Nothing but Mercenary Work: Bullied and Almost Broken Reader X RWBY

Gear Upgrade

I went back to the bio, gave you some new cosmetics and mantreads

Y/n POV

I grabbed and downed another beer, trying to figured everything out.

Y/n: so I'm not a semblanceless weakling?

Soldier: no

Engineer: you also have that respawn ability from earlier. That's probably another semblance

Y/n: I've just always been called a weakling. Who even is my real parents?!

Medic: well we knew them, sorta

Y/n: what?!

Heavy: we did not know your mother very well, we rarely saw her. Your father was the owner of Mann Co., Sexton Hale. He was Australian and most likely the strongest person alive. You are most likely much stronger than most, but knowing what you stated, you probably never gained the muscle yet

Y/n: it's just so weird. I never knew my parents well, I've always been called a weakling and I've always had the shit kicked out of me. Now I'm learning my father was probably strongest person on the world, I'm not weak and all that? Please don't tell me this is a prank

Sniper: it ain't. I feel you, but the other way. I grew up in Australia and my parents were from New Zealand. I never knew why I didn't become strong, but my adopted parents weren't either

Y/n: so what know?

Spy: you need weapons

He turned my head towards the piles of crates.

Spy: go find ones that suit you

I looked at him and stood up.

I walked over to the piles of crates, searching around.

I found what seemed to be a metal backpack, a jar of milk, bone saw, a golden pocket watch, a large metal gun, a cool looking sniper, an orange grenade launcher and a robotic hand.

Engineer: you sure you want the last one? We'll have you, well you know-

Y/n: do it. I don't care

He looked grim, grabbing the bone saw I picked up and brought me to a table.

I picked up a piece of leather off the table and gave it to me, pointing to my mouth.

Engineer: you may want to

I nodded, folding it in half and chomping down on it.

He picked up the bone saw and grabbed my right hand. I closed my eyes.

I then felt immeasurable pain and I felt my flesh and bone be cut through.

I get tears in my eyes and screamed through the leather.

Eventually, I felt heat where my hand use to be and it burned.

Engineer: ok, the hard part is over. You can take the leather out if you want

I opened my eyes, using my shirt to wipe the tears away.

I looked, seeing my hand and half my forearm gone and now a burned stump.

I picked up the robotic arm and placed it onto my stump and stuck a few things into my arm.

He powered it up and I lifted my arm. It didn't feel heavy.

I opened and closed my hand and it felt, or didn't feel, like a real hand.

I heard muffled laughed and was hugged from behind.

Medic: Pyro!

Y/n: no, please no

They looked at me.

Y/n: it's nice, feeling more affection

Engineer smiled and let out a short chuckle.

Engineer: alright. We'll teach you about everything you have now. Come on

Time skip

Y/n: so now I pick out an outfit?

It was the next day. Yesterday was all about being taught what I could do with what weapons I choose.

Scout: I got stuff you can use since we don't think any of the others stuff will fit you well

I looked at what was there, choosing a red beanie, a turtleneck and jacket and a pair of camo pants to match. I also picked up a guitar and put that on my back.

Y/n: how do I look?

He looked at me, walked around and nodded.

Scout: good, now let's get going

Y/n: where?

Scout: we got a few jobs that we still need to take care of. The pay is automatically given when completed so you're gonna do them

Y/n; so I'm being a mercenary like you guys were?

Scout: yeah, now come on!

He then ran towards the exit and I ran right after him.

But i stopped first, grabbing a pair of earbuds I saw lying on a chair.

I then chased after him, ready for my new job.

And I wanted to see what I could do. The new me.

Ok, this is done. Have a good morning evening or afternoon, see you next chapter
