Here we are again, boys and girls. This story has taken a lot of thought in order for me to create the next few chapters, but the plans have been made and some shit is going to go down pretty soon. This is going to be a slightly shorter one, but I promise you that it is going to be very worth it for the next chapter. You guys are probably going to hate it, love it, and be shocked all at the same time. It's a bit of a risk but… this entire story is a risk in itself Lol.

Also, one more thing, I've noticed that I've sorta been writing a whole lot of flashbacks in this story. Usually, I don't really do that and only do when I want to explain a character's past. In this case, flashbacks are very important to this story as you imagine. Apart of me thinks that I can make an entire Team STRQ story with Marcus and his team being in there as well so there can be a full explanation on how exactly Marcus became the assassin that he is now. As I said before this story is a special case, but that doesn't mean I can take the easy road and write flashbacks every time I want to explain something that happened in Marcus' past. So, if you don't want to be spoiled scroll down to the story right now, there is going to be one more flashback scene this chapter, and I am going to TRY and cut down on them until at least a certain moment later in this volume or until volume 3. Sorry if it's bothered you at all.

Destiny Fated Black

Chapter 16

Time was running out, and so was hers...

Weiss and Yang were finally admitted to leave the infirmary finally just before the dance, which was great in Yang's eyes, and unfortunate for Ruby because now she knew that Yang was going to somehow make her go to the dance despite her protests that no, she is not a dancer, and no, she does not like any boys. Or girls for that matter. She wondered why she ever missed Yang's teasing and puns now that she was able to stay conscious for more than a few minutes at a time. She still had a rough concussion that would have put any other person out of commission for many months, but luckily and thankfully she had a large and powerful aura.

Weiss was another story, albeit not a bad one. The bone in her arm was healing very well and thanks to her aura she will be okay to start training again, albeit with Winter's spare saber. However, she had the misfortune of finally seeing for herself just how rude and awful of a man Jacques Schnee really was when he had Winter, Weiss' older sister, come deliver a scroll call to her personally since Weiss was ignoring his calls and messages. The conversation that she overheard was entirely unpleasant, and she could tell that Winter felt the same way and even some guilt as she was forced to put her sister though that. Unfortunately, it seemed Ironwood's hand was forced and he couldn't keep the man's daughter out of his reach for long enough.

He insulted her for losing how badly she did like it was her fault that Marcus Black and that colorful girl being as dangerous as they were. Insulted her for losing the weapon that he had apparently helped provide some time ago. It was all so very infuriating and Ruby never felt so angry in her life. That wasn't how fathers were supposed to treat their daughters! Fathers were supposed to be like Taiyang, who rushed all the way down to Beacon from Patch on foot and by car in order to see her and Yang and even went as far as to roll Yang around in the wheelchair that the school was kind enough to provide for her. Much to her dismay of course, but he wasn't going to let anyone else have the pleasure of rolling his daughter around while he was there. According to him, he was also there to make sure to punish his daughters for scaring him as much as they had for getting hurt. A very far cry from how Jacque Schnee was, and Ruby found herself all the more thankful that Taiyang was a constant presence in their lives.

"Aren't you missing out on work to come see us?" Yang askes as Tai rolled her into their dorm. Upon sight of their room, he widened his eyes and chuckled upon seeing the haphazardly built bunk beds. Yang and Ruby always begged him for those when they were little.

"Don't worry about it," Tai said as he fisted Yang's hair, making her groan and try to push him away. Keyword being try. She was in no position to be able to overpower her father in her current situation. "Ozpin was kind enough to register me as a temporary teacher at Beacon until I leave, and headmaster Albedo back at Signal was more than happy to give me some paid time off at the same time."

"Does he know that you're here getting paid as a Beacon teacher now?" Weiss was sassy enough to ask.

"Well…" Ruby giggled when her father winked and put a finger up to his lips. To his credit, he was even able to get Weiss to laugh at his little joke. He always had that effect on young women around him, after going to Beacon and being on a team with two women who would end up mothering one of his daughters each, and then raising those two daughters almost completely by himself, he's grown quite the ability to be able to make them laugh and-or happy all the time. Even the Ice Queen known as Weiss Schnee.

"Anyway," Tai finally deflected the question as he looked around their dorm room again. "I see three girls and four beds, where's the final member of the team that my youngest daughter has for some reason been chosen to lead."

