Chapter 4: A Case of Terrible Timing

It's been one week since Ruby found my little secret, and she's been railing on me about this date. She wanted us to hang out at this new gun store that opened up in Vale, called "AmmuNation" or something. Honestly, I'm pretty interested myself, but when it comes to guns, I worry about Ruby. It's almost as if she's too eager to go there. Then again, I am a former assassin. Who am I to judge?

I was outside Team RWBY's doorway, waiting for Ruby so we could go on our date. I was wearing a gray plaid button down with a white T-shirt under it, black jeans with a belt on, and some average black sneakers. After five minutes of waiting, Ruby came out, but not as I was expecting. I was kinda thinking she'd wear her signature red cloak, black combat skirt and boots. But in reality, she was wearing a red hoodie and some pink sweats with a red rose on her left thigh.

"So," she started, "ready for the first of our fun adventures together?"

Ten minutes later…

We got to the new store, and Ruby was already bouncing off the walls just looking at the sight of the merchandise. There were tons of guns here, half of which are military-grade. There were assault rifles, grenade launchers, LMGs. Hell, this place is ready to service a small army. Or a trigger happy reaper.

"Ooh~! Those look awesome…Oh, I always wanted to see what an AR-15 looked like…Are those grenades new…" Ruby's energy was endless. At this rate, we won't have enough money for lunch. And the cafeteria's closed today because it's a Saturday. But, for the sake of my secret, I have to suck it up and grit my teeth.

Just then, I felt my Spider Sense tingle, as I heard the door open. I whipped my head around, and found a sight that made my heart sink like lead: Yang. She was wearing an orange tank with black sweats, and her Ember Celica was on both arms. She had this look like she was looking for someone, and in our case, this was not a good thing. 'What is she doing here?!' I thought to myself. 'If she finds me here with Ruby, I might as well be a dead man!'

I started to creep toward a spot far from Ruby and Yang's line of sight, but she must have spotted me, because the next thing I knew, she called out, "Hey, you!"

I froze right on the spot, and looking at her, I saw her eyes turn from lilac to crimson. She marched over to me with almost a murderous look and said into my face, "You've got a lot of nerve, taking Ruby out on the town behind my back."

I turned to Ruby, and asked her in the calmest voice I can come up with: "You didn't tell you're fucking sister?!"

"I'm sorry," she started, "But she's been so clingy ever since Junior. I was afraid to even ask her."

I face palmed, not believing what I was hearing, while Yang was getting restless. She grabbed me by the upper front of my shirt, and said, "Alright, pretty boy. How slowly do you want to die?" before priming her fist for impact. "Yang, no!" Ruby screamed. "He wasn't doing anything wrong. I asked him to bring me here. Please don't kill him." Were those…tears in Ruby's eyes?

"But you don't know him. If anything, he would have done something to you. And if I wasn't there to protect you, what kind of sister would I be?!" Yang ranted, not lowering her fist even a little. "I won't let you take that chance, Ruby! I'm stopping this before it begins!"

I braced myself for the blow, when suddenly, an explosion from outside made the gun store rumble. My Spider Sense started to tingle, like a battle was about to begin. Yang dropped me and ran outside, wanting to see what was going on. Ruby and I did the same, and we stumbled onto the freakiest thing: someone with metal wings was hovering in front of the Vale First National Bank. Two more figures stepped out of the smoke, each carrying two bags of money.

'Oh. This is just great' I deadpanned.

Well, this is a fine pickle. So, poor Mercury's got a Yangry sister on one end, and this story's first supervillain on the other. I originally wanted to write about Mercury's upgrades to his suit, but I figured I wait for the fight first. AmmuNation is not mine, it's a franchise within GTA 5, which belongs to Rockstar Productions. RWBY is not mine either (expect me to repeat this for every new chapter). But tune in next time, when the Spider-Man faces Blackwing. Kamina, out.
