Chapter Text
Rouge the bat, famous treasure hunter and the owner of Club Rouge in Babylon where she also lived, but the whole club was a facade to hide all the jewels she stole in a cellar below the club, even though she found treasures and relics it was a very demanding job for what she gave, besides she lacked the adventure beyond reading an old map full of riddles that a five year old could solve not to mention how badly some clues or locations were described which lengthened her searches and was very frustrating.
Besides there was no legal way to get all the jewels in the world, that was her greatest aspiration, her purpose that she set out to achieve, although she did not seek to have in her possession cheap jewels no, she wanted real jewels, the strangest, the most difficult to find, the most valuable, because what value would a jewel that can have all over the world? This led her to great adventures around the world stealing strange gems and even some that were not even known what they were, it was not until she stopped at the club that she realized how lonely she was, everyone came in groups or joined with someone who was alone anyway, to be honest, no secrets, she could never find a friend who could afford to tell her everything, her life as a thief was a big obstacle, plus a lot of her time was going into maintaining the club and planning her next robberies, even if she did afford to have a friend she couldn't spend much time with him. ..
Rouge walked away from the club part and went back to his apartment, he decided to set it up in the club for comfort, it was a rather luxurious room, with a giant closet full of designer clothes and beautiful dresses, a giant TV in front of his bed and a dresser full of expensive and top of the line cosmetics.
Rouge just lay down on the bed and turned on the TV, an animated series, switch, stand up comedy, switch, an interview with a star no one knows who he is, switch, cooking channel, switch, tanzanite show of an unusual color, cam- Wait!", Rouge turned up the volume on the TV.
"The strange jewel will be put on display for 3 days at the Emerald Town museum, so come quickly-" rouge turned off the TV stupefied, a tanzanite.... One of the rarest jewels in the world, and they found one of an unusual color? HOLY SHI-
...
He was Miles Prower and he likes mechanics, that's the only thing he knew about himself, he didn't know how old he was or who his parents were, he didn't even know where he was from, he only remembers himself trying to survive, wandering from place to place all alone, Until he found Westside Island where there was a village where the village chief welcomed him with open arms, he showed him the village without being aware of the looks of fear and disgust in the villagers, all looking at the same point, their tails, Tails tried to ignore the strange looks and tried to pay full attention to the village chief, At the end of showing him the whole village he took him to the only free house they had since no family was willing to take him in, the chief assumed it was because almost all the villagers had around 2 or 3 children, but Tails could see it, the same eyes in all the families, they were of pure disgust when they looked at him, Tails kept silent about it since he did not know how the chief was going to react to this situation, the chief continued the tour and said he was going to take him to the only house available in the village.
The house was not in good condition at all, it looked like it was going to fall apart at any second, the village chief was not sure about giving this practically ruined house to a boy who will live alone but Tails managed to convince him, he gave him some money to buy supplies, which he did not know if he was going to use because of the looks that even the merchants gave him but he did not want to reject their kindness so he accepted it, at first he came to see him from time to time while Tails was repairing the house to see how it was, but as the days went by the visits became less frequent, to the point where they stopped, then the bully's arrived, destroying anything he invented to try to help the village chief and repay him for his kindness, but they always destroyed him, no matter how much he begged, cried or ran, he always ended up the same, with the remains of his inventions on the ground and him swallowing all emotion to avoid more trouble.
He hated him, he hated those kids with every ounce of his being, he hated this stupid village, he hated the stupid tribal chief who never noticed the looks and the opinion of the people about him, Tails squeezed hard the useless remains of his last invention after ANOTHER attack of those STUPID IDIOTS, Tails squeezed harder, the metal fragments began to pierce through his gloves starting to pierce his hands but he didn't care and kept squeezing, the pain helped him to calm all his emotions and keep acting logically, he knew that if he defended himself from those kids it would only give them the perfect excuse to kick him out of here and he didn't want that because....
Why did I want to stay here?
If he remembers well it was because of the kindness of the village chief and his genuine determination to help him, but he didn't even visit him anymore, months have passed since his last visit and he didn't tell him anything, not even a simple letter or a notice, they just abandoned him.... Again.
The thought left him with a strange feeling, shaking his head of decided he grabbed his rusty toolbox and walked out of his home towards the Westside harbor, he had built and hidden a canoe, the coast wasn't that far anyway it was only a few miles away from the nearest continent, he could fly there but if he wanted to start over he would have to go and arrive as a normal mobian, besides if anyone saw his 2 tails he wouldn't know what was going to happen, on the way he is going to try to make them look like one.
Maybe they will all change for the better when he gets out of here....
