"Coco when are you going to tell us the rest of your story?" Coco looked at Velvet and smirked, she continued walking down the street in downtown pulling Fox by the hand. Velvet felt so confused Coco had just decided to bring them to a place called 'The One Armed Bandit' telling them only that it had good food. Velvet looked up at Yatsuhashi for answers only to see him shrug, 'Great, he's just as confused as me.' Fox seemed to be the only one not bothered by Coco's impromptu field trip, "Do you know where we're going Fox?" Velvet asked.
"Yeah," Fox said, then realized she probably wanted more of an answer. "It's a place kinda like a bar and grill, Coco brought me here on our first date." Velvet was even more surprised to realize she hadn't known her teammates were dating, and by the looks of the quiet giant next to her he hadn't either. "The place is nice and the owner is really friendly, plus they have really good burgers. Hey big man they serve some pretty good tea too." Fox smiled as he said this, he hardly ever smiled when they went somewhere so this place must be good. After about another 20 minutes of walking they arrived at what seemed to be just a regular pub, but when they walked through the door Velvet's eyes went wide. The inside was nothing like she expected, there were tables scatter around the interior but instead of adults the tables were full of Beacon students laughing and eating. The best part was, in Velvet's opinion, that there was faunus sitting with human students without any fighting or insults. She was amazed, she almost didn't notice the rest of her team walk to the bar and sit down, she quickly moved to them and sat down. The bartender walked over and started talking to Coco and Fox, Yatsu just picked up the menu and started going over the tea selection, clearly shocked by the variety listed, while Velvet continued to look around. She noticed a sign above the bar and realized why no one was fighting, it read, 'No fighting, or bullying. The owner well personally "escort" any rule breakers from the premises.' Velvet wondered why there were quotation marks around the word escort.
"Velvet!" Coco said making her jump. "I asked you what you wanted to eat." Velvet's face went red, she tried to hide it in her menu as she looked for something that looked good, she decided on a cheese veggie burger with fries and a strawberry banana smoothie. Coco looked at the bartender, "That'll be all Nero."
"Okay it'll be about fifteen minutes, give or take. I'll be back with your drinks." He walked away to give the cook their orders and talk to another customer that had come in, but there was something weird about his eyes she couldn't figure out. "He's a snake faunus," Coco said breaking her train of thought. "You were wondering what was up with his eyes right? He's a snake faunus." Velvet sat there looking around the building there were pictures of hunters and huntresses on the wall behind the bar, and some of them looked familiar, one of the pictures showed a team of Beacon students from years ago, she recognized Glynda and Ozpin, but didn't know the other two. One was a redheaded man with a smirk and bowler hat, the other was a man with close cropped hair and stubble wearing a trench coat with a tired look on his face. She couldn't put her finger on it why, but the man in the trench coat seemed familiar like she knew him. Then Nero came back with their drinks, Coco got an espresso, Fox got some cherry soda, Yatsu had some jasmine tea, and she had her smoothie. "So about my story there really isn't much else to tell you I had my birthday party and my uncle gave me my purse. He said with this I wouldn't really need to aim, and with me that would be perfect." Fox sat beside her trying not to laugh while Coco glared at him, because he would notice, and Yatsuhashi just shook his head and smiled. Velvet was a little disappointed she was expecting something more but she did like the fact that Coco's uncle like to pick on the supposed 'too cool' team leader. When their food arrived everyone dug in, when they were done Velvet excused herself to the bathroom, on her way back she noticed a group of students who must've came in while she was in the restroom. She froze as John Cardin's eyes fell on her and a cruel smile spread across his face. Walking up to her with his gang of douchebags.
"Well I guess it's true they really do allow pets in here," Cardin said as he tried to grab her ear, but Velvet having learned from experience jumped out of the way. The rest of his team closed in and cornered her, "So where's your team, they leave you here to try to get rid of you?" She looked toward her teammates pleading that they would notice, just then Yatsuhashi looked over and his eyes widened in anger. He went to get up but to her surprise Coco put her hand on his shoulder and shook her head with a knowing smile. "Look her team leader doesn't even want the giant to save her, guess they don't want a dirty faunus on their te-" Cardin was cut off as a hand the size of a catcher's mitt covered his shoulder. Looking behind him both him and Velvet were shocked to see a man easily a foot and a half taller than Yatsu staring angrily at Cardin.
"You got bad eyes boy?" The giant asked the shocked Cardin, "Or are you just stupid?" One of Cardin's lackeys started to object to the statement but was stopped as the man's hand left Cardin's shoulder, grabbed him by the front of his shirt, and tossed him through the front door of the bar. Fear spread across Cardin's face as one of the realization of just how this strong this man was finally took hold. The giant's eyes fell on Cardin once more, "The sign above the bar says no fighting or bullying, now I was hoping Beacon made sure the students can read words with more than one syllable." One of Cardin's remaining idiots pulled a knife and stabbed the man in the stomach, he left just as quickly as the other. The last of Cardin's team was smart enough to just leave. "Now I think you should go with your friends," the man said resting his hand on Cardin's head, "let me help you out the door." With one swift movement he pick him up and threw him directly…... through the wall two feet from the door. Velvet felt her heart stop as the man set his eyes on her, he slowly reach toward her, she squeezed her eyes shut in fear. She felt a gentle pat on her head, "Are you okay miss?" She opened her eyes to see the man smiling warmly. Then it clicked this was the man from the photo, but his hair was now in a shoulder length ponytail and graying, and he was missing his left arm from the shoulder down, but the thing that struck her was his eyes or more precisely eye.
"Velvet," Coco said as she walked over with the rest of team CFVY, "I'd like you to meet my uncle, Argo Chernyy owner of the One Armed Bandit." Velvet was in shock she hadn't expected to meet Argo at all especially not like this, but something bothered her.
"Wait you never said he only had one arm how did he lose the other one?" Velvet asked before realizing just how rude the question was, "Oh, I'm sorry you don't have to answer that."
"It's okay but that's a boring story you don't want to hear that, now come on you need to get back to school before those jerks do. Ozpin well only believe me if I have witnesses, and I need Glynda to fix my wall." So this gentle giant with one arm was Coco's uncle Argo, at least now she knew where Coco got her confidence.
AN:Well I think this is a good place to end the story let me know what you think, Deadman's off to take a nap.
