"We accept the love we think we deserve"

-Stephen Chobsky-

(Time skip: three days later)

(Location: Ruby's workshop Patch island outside of Vale Remnant)

The garage like place was very well lighted as a certain petite was working hard making something. However the workshop was a bit messy, there were many parts scattered around. Yet it never bothered the leader of RWBY as she continued to work on her secret weapon, something she has put a lot of dedication since the end of the academic semester. So much determination filed her wanting to make this weapon even greater than her baby Crescent Rose. Why? What could possibly motivate Ruby Rose to give it her all in making the greatest weapon she has ever made? The answer was simply, this weapon was for the vigilante known as the Arrow. As a request from Blake asking the team leader to make it, because the hooded archer has lost his best bow. And here she was, making a new bow for the archer hero.

After making the sketches for the weapon she started gathering the necessary parts for the creation of her ultimate work of art. It was amazing how a fifteen year old has so much patience when it comes to building weapons. The scythe wielder was currently making preparations for the secret weapon, wearing her safety goggles. She wasn't wearing her red cloak, due that she didn't wanted the piece of cloth to get dirty or broke she considered her cloak her most precious possession before her scythe. The working was making her face sweat she gazed next to her smiling at Zwei wearing goggles and the dog was holding a paper towel. She took the paper towel and wipe her forehead, then she glance to her left gazing at her other assistance. Barry stood holding the case of tools, but he was looking clueless like he had no idea what he was doing.

After Christmas it wasn't long for Ruby to called the speedster and invite him to her house again. She felt so much better after telling him about seeing through his memories knowing about his past and telling him about her mother. The burden was lifted and she felt so happy wanting to spend more time with him. There weren't any walls between them and she wouldn't want it any other way, she has asked him to assist her in the making of her ultimate weapon. The young Rose took a glance at the teen and smiled she will always feel happy whenever he was by her side. Remembering what happened at Christmas Eve when his aura went out of control unleashing lightning from his body. But she was able to help him and Barry managed to control his aura and new developed semblance.

"Screw."

"Screw.

"Screwdriver."

"Alignment adjuster"

Barry was confused hearing the name, so he took the closest tool and hand it to the petite leader. Ruby looked at the tool and giggled gazing happily at the speedster.

"Silly this is a wrench, I asked for the alignment adjuster. It's a tool use to align and adjust the weight of the weapon, if its too heavy it will affect the wielders movement during battle. I remember how long it took me to adjust Crescent Rose's weight, it was so heavy I could barely lift it. Now hand me the right tool Barry."

"Okay how about…." the speedster saw another tool has never seen before" this…."

The rosette giggled again removing her goggles" that doesn't even come close to the actual tool I'm asking for."

"I'm sorry I was never good with tools" Barry lowered his head in shame sure he was a big genius when it came forensic science and fighting crime but when it came to tools, he sucked.

"It's okay, I will teach you eventually. In the meantime Zwei, please show Barry the alignment adjuster."

"Arf!"

"There's no way…." the speedster paused when he saw dog picking a tool from the box.

"Good boy, see Barry this is the alignment adjuster" Ruby was petting the small dog.

"How does he know?" the teen stood shocked.

"I taught him since he was a puppy. That means I can teach you too."

The vigilante felt stupid after seeing Zwei picking the right tool, meaning he was smarter than him. The gray dog was wagging his tail looking all happy as usual it made him feel ashamed that he didn't know about tools when a dogs does, and knows more than him. The speedster sighed feeling like he was useless to Ruby she was counting on him to help her with weapon she was making and he was doing the opposite. It made him wonder why she was being nice to him when he screwed up. But then again, this was Ruby a girl with such a big kind heart that will never get angry with anyone.

"Look Ruby I'm sorry if I'm slowing you in your work."

"It's okay I'm not angry with you or anything, I appreciate your help no matter if you get it wrong. Just help me out on this, the following tools you will know them trust me" she smiled.

"Okay…." he really hope he doesn't get wrong again.

"Hammer...you do know what the hammer looks like?" the petite was giving him a teasing smile.

"Yes I do know what that is" the speedster has smiled taking the hammer from the tool box.

"Good, okay next strawberry pop tarts."

"Um...that's not here."

"Of course it isn't here silly, it's in the kitchen. Go and bring me a pack" she childishly stuck her tongue.

"You're doing that on purpose."

"Nope, I need my pop tarts whenever I'm in my workshop. It gives me the right energy."

"Right I'll be right back."

"Oh don't forget to put them in the toaster!"

Barry rolled his eyes leaving the shop and walking to the house. He didn't believe the whole needing energy because as far as he knows pop tarts are just pastry snacks. Mentally he was smiling he couldn't say no to Ruby no matter if it was a silly request or something else. She can be childish sometimes and sometimes she can act like a mature girl and he has seen that side of hers. He remembered her plan to take down the Nevermore back at the Beacon initiation, it was truly a good plan. Then her plan to save the kids from the school bus during their first mission, she was truly amazing. As he was heading towards he realized his heart was beating a little quicker than usual. This was feeling, he knew it very well because he had it for Iris for so long. The speedster stopped reaching the kitchen looking shocked.

"No it can't be...it's not possible. I'm not, I mean Ruby I'm not…."

"Barry watch your step!"

Too late, he tripped on the floor landing on his back.

"Sorry about that Barry, I just mopped the floor" Taiyang felt bad helping the teen on his feet.

"I'm okay didn't hurt myself" he chuckled.

"Why are you here? Did Ruby kicked you out of her workshop?"

"She wants pop starts, says she needs the energy."

"That's my daughter for you can't get enough sugar in her system" the blond man gave a laugh going to the top counter, opening it revealing the box of strawberry pastries.

"Do you know what she's making?"

"Obviously a weapon of the sorts, it's always being her specialty" he smiled removing the pop tarts from the package and putting them in the toaster.

"I know it's a weapon but I don't have a clue what kind of weapon is. I don't know if the weapon is for her."

"That can't be Ruby loves her scythe more than anything in the world, she would never replace it."

"That's pretty much true" Barry stood in thought of course he knew Ruby loves Crescent Rose, its her baby.

"Have you try asking her?"

"She keeps saying it's a secret and that she can't say a word until she finishes it."

"Well there's your answer, she can be very stubborn when it comes down to it. Looks like you don't have a choice but wait until she's done."

"I guess so…." the speedster gazed at something that caught his attention.

On a wall outside of the kitchen were some pictures. A smiled spread his lips looking at the family pictures, some were when Ruby and Yang were younger. Another picture of the rosette but when she was a toddler and she was accompanied by a woman wearing a white cloak similar to the young Rose. The features of the woman black hair with red streaks and silver eyes, no doubt she was her mother. One picture took his attention the most there were four people looking a little younger he recognized Qrow and Taiyang, and the woman with the white cloak Ruby's mom, he didn't knew the last person. A woman with black hair and red eyes wearing a red and black outfit, holding a red sword similar to a Japanese sword.

Taiyang smiled like he knew what the teen was looking at" that's my favorite picture…."

"Really?"

"We we're the best team in Beacon, no one could rival us."

"Wait you and Qrow we're in the same team?"

"That's right he was the brains behind the team and I was the brawn and there was no one like Qrow when it comes to planning battle strategies. I envy him, we eventually became the strongest team in Remnant. We won the Vital Festival Tournament three times in a row."

"Wow you guys were really something" Barry smiled not surprised they were that strong remembering Qrow was the one who trained Ruby.

"We had everything, the strength, the teamwork and coordination. While Qrow was in charge, Raven was second in command and she was as smart as him. But Summer was the best teammate…."

"Ruby's mom" the speedster knew this was a delicate topic for the blond man.

"Yeah she was really something, always caring for everyone, always trying her best" Taiyang gave a sigh thinking about his wife.

"Just like Ruby…."

"Yeah, I really wish she was still here so she can see how far her daughter has gotten."

Barry was about to change the topic when the toaster rang meaning the pop tarts we're done, something he was very thankful for. Taiyang grabbed a napkin and carefully placed the hot pastries on it.

"I will blow on them before grabbing them if I were you."

"Thanks" he carefully taking the pop tarts.

"Say Barry….?" the blond man started.

"Hm….?"

"Ruby told me about your mom…."

"She did?" the speedster was a bit shocked.

"She told me she was murdered when you were little, I'm really sorry for that. I know the feeling and Ruby does too. She understands you more than anyone."

"I guess she didn't told him all the details" he smiled knowing the rosette wasn't going to bring the truth about him.

"Thanks Mr. Xiao Long."

"Call me Taiyang, I don't like formalities."

BOOM!

"Ruby!"

Barry ran out of the house worried sick the explosion sounded near her workshop. When he reached the place he saw a crater with a lot of smoke coming out. Ruby was holding Crescent Rose in rifle mode looking all happy. Taiyang left the house and just chuckled not worrying about his daughter's safety.

"What happened? You okay?"

"I'm sorry I've being wanting to test the high impact dust rounds you gave me, I couldn't resist" she gave a cute smile.

"Why do I even get worried in the first place?" the speedster just sighed.

(Scene change)

(Location: deep forest somewhere in the Vacuo kingdom)

The snow kept on falling covering the what was once the grassy paths. A lone figure stood hidden behind a tree dressed in all black and wearing a black mask covering his mouth. Dressed as an assassin of the night, he who becomes one with the shadows. His breathing was very slow and his eyes were focused on his surroundings, patiently waiting for the moment to strike. Oliver needed to concentrate this was no ordinary fight, his opponent was clever, cunning and deadly. The key to win this confrontation lies in catching the opponent off guard in a surprise attack. That was the reason why he was hiding trying to blend in with his surroundings. The cold weather wasn't really bothering since he's being in colder places before, his thoughts were when he first fought Ra's Al Ghul on top of that mountain.

The archer vigilante had to smiled at Blake not realizing she was this good at stealth. He was supposed to be looking for her, but it seems that all changed. Now she was the one looking for him like a predator about to hunt its prey. As he stood calm behind the tree his eyes seemed to be playing tricks on him but he knew better. He was able to see the entire terrain of the forest and perfectly clear every area, this has happened before back at Christmas Eve. At first he thought it was just an hallucination, but now he concluded this has something to do with his aura. Oliver was surprised that he was able to spot his opponent hiding in a tree branch pretty far away from his location. This was his chance to catch Blake off guard, as long as she doesn't see him he will have the upper hand. Grabbing the handle of his katana he dashed off towards his opponent.

Blake was shocked seeing Oliver running towards her. The cat faunus was wearing the same black ninja outfit only her dark raven hair was tied on a pony tail and his feline ears were exposed. She didn't know how he was able to spot her, she was perfectly well hidden. The faunus put those thoughts aside now that he knew her location her only choice was confront him face to face, dismissing the element of surprise. She unsheathed her katana ready for combat, she blocked the quick strike from the archer. Their eyes met they were locked in a fight on the tree branch exchanging strong attacks. The cat faunus jumped from the branch running from him as Oliver released a couple of shuriken. She blocked the projectiles with her sword cursing mentally she was originally trying to find a place where she can have the advantage over him. But with the vigilante charging at her, not holding back it was hard to focus on her movements.

Even with using her clones it was still making it hard to fight off Oliver. She knew he was strong and skilled but right now, he was being relentless. A sudden movement from the archer caught her off guard as she performed a somersault using a clone, their blades clashed. The raven haired girl gasped tripping she felt on Oliver and both hit the ground. They there for a moment their eyes meeting once more, and their lips were inches apart. Blake felt herself blush and at that moment she remembers that this was similar to ninjas of love. Izamu and Kureha's first meeting, their first battle, their first attraction and how the sexual tension started building between the two. A thought occurred in her head of herself and the archer vigilante kissing passionately, removing their clothes and beginning the intimate act.

