'Heh, looks like Jacques won't be having any grandchildren.' Winter thought as she looked over the report that she had gotten from the doctors.

Klein had kicked her brother over 216 times in his balls. He had damaged them beyond repair, to the point that for his own safety, they had to be removed from her brother. Her brother would never breed, which meant that Jacques DNA would not live on and the scum that was in his testicals would go no further down the genetic line.

Her mother had taken the news very well, as in, she had stopped drinking from shame, anger, and sadness, and was now in the courtyard drinking some of the strongest booze they had from sheer joy. She had never, in her entire life seen her mother happier than the moment that she had been informed of Jacuqes timely passing on into the next life.

May he rot.

"So, you killed your father by pushing him out the window?" James Ironwood questioned as he looked at the broken window.

He wasn't surprised Winter killed Jacques, he was expecting either Winter or Weiss to do it eventually. James was "friends" with Jacques, but that was business friends. Jacques was a good person to have on your side when you needed money to fund weapons research. The man would fund anything if it made him look better, and thanks to that funding they had weapons that made the other kingdom's weapons look like sex toys.

"How would the world react in Jacques was placed on trial for the genocide of the Faunus species?" Winter asked with a serious look to James. She wanted to know his answer.

"... The Faunus would rage and demand his death... and I'm pretty sure only the most avid of Faunus racists would be on his side. The rises in Grimm activity would be immense." James noted as he realized that while Jacques deserved to spend the rest of his life in jail, being the bitch of whoever was in there, and getting a slow and painful death... such actions were not the best for humanity. They would be nothing more than self-serving revenge for the remaining Faunus. "You still commited murder, and it was against regulation." James pointed out to Winter, though he wasn't being too harsh on her.

Winter simply shrugged her shoulders after a moment.

"Jacques commited suicide, took his own life after he admit to me the crime he pulled. His last moments were filled with regret, and he dearly regret his actions." Winter spoke with a wave of her hand. She played off Jacques death as if it were nothing, and to her, it was nothing. "Even if I did have something to do with his death... what would my crime have been?" Winter asked as she tossed documents to James.

He caught them and looked at the proof of Jacques involvement in the genocide.

"You did well, even if you were caught, this alone would be enough for everyone to assume that you were just doing your military duty. He struggled, and while resisting arrest, his life was lost. Though, the public in Atlas were ready to believe your lie." James noted, seeing as all across Atlas the news of Jacques "suicide" were spreading like wildfire. Thankfully, they were able to control the news to prevent it from spreading to the other kingdoms just yet.

People would be out for Winter's and Weiss' blood in an effort to get some revenge, and the remaining Faunus from Menagerie were going to be at Beacon in just a few short days in order to settle down. The cance for revenge would be too hard for them to stop, and chaos was the last thing that was needed.

"I'm going to go to Beacon, and meet with the survivors. I will go to them personally, and explain to them the truth. I'm going to make ammends for what my fa... I guess he isn't my father, huh? I'm going to make ammends for what Jacques did. If they want blood, they can have my head... I just hope they'll spare Weiss." Winter said as she calmly accepted the fact that the remaining Faunus could very well ask her for her life as retribution. She had accepted it, and while she was afraid of death, she would allow herself to be killed if it meant making up for the genocide of an entire race... and protecting her remaining family.

"Ghira is a man of honor. He won't hold a grudge against you, for something Jacques did. Anyway, even if he held a grudge, he is a smart man. He's seen enough death, and I doubt he wants anymore blood to spill." James spoke as he sat down in front of Winter. She was no longer in his military, she would have to take up the SDC. The company was too important for somebody inexperienced to take it over. Her mother was an alchoholic, and that wasn't good for the company, and Weiss was simply inexperienced in dealing with this business.

Nobody trusted Whitley with the business, they didn't want another Jacques Schnee to take over and destroy what little remained of the Faunus.

"... I would still like to offer my apologies in person. Vale's council is... rather unreliable in their ways. I fear they might try to invoke some sort of Repopulation Act." Winter said with her fingers lacing together. Vale's ruling body was flawed, not as flawed as Mistral or Vacuo, but it still had it's flaws.

Vale treated Faunus the best out of the Kingdoms, true.

With the Faunus' numbers down so low, it was obvious that in order to prevent them from dying out, some sort of Restoration Act would be placed. With the Faunus' ability to breed with Humans, and still produce Faunus children (50/50 chance), there was little doubt that they would try and play the heroes by making a point of saving their species.

"I doubt they would take well to that. The council would try and push upon them the importance of their survival... and they need time to grieve before even thinking about repopulation." James agreed with Winter on the issue. Without being given time to properly grieve the loss of their species, they would riot about how they were being treated like animals once again.

