Chapter 2: Beginnings part 2
"Ruby"?
Ruby woke up with a start, springing into action, feeling an almost deafening tingle in the back of her head as she grabbed the hand of the person above her.
"OW! Ruby, what the-"
The figure didn't have time to finish her sentence as she was thrown into a nearby wall.
"Ruby, what are you-"
The tingling in the back of her head returned, causing her to do a side aerial onto the second figure without even sparing a glance. Ruby then used her legs to flip the person on the ground a few feet away, causing a loud thud in the process.
"Ruby, stop it's just-"
Ruby felt a hand on the back of her shoulder. Ruby's hair on the back of her neck stood up as she turned around and grabbed the person by the neck, slamming her onto the ground so hard that it cracked on impact.
Weiss was surprised at the sheer force of the impact, startled by the angry look on her leader's face. "R-ruby, it's me, Weiss" Weiss coughed out, voice straining from being choked.
Ruby's gaze softened when she saw Weiss's face. "W-Weiss". She asked, snapping out of whatever trance she was in.
BLAM!
The door to Team RWBY's dorm opened, revealing a concerned team JNPR. "Guys is everything- WHAT THE HECK"! Jaune exclaimed, not expecting to see Weiss being choked by Ruby.
"Wait, Jaune?" She asked, not expecting to see JNPR at the door.
"Uh, R-ruby?" Weiss choked out, still being choked by Ruby.
Ruby's eyes widened, quickly removing her hand from Weiss's neck. "S-sorry Weiss, I uh didn't know what came over me there…." She apologized, feeling bad for hurting her friend.
"Ughhh, love you too sis". Yang groaned, holding her arm in pain.
Ruby gasped, turning around only to find an injured Yang and Blake.
"OH MAN, I am so sorry!" Ruby cried, helping them both off the ground.
"It's okay Rubes, but…...since when could you throw that hard"?. Yang asked, not expecting her sister to be that strong.
"Yeah, you seem to have really good reflexes". Blake observed, her sides aching in pain.
"Uh, are we missing something"? Jaune asked, his teammates nodding their heads in agreement.
"How did your room become so messy?" Pyrrha asked.
"Apparently, my little sis has been holding out on us". Yang said curiously, slinging her arm around Ruby's neck.
"Hehe, yeah you got me….". Ruby nervously laughed. What was that tingling in my head? Ruby thought, wondering what that weird tingle was.
Jaune didn't lose the confused look on his face, "Uh, what?'' he asked, completely lost about what happened.
Yang rolled her eyes, "What I mean is that my sister went full ninja badass on us, even more so than Blakey here". Yang said teasingly.
Blake scowled, rolling her eyes at her overenthusiastic partner.
"Hehe, yeah but enough about me, don't we have class in like 20 minutes?" Ruby asked, trying to steer the topic away from herself.
...
...
"OH, SHIT SHE'S RIGHT". Yang yelled, not wanting to be late again. "We can talk about my sister later, now shoo!" Yang said, practically pushing the amused JNPR through the door.
Who knew that brute actually cared about class, I suppose you learn something new every day. Weiss thought to herself.
Ruby sighed, happy that the topic of conversation has successfully been changed. Alright, all I have to do is change, and (hopefully) get to class on time. She thought, taking off her shirt so that she could change into her uniform.
However, all hopes of being out of the spotlight were shot down when she saw her team staring at her shirtless form. "What?" Ruby asked, noticing Yang's shocked look along with Blake and Weiss's beet-red face. Are those two okay?" Ruby thought in confusion, wondering what the big deal was.
"Y-you d-dolt put a shirt on!". Weiss said, face red with embarrassment.
Ruby raised a brow. Why is her face so red? She saw me without a shirt on just a few days ago, so what's-.
"RUBY WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU!". Yang practically screamed, wondering what the hell happened to her sister.
Ruby still looked confused, "What are you guys talking about?" She said, tilting her head in confusion.
"J-just look at a mirror…" Blake said quietly, veering her eyes away from Ruby.
"Ok…." Ruby said, entering the bathroom only to have her eyes to nearly bulge out of their sockets when she saw her reflection.
While she was still thin in nature, her physique has changed massively. All traces of baby fat were gone, replaced with a perfectly chiseled six-pack that would make most guys jealous. Her arms, while still small felt heavier, firmer than the metals she used to forge Crescent Rose.
