We Are Stronger Together (RWBY x OC's)

Encore

Allen Strand sits in his office with Roman and his partner. He sips on his drink as Roman eyes him along with his mute partner. Allen pours Roman a drink

Strand: drink, to celebrate a job well done

Roman: I wouldn't exactly call it a job well done. I'm sure Mrs.fall would think the same.

Strand: oh come on don't be a downer. A job well done to me is any job where I don't die.

Roman: do you ever care about anyone but yourself.

Strand: I cared about my wife before she was murdered. I'm sure that you cant talk much considering your tendency to be a hypocrite.

Roman: I care about Neo here.

He points to the girl with multicolored hair and heterochromia eyes that matched her hair. She smirks at strand and sticks her tongue out.

Strand: you only care cause she does your dirty work. I have plenty of them.

Roman shakes his head.

Roman: don't blame me because sapphire died. Your father did that remember.

Strand: how could I forget. Your such a piece of shit sometimes, I should've shot you when you had your poor fucking attempt at pickpocketing me all those fucking years ago.

Roman: then why didn't you.

Strand: because our kind. The useless fucks that resort to a life of crime ordering others to do their dirty work, have to stick together!

Strand slams his desk causing them to jump.

Strand: you and I both know we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me. If it wasn't for me stabbing my dad in the back to put an end to his reign. If it wasn't for that his chapter of the arrowheads would still be roaming around putting all of us out of business!

Roman scoffs.

Strand: fuck you roman.

Roman: right back at you

Strand takes a sip of his drink and begins to remember his past.

*8 years ago*

An 17 year Allen sits in club. He enjoys his drink as he watches others dance with their partners. He scoffs and just goes back to drinking. He had weighed himself for the last two years with the burden of taking down one of the most dangerous crime lords in remnant. He seemed to be in a world of his own until a woman with dark blue hair and Silver Eyes sat in his booth. It was his future wife Sapphire Strand. She was an orphan and only had a last name when she married strand.

Sapphire: hey handsome what are you doing here all your lonesome?

Strand breaks himself out of thought. He eyes the woman.

Strand: just having a drink and pondering the choices that led up to this moment.

He says coldly as he looks back at his drink.

Sapphire: well why don't I join you.

Strand: do as you please.

He sips his drink as the women orders a drink of her own.

Sapphire: can I get a name to work with?

Strand: Allen

Sapphire: so Allen, come here often

Strand: Not really.

Sapphire: your a tough nut to crack

Strand: I'm sorry. You kinda caught me in my "reminiscing" phase of the week.
