Hey guys, back with this one and I know it's been a while but I've been busy, needed the hiatus and break allowing me to focus on one single story but I'm back for this one
So first of all, I took a break from this story during several things that had occurred the past few months.
Let's begin with the first topic.
Alright so Captain Marvel….yeah that movie legit bored the shit out of me. It wasn't as exciting as I'd hope it would be but A. It's her first outing….but then again Doctor Strange and Black Panther made WAY better first impressions in their first films. So I will be making some major alterations to the film overall within this story to make Carol more relatable and likable cause honestly she was barely likable in her own film. I think the best way to describe Captain Marvel is that it's a Phase 1 MCU film coming out in Phase 3. Phase 3 which has had a stellar stack of movies like Civil War, Doctor Strange, Spider-man Homecoming, Thor Ragnarok, Black Panther and Infinity War. I really liked Ant-Man and the Wasp and same with GOTG volume 2. Captain Marvel was just….Meh.
However, ENDGAME WAS FUCKING SPECTACULAR. WOOOOOOOOOOOO. THAT'S HOW YOU CAP EVERYTHING OFF BABY. THAT'S AN ENDING AND THERE'S STILL SO MUCH MORE. MORE MORE MORE I SAY.
Second, Pairing is still up in the air as I keep counting Ruby and Yang are pretty close to one another so again, we shall see.
But really, there is nothing else other than let's get this show on the road.
Rate Read and Review and as Always Have Nice Day
Avenging Remnant Chapter 24: Strays and School Days
Peter Parker sat within his room, fiddling with one of his web shooters. He was implementing a new feature that he had yet to place in taking inspiration from his suit that Mr. Stark had given him when he felt a presence looming over his shoulders.
"Whatcha makin?" Asked a goggle wearing Ruby Rose.
"Just some modifications to my web shooters." Peter answered. "Web grenade."
"Oh." Ruby said in wonder, her lens enlarged eyes blinking with interest. "Web grenade? What'll that do?"
"We'll find out when I could test it out properly. If it'll do what I hope it does." Peter said, holding up the device for momentary inspection.
"Which is?"
Peter gave Ruby a bit of a flat look. "Ruby. It's a web grenade. What do grenades do when you throw them?"
"Well they blow up and- OH~ I see what you're doing now." Ruby said in realization.
Peter only gave her a small smirk of approval before going back to his web shooters.
"Hey Pete, is this right?" Jaune Arc, Leader of team JNPR held out a large glass cup filled with web fluid.
"Whoa, nice job Jaune." Pete praised, taking the cup out of his hand. "This is exactly right."
"Heh, thanks." Jaune grinned bashfully, holding up a set of papers.
Two weeks had passed since their class trip into the Forever Fall.
School had passed by as per usual while the promotion of the Vytal Festival was well underway. In that time, the teams of RWBY and JNPR had hung out on several occasions though one person seemed to be missing half the time.
One who wasn't a part of either team but nonetheless was a part of this group of friends. So during these two weeks Jaune and Ruby went to see what Peter was up to most of the time, discovering his near constant work on his equipment with the help of Professor Lang at times.
At first they wanted to pull him away from said work, but then realized that they too had become interested in what he does because both found a mutual interest in Peter's work.
Jaune had found himself intrigued on how to make this web formula mixtures that Peter makes by hand and while he doesn't understand the chemistry nor the other elements that go into such a procedure when putting the method in a manner like, say, cooking ingredients and recipes, the young Arc was quick on the uptake.
"Being raised with so many sisters makes ya pick up a talent or two." Jaune explained once to Peter. "Like becoming a good cook."
Ruby was a natural in certain regards when it comes to tech upgrades and modifications as she made her personal "Baby", her Crescent Rose by hand.
She had really been taken in by Peter's natural affinity towards technology and had asked him to show her how he does such a thing. Peter gladly obliged, actually showing her a few rough blueprints on his ideas of advancing his suit and equipment and even some ideas that can help in advancing their own stuff for both teams.
The trio decided on making this a secret and semester end surprise for the teams as they had been working diligently together.
Back to the present time, Peter and Jaune began storing the new webbing that the blond leader had made within cartridges while Ruby goofed around with the oversized goggles on Pete's bed.
"Big, small, big, small." Ruby idly murmured hands on the out layer the goggles, widening and shrinking the size of her eyes through the lenses.
Peter was packing away the rest of his tools while Jaune sat down, leaning on Peter's bed reading a comic book he pulled out from his backpack.
It was relatively silent in the room save for Ruby's childish murmurings and Peter putting away his equipment yet it was comfortable. Nothing needed to be said.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
Peter blinked, looking to his door. He turned back to Jaune and Ruby who were relatively unphased with Jaune only momentarily looking up from his comic only to shrug at the web-head. Ruby had yet to notice as she was having her own little brand of fun by zooming in on a fly buzzing around next to the ceiling.
"It's open." Peter called out to the door.
The handle turned and the door swung open to reveal a grinning Yang.
"There you guys are." Yang said animatedly. "We were wondering where the three of you all ran off to."
"We?" Jaune inquired.
"Yeah we silly." Nora Valkyrie popped out from behind Yang, waving her arms around ecstatically.
Yang and Nora stepped in and from behind them came the rest of teams RWBY and JNPR.
"Hey everybody." Ruby cheerfully greeted them, sitting up from the bed with her eyes enlarged.
"Ruby, what you all doing here?" Weiss asked expectantly. "You do remember we were supposed to go out into the city today, don't you?"
"We were?" Jaune and Peter said at the same time. "For what?"
"It's her excuse for scouting out the competition for the Vytal Festival." Blake bluntly stated, reading her personal favorite book all the while.
Weiss looked on in an affronted manner. "I'll have you know that is not what I had in mind when I called on for us to spend time in the city."
"So shopping and scouting then?" Yang asked with a sly grin.
"I will neither confirm nor deny that heinous accusation." Weiss said with finality, crossing her arms and looking away from the others. Yet when looking back, the heiress saw the bland looks she was receiving. "Shut up!"
"We didn't say anything." Peter commented.
"I can hear it from your eyes."
Ruby and Nora soon shared a confused expression.
"I don't know if one could hear from people's eyes, Weiss." Spoke the scythe wielder.
"Maybe one could." Nora said before releasing a gasp. "Oh! We should find out if we could!"
Ren merely shook his head from his childhood friend's antics as always.