"W-what's happening to me," Ruby muttered out in a mixture of fear and confusion, slipping on some remnants of toothpaste someone (cough Yang cough) forgot to clean up.
The deafening tingle returned, causing her to flip into the air. Ruby closed her eyes, waiting until she would be back on the ground. However, when she noticed she wasn't falling, she slowly opened her eyes, only to reveal that her arms and legs were sticking to the ceiling.
….
….
"AHHHHHH!" Ruby screamed, freaking out over the fact that she was literally STICKING to the ceiling!
"RUBY ARE YOU OK!". She heard Yang cry from outside, concern laced in her voice.
Ruby's expression turned from scared to mortified.
"Y-yeah I'm fine, just in a bit of a sticky situation…..." She said, not wanting her sister to come in and find her like this. Ruby paused, slamming her head on the wall upon registering what she just said. Oh, gods please don't tell me I just made a pun! Ruby thought, hating the idea of punning with her sister. "I just, um ...got toothpaste stuck in my hair. Yeah."
"... Was that a pun?" Yang asked teasingly, delighted at the idea of her sister following in her footsteps.
Ruby groaned, Ughhhh please tell me this is a dream. She thought, trying to pull her hands off the ceiling.
'But seriously, are you ok Rubes? You sound a little freaked out". Yang asked knowingly.
"W-what? Whatever gave you that idea, hehe". Ruby laughed weakly, pulling harder on the ceiling.
Yang shook her head, "Alright Rubes, I didn't want to do this but…. "She trailed off.
Ruby's eyes widened in fear. OH no, nonononono I know that voice! Ruby thought frantically, giving one last tug with all her might.
"HEYAH". Yang cried, punching the door with all her might.
"You….couldn't have used the key?" Blake asked, wondering why she had to make a spectacle out of it.
"Nope". She said, popping the p. "Now…" she said, turning her head in Ruby's direction.
"WAIT I CAN EXPLAIN!". Ruby yelled, attempting to explain herself before Yang would freak out.
Yang raised an eyebrow, "You mean why you're on the floor?" Yang asked, wondering what her sister was so worked up about.
Ruby opened an eye at this, "...What?". Ruby said, noticing that she was back on solid ground. OH, sweet mother of Zwei thank you! She thought to herself, releasing a breath she didn't know she was holding.
Yang gave her a weird look, noticing the residue of sheetrock on Ruby's fingers. "What's that on your hand? She asked accusatory, wondering why her sister's hands were dirty.
Ruby's eyes widened, tucking her hands behind her back in a panic she said, "O-oh, I just uh…..haven't watched my hands yet! Yeah, that's it." Ruby said, rushing over to the sink to wash the residue off her hands.
Yang and Blake weren't buying it, but Weiss just rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Did you teach her any manners?" She asked, turning her gaze towards Yang.
Yang gave a non-committal shrug.
Weiss groaned, "Why am I not surprised…." She muttered silently to herself, shaking her head in exasperation.
Ruby inwardly took a sigh of relief, quickly putting on her uniform before she could get herself into any more awkward situations. Ok, let's try to get to class before I screw anything else up. "C'mon guys, we can't be late two days in a row, now can we?" Ruby asked rhetorically, speeding off before they could give a response.
As soon as she left, WBY had various levels of confusion plastered on their face wondering why Ruby of all people seemed to be in a rush to get to class.
"Is…. she okay?" Weiss asked, wondering about her leader's strange new behavior.
"I ...think so?" Yang tried to say reassuringly, however it ended up sounding more like a question than an answer.
Blake just shook her head, "We should get moving"
Yang began to smirk, "Yeah you're right, besides maybe after her fight with our resident Ice Queen she finally 'Rose' to the occasion, eh eh?" Yang punned, elbowing Blake with her arm.
Weiss and Blake both groaned, however, Blake couldn't help but let out a small chuckle.
It was small, but enough.
Yang gasped, "OH MY GODS YOU LAUGHED!" She said, pointing an accusatory finger at Blake.
Blake's smile instantly turned into a frown, "No I didn't.'' Blake said, trying to sound as devoid of emotion as possible.
Yang nonetheless, wasn't taking no for an answer, "Nu uh uh, don't try to deny it, Blakey, you LOVE my puns". Yang stated cheekily, wagging her finger in front of Blake.
