Prologue

"Sometimes something so terrible happens that a spirit can't rest in peace, and sometimes just sometimes that same spirit can return to right the wrongs that happened". (Quote from the Crow.)

Like usual Qrow Branwen was getting plastered at his favorite bar, Mick's.

Tai Yang walked in and joined Qrow at the bar.

"Tai Dye..whats happening" Qrow said

"Raven told me that you have been trying to steal Summer from me, look..you maybe Raven's brother, but stay the fuck away from my wife" Tai said angrily

Qrow took another sip of his beer and cocked his eyebrow in confusion

"Wait what, I would never put the moves on your girl, my sister is a liar you know that, by the way how's what her name..Ruby that's it, how old is she now like five, or whatever" Qrow said

"She's 14, you drunk piece of shit, just leave my family alone" Tai said

Qrow just sat there drinking he was muttering something

"Rumor has it, there's been a lot of bad shit happening around town, fires, looting, rape and murder... this is just like fucking Vacuo, Remnant has gone to shit.." Qrow said between sips of beer

"Yeah that's too bad" Tai said as he cocked his fist back and then he out right slugged Qrow until he fell to the ground

"What was that for" Qrow said whipping some blood from his lip as he stood up

Tai took a sip from a beer and then slammed it down on the counter and walked back out of the bar.

Qrow had to make sense of all this so he ran to Summer's place, he knew that she would there about now, the girls lived with their father because Summer worked late and the commute from Tai's place was super long and Summer couldn't afford to miss work although she missed her daughters terribly, this was the best for now.

A knock on the door

"Knock, knock, house keeping" a voice said

"If that's that you Tai, your joke isn't funny..

Summer opened the door and it wasn't her Husband, it wasn't even his friend Qrow, she was scared because she didn't know this guy, but he wasn't alone there where two girls with him, one was strikingly beautiful she wore a Chinese style dress which was red in color and her black hair covered one eye, her eyes were yellow, and had a strange glow to them, her friend a slightly shorter girl with white hair that contrasted her dark skin tone, she was also beautiful, she wore tight clothing that accented her size B cup breasts, she had green eyes. Then there was the big guy he looked like a wrestler, he didn't seem to talk that much, it was clear that he was the dark haired girl's bodyguard, he had parted hair and a beard, he kinda resembled a bear. Lastly we come to the jackass that forced his way into Summer's apartment, he was a sickly thin looking fellow with long hair and a scorpion tail? Could he be a Faunus, Summer was shocked she hadn't really met to many Faunus they tend to congregate on the island of Menagerie, far far far to the east, supposedly there is an organization called the White Fang, lead by a Ghira Belladonna and his wife.

Not much is known about the Faunus, except that they mostly kept to themselves, perhaps this one was different.

The Faunus kept approaching Summer he produced a knife and kept it trained on her, but what scared her the most was the look of evil in his eye, and lust, oh boy..

"You'll not be able to resist this deary, shh, it's ok, I need to make my mark" He laughed manically.

The girls took a sit on her couch, as they let Tyrian do his thing, Hazel the big guy stood watch.

Tyrian pulled down his pants and forced his manhood into Summer's private region, then he thrust repeatably he was raping her and he was enjoying it, Summer shut her eyes and tears ran down her cheeks, she was thinking about Tai, the goof that she married and then her mind changed into thoughts of the girls, her daughters Yang and Ruby. Ok so technically Yang was really Tai and Raven's daughter but Summer had raised her as her own after Raven had abandoned her, and Summer never had forgiven her for that. Ruby was Summer's pride and joy and no matter what path that Ruby took when she grew up Summer would be proud of her daughter.

"Forgive me Tai, I'm sorry(Sob) and Ruby" She said lightly crying

"Why are you crying, aren't you having fun?" Tyrian said smacking Summer a little

"Hey, you can't fall asleep, I will gut you bitch, I will gut you like a fish" Tyrian said

Summer just took it, she wasn't enjoying it, and then he came inside her

"Yahtzee" He shouted

"Finally... you took your sweet time Tyrian, but did you forget why we came, Summer? Summer are you conscience, listen up my contact wants to know something" The one woman with the hair over her eye said as she walked over to Summer, she grabbed Summer by her hair and pulled her closer to her and whispered

"What's the secret of the silver eyes?"

But Summer had passed out...

Qrow had arrived to late he seethed with anger, he clenched his fist in rage as he saw Summer lying there unconscious beaten and bloody.

"Oh a visitor,Tyrian your up" The leader said

As Qrow walked to get a closer look at the women he secretly was infatuated with, he got a glimpse of the gang that had intruded on Summer's place, two bitches, a wrestler, and this ass clown who had obviously violated her.

He was going to say something then he felt a shape pain in his back, he had been stabbed.

he stumbled and tripped out of the window he crashed through the glass and fell to his death.

Tyrian stood there looking down at Qrow's corpse and said

"See ya asshole"

Then the sounds of sirens could be herd for miles and miles.

The gang left the crime scene as quickly as they could and they left Summer for dead.

The paramedics rushed into the apartment and scooped up Summer to get her to the hospital, they got another grungy and a body bag for the other victim, it was a fucking bloodbath. And Raven had witnessed it all.

Chapter One: The Return

Two years have past since that terrible evening..