"Ok Ice queen, take a chill pill and let's just go to Vale." Yang said while Weiss only scowled comically.
"I am not an Ice Queen!" Weiss said, her voice tone going up a pitch.
"Come back to us when you have a warmer personality." Peter absent mindedly said, earning a giggle from the hand to hand fighter in the room.
"Good one, Peter."
"Come on guys." Pyrrha said aloud. "We've got the weekend off. Might as well go to the city and enjoy our free time."
"Not to mention being cooped up in the dorms is not good for one's health." Ren added in as he walked out of the room with others following suit.
Vale City
The teens were now walking the streets of a more decorated Vale, with the stores, buildings, lamp posts and so on representing the coming festival. Various colored streamers and balloons were being put up in advance before things got busy for the revolving businesses. Even one shopkeeper hanging up a sign saying "WELCOME TO VALE!" for all tourists and foreign students from their respective homes around Remnant.
Weiss was leading the large group, taking in the sights with an excited anticipated and awe.
"Ah~ the Vytal Festival." Weiss said with glee. "A celebration of the cultures of the world with parades, dances and the tournament! This is a momentous occasion."
"How is it that you managed to make the Vytal Festival so drab and boring." Yang said dryly.
"Yeah and no offense Weiss, but your smiling is really starting to weird me out." Ruby admitted, rubbing the back of her head.
The corporate heiress glared at the sisters in her team before releasing a huff. "How could you not smile? This is our opportunity to show the world what we're made of!"
"Kinda reminds me of My Hero Academia now that you mention it." Peter idly commented.
"Sorry, what?"
"Something for another time." He quickly excused himself.
"So then why are we going to the Docks?" Jaune asked aloud, eating some candy they had gotten on the way.
"I'd rather not smell like fish." Ren murmured, momentarily brushing his freshly shampooed hair.
At the mention of fish, Blake's cat-like ears twitched underneath her bow.
'Mmm~ fish~' Thought the Faunus before looking around. 'Wonder if I could find a good stall selling a good bunch.
"Ergh fish." Nora scrunched up her nose. "Ren, never mix pancakes with fish."
"I never intended on doing such a thing." Ren promised.
"There's a lot more ships here than usual." Pyrrha noted, staring out at every dock that seems to be completely occupied by sailing vessels. "That one's from Mistral actually." She then pointed towards one coming towards them. "And I believe that one's from Atlas."
"Ah, so this is where Weiss can scout out the competition." Yang surmised. "Makes sense."
"First of all, you don't know that." Weiss said defensively. "As students of Beacon, I believe it is our duty to welcome other students from other schools with a warm grace and professionalism . Or who knows, it could be because many throughout Remnant wants to personally see the Avengers."
"Quite the valid argument." Blake commented before adding her two cents. "You must have prepared quite the list of excuses for scouting out potential opponents."
Weiss's eye twitched, grumbling to herself and ignoring the snickering from her friends.
"Yikes, what happened here?"
Everyone in the group turned to see Ruby standing in front of a store that had yellow police taped around the area where the front glass windows were shattered.
In front of the store were two detectives jotting down notes on personal notepads while investigating the area. One of the detectives noticed the students standing there.
"Can I help you kids?" he asked politely.
"What happened here officer?" Pyrrha asked respectfully.
He eyed them all momentarily. "You kids all students from Beacon?"
Each of them gave their respective responses, confirming them being from Beacon.
"Well, this about the second Dust robbery this week." The first detective stated with a tired sigh. "Damn city's turning into a jungle."
"That's terrible." Yang sadly sighed.
"Though it doesn't make a lick of sense." Spoke the second detective.
"On what?"
"The money is all still here." Answered the second detective with befuddlement. "And this ain't the first time. Least it wasn't O'hirn or Marko but that don't make it any easier on who could've taken it. Who needs that much Dust anyway?"
"Hell if I know. An army?"
"You thinking the White Fang?"
His partner rubbed the bridge of his nose at this. "Yeah~ I'm thinking we don't get paid enough for this mess."
At the mention of the White Fang, Weiss huffed in complete spite. "The White Fang? I thought they couldn't stoop any lower, then again, they are the biggest bunch of degenerates I'd ever had the displeasure of hearing about." She said before thinking to herself. 'Not to mention being taken by them.'
Blake's ears twitched, eyes narrowing. "And what's That supposed to mean?"
"What do you think it means?" Weiss asked like what she was saying was obvious to see. "What I mean to say is I have very little sympathy for the criminally insane."
"What's your problem with them?" Blake asked more aggressively suddenly. "The White Fang is hardly a bunch of psychopaths. They're just a collection of misguided Faunus."
"Misguided? They want to wipe humanity off of the face of Remnant. I'd hardly call that misguided." Weiss argued back.
"So then they're very misguided. Either way, it doesn't explain why they would rob a Dust shop in the middle of downtown Vale!"
"Well, Blake's not wrong." Ruby said, recalling a certain incident a few months back. "I ran into that Roman criminal guy and he still hasn't been caught in months. Maybe it was him, the police haven't caught him yet last I heard."
"That still doesn't change the fact that the White Fang are a bunch of scum." Said the heiress, much to Blake's growing anger. "Those Faunus only know how to lie, cheat and steal."
All the while, Yang, Peter and JNPR stood on the sidelines watching all this go down and all were feeling rather awkward.
"Kinda feels like we're third wheels right now, aren't we?" Peter remarked literally feeling the tension grow between the heiress and bow tied Huntresses with Ruby in the middle trying to play peacemaker.
"No kidding."
Coming to her partner's defense, Yang spoke up. "That's not necessarily true, Weiss…"
"Hey! Stop that Faunus!"
The group overheard the cry for help and quickly turned to see two sailors chasing after a blond haired Faunus who was running down the pier.
The blond teen proved to be extremely agile as he jumped atop a lamp post and stayed atop there with the sailors glaring up at him. The boy had a golden haired tail which had itself wrapped around a banana.
"Thanks for the ride, guys." He cheerfully said, peeling his fruit.
"You no-good stowaway." One of the Sailors shouted up at him.
Hanging from a lamp post with his monkey tail, the Faunus spoke in a cocky tone. "Hey! A no-good stowaway would've been caught! I'm a great stowaway!"
The blond teen cocked his head out of the way in time to avoid a pebble being thrown at him. Giving the sailor who threw that a flat look, he promptly dropped the banana peel onto the sailors face.