Blake rolled her eyes and proceeded in an attempt to catch up with Ruby, only to realize they weren't too far behind….
"C'MON WORK!". Ruby shouted in irritation, pumping her arms to no avail.
The others soon joined her, eyebrows raised at their leader's little 'scene'.
"Uhhhhhhh Rubes…...what are you doing?" Yang asked, wondering why her sister was randomly flailing her arms around.
Ruby flinched at the sound of her sister's voice, slowly turning around to meet her gaze. "O-oh hey guys, sorry about that my semblance is just acting a bit wonky today". She explained, trying to reassure her team with a fake smile.
Blake raised an eyebrow, "Your semblance?" She asked in confusion, never hearing about people being unable to use their semblance while they have full auras.
Yang was about to say something but was drowned out by Weiss. "YOU ABSOLUTE DOLT, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR SEMBLANCE! YOU WERE ABLE TO USE IT JUST FINE YESTERDAY!" Weiss screamed in anger, wondering how Ruby could find new ways to drive her to insanity.
Ruby winced at her tone, "I…...don't know, it was working when I first left the room, but then it just…...stopped." Ruby trailed off, not knowing what to make of it.
Yang eyed her worriedly, remembering how sick her sister was the night before "Are you sure you're ok Rubes? That isn't normal. '' Yang asked Weiss and Blake, nodding in agreement.
Ruby, not wanting to worry her friends, waved her hand dismissively. "Guys really I'm fine, it's probably just from me being sick yesterday". Ruby explained, hoping they would buy her excuse.
WBY eyed her critically for a moment, trying to tell if she was lying or not. After a short pause, Yang spoke for the group. "Well if you're sure…."
Ruby cut her off, "Yep, c'mon guys, we only have 10 minutes till class starts!". Ruby exclaimed, taking off the direction of Peach's classroom. What is going on with me today? Ruby thought, pushing it to the back of her mind as she made her way to the classroom.
A few minutes later….
Ruby and her friends took their respective seats, Peach briefly smiling in Ruby's direction as she noticed Ruby's upbeat attitude before turning to face the rest of the class. "Hello class, today we will be continuing from where we left off yesterday". She explained, referring to when the class tried to combine both ice and lightning dust.
Ruby froze, remembering the mini-explosion she caused the day before. However, Ruby must have not been the only person scared by yesterday's 'events' as Peach added, "Don't worry, in spite of yesterday's…. 'accident', I will be giving you a detailed demonstration to make sure nothing of the sort happens again.
The class took a collective sigh of relief, turning their attention towards the demonstration.
After Professor Peach put on her safety goggles, she took out two beakers- with each one being filled up with both ice and lightning dust respectively. Then with practiced ease, she poured small amounts of both types into one of many smaller beakers, turning on the hot blue flame. The flame caused the beaker to bubble, changing its color to that of blood red. She then used the tongs to carefully pick it up, placing it in water so it would cool down before finally holding it up to the class.
"And that is how you combine dust without causing the smoke alarms to go off". Peach chuckled, always enjoying any excuse she gets to play around with the dust.
Wow…. Weiss thought, happy to know there was someone at Beacon who actually knew how to handle dust.
Ruby, though was taking this time to think about what had happened earlier in the morning. Ok, so to recap: I can stick to walls, I have a weird thing in my head that happens whenever I'm in some kind of danger, and I'm arguably more ripped than my sister. So, the only question is…...HOW! She finished, freaking out the more she thought about it.
Don't tell me I'm secretly a Faunas or something. I mean, it's not like I'm a racist or anything but last time I checked I was human! Like, I know dad never told me much about mom, but I think he would tell me whether or not I'm a Faunas! She thought, ruling out that possibility.
Ruby leaned back into her chair, trying to think of what could have caused these 'changes'. Ugh, this reminds me of when Yang and dad didn't give me the talk and I had to try to figure things out on my own…. Ruby recalled, a cold shiver running down her spine when she remembered how she accidentally ended up on that 'adult' site, suffice to say that she was scarred for life.
Ruby shook her head, attempting to steer herself back to the topic of hand. C'mon Ruby think, what happened yesterday? I had my first day of school, got into a fight Weiss and Cardin, blew up the lab and… Ruby trailed off, feeling like she was forgetting something.
