Chapter 37: I Missed You

Gangrel stretched as he stepped off of the train attempting to work out a crick in his shoulder caused by sleeping in a seat too small for his massive stature, turning around he took in the cross Kingdom train for a moment, heavily armoured with gun emplacements on the roof of each car and carriages dedicated completely to artillery pieces at each end, eventually Blake made her way onto the platform blinking in the midday sun, the trip from Vaccuo to Vale took over twelve hours by land and the feline Faunus had bags under her bleary eyes due to her inability to sleep while travelling
"It's good to be home" she noted with a yawn Gangrel nodded in agreement
"Speaking of home I'll meet you back at Beacon I'm gonna go see my Dad he'll be at work, go get some sleep Blake don't jump on Yang as soon as you get through the door"
"Gang shut up I do not 'jump on' people" Blake huffed
"Yeah sure" Gangrel smirked "And you weren't texting her all night the whole time we were in Vaccuo"
"I have no idea what Weiss sees in you" Blake grumbled earning herself a snort and a rude hand gesture from the Bear-Faunus before the two of them parted ways, Gangrel noticing the chill in the fall air as he made his way through the city streets and being thankful to be out of the oppressive heat of southern Kingdom eventually reaching his fathers gas station he saw Bjorn Slate in the forecourt hunched over working on one of the pumps
"Hey dad!" he called, hearing the voice the older bear rose to his feet and wiped his hands with dirty rag before the two of them shared a brief hug
"Wasn't expecting to see you" he noted
"Yeah well classes don't start again for a few more days but I came back from Vaccuo a little early" Gangrel explained
"What did you get yourself into this time?" his father groaned
"Nothing" Gangrel shrugged, seeing his fathers disbelieving look he rolled his eyes "Okay fine, knocked a kid out within five minutes of being in Vaccuo and had a sit down with the head of the Faunus Mafia, they bought me and Blake train tickets and told us not to go back there. Happy?"
"Happy? No, used to it? Yeah pretty much" Bjorn chuckled "The Faunus Mafia, that's a new one though"
"Remember Fagin from Atlas?" Gangrel asked
"One of the kids from the care home, the one I said was nasty piece of work the first time I met him?"
"Yeah that one"
"Oums' sake Gang you pick some real winners, out of all those kids from Atlas I only really liked Kai, he seemed to have a good head on his shoulders Felix and Luna were okay I suppose, I told you Adam was trouble, I told you Felix was a scum bag, Harry was an idiot and Blake needed to stop following Adam around before she got herself hurt"
"You done?" Gangrel growled "Kai's dead, Felix is dead I've spent the last few days trying figure out what the fuck to say to Luna, I know Harry's an idiot he got himself caught for some stupid shit, Blake is helping me try and stop Adam and Fagin is going to help"
"What did you have to promise him for that?" Bjorn asked pinching the bridge of his nose
"Adam doesn't get handed over to the authorities, he dies. Fagin wants control of whatever is left of the White Fang in Vale when this is over as well"
"Have you taken a knock on the head son? You want to give that kind of power to someone like Fagin Grey?" Gangrel merely shrugged at the question
"Fagin is in it for the money, he's scummy but he's practical. Crime isn't going to disappear in our part of town just because Adam gets taken out of the equation would you rather have another maniac replace him? There won't be another attack like the breach if he's the one calling the shots"
"Fair point" Bjorn conceded with a sigh "I don't like any of this but it's a fair point and since you came here without bringing that girlfriend of yours with you even though I still want to meet her properly you can help me out with these pumps for a while before you head back to Beacon"
"No problem, let me just drop my bag inside" Gangrel smiled before heading inside the gas station oblivious to a pair of mismatched eyes that watched him with manic glee before vanishing.

