Ozpin shut his Scroll of with disgust and tossed it on the lectern. His withered arm was exposed and limp. It had been a couple days and the council had been quick to jump down his throat. However, they hadn't come up with a better idea, so in the barely dawned light he looked over to his lovers. The quilts gathered around their hips, Ruby facing him sleeping soundly as Qrow was snuggled up behind her with a hand over her big belly.

He'd hate to ask this of Qrow, but they had to think about more than just them. He pressed fingers to the corners of his eyes. Then looked to them again. Maybe he could table this till they were married. Ozpin reached up and grabbed at his arm, he dug his fingers into it but couldn't feel a thing.

Ozpin got up and walked over to a window to look out. Why oh why had he decided to get involved in Mistral? He opened the window the cool glass was pleasant under his fingertips and the breeze equally nice. He heard a creak and smiled as Qrow inserted himself under his arm. "What's eating you?"

Oz took a deep breath. "I need… I need you to be my sword again."

Qrow stiffened and pulled away. "What is going on?"

"Most of Mistral's Dust traded is controlled by bandits. The Mabino take most of the shipments from Argus. The Liyr hold the south and the Penaddun the east. I'm not sure the best way for you to go about it, but I want you to reach out to the Mabino the 'king' of the bandits and ask if he would be interested in crafting treaties or what it would take for him to be interested."

Qrow pulled away from him and crossed his arms. "So what? I head back up north and grovel? He liked Ruby, I'm not sure I'd be welcome without her by my side."

Ozpin pursed his lips and looked over to their pregnant lover. "Would she really be that necessary?"

"She interested him, to come without her could be taken as an insult to his hospitality." Qrow didn't like the idea at all.

Ozpin rubbed his hands over his face. "Even if I got you an airship, I don't want to pull her from classes for that long. I mean, we could just teach her ourselves."

"You said 'we', are you thinking about coming as well?" Qrow asked.

"That would make me much happier, but I don't see how I can do that. Glynda doesn't need more work, we've all got our hands full. Lydia did say she had found a Huntsmen to take your place and another to take over first response and outdoors. That still leaves me stuck doing the law classes."

"Maybe you could push on Twitch a little bit more. He's not the type to leave a case unfinished but with how much of a mess the current one he's on has been. He might be open to change up jobs." Qrow did like the idea of Ozpin not teaching anymore, the workload was getting the better of both of them.

"I'll pay him a visit before classes." Ozpin stepped to Qrow and pulled him to his chest purring softly when Qrow reached up and looped his arms around his neck. "On that topic, you don't have to teach anymore. So you can do whatever you wish today."

"Hmm, probably start cleaning up Mistral. Let those bandits know that I'm not going to ignore them."

A mumble from the bed drew their attention as Ruby woke very groggily. "What are you two doing? It's chilly, get back here."

Ozpin gestured to Ruby. "As our lady commands."

Mistral police department headquarters were a large square building with levels of sloping roofs. Ozpin grimaced and held his bad arm closer to his side for a moment. Ruby had bandaged it and the sleeves Lydia had made compressed the limb just enough for him to feel it. The green side cape went down to the middle of his thigh. His sharp green and black suit was the best armour he had for this.

He pushed open the heavy doors and strode in. The hush was near instant, the receptionists lollipop fell from her lips. Officers stopped in their tracks coffee cups steamed in their hands, a box or two of donuts tipped dangerously. Ozpin glanced around and spotted the list of officers and their offices. Spotting Twitch's listing was easy and unfortunately partnered to Burke. Ozpin restrained his sigh but headed deeper into the building. Up the elevator to the third floor and down the hall.

Oz tried to ignore the stunned police officers, it wasn't that often a Huntsmen sought them out. A headmaster just striding in was practically unheard off. He opened the door with name tag 'Maximilion Steven Percival Williams III' and 'Sam Burke' thankfully beyond the door was just Twitch. Blonde frazzled hair and big round glasses, wiry frame in a brown suit.

Twitch looked up and stood almost tossing his chair back in his haste. "Sir."

"At ease." Ozpin waved slightly with his good hand.

The detective didn't clearly relax but he did breath a little easier. "How can I help you Sir?"

"I would like to formally off you the position of law professor at Haven. I understand that you are in the middle of a case but given the nature of the case I felt it would not be inappropriate to at least make the offer." Ozpin watched Twitch's jaw clench, he took off his huge glasses and cleaned them.

