After CRWN's excursion into Vale and the rigorous studying they had to endure (thanks Weiss), many sights were changing around them. The weather was becoming colder, the leaves were changing colors, and leaves were falling from their branches as summer turned to fall. At this time of the year, many students were talking about the upcoming school dance. Finding dates, making plans, and other things of the sort. While the other students were making their plans however, two students were devising a plan. One that would change the very foundation of their team (hopefully for the best).

"So, have we made any progress yet?" Charlie whispered to Weiss as they sat in the library, away from the other students. The plan they were devising, or at least attempting to, was for CRWN's little redhead to fall for the snow white heiress. They knew that Weiss had feelings for Ruby, but weren't sure if they were reciprocated.

"No, none yet. Oh sweet Oum, this is impossible. We're never going to make this work." Weiss said dejectedly.

"Well have you tried to just come out with it? Seems like the simple thing to do." the leader in black spoke bluntly.

"Well why don't you ask her? You are her brother after all." Weiss responded, hoping to get out of having to confess to the youngest member of their team.

"Well, I could but it's not my place to do that." Charlie spoke as he contemplated who they could use to weasel the information out of Ruby. Who to choose? Team JNPR? No, we've hardly talked to them since we started. We should probably fix that. He certainly wasn't going to try, and he knew all to well that Weiss wouldn't either (although that would put a damper on their whole plan). Then the lightbulb shined again when the simplest answer came to mind.

"Blake!"

Weiss jumped when her leader yelled out of nowhere, then scolded him for shouting in the library. He shrugged it off, standing up to run to his partner to ask the odd favor. When he reached the courtyard, he found the exact person he was looking for. She sat under a tree off to the side, wearing a white and black flannel and a hat to cover up her ears. When he strode up to the Faunus she looked up from her book ,which was in and of itself a rare occurrence and only one the leader of CRWN could achieve.

"Blake, I need you to do me a favor." Charlie simply put.

Looking up in sheer befuddlement, she closed her book and addressed her team captain.

"And what, pray tell, is this favor?" Blake asked.

"I need you to ask Ruby if she interested in anybody. You know, in that way." Charlie spoke, emphasizing exactly what he meant.

"Okay, how about this. You go and try to and if that doesn't work, then come back to me. Your her big brother, she should be open to telling you." Blake said before going back to her book.

Knowing that she was right, CRWN's leader had to now devise how he was going to go about asking his younger sister about a potential crush. She had dated a little bit in Signal but nothing too major. Simple flings as they were. So with the thought of Ruby having a substantial crush on their teammate was enough for the man in black to take action. He knew this wouldn't be easy, but hell nothing was. It's only as easy as you approach it.

On the walk to their team dorms, Charlie felt like he was being watched or rather followed. He couldn't peg who or what it could be. Halfway to the dorms, he knew something was up. Remember his semblances? Well if there was one thing he knew, Advent was never wrong. Advent acted as another sense to the aid the leader. With an icy blue color change to his eyes, and a swift clutch of Omen, he turned around to something he wasn't expecting.

Or rather… someone.

On the other side of the courtyard, he saw a girl leaning against the tree. She wasn't in any uniform so she wasn't a student. Her blonde hair was tangled and matted as if she never heard of a hairbrush. Her eyes were a fiery red, a stark contrast to Charlie's icy blue gaze. Her face was concealed by a mask. She had two rusty gauntlets attached to her wrist. When she finally spoke, she didn't mince words.

"You're Charles Mercury right?"

"Well now that depends, who's asking?" the raven haired leader spoke, his hand never leaving Omen.

"You're reckoning..." The blonde said before lunging at the leader with her rusty gauntlets.

The leader had a few seconds to react, and he used the short span he had to land a heel kick on the blonde assailant. Reeling, the girl responded with a few well placed punches before landing a kick of her own. The sound of gunshot rang out through out the courtyard as they fought, catching the attention of nearby students.

"What are you doing?! Get out of the way!" The leader exclaimed, causing the students to run and disperse.

Looking back to blonde, he was greeted by a foot launching straight into his chest which sent him crashing into a nearby pillar. Wrapping around the stone structure before hitting the ground with a thud, he looked up to see the blonde assailant walking up to him with a rusty dagger in hand. She was intent on ending the leader of Team CRWN. She very well could have, if it weren't for the black ribbon being wrapped around the dagger and it being thrown aside.

Wait, a black ribbon?

Looking up, he leader noticed his partner, standing above him. Gambol Shroud on full display. She looked like a warrior from his position, standing over the weakened leader like the savior she was at least at this moment.

"Look, I don't know who you are or why you're here… but I'm going to ask you to leave my team alone." the raven haired Faunus said, her amber eyes drilling holes into the mystery woman.

"You think this is over? Well, I'll tell you now it's not and it never will be. Not until that bastard has paid for his sins. You know what you did..." The mystery blonde said before leaping into the trees and dashing off.

"Wait! Get back here!" Blake shouted after the blonde.

"Blake, stop. It's not worth it." Charlie said as he tried getting up, only to collapse down to the stone floor beneath him.

"Charlie! You need to get to the infirmary now!" Blake said before noticing the gash in his forehead from the fight he just had.

"And you're bleeding! Oh dust, what am I going to do with you..." Blake said before she helped up her team leader to help him to the infirmary, sending both of the bother members a message telling them to meet them there as soon as possible.

