Garon Schnee

Garon had spent the better part of an hour reworking the design of his scythe. At first he was mad. There was no point in Cassy going off on him like that. However, the more he thought about it the more it made sense. He went way to over board with the design. He would have to apologize to her later. Again. There was hardly a time when they got in a fight or argument where he wasn't wrong. How she managed to always be right he will never know.

Leaning back in his chair he looked towards his bed. He could really do with some sleep. Then again he was far to lazy to move from his current spot. So he stared at his bed wishing he was there instead. Then a moment past. He blinked, and he was suddenly on his bed.

Confused and disoriented Garon had no idea what had just happened. So he shot up from his bed and ran downstairs. Seeing both Ruby and Weiss he ran up to them. They instantly saw the worried look on his face.

"What's wrong Garon?" Ruby asked before Weiss got a chance.

"Um I don't know. I'm not even sure something is wrong. I'm just confused." It was evident in his voice. A voice they rarely heard. Garon wasn't an easily confused person.

"Well what happen?" Weiss asked.

"I was sitting at my desk after working on my weapon and I leaned back in my chair. I was looking at my bed wishing I was lying down over there and then I was just sitting on my bed. In the blink of an eye. It was as if I teleported." He finish with a question unsaid, 'what happen?'

Then suddenly both Ruby and Weiss smiled wide. They both knew what this was, and they were overly excited about this.

"Well Garon, looks like you just discovered your semblance." Ruby said with the biggest grin she's ever had. Then the realization hit Garon. He's semblance. He finally got his semblance.

"Congratulations Garon. I was beginning to think you didn't have one." Weiss said. Her attitude much brighter then it had been a few moments ago.

"Yeah. Summer got hers over a year ago. Congrats Garon." Ruby said innocently not knowing the impact her words had.

Garon remembered it. He hated when Summer got her semblance before him. She had discovered it one time when they were out in a very crowded part of town. She was walking next to Ruby wishing she was invisible. That's when she was bumped into by a random passerby. He had apologized profusely and said multiple time he had simply not seen her. That's when they discovered Summer could bend light and make herself, or others, practically invisible. It was a weird semblance that neither Ruby nor Weiss had ever seen. That day Garon had never been more jealous in his entire life.

A knock at the door ripped Garon from his thoughts.

"That must be Blake and Yang. I wonder if they brought Jen with them." Ruby said walking to the door. Jensen Belladonna, or Jen, was Yang and Blake's sixteen year old son. He was a tough kid. Being a male growing up with the name Jen wasn't easy. He got picked on a lot. However, Yang had taught him how to defend him self. Now when ever someone thought of the name Jen they didn't associate it with a female. He had single handily turned it into a boys name.

Opening the door Ruby was greeted with three warm smiles. Yang immediately swept her up into her signature bone crushing hug. While Blake and Jen simply walked pasted them. When Jen saw Garon he walked up to him giving him a 'bro hug' before politely giving a one armed hug to Weiss.

"Hello Blake, Yang, and Jen." Weiss said musingly. "Dinner with be ready in a few minutes. Yang would you please stop crushing your sister so she can go get Summer."

Yang nodded putting Ruby down but stopped her before she could go.

"Let me go get Summer. Give her a little surprise." Yang said with a toothy grin. Without waiting for an answer she ran up the stairs.

Summer Rose

Summer was in her room, per usual, talking to Serra as she wrote.

"You know Summer if you give up on another story you're never gonna get very far." Serra said. She always nagged Summer when she gave up a story.

"Yeah yeah I know Serra. It's just hard to stick with one for so long." Summer enjoyed talking with Serra, but sometimes she could do without the nagging. Though if she was really being honest she would miss it if it went away.

"I'm just saying." Serra said defensively.

Summer was about to reply when there was a loud crash behind her. Spinning around she saw Yang standing in her doorway grinning like a madman.

"Ooooh Summer guess whose here." Yang sang in a confident voice. Summer was surprised, happy, and kinda upset all at the same time. Surprised because she didn't think they would be here this early, Happy because she loved when they visited, upset because, once again, Yang had almost broken her door.

"Yang its so good to see you." Summer said jumping up from her seat and hugging her. Yang returned the hug lightly. Summer was the only one who ever got light hugs from Yang. Even Garon and Weiss got her bone crushing bear hugs. It was different with Summer though, almost like she was afraid to break her. She never gave a reason why though.

"How ya doing snowflake?" Yang asked. Even Yang's voice was gentle when talking to her.

"I'm good I was just writing and talking to Serra." At the mention of the other girl Summer remember she was still talking to her on her scroll. Picking it up she went to say goodbye.

"Serra I gotta go families here."

"So I can hear. Have fun I'll talk to you later Snowflake."

"Bye Serra." With that Summer hung up. Turning back to Yang she saw the fiery woman's grin. Summer only realized to late what her mistake was. She had let Serra call her Snowflake where Yang could hear. She also didn't seem bother when she said it which only made matters worse.

