"There you are." Qrow paused before sitting next to his sister. She didn't even glance at him, instead just staring at the sky. "You were just wanting me to find you huh? You didn't go very far, just far enough for the others to not find you." He paused again, letting her have a chance to answer.

She didn't.

"….What, are you just not gonna talk? Because I feel like we should have a talk."

"….It's nothing Qrow. Just drop it."

"It didn't look like nothing back there." He scowled. "Don't give me that look, you can't just snap at my partner like that and run off without explaining."

"You know very well why." She finally glanced at him, if only to glare.

"I only have an idea." He corrected, and Raven looked away again. Silence again. "…Is it about the tribe?"

"Qrow everything's about the tribe. It's out home."

Is it really? Qrow wanted to say that out loud, but he didn't want that argument with his sister right now, nor was it needed. Instead, he thought it over before replying. "You knew it was going to be like this here. A four-man team with a team leader."

"Of course I knew that!" Raven snapped. "I was prepared for this mission. I bet you didn't even research like you were supposed to."

"Hey, that's what I got you for." Qrow said, giving his sister a smirk before sighing and leaning back on his hands. "So…what? Did you expect to be team leader?"

"No. And I never wanted to be team leader." She said, frustrated, glaring at her brother. "The problem, if you really must know, is that I am not following the lead of someone so unfit to be leader!"

Qrow paused before nodding his head. Ok, yeah. That made sense, from Raven's point of view. But still, it seemed to be an overreaction.

"You saw how she fought yesterday with us," He said, trying to use a tone that wouldn't send his sister into a rage. It was a difficult thing for him to do, as he had spent his life up to that point trying to drive Raven up the walls. "She's not weak."

"Yeah she's strong. I figured that, even without the battle yesterday. She made it into Beacon," Raven said, looking at the tree line. "But that doesn't mean she can lead. You saw her confidence back there. If that's how she is with me snapping at her than she wouldn't be better on the battlefield."

Qrow sighed and laid back, watching the clouds go by. Silence washed over them, as Raven clearly had no intention of continuing the argument if she could help it.

"Maybe she's right." Summer sighed and lowered her head, letting her hood cover more of her face. Taiyang could only see her mouth down now. He frowned, a little angry at his partner for causing this and a little angry at Qrow for not letting him help. Well, he could help here.

"Like hell she was." He said, stepping in front of her so she could at least see his feet from under her hood. "I just think she doesn't like authority. She probably would have been pissed if any of us were made team leader."

"But…" Summer paused, and looked up a little, letting him see the shadow of a silver eye. "I don't want to let anyone down-"

"And you won't!" Tai said, moving his hands quickly as he got worked up. "You were great yesterday during the battle! You'll do great!"

"Indeed you will Miss Rose."

The two students looked over, startled, at the sudden Professor walking up.

"Professor Ren…" Summer muttered, letting her hood fall a bit more to actually look at the professor.

"Are you doubting Headmistress Nikos Miss Rose?" Ren asked, seeming almost amused. Summer quickly shook her head.

"O-Of course not!"

"To be a leader is a great responsibility and the Headmistress thinks you would do the best at it." He said. "So no doubt that you will do great things- that your whole team will do great things."

"…." Summer was quiet for a moment before smiling at him. "Thank you Professor Ren."

Tai smiled, happy to see Summer happier. Ren said, "It's really nothing Miss Rose.", before walking away.

There would be no use in arguing with her, Qrow decided, sitting back up. Raven was stubborn, and while he was also stubborn, he didn't have time for that right now. The next class was in thirty minutes and wanted to trick the teachers into thinking he was actually a good student for a few days.

"Ok, how about a deal then." He said, looking at his sister. She didn't even glance at him. "If you treat her as leader until the end of the semester, and she'll show you that she deserves to be leader."

He hoped. He was almost sure that Summer would, but if he was wrong and Raven won… well, he wasn't sure what would happen, but Raven would make it bad.

"…And if she doesn't?" Raven asked, looking at him out of the corner of her eye. "What do I win?"

Qrow hummed, looking up at the sky before smirking at her. "I'll do your homework for a week!"

"Like hell I would let you near my grades."

"Ok, fair. Then I'll do your sword maintenance for a month."

"I am not letting you near my sword. You'll just turn her into a monstrosity like yours."

"Hey! Don't dis my sword! And plenty of weapons are also a gun!"

"But not also a scythe!" Raven countered, fighting not to laugh. "And I bet you want to make it other weapons too!"

"It couldn't hurt." He said, smiling, before getting up and holding out his hand. "WE have a deal."

Raven paused, looking at his hand, before sighing and taking it, letting him pull her up. "Deal. I'll think of your punishment later."

"Yeah yeah." Qrow rolled his eyes. "Are you ready to go? We have class."

"Yeah yeah." She said, copying his tone as they walked to the edge of the headmistress's tower and let their selves fall off.

"Hey, Professor?"

Ren glanced over, stopping his walk to his next class. "Yes Miss Goodwitch?" He asked, looking at her, before looking at her teammates, which included a boy he didn't remember seeing in Nora's class. First day and already skipping? He better not make a habit of that.

"Are you the professor for this class?" She asked, nodding her head to the classroom door they were both about to go through.

"For combat?" He asked, even if he had not reason to. It was always good to clarify. He didn't wait for an answer though, seeing it was so obvious. "Yes I am."

Her eyebrows furrowed and Mr. Ozpin asked the next question in her stead.

"Then why were you helping teaching Professor Valkyrie's class?"

"Oh, that is quite simple." He said, smiling a little. "Nora can be a bit… over excited, and has a tendency to go off on long tangents instead of teaching. So me and Jaune… Professor Arc made sure that one of us was always free to sit in there with her and keep her on track. She's a good professor, in she can stay on topic."

"Oh…" Ms. Goodwitch muttered, adjusting her glasses. He couldn't help but feel she was judging Nora a bit to harshly in her head, but decided to leave it be. She will learn over the course of the semester.

"Inside now." He said, as he watched Team STRQ rush past him before the bell rung. "You don't want to be late."

So, I didn't spend as much time on Summer's part. Because I feel like she isn't having as Leader as hard of a time as Ruby did. She just doesn't want to let anyone down, so once Raven came back and Ren reassured her she was better.

Raven… isn't convinced, but she'll keep quiet until the end of the semester.
