The rest of the day was rather uneventful for Jaune. After Junior's men finished moving his furniture, they said they had to be somewhere else. After a couple of goodbyes, the men left Jaune and his friends. When they left, the four teens got started working on his room.

After many hours of sorting, moving furniture, setting up cables and wires, more furniture moving, furniture removal, even more furniture moving, and getting rid of the boxes, the room was furnished with what they had

Jaune wanted to get rid of two beds to make room for a two seat couch, which was done. If you stood in the stores entrance, you would see that the couch sat in the middle of the room facing the right with the TV sitting on the stand placed across from it with the stand and TV up against the wall. On the right of the TV, which was pretty close to the door, laid the mini fridge he had. While it was currently empty he had plans of filling it up with snack and food once he got enough money. On the left side of the room next to the window was a swivel chair pushed up against a desk that had a computer on it. This was his personal computer that he left back at Vale. On the farthest wall were the two beds and dressers. Finally, on the wall with the door was a bookcase filled with books and comics that the blonde had. His rocket locker was in between the bookcase and the door. Posters of many things spiced up the walls a little bit. There were a couple of posters of bands Jaune listened to, a couple of TV and movie posters as well. The place looked almost like a bachelor pad.

Jaune was proud that he was able to get his room done with and out of the way. Of course, he knows he couldn't have done it by himself. He made sure to thank Dew, Octavia, and Brawnz for their help. They said they were glad to help and as long as they got to hang out here from time to time they figured that would be payment enough. Even they get sick of their dorms every now and then, and since the boy only had two beds, the room can be a pretty awesome party room due to the extra space.

After that it was around dinner time and the rest of the day went by in a flash. In fact, the whole week went by in a flash.

Classes were going like normal, with a ton of homework and classwork of course. Jaune slowly learned the little ticks of his teachers and peers throughout the week. For instance, Mr. Wolff always had a weapon in the room next to him as he was taught to always be prepared. Nolan would tend to goof off in class yet still somehow get the information. A couple of students would sometime be late with a couple of bruises and cuts on them. Their excuse was they were in a fight and most of the teachers, not all of them though, would accept that as an excusable tardiness.

His theory about the NDGO girls proved right when someone asked Nebula out before class. When the guy wouldn't take no for an answer, she flipped him over her desk and continued as if nothing happened. Octavia and Roy would often sit together and discuss what kind of weird contraptions they can think of next. Jaune was unfortunate enough to be a test subject for one of them. When he sat down for Grimm studies Octavia gave him a small device and told him to keep an eye on it. When he did it released a foul stench that filled his nostrils, making it hard for him to focus as the stench stayed with him for the rest of the day.

The weird thing was, he just accepted these things for what they were.

It was small moments like that Jaune realized that he was finally settled in. He remembered all the weirdness of Beacon when he first got there, and how fun it was when he got used to it. Now that feeling was with Shade. It brought a smile to the blonde's lips.

Not only that, but Dr. Leonardo was able to schedule a therapist for his nightmares this week as well. His first session was at the end of the week and when he went there he was surprised by how comfortable she made it for him. His therapist was a rabbit faunus named Jasmine with black ears and kind brown eyes. The first session was just a conversation about getting to know each other and for Jaune to just explain some of the nightmares he was having. After he was done explaining his nightmares his time was up. She explained that she'll try to think of a way to help him push through them and to come to her if the nightmares ever get worst.

However, Jaune had to believe that his most crowning moment was finding out more about his semblance. Due to him not being able to participate in combat class, he was only allowed to watch the fights that happened in them.

Jaune watched with intensity as the fought waged on. Right now it was Clayton facing off against a male student with a rifle with a lot of dust compartments. So it was basically revolvers vs assault rifle. Right now Clayton seemed to be beating the guy fairly easily. He was surprised at how masterful Clayton was at dual wielding revolvers.

Not to mention how familiar the technique looked. The knight could have sworn he's seen the technique before. It wasn't Ren's style. As crazy as it sounded, Ren's was a little more gung-ho. This seemed to be a little more… restrictive in a way; more controlled. From the switching of revolvers to the reloading, it all had a mix between flair and controlled.

He also found out in this battle why Clayton had four revolvers. Two were filled with regular bullets. The other two were filled with dust bullets. Clayton kept the dust guns in the back while keeping his normal ones on his sides.

As the fight went one, Jaune remembered something from initiation. He remembered how he was able to control part of his semblance if only for a little bit. All he had to do was concentrate and focus his aura to his head. So as the fight continued, he took a deep breath and focused his aura to his head; specifically, to his eyes. When he opened them, he is met with a familiar red tint in his eyes. When the boy focuses in on Clayton, the white text appears again.

Scanning…

A couple of seconds go by and the info appears on the left side of Jaune's vision.