"Ruby? Dolt? Are you even paying attention?" Weiss asked irritably, snapping her fingers to get her leader's attention.
This brought Ruby out of her train of thought, she shook her head. "S-sorry Weiss, I'm still feeling a bit off from yesterday". She half lied, obviously leaving out the part of what happened earlier in the morning.
To her surprise, Weiss didn't berate her or call her a dolt. Instead, she took a deep breath and looked Ruby in the eye. "Ruby…are you sure you're ok?" When I came in last night you looked ill." Weiss asked knowingly, remembering how uncomfortable Ruby seemed to be last night.
Ruby blinked in surprise, not expecting Weiss to ask her about that. The surprise quickly wore off, causing Ruby to briefly shake her head before she answered. "Uh y-yeah totally, why wouldn't I be?" Ruby lied, her voice cracking from the obvious lie.
Weiss sighed, "What even happened yesterday? You seemed fine for most of the day, were you food poisoned or something? Weiss asked, concern laced into her voice.
Ruby gave her a confused look, "What do you mean, I told you guys right? She asked, confused why Weiss asked what seemed to be an obvious question.
Weiss shook her head, "No, you left before we could ask you anything about it remember?
Ruby merely tapped her chin before answering, "Huh I guess you're right. Well, it wasn't anything major, I just got bit by a… Ruby trailed off, eyes widening in realization. "...spider". She gasped, putting the pieces together.
"Dolt, are you okay?" Weiss asked, moving a hand between her eyes.
Oh, my gods oh my gods OH MY GODS! She thought, thinking back to her strange new abilities. The wall-crawling, the strength, it all makes sense, THAT SPIDER GAVE ME SUPERPOWERS! She fangirled, her inner nerd jumping for joy. This has to be the best day ever! She thought, her silver eyes sparkling with childlike joy at the thought of having superpowers.
Weiss, however, was not so enthused. After continuously trying to get Ruby's attention for over a minute she finally lost her cool. Weiss pulled on Ruby's arm, making sure Ruby could hear her loud and clear "Ruby Rose if you don't answer me soon then I swear I'll-."
Ruby's eyes widened in surprise, snapping herself back into reality she said, "S-sorry Weiss again… I-I just got lost in my thoughts hehe." Ruby chuckled nervously, noticing the stares from the other students.
Weiss's right eye twitched, but instead of combusting, she remembered what Ozpin told her and took a deep breath. "It's fine, just please focus on the assignment." Weiss told her calmly.
"R-right, uh…...what are we doing again?" Ruby squeaked out.
Weiss facepalmed, wondering how the hell she was gonna get through the rest of this class.
One hour later….
Ruby and Weiss were nearly done with the experiment, having the newly combined dust being heated above a brilliant blue flame. "Ok Ruby, please grab the dust so that we can properly cool it". Weiss calmly instructed her leader, writing the results in her notebook.
Ruby happily nodded, excitedly grabbing the dust which she soon handed to Weiss.
Weiss nodded, turning her attention towards Ruby as she grabbed the dust from Ruby's palm.
Or at least, she tried.
Ruby, can you please let go?" Weiss asked her leader, wondering why the dust seemed firmly planted in her hand.
Ruby's looked like she wanted to die, her mind flashing back to what happened earlier in the bathroom. "Uhhhhhhh about that…." She trailed off, not knowing how to properly explain the situation.
Weiss brow furrowed, "Ruby give me the dust". Weiss asked, slowly losing her temper as she started to pull harder on the vile, failing to notice that with each pull the dust inside the vile seemed to grow more and more unstable.
"I ...can't?" she squawked, noticing how Weiss seemed to be losing her patience. Oh god please don't get mad at me again. Ruby thought, acting like a child with their hand caught in the cookie jar.
That was the last straw for Weiss, "RUBY ROSE IF YOU DON'T GIVE ME THAT DUST THIS INSTANT THAN SO HELP ME, I'LL-"
Spider-sense
Ruby acted without thinking, yanking the bottle out of Weiss's grasp as she flipped several feet into the air. The class gasped, surprised at the young Rose's feat. However, their surprised awe soon turned into a look of fear when they heard a noise mid flip.
BOOOM!
"RUBY!". Her sister cried, hoping her sister wasn't injured from the small explosion.
