I really do wish I owned RWBY, but that sadly isn't the case.
"Look, we have Weiss Schnee with us, and we're trying to get her home safely."
The Nubuck guards paused slightly. "Approach!"
The ex-heiress took a few steps forward to the gates and stood still, averting her eyes from the possibly insane guards.
"Very well. You may speak with our commanding officer!"
"We will fetch her at once!"
The two guards spun around and began prancing back to the large base behind them, leaving the heroes of Remnant confused and almost curious.
Blake grimaced. "They were… kind of-"
"Super weird?" Ruby cut in. "Uh, yeah."
"Hmmm…"
Everyone turned around to see Maria Calavera with a concerned face.
"What's wrong?" Oscar asked.
"Well, I… may know this commanding officer…"
Ruby smiled. "That's good, isn't it? If she's your friend, then maybe she'd be more willing to help us!"
"I wouldn't exactly call us… friends…" Maria squinted through her eyes.
"Acquaintances?" Weiss asked.
"Not quite."
"Colleagues?" Blake suggested.
"Warmer."
"Enemies?" Yang added.
"That's the one!"
"Wait, what?" Oscar was downright shocked.
Maria chuckled a bit. "Oh yes. I come through here about once every ten years to get my eyes checked up in Atlas. You bring outside cashews on one flight, and suddenly you're placed on the additional screening list for life!"
Maria wasn't laughing anymore and had more of a scowl on her face.
"You've got to be kidding me," Qrow stated bitterly.
"Now, now, let's not give up hope yet," Maria began, smiling. "Maybe she's dead!"
Suddenly, the gates flung open and the Nubuck guards returned.
"Introducing!"
"Special operative!"
"Win-"
"Oh would you scoundrels shut up and move out of the way!"
Remnant's heroes stopped suddenly, barely recognizing the voice. The guards quickly moved out of the way and saw a beautiful, regal, white-haired woman in an elite Atlas uniform.
Winter Schnee.
"I need to see if this… is…" Winter's angry walking skidded to a halt as she saw a familiar face in front of her.
"… Weiss?"
The younger Schnee sister still had eyes wide and a dropped jaw, however tears were quickly filling icy blue. She hadn't seen her sister in months.
The rest of team RWBY was stunned as well, and so was Qrow. He definitely did not expect to see Ice Queen in Argus. Maybe his luck was starting to turn on him.
She didn't know what overcame her. She didn't know if it was overwhelming emotion but all she knew was that the rest of the world seemed to disappear. Winter let out an all out sprint and brought her arms around her sister in a crushing hug. Weiss immediately began to bawl loudly. The younger Schnee's knees gave out and they both slid into the snow.
"Weiss…" Winter whispered. Everyone could hear the emotion in her voice. "I was so worried."
Weiss couldn't even reply as all she could manage was more broken sobs. However, her reply was clear when she buried her face in her sister's shoulder, clinging to her clothes tightly.
Everyone around immediately began tearing up. Ruby smiled the brightest smile, wiping a tear from her eye. Blake watching in disbelief and in empathy as she saw loved ones reunite. Yang was beaming, happy things turned out better than it could have. Oscar was more confused than anyone, not even knowing Weiss had an older sister. Maria was quiet, understanding of the situation, but wishing their journey would just move on already. The remaining team JNPR met their friends at the gates, smiling.
Qrow was very curious. He had never seen Winter Schnee of all people run and tackle her sister to the ground in front of anyone. She was usually pristine and elegant, not wasting a single second of her time for emotional acknowledgement. Maybe her heart wasn't as cold as he thought.
The air was chilly, but all was quiet besides Weiss's emotional sobbing.
"Weiss… you really outta stop crying now," Winter said warmly.
"I-I-I c-c-c-can't W-Winter!" Weiss managed to chirp out between hiccups.
Winter sighed, closing her eyes. She always knew how to get her dearest sister to brighten up.
"Hush your cries… close your eyes…"
Everyone around the Schnee siblings were immediately shocked, hearing a soft singing voice from none other than Winter. Weiss's voice was as beautiful as an angel's, but Winter's… hers was that of a goddess.
"Stay with me…
Let's just dream… quietly… of what might be.
Calm your fear… I'll be near…
To you I'll cling"
Blake's hand immediately found Yang's and intertwined them.
"Rest my friend… time can mend
Many things"
You have to be there for your friend, even if they don't want your help.
"I don't know the answers
Tomorrow's still unknown
But I can make this promise
You won't be alone…"
Oscar put a reassuring hand on Jaune's shoulder, smiling in hopes to finally earn the trust from the other hunter. Jaune smiled in return. Thankful.
"I don't know where we should go
Just feeling farther from our goal"
Qrow let out a heavy sigh, but Ruby quickly grabbed his hand and squeezed it tight. Qrow squeezed back.
"I don't know what path we will be shown
But I know that when I'm with you I'm at home"
Nora leaned her head on Ren's shoulder and the pair locked hands.
"Yes, I know that when I'm with you I'm at home…"
Winter paused and noticed Weiss had calmed down. "Together?"
Winter smiled. "Together."
"I don't know where we should go
Just feeling farther from our goal
I don't know what path we will be shown
But I know that when I'm with you I'm at home
Yes, I know that when I'm with you I'm at home"
Winter planted a kiss on her sister's forehead.
"Yes I know that when I'm with you I'm at home."
