RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and to its original creator Monty Oum rip.


Qrow walked downstairs towards the living room where Yang was currently watching TV. He grumbled something as he reached the sofa.

"Hey, how did it go?" Yang asked despite already knowing the answer as she saw her extremely tired-looking uncle

For an answer, he just lifted his already thorn dark red cape that had four new holes in it. He traced the tears in his cape with his fingers while wondering if he should try and fix or just get rid of it altogether.

"Do I have to say?" He slumped on the sofa next to her with a sigh. "But, I guess I should have known this was going to happen. And no Yang, I can't just think of happy things to make her not try to attack me."

Yang gave a small smile as she tried to think of something positive to say. "Well, we know that she is attracted to negative emotions like all Grimm are. So why don't you just try to suppress all of your emotions?"

"It's not that easy. Emotions are part of what makes us human, and the Grimm are attracted to us anyways." He sighed and wondered what he could do.

"You could always use the bat," Yang suggested.

"As I said, I'm not just gonna hit her! Despite what she is I just can't harm a young girl." Qrow glanced towards Yang and wondered how she managed to tame the girl in the attic.

He leaned forward on the seat while glancing towards the bat leaning against a wall. After a minute of deep thinking, he seemed to have come up with a plan.

"What are you thinking?" Yang asked.

"Well, it's worth a shot," Qrow muttered as he rose from his seat. He took a few steps towards the windows and looked outside into a sunny day. "Go get her and bring her to the backyard. I think I have a plan."

Before Yang could ask he already walked out the door. She shrugged her shoulders before jumping off the couch and began her walk to the attic.

Once she was back in the attic she saw Wolfy sitting on the old bed and munching on what appeared to be a part of Qrow's cape. She was currently wearing a bright red sweater so large that its helm easily reached her knees. Yang had given it to her to replace her old puke-smelling blanket.

Wolfy saw Yang and froze. She glanced between her and the dark red cloth she was chewing on. After spitting it out she waved at Yang while giving her a wide smile.

"Hi," Yang greets her and motioned her to follow. "Qrow asked us to come outside."


Qrow looked at his scroll while leaning on a broom he had taken with him to the backyard. Yang sure took her time to get the little Grimm out because he had been standing in the middle of the opening for ten minutes. He was about to go in and check if something had happened when he heard the door open.

What he saw made him chuckle for a second. Yang was keeping her hands at Wolfy's back and pushing her forwards. Poor Wolfy seemed to be at the brink of hyperventilating as she kept looking all around herself.

But luckily she seemed to calm down somewhat and actually seemed to be curious about her surroundings.

"Hey," Qrow called out to Yang while Wolfy was busy examining the ground and playing with dirt.

"Hi! So why are we outside?" Yang couldn't help but ask from the huntsman before a hopeful glint light up her eyes. "Are you finally teaching me how to fight?"

"No." With that Qrow shot down her dream making Yang bout. "I don't have time for that. Besides I do teach plenty of brats already at Signal," he joked and received a small punch from Yang.

"Then why did you want us out here?"

"Well, I'm here to test a small theory that I came up with." He made a small twirl with his broom before planting it firmly on the ground. "And since you're so eager, you can watch how I usually teach the kids."

Yang gave him a confused look before shifting her gaze to Wolfy who was at the moment trying to swallow a large pine cone.

It wasn't long before Yang realized what Qrow was talking about. "You're going to have a spar with her!"

"Bingo," Qrow replied.

"But I thought you didn't want to hit her!" Yang couldn't think of a way that the incoming spar couldn't end in another way than Wolfy lying on the ground her small body filled with bruises.

Qrow was a fully trained huntsman which meant that his major job was hunting down the creatures of Grimm. And the fact had he had graduated from the pristine Beacon Academy and was currently teaching in another academy, meant that he wasn't somebody to mess around with.

"Don't worry kiddo!" Qrow said to her. "I'm just going to show what I do to some snobbish kids." That didn't really ease Yang's mind but she allowed Qrow to approach Wolfy.

As if feeling his presence Wolfy turned towards him and gave her scariest growl she could, but with a pine cone in her mouth, it just sounded like snoring at best.

Qrow twirled the broom around before pointing it towards her. "C'mere little pup," Qrow said and motioned for her to get closer with his free hand.

Of course, for a response, he got louder growl that actually sounded like one once she had let go of the pine cone. At first, Wolfy just stayed on her spot occasionally glancing towards Yang like asking for some kind of permission. Yang raised her hands and shoulders to sign that she didn't what was going on.

"Oh don't be scared to throw some punches" Wolfy lunged at him with her newly formed claws making him dodge to his right "or slashes. Eh, whatever suits you."

Before she could launch another set of slashes he jumped a couple of feet back and waited for her next move.

They circled each other as Yang watched with excitement and worry. At least so far nothing bad happened and they seemed to just measure one another. Just as Yang thought about that both of them rushed toward each other.