Blake entered the dormitory to find the room empty but could hear the sound of the shower running
"I'm back" she called out as she dropped her bag by her bed and removed her boots and coat-tailed vest, noticing a book with a familiar cover on Yangs' bunk as she did so
"I'll be out in a sec" Yangs' voice called back from the bathroom, the sound of the shower stopping immediately, Blake reached up and removed her bow as was becoming a common practice for her when in the dormitory; seconds later Yang emerged from the bathroom clad in nothing but a towel wet hair plastered across her face and back smiling brightly as she strode across the room and wrapped her arms around Blake in a crushing hug
"You're wet" Blake noted as she wrapped her arms around Yangs' waist
"Yeah I am" the blonde replied with a wink, earning a bemused sigh from the feline before pulling her into a kiss
"Well I see you've been reading Ninjas Of Love" Blake replied with a smile as the two broke apart
"I have" Yang grinned kissing Blakes' lips again "You text me every night while you were away telling me you were thinking of me while you read your copy, I had to read it for myself"
"What do you think?" Blake asked, Yang cupped her lovers face with her hands
"I think it's been too long since I told you I love you in person" with that their lips met again, the kiss quickly growing more passionate as lips parted and tongues met, Yangs' towel falling to the floor as Blakes' hands roamed across her body seemingly needing to feel as much of the Blondes' skin as possible, Yangs reached up and gently teased Blakes' Faunus ears eliciting a deep throated groan of pleasure the Feline gripped Yang tighter as her knees almost gave way under her from the sensation Blake broke them apart momentarily to remove her shirt the second the garment fell to the floor Yang was on her again pinning her against the post of the bunk bed hands expertly working her Faunus attributes while she planted a trail of kisses along her neck and collarbone listening to her partners panting breath and gasps of pleasure; Blake ran a hand through Yangs' golden locks while the other found its' way between her partners legs her first touch causing Yangs' breath to hitch before the blonde responded by gently biting a sensitive spot on the Faunus' neck
"Fuck, Yang I love you" she moaned as the blonde bucked her hips against her hand while moving from her neck to her lips, their ragged breaths mingling as they kissed Yangs' hands fumbling with the clasp of Blakes' bra as she struggled to focus on anything other than the way her lovers fingers teasing her clit felt, breaking apart for a moment Blake discarded her bra and struggled to catch her breath when she made to continue the blonde stopped her, staring at her face intently as she noticed the bags under her eyes for the first time
"Blake you're exhausted" she said softly "When did you last sleep?" the Faunus thought to herself
"It's actually been a couple days" she admitted Yang frowned before taking her hand and guiding her down to the Blondes' bunk
"You really don't want to carry on?" Blake asked with a sly grin as rested her head on Yangs' breasts, wrapping an arm around her waist
"I want you to get some sleep, we can pick up where we left off later" she replied as she pulled Blake closer
"If the others are out of the way" Blake amended, Yang giving a quiet groan having evidently forgotten about the other two members of Team RWBY
"I love you Yang" Blake whispered
"Love you too Blake" she replied kissing the top of Blakes Head, the Faunus leaned up
"And the next time we're alone together like this" she proceeded to whisper in her lovers ear her promises and graphic descriptions making Yang Xiao Long blush.

