AN- First thank you to the reviewers of last chapter

Zeldawolffang- Lol don't worry, i'm sure you're not the only one. It's just a nickname that I thought would be funny for Hector to call Glynda. And let me tell ya, she does not like it one bit.

M0bz- Thanks, I didn't take that french class in high school for nothing.

Now it's time to stop sticking to the cannon so much and have Team HAMR do a little "Recon" mission outside of the proper authority. I don't like rewriting stuff you can just watch from the show, so time for this new made up arc to start!

RWBY: Team HAMR

Chapter 7- Secret mission (part 1)

After the whole me fixing the Jaune and Pyrrha situation earlier, the rest of that night went on without anything worth telling about. It is now early morning and I am about to put my plan into action! Or at least start it. It is currently six in the morning and I have the task of waking up my team, oh boy…

"Psst, Reggie? Wakey wakey." I quietly say in a soothing voice as I nudge Reggie. Whom of which is snuggling with Mike because that's still a thing. But they're in a funny position where Reggie is like halfway off the bed while Mike is holding on to his arm as if he is saving him from falling onto the floor.

"Mmm, aahah bah gh." Reggie incoherently responds as he stirs from his slumber. Luckily this guy is a light sleeper, which is ironic to me since his personality kinda gives off that heavy sleeper vibe.

"There ya go bud wake up." I move away from him just in case he thrashes about suddenly, while Reggie sleeps he unconsciously uses his semblance from time to time, so certain parts of his body can be metal while other parts are not.

"Boss?" Reggie calls out before yawning heavily. "What is it?"

"Fully wake up and I'll let you know what I wanna do, here I've prepared this cup of water to assist." I say as I hand him a cup of water.

Reggie takes the cup of water, inspects it a bit, shrugs, then pours it on his head, being careful that all the water lands on the floor and not on the bed.

"Well that's not what I had in mind but okay." I said with a shrug. Half expecting him to do that.

With a roll of his shoulders and the near ice cold water trailing down his face, Reggie shakes like a dog to dry himself and fully wakes up. "Whew, so what's up boss?" He asks with the usual grin on his face.

"How does a secret mission to capture the most renown crime boss in Remnant sound?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper.

"Oooo count me in! Mike is in to, but I can't help but think that we don't exactly have authorization do we?"

"Well… I'm the leader of this team so I give authorization for this mission. Don't tell anyone please." I plead.

"Ha! Like I'd turn down an adventure like this! The only one you gotta worry about is the angry girl behind you." Reggie warns with a flick of his chin to indicate that someone is behind me. And based off of his short description and the fact that only one girl lives in this room with us I know exactly who it is.

"Oh the bitch has awakened. Good, saves me the trouble of waking her up myself." I waved off his warning in a confident tone that masks the feeling of fear I instantly felt once I realized that my partner was standing angrily behind me.

SLAP

"OOOWWW, WHY!?" I whisper scream as I hold the throbbing pain in the back of my head. Yeah Ashley was not amused to say the least.

"That's what you get for calling me a bitch Dipshit!" Ashley whisper screams back.

The reason we are both whisper screaming is so we won't wake up anyone in the nearby dorms. But unluckily for Mike, he hears every word.

"You should not be offended! It's the literal definition of a female dog!"

"Oh so I'm a dog now huh?!"

"NO You are a female dog faunus, so I thought it would be clever! Where did you get that from?!"

"As much as I would love to listen to you two lovebirds argue, I would appreciate if you keep it down." Mike speaks up in a tired unamused voice.

"Cute, yeah I have a mission for us, and if Ash here behaves her I might bring her along!"

"Hmph." Ash turns away from me and sits back down on her bed. Surprisingly neither of us seemed to notice the little quip from Mike. Either that or we are now unaffected but the gay couples teasing now.

"Alright, now that everyone's awake, and calm, I want us to go on a secret mission -authorized by yours truly- to go after a certain crime lord. Because I'm bored as shit and it seems no one else is willing to do anything about it until he actually does something a little more… lethal." I explain my plan, getting more and more serious with every word.

