Avenging Remnant Chapter 17: Recruits abound
Peter Parker sat with a less than subtle expression of distraught in the office that Ozpin had given to the Avengers once the next semester at Beacon began.
The young fledgling Superhero stared at his custom made mask with a look that the Avengers could sympathize with as they themselves have their own concerns and priorities that were now seemingly out of reach due to their predicament of being here.
Steve and Sam stood outside, looking in at the young kid who hadn't moved from his seat since they had explained to him just where he was and what had happened since their arrival here.
"Well he's certainly been busy after Leipzig" Steve remarked on a certain billionaire superhero
"Recruiting a kid to his cause" Sam frowned "He must have been desperate"
"We had the numbers" Steve said "That and the kid proved he could stand with the rest of us"
"Barely" Sam murmured distastefully making Steve snort
"He didn't beat you down that badly" Steve said "You outsmarted him"
"But he stopped Bucky's arm like it was nothing" Sam pointed out
"Yeah" Steve nodded, recalling how he caught an Aero Bridge with some strain "Kids pretty strong"
"So what do we do with him Cap?" Sam finally asked "We can't leave him that's for sure"
"No" Steve agreed "No we cannot. He's got heart, that's for sure. It's in the right place, especially after his little stint with that Toomes fella. I could see why Tony recruited him"
"Reminds me of Tony in a lot of way" Sam said with a smirk "And you. It's like Tony's brains with your attitude. Just more inclined to Tony's"
"I could see that" Steve said with an approving smile towards the downcast teen "I do see a bit of myself in him"
"He from Brooklyn to?"
"Queens"
"Of course he's from New York"
"Gentlemen"
The two Avengers turned to see Ozpin approaching them, mug of coffee in hand.
"I hope things with our newest arrival have been straightened out" Ozpin said
"More or less" Steve said with a shrug "Right now, home seems to be in a lot more trouble than we thought. But the kid left a sizeable dent in it so things may calm down for the time being"
"Which begs the question then, what do you intend to do with him?" Ozpin inquired
The headmaster knew and was respectful enough for Steve and the Avengers to make a decision here rather than him.
This was their jurisdiction as they had the history with this newcomer, albeit brief.
"We can't let him strike out on his own here" Steve started listing down their options "And we can't really force him to do anything we want him to. The best that I could think of is having him under our care, train him up a bit"
"Train him?" Sam repeated "You're serious?"
"With the right guidance and mentorship, kid could become something special" Steve said confidently
"I could enroll him into Beacon as a special case student" Ozpin suggested "No need for a team, he will be under your guidance as you said and will learn about the world around him while retaining a semblance of normalcy albeit in an exaggerated form"
"That was a convoluted way of saying I'll help as well" Sam quipped
"Apologies" Ozpin said slightly sheepish "My mouth tends to blabber on at times"
The trio looked back to Peter Parker who hadn't moved from his position or his posture for that matter.
"So it's decided then" Steve said with a nod
"You're the boss here Steve" Sam said "But yeah, better to keep him here than anywhere else"
"I'll have to prepare some documents" Ozpin said, eyeing Peter with great intrigue "If I were to be honest, I would like to speak to this young man myself"
"It's your school you're offering him a place in" Steve said understandably
The group of men entered the office with Peter remaining unresponsive until Steve sat down right in front of him with Sam seating himself besides Cap.
Peter blinked, his normally awestruck demeanor being greatly diminished due to his current situation. One he shared with the two Avengers before him.
There was soft clunk of a mug being placed in front of him.
Peter looked down to see a steaming cup of hot chocolate in front of him courtesy of Professor Ozpin. The young teen gave a weak smile of thanks with Ozpin merely gesturing his hand for him to simply drink, hoping to soothe his nerves.
"Where the hell did you get that from?" Sam asked in bewilderment
"A good magician never reveals all of his tricks" Oz stated, intentionally vague
"You magic that up?" Steve correctly assumed "Is that how you keep you coffee mug full?"
Ozpin only scoffed, reaching into his suit to pull out a gold flask and thusly refilled his mug.
"You can't replicate certain tastes and experiences with magic" Ozpin said proudly
An awkward silence hung in between them all when Steve cleared his throat to cut the tension and spoke to Peter.
"How are ya holding up Peter?" Steve asked
Peter didn't answer at first, fidgeting with the cup of hot cocoa in his hands.
"I…I don't know really" Peter admitted nervously "I'm still trying to…still trying to figure out all of this"
"Trust me kid, we know exactly what you're going through" Sam said knowingly
Peter gave an appreciative nod at the para-rescue man, taking a deep gulp of his drink.
"Mr. Parker" Ozpin began after Peter set his cup down "Do you know where you are right now?"
