Island of Patch

Xiao Long House

Raven walked up to the door and was trying to knock on the door but hesitate 'This is not going to go well,' then went through with it and finally hit the door, then waited a couple of moments then heard movements and then saw the door move, Taiyang looked at his ex-wife with a confusion "Hey Rav?"

"Hi Tai," Raven looked down at the ground. Tai went to hug, Raven stopped him by raising a hand, "May I come in?"

Tai immediately was snapped out of his daze, "Oh um yeah come on in."

Raven immediately went to the living room a small smile crept on her face 'Nothing has changed,' small tears started to roll down Raven's cheek.

Tai noticed and got worried "Raven, what happened?"

Raven looked back to her ex-husband and in a cold broken voice "Could we sit down what I am going to say isn't pretty."

After both had made there way to the living room Raven slowly opened and closed her mouth for a bit before finally speaking, "As of yesterday the huntress by the name of Summer Rose was reported dead killed by grimm while protecting a village." Raven looked up at the face in disbelief then sighed "and I am also leaving for Beacon to stay with Ozpin."

Tai didn't know what to say and just stared at Raven in disbelief, "Please Raven, don't lie to me." Raven just stared at him with a cold dead stare which was all the confirmation he needed, "Dear gods," leading to both adults looking down.

"MOMMA," both adults snapped out of there trance as a yellow mane ran and tackled Raven "Hi there firecracker," Raven went to pat Yang's head only for her to move away "NO," Yang screamed, Raven gave her a small smile "and why not?" Yang gave an embarrassed look and mumbled "It took me a long time to get it like yours." Raven gave a small chuckle making Yang smile "What were you telling dad?" Raven smile lessened "That I am going to be staying at Beacon for the time being," Yang frowned a bit, "and Summer?" Raven winced a bit " Summer is….. going with me we're going to start helping Ozpin with Beacon" Yang smiled "Okay," Raven looked up at the clock "Well gotta go."

"Momma?"

"Yes, sweety?"

"Will you come back?"

"Of Course Firecracker, I will come back."

Rose Branwen house

Neo came awake to feel herself being wrapped in another's arms. At first, she was startled and panicked, but then she saw two little wolf ears on top of a head that was nuzzled into her collarbone. Her panic subsided as she watched tears twitch every time she breathed. Then she came to realize her surroundings. "Oh, right," Neo thought as she remembered everything that happened recently. She hugged the wolf faunus in her arms tighter and starts crying quietly. Soon, Ruby started wiggling in Neo's hold. "Too tight," the girl mumbled into Neo's shirt. She struggled for a moment, but she must have noticed Neo's crying because she stopped after managing to look up at Neo.

"Are you Okie, Neo?"

Neo only shook her head in response. Ruby hugged Neo and Rubbed her ears "I am sorry, Neo I nt sure wht hapned, but I know tht it was hard so, cry I'll be here to mke you hapy."

As both kept on hugging the door to the room opened "Hi Momma," Ruby smiled, Raven smiled as she hugged both girls,

"Neo, I know it hurts, but your mom wouldn't want you to be sad all the time," Raven smiled down "Come on we need to get ready to leave."

"Why, momma," Ruby looked

"We need to talk to your grandpa," as soon as Raven said this Ruby smiled and jumped up and down.

"Really!"

"Yes," Raven looked at Neo who was worried, "Don't worry Neo he won't make fun of you. He may be cryptic, but he's nice...usually." The last bit of Raven's statement obviously did not inspire confidence in the small child.

"Oh, he's supa cool Neo, he always has cookies!" Ruby hopped up and down in her excitement. Then she suddenly stopped. "Wat, why are we goin to see granpa?" the small wolf faunus asked with her head adorably cocked to the side.

Raven sighed, "He wants us to live at Beacon, with him." Raven wasn't too shocked to see the cheshire grin on Ruby's face. "Really?" the small girl asked, practically vibrating with excitement. Neo and Raven couldn't help but smile at Ruby.

Ozpin's tower

Ozpin looked up from his work as he saw the door to the elevator move, "GRANDPA!" He smiled as he got up only to feel a small weight on his torso, "hi." Ruby looked up at Ozpin giving a wide smile.

"Hello, Ruby," Ozpin looked up at the cowering girl behind Raven "and you must be Neo if I'm not mistaken." Neo looked up to the man noticing small similarities between him and Summer from their posture to the kind look in their eyes. Once again, Neo felt safe just by looking into his eyes. She gave him a curt nod to confirm who she was. Then the gray-haired man's expression softened, "I am so sorry to hear about your mother." Neo gave a small nod. Ozpin tried giving the girl an inviting smile, "It's okay, you can talk to me." Neo looked down then tried to speak only to have the raspy noise come out instead of her voice and sharp pain ripped through her throat. Ozpin saw this and his expression twisted with concern. He immediately looked to his daughter in law for answers, who was now tending to the multicolored girl.

"Neo, you need to stop trying to talk until your throat heals more. The grimm smoke and regular smoke did a lot of damage," Raven said while trying to console the child. Ozpin bit back his pity for the child. Despite his original reservations about her and their initial conflict, Raven was a good woman and an even better mother. Neo and Ruby were in good hands, even if he was giving those hands help.

"Raven...Thank you for being a loving wife to my daughter and an amazing mother to my granddaughter. I know having you move here to Beacon will be hard on you and the girls. But I promise that myself and the rest of the staff will do everything in our power to help," Ozpin said softly, each word genuine and completely heartfelt.

Raven looked back at him with a myriad of emotions, "Thank you."

"Can I hav some cookies now?" Ruby asked quietly, but still breaking the bittersweet atmosphere. Ozpin sighed happily at his little granddaughter, "yes, you may, why don't you ask Neo if she would like some too." Ruby's head snapped over to the fox faunus with a huge grin plastered on it. Neo nodded her head vigorously. Ozpin chuckled and reached down to the lowest right drawer on his desk. Opening the drawer that was filled with cookies ' So that's where Summer got all those damn cookies,' Raven smiles as she saw Ruby swallow the cookie and Neo giggle