In truth I just really want to at least change part of the future, I know if we actually capture Roman all that might change is him being able to hack into the security systems earlier then before. "But the real plan is not to go actually capture the bowl hat wearing crime boss per say," This confuses my team to a certain degree but let me continue. "See if we capture him, he's just going to escape one way or another. So I plan to tag him somehow, so we can track his movements while at the same time keep up with what he is doing." I have been thinking of this plan far before I was even on Remnant in the first place. "Sound good?"

My team is actually impressed with my strategic thinking, except there is one problem, "That is actually a solid sounding plan, but how exactly are we going to tag him?" Mike inquires, actually invested in something I am talking about for the first time.

"Well that's where my very smart teammates come in of course!" And this is where my plan needs a couple adjustments since, 'Run in there and destroy everything' isn't really smart in a situation where I could actually die.

"That's as far as you plan goes doesn't it." Ashley accuses.

"Well I did come up with it about last night-ish." I half lie, I decided to actually go through with it last night since my team, JNPR and RWBY absolutely refuse to believe me when I say I'm not from this world. I bet Ozpin smirks to himself every time they shut me down.

"Oh great, you want us to go on a mission on a barely halfway thought out-"

"That's sounds like so much fun though!" Reggie cuts Ashley off. Mike facepalms and I just laugh wholeheartedly at my wonderful teammates support.

"Instead of wasting time arguing with Ash here how about we plan out more of it on the field?" I suggest as I put on my fighting shirt as I have dubbed it.

"If we die I blame you." Ashley warns as she puts on her own fighting clothes, after entering the bathroom of course to avoid teasing from our lovely and adorable gay couple.

"If we die then we die, nothing really special would happen." I respond through the door.

Within minutes we are all geared up and ready to go. Honestly we look a little badass, all formed up like this, if only I had a weapon to go along with the rest of my team to complete the set.

"May Team HAMR's first mission… COMMENCE!" I whisper shout as I open the door to our room, only to be met by a stoic faced black cat faunus in hiding staring back at me with her amber eye's. "AH!" I yelp comedically as I jump back and into the arms of my partner. "Uh… Hi Blake, what has you awake this early in the morning?" I ask nonchalantly as I am being held by my reluctant teammate.

"Well I heard-"

"Would you get off of me already?!" Ashley cuts off Blakem and asks me as she pushes me off of her, I land on my feet and dust myself off of some of her hair that got stuck to my clothes.

"Well, I heard you guys talking about going of Torchwick, and I want to help." Blake continues and states her intentions right away. She is already in her huntress uniform and has her weapon sheathed on her hip. Now that I think about it I think we were supposed to keep our weapons in our lockers.

"Oh… You heard all of that." I state nervously as I scratch the side of my head.

"Well you weren't exactly quiet about it. And we do live next door to each other." Blake points out calmly. But despite her rather sounds statement I feel like her hidden faunus ears might have had something to do with it.

"So why are you the only one here if you all could have heard us as easily as you imply?" Mike questions, actually catching her off guard with his question.

"Well at least I'm not the only one here who noticed something off. Even though I already knew about her little secret."

"I just happened to be awake at the time." Blake comes up with a lame excuse. But I know how important it is for her for people to not know her faunus origins, so I come in for the rescue.

"Back to more important things, I assume nothing I can say or do would dissuade you into not coming with us?"

Blake looks to me and for a split second I could see a small smile on her face, before it returns to her usual straight face. "Not much no."

"Even the fact that your team is going to freak once they realize that you're not there in about two or three hours?"

"I'm sure they'll call one of you.

"Well then, since I realize that convince you NOT to come. Without any further adieu, I hereby name you the temporary fifth member of Team HAMR! Welcome to the team." I extend my hand out to shake hers to solidify our alliance.

