Adam's Redemption

The Robbery

I don't own RWBY. RWBY is owned by Rooster teeth and was created by Monty Oum. I only own my OCs

Adam was prepping when Blake came by. Adam didn't know what she wanted, but from the look on her face, it wasn't good.

"Adam, I need to speak to you about something." Blake said. Adam sighed in response

"What did you need partner?" Adam always used the word partner when they went on missions. He only called Blake, Blake, when he was concerned or it was about something serious.

"I wanted to talk to you about the upcoming mission" Blake stated looking concentrated yet concerned at the same time. But concerned about what? Adam sighed again

"Look Blake, if this about the fact that it's a Schnee owned train then you're wasting your time." Adam and her had many arguments about this topic alone. You see, Adam is racist against humans, but not to the point of where he'd openly slaughter them. Unless it was the Schnee Dust Company.

"Adam, I just want to help." Blake had told him, genuinely meaning it

"I don't need your help with them." Adam argued

"Just don't slaughter them, please?" Blake asked

"I told you again and again Blake, THEY DESERVE IT!" Adam shouted at Blake

"NO ONE DESERVES TO DIE!" Blake shouted back

Adam was... shocked, to say the least. So shocked, in fact, that he stood there with his mouth slightly open. Blake took advantage of this and told Adam

"Look, the Schnees themselves may be, even though we know some are, racist. But that doesn't mean everyone who works for them is. What if some of them sympathized with us, supported us even? You know, like the overseer that freed you from the mine?" Blake suggested

To be honest, Adam forgot about him. Mind you, Adam had just told her about how it was actually a human who freed him. While he was thinking about it, he also remembered that it was also a human who'd trained him. A human named Raven Branwen. And now that Blake brought up the overseer, it had his mind bringing up Raven. Which got him thinking

'Can humans sympathize with faunus and even help them?' No it couldn't be, after all look at his chest for the answer. But, at the same time he couldn't take that thought off his mind along with what Blake said. Adam decided he needed a distraction and got on his scroll only to see that it was time

"We'll talk about this later at camp. For now, however, it's time." Adam said to her. At the mention of the camp, Blake tensed. He honestly didn't blame her after what happened. What he said usually meant there would be a shouting match so loud that they we're surprised no one heard it.

"Ok" Blake replied, sounding uneasy. That was weird. She's done this a hundred times before. Was it possible he missed something in the briefing? No, couldn't be. He looked at that 20x more thorough than Blake. So, just what was she uneasy about?

***

Adam and Blake were sitting over a ravine with train tracks at the bottom waiting for the train they were supposed to be robbing. Had they missed it because of their arguing? Or had the time been wrong causing them to miss it in the first place? Maybe they had went to the wrong place? Adam didn't know nor did he care, well he did sorta care. But right now Blake's words were on his mind. That along with the two humans who had helped him and asked for nothing in return. The Schnee dust company overseer that allowed him to do as he pleased by freeing him. Raven and her training, allowing him to do some good for his people. Not to mention she was like the mother he never had, even if she didn't act like it.
