Agh, sorry for the long wait time on this one, guys. School started back up and it sucks, so it'll take longer to update this story, unfortunately. Thankfully, this chapter is an arc closer and leads right in to the third and final arc of this story. AKA The one with the explosive twists and jaw dropping moments! This one goes out to all the WhiteRose fans that have so anxiously and desperately been waiting for this very chapter. Enjoy, you handsome devils!


Earlier that day…

Ruby Rose awoke to the same, bland white roof that she had been staring at for the last couple of days. She had grown quite sick of it; it was so average and basic. The hospital walls and sounds were like hell for the girl now, and she just wanted out. Fortunately for her, she had done some walking with the doctor yesterday and went mostly fine, meaning she could be let out today.

But she was going nowhere until Weiss woke up.

The room next to her had the sleeping ice queen, who had been in a comatose state ever since that mission. Ruby had only seen her once, but she planned another visit today, hopefully to see her wake up. Thankfully, Weiss' condition was improving and her Aura was curing most of her internal wounds, so by the time she woke up, she shouldn't need any additional surgery.

The sun beamed through the curtains of the window and straight into Ruby's silver eyes, and she squinted, looking away from the light. The yellow of the light reminded Ruby of her half-sister, and how she would be doing right now. Yang's tough. I'm sure she's out already.

Ruby looked to her left to find that Qrow was sitting in the chair next to her bed, downing his familiar flask of whiskey. His eyes locked with Ruby's, and he took the alcohol away from his lips, smiling at his niece. "You're finally awake."

"Hey, uncle Qrow." Ruby greeted her uncle. "Do you know how Weiss doing? I haven't seen her in a while." Ruby blurted out. Maybe it was the thoughts of her that made Ruby say that, but she did anyway.

"Her condition is improving and she's close to finally waking up from her nap." Qrow responded, bringing a huge sense of relief to Ruby. "On the downside, her sister is coming to see her and me today, and she didn't sound happy. I think I'm in some trouble with her."

"Don't tell me you two are going to fight again." Ruby chuckled. Qrow scoffed, taking another swig from his flask.

"I don't plan for it to come to that. So if you see any fights outside, those are all her fault." Qrow replied. He walked over to the curtain, drawing it open and looking out onto the streets of Mistral. He raised an eyebrow at the sight outside. "Well, would you look at that? Pyrrha hasn't even been back for a full day and she's already on a date with her boyfriend."

Ruby raised herself up and looked outside to see Jaune and Pyrrha making their way out of the walls and into the forest. She smiled at the sight at first, Jaune finally got Pyrrha back and he wasn't suffering through every day. Ruby had been worried for Jaune over the last months but now, he was happy. That was all Ruby wanted. However, Ruby's smile slowly faded. That could be me and Weiss going out there… But…

Ruby slumped back in her bed. "Qrow, can you promise me one thing?"

"Hm?" He returned. Ruby sighed, looking up at the ceiling, her hands crossed behind her head.

"Promise me Weiss will wake up eventually. I… I need to see her again." Ruby squeaked out. She stared pleadingly into Qrow's eyes. "Please."

Qrow stayed silent for some time, before stepping away from the window and pushing his hands against the bed Ruby was laying on, looking down at her. "I don't like lying to my niece and I sure as hell don't like making empty promises. But, if it'll help ya smile… I promise." He said. Ruby smiled up at her uncle.

"Thanks, uncle Qrow." She replied.

The nice moment between uncle and niece was soon interrupted as the door slammed open, scaring the hell out of Ruby. Nora and Ren stood on the other side, Ren covering his face and Nora looking as energetic as ever. "GOOD MOOOOOOOORNING, RUBY ROOOOOOOOOOOSE!" Nora screamed. She suddenly dashed to Ruby.

