A/N: Sorry guys for the long wait, Some stuff has happened and my own procrastination kept me from working on it. I would like to thank 37 for Reviewing. To answer your question, I am debating on putting Dutch in as her team leader in Beacon and putting in Balalaika in as the mafia leader that Junior works for. Besides that I have no other plans for anymore characters from Black Lagoon. Now as for pairings I already have an Idea for those unless you guys start to request pairings. Now to warn you guys as I did in the summary Revy will not be as nihilistic and sadistic as in canon as unlike in canon she has an adoptive family in this onto the fic!
Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY or Black Lagoon as they are owned by Roosterteeth and Rei Hiroe.
Now it had been four years since Revy first met The Xiao-long Rose family and she has grown close to the small family of three. She grew closer to Taiyang and saw him as an uncle with Ruby and Yang as siblings. Though to her she felt a special connection to Ruby due to Ruby's Naivety and non judgmental nature. Revy felt so comfortable with Ruby that Revy often went to Ruby as a confidant. Ruby was a breath of fresh air for Revy who was surrounded by the darkness of humanity for most of her life. She was currently in the forest of Patch training with her favorite melee weapons Geronimo and Macbeth a deadly pair consisting of a Tomahawk and Dagger respectively. Geronimo was imbued with Gravity dust that allowed the strikes on any target was pure devastation and Macbeth Imbued with a combination of wind and lightning giving it unparalleled piercing ability.( look up Windlass battlecry- Crery War Dagger and Windlass Half moon Tomahawk on Kult of Athena for a visual) She just finished the last slash from her tomahawk before following up with a powerful stab down cutting a boulder into multiple pieces.
The weapons suddenly disappeared as she stood up straight and started to walk back to Qrows little apartment in Patch Town that was nearby. She discovered her semblance a few weeks after her encounter with the racist. It scared the shit out of her because she was eating with the Xiao-long Rose family along with Qrow when it happened. One moment the dining room set was there next thing they know they fall on their buts as the Dining room set along with the food disappeared. Tai quickly figured out that it was Revy's Semblance and coached her on controlling it as Qrow was completely useless in this aspect. It took about an hour before she was able to make them reappear. She spent weeks perfecting her control over her semblance. Revy has not completely mastered it as she knew that there were more applications for her semblance so she keeps training it and discovered that she could keep a ridiculous amount of stuff in what she called her "Magic Satchel", though it was more like a pocket dimension than a satchel. She gradually built up a small arsenal of weapons courtesy of Qrow from Swords to Battle rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, and rocket launchers. Revy of course had her favorites like the M1 Garand, Remington 87, HK MP5, China lake, but her babies were a pair of heavily customized Beretta M92 Cutlasses.
Of course she had Geronimo and MacBeth as her favorite melee weapons. When Ruby learned of Revy's Arsenal of weapons she flipped her lid and geeked out over them. Revy did many jobs around Patch to build up her arsenal and also had help from Qrow. She was into was into her second year of Signal and proving to be the top of her year. Tomorrow was a midterm test and Revy was ready for it even though it was as a mystery. She rapidly approached Qrow's apartment of which she called home in deep thought about these past few years. She smiled when she thought about how her life had turned around upon meeting Qrow. She loved Qrow as her adopted father. However, she hated that he would keep pestering her by trying to get her to open up to him which made her distance herself from him. Upon entering the apartment she was met with the sight of a passed out Qrow on the couch with the television on tuned into VNN. She went into the kitchen and started to prepare dinner. Revy deep fries some fish that she had caught earlier that day along with hush puppies and french fries along with potato salad. Qrow appeared in the doorway.
"That smells pretty good What'cha making," Qrow slurred out. Revy shortly replied with "fish."
Qrow nodded and sat down at the counter next to the doorway. "How is the training going kiddo?" Qrow asked.
"It is going well, though I am having trouble with mastering Geronimo and MacBeth," She replied.
"That right?" Qrow inarticulately said, "Well I can help with that if you want."
"Sure, if you can kept sober long enough to help." Revy verbally prodded Qrow.
"Hey, I can stay sober if I wanted. I just choose not to be," Qrow weakly defended half joking.
"Right," Revy drawled out unbelieving in Qrow's statement.
It was quiet as Revy finished cooking and sat down at the counter with Qrow with her food. Qrow fixed his plate and joined her. He pulled apart the soft meat of the fish looking at Revy out of the corner of his eye.
"How are you holding up kid?" Qrow softly asked.
"I'm fine Qrow." Revy stated shortly leaving no room to keep the conversation going.
It was quiet for a few more minutes before Qrow pressed the issue.
"You need to open up to me, I want to help you but you won't let me. I want to be there for you, but I need you to open up." Qrow stoically stated seeming to sober up for the first time that night.
Revy just glared at him before replying "I don't need any help Qrow. I am fine."
"no you are not fine! No one can be fine if what you hint at is true. I need you to open up to me, tell me about your childhood, tell me about what you experienced, how you survived, tell me your insecurities, your fears," he exclaimed all signs of inebriation disappear from Qrow as he shows the clear stress that this subject causes him and her stubbornness frustrating him as a whole.