Grinning, the kid leapt off and sprinted away with the two sailors pursuing after him.
Climbing up the stairs, he ran right by the group of friends from Beacon.
As he passed by Blake however, both of their perspectives seemed to slow down. Blake noticed the boys eyes move up to her bow before he grinned knowingly, winking a second later and dashed off.
Watching the Faunus getting farther and farther away from them, Peter turned to Weiss. "Well~ you wanted to see the competition. There goes one of them."
"He's fast, Mr. Parker." Yang spoke in an old timey voice. "Quite the competition we face."
"QUICK! WE HAVE TO OBSERVE HIM!"
"And not the stalkerish kind!"
"Nora."
"Shut up, you!"
"Race ya!" Yang challenged the web slinger.
Wearing a cocky smirk, he quickly attached his web shooters. "You're on!"
The nine teenagers ran after Weiss with Yang and Peter behind her in their small little contest.
Rounding about a corner, that warning sense that Peter had gets went off a bit making him grab Weiss suddenly and hold out his hand which was now holding back another person.
Everyone blinked at the rather sudden stop of them running and Weiss looked to Peter, then his arm and then the shoulder of said person his hand was on.
"Sal-u-tations!" A young, orange haired teen that appeared to be around their age greeted boisterously.
"Um… Hello." Weiss said awkwardly to the girl who was quite literally an inch away from her face. "Do you… mind stepping back a bit?"
The girls tilted her head in thought before smiling brightly. "Not at all."
Getting a better inspection of her, the group saw her wearing a whitish-grey old fashioned blouse with short grey feminine overalls, as well as a black and green collar with a matching pair of stockings. Strapped onto her back was a small backpack, yet there were no signs of any straps at all. And on top of her orange hair lied a pink bow tied onto the back.
"Are you ok?" Peter asked. "I didn't hurt you or anything when I stopped you, did I?"
The new arrival looked at Peter with her green eyes and responded with a beaming smile. "I am perfectly well." The orange haired girl soon saluted him. "My name is Penny Polendina! It is a pleasure to meet you all!"
"She's hyper." Jaune murmured to Ren who had a rather comical expression of slight dread.
"No..." He whispered. "She's another-"
"Well I'm Nora Valkyrie." The hammer swinger introduced herself to her fellow orange haired teen, shaking her hands rapidly.
"...If she's more energetic, I would say the two were related." Pyrrha remarked.
"They are quite similar if you think about it." Jaune said, rubbing his chin in observation of the two.
"I'd rather not."
"Sensational." Penny said before turning to the others. "And you are…"
"Oh, I'm Ruby Rose." The scythe wielder said.
"Yang, nice to meet you."
"Blake."
"Weiss, a pleasure."
"Peter Parker."
"We're her teammates. I'm Jaune Arc."
"Ren, Nora's caretaker."
"And I'm Pyrrha."
"Sensational!"
"...You already said that." Yang pointed out.
"...So I did! It is just so wonderful to meet so many new faces."
Weiss stepped up and gave a small apologetic bow. "Still sorry about running into you. Well almost really. Thanks Peter."
As the others walked away, Ruby and Nora turned and waved goodbye. "Take care, friend!"
"Wear that hair proudly, sister!"
Ruby and Nora rejoined the others a moment later.
"Well she was… weird…" Yang said
Glancing all over, the corporate heiress voiced her thoughts. "Now where did that Faunus riff-raff run off to?"
"Will you stop that?" Blake asked in a bland tone.
Before Weiss could respond back, she ended up bumping into someone. She then composed herself and was about to apologize but jumped in surprise when seeing Penny standing right in front of her.
Weiss looked back and forth in shock from where they last saw her and she wasn't the only one in the group to do so.
"H-How'd you-"
"What did you call me?"
Weiss blanched a bit. "O-Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't think you could hear-"
"No, not you."
Yang pointed to herself, thinking if Penny meant her.
"Not you as well."
"Then who?" Peter asked.
"You two." Penny declared, staring at Nora and Ruby.
Ruby and Nora looked at each other before speaking in synch. "Us?"
"Yes, you called me your friend." Penny looked at Nora. "And you called me your sister. Do you two truly value me as such?"
Both girls looked over Penny's shoulders to see Weiss, Yang and Blake shaking their heads in the negative, Ren looking a bit paler suddenly, Pyrrha with slight amusement while Peter and Jaune only shrugged.
Suddenly, Nora started sniffling. "Oh I-I would be s-so happy to have you a-as my sister!" The hammer wielder then glomped Penny and rubbed her cheek against hers. "I never had a sibling before!"
"Neither have I!" Penny exclaimed, hugging Nora back with equal strength; if not more.
"Uh…" Ruby was unsure of what to say here. "I guess soWHOA"
Ruby was then pulled into the hug by Penny who smothered her to the point of choking.
"H-HeLP m-ME!"
"Can you let my sister go?" Yang asked, chuckling a bit. "I'd rather not see her suffocate to death. Technically that's my job."
"YANG." Ruby whined.
"Apologies." Penny said boisterously. "I… I have just never gotten a friend and a sister in such sudden fashion. It is a wonderful experience! Now I have those I can go shopping with, paint nails, and talk about cute boys!"
"Definitely!" Nora spoke in similar volume. "Though I don't know about…" she briefly looked at Ren "certain things."
Jaune nudged Ren on the shoulder with a grin though he remained unmoved.
"Oh no." Ruby bemoaned, looking to Weiss. "Was I just like this when we first met?"
"No… she seems far more coordinated."
"Coordinated?" Peter repeated. "That's what you go with?"
"It was the first thing that popped into mind, don't judge me."
"So…" Pyrrha drew Penny's attention. "What are you doing in Vale? You don't seem to be a native."
"That I am not." Penny confirmed smiling all the while as she and Nora began to sway back and forth for some reason. "I am here for the tournament."
Weiss did a double take on the response. "Wait, you're fighting in the tournament?"
"Indeed." Penny confirmed. "I am Combat-ready!"
The heiress held up her hands. "Forgive me on this, but you hardly look the part."
Blake snorted. "Says the girl wearing a dress."
Weiss took offense to this by crossing her arms. "I have you know it's a combat skirt!"
Ruby and Nora zoomed over to her and backed her up.
"YEAH!" Both declared with Weiss holding out both her hands for them to low-five her.
