I don't own RWBY
With Summer
"Can you lift up your right arm?" the nurse asked me and I did and there was no soreness this time I guess it was from all the rest I got since I was in the infirmary.
Yeah. I had to stay in the infirmary for one more day to make sure my soreness healed up completely, it did and now I just wanted to get this over with so I can just… well get out of the infirmary it was insanely boring in here with nothing to do except sleep or look up at the ceiling and think and let your mind go somewhere.
Those can only go so far as to ease your boredom… not that they did it well anyway. "Okay everything seems to be completely healed. You are free to go" the nurse said and I stretched out "Finally" I said in relief as I started to head out the door "Wait first!" I heard the nurse shout "…oh my gosh…" I said annoyed under my breath turning back to see the nurse walking to with something in her hand "I forgot, Professor Ozpin asked me to give this to you" she said handing me what could best be described to be a something that was a white rectangle with a yellow diamond in the middle.
I took it from her hand and looked at it "Uhh… thanks" I said to her and she smiled "Your welcome" she said before going back to do whatever she did here.
I opened the door and closed it and looked around and wondered where I should go "This could be a problem" I went down one hallway and turned and there was more. Then I remembered something Ruby's room was somewhere near here I think… it had to be right.
Well it was official I'm lost… I had absolutely no idea where I was going and oddly enough there was barely anybody in the hallways which was odd. I couldn't have been dreaming, if I had been I would've been my normal self instead of looking like Summer.
I still continued to wonder the halls of Beacon hoping to at least bump into Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang or any of my teammates from the team Ozpin put me on. I was about to just give up and go back to the infirmary to see if they could find Ruby or Ozpin for me but it wasn't until I heard some people talking in the distance.
I ran over to where I heard it and looked over the corner and saw four people. One was an orange haired girl but the other three however… were something else.
There was a guy who I can best describe to be a blonde haired King Arthur, a red haired girl who looked to be a girl Achilles and lastly there was a black haired boy who looked like a guy Mulan.
Maybe they knew their way around here? They had to right.
"Hey! You there, girl Achilles!" I shouted and she gave me a weird look "Uhh… Hi Ruby? What's with the white cloak" "Did you get taller?!" the orange haired girl shouted getting right up in my face and I slowly pushed her back "I'm not Ruby I'm-" "Don't be silly of course you are… unless…" she trailed off "Unless what?" the person who resembled King Arthur asked. Then all of a sudden she grabbed my shirt and held me to her face "…unless you're Ruby from the future! Tell me what's the future like!" she said shaking me insanely fast.
"S-Stop that!" I shouted grabbing her hands and thankfully she stopped "I'm not Ruby from the future" I stated and the girl didn't seem to get it what I was trying to tell her "Pfft… don't be like that future Ruby if you feel uncomfortable talking about what happens future then I'm okay" she finished up with her hands on her hips.
I looked behind her to her other friends which I assumed they were "Is she always like this?" I asked "Pretty much" the person who resembled King Arthur answered "Look I'm trying to find Ruby do any of you know where she is?" I asked but then the orange haired girl came in front of me again "We can't let you see your past self Ruby! It could cause a… time… whatever" she spoke then the guy Mulan facepalmed "Time paradox Nora, and secondly I don't think this is Ruby from the future" he answered making Nora look back in confusion "What how then?" she asked then the girl Achilles spoke up.
"Because if this was Ruby from the future she would've recognized us" she explained "Wait! What if she got amnesia?" I seriously facepalmed at this.
Man… Nora was starting to get annoying.
"Do any of you have anything that get in touch with Ruby?" I asked around and the girl Achilles pulled out the same thing the nurse gave me earlier "Yes as a matter of fact we do" she said pulling it apart showing a holographic screen.
… okay I have to admit that was pretty cool. Seriously I retractable phone what person wouldn't want that.
"Hello Ruby… well something interesting to say the least… well we found someone who looks like an older version of you… uhh… in the hallways somewhere near the infirmary" I heard her speak through the the phone "What happened?" I asked "Ruby said she's on her way" she answered "How long will we have to-" "MOM!" I heard Ruby's voice shout from behind me and tackle me into a hug.
Thankfully it didn't knock me down "Woah, woah… she's your mother?" the King Arthur kid asked and Ruby let go of me and nodded her head happily "Yep" "Hey Ruby your mind introducing me to the girl Achilles, the guy Mulan and the King Arthur kid" I asked and they just gave me weird looks.
"King Arthur… I kinda like the sound of that…" the blonde person said looking up thinking "Don't get used to it, and to answer your question my name is Lie Ren but just refer to me as Ren" the guy Mulan introduced "My name is Pyrrha Nikos and this is Jaune Arc. It's nice to meet you Miss Rose" the girl Achilles introduced glad I got all their names now.
"Well nice to meet all of you and please just call me Summer. Calling me miss just makes me feel old" I explained, just hoping they'd go with it. I did not want to be called a miss.
"Alright Miss… I mean Summer so is there any reason why you called us those names?" I stopped when Pyrrha said that. I guess I didn't think she'd ask that…argh… I should've just called them other things like gladiator girl or something.
