Chapter 33: else are we supposed

~Blake

I found the others easy enough. They were all gathered in the kitchen waiting for Bucky's newest creation of food marvel.

"Hey Blake." They all said as I walked in.

"Hey guys."

"Do you have any idea what those loud noises were? We would check them out but we are a little preoccupied at the moment." Drake asked, his mouth stuffed with food.

"Of course you're more interested in food than what's going on in the church." Sam said, rolling her eyes at her boyfriend as she picked up a piece of food herself.

"You remember that Niri person we picked up on the bounty mission?" I asked.

They all nodded.

"She attacked Soap." I responded.

Everybody in the kitchen, except BNTY, stopped moving and stared at me.

"What?" They all yelled at me in shock.

"Yeah." I confirmed.

"Why?"

"I don't know." I lied. I didn't want them to know about Soap's past quite yet.

They continued staring at me until Bucky spoke up, "You all act surprised but this really isn't that surprising. People attack him all the time; friend and foe. We've gotten used to it. Though it's still a pain in our asses considering that we usually get tasked with cleaning up."

"I think I remember Soap saying something about that before the bounty mission actually. Something about him not wanting us to go through what you guys have gone through." Yang said.

"Since I joined these guys, there have been upwards of 30 different occasions where someone has tried to kill Soap. Keep in mind that I am the newest on BNTY; so like I said, this is normal."

Ruby, Weiss, and Yang all sighed.

"You know, I'm somehow not all that surprised." Weiss said. "Especially knowing how crazy he is and what he does for a living."

Just then, I heard Sarah's voice in my head.

'Hey Blake?'

'Hey, where are you?' I asked her as I started to leave the room, or at least tried to. Sam's voice stopped to question me.

"Do you actually know what happened after Blake left?"

"Actually I do."

"Really? How? I know you weren't there. You were still up on the mountain with me."

"Sam told me about it one time."

"Why? I imagine it was just normal everyday life."

"It was, at least after Blake managed to leave the room and dodge all the questions. That's why she told me about it. She said that it was the first day they had in a long time where they weren't fighting anything or worrying in general. Another reason was the shock that she got later on that day."

"Alright, continue. You got me interested. I want to know what this shock was. Start where Blake was leaving the room."

"Alright. She said that Blake was acting a little odd, so right before Blake left the room, she asked her where she was going...

~Sam

"Where you going Blake?" I asked before she got to the door.

"I just remembered that Soap wanted me to check someplace out using the recon bullhead. Speaking of which, hey Bucky?"

"Yo, whatcha need?"

"Do you mind setting up the autopilot for me? I don't exactly know how." Blake asked, her face neutral. This was odd, usually Soap would ask Drake or myself to do something like that.

"Sure." Bucky said, putting down his apron.

"Thanks."

"Do you want one of us to come with you?" Yang asked.

"Not this time." Blake responded.

"Why not?" Ruby asked.

"He said he wanted me to go alone."

"How long will you be gone?" Weiss asked.

"No idea."

"Alright. Just be careful then Blakey."

Blake rolled her eyes at Yang's comment. "I will." She said as she turned to leave.

"Oh and Blake?"

She stopped. "Yeah?"

"When you get back you owe us an explanation." Yang said. "Starting with Soap and Sarah's full story."

Blake hesitated a moment before responding. "Are you sure? There a lot of things in their pasts even I have trouble reliving. It will be even harder for you guys."

"What do you mean relive?" Ruby asked.

Blake sighed before she quickly jotted down some coordinates on a piece of paper and handed it to Bucky. "Do you mind setting it for here?"

"Sure." Bucky replied, taking the piece of paper and leaving the room.

Blake jumped up onto the counter and began her explanation. "I can answer three questions before I have to leave. One from each of you. I'll start with Ruby's question; you wanted to know what I meant by relive, right?"

Ruby nodded her head.

"Do you remember how Soap and Sarah explained their bond to us?"

The rest of RWBY shook their heads.

"Well, as a result of how much time I've been spending with them and how much they trust me, a couple of days before the bounty mission we all subconsciously bounded with each other."

"So you can talk to them telepathically like they do?" Weiss asked.

"Yes."

"When did that start happening?"

"In the middle of the mission, right when everything was kicking off. Though I think it will be a while before I can use their semblances and they can use mine." She took a breath. "However, one of the things that I was able to do while Soap was still recovering was going through some of his memories."

"And?" Weiss asked.

"The version of his past that you know is a lot tamer than what actually happened. He kept a lot from us to protect us from the nightmares of what actually happened." Blake responded. "Yang, what's your question?"

Yang thought for a moment, "I actually have two questions, but both of them should be quick."

"That's fine." Blake responded.

"Even with all the secrecy, should we be wary of them?"

This question worried me. From what I could tell, Yang was not only putting her trust in Soap into question, but she was also questioning her trust in the rest of BNTY as well. I admit that I probably don't know Soap and Sarah as well as I should, but I still trusted them. I was curious as to how Blake would respond, since she knew the entire story.

"No. Even with all the lies, they have only done so where absolutely necessary. What's your second question?"

"What's Soap's real name and why does he hide it?"

"His real name is Chris Gunnel; he is a direct descendant of the infamous General Chris Gunnel. As for why he hides his name, you will have to ask him yourself. While I do know the reason, I am not one for speaking in his place. I have to go, I'll see you guys when I get back."

