On a quiet afternoon, Velvet was in full few of watching Sienna prepare her quite unusual meal. While the bunny sat by her salad in awe of what she was witnessing, the tiger was throwing a multitude of different meats in a blender. Once the jug was full, she blended the concoction into a fine mess of clumps, then moved them onto the stove for a nice searing session. Once the concoction was brought to a fine brown, Sienna compacted it into a tortilla and joined Velvet at the table. However before the tiger could dig in she barked, "What?"
"What in the world, is that thing?" Velvet murmured.
"Its my lunch, what does it look like?"
"Eggs, fish, chicken, lamb and...Do I smell beef, I thought you were against eating that one."
"I was, but now I just don't care anymore. More meat the better."
"I don't think you cooked some of those things long enough."
"You know something, I don't much care what you think. You're eating a salad. You're eating the food that can't fight back. Meat allows me to absorb the essence of the animals and makes me stronger."
"VELVET HAS A POINT THOUGH," Blake called out from the living room. The two ladies turned to the direction of the call and saw the cat Faunus on the couch with her head turned to their direction, "Fish is one thing, but something like chicken has to be cooked all the way through. Even for predatory Faunus like us."
"If you wish to lecture me, I'd prefer you come over here and say it to my face."
"I would, but...I'm kinda stuck here."
"Alright enough, I don't care what you two say I'm digging into thi-"
"MOTHER," Sienna was then interrupted by her child Ajit. Ajit had the same eyes, hair and skin tone as his mother. His Faunus trait, however, gave him retractable claws in his fingers, making him a destructible little rascal. He wore a brown sweater vest with a yellow jagged strip, a white dress shirt underneath, and black slacks. He stood next to his brother Winston, a pale skin boy with white well kept hair and solid blue eyes. Winston wore a solid blue vest, with a white dress shirt underneath and navy blue slacks. Ajit continued, "Despite my brother's wishes, the recent events have necessitated me to inform you of the terrible misgivings that has bestowed upon one of my siblings. Peter has become the target of delinquency for the past week and a half and is in need of parental intervention."
"...What?"
Winston sighed, "Peter's being bullied at school."
Velvet jumped from her seat, covering her mouth, "Oh my god my poor baby."
"WHO IS HE," Sienna growled, "who is picking on one of our children?"
"One of the new Winchester kids that moved here about a month ago," Winston answered, "We were at the park this mourning and the Winchester twins happened to be there, they apparently live a few houses down from us."
"Winchester?" The bunny quivered, "As in Cardin Winchester?"
"I think that was their father's name, yes."
"Of course it was his kid picking on my little boy, I can't believe any woman with any self respect would procreate with that monster."
"This Cardin fellow sounds like a real piece of work," The tiger woman commented.
"He's the worst, I'm going to go talk with my baby."
"Good, I'll go rally all the other parents into the kitchen and we can discuss how we're going to handle this. Starting with you Blake, get over here now."
"Yeah I would," Blake moaned, "But I'm kinda stuck here. Don't think I'm not upset about this because I am."
"Okay what the hell is going on," Sienna growled while stomping into the living area, "What could possibly keep you stationary at a time like-"
Sienna was silenced at the beautiful sight. There she witnessed the little boy Shade, curled up in a little ball, sleeping on his mother's lap. Blake had a book in her hand, but paid it no mind as she stroked her son's hair. "Yeah sorry," The cat girl hushed.
"Well then," Sienna yielded, "Forget what I said, feel free to sit tight."
In the bathroom, we find the smaller bunny Faunus attempting to cut his own hair in an efforts to remove the gum stuck within it. Only to be halted by his mother rushing in, "PETER," she cried, "What happened?"
"Oh uh, this? I uh...Fell. Yeah I just tripped and fell into it, you see this gum was on the ground and-"
"Peter no, I know someone's been picking on you."
"You do?"
"I don't understand, why would you tell your brothers not to say anything?"
"Well...Because, it's not a big deal. I'm just toughing it out you know. Sam is actually really cool."
"It's not cool and we're putting an end to this. Your father and I went through the same thing you're going through years ago and I won't let this happen to you anymore. Now come downstairs, we're going to discuss this as a family.
As the two made their way downstairs, they overhear a brief, "Let's just break his legs, that'll show that little turd."
Jaune groaned, "Nora that's your solution to everything."
"It would work wouldn't it, tell me it wouldn't work."
"Good point, I second Nora's suggestion," Sienna added.
"NO! We're not going to assault a child."
"Fine, then we'll get our children to do it, there's eleven of them and only two Winchester kids. The odds are in our favor"
"WHOA now. Slow down Sienna," Pyrrha interjected, "I don't believe we should organize our children as some kind of militant force."
