Frenda was silent as she walked on to the hospital, she kept replaying the battle over in her head as to how she could have done things different and how that might have saved Leo.

As Frenda walked to the hall were Leo was being treated, she stopped when she saw Fídi standing by the door with Faye and Wynn standing with her.

Frenda suddenly felt the need to run away when she saw Faye turn to look at her, but Maples hand on her shoulder stopped her for now "Relax, it will be fine." Maple whispered into her ear.

Frenda wasn't so sure as she looked back at the three, only to see Faye look away and Frenda's heart twisted, till she noticed Faye looked more ashamed then angry.

Then Faye silently walked up to the team in particular Frenda, Frenda watched silently waiting to see what happened expecting a repeat of last night.

When Faye was within a few paces of her she ran at her and bear hugged Frenda stunning the hammer wielder.

"Sorry!"

Frenda was a bit confused for a second "Faye?"

"I'm sorry for yelling, I didn't mean it, sorry." Faye muffled into Frenda's t-shirt.

Frenda smiled before she hugged the ginger girl back "Its ok I forgive you, I'm sorry about Leo too." Frenda replied feeling a tear come to her eye.

"Is that what you wanted us here?"

"Not quite." Frenda turned to see her brother, Ironclad and Snow, the latter staying at the back away from everyone.

Frenda was rather glad, she'd heard how Leo had ended up wounded and it was Snows blind hatred.

"What is she doing here?" Faye growled.

Snow recoiled at the reaction of the young girl "I just came to say thanks and good bye, I'm leaving for Atlas tomorrow."

"Good, now don't come back." Faye responded.

"Faye…" Snow tried to hold her hand out to the girl.

"I don't care, now go away."

Frenda jumped in and pulled Snow down the hall slightly "Are you really expecting them to forgive you on this?"

"I was hoping…"

"You're a fool!" Frenda shouted "That boy is facing a life unable to walk and those girls are facing an unknown fate and you think they will forgive you for that."

"Listen you, they blew up at you too and didn't you give him the pistol to begin with."

Frenda felt her temper snap and she punched Snow in the gut, Snow knelt to the floor whizzing "I gave Leo the pistol to protect people not to try and be a hero like you were, that's the difference between what the both of us did, I want to save people, you just wanted your name in lights ."

"I didn't." Snow struggled "I wanted Jack to pay, he hurt Leo and beat him in front of me for his own sick pleasure!"

"Which do you think Leo was think about when he was defending the girls, which was your job, because it wasn't revenge!"

Snow opened her mouth the say something but nothing came out she looked away, Frenda scoffed and started to walk away "Stop trying to ease your guilty conscious and accept you made a mistake." Added as she left Snow alone.

"That was a bit extreme their sis."

"She had it coming." Frenda sighed as Sininen put his hand on her shoulder "What do you want with her anyway?"

"Honestly we don't know, Atlas high command just said she was important to the world." Ironclad explained.

"Even I don't know why she's special." Tammy appeared holding up a still winded Snow "By the way Fídi did you mention your plan yet?"

"What plan?" Maple asked, as all eyes turned to Fídi.

"I didn't want Wynn and Faye to end up in those care homes, so if you two want, you can stay with me." Frenda thought she saw a blush on Fídi's face that was hidden by her hood.

"Really, we can stay with you?" Wynn asked.

"Yeah, well it would be easier to see Leo, but only till the three of you have a more stable situation…" Fídi was cut off by Wynn and Faye running up and hugging the teacher nearly knocking her over.

"Thank you!" the pair shouted tears in their eyes.

"Alright you two calm down." Fídi's voice came out a little high pitched as she held her hands above her head.

Frenda smiled and giggled at the sight.

"Well, sorry to kill the happy mood, but the three of us have to leave, head master, it's been good to work with you, hopefully I'll see you during the Vytal festival in Atlas, come on Sininen and you Snow." Ironclad ordered as he pulled Snow away.

"I'll be seeing you sis." Sininen smiled as he gave Frenda a hug.

"Don't be a stranger." Frenda smiled as Sininen walked away.

As the team went to go back to the academy Frenda was stopped by a shout from Faye and Wynn, Frenda turned to see the two walking up to her.

"Frenda." Wynn spoke first "Thank you for saving us."

Frenda smiled "Anytime, you two be good for Fídi though."

The pair nodded "Will you go after the people who hurt Leo?" Faye added.

Frenda looked up and saw Fídi silently watching the two "We'll see Faye, I might be needed to help more people at the time so someone else might have to do it."

"Oh." Faye responded looking down to the ground.

