'Five years in hell forged me into a weapon, which I use to honor a vow I made to my mother, who sacrificed her life for mine. In her final moments, she told me the truth... that our family's wealth had been built on the suffering of others. That she failed it and it was up to me to right her wrongs. But to do that without endangering the people closest to me, I have to be someone else, I have to be something else.'
Weiss stood in her base, gearing up. She zipped up her green suit an attached a series of throwing darts to the sides. After attaching her quiver, she grabbed her green domino mask out of its box and put it on, concealing her identity.
Later that night Weiss stood on top of a helipad, as a team of security guards escorted a man across the building. The man was a corrupt business man who took lien from pensioners, he was Weiss' target.
"Who is that?" One of them shouted.
"Where'd she come from?" Another asked. As they ran up to her Weiss punched the first man with her bow before kneeing him in the stomach and throwing him aside. Another three men ran up to her and began to attack. She dodged out of the way of one man's punch and kicked him in the face. A second man went to punch her but she grabbed his arm and got him into an arm lock. Spinning around she threw the man into an oncoming attacker, sending them both to the ground. She fired two arrows, taking out the remaining two guards.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, please wait," the man begged as Weiss raced up to him. Weiss grabbed him by his suit jacket and effortlessly chucked him on top of an air conditioning unit. After slamming her foot into the grate that covered the fan she grabbed the man by the hair and held his face inches away from the spinning blades.
"No! No, please!" He wailed.
"Marcus Redman, you have failed this kingdom. Scroll, inside pocket, call your partner and tell him to give those pensioners back their lien," She ordered.
"Okay, okay I'll do it, just please don't kill me!" Weiss through the man off the conditioning unit and began to walk away.
"Don't make me come back, because next time I won't be so merciful."
SCHNEE MANSION
"Do you have any questions about today?" Jacques asked his daughter as the family gathered in the living room. "A simple proof of life declaration. Just read out a brief, prepared statement to the judge, and then your death-in-absentia judgement will be voided."
"Sounds relatively straight forward. Besides, this isn't my first time in a court room."
"Ah yes, your little incident with that Faunus employee. What happened again? Oh that's right a group of Faunus were protesting for equal pay as humans one of them through a tomato at you," Whitley recalled with a smirk. "I will admit, it was quite entertaining to see you punch him."
"Yes, thank you for the reminder." Weiss starred her brother down in annoyance.
"It's my pleasure sister." Much to Weiss' surprise Winter entered the room, dressed ready for court.
"Winter, you know you don't have to be here for this, I'd be fine if you went back to the military."
"Not to worry Weiss, I spoke to my superiors and they've granted me extended leave to be with you. Besides, my little sisters getting brought back from the dead, I wouldn't miss this for the world."
"The cars ready," Yang announced as she entered the room. As she entered Weiss noticed a black ribbon wrapped around Yang's wrist.
"Thank you Ms. Xiao Long." Jacques replied as he lead the family out.
When they arrived at the court house they were forced to push through the swarm of news reporters and paparazzi, each one trying to get a quote out of Weiss and her family. Eventually they made it through the crowd and entered the courtroom.
"There was a storm, the boat went down… I was the only survivor," Weiss recounted the events that happened that dreadful night to the judge. "My mother didn't make it. I almost died, I… thought that I had, because I spent so many days on that life raft before I saw the island. When I reached it, I knew, I knew I was gonna have to live for both of us. And in those five years, it was that one thought that kept me going." A moment of silence passed as everyone took in her devastating story. Eventually Weiss' attorney stood up and spoke to the judge.
"Your Honor, we move to vitiate the death-in-absentia filed after Weiss' disappearance at sea aboard the Schnee's Gambit five years ago. Unfortunately, we will not be requesting that the declaration of death filed for the petitioner's mother be rescinded."
Weiss looked back her family and saw their grave faces looking back at her.
Once all the appropriate forms had been signed, Weiss had been brought back to life, legally speaking and as she headed out of the courtroom she was surprised by how emotionally intense it had been.
"Now to the offices, everyone's excited to see you," Jacques began.
"Father, that was more emotional for me then I expected," Weiss interrupted. "I was hoping we could save the offices for tomorrow, please," she requested.
"Of course, take as much time as you need," Jacques responded.
"Why don't you two go in a separate care. Weiss and I will go with Yang," Winter decided, noticing the distant look on Weiss' face.
