Rated M just in case.

7. Chapter 5

Hey everyone here's the next chapter and we will be continuing The Amazing Jaune Arc story by Brotherhoof12.

I hope you guys enjoy it, I am really glad so many people have liked this story and I just want to say thank you.

Also some of you have been wondering why I have Salem be the ancestor to the Arc's, Glynda and Cinder. Well PWP suggested I do it and I said I would give it some thought, and it felt like that for the Arc's it made sense given that the symbol Salem has looks like the Arc symbol upside down and has an add on to it.

There is also the fact that Jaune shares similarities with both Ozpin and Salem. He has the blonde hair and blue eyes of pre-well of death Salem and the hair and similar face to Ozpin, it could also explain Tyrian's interest in Jaune so I decided I would roll with it.

And it could actually become cannon given the evidence that makes the theory valid and could give Jaune some major importance to the story.

As for Cinder and Glynda I thought it sounded like a cool idea so I went with that to.

Story: Brotherhoof12's The Amazing Jaune Arc ch. 4-5

---

In the movie theater everyone is enjoying the break in their own ways. Oobleck was in the library reading many books of cultures from other universe's, he was currently reading about Greek Mythology.

Winter and Weiss were currently in the gaming room enjoying themselves on some of the different games there.

Ruby and Velvet were in the training room and checking out some of the weapons from other universe's. Velvet was taking pictures of some of them and, thanks to an upgrade to her camera Wolf had given her, she could now have the weapons permanently on her camera. Now they just need to temporarily recharge after being used so she has to smart about what weapon she uses and when.

Pyrrha and Nora were also in the training room and Nora was helping Pyrrha try new things put with her semblance by redirecting Nora's grenades. She was also trying some of the more lethal ones on practise monsters. Wolf had a magic book that could summon monsters from any world for them to train against and has them categorized by difficulty. Pyrrha figured she would only use the more lethal moves on grimm, or at least the ones she can use on grimm. The only time she would even consider using them on people would be if it was a last resort.

She is still trying to find some gauntlets for her to use with her semblance, though Wolf said he was trying to think of some new armor for her that has gauntlets and gives her better protection, given that a corset shouldn't count as armor.

Meanwhile Saphron and Terra were playing around with Adrian's outfit they got when they were receiving gifts. The outfit turned into the spiderman costume and they just gushed over how cute he looked.

Cici walked over and saw Adrian and she just couldn't contain herself. "Oh my gods! He looks so adorable!" squealed Cici. Adrian just giggled at everyone and did a cute little clap.

Many of the girls from Beacon also gushed over little Adrian, especially Salem thought her 'grandson' was cute. Meanwhile Cindy, inside of Cici's head, felt ill from how sickeningly sweet this was.

"Is it ok if I can hold him for a while please?" asked Cici. Saphron and Terra were a little hesitant but chose to let Cici hold him, Adrian then started playing with her hair.

Tyrian was waiting patiently for when the next viewing would start, he thought the Arc boy was interesting before but after learning he is a descendant of his goddess just strengthens his interest in him. Though he is a little annoyed to learn Cinder is also a descendant of Salem.

After a while Wolf called everyone back to the theater and when everyone got back and sat down he said, "Ok now that everyone is here we can continue with the Spider-Jaune universe." Ruby was excited since she really likes the idea of Jaune as a superhero. The screen turned on and opened to Romans hideout.

"So, you're certain that he was taken care of?" The female voice said trough Roman's Scroll.

Everyone recognised the voice as Cinder's and turned to Cici. When she noticed everyone was looking at her she gave a nervous chuckle and wave.

"You bet." Roman's then motioned his head to his posse moving large quantity of dust. "We sent him to the afterlife. There is no way he could survive an explosion that big."

"Apparently you didn't do a thorough enough search." remarked Winter.

"Hey cut me some slack, there aren't a lot of people, even with aura, that could survive something like that." defended Roman.

"Then well done, Roman." Roman heard faint whispering from the other side of the Scroll. "Now that the so called 'Hero' is dead, we can go back to our original plan."

"Well your gonna be in for quite the surprise aren't you?" asked Yang with a smile. This caused Roman to just grumble in annoyances.

"I already have Junior getting his boys to help me with Dust, you do-"

"There will be more help to get Dust than your average thug-for-hire." She cut him off. "We'll be getting more outside help this time. Thanks to that insect delaying my plan it's time to accelerate our deadline."

"Ms. Fall, I feel I should inform you that spiders are not insects they are arachnids." corrected Oobleck.

"Yes sir." replied a deflated Cici. Cindy on the other hand, "Go stuff it you hyperactive bookworm!" Oobleck was none to happy about that remark, though Cici once again apologize for Cindy's outburst. Adrian then patted Cici's face to comfort her, this brought a smile to the maidens face.

A few actually felt bad for Cici and decided they wanted to help her, Mr. Midnight-Phoenix did say that if they were to connect with Cici better than Cinder could end up a nicer person

"And who, may I ask, is going to help me?" Roman asked while taking a hit from his cigar.

"The White Fang." As soon as she said that he coughed mid smoke, making him pound his chest.

"Why those animals?!" Roman said while coughing.

"I'm getting tired of hearing you say that." growled Sienna.

"In my defence I'm… only calling the White Fang animals." said Roman trying to save his hide. "Not faunus in general, I mean you White Fang bunch aren't doing your people any favors hehe." 'yeah I'll go with that.'

"While I may not enjoy his use of the word animal, I am afraid I must agree with Mr. Torchwick on the state of the White Fang." said Ghira.

Sienna wanted to retort but after what a few faunus said in the last session, and learning what Adam had been up to, she was force to agree that maybe her actions were somewhat… drastic. She was also none to happy with Adam working with a known criminal, which would make the White Fang look even worse. Ilia thought the same as Sienna and felt worse when Blake just looked at her in slight agreement. Was this why Blake left, did she see what the Fang had become and wanted no part in it?

Adam however just scoffed at that. "Don't make me laugh, I think we have only gotten started."

Sienna was none to happy with Adam butting in, "Adam now is not th-"

"No lady Khan, if we are truly going to make any kind of progress then we are to make more drastic choices. That is why I decided to join the plan to take down Beacon.

"Taurus! That is enough, it's clear to see you don't care for what the White Fang wish to accomplish but instead wish to go by your own self interest." spat the tiger faunus. She will not forget the knowledge of how Adam will bring her death and knows that when they get back she will have to take care of him. Adam just sneered at the high leader and turned toward the screen.

"The White Fang gave their support in hopes to get more recruitment. They've been losing some followers thanks to the Spider-Man and his good deeds." She said as if it that last part of her sentence caused her to vomit.

"To think some human is causing faunus to no longer wish to stand up for their people, it disgusts me." spat Adam.

"You leave Jaune alone, he's doing a better job at help faunus relations in this world then you." spat Velvet, once again surprising Coco with how her usually shy teammate acted.

"And how exactly are they going to help me when they can't even help themselves?"

"You need more assistance and they need followers for their movement. You're a smart man I'm sure you can see the benefit for both our groups." She said with a bit of amusement.

It didn't take the master thief long before he realized what she was getting at. He placed both hand on his Scroll, as if trying to choke the person on the other end of the call for coming up with such an insane plan.

"You want me to recruit more followers for them?!" He said hysterically.

"You're a very persuasive man. I'm sure you can make them join The White Fang easily."

"They'll tear me apart. After all I'm the one who killed the spider." Roman started to see the outcome of what could happen if it goes wrong. "Pretty sure they don't want me to help since I killed one of their own."

"Yeah, I don't really see how they would follow you after that." deadpanned Qrow.

"Yes, but what's stopping him from leaving out that detail?" asked Ghira. This thought made a few peoples eyes widen.

"The White Fang want blind followers that wish to take their rage on humans. If you simply don't say you killed Spider-Man, then I'm sure you can make them into faithful soldiers for the Faunus movement." Roman heard her chuckle at the thought of it happening.

"It seems you were right old friend." said Nicholas.

"Yes so it seems." sighed Ghira.

"Now that Spider-Man's gone, things will start getting more and more chaotic for the kingdom of Vale with us controlling everything with no one to stop us."

"Even if I do get them to join, I'm going to need more than just extra bodies to move all this Dust." When Roman said that he heard several objects breaking. He turned his head to see broken boxes and his men shouting at each other.

"Seems you don't have very good goons under your belt eh Roman?" mocked Yang.

"Well you try finding good help these days. I swear it's like it's gang up on Roman day with all of you." grumbled Roman with Neo patting his back while holding back some laughter.

"I already have several large shipments coming your way, just show them to the Faunus and they'll soon join with no hesitation. Now, if we're done talking, I must meet someone very important for my next part of the plan. Be sure not to fail me Roman. Now that this Spider-Man is gone you have no excuse for making mistakes." His Scroll showed him the caller hanged up leaving him to his thoughts on his situation.