"A school?" Peter guessed "Captain Rogers didn't exactly clarify where we are really, just the gist of what kind of world this is and where you guys took me to"
"This is Beacon academy of Vale that trains the future protectors of this world" Ozpin said in complete seriousness "Here, we teach and train young adults such as yourself in honing and crafting their methods of combatting Grimm and other dangers that pose a threat to the innocent civilians of Remnant"
Peter slightly balked at that, very much stunned. A literal super school? This had to be some kind of joke. Seeing that the faces of Falcon and Cap pretty much confirmed what Ozpin just said, Peter's jaw dropped.
"This is a school that teaches teenagers how to be superheroes?!" Peter asked excitedly, his saddened feelings momentarily thrown aside
"Yes and no" Ozpin said "This school is merely a staging ground. Here we teach children like yourself the responsibilities of being the defenders of Remnant and its people. What you choose to do with the knowledge we have instilled in you is entirely your choice. Just know the consequences that come with them all, be they good or bad"
Steve's observant eyes picked up on the change in demeanor that Peter exuded after Ozpin finished his brief summarization of the purpose of Beacon.
There was something in the kids eyes similar to that of his own. One of…one of loss and regret. A deep seated feeling of guilt.
'Where did that come from?' Steve mentally asked himself 'Kids only 16 right?'
Peter found himself zoning out momentarily, hearing the old streets of Queens with a slight elder and father like voice speaking to him…when he heard the gunshot.
He flinched which did not go unnoticed by the trio in front of him.
"You alright there kid?" Sam asked
"Yeah" Peter said slowly "I'm fine…I think"
"Want some time to yourself?" Steve inquired
"Sure" Peter said softly
The grownups left the kid be for now, choosing to leave the area and allow Peter some alone time as to gather his thoughts.
"Poor kid" Steve murmured "From one crazy situation to another"
"What was with that look with his eyes?" Sam asked them both
"Noticed that to huh?" Steve correctly assumed
"Hard not to" Sam said with a frown "Use to see that all the time back home in the old department"
"He lost someone" Ozpin stated more of a fact than a guess "I've seen that before"
"He reacted that way when you were speaking about the school" Sam noted "The responsibilities that come with being here. Maybe there's something in there that speaks to him on a personal level"
"We'll dwell on it when he comes forward about it" Steve said "For now, let's just prepare ourselves for the next two weeks"
"I concur mister Rogers" Ozpin said, nodding to Steve "If you'll excuse me, I have some false documents to create. What an unusual life"
The two could only stare at the silver haired headmaster with slight bewilderment at his somewhat aloof personality right now.
"Do you think there's something in that coffee of his? Sure as hell feels that way sometimes" Sam said with snort
"Honestly? Not discounting the idea" Steve said in good humor
"By the way, you almost ready?" Sam asked his friend "Semester is about to start up in about two weeks from now"
"Can't really say" Steve answered truthfully "War and combat, that's one thing…teaching hormonal teenagers who have enhanced abilities, that's something else entirely"
Sam laughed at the comment, finding a great deal of irony and hilarity to what they were about to undertake over the course of the next few months.
"Oh man" Sam said "This is surreal. Veterans I can handle. Robots, crazy monsters and terrorists sure. But kids? Could barely handle one, how in the hell can we handle a school full?"
"Thankfully we've got two fathers on the team" Steve said, patting Sam's shoulder "We'll defer to them if needed"
"So all the time then?"
"Probably" Steve admitted without any shame
The two Avengers departed from the area, leaving Peter to himself who went back to staring at his mask. Once again, he found himself staring at his mask unable to prevent his thoughts from straying to what was yesterday for him yet it felt like months ago.
'What happened back there?' He mentally asked himself 'Is Liz's dad ok? Did Ned get to Happy? What about all that tech? Oh man, Mister Stark is gonna freak'
"If he could even find me" Peter said aloud, leaning back into his chair
Then his eyes widened with horror and remorse.
"No" Peter said with a shaky voice "Aunt May"
If Peter wasn't as distraught before, now it elevated itself to a whole new level. Clutching his head with a dash of self-loathing, Peter felt an enormous tidal wave of guilt assault his very being with his eyes tearing up at the thought of what Aunt May would do when discovering that her nephew, her last living relative was gone.
No he wasn't dead, but to her he might as well be due to them not knowing anyway of returning home other than by a happy accident.
Shaking his head, Peter slipped on his mask, put on his web shooters and jumped out the window. He began swinging around the school in a vain attempt at clearing his head.
Normally this would work in most circumstances but as one could tell, this wasn't exactly normal.
Spidey eventually sat down upon the ledge of an open window, settling his head in his hands. He could only groan as his thoughts consumed him figuratively speaking.
Unaware of the bewildered engineer in the workshop behind him.
Scott simply stared at the back of Spider-man, expression that basically summarized his thoughts.
'Uh, how and when did he get there?'