"Very well," Their father allowed as he and Whitley left the two sisters alone.
"Thank you," Weiss thanked her older sister. As they left Weiss ran into a man, accidentally knocking his cup of coffee over his shirt.
"I am so sorry," she immediately apologized. The man, had short black hair and features Weiss found surprisingly familiar. Weiss handed him a handkerchief as he began to wipe away the coffee stains.
"God damn, I have to go to court in five minutes!" He exclaimed.
"I'm so sorry," she apologized again. "My name is Weiss Schnee, I'll happily pay for a new shirt…"
"It's mine. We have to go," The man walked off leading the young woman beside him.
As they exited the courtroom they discovered Martin Summers, a business man accused of murder, bribery and much, much more. He told the press that he was innocent of any crime he was being charged with but Weiss knew better. He was on the list.
Not long after that Mr. Sommers found himself in the courtroom, up against the man Weiss had spilt coffee on, who was representing the young woman he was with earlier. They were fighting against the claims that Martin had the women's father, Victor Nocenti, killed.
"How much is a life worth?" The man asked the crowd. "A life of a man, a good man, a stevedore on the docks of the kingdom in which we live. The plaintiff will prove by a preponderance of evidence that Victor Nocenti learned that his boss, that man, sitting there, Martin Somers, was taking bribes from the White Fang to smuggle known terrorists into the kingdom. When Victor threatened to tell the police Martin Somers had him killed. Mr. Somers is very well-connected and has friends in the District Attorney's office. Which is why if Emily Nocenti is to get justice for her father's death if Somers is to get justice for his crimes then someone is gonna have to do it for them."
ABANDONED SCHNEE DUST COMPANY FACTORY
Weiss attached a rope to the ceiling of the factory and proceeded to climb up it, using nothing but her upper body strength. Once completing the climb, she jumped down and grabbed two metal poles, swinging them at targets across the room.
'Martin Somers. It's no surprise that his name is on my mother's list. The city's police and DA can't stop him, or won't. The attorney representing Victor Nocenti's daughter, Lucas Burns, like his father, is one of the few good law enforcers in this kingdom. He thinks he's the only one who can bring Sommers to justice. He's wrong.'
In the dead of night, Martin Sommers stormed into one of his warehouses along the docks. There he met a man in a black suit and shaved grey hair.
"You, listen up.," he barked. "The longer this goes on, the more the media is gonna crucify me.
You shut this trial down, understand me?"
"Yes, sir," the man replied. The warehouse was suddenly plunged into darkness and the sound of arrows being shot filled the air. As the lights flickered back on Martin discovered all three of the men with him were now on the ground unconscious. He only had a moment to process this before a force from behind knocked him out.
Martin woke up, swinging upside down from a crane. In front of him stood the hooded vigilante aiming a bow and arrow at him.
"Martin Sommers, you have failed this city," Weiss announced as she fired the arrow, missing Martin's face by inches.
"You're gonna confess to having Victor Nocenti killed!" she ordered. "There won't be a second warning." She fired another arrow, this time it slashed his cheek as it flew past. Martin grabbed his face in pain, screaming at the top of his lungs. When he opened his eyes the vigilante was gone.
SCHNEE MANSION
In Jacques Schnee's office, he was having a very heated conversation with Yang over the protection of his daughter.
"I may not be a professional body guard but it seems to me that the first requirement would be managing to stay next to the person you're hired to protect.
"All due respect sir, I've never had a client who didn't want my protection."
"I hired you. That makes me the client. Now where do you think my daughter is going on these chaperone-less excursions?"
"Sir, I truly do not know."
"And she truly doesn't," Weiss added as she entered the room.
"Then perhaps you'd like to share with me where it is you run off to?" Jacques demanded.
"Father I apologise for running of without a word, it's just… I've been alone for five years, alone. And then to come back and have all this attention, so many people around me, I often find it overwhelming. Sometimes it becomes too much to handle and I just need to get away from it all."
"I understand, but still I'd prefer if you took Ms. Xiao Long with you. It's not safe, you've already been abducted once. There is a maniac out there, hunting the wealthy."
"That maniac saved my life."
"This isn't a game. I lost you once and I am not going through that again."
"Okay," Weiss conceded. "I'll stay with Yang." Yang and Weiss left the office allowing to Jacques to go back to business.