Ruby decided to pay her mom a visit.. and sitting on her grave was black bird, a crow or perhaps even a Raven? Wait it seemed familiar like she'd seen it before.

"So are you like the night watchmen or what?"

It squawked at her, and it kind of creep-ed her out a little.

Her mother's grave was the same as Ruby remembered it, a slab of marble with her name printed on it and a nice Rose that was white..Ruby's idea. Her date of birth and her date of death also printed on it with a dash between them. Next to her grave was Ruby's Uncle's grave not as fancy as Summer's was, it was a simple grave of concrete with a crow on it and his name Qrow Branwen, his date of birth and death... pretty standard.

"Mom, Uncle Qrow, I miss you both a lot, Yang says that all things in time heal, I love Yang she's always so protective of me, Dad tries his best but he's completely clueless, he's lost without you Mom, and I am too, I haven't seen much of aunt Raven lately she tends to keep her distance, I think that she is still grieving, you told me that Uncle Qrow...well it's late and Dad is expecting me home, love ya" Ruby said fighting the tears to began to swell in her eyes.

It was late, almost midnight in fact and Ruby would be grounded if she came home late again.

A little while later...

A strike of lighting struck the grave, and it started to glow like something out of a comic book.

It shook fiercely and then, a fist popped out, then a lone figure shot out of the grave, he seemed to be disoriented and he wasn't even drunk. He took in his surroundings noticed Summer's grave and screamed out in agony. He had loved her, but she was in love with his friend Tai Yang. He had missed his chance to confess his feelings because once he had worked up the courage to tell her how he had felt she was raped and beaten by a band of goons. After walking in on the unspeakable act, one of them turned a threw a knife in his back literally, he then fell out the window.

"See ya asshole" the goon said

After a few moments of pondering, it all came back to him and then he realized what he had to do, he was going to make them pay all of them..

Qrow stumbled around like a zombie, ha I guess technically he was a zombie.

"Raven?" he silently thought to himself

His twin sister, she might be able to help, he had to pay her a visit, she'd probably scream, as tough as Raven is she might not understand the reasoning for her long dead brother's return, (man this sounds just like that movie you know about the crow.. haha.)

Raven lived alone in a small one bedroom studio apartment on the west side of town, she preferred to be alone, people didn't understand her, thought that she was weird like a goth chick who was way into death.

Qrow stood outside thinking about how all this must seem, it was weird a sense of deja vu then he worked up the courage, and knocked on Raven's front door.

Knock..Knock

Raven fumbled through the dark, tripping over her coffee table, she really ought to at least leave one light on, as she groggily opened the door her face went pale as soon as she saw who was on the other side, she jumped back in fear, but she didn't scream, she chocked back her emotions and then he spoke.

"Hi sis, sorry for not coming by sooner, on the account that I was dead, ha you look miserable."

"How are you even here Qrow, I saw the news report, that was horrible poor Summer, they rushed her to intensive care but it was too late, I stopped by to tell Tai the news but he already knew, then there's little Ruby"... Raven trailed off slightly

Qrow walked closer to the door as Raven opened it for him, he hugged her and she started to cry again but these weren't tears of sorrow they were tears of happiness.

"I know what has to be done, and you can help me sis, first I need names and then a disguise, I know that they work for some broad named Cinder, Flame, but I can't remember clearly, it's kinda fuzzy." Qrow said

"Alright, I don't really know much but the one who stabbed you goes by the name of Tyrian, find him and he'll tell you what you need to know, Stopping all of them isn't going to be an easy task, but if anyone can make a difference you can." Raven said

A somewhat familiar song was playing in the background faintly then it got louder it was

"Disintegration" by the Cure, perhaps the greatest song by that band, like ever. Raven loved music like that and so did Qrow the cure had been quite influential on the Branwen twins and it showed.

There was a slight pause and then Raven spoke again

"ok, Qrow I think that I have the perfect disguise for you, wait here I will get it" Raven said running off to get a small box

Raven wasn't gone too long before she returned with a small black box, she opened it up and it was a makeup kit.

"Now hold still, applying makeup is an art" Raven said as she produced a small brush and painted the base of white makeup all over her brother's face. Then she draw two black lines down the side of his face over his eyes, and lastly she put black lipstick on his lips.

After Qrow's beauty session with his sister was done, he asked her how he looked

"So how does it look sis?"

"Like their gonna wish that you stayed dead, now I also have some of your old clothes, they are ratty and perfect to complete the disguise, try them on" Raven said handing him some black clothes and black combat boots.

After Qrow had finished dressing he returned and Raven had a big grin on her face.

"Take a look for yourself, you look scary and cool" she said producing a small mirror

"Hey, not bad, not bad at all" Qrow said admiring his new look.

"Qrow, I just want you to know that no matter what happens that you are doing the right thing here, those monsters have to pay, put Summer's soul to peace, and then get your own peace, I will always love you, you know that,I just"..Raven trailed off again avoiding eye contact.

"I understand, and rest assured dear sister, they will pay" Qrow said embracing his sister again

"I'm rooting for you" Raven said as Qrow headed towards the door

He turned around with a wicked smile on his face and said

"I've came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, but I'm all out of bubble gum"

They shared a quick laugh, and then he give here a wink and just like that he was gone again.
