Accidental Villain 11
No1 Ozpin, No2 Glynda, No3 Maria, No4 Amber, No5 Qrow, No6 Robyn, No7 Ghira, No8 Clover, No9 Winter and No 10 Ironwood
The 4 all took a few steps back as the lion approached them, Nora was still unconscious in Ren's arms and Jaune was no up straight fighter, which meant that Pyrrha was the best and only chance that they had right now, even with her ankle aching like it usually did and the strain from earlier on her muscles returning.
Jaune's power had done well to block the pain and provide her with an amazing energy boost but now that she had slipped away and out of contact with him she could feel the effects slowly coming undone. Which was understandable since he had only just discovered it apparently, and not to mention that Nora was in much worse shape than she was.
"Arslan do you remember me? It's Pyrrha, I don't want to fight you, and you're my friend." Pyrrha began as she slowly moved towards the only person at school that never used her for anything.
"I'm afraid that Miss Atlan can't hear you right now Miss Nikos, all she knows right now… is the fight." Just to prove Merlots point her fist lit up in a bright golden flame and strands of flame started bursting out of her bare feet, smoke also began to rise out of her mouth, the flame that surrounded her fist now turning a bright blue in colour signifying how hot it had gotten. "And before you think of removing that crown, just know it would be an… explosive mistake, hehehe."
"I see you have a lot more control over your power now." Pyrrha gulped, truth be told fire was always the thing that frightened her the most as a child and that fear had lessened as an adult, becoming a hero meant that fear had to the last thing on her mind. The moment she was afraid of something she had to try double hard to get the job done.
Arslan chose not to answer her with words and instead flames burst from her feet and she blasted forwards almost skating across the ground and into a large sweep with a burst of fire following her trail, so that even when Pyrrha jumped and used a sheet of metal to block the flames she still felt the heat. Using the metal sheet as a shield she tried blocking the punch only to see Arslan's arm melt through it and strike her in the stomach, she was lucky her amour protected her from the fire, but not the force as she had not taken a punch with that level of strength since Yang hit her in a school sparing session.
Stepping back Pyrrha barely had time to block the next punch as Arslan was instantly on her again and striking at her face and she knocked the blow aside only to get a foot to the thigh and then she screamed out in shock as the metal heated up and dripped onto her skin. The next kick that came was a powerful roundhouse that Pyrrha took to the stomach, the moment the blow landed she felt the power and the pain, but she wrapped her arms around the outstretched leg and twisted her whole body to throw Arslan away just for a moment so she could take off her amour.
Her leg greaves and armbraces fell to the ground, as did the circlet she had in her hair, leaving her in just her corset and her skirt; she even removed the sash from around her waist and wrapped it around her left arm. This might have left her defenceless in the other's eyes but if Arslan's flames were strong enough to melt metal with a touch then having the melted metal touch her skin was going to cause her more pain than it was worth.
A fireball quickly came flying at her and Pyrrha leaned into a back handspring to avoid the projectile, once she was on her feet she saw Arslan rocket towards her in a flying kick propelled by flames and she quickly moved to the side as she passed, it gave her and opening to then strike at her back and hopefully subdue her quickly.
However Arslan blasted again with her flames and she had spun around in a circle swinging around for a second kick that Pyrrha was not prepared for, she had such agility with these flames and the kick struck the side of Pyrrha's face. Arslan then made to follow through with an axe kick to the top of her head but Pyrrha was in the fight now and raised her arms in a high X block to catch the kick and pulled down, upsetting her balance and giving her a chance to strike Arslan with a strong elbow to the face, she then wrapped her arms around her waist and lifted her over her into a back suplex.
Arslans face smacked into the ground and Pyrrha ended on top of her holding her down, hoping that in a battle of strength Pyrrha had the advantage, and while she might of they wouldn't find out any time soon as an explosion of scorching heat flung Pyrrha away into a lab table.
Jaune watched as the 2 punched and kicked each other around and he had just watched Pyrrha get flung into a table and then the other girl had followed her and now they were locked in a boxing match with punches smashing across both of their faces. Jaune was wincing on each blow and really hoping that Pyrrha came out the winner since he didn't think that any of them would be able to match this newcomer in battle.
