Chapter 11: This is why we can't have nice things

P29: And we have finally got to the end of volume 1. Here for this great event is the whole of team RWBY.

RWBY: Hi everyone!

P29: Thanks girls, now do the disclaimer!

RWBY: Say please.

P29: Fine. Please do the disclaimer.

RWBY: Posidon29 doesn't own RWBY or anything else referenced in this story. He only owns his OCs.

I look down from the observation room In the Beacon infirmary. Andrea, Gabby, and Nathan were sitting on a hospital bed in patient gowns with a small black crystal next to each of them on a small table. Oh and there's blood all over the floor, can't forget that. A few days have passed and apparently those black crystals were used to control them. So they needed to be taken out. Unfortunately for the doctors they had to be awake during the surgery. 50% of the blood is the doctor's. But they seem normal now.

"Good to see you starting to care about your new team mates." I jump at the sound of Ozpin's voice. Yes, those people are my new team mates. After the surgery Ozpin took me aside and asked me if I would be willing to be on a team with them. I obviously said no. but then he said I had to or else I would take up my complaints with Goodwitch. So now I'm stuck with them. "I have some information on them. They were willing to tell me about their past when they woke up after the surgery." Good old Ozpin, always the opportunist.

"As you know, these three people also come from Earth. What you don't know is that I have been racing against their master to get to them first for four years now. You were the only one we were actually able to get. Now first up Andrea Volt. An 18 year old from Chicago. Her dad was an alcoholic. Four years ago a lightning bolt struck her and when she woke up she was here in Remnant." "She's 18?" I ask. "Ha-ha, old hag." "This is no joke, Damien." Ozpin said, looking at me over the file he was reading the info from. "Now, Gabby Triton. Her family lived on the coast of South Carolina. She loved the water and boats. But one day a wave took her too far out to sea and she washed ashore here. That was two years ago. She's sixteen now. And finally, Nathan Shepard. Born in Portland, Oregon. He was trapped in a forest fire and ended up here about a year ago. 17 years old." He said, closing the folder. "Are you going to talk to them?"

"Not yet." I said. "Could you just send them to my- I mean our room and help them get comfortable. I'm going to go and see team RWBY." And without waiting for an answer I leave. I go up from the infirmary to the dorms and get to their dorm room. I knock and come in when I hear a hello. I open it to see team RWBY in their Pjs, sitting on the floor with a glass bottle on the floor. "Perfect timing Damien, care to join us for a game of Truth or Dare?" Yang asks with a smirk. "No thank you." I say while shaking my head, "I have never played a game of Truth or Dare and I'm not going to start now."

"Aw." Ruby whines, "But we want to know about your world and its fun." I just shake my head, "NO! Weiss back me up on this." We all look at her. Unfortunately for me, Yang knew just what to say. "Come on Weiss, don't you want to know more about him? His life, his world, if he has any girlfriends waiting for him back home." I glare at her but sit down when Weiss looks at me in a pleading fashion. It's not like Ruby's puppy dog eyes but I still can't say no.

"Ok, time to start this." Yang shouts as we all sit down. "Now, average rules, but since Damien's here I'm adding a new rule. If we ask you a question about your world you have to answer it." Dang it. "Alright, but each of you can only ask me one question." I add with a smile. "Fine! Let's just start this." Yang says before spinning the bottle. It lands on Blake. "Truth or Dare." "Dare." "I dare you to take of your bow and let me scratch your ears." Blake glances at me before taking off her bow and leaning toward Yang who begins scratching. We all laugh at Blake's reaction. She spins and it lands on me. "Ok, because I know Weiss is just bursting to ask this, do you have a girlfriend back home?" "No." I answer honestly, causing Weiss to sigh and smile. I spin and it lands on Yang. "Dare!" she says, jumping up and down. I smile, this is just too easy. "I dare you not to ask me a question about my world." I smile when I see her shoulders deflate. She grumbles as she spins and it lands on Ruby.

"Truth." She says simply. "How many other weapons do you actually know of?" Yang asks her half-sister. "1,897. Next." She says with a smile before spinning the bottle. It landed on me. "Ooh! What's the biggest, most powerful weapon of earth?!" I sigh this is going to take a while.

-X-

"And that, in a nut shell, is a nuke." I finish. Ruby is rocking back and forth while the other three stare at me. "What? Oh well, my turn." And my spin lands on Blake. "Dare." I think for a moment before going in my pocket and pulling out a laser pointer. "Just look at this." I say and point it at the ground. Her eyes widen and she tries to grab it. I move it around and she follows it. Meanwhile we all are laughing. Eventually I turn it off and Blake spins the bottle. It lands on Weiss. "Dare" she says with the fiery determination I like in her. "Sit in Damien's lap." And that determination goes up in smoke. She looks at me apprehensively and I motion for her to sit on my lap. She moves over and sits on my lap. This is really awkward. She then spins the bottle and it lands on me. I look at her expectantly, thinking she would ask a question about my world, so I was surprised when she said "What are we?" I look at her face and can feel the other three's eyes burning into my soul.

"Well, I'd say you're my girlfriend, even though we've only kissed." I said causing her to visibly brighten up. "Thanks, I needed that." She says and lays her head down on me. I then look at the other three. "Could help me out with something? I've been put on a team with those guys who attacked us at the docks, and I'm the leader. I don't know what to do. It's bad enough I'm being made leader in the middle of the year, but to lead people who attacked me before! I could use your advice." I say slumping slightly, bothering Weiss. The four look at each other before nodding.

Ruby puts a hand on my shoulder not taken up by Weiss. "You're a leader, your first jobs is to take care of them. You need to put you needs second and theirs first." Yang continues, "You should also get to know them more. Knowing more about them will make both them and you more comfortable." Now Blake, "You should also make a connection with each of them. Knowing that they can trust you could help later." We all wince at the still fresh scars of Blake's flight. Finally Weiss looks up at me, "And you need to forgive them. What happened in the past is in the past, they're your family now."

I smile at how far they had come and quickly give Weiss a kiss before picking her up and moving her to her bed and walking toward the door. "Where are you going?" Ruby asks. I smile. "I'm going to talk to my family." And I head to my dorm. Before I open the door I notice the new team name, team DAGN (dragon). I smile before opening the door and heading inside. Each of them has decorated their area with earth things. Andrea has posters for some Anime, Nathan has a Red vs. Blue poster up and was reading a, X-ray and Vav comic? And Gabby was meditating while surrounded by ships-in-bottles. Weird. When the door closed they all looked at me and I smiled. "Ok people." I said, "Time to get to know one another."

P29: And that concludes volume 1. Thank you to everyone who has followed this story. Glad you like it. I'm not going to post anything new but I will re-do some of the early chapters.