"This does beg the question though," Cinder hushed, "If Peter's been picked on for the past week and a half, why are none of our children standing up for him? I've very disturbed by this fact."
"Hey that's a good point," Yang replied, "I'm gonna give Yin a piece of my mind."
"STOP! No," Peter bellowed, "It's not their fault, I told them not to do anything."
"Why though, why would you tell them to do that," Yang lectured, "Why wouldn't you want them to have your back, I always had Ruby's back when we were growing up."
"And why wouldn't you tell us, your parents," Blake called out from the living area, "I'm still part of this by the way, don't think I'm not."
"Because...It's," Peter stammered, "...Just not a big deal."
"Okay we're done listening to you," Yang declared, "Anyone else have any ideas?"
"I say we revisit the leg breaking idea," Nora answered while Neo held up a bat.
"NO ONE IS BREAKING ANY LEGS," Jaune asserted.
"Guys please," Ruby interjected, "I think we're missing some big things here. I know we all agreed on this group parenting thing, but at the end of the day, Peter is still Jaune and Velvet's kid and in Beacon both Jaune and Velvet were the subject of Cardin's bullying. So whatever decision either of them make, I say we support it."
"I wanna break Cardin's legs," Velvet immediately shot back.
"WHAT! No," The father groaned, "Honey, we don't have to do that. Now look, we're adults now, which means we have to handle things the adult way."
"...Fine. Peter sweetie, You know where they live right?"
"...Yes," The little boy reluctantly answered, "I saw them leave their house while we were at the park. I can show you guys there."
"Great. Jaune you're coming with me while I give that man a piece of my mind."
Immediately afterwards we find a steaming Velvet with a reluctant father and son outside of the presumed bully's house. The bunny girl spent the entire walk over remembering every bit of torment Cardin put her through, however once the door flung open the family was greeted by an unexpected ginger. "Oi Jaune...Velvet? My...Wha-Wot are you two doing here?"
"Scarlet?" Jaune murmured, "What are YOU doing here?"
"I live here, you silly goose. Now really wot are you two doing here?"
"Uh-I'm sorry," Velvet stammered, "We were actually looking for the Winchester residence."
"Well you found it, come on in."
The two parents looked at each other perplexed then complied as they and their son entered the home. Scarlet directed the three into the dinning area as he shouted, "Honey, we got company."
"Alright I'll be right over." A voice called out. Then shortly there he was, the man who tormented both Jaune and Velvet, walked in wearing a white tank top and sweat pants and was utterly baffled by the visit, "Oh my god, Jaune...Velvet. It's been...So long."
"You two live together?" The blonde knight asked.
"Indeed we do," Scarlet answered while holding up one of his hands, revealing a wedding ring. "Three years and two wonderfully adopted children later."
"Wow, I...Did not expect this." The bunny girl admitted.
Cardin sat down with them and explained, "Yeah well, after Beacon I came to realize I had a lot of anger stored up and I took it out on others and now well, I came to terms with a certain side of myself and I'm very much happy now."
"I don't know what to say." The bunny girl gasped, astonished by her bully's transformation.
"Well you can start with why you came to my house unannounced."
"Yeah they don't seem too keen in revealing that hahaaaa," Scarlet jested.
"Well," Jaune mumbled, "We came here because we found out your kid Sam was picking on our son Peter here."
"Oh my god," Scarlet cried.
Cardin turned around and Yelled "SAM! Get down here now."
What followed next was a small girl with short brown hair, wearing a purple shirt tank top, and a purple and black stripped skirt. She hesitated at the sight of the company, but immediately made her way to her fathers. "Sam have you been picking on this kid," Cardin inquired.
"...Maybe," She murmured.
"That's not okay Sam, apologize now."
"Okay, I'm sorry."
"Good, now go to your room. We'll finish this discussion later." The little girl complied and Cardin turned his attention to his guests, "I'm very sorry for that, I was a major jerk for years and I regret my actions everyday. I hope you two can forgive me for all the things I've done and I promise, I will personally make sure this never happens again."
"Wow, I," Velvet muttered, "That's really cool of you Cardin. I'm proud of the man you've become."
"Thank you and please, if you guys need anything at all, don't hesitate to ask."
"Will do," Jaune replied, "Thanks for having us."
A few minutes later, Sam sat quietly in her room, looking out the window, to watch Peter and his parents leave. She was then joined by her father Cardin, who asked, "Okay, you wanna explain why you've been picking on him."
"I don't know," She grumbled, "He just-" Sam fell silent as the little bunny kid looked back and saw her. In that moment, Sam quickly turned her head hiding her blush and Peter did the same.
