Ruby woke up early the next day and got dresses for school. She walked to the kitchen and opened up the fridge to make some waffles and toast. Ruby placed the waffles in the microwave and the toast in the toaster and waited for them to be done. Qrow walked out and went straight to the fridge where he pulled out some orange juice and poured him and Ruby a glass, before sitting down at the table.
"Hey kiddo, you sleep well?" Qrow asked.
"Somewhat, so what did you do at work?"
"Worked…"
Ruby chuckled at the response and heard the microwave finish and pulled out her waffles and drenched them with syrup. Qrow grabbed one and took a monster sized bite out of it, before getting up.
" Well I need to get ready for work, and you need to get ready for school." Qrow said walking away
"Actually...can I stay home today, I don't feel well." Ruby said as she held her stomach. Qrow knew what she was doing and decided to play along.
"Well I don't see why not, but if I let you stay home...you have to do your chores." Qrow said walking up to Ruby and giving her a big grin" So, do we have a deal?"
"Deal! Now what do I do exactly? Do I clean the house, or repaint the living room, again?" Ruby asked.
Qrow laughed and got ready to go to work. As he left, Ruby went to her room and pulled out her costume and looked at it. She slipped it around to the backside and grabbed her web-shooters and made herself a little cape, with hoodie attachment and stuck it on the shoulder, so it would stay in place even if she was swinging through the city. Ruby put on her suit and jumped out her window, and quickly attached a web line to a building, and began to swing away. Ruby went to the building where she webbed her backpack too, and it was still there. Ruby sat down on the roof and pulled out her phone and opened her custom made app, that could pick up police scanners and have the ability to hear what was happening. All the sudden she heard a loud boom and looked in the sky and saw the Iron Maiden and War Machine flying by, no doubt looking for her after what she did to them yesterday. She watched them from behind a AC unit and watched them fly away.
The Iron Maiden was in a bad mood as it was, having been webbed to the ground by a vigilante and losing a possible lead on a case she was working on. War Machine flew next to her and they both rocketed towards the Schnee Duct Company tower and they both flew into a side entrance and landed in front of a elevator. The Maiden pulled off her helmet, revealing the pilot to be Weiss Schnee. As she stepped into the elevator, robotic arms came out of the walls and began to take her silver and blue suit away piece by piece.
"How are you doing today, Miss Schnee?" A robotic voice said as it was presented from the elevator speaker.
"I don't want to talk about it Jarvis…" Weiss said in a cold tone of voice.
"Don't be so rude little sister, it's not my fault you let that Spider-Girl to get away." Winter said as her suit of armor began to come off.
" I have only myself to blame. I was this close to seeing who was under the mask and I blew it!" Weiss said as she got out of the elevator and was followed by Winter. They walked into the family room and sat down, before putting on the news.
The masked vigilante known as the Scarlet Spider has assaulted the Iron maddin and War Machine yesterday evening.
"Are they still calling me the IRON MADDIN, Its Maiden, not Maddin! Weiss said as she laid on the couch. "They still don't call me the Ice Maiden yet? I think it sounds better than War Machine." Winter said as she joined her sister. Weiss got up and grabbed her laptop and logged into her Email and saw a new message from Ozpin.
We still have that 'thing we need to talk about…
Weiss groaned and walked to the elevator and got suited up in her White and Blue armor and flew off to the meeting point on the Golden Gate Bridge. Ozpin took a sip of his coffee and looked at Weiss." It's good to see you again Miss Schnee, now let's get down to business. I want you to find the people on this list and send them to me." Ozpin explained
" Look Oz...I'm not your lost and found person, In the Iron Maiden and Im a hero!"
"Ahh yes, a hero that tries to arrest another hero...how heroic at best." Ozpin simply said as he handed Weiss the list and walked away. Weiss flew home and went straight to her personal study. She pulled out the letter and began to look over it.
"Let's see...Yang Xiao long-Super Strength, ok seems useful. Blake Belladonna-, master assassin...that's great..Pyrrha Nikos- Super soldier? " Weiss said. "Jarvis, search up Pyrrha Nikos please." Weiss asked the AI butler. Within a few seconds it collected all the data it could find.
"Miss Nikos is also better known as Lady Liberty and led the main assault on a Nazi base during WW2. There she and her partner Jaune Arc where able to get on the nuclear warhead that the evil Red Skull launched. Unfortunately the duo gave their lives to stop the warhead from reaching the United States, a statue of Lady Liberty and her partner has been built under the Statue of Liberty." Jarvis said.
Weiss slumped back into her chair and rubbed her eyes." So this is the great hero my grandfather always talked about and who my father wanted me to be, and now Ozpin wants me to bring her back from the dead, I'm not a fucking witch!" Weiss yelled out as she pulled up the list again" lie Ren- Master marksman, Nora Valkyrie- The goddess of thunder...what the fuck, you know what I'm not going to question it anymore, and last but not lease Ruby Rose, cute name- The...Scarlet...Spider…" Weiss read. She could not believe it, how could S.H.I.E.L.D figure out who the spider was before her! Weiss picked up the list and ripped it up before sitting in her chair. She pulled up her computer and searched for the girl and saw that she was still in high school.
Student- Ruby Rose.
GPA- 5.00
Weiss looked at the computer and shut it off. Winter came into the room and sat on the desk" Is everything ok Weiss, it looks like you have just seen a ghost."
"No Winter, I just found out who the spider person is and guess what, she is still in high school!" Weiss said. Winter looked at her and shrugged it off." You are 18 years old Weiss, and she is what, 17 or 16 at the max. So you and her have a lot in common, you're both too young to be doing this stuff and both are really smart."
Weiss looked at her sister and smiled." You have the worst ways to cheer me up don't you?" Weiss said laughing." I do try as your big sister and all"Winter said giving Weiss a hug before leaving to go to bed. Weiss decided that was a good idea and they went to sleep.