"This isn't the time to be thinking such things…."

She lowered her guard and before she knew it she was facing the end of Oliver's katana reaching her neck. That was it, she has lost the match and it was because her fantasies got the better of her.

"That will be enough."

Dorell arrived as Oliver sheathed his sword and Blake stood in her place not wanting to stare at her father and teacher. She was ashamed, she was taught better than that. Telling him that she lowered her guard because she was thinking indecent things with the teen next to her will be a blow to her pride. Though she wasn't looking Dorell knew something was bothering her as part of his paternal instincts and not just him, Oliver as well got worried by her behavior. The faunus got up sheathing her sword back and both teens gave a bow to the older man.

"I'm impressed Oliver, you are truly skills. My compliments to your trainers."

"Thank you but I'm sure you are as skill if you were able to teach Blake" the archer removed his mask.

"Milena should be done with the meal by now, Oliver why don't you meet us ahead? We'll follow shortly."

The archer gazed at the cat faunus and was still worried but he gave a nod, as he left.

"Blake walk with me child."

The raven haired girl removed her mask following her master. As she thought he was going to scold her for making such a mistake. With her experience she would have never done something like it. But after reading ninjas in love her fantasies were become a part of her and they were involve around Oliver. She thought she was Kureha and the archer as Izamu, every time she thinks about her and him in those kinds of situations it bothered her in a arousal way. This kind of thing was troubling her thinking what she feels for Oliver was wrong, and it wasn't what she wants to believe. The truth remains she was afraid of this new and alien feeling she has developed for the archer vigilante for a while and she didn't know what to do about it, should she follow it or ignore it?

"I can explain what happened…."

"Do you child?"

"I let my guard down because I lost focus…."

"A mistake that would have easily cost you your life, Oliver would have remove your head on the spot."

The cat faunus gave a sigh of course he was right and it made her feel worst.

"Blake my child, I have raised and taught you everything I know. You would never made a mistake like that, what is troubling you?"

"It's Oliver there's something about him I...I mean I might feel something for him, I don't know what is it's so confusing…."

"Love is such a powerful emotion stronger than fear. There is no shame in feeling that way, Oliver is a good and kind person with a strong will."

"Is it?"

"What do you mean child?"

"I don't know what it is, I have no idea if its really...love or just a physical attraction. Maybe it's not real and I'm deluding myself. This is reality and I don't want to believe its too good to be true, I look at him and I…." she was irritated feeling her cheeks heating up.

Dorell chuckled" I see, so that's what is really troubling you. During the fight you got thoughts of you and Oliver engage in intense intimate training."

Blake stood with her mouth wide open, her face turned red. She couldn't believe her adoptive father and teacher said it like that, or had the guts to say it. Instead the older man just chuckled again like it wasn't bothering him, like he had no dignity to the topic whatsoever.

"Now don't look at me like that child. I was young too and you weren't the only one who got those kinds of thoughts, I am married after all."

"Then you must understand how I feel. What if I feel for Oliver is only the physical attraction, that all I want is to….do it with him" she muttered the last part feeling embarrassed" and there's no love, I don't want to lift my hopes up thinking that is real."

"I understand perfectly how you feel child. Its the first time you are feeling this way for someone, you still don't know if its love yet. It is only natural you are feeling conflicted and you don't know what to do, take the risk of finding out or risk never telling him and severe any chances of feeling the emotion that is love."

"Until I realize what I'm feeling I won't take that risk. Getting hurt from an insult because I'm a faunus is one thing, but getting hurt from heartbreak is one pain I refuse to feel."

"When I first met your mother, I felt something strong for her. Like you I was afraid if it was love or something I was deluding myself with. There was only one thing I could do, do you know what it is?"

Blake only shook her head and he replied with a smile.

"I decided to explore the feeling, by spending time with Milena. When I realize it was love I took the chance to tell her how I feel and I was joyous to know she felt the same."

"But you had to take the risk that she might not want you…."

"That's because love is about taking risk child. It is something that happens unexpectedly and you don't know its love until the last minute. So when you realize the truth you have to take that risk and give it a chance. If you don't, you'll never know and you might regret it in the long run."

"I still don't know how I feel, but I hope I'll be able to know someday."

"Until then, stay by Oliver's side. You will know when you're ready."

"Mas-I mean father...thanks I really needed this talk."

"You can always tell me your troubles anytime. Now as for your impure thoughts with Oliver it is either you are watching movies or perhaps reading a book with adult oriented material, am I wrong?" Dorell gazed at the girl with a critical eye.

"I'm feeling hungry we should head back."

"Trying to change the topic eh? You shouldn't be reading such books my child, you'll become a pervert who only yearns for intimacy."

"I only read it for the characters and the story. There's a great deal of drama in ninjas of love that interest me" she defended.

"Ninjas of love hmm….Never heard of it. I just might buy a copy" he chuckled.

"…..."

Blake left in a hurry wanting to leave behind her father and teacher. There were times he will act like a pervert, and this is one of those times. But she smiled remembering his words she will do just that, she will stay by Oliver's side. It was time to explore this new feeling and figure out what it is and when the times comes, she just might take that risk. The chance to find out if the feeling is real, she hope it was real. Oliver was someone she considered a good friend and she has come to understand so much about him throughout the months. Now if she could stop thinking about doing in it with the archer vigilante.

(Scene change)

(Location: abandoned warehouse downtown Vale)

Leonard Snart stood watching on his scroll or more precise, the scroll he stole. Everything he was watching were videos of the Flash and the Arrow in action. Many of the videos were of them saving people, looks like nothing has changed and some showed both vigilantes fighting the creatures of Grimm. He was still shocked that the scarlet speedster was in Remnant, he didn't believe in fate but maybe this was such. He grinned to think he will meet his arch nemesis in the same world, with the bonus that he will also fight the Arrow he has heard about when he was in Central city. The vigilante of Starling city who fights with a bow and arrows and was very skilled in combat. His thoughts were interrupted when Mick arrived getting next to him, he was looking bored.

"How long are you planning to watch those videos?"

"Until I'm certain we can take them on. Now it seems you were right, Doctor Fate must have sent them to this world just like he did with us. As you can see both the Flash and the Arrow are young just like us, and the scarlet speedster isn't as fast as he was once that is an advantage we can take in our favors."

"What of the Arrow? We never fought him before."

"I'm well aware of that Mick, I admit the Arrow is a formidable opponent. He may not be a meta-human but he's known for his combat skills and his deadly aim with a bow."

"Doesn't matter we can take him on, let's just find them both. They won't stand a chance."

"And that's why you need me. You want to find them without a plan, without a strategy let's see how will that turn out when you end up in a cell."

Heat just scoffed he only live for the fight and to burn things.

"Luckily for you I already come up with a plan. The Flash and the Arrow make a strong team, but they have a weakness. The people or innocent civilians they will never let anyone get hurt, we'll use that to our advantage."

"Leverage….? I like it. So we go to a very populated place."

"Not just populated but indoors as well. The less space they have to move around the better and I just found the perfect place" Cold grinned gazing at a particular place from his scroll.

"What is it?" Mick gazed at the scroll grinned" that is a perfect place"

"I know, we take over the area and the bystanders, anything to make it harder for them to fight us."

"I'm with you all the way, just say the plan."

"Listen up carefully if we pull this through we won't have to worry about the vigilantes of Vale as they are called now."

(Scene change)

(Location: Vale shopping mall)

"I appreciate calling me to accompany you Yang."

"Sure no problem."

Weiss and Yang were walking the busy grounds of one of Vale's biggest shopping districts. The blond brawler felt like doing some shopping since the start of the second academic semester was around the corner, and she felt like going out. She honestly didn't like staying in her house for too long thankful to have Bumblebee. She wanted to bring Ruby but she was too busy working on some weapon she had no idea what it was since her sister has being very secretive about it. Then she called Blake but apparently there was no reception to wherever the faunus member of the team was. Which lead to calling the Schnee heiress and she was surprised when she immediately got a reply from the girl, not to mention she sounded excited that she has called her. It didn't matter at least she wasn't shopping alone.

Weiss for her part was so thankful and grateful the blond brawler has called her to join her for the shopping spree. She didn't hesitated to open her scroll to received the call from her blond teammate because she hated being locked in her home. The large mansion with the only people to talk to are the servants and they will always agree with anything you say simply because they don't have a choice and take her side. Her room which was like an isolated prison and her family which barely pays her a visit. The loneliness that brings her whenever she goes there it was the reason why she never looks forwards for Christmas or any other day, that was until she started at Beacon. It was hard to keep her smile hidden the only thing that matters to her, she was away from her home and she was spending time with one of her teammates and friends.

"So the others won't be joining us?" asked the white haired heiress.

"Ruby's busy building some secret weapon with Barry helping her, and Blake I had no idea where she is. She's probably in some library reading the entire collection of books and I'm pretty sure Oliver is with her."

"So it's just the two of us?"

"Pretty much."

"I don't mind, I do enjoy shopping."

"I read online that there are some stores with killer discounts, very good for our lien."

"I enjoy discounts on stores too" she smiled.

"So where should we go first?"

"I feel like you should decide."

"Really?" Yang was taken back.

"You were the one who called me, you do the honors."

"Okaaayyyyy…."

"What?"

"At first I wasn't bother, but now I'm getting worried. Are you okay Weiss?"

"Of course I'm okay, why are you asking?"

"It's just you're being too happy, even more than that time you asked us to check the decorations for the Vital Festival it creep me out honestly."

"I can't be happy?!" the heiress got annoyed.

"How can I say this without upsetting you? You're not the kind of person who will get so happy over anything."

"If I feel like I want to be happy than I will be happy!"

"Okay okay calm down, but this is a whole new side of you Weiss."

"Hmph…." she frowned" why are you smiling?"

"Nothing I just realized why you're in a happy mood. You were lonely and you wanted to be with us badly, it was no wonder why you quickly picked up my call. I can also tell you're not that thrill because Ruby and Blake aren't here."

Weiss was about to say something but stood quiet, then she opened her mouth again" how do you do that?"

"Do what?"

"Able to tell what was wrong with me just like that."

"So I was right" the blond grinned.

"Answer me now."

"You're like an open book Weiss that's why you're so easy to read. I guess being someone from a wealthy family leads to a very lonely childhood right?"

"I guess…." the heiress gave a soft nod.

"But you're not alone anymore, you have me Ruby, Blake, team JNPR, Barry and Oliver."

"You're very observant Yang."

"Thanks, I guess now I just know where to go first."

"Ahem I'll be the one deciding where to go first."

"I thought you said I should do the honors."

"But who do you think is buying?" the Schnee heiress took her credit card with her name, signature and company logo.

"You are!" smiled the blond feeling great that she won't have to spend any lien with the shopping, the benefits of having a friend from a wealthy family.

"But don't get used to it, I suppose just this once I should do something for the team."

"No arguments from me" the blond gave a smile.

(Scene change)

(Location: near the coast island of Patch)

Barry has changed into his Flash suit and Ruby has changed into her training outfit. After the rosette has worked on her secret weapon for hours she decided to take a break and focus more on her training with the scarlet speedster. Now that she knew who was behind the mask she felt so much better and she can more of herself, because it was Barry. They left her house and went to the shore side of the small island to try out the next step of the training program, which included running on water. If anything, the petite leader was looking to run on water because she never thought she'll be able to do it. At least not with her normal speed but now that she has gotten faster, she might stood a chance. Needless to say the RWBY leader was very hyped to begin with the exercise.