"How ya doing? Are your legs okay? Can you walk? Will you ever fight again? Ugh, I can't handle the pain!" Nora dashed all over Ruby, inspecting different parts of her body. She sniffled with tears in her eyes on that last sentence, before immediately changing back to a cheerful attitude. "What am I saying? Of course you'll be alright! You're Ruby Rose, You! Are! The! BEEEEEEEST! You'll get up, and then Weiss will wake up, and then you two WILLL DATE FOREVEEEEEEEEEEER!" Nora took a deep breath, and grinned. "And it'll be totally adorable and I'll write FanFiction on it."

There was some silence after Nora had her outburst as everyone looked at Nora with utter confusion. Ruby started to slowly speak. "What was that last part-"

"What she's trying to say is that she's expecting you and Weiss to recover soon." Ren smiled. Ruby smiled at Nora.

"Thanks, Nora! Thankfully, I should be out of here today and Weiss will wake up soon!" Ruby cheered. Nora clasped both her hands over her cheek.

"That… Is… AWESOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME! We're gonna have the BIGGEST PARTY IN ALL OF REMNANT when you get out of here! Ren will make pancakes, we'll order pizza, I'll have some Qrow's flask-"

"You're not touching anything in here." Qrow cut Nora off. The hammer wielding girl was suddenly in Qrow's face, screaming.

"I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S IN THAT THING! Beer? Whiskey? Pure gasoline?" Nora questioned.

"Whatever it is, it's none of your business. Let's just say it gets me through a day when people like you are around me." Qrow returned.

"HEY! That's mean! Ren, beat him up for insulting your girlfriend!" Nora pushed Ren up to Qrow, and he looked around awkwardly, trying to avoid eye contact. Nora crossed her arms, tapping her foot rapidly, waiting for Ren to do something to Qrow.

"You want some this, kid?" Qrow offered. Ren shook his head.

"I have my own ways of dealing with her." Ren responded. Nora stomped her foot, puffing out her cheeks in anger.

"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN, YOU JERK?!" Nora screamed as Ren looked away from his girlfriend to avoid any incoming slaps that may come his way.

"Whoa. What have I missed?" A voice sounded from the door. Everyone looked over to see Yang and Blake standing by the door, and Ruby lit up at the sight of her sister standing and looking just perfectly fine.

"Yang! You're okay!" Ruby cheered. Yang grinned.

"Yep! I was let out just last night. And, I have some even better news!" Yang grabbed Blake's hand, raising it up and smiling as Blake slightly blushed. "Blake and I are officially a thing now! We've made up and we're on good terms now."

"Finally! I'm so happy for you two!" Ruby cheered even louder, making Blake blush even deeper. Yang leaned over and kissed Blake on the forehead, calming her down just slightly.

"That explains the noises I was hearing above me last night." Nora said. This caused Yang and Blake's face to go entirely red and their eyes to suddenly widen.

"Wait… What?" Blake stuttered out. Nora crossed her arms, frowning at the girls.

"Don't know if you two bothered to check, but we're in the room directly below you and I HEARD EVERY SINGLE SOUND YOU MADE!" Nora screamed. Ren face palmed at Nora blurting out what was supposed to be private information, and Ruby looked at Yang and Blake, utterly confused.

"Wait… What noises did you hear?" Ruby asked. Yang suddenly clasped her hands over Ruby's ears.

"That is something you'll learn about when you're older, okay, sis?" Yang awkwardly said to Ruby who tried to get her sister's hands off her. All the while, Yang glared directly at Nora, and she returned the death stare. "Anyway… How're you doing, Ruby? Let's move on to an entirely different subject, please."

"I'm… You're all really weird, but I'm doing fine! I should be out of here today and Weiss should be waking up soon!" Ruby smiled happily.

"That's good to hear." Blake returned the smile, the blush finally fading away from her face.

"We should totally have a celebration party when you two are out of here!" Yang cheered, to which Ruby and Blake agreed on. Nora's death stare immediately returned straight into Yang's eyes.

"That's exactly what I suggested! But noooo, no one would listen to me, of course!" Nora threw her hands in the air out of frustration. Qrow interrupted the entire situation by getting up out of his chair and walking towards the door.