"Fine you want to know what my childhood was like?" She replied coldly, "I lived in an faunus orphanage until I was three when it was shut down and I was forced to live on the streets. I lived out of a cardboard box, eating out of the trash cans, nobody gave a single fuck about some little faunus bitch. In fact, I had to learn how to outrun people that would chase me for eating out of their trash cans or just some racists that get off on hunting faunus. I had to steal food a lot when food shortages happened. I would get beaten on a daily basis by a man that took me in when I was five. When I was eight I finally got rid of that fucking bastard. I shot him in his sleep after he molested and raped me. I just finally snapped. I put a pillow over his head and shot him over and over again with a gun that I knew he kept in the nightstand. That was why I was out in that fucking desert. I was running away from that fuckers friends." Revy finished with tears in her eyes as she started to break down as the weight of all that left her mouth lifted as if she had a burden compared to Atlas' punishment was finally gone. She felt warmth as Qrow wrapped her in a hug. All thoughts of eating gone as he comforted her with tears in his eyes. They spent what felt like an eternity in that position in which was only a few seconds. They seperated and finished dinner before turning in as they had a long day tomorrow.
The next day came fast as Revy woke up around six am then got ready for the day. She walked with Qrow in complete silence. She was embarrassed about last night as that was the first time she ever broke down like that and she didn't know how to talk to him about it. The awkward silence was deafening to the both of them.
Qrow was finally the one to speak up, "I am sorry about what happened to you. What you went through isn't something anyone your age should have experienced Revy. I promise you that I will make things better for you, if you will let me. I want to adopt you."
Revy just stopped with Qrow turning around to look at Revy. Revy's hair covered her face, so he could not read her face. It was a moment before Revy suddenly hugged him with an unintelligible mutter.
"What was that Kiddo?" Qrow softly asked. "Yes, I want you to be my father!" Revy Exclaimed into the air.
They stood there embraced for a moment before Qrow whispered into her, "Ok Rebecca, I will make it happen."
Later that day, we join Revy in the classroom as they finally learned what their test would. It would be a combat test against a live Grimm. They would be taking this test one by one under the supervision of the teacher. It was an hour before she was called to take her test. She walked into the classroom. There was a cage in the corner that was rattling and growling, but the cage was covered with a sheet so she could not see what was in the cage. She surmised that the Grimm was in the cage. Next to the cage was a familiar face in the form of Taiyang. He smiled to her before he started to explain the rules of the test.
"You will face a Beowolf to test your skills. The test will either when the Beowolf dies or if I have to intervene. Now prepare yourself," Taiyang said.
Revy quickly made her Remington 870 appear in her hands. Taiyang opened the cage unleashing a beast of 8 feet high with bone armor covering its canine anthromorphic figure. This beast rapid closed the distance within a second lunging for Revy. Revy quickly dodged to the side before unloading a shotshell into the beasts arm blowing the limb off. The beast roared and lashed out with the other clawed appendage of pure darkness. She jumped back and unloaded one shell into the beasts chest Blowing a fist size hole in it with buck shot before pumping the action and letting loose another into its left leg. The leg shattering and flying across the room. The beast now laid on the floor struggling to get up and lash at her. Revy walked up to this beast will a dark snear on her face pleased with her work before lining up the firearm with monster's head before pulling the trigger blowing the head to pieces of black gore. Revy put away the shotgun as Taiyang walked up to her. He had a look of concern on his face as he saw the dark look on her face.
"Are you ok Revy?" Taiyang asked. Revy snapped out of it and looked up his tall form. "Yeah, I am fine." She said with a fake smile that did nothing to convince Taiyang. Taiyang let it go for now as there were more people to test and would tell Qrow about the dark look later.
Later that day, Revy was at the Xiao-Long Rose house hanging out with Ruby and Yang.
They were shooting the breeze watching television when Yang asked, "How did your test go Revy?"
"Pretty good actually wasn't too hard just had to kill a Beowolf." Revy replied.
"Really that sounds cool?" Ruby said. "yeah, it was pretty fun fighting it. I wish there had been more for me to fight. The adenaline I felt fighting that beast was intoxicating. The feeling of victory over that monster was envigorating. If I felt that way fighting a mindless beast imagine what I would feel fighting something that can think for itself." Revy said.
Yang looked slightly disturbed at Revy's statement, but quickly accepted it as apart of her personality as Revy was one of the weirdest people she knew so something like this shouldn't be surprised.
Ruby didn't even blink at the statement as she knew Revy better than anyone.
"Well I can't wait to start start signal next year. Dad has already unlocked my Aura and started to train me." Yang stated with pure excitement as she bounced on the couch with Revy and Ruby.
"It's not fair! I have to wait two more years before I can start." Ruby whined. "Well, I can teach you some stuff if you want."
Revy told Ruby. "Yay!" Ruby exclaimed jumping up and dancing on the couch.
" you have to work hard though. I can't have you slack off on me alright?" Revy said with joy in her voice at her surrogate sister's excitement.
"Roger that Big Sis Revy." Ruby responded with a mock salute and a smile on her face. Yang looked on the two with a smile on her face as she watched them interact before she told Revy with a confident smile,
"Then I bet you would like a training partner with you then?" Revy just grinned and nodded before they returned to the movie that they were watching.
A/N: Alright guys that is a Rap. I apologise again about the late update and I will try to whip up another chapter soon to apologise further for my transgression. I hope you guys have a blessed day and keep supporting the fic. Please review and give me feedback. I can't promise that i will follow through with the advice, but I will take it into consideration. If you want to know why the grimm fight was so short. It is because Revy has outsmarted humans in evading mobs. Some mindless beast isn't even going to touch her by themselves. The amount of damage the shotgun did, If you ever saw the show Lock 'n' Load with R. Lee Ermey you would know just how devestating Buckshot is at close range. I mean in that Particular episode he blew up a turkey with can find the show on Youtube for free if you want to watch it. Well enough rambling have a good day and Excelsior!