For Barry he was happy to resume the training with Ruby he admitted she has progressed. He decided to leave this part of the training until the petite has gotten real fast, running on water was the same as running on a wall or the side of a building. But today he decided he shouldn't just focus on the scythe wielder but on himself too. Now that he has unlocked his semblance he needed to learn to control it and he had a feeling the teen girl next to him will be able to help. She did helped him control his excess aura accumulation so he trusted her that much. A smiled was formed on his lips Ruby might be the one to help him understands his semblance more, what better to rely than her? He saw the teen leader jumping up and down looking as hype as ever, she was very eager to begin.

"Barry let's start already!" she covered her mouth like she did wrong" sorry, I should call you Flash right?"

"Yes you should, only when I'm wearing the suit. Okay, let's start with stretching your body and a test run. I have to make sure you're ready for this exercise."

"But I am more than ready for this!"

"Then prove it, do the stretching and the test run."

The young Rose gave a nod and did the stretching exercises, it was only for a two minutes before she ran with her semblance a whole lap to the beach. Barry was impressed she did it faster than he thought, looks like she might do this after all.

"Okay Ruby listen up, this part of the training is very important. It will prove if you're fast enough to run on water. If you succeed, we'll move in to the next step which is running on walls or buildings."

"Oh I can't wait!" the petite looked very eager.

"But you have to pass this exercise, okay?"

"When will you teach me to do the echoi voice?"

"That's more advance, once you completed running on water and walls we can move on to that part."

"Cool!"

"All right, you're going to run as fast as you can on the water. You will turn the other way in the form of a semi-circle and return here, are you ready?"

"I was born ready!"

The speedster opened his scroll changing his time to a chronometer wanting to see her time" on your mark...get set….go!"

Ruby dashed with her semblance leaving a trail of rose petals. Barry smiled seeing that she has done it, the teen was running on the water. To think she has come this far in a couple of months and it was all thanks to him. Looks like he passed as a good teacher, the petite leader turned forming the semi-circle and returned to the shore cheering.

"I did it! I did it! Did you saw me Ba-I mean Flash…."

"I did and good job I knew you could do it. You're really improving."

The RWBY leader just smiled scratching the back of her head, and eventually blushing from the compliment" all because I have a great teacher."

"Don't flatter me yet, not until we're done with the training. Why don't we move on with something different? Like using your semblance on your arms."

"Sure!" she happily started moving her arms in circle motion she was unleashing a small cyclone with lots of rose petals coming out but she ended up tripping hitting the sand face first.

"You okay?" he went to her helping the teen.

"I'm okay" her whole face was covered in sand making the speedster chuckled.

"Here clean yourself. Looks like you still have a lot to learn with using your arms" he offered her a small piece of cloth.

"Flash? Why don't we leave my training for now?" Ruby cleaned her face from the sand.

"Why?" Barry didn't know why she wanted to stop since they barely started.

"Because I want to see more of your semblance. You just unlocked it and I thought I should repay you for everything you've done for me. Maybe I can help you control it better."

"I guess I should focus on controlling my semblance for now and...hey, you're not doing this on purpose to skip your training?" he was smirking.

"N-no of course not! I really want to help you with controlling your semblance."

"All right I'm going to start using my semblance" the speedster's hands were filled with red lightning" this is weird…."

"What is?" Ruby got closer to the speedster.

"This lightning...that day I was losing control, the lightning was yellow and now this one's different I don't know what this means."

"Maybe you have two types of lightning."

"Two types of lightning that can't...okay I won't doubt you Ruby because you might be right. This whole semblance thing is new to me."

"When I first developed my semblance I was so scared. I was running and before I realized it I was running faster, I ended up tripping."

"Like you did just now?" Barry grinned.

"Hey don't tease I'm trying to help you" the rosette gave her cute pout.

"Okay so what should I do now?" his hands were still filled with the red lightning.

"Try using it, like unleashing it as an attack."

"I don't know, somehow this lightning feels different from the yellow one."

"How different?"

"It's like this lightning isn't the same from the yellow lightning. When it was surging through my body it felt dangerous, like it could be harmful. But this one...it doesn't feel that way I don't know how to explain it."

"Hmm...maybe that's just it. The yellow lightning is harmful which is the one design for attacking and the red lightning isn't harmful."

"That does make sense but if the yellow lightning is for meant to attack, then what does the red lightning does?"

"It could be use for defense like a shield. But anyway we won't know unless we try it."

"What are you talking about?" Barry had a bad feeling.

"Let me touch it."

"What?! No Ruby you are not touching the red lightning, it could be dangerous. You might get hurt or worst."

"You said it feels different from the yellow lightning, maybe it doesn't harm you but it does the opposite."

"Well you shouldn't take my word for it."

"I think I should. I trust you."

"Don't do it Ruby."

But the scythe wielder ignored his warning and both of her hands touched he's. She felt the red lightning coming to her body making her silver eyes widened. It felt like a powerful jolt hitting her but what surprised her the most, it wasn't hurting her. She was right after all, this lightning wasn't harmful but soon she found out the truth. Her entire body felt different for instance, she felt her aura level increasing reaching new heights she thought she would never get. That wasn't all she felt her physical strength increasing too, she had no idea how strong she was now. She let go of him with a shocked expression and Barry was worried sick thinking the lightning has hurt her, if he only knew. The speedster was shaking the teen girl trying to get a reaction, the RWBY leader stood shocked in her place.

"Ruby...Ruby! Are you all right?"

"I'm more than all right" she was smiling overjoyed" I feel so strong you won't believe it. My strength and my aura feel so strong, I wonder how fast I can go now."

"Wait I don't think you should-"

Ruby dashed off to the sea shocking Barry beyond belief. She went so fast she managed to do a sonic boom breaking the sound barrier. She went so far he could have sworn she reached Vale and then turned back but eventually she tripped falling on the water. The speedster knew he had to save her she looked like an out of control torpedo. He jumped catching the petite leader on time as she reached the shore. Ruby was too shocked to realized that Barry was carrying her bridal style for the second time. He settled her down on the ground and she still had the same expression on her face, he even waved his hand in front of her.

"Ruby you okay?"

"That...was...super mega COOL! Did you see me?! I was so fast!"

"I'm glad you're okay looks like the red lightning didn't harm you after all."

"It's the opposite Barry. Okay, let's sum it up. The yellow lightning does harm and the red lightning doesn't, but instead it increases your strength, your aura and your semblance."

"That makes sense, so you're saying my semblance divides into two lightning. One is meant to attack and the other one charges someone's aura….?"

"Yeah you're like a human battery charger and…." Ruby paused feeling her strength and aura returning to normal" and it's gone, I'm not charged up anymore."

"Looks like the charge is only temporary."

"That doesn't matter you have a pretty cool semblance. You should try practicing the yellow lightning now."

"I think I will, but you have to resume with your training. We're not stopping, just because we're focusing on my semblance."

"Okay I will continue working on my arms and you continue with your yellow lightning training."

"Ruby?"

"Yeah?" she smiled.

"Thanks for everything" his smile was enough to make her blush.

"I'm always happy to help you Barry. You've helped me more" she fidgeted.

(Location: dojo Belladonna household forest somewhere in the Vacuo kingdom)

Oliver and Blake have teamed up to take on Dorell in a sparring match. They were still dressed in their ninja outfits, minus the mask. Their katana's clashed with the ninjutsu master and he managed to blocked both of their attacks. Oliver for his part managed to find out Dorell was the real deal, he was skilled and gifted in combat. It felt like he was fighting Adam all over again and even with the teamwork of the raven haired faunus it wasn't enough. The older man was truly a force to be reckoned with he never doubted that he trained Blake when she was little. Their eyes met and they were able to read their thoughts they charged the older man on the front making him blocked. Oliver grinned giving the girl a lift and she jumped catching her teacher from behind. Dorell has chuckled crossing blades with both opponents.

"As expected from fighting both of you, at ease you two."

Both smiled at each other as they lowered their swords. Milena arrived with a tray and glasses with green tea. She offered the tea to everyone as they got seated enjoying the drink. Blake took a sip noticing Oliver was next to her and as usual she will enjoy his company. Milena was next to her husband and the cat faunus over heard her whispering to Dorell something about her and the teen male next to her. She already got an idea what she was telling him, trying not to blush she chose to ignore it. Her father and teacher has already told her what she needed to do so she will take his advice. As the took another sip from the tea while thinking about what has happened recently, twice he was able to see at such large distance. It wasn't normal and he knew it had to do with his aura so he thought telling the people present was the right thing to do, especially Blake.

"There's something I have to say" he started catching everyone's attention.

"Ever since Christmas Eve I have experienced something I can't explain, I know it has to do with my aura. My eyes have being acting up and as a result I've being seeing something from out of the ordinary…."

"Something out of the ordinary? Please elaborate Oliver" said Dorell.

"I can see things from far away. On Christmas Eve I was able to see the entire terrain, this house inside and out and almost the entire forest. I was able to see every detail from big to small."

"Hm...you said it has to do with your aura" replied the older man.

"I think I know what it is" Blake spoke.

"I hope it's nothing serious" said the archer.

"Not at all, it must be your semblance. You might have unlocked it on Christmas Eve."

"My semblance…."

"I believe Blake is correct. Your semblance must be the ability to enhance your vision to great lengths and the ability to see through solid objects" said the ninja master.

"Enhance vision, and to see through solid objects? Are you talking about three hundred sixty degree vision and x-ray vision?"

"That is correct and I must say it is a very useful ability. To see your opponents from far away before they even see you and to see them where they are hiding. No doubt you'll have the upper hand in combat."

"Is that how you were able to see me?" asked the raven haired girl.

"Yeah I was able to see you hiding behind the branch from that far."

"I think your semblance suits you well. Because you specialize in archery it is very useful" said the faunus.

"One's semblance is the reflection of one's soul, it should be expected to suit him" followed Dorell.

"Would you like more tea Oliver?" asked Milena.

"Yes it is good tea" smiled the archer as the woman was pouring him more of the hot beverage.

"Pay attention Blake. I want you to learn how to make a good tea. You will have to when you have to serve Oliver once you married him" she hide her smirk.

"Mother" blushed the cat faunus while the archer spit his tea.

"Well I have to refill the pot if you excuse me" Milena got up leaving the dojo.

"Its good tea" Oliver tried to ignore her comment but his cheeks were red.

"Can you tell her to stop making those comments?" whispered Blake to her adoptive father.

"You know your mother, anything I tell her will fall on deaf ears."

The archer vigilante took another sip from his tea when he heard his scroll beeping. He checked and saw he had one new message and he wasn't surprised that it was from Ozpin, he opened the device to read it.

-Ozpin-

I know its late but I do hope you have had a great Christmas. On another note I don't mind you took two hundred thousand lien from my funds for the donation of the Vacuo orphanage, it was Christmas after all. Just make sure you don't do it again.

Now to business I recommend you check the news network I do believe you know some of the people.

Oliver did as told and check online entering the news network site. In the recent news section he entered the channel hearing the broadcast for everyone present.

*This is Lisa Lavender reporting for Vale News. I am here live from Atlas penitentiary security prison, as you can see the entire front gate has been destroyed to rubble. This was caused by a well armed air ship, which it was identified as an advance model from the Atlas military. From the ship emerged six people three of them went inside the prison and unfortunately we couldn't get a clear view of the identity of the three infiltrators. however we were able to identified the other people who stayed behind and chose to take on the penitentiary personnel.*

The archer's eyes widened when he saw the picture of one of the prison attackers.

