Chapter 4: The Day & Decision
After the Weekend, Vale, Afternoon
Peter is walking around the city ,with his armor on, thinking about Blake. He already had two long days to figure out what to say to Blake and he couldn't come up with anything that doesn't make him look stupid in front of her. 'You had two days, Peter! TWO...FUCKING...DAYS!,' Peter thinks to himself, ' And I still haven't figured out what to say to her! I'm hopeless!' Peter has also been patrolling for crime the entire two days as well, only noticing a bit of suspicion in the loading docks of the city but no action has been taken. Meanwhile, Caleb & Hanna have been sightseeing and stayed at Peter's Apartment for the weekend.

During her enrollment at Signal, she met Caleb Kinz along with Peter Wayde Lawrence when they arrived a few weeks earlier.

Coffee Shop
As Peter is walking in the streets, he walks into a coffee shop to think more easier but, just a few seconds later, Caleb and Hanna arrive as well. "Hey, Pete," Hanna speaks, "You're here too?" Peter nods. Hanna smiles at him, "Well, it's a good thing cause I'm leaving today." Caleb and Hanna sit in the table with Peter. Caleb asks, "So...what you been doing?" "The same thing. Patrolling. The only thing I noticed the entire weekend was in the loading docks. Probably another bust. A bigger bust." Caleb attempts to calm him down, "Dude, calm down, enjoy the time." Peter still seemed worried. Hanna talks, "Are you okay, Pete?" Peter was about to say something when he notices two girls walking in.
One of them was Weiss Schnee. "Whoa," Caleb says, "that's her." Peter says to him sarcastically, "Thanks, I wouldn't have known." The blond girl next to her asked the store clerk, "Hey, have you seen a girl with black clothes and ribbon?" Peter suddenly showed interest in the question and Hanna noticed this, "Peter?" Peter didn't respond as the clerk answered that he hadn't. The blonde girl replies, "OK then." The two girls walk off but Peter says something, "Are you two looking for someone?" Both girls faced Peter and his friends. Weiss responds, "Yeah. Our teammate...[notices Hanna]..oh! Hey, Hanna." Hanna waves at her as Caleb says in excitement, "You know, Weiss?" Peter just glared at him but then talked, "What she look like?" The blonde says, "She's a cat faunus. She wears a black ribbon to hide her ears." She whispered that sentence. "Smart," Peter replies, "but I haven't seen her. Sorry." Caleb looks at Peter but Peter made a 'just play along' expression. Peter say, "But if I find her, I'll tell you when I find you again." The blond girl responded, "It's okay we're fine, thanks anyway." The blonde and Weiss, who looked uninterested in the search, leave. Peter starts talking, "That's Blake alright." Hanna looks at him in confusion, "Wait? How do you know?" "She was his girlfriend," Caleb quickly replies which causes Hanna's jaw to drop. Peter speaks, "Yeah, it's a long story. But I need to talk to her." Hanna asks, "About what," to which Peter responds with a sigh. Caleb knew what he meant, "You have no idea." "I don't, okay. But I have to let her know that I'm still alive. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to find her." Peter then leaves. Hanna and Caleb look at each other in confused looks. Caleb speaks, "Here's hoping he finds her."
Night, Loading Docks
Peter has been looking for Blake all day and still no sight. 'Blake where are you? Please, just come out.' Peter accidentally arrives at the loading docks. As he heads there, he sees Sun and Blake on top of warehouse. 'I hope Sun isn't talking about me.' Just before he could call them, a small aerial transport is seen approaching the docks. 'What in the world?' Peter hides behind a container and sees the ship land. White Fang troopers start to exit the ship. 'Wait for it...' "HEY! What's the hold up," shouted Roman Torchwick as he exited the ship. 'There he is. The orange shithead himself.' As he plans an attack, a troop who had arrived at the docks, sneaks behind and holds a gun to the back of Peter's head, "damn it." The troop was about to speak when Peter grabs his arm, breaks it, covers his mouth and bangs his head to the container. As he finishes off the troop he hears from Torchwick, "WHAT THE..! Oh for fu..." Then...
"Nobody move!"
