A/N: here is chapter 4, hope you enjoy!
True this fic is another time travel but the difference from the other fics I have read is that either Ruby reveals who she is in e,arlier or mid in the story and considering that people may mistake her for her mother I'll try to make mine last longer also this covers multi crossovers in a minimum
Also and sadly for my part I have skipped some episodes from RWBY s1 and s2, and then stopped when penny was 'killed' so in order to know the events I will have to endure watching the 3 volumes again… so this might be slow updates after the initiation chapter which might be close at hand now, also I'm bad at making awesome fight scenes.
Disclaimer: check ch 1 again…
"On Regarding the maidens I will say this 'I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain' but consider me intrigued of them… not on a malicious intent of course" - Mesirix
(Summer 'Ruby' Pov)
As I watched my younger, no my daughter, I corrected myself gone inside the house I quietly leaned at the door listening in the conversation they were having,
"Ruby!" a feminine, must be Yang said "you're pretty late for just a visit to mom."
Then I heard Ruby saying "Dad, sis, you could not believe who I just met when I visited mom."
After few silence I heard Yang spoke again in an angry tone "Ruby if its another guy in Signal trying to hit on you, I'm gonna beat him to a pulp! No. One. Hits. On. My. Baby sister!", oh yes the older and protective sister, I silently laughed at the thought and steeled myself when I heard dad, Taiyang asked Ruby,
"Then what is it Ruby?"
"I have a surprise for both of you… well also for me but I kinda brought her here." Ruby replied
I knew some people could get the wrong meaning of that statement and those two were one of them, as confirmed when they yelled in unison.
"You brought a girlfriend Ruby!" both Yang and Tai, as what my mom's memory showed me on how she called him, soon I steeled myself when I heard Ruby calling to me,
"You should get in now!"
This is it, I hope I won't mess this up… I gently opened the door and inside was Ruby smiling and both Yang and Tai's eyes and mouth were opened wide in surprise I smiled and spoke
"Its been a long time now hasn't it? Yang, Tai…" I said
"Mom?" "Summer?" both Yang and Tai said altogether then looked at a smiling Ruby
"See I told you it was a surprise" she said enthusiastically
"Ruby, this can't be mom" Yang said disbelieving, causing the smile to disappear from Ruby's face, "But Yang shes -" "She can't be mom Ruby she might be another person that looks like her" Yang cut Ruby off while shaking her head.
As Yang is in denial Tai, was looking on shock face as he slowly approached me with one hand touching my face as I saw a flicker of recognition in his eyes, "Summer, is it really you?" he asked me
"Yes dear, its me and I'm so sorry of leaving you three for so long… we could discuss everything after dinner?" I replied as a small growl in my stomach was heard, I slightly blushed "and its quite a long story."
Tai smiled and he replied "Yeah sure Sum, we should eat then talked on what happened to you these past years." sitting back at his chair in the table I joined them and ate dinner like a family again… a one happy family.
After dinner we later talked about what happened to me and what happened since I'm gone for 10 years, as I relayed everything form when 'I' promised a 5 year old Ruby that I will come back from that mission to being thrown away in another different Remnant in which the Summer Rose there was barren and she found me, in a body of an 5 year old child and later adopted me, also the Summer there was wearing a red cloak instead of a white one, then she went to a mission and never came back, went to beacon became a huntress managed to go back home, well after everything went downhill, 'officially, non-official version came back in time from this reality', I thought
"So let me get this straight" Tai started "The that mission sent you to another Remnant and into a child?"
"Yes" I replied
"Where everything got destroyed by Grimm?"
"Exactly"
"... So any plans on what to do now?" he asked lastly
'I'm already doing something, dad, but I don't have time to explain just yet…', I thought "Well I just have to find another job now considering that I don't want to experience that crazy adventure again, maybe getting a job at Beacon?" I said as both Yang and Ruby's eyes widen at what I said and both got different reaction,
'Really! That will be so cool mom!' from Ruby and a 'what!?' from Yang, considering her questionable actions of going out…
"That's right right girls mom's gonna do teaching now" I said in a bright smile, looking at the time I saw that it was getting late I turned at two sisters.
"Now go to bed its getting late" I told them
"Alright mom" Ruby said as she led Yang upstairs to their room leaving only me and Tai
"Really Sum? Working as a teacher in Beacon?"
"Is there a problem? Tai?"
"Not that its just that…" he trailed off
"Just what?"
"Are you going by favoritism?" he finally said
My eyes widened "No I'm not… well a little bit, Qrow did that to Ruby, and the other Qrow did to me in the other reality."
"Oh right…" he yawned as he stretched his arms backwards "Well Sum I'm gonna call it a day, you coming or what?" he said smiling
"I'll catch up, I'm not really feeling tired right now just head on without me." I smiled at him as he too went upstairs, I sighed, well everything running smooth now but will this last long enough to stop the events to come? I picked up my scroll and reported in then I saw that the others have reported in and my eyes widen when I read the others report:
Mission Report:
Aliasse: Spring maiden secured and body double placed no difficulties
Kallari: Winter maiden secured and double placed with difficulties in convincing her that she is in trouble
Rip: Summer maiden was being stubborn but later convinced and double placed
Cylconis: Autumn maiden secured without difficulties body placed and was later attacked by call-sign Black Queen and her lackeys
Summer: Reunion with family achieved awaiting for employment at beacon
The others task was to secure the maidens and… replace them with doubles… well that may be questionable but quite effective to boot, then I saw another message coming from Mesirix himself,
-Phase one complete-
-Proceed with phase two-
-Regroup at cafe Armonia to meet contact 0900H-
-Await further assignments-
Huh? A group meeting at Cafe… Armonia? Thats… new, never heard of that cafe before, no wait… Blake went there when the whole white fang reveal fiasco got heated with Weiss… my heart ache at the mention of her name but now I cannot love her as I have done before but maybe this time ruby will have that relationship that I couldn't have…
Either way the meeting with the rest will answer some questions… I turned off my scroll then went up the stairs, I stopped now only realizing one massive problem… now that I'm my mother… then that means… I looked at the couch then upstairs, weighing my options, eh, the heck with as I head towards the couch and slept there, I could pass it off as being dead tired.
A/N: well here we have it I think I did a bit good in a small way… I hope you guys enjoy and if there is any problem with the conversations here let me know and I may have put some contradicting things in some way or another…
Either way constructive criticism is welcome
