Raven was waiting for her at the gates that led to the school. The sun had already set painting the sky in pink, purple and orange streaks. To the untrained eye it looked like Raven was wearing her normal resting bitch face but that was untrue at this moment. She looked extremely angry and Summer knew why. Summer took a deep breath and walked faster, she didn't want to make her teammate wait any longer.

"Raven."

Raven gave her quick nod.

"Wanna tell me why you left so quickly?"

"I got nervous and I didn't know what to do. I needed time to think."

"Think about what exactly?"

Summer bit her lip.

"Well?" she snapped.

"Will we be ok? You know Grimm are attracted to me and I know he has bad luck."

Raven's face softened.

"Is that all this was?"

Summer nodded.

"We have been dealing with this since the moment we were launched into the Emerald Forest and ended up together. I never ditched my brother and I certainly won't ditch you either. My brother and I are survivors and you know that. No matter how stupid Taiyang seems, he's ok with it too. Bad luck or not we will be fine. Silver eyes or not, we will be fine."

Summer looked unconvinced.

"The thing with the spiders is fine."

"It wasn't just the spiders."

Very true; more than once they had been cornered by a horde of Grimm. Though everyone in the school had chalked it up to be bad luck on their end, it was true. Grimm were attracted to those with silver eyes and with Qrow's extra power of bad luck it just made things worse. Taiyang had gotten use to the situations they were in after a month of being in Beacon with them.

"Summer... You guys will be fine."

"Not all teammates stay together after school. What do we do if me and him are out on a mission without you two?"

"I don't see that happening. You forget Qrow and I are twins."

The leader smiled.

"Let's go inside and you can be a sappy ass with my brother. He has been worried about you."

She smiled.

Qrow and Summer sat on the roof top of the school with their feet dangling off the edge. Both of them had red faces and were too embarrassed to talk. Raven and Taiyang had decided to leave them alone for the time being to talk things out. Qrow took a deep breath and grabbed Summer's hand awkwardly making her smile.

"So..." she said softly.

"I... I... Did I scare you earlier?"

"N-No... I needed some time to think about it. I just worried about us. You know... together."

Qrow pulled his hand away, "My bad luck."

"It isn't just that."

He looked at her. Her silver eyes looked creepy in the moonlight like they almost became see through.

"We will be fine," he said taking back her hand.

"Raven said the same."

They fell silent for about ten minutes.

"Summer."

"Yes?"

"Do you... do you actually like me or are trying to be nice?"

Summer looked stunned and a little hurt, "Be nice about what?"

Qrow snapped his mouth shut knowing he hurt her feelings.

"I always decide for myself, why would you say that? That's why I walked away to think before I made a final decision!"

He nodded, "I'm sorry."

"I'll be your girlfriend."

Qrow smiled, "Really?"

"Yes, but... I won't treat you any different than the others when we are out on missions."

"Ok, I'm fine with that."

"Your sister comes first."

"Huh?" he said looking confused.

"Your sister is more important than me. She always will be."

Qrow just nodded.

"You want to go back inside?" Summer asked.

"Can we sit out here together a couple minutes longer?" he asked softly and she nodded.

The next morning all the second and third year students headed to the ballroom to hear an announcement from Professor Ozpin. A lot of the fourth year students were already out on active missions and the first years weren't experienced enough. Team STRQ stood looking around waiting for the man to show up. Qrow stood there looking down at the top of his leader/girlfriend's head. His brain was working over time thinking about her and how things would be now knowing he was with her.

Professor Ozpin finally showed up and Qrow snapped out of it.

"Ok everyone. This year will be your own mission without a teacher. The missions given to you won't be dangerous to the point that you need an actual hunter or huntress. You will be sent to small towns to protect and deal with any Grimm problems over the next couple days. You will be sent with extra Dust provided by the school. Good luck to you all and the list is over on the wall."

Ozpin left the stage and everyone started whispering. Summer looked up at Qrow who was looking at the wall now. They had always been around other groups just as a safety net to make sure to ensure their survival but now this may be a problem. Summer started fidgeting with her white cape biting her lip.

