Chapter 2
Clark found a seat towards the back of the ship and sat by himself. Soon they took off and everyone admired the amazing view. Eventually after an hour of flying Clark decided to have a walk around. As he walked down a girl with long long rabbit ears was being picked on by a boy. He was tall, well built and had short brown hair. He had a few mates with him laughing as he tripped the Faunus girl to the ground. Clark rushed in and helped her up.
"Whose this, your boyfriend?" The brown haired boy asked.
"Leave her alone," Clark responded.
"Oh yeah. Whose gonna make me?" The boy asked to Clark, clearly looking for a fight.
"Listen, I don't won't trouble, just leave us alone," Clark told him. A large crowd had formed around the arguing group. Clark signalled for the Faunis girl to follow him and began to walk away.
"Oh no your not," the boy responded before throwing a punch at the back of Clarks head. Clark quickly ducked under the punch and spun around to face the boy. "Ooooohhhhhh!" Went the crowd. The boy threw a few more punches which Clark managed to doge. The next punch he threw Clark stepped out of the way and tripped him to the floor. The crowd cheered. With that Clark lead the Faunis girl out of the crowd and back to his seat.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"I'm fine. Thank you, for that, I'm Velvet Scarlintina," she replied.
"Clark Kent," he introduced himself as he put his hand out to shake. As they did two girls came over to them. One had long yellow hair, a brown coat and purple eyes. The other was younger with silver eyes, black hair and a red hood.
"Hi I'm Yang," the yellow one told them. "An this is my sister Ruby."
"That was really cool how you stuck up to that bully," Ruby explained. "Are you okay?" She asked Velvet.
"I'm fine thanks," Velvet responded, feeling slightly embarrassed that everyone saw her bullied.
"That guys such a total jerk," Yang expressed her opinion on the brown haired boy. "So, what are your names?" She asked as she took a seat next to them.
"I'm Velvet Scarlintina."
"I'm Clark Kent." The Duo replied.
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you," Yang beamed. That sat there in awkward silence for a few moments.
"That's a cool looking weapon, what can it do?" Clark asked pointing at the contraption Ruby had attached to her back.
"Oh, it's a scythe, as well as a high impact, customisable sniper rifle," Ruby explained, extremely proud of the weapon she designed herself.
"Ah what?" Clark asked confused as to what the last part was.
"It's also a gun," Ruby summarised.
"You look rather young to be coming to Beacon," Velvet pointed out.
"Yeah I got brought up by two years. The short story is that I stopped some robbers and helped a huntress," Ruby Explained.
"Ah ha," they both replied.
"What weapon do you have Yang?" Velvet asked.
"Just these retractable exploding gauntlets," she replied acting completely relaxed about it. "What about you?"
"A dust axe," she answered.
"Oh my god, really, that's so cool!" Ruby squealed. "What about you Clark?" Ruby asked.
"Just this fire sword," Clark acted as though it was nothing as he showed the others his weapon. Professor Ozpin had sent it to him after they accepted his offer.
"That's not just a fire sword, it's the brand new limited edition model, with double fire power," Ruby squealed with delight. She loved weapons.
"Okay sis calm down. It's just a weapon," Yang attempted to control her sister.
Ruby gave Yang a look of absolute shock. "There not just weapons, there an extension of ourselves, there," Ruby began her argument but was interrupted by a voice coming over a loud speaker. A hologram of a blond haired lady appeared in the middle of the ship distracting them from the conversation they were having.
"Hello and welcome to Beacon," the hologram began.
"Whose that?" Yang asked.
"My name is Glynda Goodwhich," the hologram continued. "You are among a privileged few who have received the honour of being selected to attend this prestigious academy. Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace and as future huntsmen and huntresses it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task and now it is our turnto provide you with knowledge and the training to protect our world." With that the holhr faded away and revealed Beacon Academy. Everyone rushed rushed to the window admiring the schools beauty.
"I can't believe this is gonna be our new home," Velvit squealed with excitement unable to keep it in. The mention of home just reminded Clark of Smallville, his mum, his dad, Chloe, Lana. He sighed aloud, missing them already. They soon landed and made there way off the ship. As the doors opened a Blond haired boy ran past them covering his mouth in order to stop vomit from spilling everywhere. The boy made it to a bin just in time as vomit rushed out of his mouth. A few people began to laugh, whilst others started making comments about him.
"Eeeewwwww, vomit boy!"
"He better not come near me!"
"I would hate to be him right now." Clark froze when he heard this last comment. He knew that voice.
