At the Xiao-Long Rose Branwen household
It's been a week since Riot, Cinder, Emerald, Mercury and Neo were adopted by Taiyang and Summer. At first it was challenging because of the treatment they had at the orphanage. Which has been now shutdown thanks to a bandit tribe that raided the place mostly for its food and the leader of the bandits "accidentally" left a ton of evidence of Lady Kite's unlawful dealings.
Let's just the leader sent a text to Taiyang saying "I did it because it felt right. Not for the 5 kids, ok." Which made the man smile.
Also said man was now putting together a bunkbed for one of his kids as the other ones.
One for Ruby and Yang completed.
One for Emerald and Mercury, completed.
And the one that he's almost finished with is for Cinder and Neo.
Y/n had his own bed.
Taiyang: Annnnnnnd done!*gets up* Looks like The Fixer has done it again!
Ruby, Yang, Cinder, Emerald, Mercury and Neo had bunkbeds.
Riot had a single bed in the middle of both bunkbeds by a window.
Taiyang:*calling out* Hey guys! Beds all built!
Summer, Cinder, Y/n, Neo and Ruby came to see the bed Taiyang finished. Neo and Ruby were holding Summer's hands.
Taiyang: So? What do you think?
Summer:*smiling* It looks great.
Taiyang: YES! Four in a row and none of them broke or fell apart! I guess a job complete lemonade is in order.
Summer:*smiling* There's a glass of lemonade on the table in the kitchen.
Taiyang: Awesome! Thanks guys!
As soon as he left, Cinder and Riot mostly Riot caught the nearly falling apart bunkbed.
Summer:*loses her smile and sighs* Why must he be The Fixer when it comes to DIY stuff.
Riot: Should I fix it again?
Summer: As much as I want to say no. Please do fix it. I don't want your siblings hurt over a bed that's missing a few pieces.
Riot: Ok.
FYI, Riot was secretly fixing/rebuilding the bunkbeds.
Timeskip to five days
At a dinner party in Atlas
In a very large mansion in the Kingdom of Atlas, we see a party of some sort was going on as guests were either dancing or chatting with others as butlers and maids past around food and drinks on trays.
One the guests was Specialist James Ironwood. Second-in-command of the Atlas Military. Was somewhat enjoying the party, but in all honesty, he wanted to leave as he knows the one hosting this party is none other than Jacqass-I mean, Jacques Schnee. CEO of the Schnee Dust Company and right-wing Faunus hater.
Ironwood:*drinking wine* Uh...why did I have to come here...though I can just say I have an urgent mission. Yes, that could wo-
Before he can finish his sentence, someone tugged on the back of his sleeve jacket.
?: Um, excuse me?
Ironwood: Huh?*turns around* Good evening young miss-
Right in front of him was Winter(age: 8), Weiss(age: 5) and Whitley(age: 3). Weiss meanwhile has a red swollen mark on face indicating that she was slapped or hit there. Ironwood was a bit shocked seeing the mark.
Winter: Hello Mr. Ironwood, sir. You help people, right? Can you help us?
Ironwood: Uhm...
Weiss sniffs as a tear was threatening to come out.
Ironwood:...Let me make a call...
Winter:*smiles* Thank you.
Later at Beacon Academy
We see Professor Ozpin at his personal dorm about to make a sandwich when his scroll rings.
Ozpin: I wonder who that could be?*checks the caller ID* Specialist Ironwood? Hmm.
Ozpin:*answers the call* Ah, Specialist Ironwood. This is a surprise, what might be you calling about?
Ironwood:*on call* Hello Headmaster, listen I need a favor.
Ozpin: How big is this favor?
Ironwood:*on call*...Very, VERY big.
Ozpin: Hmmm. Do you happen to have Mr. Schnee's children with you at the moment?
Ironwood became silent after hearing that.
Ozpin: Need not to worry. As I was secretly given some documents from Mrs. Schnee. And I have the perfect new family for them.
Ironwood:*on call* Who?
Later Back at Patch
Tai: Honey, why is Qrow duct taped to the ceiling?
Summer: I don't.*snickers* I don't know.
Riot:*looking up at Qrow* Why is Uncle Qrow duct taped to the ceiling?
Summer drops the duct tape and laughs.
Tai: You know, it got me thinking.
Summer: What is it?
Tai: I'll help whoever we can, but seven kids? I'm not sure I can keep up with helping them with all of their studies and-"
Summer: Tai, sweetie, don't worry! Remember we have plenty of people that can help us. Like Raven and her tribe.
Tai: But a bit of a bad influence. Plus, she's never allowed in the kitchen again.
Summer: True. There's Glynda.
Tai: Okay. She is not good at being social. But still good.
Summer: And there's Qrow...
Tai:...
Riot: Is he that bad, good, both or Yes.
Tai & Summer: Yes.
Just then a knock came at the door.
Tai: Do you think that's Qrow?
Summer: Or Raven?
Riot: Or Mrs. Goodwitch.
Ozpin:*behind the door* It's me. Professor Ozpin.
