(Hospital Room)

"Mom?!" Yang said with her mouth gaping open.

Raven looked over to Summer with a look of fear written all over it. Slowly Summer started to move in front of her in hopes to give Raven as much time as possible. After a few more moments, Yang's brain caught up with the situation.

"WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE!?" Yang yelled as her eyes shifted red and her hair started to spark.

"Sweetie… I need you to calm down and breath. There is a lot we need to talk about before we jump to conclusions…" Summer stated as she started slowly moving towards Yang, hoping to placate her. If anything this started to anger the teen.

"NOW YOU'RE DEFENDING HER AFTER SHE ABANDONED ME!? ABANDONED DAD!?" Yang exclaimed as she started to slowly walk towards the mother duo, her fury starting to melt the tile. Behind Summer, Raven had finished gearing up. Reaching over and placing her hand on Summer shoulder, Raven moved her partner to the side, putting herself directly in front of her Daughter.

"Yang…" Raven started with a sad tone, however was interrupted by Yang throwing an Ember Celica enhanced punch at her mom. Figuring this was coming, Raven dipped out of the way, letting her daughter slam into the wardrobe on the wall, causing it to splinter and start to smolder.

'Poor Wardrobe' Raven thought. Turning back to Yang, Raven put her hands up in hopes it would stop her rampaging daughter. "Yang… sweetie, you need to calm down and let me explain."

Yang shook off the bits of the wardrobe that happen to be stuck to her. Refocusing herself, she started to stalk towards her mom. "You don't get to call me that. Not after what you did." she seethed.

Sighing, Raven realized that there will be no peaceful resolution to their situation. Looking over to Summer, she smiled. "Let be honest… this was inevitable Sum." Turning back to her daughter, Raven crouched into a defensive stance, drawing a red blade from her scabbard.. "If you feel this is the only way".

Yang smirked and leaped at her Mom. Raven swung her sword behind her, creating a rift. Catching Yang's arm, Raven hurled her through the portal.


(Court Yard - Outside Medical Wing)

Outside, Team JNPR was hanging out near the fountain while waiting for lunch to be over. Ren was trying to keep up with Nora while Jaune was giving Pyrrha a history lesson of the statue.

"Jaune, why does this woman have your sword?" Pyrrha inquired. Jaune leaned in a bit closer, inspecting the main figure on the statue.

"That's my ancestor Joan Arc, the first wielder of Coreca Mors. She was one of the first recorded hunters." Jaune said with a hint of envy. "It is said that her semblance rallied her allies in even the darkest of times and rejuvenated even the most wounded of person. She is who I inspire to be."

Pyrrha just smiled at her partner. "You will get there someday Jaune. Everyone has to start somewhere. It's good that you have such a positive role model." She said as she patted him on the back.

"Thanks Pyr" Jaune gave a weak smile. At that moment Nora was doing cartwheels around the fountain itself. Once she got to where Jaune and Pyrrha were standing, she pointed over to the side.

"Hey guys whats that?" She asked curiously. The rest of JNPR looked towards what looked to be a vortex of darkness.

"I don't know Nora. I think we should get a teacher" Jaune stated as he backed up from it.

At that moment a golden fireball hurled out of the vortex and smashed through a nearby bench. JNPR was surprised to see Yang standing up while a copy of her walked out of the portal followed by Summer. She walked over to team JNPR as Yang leapt at her older doppleganger.

"Summer… what is going on? Why is Yang fighting what looks to be an older version of herself?" Pyrrha inquired.

Summer just sighed as she looked over to the team that was watching the two women pummel each other. "It's a rather long story. After this is over, I am sure that plenty of explanations will go around."


Still blinded by fury, Yang continued to batter at Raven. Punch after punch was thrown however Raven just continued to dodge or parry everything thrown at her.

"WHY DON'T YOU FIGHT ME COWARD" she roared at her mother. Raven continued to have a sadden look across her features as she absorbed those words.

"Because I don't want to hurt you anymore Yang" She stated as she dipped her sword down.

"WHY NOT! YOU'RE SO GOOD AT IT!" Yang bellowed back at her as she paced. That had an effect on her mother as she started tearing up.