"Well, sorry to interrupt your insane festivities, but I've got someone to meet. Not sure if any of you just noticed the Atlas Airship landing right outside." Qrow smirked. Everyone looked out the window to indeed see the airship landing on the designated spot outside, all the citizens clearing out of the way for it.

"He's right, I didn't notice it…" Ruby hoarsely let out.

"Who's come here to visit you?" Ren asked. Qrow shook his head, slightly chuckling.

"I suggest you all brace yourselves, kids. Winter is coming." Qrow said before exiting the room and going downstairs. The room was finally left in silence for some time, before Yang scoffed and broke the silence with a few simple words that everyone was thinking.

"Oh boy, here we go…"


Qrow took another swig from his drink as he approached the Atlesian soldiers and airship, the ship powering down and the doors opening. Qrow kept a smug face as he looked at all the spectacles before him.

"Well, this is a bit over the top, don't you think?" A female voice came from besides Qrow. The man looked to his right, and actually felt genuine surprise at the woman before him. "It's nice to see you, Qrow."

"Been a while, Thetis." Qrow greeted Pyrrha's mother as she walked over to him. "Rumor has it you were killed in a mission, but I knew that was total load of crap."

"People make up the weirdest stuff when they don't see me every day." Thetis replied. She chuckled. "What made you know I was fine?"

"I've seen the way you fight. You're almost as good as I am." Qrow replied. He smirked towards Thetis. "Almost."

"I don't know, Qrow." Thetis crossed her arms, returning the smirk. "From what I heard, you took a pretty fatal hit in your last fight. That wasn't supposed to happen, wasn't it?"

"Hey. That was a cheap shot." Qrow growled. Thetis laughed, placing a hand upon Qrow's shoulder.

"I'm messing with you. You were protecting your niece. I'd do the same for Pyrrha. I respect you for that." Thetis smiled to Qrow. Qrow always knew Thetis as one of the kindest woman he ever knew. She very rarely got even the tiniest bit angry, and was always great for any support or help. She was a respectable woman that Qrow knew for many years during their academy years. However, they slowly lost the time to catch up as the job of protecting Remnant took up their lives, so reunions like this were always welcome for Qrow.

"Am I interrupting something here?" Another, more snappy, female voice sounded from inside the airship. Qrow and Thetis looked up to see Winter exiting the ship, obviously agitated. "I didn't realize you could move on so quickly, Branwen."

"Move on?" Thetis asked. "Oh, don't tell me…"

"Thetis, meet Winter Schnee." Qrow introduced the ice queen. "My… Ex."

"Let me guess. He hasn't said a single kind word about me, hasn't he?" Winter snapped to Thetis. Thetis couldn't help but chuckle at the obvious bitter jealousy this woman had, and she crossed her arms.

"I think you may be confused. Qrow and I aren't involved romantically. We used to be good friends back in our academy days. He hasn't really told me anything about you, actually." Thetis explained. She placed a hand on her chest. "I'm Thetis Nikos, long time Huntress and mother to Pyrrha Nikos."

"You're… Pyrrha's mother?" Winter asked, to which Thetis nodded.

"And before you say it, no. You don't need to be sorry. To put it short, I bought Pyrrha back thanks to my semblance of resurrection. She'll be of help as a true Huntress in future." Thetis smiled. Winter's eyes slightly widened, but she cleared her throat and actually smiled at Thetis.

"That's good to hear. It would be a shame to permanently lose someone like her…" Winter replied. Her smile immediately faded as she locked eyes with Qrow. "Now you."

"Here we go…" Qrow sighed.

"I gave you specific instructions to protect my sister when I was out on a mission. Now, she's in a comatose state and you did nothing to stop it!" Winter snapped at Qrow. "I am fully aware you had been injured beforehand, but you still needed to keep an eye on them! You should've known that letting them out on a mission like that could only go wrong! My sister could've died because of your carelessness!"

"Winter." Qrow growled. Winter stepped towards Qrow, a glare in her eyes.

