Hello... I am very sorry about the delay on this chapter, if I'm being honest, I was just planning on giving up on this story due to the degree of writers block I hit between this and chapter 2. Though after seeing that over 1k people have read this... MY HEART FILLED WITH RESOLVE! That's right! Thanks to you guys and gals! There's not just chapter 3, but I'm also working on a few other projects as well! And before I go, all of the praise is on you guys! With just knowing that this and The End have nearly 3k Views combined is enough to push me past my limits and give me a new reason to write! Thank you! And See you guys next chapter!
Peace!
Ruby popped her head out from under the covers of the blanket, the morning sun having been the main cause for the girl's sudden awakening "Weiss… It's time to get up."
Weiss let out a small groan as she raised up from the covers, and somehow, she was looking far more exhausted than before she'd went to bed "Good morning, Ruby…"
She'd never admit it, but sleeping with Ruby that close to her, sleeping with the warmth of her girlfriend right next to her, and with all that had transpired between them the night prior, she knew it was by far the best nights sleep she had in awhile
"C'mon! We're gonna be late!" Team RWBY still had responsibility even while Class 1-A were at their internships, they had to call each student at least once a day, though this was less of a job and more of a safety protocol. Plus they had to check in on any students and their selection Pros if they were in the area, lucky from them, the only internship local was Izuku Midoriya and Gran Torino
"Can I at least get a shower first? I need to be somewhat awake if were going on a date…" Weiss was someone who'd normally get out of bed within a moments notice. But today was different, in bed, she had warmth, comfort, and most importantly of all, she had Ruby
"How about we take one together? Then we can spend half the time we normally would!" Weiss's eye bulged out of her head, she practically lost it on the girl in front of her
"ARE YOU CRAZY!"
Ruby just grinned and kissed her girlfriend on the cheek "I knew that'd get you up!"
Weiss let out a sigh of frustration and relief, though she was slightly disappointed by the fact that Ruby was only kidding. But those feeling were quickly dashed away by the sheer thought of Yang's reaction to the two of them showering together "You dolt…"
Ruby quickly sat up from the bed "I'm going to eat breakfast!"
Weiss just chuckled softly, Ruby's extreme cheerfulness was annoying, yet adoring at the same time "Alright, sweetie…"
Ruby's face lit up to a dark red color "A-Alright..!" She quickly rushed out of the room, wanting to avoid any more embarrassment.
((in the living room))
Ruby had rushed straight out of her room, right down the steps, and directly into the kitchen, where surprising enough, breakfast was already made
"Hey Ruby!" Yang was sitting on the couch, she had on a yellow tank-top and black sweatpants, she was watching something on her phone
"Hey sis, didn't think you'd be up this early…"
Yang just smirked as she continued to stare at her phone "Couldn't sleep, so I made breakfast…"
Ruby gave her normally perky smile, then sat down to her morning meal, though before she started, something popped into her mind "What's ya watching? You seem really into it."
Yang paused her phone and looked over at Ruby "I'm rewatching some fights from the sports festival." She then turned it back on and began to focus once more
"Really? Who's?" Ruby was speaking with a much full of food
"The one between Midoriya and Todoroki. Also, swallow." Ruby followed her sisters advice and took a gasp of air
"You mean bone breaker boy?" Yang just nodded
"His style is flawed, but damn is it effective! He's just shattering that ice like it's nothing!" Yang was honestly impressed by Midoriya's resolve and fighting spirit
"And besides, he kinda reminds me of..." Yang paused, she'd almost let it slip about 'them' and she didn't want her sister having a break down, especially since she was already in such a fragile mental state
"You mean Jaune… Don't you..?"
Yang just nodded, her breathing was beginning to turn shaky "I-I'm sorry… Ruby…" To Yang's surprise, Ruby just gave her a small smile
"It's okay… I'm sure… They're…" She began to cry, everything had finally hit her. Jaune, Nora, Ren, they were all gone
"I-In a-a better… Place…" Ruby's voice grew tiny as she put her fork down, she'd now fallen into full blown tears
"It's okay Ruby! I mean… If we're here, maybe they're here too!" Yang had gotten up from the couch and hugged her sister
"I-I hope..!" Ruby embraced her sister in a hug, everything having just hit her at once
"Everything'll be fine! I'm sure of it!" Ruby just looked at her sister
"It will! A-As long as we have each other! Nothing will break us!" Ruby's spirit had returned, and just in time. Weiss came down the steps, she wore a red and white sweatshirt, a pair of blue jeans, and a white jacket
"You look gorgeous!" Ruby was practically shouting
"Do you have to be so loud..?" They all stared up at the person behind Weiss, it was Blake, she had a dark purple t-shirt and black shorts on
"And speaking of gorgeous! How's my darling doing?" Yang gave Blake an overly goofy grin
"Good..! Though when I reached for you, I kinda fell outta bed…" Yang and Ruby couldn't help but laugh, Blake was normally extremely aware of her surroundings, so her acting so clumsy was something completely new to the two girls
"Personally I think it's sad." Weiss was quick to blurt out her response
"It just shows that whatever you two get up to at night, it leaves you both completely exhausted." Yang and Blake's face turned red, Weiss wasn't wrong about them, but she wasn't one to admit what she got up to with her girlfriend
"Eww! I think that's enough of hearing about Yang and Blake's sex life…" For as much as the thoughts of Weiss ran through Ruby's mind, just the mere idea of her sister naked was enough to gross Ruby out beyond words
"W-We d-don't…" Yang was defeated, she had nothing left to say
"Yeah…" Everyone just chuckled slightly at Yang's face of utter embarrassment
"I'd rather have it all be out in the open, it just cements a reason for you two to knock before entering. " Ruby and Weiss's faces turned red at Blake's comment. Since when was she so snarky? Though she wasn't wrong, they now were fully aware at the consequences of entering without knocking
"T-Thanks… For the… Heads up..." Weiss's face said it all, she was embarrassed beyond comprehension!
