Here is my second attempt at writing a decent RWBY fic so please read and review and tell me what you guys (and gals-not sexist) think
RWBY pleasant
Chapter 1
Jason Scythe walked down the halls of the sanctuary, he was in one of the best moods people have seen him in since before Valkyrie left to put some distance between her and the family she felt she had almost destroyed, Melisa and Desmond Edgley missed their eldest daughter dearly and little Alice was looking more and more like Val with each passing day, Jason smiled a small sad smile, he and Val had been friends ever since he was brought over from England to help deal with Baron Vengeous
He walked off the plane his dual Gladius short swords hidden underneath his armored clothing, he had been asked by Mr Bliss to help a certain skeleton detective and his partner track down Baron Vengeous, as he made his way through customs he collected his bag containing his spare clothes and toiletries, he plucked them from the conveyor belt and made his way outside where he was met by Mr Bliss.
"I trust you have been informed of the situation?"
"Yes" Jason replied seeing no need to say anything else
"Very well, get in." without another word the two sorcerers got in the car. After an hour's drive they pulled up outside the Irish Sanctuary, he was escorted in by Bliss and brought into what seemed like the council room, after a minutes wait Thurid Guild walked in accompanied by the dynamic duo, Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain.
After that meeting he had accompanied them on their investigation and become a good friend to Val and a great headache for Skulduggery and he had become a permanent member of the little group even fighting with the Irish sanctuary in the war instigated by Ravel. Fucking idiot if you ask me thought Jason bitterly glad Ravel was dead.
Jason walked round the corner and stopped just before he impacted Skulduggery's chest.
"Ah you're here."
"Are you honestly surprised?" replied after a moment to get his balance under control
"pfft of course not, nothing surprises me" Jason just face palmed and sighed
"Your apparent awesomeness aside is Val back."
"Of course I'm back." Jason looked behind Skulduggery and there stood Val an ear to ear grin plastered on her face.
"VAL!" Jason practically screamed and immediately enveloped the poor girl in a bone crushing hug
"GYAH. PUT. ME. DOWN" she punctuated each word with a slap on the back, which Jason didn't feel through the armored hoodie Ghastly had once made him. Satisfied Jason released Val who wheezed in a ragged set of breaths.
"I've only just got back and already someone here is trying to kill me, maybe I should have stayed away" Jason rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Sorry Val, how was living in the desert in America?" he said hoping to change the subject
"Hot, dusty exactly the kind of things you'd expect the desert to be." Jason pinched the bridge of his nose
"Okay I walked into that one, what I meant was how was it in terms of what you did and what happened." Val took the next few minutes explaining how she got by on the farm in America and how she had a boy from the local town fetch her the daily necessities then she told him about the pair of criminals that came after her and how she fought them off, explaining everything to the poor mortal lad and Skulduggery coming to collect her.
"I bet the poor lad was scared shitless when he found out." He got a slap on the back of the head curtsey of Skulduggery
"OW… what was that for?" Jason asked rubbing his head while Valkyrie snickered at her friend's misfortune
"Language Jason"
"Yes mum." If Val laughed any harder Jason swore she would literally bust a rib, finally getting her giggling under control Val took in a deep shaky breath
"Ahh It's good to see something's never change."
"Some do however" the group turned around to see China Sorrows approaching them she was stunning in an elegant white dress that stretched down to her legs and hugged her figure.
"China, going somewhere at this hour?" Jason asked an eyebrow raised and the faintest of blushes on his face, Val gained a small evil smile on her face, oh I'm going to enjoy teasing him.
"Unfortunately yes I've been asked to attend a meeting over dinner with some of the other Grand mages to discuss the upcoming festival to celebrate the unification of the worlds sanctuaries under one banner." Jason remembered that, after the war all the sanctuaries of the world felt in secure so in a bold move they all decided to merge to become one giant sanctuary run by a council made up of 10 grand mages elected each year, somehow China seemed to always to get voted in, each sanctuary kept domain over their respective country but all sanctuaries were now multi-national.
"When did this happen?" asked a confused Val
"While you were away, but enough about politics, I believe there is a certain family that wants to see you" Val was about to say something before she was tackled to the ground by a blur of white.
"STEPHANIE" screamed little Alice as she hugged tightly on to her older sister, the two were then enveloped in a hug by their parents, Melisa and Desmond.
"Steph, it's so good to see you" Melisa practically sobbed into her daughters shoulder.
"Lungs… being… crushed… need… air" choked out a flustered Valkyrie, releasing their family member the three edgleys stepped back allowing Val to fall flat on her face.
"I can breathe" she sighed in relief causing everyone to laugh at her.
Jason stood outside under a moonlit sky, it was peaceful out here, the same couldn't be said for inside the Edgley house, who knew a drunken Valkyrie would be such a party girl. He blushed slightly remembering her flirtatious attitude towards him during her drunken state, after which Skulduggery had stopped her from drinking any alcohol, that still didn't stop her from grabbing a pie from the table and slamming it into Fletchers hair, the screams of shock and outrage followed by the chase that Fletcher gave Val had everyone in stitches and Tanith had recorded the whole thing.
"Jason you out here" came the familiar voice, he turned his icy blue eyes to see Val walking towards him, less of a sway in her step, At least she's sober now… soberish
"Hi Val what you doing out here."
"Just wanted some fresh air is all" she looked to her feet and Jason realized something was bugging her.
"Val what's up?"
"Umm, well you see... umm"
"Yes?" she blushed madly and looked at Jason for the first time
"We've been friends for a while now"
"Yeeess?"
"Well a while ago I may have startedlikingyouasmorehtanafriend" Jason gained a confused expression before he managed to decipher what she said.
"Do you now?" Val looked at her feet, what am I thinking, have I just ruined our friendship. Jason cupped her face lifted it to face him, and then kissed her on the lips when he pulled away he finally spoke.
"And here I was wondering how i would ask you out." she smiled brightly until a certain blonde ruined it.
"Awww so cute" Val and Jason turned so fast it's a wonder they didn't get whiplash. Tanith stood in the door way her phone out recording the whole thing, Val went red in the face and was about to say something colourful to Tantih when Tanith's expression became worried, she pointed and shouted.
"BEHIND YOU!" Jason and val spun around in time to see a figure in black lunge at them, suddenly everything went white and then nothing.
Tanith watched the figure lunge at her two friends then in a flash of white the three of them disappeared, she raced back into the house to tell Skulduggery.
EDIT: I've changed the final scene slightly so it flows better.
Well that's a wrap, next chapter we get to the RWBY universe, if you are wondering about Jason (what he looks like and his discipline and that sought of stuff) don't worry everything will be revealed in time.
Jason: I hope so I don't like the idea of being kept in the dark about my own appearance
Me: aw quite your whining
