Thank you to IChangedMyNane990, Agent Numbuh 227, Guest 4, Steelrain66, OceanBlueSeaEyes, and DragonPikelz for the reviews!
…
Agent Numbuh 227: Yep, Raven is going to cause problems, same with Qrow. They are both hiding a lot from their team. Tai and Summer don't know the real reason that Raven and Qrow were attending Beacon. They don't know about them trying to learn how to kill huntsmen for their tribe. Both Raven and Qrow are still a part of the tribe, Qrow hasn't left yet. They also don't know about Qrow's semblance yet, so that will be a surprise for them.
Guest 4: Okay, I will try and do that, thank you for the advice about that. Yeah, the songs are going to be a big part of this, and "Red Like Roses part 2" is going to be a major shock, especially for Summer.
Steelrain66: I am not creating my own OC's for this, for any of the parents or the still unknown family members (i.e.: Jaune's sisters, Pyrrha's family, Nora's or the Branwen Tribe). I might add Ren's parents later on; I'm still on the fence about them. Sorry, but I want it to be the people who we already know reacting to RWBY.
OceanBlueSeaEyes: Yang's trailer will be fun to show all of Team STRQ'a reaction, especially the twins and Tai.
Kali played the last trailer.
Yellow Trailer
"Scathing eyes ask that we be symmetrical, one sided and easily processed. Yet every misshapen spark's unseen beauty is greater than its would be judgement."
"That's an interesting quote." Ghira said. Kali and the others nod.
"What does it mean, though?" Tai asked.
"Maybe we're about to see a girl who doesn't conform to societies rules? She could be a rebel." Summer said.
"Could be." Tai said.
Yang is shown riding her motorcycle through the streets of Vale. She eventually stops in front of a club that is blasting music.
"Holy shit! Rae, you and Tai?!" Qrow screams at his sister in shock.
All six of them are stunned by the girl that was paused in the screen. She looked like a reverse Raven but with Tai's color scheme.
"Well… shit, was not expecting that. Raven , are you… ya'know?" Tai asked slowly, wanting to know if the young woman in question was indeed pregnant with his – their daughter.
"I'm not pregnant!" Raven hissed, still not believing that the girl on the screen was her and Tai's daughter.
"Rae, that is your daughter, just with Tai color scheme. You can't deny that." Qrow said with a smirk. He knew he would catch hell with Raven for it but he didn't care. He wanted to poke fun at her for the time being.
Raven glared at her brother. "I. Am. Not. PREGNANT!" She screamed.
They continued the trailer.
As she walks through the club, she sees Roman Torchwick ending a conversation with Junior. She makes her way to the bar where Junior stands.
"Red like roses fills my dreams and takes me to the place you rest."
"That's from the first trailer! I wonder why?" Summer asked, turning to Tai, he shrugged but wrote down the lyrics of the other song in the journal he found under the table.
"Strawberry Sunrise. No ice. Oh, and one of those little umbrellas." Yang said.
"You are not drinking in my house, young lady!" Tai shouted at the girl on the screen.
"Tai… she can't hear you." Qrow remined his teammate. Tai flushed pink and muttered something under his breath.
"What was that?" Qrow asked, smirking.
"Shut up." Tai grumbled. "If Ruby is yours and Summer's kid then you would be the same way." Tai said.
"We don't know who that mini-Summer's dad is, it could be me, but I highly doubt that." Qrow said.
"Why's that? Do you not want kids?" Kali asked, curious at his response.
Raven looked shocked by the question directed at her brother and looked at him with a slightly worried expression.
Qrow looked down at his hands and remembers the times where they were covered in innocent blood. He was a scavenger, that was true, even among the tribe. He got scraps and Raven got first pick. He was pulled out of the memories by a hand on his shoulder. He looked up and saw the wide red eyes of his older sister.
"Qrow, it's okay. Just breathe. Breathe. You're with your team; you're with Kali and Ghira. Calm down." Raven instructed.
He nods and does what she said. Qrow calms down and then looks at Kali. "I wouldn't want to hurt any child unnecessarily." He finally said.
Kali and Ghira were confused by that statement. "What do you mean, Qrow?" Summer asked, she and Tai were wondering what he meant as well.
"I…" He couldn't continue. His eyes flashed darkly with memories that he had suppressed from long ago coming to the surface. Leaving the room with a glance at his sister he went to the other room with all of the food in it.
The others look at each other as Raven stares at the door where Qrow went through just a few moments ago. "Damn it." She murmured angrily.
