"What about the crew members?" Blake asked in worry for the answer she might get.

"What?" Adam asked in confusion, with no warmth in his voice.

"You can't kill innocent people, Adam!" Blake snapped back.

Adam silently faced Blake for a minute. "Blake." He started slowly. "This is a SDC freight train." He continued.

Blake's face adopted an expression of righteous fury and she opened her mouth to express the fury into words, but Adam squashed her fury with his next words.

"There are no people on this train."

Blake paused.

"We went over this during planning, weren't you paying attention?"

Blake didn't say anything, she actually didn't pay attention earlier, she was too busy lost in her doubts.

Adam sighed. "Blake, the SDC has machines guard shipments to reduce Grimm attacks. Pay attention next time."

Blake was silently suffering, she was conflicted, on the one hand they weren't killing people, but on the other, she kinda wanted an excuse to leave the White Fang.

Adam chuckled dryly as he walked away to set the charges. "Honestly, blowing up a train with people in it? What are we? Terrorists?"

Blake couldn't help but saying the first thing that came to mind. "It wouldn't be the first time you've killed."

Adam paused and turned back to her with a sigh. "Blake, I've told you before, I don't go out looking to kill, they're accidents, I can't tell how much Aura people have left." Then he proceeded to set the charges.

Blake grumbled, but stayed with Adam.

After dealing with the extra security onboard the train and finishing the job, they went back to their camp hidden in Forever Fall forest.

Blake was sad when she returned, so she went straight to her tent, and read a guilty pleasure of hers, it was an erotic novel titled 'Ninja's of Love'.

Blake slowly drifted off into the warm embrace of sleep.

When Adam came to wake her up, he found her holding a book to her chest and drooling. "Blake." He said.

The ribbon hiding Blake's cat ears twitched.

"Wakey Blakey~" Adam sang.

The ribbon twitched violently, as Blake stirred.

"Wakey-Wakey Blakey-Cakey~" Adam sang loudly.

Blake was up as soon as Adam finished, clearly miffed about her catnap, not that she would let anyone call it that, getting interrupted. "What?"

"Pack your bags, we're going to Beacon." Adam said, smiling down at Blake.

"Wha?" Blake asked as her brain raced. "What!? Why!? How!?" And her mouth tried keeping up with her mind.

"The human from earlier came back and threatened my people." Then Adam sighed. "I have to play along with her or she'll kill them. She wanted to use the White Fang as her army." But then Adam smiled again. "Luckily I was able to change her mind, now we, me and you, have to infiltrate Beacon instead."

Blake thought she would be speechless, but apparently her mouth still moved. "B-but Humans?!"

Adam tilted his head slightly to the left. "Blake." He started, an underlying tone of worry lacing his voice. "Surely you don't think all humans are bad?" He finished with a small step backwards.

Blake's face twisted in confusion at the words coming from his mouth.

"Oh no." Adam whispered incredulously, mistaking her confusion at him saying those words, for confusion at implying there were good humans. He took a few steps forward, and grabbed her shoulders. "Blake, there are good humans, they may be hard to find, but Huntsmen bring out the best in people."

Blake likely would have fallen down, if not for Adam's grip on her. "Why would you say that?" She needed to know, didn't Adam hate humans? Wasn't he a monster blinded by anger?

Adam took a breath, before sighing in longing. "When I was a child, about nine years old, I met a white cloaked Huntress with silver eyes, she was so kind, I didn't think she was human at first. The only humans I knew were cruel, and I thought all humans were the same, but after meeting her, being saved by her, I opened my eyes. Humans, Faunus, we're all the same, that's why we deserve equality. Some are cruel other are kind, but we're all equal."

Blake was stunned in silence, as Adam told his story. "But you- you- you-" She tried to comment on his behaviour.

Adam sensing her question, answered. "Blake, I never claimed to hate all humans, it just so happens most of them hate us, and that's reason to hate them back."

Blake sat in silence, in shock, it's been a wild ride for her brain.

Adam pulled her in for a quick hug, then he let her go. "Hurry and pack, we leave at sunrise."

As Adam left, Blake's brain was still rebooting, but she was able to pack on autopilot.

When she finished packing her belongings into two duffle bags, and essentials into a small bag, she went right to sleep.

When morning came, Blake had suspected last night to be a dream, but the packed bags made her doubt it, and Adam 'knocking' at her tent dashed away the remaining doubt that it was just a dream.

"Blakey-cake, you up?" He asked, his tone awfully joyfull.

"I'm..." 'Losing my mind' she almost said. "Up." She said instead.

After saying their farewells to their fellow White Fang members, Adam and Blake walked through the forest of Forever Falls in silence.

A silence only broken by Adam's whistling.

"Why are you so happy?" Blake asked, barely keeping herself from shouting.

"Oh, I was just imagining our new life, as undercover spies for a mysterious human." Adam answered.

"You... You seem so different." Blake said, shivering as a chill went down her spine.

Adam looked towards the sky. "As odd as it sounds, I feel free." He admitted softly.

"Free?"

"Since the White Fang changed, I've been called a hero or savior by some, and Sienna keeps giving me harder and harder missions, it's a lot of pressure." Adam explained.

"But weren't you happy?"

"Yes, I was happy to contribute to the White Fang." He paused. "But, sometimes I find myself questioning what I'm fighting for. Or if I was doing the right thing."

Blake didn't know what to say, to think Adam has had the same kind of thoughts as she did, was a weird feeling.

"But, now I'm sacrificing myself to make sure the White Fang doesn't turn into an attack dog you could just point at an enemy." He shook his head. "Speaking of our mission, any ideas as to how we get into Beacon."

Blake already had a plan, a plan she was going to use when she left the White Fang. "I... Have some ideas."

When the kingdom walls came into view, Adam took off his white mask, and hid his SDC brand under some medical bandages. Tucking away his mask in a bag, he followed Blake.

Blake had led him to an outpost with a single guard, after slipping him some money, he let them into Vale.

Then Blake enacted her original plan, with the addition of another person.

{Prologue End.}

The Ship will be Adam x Anyone he comes across, but it'll be a slow burn, so no one falls in love with him right off the bat.

Review who you want Adam to be with, the only risk is Blake's mental health.
