Blake's office was full of varying shades of gray. The small file cabinets were painted the colour of slush, and so was the small metal desk which Blake was currently sitting on, swinging her legs as Weiss helped her with her swollen, bleeding lip.

"Hold still!" Weiss said, fussing over the balm she was trying to place on Blake's face.

"I am!" Blake shot back, rolling her eyes.

"Don't talk, it makes me lose my place."

"Uggh. Fine." She folded her arms and rolled her eyes.

"I can't believe Yang. That's her mother and she just beats you up? Honestly. I have half a mind to report her to Ozpin."

"You can't. She's on medical leave. Besides, who's gonna believe us when we say someone with no right arm attacked me?"

Ruby frowned. I don't like that there's a chance that we won't find anything too. But we've always defied the odds before, why should this be any different?

"I'll talk to her. She's probably either at my Dad's place, or at our apartment." Ruby offered. "She won't go anywhere."

"Zwei! C'mere you little rascal!" Ruby scooped up the little corgi. The dog whined. "Oh alright. No snuggles." She set the dog down. Zwei scampered away down the hall to someplace unknown.

"Yang?" Ruby called "Yang? Yang. I swear if you don't come down here, I'm gonna start touching Bumblebee."

"Okay, okay, I'm coming." The blonde brawler raced down the stairs, fearing for her bike. "What is it, Rubes?"

"Oh, nothing. Just wondering why you beat up your partner." Ruby folded her arms and narrowed her eyes. "Maybe you could tell me?"

Yang sighed. She sat down on the floor and patted the ground next to her. "Ruby, when Mom died, Dad shut down. I became 'Mom'. Uncle Qrow had to stay with him to make sure he didn't kill himself. I took care of you and the house and Zwei. I don't want you to turn out like that. I don't want you to be hurt. I don't want you to fall into that.I can't let that happen."

"Yang, I'll be fine. I want to know what happened." Ruby started to cry. "It's just that there's always been this huge hole in my life that Mom's death meant. They never found her body. I want to bury her, to have a proper funeral, not just an empty casket and a memorial in the park. I miss her, I miss her so much. I can't live like this forever, I have to know." She leaned into her sister, sobbing. "I just want you to share in that burden being lifted, too."

Yang put a protective arm around her little sister "I know, Ruby, I know. I just don't want you to be hurt again. Can you understand that?"

"I can, Yang. I'm sorry. I didn't know." Ruby snuggled into her older sister's shoulder.

"It's alright, Ruby. It's alright."

"Can you apologize to Blake?" Ruby looked up at her sister with the biggest puppy eyes.

"Geez, Ruby. Don't use my only weakness against me." Yang laughed.

"Uh, Blake?" Yang stepped into the office, grinning nervously.

"Yang, if you hurt me, I will report you. You will be arrested."
