chapter 11

Nathen pov.

As I carried Dad out of the bar I laughed before hiccuping a bit since I was slightly drunk. As we walked through Vale I met up with Zavala who helped me carry Dad back to the bullhead as I told him all about my encounter with Tai. "I still can't believe how that man treated you." He said in his stock voice.

"Yeah *hic* I'm just glad that I got to repay the favor." I say happily as I saw a very concerned group of women running towards us.

"What happened?" Mom asked as she got close before sniff. "Why is there fresh blood on you?"

"I got into a bar fight." I say proudly as I Trish facepalming while shaking her head.

"WHAT?!" Mom yelled before checking me over. "Who blood is it?" She asked lifting my head to see my face in the setting Suns light.

"The asshole who *hic* made me leave remnant in the first place." I say with a smirk.

"You mean the abusive father?" Mom asked as Holiday caught up.

"Why is cayde drunk?" Holiday asked taking him from me.

"We had a few drinks after I kicked Tais ass." I say with a shrug and sit down on the bullhead.

"Wait is that lipstick on your lips?" Holiday asked me as I saw trish get mad.

"Uh well the drinks weren't completely free." I say rubbing my neck. "Had to give the bartender a kiss on the lips." I then get smacked upside the head and saw Mom folding her arms irritated. "What I tried to use the currency *hic* here when she just grabbed my collar and pulled me into it."

"Still do you realize how stupid that was?" She said throwing a fit as Dad was set in a seat next to me leaning on me as he snored.

"Yes I do. It's me, remember?" I say with my free arm held out as the bullhead lifted up and started flying back to beacon.

"She is right Guardian." Zavala said as I laughed.

"Of course she is. No *hic* matter what a guy says the woman is right." I smile only to get smacked upside the head again. "Right sorry."

"But I am still glad we came to this world." Ikora said as she stared out towards vale. "There is so much hate here among the residents of this world."

"What are you talking about ikora?" Zavala asked as Eris kept giving me a glare. Trish was standing behind her mentor.

"The natives with creature extremities and the ones without hold great fear and anger towards one another. Especially one group." She said as I stood up.

"You mean the Whitefang?" I asked as ikora kept looking out. "*hic*"

"Yes." She said with concern.

"They're harmless." I say with a smile.

"When I was here 10 years ago I would sneak out of my room to see the news on about them and all they did was protest. Nothing more *hic* nothing less." I roll my eyes explaining.

"Well things have changed in 10 years." Ikora said as she turned to us. "I was able to access a computer and saw very concerning images." Her ghost then projected images of whitefang assaulting a man as he coughed up blood. Then it showed a male dog faunus running from whitefang members while holding a human girl as she cried. The finally image showed a building on fire that was surrounded by brunt corpses and whitefang members celebrating.

"This isn't right." I say sobering up from the horror I saw. "What happened?"

"That's not the only unsettling thing." Ikora said as her ghost stopped projecting the pictures and switched to a map of remnant. "I had my ghost use the communication towers to survey the world and I got readings of fallen." I roll my eyes in annoyance hearing this.

"Right now I'm more concerned with the people of the planet." I say as the ship lands. I picked up dad by his left arm and holiday grabbed his right and we walked towards beacon. "We'll set him in my room for the night." I say as i remember something. "So how is everything between you and dad?" Holiday smiles at this and looked to me.

"As you know we're finally engaged and you know about the bun in the oven." She said as zavala raised an eyebrow. "He finally accepted it after you left."

"Bout time he grew some nuts." I say chuckling at my own joke. Holiday smirked. It was 10 minutes later when we got to my dorm. Trish opened the door to lst us walk in. Jessica was sleeping on her bed as I set dad in my bed and sat in a chair as i saw holiday kiss dads metal cheek. "You can stay in here with him for the night if you want." She hugged me and snuggled into bed as Trish gave me a jealous look before getting in her bed. I sighed and looked down at my abdomen and pulled my shirt up wince in pain a bit as the fabric rubbed up against my stab wound that ruby gave me when she hugged me. "Fuck."
