"He WHAT?!" Team RWBY is sitting in their dorm room and the other three have just been informed of Ruby's new schedule. Yang gets up and drags her sister into her arms, hugging her with a lot of force. "Aww, look at my baby sister moving up in the world!" Ruby groans and tries to escape, "Yang! Pleash shtop!" Yang makes an apologetic face and puts Ruby down, who proceeds to try and relearn how to breathe. Blake agrees with Yang, "This is important Ruby. Now you'll have access to knowledge that few others get." Weiss scoffs, "Doubtful."
All three look to see Weiss's sour face. Yang growls, "Why can't you ever be happy when she gets something good, huh?" She begins to stomp over to the ice princess when Ruby puts her hand on her sister's arm. "She's right." Blake, Yang, and especially Weiss look taken aback by this. Ruby blushes and stammers before saying, "He's probably doing this to keep us out of trouble, me especially. He's not giving me a special privilege, he's making sure that I don't act up." Weiss nods, and Blake seems to see this too, but Yang is still agitated. "It'll be okay Yang," Ruby tries to reassure her sister.
~ The rest of the day passes on as usual, but that night, things got strange. Ruby's dream takes her to a rooftop looking towards the Vale Museum. She tucks back a strand of her hair ('Why is it so long?!') behind her ear and talks into an earpiece. "I'm in position. I repeat, the fox has the henhouse in sight. Should I continue?" She hears a voice that she recognizes all too well, "Alright Red, move in." She nods and is about to proceed when the static sound of a sigh into a microphone is heard, "Oh and Red? Don't get caught." Ruby laughs in her dream, "Sound advice. I wouldn't dream of it."
She then jumps from building to building and manages to land on the museum's roof without a sound. She fiddles with the lock on one of the windows before it springs open. ('Where did I learn to do that?') In the dream, she continues on, bugging cameras and avoiding tripwires like a pro. She passes one fabulously expensive piece after another as she makes her way to the security room. Ruby looks at her watch, 'I've got five minutes.' She goes in silently and heads straight for the lockers. Picking the lock on locker number 27, she pulls out a heart made of gears and clockwork. "Found you," she breathes. Ruby puts the heart into her bag and hurries out. Tapping her earpiece, she says, "The fox has the hen."
"No she doesn't." Ruby whirls around, drawing a gun as she does, to see Ironwood with his one gun trained on her. She is briefly thankful for her hood and mask. He falters for a moment before glaring murderous daggers at her, "You again?! How many times do you plan on making my life hell?" The question was practically spat out. Dream Ruby smirks, "As many times as you plan to fuck the world and it's people over." She then backflips while firing a round at his gun, knocking it out of his hand. Turning around she goes into a full tilt, semblance aided bolt for the back door that could only be opened from inside. "Get outta there Red!" comes from her earpiece. She snarks back a, "Already on it, Ginger." She hears the motorcycle as soon as she is out the door and jumps onto it without it even slowing. "Thanks Neo!" she shouts, her arm wrapped around the waist of the smaller woman. Neo just casts a grin over her shoulder before speeding up even more. The dream fades with the heart's beat in her bag…~
Ruby is quiet in the morning, contemplating her dream. She had committed theft and worked with Roman Torchwick of all people…but this strangely didn't leave her with the unease that she expected it ought to. She had woken with a sense of pride and accomplishment. She wonders what such a dream could have meant.
Bidding her teammates good morning, she makes her way to Ozpin's office. She takes a step into the room and sees him at his desk. "Ah, Ruby! Come in. I've just poured a cup of coffee for you." Ruby smiles and thanks him before taking the cup and loading it with sugar. After a few moments Ozpin asks, "Is something on your mind?" She thinks about lying, but quickly realizes that it'll just make him angry. She sighs and says, "Yes sir. I think…I think I miss my villain." Ruby blushes as she realizes how childish it sounds when said aloud, and begins to trip over her tongue while trying to explain what she meant.
Ozpin cuts into her unintelligible babbling with, "You are referring to Roman Torchwick, are you not?" Ruby nods, embarrassed at herself. Ozpin smiles as he takes another sip of his coffee, "I'm glad you mentioned him. The class after this is cancelled for you, yes?" Ruby nods, "Dr. Oobleck seems to have caught a cold." Ozpin rolls his eyes, "So he says. Come Ruby. I say we make our first class a field trip." Ruby's eyes seem to grow in confusion and surprise at that, with her eyebrows in her hairline. She doesn't say anything though, as who knows what goes on in that mind of his anyway?
They take Ozpin's car, which is so shiny and sleek that Ruby practically drools. They chat in the car as though they were old friends, as opposed to headmaster and student. Ruby looks out the window and suddenly realizes where they are going. "Do you think they will give us permission to go in and see him?" Ozpin glances over, surprised and pleased to see that she had caught on, "They should. I've known James for a long time now and you are the leader of the team that helped capture him." She nods, but still has that image of Ironwood from her dream fresh in her mind.