Gangrel had made his way back to the dorm without seeing anyone he knew and found Team GRAPs' dormitory deserted when he arrived depositing his duffel bag he moved over to the stand his team kept their equipment on, his own armour and swords being the only items currently adorning it he inspected them closely, he trusted his team not to damage or tamper with them but he was still particular about who he let handle his gear, satisfied that all was in order he removed his shirt and headed towards the bathroom before being stopped by a knock on the door
"It's open" he called out, the door opened to reveal Weiss Schnee wearing a very annoyed expression
"Hey babe" he grinned "I missed you"
"So much you didn't tell me you'd be back today" the heiress huffed
"I wanted to surprise you….and get a shower first, I paid my Dad a visit and ended up helping him with some maintenance work"
"We've barely spoken in days" Weiss griped as she closed the door behind her making her way across the room
"I know, I'm sorry; I've just been dealing with stuff"
"You know you could have called me and got it off your chest" Weiss admonished him gently, her expression softening
"If I did I've started breaking down crying again and somebody needed to keep it together" Gangrel murmured "Luna was a mess"
"Understandably" Weiss noted
"Yeah" Gangrel agreed "Blake did what she could but I can't honestly say if she's going to be okay in the long run I was expecting to have to make a lot the arrangements but Fagin stepped in and handled it"
"Fagin?"
"Fagin Grey, from the orphanage" Gangrel clarified "Take every racist stereotype about Faunus being degenerate violent criminals who'll steal anything that isn't bolted down and put them all into one person, that's Fagin Grey; he's also Adams' right hand in Vaccuo"
"Did he see you?" Weiss gasped "Are you okay?"
"That's why we had to leave early" the Bear-Faunus shrugged sitting down on his bunk, Weiss making herself comfortable on his lap "He wanted us out of there so we're not his problem, but now he knows Adam killed Felix"
"How did he take that?"
"He's willing to help us get rid of Adam to an extent, he's going to limit Adams' ability to smuggle people and resources in and out of Vaccuo; which considering the White Fang in Vale is reeling, we never had much pull in Mistral and mobilising from Lower Atlas is always tricky actually severely limits him"
"Why would mobilising from Lower Atlas be a problem?" Weiss asked
"No way to do it by land, the amount of money needed to bribe officials to smuggle that many people out by sea is ridiculous, too much security around air-ships, Atlesian military police love coming down hard on Faunus for any reason they can think up on the spot so we always need a certain level of redundancy just to keep things running, plus the amount of security from Atlas currently in Vale; it's just not practical"
"Sounds like you've thought this through" Weiss said with a slightly teasing edge to her voice
"Yeah well, me and Adam had a few drunk conversations back in the day about how we'd go about storming Upper Atlas if we had the people for it, we both agreed it'd be near impossible"
"The Atlas council would just close the blast doors at the divide and stop sending Hunters down to deal with the Grimm" Weiss said simply, Gangrel smirked
"They would and then they'd realise that they'd left all of their Dust down there with us basically giving us the Kingdom, besides those blast doors aren't indestructible; my swords and armour are made from a melted down one" Weiss did a double take at that
"Where did you get something that can melt a….No more importantly where did you get the…." she trailed off before sighing "I don't want to know the answer to that question do I?"
"Probably not" Gangrel chuckled before planting a light kiss on her lips which she eagerly returned before pushing him backwards onto his bed and positioning herself over him
"Now back to my original point" she said grinning "I've barely heard from you while you were aware and I've missed you, you dolt" leaning down she kissed him again, his hands finding her hips as their lips parted and Weiss's fingers curled in his hair
"If this is the welcome home I get" the Bear Faunus panted as they broke apart "Maybe I should-"
"Do not finish that thought" Weiss warned before kissing him again, Gangrel helping her remove her jacket before gently caressing the soft skin of her thighs causing her to gasp at the contact, the Faunus repositioned them so that he had more freedom of movement his eyes silently asking permission as his hand drifted under her skirt, Weiss wrapped her arms around his shoulders and took his bottom lip between her teeth as Gangrels began to tease her through her underwear, her arousal already apparent he began kissing her neck as he continued, eventually moving her underwear aside and gently sliding a single digit into her, Weiss's gasps and moans of pleasure grew fervent as he built up a steady rhythm
"Gangrel, Gangrel I'm getting close!" she managed to pant out before pulling his lips to hers and kissing him urgently as her free hand gripped the sheets, the moment ended prematurely as Weiss's scroll rang, Gangrel burying his face in the pillow with a groan of something akin to despair
"This cannot be happening" Weiss hissed, her tone both mortified and furious as she searched for the offending device in the pocket of her discarded jacket frowning in confusion as she saw the caller
"It's Artemis"
"What the fuck?" Gangrel mouthed as she answered, trying to make sense from the heiress's side of the conversation
"Hey….Yeah I'm with Gangrel now….No it's okay what's wrong….She's what?….Oh for the love of, I'll be up there in a minute" collapsing the scroll she turned to Gangrel
"I swear I am going to murder Ruby"

