Mr. Ninja ( Rick Grimes x Male Oc )

Chapter 2:

Third POV

It almost seemed like days that they were here, sitting around.

But it was only hours. The man in black had slowly and carefully grabbed his bag.
He looked through it, making sure that he didn't lose anything. While trying to obviously not wake the still sleeping and still unknown boy that is in his lap.

As he was looking around in his bag the boy started to stir in his lap. His tiny hands that were clutching onto his suit, were starting to lessen there grip on his black clouded suit. But the man didn't seem to noticed that the boy was starting to stir and wake up.

The brunette boy kept on stirring more and more as he kept on hearing items cluttering and clicking together.

The brunette opened his eyes and saw that the man that had saved him was the one that was the one making the noise. As he was looking through his bag.

'Maybe he's looking for something?'
The boy thought.

The brown haired boy wanted to talk to the man. So he tugged on the black suit and waited to the man to look down on him.
When he did look down, he didn't say anything. All he saw were his eyes and that mask that was covering the bottom half of his face.

Covering all but his ice blue eyes, which were looking down at him. Even though the color seemed cold, the way he was looking at him wasn't.

He didn't look away, almost like he was waiting for him to say something.

"Um my name is Carl, I just wanted to thank you for helping me." The boy said.

Carl POV

All that the man did was just nod his head at me, I really wanted to ask for his name. Maybe even stay with him since everything that happened.

'I'm not even sure where my mom is...'

I got off of his lap once I realized that I was still on it. Once I got up I looked at him and asked him.

"What's your name?" He didn't respond.

"Can you talk?" He once again didn't respond.

He just looked down and started going through his bag once again. I looked down feeling sad and was thinking that I somehow offended him because of what I asked him.
I was lost in my thoughts, thinking about everything, when he put a notebook in front of me.
I looked up at him and smiled, I looked back down at the notebook and read what he wrote.

Hey

The note said I looked up and laughed happy that we are talking. I then gave him the notebook back and asked him for his name again. The man looked at me and just shrugged his shoulders and looked back down.

'Did he forgot his name?'
I looked down feeling sad for him, but then thought of something.

"Hey how about I give you a name?!"

The man looked at me, even though he was wearing a mask I could see the mask moving upwards in a smiling motion and gave a nod.

Man in black POV

I honestly have no clue what came over me, maybe it was the way he looked sad and down when I wouldn't ( couldn't) talk to him.
Or maybe it was how he reminded me of myself looking down and sad and how there was no one there for me.

That answers to all of my questions of what to do. And just of how maybe I should try and stick with him, for now.
As crazy and, mad I may seem.
It's the right thing to do...

All I have to do now is to stay alive and take care of Carl, live for him like how I wanted someone to do for me.

So we might as well stay at camp here with the other people, as much as I want to be alone and travel. It will be good for Carl hell it may be good for the both of us. To stay together with everyone, for the kids sake at least.

I look at Carl as he's thinking of 'names' for me, but when I looked up at the other people around us. Some of them are making camp, while others are talking to each other, about who knows what.

I looked back at Carl as he starts talking to me once again. I couldn't help but internally chuckle at the happy look on his face once he starts talking about the names for me.

"I came up with a few names if you want to hear them?" He said and all I did and could really do was nod.

I couldn't help the small smile.
As he started listing names.
Some were okay, some were outright horrible.
But the very last one was the one that really caught my attention.

For many reasons.

Even Carl got really excited about that one, he just seemed happy about it. And so when I picked it, he was twice as happy as when he was just as happy as when he was talking about the name.
The name was Ninja, he said that he actually saw me on the rooftops running and jumping across them.

Even with what I was wearing all black clouded clothes and a mask. That covers half of my face but my eyes. That was easily the reason why he put that as an option.
So I couldn't help but chose that one for those same reasons as well then. So my name now, I guess, is Ninja.
Or as Carl likes to call me, Mr. Ninja.

Time skip to couple hours
Third POV

In just a few short hours they all introduced themselves to each other.

The Dixon brothers.
They are rather aggressive and don't seem to play well with others.

The Harrison sisters, who are 12 years apart and look to be nice and what not.
At least the little sister Amy was.

Then there was Ed who was an abusive asshole. You can't hide that. Who was married to a sweet woman named Carol and they both have an daughter named Sophia.

The last two he got before he stopped listening was Glenn and Dale.

Dale who was an older man and looks to have some mechanical experiences.

Then Glenn who was a young Korean male who often goes on runs and scouting missions for supplies and such for us.

That's where Ninja stopped listening to them and just decided to 'try' to be 'civil' with everyone as possible.

Let's just hope that it works
