Thanks for all the support on this, it makes me hate life less. (Feel free to leave reviews, I love reading them.)

Back in their cell after breakfast, the girls had a few things to talk about. Ruby and Weiss sat on Weiss' bunk, while Blake and Yang sat on Blake's bunk. Recent events had prompted Ruby to start thinking about the future "I don't care about clearing my name anymore. It would allow me to return to my normal life, but I have nothing worth going back to. I belong with you guys. My girlfriend, my sister, and my friends." she told the others.

The others all looked at her in shock, they all believe that she would be better off outside. Weiss was the first to respond, as she was deeply concerned for the girl she loved. "Ruby, I'm glad you feel that way about us. But you shouldn't throw away your chance of freedom to stay with us, you could do so much with your life if you had the charges dropped," she said. She didn't want to lose Ruby, but she also didn't want her to suffer unnecessarily.

Ruby sighed heavily "I can still do things with my life. That's why I want us to break out once we've handled our enemies on the inside. I want to be free, but only if I have you guys by my side." she explained. Her plan for the future was simple. Break out, deal with their enemies on the outside, and start new lives away from all the drama.

Weiss' jaw dropped "You want us all to escape and live together?" she asked in disbelief. It wasn't hard to believe that someone wanted to break out of prison, but not Ruby. She had a legal way out if she could prove her innocence, but she would genuinely be a criminal if she broke out. It would be even worse for her if she helped the likes of Yang and Blake escape.

Ruby nodded "Yeah. I don't want my old life back and I don't want to stay here. I'm sure it's the same for the rest of you. So I think we should start planning it, even if it won't be for a long time yet." she responded. She needed to justify it, she wanted to convince the others that it was the best course of action. As she would only go through with it if they agreed to it, she wasn't going to abandon them.

Yang smiled "Well I don't know about you guys, but that sounds good to me. Kill the bitches in here, escape, kill the bitches out there, then do whatever the hell we want. You can count me in sis." she happily said. She had planned on trying to break out eventually, so Ruby's plan sounded great. She particularly liked the idea of breaking out and slaughtering her enemies, including Raven. She imagined that Pyrrha would be willing to help them escape, as long as they continued to avenge her fiancee.

Ruby smiled back "Thanks, Yang. But we won't be going anywhere if the others don't want to do this." she explained. The girls were here family, and she would not do anything drastic without them. Yang's agreement was all well and good, but it was meaningless without having the others onboard. Staying in prison with them, was a better alternative to leaving with just Yang.

Blake looked Ruby in the eyes "I will agree, but I only if Ilia can come too. I'm not going to abandon her again, especially not in here." she said. Ilia meant so much to her, and she would choose being with her, over being free. Ilia had been hurt by her leaving before, and she wasn't going to let that happen again. Leaving her in Beacon would be particularly bad, given that she had so many enemies on the inside.

Ruby nodded "Don't worry Blake, I don't just want the four of us to escape. I want Ilia, Coco, Velvet, Penny, Ciel, Nebula, Dew, Gwen, Octavia, Arslan, Reese, May and Neon to come with us. Either we all go, or none of us go. I won't leave anyone behind." she told her. She was the leader of the Huntresses, and she intended to lead them out of prison and into new lives on the outside. With that in mind, she hoped her words managed to convince Blake to join her.

Blake smiled "Thank you, Ruby, I knew you were the best leader for the gang. I will happily escape with you, and I'll help with getting our enemies out of the way before we go. I'm sure the others will also be happy to help once they hear what you have to say." she thanked. In the grand scheme of things, she hadn't known Ruby for very long at all. But she could already tell that the younger girl was a much better leader than Adam ever was.

With Blake and Yang now onboard with the idea, Ruby turned to her girlfriend. "Weiss. I love you and I would abandon this idea immediately if you don't want to break out. There's no point breaking out if I have to leave you behind. So, what do you say?" she asked. It felt weird saying she loved someone, she didn't even love her father anymore. But she did love Weiss, she didn't understand how the feelings had developed so quickly but that didn't matter. She just knew that Weiss was incredibly important to her, and she couldn't bear to part with her. That's whey everything depended on her response.

Weiss leaned in and kissed Ruby on the lips, she then pulled back and said "How could I possibly say no? I love you and I want to go wherever you go. We should start planning right away, so we're ready to go when the time comes." There was no way she would ever willingly leave Ruby's side, so of course, she would escape with her. The prospect of a life together on that outside was enough to dispel any worries she had about making an escape attempt.

Ruby was delighted with Weiss' response, and even more delighted by the kiss. So before saying anything in return, she leaned in and kissed Weiss on the lips. When she pulled away, she smiled at her girlfriend. "Thanks, Weiss, I'm glad you want the same things I do. When we get out of here, we're going to start a new life together," she said. All she had to do now, was orchestrate the downfall of all their enemies and mastermind a large scale prison break.

A smile formed on Yang's face "Maybe I can get my redheaded amazon to help us out. I'll happily seduce her if that's what it takes, plus I want to get my hands on that sweet ass of hers." she suggested. It would be extremely useful if they had a prison officer to help them escape, and Officer Nikos was probably the best option. That gave Yang and excellent excuse to make a move on the already engaged woman, not that she really needed an excuse.

Ruby nodded "I never thought I'd say this, but yes you should seduce Officer Nikos. She would be incredibly useful and I know it would make you happy, so go ahead. But please, be quiet if you and her ever end up doing anything. Blake might enjoy listening and watching, but we don't want a repeat of the Arslan incident." she said to her sister. At no point in her life had Ruby ever expected this situation to arise. But here she was, telling a mass murderer to seduce a prison officer in order to secure assistance for in escaping a maximum-security prison.

With Ruby agreeing with her suggestion, Yang turned to Blake. "You can watch us bumping uglies if you want, as long as she doesn't have a problem with it," she said. She knew it didn't need to be said, but she couldn't resist being crude. Last time she said something crude, Ruby and Weiss became a couple. She was hoping for an equally interesting result this time. Fortunately for her, a certain redhead appeared at the cell door at that exact moment.

Officer Nikos smiled at Yang "Don't you think you've done enough of that for one day, I heard what you did with Arslan." she quipped. Her sense of humour had vanished when Jaune went into his coma, but now it was starting to return. She had developed a strange connection with Yang, and it was making her feel things she hadn't felt since her fiancee was still in good health.

Yang being the least subtle person on the planet winked at Officer Nikos. "You don't need to be jealous, you're more than welcome to join us. Or you know, we can leave Arslan out and have some one-on-one fun," she said, as seductively as she could. She was a woman on a mission, and that mission was to seduce the officer. She could tell that at least some of her feelings were reciprocated, so all she needed to do was push the object of her desires over the edge. Not content with what she had already done, she unzipped her jumpsuit and flashed her breasts.

Officer Nikos sighed "You and I are going to have a long talk about your behaviour, I won't be able to tolerate it much longer." she told the blonde. In this case, a "long talk" wasn't a euphemism. She was unsure of her feelings and unsure of Yang's true intentions, so they needed to talk about things. She needed an excuse to get Yang alone, so they could have their discussion in a private place. If she was going to cheat on Jaune, she had to be sure it was worth the guilty she would feel. Her love for him never came into question, but she had needs that he could not fulfil in his comatose state.

All I'm going to say is that Winter is coming. (Someone please shoot me for saying that. I hate myself for giving in to the temptation.)