One problem gone, and another shows up. Even if more animals join their cult club I still need to watch where I'm placed in her plan.

"Excuse me, but the White Fang is not a cult." said Sienna.

"Eh your kind of a cult if you think about it." said Sun.

"Neo." Roman called for his assistant, the sound of glass breaking behind him revealing a smiling Huntress. "Get the boys ready. We'll be getting more helpers soon and we'll need them to be extra careful with the next few days."

Neo gave her boss a nod before she shattered to pieces. Roman was walking back to his office to get his part of the plan started but stopped when he noticed a small spider cross his path.

The sight of the spider made Roman raise his foot to squash it, but stopped just above it, allowing the spider to quickly crawl away and enter a small crack in a nearby stone column. With the spider now gone Roman started to walk to his office with a single thought repeating to him in his head.

Was he really dead?

"Only now are you left with doubt, and it was after you had reported him dead. I doubt it will go well for you Mr. Torchwick when he is found alive." said Ozpin.

"Yeah you're telling me." grumbled Roman.

"Jaune? Jaune, are you awake?" Aunt May shouted from the kitchen. "You're going to be late for school!" The woman of the house placed her cooked eggs on the table and put her kitchen mitts away.

Walking to the bottom of the stairs Aunt May waited a couple more seconds, waiting to hear her young tenant's voice only to hear nothing from the second floor.

"Jaune, I'm coming upstairs." Aunt May walked to the top of the stairs, and yet still no noise from his room, making Aunt May anxious.

"Jaune is gonna have to think hard about what he's gonna tell her about the cuts he got." said Blake.

"Yeah she isn't gonna be happy about that." cringed Ruby.

"I- I'm sure Jaune will come up with something." said a hopeful Pyrrha.

He always answers when I call him. I hope he didn't stay up all night studying.

"Jaune? I'm opening your door." She placed her hand on the door knob and turned it. "Please excuse the intrusion." The door was already half way open when Jaune's head popped out, causing the older woman to step back in surprise.

"Wait where's the cut that was on his head?" asked Yang.

"Yeah that didn't look like a cut that would just disappear." Coco.

"Perhaps we will find out soon enough." said Ren.

"Morning, Aunt May." Jaune said nonchalantly. "I was just using the bathroom. Is breakfast ready?"

The startled woman was still trying to calm her heart before she gave him a disapproving stare for surprising her, but soon let out a sigh. "Breakfast is already done. Just get dressed and hurry downstairs."

"Thank you, Aunt May." Jaune kissed her forehead and closed the door as she returned downstairs to get started on her day.

That boy. Always on his toes whenever I open his door. I hope whatever he's hiding doesn't give him too much trouble.

"Ok I understand keeping his identity from the public, but why from Mrs. Parker of all people?" asked Weiss.

"Perhaps then she would worry to much, and it could make things harder for him probably." stated Ren.

"Kids right. The woman doesn't look like she could handle something like that, she might have a heart attack." said Qrow.

"Or because she might ask to many questions, try to get involved somehow or try to stop him, I know I would do any of those." said Juniper.

Mrs. Parker was no fool. She always catches small noises at night, especially when it comes to Jaune's room. It became even more apparent with Jaune and his many side jobs keeping him very busy next to his school work. With so much on his plate it's understandable for him to come home late if he wanted to get more lien to help her with the bills, but last night when she heard him come home it sounded like he was in pain. She was staring to get concerned with his late-night activities.

"It seems Mr. Arc isn't as careful as he thought." said Goodwitch.

"Well it might be hard crawling on walls so that could make a lot of noise." suggested Summer.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she came face to face with the family portraits. The one picture that caught her attention was the one of her husband, Ben Parker. Taking the frame with both her hands she places it on her chest and prayed that her husband's looking down on them, giving them his best wishes whenever they get in trouble. Opening her eyes, she placed it back on the shelf and looked at her husband's picture, as if he was right in front of her. She asked the picture the same question ever since his passing.

Just then Qrow, Ruby and Yang all hugged Summer remembering how much they missed her over the years.

"What am I going to do, Ben?"

"Man, that was close." Letting a quick sigh of relief Jaune closed the door and turned back to his ruined costume that was on his bed. "It's gonna take a while to fix this suit, but that's why I always have a spare I suppose."

"Oh joy." deadpanned Coco. She was happy to see the outfit destroyed, but to know there was a spare ruined it for her.

Balling up the costume the teen stuffed it under his bed and fished out a long flat box with a small combination lock. Putting in the code, he unlocked the case to show his sewing kit and a freshly clean spare next to it.

"Wait Jaune can sew?" asked Weiss.

"Oh yes me and my daughters taught Jaune how to do a lot of things." said Juniper. "He can cook, clean, sew, garden, bake, give massages, style a person's hair, craftsmanship, sing, dance, play instruments and so much more. I wanted him to be the perfect little boy any girl would fall for." A few of the girls couldn't believe what they just heard, it sounded more like he was raised to the perfect house husband or even a servant then anything.

"Hold on, I knew about the massages after that time professor Oobleck made me sit up straight on those uncomfortable chairs, but this is the first I heard about hair styling." said Yang. If she knew he could style hair she might have asked him to try hers, though it would be hesitantly since she isn't too keen to let someone touch her hair.

"Doctor! And Ms. Xiao-Long, proper posture is important." said Oobleck.

"Yeah well my back pain would beg to differ." said Yang. Oobleck just grumbled at that.

"Wait you got a massage from Jaune?" asked a slightly jealous Ruby.

"Oh yeah I swear it felt like I went to heaven, I'm a little embarrassed to say that I moaned a bit and passed out from how good it felt. He has some very soft yet firm hands." said Yang who, after seeing the jealous glares from the girls with crushes on Jaune, chose to leave out the part where after she woke up she decided to tease Jaune by saying next time she might let him massage her ass. Tai was none too happy to hear that himself, especially the part where the boy made his daughter moan.

"Wait you said he could sing and play instruments, but I heard him once and it wasn't very good." said Weiss.

"Was he nervous? He always had trouble when he's nervous." asked Juniper.

"He was asking Weiss to the dance." said Ruby.

"That would do it." said Juniper. Weiss now felt guilty again, remembering all the time she turned him down. She also remembers she was pretty cold when doing so, in fact she recalls a few times she didn't even look him in the eyes when rejecting him.

Ok, bad news: I'm dead and the people behind it will probably go full force into whatever they're planning. The good news: They think I'm dead, so all I need to do is catch them by surprise.

"A double edged sword if you would." said Ozpin.

"Yes I wouldn't be surprised if crime ran rampant if they thought the hero that had been stopping it died." said Goodwitch.

"Easier said than done." That night was the first time he ever fought actual Huntsmen. He usually deals with regular muggings and robberies, but that was the first time he ever dealt with professional fighters.

Still, my body doesn't feel the pain from the explosion from last night. In fact, I feel better than ever!

With every morning, Jaune checks himself in the mirror to see if he had any permanent damage from last night's fight only to see no visible scars. This wasn't a surprise to him. Like all criminals they hold more than just bats and pipes. Knives and guns are things that he's all too familiar with. Before he could understand his spider sense he'd once been stabbed by a thief that got the drop on him, and later on he got shot from a robber when he pushed a security guard out of harms way.

Many were worried and upset to hear Jaune got shot and stabbed at some point, though they were surprised that he not only survived but also didn't have any scars.

"Are we sure the kid doesn't have aura?" asked Qrow.

That was a hurdle that made him wonder if he should quit while he was still ahead of his hero career. But whenever he trudged to his bed, clutching his severe wounds that would kill any normal man, he'd go to sleep and wake the next morning, his body good as new. As if he never got injured in the first place.

Super healing. Comes in handy when I don't want to go to the hospital as Spider-Man, or deal with a huge medical bill. It's just seems so unreal for me to see that I'm able to heal from a wound like yesterday.

"Ok this is really unfair!" shouted Roman, "He has all these powers that normal huntsmen couldn't even dream of having, and to top it all of he can heals wounds not even aura can fix?!" Roman was glad he didn't have to worry about anything like this in his world.

"I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I agree with Roman. It is pretty crazy all the amazing things Jaune can do in this world." said Blake.

"Yeah it's super amazing!" cheered Ruby. She was loving the idea of Jaune as this super awesome hero.

"It must have something to do with his increased metabolism. Remember when he spoke of it in the last viewing, it may have something to do with it." said Ren. A few of the others felt like that was as good an explanation as any.

"Very astute of you Mr. Lie." complemented Ozpin.

"I wonder if such a thing could possibly be replicated?" murmured Watts.

"What are you planning?" asked Hazel.

"Oh nothing you need to worry about Hazel." answered Watts. Watts thinks he may have thought of what his one question would be. Meanwhile Ironwood was wondering the same thing.

"We may want to keep an eye on him." said Qrow to Ozpin while gesturing to Watts

With the teen now ready for the day he made it to the kitchen and ate his meal next to his Aunt, as if nothing was out of the ordinary.

