...Chapter 2...
[The next day]
Team JJST (JUSTICE) is in the hospital with Snowbird the only one who woke up. Bandages covering her face and gut from broken glass piercing her skin. The 3 others are on life support. She sits by her partner Jason holding his hand and only hand as his left arm is gone. A scared Glynda Goodwitch walks up to the hospital bed holding back tears at the sight of her son like this.
Glynda gives Snowbird a hug to comfort her. Avoiding getting crushed by the inhumanly strong girl. "How is he?" Snowbird nearly breaking down on her knees. "The doctor said he'll be fine but if the airbags didn't deploy just a second later we all would have died! I'm sorry ... I'm so very sorry Miss Goodwitch!"
Glynda holds the grief stricken Frosty's hand. She also sees the bags under the young girl's eyes. "The ones who'll be sorry are the ones who caused all this! I know none of you four did anything wrong but I have a clue who did!" She says with an enraged scowl Snowbird remembers something. "Before we lost consciousness we saw the Mech that hit us was being chased by a yellow motorcycle!"
Glynda's eyes go wide with a realization. "Anything else you remember dear?"
Snowbird rubs her chin in thought. "The ones riding it had Long blond hair and the hipster motherfucker riding bitch had blue!"
Glynda grinds her teeth in rage. "Team RWBY! There are rumors going about them being vigilantes after the "shipyard incident"! If they played a hand in this then I'll make it my MISSION to have them blacklisted or thrown in jail!"
Glynda gives her comatose son a kiss on the forehead. "Jason if you can hear me please wake up! Jason's eyes slowly with a cocky grin on his face. "Consider ... it ... done!" Both Snowbird and Glynda are taken aback by this. "J-Jason?!" Both say in shocked unison. Snowbird flashes Glynda a pleased smile. "Dame Miss Goodwitch you are REALLY good at getting people to do what you want!" Glynda matter of factly says "Occupational hazard my dear." Yet her face implies she is just as shocked as Snowbird.
A loud beeping goes off as one of the heart monitors go off. Doctors and nurses rush over to the failing patient using a defibrillator on the next door patient. After several minutes without luck, the physicians give up. They call the time of death and pull the blanket over the patient's face, revealing the lifeless face of Julie Vino before it goes over.
Snowbird can only gasp in horror. "Oh my god Julie!" She utters while falling to her knees. Jason has tears running down his face. A look of pure rage flashes in his bright green eyes. "How many other people died!?"
"Thirty-four people! Thirty-Four people lost their lives on that highway, some are much younger than you four! If Team RWBY really caused this not even Ozpin will be able to protect them!" Glynda says with a furious scowl. A window behind her shatters as her eyes glow.
[One week later]
Team RWBY was in the cafeteria hanging out with Team JNPR, along with Sun and Neptune; when Glynda stormed in more furious than anyone's ever seen her before. Anyone at Beacon can tell you that when the calm and in control Glynda is visibly enraged, to stay out of her way! The deputy headmistress walks right up to Team RWBY's table. The very sight of her like this is enough to even make even the fearless Yang Xiao Long nearly piss herself in terror.
Glynda uses her semblance to lift the table up and throw it. She then lifts Team RWBY up by their clothes. "Team RWBY in my office NOW!" Ruby Rose can only whimper a submissive, "Yes ma'am!" Glynda unceremoniously drops them before putting the table back in place. "And if you're not in there in FIVE MINUTES I will find you!"
Glynda storms off just like she entered with everyone giving her a wide berth. Team RWBY not understanding why she would be so angry at them looking at each other in confusion.
A scared Ruby looks at her sister. "Yang what did you do this time!?" Yang jumps up offended she is being accused. "What makes you think I did it!?" Weiss does not waste time accusing her either. "You pull questionable stuff all the time and I'll ..." Glynda can be heard shouting, "TIK TOK!" Blake says in an almost monotone, "We better go!"
A very afraid team RWBY is right outside the office when the door slams open. The four hesitant step in. Stacks of paperwork on one side, several framed photos and even a "Remnents' best mom!" coffee mug used as a pen holster.