"Sorry to give you so much grief," Weiss apologised.
"I spent four years training at Beacon, Ms. Schnee. You don't even come close to my definition of grief. But I tell you what, you ditch me one more time, no one will have to fire me," she warned.
SOMMERS WAREHOUSE
Detective Burns and his partner Detective Heyman were discussing a phone call they'd received from one of Sommer's men, with the Mr. Sommers himself.
"Well, I owe you an apology, Mr. Somers. We come all the way down to your docks and turns out you don't need the police."
"Which is exactly what I've been saying."
"So I guess that call we got last night from your stevedore saying you were attacked by a lady in a hood and a bow and arrow was what, a practical joke?" He paused as he noticed a slit in Martin's desk were something had been wedged into.
"These guys like to fool around," Martin replied calmly.
"Yeah. You know, I'd be very inclined to believe an honest upstanding businessman, like yourself, except Well, one of my men found this at your docks." Heyman handed him a bag with an arrow in it. Burns grabbed the arrow and walked back over to the desk. "You see, there's this vigilante running around. He thinks he's some kind of Robin Hood, robbing the rich, trying to teach them a lesson, I guess, I don't, I don't know. But the point is, the lady is a killer. And nothing and no one is gonna stop me from bringing him down. But like you said," Burns paused as he put the arrow in the slit on Martin's desk, perfectly sliding it into the hole. "Huh. Clearly nothing happened here last night."
"Isn't this a conflict of interest, Detective?" Martin queried. "After all, your son is suing me."
"I'm good at keeping my emotions in check."
"I'm not. You and your son don't wanna find out what I'm capable of when I get emotional." Martin stood up, stressing what he meant. Burns scoffed at him before turning and leaving.
SCHNEE DUST COMPANY
The elevator doors opened and out walked Weiss, Jacques, Whitley and Yang.
"As you can see, we've made sure to keep up to date with all the latest technology, making the Schnee Dust Company the leading dust corporation in Remnant," Jacques stated proudly. Weiss looked around fondly, recalling her visits as a young girl.
"Would you give us a moment," Jacques requested as they reached his office. Whitley and Yang remained outside while Weiss and her father entered.
"Weiss, there is something I'd like to discuss with you. In a few days we will be breaking ground on a new site and we are going to honour your mother by dedicating the building in her name," He revealed. "And I'd like to make an announcement at the dedication. That you will be taking a leadership position in the company." Weiss' eyes went wide in shock.
"You can't be serious?"
"No, you're company. Don't tell me you still have that huntress fantasy stuck in your head?"
"No, of course not, but that doesn't mean I want to work here either. I don't want to lead anything. Besides, you're doing a good job as it is."
"Weiss, everyone understands that this transition is extremely difficult for you."
"I appreciate that. However, which part do you refer to? Everyone fantasizing that I got my MBA while I was on the island or the fact that I was ever capable of running a business?"
"This is your legacy…"
"No it's not!" She cried. "Why do you do this? Why, even after all this time, are you forcing me to be someone I'm not!" With that Weiss stormed out of the office. Yang hesitantly followed, not letting her get away again.
As they left Yang and Weiss were swarmed by paparazzi, flashing their cameras at the heiress and seeking any scrap of information they could use. Yang pushed passed them and lead Weiss to the car. Weiss and Yang climbed into the back seat of the car and the driver took off down the street. "In my last year at Beacon, I went on some… less then favourable missions. Some of the things I saw, they didn't need to be seen by anyone." Yang explained. "When I returned home, everyone was trying to get me. Get me to open up, be somebody I wasn't sure I was anymore. I understand what you're going through." She looked up at Weiss who starred out the window beside her. "Or I could be wrong. Maybe after five years alone, you're not as messed up in the head as you have every right to be." All that it may not have seemed like it, Weiss listened closely, taking note of what Yang was saying.
FIVE YEARS AGO
Weiss awoke with a jolt. She looked around in horror and had to remind herself she was on a beach. The squawking of seagulls flooded the air and as she looked around she discovered a flock of them swooping her mother's corpse, still lying in the life raft.
"Hey! Hey, get away!" Weiss cried as she ran over to the raft, shooing the flying rats away. "Mom!" Weiss activated her semblance and created a glyph abover her, shielding them from the birds. However, after only a few seconds, the glyph flickered momentarily before disappearing completely. Weiss desperately tried to reactivate her semblance but her aura was drained due to her sever physical and mental exhaustion. Using all the strength she had, Weiss picked her mother's lifeless body up over her shoulders and began to carry her across the beach.