Last night I should've been in intensive care, or dead. But here I am, eating breakfast, getting ready for school, and my body feels a million lien!

"What were they doing to that spider for its bite to turn Jaune into this?" asked Weiss. She was a little skeptical on how a genetically altered spider could give someone these powers. Ironwood was wondering the same thing and also how he could do it himself.

The moonlight superhero started to pound his chest when his breakfast started blocking his wind pipe. Aunt May stood up from her chair and looked at the choking boy in surprise.

"Stopping criminals one moment, choking on his breakfast the next. Our hero ladies and gentlemen." deadpanned Cardin. This earned some popcorn thrown at his head.

"Jaune! Are you ok?" She walked over to him and started to pat his chest.

"I'm fine, Aunt May." The glass of water helped flush the blockage down. "Just remembered that I need to hand in my pictures soon."

"Oh, you mean the Bugle?" Seeing that he was fine now she walked back to her seat to finish her breakfast. "They must really need those photos of that spider guy. But, then again, I'm sure they're more concerned with what happened last night."

Aunt May reached for the remote at the edge of the table and turned the volume of the TV higher to listen to last night's theft. The screen showed the same woman with burned and ruined buildings behind her. The police were off to the side putting up yellow tape to secure the crime scene.

"What you see behind me is the latest, and might I add, disastrous act of crime led by the escaped crime boss, Roman Torchwick. Some people are asking, 'how much more violence will he commit just to steal dust from our community?'"

"Until I no longer have the threat of incineration over my head." said Roman. This caused Cici to once again apologize.

"Wow she says sorry just as much as you Pyrrha." said Nora.

"I'm sorry." said Pyrrha. This got a chuckle from a few people in the audience.

"It scares me to think how people will go to such lengths to do these things. I wonder how long it'll be before he's back behind bars." Aunt May said making Jaune sink lower in his seat.

I could've stopped him. I had stopped him, but then that weird silent chick came out of nowhere and helped him escape.

"With so much damage caused by the escaped convict many concerned citizens wonder where was Spider-Man to stop him. With me now is Bugle's editor-in-chief..."

Oh no... anyone but him.

"I have a bad feeling about this." said Tai.

"Yeah this can only end well." said a sarcastic Qrow.

"Mr. Jameson." Shifting the camera, a middle age man appeared wearing a mean look, as if everything around him pissed him off. With who was involved in this crime it seemed to make him all the angrier on the TV. "Mr. Jameson, what are your thoughts on why Spider-Man couldn't stop Roman's latest crime?"

"Wasn't in the last viewing it showed that this guy is Jaune's biggest critic?" asked Ruby.

"I think it did, so I can only expect low opinions from him." said Weiss.

"Well who knows, maybe he might say something good?" said a hopeful Summer.

"He has a really weird mustache." said Nora.

Raising his fist to his face. J. Jonah Jameson cleared his throat before speaking to the mic.

"The answer is really simple, miss."

Here it comes.

"IT'S BECAUSE SPIDER-MAN IS WORKING WITH ROMAN TORCHWICK!" As soon as that sentence left his mouth, Jaune sank his head in his hands and shook it at his boss's insane theories about him. "SPIDER-MAN IS NOTHING BUT A BAD EXAMPLE FOR THE YOUNG GENERATION, AND WITN WHAT HAPPENED HERE IT'S PLAIN AS DAY THAT SPIDER-MAN LET THIS HAPPEN 'CAUSE HE'S WORKING WITH MR. TORHWICK!"

"You were saying Ms. Rose?" asked Willow. This caused Summer to deflate, she then asked Willow to call her Summer since Ms. Rose makes her sound old.

"He is really loud and angry, and extremely biased." said Kali.

"It would seem that way dear." replied Ghira.

He almost blew me up! I'm pretty sure I deserve a bit of a break from what happened to me.

"What about the several other crime related incidents that were stopped by him, as well as all the pictures of the web slinger preforming heroic deeds on your news site?"

"Yeah that is a good point there. How to you explain that huh?" asked Yang.

"I'm afraid to say it, but I think he will say something to undermine it." said Ren

"It was all just an act! He was trying to let everyone trust him! Then, as soon as he had the public's trust, he showed his true colors!" J.J kept ranting while a thick vein started to show on his forehead. "Let the authorities handle the crime, and let the real heroes, the Huntsmen, put the bug in his place!" Seeing that he was going to keep spouting more nonsense, Jaune took the remote and turned it off.

"He does not have any proof to this assessment and yet he continues to rant about it, I thought those who work in news were supposed to be unbiased and look for all the facts before giving information?" said Penny.

"While I am not fond of the idea of a vigilante, I have to agree that he is way to biased in his opinion." said Ironwood.

"Oh hi pot names kettle have we met?" said Qrow. This earned a glare from Ironwood.

"Oh if I ever meet this man I will give him a piece of my mind for talking about my son like that." growled Juniper.

"Thanks for the breakfast, Aunt May. I'm gonna go wait for the bus now." Grumbling incoherent words about the news Jaune placed his plate in the sink. He was ready to walk out the door when his Aunt stopped him.

"Remember that you're working at the diner today. My friend who's the manager needs an extra set of hands." Aunt May then gave him a kiss on the cheek and saw him off to the bus stop.

"Seriously how many jobs does Arc have?!" asked Coco.

"I'm surprised the poor boy hasn't collapsed from exhaustion. He has to balance several jobs and being a superhero as well, I doubt it is easy." said Ghira.

"He is certainly determined that's for sure." said Raven.

"Thanks, Aunt May." Jaune said waving at her as he turned a corner, cutting off his view of her.

With the sight of her gone Jaune dropped his arm to his side and looked down at his feet until he reached his bus stop. His thoughts now occupied with working at Aunt May's local diner. Her friend was the manager of the restaurant, so with some help she landed him a part time job as a waiter whenever her friend needed extra help and if Jaune needed more work.

"Well that was certainly nice of her. I'm grateful she has been taking such good care of my baby." said Juniper.

"Yes I just wish it were under better circumstances for him." said Winter.

Hopefully I can get some good tips, so I could save up for a new camera. I already know it's gonna make a huge dent in my wallet, but it'll be worth it.

"Now I need to find out Roman's location." The school bus stopped in front of him and opened its doors. He entered and placed himself in the middle section of the bus with most of the louder students behind him. "Fat chance any of that's gonna happen. It's not like a lead's gonna land in my lap any time soon."

"Here you go, Mrs. Jordon. Hope you enjoy yourself." Jaune told the elderly woman while giving her order with a friendly smile.

"Thank you, Jaune." Mrs. Jordan, a bunny faunus, said as she looked at her husband who was reading the newspaper. "Can you just put the paper down for just five seconds and eat your food before its gets cold?"

"Humph." Mr. Jordon, her human husband, hummed as he flipped another page.

"It's nice to see some faunus and humans form romantic bonds." said Ghira.

"Yes dear it certainly is." agreed Kali. Blake agreed with her parents on that, it gave her hope for a better future between humans and faunus.

The Jordon's were one of the many regulars who visit this establishment often. This place held many people throughout the years, making it very popular and well known in the kingdom. People who just got out of school tend to go here to hang out or study. While adults who just got off work, or on their lunch break, come here to enjoy themselves. And if by some rare chance a Huntsman also comes around out of curiosity.

With so many people eating here, and with the good reviews they give, it was a great place to work and get a steady number of tips. And for the young hero, he thrived on tips whenever he needed the lien, and with what happened last night he need to make a good amount to cover for his losses.

"I wonder how expensive that camera was if it's going to hurt his wallet that much?" asked Terra.

"Must be something really important Mr. Jordan's reading." The part timer looked over his shoulder to see if any other costumer needed him. "Does it involve what happened with that big explosion?"

With what went down last night with the criminals stealing more dust and Spider-Man not able to stop them, news traveled like wild fire, making people speculate what happened. Already Jaune heard small rumors between tables about how he was actually working for Roman, or he was the leader the entire time. But, like all things involving his hero alter-ego, they wonder who Spider-Man was under that mask.

"Seriously the one time he cant stop a crime and people start wondering if he's a bad guy or not, I mean he's only human he can't do everything." said Yang.

"People tend to forget things like that I'm afraid, especially when it comes to huntsmen. Though it doesn't help that the counsel tries to hide that fact by only giving news of victories for huntsmen." said Ozpin.

"You know how the news is, especially if it involves that Spider fellow." Mrs. Jordon took a sip from her cup to clear her throat. She was going to talk again when her husband finally set his newspaper down.

"Can't believe most people even believe in this man's dribble."

"What do you mean, Mr. Jordon?"

"All these people buying in to this," Mr. Jordon placed his wrinkled calloused hand on the paper and pointed at a picture of Spider-Man mid web swing and saving someone falling off a building. "The man does good every day, and the one time a crime happens without him doing anything, the people start to question him." The old man shook his head and spoke again. "I've met him before, he's alright in my book."