Whatever the case may be, that kid from the airport was there and from the looks of his slouched posture he didn't look all to happy.
Not that Scott could blame him.
Clearing his throat, Scott called out to the kid.
"Hey, spider guy"
He jolted slightly from his seat, turning around to face him.
Peter's eyes widened a bit in surprise at seeing Scott so soon.
"You alright there kid?" Scott asked
"Uh…" Peter tried finding the proper response "Yeah, yeah, no I'm good man, thanks I'm good"
"You sure?" Scott said "Cause the way you're sitting there says otherwise"
Peter opened his mouth then closed, then opened it again only to then hang his head in defeat.
"No, not really"
Scott only frowned, already having a feeling as to why the kid was so down.
"Kid come on in here" Scott waved his hand over
"What?" Peter's head perked up
"Come in to my workshop, come on" Scott said
Obliging, Peter scooted into the room and found himself in a large metal workshop.
"What is this place?" Peter found himself asking
"It's the forge" Scott said "Well a part of it. This is gonna be my classroom when the semester starts up"
"You're gonna be a teacher?" Peter asked in surprise "So it's true then? Captain and all of you guys are gonna be teaching?"
Scott chuckled "Yeah, I know right. The Avengers as school teachers…then again it is a school dedicated to training the literal next generation of what qualifies as a superhero on this world"
"Right" Peter was slightly downcast again "This world"
"I know the feeling" Scott said understandingly "A lot of us do. Who do you have back home?"
"Huh?"
"Back home" Scott repeated "I can tell by the way you look down. There's someone back home that you're worried about"
Peter was greatly surprised at just how easily the shrinking hero read him.
"How do you know that?" Peter found himself asking
Now Scott held a more depressed face, reaching into his interior pocket to pull out a small photo. Silently, he held it out for Peter to take which he did and saw Scott making a goofy face with young girl with an equally silly expression.
"My daughter, Cassie" Scott said fondly "Peanut…I've made a lot of mistakes in my life but everything I've ever done in my life, even becoming the Ant-man, it was all done for her"
Seeing that Peter held a bit of a kindred spirit with Scott, he reached into his interior hoodie pocket and pulled out his phone which was on its last few minutes of power.
He pulled up the pic he was looking for and showed it to him.
"My Aunt May" Peter said with a smile
It was a picture of her hugging him fiercely with a proud smile for her little nephew as he prepared for the homecoming dance prior to him coming here.
"That's your Aunt?!" Scott said aloud in slight disbelief "Jeez I thought that was your older sister or something"
"She's not that young…I mean old…I mean, Rah" Peter dragged a hand over his face "What is it with everyone talking about my Aunt?"
"I don't blame them" Scott said with a shrug, handing back the phone "So, Aunt huh? No parents?"
Peter looked solemn at the mention of his parents.
"They uh…they left me with my Aunt and Uncle when I was young" Peter said somberly "Uncle Ben told me they died not too long after that"
Scott didn't know how to respond to that. Judging from the way he mentioned this uncle Ben of his, it was clear that it was a bit of a touchy subject as well. So he decided to change the subject.
"So you're the Spider-boy then right?"
"What?" Peter blinked at the question "No, no. I'm Spider-man"
"Spider-man?" Scott said, a bit amused "You look like you're in high school"
"I am in high school"
Scott gaped a bit before shutting his mouth, remembering where he was.
"Well now you're in a school soon to be filled with super powered teenagers so who knows, you'll probably fit right in" Scott said
"About that" Peter rubbed the back of his head "I really don't know much about this place other than what Cap and that Oz guy told me"
"Yeah, It's a bit hard to explain in full really" Scott admitted "And to be honest, I don't think I'm the kind of guy to help in explaining this to you. Probably Ozzy is best suited for that"
A brief silence was shared between the two, when…
"So you're gonna be a teacher then?" Peter asked
"Mhmm" Scott nodded "Got a Master's degree in engineering and the tech here is pretty crazy. Check this out"
Scott slid off the metal plate on his shoulder and placed it onto his forehead which then snapped around his entire head to form his helmet followed by the rest of his suit.
"WHOA!" Peter exclaimed in awe "That's so awesome!"
"I know right?!" Scott said with equal excitement "Ah it never gets old and the helmet just…"
Pressing on the bottom right side of his helmet, the piece retracted into his suit leaving him only in his suit.
"That's too cool" Peter said giddily "Say, back in Germany, how did you grow so small and then so freakishly big"
"Now that is a bit of a long story" Scott stated, eyeing Pete upon realizing "Are you still in that onesie?"
