I don't own RWBY. RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth and was created by Monty Oum. I only own my OCs

Jayden, Adam, and Yang walked back into their headquarters after the mission

Jayden thought it could've gone a bit better, but it also could've gone way worse. Preferably, it was better with no casualties instead of one, but Jayden would take it over having five or ten casualties

Jayden looked over at Adam. Adam looked still looked a little overwhelmed, which left Jayden a little concerned in turn. But, Jayden knew he would be ok. He just needed to get his mind off of it

And, thankfully, he knew how to do that

"Hey, I'm gonna go train for a bit." Jayden said, already departing and not bothering with whatever they said next

[POV Change, Yang, Third-person limited]

"Hey! Let me..." Yang stopped as she watched Jayden hurry away. She wanted to train with him and maybe be his sparring partner

But, she knew that she really only wanted one thing. As much as she tried to deny it, she liked him more than just a friend. Yang didn't want it to be true, but it was tearing her up inside

Yang felt a hand lay on her shoulder and shake her. She turned to see Adam, gesturing to the entrance to the roof

"Hey Yang, mind helping me with explaining this to Blake? She's not happy to hear that I killed someone." Adam asked Yang, sounding shameful

"Yeah, I will." Yang spoke in a soft tone. Adam's half frown turned into a full smile

"Thanks Yang, I'm glad to have a friend like you." Adam said to her

"Yeah... anyway, the longer we wait, the angrier Blake will be. So let's get going." Yang said before walking to the staircase. Adam followed her, of course

They reached the roof and saw Blake standing there, not even facing the entrance like she normally would

"Hey." Yang called out. Blake didn't even move and Adam sighed

"Blake, I told you. It was an accident." Adam said to her. Blake whipped around

"Was it?! This isn't the first time humans have died on missions you've led. How many more accidents are there going to be?" Blake asked, shifting her arms together

"Blake, in Adam's defense, it really was an accident." Yang said to her, trying to help Adam like she said she would

"And I don't know, Blake. I'm out there fighting for us, and when you fight, people get hurt." Adam told her as if she didn't know

"The point Adam is trying to make is that, if we do continue doing this, we can't ensure the safety of everyone involved." Yang spoke, in a much softer tone of voice than what she used with Adam

It was why people called her the mom of the group. Yang cared immensely for her friends

Blake still sunk into herself and looked away from Adam and Yang. Adam walked up to Blake and put a hand on her shoulder

"Look, I wish I could take it back. But, I can't change what happened." Adam said to Blake, who looked him in the eye and laid her hand on Adam's arm

"I know, Adam. I just get scared whenever I hear that you've killed someone." Blake voiced her concern

Yang figured her assistance was no longer needed and left to go join Jayden in training, if he was still going

[POV Change, Jayden, Third-person limited]

Jayden backflipped and shot Bloom out of Scatter. Bloom hit the training mannequin in the face

Jayden ran at the mannequin and grabbed Bloom in a reverse grip right out if the air. Jayden sliced right through the neck portion, turned around and fired Scatter at it's head before slicing through it's torso

Jayden timed the sheath of his weapon with the time that the mannequin fell apart to make it look like it fell apart upon hearing the sound of his blade locking into the sheathe

Jayden took a deep breath before going to grab another one

"Don't." Jayden heard from the doorway. His nerves were still on edge from the mission and didn't stop upon recognizing the voice. Jayden put a hand on Bloom and turned around to look at Yang

Jayden's eyes widened before he closed them and took a deep breath

"Yang, why are you here?" Jayden asked while his eyes were still closed

"I'm here because I wanted to train with you and maybe even be your sparring partner." Yang answered without missing a beat

"But, I always train with Adam." Jayden seemed to whine, even though that's nowhere close to what he did

"Yeah, but you must be getting bored of constantly fighting him. Tell you what, you spar with me and I'll teach you brawling." Yang offered him

Jayden thought it over. On one hand, he didn't really wanna spar with someone. On the other, he'd not only learn something new but also gain a new partner to spar with

"... I accept." Jayden said after a pause. Yang giggled in response

"That's what I was hoping for. Well, I'm ready when you are." Yang said, putting her hands in the normal position she had them whenever she was fighting

Jayden crouched down and laid a hand on Bloom as he scanned Yang for any potential openings. Jayden tensed and took a deep breath in. He noticed that Yang stiffened as well

Jayden released the breath he was holding

"Ready." He said. Yang charged him almost immediately

Jayden dodged to the side and went to strike her side. Yang dodged, however, and used her gauntlets to hit Jayden in the side with buckshot

Jayden staggered, but recovered fast enough to block the fist careening at his head. Jayden deflected the other fist and twirled around Yang