He thought to what Merlot said about the head piece being not only a mind control device and also an explosive and as much as he didn't know this new fighter right now he didn't want anyone to die and he certainly didn't want Pyrrha to get hurt any more. "Ren I'm going to have to build the EMP, if I can shut off the device then they stop fighting… but I'm going to have to stop healing Nora."
"Do it, Nora would want the problem sorted before she got tended to; she is stubborn like that."
Jaune then races over to where he originally dropped all of the equipment and then began to string it all together, he quickly flipped over a table and moved to one of its upstanding legs and then wrapped the wire around it and attached the battery, quickly adjusting the output of energy.
"Pyrrha lead her over here!" Jaune yelled as he watched her take a heavy punch causing her to fall to a knee as the other girl did a really cool martial arts pose, like really cool, her arms moved in perfect circles and her fingers shifted so that her index finger was raised on both hands with one palm facing out towards Pyrrha.
Pyrrha heard Jaune and looked passed Arslan to where he was waving at her, he had a metal table leg up turned and a wire wrapped around it, she had no idea what he had planned but knew from the position that Arslan was in that she was looking to finish her, she recognised the hand position as Dan Zhi or Mao De Um Dedo, used as a sign to ward off evil and to deal with the neuropsychological demons that the fighter had, Pyrrha had seen Ren using this position several times, he said it stimulated his chakra and chi; and if Arslan was using it… then it meant she was resisting the mind control!
Pyrrha quickly ran towards her friend as she dive rolled over a fireball and then slide under a wild roundhouse kick, they might have been trading heavy blows and hurting each other, but Pyrrha knew her attacks were never that wild so she was resisting. Which was great because Pyrrha was in a lot of pain right now, without her amour she was not as tough as she believed she was, but then she would like to see anybody else take a strike from Arslan and remain standing.
She quickly reached Jaune and watched as Arslan blasted toward the 2, her flames spilling out from her feet like devil wings and then Jaune flipped a switch and an electronic pulse went out, completely passing through the both of them and Pyrrha felt a little tingle. Probably because of all the time she has spent around metal and her strong connection to it, Arslan however shut down completely as the fire died out and she smacked face first into the ground and then rolled a few times before stopping right at Jaune's feet, Jaune who then quickly grabbed the crown around her head and ripped it off and handed it to Pyrrha who launched it as hard as she could with all the force of her polarity behind it, sending it at 200 mph at the nearest wall and shattering it to dust.
"AHHHH, DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG THAT TOOK ME TO MAKE? THE MATERIALS I REQUIRED? YOU HAVE JUST DESTROYED MONTHS OF RESEARCH!"
"Oh Merlot, always so touchy about the wrong things in life aren't you?" Came Ozpin's voice, echoing around the large laboratory without the aid of speakers.
"O-Ozpin? But how – Where are yo-" And then the Professor landed at the bottom of the long elevator, slightly cracking the floor upon his landing.
"I am here." He announced calmly, just as Oscar then landed right next to him with little green sparks coming off of his body, Penny then just flying down gracefully as her rocket boosters turned off and Jaune stared in jealousy. Ozpin took a moment to walk over to Ren and Nora still in his arms and place a hand on her forehead, Penny then stepped up and looked over her once.
"She just needs a good few days of bed rest, her body expelled the same amount of power as you do sir, and she wasn't ready this time." Ren breathed a sigh of relief and moved to stand behind the number 1 hero in what he knew would be a safe place for the both of them.
"You being here changes nothing, I have enough tricks to keep you occupied for my escape and then there is Tyrian, would you let your friend Qrow die alone out there?"
Merlot then felt a string wrap around him as he turned and saw with wide eyes; Qrow and Clover stood at his doorway, Qrow with a few scratches and Clover in his clean pressed nice white combat suit. "You hear that Qrow, I thought I was your only friend."
"Lucky you." Qrow grunted as Clover smirked out and did a finger gun at his partner, they had been friends since school and he knew that Qrow was secretly very happy with being told he was friends with someone. He might have been a loner who liked cats but he still had friends, Clover saw himself as his best friend.