"Uhh… I… just… see ya!" I shouted then ran into a wall "OW! Why does that keep happening!" I shouted holding my nose with my hands "Uhh… guys I gotta go make sure my mom didn't break her nose" I heard Ruby say then felt her pick me up "Come on mom let's go somewhere else" Ruby said before she accidentally made me walk into a wall "Ow!… come on!" "Sorry mom!" I heard Ruby shouted before we took a fast walk down the hallway.
With Team JNPR
Team JNPR watched as Ruby and Summer went down the hallway "Do you think that they could've made that anymore suspicious if they tried" Ren said obviously catching on the their odd behaviour.
"I agree" Pyrrha spoke up "Those names she called us. I don't recognize any of them from any history books I've read" she continued on "Why didn't I get a name?" Nora whined "Not important right now Nora, what is though is getting to the bottom this" Ren explained then turned to Jaune who looked like he had zoned out.
"Jaune?" Pyrrha said shaking his shoulder snapping him out of his little trance "Oh, sorry still think about that name she called me, it was so cool" he said "Well don't get used to it. Now come on we need to get to the bottom of this mystery!" Nora shouted running off making the others sigh.
"Let's hope she doesn't get too crazy with this" Ren said as him and the others went after Nora to keep her from doing anything crazy.
With Summer
Me and Ruby were walking to where the rest of her friends were, and thankfully I didn't get a nosebleed after bumping into the walls.
Throughout the whole walk I was constantly bringing my hand up to my nose expecting to see blood but nothing was there, every single time I check there was no blood.
Ruby did catch on to me though "Um… mom why do you keep checking your nose?" she asked me "It's just so weird… I bash into a wall face first then into another wall and I somehow be some miracle don't have a nosebleed… I just don't get it" I said to her and she giggled "What's so funny?" I asked her and she looked at me still holding back some of her giggles.
"I guess no one brought up aura to you yet?" Ruby said which caught my attention "Aura?… uhh… what is that?" I asked and she giggled again "Basically to put it simple terms it's what protects you from attacks and that how you didn't get a nosebleed" Ruby explained and well it surprisingly made sense though not fully.
"Okay so… it's like a force field" I said but and she laughed "Yeah I guess that's one way of looking at it" Ruby said then we arrived at some doors "What's this place?" I asked "The library" that immediately wanted me to run… and so I did.
"OW! COME ON!" I shouted holding me nose after falling down "Mom are you okay?" Ruby asked running to my side "Yeah… I think so" "What did you run off like that… or at least try to?" Ruby asked helping me up "Why do walls hate me?" I jokingly asked myself making Ruby laugh.
"Oh and to answer your question Ruby, I just don't like reading" I answered "Why?" Ruby asked "My mom made me do it and wouldn't let me do anything else except read. It was absolute torture" I explained though I was willing to bet Ruby wanted to go further.
"How was it… torture?" she asked "The books she picked out for me just didn't interest me in the slightest. So it dragged on… and on… and on… and on-" "I-I get the idea mom" Ruby said interrupting me "Sorry, I don't have anything against people who like to read… its just not for me Ruby" I explained and she gave me an assuring smile.
"Don't worry mom you have to do any reading" she said enthusiastically "Now come along" she said and I followed "Ruby can you tell me how one second I'm standing in the middle of a hallway then the next I'm bashing into a wall?" I asked and she slightly laughed "That's just your semblance" "My what now?" I asked she was about to open her mouth but someone else finished for her.
"It's a power unique to you and you only" I turned and saw Raven stand behind us then I heard Ruby let out a growl "Hey Raven" I greeted "Hello" she said in her usual tone "Why are you here?" Ruby aggressively asked "Woah… Ruby calm down" I asked her but she wouldn't listen.
Ruby stomped up to Raven and looked her in the eye "Why did you leave Yang?!" wait… did I hear that right? Did Ruby just ask her if she left Yang.
"I don't need to answer to the likes of you" Raven said glaring at her.
Okay, time to stop this before it gets out of hand "Alright, everybody chill" I said separating them "I don't know what happened but let's not fight over it" I continued on hoping it would get them to stop.
Though I had a tough time telling "Raven, why are you even here to begin with?" I asked her "Ozpin asked me to find you after you weren't in the infirmary and my job has been finished" she finished up walking away without saying anything else.
I heard Ruby let out a growl from beside me "Jeez, Ruby calm down what's got you so worked up?" I asked her but she just tried to put it off "It's… it's nothing" she said trying to get off the subject by walking ahead.
Should I try and talk to her? I mean I am her mother now… as weird as that sounds even though I was a guy first. But I should at least give it a shot.
So I grabbed her shoulder which made her stop walking "Ruby… I'm not stupid, I can tell by your voice that something involving Raven is bothering you" I said and her breathing got a bit shaky "We can talk about it later if you want!" I shouted and saw Ruby wipe away a tear from her eye.
"Yeah… lets do that. Come on, I'm sure Yang and the others are waiting for us" Ruby said trying to gain some of her enthusiasm back.
I'm glad she was but what was bothering me the most right now was what Ruby brought up earlier…
… why did Raven leave her.
Oooookay… its been awhile since the last chapter and I apologize. I haven't been in the right mood lately and with Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia around the corner it's kinda hard to keep focus on my stories with all the excitement. So as always any and all feedback is appreciated See ya.