Ruby stood on the roof of Beacon Crescent Rose in hand staring up at the Atlesian flagship that from it's current position above the academy blocked out the midday sun her expression resolute as she prepared herself for what she knew she needed to do, exhaling slowly as she dropped to one knee and steadied her weapon against the surface of the roof and checked yet again that the magazine she had loaded was indeed Gravity Dust, finding that everything else was in order she focused on her Semblance activating it slowly the contours of her body blurring and her signature Rose Petals hovering in the air around her, finger tightening around the trigger of her weapon as she prepared to fire, as she pulled the trigger a golden blur collided with her kicking the shaft of the weapon to the side sending the shot into the horizon and a pair of hands roughly grabbed her shoulders, Ruby grinned and attempted to use her new found ability to phase through solid matter to escape before being stunned when she found herself unable, releasing her Semblance Ruby brought her self to a standstill and turned to face the person who had interrupted
"What the hell are you doing?" Rover demanded as he released his own Semblance his face stern
"I was just trying to..." she trailed off looking at her boots
"You were about to try and jump onto an Atlesian warship!" the canine raged
"I'd have been fine, the gravity round would have got me up their my Semblance would have got me through the shields and the hull"
"And then Ironwood himself would have shot you himself for potentially starting a war, have you lost your mind?"
"I was just trying to um…. Well I-"
"Trying to what? And make it good because Artemis saw you powering up from the main gates she's already calling Weiss"
"You can't!" Ruby cried "You can't tell Weiss, her and Yang already tried to talk me out of-" the resounding crack of Gangrels' teleportation sounded as the Bear-Faunus appeared on the roof, depositing Weiss before steadying himself as shook off the effects of carrying a passenger with him, Ruby may have been innocent in some respects but she knew enough to understand that both of them looked a little dishevelled and Weiss wasn't wearing her jacket, that coupled with the heiress's current expression told her that they had been interrupted at a bad time and that she was in a lot of trouble
"Ruby Rose you boneheaded, ignorant, stubborn, reckless, insubordinate-"
"Technically it's not insubordination if I'm the leader" Ruby countered with a bright smile
"SILENCE YOU CRETIN!" Weiss shrieked "Your sister and I expressly forbid you from trying to get onto that ship"
"But Weiss" Ruby started
"What's this about?" Gangrel snarled "Just so I know how to explain throwing you off the roof to your sister"
"Ironwood has kept Penny on the ship the whole time lessons have been cancelled, even after everything she did in the breach. It's not fair and it's not right!" Gangrel gave her a blank stare while he processed what the diminutive girl had just told him
"So you're going to try and jump onto the Friedenswatcher, the personal command ship of General Ironwood and flagship of the Atlesian fleet to 'rescue' your girlfriend who's not a captive but a student of the Atlas Academy and directly under Ironwoods' command?"
"Well when you say it like that" Ruby mumbled
"Fuck it, go for it" Gangrel laughed
"What?" Weiss demanded the Bear-Faunus shrugged
"Either it'll work or it won't and this is one of those fuck ups you can only make once, besides I'd love to see just how well this thing holds up to an attack like that"
"It would hold up remarkably well" a new voice answered "The Friedenswatcher actually has several force-fields layered over each other oscillating at different frequencies, being able to penetrate one wouldn't ensure you made it to the hull, the weapons systems are designed to destroy the largest known Grimm from long range and it has one of the most advanced sensory arrays ever designed, which is how I found you" everyone turned to see the speaker and no sooner had they realised that it was Penny Polendina than Ruby shot at her, arms wrapping around her shoulders and legs around her waist it was a testament to the mechanical girls strength and balance that she stayed on here feet only staggering back a single step
"I missed you! I missed you! I missed you! I missed you!" Ruby punctuated her words with a series of kisses, colour rising in Pennys' face as she kissed Ruby back
"I missed you too"
"Okay you're blushing" Gangrel interrupted raising an eyebrow "Not that it isn't cute but how are you doing that?" Penny gave a nervous shrug
"It's a holdover from part of an adaptive camouflage system I was originally intended to have"
"You have a stealth mode?" Ruby asked wide eyed
"Not currently, I've been looking into what I'd need to do to reinstall it" Ruby gave a wordless squeal before kissing the ginger again
"Oh for the love of Oum" Weiss whispered rolling her eyes
"It's cute and you know it" Rover smirked as Penny finally set the scythe wielder down
"Gangrel" Penny turned to him "I was told to accompany you to Professor Ozpins' office where General Ironwood is waiting for you; when he was alerted to an energy build up on the roof he told me to investigate as he had a suspicion you'd be involved somehow" Gangrel growled in irritation
"Right I'll go see what he wants, you wait here"
"But I was instructed to-"
"I'll Ironwood where you are" Gangrel cut her off "Spend some time with Ruby, she'll only try this dumb shit again if you don't"
"Thank you Gangrel" Penny beamed "That would be sensational"

Authors Notes:

So, not a great deal to cover here. Just some fluff and smut before the Volume four premier.
A little almost sibling like banter between Gangrel and Blake and some more Gangrel and Bjorn, also there's only so many people that could have been watching him.
More Bumblebee, they go from smut to fluff and vice-versa in seconds, it's why I love them also I can totally see Yang buying a copy of Ninjas of Love just to see why Blake likes it so much.
That Weiss and Gangrel scene (Still calling it Polar Bear) ultimate cock-block from Ruby.
Yes Ruby was going to storm the Flagship just to get to spend some time with Penny, because she's Ruby Rose; that is the only reason needed.

Thank you to Drake187 for their review of the last chapter, I must endeavour to pack more feels in then, but I commend your bravery marathoning all three volumes, that's how I originally watched RWBY meeting Pyrrha and Penny and then seeing what happened all in the same day….those wounds are still fresh. Yeah Ironwood is racist, he's not blatant with it like the thugs in the first chapter, he's more of that 'upper class' racism, you know the kind of people I'm talking about. Watching Adams' network collapse around him is gratifying to watch but just remember the more people abandon him the crazier he gets, the crazier he gets the more dangerous he is. I have plans for how Adam meets his end but I'll never tell you them

As always thank you to everyone that reads this, with a special thanks to those of you that follow, favourite and review.