*The first is Hei Xion male thirty three year old who supposedly is the owner of a night club in downtown Vale. The other attackers were identified as Melanie and Militiades Malachite both female and twin sisters, both are sixteen years old and apparently they had the position of bodyguards for Hei Xiong who also work in his night club.*

"This can't be happening, why in the world would they do such a thing…."

*Unfortunately the bad news doesn't end there. It has been confirmed that the three infiltrators of the prison managed to break out notorious criminal Roman Torchwick. Said criminal who had various charges of theft, kidnapping and murder was brought down to justice by the vigilantes of Vale the Arrow and the Flash six months ago. Now he has escaped and he's wandering the streets of the four kingdoms as I speak. As for the attackers they were captured and arrested. Hei Xiong is currently serving five years under the charges of breaking an entering into the security prison and attacking guard personnel. As for the Malachite twins they are being held at the juvenile detention center in Vale under the same charges, they're sentence remains unknown.*

"Torchwick is out damn it" he mentally cursed.

*Now standing next to me is the man in charge of the Atlas military and also the headmaster of Mantle academy General James Ironwood. Tell us General how can you explain the fact that one of the ships of your army is responsible for the prison break?*

* It is obvious that someone has stole that ship model because of its advance weaponry. I assure you that no one from my military is responsible or was piloting that ship.*

*Is it possible that there could be corrupted soldiers among your men? Maybe one of them chose to sold out his loyalty by selling the ship.*

*I have no comments for that Miss Lavender but I can assure you we will find out who was responsible for stealing that model.*

Oliver closed his scroll not wanting to hear another word. He wasn't happy in the least Atlas prison was attacked, people got hurt, Torchwick escaped and the people responsible were considered his friends. It felt he's and Barry's efforts to capture the criminal were all for nothing. With this the Queen has another associate working for her along with the White Fang. He turned to Blake and Dorell, the faunus wasn't happy she was in thought the same with the older man.

"You all heard it?"

"Torchwick escaped, was it the White Fang?" said the raven haired girl.

"No there weren't any members. But I do know some of them."

"Most disturbing news, I have heard of Roman Torchwick. Nothing good about him I'm afraid" said Dorell.

Milena arrived with fresh tea as the archer vigilante got up.

"Where are you going Oliver?"

"I'm sorry I can't stay, I have to go."

"Shall I go with you?" asked Blake.

"It's okay I got this."

(Scene change)

(Location: highway downtown Vale)

The rogues sports car drove through the busy highway. Snart was driving with so much anticipation for the upcoming confrontation with his nemesis the scarlet speedster, the Flash. His trusty cold gun was next to him while on the passenger seat stood Mick, also looking very anxious. He was looking forward to fight the speedster and burn something and that wasn't all both have also being looking forward to fight the Arrow. Two vigilantes against two criminals those odds were acceptable and with their plan, there was no way they could lose. Cold took an exit on the highway heading for the streets of downtown and made a stop. He got off the car with Mick following him, they were staring at their destination where the plan was going to take place. To Snart it was personal to have another showdown with the fast vigilante.

"You remember the plan?"

"I do, I actually memorized it."

"That's good. But let me explain it again just in case, it never hurts to repeat myself. As soon as we're in you will gather as many people as you can and put them all in one place. While you do that I will handle the security and shut all exits to keep anyone from leaving and keeping all of us in and after that all we have to do is wait. We don't have to worry about out targets, they will eventually find a way to get in. Are there any questions?"

"Yes, I will fight the Flash."

"No you will fight the Arrow. I will fight the Flash."

"Why does it have to be you?"

"Because I'm smarter than you. Trust me I have a couple of strategies that will work against him. You on the other hand have no strategy whatsoever, except for charging in and attack until he can't move no more."

"And what's wrong with that?" Mick stood confused.

"I prove my point. Look you're going to have a lot of fun fighting the Arrow, he's strong. Can't say you'll be able to beat him."

"Watch me."

"If we have this out of the way, then we can finally begin" Snart grinned watching in the distance the place where they were heading.

"Vale mall is in for a cold and rude awakening."

(Scene change)

(Location: Vale Shopping Mall)

Weiss and Yang have decided to get some food after they were done shopping. They were seated in one of the many tables of the mall's food court. The Schnee heiress was eating a chicken salad while the blond brawler was having a double burger with bacon and extra cheese. The heiress took a few bite before gazing at her blond teammate looking like she was in deep thought. Ever since she arrived to the mall she has being wanting to talk to her, there was something troubling her. She was happy that she bought some clothes for her and for the blond because it's being a while since she has gone shopping and because it was for her teammates and friends. But now she needed to speak her mind about something important, it brought her attention since Christmas Eve. The white haired girl paused on her eating while Yang was still munching on her burger.

"Thanks for buying all this stuff Weiss."

"Don't talk with your mouth full" she scolded.

"Yep you never change. Mmm...oh wow Ruby has no idea what she's missing. This double burger bacon with extra cheese is so good. Maybe I should buy one for her."

"I'm glad that your enjoying the food."

"You bet I am" she took another bite.

"….."

"Say Yang….?"

"What?"

She frowned at the blond, still talking with her mouth full but chose not to say anything" is it all right if I ask you a personal question?"

"Sure, shoot."

The heiress took a breath" how do you describe your relationship with Ruby?"

"What?" Yang put down the burger giving all her attention on the Schnee girl" what do you mean?"

"Look I...I know you and Ruby aren't related by blood because its so obvious, neither of you look the same. But at the same time the way you behave around her and how you treat her and how she reacts back, you two act like you were true blood related sisters."

"Ruby might have green hair and rainbow colored eyes and she will still be my sister. Nothing will ever change that it doesn't matter squat if we aren't related by blood, she will always be my little sister."

"I figure you would say that" the heiress gave a nod with a smile.

"Okay, so why are you asking me?"

"Honestly I...I envy your relationship with her. I see you two and I think that's how true siblings should behave, it is a perfect example how brothers or sister's should be."

"Why?" Yang was now gazing at the white haired girl with concern" what's wrong Weiss?"

"I have an older sister."

"You do?"

"Yes, we're blood related but she's…maybe it will make sense if I start from the beginning. I told you that my family have being victims to the White Fang for years, friends and associates of my father's company have being captured before…."

Yang noticed the heiress's hands were trembling slightly.

"When I was eight they went too far. My mother was captured and she…she didn't made it."

"You don't have to continue if you don't want to."

"No it is necessary that I bring this. After her death my sister insisted that both her and myself should take combat classes. She convinced father that we should get training immediately, we needed to prepare ourselves for the worst just in case we fall victim to the White Fang. I didn't minded the training but she...she took it too far. She trained day in and day out without stopping. She wanted to get strong to make sure me or her ends don't end up like mother. Her personality changed she was more serious and her only focus was the family's safety. She was the one who always kept a close eye on the faunus workers of the company, she didn't trusted a single one."

"After what happened to your mom its understandable to feel that way towards the faunus" Yang's lilac eyes softened hearing the death of her mother reminded her of the death of Ruby's mom.

"Before mother's death she was livelier and happier, this horrible experience changed her for the worst. I can't have a normal conversation with her without bringing the White Fang or the company's future. She keeps saying that the only thing I should care about is family and father's company nothing else. But I refuse to believe that there's more than just family and the future of multi millionaire lien company. That's why I wish I could go back to have a regular relationship with her" she gave a sad smile.

"Watching you and Ruby reminded me of how we used to be. I don't know what to say to her or how I should act, my sister stopped acting like herself a long time ago."

"I have a pretty good feeling that going to Beacon didn't suited her well."

"No it didn't she was upset and father was furious. Both of them were against my decision to join the academy, neither wants me to become a huntress. Because being one is a life risking job, all the dangers we'll be facing including slaying Grimm. Since they were angry at me they have taken upon themselves to ignore me, and today they still do. That's why I wasn't looking forward to Christmas break, I don't like returning to my home because it only reminds me how my family feels."

Yang nodded it was no wonder why Weiss was lonely, why she desperately needed friends. Her own family shuns her because of a choice she made, she wanted to be a huntress while they wanted her to look after their safety and her father's company. It was hard to think of the best solution to help her, of course she wanted to help her. The ice cold heiress has actually opened up to her and it meant a lot to her she has. Her father and her sister were being selfish and too over protective of her, the last part she was familiar a bit. She was overprotective of her sister Ruby and she always wants what's best for her but she knew she couldn't control her life. There will come a time when she matures and she will make her own decisions and there's nothing she can do about it, but only to accept them. The blond brawler finished eating her burger while the Schnee heiress hasn't touch her chicken salad yet.

"I don't know what to say Weiss, you've being through a lot. No one deserves what you're experiencing, have you thought talking to them?"

"That's easier said than done. I once tried talking to father of my choice to go to Beacon the only thing I got was one of his temper tantrums, for over an hour. My sister's different but she wouldn't listen. Now tell me, how do you convince them that I don't need protection and that I don't want to be part of the company?"

"I understand what your dad and your sister feel a little. You may or may not believe it but they care for you and after what happened to your mom, its no wonder why they're being over protective of you. Ruby's mom passed away a long time ago doing a mission and ever since then I've being more over protective of her."

"Yes but your case its different you know Ruby can take care of herself. You care for her but you're not always shielding her from harm like an overprotective obsess parent" the heiress saw the blond giving a sad smile.

"There are times I wish I was. Remember the initiation test? When Ruby was about to be kill by that Deathstalker I felt so angry with myself, because I was so helpless to do a damn thing to protect her. Here I am with my strength and my little sister is about to die by a Grimm at the first day in Beacon. If it weren't for you to charge in and save her Ruby would be dead, that's why I will always be grateful to you Weiss. I know I can't always protect her because we are huntresses in training and she's a team leader, she will always be in danger, all of us will. But that doesn't stop me from trying to be there for her whenever she needs me."

"So that brings me to my advice for you. You have to sit with your dad and your sister and talk to them, tell them how you feel. It doesn't matter if they get angry with you they have to understand your point whether they like it or not. They're as stubborn as a mule but you have to get it to their head that you're not some defenseless little girl. You chose to become a huntress and go to Beacon, your choice if they can't respect it and accept it, then they don't have the right to be your family. If they really love you they will settle with your decision through good or bad."

Weiss stood shocked for a moment. A smile was formed on her lips happy to hear her words. The answer was so simple and so obvious and she knew what to do. It wasn't going to be easy talking to both of them and lay down her foot. She will have to be patient and take her time one of these days she will face them. But for now, she wanted to continue attending Beacon with her teammates and how grateful she is to have such great friends for teammates. No matter what her father and sister thinks, going to Beacon was the best decision she made in her entire life. Because of it she wasn't lonely anymore, with friends she truly felt complete. Feeling pleased with the way this conversation took she resumed eating her salad.

"Thank you Yang for your words of wisdom, I appreciate it."

"Now who's talking with her mouth full?" the blond grinned.

She frowned resuming her eating" can we keep this conversation from the rest of the team?"

"Are you sure that's okay? Look what happened to Blake for keeping secrets from us."

"I know. I was the one who told her to always rely on us if something's troubling her and keeping secrets within the team isn't a wise choice. But for now I want to keep this secret for a little while. I promise I will tell Ruby and Blake about it."

"Well make sure you keep your promise. Because if you don't, I will sure tell them."

"Thanks again Yang."

"I believe that's what friends are for" the blond brawler smiled.

As Weiss went to pick what remains of her salad they heard screams. The cries of the people from all over the mall could be heard. Both girls looked at each other alarmed and they got up from the table.

"What's going on?" asked the blond.