"I can't just leave this case, my partner."

Ozpin smiled with understanding. "I understand, however I will be surprised if you and your officers will be able to solve it." He turned his hand over and conjured with just the tiniest bit of power. A blue flame danced in his palm, he waved his fingers and it turned to a small blizzard. "I think you're problem is supernatural in nature and that is my concern. So I offer you this, if you take the position I will hunt your monster. Personally." He extinguished the magic snapping his hand shut.

Twitch pursed his lips but then slowly nodded. "Qrow trusts you. So I will as well. I do know how to teach and I assume this is a class you have been teaching?"

"Yes, you'll find my notes complete as well as my outline. We can discuss any changes you wish to make as you practice more than I. Your experience would be very welcome." Ozpin moved away from the door and looked over the wall where photos lined it.

Twitch watched Oz weighing the offer in his mind. His whole department was as in the dark as ever as to the source of these attacks, he didn't doubt that Ozpin was right. He came from a line of officers he loved his job, but his relationship with his wife was strained and he had less and less time for his kids. It would be a job at a Huntsmen's Academy so there was an inherent dangers of that but it would be a lot safer than his current job. There would be time for his wife and children. He could fix his home life. "Alright Sir, I will give notice."

Ozpin turned to him. "Thank you… professor Williams."

The door opened and the overweight boorish Same Burke came in cigar in his mouth and donuts in hand. His jaw dropped and the cigar bounced as it hit the ground. His eyes fixed on Ozpin. "What is he doing here?" Sam snarled.

Twitch wisely put himself between Sam and Ozpin. "The Headmaster was just offering me a position at Haven as a law professor."

A smile flashed over Sam's face but then it fell when Twitch didn't say he was staying with the force. "You're not serious."

"This case isn't going anywhere and it would be safer. My wife and kids, I'll have more time for them. It's… a better job Sam." Twitch said then turned to Ozpin. "You better go."

Ozpin dipped his head to Twitch and tried to maneuver his tall frame through the door. Only Sam's fat strong fingers bit like wide needles into Oz's burned arm. Pain bone deep fired up the fragile nerve endings. Ozpin lashed out blindly wrenching his arm away his free hand shoved Sam away from him. His back hit a wall, hunching over shielding his arm. Blood was already staining the green cape as Oz bit back a snarl.

Twitch yanked Sam away from the door and opened it. Ozpin was out the instant later, no one saw him leave. Oz didn't stop till he was in a side alley and hiding in the eve of the door. He shoved the cape out of the way and saw that the blood was already soaking the sleeve spreading out to take over his forearm. The pain refused to fade and he didn't have new dressings on him. The best option was to return to Haven, classes were starting in just under an hour. Gritting his teeth he set off for the school.

He got to his classroom just as the bell rang. The doors banged behind him and it was his first year class, the one with his family in it. "Jaune!" Ozpin snapped cutting through the noise and striding to his desk. He all but ripped the cape off and worked at pulling the now sticky glove off his arm.

"Oh!" Jaune was out of his seat and racing down the steps. He pulled out the kit that remained at Oz's desk at all times. He helped Oz get the sleeve off and pulled out scissors to cut the blood soaked bandages away.

Ruby got very pale when the blackened arm was revealed, still bleeding in a slow pulse. "What happened?" She got up and helped Jaune with the bandages and cleaning.

"I offered Detective Williams this position and his partner took umbrage with that. He saw fit to target my arm." Oz grit his teeth as Jaune used his Semblance. "Needless to say that I will only be your professor for the next two weeks."

"Then what are you going to do?" Cardin asked with thinly veiled malice.

Ozpin looked over with an unimpressed look. "Mistral is in shambles, there is a monster in the city murdering families, I've a wedding to plan. I'm swamped. I never wanted to teach again, I truly doubt you have any idea just what being a Headmaster entails." He hissed as Jaune stopped healing him and the blood gushed. "I've every Huntsmen in the Kingdom to organize and an economy to reorganize. So Mister Winchester, I am going to be very very busy putting this Kingdom back together again so that in a year's time we aren't all starving or so deeply in debt to Atlas that Mistral would take the better part of a century to recover."

