After the rude nurse left, Weiss was left alone to her devices. Naturally, if this was one of Cinder's plots. Weiss wasn't going to take it sitting down. Whoever these people were, they were not about to take Weiss as a hostage. Even with her losing her position as heir to the Schnee Dust Company, Weiss was still a Schnee. Father would just pay the ransom to punish her himself. Weiss' eyes darted around the room. While it may seem like a normal hospital room, who knows what hiding beneath each counter or desk.
Weiss touched her side, feeling the bandages beneath her hospital gown. Yup, it seemed that someone got a lucky hit on her once her aura was down. If only she had her scroll on her. Being able to see her aura level would allow Weiss to plan an escape using her glyphs. Of course finding Myrtenaster would have to be next on her top list of priorities.
The door opened again, revealing that rude Nurse, this time accompanied by an older man wearing a white lab coat. They both had some type of name tag on them, but it was in a language that Weiss didn't understand, which was surprising.
"Can you understand me?" The Doctor said in Mistralian. He took out what seemed to be an older scroll and pressed a few buttons. He spoke again, but more hesitantly. "Or do you understand me with this language?" He said that last sentence in Atlassian. Weiss rolled her eyes. He had butchered every word in that sentence.
"I can understand you just fine." Weiss replied in Mistralian before he could butcher her native language anymore than he already has. While she prefered speaking in Atlassian when alone or at home, she could easily speak to her friends in Valish, which served as trade language for all of the Four Kingdoms for some reason. The perks of knowing multiple languages ensured that she always knew what people were saying about her.
The Doctor shared a glance with the rude nurse.
"My apologies. Your Japanese is pretty good." The Doctor said while forming a smile on his face. Weiss only glared in response. What the hell was Japanese? That sounded like something Yang would have been into. "I'm Doctor Miura and this is Nurse Hayashi." He motioned towards the rude woman from earlier who also gave Weiss a warm smile.
She didn't trust them. Something bad happened at Haven, otherwise Ruby, Yang, Jaune or even Ren and Nora would have been here already. Ruby would have been here before the doctor, attempting to break Weiss' ribs.
"May I ask your name?"
Now that was very insulting. While Weiss may have been known as the heir, now former, to the Schnee Dust Company, she also was a very popular singer throughout the Kingdoms. Every single one of her concerts never had an empty seat for crying out loud! Her last album stayed at the top of the charts for weeks. Weiss seethed inside, but she forced herself to swallow her pride. Exposing herself wouldn't do her any good if they were kidnappers or working with Salem.
"Ruby Rose." Weiss said confidently, the Mistralian translation of her partner's name easily leaving her lips.
"We shall see if that's true." Someone else said, the voice coming from the door. Weiss glared at the intruder once they made themself known. Walking through her hospital room's door was a tall man dressed in an oversized trench coat with a fedora. The man's face was impassive, not showing a single bit of emotion.
"And who are you supposed to be?" Weiss said sarcastically. He looked important, but how did he know she was lying? Was that his semblance?
"I'm Detective Tsukauchi from the National Police Agency." He pulled a small notepad from one of his many pockets. Oh, so he was a member of the police then? That was worse than dealing with the hospital staff here. The Detective exchanged a glance with Doctor Miura. "I have several questions for you once the good Doctor is done giving you an examination."
Was he one of Lionheart's goons? She did just survive an ambush laid by the traitorous headmaster. Still, there was a chance that he could have been one of the few huntsmen that was on their side. Either way, Weiss didn't like him.
"Very well."
Weiss could play along for now or at least until Mytenaster was back in her possession.
Doctor Miura and the rude woman who should not have been a nurse were much more annoying than Weiss expected them to be. Not Jaune trying to ask her out on a date every five minutes annoying, but extremely so. They kept asking her how many fingers they held up, and the rude woman's index finger started to glow at one point, having Weiss follow the light with her eyes.
A weird, if a bit useless when it came to semblances. None could compare to the hereditary glyphs of the Schnee family of course. Combine that with her swordsmanship, Weiss was sure she could easily escape should the need arise. Thankfully, her aura returned when the Doctor and Nurse weren't looking, covering Weiss' body in that comforting blue color before disappearing.
Now that stab in her side was a dull ache instead of causing her extreme pain. Doctor Miura examined her wound, and replaced the old, blood covered bandages with new ones. As much as Weiss hated to admit it, they did a pretty decent job. Not as good as the Atlas professionals that would clear an entire floor just for her, but passable.
"Make sure you don't agitate the wound, otherwise your stitches are going to open up. It'll leave a faint scar, but I'm sure thats better than being dead." Doctor Miura's failed attempt as a joke only earned him a glare from Weiss. He coughed into his fist awkwardly. "I'm afraid we couldn't do much about the scar on your left eye."
"It's ok." It was Weiss' choice to keep that scar. Father was livid, and Mother was a bit too drunk to care or show what she thought. She didn't regret it of course, seeing Father's angry face made blemishing her pale, perfect face worth it. What was one more scar? "Thank you."
Doctor Miura smiled in return. "Do you need anything before we send Detective Tsukauchi in?"
What did she need? A mirror would be nice. Even wounded and stuck in a hospital bed, Weiss still needed to keep up her physical appearance.
"A mirror would suffice."
Nurse Hayashi nodded. "I'll see what I can do. I'm sure I can find one somewhere."
The two said their farewells and left soon after. They didn't seem like they worked for Cinder, but Weiss wouldn't let her guard down. Cinder, Emerald, and Mercury had fooled them all when they infiltrated Beacon.
Weiss wouldn't be fooled again.
She was taken out of her thoughts by Nurse Hayashi, who returned with a small handheld mirror.
"Here, I know how much you youngsters love taking care of your appearances. I'm sure you have more than a few guys or girls going after your heart." The still rude woman said as she handed Weiss the mirror. While Weiss was relatively young, that was still a weird thing to say. She was of age to attend one of the best academies for huntsmen and huntresses, and Nurse Hayashi only seemed a few years older than Weiss. Most likely around Winter's age if Weiss had to guess.
"Thank you." Weiss said politely, keeping her face neutral. Nurse Hayashi gave her a wink and left Weiss to her devices. Weiss sighed as she leaned back, her aura finally working on her injury.
"Finally." Weiss muttered under her breath as she held the mirror up to her face. Yup, same old scar, same light blue eyes, same-
What was this?
Weiss' eyes widened in shock as her hand that held the mirror started to shake slightly. That wasn't possible. Was this one of Professor Ozpin's schemes? He did manage to turn Ruby's uncle and Yang's Mom into birds. Yes, that must be why they weren't here! Weiss must've volunteered for some special mission. That's right, there was no other explanation for this.
Why else would she look younger than Ruby?
A/N
Ahaha, I deaged Weiss to make her fit into UA.
Anyways, I thought about it, and it would be easier to let Dust work in the MHA universe. Weiss is just going to have to use it sparingly until she can find out how to get some more. Yeah, what Tsukauchi did was kinda stupid.
Shorter chapters are my usual style, but I'll try to make them longer if possible. No promises. (My readers that came over from my Worm stories should be used to it by now)
Now, shall other RWBY characters show up? Perhaps in the future, but not at the moment.
Shipwise, I'm still undecided on that as well but suggestions are always welcomed, just don't be mad if your ship doesn't happen.