((Later at Gran Torino's home))
Ruby had on a red t-shirt with a black jacket, along with a pair of black sweatpants "I guess this the place..?" She knocked on the door, this place looked like a dump
"If it is, this Gran Torino must be one lazy ass hero." Yang was wearing a dark yellow sweatshirt and black sweatpants
"C'mon Yang, he's probably old." Blake had a dark purple crop top along with a black jacket on, this was mixed with a pair of black jeans
"C'mon guys, I doubt he's-"
Weiss was cut off by the sound of the door opening, and behind said door was none other than Izuku Midoriya
"Hey, Izuku" The four of them greeted him in unison
His eyes widen, this was the first time he'd met the four of them face to face "H-Hello!" He was practically shaking, he had no idea why they were here
"Don't be shy, we're just here to check up on ya!" He let out a small sigh of relief from Yang's answer
"O-Okay!." He stepped to the side of the doorway as Team RWBY stepped into the house. It was fairly sized, actually it reminded the four girls of their apartment in a way
"So… How's the internship going?" Blake was somewhat shocked at how normal this place looked, it was nothing like she'd expect a hero's home to look like
Izuku gave a faint smile as he shut the door "It's going great, Gran Torino's helped me figure out my Quirk a bit more."
Yang's eyes widen slightly at Izuku's response "So you've stopped breaking your bones?"
He gave her a bit of a shy smile and a nod "Yeah, you could say that."
((A couple hours later))
Ruby began to nod off, they'd been talking to Midoriya for what felt like years now
"And they he shout with every last drop of his might 'Go Beyond, Plus ULTRA!'!" Izuku was now telling the four of them about how All Might overpowered Noumu's shock absorption
Weiss let out a small giggle at the young man's over excitement about All Might, even going as far as pushing the air when shouting Plus Ultra "It seems like you really admire him, don't you?"
Izuku just nodded and gave her a gigantic smile, not to different from All Might's "Yeah! He's the one who inspired me to be a hero!"
Yang snickered slightly "You could say, you admire him with All of your Might."
Yang's joke earned her nothing but stares from the other girls. Though to their surprise, Izuku started to chuckle at Yang's terrible sense of humor "Holy crap! You like like my jokes?"
Izuku just gave Yang a a shy smile as his chuckling started to die down "Yeah! Shouldn't I?" But before anyone could give Izuku an answer, the front door opened
"Ah! Gran Torino!" The four girls looked as Izuku shot up slightly, they then looked at who'd entered, it was a short old man wearing a yellow and white costume with a mask and a cape
"Hello Toshinori." Everyone was dumbfounded, everyone except Izuku
"Are these your sisters?"
Izuku chocked on his own spit from the comment "N-No!"
He then looked at the four of them and began to rush them out the front door "It was great talking to you guys!"
His voice was cracking rapidly from embarrassment and anxiety "I'll see you guys in a couple of day! Bye!"
And just like that, he shoved all four of them out the front door
"Well... Wander what he's hiding?" Yang was in a sorta shock state, she had no idea on why he wanted them gone
"Well I doubt it's anything we should be concerned about." Weiss let out a small sigh as she stared at Ruby
"Let's go, Weiss!" Ruby's face glowed with an overly cheerful smile as she pulled Weiss with her
"Where are you two going?" Ruby froze from her sister's question, though she quickly cleared her throat and took a deep breath, all in order to give her sister an answer
"We're going on a date!"
Yang's face was a mix of shock and joy "Really! Where ya going?"
Ruby's face lit up a light pink color as she tried to gain the courage to tell her sister about their plans "W-We're going to this new restaurant in Hosu..."
Yang's eye lit up as she gave off a gigantic smile "You mean 'JoCa's Steakhouse'?"
They both nodded as Yang's smile grew "Me and Blake were planning on going there too!"
~League of Villains~
((Earlier that day, at the hideout))
"So you want me to be apart of your crumbling little league. But you won't accomplish anything if you don't have convictions and desire." Stain had Tomura pinned to the ground, a knife stabbed into his left shoulder
"Without those, you'll always be an aimless weakling. Accomplishing nothing." Tomura was breathing heavily, he would never admit it. But he actually scared for his life, along with 'her's, and Kurogiri's "That's how you got here."
