Welcome to Aloehisja's Oneshots Galore. I had so many ideas that I had to put them down into one shots for you to see. Depending on if you guys like it or not, they may turn into fill stories.

I'm the bad guy

Sitting on a rooftop looking over the city of Vale, Jaune sighed at the mess he'd gotten into. Everything happened for a reason, and he thinks his decent into this clusterfuck went downhill when he was betrayed. Taking a drag from his cigarette, he sighed a stream out as he remembered that day where things went downhill.

Little Jaune was abandoned on the street corner in the streets of Vale by his own father three months ago. At the age of eight, Jaune didn't show any promises of being a great warrior. Feeling disappointed, his old man thought to throw him out on the streets far away from home in another continent to fend for himself.

Desperate and not wanting to die, the little blonde boy did what he could to survive. He begged and rummaged for whatever he could get his hands on and made sure no one ever took it out of his hands. Ten one day he ran into the baddest man to ever walk the streets of Vale: Roman Torchwick.

Out of all the shoes Jaune had to grovel and beg to, he had to go and beg to the nastiest criminal around. The guy gave him a half eaten apple, but it wasn't for free.

"That's two million Lien kid." The orange haired man said after Jaune took the first bite of the freshest thing he'd had all year. "Looking you over, I don't see a wallet or anything worth that much. Looks like you're going to be working that apple off."

Feeling a firm hand on his shoulder and the apple being pulled from his hands, Jaune watched as Roman threw it away and gave him a whole apple this time.

"Now why don't you come with Uncle Roman and tell me all about you." The criminal said while guiding Jaune down the streets.

That was when Jaune was pulled into Roman's occupation. A master criminal he may be, but even a large man had trouble fitting into small cracks only kids could get into. Sure he had a tiny girl helping out, but her hands were too tiny to lift up anything bigger than her.

As time went on, stealing and mugging became second nature to him until he was looting houses on his own. He was still in debt to the master criminal, so half of what he got was split. It didn't matter though. That just meant Jaune had to make sure what he got was worth a lot more even when split.

After so many heists, he forgot he even was an Arc. It didn't matter though since he thrown away by them so easily. He had a new crowd to run with anyways. And then came his rebirth into the world.

"From this day on you're no longer an Arc." Roman said while looking down at the broken boy before him. What once was a street urchin licking at his boots stood a partner in crime reliable next to Neo. "But you're not good enough to be a Torchwick either. Know what? You'll just be a Wick. Jaune Wick, rolls off the tongue. Ladies'll love that."

Jaune Wick was born into the world of stealing and mugging. His hands were dirty with blood and he didn't care whose it was. It didn't matter because he was the shadow Roman had under his shadow that no one knew about. He was professional, committed, and everything needed to get the job done. Anything he did was Roman's work - that's how the media saw it and that's how they wanted it.

They were the underground deities of Vale. Roman was the statue whose feet the criminals bowed to with Neo being the sword that cut those in front to make an example. And what was Jaune? He was the devil they didn't know existed until he came to collect – the boogeyman people refused to believe existed. But what were deities when put before non-believers.

Red was the first thing Jaune saw as a woman entered the office. Behind her, two lackies stood trying to look intimidating before Roman and Neo. Jaune's never shared this with many people but he absolutely despised the color red. It was the only color he remembered the night his dad abandoned him and left with his lights leaving a red streak.

"Hello Roman. I'm here with an offer you can't refuse." The woman said with voice smooth as silk. Looking over Roman and Neo, her eyes trailed to the spot where he was hiding. "And please. Tell your shadow to step out into the light."

That was enough to send signals through the three's heads. Motioning for Jaune to step out, the blonde did so while not taking his eyes off any of them.

"So this is Roman's shadow." The woman in red said while looking him over. "Quite the handsome one. With all the rumors going on, I was expecting someone …uglier."

That got a snort out of the gray haired boy in the back. Glaring at him, the two had a stare off to size each other up. Narrowing his eyes when he saw the small twitch in his legs, Jaune slowly moved his hand to his pocket.

"Enough." The woman said, getting her crony to settle down. "Mercury, apologize now. It's rude to laugh at others."

"…I'm sorry." Mercury said in defeat. Looking back at Jaune, he sneered seeing the faint smirk on his face.

"You have quite the entourage Roman." The woman said while looking at both Jaune and Neo. "You can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep."

"I always keep myself among good company." Roman preened jokingly while standing up. "After all, I only work with the best and I only hire the best."

"I can see that." She agreed, eyeing the two with a smirk. "Which is why I'd like to hire you as I've heard you're the best at what you do."

"And who is it, I'd be working for?" The business man said while tipping his hat.

"Cinder Fall." She said her name with fire dancing in her eyes.

That was a week ago, and here he was once more standing in the warehouse with Roman and Neo after another late night heist. This wasn't what they were when Cinder hired them. They stole cash, jewels, and whatever caught their eye. Now they were stealing dust and packing it away like rats in a warehouse! There was no profit from it.

"You've done an excellent job once again." The woman who held them by their throats said while sitting in a chair.

Getting up she stopped over to Neo and patted her head affectionately like a daughter. Glancing at Jaune, she then turned to Roman with a gleam in her eyes.

"Roman, is it true your shadow can infiltrate any place?" She asked, sashaying her way to look Jaune over.

Puffing on his cigar, he nodded with a mumbled yes.

"Good." She smiled, turning away to head back to her chair. "I have a special assignment for your shadow."

"What is it?" Roman asked, ready to put a charge for their service.

"I want him to infiltrate Beacon Academy."

Neo and Roman's eyes were on Jaune who was looking back at them with the same thought. 'What the fu-?'

AN: And that's my one shot idea for Criminal Jaune. I kept debating whether to let him be Jaune Torch or Jaune Wick, but the second one rolled off the tongue more. Despite the name, this Jaune is like a mix of Felix and Locus from RvB. It's an Arkos, but if you guys know me by now I don't make things straight forward on the romance or try to make things so cliché that you've read the same thing on other stories. It's an asshole Jaune leader of Cardin's team (now team JDST - Just) while Pyrrha is partners with Cardin with her leading team PWRN (Preen.)

Rated M for sex and violence.
