" Damian come on we're gonna be late for class." Brendan said as he adjusted the cuff of his dress shirt while Arthur and Alexander both had left ten minutes prior
" get up idiot !" Brendan called as he yanked the covers off of his teammate the sight before him was surprising to say the least, Damian was unmoving on the bed his right arm still wrapped in bandages up to his shoulder dressed in a tank top and a pair of sweat pants even though it has been only a day his injuries however small they were still clear as day almost as if his aura hasn't began to work its magic on them. sighing Brendan grabbed the air horn that had been left on the window ceil from one of Damian's previous antics " pay back." he muttered placing the horn against Damian's ear as he peacefully slept. One loud screech followed shattering of glass and aura Damian inevitable woke up and the two managed to skillfully make it to port's class with a minute to spare "geez what happened to you." jaune asked as Damian and Brendan took their seats across the aisle "I'm good." Damian returned as his head made contact with the desk " leave him be for the next two periods he's a little out of it right now." Brendan stated as he placed his palm on his chin. "What's wrong with him?" Ruby asked looking towards Jaune " I don't know maybe it has something to do with the fight from yesterday."Jaune shrugged as the two were forced from their conversation when port made his way into the room.
'What's his problem today honestly I can't figure out Damian at all' I mentally groaned as the mechanical digits on my right hand rattled against the desk ' hey your getting a group message from Ruby and jaune.' Church mussed prompting me to to look it over through the link.

After another hour of port's rambling the three of us made our way to Rox's classroom which was surprisingly devoid of any students other than Kurama who had the class for first period " we really appreciate this professor but why are you helping us?" Ruby asked " no reason in particular ." The hooded man shrugged before asking " so what's your plan for getting Damian out of his funk?" As I shifted my weight leaning against the first row of desks Ruby set a planner down on Rox's desk " Tada" she exclaimed as kurama picked it up and started flipping through it. " step one trick the target into going to town." He read aloud making my ears twitch slightly "wait your just gonna take him downtown? That's all ." I question the red head "eh yeah I kinda get the feeling he feels trapped here when he can't really go to town." She retorted earning a nod of approval from Rox " your right he's actually really skittish when he goes out alone I mean how many times have you guys managed to easily scare him when he's alone." Rox stated surprising all of us "really there's no way he's like that, he's just so cool." Jaune stated receiving a laugh in response from Rox " don't ever let him hear that we don't want him gaining a ego." I groaned receiving a nod from both Rox and kurama.
The next hour was spent figuring out where they would have Ruby take Damian as well as countermeasures they would work on to stop some of the 'crazier' members of team RWBY,ABAD,and JNPR Those many being yang and Nora. " alright Ruby you know what to do Tomorrow just simply go ask him." I stated giving her a pat on the shoulder before pushing her out the door of Rox's classroom 'hey church need you to pull up a chat to Damian' 'got it'

" alright we're all set on this end, let's just hope all goes well." Brendan yawned as he made his way back to the dorms
" Time trial mode complete, new record achieved." The A.I. Rang out over the intercom as I dropped to the ground with a groan "how does he know so much about what's going on with me." I thought aloud as the memories of all my encounters with Rox flashed through my mind before returning back to what he said yesterday " don't rely on White, the more you do the greater the risk of a takeover." Thinking about it really pisses me off sighing I pulled out my scroll opting to up the difficulty of the simulation before hitting start. " Match start, activating rouge huntsman program." It called out as three hard light holograms came into existence on the other side of the arena when a vibration came from my scroll " Who is it?" I muttered Glancing at the screen seeing that it was Brendan I sighed as I went about messaging him while evading the three unnamed huntsman only going about disarming one before one struck my hand ripping some of the bandages off as well as knocking my scroll away "Great good thing we ended the conversation ." I winced before teleporting bringing my foot down on own of the huntsman's heads shattering the hard light hologram leaving me with only two left to deal with 'Remember Damian only one sword no matter what don't draw shadow's revenge.' I repeated to myself blocking a strike from the two huntsman clones before they faded out as the program was shut off prompting me to turn towards whoever had halted the program " You know I'm pretty sure your not moving as fast as you did yesterday." Arthur called as he walked over before continuing " And your not using your other sword either." With a sigh I shrugged before responding " What can I say I'm trying to improve where I lack." Arthur stood there for a moment as his gaze never left my arm instinctively I moved it behind my back and out of his sight.
" Why do you hide your arm so much?" Arthur questioned as I let light's prevail dissipate and pocketed my hands " I don't know what -" I started to say before he cut me off once more "You know exactly what I'm talking Damian what are you trying to hide so much, I'm your friend aren't I so why don't you tell me or Brendan." He finished placing a hand on my shoulder forcing me to look away " I don't think I'm ready to show anyone this secret, Arthur I still have yet to comprehend what it is but I'll make sure when I'm ready you'll be one of the first to know." I stated removing his hand from my arm before heading out of the training hall not waiting to hear his response.
As I made my way down the hall I began messing with the bandages on the back of my hand attempting to fix the small rips. "Where to go, guess I could go get something to eat it about that time of the day." I muttered as I turned down the hall to my left only for someone to bump into me " hey are you ok?" I asked looking down to see a pair of brown rabbit ears ' Velvet?' I mentally thought " I'm fine you don't have to act nice." She said catching me off guard. Sighing I crouched down to see what she had dropped " is that your camera?" I asked reaching towards it only to stop "can I see it?" Glancing up at her seeing her nod her head slightly picking it up inspecting it for any damage " can I see some of your work?" I asked seeing her posture straighten slightly " Go ahead." She muttered as I turned it on and began looking through the photos "these are really good did you use a filter for this one? " I asked showing her the screen on it was a photo of new students exiting the bullhead. " No that one was with all natural lighting." She responded shyly smiling "Really, wait a second I'm in this photo, see right there." I said pointing towards the back of one of he crowds where I could barely see my cloaked form fumbling with something "Oh that Is you I'm surprised you could see that." She said adopting a calmer tone " yeah and over there is Ruby and Yang, Blake is right here and the best on in this one has got to be Jaune bent over the trash can." I continued pointing towards all the other people in the photo.
Some time went bye and the two of us continued to talk about photos and art in the library "Velvet where were you at we saved your lunch." Someone said coming around the bookshelf catching me off guard " Oh hey Coco sorry I got caught up talking to -oh I never got your name." Velvet said turning back towards me "Yeah sorry about that, I'm Damian Moon." I said giving a slight wave " Slightly above average looks baggy clothes, I give you a six out of ten." Coco said "What" I said confusion plastered on my face " Sorry about that she tends to do that to new people she meets, I'm Velvet scarlatina and this is Coco Adel my team leader." Velvet stated with a sigh "Call me if you want a fashion overhaul." Coco smirked as I rubbed my neck "Noted, you made my day Velvet it's been awhile since I've been able to talk to someone about art next time I'll be sure to bring some of my work, but I gotta get some sleep so have a good day both of you." I said making my way out of the library.
"I'm back." I stated opening the door to my dorm room receiving no response I made my way over to my bed plopping down before I reached over to the night stand pulling out a new roll of bandages and patched up the damaged sections. Yawning I spared a glance at the clock "Its 4 if I go to sleep now I should be good for tomorrow." I muttered to myself as I turned over onto my back yawning. "That's right I have to go meet Ruby at the docks tomorrow, wonder what she wants." I sighed as sleep took ahold.
