Chapter 1: Meltdown
The night was bright, as it always was in starling city. The streetlights and buildings, lighting up the night sky. He stood on the edge of a rooftop, a hood over his head and a bow in his hand.
His earpiece flared up, a woman's voice sounding through the small device. "Oliver, I am picking up some strange energy readings." She sounded nervous, more so than ever, "What kind?" Oliver asked, yet no response was heard, "Felicity?" He asked again, "Above you. 200 meters, and coming closer."
As soon as she said this, he could see lightning form, seemingly out of nowhere, the lightning, was accelerating, and seemed to open as it got closer to the hooded figure.
The lightning disappeared, leaving nothing but a trail of steam, crashing into the ground.
He quickly moved out of the way of the object dodging it, as it landed a dust could surrounding it.
He slid an arrow out of his quiver, and quickly knotted it, drawing the string back, aiming it at the object.
He was shocked, when he found nothing but a small girl with red and black hair, and a small metal box beside her, also red and black, and she was completely naked.
Her breathing was faint, and her heart rate was below 30, the young girl barely alive. "Felicity, get the medical area ready." He pulled out his ear piece, not wanting to explain, or knowing what to say, he picked up the young girl, and the small red box, carrying them both down from the roof, and onto his bike, heading straight for his club; Verdant, and to his secret hideout, hidden below the building.
Later that week:
"What the hell happened to her?" Felicity asked, concern lining her voice. "She's the anomaly" Oliver bluntly replied, carrying the girl over to the bed, and putting the strangely heavy metal device on a nearby table.
Felicity hooked up the heart monitor, Oliver giving a hand, with covering the poor girl, while Felicity quickly began hooking up various types of medical equipment.
Her heart rate was low, but she was stable. "What do you mean she's the anomaly?" She asked "I mean she was the one that fell from the sky, along with that thing." He explained, pointing towards the small metal box on the table. At this Felicity stood, and walked towards the object, seeing a distinct pattern on the device, "Do you have any idea what this thing is?" she asked "No clue" he replied, "But nothing else fell with her. But keep an eye out if this happens again, if someone has come through, there might be more.
Ruby's Dream:
The queen.
I had tried, and I had failed.
I was the only one who could stop this madness, and I failed, how could I. I failed tem, I failed my sister, I failed Weiss, I failed Blake. I failed all of them.
I finally had the chance, but I was weak,
The scenes kept repeating themselves within her mind, playing beneath her eyelids, as she fell through an endless abyss.
Felicity was watching over the poor girl, when Oliver came down the stairs, "Success" he said "Mr Daniels wont be seeing the streets for a long time, well maybe from inside his new cell in Iron heights." "Well he had it coming" Felicity replied.
Oliver quickly removed his hood, and set down his bow in the glass cabinet.
"How's she doing?" he asked. As she was about to reply, a massive gasp was heard from behind the two. They both looked towards the young girl, and ran towards her.
"Shh, you're ok, just relax, you'll be fine." Oliver quickly spoke, comforting the young girl. "Wh- Where am I? Where's Yang" She wheezed. "its ok, you're safe, you're in starling city. Sorry we don't know about any Yang." The girl looked distressed, "Wh-Who are you?" she questioned, her throat still dry. "I'm Oliver queen, and this is Felicity Smoak, we have been taking care of you for the past few days." He replied, "Do you remember anything, what happened, something like that." Felicity finished. "I remember, I, my name, argh, Ruby, my name is, I think its Ruby." She struggled with her memory, rubbing her temples as she dug through her thoughts.
They ran as fast as they could, but it was to late, She was already gone, enveloped by the blood red portal. The last glimmer of light faded as yang stopped her run, sliding across the floor in hope to reach her sister, however it was to late, she was gone. Ruby had the shot and she took it, only to be absorbed by the red doorway, and to be cast into oblivion.
"Hey ruby, are you ok? You kind of blacked out for a second there." When she came to, Felicity was staring intently at her face. "uh sorry I was just remembering what happened, anyway, please tell me you found a red and black device, made of metal." "yeah, here," Oliver replied, giving her the device, "Thank you," She responded "Mind helping me up?" she asked at this Oliver turned, picking something up, and handed it to her, it was a small pile of clothes, "Yours were burnt up completely." He explained. "Don't worry, I didn't peek." She accepted the clothes, and both of them turned around, allowing ruby to change in privacy.
"So, What's your story?" Oliver asked, still facing the other way. "The Name's Ruby Rose, I'm a 16 year old student at beacon, second best huntress in my class too." She replied. "Huntress?" Oliver asked, turning around, Ruby having clothed herself.
"Wait, you don't know what a huntress is?" she asked confused, "We know next to nothing about you, you came here through a rip in the fabric of reality, as far as we know you may be in an entirely different dimension." Felicity explained.
Ruby dropped to her knees, her silver eyes tears dropping from her eyes, and running down her cheeks, "Yang, Qrow Summer, I am so sorry." She stared blankly at the far wall, the realisation of never seeing her family ever again was too much for the young huntress.
"Hey," Oliver said, crouching down in front of Ruby, "If there's a way here, there's a way back, I guarantee it, it may take years, but you will get home, I promise."
"Y-Yeah, I guess you're right," She said, drying tears away from her eyes.
"hey, why don't you tell me what it is you've got there?" he asked politely,
"S-Sure," She said sniffling, still a little upset, although, Oliver's words comforted her greatly. "is there a shooting range anywhere near here?" she questioned.
At this Oliver stood up, pulling her with him, and pushed a button on the wall, a set of doors opened up, and a target was revealed, around 20 metres away.
She took crescent rose in her hands, and flipped out the stock, earning an impressed look from the duo. She pulled the trigger, aiming for the target, and a loud bang echoed through the small room. Dead centre. Another explosion sounded throughout the room, only this one was bigger, big enough to take out an entire engine block.
The target shattered, hard-foam exploding everywhere, even destroying some of the back wall. "Wow" Oliver cheered, but before he could continue, ruby brought around the gun, swinging it down, and then around, unfurling a massive scythe. She dashed forward, slicing through all of the larger pieces of foam, cleaving them in two easily. "WOW" Oliver and felicity shouted, both of them still slightly deaf from the loud explosion.
"I've never seen someone move that fast before." Oliver stated, clearly impressed, "so is this what huntresses do?" he asked, "well kind of, we do it to creatures of Grimm." Seeing their confusion, Ruby quickly explained, "Grimm are monsters without a heart or soul, they kill hundreds of people each day. Hunters and huntresses are the only line of defence against them. It is our mission as a species, to eradicate all of those beasts." She slowly explained about her world and its people throughout the night, being joined by both Diggle and Roy.
It was good to have people listen to and even take care of her, even in this strange world.
That's that fellas hope you enjoy.