"Excuse me guys," Clark told the others, being polite as always. He turned around and made his way to the source of the voice he had recognised. He got through a group of people to reveal the source of the comment. Bart Allen. Clark and Bart had met nearly a year ago when Bart used his super speed to save Johnathan. Clark had got him out of trouble and taught him not to steal. Honestly Clark had missed having a super powered friend to hang around with and was both shocked and excited to see him.
"Aren't you a little young to be here?" Clark asked the 16 year old. Bart turned in the direction the voice came from a smile spreading across his face as he realised who had said it.
"Oh my god! Clark! What are you doing here?" Bart asked as the he rushed over to his friend and shook his outstretched hand.
"Professor Ozpin talked me into coming. He figured I could use my talents for a good use," Clark explained, hinting that Professor Ozpin knew about Clark's secret.
"Oh, so he knows about the super powers and all?" The young speedster asked in a low voice.
"Yeah he does," Clark confirmed. The duo began to make there way to the main entrance. "Does the Professor know about your speed?" Clark asked.
"Yeah he does. That's why I'm got brought ahead two years." Bart answered. "I really gotta thank you man. You really helped me change my ways. Since then I've stopped stealing and have been helping people as much as possible. I saved Ozpin from a group of thugs one night and he offered me a spot at his academy. I figured this was the best way to help people so I signed up."
"Well it great to see you again," Clark expressed his delight in seeing the young speedster again.
"Like wise big guy," Bart responded. They entered a massive hall, surrounded by students talking about here holidays, weapons and spreading rumours about teams. Clark noticed Ruby, Velvit and Yang standing near by.
"Hey, I'll introduce you to some friends of mine," Clark told Bart as he made his way towards the trio. "Hey guys," Clark greeted them. "This is an friend of mine, Bart. Bart this is Ruby, Velvit and Yang," he introduced.
"Anything happen whilst I was gone?" Clark asked.
"Don't even get me started!" Ruby yelled. "Velvit found an old friend of hers and went to catch up with her, Yang ditched me and went off with her friends. Next I tripped over some crabby girls luggage, then she yelled at me, then I exploded, then she yelled at me again!"
"You!" A voice yelled from behind Ruby.
"Oh no it's happening again," Ruby wailed.
"Your lucky we weren't blown off the side of the cliff!" Weiss yelled at Ruby.
"It was an accident! It was an accident!" Ruby yelled back. Clark, Velvit, Yang and Bart all watched as the two argued. Thankfully at this moment Professor Ozpin made his way onto the stage, preparing to give a speech. The crowd fell silent, awaiting the professors words.
"I'll keep this brief," he began. "You've travelled here today in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you finish you plan to dedicate your lives to the protection of the people. But all I see amongst you is wasted potential in need of purpose, direction. Knowledge can only travel you so far. You must make the first step," with this said he walked off the stage.
That night they were sleeping in the ball room anticipating tomorrow's events. Bart and Clark had found a spot near the window and were sharing stories about what had happened to each other since they last met.
"There is no way you ran there in three seconds," Clark exclaimed his disbelief in Bart. Luckily no one was nearby and as long as they spoke in low voices they could talk openly about there powers.
"Not a word of a lie," Bart promised.
"It's been good seeing you again Bart," Clark confessed.
"You to man," Bart replied. Both enjoyed each other's company not just because of their character but because they to had powers. "So, how are your parents?" Bart asked.
"There good. Dads still on medication for his heart but overall he's doing alright," Clark explained.
"Yeah he's a strong one." The two continued to talk until they noticed Weiss an Ruby were arguing again. Both of the boys quickly stood up and made there way over to them. "What's wrong now ladies?" Bart asked. All eyes turned to him an Clark, including a girl dressed in black with bow in her hair and book in her hand.
"She," Weiss began pointing a Ruby. "Is a hazard to my health!"
"First impressions are always the worst, can't you just start anew," Clark suggested.
Both Ruby and Weiss looked at each other and in sync replied with "No!" On the heal of her foot Weiss spun around but tripped on a pillow and began to fall. Just before she hit the ground two arms wrapped around her. She could only admire how strong the arms felt as she held them for support so she could stabilise herself.
"You okay?" Clark asked.
"Y, y, yes," was Weiss mumbled. 'He's built like an ox,' Weiss thought to herself. She slowly turned around and made her way back to her bed.
"Hi, I'm Clark Kent," Clark introduced himself to the girl in black who had been spectating the events of the last few moments.
"Blake Belladonna," she replied shaking his hand. She did the same with Bart and after shaking his hand they all decided it was time for a good nights rest.
Author note: Now that introductions have been made I think some action can finally begin. Clark's made some friends, made an enemy and who would have guessed Bart Allen would be attending Beacon. Next up, Clark and his friends are literally launched into the air above a forest were all kinds of danger await.
