Weiss stood in front of a mirror that hung just inside the front door of her house. She was looking herself over to make sure she was presentable for the meeting she had with, presumably, the CEO of the Atlas Biotech Labs. She was wearing an all white suit at her father's request, but she would much rather be wearing a skirt or dress of some kind.

'How can Winter fight in one of these.' Weiss thought 'Everything about this suit is uncomfortable.'

She sighed and turned away from the mirror, pulling her scroll out of a pocket inside her blazer to check the time. 8:59.

'They should be here soon.' Weiss continued to look at her scroll, hoping for the time to never change. She didn't want to go to the meeting, she didn't want to go to the place that, if what Jace said was true, mad people into the creatures of Grimm. The time on her scroll changed to 9:00.

There was a knock on the door. Weiss stared at it. She didn't want to answer it. She didn't want to door to open. She saw her father appear out of the corner of her eye.

"They have arrived Weiss." Her father said coldly "Go on, open the door for them."

Weiss hesitantly obeyed, slowly making her way over to the door and opening it slowly.

Two men stood on her doorstep. They were both the same height, which was at least six and a half feet tall. The men doth wore black pants, black shirts, black trench coats, and black fedoras. Both men were completely bald, and a pair of mirrored sunglasses obscured their eyes. The only difference that Weiss noticed is that the man to her left had olive skin and the man on her right had pale, white skin.

"Ms. Schnee" the man on the left said. His voice was low and made Weiss feel uneasy.

"Are you ready?" the man on the right said. His voice was a bit higher pitched than the man on the left, but it made Weiss feel just as uneasy.

"Uh…" Weiss said, stammering at first. She quickly regained her composure. "Yes. I am ready."

"Good." the man on the left said, turning and motioning towards a car behind him "Let's go."

Weiss exited the house with a false confidence, but she was absolutely terrified. She kept thinking of the movies she has seen where men in all black take people away, never to be seen again. She silently got into the backseat of the car, which was a blacked out SUV, and buckled the seatbelt. The two men got in the front seats, with the pale man getting in the driver's seat. The man started the car, and the once clear windows became opaque. Weiss looked around franticly. The man in the passenger seat turned around and looked at her.

"Do not be afraid. This is for security reasons. I can assure you that nothing bad will happen to you here." he then turned back around and looked out the front window.

Despite what the man had said, Weiss was still terrified. Why didn't they want her to see out of the side windows? Did they not want people to see them with her? Were they afraid that she was going to attract too much attention to them? She had many questions, but all she could think of at the moment was whether or not Jace had gotten her message. In fact, that is what she was thinking about all morning. She sat back in her seat and waited for the men to tell her when it was time to get out.

The ride seemed to go by surprisingly fast. Weiss didn't know if it was because they were traveling at a high rate of speed or because of the almost complete silence in the car. After what seemed like only a few minutes, the windows on the SUV became clear again, and Weiss could tell the were not close to the main city at all. She knew this because the car was driving on a two lane road up a hill, and she could see the city she was in a little while ago. She then looked out the front windshield. She was surprised at the simplicity of the building.

The building was sitting at the top of the hill, and it appeared to be circular. The building was constructed of a light grey material that resembled steel or aluminum. However, the majority of the building was made of glass. Weiss was unable to see through it for some reason, but she just assumed that it was because there were rooms built in the middle. Two large fences surrounded the entire facility, each approximately fifteen feet tall. The fences were made of steel bars in a grid pattern, and there were several feet in between the fences. A large, square blue and grey sign sat just outside the fences, next to the road. On the left side of the sign there was a circle with what appeared to be a picture of a Nevermore printed on it, and on the right side there was the letters "ABL" and an illegible sentence below the letters.

The SUV was driving towards two gates just as high as the fences next to it, but made of chain link instead of steel bars. As the car got close to the gates, both gates opened simultaneously. Weiss remained silent as the car pulled up to the front of the building. The vehicle stopped, and Weiss unbuckled her seatbelt. The man with olive skin spoke to her without turning around.

