"WAKE UP!" came a shrill voice in Ruby's ear. Ruby jumped as if she had been hit by a lightning bolt and promptly fell off her bed, landing painfully on her back at the feet of her team mate, Weiss Schnee. Looking up, her vision blurry, she saw furious blue eyes piercing her sleepy brain as she struggled to find out what happened. She relaxed when she realized she was in her dorm room, though she didn't remember how she had gotten there.

Memories came rushing back, about everything that had happened. Jet, his weapon, the overwhelming feeling of tiredness. Had he brought her up here? Ruby looked up at Weiss, disorientated. Weiss, having no such distracting thoughts, pulled her teammate up to her feet, Ruby letting out a surprised little 'eep' as she was pulled sharply to her feet.

"It's a good thing you weren't attending classes today." Weiss said, shaking Ruby a little to help pull her back into reality. Ruby shook off the tiredness, then looked at Weiss.

"It's Thursday though." she said, as Weiss turned around and started making her a cup of coffee.

"Ozpin let us off for the day to recuperate." Weiss replied, returning with the coffee. Ruby frowned, she had never tried it before, and took a gentle sip, but nearly dropped it as it burned her lips. Weiss smiled inwardly as she said gently "Blow on it first." It was the girl's first time, after all.

Ruby did as she was advised, and after a while, remarked that she quite liked it. After a quick dash through the shower, they walked down to the library, intending to visit Blake. They found her at one of the computers, Ruby taking the one next to her, while Weiss sat between them.

On Blake's screen, they saw an online delivery service that had ten books currently in the trolley. Smirking, Ruby got to work as Weiss and Blake engaged in conversation. Their relationship had changed for the better, she noted as she searched through the list of teams currently operating from Beacon. Her cursor hovered over RWBY, but she passed over it.

After about 15 more teams, she found the one she was looking for, LIJN. Weiss, apparently having finished her conversation with Blake, gazed over at Ruby's screen as she clicked on the link.

"What are you looking at Ruby?" she asked.

"Oh, just another team." Ruby replied, looking through the data. LIJN consisted of four members, Lilac, Izzet, Jet and Nouvelle. Jet was the leader, as he had told her.

She looked over Lilac's profile first, which showed a smiling blonde girl, with pearl white eyes that reminded her of seashells on a beach. Her hair was down to her shoulders, and she looked about as tall as Ozpin, with muscular arms. She wielded a pair of whips, which were crackling with electricity.

Her semblance seemed to revolve around her hair, as Ruby continued to read. Apparently, she was able to elongate it, shorten it, and have it change colour at will. She could also transform it into other things. The electric whips were called "The Men of War".

Weiss tapped her shoulder. "Why are you interested in them?" she asked. Ruby looked up.

"Tell you later." she said quickly, concentrating on the screen. Izzet was next.

Another girl, this one short and thin, with flowing silver hair that reminded Ruby of her eyes each time she looked in the mirror, but her left eye was blue and the other was red. Her weapons were two parallel blades that ran across the outside of her arms, one blue, the other red, in symmetry to her eyes.

According to her profile, despite being a defensive fighter and a well-trained medic, she was one of the most powerful of her team, she had the power to manipulate time, and could be seen teleporting from place to place in a defensive fighting style.

Nouvelle was the next member Ruby checked out. She had flaming red hair, and looked to be a similar height to Jet. Her eyes were electric blue, even outmatching Weiss' eyes in the blue department. Ruby's attention was drawn to her weapon, however. It was a gold version… of Shadow Meteor! Labelled Flaming Meteor, it was held proudly by its owner. Her semblance was clearly fire based, kind of like Yang's.

Ruby, with confusion ever present, clicked on the last team member, the leader, Jet.

Jet perched himself on a spire of a building in downtown vale, maintaining a perfect balance on the single point with a single boot. His vigilance was normally eternal, as he scanned the roads, streets, and even dark alleys, in the light of the afternoon sun. Even as he did so, his mind began to wander. 'Did Ruby sleep alright?' he asked himself.

He recalled last night's memories. After getting ready to head back, Ruby was about to collapse. He barely had time to catch her, only managing it because he was quick. He'd gotten up to the window of Ruby's dorm room, and had crept though the still open window, tucked Ruby into her bed, and then crept out. He recalled a particularly tender feeling when he'd gazed upon the sweet little girl. Really, Ruby could be adorable.

Jet shook his head. He could think about that later, and more importantly, where HAD those thoughts come from? He had more pressing worries, as an audible zapping sound reached his ears. So they had made their move, he thought to himself.