Realization soon hit the white-haired teen. "Wait a minute." Walking over to Penny and grasped her shoulders. "If you're here for the tournament, does that mean you know that monkey tailed… rapscallion?"
Penny tilted her head in confusion. "The who-?"
"We're still on that?" Peter whispered to Jaune who only shook his head.
"I think she's just clumping them all together at this point."
Weiss was unaware of their little conversation, still focused on her own matter.
Out of nowhere, Weiss pulled out a sheet of paper as it had a crude drawing of the Faunus the group saw earlier. "This filthy Faunus from the boat!"
"How'd she do that so quickly?"
"I thought I was the only one!" Nora cheerfully said before gasping. "Are we truly related?!"
"Could it be?!" Penny and Nora began jumping together in a spinning circle, holding each other's hands with childish glee.
It was at this point Ren massaged his temple and breathed in deeply. "This is some sort of waking nightmare." He muttered under his breath.
Ignoring the odd… moment happening, Blake glared at the Schnee heiress. "Why do you keep saying that?!"
Weiss turned over to the secret Faunus of team RWBY with a questioning look. "Saying what?"
"That!" Blake said more forcefully. "All those names and terms. Rapscallion, criminal, crook, degenerate. He's a person."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Would you like me to stop referring to the trash can as a trash can and this lamp post as a lamp post?" Weiss asked condescendingly.
"Stop it" Blake said, anger now clear to see something that didn't exactly sit well with some of the others.
"Stop what exactly? He clearly broke the law. Give him time; he'll probably join up with those other Faunus in the White Fang!"
"Weiss, that's not fair and you know it." Pyrrha said in a displeased tone.
"You ignorant little brat." Blake all but growled, turning to walk away
"Whoa." Peter said in surprise. "That escalated."
"Blake." Ruby said aloud in stunned silence at the venom from her teammates tone.
Weiss looked outright offended, causing her to follow after Blake's retreating form. "How dare you talk to me like that! I am your teammate!"
"And you, are a judgmental little girl with a narrow view of the world." Blake hissed back.
That actually genuinely angered Weiss who grit her teeth. "What in the world makes you say that?"
"The mere fact that you would sort that Faunus boy with a terrorist group solely based on his species makes you just as much of a scoundrel as you believe him to be!"
It was at this point Yang moved up to her sister who was equally uncomfortable as herself. "I don't know about you, but I think we should go…"
Popping up from behind Ruby, Penny smiled alongside her newfound sister. "Where are we going?"
"Yeah, where?"
"Nora." Ren said firmly, giving her look telling her that now was not the time for her usual brand of crazy.
All the while, Pyrrha walked over to Ruby placing a hand on her shoulder. "We should break this up. They're causing a bit of a scene."
True to the Minstrel champion's words, there was a bit of a small gaggle of people who were staring at the two arguing girls whose voice were elevating to near shouting levels.
That was easier said than as the two were not about to just let this argument go so easily as both had a personal perspective from their lives.
The argument between them both went well into the night to the point where they were now back in their dorms at night time still on the same subject.
"So you admit it! The White Fang is just a radical group of terrorists!"
"That's not what I meant and you know it!"
Outside, team JNPR along with Peter could only cringe at one another as they both heard the yelling from the hallway and probably even their dorms.
"Yeah…" Peter rubbed the back of his head. "Do you guys wanna come hangout at my room till this all simmers down?"
"I think we would like that, very much." Jaune said appreciatively, him and his team following after Peter.
Back with team RWBY, Blake and Weiss were not letting up against each other.
"I don't understand why this of all things, is cause such a problem with you."
"That's just it." Blake said heatedly "That is the problem!"
"You realize you are defending an organization that hates Humanity as a whole, don't you?" The Faunus of the White Fang are pure evil!"
Blake was sitting on her bed now sprung to her feet.
"There's no such thing as pure evil, Weiss! Why do you think they hate Humanity so much? It's because of people like Cardin, people like you, that force the White Fang to take such drastic measures!"
"People like me?!" Weiss said in disbelief. "What did I ever do to the White Fang other than have the last name of Schnee?!"
"You're discriminatory!"
"I'M A VICTIM!" Weiss bellowed out before hanging her head down low. "You want to know why I despise them so much? Why I don't particularly trust the Faunus?"
Grinding her teeth to contain her fury, she glared hatefully at Blake. "Ever since I was a girl, as far back as I can remember, the White Fang hung over my family like a plague that never let up. We've been at war, yes, actual war with the White Fang. Actual death threats, bloodshed and violence. Do you know what it was like having the news dropped to me to know that people I had at one point grew up with were suddenly gone? Family friends vanishing, board members found dead. Babysitters! People even remotely associated with us were targets. It was not an easy childhood, Blake, with your father coming home furious at yet another crop of our Dust getting stolen or mine destroyed."
"Weiss-" Ruby moved to comfort her friend only for the heiress to pull herself away.
"And until recently, I thought I… would've been physically safe from them."
This made the others curious on what Weiss meant by this.
"It happened before the school year started. I didn't know it really happened until I woke up with my sister looming over my head. She feared for my safety and I was completely out of the loop as to what went on. That was until I found out that… that I was drugged and taken by them."
Yang's eyes widened in complete and utter shock with Ruby sharing a similar expression, clapping her hands over her mouth. Blake looked visibly shaken, paling a great deal as if relieving a bad memory.
Tears actually formed at the corner of Weiss's eyes, recalling such a frightening time in her life. "All I knew that I was going to be ransomed, but… but I had nightmares that something more could've happened to me."
Weiss hugged herself tightly, clutching her arms. "At first it was just my mind playing tricks on me… but… but I swear I heard some of them wanting to do… things to…" At this point she was shaking like a leaf as she couldn't muster the words at all.
Coming to her aid, Ruby hugged her partner tightly and soothingly spoke to her in hopes of calming her down.
Blake was visibly shaken, feeling an overwhelming nauseating churning well up in her stomach; knowing the implications as to what Weiss was really referring to.
"Had it not been for the Avengers, I may as well had died that day." Weiss murmured aloud.
Her teammates had mixed reactions ranging from shock, disbelief and above all else for Blake, a sickening realization.
She recalled the growing presence that the Avengers had been gaining during her last few days back in the White fang. How they had systematically began to halt many of their assaults, robberies and operations.
Growing desperate, the former peaceful group her family built and founded became bold and decided to take an important figure from the Schnee family. She didn't know who it was at the time, but now it became clear to her.