Everyone can't help but at least crack a smile at my antics. Although accepting help from someone they've only known for a few weeks might not have been the smartest choice in their opinion, but if they knew what I knew I bet they would have done the same thing.

"I am honored to be an honorary member of your team." Blake says with a playful roll of her eyes.

"Alright, now that everything is settled and assuming there's no more surprises, let us begin." I announce, pumping my fist out to my newly formed team.

Reggie joins in on the team break that I am initiating, pulling Mike along with him and holding his fist in the team break as well, Ashley on the other hand absolutely refuses to do this.

"Please?" I plead, giving her the best puppy eyes I can muster up.

"No."

"Pretty please?" Puppy eyes intensifies.

"Stop it." It's super effective!

"What if I-"

"Don't finish that sentence and I'll... participate." Ashley finally relents.

I bring my fingers up to my lips and drag them across, as if I am zipping my mouth closed. Ashley rolls her eyes and places one finger on the huddle up. Now its Blake's turn. I look to the secret beside me and raise my eyebrows up and down, silently asking her to join in. Luckily she is not as difficult as Ashley and places one of her own fingers in the pile, right on top of Ashley's.

"One, two, three, HAMR! Alright I promise that is not the last time we'll be doing that." I say quickly as I am the first to pull away from the huddle up.

Now let's finally start this mission, with no more distractions or setbacks, we all make it to where the Bullheads pick us up and hop on, I don't know why the pilot didn't ask any questions, but I guess we're not the only huntsman in training to do something like this early in the morning on a Friday. He's probably just done with asking since it has probably happened so many times. Now that we are in the city, I realize another flaw in my plan… I've never been in Vale before.

"Alright this is where I need you guys and girls." I point out to the other superpowered teenagers behind me.

"Already?" Ashley asks, half surprised and half not surprised.

"Yeeeeaaaahhhh. I realize that I've never actually been down here before." I confess.

"You were planning to go after the most notorious crime lord in Remnant without even knowing the layout of the city you are searching for him for?" Blake questions, tilting her head at me in confusion.

"Ehhh, I mean, possibly." I answer vaguely. "But what are teams for?"

"You know what I just realized!?" All of a sudden Reggie gasps in surprise, and grabs his head with both like he just discovered aliens.

"What would that be bud?" I ask, still a little startled but more or less content with his sudden outburst.

"HAMR isn't a color." Reggie reveals with a goofy, toothy grin on his face. I bet he is so proud of himself for thinking of that.

"Pfft Hahaha." I couldn't keep it in any longer as I start giggling uncontrollably. "H-how?! How the absolute hell did you JUST realize that?!" I ask between laughs.

My laughing is contagious as Blake and Ashley actually join in on it, Mike is still doing his best at holding it in… that is until I wrap my arm around his shoulders and pull him into our little group.

"Mike… MIKE. This guy, this guy right here is your boyfriend. I just want you to know that." I say as I begin to run out of breath.

"I am well aware." Mike says, finally breaking into a small chuckling fit.

"And you Reggie." I say as I wrap my other arm around the shorter but bigger man. "You, are now my best friend." I declare.

"Thanks Boss!" Reggie exclaims happily, mistaking the fact that the whole time we were actually laughing at his stupidity.

"As hilarious as that was, I think we should get back on track." Blake the party pooper points out. Returning to her usual stoic personality.

"Alright Blakey just go ahead and ruin the fun." I sarcastically and playfully respond, wiping a tear of laughter from one of my eyes.

"Hmph." is all I get as a response. I think I got away with calling her Blakey since I am on her good side, I'm a nice guy after all. Who knows? Maybe she even likes me… HA!

"So how are we going to find this Torchwick guy again?" Mike asks, blowing a strand of hair out of his left eye as we walk.

"Hmm." I grab my own chin and enter a thinking pose. How exactly am I going to find him? I take a couple of moments to think on it, going through past conversations with Yang, and other shady looking students, but then I go back to Yang, back to a certain conversation we had a couple months ago while we were training.