"Don't worry, bad guys always get their punishment." Frenda smiled before hugging the two and heading off to join her team.

"You ok now?" Beurling asked as the team walked back to the school.

"Yeah, I'm still down about Leo but I'll still be fine, I need to be, I have a load of material to tease you two yet and I can't let it go to waste."

"I am never helping you out of a low point again." Beurling groaned, as she lights another cigarette. Frenda giggled know she was lying.

(Later that night)

"You ok down there?" Maple asked, standing over Frenda as she lay on the sofa staring at the ceiling, her feet hanging over the side. Her letter to her brother laying on her chest.

"Yeah, you send off the request form?"

"Yeah I did, have to wait for tomorrow till we hear if we're going or not."

"I can't believe you lot want to go to the Vytal festival, especially after what we just did." Beurling sighed as she was leaving the room for another cigarette.

"Aw, come on Beurling, it will be fun." Frenda complained.

Beurling sighed just as she was leaving "Yeah right, Atlas fun, I'm sure they don't even have that in the dictionary, unless of course they have a law against it." Beurling added as she left the room.

"Still not happy, is she?" Frenda sighed.

"You can't blame her."

"No, I can't, still I would love a chance to have a go, besides SHAD is asking to go and we can't let them have all the fun."

Maple responded by just shaking her head.

The two spent some time chatting on what their plan would be if they got picked to go. Just then a small cough caught their attention, turning the two saw Tomoko standing nervously.

"Tomoko, is something wrong?" Maple asked as the wolf faunus sat next on the opposite sofa.

"No, it's just I want your opinion on something."

"What is it?"

"Well, see recently I've been having these dreams." Tomoko whispered fiddling with her hands "And I'm not sure what to make of them."

Frenda and Maple shared a look before the sniper asked a question.

"Just dreams?"

"Well, no I guess, feeling's I'm not too sure on when i'm around someone, I just want to be close to them and not let go."

"Oh, who is it?" Frenda asked with smirk while thinking 'Come on admit you like her already!'

"Your brother."

"What?!" Frenda and Maple shirked "But…you…he's…" Frenda stuttered in shock, till she noticed Tomoko smirking then starting to struggle to keep a straight face till she fell over giggling.

"Sorry, but you should see your faces!" Tomoko laughed.

Frenda and Maple looked at each other confused "I'm joking, I don't have feelings for your brother." Tomoko explained before laughing again.

"You minx, come here." Frenda replied and started to tickle Tomoko as Maple started to laugh, which Frenda started to laugh along with her friends.

Once the three had calmed down Frenda spoke first "So was all that a joke?"

"No, just the bit on your brother."

"Then who is it?" Maple asked.

"Beurling, I don't know what it is but when I'm near her I feel happy and just want to hold on to her and when I do, I feel safe and it's like I belong and never want to let go."

"Finally, she admits it!" Frenda shouted.

"Shh, keep it down if she hears…"

"What brought this on?" Maple asked.

"Well, when we had finished our fight in the fort and I was looking at her and I felt the need to kiss her and i had a dream where I was trapped and Beurling came and saved me."

"Oh brother, shes in deeper then i thought." Frenda joked.

"Am i really that bad?" Tomoko blushed.

"Well it's kind of obvious, you two are quite close." Maple smiled to her friend "So are you going to tell her?"

"Not now, I just worked out how i felt and I don't know if she feels the same, I mean I keep thinking she does but I'm not sure and I don't want to make things awkward between us."

"Take your time Tomoko, we're supporting you." Maple smiled as she put her hand on the gunner's shoulder.

"Is she your first love?" Frenda asked curious.

Tomoko blushed her tail wagging "Yeah, she is."

"Aw." Frenda smiled as she hugged her friend "So when you wanted to kiss her did anything happen?"

"Well, I'm not really sure." Tomoko groaned "But i think she wanted to too." Frenda saw Tomoko go into a day dream like trance as she thought about the incident.

'I am really going to kill them if they don't end up together.' Frenda thought to herself.

(Tammy POV - Shade Academy- the roof of Tammy's office- evening)

Heard two people walk up to her, she turned to see two cloaked figures, she nodded to one, who undid the cuffs of the other, as the second rubbed her wrists where the cuffs had been, the first pulled the seconds hood down before leaving the pair in piece.

"How's the kid?" came Sky's voice.

"Fídi said he'll live, I thought it was too late for you."

Tammy smiled as she looked at Sky standing before her, the hood of her down with her white hair free.

"Why didn't you fight me?" Sky asked.

"I told you, I want to save you and given how you gave up, you wanted me to."