"Let's get this started." Grow only made small movements but somehow he managed the avoid all of Wolfy's attacks. In fact, it seemed that he was only playing with her while she was out for blood. "Not so scary when you're in the open."

Qrow's taunt seemed to anger her and soon she started her next round of slashes towards his body. Despite how fast she was going, her attacks were only sloppy at best for the huntsman.

Just as she was getting close to land a slash he just took a took step back and pointed his broom to her chest keeping her there. She tried to take away the broom and hit it, but Qrow easily avoided it by moving his broom away before setting it back between themselves.

As he expected he started seeing Wolfy become more frustrated and angry as he kept pushing and avoiding her attacks. So he decided to up his game.

He lowered the brush of his broom to the ground letting Wolfy have an opening to strike. She took the bait and stepped over the brush not noticing Qrow's grin. Before she could react her foot was pulled from underneath her causing her to fall to her back. She heard Qrow laugh at her so she quickly raised herself to her feet, only to be tripped again by the huntsman.

This went on for a while. Yang kept asking herself why Qrow was just playing with her seemingly not worrying about the Grimm who was trying to harm him. Her thinking was cut off once she heard Wolfy let out an angry roar and leap towards Qrow baring her claws and fangs.

She was almost close enough to his torso when her movement was halted by Qrow who put the broomstick sideways and let her dig her teeth into it. Even still she was trying to reach for him with her sharp claws.

What she didn't expect was that this was all Qrow's plan.

He let go of the broom and instead grabbed her wrists. She gave a small yelp causing the broom to fall of her mouth as she was turned around and put against the ground on her belly. Qrow was holding her claws behind her back with his right hand as he reached for the broom with his left one.

She tried to break free off his hold while growling loudly at him. But there wasn't much she could do and her growling completely stopped once he brought the broom to her neck.

It was like a magic trick for Yang. Once Wolfy acting like a feral wolf was now completely still and didn't make any sound or attempts to get free. Instead, she was looking at Grow with her left eye and waited for him to do something to her.

"Can you stop?" Qrow suddenly asked breaking the silence. Wolfy just gave him a small nod for an answer. Slowly but surely he took the broom away from her neck and threw it away. Then he let go of her but kept standing near her.

Wolfy raised herself to her feet but didn't prepare for another attack. She didn't even growl at him! Instead, she just looks at him with a neutral expression with some confusion behind her red eyes.

They just stood near each other in complete silence. Just as Yang was about to ask what was going on Wolfy raised her hand, which was actually a hand instead of a claw towards him and waved.

"Hi."

Qrow waved back at her and repeated what she said. "Hi."

Again they stood there for a minute before Wolfy started to take a few steps back. It wasn't long before she left and went inside the house without saying a word.

"Uhh… what was that?" Yang still couldn't wrap her head around what had just happened so she just turned towards Qrow. "Can you tell me what you just did?"

Qrow looked at the door from which Wolfy just entered before turning to his niece. "I showed her that I'm strong but also harmless to her." That didn't clear it for Yang so he decided to put it more simply. "She knows that I respect her and she respects me back."

Yang glanced towards where Wolfy had gone to. She still wasn't fully sure what happened but it seemed to work at least. So this was a win?

"Anyway we should head back inside," he said and turned towards Yang with a smirk. "I hope you took notes 'cause I'm not doing that again. Oh, and I should mention that I came up with a proper name for her."

"When did you think of that?"

Qrow walked to the door and opened for her. "Somewhere along with the spar."


A long and frustrated sigh could be heard from Xiao-Long household's living room.

"What's wrong with my name? I think it would be perfect for her!" Yang was trying to convince Qrow to accept her genius proposal. But so far the huntsman seemed to only try and sink into the couch they were sitting on again.

"I'll admit it kiddo. That is so far the most reasonable name you have suggested." What he said made Yang feel hopeful that what she suggested would come true. "But I don't think Redalex the Destroyer would be a good name."

Yang grumbled something but other that she didn't object to what he said. But in her humble opinion, it was at least a hundred times better what Qrow proposed. At least her name wasn't based on a season!

"I think we should stick to my idea and call her Autumn. It would be similar to Summer's name."

"But why don't we call her Winter or Fall, if we have to name her after a season?" Yang wasn't going to give up so easily. Wolfy's name will be something epic!

Qrow sighed and rubbed his hairline when he felt his headache rise. "As long as the moon is broken, she won't be called Winter! And making her first name Fall sounds like some kind of villain."

"How about instead of bothering you with naming her, let me do it!" Yang had taken a small paper from somewhere and she cleared her throat.

Before Qrow could ask what she was reading she began listing her names that she came up with and started giving reasons for why her name ideas were the "best". Qrow was honestly surprised how much thought she had but to this. But of course, this being Yang meant that most of the ideas behind her names were ridiculous. Like who would use their own name as a superhero name?