Flashback

"Hey Hector!" I hear my name called out as I work out with Ashley, Double G has given us the task of doing everything together during Combat training so we can better our coordination, I don't know how working out together makes our coordination better, but whatever. I turn around and meet Yang's Lilac eyes and smile back at her.

"Yo Yang, whats up?" I greet as I wipe some sweat out of my brow.

My wonderful Faunus partner waves to show Yang that she has been acknowledged. She is not sweating nearly as much as I am but she is panting somewhat. We are doing strength training, and conditioning. To her it's not much but to me… Oh lord, if only I could use the parts of my semblance I managed to have some control over to help myself out. But that's not allowed sadly, Ashley's constant little jabs at me don't help either.

"Not much just noticed you getting your ass kicked by that pull up bar so I thought I'd come make fun of you." Yang says with a little giggle that follows shortly after.

"I know right! It's not that hard." Ashley adds.

"Oh come on, I got long arms and I'm heavier then I look, also this is kind of the first time I am working out like this." I explain, trying yet again to claim that I've never done this before.

"You can't expect either of us to believe you after you and Yang nearly destroyed the ring before." Ashley points out.

"Yeah! You're punches definitely had some power behind them!" Yang adds.

"Well thank you both for the wonderful compliments, but I swear I am telling the truth when I say that I am actually from a different dimension." I persist.

"Yeah yeah, whatever you say big guy." Yang waves off my claim once again, as does Ashley. "But as fun as making fun of you would be, I actually came here to thank you."

This surprises me somewhat but I remember quickly what I did for Ruby, saving her from the onslaught known as The Ice Queen. But I play stupid in order to humor her.

"What did I do to deserve this?" I ask, trying to sound as clueless as possible.

"Ruby told me that you saved her from a heated argument against Weiss, now I was going to confront Weiss about this but Ruby, being the very forgiving type, convinced me otherwise. So thank you for doing that for her, and becoming one of her new friends to, she was so excited when she told me that." Yang explains, patting me on the shoulder.

"Well, I was told that I am hard to hate." I remark, making sure to take a glance at Ashley since she was the one who gave me a reason to say that.

"Haha, you definitely are. Since I'm here I actually have a proposition for you." Yang mentions with her signature smirk.

"Oh boy, what could this be?"

"I'm heading out with some friends to a club, the owner owes me a drink, and I cordially invite you and your partner here to come with us." Yang says with a mock bow.

That's where it hit me.

Flashback ends

'Wait a second…'

"AHA!" I shout suddenly, making Reggie jump a bit and everyone else look at me in confusion.

"What was that for?" Blake asks what everyone is thinking.

"I know EXACTLY where we should start!" I say with a ecstatic smile on my face.

"Really? Where?" Everyone asks in unison, completely stopping in their tracks after hearing those words.

"Are any of you familiar with Junior's Nightclub?" I ask, slightly confusing Reggie, and Ashley but luckily Mike and Blake know exactly what I am talking about. Mike because he has been there before and Blake because her golden haired partner can be very boastful about her past little adventures in Vale.

"I know what you're talking about." Blake mentions.

"Same here." Mike adds.

"Can someone explain to me what I'm missing here?" Ashley asks, Reggie grunts to add that he needs the same thing.

"Juniors nightclub is a shady place on the other side of town, the owner is just as shady, if anyone is a good person to ask to find anyone it'd be him." Mike explains for her.

"Oh, isn't that the place that Yang invited us to?" Ashley asks me as she remembers that one time in the gym area.

"That's the place!" I answer with thumbs up.

"I hate clubs." Ashley says under her breath.

"Oh don't be such a downer Ash." I say as I wrap an arm around her shoulders and bring her in close, much to her own discomfort and pleasure at the same time. "The team and I are always gonna be here for ya."

"I feel so protected." Ashley sarcastically says as she grabs my wrist and lifts it off of her shoulder.

"I'm glad you do, now how about we-"

"I'd love to go to a club at night!" A high pitched voice all of the sudden shrieks.