"Nothing good from all those screams."

"We should check it out."

"Right" the Schnee heiress gazed at Myrtenaster sheathed on her waist.

(Scene change)

The people were all panicking as they were being dragged by Heat Wave. The pyromaniac threw a father with his son and daughter following him, all were beyond scared. Probably some of them escape the mall before Snart could freeze the exits but he didn't care as long as they have plenty of hostages. He has gathered them all in the center of the shopping district. Mick was grinning anxious for their prey to arrive this plan was going to work because Snart thought of it. Every plan that has being planned by Cold has always being successful and effective, so he won't argue with this one. He saw a woman running away but he captured her in time, throwing the innocent civilian in the group of hostages. A security guard pointed his weapon at him but he was frozen on the spot.

"All security taken care of, and all exits sealed" Cold walked next to his partner.

"This is all I managed to gather."

"Good work, this will do" the rogue leader grinned at the lot of people" time to begin the next phase of the plan."

He opened his scroll sending a live broadcast to all communication devices all over city" attention kingdom of Vale my partner and I have a message exclusively for your vigilantes, the Flash and the Arrow. You may not know who we are but they sure do know. We have taken over the mall along with over fifty people in it. If you care for their lives you will not hesitate to come to Vale mall and face us. And just to let you know we mean business, we're setting a time limit. One hour, if they don't show up by then well...I can't imagine what will happen to all these people. So Flash, Arrow their lives rest in your hands."

Cold closed the scroll gazing at Heat" the message has being sent and the bait has being released, now we wait. But knowing Flash he'll be here in seconds so keep your eyes open Mick."

"These people are starting to get on my nerves" the pyromaniac glared at the hostages who were panicking in fear.

"Excuse me! Can I get your attention for a moment?" Snart noticed they were still panicking.

"Everyone SHUT UP!" Heat fired his gun in the air releasing a wave of fire and it was enough to make the hostages stay quiet.

"Thank you" he gazed to his partner and went back to the people" now I know you're all afraid and you feel like panicking but I assure you everything will be all right. We're not interested in any of you we're only holding you hostage until the Flash and the Arrow arrives. Once they're here I promise, we will let you go."

"You will let them go now!"

"Who said that?"

"I did!"

Cold and Heat turned to the source of the voice to see two teenage girls standing in their way. Snart lifted his goggles and his coat his eyes were on the girl who was glaring daggers at him. She had long white hair tied on a pony tail, aqua eyes, a scar on her right eye which suited her appearance well. A light blue dress with a bolero jacket with light blue long boots below her knees and she was holding a sword which looked like a rapier with a barrel above the handle. Cold admitted this girl was very attractive and that the fact she was glaring at him with so much anger made him like her more. She was truly a beauty who looked like she wasn't kidding when she demanded to let the hostages go. All he did was smiled in amusement and she glared at him even more for his action.

Mick was staring at the girl next to the white haired one. She had long blond hair with lilac eyes wearing an outfit considered to be sexy with a nice chest. She was wearing a pair of what it looks to be gauntlets colored yellow. Unlike the white haired girl, she was grinning at him. It was more like she was looking forward to fight him, her weapon made him realized she was a close range fighter who likes to use her fists. That made him grinned, after burning things he likes to have a good brawl. Using your fists is better than using a weapon, he was looking forward to fight her instead of the Arrow. He lifted his goggles meeting the blond babe in the eyes he will be lying if he says she wasn't attractive, but she was gorgeous. In fact he would say she's hot especially when he had the body of a twenty year old.

"And you are….?" Cold was still looking at the white haired girl.

"I'm not telling my name to a low life criminal like you. It won't matter anyway, because we're getting those hostages out of here."

"And we're taking you guys down!" the blond brawler banged her fists.

The rogues looked at each other before they laughed and the girls felt offended by their action. Weiss was glaring again at the teen who looked to be the leader, talking like he was all high and mighty. He was the one who sent the message calling out the vigilantes, he was the one assuring the hostages nothing bad will happen to them. Just hearing his words it was enough for the heiress to dislike him, to detest his attitude. Looks like she was able to meet someone who anger her more than Ruby when she first met her at Beacon. Of course now the rosette was her friend and partner and she no longer holds anger for her. But this guy was earning to feel her wrath as the heiress of the Schnee family. Yang by contrast was trying to mock the leader's partner by signaling him to come at her with everything he has.

"What is so funny?!" Weiss kept her glare.

"You want to save these hostages, and take us down?" Snart was chuckling" how about you take your friend and go, I will open one of the exits for you two."

"You think we're not worth your time?!"

"On the contrary I think you are. But unfortunately you and your blondy friend are not the opponents we are waiting for."

"Beat it kid, we only want the Flash and the Arrow" Mick said.

"You worthless" she gritted her teeth.

"Weiss that's enough" Yang whispered" let's prove them wrong."

The heiress calmed down a little pointing at the rogue leader" you and me right now."

"Hey Snart, how about we kill some time before they get here. What do you say blondy?"

"Yeah bring it!" Yang clenched her fists with Ember Celica ready.

"I don't like it but its our only option, we can't let them join forces with these two" Cold put his goggles and his coat" Mick don't underestimate them."

"You should be worried about your opponent. She's giving you an endless glare."

The rogue leader chuckled ignoring the white haired girl's glare he got closer to his partner" they looked like they're stronger together, split up and don't hold back."

"And the hostages?"

"Leave them, they can't escape with all the exits frozen solid."

Both left splitting up. Mick went to escalator getting to the second floor while Snart stood on the first floor taking a right corner.

"Cowards!"

"We have to go after them" followed the blond brawler.

"Everyone please stay calm I already contacted the police, they should be here any minute" said the heiress to the panicked crowd of people.

"That guy said the exits were frozen, looks like no one can get out of here."

"We'll have to hope the police finds a way to break through them."

"I'll go after the one who went to the second floor" said Yang.

"That leaves me with the one in charge, which I'm looking forward to" Weiss narrowed her eyes thinking of the rogue leader.

Both huntresses split up taking the same path the rogues took.

Yang run through the escalator following one of the criminals. The young man who seemed to be twenty is the one taking orders from the other criminal. Sure she wanted to stop him for the sake of the hostages but she was more interested in fighting him. Looking into his eyes she saw something in him, someone who loves fighting. Maybe he was like her, a thrill seeker with a lust for battle pretty obvious she wasn't going to turn away from this chance. But she still knew he has to be stop because he was a criminal, she only hope the Flash and the Arrow because she wanted to take this guy on her own. As the blond brawler reached the second floor she dodged an incoming wave of fire, she felt relief. She also felt the extreme heat coming from that blast, her lilac eyes were on the criminal wearing his goggles and holding his weapon.

"Talk about cutting it close."

"Not bad you're quicker than I thought."

"That gun you have packs a punch don't want to get caught in those flames."

"I know it's my pride and joy. I can't help it I love fire, and burning things I love it even more."

"I guess you're a real hot head."

Mick reacted chuckling" I get it, funny."

"Really? You think my pun was funny?" the blond gave a smile finally meeting someone who can appreciate her puns.

"It's a classic, a hot head. Can't help it if I am" Heat Wave started moving his weapon impatiently" so blondy are we fighting or what?"

"My name's not blondy, it's Yang Xiao Long. What's yours?"

"Mick Rory you can call me Heat Wave."

"Heat Wave cool name. Okay let's do this" she readied her gauntlets.

"Think fast-" he was about to fire his gun when the blond girl fired from her gauntlets.

"Shit! You can shoot from those things" he dodged the incoming fire shocked.

"Oops guess I forgot to tell you" she grinned.

He fired his heat gun Yang dodged and countered with firing her shot gun shells. Mick cursed mentally there was no way he'll be able to take her on with long range combat. He will have to go with close range, this was one girl he wasn't going to burn so easily. For once he will have to resolute with using his brain, which it was something he always let Snart do. Turning to his left he saw a weapons shop it made him grinned, he felt lucky. Dodging more fire from the busty blond he ran to the shop. She followed him not looking happy hoping to have a good fight from him, instead of him running away from her. As she arrived to the shop her lilac eyes were everywhere and was ignoring the large collection of weapons. She knew if Ruby was here she'll be going crazy from so many weapons.

"Hey are we fighting or playing hide and seek?"

"No we're not" Mick stood he chose to sheath his heat gun for now" we're fighting all right, the good old fashion way."

"My kind of fight" she grinned putting her fist in a fighting stance.

Both charged launching a fist Heat blocked it and countered hitting the blond square in her jaw sending her flying. To his surprise she got up massaging her chin.

"Ow, that hurts…."

"Sure it does" he grinned showing her his knuckles had something new" brass knuckles, a fighter's best friend."

"Not bad, my turn" she charged at him and her attacks were faster.

Mick was able to blocked some of her attacks but he was caught in a barrage of her fists. Now he found out that getting hit by her yellow gauntlets hurt a lot. He was sent to the ground while the blond was standing looking in triumph she admitted, she was having fun. This guy was putting up a good fight so far and she didn't wanted him to stop, it was still too soon to end this match. The young man was standing looking hurt it made Yang worried, sure she got hit but she was fine thanks to her aura. Her lilac eyes widened his lips were bleeding, did she hit him too hard? She didn't think so her punches were strong but not to an extent.

"You okay?"

"Peachy" Heat removed the blood from his lips.

"Why don't you let your aura heal your injury?"

"Aura? Ugh don't need it. I can take you on just fine."

"What do you mean you don't need it? Everyone needs aura to heal their wounds and protect themselves from attacks."

"I'm fine the way I am, now come on!"

"The way you are…." her lilac eyes narrowed seeing the criminal reaching for his heat gun from behind him" don't try to cheat, you said to fight the old fashion way."

"I'm a criminal I lie" he pointed the heat gun at the blond" you shouldn't believe everything I say."

"Fine play dirty" she glared firing her gauntlets dust shot gun shells.

The flame wave hit part of the weapons in the store but there was no sign of his opponent. He knew she wasn't going to go down that easily he turned around and there she was as she launched a straight punch, which he blocked with his hand equipped with the brass knuckles.

"It doesn't mean I'm not going to stop using my fists."

"That's fine by me Mick" Yang was grinning she was starting to like his way of thinking.

"Ready for round two?"

"I'm always ready!"

(Scene change)

Weiss tracked down the leader of the criminal duo to a furniture store. She wasn't surprised he will choose such place, first it was big enough to have a fight and second some of the furniture was good to hide like a closet or below the beds. The Schnee heiress was keeping an eye on the criminal presence gazing at every part of the store. Her aqua eyes narrowed seeing some of the clothing belonging to the criminal leader, she charged but didn't notice the floor was frozen solid making her tripped hitting face first and slipping ending up hitting a night stand. She looked up to see the criminal gazing down at her with his coat and goggles on. He was giving that cocky grin she has come to hate, it irritate her putting her in a bad mood. And she was already in a bad mood when she first saw him.

"I believe we haven't being properly introduce yet. I'm Leonard Snart or you may call me Cold or Captain Cold, I don't mind which you refer to me."

"I will remain with calling you low life scum" she glared getting up pointing Myrtenaster at him.

"Don't like small talk…." he grinned again.

Weiss glared again attacking the nineteen year old with her quick attacks. Snart did everything he could dodging her attacks it was just as he thought. She knew how to use that rapier her appearance said that she comes from a wealthy family, also meaning she got lessons to fight with that sword. The way she fought said clearly that she was well experienced. Now Snart was no fool to charge in without preparing himself. He read all about aura, semblance and dust and he didn't possess any of the three, so he was aware he was in a disadvantage against this girl. Leaving him with the only option to plan a good strategy that will favor him, but the question is how do you turn the odds of a fight when you're opponent is someone who is skilled, can use dust, has aura and has a semblance? Cold was going to find out.