"I am sorr…"

This was not the thing to say. "NO… YOU DON'T GET TO SAY THAT. YOUR 14 YEARS TOO LATE!" she yelled as she continued her assault on Raven.

Opening another portal, Raven dodged the strike as Yang sailed into the vortex. Not losing any momentum, another portal opened next to Raven as she close lined her daughter, causing her to slide on her back into the fountain.

Groaning, she picked herself up and refocused her sights. Cocking Ember Celica, she launched a couple of shots at Raven. As Raven deflected them, Yang dashed behind her mother hoping to blind side her. As she pivoted to nail Raven in the back of the head, another vortex opened below her feet, causing her to fall through it. A few moments later, Raven stuck her arm out, catching Yang, slamming her into the ground.

"Are you fi-" Raven started before she was interrupted by Yang tripping her her onto the ground. Recovering swiftly, the older Branwen grabbed Yang's foot as it sailed towards her. With a look of shock & fear, Yang was picked up and thrown into the fountain. Seconds later, the water exploded out of the fountain as waves of heat came off the young huntress.

Sighing, Raven dropped back into a defensive stance. As Yang lept through the air she was suddenly suspended out of nowhere.

"Ms. Xiao-Long. What do you think you are doing?" Came a very angry Glynda Goodwitch followed closely by Ozpin. "Do you have no regard for your safety? Or your friends? I have half a mind to give you detention for the rest of the semester!"

Ozpin stepped forward placing his hand on his headmistresses shoulder. "Now Glynda, while I agree that punishment would be suitable for this transgression; you must realize that this reaction wasn't unexpected nor unjustified..." he stated with a pointed look at Raven who stared at the ground ashamed.

"However this is a great time to teach a fantastic lesson to one of our brightest. Ms. Xiao-Long; while I understand your anger, you must see that if Raven had been an enemy, you would have been injured if not killed. You recklessly charged into a superior opponent blinded by anger. You should count your blessings that she was not hostile and I implore you to find out as much as you can about your opponent before engaging in a fight. You could have injured yourself, mother, or Summer." Ozpin finished by tapping his cane on the ground, releasing Yang from mid-air.

Limping over to Yang, Summer helped her daughter off the ground. "Are you ok sweetie? You're not hurt are you?"

Looking up at her adoptive mother, Yang had tears in her eyes. "Why… why is she here?" she asked in a small voice.

"It's a very long story Sunflower. But know that I was just as upset as you when I saw her. We will be having a long talk with her about everything." Summer said as she hugged her daughter.

Standing up from her crouched position, Yang steadied herself as she stumbled towards her mother. Standing before her, the two huntresses stared each other down. After what seemed like an eternity; Yang threw a right hook, causing Raven to soar through a nearby tree. Glynda moved to stop Yang however Summer waved her hand indicating to wait.

Groaning, Raven started to pick herself up however she froze at feeling a pair of arms grab and pull her into a hug. Wrapping her arms around her daughter, Yang started to sob openly.

"Mom…"


A/N: So… *cough* ... been a while. I am obviously not dead. I have been SO busy with work that it's drained all my creativity that I don't get any sort of drive to do anything once home. However after receiving some nice messages, I have decided to try and dedicate a more time to this story as people have asked what will happen next. I will try to update this more than once every 6+ months. :)

To all the reviews who said the story was good: Thanks for the encouraging words. This is one of the reasons I have decided to come out and continue this story.

Omegazeroinfi: Yeah so canon. I have thought alot on how I was going to handle it. Currently I will be sticking pretty close to event from V1-3 however there will be obvious changes. It will be a framework however the way events unfold will be different.

Knight7572: *Cough* Poly relationship *cough*

-names: I can understand the confusions on the state of dress. She had taken off what I would call 'battle gear'. All the armor / weapons she would typically wield were taken off as it would be terrible to sleep in. As for Ruby, I like to think she has a 'leader' mode where she is super on it, confidant, and the best version of herself. Normally around friends she is the goofy girl however when the situation calls for it, she is ready to be go-getter.