Name: Clayton Marston

School: Shade

Weapon(s): Four S&W Model 29 revolvers. Two with Dust rounds. Two with regular.

Semblance: ?

Age: 18

Jaune lost focus as the text appeared. He began to blink rapidly as if he was trying to figure out if this was real. Sure enough, it was.

What he found funny was the info that was shown was stuff he had somewhat known. The only new information to him was the age and the type of revolvers Clayton had. The blonde took a moment to think about this revelation. He tries to piece everything he has seen with these eyes when his vision was tinted red.

"I got information from people and certain things, suggestions to do when in a tense situation, and I was able to learn new info," He hypothesized. "Almost like a heads-up display in a video game." However, this brought up another question for Jaune.

What were the purple and green visions?

He is shaken from his thoughts when he feels something hit the side of his head. He rubs the spot where he was hit and turns to find Dew had flicked a bottle cap from her water at him.

"You good dude?" She asked. Jaune asked why he wouldn't. "Because you're staring intently at the fight with red eyes and muttering to yourself." He shakes his head and rubs his eyes. Did his eyes change color when he did this? It clicked in his head why Maria was able to see part of his eyes during their fight.

"So my eyes are red right now?" he asked. NDGO nodded their heads. Jaune closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He slowly stops focusing his aura around his head and opened his eyes up to see his vision was back to normal. "What about now?"

"No way," Nebula said in disbelief. "How'd you do that?" All of NDGO had quizzical looks on their faces causing the blonde to chuckle and scratch his head.

"I think it's his semblance," Octavia answered for him. Jaune pointed at Octavia.

"I think she's right." NDGO began pelting him with questions about his semblance. What was it? How strong was it? Was it offensive or defensive? He put his hands up to calm them down. "Look, I don't know all of the details about it, all right? I just need to do a little experimenting to figure it out." NDGO nodded in understanding. After that, the five of them continued watching the fight.

The student with the assault rifle charged at Clayton as he shifted the assault rifle to a large broadsword. He swings down hard enough to break the concrete but Clayton was able to roll out of the way. He gets some distance and pulled out one of his regular revolvers and pelts the guy with a couple of rounds.

The other student switched back to assault rifle mode and fired a small burst of bullets into Clayton, having his aura dip a little bit. Seeing as how this was an open arena, Clayton could only try and dodge bullets.

With Clayton stunned a little the other student charged at him again. He switched back to greatsword mode and swung horizontally. Clayton ducked in time and took down the student with a takedown. Jaune expected him to take out his guns and fire rapidly into the student but the cowboy kept them holstered.

He mounted the student and began a flurry of punches. The student tries to reach for Clayton's gun but Clayton slams his hand to the ground to prevent it. He then somehow knees the guy in the face and then in a swift motion puts the man in an armbar. The student tries to grasp for his sword but to no avail. He does, however, grab a stone. The student grips the stone tightly and tries his best to hit Clayton in one of his legs. It succeeds and Clayton loosened up just enough for the student to snake his way out.

The two of them get some distance from each other. As the student runs toward his weapon Clayton pulled out his Dust pistol and shot a shock round into the student's sword. When the student got to it not only was he shocked, but after recovering he couldn't switch it back to gun mode, making him an easy target to Clayton's ranged attacks.

What Jaune found interesting is that despite his look, Clayton always seemed to stay at long to mid-range with his shots. Jaune may be stereotyping here, but he expected Clayton to be all rootin' tootin' shoot at anything that moves kind of guy. Yet his aim and his skill seemed to be more than just "Aim and shoot."

So he decided to test his semblance again. His vision turned red as he concentrated his aura around his head again. He kept a close eye on Clayton as he did his moves. He took in any detail he could remember and his semblance did help. With every move Clayton did, his semblance seemed to have a white outline around Clayton's body with the words "scanning" on the outside of them.

After a few minutes of fighting, the text of his aura finished with "Scan complete" on the top corner of his vision. All of a sudden his vision was filled with a small set of facts.

Fighting Style: Atlasian Akimbo, a style that was originally taught in Atlas for its showier move set than actual practicality. Over the years certain huntsmen were able to use its effectiveness in battle. It has gained popularity since then. It keeps the duel wielding skills and tricks used in performances and mixes it with Atlasian soldier training to make an effective gunslinger.

Most effective in short or mid-ranged fights.

As Jaune read the information, it finally clicked where he saw this technique.

Arc Household: a few years ago:

The sound of multiple guns go off in the woods near the Arc household. Michael Arc had a make shift range in his backyard and often let his kids use it as long as he, their grandad, or their mother were around to watch them.

Right now, Samantha Arc had just returned from Atlas for a few days and decided to show her ten year old little sister, Jade, a few things she learned. One of her favorite techniques was the Akimbo style shooting she was learning there. However, she didn't want her little sister to hurt herself so she was just teaching her how to properly shoot a gun while she practiced her akimbo.