"What?" She hissed. Qrow and Winter's eyes locked, and Thetis was getting ready to break any fights that may occur. However, Qrow didn't draw his weapon or make any sudden move. He instead, simply whispered.

"I know you're worried for your sister. But you're not the only one who's loved one is hurt right now." Qrow said. "My niece got seriously injured too, and I have been worried to death for her. The only difference is I don't have a tantrum about it. Do you really think Weiss would want you angry at me and doubting her in this state?"

Winter looked down at her feet, sighing and closing her eyes. "You don't know her like I do…"

"Look, all I'm saying is to have some faith in her. Her condition is improving and she could wake up today. You just need to hang on for a little bit." Qrow whispered. Winter finally didn't answer, and that was enough for Qrow to know she had calmed down a bit. He wrapped one arm around Winter's back and pulled her close to his chest. "I'm only doing this because you said it helps when you're angry."

"It is." Winter responded, returning the embrace. Thetis smiled at the sight of the two, but she then heard a gasp and turned around to see Ruby hiding the bushes just a few meters away.

"Looks like you two have a fan." Thetis commented. Qrow looked over to see Ruby in the bushes, and he sighed, letting go of Winter.

"What're you doing here?" Qrow asked as Winter tried to hide her blush at the realization that she had been spotted hugging Qrow. Ruby stepped out, still in her hospital gown, pushing her two index fingers together, giving Qrow simple puppy dog eyes.

"I-I'm sorry, I just… Wanted to see how things would go with you and Winter." She squeaked out. Qrow kept his glare up for a total of three seconds, before chuckling, patting Ruby on the head, causing her to smile.

"I can't stay mad at ya, kiddo." He said.

"So… You two really used to date?" Ruby asked. Qrow looked to Winter for permission, and she sighed, reluctantly nodding as she crossed her arms.

"That's right, all the way back. But little miss ice queen here didn't like the fact I wasn't calling her when I was out on missions, and the fact we couldn't really see each other that much caused her to have a little tantrum that I couldn't be there to calm her down for. So she called off the relationship and now, here we are." Qrow explained.

"You could've at least kept in touch every so often. I get worried." Winter snapped. Qrow sighed.

"I'm sorry, it's kinda hard to keep in touch when I'm out trying to defend our one and only Fall Maiden!" Qrow replied, to which Winter simply looked away from the man. He sighed, looking down to Ruby. "So, as you remember, Ruby, our first reunion didn't go very well when she tried to kill me. But maybe I can ease her up over the next couple of days and we can…" He looked to Winter. "Start over."

"That…" Winter hissed, and Qrow expected the usual objection. But instead, Winter turned around and put on a kind face to Qrow, which was a rare trait for her. "Is a possibility I'm willing to consider." She said, which bought some relief to Qrow himself. It was nice to see she didn't totally despise him just yet, and although she never said it, she could understand the distance he had. She just wasn't very used to long distance relationships.

"But now's the time we focus on the more important aspects. Qrow, I'd like you to escort me to my sister. I… I need to see her." Winter asked. Qrow simply bowed, mocking her.

"As you wish, Your Majesty." He mocked, to which Winter glared, giving off the simple message. Cut the crap or I cut your throat, Branwen.

"Qrow, do you happen to know where Pyrrha and Jaune went? I didn't find them in the room this morning." Thetis asked. Qrow grinned, running a hand through his hair and chuckling.

"Those two love birds went out through the North Walls. I don't recommend interrupting them." Qrow smirked, to which Thetis smirked, looking at the respective walls.

"I guess. I just need to give Pyrrha her weapons. Blacksmith finished working on them this morning." Thetis explained. The weapons in question were strapped to her back alongside her real weapon. "In the meantime, can't hurt to visit Weiss myself."

"I need to see her, too. It's been a while." Ruby said. Qrow nodded, taking a swig from his flask as he started walking towards the hospital.

"Follow me, I'll show ya where she is." Qrow waved a hand, signaling for everyone to follow him. The hospital, thankfully, was just down the street, and the group entered in. The woman at the counter looked up at the ringing doors, and raised a hand.

