Inside the Men of Letter's Bunker, the War Room to be exact Cas and Dean were searching for a case while Sam busied himself with untouched inventory. It was here he stumbled across files labelled 'Keys', not the first-time considering Charlie's trip to Oz, however this one made the Winchester curious. Most of the unknown keys had been destroyed due to owning the power to open a door to another world definitely fell under the category of 'too dangerous', Sam continued his search to see whatever keys were maintained, he was lucky he found one labelled 'Remnant'. Rushing back to Cas and Dean the youngest Winchester questioned the Angel if he knew of such a place, when nothing was acknowledged or confirmed the trio landed themselves into a debate which was eventually settled to find out what Remnant was. Reading themselves for worst-case scenario included arming themselves up to their teeth the trio prepared to unlock the door to Remnant.

The door opened allowing Team Free Will to stumble into a large deserted building. For Sam and Dean, it brought back vague memories of behind back at an academy.

"Hello?!" Dean shouted however no-one responded.

Ten minutes the trio had spent wandering and exploring did the trio come across a group of kids, at best they were early to mid-teenagers and one adult. The smallest girl who dawned black and red hair noticed them first "Hello" in a squeaking, innocent tone.

"...Hi" Dean replied

The lanky adult immediately bombarded questions; "Who are you? What are you doing here? How did you get here? Why are you here?"

"Whoa, easy there, quick-draw. I'm Dean Winchester, this is my brother, Sam and our friend Castiel" The eldest Winchester replied. Sam responded with a quick "Hi" while Castiel performed the ever-formal "Hello" Dean cleared his throat to regain the attention "We're Legacies from the Men of Letters, we came through a door using a key that Sam found"

Qrow dimly remembered Ozpin mentioning them, the fact they weren't from this world which sky-rocketed his guard despite the ideal trust Ozpin stated.

"OK. My name's Qrow" Qrow smoothly replied to Dean "I've heard of you people before but I'm here on business. It would be best for you all to wait outside 'til I've spoken to Lionheart, he's the Headmaster of this Academy, I'll meet you at in the hall when I'm done"

Dean could sense there was no point of arguing and nodded, allowing Sam and Cas to leave first from the door Qrow's group had taken before he left the room in case someone did some funny business, but nothing happened.

The door led to the main entrance which was, of course, a massive hall. The team waited for 'Qrow' to finish his business with whoever this 'Ozpin' was /'Damn, these names are just bizarre'/ Dean thought to himself. The heard screaming and then shouting shortly followed after but for some reason all three managed to brush it off. Something about this place made it seem that was a common occurrence.

Sam took notice of the statue under the stairs, 'It looks important ' Sam thought to himself while Cas and Dean made idle - quietened - conversations between them.

It was a while until Qrow submerged from Loinheart's office. Sam had inspected every inch of the statue. Before Qrow and the teens returned to the hall the oldest of the group requested they go back to the house as he needed a drink. When they got back to the halls the teens made a show of heading home.

Qrow made a direct line for Dean, Sam and Castiel. "Come on, I need a drink, we can talk at the bar" He let out a loud sigh to finish his sentence.

The four made the short trip to the bar which was surprisingly empty. Qrow started the conversation "So, what's the Men of Letter's. I've heard stories, never been told the same thing twice"

"We're Hunters, we kill all things demonic or supernatural like vampires, werewolves and djinn" Sam replied

"So, you're all Huntsmen" Qrow concluded, unphased

"Yeah, but Cas here's an Angel" Dean complimented literally.

Qrow scoffed a laugh.

"What's so funny?" Cas finally spoke up, unamused.

Whether it was Cas' question of his gravelly voice that caught Qrow off-guard made the Huntsman laugh harder which was unappreciated by all of Team Free Will.

A kid, he couldn't have been older than twelve awkwardly came in through the door. Qrow paused his laughter to stare at the dark-haired kid "I don't think they let kids in here, Pipsqueak"

The kid momentarily spoke to himself "Shut up, I'm getting there" Everyone gave him a bizarre expression for that. The kid proceeded to stare Qrow right in the eye "Um... I'm supposed to tell you... 'I'd like my cane back'" Qrow smiled back at the kid, which just confused the outside trio.