"Blake…" Ruby would have laughed at the jab if it were any other situation. But Blake was still being Blake and avoiding them whenever she could. It wasn't like she was mad at them, the small amount of times Ruby was able to make contact with her. Blake's eyes were always filled with a certain amount of grief and guilt, making it clear to Ruby that she still very much blamed herself for what happened at the docks. "Blake is busy at the moment, hanging around with some boy that she met a few weeks ago… Hehe." She laughed nervously as she told the white lie.

Tai, knowing his daughter more than anyone else, was able to tell right away. But he knew what the reason for it was, and wasn't going to be angry or disappointed with her. "I see," He said, feigning understanding as he helped Yang stand up from her wheelchair.

"I don't need that much help." Yang protested despite bodily leaning into her fathers hold for support.

"Well suck it up because you're gonna get it anyway," Tai replied as he lifted his daughter by the sides effortlessly up to the bunk he knew was hers because of the yellow blankets. Yellow was always her favorite color because of how golden her hair was. "Tell me whatever you girls need because I came here to see you two and get to know your teammates." He nodded toward Weiss, who nodded back. "I'll be staying in the free staff room that Ozpin has stocked around here for situations like these. Thankfully I'll be the only one using it for now."

"Your presence here is appreciated, Mister Xiao Long," Weiss said, genuinely meaning it. "It is a pleasure meeting you."

"Of course," Tai smiled as he happily shook the young girl's hand. "Pleasure's mine meeting the girl who has to be the glue keeping this team together."

"Daaad!" Ruby whined.

"Well," Weiss smirked, very much enjoying that compliment. "That is certainly one way to put it…"

"Yes. It is." Tai's smile slowly faded down into a frown. "As much as I'd like to continue introductions, however, I have to ask." He sighed and shook his head as his mind strayed deeper into darker thoughts. "I want to know what happened that night, Ozpin told me as much as he could, but I want to hear it from you three personally."

Ruby and Yang swallowed nervously and nodded. From Qrow, they learned that the man who caused all of this used to be a huntsman as well, and he was apparently quite close to him and their father once upon a time. There was even the mystery of their mother's death being brought up again because of that man, which was most likely making it all the more difficult for their father given how close he was to Summer Rose.

"So," Tai pushed gently, urging the girls to begin telling him their side of the story. "Let's start with who did this to you. Start whenever you're ready."

After some hesitation, Weiss was the one to begin.

"The man who initiated the attack was one such Marcus Black." Weiss began. Tai's eyes shut and a sigh escaped from his nostrils. An apparent confirmation processing through his mind, though he was still being very attentive. "We were looking for our teammate, Blake, who hid the fact that she was faunus and used to be a member of the White Fang. When we found out, she ran away into Vale. We searched for her, and eventually found her right as she was about to be killed by that man."

"We couldn't stand by and do nothing," Ruby piped up. "She's our teammate and before we knew it we were up against him all by ourselves. We thought that we'd be enough, the three of us all up against a single guy. But then some girl with different colored eyes suddenly appeared and stole Weiss away to fight her one on one."

"From there, we really didn't stand a chance." Yang sighed, balling her hands into fists as their story continued. "We had someone else helping us, some girl named Penny that Ruby made friends with, but even that wasn't enough. Before we knew it, he knocked me over and was beating Ruby down into the ground. When I got back up I…" Yang huffed and crossed her arms, the memory was clearly still very painful for her to think about. Taiyang waited patiently for her to recover and go at her own pace. "I attacked him with my semblance, and like a fucking idiot, I missed and got my arm stuck in a storage container. After that, he grabbed me by the hair and smashed my face into the side of the container more times than I can count." She felt her bandaged nose as she remembered the pain, and then the many cuts and bruises that she still had all over her face. "I don't remember anything else after that, I was out like a light and the next thing I knew I was back at Beacon."

"I lost terribly against that girl," Weiss continued for her, all but eager to take the attention off of the clear. "She was too fast and surprisingly strong. I was disarmed quickly and she beat me while I was down. I was at her complete mercy and couldn't hope to even defend myself. I was knocked unconscious before Yang was. I didn't stand a chance against her on my own."

"Hm," Taiyang's anger was boiling underneath his skin, of course, it was not directed at them but at the ones who did this to them. But despite all that, he hadn't even heard the worst of it. When Ruby's voice piped up again in a pathetic squeak, she immediately had his full attention.