"Excuse me!" The counter lady called out to Winter, whose eyes curiously locked with hers as she raised a brow. "You're Winter Schnee? Weiss' sister?"

"Yes… Why do you ask?" Winter replied. The counter lady smiled, looking up the stairs.

"I just received some good news from the medical team upstairs. Her monitors are saying that she's recovering consciousness. I recommend going up to see her for this moment." The woman called out. Ruby's eyes widened at those words, and she covered her mouth with both hands.

"She's… She's waking up?!" Ruby gasped. Winter's eyes snapped to Qrow.

"Branwen!" She said.

"I'm going, I'm going." Qrow said as he started jogging upstairs, everyone following him. Ruby's legs didn't ache finally, so she could keep up with everyone else, and she had to fight every part of her mind that was screaming to use her semblance to go faster.

Weiss... You better not wake up without me by your side! I've waited too damn long for this!


Ruby opened the door to Weiss' room to find a single doctor besides her. "Glad you could all come. We've been checking on her and it seems her internal wounds have healed, no doubt in thanks to her Aura. I predict she'll be awake within the next minute. Try not to overwhelm her when she does regain consciousness." The doctor walked to the door, going down to the hallway. "If you need me, I'll be making reports in the room next door."

As the doctor exited, a few other people showed up. Yang, Blake, Nora and Ren had all rushed into the room. "She'll be awake within the minute. Try not to freak her out." Qrow explained to the newcomers.

"I should go get Jaune and Pyrrha. No doubt they've been waiting for this moment, as well." Thetis said as she exited the room and ran down the hallway. Everyone else, even Winter, stood back and let Ruby go forth. Weiss' breathing started to pick up as Ruby slowly approached and took one her hands in her own.

"Weiss. It's me, Ruby. Can you hear me?" Ruby asked, squeezing her hand tightly. Weiss' eyes remained closed, and Ruby slightly shook her hand. "Weiss? Can you hear me? I'm right here."

"Of… Of course I can hear you, you dolt…" Weiss hoarsely croaked out, causing Ruby's eyes to widen fully and her, as well as everyone's, breath to cut. Weiss shifted, and her eyelids raised, revealing the utterly gorgeous and ice cold light-blue iris underneath. Weiss' eyes were locked with Ruby's silver ones, and she slowly reached her hand over to place it on Ruby's. Weiss smiled up at the red girl, slightly giggling.

"After all… Who could mistake such an adorable voice like that?"

Ruby's breathing started to pick up at a quicker pace, and her smile grew wider. She wanted to hug Weiss, but with everyone watching, she didn't know if she could. So she did the other insane thing that came to her mind.

She cupped Weiss' cheeks with her hands, and without wasting a second, leant forward and pushed her lips against Weiss', kissing her. Weiss' eyes widened at the sudden gesture, and Ruby's mind was freaking out, telling her to stop. But… She couldn't. All of these feelings were overwhelming her to the point of pure love, but her mind was calling her an idiot. What if Weiss wasn't even gay?

Ruby quickly pulled away, awkwardly laughing. "S-Sorry… I've just been waiting a while to do that. I, uh, understand if you don't want me around now, it's just-"

Ruby was cut off as Weiss rested a palm on her cheek, and ever so slowly, a smile rested on her face. "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that for."

All of Ruby's feelings were put at rest with that simple sentence, and she felt as if the rope tightly wrapped around her stomach had been loosened. "Weiss… I missed you so much." Ruby whispered as her overwhelming feelings got advantage of her sadness, and tears came to her eyes. The sight of a crying Ruby was enough to cause the same effect on Weiss.

"Shut up… How do you think I felt in utter darkness, waiting for the day I could see your beautiful face again?" Weiss sobbed, a smile on her face but tears in her eyes. Ruby's happiness became too much, and she couldn't help herself. She wrapped her arms around Weiss' back and pulled her close, kissing her yet again. This time, Weiss returned it, closing her eyes and returning the hug. Yang started to clap at the sight of Ruby and Weiss finally finding love within each other, and with no wasted time, everyone started to cheer for Ruby and Weiss.