"Wait he met him before, when did this happen?" asked Cici while playing with Adrian.

"Can we please stop playing with this thing?" asked Cindy.

"Now Cindy, there's no need to be like that." said Cici. Cindy just grumbled in response.

"Oh dear, not that again." Mrs. Jordon shook her head. She's heard the same thing every time it involved the masked hero. "You keep telling that same story every time."

"Because he's the real hero in this damn kingdom! The guy's doing something to clean these streets and what do the rest of the kingdom do? Just sit on their hands, waiting until the problem comes to them rather than the other way around."

"Yes sometimes the Council won't act until it becomes their problem I'm afraid." groaned Ozpin.

"Yes if you ask me things may have been better if the King of Vale's lineage stayed in charge." said Oobleck.

"I know he saved you when you almost got run over by a car. You even invited him for dinner, which I make a fantastic baked carrot cake by the way." Mrs. Jordon told their waiter making the boy chuckle.

Velvet drooled a bit at the mention of carrot cake, she then remembered the recipe to make her own and couldn't wait to try it.

Jaune knows she makes the best dessert. After he saved her husband the elderly man insisted on inviting him to dinner as a sign of thanks. Most of the people Jaune saved as Spider-Man always thanked him, making it kind of nice to hear praise from them, even if it wasn't directly to him.

The Arc's were proud to know how much people appreciate Jaune for what he is doing.

"Aw thats so nice of them." said Ruby.

"He deserves the damn key to the kingdom! Going out day in and day out, risking his life to protect the people of this kingdom." Soon, more and more people started to glance at the table, making Jaune nervous with the growing attention.

OK, Spider-Man can deal with the attention, but not Jaune Arc. Time to switch the subject.

A few people chuckled at this though a few (I.E Velvet and Ruby) felt they could relate to that.

"I suppose the mask gives him some confidence." said Goodwitch.

"Well when no one knows it's you its kinda hard to feel like your humiliating yourself." said Tai.

"I don't know. Pretty sure Huntsmen can do the same thing he does. The only reason not many show up is because they have to go beyond the kingdom to protect villages from Grimm." Most of the ease droppers agreed and went back to their food. With the attention diverted, the young teen to breathe a sigh of relief.

"They can't hold a candle compared to what he does. In fact, when he stopped that car from hitting me I noticed something that can prove he's not a huntsman." The attention was back on the small table. Several of the ease droppers gave up on trying to be subtle and focused in on the story.

"I don't understand." Jaune said, his anxiety growing. "He must be a Huntsman if he's able to do the amazing things he does."

"True, but he has one thing that makes him special above all Huntsmen." The waiter was curious by what the man meant, forgetting the customers trying to ease drop.

A few were curious with where the man is going with this.

"Dear, you're making a scene. I told you before, it was a trick of the light. You were delusional." His wife tried to reason with him.

"Don't try and make me sound insane, Maria! I know what I saw and what I saw proves that he ain't no ordinary person." Taking a drink to calm his nerves, Mr. Jordon continued his story. "He saved my life. I'll always thank him for that, but when he turned his back on me to check the driver I noticed something wrong with his costume. It had a tear showing a fresh wound from when the car hit him."

Jaune held his breath as the story took a turn. Cuts that were inflicted on him did leave a sting, though it never really stopped him. He assumed that must be a huge difference when compared to trained Huntsmen, making him even more interested in the story.

"Now the wound wasn't that deep, so it should've closed up. But it didn't, which means all this time Spider-Man has been doing such amazing feats throughout the kingdom with no aura protecting him." Many people start to discuss amongst each other over the credibility of the news. The one that was most curious was the Superhero himself.

Many who didn't know Jaune's secret were surprised at this, this meant that Jaune went to a huntsman academy with his aura locked.

"Wait so the kid was trying to enroll into Beacon without his aura?!" asked Tau.

"I got to say that takes guts." said Qrow.

"And this version of him was able to take a dust explosion without it?! Seriously this is just cheap." grumbled Roman.

"What's aura?"

"He comes from a family of huntsmen and yet he doesn't know what aura is?" asked Raven.

"We… may have not told him, we didn't think he would somehow get into a huntsman academy." said a guilty Nicholas.

Mrs. Jordon answered him in a quieter tone, so no one would hear them.

"Aura's what all Huntsmen use against the Grimm. It shields them from harm and even heals small wounds. It also enables them to use their Semblance, an ability specifically used by them."

"Sounds really useful." Jaune looked to her now empty plate and picked it up.

"It is, but it isn't all powerful. In time aura can be depleted from either constant use or heavy damage. They can't heal major injuries like gunshot wounds or attacks from a large Grimm-"

"Or a large explosion." Jaune said automatically.

"Yes! Though even if aura takes most of the damage, it can still leave Huntsmen very weak, and if they run out of aura then they fall unconscious, leaving them entirely vulnerable. That's why many people wonder if he was a Huntsman under his costume, but to say that someone can do the same things Huntsman do without aura is something most people never thought would be possible."

"That's why Spider-Man's a cut above the rest! He doesn't need aura to do any of that." Her husband added.

"That just makes him even more awesome!" shouted Nora.

"Yeah!" agreed Ruby.

"If he's not a Huntsman, then what is he?" A random customer's question soon begins another.

"He's probably some kinda monster?"

"Is he part Grimm?"

"What if he's not from this world?

Man, these people really have an overactive imagination about me.

"To be fair getting powers by being bitten by a spider is pretty out there." said Neptune.

Just when the diner started to get rowdy the manager came out of her office. Her face was red with tick marks on her forehead, shouting loud enough for everyone to hear.

"He's none of our business, so all of you shut it!" The manager's outburst caused everyone to return to their food. The diner quickly went back to normal leaving Jaune stunned with how fast it ended.

Wow, I didn't know the difference between me and Huntsman was that serious. Kind of makes me wonder what it'd be like if I had aura instead of my spider-powers.

Those of Jaune's friends chuckled a little at that since they knew the answer to that.

Jaune's thoughts were immediately cut off when his boss called his name. He got back to high gear and returned to work.

"Hope you guys have a nice day." Saying his good bye Jaune rushed to his boss. Her scowl still on her face made Jaune nervous about what she was mad about.

"Yes, Ms. Charles?" Jaune asked placing the used dishes in the diner sink and washing his hands clean.

Ms. Charles was never a happy person whenever she was at work. She's usually a very sweet and friendly woman when she hangs around Aunt May at home, so it was always weird seeing the change in personality between home and work.

"Kinda like how dad is all serious and professional when teaching, but when he's home he's a huge dork." said Yang.

"Hey!" said Tai in protest.

"She isn't wrong Tai." added Qrow arning a grumble from Tai and a chuckle from Summer. Raven even remembers how much of a dork Tai was.

"I need you to be a waiter for four customers. They're at the front, so get to it."

"Yes, ma'am." Jaune nodded to Ms. Charles and walked to the front to guide the small group to their table. As soon as he reached the front Jaune grabbed four menus next to the cashier and was about to greet them when he heard a familiar voice call out his name.

"Jaune?" Ruby's voice caused the waiter to turn his head to see she was right behind him. Standing with her were three other girls looking at the young girl curiously for addressing the boy so easily. Especially when it was someone of the opposite sex.

"Yay, team RWBY makes an appearance!" cheered Ruby.

"Settle down you dolt! We appeared earlier in this universe." scolded Weiss.

"Ruby? Fancy seeing you here." He said chuckling with the surprise visit.

"I thought you worked at that Dust shop?"

"No, no, I also work here whenever they need extra help." He explained.

"Wow, must be really exhausting to have two jobs."

"I make sure I balance the two while going to school."

"You do two jobs AND go to school!?" She said in shock.

"Not to mention working for the newspaper and being a superhero. Seriously I know Arc is a hard worker but is ours able to to all the stuff this one can?" asked Coco.

"I don't think I could handle all that." said Velvet.

"My feet hurt just thinking about it and their made of medal." said Mercury.

"Yeah. Hold on for a moment." Jaune spotted a vacant table and returned to the group of four. "Let me get you a table so you don't have to stand around." Jaune motioned her to follow him.

"Thank you." Ruby nodded in gratitude. She followed behind him, leaving her team in a stupor over what was going on. Ruby's older sister finally snapped out of it and spoke what the rest of her friends were thinking.

"What just happened?"

"And then I was falling out of the sky while trying to fight a Nevermore all on my own." Ruby told her only audience, making sound effects to make it more dramatic.

"No way!" Jaune said his excitement about Ruby's story of initiation. Ruby seemed a bit happy that her story wasn't as boring as she thought.

"Then my partner, Weiss, saved me in the nick of time." Ruby moved her hand to point out the huntress-in-training dressed in all white sipping water through a straw. Her bored expression burning a hole in Ruby's head for telling what happened nearly 2 months ago.

