Medicinal Belladonna (Blake x Male Reader)

As Heroes Rise . . .

I pull on my overcoat.

Apparently, the team had to take on a mission.

I loaded up my field medicine kit.

Yang: So, you remember what we have to do?

Me: Yup! Clear out some grimm!

I place a pouch of self-made gels into my bag.

Zwei, Ruby and Yang's dog, jumps onto my bed.

I scratch behind his ears, and he nuzzles up to my hand.

Ruby: Oh right! Y/N, we got you a present!

She holds out a wrapped box.

I open it and find a handgun, navy blue with light blue markings on it, like my coat. Also included were a few clips of ammunition and a holster.

Me: Thanks!

Ruby looks at Yang with a smug face.

Ruby: Knew he'd like it!

I packed the rest of my supplies.

As we walked out, I didn't hear Zwei barking.

As we walked out towards our transport, we struck up a conversation with JNPR and Sun and Neptune.

I mostly just spaced out, worrying about my first grimm encounter and drilling myself on gun use and field practices.

We get on the plane and I snap back to attention.

Oobleck: I've seen my fair share of tussles!

Ruby: Like the mushrooms?

Blake: Those are truffles.

Ruby: Like the sprouts?

Yang: Those are brussels.

Ruby: Like the seafood?

Me: Those are mussels.

It wasn't a long ride.

We stepped out into the ruins of an old city.

I went off to scout.

The rest of the group meets up, and we start our mission. Zwei, for reasons I chose not to question, was trotting around with us. I'm not complaining. I like Zwei.

Oobleck and I eventually are alone, watching some grimm.

Oobleck: Say, Mr. Mathis! I know about your origin, but I must know! What made you want to become a huntsman?

Me: Well, I want to help people. I wanted to become a doctor, and being a huntsman seems like it's more suited to me. I can help more people.

Oobleck: Hmm. Admirable.

Me: Though I'd be lying if I said that was the only reason. I kind of want to go home. I figured that I'd maybe meet something or someone that could maybe give me a way to go back, to even speak with someone. I miss home.

Oobleck remains silent.

Oobleck: That's . . . understandable. Do tell Miss Rose to come talk with me, won't you?

I walk back to the team.

Me: Ruby, you're up.

Ruby walks off.

I see a flying grimm swooping down. Away from the flock.

I whip out my pistol and take a shot.

The grimm falls to the ground like a bird hit by a rock.

Yang whistles.

Yang: Crackshot over here.