"A-after we were all beaten," Ruby shook and held herself as she remembered that night as clear as day. The trauma was obvious to all those around her. "He picked me up and used me as a shield so that Blake wouldn't shoot. They said some things but I wasn't able to hear what they were saying. I was too busy trying to reach the ground with my feet. But then… then…" A tear trickled down her cheek as she remembered the very specific kind of pain. "He… touched me and… I couldn't feel it anymore. I still can't now… my semblance… he locked it away somehow." She choked back a sob. "Then after that, he threw me away like I was trash, he could have killed us all if it weren't for Qrow and his friends coming to save us just in time."

"I really wanted to believe that it wasn't true," Tai choked out as he rubbed at one of his eyes. "I wanted to believe that my girls and their team didn't actually go through this. To think that you would go through this so early on in your careers… it breaks my heart. Ruby, I'm so sorry that you had to go through that." He reached over and scooped her up in his arms, hugging her tightly to his chest as she sobbed. "I'm so sorry he did that to you…"

"Not your fault…" Ruby's muffled voice said into his chest. "I'm just so glad you're here…"

"That's not all that happened," Yang said before Tai could reply.

"What do you mean?" The blonde man asked.

Ruby whined in his chest as she thought of the same thing Yang was.

"Before we started fighting… Ruby tried to coerce Marcus to become a good guy again. For a second, I actually thought it was working too. He walked up to us, he had this weird conflicted look to his face, but then he drops this line. "You sound just like your mother." Yang shook her head with anger. "I'll never forget that now. So now Ruby and I have a suspicion, and since Qrow won't tell us, I'm going to ask you."

"Did Marcus Black kill our mom?"

Tai hummed darkly as he thought about his answer. Then let go of Ruby and guided her back to her seat as he sat down in front of them. One look toward Weiss had her understanding of the situation immediately, and she left the room without anyone even trying to stop her to give them all the privacy that they suddenly very much needed. They all sat together in tense silence as Tai thought to himself, his face indescribable from the outside. Despite being as depressed as she was now, Ruby lifted her face and was at full attention as well. While Yang, sitting above her, was more attentive then she has ever seen as well.

"For a long time, I believed that he did." Tai finally said. "I never told either of you this, but Ruby might remember." Ruby perked up at the mention of her name. "But he was the one who delivered her body to me after Summer died. I hated him for a very long time for it, and a part of me still does now. But…" He sighed heavily, his barely restrained anger hardly being kept under control as he took in deep breaths in an attempt to try and calm himself down.

"Let me tell you about the day he returned her body to me personally."

/-/

Taiyang Xiao Long sat in the comfortable couch in his house in Patch as his young daughter of three years old laid down beside him with her head in his lap. Young Ruby Rose, such an adorable girl and the result of Summer Rose blessing him enough with a marriage while he was in a dark time once his former wife, Raven, up and abandoned them. The movie that he promised to watch with his daughter wasn't even halfway over by the time Ruby fell asleep, sometimes he wondered why she even bothered to watch movies since she always falls asleep before they finish. Then she goes and whines about it the following morning.

After laughing at the thought, he wondered when Summer was going to get back. She sent herself off on a mission that she hardly told anyone about, and not even Ozpin knew what she was doing. He trusted her though, whatever she wanted to do, he knew that she would do it. That was just the kind of woman that she was, and never was one to take no for an answer. Ironically enough, despite being the 'man' of the house, he ended up being the one staying behind to take care of the kids while the mother went out and made money for them. He wondered if he should count himself lucky or be ashamed of that, but no one would blame him for thinking the former. If anyone met Summer, they would know that she was absolutely not the kind of woman to stay at home taking care of her kids twenty-four-seven. Besides being a part of Ozpins inner circle, she was also a huntress. This was her dream, and she wasn't going to waste it sitting around in some house.

"Hm?" He perked up at the sound of a few tentative knocks on the front door. "That you Summer?" He called out as he gently shifted Ruby's head off of his lap and stood up. Honestly, Summer was back earlier than he'd expected. Usually, she was gone for at least a couple of weeks between each mission, and despite already being gone for a month he still expected her back at least another week later.

"It's me, Tai." A man's voice called back to him.