Qrow proceeded to toss over the handle of the collapsed cane "It's good to see you again, Oz. This is Sam and Dean Winchester; their friend is an Angel called Castiel" Qrow stalked forward to curve his body to reach Ozpin's ear "Men of Letter's"

"Really? Well, it's bee many years since I've seen one of your ranks, why has it been so long?" Ozpin inquired.

"Back in the 1950's the American distribution of the Men of Letters were all slaughtered by a Knight of Hell named Abaddon. We're Legacies of the original Men of Letters. I found a key that opened a door into your world, we decided to have a look" Sam explained thoroughly.

"I'm sorry to hear that. I have a few friends in their ranks but I'm glad you are continuing their work. If you don't mind me asking who did defeat them?" Ozpin questioned Sam.

"Well like I said she was a Knight of Hell, one of the most powerful supernatural beings out there. She hid herself, pretending to be one of the Woman of Letters until she murdered them all. We only found out because out Grandfather travelled forwards in time and told us about it... he's gone through too" Sam replied.

Qrow leaned in looking towards Ozpin "We should probably go back to the house, don't want Ruby to come looking for me thinking I'm drunk"

Ozpin nodded and relented control back his current vessel who finally spoke up in his regular voice "My name's Oscar by the way, I'm not Pipsqueak"

Qrow just smiled through the kid, gulped down another couple drinks and ordered everyone to follow him on his unsteady feet. He would leave it to Oscar/Ozpin to answer everyone else's questions later.

The five of them walked towards the house Qrow had mentioned, it was clear Qrow was inebriated at this point. Oscar knocked on the door with Sam, Dean and Castiel behind him. A blond teen wearing armour on his chest answered the door "Can I help you?"

"Um... yeah. Is Ruby here?" Oscar responded

His answer came in the show of a dark-haired boy with a single pink strip and a shorter red-head who tensed at the mention of the name "Why?" The red-headed girl asked in a harsh tone.

Oscar wanted to reply however his nerves kicked back in and could only peter out a "Well..."

Qrow stumbled up towards the door, his movements drunk and sloppy, he grabbed Oscar by the shoulders proclaiming happily "I found him!" He laughed as he continued to stagger into the house

"I think Ruby's uncle could use some help, that's why I was looking for her" Oscar chose to speak again.

Qrow decided the couch would be suitable for now, falling backwards onto the cushions was a great idea.

Team Free Will had little to say due to huge amounts of confusion and shock. Dean decided to scan the room and the people within it, he was sure Cas was doing the same while Sam was trying not to look as intimidating, even in this world he practically toward over everyone, he gave the few who looked at him a softer, friendlier smile.

The girl with red and black hair returned, stomping her way inside the living room "What is going on here? Can't a girl read her comics in peace?!"

Qrow proceeded to burp and chuckle at it, this caught the newcomer's attention, "Uncle Qrow, did you get drunk again?"

"Maybe I did, Ruby"

'So, this is Ruby' Oscar and Dean thought in sync with each other. Oscar approached Ruby with caution to blurt out "Oh! You have silver eyes"

Ruby looked at him, a touch surprised, 'That was the first thing Ozpin mentioned to me' Ruby reminisced to herself before asking "Who... are you?"

Qrow chuckled loudly from the couch

Oscar replied "Uh... Well, my name's Oscar Pine

"Wait for it..." Qrow interjected, annoying his niece.

"But you probably know me as Professor Ozpin" Oscar continued.

Everyone bar Qrow and Team Free Will gasped in shock, confusion written all over their faces, Ozpin wasn't a dark-haired child, he was an adult with glasses and white hair... Right?

Qrow interrupted the silence with an "I did it!" while punching the air, this of course shoved all balance out the window as he greeted the floor ever so kindly with his face.
