Ruby Time Manipulator

By: FunahoMisaki

(A/N: I own nothing and what if Ruby had a second semblance? Not a phantom semblance or anything like that…no she had an Age/Time manipulation semblance. She is able to manipulate the age of things and people around her by either fast forwarding or rewinding their time….this drains her however so she only uses it on…herself or as a last resort. AU OOC some Femslash some bashing)

"Ruby Rose…you have silver eyes." Ozpin of Beacon Academy said looking at the little girl in the too large black and red dress, and the way too large red cloak, who was sitting in the metal chair swinging her tiny legs back and forth as she looked at him curiously.

"Yep. Dad says that I get it from mama." Ruby said nodding her head while Glynda was in the background trying her hardest not to let her motherly instincts take over in the face of such an adorable and small child.

"You are quite strong for a five or six year old, and skilled as well." Ozpin said making Ruby beam at him, hiding her internal giggling since he was way off about her age…but she wasn't going to tell them that. Not yet at least.

"Thank you! Uncle Qrow taught me how to use a scythe and then I made my own sweetheart, Crescent Rose!" Ruby said smiling brightly while Ozpin slid the plate of cookies forward a bit.

"Go ahead and eat some if you want to little one. It wouldn't do to have you starve now would it?" Ozpin asked seeing Ruby's eyes dart to the plate of cookies and then back to him almost impossibly fast.

"Don't you and Miss Goodwitch want any?" Ruby asked tilting her head to the side a tiny bit as she looked up at the two adults who smiled at her and shook their heads.

"No thank you Ruby, we're fine right now. Enjoy them." Glynda said smiling softly at the girl who looked a bit confused but nodded and scarfed down thirty cookies in ten seconds, making both adults look shocked.

"Well you were quite hungry. Would you like some more?" Ozpin asked looking at the girl who smiled at him and shook her head.

"No thank you! Dad would get really mad if I spoiled supper with cookies again!" Ruby said brightly and making the two smile slightly at her.

"It's quite a shame you're so young Ruby. If you were at least fifteen years old I'd accept you into Beacon because of your skills and potential." Ozpin said sighing as he looked at the young girl who smiled up at him mischievously.

"Wanna know a secret Headmaster?" Ruby asked her childish voice suddenly sounding much more serious and yet still just a bit mischievous.

"Sure Ruby. What's the secret?" Ozpin asked smiling indulgently at the girl who looked around the room and grinned widely at the two.

"I never told you my age." Ruby said while Ozpin was sipping from his coffee cup.

"And?" Glynda asked confused as she looked at the girl who grinned as she suddenly grew, and grew, and grew.

"Would you be more inclined to accept me into Beacon if I looked like this?" Ruby's voice was a bit deeper, more adult like as Ozpin's eyes shot open and did a spit take that Ruby had to duck under.

Coughing up a lung Ozpin stared wide eyed at Ruby while hearing Glynda's scroll hit the ground behind him. Instead of a tiny five or six year old girl in a too big dress and far too big cloak, he was now looking at a young woman of about five foot six that was around nineteen or twenty years old in a red and black corset that was a bit too small on her and a perfectly sized cloak.

"Secret is…Age isn't a concern for me. Need me to be five years old? No problem. Need me to be twenty three? No problem. Need me to be my actual age of fifteen? Not a problem." Ruby said grinning at the looks of disbelief on the two teachers faces as they stared at her.

"You see I have two semblances. Speed, and a version of time manipulation. I'm able to age myself, things, people, and Grimm around me both up and down. Make them older and younger…however that's incredibly draining, knocks me out after I'm done for any version of me under the age of seventeen at least. I mainly just use it on myself and manipulate my own age. I prefer to remain as a little kid however. It throws people off and makes them under estimate me more." Ruby said while the two finally managed to regain their composure, Glynda picking up her scroll from the floor and Ozpin taking a shaky sip of his coffee mug.

"I…see…"Ozpin finally said as he looked at the girl who grinned at him as she reverted to her five year old state and gave a small yawn that had Glynda biting her lip. Despite knowing that the girl could change age at will now, she was still adorable as a small child and Glynda's motherly instincts were coming out full force around her…or would be if she weren't keeping them in check.

"Besides the reactions when they see me wielding Crescent Rose as a five year old are epic. I mean did you see the look on Torchwick and his goons faces?! That was priceless!" Ruby said snickering while Glynda gave a small snicker as well, the girl wasn't wrong.

"Welcome to Beacon Ruby. Now…how do you feel about helping me prank your classmates and fellow teachers?" Ozpin asked grinning slightly as a thought struck him and making Ruby blink before grinning as well.

"I'm all ears." Ruby said eagerly looking forward to the prank while Glynda looked exasperated but amused.

"Glynda do you want to help?" Ozpin asked making his deputy smirk slightly.

"Of course." Glynda said, it had been a while since she had pranked anyone after all.

"Good…now here's what we're going to do." Ozpin said causing the two women to lean in as he whispered the plan to them.

After he was done Ruby burst out laughing while Glynda looked torn between amused and disproving, but finally amusement won out in the end. Ruby's next sentences had Ozpin grinning and Glynda shaking her head fondly.

"I can even talk my big sister into playing along! This will be awesome!"