"Follow us as soon as you get out. Don't go running off anywhere, or bad things will happen."

Both of the men stepped out of the car in unison and began walking towards the building, Weiss following close behind them. A short walkway lead them from the car to a set of double doors, and the interior of the building.

The inside of the building was a dull grey from the floors to the ceiling. Weiss looked around for any scrap of color other than grey. Grey chairs, grey tables, grey lamps, grey uniforms. She stuck out in her white suit, which was apparent by almost everyone in her line of sight looking at her. Almost everyone. There was one guard who wasn't looking in here direction. He looked familiar, but Weiss' line of sight was broken by one of the men before she could tell who it was.

"Follow me." the pale man said, walking to Weiss' left. Weiss followed obediently. She looked out of the wall of windows as she walked, hoping to see something other than grey. Eventually the man in front of her stopped next to a door. He turned towards it and opened it, motioning for Weiss to enter. She entered the room, and saw only two chairs and a table. A single light hung above the table.

It was an interrogation chamber.

Weiss turned around about to ask the man who brought her why she was here, but the door was slammed shut in her face. Weiss began to panic. She frantically tried the handle, but it was locked from the outside. She looked around the room for any exit, but was unable to find anything. She tried the door again, but it was still locked. She took a deep breath, and sat down in one of the chairs. She had to think this through. However, only a few seconds after she sat down the door was opened, and a man walked in.

He was probably in his mid-thirties but looked almost exactly like her father. He had the same hairstyle, the same moustache, and he even wore a similar suit as her father sometimes wore, except the man's suit was grey instead of white and blue.

He entered the room alone, and sat down across from Weiss. He looked at Weiss for a few seconds before speaking.

"Ms. Schnee." he said. He had a deep voice and he spoke slowly, almost like he knew something about Weiss that she didn't know. "Do you know why I brought you here?"

"B-Business?" Weiss asked.

The man chuckled slightly "No." He stood up. "Do you know who I am?"

"No."

"I am the head of research and development here at Atlas Biotech. You can call me whatever you like, but most people call me The Creator."

"Why is that?"

"It doesn't matter now." He said, walking behind Weiss. He stopped behind her for a few seconds before walking in front of her again. "Do you know the phrase 'Dress for success'?"

Weiss nodded silently.

"Good. Then you may know why I resemble someone from your family." He began to laugh crazily. After a few seconds he regained his composure and sat back down. THe Creator leaned in towards Weiss.

"You have met one of my creations already, correct? A few in fact."

"Your creations?" Weiss asked, knowing full well what he was talking about.

"Yes! My creations! I believe that one of them ate someone right in front of your eyes!" He leaned in further towards Weiss.

"I-I heard about that, but I don't know what you're talking about. I've never met any of your creations. What do they look like?"

The Creator slammed his fist on the table. "You're lying! I've seen the video! You were there!" He stood up. "Let me go get one to rough you up a bit! Stay here!"

He then quickly exited the room. Weiss sat still for a few seconds before jumping up and frantically searching for a way out. She tried the door again, but it was still locked. She looked for anything, a vent, a window, anything. But she found nothing.

Then she heard it.

The door opened, and a guard stood in the doorway. It was the guard from earlier, the familiar looking one. Weiss didn't know what to do, so she charged him hoping to escape. To Weiss' surprise, the guard opened his arms as if to catch Weiss. She continued to run at the guard, not knowing if she should stop. After a second she tackled him, knocking both herself and the guard into the hallway. She tried to get up, but the guard was holding her tightly. She struggled to escape his grasp.

"You're not going anywhere Snowflake."

Weiss stopped struggling. She looked at the guard's face, which was inches from hers. It was Jace.

"J-Jace?! How'd you get here?!" She cried.

"Keep your voice down!" He said, attempting to stand up. "I'll explain as we walk, now stand up."

Weiss got up, followed by Jace.