All of the other teams were excited for their mission but team STRQ. The four of them had gloomy looks on their faces. There would be no guarantee that any of them would make it out alive after this especially if the area was Grimm infested. Summer felt the worse because if it wasn't for her, they would have better luck surviving.

"Well, we have made it through worse."

The three of them looked at Taiyang.

"Think about it…. We've made it this far. We can make it through this right guys?"

"You're a brave fool with wishful thinking," Raven said rolling her eyes.

"Sometimes, that's all you need to be."

They looked at Summer.

"What?"

"You are the leader and you need to make the choice. Do we go?" Taiyang asked holding out his fist.

Raven snorted mocking his behavior but she had a smile on her face. She held out her fist too.

"We can do this. We are one of the best teams in Beacon right now," Qrow said holding out his fist flashing Summer a confident smile, "I think we can as long as we are extra careful and react quick."

Summer smiled and held up her fist too and they bumped their fist in agreement. It would be hell but worth it in the end when they came out victorious and alive.

"Let's go take a look now and find out where we are going," Raven said and they followed behind.

"Wait-

"Fucking hell…. Of all places!"

The next day they woke up at 3AM to start getting to head out. The Bullhead would pick them up at six and drop them off at a medium sized village outside Mountain Glenn. Unfortunately, for them, it was infested and the village hired huntsman to protect the area but they were running out of money and needed someone there. Even with STRQ being one of the better teams, it wouldn't go well.

Qrow's extra little power didn't quit and Summer's did if she was asleep like it was a self-defense mechanism. Raven stepped out of the shower as Summer headed in and jumped in next. For Summer being as quiet as she was, nudity didn't faze her like it did Taiyang. He tripped out the first time he saw Qrow naked by accident. Then he saw Raven naked a month after school started but that more resulted in his lowered self-esteem as she was more ripped than most guys in the school.

Taiyang sat on his bed as he waited for the guys to finish. He looked over at Qrow who didn't look like he wanted to do their mission. Taiyang couldn't blame him, every single time they went out, someone ended up getting hurt. Summer was the first and she had a nasty scar across her stomach from a Beowulf. Raven's right arm was broken and almost crushed. Taiyang suffered a broken leg and concussion on two separate occasions. Qrow broke a couple ribs and an ugly scar on his left leg.

"Qrow, it will be fine."

"I can't think that."

"Well, we will do like we always do. Raven and I are partners, so we will protect each other. You and Summer are partners so you guys will protect each other. I see no problem with that."

"Yea."

"You can't go in thinking we will fail because we will."

"I couldn't sleep. I was thinking of the spiders."

Taiyang nodded grimly.

Raven emerged from the bathroom.

"Qrow you can go next."

His face turned red, "Wait what?"

"Go in."

"Summer is showering!" he hissed.

Raven looked annoyed, "For real Qrow. She is your teammate and girlfriend. Haven't you seen her naked before?"

"That's not the point-

"Hurry up! It's already four-thirty!" Taiyang said.

Qrow got up stumbling to the bathroom. He cracked open the door, his heart pounding. There was steam in the bathroom from the shower and the mirror was fogged up bad. He could smell the strawberry kiwi shampoo she was using and it was intoxicating. He took a deep breath and let out a shaky breath.

"Qrow is that you?"

"Huh- um… yea…."

"Can you hand me the face wash off the sink. I need the blue one. Your sister has the green one."

Qrow grabbed the blue bottle and saw his hand was shaking bad. Summer opened the curtain slightly.

"Are you ok?" she asked.

He tried to just look at her face but it didn't help him any. He could see her side, half of her right boob and her naked shoulder. Summer looked unfazed by the encounter almost like it was normal for them. It kind of was, since the spider encounter where they were stranded for a week and Summer couldn't stand being as dirty as the guys did.

"Qrow are you ok?"

"Um here…." he handed her the blue bottle then turned around.

"I'm almost done. I'll be out in a minute."

