Two years passed at Signal and things seemed to be looking up for Cayn. He still didn't have many friends, but he always had at least one friend in Yang. Cayn still did really well in all of his classes. He did more than well, he did amazing. He mopped the floor with everything Signal could throw at him. Though tended to do it more thoroughly in his combat, dust, and weapons classes.
During a break Cayn got to do something he never could before. He finally met Ruby, Yang's younger sister. He was simply walking out the front entrance of Signal, not even following Yang and he just happened to see her holding a hood over the face of a smaller girl.
The other girl was decked out entirely in a red and black outfit. She wore a black blouse under a black and red corset with a red hood and cape attached to the back, a black combat skirt with red ridges at the end, black leggings and black combat boots. She also had a red object attached to the back of her belt.
"Hey, cut that out!" the girl shouted, pushing Yang away. She flipped the hood back behind her head again.
"Love, what are you doing?" Cayn asked strolling over. Cayn had developed quite a deep voice over the years, not enough to sound weird, but enough to stick out among most others his age.
"Oh, hey Cayn!" Yang didn't seem to be bothered at all by Cayn catching her physically assaulting someone. "This is my baby sister, Ruby."
"Hello!" Ruby chirped waving her hand. Cayn waved back.
"Ruby, this is my boyfriend Cayn."
Ruby's eyes lit up in surprise. She just stood there, not moving, face completely white.
"Ruby?" Yang waved her hand in front of Ruby's face. "Are you okay?"
Ruby's voice stayed monotone. "How long have you been dating?"
"About three months." Yang said it like it was nothing.
"Three months!" Ruby woke up and flipped out. She immediately started flailing at Yang.
Cayn just stood there as Ruby and Yang rolled around on the floor like two puppies fighting it out. Cayn just sighed and watched. They're definitely sister's.
Elsewhere a young girl, about fourteen years old woke up in an ugly crusting apartment. The walls were crumbling and falling apart and they were a dismal brown-yellow mix. She had long blond hair that went to her shoulders, and she was a rather short person altogether, she was only 5'3", but she was built like an amazon.
She climbed out of bed. She was wearing some old clothes: blue sweat pants and black t-shirt with a picture of Achieve Men on it. The only other piece of furniture in the room was a cheap dresser. She walked over to the dresser and opened three drawers, one at a time of course, and pulled out, black slacks, a black shirt with sleeves that stop at the elbows and a crew cut, it was very clearly a man's shirt, underwear and a bra.
She walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower, striped, and stepped into the cold water.
A rather tall teenager with short jet black hair climbed out of a bath. He had a very muscular build, but his body was riddled with scars, especially his back where he had whiplashes. They were relatively old scars, none newer than a few months.
He stood by the mirror looking at his scars for a moment before unplugging the bath. The bath itself was the size of a normal hot tub. The bathroom itself was bigger than what one would find in the average house, mostly because it wasn't in a house. It was in fact in a monastery. A rather empty one at that.
He took a towel lying on top of the counter across from the tub and began to dry off. He had brought his toothbrush in there with him and he brushed his teeth with his reflection. After spitting the door began to open, he was still standing buck-ass naked. Without saying a word he slammed the door shut with his right hand and continued to brush his teeth with his left.
"Sorry brother." a man said on the other side of the door.
The black-haired teen spit out the toothpaste, picked up his towel, wrapped it around him, kept hold of his toothbrush, and exited the bathroom, allowing the man to enter.
Another teenager was getting ready; this one however was another girl, also rather short, though taller than the first at 5'5". She had dark blue hair in a pixie cut and was wearing blue jeans and a grey hoodie. Underneath she had a dark blue full body suit with yellow stripes flowing down the side. This was her battle suit, of course, she wouldn't wear it around town casually, that would send the wrong message.
"Morning honey!" her mom said as the girl left her room and began jumping down the stairs.
"Morning mom!" she ran over to her mom who was standing in the kitchen and leaning against the counter sipping coffee. Her mom was still in her nightgown, most likely having just woken up.
The girl hugged her quickly, grabbing an apple from behind her in a bowl on the counter. She took several bites of it before grabbing her backpack from the living room connected to the kitchen.
"I gotta go!" the girl said sprinting to the door, "I woke up late! Sorry we can't talk!"
"Have fun at school!" her mom cried out. "Don't forget to take your medicine."
"Oh yeah, thanks mom!" the girl ran over to her mom again. Just beside her were a few bottles of medicine. The girl quickly opened them all up and poured a pill from each into her palm and she dry swallowed them. She quickly hugged her mom again and ran back to the door.
The girl threw the backpack on her back, took a bite out of her apple, opened the door, and left.
A/N:
Q: Hi! What's up? Jeb's not gonna be here for this A/N 'cause he's vacationing in Hell right now. I apologize that this took so long, schools been hectic lately and I've been busy. Chapter 3 should be up right after this and we'll be working on chapter 4 soon.
How'd you like the little glimpse of the team? Don't look to into their routines, as at this point they're still subject to change to some change at least. I'm sorry this note is short, I'm a bit distracted at the moment. Expect Ch. 3's to be similar. They should pick up again by Ch. 4.