"AH!" I yelp comedically once again, not jumping into somebody's arms scared, but enough to make me hop back a few feet.

"Salutations! I apologize for startling you" Oh dear I know exactly who that is, the word that literally no one uses, that happy monotonic voice, and that orange schoolgirl hair…

"Good morning." Is all I can come up with while in a mixture cheerfulness and sadness. Cheerful because i'm meeting one of the cutest characters from RWBY, and sad because she ended up getting ripped into pieces by another one of my favorite characters. But another thing is that I managed to bump into her before the entire main cast, so that's fun.

"Hello!" Penny greets cheerfully, wearing an innocent smile on her face as usual.

"Uh… Hi." Ashley was the only one who greeted her back. Everyone else was either too startled or outright confused at what was happening right in front of them.

"Pleasure to meet you all, my name is Penny, what are yours?" Penny asks, her face adopting a look of genuine curiosity and excitement. Extending her hand out in a very stiff motion.

Everyone hesitates except for me.

"I'm Hector, pleasure to meet you as well." I say with equal the excitement, happily shaking her hand. My hand cracks beneath the pressure but I keep a straight face… barely.

"Oh wow! You're the first to not run away when I make an appearance, or question the way I speak. Thank you!" Penny replied with a toothy smile.

"I am honored." I say as I give a small bow. Out of the corner of my eye I see everyone waving their hands side to side, and shaking their heads, trying to change my mind about this new friend that I have just made.

"Sensational! *GASP* Does this mean we're friends?" Penny asks, a lot of hope in her voice. How can I say no to that?

"I don't see why not." I say with a small roll of my eyes, but the way my voice sounds shows that I am genuine.

Once my team and Blake hear this they all facepalm. Ashley is the one to speak up first to complain.

"You are way too nice for your own good." Ashley mutters under her breath.

"Well that's what makes me so endearing." I respond with a wink. "Besides, I think we could actually use your- AGH." I get cut off as Penny bulls me into a bone shattering hug, lifting me off my feet and pressing the side of her fast into my chest. Even if I wanted to hug her back I can't because my arms are pinned against my sides.

"P-Penny, P-pleeassseeee, put me down." I barely manage to get out before I run out of breath to speak.

"Oh I'm so happy! My first friend!" After noticing that her grip on me hasn't let up at all and that she has no intention of letting me go just yet, I turn to my teammates for help.

"H-help." I plead as my face begins to lose color.

"Oh no, this is your mess." They unanimously vote to leave me be.

Finally after a couple more moments and one final squeeze Penny lets me go. I land on my feet and almost fall backward from the feeling of lightheaded fades away. But I manage to stand my ground.

"Hoh god, thank you." I say under my breath, I give a glare to everyone else who just let me be nearly crushed to death. They all just shrug and stare back or look away whistling, and by that I mean only Reggie looked away and whistled.

"I'm sorry for almost crushing you to death." Penny apologizes before giggling innocently. "What were you saying before?"

"Well… I was gonna say that… we could use… your help." I say between deep breaths.

"I'd love to be of assistance! What is it that you need?" A hand covers my mouth before I can respond and I get pulled by both arms backward.

"Wait just a minute here." Mike says with an awkward smile.

"Mmmph!" My voice is muffled by the hand on my mouth.

"Hector what the hell are you thinking? I know where Juniors club is we don't need this weird girls help." Mike whispers screams at me, it's actually the most concerned voice I've ever heard him use.

"Having friends can be a great help I've learned." I try to explain my actions.

"No, I'm done wasting time, follow me I know where Junior's is, It just so happens he owes me a favor to." Mike declares, obviously not happy about what we have been doing so far.

"Woah Mike, calm down, we still have plenty of time before anyone starts to wonder where we are. And besides when they do eventually start calling us on our scrolls we can just tell them where we are and be honest about it, we can't be the only team that skips ONE day of school, like c'mon. All we gotta do is not tell them we're going after a crime lord. Besides, you never know who you could be making friends with."