Blake began shaking uncontrollably, crying freely with no effort in stopping herself. She sniffled and rubbed her wet eyes yet that did nothing in stopping the water works as she now began to openly sob.
"I-I-I'm s-sorry." She whispered frantically. "I-I'm so s-sorry. I-I didn't kn-know. I didn't know."
"Huh?" Yang looked to her partner with great concern. She had never seen the normally stoic and dry-laced humored friend in such a vulnerable state.
The blond stepped towards Blake but she moved back, crying profusely.
"I-I'm sorry." She kept repeating, over and over again.
By this point, even Weiss was startled by this behavior.
"What?" Weiss whispered in confusion. "What are you sorry about?"
Fresh tears continued to spill out from Blake, wordlessly lifting her hand up and pulling her bow of her head.
Sudden silence filled the room with what was just happened. Weiss stepped back with what she was seeing before her. Surfaced feelings caused her to act irrational at the present moment.
"Blake…" Weiss with a cold, nearly dead tone. "You…. You're one of them." Her expression morphed into one of pure rage. "You were one of them that helped kidnap me?!"
Blake only turned her head in shame, whispering quietly. "I never wanted this. I just wanted to be open about myself. Not get pushed around anymore."
Suddenly, the newly revealed Faunus ran towards the window and leaped out of it.
Realizing her mistake, Weiss quickly ran towards the opened window shouted out. "Blake, wait! Come back! I'm sorry! BLAKE!"
Hearing the commotion, Peter soon came into the room with a worried look on his face. "Guys, did something happen? Is everything ok in here?"
Yang instead looked to the window, giving Peter a moment to see that the team was one person short.
Peter gazed at her then a now silent and sullen Weiss with a distraught Ruby by her side.
"Where'd Blake go?" Peter asked. "Please tell me she didn't jump out that window."
Seeing their expressions, he realized Blake did just that.
"She's not safe." Yang whispered to him. "Not in the state that she's in right now. She could be in danger."
"The police." Weiss was barely heard. "They said that crime's been on the rise."
Narrowing his eyes, he quickly ran back towards his dorm room as he started taking off some of his clothes. Bolting into his Dorm, completely ignoring team JNPR, Peter fired a web from his web shooters that were concealed beneath his sleeves and pulled out a case from under his bed.
Being present, Nora let out a quick "EEEP!" while covering her eyes. "What the hell are ya doing, Peter! Don't you see there are ladies present!" Yet part of her act was getting betrayed when she parted some of her fingers to see how defined Peter's body is. 'Well hello, Adonis! Do all dorky guys like Peter have bodies like that?!' She side eyed her male teammates, one in particular causing her face to further flush a deeper shade of red.
"No time!" Was all he said as he quickly snagged his hero attire and started slipping it over his body with only his boxer shorts on. It seemed baggy at first, but with a quick press on his spider-emblem made the outfit shrink and became form fitting like a second layer of skin.
"Awesome." he said to himself. "Just like Mr. Starks. Thank you, Scott."
Without any further notice, he pushed open his dorm room window and jumped out before firing off a stream of webbing in order to find the recently missing member of Team RWBY.
"Peter!" Jaune stuck his head out the window. "Where are you going?!"
"To find Blake." Peter yelled back, swinging further away.
"What?!" Jaune shouted back in complete bewilderment, turning back to his teammates. "What the heck happened at their dorm?"
Jaune got his answer in the form of Ruby appearing in front of Peter's door.
"Guys, did Peter just leave?" Ruby asked frantically.
"Yeah, he just up and changed from his underwear to a weird suit that I now want." Nora rambled off. "No decency."
"Ruby, what's going on?" Jaune asked worriedly.
"We heard Peter shout something about finding Blake." Pyrrha said with clear concern. "What happened? Should we find the professors? Can they help?"
"Honestly..." Ruby felt completely useless right now, a stray tear escaping as she had just witnessed what could've been the implosion of her team. "I don't know who could help right now."
Over with Peter, he was having quite the hard time finding Blake. He looked all over campus and was already making his way to the city. Yet he had no such luck.
"Where the heck did she go?" Peter asked himself. "How'd she just up and disappear like that?"
He clicked his teeth in the process. "I swear, people wearing so much black in night really makes this part of the job harder than it seems at times."
Arriving at the edge of the city, Spiderman fired a line and tugged on it with all his might, launching himself high into the air to get an overview of Vale.
"Wish I knew more on Blake. Would help on where she might've ran off to." He muttered to himself. "Okay, Peter, what does she like?" He hummed as he flipped through the air. "She likes books… and eating seafood and reading books… and… does she read books all day?"
Landing atop a lamp post, not noticing the few civilians below who were startled by his sudden appearance the web-head sat upon the lamp post in a slouched posture.
"I really gotta pay better attention to the people I hangout with." Spidey said to himself, head hung low.
Sighing, Peter snapped his head up to observe the streets below hoping to spot the missing friend. All he could see were some people staring right back at him while the rest went about their night. Kinda reminded him of New York for a brief moment.
Suddenly, Peter's nose twitched and he let out a loud sneeze.
"The hell?" Peter murmured, raising his mask to wipe his nose and found. "...Sand? How the heck did sand get beneath my mask?"
Granted, Peter knew that he had only just upgraded his suit in terms of looks and functions that resembled his old one that Mr. Stark gave him. But he knew some chinks were needed working out.
'Like keeping sand out of my mask.' Peter thought to himself, his eyes catching something moving in the air.
Squinting his eyes a bit, Peter pulled his mask back down and clicked on his advanced goggles.
Thanks to studying Falcon and Scott's tech and with a little insight from Clint, he had some nifty features to his own mask now.
Like zooming in on something that his advanced eyes couldn't discern and identify it.
"More sand?" Peter said, his eyes following a long trail of the grainy minerals to around a corner a few blocks down.
A corner that suddenly exploded.
Eyes bulging out momentarily, Spider-man didn't hesitate in jumping off the lamp post and swinging at high speeds over to the building that was rocked by an explosion.
Arriving at the scene, he saw some people had ran away while others looked on in shock.
"What the heck was that?"
"An explosion?"
"It's from that Dust shop!"
"Oh Oum, not another one."
Facing the smoking shop, Spidey's lenses widened a great deal to see two large individuals step out from the store with bag filled with whatever content they stole from the shop.
