Y/N POV
Training with Glynda and Winter is exhausting but fun at the same time. While they train my dodging, agility, stamina etc... I throw compliments at them which makes them blush. It's been a week since I received my new armour and since then I've been training with both women for 2 hours a day. Most of the time we were working on my dodging and while I felt like it was unimportant at first, I've come to realise that I had a lot to improve and boy did I improve. My dodging ability has DOUBLED in the past couple of days.. Well, that's no surprise considering what they put me through.
Flashback:
"AAAAAHHHHH" I screamed, jumping over the hail of rocks that followed me around like a snake. Ice glyphs appeared under my feet nearly every second and bullets were fired at me nearly every moment.
End of flashback:
I shuddered as I though about how scary they could be, but I became warm inside when I thought about how protective they could be.
Another flashback:
Jumping over a slash from winter I landed oddly and stumbled, unable to dodge the incoming attack from Glynda. A spear of rocks hit me squarely in the chest, sending me soaring into the air and into a wall. Almost instantly, Glynda and Winter were by my side to make sure I was okay.
"Oh my Oum! I'm so sorry y/n!" said Glynda, examining my ribs. Her face, as well as Winter's, was full of concern.
"G-Glynda" I whispered.
"ye?" she asked
"c-come closer"
Approaching my face, Glynda tried to listen carefully to what I'd say next. Slipping my mask up, I pecked Glynda on the lips which made her a blushing mess.
"I'm better now"
End of Flashback

Jumping along the rooftops of Vale, I made my way towards an 'abandoned' warehouse that has had some activity as of recently. Overlooking the warehouse, I watched as a large truck started to unload crates with the schnee logo on them. Honestly, I couldn't give a fuck about the old cunt's dust getting stolen, but this confirms white fang are involved. Snapping a few pics with my scroll, I silently moved to the roof of the warehouse and peered through the skylight to see what appeared to be 100's of crates filled with, presumably, filled with dust. Roman torchwick was shouting at a bunch of faunas carrying crates into the warehouse before going back to his planning board. Sneaking in, I silently ran across the beams to the other side of the building before planning how I'm going to approach this. Dropping down without a sound, I swiftly killed 3 white fang with their backs to me before moving on to the rest. Using my sharp claws I covered a white fang members mouth before slitting open his throat. Before I could continue however, a red dust crystal landed infront of me, causing my eyes to widen before swiftly back flipping away, barely dodging an explosion. White fang grunts fired at my position as I ran into cover, tapping my screen to withdraw my revolvers. Gripping the handles, I pulled them out and spun them around my fingers before gripping them tightly in my hands. Slotting a vial of ice dust into both of my guns, a smile tugged at my lips as a slight blue glow emmited from the chamber.

Peaking out, I quickly shot 4 white fang grunts before running out and unloading the rest of my loaded bullets, landing every single shot. Emptying the shells, I loaded two more cartridges in before flicking it shut and continuing my onslaught.

By now, nearly everyone was dead and the rest was retreating.
"Neo, kill him" said the ginger fuck. Suddenly, a cute pink and brown haired girl dropped down infront of me with a cheeky smile adorning her lips.
"well hello cutie" I said, causing her to slightly blush. Holstering my revolvers, I tapped two buttons on my screen which made my revolvers dissapear and my kitana appear. Withdrawing my blade, I blocked a swing from the girls umbrella before retaliating with my own to which she blocked rather effortlessly. Swing for swing we traded with each other until she landed a kick to my chest, causing me to go soaring through the air into the wall. Running at me, neo stepped over the blade which I dropped in shock from the sudden kick before lunging at me with her blade poised at my neck, mistaking me for being unarmed. Ejecting my hidden blade, I blocked her umbrella before punching her square in the face and teleporting to my kitana. Picking up the blade, I spun it into the sniper form before shooting neo in the head but she just shattered like glass. Spinning round I was able to block the umbrella with my sniper before trying to shoot her again, but she just dodged it.
"so sweetie, your very skilled for a little girl" I said with a chuckle but my smile dropped when she glared at me. Swift strikes were sent at me and I struggled to keep up until a hit landed and I was sent back with what felt like a truck hitting me, causing me to sprawl out on the ground with a groan of pain.
"r-right, d-d-don't call you L-little. G-got it" I struggled before jumping up. Locking blades, we stood there in a battle of strength trying to win against the other when we heard something drop right next to us. Looking down, both our eyes widened when a piece of uncut dust stared at us. Grabbing Neo I quickly teleported away, narrowly dodging the fiery red explosion.
"SHIT! ATLAS IS HERE, RETREAT!" shouted Roman before running off, leaving Neo as Ironwood and his men stormed the building. Neo's eyes were full of betrayal, tears rolling down her face.