"It would seem for all of your parading Merlot; you really are not as clever as you think you are."
"Tyrian can stil-"
"I believe Mr Carrows is currently being detained by Miss Goodwitch and Council-woman Hill, 2 heroes I would not want any villain to be on the wrong side of and they are being assisted by team RWBY, however to ease your thoughts I am sure you will be happy to know that there is a cell waiting with your name on it right next to his."
Merlot growled out and was turning purple and shaking with anger. "You won't get far with this Ozpin! You have nothing, no evidence and no witness'."
Arslan chose that moment to groan as she raised her head and looked into Pyrrha's eyes, taking a moment to recognise her and then look around her surroundings. "Good to see you properly again Pyrrha." She said, remarkably calmly as Pyrrha smiled softly and helped her friend to her feet. "It took you a while to get through the control."
"I had to punch you a few times, but you punched me a lot more."
"Understandable." Arslan nodded as she shook out her body, leaning slightly on Pyrrha to regain her balance before noticing Jaune. "Who are you?"
"Jaune Arc, and you were held captive by-"
"Dr Merlot, yeah I know, thank you for breaking me out of it. I could see and hear everything he was doing and what he was telling me about his nefarious plans, it was annoying." Pyrrha smiled properly this time.
"Only you would consider mind control to be annoying."
"It was, I don't care about his plans, the only useful idea he had was using me as a thermal power plant, but even then I could overheat that and blow him up. He's just not a smart villain." Jaune nodded in agreement and Ozpin walked over to her.
"Miss Atlan, a pleasure to meet you Scarecrow speaks highly of you and your motivated and progressive attitude towards cleaning up the streets of Vacuo."
"Thank you sir, if you help someone, then eventually you help everyone."
"Wise words… now am I correct in believing you would be able to tell us everything that Merlot had planned."
"Yes, I can even point you to his hard drives and notes on all the evil devices that he had planned to take out the top 10."
"NO!"
"Yes that would be perfect; Penny please follow Miss Atlan here."
"Oh will you be my new friend? Another new friend would be sensational!"
"Sure."
"Then sal-ultations! I am Penny and it is a pleasure to meet you!"
"Likewise, this way."
As the 2 walked off Arslan placed a hand on Pyrrha's shoulder and the 2 exchanged a look to catch up later, Pyrrha watched her old friend walk off and noticed how much she had changed. She had always been pretty but she had grown further into her looks, and her outfit even though she had moved to Vacuo she had kept it very Mistalian which made Pyrrha feel warm inside… it showed her she hadn't forgotten her roots or her, since Pyrrha had helped her pick out the outfit on the rare time that she went to Arslan's home.
"And as for you Dr Arc, you are good to go."
"What?" Jaune asked, completely stunned. He almost certainly believed that there was going to be a catch and that Jaune would be drafted in to some support gear agency and stuck in a basement to make gadgets and equipment for heroes.
"Yes, you did me a favour with helping here so I did one for you, I spoke to the chief of police and they have dropped all of your crimes. I said that you have been my associate since the beginning and that I asked you to investigate Merlot right from the start. With his capture and the evidence that Penny will almost certainly find, you are a free man once again, although I would quit from Merlot's company, it will be drafted into government holdings and they will almost certainly use you for their needs and not anyone else's."
"S-sir I don't know what to say."
"Then don't; come on Oscar we should go and find Penny." And then the number 1 hero walked off with his protégé who gave Jaune a small wave. Leaving Jaune and Pyrrha stood together as Ren walked over with Nora who was now just conscious enough to spot Oscar.
"Hehehe, cute boy Ozpin." She said as she pointed at the little farm boy. The 4 of them then walked over to the elevator, Jaune with his glowing healing hands on Nora and Pyrrha, all of them slowly feeling the adrenaline leave their bodies and make them a little bit tired.
"So what will you do now Jaune?" Pyrrha asked the scientist curiously, the intrigue clear in her eyes.
"Um, probably look for a job at a restaurant near where I live, that is if my apartment hasn't already been sold."