PRESENT
Lucas Burns sat with his client, and explained to her the details of their case against Martin Sommers, when his father Detective Michael Burns and four other police officers marched into the room.
"What's going on?" Lucas demanded.
"You two are getting police protection," Burns revealed. "Get used to their faces, they're going with you everywhere. No arguments."
"I'm a lawyer, I live to argue," Lucas protested.
"I'm your father, I live to keep you safe," Michael retorted.
"Protective custody? I seem to recall you trying that when I started sneaking out of the house as a teenager. It didn't work then, either."
"This isn't a joke, Lucas. Martin Somers got attacked last night.
"What? By who?"
"Doesn't matter. You have whipped up a storm with these guys and until the dust settles, you will be protected. End of discussion."
"That might've worked when I was eight but it's not gonna work anymore."
"I said end of discussion, this is me doing my job mine. Not just as a father, but as a cop. These people are more dangerous than you are willing to admit. And you've made them angry." Burns stormed out, leaving the officers to guard a furious Lucas.
SOMMERS DOCKS
A Faunus man with red hair and a long sword attached at his hip approached Martin. He wore a black suit and a white Grimm mask on his face.
"Thanks you for coming," Martin thanked the man.
"You're an important part of our plan. Of course we'll see you. What is it?" The man replied.
"This vigilante, she's coming for me. You need to take her seriously. She is a bigger threat to your operation then Nocenti ever was."
"Except now it's Nocenti's daughter that is the problem now and unlike your friend in the hood, we know where to find her."
"Don't be an idiot," Martin snapped. "You kill Emily Nocenti and Lucas Burns will never let this go. He won't stop till he burns you, me and the entire White Fang to the ground."
"Then we kill Mr Burns," Adam Torres decided.
SCHNEE MANSION
Weiss stood in her room, getting dressed for her day. As someone knocked on her door she quickly chucked her shirt on, and grabbed a brown leather jacket, concealing her scars.
"Come in," She allowed and the door was opened revealing Whitley. As he entered, Whitley looked at her in surprise.
"Sister, what are you wearing?" he asked. Weiss looked down at herself and smiled. She wore a pair of jeans, a white t-shirt and a black leather jacket over it.
"I was on an island for five years. After all that time, being well dressed is not something I care about," she explained. "What can I do for you?"
"Whitney Roolian is at the front door, he wishes to speak to you." Weiss, remembered the young man she danced with at her welcome home party.
"Tell him I'm not here," Weiss replied.
"Are you sure?" Whitley asked as Weiss walked over to the window. "He seemed very eager to see you. I think he might be here to ask you on a date."
"Well I'm not interested in seeing him. Besides, dating him would be exactly what father would want." She opened the window and began to climb out.
"What are you doing?" He wandered.
"Going out," she replied as, to Whitley's amazement, she jumped from the window. Whitley raced to window and looked out just in time to see Weiss create a glyph halfway down the mansion. She rolled off of the glyph and fell the rest of the way down. She snuck around the side of the house and after making sure no one was around she jumped into the car where Yang waited for her and they drove off.
Lucas Burns sat on his coach going over the case files when there was a knock on his door. Cautiously he approached it, not taking any chances. As he peered through the peephole he was stunned by who he saw behind the door. He opened it revealing Weiss, smiling awkwardly at him.
"Ms Schnee, what are you doing here?"
"I felt bad about ruining your shirt the other day, especially when you had a case to present. I was hoping to make it up to you by taking you to lunch," she proposed. Lucas looked at her in disbelief.
"You want to take me to lunch?"
"Yes. It would make me feel so much better."
"And you just happen to know where I live."
"I'm a billionaire," she replied with a smile. Thumping could be heard down the hall and Lucas looked over nervously. "Are you alright?" She asked. "I noticed two police cars outside."
"I'm fine. You should come inside," He insisted.
"Can I get you anything?" Lucas asked as he lead Weiss to the living room.
"The idea was for me to get you something," Weiss replied.
"Yeah sorry about that. It's just this damn case has got me in hot water. Now my dad's got me on police protection."
"Your dad, Detective Burns?"
"Yeah, you know him?"