"Do you think she was telling the truth?" Yang asked Ruby and Weiss after Blake was gone.

"She was telling the truth." I confirmed.

"How could you tell?"

"The face she was making as she was starting to leave the room. It was the same that Soap and Sarah make when they are talking to each other telepathically which makes me believe that she was talking to Sarah or Soap when she started to leave."

"What do you think they were telling her to do?" Ruby asked.

"Likely what she said they were telling her to do. They were likely telling her to check something out with the recon bullhead."

"That's reassuring I guess." Yang said.

"Just try to take your mind off it until they return." I said.

"That's not exactly easy to do. Do you have any suggestions?"

"Actually, I do. Is anyone willing to take up a friendly bet with me?" I asked.

"That depends. What are we betting on?" Weiss responded.

I looked at her strangely for a moment.

"What?" She asked.

"I never imagined you to be the gambling type."

"When I was younger, my butler Klein, my brother Whitley, and I would often place bets on how long my father would be away for business trips."

"Who usually won?" I heard my goofball of a boyfriend ask.

"Actually I did. My brother usually chalked it up to a 'beginners luck'. Anyways, what are we betting on?"

"Whether or not Blake has a thing for Soap and Sarah." I said, smirking.

I heard Drake facepalm himself behind me, "You know, as much as I know you deny it, you really do take after Sarah in many ways."

"Noooooo." I responded childishly. "I just want to get back at her for all the times she's made fun of me."

I heard Drake sigh loudly.

"Wait." Weiss said. "So we're betting on weather or not Blake has a thing for Soap or Sarah, or both Soap and Sarah."

"The second one." I responded.

"OK. I get it. So you're betting on whether or not Blake is bi, and specifically if she wants to bang Soap and Sarah." I heard Ruby say.

Everybody in the room just stared at her.

"What?" She asked.

However she was met with silence.

"Ohh, I get it. You're all surprised that I know about sex aren't you."

We all nodded in agreement.

"I'm 15, turning 16 in two weeks, why is that so hard to believe?" She asked, exasperated.

Yang answered for all of us, "Because Ruby, you still believe in fairy tales."

The rest of us just nodded our heads in agreement.

While everybody else was still in shock, I saw an opportunity and took it. "Well then Ruby, since you aren't as innocent as we thought, why don't you tell us what your preference is. By the way Weiss, I'm betting for Blake being bi and liking both of them and let's say whoever loses has to do something embarrassing." (A/N)

"I'll take that bet and the consequences." Weiss said shaking my hand.

Ruby looked to be lost in thought as she thought of how to respond to my question.

"You don't have to answer the question Ruby if you don't want." Yang reassured her.

"It's fine. I don't mind telling." She said taking a breath, "I am a lesbian." She said proudly.

"I kinda figured." Yang said as Drake nodded his head in agreement. Weiss was the only one that didn't respond.

"How did you figure that out?"

Ruby's pride quickly turned to horror once she realized what Drake was asking.

"I'd rather not say since my big sis is in the room." She said, slightly panicking. "I just remembered, I need to service Crescent Rose! I still haven't since yesterday."

"You know, now that you mention it, I should probably service my weapons as well." I said, also remembering that I hadn't done so yet.

I checked the time, "We should probably do that and go to bed it's almost midnight. Thankfully we don't have anything to do for a while so we don't have to get up early."

Everybody in the room agreed. As we exited the kitchen, we split up and went to our preferred area to service our weapons.

Before Ruby and Yang split off, Yang spoke directly to Ruby, "Don't think this is over. I will have an answer as to how you figured out you like girls."

Ruby stood there not moving for a moment until I put my arm around her neck, dragging her to the garage.

"Come one Ruby. We have guns to clean."

All in all, cleaning our weapons took about an hour which was shorter that usual but that was because Ruby and I decided to not design any new attachments for our weapons tonight.

After we finished cleaning our weapons and started towards our rooms, I pulled Ruby aside. "Go on ahead Drake, I'll be there in a minute."

"Alright." Drake said, following the others.

Once everybody was gone, I quietly asked Ruby a question, "So, how did you find out that you like girls?"

Her face turned a very deep red as she proceeded to cover her face with her hands.

"Come on Ruby, tell me. I promise I won't tell anyone." I said, trying to reassure her.

"You promise?"

"Yes, I promise."

Ruby took a deep breath before responding, "Fine. I know because of two reasons. The first is because I walked in on Weiss when she was getting out of the shower, and when I did, my body felt extremely hot as I looked at her naked body before she caught me staring."

"So you like Weiss?"

Ruby nodded her head, still covering her face with her hands.

"What is the second reason?"

"Please don't tell Yang this, but a day or two following when I walked in on Weiss I looked up...things on the net and found that only pictures of girls made me feel the same way."

I smiled, "Well your secret is safe with me Ruby. Goodnight."

"Goodnight Sam."

A/N: Holy shit that took a turn I didn't expect.

Just a heads up, but the next chapter after this might be similar in that we will be following Sam around while Blake, Soap, and Sarah get their shit together. And hopefully we'll actually get to the place that I wanted to go in this chapter.

Two questions today:

1.) How did I do on writing a everyday life kind of chapter? I feel like I may have added a little too much plot to start it off, but I was working with what I had.

2.) What should the consequence be for losing the bet that Sam and Weiss are doing?

Let me know.