If it wasn't for that one small rant about how we are going to be okay for a good amount of time, I'm sure Mike would've just left without us. Although I don't know where his sudden outburst came from. But now he seems to be considering that part of my plan and combine with the forgiving nature of the Headmaster we actually should be fine for at least today.

"It's been exactly one minute!" Penny exclaims as she almost teleports to our side once again.

We're not as startled by it this time but it's still a little surprising to see her again all of a sudden.

"So are we all good now?" I ask everyone else, just in case there are any other objections I'd like to get it out of the way right now. "Good." I say after a couple moments of silence. "Now Penny, we could use your help giving us the fastest route to Juniors nightclub, I know its day right now but he owes one of us a favor and we could really use the help." I clap my hands together in the nicest, most pleading way possible.

"Oh something like that is simple! That club is exactly 12.457 miles away, simply take this route I am about to send you." Without moving her arms my scroll vibrates, I take it out and my teammates all huddle around me to see what has just popped up on my scroll. Lo and behold, a route the cuts through alleys and other trails alike shows a path directly to the back door of the very nightclub we are looking for. Before any of us could even think to thank her, Penny just disappears, with a note on the ground that says "You will see me again :D -Penny"

"Well that was certainly an interesting development." I say as I put the note in my pocket.

"'Interesting' isn't the word I would use, but we'll go with that." Reggie adds.

"Let's not waste any more time, we could be getting messages any time now, asking us where we are and such." Blake states.

"Yeah, she's right. Lets see if this route is legit." I add to that.

We ended up making it to the club in roughly a little under forty five minutes. The route was actually much faster then what Mike had in mind. The whole time I was wondering when they were going to ask about how Penny sent me this route without taking out her own scroll but I guess that's for a future plot point.

"Well, I'll make sure not to question your judgment in the future." Mike mutters in defeat as we approach the back door.

"Never doubt my people skills." I playfully scold in the best teacher voice I can muster up.

"Don't push it."

"Couldn't help it sorry."

"So are we going to knock on the door or "Knock" on the door?" Reggie asks, air quoting the second knock, implying that we should break down the door for fun. He even makes his arms into metal and steps toward to door with a mischievous grin on his face

"Reggie no!" I almost scream, jumping in his way and barely stopping him from breaking down the door. "What'd I say earlier? Having friends can be a great help right? Well I don't think you make friends by breaking down the back door… okay that sounded wrong but my point still stands."

"Oh fine, I guess that makes sense." Reggie pouts and returns to normal.

"If you two are done I'm going to go open the door." Blake says as she walked past us.

We both shrug and stand behind her, surprisingly for some reason this guy didn't lock his back door. So Blake opens it and we all just walk in with basically no opposition, well one random guy tried to stop us but it didn't go so well for him.

"Hey you kids! Stop!" Random grunt calls out to us, then makes the mistake of grabbing Ashley's shoulder since she was in the back of our line. She then proceeds to grab his wrist, twists his arm, and flips him onto his back. I heard a crack coming from his arm so I assume that he isn't going to stand back up anytime soon.

"Don't touch me." Ashley says firmly to the half unconscious grunt on the ground.

"You could've said that before you nearly broke his arm Ash." I say without even turning around, I'm afraid that I would see a dead body instead of an unconscious person so I go with the out of sight out of mind technique.

"Meh, actions speak louder than words." Ashley says nonchalantly.

"Cute, okay so now where is Junior?" I ask no one in particular as I look around. "I'm guessing we're in the employees only area, oh wait…" I stop myself and do a 180, and walk toward the guy Ashley almost killed and kneel down to his level. "Psst, you still awake bud?" I ask the grunt.

"Euugh." Is all I get as a response.

"I've always wanted to do this…" I say to myself as I ready my hand to prepare that slap to end all slaps.

"I don't think that is necessary, he's waking up on his own." Mike points out.

"Then this will wake him up faster." Before anyone else can protest I slap the shit out of the guys face. His glasses even go flying across the hallway and shatter against the wall. But the slap does it's job and wakes him up fast.

