Inspiration: Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Chapter 24: Marriage Counselling
After they took their break, the people were surprised at the new additions of the audience, with Team CRDL, Vernal, Saphron, Adrian, Oscar Pine, Adam Taurus, along with Junior and the twins Melanie and Miltitia Malachite. So that makes them the new additions of the audience.
After speaking with one another, in Blake's case, arguing with Adam, they sat down and prepared for the next universe ahead of them
"I suppose you are ready to see the next universe?" .
"What is it about this time?" Weiss asked curiously.
"Just something a little more real", was Aeralyn's reply.
"Normal? What do you mean by that?" Ozpin asked curiously.
"You'll see it next."
The scene opened to Qrow Branwen, entering the room through a window. Qrow wore simple white tight long sleeves along with black pants and shoes. His hair was messy and scuffle, and that gave him a wild look.
The men present whistled at Ruby and Yang's uncle, impressed at the way he looked that looked like a man on the job.
Qrow himself was also surprised "That's me?", he couldn't help but be impressed by seeing himself on screen though this wasn't the first time where he was the main character.
"So the Drunkard enters the scene again huh?" Winter commented, resulting of Qrow simply shrugging his shoulders.
Aeralyn nodded. "Yep, and a more sober version of him if you ask me."
"I couldn't see Qrow that way, honestly", Glynda said, adjusting her glasses while Ozpin nodded in agreement.
"Qrow being drunk is probably what defines him the most.", Taiyang added.
"And his string of bad luck.", Summer seconded, resulting of the Rose-Xiaolong family at laughing at this while Qrow scoffed.
Quietly, Qrow walked into the room and removed a picture wall that revealed a suitcase. He opened it, revealing a pistol with a silencer next to it. He then attaches the silencer on the gun and quickly put back the suitcase and slowly walk around the house.
He was scanning the area with his weapon ready. And his target was his own wife.
"Wait ... I got a wife?" Qrow asked in surprise. Those who know him, knew he wasn't the qualified husband material so it was quite a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one at the eyes of his nieces.
"I wonder who the lucky girl is...", Ruby giggled at the thought.
"Correction, she's the unlucky one.", Raven pointed out, with Qrow mumbling at the comment.
"But why would his target be his own wife?" Phyrra asked, bewildered.
"Only one way to find out...", Jaune finished as they looked at the screen.
As Qrow was cautious in his area. In the upper floor revealed Winter Schnee-Branwen, wearing a black dress that hugged her well-endowned figure. She was equipped with a shotgun in her hands along with several shotgun shells and submachine gun ammo pouches strapped on her legs. She was on the top floor waiting for for her husband Qrow, shotgun at the ready.
The Atlesian Specialist and the Huntsman spat out their drinks at the same time, completely baffled at the revelation. The audience who knew them likewise wete completely off guard.
"I'm married to this idiot/bitch?!", they angrily asked at the same time while Flit and Aeralyn snickered at their reaction.
"How in the world did they get married anyway?", Weiss muttered, brushing off the fact that Ruby would technically be her step-niece.
"I don't know why, but I'm happy for them!", Ruby exclaimed with stars on her eyes of the thought of her uncle being a married mad.
Taiyang laughed along with Summer. "Of all people, it had be to be her?"
"Shut up, Tai!"
Ironwood turned towards Winter. "Of all people, it had to be Branwen?", he asked, almost jokingly.
"Please don't mention it, sir."
"Am I the only one wondering why she has a weapon?", Raven asked.
Qrow continued to walk cautiously towards the stairs and he was about to go up until he immediately stepped back and grabbed a photo frame of Winter and him. He used the photo frame glass as a reflection to try and see the second floor. He saw his wife, shotgun ready and opened fired a round at him.
The students and Oscar jumped at the sudden action; the adults were likewise surprised.
"This is going to be fun", Mercury stated with anticipation while Emerald was too focused at the screen to notice him.
"You said it!", Roman agreed with him.
Winter shoots the wall to where Qrow was and Qrow quickly ducked and evaded the shot from Winter.
"You still alive baby?" Winter asked while shooting a massive hole in the wall with her shotgun.
