An Unlikely Duo - A Way Out AU Fanfic

Home so Soon?

"Oh come on, Leo. It can't be that hard!" Vincent called with his arms crossed as he looked up at Leo, who was tightly holding onto the thick branch of a tall tree.

"C-Can't we just forget about this?! Why do I need to know how to fly?! I've been flightless for 36 fuckin' years!".

Knowing it could be really useful, Vincent decided to teach Leo how to fly. He's studied the anatomy of many different types of monsters over the years, so he knows how the Winged's body works "Because it'll save your ass one day, trust me. Especially when you and I are trying to avoid killer monsters and deadly poachers!" Vincent replied with a determined tone "and besides, I already went through the trouble of getting your dumbass up on that tree. We can go to a cliff if that's more your style...".

Leo tightly gripped onto the bark with his arms and claws "N-No! Goddammit, fine!" he gulped and sat upwards, taking a deep breath to relax himself. As he opened his large, fluffy wings, he very carefully stood up on the branch, trying his best not to shake it.

Before he could make an attempt at flying, something in the distance caught his attention. It was a large building in the far distance. How big was this island? "What the--?" Leo was suddenly cut off when he slipped and stumbled off the tree. In result, he frantically flapped his wings, but failed to prevent himself from falling on top of Vincent.

"Dammit, get off! Ugh, What the hell happened?" Vincent barked with heavy annoyance in his voice as he pushed the dazed Winged off of him.

Leo sat up and rubbed his head "Ahg..., ..There was...some sort of big building in the distance" his ears pointed up "Y-You don't think this is another poacher's island, do you?".

After thinking about it for a moment, Vincent sighed "Well, ...that would give an explanation as to why there was a Chamrosh on this island. They're not native to places like this. This whole piece of land must be some sort of prison camp for monsters".

"We have to get the fuck outta here then!" Leo stated anxiously, and Vincent quickly tried to calm him down "Don't freak out, alright? Maybe we can steal another chopper. They're bound to have some here too".

Leo rolled his eyes "What are the chances of that?".

"Leo, this is an island. They either have boats or helicopters. They most likely have the latter".

Leo nodded "Right, well what the hell are we waiting for? Those choppers aren't gonna just come to us".

"We can't just walts in there, Leo. We need a plan" Vincent rested his index finger and his thumb on his bearded chin.

Leo shrugged and stood up "Well do you have a plan?".

Vincent nodded "Yeah...but I dont think you're going to like it".

After a long walk through the dense and dangerous jungle, the two men finally made it to the large building. Vincent and Leo snuck around to the back, staying as silent as possible "What are we doing exactly?" Leo questioned, and Vincent quickly shushed him "You'll see. Just stay here". He then carefully creeped away from the large boxes that they were hiding behind and left Leo all alone and curious.

About 15 minutes later, Vincent returned with a rope in his hand, and an entirely different outfit. "What...are you wearing? And where the hell were you?!" Leo whispered, confused.

"I stole a poacher's uniform. Y'know, to blend in" Vincent replied quietly.

"How the hell am I going to blend in, dumbass?!" Leo whispered back sharply.