"Ow shit!" The grunt curses, he shoots up to a sitting position and rubs his the burning sensation on his face. "What was that for?"

"You were half asleep and I needed to ask you something." I explain with a shrug. Feeling so satisfied with the sound of the way my hand slapped against his face.

"Wait, who are you?! And you? All of you!?" The grunt asks, beginning to panic between the almost broken arm and hurting face. That is until I slap my hand against his mouth to shut him up.

"Shhhhhh. Now when I take my hand off your mouth, you're not going to scream right?" I whisper to him. He nods slowly and I can feel him calm down, so I feel like I can trust him enough to not-

"INTRUDERS OVER HERE-" Reggie out of panic just kicks his head with the tip of his boot, knocking him out cold instantly.

"Yeah, I see that you became great friends with that guy!" Reggie sarcastically points out as he pulls me up from my kneeling position. Before I can think about responding we all hear dozens of footsteps sounding off from almost every direction.

"I can see that my strategy has some flaws." I admit as we all begin to run toward the lobby before we get surrounded in a tight corridor. As we run the lights go from the usual white to a purple flashy light, like we're in some sort of rave or something now. Quickly we all form a circle, facing the grunts who all surround us. We press our backs against one another just before things begin to get heated.

"I swear, if we die I am so going to find you in the afterlife and kill you again." Ashley threatens, she happens to be right next to me and she uses that distance to elbow me in the side.

"First, ow. Second, if any of us besides myself gets hurt by one of these grunts I will actually be disappointed." I say as we all enter a fighting stance.

"STOP! PLEASE! I just got this place repaired enough for people to start coming back," A tall man who matches the description of a shady guy who runs a nightclub shouts, running down the stairs between us and his henchmen. He turns to look at us and groans in frustration. "How the hell did you morons manage to let KIDS sneak in here?"

"Well, actually we just walked through the back door with little to no resistance." I point out, being the first one to relax my stance.

"Geezus." Junior says in a disappointed tone, pinching the bridge of his nose. "What do you kids want? This is a nightclub, we don't open until night."

"We were hoping you could give us some certain information about a certain individual." Blake states.

Junior raises one of his eyebrows at her statement. "And why would I do that?"

"Because I believe we are mutual friends of a certain blonde huntress in training that may or may not have been responsible for wrecking this place in the first place." I reveal, getting straight to the point. "Soooo…"

"Are you serious? No you can't be. Oh gosh you are serious." Junior says as his face adopts a look of fear. "Okay okay fine, depends on who this person is, I can help you out." Junior relents, gesturing us to follow him into a different room.

"We'll talk in there, but on one condition." Junior begins.

"I don't know if you're really in a position to bargain, but I'll bite."

"Only one of you can come with me, the others can stay out here and do whatever they want, as long as it doesn't include wrecking the place or causing trouble." Junior states.

"Alright I'll go." I say nonchalantly with a shrug. The others jaw's all drop after hearing my answer that had barely any hesitation in it at all.

"Hold on just a second, you really trust this random shady guy enough to be in a room alone with him? It has to be some sort of trap." Reggie protests.

"Of course it is, which is why I am going and none of you." I say as I walk up to Junior before any of them can stop me. "And for the record I never said I trusted him."

"Dipshit get your ass back over here!" Ashley shouts at me. Placing her hands on her hips angrily. I can actually feel the concern she has for my health, adorable.

"I'll be alright, no worries, I'm sure you would be able to tell if anything goes wrong anyway." I point to my head as I say that, referring to the mental link that we have from that time she unlocked my aura. It has only gotten stronger to the point where we can sense when the other is in danger or not. We know this when we watch each other spar someone else, even when my head is down from me trying to fall asleep.

Ashley wonders what I was referring to but quickly realizes what I mean. She gives me a small nod as she accepts my "Self sacrifice." You already know I'll be fine, i'm basically a main character at this point. Mike and Reggie knows about our little link after I told them about her unlocking my aura, so they don't argue with me either. Blake however, is the only one who doesn't know what's going on in our heads.