"Impressive, I knew you looked strong. I admit I'm way over my head here."

"It won't take me long to beat you!" she charged with her dust rapier, shocked that the criminal was using his gun to blocked her attack.

"You're being too cocky, didn't anyone tell you to never underestimate your opponent?"

"You're nothing but a criminal, what skills can you provide?"

Big mistake she has made but Cold just grinned blocking her again with his gun. He countered hitting her head with his weapon, she felt on the ground. He was going to make her regret saying those words, he may not have an aura or semblance but he was dangerous enough the way he is. The rogue leader kicked her rapier away, using one of his legs to crush her right arm. His action earned another glare from the white haired girl in his opinion she was an arrogant bran who needed to learn a lesson. But he hasn't discarded the thought that she was beautiful, she was probably the most attractive girl he has ever laid eyes on. Maybe she will keep him entertain until the Flash arrives at the scene.

"What skills I can provide you asked? First, I have this cold gun it fires a powerful ray that can freeze anything, I can also control its temperature reaching absolute zero. And second" Snart pointed to his head.

"I have the intellect to take down a smart ass arrogant little bitch like you."

"What….? What did you just called me?!" Weiss was enraged.

"And you're deaf too, do I have to write it for you? Maybe you're blind as well."

"Argh!"

Her enraged scream was the last draw. This scum has insulted her in way no one has ever done. She cast so many glyphs all around. The action has surprised Cold not having a clue what they were. The Schnee heiress rolled away grabbing Myrtenaster changing the dust barrel to a red light and the color of the rapier changed to said color. The angered heiress released a fire wave from her rapier and Snart followed firing his cold gun. Fire and ice collided releasing a wave of vapor and Cold was grinning like he was expecting that to happened. The result from the vapor made the sprinkles go out confusing it for smoke from a fire. Weiss was shocked as she got soaked from the rain, yet her opponent wasn't.

"As I said, I have the intellect to defeat you. There is a reason why I chose to drag you here."

"What do you mean?"

Without a word he fired his gun again hitting the rain causing dozens of ice needles to fall at the heiress. Weiss screamed as her left arm got stabbed by the needles. She cast another glyph as a shield to protect herself, she dodged jumping to one of the glyphs she cast and jumped from one glyph to another increasing her speed. Unleashing her wrath on the man who insulted her she stabbed his right shoulder, he countered hitting her with his weapon. His eyes widened, this time his attack failed Weiss performed another glyph blocking the attack. Cold fired his weapon at the rain, wanting to have the advantage over her. He was wrong as the white haired girl performed another glyph which it was different to Snart. It was a clock its needles spinning rapidly. The Schnee heiress has increased her speed and travel to all of her glyphs quick attacking the rogue leader.

"Heh looks like angering her made her stronger. Just a minor a set back I can still use her anger to my advantage."

"What are you waiting for?!" shouted the angered heiress deactivating all of her glyphs" hurry up and use your aura to heal those wounds, I want to humiliate you for insulting me."

"Aura...right? Sorry to disappoint you but that option isn't available for me."

"What are you talking about? I am not kidding hurry up and heal yourself…."

"I won't repeat myself" Cold performed a three hundred sixty degree tun while firing his weapon at the rain, causing to shoot ice needles in all directions.

Again Weiss used a glyph to block the ice projectiles, she realized he was gone. Probably to escape to a safe place so he can heal himself. However she stood in thought remembering what he said not wanting to think it over she changed the dust barrel from Myrtenaster to blue color chasing after the rogue leader.

"With those wounds he couldn't possible gotten too far."

(Scene change)

What was once the weapon was nothing more but a mess of rubble. It was the result of the fighting between Yang and Heat Wave. They were exchanging blows back and forth and neither looked like they were tired. At least in Mick's situation he was probably having too much fun to realize his level of exhaustion. He has forgotten how long he has being fighting with the blond brawler, and he didn't care. He truly felt alive this fight felt like he was burning dozens of houses. The rush of adrenaline and the thrill of this battle was making his blood boil in a good way. It was the same thing for Yang she was enjoying herself too much this is what she needed, a great fight to satisfy her thirst for thrill seeking. Both launched another punch that made them jumped back from the shock wave.

"This is the best!" shouted the overjoyed Yang.

"I'm just warming up" Mick was grinning.

"That's right let's not stop. I want to fight you when you're at your best."

They resumed their fight exchanging blows, while blocking and countering. Heat decided to reserve his gun for later he was having too much fun that he has forgotten about Snart's plan. He was relying more on his brass knuckles than the heat gun. When Yang got tired of throwing punches she will use her kicks and though she wasn't wearing leg armor they were still strong to cause damage to any opponent. Mick did the same thing he will use all of his strength on his kicks never thinking of underestimating the blond beauty. Dodging the last kick followed by a punch Heat did the first thing that came to his head, he grabbed the brawler by her neck and performed a choke slam. Yang hit the ground looking shocked, boy she wasn't expecting that but as she got up she grinned at the young man.

"A choke slam? Nice that's from wrestling. I can do wrestling" her grinned only made Mick grinned too.

Heat gasped when the blond grabbed him whole body like he weight nothing and throw him hard on the floor" that's a jack knife power bomb courtesy of Big Daddy."

Yang jumped to a pile of rubble ready to jump on the downed man" flying elbow, courtesy of the Boy Toy."

"Ufff" he felt the strong elbow on his poor little stomach.

"Here comes the leg drop courtesy of Captain Hulk."

"You're killing me blondy…."

"And here's my favorite tombstone pile driver courtesy of the Coffin Master."

"Shit..."

"I know all those moves because I used to watch wrestling when I was little.

"That's it" Mick growled only to get punched square in the face.

"You let your guard down again" Yang was still grinning.

"That's it! No more Mr. nice guy!" he took his heat gun wanting to burn the blond to a crisp.

"Again Mick? It's getting old."

"I'm ending this fight now. I admit I had a lot of fun, but you're hurting me a lot. I won't be able to take another hit."

"And I say use your aura to heal your wounds."

"I can't use aura, I don't have it."

"That's impossible, all things with a soul have an aura. You probably haven't had it unlock."

"It doesn't matter it's time to finish this" Heat Wave put on his goggles readying his gun and put it on the maximum temperature level.

"All right, guess play time's over" Yang readied Ember Celica.

Mick didn't hesitated firing the heat gun at full power. The large flames engulfing the entire weapon shop, all rubble burned to ashes. The blond brawler took a step back firing her dust rounds, she resumed firing but it didn't fire. Her lilac eyes widened realizing she has ran out of dust rounds. She had more but they were the new high capacity rounds Barry gave her for Christmas. Another grin was formed on her lips reaching for her small back pack and reloaded her gauntlets. The heat from the flames was getting worse she couldn't take it anymore while the pyromaniac was laughing in amusement. Both stood staring at each other as if they were facing in one final showdown. He pointed the heat gun at her while she was ready to fire her secret weapons.

"One last attack, there's only way to settle this. We'll find out if my heat gun is stronger than the fire from your gauntlets."

"You'll be surprised. I loaded them with a special ammo I got from a friend."

"Still I truly enjoy fighting you Yang. Too bad I have to cut this short."

"Same for me, I really want to get the hostages out of here, not that I didn't had a blast fighting you Mick you hot head"

Heat Wave chuckled fired his gun just as the blond girl and the blast created such a powerful fire explosion that sent the rogue to the ground. Yang only received smoke and some of the flames hit her, but she was safe. She was impressed by the fire power of the high capacity dust rounds looks like they did the job. Yet she was hoping the criminal was still alive, she will feel bad if she goes far and ends up killing him. To her relief Mick slowly got up his whole body was covered in small burns but not life threatening. It was still a wonder that he hasn't use his aura because he hasn't had it unlock, he was truly lucky he hasn't die.

"Mick I'm glad you're…."

Heat Wave was able to see small strands of blond hair that belongs to Yang. They were on fire he has done it, he has burn some of her hair. The blond brawler has changed her attitude completely as her lilac eyes have turned red and her hair starting glowing, she was shaking from the rage.

"What the heck is wrong with you?"

"You...you….YOU MONSTER!"

"What the f-shit!" he gasped.

Mick's eyes widened at what he was staring. The blond girl he has found as a worthy opponent looked like she was on fire. To him she looked like she has taken the form of a powerful fire goddess that has come to burn his soul into the fiery depths of hell. It sounded horrible but the pyromaniac and rogue member wasn't feeling any fear, in fact he has never felt so happy in his entire life. He was in awed watching this beautiful girl take the form of such fiery deity and he smiled, a smile that reflects joy and admiration. For all he care she could burn him alive and let him feel her heat, her fire not caring if his body gets permanently damage. He once felt the fire burning his skin once, he was ready to feel everything. In the moment of his demise he smiled and the only word that escape from his mouth.

"Beautiful…."

The last thing he saw was the fire goddess Yang launching a powered fist straight at him, before everything turned black.

(Scene change)

Snart cringed feeling the alcohol hitting his wounds. He was lucky to find a liquor cabinet near the furniture section he needed to heal his wounds first before resuming the fight against the white haired girl. He admitted he was enjoying the fight, even better than fighting the Flash. The temperamental girl has done quick work of him and he wasn't ashamed or angry, if anything he was amused realizing she was truly formidable. At least this experience has helped him figured out some interesting facts about her semblance those circles she can make can shield her from attacks and she can use them to move around and hang on like an artificial wall. The one with the clock can obviously make her move faster she was already fast using her rapier, with the clock she was a force to be reckon with.

"She must be near my location by now. I wonder if she's still angry, better insult her again just in case."

And true to the rogue leader's words the girl arrived walking towards him. Her aqua eyes were on him, mainly his injuries. Now Weiss was certain he hasn't had his aura unlock, at the fact he was using alcohol to disinfect his wounds. Looking at him all helpless she didn't felt angry anymore, whether he was a criminal or not he was still a human being. It was right to feel mercy for him remembering what he called her, she gritted her teeth at his insults. The Schnee heiress took a couple of steps forwards, until she was a few feet from the criminal leader. Then he raised the whiskey bottle he was using on his wounds as he was offering some to her, it only made her glared at him in return. Once Cold saw her glare he decided to take a small sip from the alcoholic beverage.

"You sure you don't want a sip? It's a nice brand."

"I don't drink alcohol."

"Suit yourself more for me" he took another sip.

"Just surrender. With those wounds and without aura to heal them you might die. The police should be here by now with paramedics, why don't you let me take you to them?"

"You're showing me mercy? That's not like you."

"I'm a huntress in training, my main enemy are the Grimm. Fighting criminals like you comes part of the job description, but I won't take your life."

"You're underestimating me again. I thought someone like you will know better."

"I can still fight no problem and you're wounded, with no aura, no semblance. I have always got the advantage over you."

"Arrogant till the end. Let me assure you, before this fight ends I will know your name."

Weiss was shocked when he has lifted his free hand holding his weapon and fired his gun at her right hand holding Myrtenaster. The heiress screamed feeling the pain of her arm getting frozen. The rogue leader left as her eyes were on his retreating form, they were reflecting so much anger in them. She hated herself for being naive thinking he will give up so easily, now she knew that she will have to stop him. She will have to hurt him badly until he loses conscious. The angry heiress realized that the ice from her arm wasn't harming her that much, her aura was already in the healing process. But the ice melting, that will take some time, time she didn't had. Looks like she was handicap now just like the criminal, it was going to be hard to fight with one arm, especially when she couldn't use her weapon. The heiress followed him to an area where there were so many mirrors.