Taiyang widened his eyes with shocked surprise as he heard the familiar voice of his wife's old best friend. He still remembered how sad Summer was when he first left, and even vowed to go out and bring him back one day. Little did he know a decade later she would go and do just that. He laughed, Summer really did not take no for an answer when it came to her friends. That explained the mission that she went on so suddenly, she must have found a lead and then pounced on it at the earliest opportunity. Heh, classic Summer.

"Coming!" Tai said as he made his way toward the front door as quickly and quietly as he could, Ruby was still sleeping though he was sure that she'd be happy to wake up and see her mother again. She so very adored Summer after all.

He opened the door.

His heart dropped, his smile faded away and tears started coming out of his eyes before he could even fully register what he saw before him.

Yes, Marcus Black has returned, but at a very difficult cost. Summer Rose, his wife, and lover of many years was being carried limply in his arms. Her white cloak was pulled up and covered most of her body. But her face was still and unmoving. Cold. The life was no longer in her.

In his shocked state, Marcus sighed and knelt down. Placing Summer's body gently on the porch and standing up right as Taiyang fell down to his knees and began to sob as he held Summer's head against his chest.

Not again, Taiyang thought. He'd already lost one wife, he couldn't lose another so soon. Yang couldn't lose another mother so soon. None of this was supposed to happen! She was the best of her entire generation!

"Why!?" He screamed through his sobs. "What happened!?"

"..." Marcus didn't respond. His black eyes simply stared into Tai's as he looked down at him. His white hair was just as white as Summer's cloak, and his face was blank, coldly blank. He either had nothing to say, or didn't want to say anything at all.

"You did this… how could you!?" Tai shouted at him. "She loved you! She thought of you as her best friend even after all this time. When everyone else gave up on you she continued to believe in you! So why!? Why did you kill her!? Tell me!?" He shot up to his feet and grabbed Marcus by the collar of his shirt. Marcus didn't fight back, and as much as Tai wanted to punch him and make him pay, he was far too emotional to do so. That didn't stop him, however.

He reeled back his arm and smashed his fist into Marcus' face. White aura flared against yellow and the man barely rolled his neck to the side because of the blow. Marcus took one step back and the next punch Tai through at him was caught and deflected. Before Tai knew it the back of his leg was kicked, knocking him down to one knee, and then his head was pushed hard to the side, knocking him over and on his side.

"I can't tell you what happened," Marcus said as his aura flared over his body. "You're lucky I even brought her all the way here from where she found me."

"You bastard…" Tai sobbed as he punched the porch floor, cracking and splintering the wood apart.

"Daddy?"

Marcus and Tai's heads both snapped to the young girl that appeared in the doorway suddenly, her black-red hair was messy and stuck up in places and she let out an adorable yawn.

"Why are you on the floor? And who is he?" She asked, pointing toward Marcus.

"H-honey, get back in the house," Tai said as he pushed himself up to all fours and crawled over to block out Summer's body.

"So you're Ruby…" Marcus whispered to himself almost too silently for Taiyang to hear. "Hm…"

Tai stood and blocked Ruby behind him protectively and then turned around. When he did, Marcus was already leaving and disappearing into the night. Tai refrained from chasing after him in light of the desire to protect his daughter from the man.

"You're not getting away with this Marcus!" Taiyang screamed at him before he could get out of earshot. "Ozpin won't let it happen, and I won't either!"

Marcus stopped for a moment and turned his neck slightly to look over his shoulder and back at the man. He simply stared at him for a few moments, and if he said anything, Taiyang didn't hear it. He then turned around and walked away, disappearing into the darkness and leaving them all behind with Summer Rose's body at their doorstep.

/-/

"To this day nobody knows what really happened between those two," Tai said as he wiped at his eyes once again. "I don't know if he killed her, I don't know if it was an accident, I don't even know if Marcus even cared for her death. We all assume that he was the one to kill her, and most likely we're right, but until we hear it from him we'll probably never know what really happened to your mother."

Ruby and Yang remained silent as they processed the entire story that was just told to them. Ruby hardly remembered that night, and had no idea that the strange man that she saw that night was the same man that took away her semblance and decimated her entire team. Yang didn't remember the man at all, after waking up because of Taiyangs screaming the only thing that she was able to process was the fact that her mother was dead. She remembered that the morning after and throughout the night, they dug her grave at her favorite cliff and buried her there. Tombstone marking her resting place.