Sky sighed before she replied "I know you still see the girl you had under your wing, but I'm not, I've got a lot of blood on my hands captain, not to mention their going to be after me from now on."

"I know, but I'm not going to have you in prison either."

"So, what's your plan for me then?"

"I managed to agree a deal with the council on you."

"What deal?"

"You'll work for me until your prison sentence that you would have been given is done."

"So, I'm a serf again."

"No, you're a college now, even if you weren't, you're under me and you were never my serf."

"If you say so, what are your orders then."

"Well first, tell me why were you after Snow."

"This cloaked figure approached the fort and asked for our help in catching her, I didn't really see their face, only Jac spoke to her, they promised a big reward if we caught her, that's all I know sorry."

A cry filled the air and Sam landed next to Tammy.

"Now, my next order is, remove your cloak."

"What?" Sky looked horrified at the idea "You can't be serious." Sky recoiled grabbing the cloak tightly.

"I am, look I know you hate wearing it."

"But I…"

"Sky." Tammy whispered as she walked up to the woman and put her hand on her cheek "That cloak is as bad as a chain for you, break it and show you're not with them anymore and back to me, that is what you want isn't it?"

"Yes, but it's been so long I'm…"

Tammy smiled "Hold still." she ordered as her hands moved to the clip holding the on, Tammy saw the flinch Sky made and effort it took her not to immediately grab her hands and stop her.

Once the clip was undone Tammy gently pushed the cloak off Sky, as she did, she saw a sight that made her smile.

Sky let out a sigh and her owl wings that had been kept hidden away were now free, the wings shimmered at the freedom.

"That feels weird after so long." Sky smiled.

Tammy smiled "Why don't you take a flight; Sam could use a flying mate." Sam made a cry.

"Captain I'm not...not sure if I should."

"It's fine, go on." Sky still looked unconvinced, Tammy saw a chain around Sky's neck, she pulled it out from under her coat and saw the pendant she'd given to her, it was still the shiny silver it had always been and the flying owl was intact.

Tammy took Sky's hand and placed it over hers and the pendent "Do you remember what I said to you when I gave this to you?"

"As long I'm with you, I can fly as high and as long as I want to."

"Then do it." Tammy whispered.

Sky took a step to the edge, she took a deep breath before she activated her semblance and blue highlights appeared in her hair, her wings spread out before she took off and flew high in the air, followed by Sam.

Tammy smiled at the sight, remembering the times she would see Sky do this in the past.

After a few minutes Sky landed in front of Tammy before hugging her tight "Thank you." She whispered.

"Your welcome, sorry it took me so long to get you."

Sky tightened her hold on Tammy "Promise you'll never leave me again."

"I promise, I'll have your back from now on."

Sky smiled and hugged Tammy again, this time with her wings to, while Sam made a cry to approve.

"I'll follow you my captain." Sky whispered.

"Glad to have you back." Tammy whispered.

"Glad to be back." Sky smiled.

(Meanwhile in the desert)

"I see my order wasn't fulfilled." Spoke a cloaked figure.

"Well she'd on the way to Atlas now so deal with yourself." Roșu growled "I lost two thirds of my people trying to recapture her."

"I have another request for you."

"Oh, who do we have to fight this time, Vale?" Jac spat.

"No." replied the figure calmly "I need to run some tests, if you give me a supply of resources, I'll repay you handsomely." The figure presented a big bag of gold coins.

"What resources?"

"Your usual merchandise will do and a secluded place to do my experiments."

"Your experimenting on humans?"

"What does it matter to you what I do with them, your quite happy to send people to be slaves why should you care what I do to people."

"Alright, but if this brings down Vacuo on our heads again and we'll kill you, your free to arrive at our new hide out anytime time you're ready." Roșu picked up the bag of coins and dropped a map at the figure's feet as she, Jack and Jac rode off, leaving the figure to walk back the way she had come.

Once the trio had left, the cloaked figure went to their backpack, once they lifted the flap they turned on the radio that was inside "Inform them the tests they requested are about to begin."

Nuts that can't be good, what's that person planning, well sadly we aren't going to see till Maples volume as we need to go to Atlas for Beurling's Volume.

Ok, so Sky has Wings, Barn Owls wings to be precise, now the only Faunus we saw with wings was the bat Faunus in the White Fang, now from what I saw of him I wouldn't say he was flying, more that he was gliding or parachuting, also his wings didn't look big enough to have enough lift to make a person fly to me.

So, I gave Sky her gravity manipulation semblance to remove that issue so she can really fly and not glide.
