I'm happy to announce that, after a considerable amout of time, Roman and Neo finally make their triumphal return in this AU! Well, "triumphal return" is not the correct way to describe their comeback but you need to read this chapter to understand why I'm saying this. Now, Let's begin.

Over the years Roman had passed from being the most infamous criminal of Remmant to some sort of assistant or secretary, whichever was fine.

The worst thing of that was that his boss was James Ironwood, to this day Roman still does not know why he helped him to reduce his sentence, Roman did spend a couple of years in prision and after he was released Ironwood "hired" him and Neo. Roman know that he and Neo were "hired" just because the Atlas army waned Ironwood to keep an eye on them, since he was the one who defended the criminal duo, but Roman needed to be honest with himself, "working" for Ironwood was way better than life in prision.

And now, once again, he had been degraded from being some sort of secretary to a babysitter.

There was an event in the Schnee mansion, he did not know what kind of event and definetily did not care about it, and Ironwood had been invited. Roman thought thet he and Neo would be locked up in Ironwood's office, with some soldiers guarding the entrance and the windows, doing some paperwork until he was back, because no one in the army wanted to leave him or Neo whitout supervision. The day of the event James asked him and Neo to accompany him and now the reason for that was in front of his eyes. Four little girls that he and Neo needed to babysit until the end of te event.

"Why can't I run away from children?" Roman thought "Worst of all, two of them are lil' red kids….talking about bad luck"

As far as he could remember, the blonde faunus girl's name was Raven, the black-haired girl was Mia, lil' red clone was Summer, the youngest was Silver and they were all related to the girl that had only brought bad luck to his life. Roman really hates the day when he met Ruby Rose but now he only needed to focus in the four girls in front of him because if something bad happened to them….he will be in troubles, a lot of troubles.

"Okay, nice to meet you all. My name is Roman Torchwick and she is my friend Neopolitan, please call her Neo and we are you…" he took a depth breath because he did not like the idea of using that word but he did not have another choice "Babysitters, just go on and play with whatever you want and don't talk to me unless it's an emergency"

They were in a room that had been specially prepared for them. The place was filled with toys, books, a TV and even a improvised bed, if they girls were sleepy they would not need to sleep on the floor. Thinking that the girls would be distracted by all those things Roman grabed a chair, sat on it and began to read the newspaper, leaving Neo alone with the kids.

Neo turned to see the girls. Silver was hiding herself behind Summer, she was not very good with strangers after all, Raven, Mia and Summer were just looking at her. Neo moved a little to the left and the girls' eyes followed her, the same happened when she decided to move a little to the right, so, Neo just decided to smile at the girls. Unlike Roman she actually liked the idea, oddly enough, of being a babysitter and the girls were cute but since she was unable speak, she did not know if she would be able to play with them or if they would be able to understand her. Several seconds passed and the girls were just staring at her, honestly she was starting to feel uncomfortable, finally Mia was the first one to speak.

"So cool!" Mia got closer to Neo, her twin and cousin quickly followed her, Silver was left a little behind them "Miss, your hair is cool!"

"And your eyes are pretty" Raven said "One is pink and the other is brown, that's really cool"

"Can we touch it?" Summer ask.

Neo nodded, sat on the floor and quickly found herself surrounded by the girls, except for Silver, Neo began to hear compliments about her hair, Raven and Mia said that their dad's hair was more fluffy though. Summer said that she loved the pink part, Raven loved the brown part and Mia had decided to make a braid with the two colors. Suddenly Neo felt how someone was touching her bangs and suddenly she was making eyes contact with Silver, the little girl's face turned red and stoped her action.

"Y-you hair is a little like mine" Silver said while pointing at her hair.

While Silver's hair was reddish-white and no dual colored like Neo's, having a mix of two hair colors was something that they have in common. Neo smiled and patted Silver's head.

"She's pretty good with children" Roman thought.

Neo's actitued trough the girls could be like tha for two thing, she genuine liked the idea of being a babysitter or she was trating them with kidness because she was scare of what could happen if she did not do it. The last thing that they wanted was an angry Winter Schnee chasing them. Roman would make sure to ask Neo about it later.

