Just a Bartender (RWBY OC) OLD

Prologue: Jaw-dropping

ChiggerXninja: For any name or title it is seen as an identity but most never flip the page to see the hidden piece that connects to the story.

A cold winter night, snow on the streets families bundled up in their homes there a figure in a brown cape strolls down the village's streets all was peaceful until a small whimper of pain cuts through the silence barely being heard. Springing into action the cloaked figure quickly speeds through the streets, towards the whimpers and jumping over the villages defences they turn to the side to witness a Berwgel Grimm ripping off a child's jaw their blood splattered staining the child's worn clothing and the soil.

Angered the cloaked figure charged, his katana in hand while the Grimm inches his hand towards the child again only to have its hand sliced off. The cloaked figure stands in front of the child in a protective manner, the Grimm now aggravated tries to slam his fist towards the figure. Moving quickly the figure slices through the creature's fist and follows through wedges his blade into the Grimm's throat chopping its head off.

He quickly turns back to the child's aid seeing a sky blue snake with yellow eyes protectively slithers over the child, the figure takes off their cloak wrapping it around the child his large figure hovered over the child his shaggy sliver hair glowing in the moonlight the older man quickly searches throughout his gear to find his bandages he hurries, wrapping the cloth around their injuries to stop the bleeding, now getting a better look of the child she was dressed in rags and a dusty fedora, her pale skin full of scratches, bruises, and scars that could make anyone shiver, her greasy white hair with brown tips cut very short it looked like she hadn't eaten for days. Holding the little girl in his arms careful not to hurt her more her snake slithers and rested on his shoulders he starts sprinting down the village to look for a doctor.

~Time skip brought to by my laziness~

The old shaggy man busted into the doctor's office carrying the girl in his arms.

"HEY DOC! SHE NEEDS MEDICAL ATTENTION STAT"

The doctor look worried for a moment until his eyes lingered towards the girl his face turn to disgust.

"Why would I waste my medical equipment on a street rat faunus like her!?"

"YOU RACIST PIG HOW DARE YOU, TO A LITTLE GIRL!"

The man steps forward to give the doctor a piece of his mind before the girl grips his shirt staring at him with pale yellow pleading eyes with tears streaming down her face indicating her pain. He remembers seeing no other faunus and sees many signs of stores that don't allow faunus kind.

"Was it because of the villagers, is this why you have those scars and injuries besides your jaw!?" He whispers to the girl. The girl gasps trying to talk to him but then nods pissing off the old man he grits his teeth in frustration and disgust he walks outside the building sitting on the steps the girl resting on his lap taking out his scroll he taps on a contact and brings the scroll to his ear.

"Hello Mr. Eclipse, What can I do for you?"

"Hi, can you put me through to General Ironwood?"

"Very well"

"What is it this time Professor Sliver?"

"I need a favor."

A Few weeks later...

The girl wakes up suddenly scoping her surroundings and herself seeing her injuries patched up she quickly touches her jaw feeling a cold hard surface. She turns seeing her best friend, the snake rises up and she moves her hand to meet the reptile's head and holds him in her hands, soft knocking captures her attention seeing her savor at the doorway she places down the reptile as the man walks to the seat beside her bed.

"Hello," he said giving her a small wave.

The small girl doesn't say anything but nods acknowledging his presence.

"How are you? Are you in pain?"

"Mi-Mirror p-please"

Sliver frowns conflicted but gives her one, she stares at her reflection seeing her missing jaw replaced with a silver metal jaw she slowly touches the jaw feeling the cold at her fingertips. Tears slowly dripping down her face Sliver panics wondering if she is in pain.

"T-thankyou" she sniffs

Sliver was caught off guard by her reaction but smiles warmly.

"You're welcome"

"b-but why would waste y-your money on an s-street rat let alone an f-f-faunus?"

"Why? Well, I don't like seeing anything living in pain, but enough of that why don't you tell me about yourself?"

She stares at her lap for a minute before speaking "there's not much to tell I-it's just been m-me and W-Washington for as long as I can remember."

"Washington?" Sliver questions

"T-the snake"

"oooh, what about you what's your name?"

"I-I d-don't have one"

"Hmm how about I give you one"

The girl's eyes brighten up with excitement, Sliver sweat drops at her reaction.

"Noctis Eclipse because your eyes and hair remind me of the night sky, do you like it?"

Noctis smiles happily and nods Sliver lets out a sigh of relief the girl giggles at his reaction, he smiles seeing her giggle.

"Well my name is Silver Eclipse nice to meet you Noctis, now I was wondering if *ahem* if I could adopt you as my granddaughter if y-you would like of course," Silver asks scratching his head in embarrassment.

Noctis's eyes widen she quickly tears up an lunges at him hugging him tightly and nods quickly he hugs her back holding the girl as she sheds tears of happiness.
