A/N unfortunately (last I checked anyways) I still don't own RWBY, all that credit goes to Monty and RT. (To the person who just commented on Chapter 3 asking for more, here you go. Lol)

Current Time: Junior's Club

Yang parked her motorcycle at the curb. Finally off campus and out searching. It seemed too familiar, walking in these doors looking for a lost teammate. Last time it was Blake, and last time they had all tried to kill her when she stepped inside the club. She didn't blame Junior for that, he had to keep up appearances, and he'd made it up to her afterwards. She opened the door and held her head high as she walked across the dance floor to the bar. Several henchmen walked towards her and the twins turned to face her from the bar. Junior's head bobbed up from under the bar where he must have been grabbing something about the same time the music stopped as the DJ took arms.

Junior scowled as his girlfriend approached. The bartender was really not having a good day, Miltia and Melanie had been drinking hard and hitting on him, and 6 of his men were suspect in connection with the bombing. He waved his hands at his henchmen and yelled to the DJ to start the music. He looked at her face for a clue to why she was there, she didn't look ok. He scooted away from Melanie and Miltiades, and waved Yang to the bar.

"What can I help you with Blondie?" He kept his voice even, had she texted him about this? He cursed mentally for leaving his phone in the office, but he was getting non-stop calls from people wanting to hire his men.

"I tried to call; I need to hire some men to find a missing person." Yang kept her voice even but she didn't look him in the eyes. She stared blankly behind him.

Junior noticed her looking past him, her eyes glazed over and realized Ruby must be who was missing. "I can get some men out looking, you know my prices yes? I don't normally work for huntresses but I think I know who you're looking for and I owe her a favor."

Yang nodded slowly understanding, he knew and he would help. She knew he would but he still needed to be clear to do it. "I can afford your men; I'll put everything I have into it. Tell me who the best men are, I'll take them."

Junior laughed for effect "My best men? Blondie are you drunk? You can take these two, my best agents" he motioned at Miltia and Melanie who were trying to make it look like they weren't eavesdropping. Like Yang would ever choose their help, his girlfriend had read some of the pathetic messages they had sent Junior. They were always desperate to get him to bed, and the couple laughed for hours at them. If the twins weren't as skilled fighters as they were and willing work at the regular rate, he would have ditched those two years before. He watched as Yang's eyes scanned the room.

"Can I just take him?" Yang said as the pointed to the bear-masked DJ. "At least he packs a punch. I said I wanted your 'men' not your 'entertainers'." She put emphasis on the last word and Miltiades lost her cool, standing suddenly. Junior waved his hand at her and glared in her direction.

"Miltia, if you start a fight with a paying customer you're off work for a month with no pay. You should know better." Junior turned back to Yang "I'm sorry, it seems my henchmen have had too much to drink tonight. I think it might actually be time for them to go home and rest" he looked this time at Melanie pointedly, telling her to get lost and the girl grabbed her twin and headed for the door as the blonde and the bartender watched.

"Wow. They must really hate you for that Hei." Yang turned back to Junior "Can you help me look for her since it looks like you don't have the staff for me to hire"

"Follow me to my office" Junior said and he led her back behind the bar.

Current Time: Roman's Apartment

Neo got off the elevator ahead of Roman who was pushing his 'fiancé's' wheelchair. Roman tossed his keys to his cousin so she could open the door and waited for her to set her bag down so she could hold the door open for him.

"Welcome home Red… though I guess you don't really remember this at all do you?" Roman wheeled the girl to the center of the living room so she could take in the view. Most of the room was white with steel and modern furnishings, some of the items in the room were red to offset the bright of the white, including a vase of roses on the island in the kitchen. Ruby shook her head slowly as she looked around more. "What would you like to do first my dear?" Roman asked as he kneeled down by the wheelchair "I can cook you some food? Would you like a nap?"

Ruby looked down at her tattered dress, face red at the realization that she would need someone to help her change clothes. "Can I change first?" she squeaked, suddenly aware at how close he was to her and how comfortable he was with that. She wondered about their relationship. He had to at least be 20.

"N-neo…" Roman stuttered, "Neo can help you…Right Neo?" he looked to his cousin for support; he hadn't quite realized that Ruby would need this type of help and the poor girl was turning red at the thought herself. Luckily Neo stepped behind the wheelchair and held her phone in front of Ruby's face.