"It hasn't." Pyrrha said quickly, very quickly actually and she flushed a little as she averted her eyes. "It was made into a crime scene and I visited it several times to make sure that you didn't come back to it and so that I can learn everything I could about you."
"Didn't you sleep there one night?" Nora asked with a cheeky grin as Pyrrha stiffened in panic and looked at Jaune to assure him that she didn't, it was simply a late night and his bed was warm.
"Sorry I didn't leave any hot chocolate around for you." Of course that would be what he was the most concerned about, how could someone wake up and have no hot chocolate waiting for them? It was an essential of life. "But if it's still there… actually I think I will sell it, move out and buy the place that I have been staying; it's an old industrial place, but it should have more than enough space for me to create some stuff that I want. Plus less people, I don't think I'm ready to be around people right now not with what they might think I've done."
"I mean it did all escalate to a disproportionate level, personally I believe it was the news station taking all of your actions and completely over doing them." Ren said reasonably, and now that Pyrrha had a chance to think about it the whole situation did seem to be blown way out of the usual levels of crazy; had Ozpin known all along that this was going to be the end result.
"So you will just be at an industrial place making gadgets and machines then." Pyrrha asks sadly.
"Yeah I think so; sounds like it could be fun… and of course looking for people to hang out with and who want to complete the friendship list with me." Pyrrha's head shot up at that but it was Ren who asked the question.
"Friendship list?"
"Yeah you know; go out to a pub, go bowling, go shopping, quiz night, game night all those things. I imagine you guys have already done it, was it as good as it is made out to be, I can't wait for it. Oscar said that he would like to play video games with me at some point when he freed me from your cell."
"Nora and I have done several of those things." Ren said slowly as he realised just how lonely Jaune actually was, this whole time he had thought him to be this wannabe mad scientist but now he was realising that he was just a lonely guy that wanted to make some friends, much like someone else he knew that hadn't been able to make a very close connection to anyone on the team. "Pyrrha you haven't done a few of those things on the list have you?"
Pyrrha latched onto the lifeline with everything she had. "No I haven't, I don't think I have played a game since my mother taught me how to play some cards, I would very much like to help you tick off the things on your list Jaune."
"Oh that would be great; and once the friendship list is done then all I have left is the girlfriend list… although the first step already looks pretty difficult, never mind getting them to meet my parents." He mumbled the last bit as he held his chin in thought.
Pyrrha meanwhile had a bit of an epiphany; she now knew what Jaune's semblance was, which meant all of the times she felt her heart beating like a Vacuo drum or her skin heat up like she had been burned it was just because of him; not because of some power he had over her but from how he was just being with her. There was no love or attraction semblance at play, she just realised she happened to have a tiny little crush on the blonde scientist, and maybe if they spent some time trying to complete the things on his list then that could grow into something more, time would tell.
The elevator reached the top and as they left the large building they were greeted by team RWBY all who looked ready to grab Jaune but Miss Goodwitch waved them down. "Ozpin explained the entire situation to us Dr Arc and on behalf of my sidekicks I would like to apologise for the way they have been treating you, especially the way that Pyrrha has pursued you these past few weeks."
"Oh, um that's nice of you but it's all right, she had a job to do, plus we are gonna hang out now and try and do some stuff from my friendship list together; I'm very excited, no hard feelings – hey you can come as well, the more the merrier and the bonds will make us friends I am sure of it, well better friends since we already are right Weiss?"
Weiss was about to open her mouth to disagree as she didn't like him from the moment she met him, but the pointed glares coming from Pyrrha and Miss Goodwitch made her recoil and so she grit her teeth and bared it. "Y-yes… I guess we are already… friends." She needed a shower.
"Cool, 9 friends in one day, that's got to be a record somewhere right?" He asked rhetorically as he then pulled out a notebook and a pen from his vast pockets, scribbling down the names of team RWBY on to the list, asking to get the spelling of Yang's last name several times until Pyrrha just wrote it for him.
