54 Chapter 54. A New But Familiar Face

I woke up staring at an unfamiliar ceiling and I close my eyes again. I focused on my magic and started healing my tired body then speeding up the closing of my new scars. Soon I was back in top form and I checked my surroundings. The room I'm in is far too nice to be a hospital room with all the fancy furniture and decorations. I moved my body and was assaulted with soreness across it makes me wince a little.

I put myself in a sitting position and looked over my bandaged body and started removing the bandages as I already healed up. Still feeling sore all over I forced myself to get up from the bed and find my stuff. I stumbled a little bit but I caught myself and used my sonar to speed up my search for my things. Thankfully they were in the room except for my clothes, first I put on my blue jade ring then checked my scroll.

I have only been out of it for half a day meaning I didn't miss my date with Winter and I still need to see Pietro. Next to my stuff was a suitcase, I opened it up and found a new outfit in my size. I got dressed in the new gear, it was a dark grey duster coat with a white undershirt along with black pants and boots. Admiring my new outfit for a few moments I head out of the room to find my host or at least where I am.

As I open the door I found Rory in front of me in a sexy nurse outfit, it was mainly white with red accents with a heart shape opening revealing her cleavage and a really short skirt. She was also wearing white stockings that had a red heart in front of her thighs and high heels. I pinched myself to see if I was dreaming and the pain said I was awake I then wondered if I was hallucinating because Rory didn't strike me as the nursing type especially in a sexy nurse costume.

I heard a giggle and the Rory in front of me said.

Rory: You like what you see dear. Now, this isn't the only thing I'm willing to do for you, you shy little tiger.

Yeah, I'm not hallucinating because she was drawing hearts on my chest with her finger and you can't feel hallucinations. I sighed and asked.

Silva: Rory about your grandfather and Old Wolf...

Rory had a sad smile on her face and placed her finger on my lips stopping me continuing. She looked at me and said.

Rory: I gave them a quick and quiet cremation just like they wanted and you don't have to worry about murder charges because your fight qualifies as a private duel.

I pulled Rory into a tight hug she tensed up and I ask.

Silva: Have you cried yet?

She relaxed and told me.

Rory: I have already grieved for them but thank you anyway, Silva.

As I let her go I ask her.

Silva: What now?

Rory had a mischievous grin and replied.

Rory: Well you could lay back down in the bed so that I can put this nurse costume to good use and "examine" you.

I just rolled my eyes at Rory's antics and told her.

Silva: Rory we need to have a talk.

Rory looked curious and asked.

Rory: What about?

Silva: About us...

Rory looked serious and waited for me to continue.

Silva: Rory you need to understand that I already have a few women willing to share me and I don't intend to ever give them up.

Rory frowned but kept quiet as I continue.

Silva: However, I am willing to give you a chance to monopolize me but you have to agree to something first.

Rory had a predatory smile on as she asked.

Rory: What do I need to agree to?

Silva: To a request of mine if I win.

Rory: Done.

Seeing Rory unhesitant in agreeing I continue.

Silva: We will fight each other tomorrow with everything we have without holding back. Needless to say, if you win I'm yours but if I win you will full fill my request to the letter, and in spirit do you agree.

Rory nodded then told me.

Rory: I have a few conditions, first I pick where we fight, and second rather than tomorrow we will fight a week from now.

I nodded in agreement and Rory then said.

Rory: Now why don't you get in bed so I can "examine" you.

She licked her lips as I sighed a then flicked her forehead and take my leave then call Pietro.

Silva: Hey, Pietro sorry for the late call I have been out of it for over half a day due to some injuries, can we still meet up?

Pietro: Wait what...? Are you alright Silva?

Silva: I'm alive and well but I got some new scars but anyway do you still want to meet up?

Pietro: Well if your sure you're alright... Come to my clinic when you're available.

Silva: K, see you in a bit.

I hung up my scroll and made my way to Mantle.

