RWBY: Absolution

Chapter 2: The Past Part 2 (Team IRIS)

Age 2

"And there she is!" Jacques Schnee said as he picked up his newborn girl with a wide smile on his, "Our future heiress." Jacques looked at his wife, "Have you thought of a name for her?"

"Weiss," she said, "Weiss Schnee."

Jacques smiled, when their two older children Winter Schnee who was 6 years old, and Wynn Schnee who was two about to turn 3. Winter immediately went up as they all looked at a sleeping Weiss. The mother however saw that Wynn didn't move but stood there looking at them, "Come Wynn say hello to your little sister."

Wynn obeyed and looked at her, 'Life. A new life.' He then saw that Weiss awoke again and saw Wynn and began to grab for him.

His mother laughed, "I think she wants you to hold her Wynn."

Wynn looked to his mother and nodded as he carefully picked up Weiss and held her with Winter right behind him. Winter smiled a big smile as Weiss also smiled at him, 'Family,' and in the first time in a long time Wynn smiled at his two sisters, 'I'll protect them both no matter what.'


Age 4

Wynn had started to become a really smart kid and was a lot more mature than kids his age as well. He even secretly had Winter teaching him while she had her school assignments to do, however at the moment he was at the mall with his mother and two sisters as his mother need to get more clothes for Weiss and Winter wanted some extra clothes as well.

"And that should be it right? Did you get what you needed Winter?" mom said.

Winter nodded, "Yes mother." Winter then looked to Wynn, "Did you get anything?"

Wynn shook his head, "No I don't need anything, really,"

Winter sighed knowing how Wynn was while Weiss smiled and laughed at Winter's dejected look.

"It's over you stinking humans!" someone yelled out in the mall as gunshots rang out throughout the mall, and everyone went into a state of panic as everyone rushed to the gate, "Get the Schnees!" Soldiers that had the symbol of the White Fang began to come out and charge at them. The Schnee discrete bodyguards did their jobs and intercepted them while one was leading them to the exit.

"Come Mrs. Schnee we must get you and the kids out of here," the guard said as he unsheathed his sword which was a basic bastard sword. He led us through an array of people but when we got to the door he shot from the back and White Fang members blocked the exit.

"End of the line Schnee."

Weiss and Winter were scared with their mother holding them to comfort them, "It's going to be okay, nothing is going to happen to you."

"Ha keep telling yourself that."

Wynn while he was talking was analyzing the situation, 'There is two of them, if we could get through then we'll be in the clear,' Wynn looked slightly to his right and saw the guards sword. He knew what he had to do so he closed his eyes and calmed himself, unbeknownst to him he subconsciously unlocked his aura and when he opened his eyes he sprung into action and sprinted to the weapon.

"Hey stop!" The soldier with the gun started shooting at Wynn however he missed him. Wynn was then able to pick up the sword and dash at them. The member with the gun tried to get away but he was caught off guard as to how fast Wynn was with the sword and was cut across the chest as he fell to the ground.

"You bastard!" The next member with a katana struck at Wynn but he was able to deflected it however this force Wynn off balance to which the member then kicked him in the chest sending Wynn into a stand which broke.

"Wynn!" His family called out.

'My family. I will protect them.' Wynn thought as pictures of him watching Weiss and Winter play, went through his mind. Wynn then raised to his feet with blood down from his forehead to his cheek however do to his aura the wound had healed. Unconsciously Wynn used his aura on his feet and on the sword and ran at the man. The man was prepared and went to clash with the boy however when they met they did not clash, as Wynn was able to go straight through the sword in his hands and cut into his side where his kidney were. After Wynn's aura broke as he began to breathe heavily trying to catch his breath. Wynn looked at his family who had shocked looks on their faces while Weiss had a look of admiration, "Come on let's get to the car." Wynn led them all out to safety to where they drove off home.


Two months later

Wynn was sitting in his room reading a book when a knock was heard from his door, "Come in," he called out and in came Winter with a sad face. "Winter what's wrong you look sad."

"Wynn can I ask you something?"

Wynn adjusted himself to his bed and motioned Winter to sit with him, "Now what is it you need to ask?"

Winter squirmed slightly, "I-I don't know what to do." Wynn motioned for her to continue, "I… I want to be a huntress… but father-"

Wynn stopped her right where there as he silenced her with his hand to her mouth, "If you want to become a huntress then go for what your passionate about. Forget about what father ask of you, because if you just do what others tell you and not follow what you want to do then you'll never be happy."