The sidekicks all boarded a bullhead that took them back into the city and the chief of police was there to try to talk to Jaune to update him on the situation, however he couldn't really say much as he was currently throwing up all over the place and Pyrrha was rubbing his back in careful circles. Once they had landed Jaune went off with the chief and that was the last that they saw of him that day, needless to say Pyrrha was a little upset that he hadn't thought to say goodbye or swapped contact details to try and stay in touch to arrange a meet up.
Several days went by and still none of them had heard anything from Jaune, but Nora was now doing a lot better and was able to run around the place and cause havoc once more, so they had their hands full with that until one afternoon when Pyrrha had gotten in from patrol she spotted a mess of blond hair at the reception desk.
"Um she is about 6 foot, although I think that's in heels I'm not sure how she is always wearing them honestly, I wore them for a day once and they just hur-"
"Jaune?"
"Pyrrha!"
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to show you my new place; tick off one of the boxes you know." And then he pulled out an old crinkled piece of paper and read from it. "'Step one: invite friends over for a 'hang', I have no idea what more there is to a hang but the step remains and it is what every website has told me to do. Also I was hoping you would have Oscar or Penny's contact info so I could call them over as well."
"You are here to hang out with me?"
"Yes, or um, we could go and see a movie, you know? Or I'm sure there is some shopping you might need, there are other things we can cross off."
"No! No, a hang sounds like a grand idea."
"Awesome." Jaune then began moving to the door as he took down Pyrrha's number in his scroll. "Well step one is to meet up with Oscar and Penny then, where ever they might be."
"It would seem that my calculations were all accurate; hello again friend Jaune, friend Pyrrha." And there in all of their colourful green glory was Penny and Oscar and there was also Arslan wearing her more traditional yellow and red colours, less of a stand out than what Jaune now realised was a shocking amount of green the other 2 were wearing.
"Oh, well that was easy… uh I expected more searching and was hoping to tick off getting a coffee with a friend, I uh, don't like coffee but it's what the list says… I guess we could skip that and just too game night straight away." Jaune mumbled to himself while Pyrrha was equal parts glad to see her old friend and at the same time disappointed she didn't get the alone time with Jaune.
"Yeah I bought 'Immortal KFighting', I'm finally old enough to play it. I always like the look of Plus-Freeze." Oscar mused as he pulled the game out of his bag to show an excited Jaune. The 2 of them then explained the game to Penny who was curious about why they would be fighting each other and what the different characters abilities were all about, meanwhile Arslan had moved closer to Pyrrha.
"I want to say thank you properly; that mind control was not fun, and I could have hurt someone, I could of hurt my friend, so thank you." Pyrrha was touched by the sentiment as Arslan then brought her into a hug that Pyrrha returned whole heartedly.
"The next time we fight, I want you in your right mind… there is a score to settle." Pyrrha said to her as they held arms, to which Arslan smirked.
"Heh, if you think you can handle the heat, otherwise you need to get out the kitchen; gonna need to bring your boyfriend to cheer you on?" She taunted as she watched Pyrrha's cheeks redden, a more teasing smile coming across her face. "Ohhh, we have a lot to catch up on then it would seem, and I have to see if he is good for my friend."
After a very quick taxi ride with the driver asking for Pyrrha and Oscar's autographs and even a quick photo, they had turned up at Jaune's new place. The building had a large green metal shutter door with a small open window office at the front, once he had unlocked the door Jaune pulled the door to the side to open it up and they saw a few wooden benches, and numerous wooden material littered around the place as well as a couple of saws and an old industrial wood-chipper, heavily rusted and missing more than a few parts.
"This place used to be a timber company, means I got the tools to build it back up so all positives. I sleep in the back office." Arslan tensed up a little bit as she could feel the dust in the air and she knew that one spark from her could probably light this place up quicker than a firework, and they were going to be playing a competitive fighting game…
This could only end one way.
3 hours later.
"YES!"
"NO! YOU CHEAT! I HATE YOU SO MUCH! YOU CANT KEEP SPAMING THAT STUPID TELEPORTING THING ALL THE TIME!"
"SAYS THE GIRL THAT SPEND HALF THE GAME TRYING TO SWEEP THE LEG!"