Probably dust.
Both men easily outclassed Peter in terms of size, with one looking more brutish than his compatriot.
"Another easy score, O'hirn." The shorter of the two declared with a roguish grin. He worse basic brown cargo pants with striped green t-shirt.
O'hirn grinned down at his comrade, holding up their stash. This one was larger, more muscular and broader. Yet his most defining features above all else was the protruding horn from the top of his head to the various patches of grey, armor-like patches of skin on his arms and probably his entire body.
"Man, we really lucked out with the Avengers out of our hair Marko." O'hirn said, shaking his bags with greedy glee.
Spider-man's lenses only narrowed, jumping forward and landing in front of the two criminals.
"Huh?" Were their response to the sudden arrival of a red and blue clad individual.
"You'll be returning what you stole now, gentlemen." Spider-man spoke in his best way of intimidating the two in front of him.
"And just who are you supposed to be?" Marko asked with bewilderment at the sudden arrival of this kid.
"Your Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman."
Both men blinked, glancing at one another with a heavy silence filling the area now.
Marko and O'hirn couldn't contain themselves any longer, bursting out with gut busting laughter as they both leaned on one another howling aloud.
"Ah man, this kid's so adorable." Marko declared, arm around his friends shoulder to stop himself from keeling over with O'hirn doing the same.
"Man, *SNORT*, I haven't had a laugh that good in ages." O'hirn guffawed.
Spider-man only glared heatedly at the two before smirking.
After several seconds, both criminals finally calmed down getting their breathing under control.
"Whew." Marko breathed out, wiping sweat from his brow. "That was a good one."
"Yeah, really needed that." O'hirn chuckled. "Now give us our bags back kid."
Pause…
O'hirn jolted, looking down at his and Markos now empty hands then back up to that weirdo in the spandex cheekily checking his nails with one hand while all the bags they had on them were casually slung over his shoulder.
Noticing they were now staring at him with mouths agape, Spidey gave them a look of faux confusion.
"What? Is there something on my face?" Peter inquired innocently.
"Alright kid." Marko's tone now shifted into one annoyance now. "You've had your laugh. Now hand back our haul and we'll let you leave with a broken neck."
"Partial Paralysis." O'hirn growled out, cracking his knuckles.
'Ok, that was somewhat terrifying.' Peter internally thought.
"Was that natural or was there a rehearsal that you guys do before every robbery?" Peter quipped. "There must be a serious bromance going on here."
"Listen kid." Marko held up his hand and sand began to swirl all around his arm. "We're only gonna tell you this one time and only one time. Don't get in our way cause if you do, yer gonna be in for a world of hurt."
"If only I had nickel for every time I've heard that one, Sandy." Spiderman shot back, throwing the bags without looking in front of the Vale police that had just arrived. "Can I call you Sandy, feels appropriate."
"You know, we've only known each other for literally five minutes but I already wanna jam my horn right up your ass." O'hirn all but growled, his horn now glowing with a greyish-steel like aura.
"Ok first of all, ew." Peter said with a squirm. "That's just disgusting. Secondly, if you're gonna do something like that take me on a… date… first…. Yeah ok, didn't think that one thro- WHOA."
Spidey's enhanced senses blared aloud in warning, making him literally bend his legs back in a matrix like angle. A bunch of sand spiked rods were shot at him, dissolving before hitting anything though it did spook the pedestrians and some of the officers that had now surrounded the area.
Standing up straight, Spiderman's lenses shot open at the site of a large man bull rushing him at full speed.
Thinking fast, Spiderman fired a glob of web right in the eyes of O'hirn blinding him.
The large bulldozer of a man let out a startled grunt of surprise. Peter ran forward, using the man's large frame as leverage to jump over him. Landing in a crouch, Peter quickly adjusted the setting on his web shooters and fired a line like a whip.
Snagging one of the ankles of O'hirn, Spidey pulled hard getting the Faunas to trip and fall face first.
Feeling that weird warning sense blare again, Spiderman jumped into the air and pivoted his body in angles that would make contortionists jealous.
"Yikes." Spiderman exclaimed, jumping about to avoid the literal human sized sand fists exploding out of the ground.
"You're dealing with the Sandman now you jumping loser." Marko shouted out.
"And why do they call you that?" Peter remarked, balancing atop a lamp post. "Cause of your boring personality. I mean you do seem pretty generic."
"HOW ARE YOU SO ANNOYING?!" Marko barked out. "I wanna gut you already."
"It's a gift." Peter shrugged, jumping forward to engage Sandman. "Honestly, there's something weirdly familiar about all this."
Suddenly, Peter felt that warning part of his brain cry out again.
He didn't react in time as he was grabbed out of the air by a now recovered O'hirn that was clearly pissed.
"And who are you supposed to be then?" Peter grunted from the tight clasp around his body. "Horny? Grabby? Greyscale?"
"Names Rhino kid." The horned Faunas said, nostrils flaring whilst grabbing Peter with both his large hands and constricting them tightly around Spidey's upper body. "It'll be the last name you'll ever hear."
O'hirn raised up Peter, ready to impale him upon his horn though was having an annoying time in doing so as the young hero flailed about in his best efforts to free himself.
And Rhino actually felt that he could do it.
So in response, Rhino activated his semblance. Dulling his 'intellect' and allowing more baser animalistic instincts to take over, O'hirns arms bulked up with the grey skin covering them entirely.
Peter's danger sense flared violently, forcing him to think on… his feet.
Noticing both were not in Rhino's grasp and within reach, Spiderman slammed both into his captors face.
"AURGH." Rhino roared out, dropping Spiderman to clutch his face. "MY NOSE YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT STAIN. YOU BROKE MY NOSE."
"It looked like it needed to get done." Spidey cheekily said before abruptly whirling around to see Marko towering over him with his legs being replaced with a sand pillar and his arms were surrounded by enlarged sand mallets and maces.
"EAT THIS YOU PEST." Marko roared out, bringing his hammer down.
Spider-man used Sandman's body, firing web liens to swing up to him.
Sandman in the meantime, missed Spidey entirely, instead flattening his partner.
"WATCH IT, FLINT!"
"Sorry Al." Marko had the decency to look apologetic after attacking his friend accidentally.
Of course that expression changed into one of jaw aching pain as Spiderman swung up to the large sand based semblance user and socked him right in the jaw.