"We';; have to catch him then," Yang said as she gripped the covers at her sides. "When we're all better, we'll train and hunt him down and capture him. Then we'll force the truth out of it."

"Do you think there's really nothing that we can do about him?" Ruby asked next, contrasting her sister by taking a different approach to the situation. "I need to talk to him, and I want to honor moms wishes. If she died trying to redeem her best friend, then I want to see if I can help that dream of hers become a reality."

"Ruby…" Tai chuckled bitterly. Classic Ruby taking after classic Summer. They really were mother and daughter, and she looked more like her every day she grew a little bit taller. "I don't know if he can be redeemed, but one thing is for sure. He owes us all some answers. I for one am going to reinstate myself as a huntsman here in order to take on some missions on the side while I work. I promise you girls, we are going to get the answers that we all need to hear." He looked to Ruby after nodding to them both. "And you are going to get your semblance back. Have you been training without it?"

"Qrow has been helping me," Ruby said with newfound resolve. "It's progressing…"

"Then we have no time to lose," Tai stood up and offered his hand to Ruby. "I may be old, but I am a teacher for a reason. C'mon, I'll put you through some exercises to get you more accustomed to getting by without your semblance. And you," He glared at Yang, who hopped down from the bunk. "Need to continue resting if you want any hopes of making your sister go to the upcoming dance. No buts."

"But-"

"No buts!"

Yang groaned as she climbed back up to her bed and lied down in it.

Transition

Marcus sat silently in a makeshift tent held up by a stick and a dark green tarp underneath Beacon's cliff. Luckily for him, it seemed that his and Raven's secret fighting spot was still a secret, or at least Ozpin was letting him think that way. He was ready for the case that Ozpin, Qrow, and the whole fucking army of Atlas to storm him and attack. Even though he probably wouldn't stand much of a chance against that many people at the same time, it would at least be a pretty decent fight.

It was boring, just sitting around and waiting for Cinder to let him know when to strike and attack the CCT in order to put insert whatever virus she had that Watts guy make for her. There was just nothing to do besides sit around and wait. Something about that probably should have been something Marcus should have been grateful for considering the sores and bruises he still had littered all over his body. But he was more concerned with the fact that there was nothing in his body instead. He was starving, and Neo was taking her sweet time coming back to him for an update as usual. He started to wonder if she was intending to starve him to death as he waited here. It's been days already and the only one to bring food to him was Emerald after he had to explain to her exactly where he was. Which sort of put a whole damper on the whole secret fighting spot Raven and he founded.

He found his answer in where Neo was when a set of heels were heard clicking down on the little ledge that Marcus found many years ago. His eyes found hers immediately and he looked a little too hungrily toward the paper bag of food that she had in her hand. She scoffed and tossed the food toward him, in which he caught with one hand and took out the sandwich that was inside the bag. It wasn't a delicacy and it was far from pleasurable eating it, but it was enough to give him a decent amount of relief as he felt the food slide down his throat and settle in his stomach.

"Now?" He asked through the food as he looked toward the multicolored girl.

Neo shook her head and held up one finger, signaling to him just one more day. He rolled his eyes and returned to sharpening his knife. It was already as sharp as it's going to get, but he kept doing it just to have something to do.

To his surprise, Neo walked over across from him and fell to the ground with one leg crossed over the other, sitting in front of him as a child in elementary school would when they were listening to something that actually interested them. He glanced up a few times as the seconds ticked by, and when Neo leaned forward to get a better look at his knife, he sighed explosively.

"Okay, what do you want?" He demanded as he stabbed the knife into the ground next to him.

Neo shrugged her shoulders in response.

Marcus narrowed his eyes, they may have been allies but that relationship was temporary at best. Neo knew who he was and what he was and were he was from, and she treated as such ever since they met again in Vale once he found Roman after many years had passed. He supposed that Roman and he got along well enough, considering that the master criminal somehow found all of his murderous past comedic for some reason. But one day he was going to die by his hand, and after that Neo was going to try to kill him in return. He didn't want nor need to get close to anyone anymore, he tried that life once and look where it got him. Sitting in a fucking secret cave he only remembered by chance waiting to infiltrate a shitty little tower to plant a computer virus.

Maybe the frustration was getting to him…

"Do you just not want to deal with Emerald and Cinder?" Marcus deduced eventually after about a minute passed by with no conversation between the two.

