A/N: Well…it's certainly been a while.

Sorry this took so long. Life happened and I had other stories to deal with. And this chapter turned out to not be a short omake. Oh well.

Anyway, let's get rolling!

Aura with Glynda Goodwitch

Glynda wasn't having a good day.

On top of all the paperwork that came with being a teacher and assistant to the Headmaster, she now had to investigate the attacks on three members of Team RWBY: Ruby, Weiss, and Blake.

They were each in the infirmary, unconscious at the moment and possibly needing rest for quite a while due to concussions.

Having to calm down an irate Yang Xiao Long wasn't much fun either.

Glynda had been told by the nurse that the three girls had been brought in by a random student. Figuring that this student had seen the attacker, she asked for the student's name….

Only the nurse didn't know who it was, nor did she have a file on the boy.

…

…

…

Wonderful. Not only did she have to find the attacker, but she had to deal with an unknown student on school grounds.

This day just keeps getting better and better.

BEEP! BEEP!

Glynda pulled out her scroll to check the message she received. Apparently there was a visitor in the Headmaster's office. And since Ozpin was currently out, Glynda would have to deal with the visitor.

Glynda massaged her temples.

Today was just not her day.

Glynda impatiently tapped her foot as the elevator rose to the Headmaster's office. She planned on making sure that whatever business was to be had would be taken care of quickly.

The elevator doors opened and she stepped into the clockwork office. Her eyes scanned the room for whoever she was to meet…only to find no one. Though she did notice the Headmasters seat facing away from her.

She frowned. "If you are in the Headmaster's seat, I highly suggest getting off it before I remove you."

A chuckle came from the seat. "It's about bloody time someone showed up."

The seat turned to reveal a man in a formal black suit. He looked well-built and had a full clean shaven beard.

In all honesty, both were taken aback with each other.

Glynda couldn't help but (inwardly) admit that the man before her looked rather…handsome.

Barrett, in turn, found the woman before him rather…attractive.

Both shook their heads in the hopes the other didn't notice the staring.

Barrett stood from the headmaster's chair and cleared his throat.

"So…you're the one I'm speaking to."

"Correct," Glynda nodded. "Now, I'm rather busy at the moment, so let's get to it. What business do you have at Beacon?"

"Straight to the point," Barrett smirked. "I like that in a woman."

Glynda scowled, yet pink dusted her cheeks. "Why are you here?"

"Right, right. Well first off, the names Bad News Barrett."

"Glynda Goodwitch."

She doesn't seem anything like the Good Witch from the Wizard of Oz.

"Quite the name…I'm here because word is you and the Headmaster are dealing with forces that are conspiring against the Kingdoms."

"How do you kn-?"

"I keep an open ear," Barrett half-lied. "Now, you're looking for those who are working with Torchwick and the White Fang, correct?"

Glynda nodded.

"Well…." Barrett pulled out a file. "I happen to have their names…and photos to identify them."

Glynda eyed the file before looking at Barrett. "How can I be sure what you have is valid?"

"Oh, it's valid."

Glynda stared at him…before reaching for the file.

"Ah, ah, ah." Barrett pulled the file away. "I require something first before I can give you the information."

Glynda scowled. "And what might that be?"

Barrett smirked. "Oh, it's nothing big, like money or whatever people ask for. You see, what I'm asking for is something rather simple." He caressed her cheek with his hand. "Something you can actually give me right now, actually."

Glynda visibly blushed. He wasn't going to ask if-

"I want you to unlock my Aura."

…Oh. Glynda thought he'd ask for…never mind what she thought. Also, let the record show that she'd never admit she was disappointed he didn't ask for what she thought he would ask.

"May I ask why you want this in exchange?"

"Well…." Barrett chewed his lip. "Think of it in the sense that we mutually benefit from this. You get the names of the "bad guys" in exchange for something as simple as unlocking one's Aura. It's a win-win, really."

Glynda had to admit: he was right. A simple task for much needed information was indeed win-win.

And yet….

"Why couldn't you have your Aura unlocked before by someone else?"

Barrett paused to think of a convincing lie. "…Let's just say my parents never approved."

Hopefully she bought it.

"…I see."

Looks like she did.

"But again, how can I be sure your information is valid?"

Barrett thought that one over…and decided he needed to take a gamble.

"Tell you what? I'll give you the information and you decide if these people are worth investigating, which I'm sure you will since the people have already infiltrated the academy."

Glynda looked surprised.

"And if you find this warrants investigation, then you unlock my Aura. If not, then obviously I've wasted your time and you can kindly kick me out."

Barrett waved the file in front of her. "Well?"

…

…

…

She gave him a pointed look. "If I find you've wasted my time, I'll send you flying out the window…this window right here in fact." She gestured to the window to her right (Barret's left).

Barrett chuckled nervously. "Well…good thing this won't be a waste of your time."

He opened the file and placed four separate photos with sticky notes that contained a name.

"Here they are," Barrett revealed. "Cinder Fall, Emerald Sustrai, Mercury Black, and Neopolitan."

She looked over the photos…yes. She recognized two of the students, Mercury and Emerald. Something about the Cinder woman seemed familiar, yet when it came to the fourth one….

"I'm afraid I don't recognize this Neopolitan," Gynda said.

Barrett chuckled. "Of course you wouldn't. Not with her disguise and all."

"What?"

Barrett flipped the photo to reveal another photo, this one of the student she recognized: a short girl with black ponytails and green eyes.

"You see, her Semblance has something to do with illusions. She disguises herself as this, while she actually-." Barrett flips the photo back and gestures to the ice cream themed girl in it. "-looks like this. Fun fact, some of your students have come into contact with this woman during their…excursions."

Oh, Glynda could already guess which students he was referring to.