"It's not a onesie" Peter said, now a bit whiny
Scene cut
"Where the hell did he go?" Sam said frustrated at the sudden disappearance of Peter for the past two hours
"He couldn't have gone far" Ozpin said reassuringly "The cameras have shown that none have left the premises"
"That we know of" Steve said, face scrunched up in concentration "He couldn't have gone far though. Wouldn't make sense of him to do so"
"Perhaps one of the others have seen him" Oz threw out there
"Maybe" Sam held up his wrist tac pad "You Pietro, come in this is Sam"
"What's up Sam?" Pietro answered with a grunt from his end
"You alright on your end?" Sam asked, befuddled by the speedsters sounds
"Just working out here with the old maGAH" Pietro sounded as though he got the wind knocked out from him
"What's the matter Pietro, you didn't see that coming?" Clint's taunting voice was heard now "What's up Sam? Something up?"
"Yeah we got ourselves a missing person case" Sam said
"It's Parker" Steve said to the archer
"Parker?" Clint repeated in momentary confusion "Oh right that Spider kid. He's missing?"
"Yeah, something like that" Sam said "We left him in our office for a bit but now he's gone. Have you seen him?"
"Fraid not" Clint said "Pietro and I have been down in the gym for an hour now. Amber and Wanda are out eating in Vale right now. They'll be back in a bit"
"Which leaves out Mister Lang only" Oz said
Steve sent out a call to Scott.
"Scott, come in"
No response
"Scott come in, it's Steve. We've got a bit of a situation"
Again, nothing.
The three men exchanged glances.
"Think he's working on something that he can't hear us?" Sam guessed
"Maybe" Steve said in a slight frown trying once more to receive nothing
"Let's go check up on him" Steve said and the other two followed after him
They reached the forge in a few minutes, hearing the sounds of metals and other objects at work moving and clanging against each other.
"Wonder what he's working on" Sam mused aloud
The trio soon entered to see Scott was not alone.
Right beside was their missing person who held an intense gaze of concentration, mixing together chemicals in a makeshift chemistry set. Within some of the vials were a weird gooey substance that Peter proceeded to prod with a metal rod. He pulled away revealing the substance was stuck to the metal. It was the webbing he used.
Right beside Peter was Scott, sitting on a bench at the table next to Peters.
Scotts expression was of one of a relaxed posture but the eyes held focus. He had a magnifying glass propped up in front of him to allow a more close up view of what appeared to be Peters web shooters. He held some tools that ran over the gauntlets, repairing any damages.
"Think we could reduce these shooters down by half their size" Scott said to Pete, not looking up from his work "Once you get the hang of the tech here then, we could really work our magic"
"Awesome, got a lot of webbing ideas now" Peter said excitedly, shaking a vial to stir up the mixture "Hey, you think that since you could talk to ants that I could also talk to Spiders to?"
"A year ago that would have been creepy and terrifying" Scott said, grazing over a dent "Now, not so much….well just so long as I don't have to look at all of their eyes"
The three men who entered stared at the scene with bewilderment and slight amusement.
"I think it's best we come back at a later time" Oz whispered to Sam and Steve with both nodding and they silently exited the area.
The two arthropod based superheroes remained none the wiser of the brief visit, solely focused on their tasks at hand.
And it was greatly needed by Peter as it was a good way for a momentary distraction from his current predicament.
"So I've been meaning to ask…" Scott said, glancing over to Pete "What happened to that more sleek suit you had on from last time?"
"That's…a bit of a long story"
Scene cut
Peter and Scott had a very productive day to say the least.
Thanks to the time they had along with the resources at their disposal, Peter managed to restock up a large supply of his web fluid while Scott helped in the starting phase of Peter's understanding of the tech that they had here.
He decided to leave his web shooters here for the time being so that next time, he could start from scratch in building web shooters better designed to fit this new crazy world.
It was strange to think that he'd made fast friends with a relative newcomer like himself who he had actually traded blows with not so long ago.
Stranger things have happened however.
After returning to the office where he was prior to being in the forge, he found Ozpin and Cap waiting for his return.
Ozpin greeted him politely and held out a file.
"Your papers for the academy, young man" Oz said simply "You are a special case student falling directly under the guidance of the Avengers in most regards save for every day school activities"
"Wha-What?" Peter stammered in confusion
"To put it plainly…" Steve cut in "Welcome to Beacon Academy kid. This universes version of a school for heroes"
Peter remained in place, face in a state of frozen befuddlement and shock.
"You have a lot to learn of this world, Mr. Parker" Ozpin said as a teacher would to a student "But you will learn in due course. Judging from your time spent with Mr. Lang, I could suffice to say that you'll be a quick study and adapt to this world with relative ease"
He then plopped a book into Peters hands who looked at the cover then at Ozpin in confusion.
"If there is a place to start, this would be a good one" Ozpin said, exiting the room a moment later
Peter remained still, trying to figure out what to do only to finally let out a sigh of resignation and looking to Cap for support.
Cap shrugged, feeling a bit lame here as he didn't have much to say.