Every student that wasn't family was shrinking back into their seats. They really didn't understand just what Ozpin did for them for the Kingdom and seeing him in very clear pain, bleeding and all but snarling. It was scary, to understand just what power he had. That he had so much more to do then they saw. Ruby and Jaune rebound Oz's arm but they left the sling and cape off. Oz's language remained clipped and strained for the whole lesson. The students all but ran save Weiss and Ruby, who knew just what pain did to Oz. They did their best to sooth it before the next class.

Qrow lounged in bed after his lovers went to school. He had his eyes closed as he let the stress of the daily grind melt away. No class, no work, no running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. Just peace and quiet, gosh he couldn't remember the last time it had been like this. Not that he minded company but it was nice to have the quiet too.

Still he couldn't burn the whole day doing nothing. So he got up and ready for the day, by the time he entered the kitchen Lydia was long gone. He leaned on the kitchen island Harbinger was heavy on his hips as he weighed his options. Ozpin had asked him to start cleaning up the city, he had already made one ill meant attempt at that. So instead of making a choice on his own, he pulled out his Scroll and texted Oz. :Where should I start?:

The response took several minutes and Qrow helped himself to a cup of black tea. :The monster crimes, gather up all the paperwork you can. Twitch has agreed to take my job so if he's your only contact in the force you're going to want to make use of that.:

:I've got another Beckett, he's a detective as well though a bit of a loner.:

:Well do what you do, you've long since surpassed anything I taught you.:

:Maybe it's time for the master to become the student.:

:Give me two weeks and I will take you up on that:

:Ha, love you too.:

:Likewise.:

Qrow smiled it was nice to talk about working with Ozpin again, gosh it had been so long since they talked about working together. He scrolled down through his contacts and clicked on Cuthbert Beckett. He clicked on and the messages were so old that they had all been removed. Seeing the blank page was odd. He bit his bottom lip and really wished he had a drink. :Hey Beckett.:

Qrow helped himself to some breakfast before his Scroll pinned.

:Fancy hearing from you after all this time.:

The red eyed man winced, he could hear the condensing smoothness of Beckett's voice in his ear. :Yeah, sorry it's been crazy for me in the last year.:

:Oh so I have heard. How's your fiancee?:

:Glowing.:

:I can imagine that.:

Qrow stuck his tongue out at the thought. :Say, you on that case with the family murders?:

:Twitch mentioned you might be getting into contact. Even Ozpin came in today you should have seen it, ahh the expressions were priceless.:

:Is that a yes or no?:

:You know I don't work with teams. I'm even considering resigning and starting my own practice. However Twitch left me a folder for you, he had a feeling you or Ozpin would have need of it. Shall we meet at Prancing Pony?:

:No thanks, trying to avoid bars right now. How about Griffith Park? That's more your style:

:Agreed, an hour?:

:See you there.:

Qrow closed his Scroll and tucked it into a pocket. Well that had gone about as well as he expected it too. He headed out of the city, Griffith Park was a park just instead Mistrals wall it was small closed in forest with flower beds maintained by a small army of gardeners. Qrow knew it well because it was Beckett's favourite place to meet. Qrow picked his way to a popular pond, families playing ducks in the pond it was picturestc.

A cold shiver ran up Qrow's spine and Murinn rose all on it's own. Qrow felt the shift in him, claws eyes, senses. He jumped up and locked gazes with glowing red eyes. "Fuck Beckett."

Beckett wore a large leather hat it's brim wide, beneath his skin was tanned pale. His hair was black and straight. He wore a straight brown trench coat. Beckett smiled long canines showing for a second. "My, my haven't you changed."

Murinn was screaming at Qrow to get the FUCK away. He warred with the instincts to run and the knowledge that he had worked with Beckett at length before but that was before his magic had really surfaced. "What the hell…"

"Seems we have more in common than the last time we met." Beckett opened his coat and pulled out a heavy brown envelope. "The case, as well as some of my own notes ."

Qrow took the envelope and tried to keep his claws from puncturing it. He could see Beckett own long point needle like claws black like his own. He pulled the string holding it closed and peaked in at the pictures before wrinkling his nose. "Do you have any… opinion on this case?"

Beckett smiled and gestured to a large spot of shade. They walked together till the sun wasn't making them both squint. Beckett removed his hat and Qrow could see the orange return to his eyes. Beckett took a deep breath savouring the scents of the park. "Given your changes, I believe it's safe to say you believe in magic."

"That would be one way to put it." Qrow said he tucked the envelope away in his backpack under his cape.

