[ON HIATUS] We're Not Dreaming (Mercury x OC)

Painting the Town...

I floated a few feet above ground, setting Ming down before landing myself. "Blanche.... please give me some warning before you do that again," he huffed. I half grinned at him before motioning him close to the wall of an alley. "Ok this is where things will get dangerous. We're outside one of the White Fang storage houses. It's their best guarded place in Vale. Since there have been so many Dust robberies around Vale, chances are that the Dust is being stored here. If it isn't, it's been moved somewhere else and we need to see if we can find out where."

Ming nodded and started scouting the perimeter. His semblance was very useful in times like this. He could analyze any combat scenario in any environment, and come up with every possible outcome as well as the counters and moves that the enemy could make. It was like his brain was part computer, as he has been able to accurately analyze outcomes in places he had never been to. He once described it as something like a massive chessboard. "Got it," he mumbled, dropping back next to me,"Our best chances of not being spotted would be going through an open window on the north side of the warehouse. All entrances and exits are guarded, so you'll have to turn invisible and fly us there. Once inside, there's not much in terms of cover so you'll have to keep us invisible. Most of the White Fang members seem to be gone, there aren't as many as you had described on our flight here."

I furrowed my brow,"That's strange. This is normally their most heavily guarded warehouse. The fact that there aren't many members here means they must have moved their base of operations somewhere else." I grabbed Ming, turned us invisible, and leapt off the building. Flying towards the north side of the building, I saw the open window Ming had talked about. I hoisted him up, and he slid his body through the window. I went through after him, making sure to keep my grip on his arm tight. Invisibility didn't work for other people unless I was holding on to them.

We dropped down on to a storage box, scanning for any nearby danger. The White Fang who was the closest to us was knocked out asleep, snoring softly. I shook my head at the man, before leading Ming towards some shipping containers. The warehouse was almost completely empty, and a peek inside the containers showed they were just spares. There wasn't a speck of Dust to be seen.

"Hey Perry, the boss says to get as many of the White Fang to our operation in the Southeast. Mountain Glenn is a dangerous area, so we need people to keep the Grimm away from the Underground," one of the White Fang members suddenly called out. "Mountain Glenn? What's the White Fang doing there?" I whispered. The doors slid open, Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury walking through them. I gritted my teeth and pulled Ming up roughly. He jerked in surprise and looked at me quizzically. I shook my head, and I started creeping back towards the trio.

"So Roman, how is everything going at the White Fang meeting?" Cinder's silky voice drifted towards us. Ming and I found a perch next to a few crates. "I am surrounded by idiots," Roman's annoyed voice came from the scroll in her hand,"These mutts almost damaged the Paladin. Don't they know it was hard to steal this from the Atlesian army? Thankfully, the reveal is soon." Cinder closed the call, and Emerald and Mercury glanced back at her.

"Let's get back to Beacon," she drawled to them. They nodded, and the White Fang closed the doors behind them. "Let's go," I whispered to Ming. We went back through the window, and landed on a roof a short distance away. I looked around and saw night had already fallen.

Our earpieces suddenly crackled to life, recieving a call from someone. "Everyone, if you can hear me, we need-" "HEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPP!" Blake and Sun's voice came through. "They got a robot, and it's big, really big!" Sun's panicked voice hit our eardrums. "Oh I am not missing this!" we heard Ruby reply. "We're on our way as well," I spoke into the microphone piece, and grabbed Ming before taking off,"Ming, track down Blake's scroll's GPS signal." "On it." "The Torchwick guy's in it! But not like, it didn't eat him, he's like, controlling it or something!" "Where are you guys?" Yang asked. A loud yell came from Sun as a response.
