For far too long they thought of her as nothing more than a joke. To them, she was unworthy to be the heiress, unworthy of the Schnee name, and unworthy to carry on their legacy. Oh, how it infuriated her, to be treated no better than trash by her so-called family.

"I will make them pay," Doctor Weiss muttered darkly, her body protected by a robotic exoskeleton designed to resemble medieval armor, as she coordinated her robots as they built a giant missile. She couldn't stop herself from chuckling as she typed away at her computer, coding the bomb of hers so that it would go off exactly when she wanted it to. No one could stop her now.

"Stop right there, villain!"

"Egads!" Doctor Weiss swiveled in her chair, glaring at her unwanted guest. "What are you doing here, you foul dressed buffoon?!" she jumped from her seat, stretching her hand out in front of her.

"Ha ha ha! What a silly question, Doctor Weiss!" the girl laughed robotically, as if it were practiced in a mirror. The girl was in a black latex suit with a silver rose embellished on her chest along with a long, hooded red cape flowing behind her. Her black mask that covered the upper part of her face crinkled in amusement "I, the hero of justice, Crescent Rose~, has come to do her heroic duty of ceasing the villainy caused by you, the nefarious Doctor Weiss!"

"...You? A mere child?" Weiss whispered, looking at the girl with pure raw hatred. "You are a fool if you believe you can-"

"For I, Crescent Rose," the hero continued on with her monologue as if she hadn't heard Weiss's insult. "Am the protector of Vale! Mistral! Vacuo! ...Uh, Atlas, I think?" she paused, her face scrunching up beneath her mask. "...And Menagar- Menardsaray- Menenaga-" she spouted, her tongue twisting in on itself as she tried to pronounce what Doctor Weiss assumed to be Menagerie.

"A-And that last place, too!" she screamed, pointing her finger at Weiss. "I, Ruby Ro- Oof, I mean- Crescent Rose, shall defend all these countries and more from your villainous wrath!"

"..." Weiss said nothing as she glared at the wannabe superhero. "...You done yet?"

"...No," the hero looked down dejectedly. "But I forgot about the rest of what I was gonna say."

"Ugh," Weiss shook her head. The annoyance for the hero in front of her was rivaled only by the pity she felt for them. "I take it you're new to this?" she asked, earning a shy smile from Crescent Rose.

"Y-yeah, this is my first-week vigilanteeing about," she shrugged, eyeing her toes in embarrassment. "A-and when the other, more experienced heroes found out you were up to something, but they didn't want to swing by since uh…"

"...Since the giant cheese wheel incident," Weiss groaned, remembering how her last plot for revenge against her family went. "Those fools! Oh, so I make one, just one silly little idea, and now all of a sudden I'm not a credible threat?!" she screamed in anger.

"W-whoa there, no one said that you weren't-"

"How dare they insult me in this fashion?!" Crescent Rose's attempts at calming her went entirely ignored. "And who cares if the cheese wheel was silly?! It caused billions of lien in damages AND took out several heroes, most of which are still out of commission! Does that still sound silly to you?!" she glared up at Crescent Rose, whose body began to tremble. "Does it?! Does it sound silly to you?!"

"Calm down, please!" Crescent screamed, disappearing in a flurry of petals only to reappear in front of Weiss. "Doc, listen, no one's saying you're not a credible threat!"

"Good, because it'd be foolish to say I wasn't!"

"Professor Oobleck still has a shattered leg! He'll be out for months!"

"That's right! Months!" Weiss nodded along, her labored breathing becoming less intense.

"And don't even get me started on Captain Port," Crescent began with a smile, a chuckle starting to escape her lips. "He- he ate so much cheese he can't even walk! He has to roll everywhere!"

"Yeah, what was he even thinking?" Weiss smiled, shaking her head in disbelief. "Did that old fool really believe he could eat that entire thing?"

"Yeah, he's not all up there," Crescent chuckled, tapping herself on the head. "Hey, speaking of diabolically things, what's that?" Crescent Rose asked as she pointed at the missile Weiss's robots were building.

"Oh, it's a warhead," Weiss shrugged. "I'm going to aim it at my parents Christmas dinner, killing them and everyone else within a hundred mile radius-"

"WHAAAAAAAAT?!" Crescent's scream reverberated throughout the hideout, causing Weiss to clench her ears in pain.

"H-hey, keep it down, will you?! Some of us would like to keep their hearing-"

"Are you insane?!" Crescent Rose interrupted as she grabbed Weiss by the shoulders. "You can't just kill everyone because your parents are assholes! Th-that's wrong and inhumane!"

"I'm a villain, that's the point you...you…" Weiss trailed off, staring begrudgingly at the tears that were now streaming down Crescent Rose's eyes as she looked up to Doctor Weiss, silently pleading for the evil doctor to have a change of heart. They reminded her of Ein, a little corgi she so badly wanted to adopt as a child only to be denied due to her father's hatred of all things pure and good. Looking into Crescent Rose's eyes only deepened the hatred she felt for her family.

"Please," she whimpered, earning a groan from Doctor Weiss. It sounded so much like Ein's as he whimpered and cried as Weiss was dragged away by her arm from the puppy, never to see him again.

"...I guess I could just drain his bank account or something," she conceded, a gasp of shock emitting from Crescent's mouth.

"R-really?!" she smiled wide, tugging at Weiss's heart. Why did she have to have such a cute smile?!

"I-it's not as satisfying as just outright killing them," she muttered, remembering all the times she was beaten into obedience by her father. "B-but I suppose living in poverty ought to teach them a lesson or two-"

"Thank you thank you thank you!"

"Gah!" Weiss screamed as Crescent wrapped her arms around her waist and lifted her into the air, laughing as she twirled around with the doctor. "L-let go of me!"

"Hahaha!" Crescent ignored Weiss's orders, simply giggling like a child as she practically danced with Weiss all over her lair.

'Oh, I knew I should have ordered my bots to just kill her!' she thought darkly, doing her best to ignore the blush that threatened to overcome her, biting down on her lip to prevent herself from smiling at the dolt's actions.