"Raven?" Tai asked his partner.
"It's nothing; he just needs a few minutes. He isn't used to all of this. It'll take time, for both of us, to adjust." Raven said.
"Adjust? To what?" Ghira asked.
"To people caring about us, especially Qrow. He isn't used to that. At all." She looked down to the floor, thinking about all of the times the tribe ostracized her brother. Even his name was a cruel way to keep him contained, to keep him obedient and loyal to the tribe and to Raven. She knew she would be their leader when the current one died. Qrow would be by her side, but not as an equal, never as an equal.
He would always be last; he would be able to leave the tribe only at the end of hunts, to pick up scraps like a scavenger bird. His name was fitting for it, as was his Semblance. But that was the problem, his Semblance. He couldn't control it, he never could.
The tribe thought it was a semi-sentient Semblance that had a will of its own. And it was looking like it every time it accidentally flared up. It always hurt the people close to Qrow, including her from time to time. That was why he was always alone, even at Beacon. He barely came out of the dorm room if it wasn't for classes or training.
Qrow came back as sat down on the empty loveseat, curled up trying to look as small as possible. The others were worried about him, Raven included. Kali picked up the remote hesitantly and started the trailer again.
"Aren't you a little young to be in this club, Blondie?" Junior asks.
"How old is she? Can she even be in that club in the first place?" Ghira asked.
"She looks to be about our age, maybe a little younger." Tai answered the Faunus.
Yang giggles, "Aren't you a little old to have a name like Junior?"
"So you know who I am. You got a name, sweetheart?" Junior asked.
"Yes, Junior, I've got several. But instead of sweetheart, you can just call me sir." Yang says angrily.
She grabs his groin and squeezes it painfully causing Junior to cry out in pain comically.
The three males in the room wince and shudder. "That is definitely your daughter Rae." Qrow whispered.
Raven smiled in silent praise for her… daughter. That was still odd to think about; she had a child with Taiyang.
"People say you know everything." She said, narrowing her purple eyes.
She brings her scroll up to his face, showing him a picture.
"Is that… why is she looking for Raven?" Summer asked.
The group turned to the female Branwen, wondering why her daughter was looking for her.
"You think I know? This is in the future." Raven reminded them.
"Tell me where I can find her and I'll let you go." She said.
Junior strained to answer her, "I've never seen her before, I swear!"
"Excuse me?" She asked, eyes still narrowed.
"I swear, sir!" Junior pleaded.
"Wow, she's ruthless. Guess we know where she gets it from." Tai said.
Raven slowly turned to the blond and gave him a flat look. He sobered up quickly and turned back to watching his daughter.
Junior's henchmen begin to gather around.
"Hmm, looks like we have an audience. This must kind of embarrassing for you, huh? Awkward..." She said, smiling a bit.
"Listen, blondie, sir. If you want to make it out of this club alive, I suggest you let me go. Now!" He said through grit teeth.
"Oh, please! Like you could do anything to mine and Raven's daughter." Tai said proudly.
She lets go and Junior sighs in relief.
"You'll pay for that!" He yelled.
He puts on his sunglasses and walks away from her. Yang follows closely behind.
"Oh Junior, I was just playing with you! Don't be so sensitive! Come on, lets kiss and make up, okay?" She said with a small smile on her lips.
"She's smart. She's lowering his defenses and then she'll strike." Raven smirked at the stupid man on the screen.
Junior stops and turns around.
"Huh? Uh, okay." He said.
"White is cold and always yearning, burdened by a royal test."
"More lyrics from the other trailer." Tai muttered, writing it down.
As he leans in, she punches him in the face sending him flying across the room. The henchmen run towards her.
"I can't believe he actually fell for that." Qrow said, shaking his head, trying not to laugh.
"Black the beast descends from shadows"
"Yellow beauty burns… gold."
"The lyrics changed! Maybe this is the blonde's theme song." Summer exclaimed.
Activating Ember Celica, she jumps into the air and punches down, sending them flying back. She takes out all the henchmen and even the DJ when the two malachite twins step into the room.
"Mirror, tell me something. Tell me who's the loneliest of all."
"Mirror locked inside me. Tell me, can a heart be turned to stone?"
"Are those shotgun gauntlets?" Tai asked.
"Yep!" Summer chirped, excited to see another weapon, this one being her two teammates, daughter.
"Melanie, who is this girl?" Miltia asks her sister.