"Yes do get that out of sight it's rather inconspicuous. That said, I do believe that the murders are the work of a supernatural force. I am sure you noticed the variation in the tracks of said creature. Mythology has provided me with many options but within lore there is always variation and I have not been able to narrow it down."

"Have you at least worked out a theory?" Qrow hated talking to Beckett, it always made him feel stupid.

"Yes, a Konaki-Jiji, Myling, Drekavac or Poroniec. I am still going through my lists, I would be surprised if it is any of those but I think I am in the right field."

Qrow frowned. "Those are all monsters created from babies."

"The only common factor between the cases is that the first a recent birth and the other three had pregnant mothers. The wounds on said mothers have been the same each time. All of them reported a feeling of growing weakness before their murders. The doctor reports suggest that they could find nothing out of the ordinary." Beckett looked over to a family.

"Yet another thing pointing to magic. Still it's odd things like this don't happen very often the circumstances to gather enough energy to work magic like this is pretty hard to do. I mean what I am got kick-startered, that still took the better part of two decades. You're what?"

"Three hundred and fourteen." Beckett smirked. "So let's just say I am much better at this then you are."

"Well you said you wanted to become a PI again, shall we work together again?" Qrow had to tilt his head and give it a shake as Murinn strongly disagreed with that idea.

"I would enjoy that, Gangrel is having fun teasing you." Beckett purred.

"Wait, you can just use that other name whenever you want?"

"Murinn, your name has as much power over you as you let it. While I am sure your lovers can compel you to do any number of things. However if you don't want to be compelled you don't have to be. Still you're young in your magic yet, you know what you might be able to do in another century or two." Beckett put his hat back on.

"How did you pull of immortally?" Qrow asked.

"Your dear Ozpin is far from the only immortal on this world. Nore is his way the only way. Come, lets see what you've retained since the last time we worked together." Beckett strode out from under the tree and Qrow was forced to follow.

"That wasn't that long ago Beckett."

"Given that no one saw you for half a year, I'd say that has been more then long enough for you to get rusty. Then you come back and well, stayed out of trouble as best you can. It was very odd to witness."

"Engaged life suits me?" Qrow mock asked.

"Hmm, you have put on weight. Clearly at least one of your lovers is a capable cook." Beckett tucked his hands behind his back as they existed the park.

"I have not!" Qrow squirmed as he walked trying to see any changes to himself. He gathered his wits and asked. "Where are we going?"

"Back to the crime scene, there are still people on it but we can only hope forensics haven't completely butchered it." Beckett said.

They drew many eyes as they progressed up through the city. Beckett was well known as a scholar and detective, seeing him with Qrow was something that hadn't happened in a couple years. They returned to the high class house it was still cordoned off. They both stepped under the holo tape a few officers looked up but at Beckett's presence didn't dare approach.

The master bedroom had the bodies removed but the blood was still there. Qrow surveyed the damage again but didn't see anything he hadn't shown Twitch. Beckett reached into a leather satchel and pulled out a book bound in something Qrow didn't want to look to closely at. "Take your time. Burke will not bother you this time."

"Alright." Qrow said and took a deep breath, the blood was stail now and next to useless. So instead he walked over to the door to pick up where he left off last time. The sliding door opened without him touching it and he looked over to Beckett who was keeping his metaphorical nose in his book.

Qrow found the crawl prints and this time without worry he followed them out into the garden. The grass had strung back up so the trail was difficult to follow, the backyard was not overly large but it was very fine. He picked his way over to the stone wall that backed the property. He didn't touch anything but he found a pipe poking out the wall had been ruptured

"Ah you found it."

Qrow spun to find Beckett standing behind him, he hadn't heard or smelt the other man follow him. Qrow turned back to the pipe and spread a hand out over the breach. "A baby could fit through this."

"I came to that conclusion as well. I have left it off my report, some individuals have difficulty grasping their is more then just what fits their understanding in the world." Beckett said. "I will report the breach now it's bound to be affecting something. More importantly we know how it is traveling through the city without being spotted."

"Well this could connect to the whole system for all we know, it could have access to the whole city." Qrow stood up then frowned. "So looking into this system could be virtually useless, tracking it through it would be useless. Any abnormalities would already be reported and I am going to assume you've already thought of this."

"Of course. Furthermore I have contacted the local hospital for a list of any expectant mothers that are do within five months."

The colour drained from Qrow's face. "Ruby's due within that time frame."