"So, my partner, my older sister Yang, her partner Blake, and I, took down the Nevermore. We passed the initiation and the Headmaster announced our team with me as the leader." Ruby said to him with her chest puffed out in pride for her accomplishment.

"Man your initiation sounds a lot more exciting than ours was." said Coco.

"Yeah I'm jealous that didn't happen for us." said Cardin. He couldn't believe he missed all that even though they were taking the same test.

Jaune heard stories about how Huntsmen fight Grimm. His family always told him how they fought Grimm whenever they show up close to a village. This was the first time he heard someone else tell him how they defeated a Grimm that wasn't part of his family, so when she told him her story he was on the edge of his seat with the big pay off when she told him she dealt the finishing blow, making him see her in a new light.

"Wow, Ruby. I knew you were special when we first met, but after you told me that story I can honestly say you're not special-" Ruby's eye grew wide from what he told her, showing a brief flash of hurt. "You're amazing." How he said that to her with such earnest and awe made the young girl's cheeks glow red and her body uncontrollably hot. She drank her entire glass of water to cool her off.

Ruby was blushing just as much as her counterpart and was the same color as her namesake.

"Aw thats so cute sis, somebody's in love~" teased Yang while hugging Ruby.

"Please stop!" complained Ruby.

"I think it's sweet that my little rose is in love." said a smiling Summer.

"I-I mean, I'm not that amazing. My teammates are pretty cool too, right girls?" She tried to direct most of his attention away from herself at to the rest of her group.

"What, we can finally talk now?" Ruby's partner finally snaps out of her boredom to join their conversation. "You two kept talking for so long he didn't ask us what we wanted to order." The girl in white's comment caused the waiter to go red from embarrassment for paying attention to Ruby instead of doing his job.

"S-sorry ma'am," Jaune quickly grabbed his pen and notepad to write down their order. "What would you like to order?"

"A chicken salad." Weiss then went back to drinking her water.

"Chicken with a side of fries." Ruby's older sister told him as she placed her menu down on the table.

"I saw baked salmon on the menu a few moments ago." Yang's partner still had her eyes on the menu, trying to find her order.

"Seriously kitty, how did we not figure it out before." asked Yang to her partner. This just caused Blake to blush from embarrassment and feel like she was lucky it fooled anyone.

"Turkey sandwich please!" Ruby's flipped a page of her menu as she looked back at Jaune. "And I'll have a cookies and cream sundae for dessert."

"Baked salmon, please." The long black-haired girl said as she gave him her menu.

"You know it is also pretty obvious if you pay close enough attention to her bow since it twitched every so often." said Wolf.

"I get it, it's a miracle I wasn't figured out sooner." whined Blake. Kali just giggled at her daughters misfortune.

Writing down all their orders, Jaune placed their menus under his arm and nodded to them. "Thank you. I'll be sure to give this to the chef, I'll be back to get your refills."

Taking his leave from the group, the girls started to converse with each other about what was to come to Beacon. Soon, their talks shifted to their school year. But the main topic was the boy Ruby was so comfortable with.

"W-what? Since when did we start talking about Jaune?" Ruby's older sister was wearing a big grin from seeing her baby sister talk to a boy for longer than a minute.

"Come on, sis. We've been sitting here for over five minutes to give our order to the guy, and, yet, you had him all to yourself." Yang only laughed when her sister started to ramble on about her relationship between him and her sister.

"Yang!" groaned Ruby.

"Come on Ruby, it's my job as an older sister to tease you when you like a boy." said Yang.

"I got to say Yang I'm actually surprised your taking the whole, 'Ruby has a crush', thing so well." said Wolf.

"Honestly I'm just happy she has a crush on something other than a weapon." replied the blonde brawler.

"Hey!" said an offended Ruby.

"Sorry sis, but with how things were before Beacon I was afraid that one day you would marry Crescent Rose." countered Yang.

"Are you kidding Yang? She's my baby that would be incest." defended Ruby.

"Whatever you say sis." said Yang.

"Well Yang some of your counter parts aren't as understanding as you are." said Wolf.

"What are you talking about?" asked Yang.

"Well in some universes you tell Ruby she isn't allowed to date till she is thirty, and in some of those universe when she likes Jaune you want to either kill him, or beat the stuffing out of him since those versions of you consider Ruby having a crush on him is the same as him defiling her." explained Wolf.

"Seriously? That sounds a little over protective. I mean sure I would beat the crap out of him if he broke Ruby's heart, but this is Jaune were talking about so I shouldn't worry." said Yang. Wolf was glad to hear that this is one of the more sensible Yang's.

"I told you guys before! He works at the Dust shop where I was checking a new weapons magazine. I haven't seen him after that, so it was a surprise when I saw him here. I just wanted him to know what happened at Beacon."

"You mean the same story about when you encountered Spider-Man?" Blake's interest soon piqued after the young teen told them her tale again. "Did you see him after they arrested the culprits?"

"No, Jaune went to the police station to get help, so I didn't get to talk to him after that." Ruby's explain made her feel a bit bad that she didn't go check up on him after that terrible ordeal with the robbery.

"Hmm." Blake stared down at the table after she heard what happened.

"Oh careful kitty, you know what they say about a curious cat~.?" teased Yang. Blake just rolled her eyes at Yangs antics

"Ugh! How come when we talk about anything for just a few minutes, it always goes back to that guy?" Weiss crossed her arms over her chest, now annoyed that her team started talking about that masked weirdo.

"Come on, Weiss. You gotta admit that thanks to that guy, this kingdom got even more interesting."

Weiss had to begrudgingly agree to Yang's argument about how popular this so-called hero became in Vale so quickly. It should be impossible to have someone who dresses up in a costume do what normal law enforcement and Huntsmen do for a living and not get caught was a surprise to her. They already should've put some form of warrant for his arrest, or even have the kingdom send Huntsmen to put this mystery man behind bars.

"Jeez Weiss-cream you need to chill out more or you'll melt." punned Yang. A collective groan filled the theater room.

"Yang can you please not for once!" growled Weiss. "Also if I had to guess I'd say my counterpart is probably concerned with how this could affect things.

What's even more of a shock was that people started to accept that this guy is swinging around over their heads doing whatever he pleases. They should all be in an uproar that some stranger's going around, hiding behind a mask, and taking the law into his own hands. Instead they treat him like he's the only one doing anything right in this kingdom. Like Huntsman and Huntresses aren't doing their jobs.

People hate the White Fang for doing such terrible acts of terror while hiding their faces, but when this guy shows up committing his acts without proper authority and concealing his identity too then it would be plain obvious that he should be treated the same way.

It just doesn't make sense. We're supposed to be the ones the people should place their trust in, not Spider-Man. What makes him so different compared to the rest of us?

"He isn't asking for a reward for one, and seems to also help with small things to. Most huntsmen, when asked to get a cat out of a tree or help an old lady across the street, would just say they have something more important things to do, but this kid is actively helping with those sorts of things." answered Qrow.

"I can't believe I'm going to say this for a number of reasons, but Qrow is right." said Winter agreeing with her biological father. Weiss supposed that Qrow had a point.

The young heiress snapped out of her thoughts when she heard civilians nearby begin talking about the webbed menace.

"You think the police in Vale should help Spider-Man rather than arrest the guy."

"I actually saw him one time helping an elderly woman cross the street. You don't see that very often."

"Yeah. Some guy does good deeds throughout the kingdom, and the Council decides to not help him. What are they even thinking""

"See my point exactly, the kid is helping with the little things as well as the big. That may not seem like much but people with always appreciate the little things, maybe even more then the big." said Qrow.

"It's what reminds me that I made the right decision an allowing him to enroll." said Ozpin.

"I wish there were more huntsmen like him." said Glynda.

Shaking her head in annoyance, Weiss placed her focus back to her team poking fun at the still flustered leader. Ruby was still being teased by her older sister about how close she'd gotten with their waiter, Jaune. Blake was the only one not paying any attention, simply choosing to look at her scroll trying to find something interesting online.

"I keep telling you guys that he's just a friend and I'm just happy to see him here." The red-haired girl said while crossing her arms and pouting.

"Sure, sis. It's just really nice that you can talk to people for so long. Normally you're only interested in weapons, or if they were a Huntsmen." Yang stated the truth. She always worried that Ruby would be friendless with no experience with the opposite sex and when she grew older she'd live alone with her house full of weapons rather than cats.

Ruby just groaned at this, "Why must you be like this?"

"Ah come on sis don't be like that~." said Yang with a huge grin.

Still, he's pretty plain looking. Suppose I'm just glad that she's finally coming out of her shell and gaining more friends.

"Either way, I'm proud of you, sis." Placing her sister under her arm Yang ruffled her hair as the little girl struggled under Yang's vice like grip.

Weiss could barely contain her boredom from seeing her team's conversation about boys. Add in the constant talking about Spider-Man made the young heiress grind her teeth together out of frustration.

"Can you please stop that! I can practically hear you from across the table." The quiet member of their team said.