Tai: Ozpin? I wonder why he's here.
Summer:*mumbles* I hope it's not another mission.*out loud* Say, Riot. Want to make cookies?*feels skirt being tugged* Yes Neo, you can help.
Riot: I don't mind making cookies.*holds Neo's hand* Come along Neo.
As the three went to the kitchen. Tai went to the door to answer.
Tai:*opening the door* Heya Professor Oz-oh boy.
Ozpin: Good evening Mr. Xiao-Long, is Summer here?
Tai:*wants to melt* Hooooneeyyy...?
Summer:*from the kitchen and singing* In the kitchen sweetie!
*glass breaking noise*
Tai: She's busy.
Ozpin: I see. Well, I am happy to inform that you're going to be the new father of these three children.
Tai: I'm sorry, what?
Ozpin: The three children are named, Winter, Weiss and Whitley. Their last names were Schnee.
Tai:...Did you say Schnee?"
Winter: Did the hair not give it away, Sir?
Tai: I mean...
Summer then comes from the kitchen to see what's going on with Ozpin and her husband.
Summer: Tai, I got Riot watching and baking with Neo helping him. What's going-*sees the kids* Aww! Aren't three adorable! Who they?
Ozpin: Well, you see.
[Two minutes later]
Ozpin: And that's everything.
Summer: Weiss, Winter, and little Whitley! Oh, I know our kids are going to just love you!
Weiss:*nervous* Kids?
Summer: Yes! There's Riot, the oldest. Cinder, Emerald, Mercury, Yang, Ruby and Neo.
Winter:*surprised* That's a lot.
Ozpin: So, you two adopted?
Summer: Yep!
Tai: Uhm...Can I ask why? Mostly the "being the new parents for these three kids" thing.
Ozpin: "There's. . . Going to be some turbulence in Atlas, specifically in regard to the Schnee family."
Weiss: It's our parents, they...Uhm...
Winter: Our Mother going to kick our so-called Father's butt, I almost wish I was there to see it.
Summer: Yes, she will. Also, you don't have to address us as sir or madam anymore. It is going to mom or dad.
Whitley: Papa? Mama?
Summer:*heart strings being pulled* Yes. Mama and Papa.
Tai: Hey, so in case someone find them or we just need the extra help?
Ozpin: Qrow, Glynda and Raven are already on their way.
Tai: Ah.
Ozpin: Well then. I will leave you all too it.
Winter: Thank you Mrs. Rose-I mean. Mother, for this...I know our old family has a reputation, but we really don't have anywhere else to go...
Whitley: Thank you.
Weiss: We are so sorry for having to intrude.
Summer: Oh no need to act like that. Everyone needs help sometimes. I just hope my hospitality and motherly care can be up to Schnee standards! Now, it's time to get washed up. My son is baking cookies.
Tai:*closes the door* If I may ask, how old are each of you?
Winter: I'm eight. Weiss's is five. And Whitley is three.
Riot:*coming out of the kitchen with Neo holding his hand* Cookies are in the oven now.*looks at the three as Neo quickly hides behind his back* Who are they?
Tai:*smiles* Your new siblings. Riot, Neo. Meet Winter, Weiss and Whitley.
Riot and Neo looks at them as they looked back at them.
Riot:*offers a hand to Winter* Hello, I'm Riot. And I'm eight years old.
Winter:*takes his hand and shakes it* Hello Riot, I'm Winter. And I'm also eight years old.
Summer:*looks at their documents and records* Huh? I guess Riot is still the oldest. Winter you're younger than a few months from him.
Whitley: Big brother.
Meanwhile back in Atlas
Jacques, storming into his office: Where are they!?
Willow, sitting in his chair: Is it too late to play dumb? I think it might be fun to annoy you with that.
Jacques: Don't play any game with me woman! You have stolen away my children! I will not stand for this!
Willow: I do not care.
Jacques, raising his hand: If you think you can get away with-
A blue glow lights up the room, a spinning glyph appears on the desk between them.
Willow: I think I can, just like I know I can make sure you. Will. Never. Hit. Me. Again."
Jacques:*putting his arm down but rage still in his eyes* I never needed to best you physically. My lawyers will make sure-
Willow: Will have so much to do defending your actions, you vile man. Just the domestic abuse can take you down, but we know you have done far more than that.
Jacques: Ha. You have no-
Willow clicks her scroll and points to a corner of the room where the faintest red light now blinks.
Jacques:...
Willow: Oh, but I do. And you can't threaten me with what would happen to my children now. Oh wait? I put them up for adoption so they can have a better life than this one.
Jacques: ... You will pay for this.
Willow: No, I will not. But you will, for all you've done to me and my family. Now, go to hell Jack. Or if you would like to try and hit me again, I'll be more than happy to send you there myself.
Jacques doesn't say anything as he walks away in rage. As Willow leans back in the chair thinking about what she did for her children.
Willow: I hope wherever you three are.*let's out a single tear* I pray to Oum that your new parents take great care of you.