"You just let her call you Snowflake with no objections." Yang said. "You even tried to stop your family from calling you that."

Summer braced herself for the inevitable.

"Ah is my little snowflake gay for her best friend." Yang practically squealed.

"No Yang I don't like Serra. She's just a friend." Summer argued. She was now also trying to fight the ever growing blush on her face. To no avail.

"Come on Summer you know there is nothing wrong with it." Yang was on the edge of joking and serious.

"I know that Yang. I grew up with two Moms. I have to Aunts. Nothings wrong with it. I just don't like her like that." Summer knew this wouldn't convince Yang, but she had to try.

Yang didn't say any thing only wrapped Summer up in a hug.

"It's alright if you don't want anyone knowing. Your secret is safe with me." Yang whispered in her ear.

"Thanks Yang." Summer said. It was nice to know that even though the blonde could be loud, obnoxious, carefree, and oblivious she still had a serious side that cared about others feelings. She jokes a lot, but never really went far enough to actually hurt someone.

Yang pulled back from their hug. She didn't say anything but smiled. Not her crazy smile or her mischievous grin, but instead is was a caring smile. It was like she knew what Summer was going through.

"Come on Yang don't want to keep Mom waiting." Summer said beginning the walk down stairs.

When everyone was finally together they all took their seats. Weiss sat at the head of the table. She was the undisputed head of the house. Ruby sat to her right. Yang to Ruby's right and Blake beside Yang. To Weiss' left sat Summer. Next to her was Garon and next to him Jen. The middle of the table was filled with all sorts of food. Most only Weiss could name.

"All right every one don't be shy. Eat." Weiss said. She herself however held back. Between Yang, Ruby, and Garon it was best to wait to get your food. Lest you lose a hand to one of the three. Looking across the table she saw Blake, Summer, and Jen all holding back like herself. She laughed internally when she noticed Jen protectively hold his left hand. It had happened two years ago at Christmas. He almost lost his hand to Garon.

Dinner was eaten mostly in silence. Not from lack of things to say. It was just whenever Weiss cooked it was to good to break for conversation. However, when they were don't that's when the fun began.

"So Garon, how's the scythe coming along?" It was Yang that asked. Always the conversation starter.

"Alright I suppose." Garon was still a little down about the whole thing.

"Garon you should show me before we leave tonight. I just got my weapon done yesterday." Jen, while not as big a weapon nut as Garon, still loved them. Garon nodded agreeing he would.

"Oh I also figure out my semblance today." He said much more excitedly.

"Really Garon that's great. What is it?" Blake asked. Happy to see the young boy so excited.

However, instead of an answer he just smile. Then in the blink of and eye he was beside Yang and Blake. Both nearly jumped out of their seats. He then returned to where he was sitting.

"Wow. so you can blink. That's pretty fricking sweet." Exclaimed Yang.

"Yeah and the best part is I can use it to be super lazy." Garon was far to excited about that in Weiss' opinion. However, Yang gave him a high five will letting out a resounding 'nice'

"Anyway, Mom may we be excused? I want to show Jen my Weapon."

"Yes you may." With that Jen and Garon bolted from the dinning table and up the stairs.

"He sure is Ruby's son that's for sure." Blake said quietly.

"I'll say you should have seen his weapon before he changed it." Ruby said excitedly.

"What about it? " Yang asked. Honestly Ruby's scythe was pretty ridiculous as it was. It was hard to imagine something more insane.

"Well first off, he added a machine gun along side the sniper. Then he managed to fit a flamethrower on it." Ruby said overly excited.

Weiss on the other had was not amused. "Wait what? A flamethrower seriously?"

Ruby nodded. "Yeah but he came home today from Cassy's and apparently she wasn't a fan of the design either. They fought about it. When I talked to him he was changing it."

Everyone took a minute to process this. Garon was as bull headed as any of them. So to say that someone changed his mind was a surprise. Weiss was about to say something when she heard a sound akin to a whip come from her left. Everyone turned to see Summer with her hand over her mouth stifling a laugh.

Her laugh carried of to Ruby and Yang, while Weiss was shocked at the unusual behavior from her daughter.

"I gotta agree with your little one her Weiss. Cassy really does seem to have Garon whipped even though they aren't dating." Yang said after she had stopped laughing.

"They really just need to get together already." Blake said nonchalantly "They are dancing around it like Ruby and Weiss did back at beacon."

"we didn't dance around it." Weiss said offended.

"Oh please ice queen it took you two an entire year to admit it." this was the part Yang loved. Torturing her beloved sister-in-law.

"Brute."

"princess."

"It's queen now actually." Blake said snickering. Everyone that was present burst out with laughter. Even Weiss laughed.

"Well enough about Garon. How are you doing Summer?" Blake said putting the lime light on the youngest there.

