A knock at the door awoke Blake from her sleep. She opened it to see a tall and skinny man with shortcut wild black hair and slight stubble. In a tired voice she asked him "Who are you,?" she knew that she should have been ready for an attack but she was in Beacon and she was tired so she let it go.

When he answered she could smell the alcohol on his breath and began to wonder if leaving her punch dagger in her bedside table was a good idea

"I came to see my nieces. Ruby and Yang. my name is Qrow." his voice was about as gravelly as an abandoned dust mine. But he seemed serious enough that she let him in.
He walked over to Ruby's bed and gently rubbed the top of her head. When her eye's opened they were sleepy and she said. "Uncle Qrow. what are you doing here?" she asked.

"I hear that you and your sister were having a tough time so I dropped by to visit, thought I might try to cheer you up." as he spoke Ruby sat up in bed and grabbed her uncle around the waist and squeezed.

"We lost Pyrrha, Uncle Qrow, she's gone. And so is Luke and Jaune." as she spoke she cried softly into her uncle's shirt.

"I heard about Pyrrha, but what happened to Luke and Jaune?" Qrow asked as he gently rubbed the half sized reapers shaking shoulders.

"They ran away." she sobbed. She was trying really hard to not wake up Weiss or Yang. they need sleep and she needed to do this.

Qrow ran a hand through her hair as he said. " it's alright kiddo, I here. It's gonna be alright. This hurts and it's supposed to. Remember what I told you when Bud died.

"If we live without emotions then were nothing more than Grimm," she said. It was what Qrow used to help her through losing Bud and now it would help her through losing Pyrrha.

She managed to get her breathing under control and then she pointed to her sister "Yang needs you more than I do right now, go."

Qrow knew what Ruby was doing, she was deflecting. Summer did it too. He just hoped that when she finally let it out she was safe.

Walking over to Yang he reached down and ran his hand through her hair. He knew that he was one of the few people that can do that and not lose a hand so he used it.

"Hey firework," he said when he saw Yang's eyes open. "How ya feeling?"

She didn't answer, not that she really needed to. Her eyes watered up with tears and she too hugged her uncle.

"I trusted him Uncle Qrow, I trusted him and he betrayed me." the more she spoke the more she got upset.

Trying his best to be as comforting as he can Qrow said "hey, who betrayed give me a name and I'll bring you a scalp." leaning in he whispered. "If you ask nicely I may bring back two"

As he had hoped the joke got a grin out of the otherwise somber teen.

"It was Jaune," Blake said. "After he got the news he broke, he broke told Yang that he hated all of us and that he was leaving."

At this point Weiss began to wonder how it was going to be before Blake hired an ACTUAL hit man to kill Jaune, she had already sent Hansen after him and before they found out how that went she was sending Ruby and Yang's uncle after him too.

Weiss also expected to see the legendary temper of Qrow Branwen when he found out but much to her shock he took on a more questioning demeanor and asked"

"Yang, tell me everything that happened when Jaune and Luke got back".

…

After she had explained to her uncle she saw him start to rub his forefinger and thumb on either side of the bridge of his nose.

"Well firework, I have good news for you," he said with his head still bowed.

He received no verbal response just a look that reminded Qrow how much like Raven she looked.

"He cares about you, all of you," he said as he waved his hand around the room to gesture to the rest of her team.

Knowing that this was going to be confusing to the girls he didn't wait for them to say anything and he just kept talking.

"When he heard what Lark and bronzewing said he agreed with them, he blames himself for all of the shit that he has been through all the friends that he has lost. He thinks that he needs to protect all of you from HIMSELF so he did everything that he could to make the four of you hate him before he left so that you wouldn't try to find him."

After a long pause, Qrow continued. "It is also why he was so drunk. He had to say things that you break your spirit and he could do that while he was sober."

It wasn't lost on Yang that after he said this Qrow pulled out his flask and took a large swig before he headed for the door saying.

"Well, I've said what I can. I am also being called to Ozpin's office while I am here. I will see the four of you later."

With that, he was gone. He had closed the door and left the four of them to think about what they had now heard. It made sense but none of them were in a good position to trust Jaune.

"I don't care why he did it he still needs to answer for what he has done," Weiss said from her bed.

"I agree," Blake said. It was rare that the two of them agreed lead alone agree so fully.

Yang went to say something but was cut off by a voice that seemed to be coming from within her own mind.

"Students of Beacon," it was Jorge and he sounded pissed

"My name if Jorge Telmarvak, some of you know who I am others don't. That changes today. If you stay in your rooms you will be safe if you leave I cannot promise that you will be unharmed. I have come to this place to finally wipe an ancient evil from this land. This will not take long, however, I must insist that you stay in your rooms."

There was a moment of pause before Jorge continued.

"Teachers of Beacon, my quarrel is not with you. However. I will not tolerate being opposed if you wish to protect your students may do so by going to them. But hear this," as he finished his voice lowered to a growl. "If you value your safety and health stay the FUCK OUT OF MY WAY"

"Finally, OZPIN. Your time has come. You will answer for what you have done."

that is the end of this story soon to follow is "Beacon's Fall, and the Death of a wizard."