Ruby winced as she felt her skin burn, no doubt from containing the miniature explosion. Wait, why didn't my aura activate? She thought in confusion, however, she didn't have much time to dwell on it as her enhanced reflexes made it so that she was able to keep her posture, causing her to land on her feet in an odd crouch like position. Ruby sighed in relief, dusting off her now soot ridden dress. "Huh, that hurt less than I thought it would." She mused, unaware of the shocked looks she was getting from her classmates.
"W-what just". Weiss stuttered out in shock, pointing a shaking finger towards her leader.
"Huh?" Ruby said, turning around only to see the whole class gaping at her. Oh yeah, I forgot about them…. She sweatdropped, this was going to be a long day.
A few hours later….
"Sooooo, are you still not gonna tell us what that was all about?" Yang asked, wondering how her sister was able to tank an explosion to the chest with merely a scratch.
"Yeah, the way you tanked that explosion was AWESOME!". Nora exclaimed, extending her arms in a wide array.
Ruby laughed sheepishly, "I already told you guys, I was just lucky that's all.". Ruby replied, putting a hand on the back of her neck.
Yang rolled her eyes, "Sis don't get me wrong but you're not exactly the most…. graceful person I know, at least when you're not using your scythe".
Ruby pouted, "Love you too." She dryly stated, picking up her lunch tray.
Yang sighed, "Look, sis, we're just worried about you right guys? She questioned, turning her attention towards her friends.
They all nodded, Weiss surprisingly stepping forward. "You dolt, we're your friends, so don't start keeping secrets from us now, or we're gonna have problems." She huffed, crossing her arms.
Ruby smiled, "Thanks, Weiss." She said, knowing that was Weiss's unique way of expressing her concern.
After a few seconds, Nora broke the silence, "Well, now that things are all fine and dandy..." She trailed off, staring at her food with a hungry look. "LET'S EAT!". She shouted, digging into her massive stack of pancakes.
They all laughed, Things are going better than I thought they would, maybe I should tell them about-"
"HEY PIPSQUEAK!". Cardin yelled, interrupting Ruby's train of thought.
Ruby internally groaned, Oh cats. She thought, upset that Cardin ruined her good mood. Slowly, Ruby got up, but before she could leave, she felt a slight tug on her shoulder.
When she turned around, she saw Yang with a concerned look on her face, "Be careful Rubes
Ruby nodded as if it was her way of telling her 'Don't worry, I can handle this', before making her way towards Cardin she said, "What do you want Cardin". She asked tiredly, usually, she would be a bit frightened of him but with everything that was going on today, she was too tired to care.
Cardin seemed to take note of this, "Oh? Did Little Red finally grow a backbone? '' He mocked, staring at her with a sinister look in her eyes.
Ruby sighed, "Cardin please, just leave me alone today.". She pleaded, turning around so that she could *hopefully* make it back to her friends before he does anything stupid.
Cardin smiled sinisterly," Hold on Red, what's the rush?". He said, putting an arm on the back of her shoulder.
That was a mistake.
Ruby's spider-sense reacted instantly, causing her to instinctually grab Cardin's arm, smashing him into the ground so hard that the impact created a small shockwave. When the dust cleared, it revealed Cardin on the ground groaning from the hit, his aura fizzling from the impact.
The room gasped, a mixture of awe and fear filled the room.
"OH, MY GODS I AM SO SORRY". Ruby shouted, attempting to help him out of the small crater she made.
However, when she tried to help Cardin, he pulled his arm away in anger, "You'll pay for that pipsqueak. BOYS GET HER!'" He shouted, face red with anger.
Ruby was about to apologize again when she felt a familiar tingle in the back of her head, her body moving on its own as she did a quadruple backflip. This allowed her to land on the top of one of the wooden cafeteria tables in the same crouch position she was in earlier.
"What the hell". Muttered Dove Bronzewing in surprise
A crowd was beginning to form, all eyes on Ruby as they awaited her next move.
Okay, maybe I can still salvage this, hopefully, I can just apologize, and we can all be on our-" She was snapped out of her train of thought when she saw a familiar mace coming in her direction. She acted instantaneously, grabbing his mace, using it as leverage to flip Cardin and herself, forcing Cardin to drop his mace as he crashed into one of the surrounding tables.
Ruby was about to let her guard down when she heard footsteps coming from behind her, her new instincts causing her to throw the mace behind her.
BLAM!