"Aren't they supposed to be married?", Glynda asked, bewildered..
"Maybe a subtle way to show your affection?" Port asked, although no one believed that this was a way at all, even Port himself.
Qrow made fake groans of pain under the hole before returning fire though it with his pistol. Winter quickly rolled down and aimed the shotgun at the wall. Qrow crouched down as Winter was shooting at him through the wall.
"Why in the world would they kill one another?", Vernal asked.
"They have been married for some years, but were also professional assassins who work for different companies in Vale." Aeralyn explained as the audience pieced out why. "Both kept their work secret until they had the same mission objectiven and they meet incidentally."
"They are professional killers then?" Yang asked, very surprised.
Flit npdded. "Both the company where Mr. Branwen worked, and the company where Ms. Schnee worked, ordered that they kill one another."
"Contract killing then?", Cinder wondered.
However, both Qrow and Winter were silently cheering their alternate selves in murdering the other.
Qrow reloaded his pistol while Winter walks down stairs. Soon the two met in another room, in the kitchen, where they continued their shootout against each other.
"How come none of them were getting shot?" Raven wondered.
Taiyang shrugged. "They're professionals, that's why."
Winter then switched to her submachine and she was looking around the area, trying to locate of her husband.
Qrow was being careful, figuring a way to ambush Winter.. He suddenly hits one of the potted small vase and quickly catches it.
The students and adults alike let out a sigh of relief.
"That was close." Jaune commented.
Unfortunately the lid fell of and hit the ground and Qrow sighed in frustration.
"I spoke too soon", Jaune added with his shoulders slumped.
"Looks like even your semblance exists in this universe, Qrow.", Ozpin commented with a chuckle.
Winter smirked and quickly aimed her shotgun to the wall and blasted a hole, missing Qrow.
Qrow managed to dodge on time and quickly started to run as Winter was blasting holes at the wall, missing Qrow every single time.
Qrow quickly slid to the floor and shot towards Winter, who was exposed.
Winter quickly moved out of the way and used the wall as cover. Qrow slides to the kitchen and into the refrigerator.
"They're destroying the entire house", Summer observed, not wanting to imagine how much damage would cost them.
Qrow and Winter were impressed, but they were both eagerly staring at the screen, wanting to see who would win this one.
Winter moves out from her cover and used her SMG and open fired at Qrow. Qrow used the refrigerator as cover by opening it but holes went through the cover and he had to bail out quick.
"I don't know if Uncle Qrow is lucky or unlucky at this one...", Yang commented.
Qrow rolled out of the way and used the kitchen table that was made out of marble to cover himself. Winter stops her shooting and Qrow quickly pulls out from the drawer a pulls a butcher knife. Qrow throws the butcher knife and Winter easily dodges it and went the wall for cover.
"Your aim is bad as your cooking sweet heart." Qrow taunted as he quickly went to the gas line of cooking stove.
"I resent that!", Winter shouted at the screen.
"I wouldn't expect less if it's the truth!", Qrow added.
"It's a married fight." Ren joked.
"This is not how a couple should argue," Glynda pointed out.
Winter was reloading her weapon while Qrow continued to taunt her. "And that's saying something."
Winter quickly prepared herself before she open fired as she enters the kitchen. When she enters she was surprised to see a gas line was exposed, Winter's eyes widen a bit and a huge explosion happened and she quickly jumps out of the way
Winter looks back and saw there was fire and smoke on the doorway to the kitchen. She stands up and suddenly Qrow suddenly came out from the smoke and kneed Winter at the stomach.
Most of the audience winced at that, though some like Roman, Neo, and Mercury were having fun.
"Kick her ass other me!", Qrow cheered at the scene.
Unable to just sit there, she stood up. "Don't just stand there! Kill that drunkard!"
"Remind me why we are here," Raven asked Vernal.
"I don't know but I enjoyed it at most," Vernal told jer, "Although I have to admit, it's not that bad."
Soon the two were fighting on the room and were equal footing. Qrow throws a elbow at Winter but the latter ducked out of the way which ended Qrow hitting one of the walls and breaking it.