A new White Fang could be born if they weren't careful.

Faunus were sentient beings, and unlike animals, they were sentient enough that they didn't just want to breed, they wanted to fall in love and start families. Being forced into a situation where they had to breed would hurt them even more than just having their species wiped it. It would remain them that humans considered them to be little more than animals, who would breed when told to breed.

'How can I show them I'm serious about repenting?' Winter asked herself in her mind.

She had to do this, for her own honor as a Schnee. She had to redeem the name that had been dragged through the mud. She had a clean the name that had been used to wipe a country off the map, and destory a species. The name her grandfather used to bring joy to people, and give them a fighting chance against the grimm.

"Oh... and for my own curiousity, before I leave. Have you put any thought into finding out who your real father is?" James asked a personal question, but Winter was more than happy to talk about it with him.

James had been more of a father to her than Jacques ever had.

"According to my mother, my father is different than Weiss' father. I had my blood drawn, and the results didn't give me a name. All I know is that my father... was a faunus." Winter said with a wince, because she was pretty sure that meant that her father was dead. Either dead by something, or death by disease. The chances of her father being one of the few remainings faunus was... very slim. "She didn't give me too many details. All she remembered was that she had a threesome with a faunus man, and his wife while visiting Menagerie with Grandfather... before Jacques made the SDC the enemy of Faunus." Winter noted near the end.

The sex that had ended up with her own birth had happened before Jacques had enough time to make the SDC into villains against Faunus. Her mother and granfather had visited Menagerie to see how some of her grandfather's friends were doing... and they met a young couple of faunus in a bar.

9 months later, she was born.

"I can't say I blame your mother. If I was married to Jacques, I would sleep with hundreds of men and women just to shame him." James said with a nod of agreement.

Winter snorted.

"I told Jacques the same thing." Winter noted with a smile on her face as she shared a small laugh with the general. Jame's sat back down, and Winter sighed and looked out the window. "I just don't know how I'm going to tell Weiss. She always sought out his approval, even if she didn't want to admit it. She has daddy issues, and I fear this will hurt her. She doesn't know mother was unfaithful... I'm afraid it will affect her opinion on mother." Winter said, not wanting to drag her mother's name through the mud in Weiss' eyes.

Her mother had only turned to cheating and drinking because of Jacques, every man and woman that their mother slept with (yes, women were included) was just another way for her to stick it to Jacques. Now a lot of things made sense to Winter, the times when her mother would come home drunk with... special friends that she took to the guest bedroom. The friends would be gone by morning, and her mother would be in a better mood... until after she would see Jacques and start drinking again.

Now that Jacques was dead, Winter would try and get her mother's drinking problems sorted out... and try and find her mother a real man that she didn't have to cheat on.

"Weiss is a mature girl, and I have no doubt she will disapprove of your mother..." James didn't have any words to explain what she had been doing without sounding cruel.

"My mother slept around General, she took many lovers. There is no sugarcoating it, even if her reasons were... acceptable, the fact that she has slept with a great number of people is still unacceptable... well, it will be if it continues." Winter said with some disdain for the fact that she was going to have to have this conversation with her mother later.

When her mother cheated on Jacques, that wasn't shaming the Schnee name, instead that was shaming Jacques name as a horrible husband who had a wife that was sleeping around. That spread rumors that he was a horrible husband and a horrible lover. So, her actions didn't reflect on the family as much as they reflected on Jacques.

Now though, her actions would reflect on the Schnee name, now that Jacques was dead she couldn't blame her actions on trying to get back at Jacques.

"I'm sure your mother will be fine. Anyway, I have a trip to Vale. I have to promote Human/Faunus relationships... there is an upside to this after all." James said to Winter, and she raised an eyebrow.

"Oh really?" Winter asked with doubt.

What could be positive about any of this.

"The cure for the disease, it was only made possible because of the love between Naruto Scarlatina and Yang Xiao Long... He gave her his arm to save her life... and that single actions saved the lives of all Faunus... a species was saved from total extinction because of love between the species. If that doesn't promote good relations between human and faunus, not much else will." James said, and Winter blinked for a moment when she had an idea strike her. "Anyway, I want to see how the arm I had made for him fits." James said with a more pleasant tone.

He had that arm requested to him by Taiyang, and he owed Taiyang a few favors anyway, so the least he could do was see how the boy liked his new arm.

"I'll join you... and I'll see if mother would be willing to join. I don't want to inform Weiss of fa... Jacques passing over text or scroll call. I should do it in person." Winter spoke with confidence.

She was going to Vale.