"He's only trying to buy time for his wounds to heal, he knows he's being beaten."

"If you won't go in quietly I will take you in by force!"

"I don't mind a girl who is forceful with me. Pushy girls were never my type."

"Oh please" she frowned thinking he was delirious to bring such topic at a moment like this" why won't you give up while you still can?"

"You're in no position to make demands. I doubt you can use your weapon with your arm frozen."

"I can still beat you with or without my right arm."

"That remains to be seen" his voice sounded not too far.

"Just stop hiding already!" Weiss has lost her patience with the criminal.

"Oh I'm not hiding…."

The Schnee heiress gasped as the rogue leader attacked her using his gold gun. He followed with a punch as she countered with a glyph but he was gone. She could only see so many reflections from him through all the mirrors.

"It's called tactical advantage. I lured you here on purpose. I knew I was at a disadvantage against you from the moment I saw you. So what better way to face you by deceiving you with all these mirrors, can you tell which one is the real me."

"For a low life scum, he really is clever" of course she wouldn't admit it, her pride will forbid her from doing so.

It will also forbid her from admitting that Leonard Snart was attractive, the last thought made her sick to her stomach. But he was handsome her feminine side will agree.

Cold took the opportunity to strike again at the girl's face sending her to the ground. He grinned how the tables have turned, he had the advantage over her. She couldn't fight in her true strength in her current conditions. All he needed to do is keep pushing her buttons, her found her weaknesses and he exploited them. She was proud and arrogant he found a way to turn those traits to his favor as an advantage in battle. Even if she can still call those magic circles she won't be able to defend and fight one hundred percent. But then again he was in the same shape, with his injuries he couldn't fight at his fullest. Then something caught his attention as his white haired opponent has summoned more of her circles at all directions, she has done this before. Now he needed to thinks things through, knowing it will be a mistake to attack her now.

"I dare you to attack me now! You're right I can't fight you in my current status, you're plan works. If you believe you can take me down then go ahead...make your move."

Cold went for an attack from behind launching another punch, but the girl has blocked it. He was shocked, its like she knew he was going for such attack. The rest followed with the heiress holding his fist then moving from one glyph to another sending him hard to the ground. Her right foot was crushing his stomach having him in a submission hold. The rogue leader was grinning never seeing that coming. The glyphs vanished as she kept her aqua eyes on her opponent, though he put up a good fight without having any aura.

"It's over, I doubt you'll be able to move now" she noticed he was still grinning, she hated that grin of he's" why are you still grinning?"

"Not bad white really suits you."

Weiss realized what he was talking about. He was below her and clearly he had a perfect view of what was below her skirt. He kept his grin while her entire face has turned red from the sheer embarrassment, all this time she was given him a free peep show.

"You...YOU DISGUSTING PERVERT!"

"Not my fault you're wearing a skirt."

"It's a combat skirt!"

"A skirt is a skirt" Snart got off from her pointing his cold gun at her.

"Stop, don't make a move. It's over you scum, just give up it's over."

"Maybe it's over maybe it isn't. I still have one card left to play" he reached for a switch on his weapon.

"I just adjusted the temperature from my cold gun, to its highest level. Meaning the next time I fire, if you get hit you'll be frozen solid and your chances of survival at absolute zero are very slim. No person has ever survive at the lowest of temperature."

"I suppose killing me is part of your job, go ahead shoot."

"Not quite I only hurt people I don't kill them. I'm a thief, not a murderer."

"Never believe someone like you will have some sort of code of honor" the heiress wasn't amused, she was glaring at him.

"Honor among thieves" Snart chuckled.

Weiss already knew what to do if she manages to attack quickly before he reacts then she will win this fight. She attacked with a straight punch making the rogue leader fired the gun but missed. The Schnee heiress performed a back flip while casting a glyph that turned black, she was planning to launch herself at him like a sling shot. It was similar to when Ruby threw herself at the Nevermore back at the initiation test. She released the glyph charging straight at him but Snart has fired the weapon right at her. Her eyes widened she wasn't going to make it, this was it she will lose and she will most likely die. Her thoughts were on her team and the rest of her friends in Beacon. She was suddenly grabbed by a red blur dodging the ice blast.

"Well you sure took your time to get here...Flash" Snart grinned seeing the scarlet speedster.

"At first, I didn't believe it. I read your message five times and I still couldn't believe it. You're here Snart, you and Heat Wave" the speedster spoke in his echo voice.

"Yes we're here and I have gotten fond of Remnant. I thought it will be nice to take over and make a name for ourselves."

"That's not happening, the only place you're going is jail."

"Only one way to find out" he pointed his cold gun straight at him.

"Stop he's mine!" Weiss interjected gazing at the speedster" I started this fight, and I will finish it."

"Haven't you had enough yet?" grinned Cold.

"I was about to ask you the same question."

"Can you fight?" Flash was worried seeing the girl's condition with her right arms frozen.

"I had better days. But he's the same especially when his aura hasn't being unlock" she walked towards the criminal.

"I guess it's time to end this."

"You're wrong, it's already over."

Cold didn't know what she was talking about firing his gun again. His eyes widened when the blast was moving so slow. It wasn't just the blast from his cold gun but all of his movements were slow too. He saw the white haired girl gazing at the ground and he found out why he was moving so slow. Right underneath him stood a time glyph, its needles were moving very slow. The sight made him chuckled as she dodged the ice blast easily. Flash was really impressed never realizing Weiss making a glyph below Snart without him noticing. The rogue leader chuckled putting his gun down, there was no need to continue fighting he knew when he has lost. Expecting to be beaten by the speedster vigilante it was this girl who fought him bravely pushing herself to her limit.

"Clever...you're right, it's over."

"You lost, now are you giving up or do you want more?"

"Why not?" he dropped the cold gun raising his arms as a surrender sign" you know, I may be cold but you...you're colder."

"Hmph...I admit you're smart and for someone relying without aura, you're strong"

"Don't compliment me, it doesn't suit you" he grinned.

"It wasn't a compliment it was a statement."

"Fair enough…."

Weiss was frowning releasing the time glyph" now come quietly and don't get any ideas or so help me…."

"I get it already, I won't try anything I lost fair and square. It's a real shame you punch like a girl."

That seemed to hit a nerve on the Schnee heiress as she punched Snart as hard as she could sending him to the ground.

"That's more like it" he grinned.

"I suppose I should tell you my name, you seem to have earn it. It's Weiss Schnee."

"Weiss….it's perfect" the rogue leader smiled before losing conscious.

Then the heiress felt a great pain from her left fist" OW! How does Yang do it?!"

Flash shook his head with a smile reaching for his scroll" Snart's being taken care off without my help, what about you Arrow?"

*Yang didn't needed my help either, when I got to her location she has punched the lights out of her opponent. Because strands of her hair got burned.

"Yeah that sounds like her" he chuckled.

(Time skip)

The Vale police force was able to break through the ice from the mall entrance thanks to the vigilantes. The hostages were free and safe, those that suffered small injuries were treated right away by the paramedics. Others have treated the wound from the two criminals and the two huntresses who were brave enough to take them on. Once Snart and Mick were awake and their wounds treated the police arrested them ready to take them to prison. As they passed by the two girls their eyes met. Mick met Yang's lilac orbs, Snart met Weiss's aqua ones though they've being beaten neither of the rogues regretted their actions. By now the heiress right arm was no longer frozen and has healed. They rogues have had a good time fighting the huntresses and if they ever get another chance, they wouldn't hesitate to take it. At least they went down with a good fight.

"Wait"

The officers holding the criminals stopped as they turned to the two girls walking to them.

"Hey Mick" Yang smiled.

"Great fight" smiled the pyromaniac.

"It was a great fight, best one I've ever had. But you shouldn't have tried to burn my hair, never mess with the hair."

"I know that now."

"When you get out of jail you better save me another fight."

"You bet I'm looking forward to our second match."

"Yeah and maybe we can do other things" the blond brawler was grinning mischievously.

"Other things? Like what?"

"That's my little secret" she kept her grin.

"I don't get it."

"Mick she's hitting on you" replied Snart.

"Oh yeah she hit me plenty of times."

"Sometimes your stupidity amazes me."

"And speaking of stupidity" Weiss faced the rogue leader" you said you were smarter than me, that you have the intellect to defeat me. You were wrong."

"No need to gloat colder, I know I lost to you and I'm not ashamed to admit it."

"And you were also wrong about being smarter. With your intellect there are so many good things you can do. Help people, or try to make it easier for them to live their lives better daily."

"Not my style, I'm not a hero or a vigilante."

"But instead you chose to use your intellect to do bad things, for stealing and hurting people. I can't never forgive that. I hope you learn your lesson while you're in jail."

"Doubt it" he grinned gazing at the Schnee heiress" sorry about looking on your skirt."

The heiress blushed hard while Yang was grinning.

"Really Weiss? What else were you two doing besides fighting?"

"Shut up!"

Cold kept grinning enjoying the look of embarrassment in her face.

"Listen we have to take them already" said one of the police officers.

"Go ahead" replied Weiss still blushing.

They took the criminals to one of the cars.

"Bye Mick!" the blond brawler happily waved.

"Why are you being so nice to him?"

"What? He put up a good fight. Didn't Snart put up a good fight too?"

"N-yes he did but I'm not happy about it" she frowned gazing at the police car that was holding them.

"Snart?" Mick was gazing from the windshield, his eyes were on Yang" I think I'm in love."

"I hear you partner" Cold was gazing at the Schnee heiress who was glaring at him.

As the car drove off the vigilantes stood in the distance. Flash was still shocked that the rogues were here. There were so many questions the speedster was asking himself, mainly how they got to Remnant. The Arrow has only heard about them so he wasn't that familiar with Snart and Mick. But having them in this world only meant more trouble for the vigilantes. The good news they were stopped and put behind bars and it was done by the people they were less expecting. Weiss and Yang have done a pretty good job fighting the rogues, it was one less thing to worry about. The hooded archer stood in deep thought after hearing the message from Cold he made an investigation linking the rogues to a series of events in the past months. He found matches to some crimes for the past five months, meaning the rogues have being in Remnant for a long time.

"I still can't believe they're here" said the speedster.

"It makes sense. The fire at Vale's Public library was linked to them, along with billions of lien stolen from the four crime families, and the prison break that lead Torchwick out of Atlas penitentiary they helped the Queen. The evidence is clear, Leonard Snart and Mick Rory have being in Remnant for months."

"They've being here that long and we never noticed. I should have known, I should have done something, now because of them Torchwick's free" Flash growled losing his patience.

"Barry it's not your fault we couldn't know this was going to happen. We've being busy for the past months. Work in Beacon, the missions, the White Fang, the Grimm and now our semblance. It was impossible for us to expect people from our world coming here."

"But how did they got here?"

"I only have one guess" said the archer.

"Doctor Fate?"

"Who else has the power to bring back people and transport them to other dimensions?"

"But why would he bring Cold and Heat to Remnant?"

"Your guess is as good as mine. There's so much we don't know about Doctor Fate. We don't know if his intentions are good or bad, or which side is he on. But the fact he brought villains from our world here, gives us a clue that he can't be trusted."

"I'm worried about this Oliver. If he brought the rogues to Remnant, who else has he brought here? What if he brings Slade or some big time villain….?"

"Don't even say it" the hooded archer gave a sigh not wanting to imagine if Slade Wilson formerly known as Deathstroke was in Remnant too" for now let's just focus on our mission. We can question Snart and Rory later."