"Sorry, it's just- how come every time we go out we always hear people keep talking about that silly superhero." The young heiress told her teammate.

Blake looked at Weiss still holding her scowl on her face making the dark-haired girl put her scroll back in her pocket and focus her attention on what the Schnee was ranting on about.

"They're just talking about something new. I'm sure it'll pass, and they will lose interest." Blake told her, but after what news she found on her Scroll, it won't be for several more months. "Apparently, people are now believing that he's working with Roman Torchwick." The quite book reader told her, causing Weiss to stare at her with surprise at the sudden news.

Placing a well-manicured hand under her chin, Weiss tried to remember if she saw this on the news this morning. "I think I remember that, but I really couldn't believe that since that blow hart of a man kept screaming on the television. Even If I know that Spider-Man is setting a bad example wearing a mask, I do believe he has some morals to him."

"Well glad to hear you draw the line somewhere Ice-queen." said Yang. Weiss grumbled at that ridiculous name.

Blake would have commented on that last remark, only nodded in agreement on who Mr. Jameson was.

I doubt a Faunus would stoop so low to work with a man like Torchwick, especially a man such as Spider-Man. He seems too nice to ever think about doing any crimes.

"I agree, no self respecting faunus would work with a known criminal." said Sienna with venom in her voice while looking at Adam. Said bull faunus snarled at Sienna.

"Well excuse me." said Roman.

"And I kind of agree with Blake, he does seem pretty nice." surprisingly it was Ilia who said this, though a little hesitant. She had to admit that from what she had seen, Jaune had been a pretty nice guy.

Just like Weiss, Blake was also wondering how this kingdom became so interested about the wall crawler. The White Fang, before it became under Adam's control, was a peaceful, nonviolent, organization that tried to give the Faunus equality throughout all of Remnant, but it all fell on deaf ears.

Then along came this masked stranger staying in Vale, web swinging over people's heads, stopping accidents, petty crimes, and being friendly to strangers. It made him an instant favorite to the people. Because of his good acts and positive attitude, people in Vale seemed more upbeat, even showing some semblance of peace between the Humans and Faunus.

"See Sienna, there is always a better way to achieve our goal of equality." said Ghira. Sienna would be lying if she said Ghira wasn't right, seeing how this version of Jaune was doing things and how it helped human faunus relations, it made her wonder if she should change things.

It became even more apparent to her when she started to hear rumors that more and more of the Faunus community are being treated fairly, even going to the extent that some are going against the current White Fang with many of its members leaving.

"Those damned traitors." snarled Adam.

"No Adam, they are just realizing that there is a better way to do things." countered Blake. She wasn't going let her fear of Adam control her, she has seen what running away had gotten her from the vision Wolf showed them.

It made Blake feel a sense of warmth to see that the Faunus are finally getting heard and being treated better in Vale. But, at the same time, worried that the White Fang are losing members because of Spider-Man and his selfless acts.

Did I make the wrong choice again? Should I have followed Spider-Man's example and do what he does, wear another mask and fight against crime?

Soon Blake had an image of her wearing a skin tight black costume posing on top of a tall structure under the broken moon light with Spider-Man crouching next to her, scanning the streets for crime.

Blake blushed when that image showed up on screen and was followed by her having a nosebleed.

"Oh my Blake that's so romantic, a little superhero couple~." giggled Kali. This caused Blake to blush in embarrassment. Meanwhile Sun and Adam glared at the screen, one with jealousy and the other in rage.(you decide which is which.)

The image was soon beaten, battered, and shoved in a corner of her mind. Blake instantly grabbed her glass of water to cool herself down then slammed her cup, causing the rest of her teams to jump in surprise.

Blake had a cup of water show up and she did the same thing to cool off.

"Well someone sure is thirsty, in more ways than one eh kitty-cat~?" teased Yang while she wiggling her eyebrows.

"Yang if you don't shut up I will claw your eyes out." growled Blake. Yang just put her hands up but had a smile on her face. Kali just giggled at the exchange going between Blake and her friend.

"Dang, partner. I was just teasing her about Jaune." Yang's eyebrow shot up at her partner's abrupt movement. "What, you also want a piece of tall, blond, and normal?"

"No." She abruptly said. "I was just wondering when he'll be back with our food."

"Well wait no longer!" Their waiter finally arrived holding a pitcher of water in one hand and a large platter in his other. Pouring each glass on the table, Jaune placed the pitcher on an empty table and passed each plate of food on the table and received multiple expressions of gratitude in return.

"Please tell me if you need anything else, guys. I need to help a family get a booth. Enjoy your food." Waving good bye, the boy walked away as Ruby bid him good bye. In turn, Yang gave the young girl a exaggerated kissy face.

Yang just laughed at how both Ruby's were embarrassed at what her counterpart was doing.

"Not funny, Yang." said Ruby.

"Not funny, Yang." Balling up her straw wrapper she threw it at the mocking girl and laughed when it ended caught in her hair, leaving the blonde Huntress to fish it out of her golden lockers.

Ruby blushed at the fact that she and the other her said the same thing while Yang laughed at that, though she stopped laughing when she saw the straw rapper get in her hair.

"Darn It! That's the fifth thing stuck in my hair today." She said while shoving her entire hand in her blond mane to get the piece of trash out of her hair.

"That's what happens when you have so much of it Yang." said Weiss.

"I don't care what you say Ice-queen, there is nothing in the world you can say to get me to cut it." said Yang. Raven felt the same way about her hair, Yang got it from somewhere after all.

As the team enjoyed their meal the group soon started to stack their empty plates at the center, now waiting for Jaune to come back when he was done helping someone else get their order.

"With some food now in our stomachs, I think it's about time we discuss the upcoming event." Weiss told the rest of her team.

"What event?" Ruby asked her.

"She's talking about the Vytal Festival. The tournament between the different Huntsman schools of the kingdoms." Yang said to her sister while using a toothpick to remove some food from her teeth.

"That's correct." Weiss voiced shrieked. "Soon we'll be able to observe how the other kingdoms teach their students to be professional Huntsmen."

"You mean spy on them and learn how they fight. Pretty sure that would be cheating." The white themed huntress-in-training sputtered at Blake's bluntness.

"It is not spying or cheating!" Weiss shouted to her team.

"That's right it's strategy." said Weiss.

"Sure it is Ice-queen." said Coco.

"Ugh this is so boring. Can't we see something exciting already." complained Tyrian.

"Calm down Tyrian, not everything has to be full of violence." said Hazel.

"That's what you think, you just can't appreciate the beauty in the carnage." said Tyrian.

"Enough Tyrian!" snapped Salem to which the scorpion faunus kept quiet.

"Who's cheating?"

The four girls froze when their waiter walked in on their discussion, a look of curiosity evident on his face.

"I just finished giving orders to the chef, so I came back to take you plates." Taking the dishes away from the girls, Jaune pulled out their receipts gave it to them. "You can pay at the front when you're ready. Now, what did I hear about cheating?"

"Weiss was planning to spy on other students for the Vytal Festival when they get here." Ruby told him.

"Observing! Not Spying!" Weiss said to them as if they don't have the same meaning.

"It's definitely spying." said Qrow.

"It's observing!" protested Weiss.

"What's the Vytal festival?" Asked the blonde boy.

"First he doesn't know who Pyrrha is and now he has never heard of the Vytal festival?" asked Weiss.

"Jaune has never really been into sports of any kind." said Saprhon.

"It's when all the four kingdoms show that the next generation of Huntsmen will be their new defenders and repel threats such as the Grimm back to where they came from." Weiss told him in a way that sounded more like a commercial add then actually speaking to him normally.

"I never heard about it actually. I'm too busy with work and school." He said as he scratched his head in embarrassment.

Plus being a part time crime fighter and trying to stay alive on top of that.

"That must take a lot out of you." Yang told him with the nodded to him as a sign of respect. She knows how hard it is to take so much work, especially when you have to take care of younger siblings. Her situation may not be the same to his, but she can respect how he takes his responsibilities more serious than most boys do who care about their masculinity and trying to get her attention.

"One of the many reasons I like Vom- I mean Jaune." corrected Yang. She always appreciated how Jaune treated her with respect and not as some dumb bimbo.

"It does, but I'm just glad to help my Aunt." Another voice called out his name from nearby. "Well girls, I hope you'll visit again. I'll be back here tomorrow after school, so I hope to see again."

"Thank you, Jaune. See ya later." Ruby told him as she left her seat to pay for her food.

"Yeah, Ladies man, we'll see you later~" Yang winked at him, causing the tall blond to blush and Ruby to pout at her older sister.

"Yang can you not?!" shouted Ruby causing Yang to give a loud laugh.

With the four gone Jaune went back to work and started to wipe any food that was left on the table and take the dishes back to the kitchen for cleaning. Lugging the plates near the sink Jaune started to scrub them clean.

"I see you were done talking to your girlfriends, Jaune." An old man with bull horns said while chopping carrots for a stew he was making.

