...
It was winter in the City of Atlas, where a man can be seen wearing a white overcoat, with a gray undercoat, black sweater, a red necktie and a white glove on his right hand. His suit pants shared the same color as his overcoat and were tucked into silver boots accented in gray.
He was wandering alone around the streets of the city, viewing the city's lights. As he was passing by an alley.
He heard a soft cry in the back alley, he turned his attention to the noise and directed him looking at a green dumpster.
The noise can be heard from the back of the dumpster, so the man approached with caution at the prior.
There he faced a child, crying softly, all alone in the corner of the city alley.
The child appears to be lost, judging from his tattered clothes with covered snows from the weather, he has been here for hours in despair.
His hair was red and had two black horns sticking out above his forehead, a faunus, his skin was pale and beaten or at worst hungry, his hands were covering his weeping face.
"Excuse me-" Startling the child as he removed his right hand out of his face giving him a panicked look. "Are you alright?"
The child looked directly at the man's face and hesitated first, but then shook his head.
"Are you lost?" Ask the man.
Another denial response from the child
The man was unsure what to do
But looking at his right face, he must've been hurt badly, as tears burned in his right eye again, the boy covered his face again.
The man tried to reach his hand out to the child, but only to see him react with fear as the red-haired boy quickly pushed himself up and distanced himself away from the man.
The man caught a few seconds' glimpse from his left face as the boy's quick reaction escaped.
SDC, that's what the man has seen from his left eye. A slave from the Schnee Dust Company.
"I-I see." said the man as he looked at the boy with a bleeding heart.
The man thought for a moment as he looked at the boy before making his quick decision to nod to himself.
He reached out his hand at the boy.
"Come with me, boy. If you want to change the world."
The boy hesitated for a moment to accept the man's hand at first as he stared at the man's eyes with both his ruined and fixed eyes at him.
To the boy's field of vision, he saw a flash of image of the man that was helping him, shaking his right hand and his left hand on his shoulder with a proud look on the man's face towards him. Through that vision he saw that the boy was a grown up with a good parent, a father that is proud of him.
Back in the present, the boy accepted the man's hand.
"Adam." said the boy softly.
"M-my name is Adam "
"James Ironwood, Headmaster of Atlas Academy, a General of the Atlesian Military and a holder of two seats on the Atlas Council, why would you want to adopt a boy?" the Judge asks
"Because your honor, when I found Adam it reminded me how I started in life and now I want to give him the one thing I always wanted: a home." replied James
"And you're sure you're capable of meeting all the challenges of raising a faunus boy?"
"With all due respect how hard could it be." Putting his hands at his back
"Very well then, if a faunus can take a human in. I see no reason why a human cannot adopt a faunus." Ending the sentence with the Gavel
Adam with an eye patch on his branded eye approaches James as the case was closed
"Can I really change the world?" Ask Adam
"Of course my boy-" lifting Adam up and places him on his shoulders
"-with my care and guidance, you can prove anything."
A news photographer took a photo of them and was uploaded in the media with the headline stating: Human adopts Faunus.
Years later...
A young man wearing a black cloth wrapped around his left eye, was walking briskly towards the Headmaster Office, barging in.
"Sir." he saluted the Headmaster.
The Headmaster was on a holographic call with another Headmaster from another Academy
The Headmaster in the call, bids farewell as he dismisses the call.
"At ease." Said the Headmaster, to which the man complied.
"I have a mission for you." Said the Headmaster as he put his arms on the table and folds his fingers like a Mastermind
In this Fanfiction, Adam Taurus was adopted by James Ironwood of the General of Atlas Military and Headmaster of the Academy making him, Adam Ironwood