Rory POV

I feel absolutely giddy at the bet Silva just proposed and he easily agreed to my terms which gives me time to tip the scales heavily in my favor. However, I need him to come at me with everything he has because I do not want to leave any room for doubt when I conquer him in our upcoming fight. I know beating him is a tall order after all he managed to take down a Grimm of myth, the Jotunn plus Grandfather and Old Wolf.

First things first calling in some favors starting with Arthur Wattz his Atlesian Paladin project that he is working on for Ironwood's challenge of the next thing of kingdom defense. I help fund his project because it seemed the most practical choice because his Paladins can be piloted or automated and they can be massed produced against the larger variety of Grimm like the Megoliath native to Solitas.

Plus I need to pick somewhere where I can use my Semblance to my full advantage and set up turrets and landmines against him. Well, another plus today is the fact he clearly liked my costume even if he didn't say anything and now I have a lot of work ahead of me this week. Watch out Silva because I am going to win no matter what and make you mine and mine alone.

Silva POV

As I stood in front of Pietro's clinic I think back to Rory's nurse costume and had to admit that she looked damn sexy in it. I was really tempted to break my promise to Melanie and Miltia about saving my first time for them and see how far I could go with Rory before she tells me to stop or make me promise to be only her man. I wonder just what Pietro wants and knock on the door.

When the door I was pleasantly surprised at who answered the door.

???: Salutations, are you the guest father is waiting for?

I couldn't help but smile that the one in front of me is Penny Polendina in her original appearance from the show. I commented to her revealing I know what she is.

Silva: So you are the project, Pietro has been working, huh. Impressive work, and to answer your question yes I'm the guest he is waiting for.

Penny looked at me in alarm and let me in none the less. I saw Pietro and said to him.

Silva: I'm guessing you called me here to meet your cute daughter here.

Pietro just smiled and told me.

Pietro: Yes, and I overheard you talking to her... How did you figure it out so quickly if you don't mind me asking?

Silva: I have a semblance that works kind of like sonar but more detailed and I noticed that she is mostly metal with no organic parts with it.

Pietro: Is there a semblance you don't have a copy of Silva?

Pietro had a wry smile on his face then introduced Penny to me.

Pietro: Allow me to formally introduce my daughter Penny Polendina she is as you surmised she is the project I have been working on for James's challenge for the next step in kingdom defense.

I looked at her and said.

Silva: It's nice to meet you, Penny.

I extended my hand to her to shake it but she just looked me confused and I glanced at Pietro then gestured him to explain a handshake to her.

Pietro: Penny, look at your database for handshakes.

Penny's eyes lit up a little then went.

Penny: Oh, okay.

Penny grabbed my hand and started to shake it a little too excitedly. This continued for a whole minute until I looked Pietro for help and he was just smiling at his daughter's antics. I sighed and told Penny.

Silva: Penny can you let go my arms is getting tired from all the shaking.

Penny: Oh, okay then.

She let go and I asked her.

Silva: Is there anything you like to do Penny? If that is alright with you Pietro?

Penny looked lost in thought right now and Pietro answered.

Pietro: Certainly it is alright Silva, do you have anything in mind particularly?

Silva: Well, if you have already shown her around Mantle I was thinking of taking her to Argus with my Semblance and introducing her to my girlfriend to help get her first female friend if that is good with you.

Pietro gave me a wide smile and said happily.

Pietro: That sounds wonderful Silva, thank you.

I'm doing this to introduce Pyrrha to Penny in order to throw a monkey wrench in Cinder's plan early on for the Vytal Festival. I opened a portal to Pyrrha in front of Pietro and he then said.

Pietro: Silva, mind if I come along? I would like a change of scenery after being cooped up in my lab for so long.

Silva: Sure but leave a note explaining where you are so your sudden disappearance doesn't cause a panic.

Pietro grabbed some paper and took out a pen then started writing. After a little over a minute, he taped the note on his chair and said.

Pietro: Well what are we waiting for, I hear Argus is lovely this time of year.
