Wayle was running through the streets. How had this happened? Why had Blake ran off like that?

Right, it was because Weiss just couldn't keep her mouth shut. Because she had to keep being such a bigoted fool that lumped all Faunus together because of her experiences with the White Fang. Blake had finally just snapped, all but screaming out her former affiliation with the White Fang. Although what she had said could have been interpreted as her still being in it, something Wayle heavily doubted.

Not that Blake had no blame in this farce. She had refused to let Weiss discrimination go, refused to just explain her point of view. At least Weiss had given SOME reason, almost a good one really. Except there is no good reason for discrimination like that. No matter how much a group of people kept doing wrong things, that still did not justify hating everyone else. That would be like saying: "I hate all humans because of team CRDL." That just made no sense, yet it was basically the same thing.

Wayle cursed, after Blake had stormed off they had given her some time. But she hadn't returned back to their room, and now they had gone out into town to look for her. If he had paid just a little more attention to what was going on right there and then instead of thinking about Latune and Amara then he might have seen it coming, might have been able to stop it.

And now team RWBY might be broken forever. It all depended on if Weiss would see her mistakes and overcome her distrust for Faunus in general. But for now he needed to find Blake. He needed to make sure she hadn't broken, that she was still herself. It was an odd feeling, this worry he felt. Normally it would just have been someone else's problem, but somehow these girls had snuck into his heart, had made him care about their wellbeing. And Blake even more so. She had somehow nestled herself even deeper.

An explosion caught his attention. He had this odd feeling. This feeling told him that Blake was there, and that she was in trouble. He increased his speed from a normal run to something closer to what Ruby did when using her semblance. He just hoped he would get there in time.

-Break—

The scene Wayle arrived to was somewhat chaotic. He saw Roman Torchwick, or at least he assumed it was, he most certainly fit the description, pointing his cane at the Faunus boy from yesterday. He saw Blake separated from the two by a fallen container. He also saw a bunch of people in some kind of armour with hoods and masks and the emblem of the White Fang emblazoned on their backs.

Then Ruby and Penny arrived, drawing Torchwick's attention with a shout of: "Hey!" prompting the man to turn towards them.

"Oh, hello Red! Isn't it past your bedtime?" He said with the kind of contemptuous tone found in men who knew what they did was wrong and just didn't care.

Ruby turned around to say something to Penny, something which Torchwick saw and decided to make use of. He pointed his cane at her and fired a projectile reminiscent of a firework. Amazingly enough he actually hit, despite the distance and Ruby was blown back by a small explosion.

Then something absurd happened, a sword came out of Penny's back and multiplied. Wayle stared at it dumbfounded as the petite girl jumped down from the containers they stood on and started spinning her swords around knocking about more of the presumed White Fang soldiers. The swords were flying about, spinning in a circle, blocking bullets and knocking down soldiers.

He decided to help out as well. At least, that was the plan. But instead he found himself being pushed down by a man in a black and red suit, with brown hair with red streaks, two horns sticking out of it and a mask on his face. The mask was different from the ones worn by the soldiers, it had red patterns on it and was smaller, lacking the fangs present on the others. It reminded him of the masks Grimm had on their skulls.

He had just about managed to parry the man's sword with his own, having managed to turn around just in time. He pushed the man back, entering a stance to figure out his opponent.

"I'm afraid I can't let you join this fight. I would have preferred to strike you down immediately and then tended to Blake, but it seems things won't be so easy." The man spoke, his voice cool and calm, with a large amount of confidence.

"You know Blake?" Wayle responded coldly.

"We used to be partners before she abandoned the White Fang." The man showed no hint of emotion.

Then he charged, sword leading with a draw slash. Wayle parried it with his sword before launching a counterattack. He quickly rolled back as a gunshot resounded, his opponent having fired a shot from his sheath. He frowned before launching another attack, a swift slash towards his opponent's sword arm. His opponent spun out of the way and launched a counterattack towards his head. Wayle simply pushed with the Force, hoping to launch his opponent into the containers around them.

But his opponent merely lost his balance slightly and fell of the containers they had been fighting from. Wayle wasted no time in pursuing, leaping down in an attempt to end it, sword leading. His opponent jumped back, avoiding the attack as his sword shot forward, propelled from its sheath with an explosion.

Wayle dodged and dashed forward, meeting his opponent head on. Their swords clashed once again, the man having managed to retrieve it before Wayle could reach him. Wayle used the Force even more violently just as the man shifted for a strike, managing to send him flying into a container.

The man was dazed only for a second, and by the time Wayle had reached him he was ready. A high cut was parried as a fist tried to hit a stomach. A slash towards the shoulder was spun around as a gunshot was fired. The furious blade work shown by the two swordsmen was immense. It was a dance of death, as the force behind their fight cut gashes into the ground and rent metal.

Neither would give ground, neither would be hit as they parried, dodged and weaved around each other, their swords blurring from the speed with which they were swung. A punch here, a kick there, a wave of unseen force and gunshots accompanied the flurry of swords. Finally Wayle was flung back his opponent managing to land a solid kick in his stomach. He moved to capitalize on the opening.

Then a wave of ice shot forth from Wayle's sword, causing his opponent to momentarily get stuck. But just as the sword was about to meet the man's neck a green flash appeared, accompanied by a loud noise as two Bullheads was split in two and crashed, forcing Wayle to jump back to avoid a piece of wreckage.

By the time he could get back to where his opponent had been he was long gone.

-Break—

They found themselves sitting on a bunch of crates. Blake had told them the truth about her past, about her history with the White Fang. Wayle didn't really care, he had no right to be angry at her for what she had kept hidden when what he was keeping hidden was arguably worse.