Glynda's voice is dripping with venomous hate. Angerly pointing at the chairs in front of her desk. "Sit down NOW!" Team RWBY takes a seat. By their timid body language, they are terrified. Weiss is the first to even try speaking. "M-Madam Goodwitch what did we even do?" Glynda grinds her teeth as she tries to regain some composer. "Where to even begin with you four!" She throws a week old newspaper in front of them. Team RWBY read it to their horror.
" 34 DEAD IN MASSIVE HIGHWAY COLLISION"
Young Ruby is even on the verge of tears. "W-We didn't know!"
Glynda punches her own desk as she yells at them. "You four caused that, didn't you!? Don't answer that I've obtained evidence the proves you were not only there but lead that Atlesian Paladin onto a crowded highway!" She shows the girls photos taken from traffic cameras.
Yang crushes the armrest of her chair. Her eyes shifting between Violet and red. "Torchwick was the one who hit those cars with that robot!" She shouts, defending herself and her team.
Blake joins in after collecting herself. "He was giving weapons to the White Fang we had to stop them!"
Glynda loses her calm attitude rising out of her seat. She even punches her desk in a fit of rage. "YOU HAD TO DO NO SUCH THING IT WAS ALREADY BEING HANDLED! Blake is taken aback by her outburst. "W-What?!"
Glynda tries regaining her calm with a deep breath. "Do you honestly think we didn't know about that meeting or the stolen Paladin prototypes?! We had planned for them to take them so we use the trackers in them to lead the Atlesian forces to their base of operations and wipe them out!"
Ruby gives her a defeated sigh. "Well, we didn't know! I'm sorry!" Glynda's eye starts to twitch. "Your students, you're not meant to know or get involved in kingdom affairs! You may be huntresses in training but not real Huntresses yet! You ruined an 8-month long operation, but That is not the only reason you four are going to be blacklisted!"
Team RWBY gasp in horror, Weiss starts screaming in panic. "BLACKLISTED!? THATS WORSE THEN EXPLOSION IT IS A DEATH SENTENCE!"
A Blacklisted Huntsman is a Huntsman who are considered so dangerous that there barred from major cities and populations and have a bounty placed on their heads. BountyHunters who specialize in hunting Blacklist down make a good living off the blood of the former Huntsman! This is a fate Huntsman and Huntress alike fear just as much as being KIA. To be hunted down and killed like the very monsters they fight.
Blake's eyes go wide with horror. "I understand we screwed up but we only tried to do the right thing!" Glynda looks her dead in the eyes with pure malice. "Yes and because you stuck your noses where they don't belong, 34 people needlessly lost their lives! Do you have any idea how many of those 34 are children, parents or both?! I guess as a former Terrorist, civilian casualties are irrelevant to you!"
Blake is frozen in fear like a deer in the headlights. That was the last straw for Yang. Who's eyes literally turn red with anger as she screams. "HOW DARE YOU TALK TO HER LIKE THAT!"
Yang enraged stands back up ready to attack before Ruby and Blake can pull her away. One of Yang's hands knocks over a photo of Jason as a newborn baby being held by Glynda. Yang picks it back up she puts two and two together! "You have a kid?!"
Glynda fixes her glasses while snatching the photo of her son out of her hands. "Yes, his name is Jason leader of Team JJST and you killed one of his teammates! Team RWBY collective hearts skip a beat. "N-no! W-we just wanted to help people!" Ruby says in shock.
"He and his team were on that highway when you lead that scumbag into their path!" She says with a tear in her eye. "Y-you crippled him! You nearly killed his entire team!"
Ruby's heart sinks into her gut. "I am sorry for what all that's worth!" Glynda takes a deep breath. "Me too Miss Rose, just so you know I take no pleasure in this!" She says in a somber tone.
Headmaster Ozpin's voice can be heard. "Maybe I should handle this Glynda?" Ozpin steps in from the doorway sipping coffee. "You're too close to this whole affair and the only way a huntsman can be Blacklisted is with unanimous consent from the council. Go be with your son and take time off!"
Glynda breaks down in tears sobbing into her desk. Team RWBY looking on really see's how much their act of failed vigilantism hurt her, the weight of their actions sinks in. "We need to make it right," they all thought.
"Headmaster Ozpin We'll take any punishment you think is fair!"
