Chapter 20

Trespassors

Sliding back from the training rooms holographic Ursa Major, Odin stood up while wiping his nose of fresh blood he rolled his left shoulder while adjusting his grip on his spear, lightning crackling to life.

Looking to his left he saw his sister decapitate a Training Creep as Cardin held it down, the two getting along well after team CRDL got a wake up call, Cardin had been a brother to Odin a lot more after yesterdays food fight.

A fact he narrowed his eyes towards as Cardin had also hung around Yennefer more often.

Turning to the right at hearing a rapid series of shotgun blasts he saw his girlfriend send scattered beowolf away she smiled devilishly with her eyes showing too less sanity.

The quirk he loved about her.

All that left was their current second in command leader Loki who was nowhere in sight, which left Odin against the training Ursa he willed his semblance to channel into his spear he saw Gabrielle ready to rush at it with Yennefer and Cardin also ready to strike.

This had been a recurring regime the team had for the upcoming Vytal Festival, with other teams being on stand by for whenever Loki left to check on his girlfriend or his spy network it had been a very weird day when they had walked in on Nora and Loki midway of a make session, which was followed by team RWBY taking Nora to their Dorm room, it was when Odin saw her leave the room with a look of thought which he defused as deep thought which he remained silent towards.

But right now Odin had to go to the nurses office to make sure his last taken hit didn't cause a minor concussion.

Seeing the last training Grimm roar before the sound of a discharged hand-cannon went off along with the top of its head, turning to look over his shoulder Odin saw Loki holstering his weapon, which now had a name thanks to it's molten metal look, Lucifer is what he had called it due to it being used with fire imbued dust, the other hand-cannon was stupidly enough called Thor due to it primarily using lightning dust.

Walking to the now deactivated Grimm hologram Loki nodded in greeting.

"So, what I miss?" Loki questioned as his team approached with Cardin looking to Yennefer shyly.

"Nothing much, training for the Vytal Festival, any news from your network?" Gabrielle said with Loki adopting a serious expression.

"No new news from them yet, Sun I can understand along with my other contacts, Neo however is the only one giving me warnings, and recently she's told me of three infiltrators coming to beacon from her "group"." Loki said with emphasis on the word "Group".

Following after his team he nodded to Cardin who nodded back before he left to find his team,

"So, anyone heard of the dance coming up?" Odin questioned with Loki chuckling.

"Yep, Cardin asked me about that actually" Yennefer said with Loki and Odin giving her raised eyebrows, making her roll her eyes.

"What?" Yennefer questioned as Gabrielle stopped by a window, leaving her team walking until Odin noticed her absence, turning to her he saw her staring out a window in worry.

"Gabrielle, what's up?" Odin questioned as Loki turned and looked out the window, making his own eyes widen at the sight of Atlas ships.

"Oh boy, this could cause a panic" Loki said in worry.

"No kidding" Yennefer said before Loki began to walk to the schools library.

Lying on the table with her down in thought, Nora paid no mind to Her childhood friend Lie Ren place a page on her head to continue reading his book for homework, with Jaune and Pyrrah sitting at the table beside theirs, Nora looked to team RWBY as they played Remnant the Game, their previous request and hopeful compromise.

Thinking back to the day they asked her the possibly surprising question she had ever been asked she looked to the library doors for any moment for Loki to step in, to make her day brighter. Setting her head back down Lie Spoke.

"Still thinking of that proposition team RWBY gave you yesterday?" Looking to her friend who had his eyes on the page he was reading she sat up and sighed.

"Yes, I just don't know how Loki will react to the fact I have been thinking of accepting the offer" Nora said with Lie looking at her with wide eyes of surprise and shock that his friend would even consider Sharing Loki of all people, her boyfriend of all people, with four other girls.

And the fact one was younger than the others was simply uncalled for.

"Are you actually considering it?" Lie Ren questioned quietly with Nora looking at him.

"Of course, I mean just think, if something were to happen to me or Loki, the baby wouldn't be left alone to be an orphan, it will have the others to give it comfort" Nora said, failing to see Lie Ren looking at her in surprise at the well thought out benefit of the situation, looking to team RWBY he saw Ruby grovelling in defeat as yang had won against her younger sister.

Raising an eyebrow at the scene he turned back to a nervously smiling Nora.

"it will need a lot of work" Lie Ren said with Nora linking at the fact her friend agreed to it after hearing that.