When Jade's gun got jammed, she thought it was empty and accidently pointed it at her sister as she examined it. Sam was smart enough to get out of the barrels way and sternly scold her sister about proper barrel control.

As she was scolding her however, Jade's twin Jaune came out and was wondering what his twin and older sister were doing. When he found out that Sam was teaching Jade something he got annoyed.

"Why does she get to learn and I don't?" he complained. Samantha was going to say because Jade asked her about the new stuff she learned at Atlas. Of course, Jade decided to be an annoying sister and taunt Jaune instead.

"Because I'm older than you that's why!" Again Sam tried to explain that it was just because Jade asked first. However the two began to argue and she knew better than anyone to not bug an Arc sibling fight.

"Why do you always bring that up? Mom says its only by seven minutes!"

"Yeah but it still makes me older than you!"

Sam sighed and put down her pistols, while making sure their empty and the safety's off of course. She knew she had to make sure the two twins wouldn't kill each other as they began to escalate into a shoving match. Jade shoved Jaune which caused the boy to stumble back.

"Jerk!" she yelled. Jaune got back up and shoved his sister back.

"Loser!"

"Spaz!"

"Bitch!"

The minute that came out of her brother's mouth Sam was up in his face and grabbing his arm. Jaune winced in pain as Sam stared him dead in the eye. Any anger between the two of them was replaced with fear. He feared what Sam would do to him, and Jade was scared for her brother.

"Where did you hear that word?" Sam said threateningly. Her younger brother was shaking with so much fear that he didn't answer. Sam tightened her grip and spoke in a low stern voice. "Answer. Me."

"O-on the TV!" He yelped out. "W-why it's just a word…"

"Never say that word to a girl, especially your sisters. It's a bad word and if any of us catch you hearing it you'll be in big trouble. Understand?" Jaune nodded his head quickly. Sam gave him a glare but lessened her grip. She then turned over to Jade who was watching all of this unfold.

"And you," Sam said as she pointed to her sister. Jade tensed up as she was called out. "Whatever it was that caused you to make fun of Jaune ends now, got it?" Jade nodded her head. Sam takes a deep breath and lets her brother go and goes over to the range again. As she did she heard the twins apologize to each other.

"I'm sorry I called you… that word," Jaune said as he rubbed his arm.

"I'm sorry I pushed your buttons," Jade said. She opens her arms and has an awkward smile. "Twin apology hug?"

He chuckles at the awkwardness and hugs his twin sister. Sam was glad she was able to stop the two from killing each other before it escalated. With them making up, she turns towards them and grabs their attention.

"Now that you two are done being brats, want to see the Atlasian Akimbo I learned at Atlas?" she waved two guns to add emphasis. "It uses two guns~!" she said in a singsong voice. Both Jade and Jaune's eyes lit up when she mentioned the two guns.

As Jaune remembered that day he felt a little sorrow in his heart. He may have found out what Marston was using and a little bit more about his semblance, but it reminded him of his family. He had to wonder… they still loved him… right?

"Of course they don't," Jaune thought bitterly. "I've been gone for months and haven't heard anything from them. At least my old team's trying to reconnect with me. It's more than I can say for my family."

He was shaken from his thoughts when he felt a hand clamp on his shoulder. he turns to see it belonged to Octavia of NDGO. "You all right dude?" she asked. "You seemed out of it." He rubbed his face.

"Yeah I'm fine…" he said. Despite that the four girls could tell he was not fine from his tone. Nebula decided to push her luck.

"You sure Jaune?" she asked him. The blonde goof just nodded his head but still had a somber look on his face.

"I'm sure. I'm just… remembering home." The girls of NDGO all looked at each other. Jaune never really talked about his home and from the look on his face it was definitely a sensitive topic.

"Well, we're here if you need to talk dude," Dew said without any snark. Jaune appreciated and nodded his head but stayed silent. JHe tried to be happy. After all, he just found out more about his semblance! Yet he couldn't shake the thoughts of his family. The Arc tried to shake thehomesicknesss for the rest of the day.

Present day:

Ever since Jaune found out about his semblance, he did a little bit more testing with it.

During a fight that Gwen had, he used his semblance to try and recall his purple vision he got at initiation. Apparently it was a sort of "aura tracker" that could sense the use of aura and semblances, as he was able to see roughly where Gwen was when she turned invisible. Granted it took about 60% of his aura when he used it for about a minute but he chalked it up as needing to practice it more.

The green vision he had was a sort of "clear vision" kind of thing. He was able to see in the dark and since he was able to see through the smoke during his fight with Maria, he figured it made his vision clear. Granted the setback was it slowly drained his aura, not as fast as his aura seeking but not as slow as his HUD vision, but still enough to tire him. It also made it so his eyes would glow green which meant he had to find a way to dim them so it wasn't obvious.