"Come on" Steve said "I'll take you to your room"
"My room?" Peter said
"Yeah" Steve nodded "Since you're gonna be a student here, every student gets one"
The walk was relatively silent, with Peter feeling a bit awkward in being behind the man that Stark had recruited him to fight against. My how times quickly change.
"So…" Peter felt really weird right now in breaking the ice "Mr. Lang told me you're all gonna be teachers here"
"Yeah that came out of nowhere" Steve confirmed with a bemused smile at the thought of it "To be honest, it kind of came out of nowhere but the others convinced me in trying it out at the very least"
"And Professor Ozpin said I'm a specialty student?" Peter said
"You'll be under our watch" Steve clarified "While you will be learning alongside the other students here, you'll truly be put through our paces more often than not with us"
Peter had slight goosebumps at the thought of him being directly trained under Captain America and his group of Avengers as opposed to Tony Stark's indirect approach he had with him.
"Tomorrow, one of us will take you out into the city to get you some new clothes aside from the suit you have. You'll be getting a school uniform at the start of the semester" Steve continued on "Since you've met Scott and know him a lot more now, it'll be safe to say that he'll accompany you"
As he finished that statement, the two had arrived in front of Peters new dorm.
"This is your room" Steve said, gesturing for Peter to enter which he did.
"Whoa" Peter whispered, surprised at just how large his own dorm was
"This is your own Dorm" Steve said "What you choose to do with it in terms of making it your own is all up to you and you have a decent amount of time in doing so before the start of school"
It was Spartan-esque with a bed, drawers, bookshelf and small round table in the center of it all. There were already several books in the bookshelf and basic school supplies and a scroll on the bed awaiting him.
Ozpin moves very fast apparently.
"Thank you" Peter said sincerely "For everything. I know that I uh…didn't exactly meet you at the best of…"
Steve gestured his hand down to stop Peter
"It's alright Peter" Steve reassured "That was a different time and a different world as a matter of fact. All that matters right now is that we're all here and we'll find our way home in time"
Peter approached the bed, feeling a swelling of exhaustion starting to rise up.
"Feeling tired?" Steve asked with Peter pushing aside the items on his bed and flopping down onto it
"Figured as much" Steve said with a chortle "I'll leave you to relax then"
Peter just gave an appreciative grunt as Steve left the room.
The young web-head shifted around to get himself more comfortable and yet found himself unable to simply fall asleep.
Letting out a momentary groan, Peter's eyes snapped open with his head rising up to star at the foot of his bed. There was the book that Ozpin had given him that he had tossed aside when he laid down on his new bed.
Sitting up, Peter reached out and grabbed the book.
"Legends and history" Peter read aloud "The World of Remnant…ok, game guide aside"
Peter flipped open the book, reading the first several paragraphs
"Legends, Stories scattered through time" Peter internally read "Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the exploits of heroes and villains forgetting that we are Remnants, byproducts, of a forgotten past"
Peter read on, learning of the substance known as Dust, the creature Grimm and the basic rundown of Huntsmen and Huntresses as well as Aura. Eventually, Peter's eyes finally closed on him with the book slipping down to the floor.
The young hero snored the night away, unaware of just how crazy his life was to become. More so than the first time.
Scene cut
Several days later
It was night time in Vale with activity within the city slowing down as per usual.
Yet there would always be trouble around the corner.
The trouble being criminal extraordinaire Roman Torchwick being accompanied by a small contingent of men that were loaned out to him by club owner Junior. They walked through the streets of Vale with many civilians clearing a path for them in fright.
They walked their way to their destination which was a dust shop appropriately title From Dust Till Dawn.
Entering the Dust shop, Roman Torchwick approached the front clerk.
"Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a dust shop open this late?"
"Please, just take my Lien and leave" The old man behind the counter said fearfully
Roman only shushed the old man "Calm Down, we're not her for your Lien. Grab the Dust"
The henchmen that had accompanied Torchwick quickly began gathering the dust from the tubes on the wall to the crystals displayed in the glass.
All the while, Ruby Rose was on the far end of the store with her hood up, headphones blaring and head buried in the latest issue of Vales Weapons Weekly.
It wasn't until several moments later that at last, she was noticed by one of them.
Without hesitation the henchmen pulled out his sword and pointed it at her.
"Alright kid, put your hands where I can see them"
No response from Ruby
"Hey, I said put your hands in the air" The henchmen walked over to her "You've got a death wish or something kid?"
He placed a hand on her shoulder and whirled her around to face him. Her hood fell down to reveal the headphones she had on.
Gesturing to her ears, Ruby acquiesced with his silent demand and removed her headphones.
"Yes?"
"I said put your hands in the air now" The Henchmen demanded
"Are you…robbing me?" Ruby asked in confusion
"YES" The man exclaimed now aggravated
"Huh" Was all Ruby said
Roman awaited the rest of his men to gather up the dust when one of them was sent flying back right out the front door by an unseen force.
