Lost Father

Reunion

Y/N POV

Y/N: "Hey Neo."

Her eyes widen as her shock matches mine. Then in a flash she wraps her arms around me in a tight hug. I return it as her shoulders shake. I rub her back as she buries her face and stains my shirt with her tears.

Neo: "I though you left me."

Y/N: "I'd never leave you Neo."

We finally break the hug as I look Neo over.

Y/N: "You've uh... really grown."

Neo: "Yep. A lot can happen in seven years."

Y/N: "That it can. Say, what'd ya say we go and grab a bite to eat?"

Neo: "I could eat."

Y/N: "Then let's go."

We exit Beacon hitching a ride to Vale. We then walk down the street; but that's when I bump shoulders with a boy. He has fiery red hair with orange hair. 

Boy: "Sorry about that. Wasn't watching where I was going."

Y/N: "Nah that was my fault."

Boy: "Well either way. Have a nice day."

Y/N: "And to you."

He smiles walking away.

Neo: "Who was that?"

Y/N: "I don't know. But I felt something. Like I knew him."

Neo: "We met a lot of people when we were traveling, so you're bound to feel a sense of deja vu with some people."

Y/N: "Maybe."

I shake that feeling and walk with Neo to the restaurant. Placing our orders we sit and talk.

Y/N: "So, what've you been up to in those seven years?"

Neo: "Mostly training. When I got old enough I called in that favor from Ozpin and went to Beacon. Now I'm a full time student and on an all girl team."

Y/N: "Sounds like you're having a good time."

Neo: "I am. The best of my life."

There's a brief silence.

Neo: "Y/N."

Y/N: "Yes?"

Neo: "What happened the day you left?"

I freeze recalling that day.

Y/N: "It started when we entered the town on the southern end of Vale.

*small flashback*

Neo and I walk into the local inn. After booking a room Neo dives onto the bed. 

Neo: "This' divine."

Y/N: "Enjoy it. We're gonna be here for a few days."

Neo: "Does that mean no work?"

Y/N: "Yep. We just did a month's worth of work. We deserve a break."

Neo: "What am I supposed to do?"

Y/N: "Whatever you want."

Neo looks around the room while I leave to check out the bar. As I sit down some drunk loud mouth gets too close.

Man: *slurred* "Hey. What's a mercenary doing here?"

Y/N: "Buzz off asshole."

Man: "No. We don't take too kindly to killers."

Y/N: "I'm warning you. Leave before I break your jaw."

I sip from my bottle when the man pokes my side.

Man: "I'll give you one last chance. Leave or we'll make you."

I ignore him which only pisses him off.

Man: "Damn merc!!!"

He attempts to swing at me. But I swing my bottle into his jaw dislocating it. He's thrown back into the wall. Several men stand staring at me.

Y/N: "You don't want this fight."

Man2: "Get him!!!"

Two men rush towards me. I activate my ability appearing behind them grabbing the back of their coats. I then slam their heads together shattering both of their auras. A third man manages to grab my arms holding them behind me. 

A fourth man rushes in fists raised. Emptying my mind I snap my arm freeing myself. I then thwip it popping the man in his face. He breaks his hold allowing me to kick his chest. This sends him away with his back colliding with the bar edge.

Turning around I use my good arm to catch the fourth man's fist. Then throwing him over my shoulder he lands on the ground. To put him down I kick his elbow breaking it. With him down I face the one who called the attack. 

He withdraws a knife aiming it at me. He screams running towards me. He thrusts his knife forward. I twist waving it away. I then elbow his face breaking his nose. I disarm him of his knife and stab it in his thigh. To finish him off I grab the back of his neck and slam him into ground shattering his aura.