"Tha – I would nev - it is a tactic!" Pyrrha stuttered in reply to Arslan calling her out, while the Invincible Girl might have been an expert in the arena, she certainly lacked the ability to pull of combos at the level of Penny or Jaune, as such she was the worst player of the group much to their amusement.
They all played well into the night, nothing but laughter and shouts of 'CHEATER' from Pyrrha filled the air.

Remnant 52(B variant, Subject Tyrian murdered by Subject Yang)
The Cave was exactly how Blake imagined it would be after Yang and the others had started tearing it apart. It still hurt after all these years, but she had to move past it, she had to keep going for all of the friends she had lost along the way.
"Wow, you know I've never been in the Cave, not even in our Dimension." Jaune said as he stroked his goatee. Blake resisted the urge to slap his hand away from him doing the ridiculous action like she had so many times before… many, many years ago.
"I've been once." Weiss said as she rubbed her ring, the nervous habit that Blake had not been able to observe in person for just as long, it was comforting to know that even in a person with such an ability to overcome fear like Weiss, she still had little ticks like that, kept her human.
"You guys treat it as though it would be a better destination than Atlantis." Neptune said as he leaned on his trident, his hair was slicked back and he looked so calm, unlike how she knew HER Neptune… he was always so angry.
"Don't get your hopes up." Was all that Blake could say in response as she made her way to the central computer, as expected of Yang, she had Penny download and remove any and all information, leaving her with nothing. Well nothing on the computer anyway, Blake still had her mind and all the knowledge of where everything else was.
"That wall." Weiss then formed a jack hammer and removed a large chunk of rocks.
"A hidden compartment. How very you Blakey." Jaune grinned as he twirled an arrow around idly, not noticing how subtlety Blake flinched at the old nickname.
"It's a weapon that can take down Yang, I only need you 3 to help open it and then I can send you all back."
"Not until we find our own Blake, she got brought here as well by accident and we are not leaving our friend behind." Weiss said stubbornly.
"Can we get that in writing? Ice Queen has a friend." Jaune said dramatically as she rolled her eyes.
"It won't be eas-" the Cave then rumbled as they all froze and looked around. "They found us." Blake then grabbed the rock and shoved it behind a pillar and then ran back to join the group, and that was when Watts and Pyrrha then flew around the corner.
Watts was completely bald, not even a moustache and instead of his cape he had decided to wear a gold robe in this universe, there was even a small gold crown on top of his bald head that Jaune noted had a lightning bolt as the centre piece.
Pyrrha… she looked different… bloodthirsty, angry and she glared hard at Jaune. Her hair was short, only going to her neck, her amour was now completely covering her arms, and she had traded her shield for another sword.
"Watts?" Weiss questioned out loud, she was thinking that surely he would have been one of the first criminals that this evil Yang had decided to kill.
"Lay down and die heiress." And then he flew forward and tackled her into a wall, with Blake and Neptune racing after the 2, hoping to assist.
Jaune the shot an explosive arrow above Pyrrha knocking her to the ground, just dazing her, but Jaune still chuckled slightly at the awkward way she landed.
"Your stance was all wrong there Pyr, you need to be wider and lower to the ground."
"Our Jaune Arc was just as arrogant."
"And probably just as handsome, well before Yang murdered him I guess."
"A justified killing, he tried to assassinate her mother and father."
"Not the story I heard, and you were okay with your friend being murdered?"
Pyrrha was shaking with rage right now. "He was weak, he couldn't do a damn thing without someone having to save him, and he constantly talked about the little guy. Who cares?!"
"Humans Pyr, humans care. It's a shame you couldn't see the lessons that he tried to teach you."
"What do you know of them?"
"I've taught my Pyr much the same lessons, she learned how to play the harmonica last week, and next week is juggling." Pyrrha growled and then lunged forward with her twin blades slashing at the ducking and diving blond, who was letting out random noises of excitement, purely just to mock her.
He then flipped over her and dropped and arrow head down the back of her armoured top, he knew from her telling him extensively how to remove each piece of her amour where all the spaces were and where he could put his traps, and he was happy to say that even with the inclusion of her armoured arms, it was almost identical to his Pyrrha's amour. The little shock then held her in place for a moment while Jaune swung his bow like a baseball bat and knocked her over.