"I can't complain. Schools out so that's a big plus." Summer was quiet. Even in front of family she tended to get nervous.

"I hear ya kiddo I hated school when I was your age." Yang blurted. "Anyway you change your mind about hunting?"

Summer simply shook her head. She had decided long ago hunting was not something she wanted to do.

"I for one am glad you're not gonna be a huntress." Weiss chimed in.

"What about Garon?" Blake spoke incredulously.

"I'm not happy that he is gonna be a hunter either. However, I will not stop him from doing what he wants." Weiss spoke with the weight of her childhood behind her. They all knew that most of her young life she was forced to do what she never wanted to, and kept away from what she wanted. She would not do that to her kids.

"I get you Weiss. You turned out be a pretty good mother after all." Yang leaned back in her chair waiting for the woman's respond but instead got one from the smallest voice there.

"I agree." Was all Summer said. Those two little words impacted Weiss probably more then anything else since Summer and Garon where born. Summer probably didn't even know how much it meant to Weiss to hear her say that.

"Well Thank you. Both of you." Weiss said happily.

"So Ruby what to you think of Garon being a Hunter?" Blake asked. She was the only one that saw the impact of Summer's words and thought it best to move on before Weiss got teary eyed.

"I'm excited over all. I know he will make a fantastic Hunter when he is older. Probably one of the best, But I'm also worried. Even the best hunters sometimes..." Ruby couldn't finish her sentence. The room was silence as they all knew who she was talking about. Summer Rose. Not the one sitting at the dinner table. Ruby's mother. She was one of the greatest huntresses of her time. She was a hero to all of remnant, but even heroes aren't invincible.

"It won't happen to him." Yang gave her a reassuring hug. "Anyways enough with the doom and gloom." She was about to say more when Summer's scroll went off.

"Sorry but Serra needs some help with something. May I be excused?" Weiss simply nodded her head, and just like that Summer faded into the shadows.

"Well back to what I was saying. Weiss, why don't you come on a hunt with us? For old times sake."

"Yang I would love to but you know I'm busy."

"Come on sis. It's just one weekend hunt. You can't tell me that you can't take a break for two days." Yang had a point.

"Yes well what about the kids." Weiss was uncertain about leaving them alone.

"Weiss at their age they can take care of themselves for two days. If push comes to shove Garon can hang out at Cassy's and Summer at Serra's." everything Yang had said was true but now it got Weiss curious.

"What does Jen do while you are gone?" She asked.

"He stays at home. Kid is old enough. Plus he could kick anyone's ass that tries to mess with him. Hell he could probably kill and ursa if it knock on the front door." Yang said these word with so much pride she was almost glowing.

"I suppose you're right. Fine I'll go." Weiss sighed as both Yang and Ruby practically jumped out of their sits. She however smile internally. It would be good to have the team back together, even if it was only for a weekend.

The cheering was interrupted when the sounds of foot steps came from the stairs.

"Mom are we about ready to leave I want to get home before its to late so I can train a bit more." Jen had walked up behind them and was clearly talking to Blake.

"I suppose we should go before its to late. You ready Hun?" She asked Yang. Giving a nod in respond she turned to Weiss.

"See ya this weekend sis." With that they all said there goodbyes and departed.

"Hey Weiss I'm going up to talk to Garon. Don't wait up on me." Ruby said kissing Weiss cheek and disappearing with a burst of rose petals.

Making it to Garon's room she knocked and waited patiently. When she heard Garon call she stepped in the room. He was sitting at his computer looking at his scythe. Taking a look Ruby notice he had not only remove the flame thrower, but also the machine gun and the sniper.

"Pretty basic don't you think?" Ruby asked confused.

"Yeah but I think I like it that way, and with my new found semblance I think I can make it work." Ruby looked down to see a giant grin on her sons face.

"You know what? You might just be right."

Man does it feel good to be back. I apologize for my absence, but you know life and stuffs.

Anyway I feel like talking about this chapter a little bit. First off I got the idea for Summer's strange semblance from my favorite book series ever. The Night Angel trilogy. Seriously guys if you haven't read it. Go read it like right now. It is so freaking good, But I digress. Now Honestly I never thought of having Blake and Yang have a child but the more I thought the more I wanted it. Plus come on I had to give him a girly name. At least it's girly where I come from. It's normally short for Jennifer. I also love the name Jensen because of Dues Ex one of my favorite games of all time. Anyway I hope you enjoyed this Chapter the next two will be less Ruby and the gang and more Garon and Summer. So Thank you to all those that read and enjoyed.

A late reply to the person talking about my comma usage. I Know bro don't feel like an asshole. I am shit with commas. I really am trying to get better.

Also demented potato. ITS BACK. I'm sorry again for my absence. So I really hope you enjoyed this chapter. I will try my damnedest to never go that long without updating again. I feel really bad I was away for so long.

Anyways folks that is all for now. Until the Darkness comes