Peter recognized the voice and peeked to see Blake holding Roman hostage. 'OH...MY...GOD! It's her.' All Peter could do is just freeze in seeing her again. The moment was suddenly broken by the arrival of two more ships. "CRAP!" This came from Peter as suddenly he hears an explosion and Blake flying backwards. "YOU...SON OF A BITCH!" Roman looks to see Peter equipping his weapon. Roman speaks, "Well, well. If it isn't the Shadow Man himself. Pleasure to meet you." Peter responds, "Pleasure is mine. Now get out!" "I would love to but I don't like leaving empty-handed." "Of fucking course you don't." Roman spoke his order to the troops, "Kill him. The girl is mine!" Roman begins to head towards the direction Blake went flying as the troops close in on Peter. Peter says, "Dude, just shoot me!" The troops were about to but Peter shots his SMG's, killing three, "Too Slow!" Peter runs as the troops fire on him and hides behind a different container.
The troops follow him but Peter pops out of the corner, breaks a guy's arm and kicks him toward the others. Peter opens fire as all the troops are decimated except for four others as they take cover. "Just die already! Saves everyone a lot of time," Peter insults the troops. The four troops pull out their swords. "Okay, I'll play that game." Peter's weapon transformers from an SMG into a sword. The troops sprint toward Peter, as does he toward the troops. The troops slash at him but he slides underneath and cuts the legs of two troops. "OVER HERE!" The troops sprint/limp and attack as Peter blocks the attacks. He kicks one guy back as Pete drives his sword through one guys heart. "OK, I'm done!" He then transforms the other sword, shoots and kills an incoming attacker. He pushes the impaled troop from his sword. One guy sprints toward Pete, but he just shoots the attacker in the head. Peter looks to see a container from a crane fall. "I hope she's okay.." Before he could move to find Blake, the remaining troop slashes Peter but only manages to hit his sword. "SON OF A..." Peter aimlessly slashes the guy's arm off. The troops lets out a cry of pain and yells at Peter, "You MOTHER..." Peter is prepared to decapitate him but the troop says, "This isn't the end of it! We'll be coming for you. That's what Cinder wants. She wants you DEAD!" Suddenly, he is cut off as his head is separated from his body, courtesy of Peter. " FUCK...HER," Peter says furiously at the dead trooper's head. He hears another explosion as he runs to see what happened.
Peter comes in just in time to see Penny. 'What is she doing here!' He notices knives rotating behind her before they are launched at the troops. Peter stood, jaw dropped. He saw two ships leaving but not before one is cut in half like a knife through butter. "How is she doing that," Peter asks himself. Peter looked up to see the other ship. Without thinking, Peter jumps up a bunch of containers to jump into the ship. He lands inside as troops look at him saying, "Hello there!" Peter takes out his weapon as do they. Suddenly, they jolted out of balance. "What in the flying..!?" Peter loses balance that he is knocked off his feet and hangs by the side of the ship. "Crap, crap, crap! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?" He looks around him and sees strings attached to knives which are attached to the ship which come from...Penny. "WHOA! How is she doing this, seriously?" He looks down to see the ground getting rapidly closer. Without a second thought, he jumps as a fireball launches him toward some containers. "SON OF A BITCH!" Peter lands on the container, leaving it a man sized mark. "That's gonna leave mark," Peter says with his face in the container. He gets free as he sees the bodies and destruction in their wake. He looks to see Sun, Blake, Penny and the girl in red.
Peter is standing next to a building ,in the dark, facing the group. 'OK, Peter, this is it. Just go out there and...and...fuck, I can't! Yes, you can you motherfucker! I have to. I've waited so long for this. I'm not giving this moment away.' He is having a tough time of whether or not to approach her. Peter looks to see Weiss and the blonde girl approaching the girl. The red girl is seen talking with Weiss but she just heads toward Blake. 'If that little... I mean, Weiss insults her...I better listen in.'
Peter sneaks to a dark alleyway, close enough to listen in. He hears Weiss, "Do you have any idea of how long we've been searching for you? (pause) Twelve hours. That means I've had twelve hours to think about this. And in that twelve hours, I've decided..." 'Here we go.' But the answer was one that he didn't expect. "I don't care." The groups and Peter were surprised by this answer. 'What?' "You said you're not one of them anymore, right?" 'SHE QUIT?! Oh thank god!' Peter was relieved to learn his girl left the White Fang. Weiss continued, "All I want to know is that the next time something this big comes up, you come to your teammates and not some...[looks at Sun] someone else." 'Wow! Never expected that from Weiss.' Peter even saw Blake wiping off a tear. The girl in red celebrated, "YAY! Team RWBY is back together!"