Qrow picked up his toothbrush and toothpaste to get started. Absent-mindedly he wiped the mirror as he started to brush his teeth. Summer stepped out of the shower and he got a full view of her wet naked body as she grabbed an orange towel. He dropped his tooth brush with white, minty foam drooling down the side of his face.

She started drying off not noticing the fact he was gawking at her. Summer had no parents and she would travel alone in the wild so she wasn't very shy about her body, but the boys respected her privacy regardless. Summer looked up to lock eyes with Qrow's hormone powered red eyes. She smiled not getting what was wrong with him at that moment.

"I'm done in the shower Qrow."

"I…. Summer…."

Raven knocked on the door making him jump.

"Summer, can I have one of your cold coffee drinks?"

"Yea!"

Summer opened the door and walked out. Raven looked at her brother shaking her head.

"Calm little Qrow down before you come out it's gross."

Qrow's turned hot enough to melt chocolate if it touched his face.

They were outside as the Bullhead landed and they all climbed inside. Qrow was still struggling to look at Summer. Before it wouldn't have been a big deal but now she knew of his feelings and they were together so it was kind of worse. Raven looked at her scroll ignoring her brother's distress. Taiyang looked out the window as they passed over water leaving Summer nervous.

What if we don't make it out? What if…. What if I can't protect my team- my friends? No one else will be there to help us and we are alone. I was sure Professor Ozpin knew this because I talked to him more than once this year and he understood. Why would he send us out?

"Summer."

She jumped.

"Have you ever been where we are going?" Taiyang asked.

Summer shook her head, "I always stayed from Grimm infested places."

"I wonder why people were dumb enough to build a village there," Raven said finishing off her powdered donut and iced coffee.

"Some people don't like living in Vale."

Raven rolled her eyes.

"We are here!" the pilot yelled and everyone got ready to jump out.

I fucking pray we make it out alive, Qrow thought and he jumped out after Summer did.

Raven and Taiyang followed behind them landing perfectly on the ground. They looked around expecting to see Grimm running rampant but there were just people walking around. Team STRQ looked at each other but proceeded to the center of town looking for the mayor or leader of the village. A few people looked their way but looked away disgusted like they tainted the ground they stood on.

"What's up with the dirty looks?" Qrow asked looking annoyed.

"I don't think like huntsmen…." Raven said looking around, "A lot people hate them thinking they're always out for money."

"You can't blame them; a lot are though."

Summer cringed slightly.

"Excuse me, sir!" Taiyang called to an elderly man who looked lost.

"Yes? Can I help you?" he asked giving them a sweet smile.

"Is there a leader or a mayor here? We were sent from Beacon to help out."

The man smiled and pointed to a small yellow house down the east side.

"Miss Swan lives there. Go have a talk with her."

Team STRQ thanked the man and they walked down the cracked concrete road. There weren't too many people there and a lot seemed to clear out as they walked by. Summer felt like she was repelling everyone as she walked past but she wasn't sure if the feeling was absurd or not. Taiyang knocked on the door and stepped back. The door flew open and a tall woman with white and blonde hair stood there. Her eyes were yellow and she had a stern look on her face.

No one said anything as she eyed Taiyang then Qrow then Raven. Finally, her eyes landed on Summer and she glared at her. Summer felt like the blood in her body ran cold from that look. Qrow was slightly pissed off that his girlfriend was getting some ugly, judging look when the woman didn't even know them or her for that matter.

"What were they thinking sending me someone with silver eyes huh?" the woman said.

Oh no.

"I-I-I-

"Hurry up and come in. Hurry!" the woman barked and they marched inside.

They went inside to see another woman. She had long raven hair with white streaks through her hair and she was pale complexed. She was wearing sunglasses oddly enough. No one said anything as Miss Swan sat down beside the other woman. The four of them felt nervous enough as it was.

"I guess you can take the glasses off."

The raven haired woman pulled off her shades revealing silver eyes.

Summer's jaw dropped open.

"We've been having problems with Grimm for a long time," Miss Swan said, "You see why."