The police had arrived and questioned them, but apparently being Huntsmen and Huntresses in training meant they got off lightly. That, and the fact that they had stopped a notorious criminal and a notorious terrorist organization from stealing a lot of Dust.

Yang and Weiss had finally arrived as well, and Weiss looked very much not amused.

"Look Weiss, it's not what you think. She doesn't wear a bow, she has kitty ears and they're actually kind of cute…" Ruby went up to them as they approached and started trying to explain in a confused manner.

"Weiss, I want you to know that I am no longer associated with the White Fang. Back when I was with…" Blake started trying to clarify things to Weiss.

"Stop. Do you have any idea how long we've been searching for you? Twelve hours. That means I've had twelve hours to think about this. And in that twelve hours I've decided…" Weiss stopped her, and when she paused an uncomfortable silence fell over them.

It was then that Wayle noted that Penny had left the group and was currently entering a car off to the side. The girl was mysterious, and somehow seemed… wrong. Like she was both dead and alive. Looking at her he wondered if she wasn't a droid, but his senses told him she was alive, sentient.

"I don't care!" Weiss sudden proclamation brought him out of his thoughts. He had done it again, thinking more about something that intrigued him than the people in his immediate vicinity.

"You don't care?" Blake seemed surprised, and Wayle didn't blame her, Weiss had seemed quite antagonistic on this matter after all.

"You said you weren't part of them any more right?"

"No, I, I haven't been since I was younger…" Blake started explaining again but Weiss cut her off.

"I don't want to hear it. All I want to know is that next time something this big comes up. You'll come to your teammates. And not some…" It seemed like Weiss had stopped herself from insulting the Faunus boy she was currently looking at. "Someone else."

Blake looked around and wiped a tear off her face. "Of course."

"Yeah, team RWBY is back together!" Ruby's cheerful outcry lightened the mood slightly.

They gathered round Blake.

Weiss turned and pointed aggressively at the Faunus boy. "I'm still not sure how I feel about you!"

He laughed nervously. Wayle had found out that his name was Sun Wukong. He felt like he had heard something similar before but couldn't quite place it.

"Well, regardless of his exact character, he is still a thief and a stowaway. Faunus or not, that does not change." Wayle decided to add his opinion on the matter with a disapproving look towards the boy.

"Hey, wait a minute." Ruby looked around in confusion. "Where's Penny?"

"She left earlier. Seems like someone came to pick her up." Wayle stated what he had seen.

"What! Without saying anything?" Ruby looked upset.

"She probably has her circumstances." Wayle gave a shrug. "Oh well. Let us get back to our room, it is getting late and we are all tired from the day's events."

-Break—

Blake found Wayle up on that rooftop again, looking up at the stars. She approached him.

"Hello Blake. Having trouble sleeping again?" He gave her a small smile. He had been unable to sleep with all that had happened and had decided to go up to the roof for some time with his thoughts.

"I suppose. I'm sorry I worried you so." Blake looked apologetic.

"Are you talking about earlier? I am not quite sure just what came over me." He looked back into the sky. "I just could not stop myself. Before I even knew what I was doing I was already holding you tight, almost crying in relief."

Blake blushed as she remembered what had happened when Wayle had found her after the battle. He had immediately hugged her and started whispering: "Don't ever do that again. I was so worried." with an unbelievable amount of sadness in his voice. She had been unable to even respond, so unexpected had his reaction been.

"So do not worry about it. You have already apologized enough." He gave her another smile, this time wider.

"Thanks. It means a lot that you were so worried for me."

"We were all worried for you. Even Weiss." He chuckled, a sound unusually happy for coming from him. "But on a more serious note. I met your former partner."

Blake's mind stopped working for a few seconds upon hearing his words. 'Adam? How is he still alive?' That thought came unbidden to her mind, Adam was not some average person. Then again, neither were Wayle…

"Are you sure? What did he look like?" She had to make sure.

"He had a mask that was bone coloured with red patterns. He also had horns and he fought with a sword with a gun sheath." There was no mistaking that description, it had been Adam. He had been there? And Wayle had fought him? Her head spun from all this.

She almost collapsed, but Wayle was there to hold her.

"Are you alright?" He looked genuinely worried. As a matter of fact, she had seen more genuine emotion from him today than the entire time she had known him.

"Yes, just a bit exhausted."

"I see…" Wayle stared into her eyes, concern filling his dark blue eyes.

She didn't quite know why, but she couldn't look away from those eyes. She felt like she was being pulled into them. She had a vague feeling that she was leaning forward, but she wasn't really sure, all she saw was those eyes.

Then a loud crash snapped them out of it, and they looked over to the doorway to find a small pile consisting of Nora, Jaune, Pyrrha, Ruby and Yang. They sheepishly looked at them.

"Wait, how long…" Wayle looked completely caught off guard, something that Blake wasn't even sure was possible.

Nervous laughter could be heard from the pile. "We just got here." Yang gave a nervous explanation. "At first I thought to leave you alone but then you looked like you were about to kiss and…"

"What, we were about to do what?" Blake couldn't believe what she just heard. What made them think that…? She looked over at Wayle again, who also looked over at her, and realised that they were suddenly really close to each other.

They quickly separated, blushing, as the others laughed at the scene.

Author's notes: Well, that was a thing. How did it all come out? I feel it might be a bit short but it felt right to end it there so... Anyway, do give some feedback, it would be most appreciated. Other than that I have closed the Poll now. And if you haven't guessed from this chapter, Blake won. Which suits me just fine.

I hope you enjoyed and have a nice day.