"You live only a short jog away do you not? Perhaps you should keep a closer eye on your lover, all the murders have been close together so far." Beckett said.

Qrow narrowed his eyes. "You knew that Twitch was going to take the job and you guessed I would come didn't you. You want to snoop around my house."

Beckett smiled that fang filled smile. "How could I have known any of that."

"You're you."

"Fair point. Shall we go?"

Qrow nodded even if the idea sounded awful, the walk was silent and short. Watching Beckett look over Lydia's home made him nervous, his eyes lingered on Ruby's raspberry plant. Unlike the other property Lydia's home did not have a stone backdrop instead it had a clear drop off. Beckett frowned at that and they did a circle of the house.

"Well?" Qrow asked.

Beckett reached into his satchel and pulled out a vile of blood and opened his book again to a pair of blank pages. He pulled the stopper out and dropped just one drop of blood onto the pages. He then sent the book in the grass and after a moment the blood swam and turned bright ruby red. Then turned into a worm like shape that Qrow couldn't figure out. "What is that?"

"Blood from the first motherly victim. It's been aging ever since but I've a trick that when it comes into contact with the aura of a family remember it revitalizes. So I believe it's safe to say you really should be keeping a very close eye on your lover." Beckett collected his book and snapped it shut.

Voices came from the front and the two looked over as Ruby and Weiss entered Lydia's garden. Ruby looked between the two. "I thought I heard you Qrow. Who is that?"

Qrow ground his teeth and moved to Ruby, gathering her into his arms. "Ruby this is Beckett, a friend of mine. Beckett this is Ruby Rose my fiancee and her friend Weiss Schnee."

Beckett's keen red eyes took the two women in. "A pleasure to make your acquaintance." He strode up to Weiss and gave her a slight bow. "I have long wished to converse with a Schnee. Your Semblances are very unique and more than worth studying."

Weiss almost didn't know what to say, thankfully she recovered quickly. "I'm flattered. I am sure we could arrange something."

"Wonderful." Beckett turned his attention to Ruby admiring her eyes for a moment. "Silver eyes, such a rare trait and I find it safe to guess you can use them in a limited capacity. Your aura is very interesting as well. That child in your belly already screams power, you best take every precaution to protect it. It's life will either be very interesting or very short."

Ruby was very glad that Qrow's body was shielding hers. His eyes were very creepy, white was traded out for red and his irises were orange. "Of course we will protect her."

"Her. I did not see that. I assumed it would be male." Beckett pulled his strangely bound book. "How interesting."

"Why is that interesting?" Qrow asked.

"I've been researching Ozpin for a very long time, someone so drenched in bargains, prophecy and magic typically have first born sons. He himself was a seventh son, I expected that trend to continue with him." Beckett opened his book and thumbed a few pages fondly before turning towards the beginning of it.

"She's not his, she is mine." Qrow said firmly.

Surprise was plain on Beckett's face before he schooled it away. "How interesting."

"Care to say what's interesting?" The red eyed man's temper was getting shorter by the moment.

"Ozpin's Aura is in the child. As of course your's and Rubys, and there is a forth. I can't identify it, but it seems to be developing very naturally into an Aura all it's own. Were I too guess it is a new soul not a reincarnation. The layers of the Aura is very strange for a new soul. I honestly have never seen another like it, though I haven't seen Ozpin's either. I would greatly love to study him as well."

All the colour had drained from Ruby's face several sentences ago. "Maybe we should take this inside?" She took a deep breath. "Oz will be here soon." Ruby pulled away from Qrow and pulled out her Scroll.

:Lydia, I need you home.: She sent it and raced ahead of everyone else.

"Oh hell what did you do?" Qrow sprinted into the house after her.

Weiss looked over to Beckett and put on her Schnee smile. "Well you've succeeded in upsetting my best friend in under a minute of knowing her. Before you talk to her again please consider that she is pregnant and fragile both physically and emotionally as a result. Telling her that her baby is weird is not a good way to make a positive first impression."

Beckett smiled showing his fangs. "Better she hears it now then has her baby stolen from her by the hand of any number of monsters that would adore such a child. That child's soul is a masterpiece in the making and it will draw things that you can't even comprehend."

"Hmm." Weiss didn't say anything just turned on her heel and strode into the house. "Come in then, I'll make tea."