"Yang, Yang." He tried to stop her but she was focused on convincing him that she didn't notice his tries to get attention. Once her carefully crafted list was taken off her hands did she finally stop. "There we go. Let's just meet in the middle and call her Autumn Rose."

"Don't you know what it means to meet in the middle?" Yang asked and reached for her list. "And if we are going to do just that. At least let me give her a better name!" As Yang thought of what she said an idea popped into her head.

"Just call for her and we will settle this." He gave her back her list and started to wonder if Tai had any alcohol hidden in his office.

Yang looked like she wanted to continue arguing but reluctantly agreed to call for the girl upstairs. "Wolfy come here I have something to say to you!" After she finished she looked towards Qrow who was about to raise himself off the couch and get out of the room.

But he halted his movement when he was on his feet and looked behind the couch. Wolfy just stood there next to the first step of the stairs.

"You called me?" she asked from Yang who also now noticed Wolfy standing near them. To their surprise, she wasn't growling at Qrow and her hands didn't morph into claws. The only thing that she did that unsettled Qrow was her neutral stare.

Yang had to make sure that Wolfy was actually seeing Qrow instead of him suddenly becoming invisible to her. But to her amazement, Wolfy could see Qrow judging from how she kept glancing at both of them

"Huh, I guess it worked." Qrow was feeling quite good now. It seemed that he had managed to make her not try to harm him whenever he was near. But there was still some skepticism in her eyes. Either way, he counted this as a victory!

Maybe they could save her after all. Qrow turned towards Yang and said, "Anyway, why don't you tell her about her new name we agreed on."

"Alright." Yang agreed and hoped that he wasn't seeing her smile. "Wolfy! Under the eyes of a huntsman Qrow Branwen. I hereby name you Autumn Wolfy Rose!"

Qrow should have realized why she was being so theatrical. But before he could have intertwined the damage was already done. The little Grimm let out a squeal of excitement and with that, it might as well been carved into stone.

There were days that he wished he hadn't cleared Tai's liquor cabinet. This was one of those days. "Please kiddo. The least you could have done was to spare me off any headache." Yang wasn't listening as she was laughing at the very excited Autumn. "Have fun kids. I'm heading upstairs," he said and started climbing the stairs

He had a phone call to make.


Tai was starting to think that Qrow's semblance was somehow still affecting him despite he being in Atlas. Currently, he was trying to talk with somebody, but it was like the world was doing everything it could to stop that.

"Did you hear me?" Tai yelled over the howling breeze to an old man that seemed to be a skipper. If he had known that the dock he was in was going to be ravaged by a storm he would have just stayed at his hotel.

"Listen, son!" The skipper took a few steps closer. "You need to come closer. I can't hear a word that you're saying!"

The skipper shifted his still somewhat functioning ear to him while Tai came closer.

Just as Tai was about to open his mouth he felt his scroll vibrate in his pocket. He took it out while lifting his index finger to skipper for a sign of pause. There was a name of his old friend on the scroll, he accepted the call with a grunt.

"Took you long enough to call!" he said with an annoyed tone. "Anyway how is it going there?" he asked but secretly hoped that nothing bad happened. He simply didn't have time for worrying.

"That's not how you greet somebody." Qrow's voice came from the other side. "And stop blowing on your scroll it's irritating."

"I'm not- how are things back at home?"

Qrow went silent for a while which didn't help his mood. He was about to yell at the scroll but the sound of a familiar drawer being pulled open caught his ear.

"What are you doing in my office?"

There were more sounds of drawers being pulled open. "Hmm… sorry did say something?"

"Qrow what is going on and what are you doing in my office?"

There was a long sigh on the other. "Well, a lot has happened here while you have been on your trip. Do you wish to know?"

Taiyang thought about for a second before coming to a conclusion. "Nah, spare me the details. I'll fix whatever you have broken there once I get back."

"But I haven't broken anything!" Qrow said with a fake whine. "But for real Tai, I would- ooh, what we have here!"

He heard something clinging against some wood. It wasn't long before he realized what it was. "Qrow put that back!"

"And you complain about how I drink on the job!"

"Qrow don't you even dare! That is reserved for quests!" There was a loud popping sound from the other side of the line.

"This is some gourmet shit."

"Qrow no!" The call was cut off before he could tell Qrow what he would do to him once he gets back.

With a heavy sigh, he turned back towards the old man. "Is there a way for me to get into Vale from here?" he asked once he was sure that The skipper would hear him.

The skipper gave him a confused look before asking, "Did I hear that right? You wanted to go all the way to Vale from here?" Tai gave him a nod for an answer. "Well, son. You have come to the wrong place. We only have simple fisher boats, there is no way we would risk bumping into some sea Grimm!"

Tai groaned as he began to think that his journey to the docks was all just a waste of time. But before he could say thanks and leave the skipper tapped his shoulder and pointed towards an empty dock.

"But if you're that desperate you can always try getting on SDC cargo ship. They should be coming here in the evening, and from what I've heard they also have a space for pets too."