He continued reading the newspaper, he would check them again in some minutes, althought it was a little hard to read when he could hear every single thing that was coming out of the children's mouths, althought something caught his attention about it. The girls kept talking but with each other, they were not talking to Neo or asking her things, as far as he knows those were things that children normally do. Maybe everything was a coincidence and probably for the best, in that way the girls would not feel bad if they ask something and did not get an answer. Several minutes passed and when Roman finally decided to check on them again he found Silver in front of him with a book in her hands, it was kind of awkward.

"Hey…ehm…Silver. Do you…need something?"

"Ehm…" Silver showed the book to him "C-can you read it for me, please?"

Roman knew that what he was about to ask would sound very dumb but he needed answers.

"Why me?"

"Mommy told me that a guy with an ugly hat and a lady who can't talk would take care of us. Also, Why Neo can't talk?"

Well that explained why the girls had not been asking any kind of thing to Neo, they already knew that she can not speak.

"Two things" he said "First, my hat isn't ugly is classic"

"That doesn't change the fact that it looks ugly to us" Mia said.

Now Roman had Raven, Mia and Summer behind Silver, it was more than sure that they also wanted him to read the book.

"Second" he continued "Neo can't speak because she is mute, something happened in her throat when she was born and because of that she can't speak"

It had not been the best explanation but he did what he could, surprisingly instead of asking more questions about it, the girls asked how Neo was able to communicate. But who can blame them for that, after all a child curiosity was strong.

"Well, she used to write what she needed but some years ago she learned sign lenguage and things become a lot easier. I have always been able to understand her without problems before that, though"

"Sign lengu..leng…what?" Summer said.

"Does that mean that she use signs?…How do that works?" Raven said.

The girls turned to see Neo and she decided to show them. She showed her two hands, she passed her right hand over the left one, after that she closed her hands, raised the index fingers, made them face each other and finally pointed at the girls with her right hand. The girls turned to see Roman waiting for the translation.

"That means: Nice to meet you"

After that the girls just exclaimed a big "Wow!" and then began to ask Neo how did she say "Hello, "Goodbye", "Thank you" and "Please". Roman just sighed and decided to go back to his newspaper, now that the girls were paying attention to Neo again he did not need to read the book or at least that was he thought. Silver just grabbed his coat, with the book on her hand, and stayed there looking at him without saying any word. For Roman, it's was like Silver did not have the courage to ask him to read it again but having her looking at him like that was making him feel akward again.

"Okay, give me that thing" being forced to read a children's book…..he could not feel more humiliated "Once upon at…Hey!"

Silver had started to climb Roman's legs and eventually the girl was sat on his lap, he did not liked it but he could not do anything about it. Roman started reading again and once again he was interrupted, Summer was climbing his left arm and Raven was climbing the right one. He realized that they also wanted to see the book and the he decided to sat on the floor because if he did not do that Summer and Raven would eventually fell to the floor. This time Roman really thought that he would be able to continue the reading but in a matter of seconds he felt a pair of arms around his neck and Mia's head above his left shoulder. Sitting on the floor with a children's book in his hands and a bunch of little girls treating him like some kind of furniture. How much humiliation did he needed to endure?.

"Why are you doing this?" he asked "You can just listen to the story"

"It's no the same if you don't look at the pictures!" the girls said.

Honestly, he was expecting that kind of answer. Once again Roman started reading the sentence "Once upon at time" and once again the reading was interrupted but this time by his ownself, he had heard the noise of a camera taking a picture, and turned to see Neo. She was holding her Scroll with a big smile on her face, Roman did not need to be a genius to know that Neo was taking pictures. How could she be taking photos of his most humiliating moment!?

Neo must had noticed how Roman was looking at her because she put her Scroll away and used her hands to telling him this:

"You think you look dumb but I think that you look cute"

"Seriously?" Neo nodded and then Roman just sighed "Well as long as you don't record this, I'm fine"

"I can't promise that"

A new reason of why Neo did not mind the new babysitter job appeared in Roman's mind, she was able to see him humiliating himself.

Roman said nothing, he began to read the book wishing that that would be the first and last time that he would need to babysit those girls. Sadly for him that was just the first time of many.

Time to start calling Roman, Nanny. Poor guy went to criminal to babysitter way to fast and to make things worse his partner in crime just love the idea of babysitting the girls. I think I´m going to call the chapters with Neo and Roman doing the babysitter job "Nanny Roman misadventures". Anyway, as always, I hope everyone had enjoyed, leave a review, fav or follow and see you next time.

Atte. Kaze-chan.