Ozpin and Lydia turned up at the same time. She took one look at his arm and took his bag from him. "That looks awful."

"It's been a long day already, Ruby didn't shield for a moment a little while ago. She's distressed."

Lydia wove her arm around his good one. "She also texted me."

They entered the house and found a new person sharing a cup of tea with Weiss. They both knew Weiss well enough to see that she was on edge. The new man stood and locked eyes with Ozpin. Ozpin stiffened he could partially taste the magic on the man. He could even feel that it's nature was similar to Qrow. "Oh."

Beckett smiled and reached his hand out. "A pleasure to meet you at last."

The long black needle claws made Oz purse his lips but he shook his hand. Beckett drew it away with his fingertips coated in Oz's blood. He pulled out his book to a pair of blank pages and brushed the blood off into the pages. Beckett hummed as he admired the tight scripture while walk away putting his back to the far wall.

"Rude much?" Ozpin healed his forearm.

Qrow entered with Ruby, she looked pale and afraid. "That's just how he is." The red eyed man looked over to Beckett. "Oz, he's like me but much older and stronger. I don't understand how he is though."

"Why did you invite him in?"

"He says he can see the Aura of our child and that it's four parts. You, me, Ruby and something else. Needless to say it's freaked Ruby out."

"Seeing as you clearly know who I am, care to introduce yourself?" Ozpin asked he picked out a spot in the middle of the couch. Ruby and Qrow picked the free corner away from Beckett.

"Apologies. You may call me Beckett." Those inhuman eyes looked up from the page.

"And how is it you are drenched in magic?" Ozpin could feel the magic from Beckett stronger now.

"Oh, I'm like your Qrow. Plus three centuries, you may be one of the biggest mortal magical forces on the planet dear Ozpin. But you are from the only one and your way is not the only way." Beckett turned his attention back to his book, the pages crafted by the blood.

"Care to enlighten us?" Ozpin asked.

"No." Beckett looked over to Ruby, that orange glow brightened it for a moment.

Qrow growled seeing Beckett's attention shift. "Care to clarify what you said to us?"

"Your child I can see has four Auras. From my studies some souls are crafted upon conception of the child. It is often very easy to see the two separate Aura, over the course of development they come one Aura. One new soul. I see the same processes within the young lady, only four parts not two. Two are red like Ruby and Qrow, another is green akin to yours Ozpin. The last is a light blue. Beyond that I can not guess at why there are four, nor identify the owners." Beckett shrugged. "At least beyond colour."

Lydia frowned. "I have a theory at least on three of those. Thank you for your insight Beckett, please leave this is a family matter."

"As you wish, do keep in touch Qrow." Beckett dipped his head to Qrow. He glanced at Oz with those orange and red eyes but didn't say a word.

Everyone breathed a little easier when they heard the front door close. "Lydia?" Ozpin asked.

"Well you three are bonded together, it stands to reason that somehow through it you donated a piece of your soul to your child's creation." Lydia pursed her lips. "This really is fascinating. I haven't heard of a vessel soul take two partners before. We should try and keep an eye on this. This Beckett, do you trust him?"

"Uhh, that's a hard one. He serves knowledge over everything else if he feels he can learn something from us he will keep that information to himself. I have no idea how he can see Aura but he's over three centuries old. He's had the time to develop his magic beyond anything I can do. It well as you saw, I'd be surprised if it hasn't changed him." Qrow said.

"Your magic is still out as well." Ozpin nodded towards Qrow's claws. "Have you even noticed?"

"No I hadn't." Qrow looked at them and willed them away, his magic down.

"So to sum up, just being around Beckett made your magic react. He can see things we can't and we have no idea how his magic or long life works." Ozpin listened off his fingers. "I would like to keep him around, I have a feeling we could learn from him as well."

"I'll contact him after I've been through the case files he gave me. I don't think he'll teach us anything of his own accord but I'll see if I can pick anything up from just working with him." Qrow pulled the file out of his bag. "I peeked into it already and it's nasty so it will be nice to work with someone for it."

"A good idea." Ozpin said, silently glad that Qrow wouldn't be alone. "What about the bandit situation? You can't take the case on and do that."

"We'll go over the case then Oz, work it together based on who has the time."

"That gives me time with Beckett as well."

Ruby looked between the two of them, she didn't like this. She had a sick feeling that she'd end up alone a lot with this plan, she cupped her belly trying subconsciously protect her baby.