Voices echoed in my head, faint memories coming back to haunt me
"PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! PLEEEEEEAAAAASSSSEEEEE"
Against my better judgement I quickly picked her up and placed her in a crate of dust, her petite body barely fitting in the tight bit of space before shutting the lid and sitting on the crate. Just seconds after I shut the lid Ironwood and his men appeared with guns pointed at me.
"Hello Ironwood, I've killed all the white fang and recovered 100's of crates of dust. Roman Torchwick  barely escaped me but I'll kill him next time we meet" I said, causing most of his soldiers to look confused.
"weapons down, it's a freindly" Ironwood said, though a bit reluctantly.
"aww, thankyou general how very kind of you to not shoot me. But after this massive thing I've done for you I believe it's only fair if I ask you for a teensy weensy favour" I said in a sing song voice.
"and what would that favour be?" he growled out.
"well, I'm low on dust and I've spent alot of money so I'd rather not spend more. When you arrived at the warehouse it appeared that one of the crates was destroyed, but the rest was perfectly fine." I said, tapping the crate I was sitting on.
"... Appears so, get out of here before I change my mind" Ironwood gritted out. Pushing the crate into the back of a white fang insurgent, I got in the front before starting the 20 minute drive to my safe house. After 5 minutes I heard shuffling before the practically weeping Neo sat in the front seat, covering her face but not making a single noise. It seems nearly being killed and abandoned by the person she looked up to has left her broken, shattered like glass... I'm actually making jokes right now. Pulling my mask off I allowed my face to greet the cool air, which caused Neo to look at me with a slight blush. I wasn't worried about anything outside the vehicle seeing me because the windows were blacked out.
"so, you've been betrayed by the person you look up to. What do you plan to do now?" I asked.
Withdrawing her scroll she typed a message before showing me
'I guess I'll go on the run, lay low. Presuming you won't kill me when we arrive at where ever your taking me'
" and why would you need to go on the run? White fang presume your arrested or dead, atlas has no idea you exist. Your a free woman, yet your on your own now. Join beacon with me, we can go to the headmaster and if it goes wrong I can guarantee you get out safely"
'really?'
"yep, though we should probably sleep at my safehouse tonight"
'okay... And thankyou'
"no problem my little ice cream"
Blushing lightly, Neo's tears cleared up before she hugged me tightly. Draping my arm around her shoulders I kissed her head before focusing on driving to the safehouse.

Pulling onto the drive I pulled out my scroll and tapped the garage button to open the garage door before pulling the insurgent inside and closing the door. Turning the engine off I opened the boot and hopped out, walking to the back. Tapping a few buttons on my scroll, the floor started to skake a little until it started to descend. Neo's face was noticeably shocked and confused so I decided to enlighten her
"the house is technically owned by schnee. They learnt of a massive cavern of dust under the block but realised that to legally mine it they would have to buy everyone out of there houses, so they came up with a solution. They bought an empty house and mined down to the cavern where they mined it bare. After the cavern was stripped they realised filling it back up would cost alot of money so they left it, leaving me with a house that no one would check and no one would buy. It only took a few months to create the elevator and basically the main safe house because most of the minining was already done."
After the elevator came to a stop, neo looked on with stars in her eyes. Inside the cavern was a bed, a motorbike, a vehicle editing station, an armoury, a dust supply and a set up of computers. I drove the insurgent to the vehicle editing station before getting back out and pulling the crate of dust out, struggling to carry it by myself. Suddenly, I felt the crate lose half it's weight so I peeked around the box to see Neo holding it with all her strength, strain on her face which made her look cute.
"thanks Neo, just over there at the dust supply"
Finally getting the crate to the dust supply I took the lid off before breaking the front side off, spilling capsules of dust out into a pile. Grabbing the capsules I started to refill my supplies before filling viles for my weapons and storing them inside my armour.
"refill the dust that you need" I said, smiling warmly at her. Once she refilled her dust vials, Neo jumped onto the bed with a satisfied smile as she was enveloped by the soft mattress. When I started to approach the sofa, Neo suddenly tugged my arm to the bed until I was lieing on it with her sleeping on my chest.
"good night Neo... I won't ever turn my back on you, ever."
I smiled when I felt her hug me tighter, seems she liked what I said.