"Indeed and he does not like me."
"Well it's not personnel. He doesn't like your whole family." There was a moment of awkward silence before the two began to laugh. "I'm sorry, that was rude, he can be a bit crude, but he's a good man."
"I'm sure he is and just so you know I'm not my father." They sat down on the couch opposite each other.
"Out of all the people in the Kingdom, you wanted to spend the day with me, some middle class attorney you don't even know?"
"If I'm being honest that's exactly why I wanted to see you," Weiss replied honestly. "Everyone I used to know expects me to be the same person I was when I left. But the truth is, that's not possible after what I went through, I can't be the same person. I thought, that if I was with you I could be me, not the me everyone thinks I am but the me I want to be." Lucas listened closely, shocked by her honesty.
"Well, I'm happy to help you. Besides helping people is kind of my job."
"Please don't tell me I have to pay you to be my friend?" She joked.
"It's not like you couldn't afford it."
"Imagine trying to explain that to my father. He would be furious," She laughed. Lucas let out a laugh, for some reason seeing Weiss laugh made him feel good inside.
"Do you want anything to drink?" He asked as he stood up and walked into the kitchen. "Now that I think about it all I've got is beer. That's not really something an heiress would drink is it?"
"A beer would be fine," Weiss replied, shocking Lucas.
The two drank and began to talk and get to know one another. "My father wants me to join the company. Take my rightful place," Weiss revealed.
"And do you want to work for your father?"
"Absolutely not!" She exclaimed. "After five years, I have plans, things I have to do. I can't do those things if I'm attending board meetings and stockholder briefings"
"Weiss, I may just be some regular guy but what I do know is that you're an adult and adults can say no."
"Oh, I tried. It ended in an argument."
"Well then don't tell him, instead show him. Be the person you want him to see you as. Trust me, I have plenty of experience with disapproving parents."
A thud came from outside the apartment.
"Did you hear that?" Weiss asked.
"What?" Weiss slowly stood up from the coach and grabbed a knife off of the coffee table.
"There's someone on the fire escape," She explained. "Come on!" She shouted as she grabbed Lucas' hand and pulled him towards the door. Just as they were about to reach it, the front door was smashed open and two armed men barged in. They began running back through the apartment when a third man jumped in through a window, followed my Adam Torres. They spun around and discovered a man aiming a gun right behind them. Just as he was about to fire an explosion filled the air and the man as sent flying. Yang ran into the room and fired her gauntlets at the attackers. She took care of them all except Adam, who lunged at her with his sword. However, Weiss threw the knife she held and knocked the sword out of his hand. Adam dove the side and sprinted out of the apartment.
"Are you hurt Ms. Schnee!" Yang shouted.
"No, we're fine," Weiss replied.
"This is why it's a good idea to have a body guard."
Half an hour later Lucas' apartment was swarming with police, taking away the attackers and searching for evidence. Detective Burns burst into the room and ran up to his son. As the two hugged Burns asked, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Lucas replied. "What about those cops you put on me?" Burns shook his head solemnly.
"I went outside to ask for a light and they were both dead in the squad car," Yang chimed in. Burns walked past his son and up to the body guard.
"Ms. Xiao Long, thank you. Feel free to run as many red lights in the kingdom as you want."
"I might have to take you up on that, but I was just doing my job."
"No, your job is to protect her," He spat looking at Weiss.
"Why are you even here?" He demanded, marching up to Weiss.
"Look, I don't know what problems you have with my family but I'm not like them," She claimed.
"Yeah and a Grimm can be friendly."
After taking their statements Yang and Weiss were allowed to leave. They drove home with Weiss sitting in the back and Yang driving.
"I'd say thank you but I don't think that'd cover it."
"Like I told your cop buddy, I was just doing my job. Besides, I think it should be you that I'm thanking." Weiss looked at her in confusion.
"What for?"
"The knife. If you hadn't thrown it, I could've lost an arm."
"Oh that, I guess I just got lucky."
"That was a kitchen knife. It wasn't even waited properly, yet you threw it with accuracy across a ten-foot room."
"Well then I got very lucky."
"I'm not the kind of woman you want to take for a fool, Ms Schnee. And I think I'm just beginning to understand the kind of woman you are."
"Well, currently I'm a woman who's very, very tired. So if you could please take me home," Weiss instructed.
