Old wolf meeting old wizard
Currently standing in the elevator with James ironwood, Winter Schnee, avoiding looking at him mind you, a same looking Glynda Goodwitch and Qrow Branwen, Loki stood awkwardly eating with heavy restraints placed on his being, the teen not at all troubled by the aura dampeners trying to keep him trapped.
It didn't help his case as they were riddled with cracks.
Looking up to the floor announcer, Loki slowly took a sip of his drink he got from a fast food place on the way, Summer and Qrow happily paying for the teen, did i also forget to mention Both Summer and Amber were above waiting for them.
And the fact Loki was the only one eating in the total silence, Ironwood gave him a look of annoyance.
Cringing at hearing the tell tale crunch of food, Qrow spoke lowly.
"Can this thing move any slower?"
Turning to the old crow, Loki spoke.
"Don't jinx it, especially with your semblance" Loki said while trying to gesture to Qrow, only to cause the chains to go taught in his movements, making him sigh while turning to Ironwood with a look of pleading.
"Are the chains really necessary?" looking to Loki with a look of irritation, James failed to see Winter smile slightly.
"You're an unknown element, that also trespassed into an Atlas facility"
"The Schnee count as Atlas?" looking to Winter now in curiosity, the woman shrugged.
Turning forward, Loki stifled a laugh, making Ironwood stare at him suspiciously.
"What's got you laughing?"
"I just had a thought of a movie that involves an elevator, and some hero named captain America"
"Who the hell is Captain America?"
It was just then the doors opened, allowing Loki to walk forward, purposely making the chains rattle with Ozpin, Summer and Amber turning to the sound with confusion, Ozpin opening his mouth to speak Loki stopped him by pointing to Ironwood.
"His idea, not mine"
"James, if he wanted to cause us harm, he wouldn't be here civilly" Ozpin said with Loki smiling.
"Thank you" looking to James, Loki gave the General a salute before casually moving to a chair, shattering the restraints off he sat down casually.
Not even phased of his feat, simply flicking off a piece of chain off of his shoulder while Ozpin sat down.
"So… may we know your name"
"Loki Fenris, Headmaster Ozpin, who in my world I also called dad" hearing this Qrow spat out his liquor, narrowly missing Summer who leaned back from his line of sight, while Winter, Ironwood and Glynda stared at Loki in stunned silence… while Ozpin, sat shocked.
"Care to repeat that please?" smiling sadly to Ozpin, Loki sighed.
"To be honest, I am both sad and happy to be in Remnant, but sadly it isn't the one I was hoping for, I'd also say I'm rom the future of sorts" saying this James scoffed, obviously not believing Loki who turned at him angrily, his eyes glowing yellow-gold with cracks spreading down his face.
"Be careful tinman, otherwise you'll be needing another arm cybernetic" hearing this, James' stare hardened, making him unconsciously grab his right arm.
Seeing the tension, Summer spoke, hoping to diffuse the tension.
"Okay, before this becomes a dick measuring contest, to prove what you said is true, say something that… only we would know" turning to Summer with his eyes still glowing albeit dimly, the wolf stood up, ash particles rising from his body.
"I come from a Remnant where my arrival caused the same effect as that fiery spiral, except that one stopped, my one dug deep down to a very large dust deposit, making it grow close to the size of Atlas' continent" Loki said with James and Winter staring at him in alarm.
"A deposit that size Can destroy a continent, what happened to it?" turning to Ozpin with a smile, Loki held up his ash covered arms, lifting the right one up he turned to James with a smile.
"What do you think this ash is made of?"
"What?"
"Let's say, two of my future friends come back to help keep my power from going unstable, to do that… I had to absorb the super charged Dust into myself, It left me with a pain in the neck" Loki said with Ozpin frowning in thought.
"I also knew about Salem and her cronies" Loki said with the entire room looking at him.
"You knew about Salem?" Ozpin questioned in worry for the man before him, knowing of the woma…
"And how she died" blinking at the dark tone Loki used with that statement, Ozpin looked down to Loki's left hand at seeing movement, blinking at the object he noticed it was a bracelet… with wedding rings attached.
"I take it Salem had taken someone dear to you in your Remnant?" looking to Ozpin with a serious look, Loki looked to his bracelet.
"in a way she did, because of her I had to abandon my home, and my loved ones"
"She chased you down?" looking to Ironwood after showing a dark chuckle, those present froze as Loki's golden eyes were replaced by crimson red, his voice taking a darker tone of rage.
"I gave her a long time dying" Loki said, making them watch in shock as the left side his face, revealing a menacing skull beneath.
Two things happened when they saw this, James aimed his revolver, Qrow stood with his mouth gaping, Amber stood passively and Glynda followed Ironwoods action and prepared for a fight.
Until Ozpin stood up.
"Enough, we came here to talk civilly, James, put your gun away, Glynda lower the crop, and Qrow, close your mouth before a fly lands in there…" turning to Amber who stared at Loki with a curious look.
"Amber, have anything to add?" jumping at hearing her name called, the Fall Maiden blushed at being caught.
"No, nothing at all" turning to Amber as his face returned to Normal, Loki couldn't help but admire her fully, even the curves she had reminded him of Neo and Blake, thinking of Neo.
