Weiss pulled her welder mask above her face and wiped her brow, rubbing the grease off her face as she looked at her handy work. She was connecting metallic plating to create a shell for a leg. She stood up and walked over to her new machine which was leaking heat, melting metals and then pouring them into moulds. Her new work pace had changed from being the Heiress of the Schnee family to being the leading inventor of science and advancements in combat engineering. Most of the improvements were made to the EdelWeiss and all it's other smaller ships, turning the Schnee name from dust sellers to engineers and technicians. She was creating amazing inventions and weapons, and today was big for Weiss. Today, she was making one of her best friends a set of legs, and not just any legs, legs that could make her run, jump and land safely, all in one little neat package.

"Miss Schnee."

Weiss blinked and stood up, her anticipation was showing as her eyes went wide.

"Miss Rose has successfully completed the surgery."

Weiss jumped with a fist in the air. The nurse shook her head. Had she not, she wouldn't believe what she had seen. Weiss smiled and began to cry, grabbing a rag and wipping her face. "Thank you, nurse. Please let me know when she wakes."

The nurse nodded and walked out. Weiss smiled and continued her work, faster and more focused.

Weiss was woken up to the sound of her scroll beeping. She stood up and checked the caller. Blake. She answered and put it on speaker.

"Hey Blake. How did it go?" Weiss smiled as Blake tilted the camera towards a shaky yet smiling Yang. Weiss smiled and shook her head, "Reckless fool."

Yang gave a small chuckle and pointed at the camera. "Right back at you ice queen." Yang then sighed before panting heavily and closing her eyes. "I think I broke a few ribs."

"Yeah, doc said nothing deadly but gonna need a lot of rest, so she'll be fine. How's Ruby doing?" Blake asked curiously.

"She's resting. I'll be doing all of that tomorrow. You should get back and rest as well, or are you moving onto his location?"

Blake nodded and pulled a large case out from under her seat. "I got your package. Thank you. I will stay for a day to check up on them, but after that, I'll be gone for a while, but your support will not be turned away if you offer it."

"Blake, of course I will help. I just hope I can get these two out and on their feet by that time. Maybe if I bring the ship, it will scare him enough to surrender," Blake and Weiss giggled at the statement.

"It's worth a try. I will have Ilia and Sun with me as back up, but he will have a lot more than just goons. He will have paid off local gangs and anyone who hates the White Fang or Schnee family, so we need to be careful. This is just a small team expedition, and he will be waiting."

"Good luck, Blake. See you soon," Weiss closed the conversation and walked out of the room, taking a large briefcase with her.

It was late evening on the Edelweiss, and Ruby began to wake, blinking and wincing a little. The surgery was done hours ago, but she could still feel her body adjusting. Looking down at the metallic stumps on her thighs was weird at first, but she knew that they would come with something cool. Ruby sat up, and a nurse quickly rushed over.

"Miss Rose, how are you feeling?"

Ruby stretched some of her muscles and nodded. "I'm alright. I feel a bit numb, but I think that's normal."

The nurse nodded, pulling up her stethoscope and checking her heartbeat and breathing. "You seem fine. A full recovery for you, Miss Rose."

Ruby watched the door open, and Weiss walked in. Weiss was grinning from ear to ear. That worried the nurse, but it made Ruby smiled. Weiss placed the briefcase on the end of the Ruby's bed, flipping the locks open and turning it so Ruby could see what was inside. They were long metallic legs, coloured black and close to Ruby's own skin tone. Ruby shifted forward and grabbed one, a small droplet of drool began to leak from her mouth. Weiss placed her hand on Ruby's and chuckled.

"So, can I put it on?"

Weiss nodded and lifted the sheets up, causing Ruby to twitch a little.

She moved back a little, "S-sorry Weiss, I just-" Weiss nodded and held her hand.

"Ready, Ruby?" Weiss asked, placing her hand on Ruby's thigh. Sighing and nodding at Weiss, Ruby slid in the leg, turning it till it was locked into place. Weiss then continued with the other leg, securing them both and activating them. Ruby was slightly fidgeting. "Okay Ruby, move your foot."

Ruby let out a breath of air and rotated her ankle, bending it forward and back, rotating it one way, accidentally turning it 180 degrees around. "Woah. Okay, that's new," Ruby rotated it back to normal and sighed, turning her foot on her other leg and smilling. "Thank you Weiss," Ruby held her face and began to weep, letting the tears drop onto the sheets and her leg. Weiss moved next to her and held her close, "Y-you've done so much for me. I can't even think about what you've-" Ruby felt a hand on her cheek.

"Don't you worry about that stuff. It's fine. You mean a lot to me, okay? I don't want to lose you again."

Ruby looked deep into Weiss's eyes, seeing her strong determination and resolve shine through. Growing up around war and death can push anyone's normal life away, but Weiss was happy.

She pulled Ruby in for a kiss, wrapping her arms around her neck. She felt the soft red hair on her fingertips as her lips parted, sliding her tongue against Ruby's. The pair held each other for a minute before breaking apart and panting. "I love you Ruby Rose."

"I love you too, Weiss," Ruby leaned her head against Weiss and sighed happily.

Weiss pulled the sheets over them. "Let's get some rest. Yang will want to see you soon.

Ruby's eyes slammed open in surprise. "YANG'S HERE?"

Weiss shushed before gently smacking her head. "Quiet. She's in an IC Tank. She'll be fine, but she needs her rest."

Ruby nodded and snuggled into Weiss. "Don't leave me, please?"

Weiss planted a kiss on Ruby's forehead and smiled. "Of course. Never."