Sandman recovered quickly however, turning to see Spiderman was still in the air. He used his semblance to form into a giant fist and catapulted towards the web-slinger.
Spiderman fired a web line to pull himself out of the way. Yet even though he tugged himself out of the giant sand fist, a part of it suddenly branched off and grabbed his legs.
"Uh-OOOHHHH CRAP." Spiderman squeaked out as Sandman flailed him about in the air and slammed him into the ground several times. As if getting the wind knocked out of him wasn't enough, Marko then tossed him aside like a ragdoll.
Skidding across the asphalt, Peter tumbled for a little bit before coming to an abrupt stop. He groggily got up to his feet before patting himself down.
"Arms, check. Legs, check. Head, check."
"DEADMAN, CHECK."
Peter looked up and saw the horn of O'hirn mere inches away from his face.
Eyes bugging out, Spidey's enhanced reflexes kicked into overdrive. He quite literally dropped to his knees and bent his body all the way until his back and head touched the floor while Rhino's body sailed overhead before the horn embedded itself into a nearby building.
Kicking up, Peter turned to face O'hirn who removed himself from the wall and was now wildly swinging at Spidey.
Jumping and dodging each swing, Spidey's foot bumped against a ruined lamp post. Using his strength and reflexes, he picked up the lamp post and smacked Rhino across his body and head several times. Yet the assault ended when O'hirn grasped it, ripped it out of Spider-man's grasp and tossed it away.
"Is that all you got?" Rhino growled out, bringing his fists down in hopes of squashing his opponent.
Peter performed a leaping backflip and landed his feet several feet away. "Oh I got more, pal, if you're beast enough to get it."
This set O'hirn off as he charged forward. "Oh I'll show you how beast enough I am!"
Spider-man crouched down to ready himself and at the last second jumped high into the air.
Rhino, instead of hitting empty air, ran smack dab into the middle of a sand tsunami courtesy of Sandman.
"Pfft ACK." Rhino hacked out violently before glaring at his friend. "THE HELL MARKO, THAT'S TWICE NOW!"
"Blame the bug!"
"Correction, spiders are not bugs, Sandy, their-"
"SHUT UP." Both criminals shouted. "OUM SAVE US, WHY DON'T YOU EVER SHUT UP!"
"Come on you guys, that's a bit rude." Peter quipped. "We've only known each other for like what?" Checks his watch beneath his sleeve. "Eighteen minutes? That's hardly called for such rude language."
He saw that only served to further piss them off, making them prepare for yet another assault on him. Grinning beneath his mask, he knew he could only goad them on further.
"Besides, I've got quite the sparkly personality… as compared to the strobe light ones of some of my friends."
It was at that very moment that Peter had realized he had completely forgotten about his friends at this time, or more specifically, one in particular who ran off.
'Ah dang it, Spidey.' He mentally berated himself. 'You completely forgot about Blake. She's god knows where in this city.'
Shaking his head, Spider-man hopped about from one foot to the other, getting into a stance Captain America had taught him during class.
"Alright, sorry guys but I've gotta wrap this up, literally with my webbing and metaphorically with…"
"I am going to enjoy spearing my horn through your head, you bug freak."
"...Now that's rude, interrupting me and all that."
"You're absolutely correct in that regard, Mr. Parker."
Peter seized up in his entirety as he felt somebody standing behind him. Someone way taller, broader and all the more badass and experienced than him.
Cautiously turning around, Spidey's lenses widened to the point where the black outlines were entirely gone making him appear anime-esque in his reaction.
"C-Cap." Spiderman all but squeaked.
"Peter." Steve said, not even looking at the young hero with his eyes solely focused on Flint and O'hirn who had both began sweating profusely in fear.
"SHIT, IT'S THEM!" Sandman yelled as he used his aura to form into a large pile of sand. "SCRAM!" Soon enough, he quickly went into the nearest drain for his escape.
"DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME TWICE!" Rhino bellowed out, using every ounce of his strength into his legs to bolt out of the scene.
However it was not to be as bluish-silver whirlwind surrounded Sandman, the speed and winds dispelling all the sand while several arrows embedded themselves into Rhino before blowing up.
After all that was said and done, a red archaic aura shrouded around the two and they were both pinned down.
Scarlet Witch descended on down from high while Hawkeye rappelled down from the roof of a building with Quicksilver coming to a stop beside his sister.
"...Now that was quite anti-climatic." Peter said, feeling a bit lame at how quickly the Avengers had gone and subdued two guys that were giving him so much trouble.
"To be fair, you had all the fun before we got here." Sam Wilson had arrived on the scene, landing next to the wall-crawler.
Peter opened his mouth to respond only for Cap to cut him off by giving him a rather intense stare.
"Now, Mr. Parker." Steve began evenly. "Care to explain why Team RWBY seemed to be in shambles and you're all out here by your lonesome?"
"Heh~" Peter rubbed the back of his head nervously. "Now that you mention it, I… don't exactly know what happened with them. Just… went after Blake…"
"Well, you could tell us that when we return back to Beacon." Steve stated, brokering a tone with no room for argument. "I'd like to know the full story when we get back."
"But what about Blake?" Spidey asked nervously only for Clint and Wanda of all people to ease the teens worries.
"She'll be fine." Wanda promised. "She can take care of herself better than you realize."
"We'll do our best to find her." Clint assured. "For now, get back to your dorm kiddo, you've had a long night."
Spider-man quite literally felt the exhaustion of the entire fight he had endured just now slam him hard and fast.
"Yeah." Was all Peter said.
Earth
In a secluded part of Norway, the android of the Avengers was staring at a large tablet. He was analyzing the characteristics and symbols depicted on its surface in the middle of a large field with several others set in a large circle.
"Any luck?"
Vision didn't have to look back to see Natasha walking towards him with an electronic tablet in her grasp, typing away with each passing moment.
"None so far." Vision said.
"You sure Selvig gave us the right coordinates?" Natasha asked, looking around. "Our friends went missing in Wakanda, not up here in the land of the ice and snow."
"Yes, among a few others." Vision remarked, brows furrowing in slight frustration at his lack of progress.
"Wish Thor was here. He would no doubt help us out with this problem of ours." She muttered out. "Could get his friend Heimhall or however you say his name to widen the search for… wherever the others are at."
Vision only nodded, absentmindedly glanced around the near endless field where they stood upon, with only the ocean cliff side in the distance.