"You two are so ADORABLE! My dreams have come true!" Nora cheered, causing Ruby and Weiss to chuckle within each other's lips. They slowly pulled away, looking at the small crowd, Ruby keeping an arm wrapped around Weiss.

Winter soon stepped forward, and the applause was stopped as her and Weiss locked eyes. "This…" Winter croaked out. She took a breath, smiling at her sister. "This is certainly unexpected. But I'm happy for you, Weiss. As long as she can treat you right and you're smiling with her, then I have no objections to this relationship." Winter said, causing a sigh of relief from everyone. "I'm just… Glad you're okay, Weiss. You made me cry for the first time in seven years, so… I'm really thankful."

"And I'm thankful that you're okay with this, Winter. I… Was afraid to tell you about my feelings for Ruby, especially considering our father, but… I don't care what he thinks. As long as I'm happy, I don't care." Weiss responded. Winter locked eyes with Ruby, raising a brow.

"I will admit, your choice of interest is… Odd. I find myself questioning whether she's from this world, sometimes." Winter said. Weiss and Ruby looked to each other, slightly giggling.

"No, I don't think she's from Remnant. I think she's from Heaven." Weiss smiled, resting her head on Ruby's shoulder. "Because she's my angel."

That single line made Nora gasp from utter delight, her pupils forming the shape of a heart as her jaw dropped and her mouth formed a smile. "Best… OTP… Ever…"

"Guess you could say these two remind you of what we used to be, huh, Winter?" Qrow asked. Winter walked over to the man, grabbing his shirt out of what he thought would be anger.

Instead, Winter simply pulled Qrow down to her height and pushed her lips against his, catching him and everyone else off guard. She kept the kiss going for about five seconds, before snapping away. "I know you, Qrow. You haven't said it, but I know you wanted that more than anything right now. Since I'm in a gracious mood today, I figured I'd give you at least one act of kindness." She blushed as she walked away from him. He placed a hand on his hip, scoffing.

"What a load of crap. You just wanted a reason to kiss me, didn't ya?" He said, making Winter blush even harder.

"You… You hold your tongue!" She stuttered out, causing Weiss to slightly giggle at the sight of Winter being flustered. Soon enough, Jaune and Pyrrha entered with Thetis, and they found Weiss leaning her head on Ruby's shoulder.

"Is today the day of romance, or what?" Thetis chuckled at the sight of the WhiteRose pairing. "Now we've got another couple on our hands!"

"Weiss?! Now I feel even worse… I was flirting with a lesbian this whole time?!" Jaune cried, causing everyone in the room to slightly laugh.

"It's good to see you awake, Weiss. And it's nice to see you two together." Pyrrha smiled. That means I can get more of Jaune all to myself! … Wait, I still have these thoughts? I would've thought I'd have grown out of them.

"Don't you have a husband, Thetis? You must've been with someone to have Pyrrha." Qrow asked. Jaune and Pyrrha cringed in sync at the touchy subject, but Thetis smiled, crossing her arms.

"Yes, I used to have a husband for a few years… I curse myself every day for marrying that man. Only good quality is that he gave me Pyrrha. He was despicable, and I divorced him whilst Pyrrha was still at Signal." Thetis explained. "He actually became a homeless drunk after I left him… And I learnt a few months after I had divorced him that he was killed by Grimm when trying to fist fight one of them!"

"That's rather dark, don't you think?" Yang said. Thetis shook her head.

"He was pure evil, and I'm quite frankly glad he's gone from my life." Thetis replied. Qrow took a swig from his drink, shaking his own head.

"It takes a lot to piss off Thetis, I know that for a fact. The guy must've been a real ass." He commented. Thetis scoffed, looking down at the floor.

"More than you can believe." She sighed.