"We haven't met yet." The phone read "I'm Roman's cousin Neopolitan, you can call me Neo :D" The ice-cream girl pulled her phone back and typed a new message, this time shoving it in Roman's face. "You owe me… I'll play along and I'll help but don't think for a second I agree with this!"

"Thank you Neo" Roman said in reply to his cousin, and then he directed his attention to Ruby, as he reached over and squeezed her hand "Guess what Ruby, Neo said she can help you out with getting cleaned up too ok? So she's going to take you to the bathroom and grab you some clothing from our bedroom ok?"

Neo pushed Ruby's chair to the elevator to the apartment's second floor and once they got to the bathroom she typed up a quick message to be excused to grab clothing. She had said she was going to the bedroom, but in reality she teleported off to a store and grabbed clothing that looked to be the right size, tossed some money to the cashier, and teleported back to the bedroom. She carried a black nightgown and some underwear and a bathing suit back to the bathroom.

Ruby watched as Neo walked back into the bathroom and set some clothing on the counter. Neopolitan was silent as she pulled out the bathing suit from the pile. She looked at Ruby silently, and then opened her mouth.

"So…I bet you have a lot of questions right?" Neo asked, much to the younger girl's surprise. "I can't give you a lot of answers right now, we don't have that much time… but you know a lot of things, it's just hidden deep inside because some idiots tried to kill you today and they thought giving you a potion to cause amnesia and confusion would lead you right to your death. Fortunately for you they think it worked. And we're going to keep it that way ok? But I need you to trust me, and I need you to trust Roman. It's going to be hard, you two didn't exactly get along…Do you trust me?"

Ruby nodded slowly watching as Neo pulled a small vial from her purse.

"The medics gave me this today" Neo said "Roman doesn't know that I have it, they found a drug in your system and it's making your memory blank. This is the antidote. I'm going to give this to you Ruby because I want you to drink it; I want you to trust me I'm on your side but I need the real you. I need your help. And maybe you need to see the real Roman. You're completely safe within these walls, no matter what your history with the people here tells you. He's not going to harm you and he won't let anyone else near enough to harm you either, especially since he doesn't know who drugged you. You're completely safe here. Can you believe me? Can you drink this and keep pretending you're Red? Please?"

Ruby nodded again. "Neo…you're scaring me…"

"I don't want you scared Ruby, I want you aware. Now drink up …and remember" she handed Ruby the vial and the young huntress drank.

Ruby leaned forward in her chair gripping her head in pain as years of memories that had been stripped from her mind came pouring back. She stayed like that for what seemed like hours, but she realized it must have only been seconds because in the span of time it took Ruby to get her mind back in place Neo had only accomplished taking off her clothes and boots, leaving nothing but a camisole and panties. She looked at the ice cream girl and watched her, really seeing her for the first time. Ruby knew who the girl in front of her was now. No fogginess clouded her memories, she could vividly see the past in her mind and all the times they've fought. Ruby was conflicted by her feelings. She should feel like she was in danger. If Yang was here she'd be screaming 'Run!'. But her sister wasn't here, and Ruby didn't feel threatened. Instead she felt safe, like she could trust Neo even with their history together.

Neo stepped over to the sink and picked up the bathing suit, it was a simple two piece and she handed it to Ruby. "I'm going to go get a chair ok Ruby, go ahead and slide this on and then we can get you cleaned up." Neo stepped outside the door and went downstairs to the kitchen. She glided over the floor swiftly, humming, ignoring the quizzical looks from her cousin in the living room. She walked straight to dining room where she picked up one of the clear plastic kitchen chairs and walked with it back to the bathroom.

When Neo walked back in the bathroom Ruby was wearing the bathing suit. The bottoms fit fine but the top was a little loose and the girl was blushing a little.

"Hmmn, I think I can fix that for you" Neo said and she picked up one of her spare hair clips off the counter and clipped the straps together at Ruby's back pulling the front of the garment tighter. "I know it's a small amount of fabric but I thought you'd be a little nervous if we did this naked and I didn't think a full suit would be as easy to put on." Neo lifted the chair over the top of Ruby's head and set it in the shower with the back to the faucet and hose. "I'm gonna put you on the chair and then we can put your cast up on the edge of the tub and I'll wash you off with the hose ok? Or at least that's the plan"

Ruby nodded in response as Neo put her arms around Ruby as if carrying her bridal style and in a flash the two were in the tub.

"There see? Easy as cake" Neo said as she stepped out of the tub. Neo picked up the spray hose and pointed it down as she turned on the water. "Now let's get you cleaned up"
