A/N: Guess who's laptop took a shit! Finally got the thing fixed. This is why it's important to back up things. Luckily I didn't have to retype alllll of this. Chapter 11 coming soon, got a few things to catch up on

Goodwitch

Professor Goodwitch stormed into her husband's office behind Yang, furious that she was going to have to fix something else because of the blonde's emotional instability.

"MISS XIAO-LONG!" Goodwitch yelled. With a flick of her crop Yang's body was restrained by the Professor's Semblance. She flicked the crop again and the door rebuilt itself instantly from the shards and ashes of the wood. Once she saw that the door was again intact she turned back to the student responsible for the damage. "We have already told you anything we are allowed to tell you. We are fully in control of the situation. Under NO circumstances are you to go off investigating. If we find out that you were even close to that area we will have all of team Rwby restricted to campus until the ordeal blows over. THAT being said." Goodwitch turned to Yatsuhashi and Velvet. "Neither of you two are to talk about anything you've seen or heard regarding Ruby. As far as anyone needs to know Miss Rose is known to be deceased. This is for her safety, we have information that someone may have been trying to kill her before the bombing. You are all dismissed." She said sternly, not giving anyone room to argue or ask questions.

Roman

After the phone call Roman went back inside, hid the scroll in the kitchen, and went back upstairs with a bottle of water for Red. When he got back to the bedroom he found her awake lying on the bed. Roman went over to her and helped her to sit up.

"Thirsty Red?" Roman offered the girl the water, and she took it. He went around back to his side of the bed and sat beside her. "Did you sleep ok…I mean apart from the nightmare?"

Ruby nodded and drank. "Do you think that was a memory?"

"It's possible that maybe you're going to remember things that happened up to the event. Before, you had a very strong power called an aura. One thing it can do it help heal during emergencies or fights but only if the user has a strong will. I bet, Red, that now that your body is healing and the initial medicines the medics gave you are wearing off, your Aura might be helping a little bit, starting with the immediate memory loss. In no time you might have your whole life back." Roman tried to sound cheerful for the girl, though little did she know the doctors offered him a potion to put her memories back. But Roman had just gotten her, and he knew she'd leave him the moment she knew what kind of monster he was, 'or at least what kind of monster she thinks I am' He thought sadly. 'She's going to hate herself in the morning so to speak when she wakes up 'sober' to see what she did when she wasn't herself' Roman noticed that red wasn't looking at him. She was looking at her bandages.

"Hey Roman? Will this Aura thing help my injuries heal? "

"Anything is possible Red." Roman put his arm around her shoulder and held her to him. His empty hand cupped her chin and turned her head to face up to him. "In fact, I think it's already working." He took his hand from her chin and used his fingers to sweep her hair from her face. "Some of the scrapes on your face and arms are already almost healed." He held her arm up to show her a spot on her upper arm, some of the cuts were faint scars and other looked like they were days old. "See. You're getting prettier by the second."

Ruby blushed and pulled away. "Can we see if my leg is healing too?" She knew her aura was strong, but usually it was activated during combat and only worked a little between combat. She wondered if being in danger would activate it enough to heal the break. But for now Ruby just wanted to see how the gash and stitches on her leg were healing… If at all.

Roman got off the bed and ran over to her side. He set up the wheelchair and scooped her up so he could get her mobilized. "Let's go look shall we? I have all the extra bandages in the kitchen, wouldn't hurt to make sure the ones on there are always clean"

When he got her to the kitchen he took out the care instructions he had gotten from the medics. "Alright Red, Says right here 'Do not get wet in first 24-48 hours'…oops" He looked over at her remembering Neo had given her a shower "How the hell did Neo keep that all dry?"

"She had me on a chair and the leg was propped on the tub edge, then she just used the shower hose nozzle to clean me, but that part she cleaned around with a wash towel." Ruby said as she grabbed an apple out of the fruit dish on the table.

"Okkayyy…Next thing….'Change bandages as needed for first 24-48 hours, non stick bandages only and a small amount of enclosed ointment.' Got it." He pulled out the small tube of cream and a bandage. "I should probably wash my hands first…" He handed Ruby the rule sheet as he got up "How about you read this and tell me if I'm about to screw something up." He remembered Neo coming out to grab one of the chairs, and for his own sake he was trying not to visualize Ruby in the shower.

"Yessir" Ruby laughed. She took the paper and read over the rest of the rules as Roman came back and went to work removing the old bandages. "Woah" she exclaimed when he got them off. The wound was visibly starting to heal up. It was about 20% better than it was when they took her to the medics. He had also brought over a damp cloth and he started cleaning up her leg in a couple places Neo had missed.

Yang

Yang waited roughly 0.000002 seconds after the door to her teams room shut behind her before dialing Junior. It didn't even ring on his end just went to his machine. Blake and Weiss sat motionless on Weiss's bed and flinched as Yang slammed her phone down on the desk. "DAMNIT!".

Blake stood up and stepped beside Yang. Putting her arms around her teammate's shoulders she pulled the yellow haired girl to over to sit on the bed. "What's wrong?" She frowned as Yang told her everything she just found out.

Ruby

Ruby and Roman had spent the rest of their afternoon lying across what was the largest and plushest of couches she had ever seen. Nora would have replaced all the beds in Jnpr's room if she had known this couch existed. They were watching a kid's cartoon about huntresses and laughing at the simplest of things. If someone had told her after her first encounter with the criminal that it would come to this, she would have laughed in their face. Roman was laying along the back of the couch on his side his head somewhat propped by his arm and she was lying awkwardly in front of him on her back. He had put huge fluffy pillows under their heads and another under her leg to keep it elevated.

She laid there with her head turned facing the TV, but every so often she'd look up at the ceiling because he neck felt strained. More often than not though, Ruby was using that as an excuse to look up so she could look at Roman. He lay there quietly and pretended not to notice her looking. Maybe he felt awkward about what happened the night before and just didn't want to talk about it. From this angle though she couldn't help but admire him, she'd never noticed before, but he was really handsome. She felt her face turn red as she remembered kissing him. If anyone in the past would have told her that she'd kiss him, let alone enjoy it, she would have said yuck and made a comment about cigar breath. She never was around him while he was smoking so she didn't know what to expect but he definitely tasted like toothpaste more than anything. She was glad no one in her past had ever thought to make jokes about things like this. It would have ruined this moment for her.

Roman

Ruby was looking at him again, her face was turning red, and he wondered if she was thinking of the kiss too.

"Would you like to take a picture? It might last longer." He turned his gaze down to her and she quickly turned her head back to the TV, the red blush that had tinted her face moments before was spreading to her ears. He grabbed her chin and turned her head to look back at him, briefly wondering if she'd look like a tomato but once she was looking into his eyes he couldn't look away. His intel on her said her eyes were grey, but that was the farthest thing from what he was seeing. It was like looking at sterling silver and it was catching him off guard every time.

"Sorry Red didn't mean to embarrass you" he let go of her chin and smiled sweetly.

"Yes you did" she accused. Suddenly she was reaching up and pulling his face to hers. And she was kissing him.