Neo held up a thumbs-up gesture and smirked at him as if he figured out some mystery.

"And you'd rather hang out with me than go bug Roman?" Marcus asked with a raised eyebrow.

Neo shrugged her shoulders again and made some gestures with her hands. Marcus understood it as 'Roman is too far and you're the second person I can tolerate the most.' Perhaps he should be flattered because of that, perhaps he should be afraid instead. But no, he simply scoffed and smirked back at the mute. They weren't enemies and there wasn't anything personal between the two, but she must have made the mistake of not worrying about him stabbing her in the back. To be fair, he wasn't without any good real reason, but that didn't mean that he wouldn't. Although, Neo would certainly do the same in a heartbeat if Roman was in danger.

"Got a date to the dance?" Marcus asked as he decided to might as well talk to the girl. It was about three in the morning, so she probably had nothing better to do anyway.

Neo made a silent gagging gesture.

"Right, kids are probably a little young." Marcus snickered. "How many asked?"

Neo tilted her head back in thought, then eventually raised up five fingers.

"How many of them are still alive?" Marcus scoffed when Neo smirked impishly at him. Giving him just the amount of answers that he needed. "Yeah, I've had my fair share of dates to the dance," He said as he tilted his head back as he remembered Beacon, instead of forcing back the memories, he embraced them this time. Only because she wasn't all that involved in it all that much.

Neo raised an eyebrow at him and crossed her arms.

"Yes, I was young once too. Bitch." Neo giggled silently. "Yeah, it was definitely a trip some of them…" He remembered when Summer asked him to the dance as friends, and of course, everyone had the wrong idea about it thinking that they were going to start dating after that. They tried that once but thought it better to stay as friends. He remembered being able to boast that he would always be the first one she ever kissed.

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it. A man of his profession can't have that many emotions whirling around at the same time, it was just not professional. Funny thinking that, knowing that he has been letting those emotions affect him for a few weeks now already.

After some more casual conversation, which was mostly just Marcus talking to Neo while she replied with gestures. Neo yawned and leaned back against the wall of the cave. Apparently content to let herself fall asleep there. He might have thought that weird of her, but Emerald had to do it all the time, and if he was going to try and kill her, he would have done so already. Neo was unarmed and in grabbing distance after all. An environment like this would be entirely against the ex-assassin.

He felt something dark looming in the future, he didn't know what it was, but he felt like something was going wrong. Like Cinder had something planned up her sleeve and was going to act on it very soon. She was in Beacon, after all, soon after the Bullhead explosion she transferred into the school thanks to the traitor headmaster in Haven. So she was around. And if Neo could be trusted, then he'd be going out tomorrow.

If one thing went wrong, the entire school would be on his ass. So he prepared himself to get his hands dirty. No one could rat you out if everyone who spotted you was dead after all. Cinder was kind enough to inform him that the CCT was being guarded by Atlesian guards. Those idiots couldn't kill a Grimm without a whole squad, so they weren't going to be of any issue there. But if one camera spotted him, if he was too slow, if there wasn't enough coverage to hide his tracks and body as he snuck around. Qrow would be there, Ironwood would be there, Specialists, Ozpin, and every damn fighter in Beacon would be on his ass.

Luckily, he had a contingency plan to get himself out of dodge if he needs to. If all went well, it was an in and out mission with a few less Atlesian guards around. At worst, there's going to be a nice chase scene ripped right out of a movie.

It wasn't like they expect him to be in Beacon right under their nose anyway, so he had the element of surprise on his hand as well. Although that didn't mean this was going to be a free pass. It was why he sharpened his knife so much. Any aura was strong, but any aura could also be cut. In the case a student or worse, a teacher caught him. He would have the end them right there. He'd rather not, but, it was what he was trained to do.

The CCT virus plant was tomorrow, and with it, another step closer toward his freedom.

And that is the chapter. Whew, wrote this one as quickly as I could before I have to go on a nice long ten-hour shift. Next chapter is the dance, so we're going to get to see how Marcus' little infiltration mission is going to pan out. Lucky us!

Spoiler alert: No one is going to die

Pfft, as if I'm going to be that merciful.

But for a legitimate warning, there is going to be a death next chapter. If you don't like it when certain characters die then… well… I'm sorry?