A pained groan was heard as the mace hit Sky Lark square in the chest, forcing his body to skid across the floor and right into another table.
The crowd was mesmerized by Ruby's show of grace and elegance. The way she was fighting was something expected out of an experienced huntsman, not a 15-year-old first year.
Meanwhile, WBY and JNPR were equally surprised, various thoughts running through their heads, attempting to decipher just what exactly happened to Ruby.
Her movements are so…. Blake thought in surprise, noticing how her movements seemed to have an animalistic flair that was rarely seen in most faunas.
"It's almost like she's…dancing." Pyrrha noted in awe, surprised that someone as young as Ruby was capable of such feats.
Nora turned her attention to Weiss, "So, did you like, teach her some tips or something because I'm pretty sure that she couldn't do that at Initiation." Nora asked the question on everybody's mind.
Weiss didn't answer at first, too focused on the way Ruby seemed to be contorting her body in ways that shouldn't be possible. "N-no I-I didn't even know that she was capable of any forms of grace without that oversized gardening tool". Weiss muttered out, eyes glued to the fight at hand.
"Well, if that's the case then…" She trailed off, looking back at the fight. "BREAK HIS LEGS RUBY!"
Ren shook his head.
They all turned to look at Yang, "Hey don't look at me, this is a first for me too." Yang said, holding her arms up in defense. First her sudden six-pack and then this…... Just what is going on with you Rubes ...?
Ruby POV
The fight was beginning to wind down, with Cardin being the last one standing while the rest of his team is groaning on the ground in pain. Suffice to say, that this was not how Ruby thought her day would go.
Oh, gods, I am going to be in sooooo much trouble. Ruby thought with dread, her body uncontrollably dodging Cardin's hits with absolute ease.
Cardin was starting to get tired, huffing and puffing as his swings were starting to become sloppy. Knowing that he was getting nowhere, Cardin dropped his mace and put the remainder of his aura into one last punch.
Ruby saw this, about to dodge the attack when she noticed her feet were stuck to the ground. Oh, nononono this is not the time for my body to get all sticky again. She thought, wondering why she wasn't feeling the strange tingle in her head. Seeing no other option, Ruby closed her eyes, bracing herself for impact.
CRACK!
The crowd winced at the sound, thinking that Cardin's punch made an ugly mark on Ruby's face. However….
Yang's eyes went wide, "Damn…." She whistled in surprise.
Not feeling any pain, Ruby slowly opened her eyes, only to have her breath hitch at what she saw.
Cardin was on his knees, holding his brutally battered hand as he looks up to Ruby with hatred in his eyes. "JUST WHAT KIND OF FREAK ARE YOU!" He screams, furious at the sight of his now mangled hand.
Ruby felt her breath get stuck in her throat, unable to formulate a response. "I-I" She stuttered, still in shock from the fact that Cardin's hand was broken from merely punching her. What did that thing do to me…? She thought, looking at her hands in confusion. Maybe I should tell someone before things get too out of-.
"WHAT HAPPENED HERE!". An angry Glynda Goodwitch said, her eyes focused on the bodies of the beaten team CRDL.
Before Ruby could explain herself, Cardin said, "IT WAS HER, THAT FREAK BEAT UP MY TEAM AND I FOR NO REASON!" Cardin cried, pointing an accusatory finger towards the fear-stricken Rose.
Glynda turned her attention towards Ruby, eyes narrowing as she said, "Is that true Miss Rose?" She asked sternly.
Ruby's eyes widened in fear as she held her hands up in a defensive manner, "W-what no, Cardin was antagonizing me and my team then"
"Forget it, a week's worth of detention, for all of you!". She said sternly, cutting Ruby off as she began to walk away from the cafeteria.
"B-but I-" Ruby tried to explain.
Glynda turned around, causing Ruby to gulp at the scary look on that face. "Not another word Miss Rose, if I ever see you getting into a fight like this again then I'll send you straight to the Headmaster. Do you understand?"
Ruby gulped, Nodding her head in understanding.
"Good". Professor Goodwitch said before finally exiting the room.
Ruby sighed, not looking forward to the detention as she walked back to her team, only to discover the looks of pure shock on their face.
Ruby groaned this is gonna be a long day.
Author's Note: Hey guys I know it's been a while, but I had to work through some personal issues. Don't worry though!