"They aren't my girlfriends, Mr. Pesto." Jaune told him while drying one plate and placing it on the drying rack.

I'm not even sure that could be possible. They're all Huntresses-in-training. They're all out of my league, especially the one with the pony tail.

Weiss and Ruby blushed at the compliment Jaune gave them.

"Aw thanks Lady-killer~." teased Yang and laughed while Blake just rolled her eyes and smiled.

Jaune let out a sigh of defeat knowing that even normal girls at school never give him the time of day, so he highly doubts that Ruby and her friends would do the same.

"Boy are you in for a surprise Arc." said Coco when looking at the five girls that like the dork.

"You're doing that thing again where you feel sorry for yourself." The young boy shakes his head, so he can focus on cleaning dishes. "And you're wrong too. That girl with the red hair seemed nice. I'm sure if you could ask her on a date she'd say yes. All you need is confidence, Jaune."

Ruby didn't say anything but she totally would say yes if Jaune asked, and Yang judging by her smug face could tell what Ruby was thinking and so she hid in her hood.

"Yeah. Confidence. Now you sound like my father." Jaune wiped his hands clean as he finished the dishes. "Ruby's just a friend, all of them are actually. And if they do decide to get a boyfriend I'm sure they'll date a Huntsman who can do things they do.

"I don't think that works, Jaune." Mr. Pesto placed chopped carrots into a steaming pot and looked back at the disheartened boy. "The heart wants what the heart wants. Just because they're Huntresses doesn't mean they want a boyfriend who's the same."

Yeah, I can understand that. Then again, I'm a hero with spider powers, so I'm pretty sure finding a girl with the same dilemma is as slim as me winning the lottery.

"Yeah that seems like you'd be looking for quite a while." said Coco.

"All I'm saying is that you should ask before it's too late." giving his last piece of advice, Mr. Pesto grabbed more vegetables and started chopping again, leaving Jaune to his thoughts.

Looking to the kitchen clock, he saw that he only had a few more hours before his shift ends, reminding him that after work was done he'd have to make sure to get some rest before patrolling the Kingdom to see if his hunch was right.

With his supposed 'death' now known, the criminal underworld will probably try and be more courageous or stupid. Which is a good chance for him to get a little pay back for what happened yesterday.

Out of nowhere, he heard a loud crash from behind him, followed by Mr. Pesto cursing up a storm.

"Jaune! Clean up!" The bull Faunus screamed as he stormed out of the kitchen to change his apron.

"Wow that was loud!" shouted Nora with a giggle. Ren just smiled and shook his head at his girlfriend.

"What happened in there?" asked Pyrrha.

"I don't know but it sound very messy." said Terra.

"Right away, sir." Jaune grabbed a mop and bucket from the supply closet. While filling the bucket he wondered if he should try and get a girlfriend. His thoughts go back to Ruby and her friends. His thoughts were cut short when the realization of what they did before they left caused him to bang his head on the broom handle.

I can't believe they didn't leave a tip.

The four girls blushed a bit, they couldn't believe they would forget that after Jaune was so nice to them.

"Sounds like something you'd do Yang." teased her father.

"Hey! I'll have you know that I don't usually make that mistake." defended Yang

Hours pass by while Jaune was waiting tables. As the sun was setting for the day the young hero said his good byes to his coworkers and began his walk home. He was already leaving out the back when he was stopped by Mr. Pesto.

"Jaune, I need to ask you something important."

"Yes, Mr. Pesto?"

"Do you remember my nephew? He goes to the same school you go to. His name's Denny. I got a phone call from my sister telling me he hasn't been home lately, and she was starting to worry."

"Denny? I think I share an algebra class with him, but I didn't see him today." The teen told the older man causing Mr. Pesto to shake his head. "I'm sorry, Mr. Pesto. I know him from class, but I was never really close to him to know anymore."

"It's not your fault, Jaune. Lately he's been hanging around with other Faunus at school." The man's voice was starting to grow anxious.

"Isn't that a good thing? I mean, I lived in a village, so I don't see racism often, but he at least has friends. Maybe he was staying at their place?"

"Not this type of group, kid. Apparently, his mother told me he was being bullied, making him distant at home." The bull Faunus informed him.

"I think I know what kind of group this is." said Ilia. Blake had a feeling she knew as well.

How come the only bully I'm thinking of is Flash? Who am I kidding, of course it's probably him.

"And that group decided that Denny should join them."

"Ya. I'm sure you heard of the White Fang." Mr. Pesto's tone turned dark after he mentioned the radical terrorist group.

"So it was members of the White Fang, and guessing since this is in Vale I can only assume their part of your faction Taurus." said Sienna with a glare towards the bull faunus.

"The group that fights for Faunus equality?" When Jaune spoke of what the group did the older man lifted his head up and laughed.

"Fighting for our rights? They're just shedding blood. They don't know what the Faunus want anymore." Mr. Pesto's sounded bitter at the groups actions recently.

Sienna and Ghira felt heartbroken to once again hear a member of their own people say such a thing about the White Fang, while Adam clenched his teeth together and glared at the 'traitor'.

"A-are we really doing the right thing if even our own people see us as monsters lady Khan?" asked Ilia.

"I don't know anymore Ilia." sighed Sienna.

"The White Fang recruited him?" Jaune said gravely. "Have they always tried doing this in school?"

"No, they usually do it discreetly, but with how Spider-Man's been going around giving the Faunus a good rep, less and less were joining." Mr. Pesto explained.

"So, they must be getting even more active in trying to gain followers." The young spider placed both his hands on his head. He already had his plate full trying to track down the boss pulling the strings. Now, he has a missing person to find too.

Sienna wanted to condemn Adam for allowing someone so young into his ranks but she would be a hypocrite since she aloud faunus like Blake join her version of the Fang at a young age.

"I just wanted to know if you knew anything. Thank you for your time." Mr. Pesto turned away to go to his car when Jaune stopped the older man.

"I won't say that I understand how you feel right now, Mr. Pesto. But I will try to help as much as I can. I promise." Mr. Pesto seemed to believe the young spiders words. Usually, he doubted other people and their promises, but with Jaune it seemed that he was dead set on keeping that promise. Mr. Pesto grabbed Jaune's hand and gave it a shake.

"Thank you, Jaune." And with that, Mr. Pesto left him alone behind the diner. Jaune's fist clenched to his side with his mind now dead set on stopping whatever's happening to Vale.

I may not be able to do much, but I rather try and do something now before it's too late.

"A wise decision Mr. Arc. You don't want to put it off and wait for things to get worse." said Port.

"Yes it's decisions like that that have let to the deaths of many in the past." said Ozpin. The council had been known to do things like that in the past.

As he arrived back home, Jaune made sure to wait till Aunt May retired to bed before he left the house dressed in his spider costume and began his pursuit to locate Denny.

"Well that does seem like a good idea so she won't be worried about him being gone." said Pyrrha.

"Yeah he would probably have a hard time explaining to her why he was gone otherwise." added Velvet.

Shooting a web to the roof of a high five story apartment, Spider-Man launched himself high in the air and shot another web to nearby building, gaining momentum for the hero to start his web swinging.

"Ok, dust thefts, White Fang, Denny. All of these things must be connected. This can't be a coincidence for there to be this many." Web swinging higher in the air, Spider-Man shot a web line on to the side of a tall business building and pulled to take a sharp right turn.

Letting go of both of his web lines, Jaune did a back flip in the air, crossed his arms and shot two lines in front of him. He pulled his arms to his sides as he rocketed into the air for a bird's eye view. What Jaune could see below him was several roads with cars stuck in traffic, police cars near a few accidents, and over hundreds of people walking home or exploring the night life.

"Show off." said Mercury.

"Don't act like you wouldn't do that, you are the last person call someone a show off." said Emerald, earning a glare from Mercury, a giggle from Cici and a snicker from Cindy.

Ok, time for a close up.

Sky diving straight down, the web slinger was only a few feet from eating the pavement when he ejected a web line. He jerked to the right and started web swinging close to the streets.

"He has impeccable reaction time, is it because that spider-sense he has?" asked Willow. The god just nodded.

So weird. I'm web swinging and I don't feel like vomiting in my mask. I wish I could say the same whenever I need to use air transportation.

It was always weird to him that while he web swings he feels right as rain, but when Aunt May takes him somewhere that require a bullhead, he immediately empties his entire stomach. Apparently, spider powers can't help everything in Jaune's body, but he was glad that he has some way to enjoy flight. After all, a spider that web swings and gets sick while doing it doesn't sound that appealing.

"He has gotten better about his air sickness just not by much." said Ren.

"Yes well that runs in the family on my side I'm afraid." said Nicholas. Unfortunately a lot of Arc's suffer from motion sickness, even Nicholas and his father used to have it at Jaune's age.

Taking a sharp left to the shopping district, Spider-Man was planning to web higher, but the back of his skull started to tingle. Following his instinct to get closer to where it was triggering his spider sense he came across a quiet street with no one around. A Dust shop across the street from the building he landed on seemed to have suspicious movement inside making him assume it was Roman's boys doing their regular routine.