There was nothing here other than this large tablet in the center of this exiled land next to Norway.
A while back, Tony had surprisingly gotten word from King T'challa -from out of the blue- about an issue depicting the wayward Avengers. The others initially wondered where they were originally at as they were wanted fugitives. To their surprise, T'Challa had given them diplomatic immunity as they were guests to his home country.
Before any of them could go to Wakanda to fetch them, the King dropped quite the bombshell on them as they disappeared on a mission with no sign of them.
This worried them, more so than others, as the remaining Avengers started searching high and low for any sign as to where they ended up at. T'Challa had given them what information he could about the energy readings that were relevant to the fugitive Avengers' disappearance. And ever since then, the majority of their time -outside of missions- were finding a way to get the others back home to Earth.
"Oh, hello there." A pleasant, elderly voice broke Vision out of his recollection of the past few events.
Natasha was immediately by his side, hands going for her weapons.
"Do not worry, I have not come for a conflict with some Earth's mightiest heroes."
Before the duo stood an aged gentlemen with, wearing plain clothing with an overall calming demeanor. The man seemed… unremarkable save for the worn out eyepatch he wore over his right eye.
"How'd you… Who are you?"
"Oh I come here often to see the sights and reminisce, my dear." The old man said casually. "As for Who I am it is of little relevance when compared to your plights."
Vision and Nat glanced at one another making the elder chuckle.
"What are two of the infamous Avengers doing here of all places? Ran out of places to explore? Studying, perhaps?"
Vision eyed the man wearily. "Something along those lines, good sir."
"Ah, you are a polite one." He looked at the guarded red-head who had yet to lower her defenses. "You are both… lost, aren't you? I can understand. Many have gone down that path as have I."
The man turned to face the sea with a somber smile as he strolled past them. "Tis why I remain here, waiting for my inevitable fate."
Looking back to them, he gave them a warmer smile and gestured for them to follow. "Come, come. I wish to show you both something."
He began walking towards the edge of the Cliffside, leaving two very confused Avengers.
They both exchanged a silent conversation with each other on what to do about this old man. He didn't seem to be a threat but in their line of work, nothing is as it ever was.
Deciding to humor him, the AI turned android walked forward and stood beside the new arrival. Seeing as she couldn't do anything else, Natasha reluctantly joined the two not long after.
"Sit, sit." The old man said, waving both down to the large rocks he sat upon. "You look like you could need a momentary respite."
Nat and Viz sat down at some distance from the elder who had kept up a calm and peaceful aura all the while.
"Beautiful, isn't it." The old man said serenely, looking out into the vast expanse of the sea. "I should have come here a long time ago. Would have helped me realize a lot of my own mistakes and folly's sooner than later."
Neither Avenger responded yet he went on. "But still, we can only control so much of our fate and our time here on this world. In all worlds really. Only Remnants remain abound from the follies of the past. The Remnants that must pick up the pieces and set everything right. Tis a daunting task that I wouldn't wish upon anybody."
He turned to give both his new companions appraising smiles. "Yet the two of you and our allies took up the cause with great vigor and purpose. Great strength from within. A true Marvel to see."
"What do you mean by that?" Natasha asked.
"A fair maiden such as yourself." The old man said. "You hold a will of great iron, the likes of which very few in any lifetime can compare to."
"You know more than you let on." Vision spoke with a narrowed glance.
"Ah, that is my curse at times." The old man said, head lowering. "And even then, I have learned so little."
A small tear rolled down the man's eye. "But now… within the coming short years I can prepare the world for a better tomorrow. Conflict builds the strength to persevere. Something I can proudly say my sons and his allies have in mountains."
Vision and Natasha now were truly confused. Just who was this man?
"Look at that." He randomly pointed off in the distance, sun setting with its light dancing across the skies and bouncing around the water. "Had we valued those we hold close to our heart, perhaps there would be more good in this world."
Smiling to himself, he turned to Natasha.
"Go now, Natasha Romanoff." He said kindly. "Your friends are awaiting you. As is another that I had led astray from my follies."
Natasha couldn't get a word in as he had turned to face Vision.
"And you keep seeking within yourself, android." The elder said in a sage voice. "The Mind Stone gave you life but only you yourself will find your purpose. Look within your heart and soul, Stone Keeper."
Natasha and Vision became alarmed and were just about ready to ask just what was he talking about when suddenly the man was gone in a blink of their eyes.
Blinking once more, the duo now found themselves in a dome like room where pedestal with three steps leading up to it stood.
Both were greatly thrown off by the sudden change in scenery, taking a moment to get their bearings together.
"Who was that?" Natasha asked aloud.
"I am… unsure." Vision replied, taking a moment to analyze where they were.
This place was strange to say the least but the walls… the walls were lined with the same characters and ruins they were studying just a few short moments ago.
"Where are we?" Nat questioned, inspecting the walls.
Vision, instead of answering, looked to the center of the room on the pedestal in the center. Growing curious, Vision stepped forward and hover over the pedestal a moment later.
On the pedestal was just a rune, a rune he had seen before.
"Natasha." Vision called to her. "What is this rune right here mean again?"
Glancing at him, Nat walked over and stood beside the android looking down at the rune carve into the center of the pedestal.
Narrowing her eyes, she pulled out her tablet and pulled out her Rune chart to quickly decipher the meaning behind said rune.
"Remnant." Natasha said aloud.
Vision suddenly fired a beam from his infinity stone directly onto the Rune which in turn made it glow a bright yellow gold.
"What'd you go and do that for?!" Natasha asked aloud in surprise.
Vision was just as confused as she was, feeling only a whisper of advice? Encouragement? Whatever it was, it made him do what he just did and as he opened his mouth to answer the room was engulfed in a blinding light of colors.
It lasted a short several seconds before subsiding in an instant revealing a now empty room with neither Vision or Widow being found anywhere inside.
And DONE I'M BACK WITH THIS ONE TO GUYS
And you know what's really awesome? What's so great about this one?
Is knowing that I have one of the best comrades around who helped in completing this chapter in literally two days after neglecting it for so long.
Jebest, I can quite literally never thank you enough for how much you've helped in finishing these chapters as well as being the fire under my ass that I need in going full in on these chapters.
It feels so damn good knowing I've got a friend and comrade like Jebest. Then again, his name had BEST in it so really, I shouldn't be all that surprised just happy.
Thank you my good friend and thank you all for reading