'Team RWBY huh? No wonder they were looking for her...Wait a minute, where's Penny?' He had noticed the orange haired girl was gone before anyone else. "How did.." Pete accidentally causes something to fall behind him. 'Oh, Shit!' He hides in the darkness and peeks to see the group looking at where the noise came from. '"Crap." Blake is heard, "I'll check it out." "Double Crap." Peter knew she was coming, 'Oh god! Peter run, run...wait NO! Don't run! This is my chance! There she is! Go talk to her. Don't care what happens. She's your girlfriend...was, is, doesn't matter! You wanted her and there she is! Go! GO NOW!' Peter took a silent deep breath and whispered, "World... screw you. (pause) Blake, here I come."
Blake is now a bit deep in the alleyway as Peter silently approaches her. Pete readies his arm protection in case he startled her. Peter walks silently behind her. He decided to make it dramatic so a foot away from her, he causes a hear-able step. Blake reacted as she took her weapon, slashed back and hit Peter's pad, but he grabbed Blake's arm. Blake looked at him, unsure of who he is, "Who are you?" Peter responded, "You remember me, don't you? We knew each other. I loved you and I love you still. You're a faunus but I didn't care. You were beautiful. (chuckles) You're even more beautiful now." Peter lowered her arm, glided his hand up her arm till it reached her check. Blake put her hand on his arm as she looked into his eyes and remembered her young lover, "Peter?" Peter smiled and nodded. Blake smiled as a tear could be seen. Suddenly, Blake was hugging him, "God! I've missed you." Blake began tearing up as Peter wiped them away, "So did I." Suddenly, both their lips came together. After that Blake asked him, "Why are you here?" Peter responded, "I was..searching for you. My life went to total crap.." "Because of me." "Please, it wasn't your felt. It was mine... I should have stopped you." Blake looked at him, "I left because I knew that a human and a faunus dating will cause our relationship to be frowned upon." "I knew. I did. I didn't care. I wanted to be your lover, your husband, your protector. I still want to but... I don't think you want to anymore." Blake replies, "Of course I do!" Blake's hand touched Peter's hand. Peter responded, "I wanted to see you one last time but... I want to see you forever now." Blake smiled, "You still can," and kisses Peter. They share a long embracing kiss before...
"Aww."
Peter and Blake looked to see the red girl behind them, "Blake, I didn't know you had a boyfriend." They heard, "He does" from none other then Caleb, with Hanna at his side. Peter face-palmed, "Are you guys, serious?" "Yep," both say in unison. Blake laughs a bit, "Peter, that's Ruby Rose. She's the team leader, believe it or not." Ruby waved at Peter as he does so in return. Peter then speaks, "And that's Caleb Kinz, my friend. And..." Blake cuts him off, "Hanna Jule Monroe. She attends the academy with me." Peter looked a bit embarrassed, evident by his face turning red. "So..uh...don't you think we can plan something," Peter asks Blake to which she responds, "I don't know. The next time we can meet is at the Vytal festival but that's pretty much it." Peter looked disappointed, "Oh..okay..I get it...school and stuff." Then he remembered something, "Caleb, you still have the letter?" Blake, Ruby, and Hanna are confused, "Letter?" Caleb answered, "Yeah, Ozpin sent us a letter of enrollment. Guess his career as a vigilante payed off." Suddenly, Ruby asked in joy, "Wait, Peter, your the Shadow Man?" "Yeah, I am." Ruby suddenly was unconscious on the floor. "Well this went a bit differently," Peter says as Blake, Caleb and Hanna laugh a bit. Caleb then speaks, "So are we..." Peter responds, "Yep, we are. Blake, when's the next transport to Beacon?" "In an hour or so?" Peter thinks for a second and looks at Caleb, "Caleb, let's pack. We're going." "FUCK YEAH!" Blake, Hanna and Peter raised and eyebrow. "My bad."
Unknown Warehouse
Roman Torchwick is in the warehouse talking on the phone. "Look, what was I suppose to do?! Look he was there! I wasn't just gonna go up and...okay...FINE I WILL!" The phone hang up as Roman is completely frustrated. "How am I suppose to..." "Kill the Shadow Man." Roman looked behind to see Cinder behind him with two other accomplices. "Whoa, hey!" Roman looked surprised at her unexpected arrival. Cinder speaks, "I seem to be a bit disappointed by what little you've accomplished." "Hey, it ain't my fault that I'm working with the White Fang! And whenever we encounter the Shadow Man, he ends up fucking everything up! We can't beat him!" Cinder shook her head, "You can't physically beat him, but have you tried mentally, breaking him?" "Huh? What are you talking about" Cinder begins to walk around him, "Roman, Roman, Roman. In order to kill a weed, you pull from the root." Roman looked fearful at her as Cinder gives him an advice, "So, find...his...ROOT. The thing he holds dear to his heart. AND PULL."