Yang stuck her foot out and tripped Jayden, who twirled to his feet and did a handspring backward

Jayden took his hand off of Bloom. Yang put her hands up in time to block Bloom from hitting her face. Jayden rushed up to her and went to grab Bloom, only to get punched in the face

Jayden stumbled backward

'Damnit! She has me separated from my weapon. If I can't reach it any time soon, then this match will be over.' Jayden thought. He didn't know anything about hand-to-hand combat. Compared to normal civilians and maybe even some of the grunts here, Jayden could improve so that he didn't have to worry about it

However, in the face of a person like Yang, improvisation becomes useless as they have actual training in hand-to-hand

Jayden stood at a distance and waited. He knew Yang was gonna wait for him to come to her, but he had other ways to get what he needed

Jayden rushed at Yang. Yang smirked and went to hit him in the face before her attack completely phased through Jayden. That's when she realized that he used one of his shadow clones to trick her

Yang turned around to get a face full of pommel as Bloom hit her. Jayden was successful in retrieving Bloom this time. Jayden spartan kicked Yang backward

Yang stumbled and looked at Jayden. She wiped the sweat off of her forehead and got back into her stance. Jayden did the same

This time, Jayden rushed Yang. Once Jayden got close, Yang swung full force at his stomach. Only, Jayden dodged using his shadow clones and unsheathed Bloom to fire Scatter at Yang

Yang knew he would do that, however, and immediately blocked after her swing. The bullets hit her gauntlets

Jayden stopped and sheathed Bloom, knowing that would do nothing other than waste his ammo. When Yang heard the click of his blade locking into the sheath, she looked up from her guard to look at Jayden

Jayden was in his normal stance. So, Yang shifted to hers. Jayden smirked at her determination and and stood up straight. Yang showed signs of visible confusion

"I'm done for the day. Thanks for the spar, Yang. I hope we can do it sometime soon." Jayden said before walking out

Jayden would admit that that was a great fight

[Timeskip, One week later]

Jayden stood with Yang and Adam. They were going on another mission

This time, they were raiding an SDC outpost. The plan was for one group consisting of Yang, Jayden, and squad of grunts to storm one side while Sienna, Adam, and Ilia storm the other

Jayden's group was after any data on mines and other camps or outposts. Adam's group was after dust and other supplies

It would be hard, but they were willing to try

Jayden, however, was more concerned about his brother. It had only been about a week after the first mission, when he had killed someone

However, a hand was laid on his shoulder. Jayden looked to see Yang, giving him a soft look of concern. Jayden smiled and mouthed the words 'I'm ok.'

Yang understood it as she also smiled and turned from Jayden to the briefing. Jayden did the same and listened to the rest

[Line Break]

Jayden sliced one AK through it's chest before ducking underneath another's strike. Jayden fired Bloom out of Scatter and hit it in the back of the head

Jayden jumped off of the AK and grabbed Bloom before using his semblance to cut a group of them in half. Jayden landed on the ground and sheathed Bloom

He looked over at Yang, who tripped one before punching it's head into the ground, instantly destroying it

Yang blocked a strike from one and punched it in the face before using her gauntlets shotgun feature to make her spin and hit it's knee. Yang uppercutted it

Jayden saw an AK going to hit Yang from behind and shot Bloom at it. Bloom hit the AK in the face and spiraled back toward Jayden, who grabbed it and sped towards the AK to cut it in half

Yang looked back at Jayden and nodded in thanks. Jayden nodded back before they went back to back

The AKs surrounded them, ready to detain or kill them. One activated it's miniguns attached to it

"Intruders, identify yourselves." It ordered them

Thankfully, Jayden and Yang weren't in the mood to listen. Jayden fired Bloom at that AK and cut it in half

The rest activated their respective weapons. Two AKs with blades ran at Yang, only to get hit with a haymaker that she threw

Jayden sliced through three before sheathing Bloom at the right time to make it look like they fell apart on the sheath of Bloom

Jayden looked up at one and shot Bloom at it. Bloom hit it and spun up into the air. Jayden ran up, jumped on top of the AK before aiming Scatter at it and firing to boost himself into the air

Jayden kicked Bloom at the AK behind it, which now had a sword shoved through it's head

Jayden ran up and grabbed Bloom before ripping it out. Jayden looked over at Yang to see that the rest were taken care of. Jayden smiled upon seeing that she was ok and walked through the door that held the data they were looking for

This was only the start of these missions

Hello everyone! Not much to say this time, but I do hope you enjoyed this chapter. I was unsure of where I wanted this to go at first, but I figured it out

Well, I have to go now. Love ya and see ya later!