"Right we're paying your former boss a visit."

"I need to know why Junior did this, there must be a reason why he will aid the Queen assisting with Torchwick's escape."

(Scene change)

(Location: Atlas Penitentiary kingdom of Atlas)

The were so many times Junior has made a mistake in his entire life. During his youth he used to smoke and drink a lot, getting into fights, getting arrested and even expelled from school. He never even considered becoming a huntsman, he only wanted an easy life. He got a small part time job earning some lien which he chose to add it to his saving. When he got older he met his wife and fell in love with her at first sight, he married her and had a happy life. She gave a birth to Mei Lin but things started turning for the worst as she started drinking so much that she walked off from him leaving him to take care of their daughter on his own. After that he managed to buy his own club. His biggest mistake while being a club owner was meeting Roman Torchwick.

After the Arrow's warning he stopped making any business negotiations with the notorious criminal. The vigilante was kind enough to give him a second chance and he was grateful for it. He didn't wanted to go to jail for his daughter's sake because he loves her too much. After his wife left him he promised himself to always look after Mei Lin no matter what. He glared when the Queen appeared before him obligating him to be part of the operation to help Torchwick escape from prison, using his daughter as leverage. It didn't surprised him the Queen used him and his bodyguards until their objective was complete. Tears were falling as he stood in his cell, he had no idea if his daughter was still alive. The horrible truth that he will be here for five years without knowing if Mei Lin was all right or if it was too late.

The former club owner never realized being taken away from the cell by a red blur. The next thing he noticed he was outside of the prison, far away into the city. He blinked once, then twice until he was certain this was real and not some crazy dream. Before he could ask how did he left the prison he saw the Arrow before him, behind him stood the Flash. Junior knew what this was all about, he helped in Torchwick's escape and now the vigilantes were pissed at him. They will probably beat the crap out of him and he didn't care, at least he will go out with some dignity left. His only regret he wish he could his daughter's face one last time, or some proof that she was safe and sound. Was there even point to be alive now? He has asked that question for so long since he got arrested.

"Go ahead, lecture me, insult me, beat me up I don't care! I did what I had to do."

"Why did you do it?" the Arrow said in his deep voice.

"It's all that bitch's fault" tears were falling on the older man.

"Queen...what did she do to you?"

"It's not me its...Mei Lin my daughter, her people captured her and held her hostage. She obligated me to help her bust out Torchwick or she was going to order them to kill her. I had no choice."

"Where is she?" asked Flash in his echo voice.

"I don't know! You think if I would I wouldn't be this desperate. Please, I beg of you find her, I can't rest not knowing if she's safe please."

The scarlet speedster gazed at his partner as the hooded archer gave a nod.

"All right Junior, we will do everything we can to save your daughter. But I don't know if there's anything that can be done about your sentence."

"I don't care what happens to me, I only want Mei Lin safe."

"We'll find her. We promise" said the speedster.

"Thank you…." he tried drying his tears.

"Flash send him back to his cell before the guards realize he's gone."

"Got it" he took Junior and left in a blur and returned in seconds.

"So any ideas where she can be?"

"No, but I'm counting on you to search the entire city. I'll try to get any leads on her location. I'll contact you as soon as I have it."

(Time skip)

(Location: unknown region)

Cinder stood at one of their base of operations. She was more relaxed now that everything was running smoothly they can resume with their plans. Having Torchwick back was beneficial to her plans he was useful, it was the only reason why she will bother to rescue him from prison. In the hangar area was a large bull head ship ready for take off members of the White Fang were boarding it. They were going to another dust gathering operation. She spotted Roman heading for the ship with Emerald and Mercury following him shortly. The face of the criminal signaled that he wasn't happy while the teen was chuckling and the dark skin girl was grinning. Looks like Mercury was saying one of his comments annoying the orange haired man.

"Come on don't get angry, we just want to know if you drop the soap while you were in prison."

"And I say shut it" glared the criminal.

"Looks like he might have dropped it" said Emerald amused.

"Never thought I will feel sorry for you."

Torchwick tried to calm himself while turning to the amber eyed woman" must they come too?"

"Yes, the amount of dust needed to be gather is quite large. Emerald and Mercury will be very useful for this operation."

"What's the matter? Losing faith in the animals of the White Fang. You were the one who said they can be trusted."

"And I do but I'm giving you a direct order Roman, I don't tolerate disobedience. Or perhaps you will like to have a quick visit to Atlas penitentiary?"

"No arguments from me, the kids can come along for the ride. Great just my luck, I have to babysit" he muttered the last part.

"You don't want to drop the soap again" Mercury grinned while Emerald chuckled.

"Smart ass brat" Torchwick knew he wasn't going to hear the last of this.

Cinder opened her scroll deciding to check on the news as a broadcast got her attention as the headline title was" Vale Mall under hostage take over."

*This is Lisa Lavender reporting for Vale News Network. Today tragedy struck at Vale Mall as hundreds of people were captured and held hostage by members of the notorious group none as the rogues. Leonard Snart also known as Captain Cold and his partner Mick Rory also known as Heat Wave held the hostages demanding for the Arrow and the Flash with the following message.*

*Attention kingdom of Vale my partner and I have a message exclusively for your vigilantes, the Flash and the Arrow. You may not know who we are but they sure do know. We have taken over the mall along with over fifty people in it. If you care for their lives you will not hesitate to come to Vale mall and face us. And just to let you know we mean business, we're setting a time limit. One hour, if they don't show up by then well...I can't imagine what will happen to all these people. So Flash, Arrow their lives rest in your hands.*

*Expecting the vigilantes will come to the hostages rescue it was truly a surprise that both members of the rogues were stopped by two brave huntresses in training from Beacon Academy. Weiss Schnee and Yang Xiao Long were present at the mall at the time of the incident together they managed to put a stop to probably one of the most dangerous groups in the four Kingdoms since the rogues have charges of theft said they have stolen billions of lien belonging to the four crime families, along with breaking an entering and attacking guard personnel, confirmed information that they were involved in the prison break that lead to Roman Torchwick's escape. Leonard Snart and Mick Rory were arrested and taken to Vale maximum security facility, their sentence will be carry out shortly during the coming days.*

"What a shame. Snart you made a reckless move, you should have heed my warning" said Cinder.

"Who cares, they served their purpose right?" said Mercury.

"Perhaps but maybe they might still be useful."

"Are we going to get them out of prison too?" asked Emerald.

"No, that will be time consuming. What takes priority now is resuming the operation."

*In recent news the search for Mei Lin Xion was put to an end tonight. Thanks to the Arrow and the Flash the seven year old was found in an abandoned apartment district, captured by a group of criminals. Luckily the little girl was retrieved with no injuries and was taken to her caretaker since her father Hei Xion is currently serving a five year sentence at Atlas penitentiary.*

"Good thing we gave her that drug that makes anyone forget everything. And paying those criminals to keep her captive was a clever plan" said Mercury.

"To be more precise she won't remember anything since the day we arrived. That way she won't remember us" followed Emerald.

"With Junior serving his purpose there's no need to keep the girl under captivity. The Arrow and the Flash must not know about you two. Now Roman time to head out."

"Right let's get this show on the road" Torchwick headed for the bull head ship

Mercury and Emerald left shortly as Cinder's scroll was receiving an incoming call. Seeing the number and the caller id made her smiled, she accepted the call.

*What's the status of your operation?*

"I had a couple of set backs but nothing to get concern with. Everything's going according to plan."

*You're having better luck than me so it seems.*

"And you haven't found what you're looking for?"

*Nothing so far, the ingredients are different in this world. I will have to check the list of every chemical available if I want to make some progress. Carrying out my plan is going to take longer than I imagine.*

"You know you can always count on me if you need anything. After everything you told me about your world, I'm intrigue at such interesting information."

*There will be a time for show and tell me later. What's important that you continue your operation keeping the attention of everyone on you. For now my existence must remain a secret, especially from the Arrow.*

"You're the one who warned me of him, you're not fooling me. Just hearing the tone of your voice I can tell you have a grudge with him."

*It's more than just a grudge my dear. Just make sure not to underestimate him. The same can be said with the Flash.*

"It won't be long now before phase two commences. You're welcome to join me anytime."

*I will have to decline your offer. My plan is my top priority.*

"I can help you with the list of chemicals. It might be beneficial with speeding things up."

*If you feel that way then be my guess. I have to go.*

Cinder ended the call looking forward to the next time he calls.

To be continued

-I know I know what you people are going to be saying. You wanted the Arrow and the Flash to fight the rogues but I wanted something different. What better way to do it with letting Weiss and Yang take the spot light. Also take note that Snart and Mick don't have aura and a semblance (at least not yet) so of course they will be at a disadvantage against both girls.

-The names from the wrestlers Yang said are parodies from for former wrestlers of the WWE. Big Daddy-Kevin Nash (used to be called Diesel), Boy Toy-Shawn Michaels, Captain Hulk-Hulk Hogan and Coffin Master-Undertaker. I just thought it will be cool for Yang to do some wrestling moves.

-From the very beginning of this story I totally intended to pair Snart with Weiss and Mick with Yang so it's official. The pairings Cold Comfort and Blazing Heat has being born. These pairings will have slow development as the story goes.

-I will explain Barry and Oliver's semblance for those that don't understand yet.

Oliver has two abilities with his semblance which they are:

a. three hundred sixty degree vision.

b. x-ray vision to see through solid objects not through people.

-Both of these abilities are similar to the blood line the byakugan from Naruto.

Now onto Barry, like Oliver his semblance is divided into two abilities:

a. yellow lightning- offensive and its power is considered destructive.

b. red lightning- making physical contact with a fellow huntsman or huntress will increase his/her physical strength, aura and semblance by 10% for a short period of time. He can also increase the percentage but it will take more aura from him. The more he increases the more aura he will use weakening him, making this a double edge sword.

-Now since I'm pretty annoyed with people asking me will there be DC villains and heroes in this story I will say it for the second time. The answer is YES I have confirmed information regarding the villains. There will be five villains in the story (which one of them is the one who was talking to Cinder) including the main antagonist or the big villain. As for heroes I have a couple who might make it to the story but I don't know how many I will add.

-On another note I am watching RWBY volume 3 and so far I'm loving it. I didn't like the team JNPR vs BRNZ fight I was hopping Jaune will have more time on the spot light but at least we finally know Nora's semblance lightning I mean it was to be expected because her hammer is the same name as Thor's hammer. I also didn't like SNNN vs. INDO match they made it looked like INDO was stronger than team SNNN and they still lost seriously. Over all I like RWBY's match better and also I like the small Blake humor with the fish plate (Dat expression lol). Also I like Blake blushing at Sun and Weiss getting jealous for Neptune's flirty attitude (acting like a true tsundere). And yeah Qrow finally debuts on ep.2 and he's voice by the same male actor who voiced Edward Elric in Full Metal Alchemist (I forgot his name).

-As always I very much appreciate the favs, follows and reviews thank you very much.

DC SPOILER SECTION

Flash season 2:

-Yay I'm happy to know Wells from earth 2 is a good guy but he doesn't have a choice but to help Zoom since he has his daughter hostage.

-I like Cisco's code name Vibe.

-I think I have become a Jay/Caitlin shipper.

Arrow season 4:

-Oh my gosh I love Constantine he's so cool and funny.

-Very happy to see Sara got her soul back. Can't wait to see when she becomes the White Canary.

-Also yep Ray's alive and he has become small. Like with Sara being alive and Snart being a good guy DC Legends of Tomorrow has spoiled that too.

Next time: First mission 2