"What does he mean?" Blake asks Ashley, since that last little comment was directed toward her just before I left.

"I unlocked his aura when we first met in the Emerald Forest." Ashley answers simply.

"She means that they have some sort of mental connection now, due to her doing that. Which is strange because I've never seen an mental connection get this strong just from aura unlocking, maybe that's something to look forward to." Mike explains for Blake.

"Hmm thanks for the explanation, let's ask around here, just in case we missed anything important." Blake says as she wanders off in a random direction to speak to some of the guards.

"Well this isn't ominous at all." I sarcastically say as we enter a room with steel walls, with a steel table with steel chairs in the middle of the room, a what is no doubt a one way mirror for others to look into a room. Lastly the room is lit up by a single bulb in the middle of the ceiling.

"This is where we interrogate people." Junior states as he shuts the door and locks it so no one can get in… or out.

"Cute, so now onto the part where you tell me where Torchwick is." I say as I sit down in one of the chairs.

"Roman? Of all people, THAT'S who you want? Kid listen, that guy is bad news. Not specifically him, but the one's he works with. My advice is forget going after him, and head back to wherever you came from." Junior suggests, leaning over the table to emphasize his point. But I remain unfazed because I know exactly who he is working with already.

"Meh, we'll wing it." I wave off. "Now tell me where he is and this will be simple, no clubs will be destroyed and I get to go to sleep happy."

"What is it with all of you huntsman in training? You're all so ready to throw your life away for something you have no control over. To be honest kid, I have no idea where he is. But stick around long enough and you might run into someone who might have an idea."

"Well at least we're getting somewhere, or at least that would be the case if you weren't lying through your teeth."

"How would you know that anyway?"

"I am from the future!" I shout out, too loud for my sarcasm to be noticeable.

Junior is taken aback at my sudden outbursts and blinks a couple of times in disbelief. "Are you real?"

"Very, now you gonna give me what I want or am I wasting my time?"

Junior signs with disappointment once more, this is really getting him nowhere. As much as it pains him to do this, he is going to let the third occupant in the room do the dirty work for him. Besides even if he did tell me where Roman is, it's only going to get him in a LOT of trouble. "Okay I'm done with this, do your thing."

"Wait what thing? Was that directed to me or was it for someone else? Oh shit it was for someone else." I jump out of my seat and turn around once I feel a hand grasp my shoulder. I look around the room and already I begin to sweat out of nervousness. I see nothing of course but after a moment or two, a certain umbrella wielding ice cream girl appears to make an entrance through the broken mirror despite the mirror being fully intact.

"Oh…hey." I mutter, pushing the table away with my leg to give myself some space.

Ice cream girl just looks at me with a scolding look on her face, she wags a her finger in my face, she is about a foot and a half shorter than me, which is adorable and all but I know she can dismember me without much trouble at this point in time. So I would prefer it if we did not get into a fight right now.

"Is it too late to come up with a deal? Where I don't end up getting stabbed multiple times in the chest and/or other areas of my body." I say with a forced smile on my face.

Neo puts on a thinking face and makes it look like she is considering it, but of course my luck has to run out some time and she shakes her head and points her umbrella at me. Her eyes switching from white to Pink and Brown respectively, pink on the left and brown on the right to compliment her hair style. Junior walks around her and leaves the room, making sure to close it behind him and not be noticed by the others outside.

"Okay… So this is how this morning is going to start."

AN- First, I'm sorry its been a while since I updated this story, I'm going to go with the work excuse since I've been working every single day and havent had a chance to sit back and relax while writing this story, also my main story needed to be tended to. I'm sorry for this short and mostly uneventful chapter but I promise the next one will be action packed and perhaps a thriller if you're easily impressed. Also sorry for the cliffhanger, I couldn't help myself.

Please review and tell me what you think!