Casually glancing back, he gestured for another one of his men to handle the situation.
The man runs up to Ruby and points his gun at her.
Next thing he knew, Ruby had kicked him out the front glass display with her in tow.
Roman only stared in a deadpanned manner as he watched the young silver eyed girl pull out her weapon which happened to be a giant Scythe resting on her shoulder.
Ruby turned to face them with a smirk, twirling her Scythe around before it was embedded into the ground.
"Okaay~~~" Roman looked to his henchmen "Get her"
They ran right at after her. Ruby in response spun around on her Scythe and kicked several away. Landing she easily removed her scythe Crescent Rose off of the ground and fired a shot to spin and hit another henchmen with the butt of her weapon.
She spun her scythe and slammed it down upon another unfortunate criminal.
However before she could continue her fight, a circular disk had come flying out from the street on the end and smacked against the remaining henchmen's heads. They were all knocked out in an instant while the disk flew back after bouncing around some walls into the hands of its owner.
Ruby and Romans mouths dropped as the individual went up to stand beside the young rose.
"You know" Steve Rogers said, dressed in casual clothing "I was enjoying a nice dinner with a friend of mine when I started hearing loud a commotion not far from where I was. Lo and behold we've got a minor fighting an underworld criminal. Good thing carrying around your weapon is common place here"
Roman actually took a step back in fear, not foreseeing such a high end enemy appear so suddenly.
Luckily, he had come prepared this time around.
Ruby in the meantime was drooling and had literal stars for eyes at being in such close proximity to not only any ordinary hero but the Leader of the Avengers.
"C-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-Captain!" Ruby Stuttered in a star-struck gaze
"Hmmm?" Steve glanced down to her, eyes narrowing in analysis.
Taking not of her getup and weapon, it was easy to deduce who this was. Qrow had boasted her several times already and two of his teammates had met the young lady.
"Ruby Rose, right?" Steve correctly guessed
Ruby's eyes widened to the size of saucers, hyperventilating for a few good seconds before letting out an ear piercing fan-girl scream.
Steve and Roman winced at the volume and ringing of Ruby's squeal. All the while, particles shifted about on the ground, converging on a spot behind both Steve and Ruby.
Cap took notice and grabbed Ruby while jumping away from the large sand fist that smashed down on where they stood.
Looking back to Roman, Steve saw that he was gone.
Quickly looking around, Steve spotted the criminal climbing up a ladder to a rooftop. His instincts kicked, jumping away in time and throwing his shield at the large sand mace directed at him.
All the while, Ruby herself had caught sight of Romans attempt at escape and moved to pursue the criminal.
Torchwick moved quickly across the rooftop when from behind he heard Ruby yell out to him.
"Persistent" He murmured in irritation.
Down below, Cap was ducking and dodging the multiple sand limbs that were being directed at him all the while trying to spot Flint Marko who he knows must be nearby somewhere. With his enhanced and trained eyes, Cap managed to follow a trail of Sand leading up to a rooftop adjacent to the one Torchwick had gone to.
Flint immediately saw that Cap had spotted him and let off on his attacks instead opting to run away. Steve was about to pursue the criminal when he heard the roaring sounds of a bullhead engine far up on the building where Roman escaped to.
On said rooftop, Ruby could only look on as Roman ascended up into the air.
"End of the line Red" Roan said tauntingly, throwing a red dust crystal towards her.
The dust crystal then exploded in a violent display making Roman laugh maniacally. It was cut short when he noticed a purple circle that had seemingly shielded the young girl from the blast.
Behind it was none other than Glynda Goodwitch who directed her crop at the bullhead with a dozen purple beams being shot at it.
Roman stumbled within the bullhead quickly making his way to the pilot.
"We've got a huntress and an Avenger situation" Roman stated
Cinder who was piloting the bullhead quickly got up with her arms glowing while Roman took the lever
Though she had been hoping to gain the powers of the Fall Maiden up to this point, she still had her own power her Master Salem had helped in developing.
Glynda noticed the Bullhead steadying itself in the air. Channeling her power, Glynda fired a purple sphere which exploded into a forming thundercloud. Swinging her crop down, hails of ice shards rained down upon the transport with one narrowly missing Roman's head.
Cinder in the meantime called upon her own power and sent a fiery blast at the huntress. It was at this moment that Steve Rogers had entered the fray, jumping in front of his friend. The attack bounced off his shield, splattering around them.
Cinder raised her hand and the two noticed the residue glowing. With great speed, the two dodged the explosion that erupted from the glowing attack with Steve hurling his shield with all of his might at the ship.
Glynda also prepped an attack, summoning the rubble of the previous one and forming a spear. Caps shield bounced off the side of the bullhead, leaving a sizeable dent in its wake as it returned to its owner. Glynda then sent her spear at the bullhead.
