Mysterious ways and the path of Frank

"Hey, Big Mama the usual!" Exu sits down at a table.

This place is filled with the criminals of Vale whether they be pretty thieves gangsters mercenaries or assassins. It's a den of snakes. Qrow is in the very back watching his daughter with tears coming out of his eyes.

"Apple Pie coming right up!" Big Mama goes into the back and heats up the apple pie and comes back out and serves the apple pie. Exu doesn't bother using utensils and starts devouring the apple pie with her hands.

"Seconds!" Exu smiles just like the Exu from Arknights.

"HAHAHAHA! Your smile is my salvation Exusiai." Big Mama goes in the back to get another big slice of apple pie.

'Truly that child is my salvation... She pays for a simple apple pie with hundreds of thousands of Lien. I'm out of debt my illness is cured and the only request she has is a lifetime supply of Apple Pie. She looks so much like my Daughter...' Big Mama starts to remember her daughter Miya Crimson and sniffles and wipes her tears. If she knew who Exusiai really was she would grab Exu and never let go. Life truly works in mysterious ways.

"This is a big one! I got more waiting for ya Exusiai" Big Mama smiles at Exu who starts stuffing her face.

"MMHPHHM" Exu tries talking and eating at the same time.

"HAHAHA! Slow down it's not going anywhere!" Big Mama goes to take more orders.

To Exu these gangsters of Vale are her family. Big Mama is like her Grandma. Big Papa is like her grandpa. And the whole Dark Light Mafia is like her family. Exu can be herself here. Despite living in the darkness of this world the same old Exu is still there... Dark Exusiai may not have her memories of when she was in Penguin Logistics but she is still here. The soul of Exu from Penguin Logistics combined with this world's life experiences has turned her into this.

'So her favorite food is apple pie...' Qrow starts to think about making an apple pie and giving it to Exusiai before confessing that he is her father. Will this work or will it backfire?

~Click~ "You've been eyeing my Adoptive Granddaughter this entire time. Men take this creep in the back for a 'talk'..." Big Papa snuck up on Qrow which is not an easy feat.

'shit...' Qrow starts thinking about how to get out of this situation and comes up with nothing so he does the only thing he can...

~Shatter~ Qrow jumps through the window shattering it in the process and runs away while sporting new bullet wounds this time just after he recovered from the last ones he got from Exusiai. What an unlucky man.

"Don't come back!" Big Papa fires more rounds at the fleeing Qrow.

Exusiai lifts an eyebrow at the birdman. "It's fine we will get him next time little Exusiai" Big Papa comes over and pats Exu's head.

"Thanks, big Papa! That guy is really persistent!" Big Mama comes over with more apple pie and Exu starts devouring it.

"You can call my grandpa you know?" Big Papa gives a kind grandfatherly smile.

"But you haven't actually adopted me... It feels weird to call you Grandpa when I'm not in the family register." Exu's hair darkens her expression. Exu exudes a gloomy vibe.

"Bah! Who cares about that!? If I say you're my granddaughter then you are my Granddaughter and anyone who says otherwise gets a cap in their ass!" Big Papa goes back to sitting on 'his' Chair and drinks his whiskey.

Exu puts a one hundred thousand lien chip on the table and walks away while putting her mask and hood on.

'The way of the assassin is very difficult for me... And yet it is my only path...' Deep down this Dark Exu is a kind-hearted and misunderstood girl. She hides her true self behind a facade of ruthlessness Exu looks up at the sky that is raining with tears in her eyes The rain falls on her mask wetting it she cries tears of sorrow but the rain masks the tears.

"Please! I have a wife and daughter! I'll do anything but please spare me! You can have all my Lien!" Exu's attention is drawn to the sound of a classic mugging but decides to do nothing.

~Boom~ The mugger shoots the man and takes the lien off his corpse. Exu all the while watches this with a gloomy expression behind her mask. She walks away as she has seen such things too many times.

'No... Fuck this shit!' Exu turns around and uses her marksman carbine and makes the mugger's head pop like a balloon.

'That felt great... I'm putting these types of pieces of shit down forever!' Exu now embarks on the path of a certain Anti-Hero marvel fans love and hate.

(Are you going to go all Punisher on every thug in the city?) Jason inside the pocket asks.

'Don't know what Punisher is but Yeah I think I need a change of pace... I always thought I took care of the root of the problem by killing corrupt officials... Now I realize that's not enough... Sure I took out the head but the limbs are rotten! I might as well act as the cauterizing blade to these filthy limbs namely the darkness in Vale!' Exu grits her teeth.

There is nothing and no one in Exu's heart. For as long as she has nothing within her empty heart she will remain in the darkness. Jason is a helpful tool in Exu's eyes she respects him and listens to his opinions but nothing more. The Dark Light Mafia feels like family but isn't actually family so she pushes them away from her heart.

Exusiai arrives at Beacon with her nullified presence and tours the place on her own looking at all the things she can't have. She sees all the happy and laughing people the same age as herself she leaves not willing to suffer a second longer in this place.
