Qrow:-

Qrow was already troubled by being a informant for Ozpin, not only he had to go for trouble to get information but also that his semblance made it even more difficult to do it. But getting a text message about an emergency in Beacon was unexpected. While on his way back he thought whether the enemy made its move or not.

Few days later, Qrow arrived at Ozpin's office. Qrow was pretty pissed at Ozpin about what was going to happen.

"You better call me for something important Oz." Qrow started, as he took out a flask from his coat and started drinking. He was wearing a white coat a grey shirt, a white cross necklace with the cross tilted a little, wearing two rings on each hand, his weapon Harbinger on his back waist, and a black pant and matching pair of shoes, completely mismatched with his red torn cape.

"Its regarding your niece, both of them and some other matter" Ozpin said

"I heard what you did, so, I'm sorry that I didn't mentioned about my silver eyed niece... and thanks for letting her here early. She needs it, before they come after her.", Qrow said placing the flask back into his coat

"Welcome, but the other matter is way big. You see, we found this young man named Garou who is no where in CCT database, no semblance, extremely secretive and too powerful"

"You are kidding right"

Ozpin without a word produced a tablet and hands it over to Qrow. It showed all the feats Garou did. He arrived from a white portal smacked Grimm like nothing. Dodged projectiles in mid-air, shattered aura and knocked an underground fighter in a single hit, and last video showed him talking to her. He later smacked her communicator and destroyed it.

After all this Qrow was just making sure that he wasn't drunk. Ozpin waited for Qrow to process it.

Minutes passed and still Qrow was silent about it. The silence filled the room and then finally Ozpin broke the ice "So, what do you think?"

"I think we should get this guy here and interrogate.", Qrow suggested

"We tried Qrow, but he vanished." a familiar voice filled the room.

It was Glynda, with her usual attire she entered the room from a door. She went sideways of Qrow and stopped in front of Oz's desk and turned to face Qrow.

"His speed is also on a completely different level. When we interrogated him he ran away. So fast that we couldn't even see what happened." Glynda continued.

"I can believe that for now Ozpin only told me about this guy. But have you told anyone about this yet?"

"Only James"

This caused shock to Qrow, and why it wouldn't. Qrow knew what James would do now. He will consider Garou to be a threat, and in the end Ironwood will only give Garou two options: Easy way Hard way. And Judging this, he knew Garou will take a hard way.

"Are you insane? That man will bring a whole fleet. Just for him only." Qrow snapped as he slams his hands on Ozpin's table.

"It was necessary to tell James about the situation at hand." Glynda replied

" To a man that don't trust us at all in the first place?" Qrow shouted

This didn't surprise the other two, even they didn't trusted James more than the time they told him about the real enemy, and since then only they have been open in the information and not Atlas.

"... soon James is going to arrive too." Ozpin said.

Qrow's eyes widened at the news. His teeth gritted with anger.

"If that man comes I already told you what will happen." with this Qrow walked towards a window and jumped out of it. He turned into a crow and left the scene.

Later the same night*

Since Ozpin gave him some news Qrow went to see Garou himself before Atlas arrives. He went straight for Junior's Night Club, and it was his unusual luck that he found Garou just at the front door of the club. Qrow went straight towards Garou, in a manner, making sure he would not look suspicious. Garou was wearing the typical bouncer uniform(minus sunglasses), white shirt, red tie, black hat, and a black pant.

As soon as he was near Garou, the bouncer(Garou) asked for his ID, without hesitation he showed his ID and started to think how to start a conversation. But...

"Aren't huntsmen supposed to be always on duty. " Garou started, surprising Qrow.

"Yeah, but what do you know about me. People like me drink not to party but to subdue our past. " he replied as he remembered about his semblance, the bad luck.

"Then aren't you supposed to go to a bar rather than a club"

"I'm here to meet someone. My friend told me he is a serious guy. "

"Better luck finding him here."

"Yeah, I know that, because the man is right in front of me"

"..." Garou eyes widened, Qrow he didn't planned to go in disguise, he simply winged it, he quickly raised his hands as a symbol of peace to prevent any problem.

"Then I assume that your friend is that Professor Ozpin." Garou replied

"Listen, he has told me about you. What you can do, but I'm not here to interrogate like them. I'm here to just talk as... friends. "

"I don't talk to anybody especially not at work."

Qrow was about to argue more but, was he seeing things or Garou had his eyes concentrated at someone else. He quickly twisted and looked to see what Garou was seeing, but apparently that someone was gone.

"I think I will make an exception, only for today... 'Pal' ", as Garou used to quote the word 'pal' with his hands. He quickly went inside and after 15 minutes came out. He now was wearing the same clothes Qrow saw him wearing when he came here.

Garou led Qrow to a bar, since club wasn't a good place to talk. The bar where they went was lonely, the only one beside bartender were the two of them. The bar was well established, the jukebox was playing songs, otherwise the bar was no different from any other bar. The two took places on a table. Qrow asked for a whisky, while Garou asked for Cola. The two got there drinks along side snacks and sat for a while.

"What changed your mind?" Qrow asked

"Due to something that is about to come." Garou replied.

"You mean she sent another one of her communicator."

"So you know who she is. She looked pathetic"

"Let me tell you something kid, don't go over her look. She is not someone you wish to meet in an alley. Let's change the topic for now, so, where did you dropped from?"

"Far away from here"

"How do you fight that good without semblance or aura?"

"Let's just say where I come from we have alternates of that."

"Why are you here?"

"I am trying to answer that myself."

Qrow was impressed, Garou didn't talked much to Oz but he talked to him why?, but he didn't quite get the last two answers he got.

Before he could ask more the lights flickered, he also noticed that the bartender was long gone, both of them stood up. Qrow without hesitation took out Harbinger ready to spring in action while Garou just stood there, alarmed but full of openings.

Soon a group of White Fang members showed up. Leading them was a guy in a hat and a white coat, orange hair, one eye revealing, black trouser, black shoes and a cane. It was Roman Torchwick

"Well, well, if this isn't my luck. Who do we have here?" Roman asked

"What do you want?" Qrow asked

"Nothing more than what you want, and it should be who do I want" Roman replied

Qrow glanced at Garou, he wasn't with her, but that wouldn't mean he should trust him, but in that fraction of second the White Fang members fired shots at Qrow. To everyone's surprise Garou caught all the bullets and dropped them on the ground. Both the sides were silent. No one moved an inch. In the end Roman's mind blew, "What the hell happened?"

In a second Qrow only saw a blue blur and then all the people were lying on the ground blood oozing out of them, except Roman. Qrow was tensed up and Roman was shocked, Qrow only saw the skills from footage but after seeing it in real he placed his weapon back to its place. Qrow stared at Garou and then they stared into each other.

"You should leave too." Garou said

Without arguing Roman left the scene instantly, and Qrow was ready to leave, shocked, but before leaving through the door, he stopped and turned to ask Garou

"Tell me whatever you told me, even it was brief why did you shared it with me?" Qrow asked

"You are not the only one who is getting troubled from ones own past." Garou replied

"How-"

"You show it." Garou cut him before Qrow could complete.

With this Qrow went back to his home as his scroll rang. Qrow took out his scroll, it was Ozpin.