Cinder in response fired back to destroy the projectile only for it to reform and continue on its trajectory. The spear was just about to his the jet when Roman managed to pilot the ship into a lean with the pieces scratching up the top and damaging one of the side engines.
Glynda made the remaining shards reform into arrows all aimed at the ship when Cinder called upon the gift bestowed upon her by Salem and expunged a sickly black shockwave that destroyed Glynda's makeshift weapons.
She then sent a powerful torrent of energy that the blond huntress deflected albeit with some difficulty due to its power.
Some of it was so chaotic and dangerous that it crackled around Glynda's shield.
Had it not been for Steve's quick movements and shield, several of them would have hit Ruby.
That was all that was needed in allowing Cinder and Roman to escape.
Letting out an annoyed sigh, Glynda glanced over to Steve who still had his shield up at the ready just in case and then over to Ruby who had her eyes widened to near impossible odds.
Mouth agape with slight drool coming out at the thought of being a mere few inches from Steve Rogers, Ruby shakily held up her hands to her face.
"C-c-can I-I have Y-your Autograph?" Ruby asked Steve in pure adulation
Steve quirked a brow in bemusement, glancing over to Glynda who was clearly not amused.
Ruby then finds herself in a type of interrogation room and was in the process of being scolded profusely by Goodwitch with Steve looking on sympathetically.
"I hope you realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly young lady" Glynda said sharply "You put yourself and others in danger"
"They started it" Ruby protested albeit feebly
Steve let out a silent huff of a chuckle getting eyed by the blond Huntress. He only shrugged in a way of saying 'she's not wrong'. Glynda only rolled her eyes, walking in front of Ruby.
"If it were up to me, you'd be sent home with a pat on the back…"
Ruby smiled hopefully.
"And a slap on the wrist" She slapped her wand in front of Ruby making the young girl flinch back with an 'Eek'.
"But…There is someone who would like to meet you" Glynda resigned.
Stepping aside, Ozpin entered the room with mug of coffee in hand and a large plate of cookies in the other.
"Ruby Rose" Ozpin greeted, leaning in to inspect her "You…have silver eyes"
Steve looked over to Glynda, hoping to get an answer as to why that was important.
Glynda only shook her head in a manner conveying that she'll tell him later.
"So" Ozpin said, gesturing his head behind him where Glynda held up a scroll displaying camera footage of Ruby's actions earlier in the night "Where did you learn to do this?"
"S-Signal Academy" Ruby answered
"They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?' Ozpin inquired
"Well, one teacher in particular" Ruby admitted
Ozpin then slides the cookies in front of her. Tentatively, Ruby eats one whole and upon seeing that there were no negative repercussions began to scarf down the sweets at a rapid pace.
Steve looked on in morbid fascination at the lightning fast rate of which Ruby consumed the cookies.
"It's just that I've only seen one other scythe-wielder of that skill before" Ozpin said "A dusty old crow"
"Thaf ma Uncfe Qwow" Ruby said through her stuffed mouth
Roger couldn't help with the chuckle that escaped out of him making the young girl blush profusely in embarrassment. Inhaling dramatically, Ruby gulped down the cookies and cleared her throat.
"Sorry. That's my Uncle Qrow" She said more clearly this time "He's teacher at Signal. I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing. Now I'm all like Hyah WATCHA YA"
The more she spoke the more Steve found himself growing fond of the young Rose. There was an innocence to her that resonated with him and he found her childish antics greatly amusing.
"So I've noticed" Ozpin said "And what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?"
"Well…I want to be a Huntress" Ruby said determinedly
"And why exactly do you want to become a Huntress?" Steve asked, speaking to her for the first time since the earlier skirmish
Ruby turned crimson at the fact that Steve Rogers was addressing her with steam coming of her face.
"You want to slay monsters?" Ozpin asked
"Yeah" Ruby nodded "I only have 2 more years left of training at Signal and then I'm going to apply at beacon. You see my sisters starting there this year and she's trying to become a Huntress and I'm trying to become a Huntress cause I wanna help people. And my parents always taught us to help others so hey, I thought, why not make a career out of it"
Ruby's excitement seemingly grew as she continued to talk.
"I mean the police are alright and all but Huntsmen and Huntresses are just so much more romantic and exciting and really, GOSH, you know"
Glynda maintained her unmoving expression while Steve gave her a nod of approval which made her internally squeal.
"Do you know who I am?" Ozpin asked
"You're Professor Ozpin" Ruby said respectfully "You're the headmaster of Beacon"
"Hello" He said simply
"Nice to meet you" Ruby said
"You want to come to my school?" Ozpin asked seriously
"More than anything" Ruby answered with complete honesty
Ozpin looked over to Glynda who only rolled her eyes letting out an indifferent 'hmph' before turning to Steve who shrugged as a way of saying 'your choice'.
