Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of The Dragon and her rook. Enjoy the 900- word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.
(Haven Academy, 1 day after Arrival.)
Qrow looked around at the soldiers guarding the room, Skyler finished off his burger and looked at the Huntsmen as everyone besides Lionheart ate or sat in the room adjacent to them.
"There's absolutely no way," Qrow said, Yang looked at her wedding ring while Skyler calmly looked at his future Uncle in Law and leaned back.
"You mean with Yang or how I 1000% believe Lionheart is giving information to Merlot as we speak? I can be completely honest about Yang then, it's true." Skyler said as Qrow glowered before Winter spoke up.
"I realize there's a lot of hostilely in this room, but I don't believe the best thing to do at the moment. We have Merlot's troops on the march, we are aware there's an object here they want…. And we are aware the owner of this school might be working for the enemy." Winter stated, Skyler turned to her and spoke up.
"I know… Qrow, I did propose to Yang, I know you're ticked off… But we have bigger fish to fry…. Winter, did you end up getting the defenses set up? We already know the only thing that will stop people like Cinder and her group will be us…." Skyler said, Yang, looked at Skyler who looked at his fiancée and smiled.
"I have, our defenses are set up and I've made sure the Mistral Police will be notified for more support when the time comes… We don't know what's coming through." Winter said, Yang, stood up at this.
"Merlot's going to send those robots, right? You guys also saw the White Fang so I'm sure they're coming… And I'm sure my mom is coming here sooner or later." Yang put in, Winter raised an eyebrow while Skyler looked at Qrow and Winter, the only other people in the room since the others were guarded in another.
"She's right, Merlot is going to want more manpower, and Raven has to know what's here if she's around here…. I'm going to also guess he has an arrangement with the White Fang, they attacked at the same time Merlot's attack androids showed up… We're going to need to keep them from overrunning us while we deal with Cinder and the others." Skyler put in, Qrow sighed and rubbed his temples while he looked at Yang's wedding ring before gazing at Skyler. Skyler stood up and walked to the door.
"You don't have to yell at me… Tai already did that, and Yang is scarier than you or anything else you could throw at me, Qrow…. I get you don't like the military, but we're fighting a war here. We don't have time for putting knives to each other's throats." Skyler stated before he walked out of the room. Winter looked at Qrow.
"I hope not to have another repeat of Beacon while we're here, Qrow. I know Skyler, he's not going to do anything stupid to Yang, he's been helping her since he got his new arm and he's been itching to go and see her since surgery." Winter said while she walked to the door with 2 AK-200s.
"He has never looked at another girl like he has with Yang. I'm more scared she does something to him than he her…. Lieutenant, I'll see you outside." Winter said before she and her soldiers walked out of the room.
"Yang, is he telling the truth about you and him? You went to see Raven; he didn't tell you to bring him to her?" Qrow asked, Yang, sighed and cracked her knuckles.
"I wanted to see mom, Uncle Qrow. He told me it was too dangerous and when we found her, I saw why. I love Skyler, I would have said no if I didn't. I can take care of myself." Yang said, she looked at her trembling fist, closed her eyes, and clenched it while taking a deep breath before she opened her eyes again.
"I can look after myself…. He is there for me when I need him though, he wouldn't have personally helped me find Raven or let me talk to her and not try and throw her in jail for all her crimes if he didn't care. I'm not naïve, I know he's a soldier." Yang said and stood up before she walked towards the door.
"You love him, huh?" Qrow asked, Yang only nodded and walked out of the room as Qrow sighed and looked at the rest of the soldiers who piled out a minute later, knowing the senior Huntsmen wouldn't need them.
"I turn my bad for one second and they're grown up…" Qrow said before he smiled and left the room.
Skyler watched him go and turned to Winter to follow Merlot before he turned to Yang with a smile.
Author notes
Phew, another chapter is done! Yes, I know it's short, the next chapter is planned to be longer. I also want to point out that Skyler and Yang will be changing the battle of Haven a lot. The next chapter will be on next Saturday and will show Skyler and Yang during Alone Together and will talk about them preparing to fight Merlot. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