Turning to Ozpin, Loki spoke.
"I've managed to reconnect and re-establish my spy network, right now I've got a steady flow of information, if you need someone found or captured, I'm your man" Loki said with Ozpin blinking at the complete turn of events his group had gotten, frowning at his self proclaimed son, Ozpin spoke.
"What do you get out of this, I know you said your my son in another world, but what will this achieve?"
"Nothing really, I just want to help keep this world in balance, since well, I've been doing that for the past… five centuries" hearing a thud from the back of the group, they all had to hold back snickers at seeing Winter trying to wake up a feinted James Ironwood.
"Should I mention that time goes differently in other worlds?" turning shyly to Ozpin, the semi-immortal gave the werewolf Faunus a look.
"That would have been a good start Loki"
"Yeah, sorry"
Entering a room with only Mercury behind her, admiring the gothic design within the castles room, the teen followed Cinder with a low whistle at seeing a large table… with people present.
Seeing Cinder keep her head down in shame, Mercury had to wince as he felt all kinds f negative aura's aimed at her.
Seeing someone stand up, Mercury had to fight down the slight fear creeping up his spine at seeing the deathly pallor skin covered with deep red and purple veins that run up her arms and face, The sclerae of her eyes are jet black and her irises glow red and a diamond shaped marking on her forehead, he understood now who this was.
This was Salem, the queen of Grimm, most of the Grimm if his eyes weren't deceiving him in his encounter with the Rogue Huntsmen.
Seeing the woman step around the large table, he saw her outfit fully, She wears a very long black robe with red designs resembling eyes. She also wears a ring resembling an insect on her right index finger. She has white hair formed into a bun with six offshoots from which ornaments are suspended.
Too scared to admire the deadly beauty, he instead stiffly followed Cinder's actions and knelt down.
An action Salem noticed, deciding to mention this later, she spoke to Cinder.
"I do not sense the Maidens power within you, Cinder, care to explain as to why?" seeing the right fist clench in defeat, Cinder spoke.
"An unknown factor interrupted our ambush on the Maiden, my mistress…" looking up to Salem with a gaze of uncertainty, Salem frowned at the look.
"Are you aware of the Grimm's loyalties to you?" sensing the spike of anger from Salem, Cinder looked down in fear as Salem's lips twitched into a scowl before she breathed in, calming herself.
"No, I am not, explain to me what you think" looking up once more, Cinder opened her mouth, only to be silenced as the world around her shuddered, making Salem look around before hearing a deep, demonic chuckle… right behind Cinder and Mercury.
Turning around in fear as the doors were thrown forward into the room by two heavily armored alpha Beowolf, a man wearing a leather duster coat and black jeans stood with a Cane made of bone, showing he wore fingerless leather gloves with black finger nails.
Hiding his face with a top-hat, the man tilted his head just enough to show his mouth, or lack thereof as he showed nothing but sharp teeth that was forever a grin, along with the deathly grey skin mixed with long, messy hair with red wisps rising off of it.
Flexing his fingers on the cane, the two golden eyed Beowolf, followed a silent command and relaxed, stunning Salem while Cinder frowned at the man who stepped forward, only to stand beside Cinder caringly, making the woman flinch as he held a hand softly down her right cheek.
"So strong, yet fragile" looking to Salem, the man showed mismatched eyes of bright sky blue mixed with a blood red right eye.
"and you… so arrogant and full of themselves" saying this he vanished suddenly, making Watts and Hazel look around while Tyrian, was thrown out of his chair, allowing the man to sit down in it instead.
"Who are you?" Salem demanded with the man merely grinning, leaning on his right knuckle while Mercury moved to a shaking Cinders side.
"It's been awhile since I've seen a face like yours, I guess same world, same ugly people"
Looking to the throne his grin widened.
"And that throne, the last time i saw that it was in pieces…" blinking as the man vanished, Salem found herself looking behind her to see a broken throne, and herself lying on it with a scythe impaled through her chest, black blood painting her form before it rippled to show the man grinning widely.
"and you dead on it" feeling a hand on her shoulder, Salem whirled around to see her own head bludgeoned and bodiless.
"Now before I go overboard with my fun, I've come to deliver a warning to you from my father" clicking a finger one of the Beowolf approached, allowing Salem to see it's fur a more, healthy look, seeing it drop something into the man's hand, she saw it was a dagger.
Feeling her hand lifted up and the blade placed on her hand, she looked up to the man who had a dead serious look.
"Your days are now numbered, Salem, witch of the Grimm, scourge of the two brothers and corpse of my home Remnant, you shall take this dagger as a warning" scowling in pain as the dagger caught aflame, her followers standing up in alarm as she fell to her knees while the man merely skipped to the door, stopping he petted Cinder on the head before continuing to the door, the Beowolf already gone.
"YOU HAVE BEEN MARKED FOR DEATH BY THE ROGUE HUNTSMEN, SALEM, DO NOT THINK FOR A DAY OR NIGHT YOU CAN REST EASILY." Turning to the woman who turned to him in anger, he took off the hat and made a jester bow, before seemingly vanished through a curtain of shattered glass, leaving Salem with the Dagger falling from her hand, leaving a brand burnt into her once flawless skin, the brand showing the image of a skull laughing at her current misery.