"Another fun fact…you and one of those students, a Ruby Rose, actually came across this Cinder woman before the school year."

Glynda raised an eyebrow. "Did we?"

"Yes…when you first met Miss Rose, I believe. You fought this woman that night."

Was that right? Glynda took a careful look at the picture of Cinder Fall. There wasn't really anything to compare to the woman she fought that night, especially since Glynda didn't get a good look at that woman's face….

No, wait. Those eyes…those fiery eyes. That she remembered. And this "Cinder" had the same eyes.

Not exactly something concrete, but….

"Alright," Glynda admitted. "This does warrant some investigating."

Barrett grinned and clapped his hands together. "Wonderful. Looks like I won't be flung out the window."

"Indeed…such a shame."

"…I'm sure you don't mean that."

"Believe what you will."

Barrett cleared his throat and changed topic. "Right, well if that's all in order, I believe you should keep your end of the bargain."

Glynda sighed. "Right…unlocking your Aura. If you would close your eyes, hold still, and concentrate…"

He did so as Glynda placed one hand on Barrett's cheek and the other on his chest. Both blushed for different reasons: Barrett because her hands were on him…and the one on his cheek felt warm, and Glynda because she could feel the muscle despite the suit. She began to recite a chant.

"For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this, we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all, infinite in distance and unbound by death. I release your soul, and by my shoulder protect thee."

Barrett glowed for a few moments while Glynda hunched slightly, as though tired. He opened his eyes and noticed her current state.

"Are you alright?" He asked, concerned for some reason as he held out a hand.

Glynda nodded, waving the hand away as she stood. "Yes, I'm fine. I unlocked your Aura using my own, which can be tiring. But the energy that protects you is your own."

Barrett looked at his hands, amazed at the glow until it disappeared.

Imagine if I wrestled with my Aura active.

Barrett would be unstoppable…but that was for another time.

Right now….

"So what now?"

"Now," Glynda responded, turning away to leave. "You may take your leave while I investigate these four "supposed" students."

She still had another unknown student to deal with, as well as an assailant, but if these four "students" were involved with Torchwick and the White Fang, they needed to be dealt with immediately.

Barrett subtly followed Glynda, rearing his elbow. "Actually, you might not be able to act on the information just yet."

She turned back to him. "And why wou-?"

POW!

The disciplinarian never got to finish her question, for Bad News Barrett delivered a Bull Hammer to her head, effectively knocking her unconscious.

He knelt down and smirked. "Because you're currently unconscious, Miss Goodwitch."

He paused. "…Bollocks, I didn't use my catchphrase." He shrugged. "Oh well, the moment is lost now."

He stood up and walked to the elevator. As he was about to push the call button….

"…Damn it."

He went back and scooped up Glynda bridal-style and walked to the Headmaster's chair. Barrett carefully sat her on the seat in a comfortable position. As he did, he realized he was quite close to Glynda. He took note of how peaceful she looked.

Damn it, Barrett! You can't think like that!

Even so, he couldn't resist brushing her hair behind her ear, marveling at her beauty.

He suddenly found himself leaning towards her-

"Am I interrupting something?"

Embarrassed, Barrett immediately straightened and turned to the sound of the voice. It belonged to the student who showed up whenever Barrett knocked someone out. The same student that was apparently not a real student and was here for unknown reasons.

Not that Barrett knew this. He simply thought he was just that: a student.

"It not what it looks like," Barrett attempted to defend himself.

"Really?" the "student" sarcastically asked. "Because it looked like you were trying to steal a kiss from Miss Goodwitch there while she was unconscious." He hummed. "Didn't think you were into woman with the librarian look."

"I-I wasn't trying to do anything!" Barrett denied a little too hastily. "I was just…uh…making sure she sat comfortably! Yeah, that's it!"

The "student" clearly didn't believe him. "Right~."

Barrett pulled out his mallet. "Want me to bonk you on the head again?"

The "student" raised his hands in mock surrender. "Alright, alright. I'll drop it."

"Good."

Barrett put away the mallet and made for the elevator. He paused near the "student"…pulled out the mallet and bonked him three times.

"Ow, ow, ow! What the hell?! I dropped the matter!"

"I didn't get to use my catchphrase," Barrett shrugged.

He entered the elevator and the doors closed taking him to his destination.

Meanwhile, the "student" gazed at the unconscious Glynda.

"Looks like you'll be out for quite a while." He grinned. "Good thing too. Can't have you interfering just yet."

And like that, the "student" disappeared in a flash of light, leaving an unconscious Glynda alone.

A/N: And there you go! Barrett has an Aura, which means he'll be able to better deal with Yang and the other people he confronts. Does this mean he'll have a Semblance? Yes, but considering how discovering one's Semblance takes time...not sure it'll be a thing. Perhaps in the sequel-

Whoops, wasn't supposed to say that, especially this early.

Also…did I just hint at Barrett/Glynda? Perhaps. Was it just for fun, or will it be a thing? Who knows? I do, but nothing's concrete. Hell, it could be Glynda, Raven (not really) Winter, Cinder, or Neo (I believe she's older than she looks).

Then again, I could just leave it as teases and not pair Barrett with anyone. The way this story's meant to be, a pairing seems highly unlikely….

Oh well, depends where my writing takes me.

Anyway, if you haven't already, be sure to follow and fav for future updates. Leave a review to tell me what you think of the chapter. If you have an idea as to a possible Semblance for Barrett, leave that in a review as well. And be sure to check out my other stories if you have time to kill, such as my RWBY/Halloween crossover "The Night They Met HIM!"

Yes…Halloween. As in Michael Myers. Fun times ahead for Team RWBY there.

Well, that's all for now. See you in the next update!

LATERS!