"Ruby can be an older sister too if a baby ever comes" Lie Ren said offhandedly with Nora blushing, before her thoughts went to her as an adult holding a bundle in her arms with small wolf ears her hair colour sitting atop a little girls head.

Smiling fondly at the possible future her thoughts were shattered as Jaune approached team RWBY, asking about the game and if he can play, looking back down in thought for a good minute Nora before she blinked as Pyrrah rushed to stop Jaune, meaning to cover his mouth with her hand she instead tripped and tackled Jaune to the ground, making Jaune let out a muffled groan while Pyrrah let out a moan due to their lips currently being interlocked.

Making Nora smile as Ren sighed as he handed her a quad of Lien.

"Never bet such things with Loki… ever" Lie Ren said with Nora giggling, before she perked up at hearing approaching footsteps, making her look to the source she slumped as she saw Sun and a blue haired teen approach.

"Sup Losers" Sun greeted goodheartedly before he saw Jaune and Pyrrah on the verge of making out on the floor.

"Uh…?" looking to team RWBY they simply shrugged.

"Hey Sun" Ruby greeted with a small wave, making said monkey Faunus look around for a certain werewolf Faunus.

"So, is Loki in or is he still out?" Sun questioned with the blue haired teen clearing his throat, making Sun turn and turn back around.

"I never got a chance to formally introduce you to my old friend." Sun said with RWBY looking at them.

"I'm Neptune" raising a hand in friendly gesture Sun spoke.

"He was one of the contestants in Loki's Parkour tournament in Mistral"

"You mean the guy that froze when he got to the water section?" turning to the voice with a jump of fright from Neptune the others turned to see team GLOY standing behind Neptune and Sun, Loki wearing his coat over his right shoulder, showing a black tank-top matched with black cargo pants and black and white sneakers.

Walking by them to his girlfriend who perked up at his presence he slid over the table to sit beside her, before he spotted Jaune and Pyrrah on the ground.

"HEY!" yelling at the two who jumped at his yell he pointed to a post where a sign hung.

"This is a Library, if you want to make out go to your dorm rooms" Loki said with the two blushing before they noticed Blake leave them.

Making Loki frown in worry for his friend, an all too familiar feeling clicking in his mind.

Am I the only one worried for Blake,?" Yennefer questioned with a frown as Odin spoke.

"No, I am too, she's been like this ever since the Docks?" Odin said with Gabrielle going to go after her until Loki stood up.

"I'll see what's up, I helped her leave the White Fang after all" Loki said before leaving with his body breaking down into a small cloud of ash, startling Neptune at seeing the sight for the first time.

Looking to the others as they sat down, not even bothered Loki can do that with his physical being.

"Is that normal?"

"He's the headmasters adopted son, so yeah, it is" Ruby said with Wiess looking after the two with a frown of worry.

Sitting within her team dorm room, Blake sat on her bed with a small pad of a drawing in front of her, holding her knees to her chest in deep thought as she stared at the drawing her thoughts went to the night at the docks, the words Roman had said to her words of demand for answers, and then to the thought of Loki's adult counterpart staring at her longingly she shook her head of such thoughts to the interview she had with Ozpin, who questioned her of why she was at the docks, Loki had been completely honest about his spies stating about the robbery, which made Ozpin reel back any serious questions he had, much to Blake's surprise at the time.

But what kept plaguing her mind and thoughts was the fact the White fang had joined up with a criminal, a human criminal of all things.

Shaking her head she looked to the drawing of which she had gotten from Loki's future self.

It was a sketch, a sketch of an adult version of herself that held a small black haired toddler that was letting out a cute yawn.

When she asked why he had given it to her, Loki's future self merely smiled and winked saying.

"To keep your mind from falling further down"

She didn't know what he meant until now, which was barely keeping her from falling further down, but she needed something to help, someone to hear her stress and worry, someone who could actually help her solve this problem she could never think of solving…

Hearing a knock on her dorms room, she perked up in alarm as she quickly hid the drawing of her possible future.

She hopped down and approached the door she spoke.

"Who is it?"

"House keeping!" hearing Loki's poor impression of a housemaid actually brought a genuine smile to her lips as she opened the door, seeing Loki holding a fan below his face for dramatic effect he smiled slightly at her frown of comprehension before he sent the ash made fan away.