Later that night, whilst everyone thought Weiss was sound asleep in her room she was suiting up for another night of vigilantism.
'I wanted to give Martin Sommers a chance to confess and face a court's justice, but he chose to go after a friend of mine instead. He's still going to face justice. It'll just be a different kind."
SOMMERS DOCKS
Martin desperately stashed stacks of lien into a briefcase.
"That White Fang freak screwed up the hit on Burns. Now the White Fang is gonna erase every ounce of evidence of their smuggling operation. Including me. Except that's not gonna happen. Tell Wallace to get the boat ready, I'm leaving tonight," He ordered as he finished stacking his briefcase. His security guard reached up and activated his walkie talkie.
"Wallace?" He paused, waiting for Wallace to respond. "Wallace, you copy? Wallace?" He tried when Wallace didn't reply.
"Wallace isn't here, but I am," Came a female voice over the talkie. A voice Martin had become to familiar with.
"We need to move!" Martin shouted as he raced for the door.
"Sir, we have six men out there," The guard protested.
"That's not enough now move!"
BURNS APARTMENT
The detective and his son argued over whether or not he should drop the case when a call came over his scroll.
"What?" The detective demanded.
"Sir, we got a report from the wharf site, Somer's imports," The man on the other phone revealed.
"I'll be right there," Burns replied. "I gotta go," he blurted out as he headed for the door.
SOMMERS DOCKS
Martin's men fired wildly at the vigilante, but it did nothing to stop her from taking them out. Soon enough they were all unconscious with arrows sticking out of them. As Weiss ran to the edge of a shipping crate she stood on, she noticed Sommers running in the distance. Immediately she jumped off of the crate and chased after him.
As Sommer's ran by a large wooden crate an arrow flew past him going threw his jacket and landing in the crate, pinning him to it.
"Oh God, Oh God, Oh God!" He wailed.
"He can't help you!" Weiss shouted angrily as she drew another arrow and fired it. The second landed right beside his head. "I want the truth about Victor Nocenti," She demanded.
"I can't. The White Fang will kill me," He begged.
"The Fangs not your concern right now." She fired a third arrow, this one landing in between his legs.
"All right, all right, all right. It wasn't me that killed him, it was the Fang," He admitted.
"Acting on whose instructions?" Weiss demanded. When Martin didn't reply Weiss fired another arrow this one grazing his arm.
"All right, all right. It was mine, it was mine. Nocenti said he was gonna testify against me." Weiss spun around when she noticed Martin look behind her.
"Move away from him!" Adam Torres ordered.
"Make me," Weiss replied. Adam drew his sword and the two began to fight. They delivered, deadly blow after blow, swinging their weapons around at shockingly fast speeds. As the fight went on Adam kicked Weiss to the ground and just as he was about to strike a voice filled the air.
"This is the police. Drop you weapons," The voice ordered over a megaphone. Adam left Weiss were she laid and sprinted away, making his escape. Weiss also made her escape, going a different route then Adam. She climbed up a shipping container and just as she jumped off Detective Burns came around the corner and held a gun up to her.
"Freeze!" He ordered. "You twitch and you're dead." Slowly and cautiously he began to approach the hooded woman. "Bow down, hands up," He ordered. Weiss began to raise her hands when she grabbed a dart from her jacket and threw it at Burns. The dart knocked the gun out his hands and wedged itself into the shipping crate behind him. With no one stopping her Weiss made her escape.
As he looked around Burns noticed the dart she threw flashing. He walked up to it and pressed a button on its side. Burns was shocked to hear a recording of Sommers' confession.
FIVER YEARS AGO
Weiss placed the final rock over her mother, finishing her grave. As she placed a hand on top of it she began to cry softly. Suddenly, an arrow pierced her shoulder and she screamed in pain. She tried to use her aura but was too exhausted to even protect herself. She fell to the ground and just before her vision went black she saw a man in a green hood and a bow and arrow in the distance.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Although I think it's obvious I will just mention that the events that happen in RWBY haven't happened in this version. Also, I know it's still following Arrow closely but I'm just doing that to set up the characters. That'll change in one or two more chapters. Another thing I wanted to mention was just because some RWBY characters are characters from Arrow, that doesn't mean they'll end up the same way. For example, just because Yang has taken the place of Diggle that doesn't necessarily mean she will definitely become Spartan in the future. Hope everyone enjoyed.