"But what about the family name?"

Wynn chuckled at her question, "It's only just that, a name. The name doesn't define you but you define the name that you carry. You are Winter Schnee, a girl whose dream is to become a huntress."

"But what about Weiss?"

Wynn ruffled her hair slightly, "Don't worry about Weiss. If she wants to be a huntress then I will tell her the same thing I have told you, and if she wants to build the families name through other means then I will also support her."

"Well… what are you going to do? Have you decided?"

Wynn smiled softly, "Yes I am going to be a huntsmen, whether father wants me to or not. So do what you want to do, but from here on out, whatever you decide to do know this," Wynn brought her head forwards as their foreheads touched as Wynn smiled sweetly at her, "No matter what I will love you always."

Winter blushed slightly and smiled with a tear in her eyes as she hugged her brother as she had made her decision, "Thank you Wynn."


One Month later

Age 5

Jacques was walking to his son's room with an angry expression on his face as he opened the door to find his son reading a book at his desk. "What is this I hear about you supporting Winter into becoming a huntress? She needs to be the manager of the family, an heir, or are you going to take her place?"

Wynn closed his book, placed it back on his table, got up, and started walking out when he stopped just behind his father, with their backs to each other, "Yes I told her to pursue her dreams, and no I will not be taking her place, as I will become a huntsmen whether you want to or not."

Jacques turned around and ask, "Then what of Weiss?"

Wynn was silent for a little, "Weiss will do whatever she wants to do and I will support her no matter what… however it would seem to me that which each passing day after the incident at the mall, she would probably come to a decision to be a huntress by the time she would be 11 or 12 years old."

"I won't let that happen. Winter, fine, you fine. But Weiss will be the heiress of the Schnee Dust Company!" His father yelled only for Wynn to chuckle.

"Whether she is the heiress or not she will be the one to define what the Schnee family name truly means. Whether she does it as a huntress or not," Wynn turned his head to look his father dead in his eyes with a serious expression, "Is none of your concern."

Wynn then left his father seething as he walked away.


Age 13

At the age of 13 instead of being trained by trainers specifically picked by his father, something he had done for Winter (and soon Weiss), he had went to a combat school in Atlas where he was hailed as a prodigy bigger than Ozpin and rivaled Signals own Drayce Draven a name he has heard about during his stay at the school on multiple occasions.

In the years his mother and father had another child called Whitley Schnee. Whitley looked up to Wynn heavily and Wynn would always find time to play with Whitley and Weiss equally and without Whitley knowing was protecting him from Jacques. Also as he said Weiss told him that she wanted to be a huntress, something he supported as he helped her with the understanding of dust and aura.


Age 16

Two years and a couple of months after, Wynn had received an invitation to attend Beacon Academy at the age of 16. He decided to accept it to where he finally met Drayce Draven.

"Drayce Iris Draven, Wynn Schnee, Altria Inas, and Rosaleen Marvel. The four of you have received the excalibur coin pieces. Together you shall be known as team IRIS lead by… Drayce Draven."

Multiple people cheered with Rosaleen, a purple haired girl hugged Drayce into her… assets. When he had escaped the death trap, Wynn went up to him, and outstretched his hand to shake, "The names Wynn Schnee, I have heard a lot about you Drayce, I hope you won't disappoint," Wynn said with a smile.

Drayce shook his hand with a smile on his face,"I won't, I promise, however I have heard a lot about you as well Wynn, I will also be counting on you to have my back."


Age 19

Through the three years at Beacon he had paid multiple visits to Weiss and Whitley however Whitley was already taken by his father however Whitley could not stop his love for his older brother something which Wynn was at least thankful for.

Weiss however was always happy when Wynn came home, as he taught her many techniques and moves. She even told him that she was going to attend Beacon which Wynn loved that he was able to be there for her in his final year.

Currently however Wynn saw his leader, Drayce Draven, looking out the window of the bullhead, "Hey," Wynn called out to which Drayce turned and looked at him, "What are you thinking about?"

Drayce smiled, "It's just that, I can't believe when we get back we will be officially in our fourth year."

Wynn smiled at him, "I know what you mean," Wynn said as he looked out of the same window, 'I know what you mean.'