Tomura was beginning to shake, this was the first time he felt truly afraid of someone "Hey now. Your being a little rough, aren't you?"
Tomura then turned his head to Kurogiri "Kurogiri, take this guy back." Tomura was waiting for the Hero Killer to vanish, but to his dismay, he didn't
"I'm sorry. I can't move. It must be the Hero Killer's Quirk at work." Kurogiri wasn't the only one who could move
"I'm sorry Tomura. I can't even move my fingers." The woman had a small cut across her left cheek, and she just started at Stain
"The word 'hero' has lost all meaning in this society. The world is overrun by fakes and criminals, like you, who chase petty dreams."
The woman began to get feeling back in her hand as she tightened it into a fist "Yeah? And what are you, a goddamn saint!?"
Stain turned his head to the woman, who was staring him dead on "My goals are to show this world what scum it's 'heroes' really are. Greedy pigs who lust for only power and wealth."
The woman took a few deep breaths but didn't respond to Stain
"Pathetic…"
He turned back to Tomura "And without convictions or desires to chase. There's only death." Stain was about to stab Tomura, until
"I won't let you!" The woman had gotten up and grabbed a knife from the bar "Die you son of a bitch!"
She charged at Stain, pointing the knife right at his face
"You idiot." Stain quickly turned the blade from Tomura's neck, to the woman's chest "Perish."
He plunged the knife right at her chest
"AHHH!"
The room filled with bloodcurdling screams of pain, though it wasn't from the woman. It was from Tomura "Why did you do that? I wasn't aiming for a lethal blow, yet you still went to block my knife."
Tomura had raised his left hand just in time to stop the blade, though it was partially impaled by the before he could fully decay it "Hmm. Maybe your not as much of a fake as I thought. Perhaps, I'll let you live."
Stain stared at Tomura, who was trying to keep his resolve while facing down this 'Hero Killer'
"Consider this a mercy." He pulled the first knife out of Tomura's arm as he stood up
"I shall spare your life out of curiosity." Tomura slowly stood up, his hand was numb, blood covered the floor where his hand and shoulder were stabbed
"I'm free?" Kurogiri was now able to move, his body regaining it's control
"Kurogiri, someone as crazy as this would be nothing but problems for the League of Villains."
Kurogiri's eyes widen at Tomura's statement "Please-"
Tomura cut him off "He's a madman, we don't need someone like this running a muk while we're trying to rebuild."
Kurogiri just nodded as he opened up a warp gate behind Stain "You may return to Hosu."
Stain just turned around and began to step towards the portal "I'll only show you mercy once, you better accept it."
Just as he finish speaking, he vanished through the warp gate
"Good grief… That guy's a fucking monster." The woman was exhausted, Stain had completely out matched the three of them
"And just when the last of my injuries were about to heal too." Tomura was attempting to scratch his neck with his right hand, but the pain was preventing him from doing jack shit
"Tomura, give me your hand." He just stared at her for a moment before extending his left hand out to her "You know… You really didn't have to risk losing a hand for me."
He groaned as she began to repair the damage to his hand "I can't let our party's healer get knocked out, then it'd be game over for us."
The woman began to laugh at Tomura's bizarre comparison "Well my Aura probably could have taken his knife."
Tomura let out a small sigh "I doubt it, he shattered mine the moment he struck my shoulder."
The woman's eye widened slightly "Are you kidding me?! That bastard's insane!"
Tomura began to laugh at the woman's reaction "Though I gotta admit, that was a completely brain dead move to just charge at him like that."
The woman just gave lightly smacked his back as she stepped over to Kurogiri "I could say the same thing about you, trying to enlist someone like that was just plain stupid."
Tomura groaned as he scratched his neck, relieving some of the built of stress and tension "Kurogiri and I are going out later, wanna come?"
The woman's eye widened slightly, she'd never been asked to accompany Tomura when he'd cause chaos "Well..."
She paused for a moment as she looked at Kurogiri's injury, the skin slowly being repaired around the wound
"For as nice of an offer as that sounds, I'd like to stay here..."
Tomura just nodded as he went to go wash up his injurious "Alright, be sure to check the news tonight."
Was is good? I know it may be a disappointment due to the extremely long wait time, but I hope you guys and gals can find some enjoyment out of it. Now to answer some questions from my PMs.
Q1: How do they have money?
A1: The teachers at U.A. gave them enough to live off of for the week until Class 1-A are done at their internships.
Q2: Are you planning to add an OC?
A2: Not quite, I'm going to make a few new Noumu and maybe a random Pro or two. But as far as original main characters, noway in hell!
Q3: Who the flying fuck is that woman?
A3: You'll just have to wait and find out. But I'll say this, it'll turn the world
(Hello! Editor here! I just wanna say that yes, Freedome had been hit by an All For One level writers block. But that's not why this chapter took so long, that's due to the fact that once My Hero One's justice came out, he went MIA for about a week before coming back to this. So just a heads up that he is sorta full of shit. Resume!)
And everything that Ruby knows upside down!
Thank you guys again and always remember to keep moving forward, and never forgot to say "GO BEYOND! PLUS! ULTRA!"
Peace!