"Let's walk." Jace said, taking Weiss' hand. Weiss blushed slightly, but didn't resist.

Jace began walking the opposite way that Weiss had come from.

"So I think you need to see the stuff they don't want you to see. But we're going to need a distraction." He looked at Weiss, before stopping in front of what appeared to be an elevator.

"Jace…?" Weiss began, but trailed off. Jace looked her in the eyes, before producing a folded piece of paper from his right pocket.

"Trust me, I'll be fine." He handed her the piece of paper. "Know how to use a gun?"

"Why?" She asked.

"I'll take that as a no." He said, rubbing his chin. "What about a knife?"

"I use a rapier?" She said quizzically.

"I know that. I'm asking if you know how to use a knife."

"I guess so. It can't be that different, right? But why do I need one?"

"Trust me, you'll want one down there."

"Down where?"

"Down in the Caliginosity."

"The what?"

"The Grimm factory."

"What?!"

"You'll be behind a lot of armor, but the scientists don't like it when you're down there. Just flash this at them and they'll shit themselves and run off."

"But won't they know who I am?"

"That's where this cones in." Jace grabbed a duffel bag that was lying on the floor next to the elevator. He unzipped it and produced a mask from it, handing it to Weiss. It was a Grimm mask, similar to the ones the White Fang wore, but it covered the wearer's face completely.

"Put in on." Weiss grabbed the mask and put the mask up to her face, and it seemed to stick magically.

"Now that elevator isn't going to open unless it gets sent up from the bottom. I'll cause a distraction which will lead some of the guards up from down there. Slip into the elevator as soon as everyone is out of it. Enter that code into the elevator, then press the down arrow. There will be a hallway as soon as you get out. On the right side there will be a room titled 'Observation Room'. Go into that room. Take a look, and maybe some pictures, then get out."

"How do you know this stuff? And how am I going to get out?" Weiss asked.

"There should be a room right across that says 'Storage' or something similar. Go in there, then look for a large crate that is labeled with a bunch of random symbols. They should look like Grimm markings. Open it, get into the suit, and run out. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Just get back to your friends safely. Oh and take the suit to the address that's also on that paper. I'm sure that the owner will want that suit."

Weiss unfolded the paper to look at the code and the address. The code seemed to be fifteen random numbers and letters, and the address was for a mechanic's shop that Weiss had heard of once before.

'Lily's,' she thought 'If I remember correctly my father tried to shut them down because the owner is a faunus.' She looked at Jace.

"Why here?"

"She'll know you're coming." Jace replied "Ask for Lily." There was a shout in the distance, and it sounded very angry. Jace turned towards the shout.

"The Creator." His voice was dripping with disgust. He turned towards Weiss "That's my cue. Remember the plan, and stay safe. Do not be afraid to stab any guard who tries to hurt you. They're mostly robots anyways."

"Like Penny? And mostly? Whats that supposed to mean?" Weiss asked.

"Sure, I guess. Dunno who that is but if it helps you than yes." Jace produced another mask from the bag. This mask was very different from the one he gave Weiss. It was circular, and looked more like a face. The top half of the mask was white and the bottom half was a blood red. A wicked smile was carved into the mask where a person's mouth would usually be, and the areas around the eye holes were jet black. When Jace put it on, It gave Weiss the chills. His emerald green eyes stood out, reminding Weiss of the first time she met him.

"You have now dodged three of my questions." Weiss said angrily "Are you hiding something from me?"

"Make that four. Now let's stage a robbery gone wrong." Jace said, reaching into the duffle bag again. "What do you think I should wear? I'm thinking a suit. No! No! A bomb disposal suit!"

"Would that actually protect you?" Weiss asked.

"Only as well as these clothes would." Jace said "Only downside of being able to alter the appearance of my clothes. They don't protect me anymore than they usually would. But at least I don't have to pack a change of clothes whenever I go out." He laughed a little, then removed a pistol from the bag.

"Have fun!" Jace said happily before running down the hallway towards the shouts.