Winter counters by elbowing Qrow in the back of the head before dragging into the kitchen again where Winter grabbed one of the metal trays as weapon. Winter swung it and Qrow blocks it with his elbow before grabbing Winter at the shoulder and smashed her against the wall.
Winter groaned a bit and before Qrow drags her into the dining room. Qrow slid her towards the table. Winter struggled to get up but managed to grab the table cloth and a metal tray.
"Come on." Qrow said as he walk towards Winter from behind with a smirk on his face. "Come to daddy." Qrow tauned as he went to his fighting stance.
Both people went red at Qrow's comment, as did the rest of Beacon's students.
Taiyang whistled as he elbowed the man at the arm. "I didn't know you had it in you, Qrow"
Winter responded by hitting Qrow with metal tray that caught Qrow off guard. He was hit in the head and Winter quickly used the table cloth to bring Qrow towards her by the neck and delivered a head-butt followed by a kick at the gut. Qrow was sent crashing into trophy case, shattering the furniture.
Winter smirked. "Who's your daddy now?" she quickly ran towards the other room to get her weapon with Qrow behind her.
Most of the women laughed at this, you should never underestimate them, while men grimaced. Qrow was biting his fingernails at seeing himself getting his ass kicked.
Winter managed to grab her shotgun but Qrow managed to kick it out from Winter's hands and two quickly started to wrestle in the living room.
Qrow tried to pin Winter to the ground but Winter was hitting back with strikes to the body and head. The two continues to fight until Winter manage to trap him in a guillotine choke. But Qrow managed to easily overpower this and smash her against the wall. Winter groaned in pain but continues to keep the hold on Qrow.
Qrow continued to slam Winter against the wall until he pinned her against a mirror. Winter finally let go and landed on the small drawer against wall. Qrow was trying to remove the dizziness he felt from that hold. Winter quickly grabbed two small pots and hit Qrow with it on the head. Qrow was staggered by the blpw before Winter jumped on him and drags the fight on the ground. The two continues to wrestle against each other and landing different strikes until they got tired of it.
They slowly stoop up and they face each other and they look at side and saw their weapons on the floor withing a few feet away.
The two look each other again before they made a break for it and rolled into the couch and grabbed a weapon.
Winter has the pistol ready while Qrow has shotgun ready.
Soon the two were in a stare down at each other with their respective weapons ready.
"This situation doesn't seem to be a good one," Summer said in a grave tone.
Both Ruby and Weiss were likewise concerned for their uncle/sister.
Qrow grabbed Winter's hand to reassure her, making her blush and smile back.
Then there was pause of silence as the two stare each other intensely. Qrow saw the hesitation on Winter's eyes. He knew one thing that he was certain.
"You can't do it huh?" Qrow taunted as he lowered his weapon.
"DON'T!" Winter snapped, gritting her teeth as she glared at her husband. "COME ON!" A pause of silence before Winter shouted again. "COME ON!"
"It's not that hard to pull the trigger," Mercury muttered to himself, Emerald shook her head. She may be mean, but she appreciated a good romance.
"You want it." Qrow asked, dropping his weapon. "It's yours."
Winter tried to pull the trigger but couldn't and she was slowly losing her emotions with a sad frown on her face. Qrow could see that she was losing the will to fight. Even though they were assassins working on different agencies, they still loved one another as husband and wife.
A love they thought that they had lost a long time ago.
Qrow removed the gun from Winter's hands and quickly the two went to intense make out session
"What?!", Qrow and Winter exclaimed at the same time, in both anger and embarassment.
"Well, that escalated quickly...", Ironwood said in a deadpanned tone as the students flushed at the sudden display of romance. Ruby was crimson red at the sight while Weiss covered her eyes, wishing to burn away that memory.
Qrow and Winter continued their makeout session until they reached their bedroom, where the door closed behind them and the scene fading to black.
Some of the men had to cross their legs because someone decided to wake up.
"Ho, oh! Love conquers all!", Port commented with a laugh. The girls within Beacon agreed with the professor with a giggle.
"Hey, Qrow, when is the wedding?" Taiyang joked. Both Qrow and Winter at the audience immediatley imagined a large amount of whiskey near them where they began drinking from it in an attempt to erase the memory from their heads.