"The super-pill does wonders doesn't it?"
"Who are you to lecture me! Queen of the Amazons, daughter of Zeus, the Goddess of Victory!"
"You are always so cute when you started bragging."
"And you were so obnoxiously irritating; with your jokes and your stupid tights."
"My Pyr loves the tights, says she likes the way my butt looks in them. Although I have the 5th best in the League though which is still flattering."
"Well I don't, I never loved you! I never gave you a second thought! I hated you!" She charged and Jaune rolled out to the side and a flash arrow went off blinding the Goddess, when she regained her vision she immediately went to her lasso –
"Always wanted to use this thing." And then she felt it, the magic bind her and surround her. "I compel you to surrender."
Pyrrha grit her teeth and fell to her knees. "I surrender." She managed to growl out.
Jaune was about to tie her up but he still had some questions. "Did you love your Jaune Arc?" He watched her twist and turns, clench up and try to fight the answer. "The lasso requires the truth Pyrrha."
"Y-yes." She spat out. "I… I loved him with all my heart." Tears were now falling from her eyes, streaming down her cheeks.
"Why do you follow Yang?" Again he watched as Pyrrha tensed up, before she relented.
"Because I'm scared… scared of what she will do – to our daughter!" Jaune looked down at her sadly and then with a deep care in his eyes.
"Pyrrha, it's okay. I'm here to help; we are all here to help. I won't let anything happen to your daughter, and as you know; an Arc never goes back on his word." The moment of silence that followed was enough for Jaune to see the cracks completely break.
"Jaune." Pyrrha wailed as the tears fell a lot stronger now and he embraced her. "Ssssh, it's okay pretty bird." He held her silently for a moment, just listening to her sobs.
"Mia."
"Sorry Pyr?"
"Mia, is her name. Mia Arc, she has your hair… and your eyes."
"I love her already, can't wait to meet her."
"I-I.. I shouldn't be near her… I've been a terrible mother, and a worse hero."
"Well the thing about heroes is; they always give it another go." Watts then punches Neptune through the Blake-mobile, or what was left of it. "And right now I'm thinking we could try out Arkos again."
Pyrrha sniffed and had a small smile. "Arkos?"
"Hehe, I was going to say the thing with your shield, but I guess we just have to do something different. My Pyr knows this awesome flip kick move that is very acrobatic."
"Now I'm feeling competitive… it's good to have you back Jaune."
"I never left you Pyrrha."
You know what Brian I actually liked that one; but you still need to work on keeping a lid on it, they cannot keep falling through like that.
Might be a bit of an abrupt ending but there is the epilogue to go next, endings are always the hard part because I need to leave it open, but not to open for you to think about what happened next.
Injustice universe AU
Jaune as Green Arrow, Pyrrha as Wonder Woman, Blake as Batman, Neptune as Aquaman, Weiss as Green Lantern, Watts as Black Adam, Yang as Superman.
If I wanted it to be longer then I guess Ruby would be Flash, Oscar would be SHAZAM, Nora is Hawk-Girl, Ren is Martian Manhunter, Ironwood would be Sinestro, Hazel is Doomsday, Cinder is Killer Frost(Ironic but I had to) and Tyrian would be Joker. Probably worth a story in its own right, but I find that with the DC characters I can put Ruby (weapons), Blake and Ren (both brood) all in Batman and I'm not sure who I want as my ultimate one, Pyr would certainly be Wonder Woman, but Superman is hard because Hope fits with Ruby, Oscar and Penny perfectly, but then Penny as Cyborg is too good to pass up.
Also the best butts as confirmed by the League from 1-5: Ren, Ruby, Pyrrha, Blake, Jaune. (Just my opinion, but everyone is Ren-sexual in the teams and Ruby is the fastest woman alive so… she squats…, Pyrrha is the goddess supermodel that Blake had a crush on before Yang, Yang gave a passionate speech and presentation about Blake's butt, and Pyrrha threatened Coco and Neptune after they mocked Jaune's style, she really likes the tights)