"I dunno Miltia but we should teach her a lesson." Melanie replies.
"Born with, no life, into subjugation."
Yang loads another belt of ammunition into Ember Celica and takes out the twins after a struggle.
"She's a good hand-to-hand combatant. I'll say that." Ghira said.
"Treated like a worthless animal."
"Stripped of all rights, just a lesser being. Crushed by cruel, ruthless human rule."
"When it started, all we wanted was a chance to live our lives, now in darkness, taking everything we want and we'll rise."
"From shadows, we'll descend upon the world, take back what you stole."
"Faunus discrimination again." Kali mutters sadly, Ghira wraps an arm around her. Summer takes her other hand and squeezes it in comfort. Kali looks at the white-cloaked young woman and smiles at her.
The holograms in the club suddenly turn off and a spotlight shines on Junior as he brings out his Bazooka.
"You're gonna pay for this." Junior shouted.
"Like that'll work." Tai said, crossing his arms and watching his daughter fight.
He begins to attack Yang.
"Come at me, and you'll see. I'm more than meets the eye."
"New music, her theme, most likely." Tai said, trying to write down all of the lyrics he can.
"You think that, you'll break me,"
"You're gonna find in time, you're standing too close to a flame that's burning."
"Hotter than the sun in the middle of July."
Yang gets up and slams her fists together, making her hair and the ground around her burst into flames.
"That must be her Semblance. A fire related one." Raven said, looking at the father of her child. She took a lot from Tai but what did she take away from her? Her ruthlessness, perhaps, but what else? Where was she and Summer in this? Was Summer already dead? Why was her daughter searching for her. The questions kept piling up in Raven's mind.
"Sending out your army, but you still can't win."
"Listen up, you silly boy, 'cause I'm gonna tell you why…"
"I burn!"
As Yang threw another deadly punch to the club owner her eyes turned red.
"Red eyes! Raven! She has both of our eye colors!" Tai told her excitedly.
"I can see that, Tai. I want to know why and how she has my eye color if she has your purple eyes." Raven said to the blond man.
Tai and the rest of Team STRQ wanted to know that too.
"Can't hold me now, you got nothing that can stop me."
Junior pulls out some of Yang's hair as she threw her pervious punch. That makes her med enough to end the fight with another very powerful punch that sends Junior flying out of the club windows, shattering them and crashing onto the pavement.
"Wow, that Semblance is scary powerful." Qrow whispered, not wanting to get on that girl's bad side. Especially if she is Raven's kid.
"I burn!"
"Swing all you want, like a fever I will take you down."
Yang comes outside shortly after.
"Yang? Is that you?" Ruby asked.
"It's the girl from the first trailer! The one with the scythe!" Kali said. Summer was smiling as she thought about the two girls and their obvious friendship.
"Oh! Hey sis!" Yang turned to see her younger sister.
"Sister?!" Qrow shouted, jumping up from his seat and stared at Tai.
"Uh…" Tai said slowly backing away from the very scary Branwen male.
"What the actual fuck, Tai?! You not only knocked up my sister, but our leader too?! Explain!" Qrow shouted in Tai's face.
"Yes, I'd like to know why my daughter and Summer's are related to each other through you." Raven gave Tai a look that could put him six feet under if she wanted, hell, she probably could kill him easily. Both Branwen's could.
"I don't know! I don't know why I have two daughters with two different women, okay?" He held up his hands in surrender.
"So… does that mean that all of us live together in the future?" Summer asked, trying to diffuse the argument that was happening between Tai and Qrow.
"Perhaps." Raven was the one to answer her leader. "Qrow, enough. The trailer is almost over." Raven demanded. Qrow sat down and grumbled under his breathe about beating the crap out of Tai when they get back to Beacon.
"What are you doing here?" She asked.
Yang sighs before the screen cuts to black. "It's a long story." Yang responds.
"I want to know why your daughter was looking for you." Ghira turned to Raven. "That was a picture of you on her scroll, I wonder if you go missing in the future."
"Maybe, but I don't think so." Raven said to the Faunus.
"Guys, there's another note!" Summer said suddenly.
"You have finished watching the trailers. Would you like to continue?"
The others all looked at each other and nod.
"If all of you agree you may start watching the first volume. Reminding you all again, after the first volume ends all of you have the choice of leaving the viewing. If you do then all you have watched up until that point will be with you once you return. You may change or keep the same whatever events you wish. Good luck, and be wise with your future."
"That's ominous." Qrow muttered.