"Hello flies, said the spider. Denny would have to wait, I need to do some clean up." Jaune said to himself. "Time for a little shock and awe."

Yang chuckled at the fly comment while many just groaned.

"Finally some action, I was so bored." said Tyrian.

"Tyrian not everything has to be violent." deadpanned Watts.

Jumping off the roof, Jaune web lined to the Dust shop to land on its roof. Running to the back alley he jumped off and landed behind the store, surprising the crooks from his sudden entrance.

"Ok, fellas, you know the drill. Put away the Dust and I won't beat... you... much." Spider-Man was used to seeing the usual thugs with bowler hats, but with the help of his night vision he could see that these dark figures were wearing a black and white uniform with masks hiding their faces.

"Um, do you all have a certain dress code now? Or is this your casual Friday outfit?"

"It's the White Fang!" shouted Blake.

"And from how there dressed their Adam's faction." said Sienna. She couldn't believe Adam would have the Fang do simple robberies like they were common criminals.

The crooks started to get their bearings and soon began to circle the hero. Their guns pointed directly at him.

"Don't move." The thief in front of Spider-Man said. "I don't want to hurt one of our own."

"One of your own? Dude, I'm wearing red and blue." Jaune grabbed a fist full of fabric from his costume. "Unlike you guys I only have the one outfit. Can't really make another design on my measly hero pay check, now can I?"

Yang just laughed a bit at Jaune's comment.

"Why does he do that in this universe?" asked Willow.

"Well for several reasons. One is to hide how scared he is, another is to help with the stress, and the last one to annoy his opponents and have them make mistakes." answered Wolf. Many felt a little worried about Jaune for the first two reasons. When hearing the third reason many felt it was good strategy, and those that knew Yang felt she would fall for it quite easily.

For some reason Yang was very angry with everyone she knew.

"Surely he takes things seriously sometimes?" asked Penny.

"Only when he needs to." answered the god.

The group didn't seem to find that funny as they get closer with the barrel of their guns just a few feet away from the superhero's head. "We don't want to hurt you Spider-Man. The White Fang don't hurt their own. Just let us go and we won't cause any harm to the human."

When the leader of the group told him there was a hostage, the hero narrowed his eyes at the White Fang. "Ok, ok, I surrender." Raising both hands to show he was unarmed, the armed Faunus lowered their guns. Some seemed relieved that they don't have to fight the web head.

"Why are guys doing this? Usually I stop guys in suits, but this is the first time I see you all doing this."

"We're just getting what we deserve. You should understand." The boss of the group said and raised both his arms to his side. "For so long the Faunus have been treated poorly. It's time to take what we deserve."

"Yeah, I can see the taking part." Jaune said in with a hint of bite. Some of the group to look at each other wondering if this was the right idea. "Do you honestly believe that this is the right action? Your bringing people that have no business with any of this into your conflict."

"How can you say that?" The leader sounded genuinely surprised by the hero's statement. "You, who also wear a mask, doing whatever you like with no consequence, telling us that fighting for our equality are in the wrong."

"The difference is he isn't hurting innocent people or stealing. The boy also acts with responsibility" said Ghira. He was once again filled with disappointment at what the White Fang had become.

"Yes and I hardly see how robbing random shops would help us achieve equality." snarled Sienna while looking at Adam. She couldn't believe it took all this for her eyes to finally open to the truth of the path the White Fang was going.

What the man said caused Spider-man to put his arms down as he started to tremble. He knows what the consequences are. He always remembers when he returns home, when he eats with Aunt May with an empty seat across from them, and most of all when he looks at his mask, showing him what made him into the hero he is now.

"This confirms that Mr. Arc was somehow involved in the death of Mr. Parker. And from the looks of things he is filled with guilt." said Ozpin. Jaune's friends knew it had to have been an accident, Jaune would never knowingly do something like that.

With great power comes great responsibility. I can't let my anger get the better to me. I need to talk them down before they decide letting me live is too much of a risk.

"Please, whatever you're doing, do-"

*BANG*

Many were shocked at the sound of gunfire and grew worried.

Whatever he was about to say immediately died in his throat as a gun shot into the store causing him to move from his spot and spring into action.

"I said don't mo-" The leader lifted his gun to threaten him, but he was quickly knocked out when Spider-Man landed a punch in the middle of his face, causing the mask he was wearing to shatter. As the Faunus was lifted in the air from the force of the punch, Spider-man turned around and lunged towards the rest of the armed criminals.

"I had just realized something. If friend Jaune had to be very careful as to not destroy his alarm clock, then wouldn't his blows do far worse to anyone even with aura?" pointed out Penny.

"Perhaps Mr. Arc holds himself back as to keep himself from doing so as to not do that." said Ozpin.

"The boy shows great strength in restraint." said Ghira.

TWIP! TWIP! TWIP! TWIP! TWIP! TWIP!

A blur of fists and kicks impacted them. Their masks shattered, along with several of their bones. As the bodies hit the ground or walls Jaune placed webbed nets over them, immobilizing them for when the authorities arrive to take them away.

After the brief flash of anger vanished, the teen hero rushed inside the store, hoping that whatever he heard was a trick and no one was injured. When he reached the front of the store he saw another White Fang member holding a gun with shaking hands, his voice half choking and half sobbing.

"H-he didn't listen… I-it's not my fault." He told himself over and over again.

Spider-Man didn't understand what happened to make him fire his weapon, or why he was acting like this. As his eyes trailed downward he saw an unmoving body face down on the floor, a small puddle of blood forming underneath.

Several people gasped at what they saw. Ilia especially couldn't believe it, she understood if it was in self defence but that man couldn't possible have been dangerous enough to warrant being shot.

Uncle Ben!

"Get away from him!" Jaune shouted to the White Fang criminal. The scared Faunus snapped out of his shock and aim his gun with quivering hands.

"S-stay back!" He screamed, but Spider-Man didn't listen. His sights were only on the injured man on the floor. With no sign of stopping the shooter fired a round aimed at the spider's head, but missed by a few inches when the hero dodged and delivered a straight punch to the killer.

Jaune still held back his strength, he knew if he truly let go he'd seriously harm someone, or worse. So, when the robber landed on his back Spider-Man jumped on top of him and prepared himself to deliver another punch but stopped when he saw who was behind the mask.

"It seems you were correct in your assessment, headmaster." said Glynda. Ozpin just smiled and took a sip from his mug.

"P-please don't hurt me." Denny said while placing his hands over his face for protection. "I'm a Faunus too. We're all fighting for the same goal!" He whimpered as he tried to stop his punishment.

"Evidently not." said a disappointed Ghira.

Denny? Mr. Pesto's nephew? Why would you do such a thing, Denny?

While the wallcrawler was staying motionless, Denny used this opportunity to grab a jar of Dust and smash it on the side of the hero's head. The surprise attack caused him to loosen his grip on his classmate, allowing him to crawl away and escape.

Jaune was about to web him to the floor when he heard groaning coming from the injured man. Giving up his chase of Denny he chose to tend to the wounded store owner.

"Why are you helping a human?" Denny asked as he tried backing away from his crime. "You damn traitor!" The scared teen made a mad dash to the back door, leaving only Spider-Man to clean up his crime.

Sienna now realizes how foolish she was to give Adam such a high position if this is how his subordinates act, and wonders if any of the other high ranking members she put in place are as undeserving of their positions.

"Please." Jaune begged, his webbing trying to close the wound. "Please hang on. Help's on the way." His words of encouragement made the man to open his eyes as he tried to stay awake to give his thanks.

"Thank you, stranger." He said weakly.

"Don't thank me." The teen hero told him, his arms still holding tight. "Just please, please be ok."

Please don't die like Uncle Ben.

And with that the screen shut off and many were worried.

"I-is he going to be alright?" asked a nervous Ruby.

"You'll have to wait till the next viewing because we aren't done with this universe." answered Wolf. Just then everyone was knocked out of their depression when they heard a scream.

"Adrian! He's gone, I got distracted when the man was shot and now Adrian isn't on my lap anymore!" screamed Cici.

"What?!" shouted the Cotta-Arc couple. Many were worried as well, especially Juniper and Salem for their grandbaby.

"Uh guys." said Blake as she pointed up. Everyone looked to where she was pointing and they saw Adrian in his Spiderman costume climbing on the ceiling.

"Oh my god! Adrian come down, come down come to Cici." shouted the scared good half of Cinder as she was staying underneath the infant incase he fell.

"Us dammit M.P, why didn't you tell us about that?" grumbled Wolf. It would seem Mr. Midnight-Phoenix neglected to inform everyone that Adrian would have the abilities of the Jaune he dresses as with his costume.

Wolf was in no mood for this and just decided to go lay down until the next viewing, leaving Cici and Adrian's mothers to try and get him down.