He quickly spread black wings from underneath his jacket and took off from his perch. Almost immediately, a red and blue blur shot up next to him. Jet immediately spun around and kicked Izzet down, who had been about to swipe at him with her blades, but instead she fell incredibly fast down into the streets, where her blur faded.

Grinning, he plummeted down after her, folding in his wings and drawing Shadow Meteor, intent on finishing her in one hit. Before he could complete this dive, however, a body slammed into him with incredible heat and power.

Knocked out of his dive, Jet slammed into the nearest building, taking the body with him, going straight through the brick wall, with his aura protecting him. He quickly rose and faced his attacker, revealed to be Nouvelle, who leapt to her feet. Her flaming outfit combined with her hair gave her the look of a scorching flame.

Nouvelle gazed upon Shadow Meteor as Jet readied himself.

"Do you really expect to defeat me with zat thing?" she asked in a scornful tone with a strong French accent. Behind her, Izzet jumped through the hole in the roof, blades ready. She started to concentrate her power onto Nouvelle, who started to become blurred. Jet whistled, and Lilac joined the fray, leaping through the hole in the wall and wrapping her whips around Izzet before blasting her with electricity. Izzet attempted to turn to face her attacker, but she was rapidly numbed by the volts coursing through her slender frame and fell to the floor, defeated.

Losing the blurring, Nouvelle ran forward, but was intending to attack Jet while she was boosted by Izzet. Losing her momentum, she was an open target, and Jet did not hesitate, cracking her around the head with Shadow Meteor. As she fell, dazed, Jet simply said "I do." before turning to face Lilac.

She beamed at him, and yelled out "Victory!" as she ran over to hug Jet. Jet allowed her to collide with him, and the two shared in their victory hug, the gesture simply an act of friendship.

Izzet picked herself up, and looked towards the fallen Nouvelle, along with the hole in the wall. She turned to address Jet, but he merely winked.

"You know what to do Izzet." he said, reaching over to pat her on the shoulder. Izzet nodded, closed her eyes, and concentrated on the broken wall.

Ruby looked at the screen in shock. For once, the omniscient computers at beacon had finally failed to provide information to her. Weiss looked surprised too, and Blake had tiptoed over to observe. Yang had also joined them, her explanation for her absence being a need to "punch a couple of things."

All four girls were now looking at Jet's profile. There he was, in a similar outfit to the one he wore last night, except his undershirt was a dark blue. He was not wielding a weapon however, nor demonstrating his semblance.

The screen read "Weapon: UNKNOWN, Semblance: UNKNOWN. Jet is an unusual individual that has the ability to manipulate shadows, however this is not believed to be his semblance. He has been observed using several weapons on the field, leaving his true weapon unknown. He is believed to be a faunus, as wings protrude from his back, but his DNA registered as human during several examinations, leaving the nature of the wings to be determined. No other data available."

"Sounds shady." Yang commented, and the others turned to look at her. But why are you so interested Ruby?" she asked. Ruby herself was disappointed, she was hoping to find out a little more about the mysterious teen that had beckoned her to sit with him on Sunset Hill. He really was as mysterious as he seemed on that hill.

"I met him last night." Ruby said. "I couldn't sleep, so I went to Sunlight Hill and found him. I sat with him, and we talked about teams, weapons, but I felt really tired, and I blacked out. I guess he put me into my bed, after carrying me I mean."

"That explains what I saw last night." Blake said quietly. Everyone turned to look at her. "I woke up a little at the sound of our window opening. I saw a black shape carrying you, and it put you into your bed, even tucked you in. I couldn't tell who it was because it looked like just a shadow." Blake elaborated.

"I want to meet this guy." Yang said, standing up and stretching. "Not that I'm not thankful for what he did, but we don't know him." Weiss stood up too.

"I agree." she said. "I want to know what he has to say for himself for keeping you up so late."

Ruby was worried. "He's not a bad guy." she said, quickly.

"Maybe," Weiss was quick to argue, "but we don't know much about him either."

"I'd go too, if only to find out more." Blake chipped in.

Ruby sighed. "Okay, let's go over there and wait for him." she said reluctantly.

After reaching Sunset Hill, they found the familiar silhouette of Jet. It seemed as though he was dozing peacefully in the afternoon sun. Ruby walked over to him, and looked at his face. He still looked as charming as ever.

"Jet? Jet?" Ruby called.

Jet stirred, then opened his eyes. He seemed remarkably awake for a person that had only just been woken up.

"Afternoon Ruby." he said, sitting up. He turned around to see Weiss, Blake and Yang, all observing him, Weiss with her hands on her hips, eyes boring into his, Blake with a look of mild curiosity, and Yang causally smiling, waving at him.

"So this is team RWBY." he muttered to himself, and only Ruby heard him.