Since Jaune couldn't fight to train for the rest of the week he spent the majority of it in the gym. That was where he was right now, or at least he was in the public locker room grabbing his gear as he left for the day. Since his own Rocket locker was in his room, he learned that he could use some of the school's public lockers for a little bit so he didn't have to drag his stuff everywhere. As long as he had his own lock and kept track of his stuff the school was okay with it. He thought he had a good workout as he had a lot of sweat dripping down his face.

As he was packing up he heard a group of voices walk into the locker room. He puts on his shirt and turns to the voices to see Brandon, Gwen's boyfriend, talking with two other guys. Brandon saw Jaune and walked up to the blonde with a smile on his face.

"'Sup Jaune?" Brandon greeted. The blonde boy gave a nod back and closed the locker he had.

"Hey Brandon," the blonde responded.

"So did you have a decent workout?" Brandon asked. Jaune said yes and the two began to get into a discussion about both their workout routines. Apparently, they got so engrossed with it, neither of them noticed that Brandon's friends left them. "Well shit. Sorry Jaune, I didn't mean to take up this much of your time."

"It's all right dude." Jaune got up and gave him a two-fingered salute. "I'll see you around."

"Actually, hang on I forgot to ask you something!" Jaune tilted his head as Brandon stood up and looked him directly in the eye. "Are you coming onto Gwen?" The sweaty boy was taken back by the sudden question.

"No! I'd never do that, why?" Brandon squinted at him, almost as if he wasn't believing him.

"Because I heard that Gwen had her arm around your shoulder after you guys fought Maria." Jaune had his hands up in defense when Brandon said that.

"Dude I was half-conscious at the time and passed out. She was just helping me that's all." Again, Brandon just stared at him. Then he starts laughing.

"I'm sorry dude! I must have taken my friend's word out of context. He made it sound like you two were clinging to each other as a reward or something. I mean you don't seem the type to try and steal another's girlfriend… right?" While Brandon asked that in a joking tone, Jaune had heard the icy undertone in his voice. To a normal person, it would have just sounded like Brandon was just joking, but Jaune lived in a house where you had to read undertones or else you'd misinterpret something. Brandon was accusing Jaune.

"Of course not!" He said in a light tone. He needed to make it seem like he didn't hear the accusation in the second year's voice. "My sisters would gut me alive if I did that." The two shared a laugh, but Jaune felt uneasy as he did. Eventually, the two left the locker room and went their separate ways.

Jaune took deep breathes as he returned to his room. Brandon's jealousy was a little… intense to say the least; maybe even a little too intense. His older sister Dakota had a boyfriend just like that and… well let's just say that wasn't the healthiest of relationships.

He decided to keep this in the back of his head. He wasn't going to call either of them out on it. He just met Brandon and it wasn't his place to butt into their relationship; at least not yet. Although, perhaps if he hinted it towards NDGO?

He shook his head. He needed to clear his thoughts and nothing did that than watching mindless TV for an hour or three. Of course, that was after he took a shower. With a plan in mind, the yellow-haired kid headed to his room with determination. Of course, this was Jaune, nothing happens the way he expected it.

As soon as he opened his door he is greeted by NDGO and BRNZ. Apparently, they made themselves comfortable as they all seemed to be doing various activities. When he opened the door though, they all turned to him and said in unison: "Surprise!"

The blonde knight was silent with a dead look on his face. He asked one blank question. "Why?"

"Main reason?" Nebula said. She was on one of the beds with a small pile of his comics lying next to her. "Since you got done moving in think of it as a housewarming party."

"The other reason is that this place is pretty comfy without the extra beds and we wanted to try it out," Roy said as he muted the TV. Jaune felt his eye twitch.

"You guys broke into my dorm," he listed. "Used my stuff, more than likely went through my personal belongings, and expect me to be okay with it just because it's a surprise party?" Jaune saw a couple of them tense up as he said that. He then gave a sigh broke into his grin. "I should be mad, but for some reason I can't find myself to be."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when he said that. Now, if this was Beacon, he more than likely would be angry at the fact that they did this. However after hanging out with these two teams for a school week and his initiation he's come to realize that this was just how they rolled. Honestly, he kind of liked it.

"Just promise me you guys won't break in next time?" While all of them gave various versions of no, he could tell that they were joking.

"All right I promise not to make Gwen pick the lock next time we decide to come over," Octavia said. Jaune gave a tiny chuckle and caught a soda that Brawnz tossed at him.

"Well are you going to sit there standing like a log or are you going to hang out with us?" he asked. Jaune smiled and tossed his gear to the side and decided to enjoy a little bonding time with his friends.