"You alright, you left us pretty worried in the Library" Loki stated with Blake sighing as she stepped aside to let him in, closing the door behind him she climbed up onto her bed once more as Loki sat on Yang's bunk beneath Weiss' bed, paying full attention to his fellow Faunus.

"So, what's got you so sleep deprived and malnourished?" blinking at Loki's question Blake frowned and moved to the bathroom of the dorm room, seeing the forming bags under her eyes she winced at the sight, making Loki move into view in the mirror Blake sighed as he frowned in worry.

"Loki, I… how are you so calm about the events that happened at the docks, the White Fang working with Torchwick, your future self-appearing, Crimes skyrocketing-" Turning to Loki who stood in silent focus she continued.

"How can you and the others not be worried about what the White Fang are planning?" Blake questioned with a voice of desperation that made Loki frown in worry.

"You want to know why I'm not worried?"

"YES!" Blake yelled with a voice unlike her usual stoic and calm look, her yell, however, had no outward reaction from Loki, that is until Loki sighed and gestured for him to follow him to the main room where she followed and watched him press a series of code into his scroll he knelt down and placed it on the ground, followed by a list of events he had catalogued in his scroll, making Blake stare in awe as he turned to her.

"I am as worried as you are Blake, which is why I have all my known contacts and informants gathering all they can of what the Fang are planning, from past and Present events everyone I know are hard at work" Loki said as he turned back to the ever changing events until one pinged, making him reach and open the folder to see it was informing him of a White fang faction rally due tomorrow night, seeing this Blake stepped forward before Loki heard a shifting behind the door Blake turned and went to open it as Loki picked up his scroll, shutting off the large digital tree of information he turned to see Blake opening the door, showing the rest of team RWBY on the floor in a pile.

"Really?" Loki questioned in a Blake-like fashion before Ruby sat up.

"We want to help?" this made Blake and Loki blink.

"Pardon?"

"Blake is our teammate, so it is in our right to help her out"

"So if your going after the White fang, than count us in"

Looking to Weiss and yang respectively before turning to Loki he merely smiled encouragingly, smiling thankfully back with a small blush she turned to her team with a smile.

"Alright, what do you all have?" Blake questioned as the rest of her team entered the room, closing the door they spoke.

With Loki taking a seat beside Blake as Ruby got their attention.

"Okay, all in favor of becoming the youngest Huntresses to single-handedly taking down a corrupt organization conspiring against the Kingdom of Vale... say aye."

"I'm pretty sure we get it Ruby" Loki said with a smile.

"Yes! I love it when you're feisty!"

"Well, I suppose it could be fun."

"None of you said aye!" Ruby said with Loki smiling.

"Aye" turning to Loki with a small smile, Blake went to say her own Aye before Ruby gasped in horror.

"I forgot my board game" Ruby said while about to go get it until Loki spoke with a sigh.

"I'll get it, you four just think of a plan until I get back" Loki said as he walked by Ruby, with Yang checking out his body before he closed the door, leaving the team alone before Yang turned to Blake.

"Has Nora told him about our proposition?"

"I don't think he knows, at all" Blake said with a sigh.

"Guess we'll have to wait, Nora did say she's agreed to us sharing him" Yang said hopefully.

"Yeah, I guess" Blake said before she climbed onto her bed, taking out the drawing, smiling slightly at the image of her as a mother she looked up in thought before she placed the picture away for safe keeping.

Walking away from team RWBY's dorm with a sigh at Ruby's forgetfulness he turned a corner to nearly bump into a very familiar green haired girl and annoying prick.

Emerald Sustrai and Mercury Black… and Cinder Fall.

"Scuse me" Loki said with a withheld hint of aggression as he went to side step them.

"really, not even going to apologise for nearly walking into me" Emerald said as she stepped in front of him, making his eyes glow and grab a hidden wrist that was reaching into his pocket…. Where his scroll sat, staring at her wide eyes of alarm Loki let out a growl that showed his wolf side, baring his teeth that grew to canines she paled as he shoved her hand out of his pocket.

"Choose your victims properly, you may lose a hand at one point" Loki said.

"Is that a threat or a promise?" turning to Cinder Fall whose eyes glowed he scoffed at her overconfidence.

"Depends, you do something that hurts those I know…" Loki said before his eyes glowed brightly with cracks glowing around his eyes.

"I will do worse than rip off hands" with that, Loki left the trio, with Cinder glaring at him, her eye glowing with the maidens power briefly.