Beacon Academy infirmary – Early Afternoon

When the raven haired partners arrived, Charlie was taken in for examination while Ozpin asked him a few question about how this even happened. They were simple enough to answer, and he told Ozpin all he knew. Sure, it wasn't much but it was all he could remember. After Ozpin left, he told the leader of CRWN that he would let him know if any information surfaced. Taking his leave, that left Charlie and his teammates to wonder what happened. Taking the opportunity, he asked both Weiss and Blake to go grab some food. When the monochrome duo left, this left the two siblings alone. With this, he took the time he'd been given to ask the important question.

"Hey Ruby, I have an important question and I need you to answer honestly." Charlie said

"Yeah, sure, what is it?" Ruby's tone was one of apprehension, not sure what was going to be asked of her.

"Is there anyone that you like? Anyone that makes your heart skip a beat? Someone you love?" the older brother asked as he sat up.

Looking away, the younger redhead's face turned a red that rivaled both her namesake and her cloak. Looking up at her older brother, he had a look of absolute seriousness. It wasn't a look adorned by the man very often, but when it was there he was being serious. Dead serious.

"I'm not going to tease you, Rubes. I genuinely want to know. If there's anyone out there, I want to kno-"

"It's Weiss!"

A moment of silence came over the room, only broken by the small chuckle let out my the team leader.

"I had a feeling you'd say that." Charlie spoke after awhile.

"What do you mean?" the younger redhead said.

Pointing to the door, Ruby turned around to see Weiss and Blake, the former with tears brimming her eyes.

"Why don't you two go back to the room and talk. You two seem to need it now. We'll be back once they get back with the test results." the leader said as he waved the white-rose pair off.

There, that should solve Weiss's problem. Now what about the other one. Charlie's thoughts were cut off abruptly when Blake grabbed the team leader in a hug. Nothing to tight, but close enough that he wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

When the hug was ended, Charlie noticed Blake was silently crying into his shoulder. Well that won't do.

"What's with the tears? I'm still here and in one piece." Charlie said before Blake cut him off.

"You shouldn't have fought her. You don't know what she's capable of. It could have gone a lot worse if I didn't intervene. How would Ruby feel if she learned that her older brother was killed by some lunatic? You can't always fight by yourself. You have a team for a reason." she turned to grab the food they grabbed and gave him a styrofoam container.

"You really do know the way to my heart." Charlie quipped.

"Through your stomach?" Blake responded coyly.

"Exactly." Charlie spoke bluntly, as if it were the simplest thing in the world.

After a while, Charlie was discharged from the infirmary and the two black hunters strolled back to the dorms. The injuries to the hunter were minimal, garnering a mild concussion and fractured ribs that would keep him out of classes for the next couple weeks. Sure it sucked, but Blake was fortunate that all he sustained were a few minor injuries. If they were any worse, it would be a bad time for the man in black.

When the two arrived back their dorm, they opened the door to see the white-rose pair asleep in the heiress's bed. Looking on and pulling out his scroll, the older brother went to snapping pictures of the sleeping couple.

"Oh, she's never going to live this down! This is golden!" The man in black laughed hysterically as he continued.

"Alright, that's enough. Let the two sleep." the Faunus spoke calmly as she led the leader to his bed,

"It's okay Blake, I can manage myself just fine." he said as he tried to climb up to his bunk, only to get lightheaded as he tried to make the ascent.

"Nope, okay. You're not going up their tonight." Blake said as she dragged the leader off the top bunk.

"Well okay then, madam, where do you expect me to sleep?" Charlie asked as Blake simply pointed to the bottom bunk.

"You're kidding right? You can't be serious, right?" Charlie deadpanned.

"Charles Alexander, bed. Now." Blake spoke with a tone she almost never used. She only used it when she was being deadly serious or seriously pissed. It was hard to tell which it was at the moment, but it didn't matter when the leader took off his jacket and put on a blue tank top with a logo on the front and some writing on the back. When the black haired huntsman finally laid down, Blake joined him as she read while the man next to her drifted off to sleep.

The Next Morning

Despite being told he couldn't participate in classes due to his injuries, Charlie still wanted something to do. Watching anime and old wrestling pay-per-views could only get him so far before he grew bored. With this, he walked his way to Ozpin's office and knocked on the door. Knowing the dance was coming up in a few weeks, he asked how to planning was going.

"Just dreadful, the entertainment we hired had to cancel now we're scrambling to find a replacement." Ozpin spoke as he shifted through papers on his desk. An idea spawned in the head of Charlie and he asked a simple question.

"You need a replacement? I'll do it. As long as I can get credit for the classes I missed. Do we have a deal, Headmaster?" Charlie extended his hand to which Ozpin agreed and sent the huntsman on his way. Coming back into the empty room, he sat at his desk and started thinking of ideas. He knew he was a good singer, but he needed more people to play instruments. So he started making calls and arranging people.

"Why didn't I think of this before? I'm a bloody genius!" the black haired huntsman said before he started laughing. This was a good idea, now all he needed to do was execute his new plan.

A/N: Okay so quick question. Would you guys like to see a story like CRWN but with the entire Team RWBY? Let me know in the reviews, I really want to know. I'd like to write it if that's what you guys would like.