"If we're going for this tone, I believe now's the time to tell you guys something." Yang spoke up. She nodded to Qrow, and he returned it. All eyes were on the blonde. "I'm sorry for not telling you about this earlier… But we are in some danger."

"Danger? How so?" Pyrrha asked. Yang sighed, a worried expression upon her face.

"Roman Torchwick used to have a side woman by the name of Neo. They worked together on just about everything they did. I'm sure you all heard about Roman's death at the Fall of Beacon." Yang explained to which everyone nodded. "Well… Neo survived, and she's returned. She's after me and my team. She won't stop until we're all dead."

"And I'm not letting that happen." Qrow said.

"All we need is for you to be cautious. She could be anywhere. All of us against her shouldn't be a problem, but she's fast and I believe her semblance is illusions, so she can trick you. I'm sorry I didn't tell you this yesterday, JNPR, but… You were already overwhelmed." Yang apologized. Jaune shook his head

"It's alright." Jaune responded. "We know what we need to do. Keep our guard up, and help you fight her when the time comes." Everyone agreed, nodding their heads. Thetis, Qrow, Winter, everyone. All of these people were enough to put Yang at some ease.

"Thank you." Yang said.

"I haven't had a good fight in a while. Hopefully she'll come for me. It'll be interesting to see what her skills would be like." Thetis chuckled. Pyrrha lightly punched her mother on the arm, shaking her head.

"I almost forgot how crazy about fights you are. Against you, no one can stand a chance." Pyrrha smiled, to which Thetis grinned at.

"Ms. Schnee?" A voice sounded from the door, and everyone turned to see the same doctor, by his side was an extremely short nurse, smiling. "I'm sorry to interrupt the reunion, but I'd like to check Weiss conscious condition and test a few basic things like walking and such. It shouldn't take long, but she'll need some space for a few short minutes."

"That's fine. Come on, guys." Ruby said as she kissed Weiss on the cheek and stood up, walking out of the hospital room. Everyone followed her, a smile on their faces at the sense of relief they had that everything was going to be okay. Even with Neo around, she can't possibly win against eleven people at once. Finally, everything was going to be okay.

As Yang exited the room, she accidentally bumped the small nurse. "Oops. Sorry about that." She apologized. However, the nurse simply smirked at the blonde, and Yang raised a brow.

Slowly, ever so slowly, the nurse placed a finger against her mouth in a shush gesture. Then, she winked, closing the eyelid on her left eye.

And as she winked, her left eye color changed from brown to a familiar pale pink…


REVIEW RESPONSES:

BrooklynOfVale: Please let me know what you thought of seeing Weiss wake up, you sound so excited for it!

Neo-Charlemagne: It was to my attention that Pyrrha was already OP though? XD Nah, I'm glad the scene didn't ruin the chapter for you, nonetheless.

Omega09: What I'm thinking is why you aren't getting out there and writing stories now! You'd do really good! Unfortunately, I cannot find a spot in my story to put your awesome Grimm in. If I ever make a sequel, it'll definitely be included.

Kyrogue23: 'Beat the pink out of Neo's hair' is my new favorite saying ever. Of all time. I'm sure you're happy that Pyrrha's father has long gone straight to hell!

Zanatoz: I'm very happy people aren't mad at me for delaying the WhiteRose, and I'm glad you understand that I had to do Arkos for some time. Thank you!

BlackenedFlame157: Oh my god you're freaking awesome and I love you. Thankfully for you, our favorite ice cream girl is closer than everyone is closer than everyone is expecting…

JordanPhoenix: ACCIDENTALY publically declared that, yes. I don't do much research for my story, but I wanted to nail Pyrrha's backstory and I'm very glad you and many others liked that! Being compared to the show is the greatest compliment I can receive, so thank you! Jaune is always fun to write, and I'm hoping to see you one day put him on text. It'd be AWESOME!

TheHuntress77: As long as you caught the fluff, that's all that matters. WHITEROSE IS ENOUGH TO HURT YOUR THROAT FOR, DAMMIT! IT'S JUST TOO GOOD! Thank you for the kind words!