"Well Okay then" Oz stated
Ruby's eyes widened with jubilation.
Soon enough, Ruby was back on her way home.
Steve and Glynda personally escorted her back and were currently returning to Beacon.
"Romantic and exciting and Gosh" Steve repeated with a smirk
"You would like that, wouldn't you?" Glynda wryly
"She's got heart and spirit" Steve said
"It appears that you seem to be running into those types of people more and more these past few weeks" Glynda noted "I hope you're not doing this intentionally Steve"
"Glynda" Steve said knowingly "You know that I'm not. These things just happen"
She only shook her head, a small smile gracing her lips.
"Steven Rogers" Glynda remarked "Sometimes you surprise me"
"How?"
"You just do"
Ruby meanwhile was walking back home, completely giddy and ecstatic.
She was going to Beacon two years ahead of anyone else. And on top of that, tonight she had met Captain Steve Rogers, leader of the Avengers. This night couldn't get any better.
With a jump of pure joy and whoop of happiness, Ruby could barely contain her excitement.
She was so excited, Ruby failed to notice the small note that fell out from her pocket.
Letting out a breath of elation, Ruby looked down at the ground with a smile before frowning in confusion at the folded piece of paper.
Picking it up, she opened up the note and froze.
To the young aspiring Huntress and hero to be
Your future teacher, Steve Rogers
I look forward to your future as a huntress
And beneath it was detailed sketch of scythe over his shield.
Ruby began hyperventilating at the thought of getting an autograph from Steve Rogers so much so that she inhaled an ungodly amount of air….
Scene cut
Yang was relaxing in her bed, casually watching a movie on her scroll with a glass bottle of soda in hand.
She snorted at a funny part shown in the movie while moving her hand to take a sip of her drink.
Suddenly, a low volume high pitch noise was heard and less than a second later, Yang's glass bottle shattered along with a myriad of other glass related objects following the same unfortunate fate or at best received cracks.
"Holy fuck!" Yang exclaimed in total bewilderment and astonishment
"YANG"
Tai-Yang, father of Ruby and yang called out from downstairs.
"Dad" Yang yelled back "What the hell just happened?!"
"I don't know sweetie, but whatever it is, the whole damn neighborhood is affected" Tai-Yang "Yes Ms. Saph, we got hit to"
Yang could only look around her room, trying to make heads or tails as to what in the hell just happened.

New Avengers Facility
To say that Tony Stark, self-professed genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist was in a somber mood would be putting it lightly.
For the past two days he had been repeatedly watching only one thing.
The cargo plane filled with Avengers tech go down onto the beach of Coney Island where Spider-man had apparently intervened in making sure that the contents within were not stolen.
Apparently that vulture flying guy that the kid had warned about earlier came after his tech again only this time he was brought down by Spider-man.
Tossing away the tablet, Tony placed both elbows onto his desk and let out a shaky breath. Resting his head into his hands, Tony felt his left hand in particular begin to bother him again as it has been doing for quite some time now.
Once again, he found himself failing.
Yet this one was familiar to him as it cut deep into him personally like the sundering of the Avengers did those many months ago.
He felt the heavy weight in his heart increase tenfold. This was a side that he did not truly show most times but at this moment, he couldn't hold it back.
So many thoughts of guilt and inattentiveness ran through his head. His handling of young Parker, how he should have been more hands on or hands off. How he perhaps shouldn't have taken away the suit from a kid who just wanted to do right by others and live up to the standard that the kid held about him.
Remorse was coursing deeply through him and Tony loathed it.
It seemed as though the more he tried to do at times, the more he failed in spectacular fashion.
Now he had to contend with the fact that a young boy not even of age is gone and may as be dead and that he will have to be the one to tell his Aunt of his disappearance.
He himself had inspected the site of the crash personally and the one thing he found was some unusual energy source that was mixed in with the energy permeating from his arc reactors before the explosion that claimed Peter Parker.
Vision and Rhodey had been investigating these strange occurrences, not gaining much results as they have been cropping up more and more in an inconsistent pattern.
Tony slumped back into his chair, eyeing one particular item on his desk.
The phone Steve had left with him after their falling out.
He had no idea as to where his old friends may be after Steve had busted them out from the Raft.
Clint has appeared to have completely gone off the radar with Cap as had that shrinking/growing Ant-guy since they had not returned to their families.
'What was his name again?' Tony's name wandered over to Ant-man 'Scott Shang? No, Scott Lang….Yeah that's the one. He said something about Hank Pym'
That was a name he hadn't heard in a while.
Regardless, right now however, Tony's thoughts returned to that of Peter.
"Oh man, his Aunt is gonna murder me"
And there we have it.
