Everyone looked up in shock, everyone but Ruby, who was looking in awe as the dark knight glided down to her side. towering over her. It would be wrong to say that she was fan girling a little. but she knew that now was not the time as she faced Roman and the other
Batman: Your time has come, Roman. Don't worry, you'll get a nice warm cell after the hospital visit.
Roman: Grr, you again. Okayyy... (to his remaining henchmen) Get them!
Half of the henchmen head out of the shop and run at Ruby, who spins around her scythe and kicks the first approaching criminal in the face. She gets Crescent Rose out of the ground and fires it off to hit another one with the butt of her weapon, sending him flying. She fires again and brings the side down on one attacker and dodges the next's gunfire with her rifle's speed, getting close enough to knock him into the air and follow him upwards so she can beat him away to Roman's feet. Looking to her left she sees Batman blocking one of the thugs with his arm blades before ripping it apart (Batman Begins)
Ruby: awesome!.
He then punches the man in his Adams apple before preforming a back flip kick to his frontal lobe, effectively knocking him out and when he awakes he won't remember. Landing, he stays low, dodging a thugs slash attempt before turning around and nailing a hay-maker on his knee, breaking it. The last two thugs start to fell scared at the Batman's fighting style, but are soon to make the same mistake in challenging him. The first one blindly charges at him, but he retaliates by vaulting over his shoulder, pushing him slightly so he looses balance. Then the dark knight shoots his grappling hook at the last thug, piercing his shoulder, and pulls him over with so much force to finish him with a lariat and ground pound.
Ruby: WATCH OUT!
Batman: I know.
The last thug is slammed to the floor with his neck bent. He can only look in horror as Batman takes out a heated batarang, intent on branding him.
Thug: N-N-No, P-Please don't. Sto-AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH.
The thug falls unconscious from pain
Roman: You were worth every cent. Truly, you were. (to Ruby, dropping his cigar and crushing it with his cane as approaching police sirens are heard) Well, Red, I think we can all say it's been an eventful evening, and as much as I'd love to stick around... (raises his cane and opens the bottom to reveal a rifle with a cross grid) ...I'm afraid this is where we part ways.
Roman unleashes a red blast at Ruby and Batman, the former fires at the ground and leaps over it. When she lands and looks up, Roman isn't there, and is climbing up a ladder on a nearby building with Batman throwing a batarang before leaving in a trail of black rose petals ( Its not like i cant go back with this semblance)
Ruby: (to the onlooking shopkeeper) You okay if I go after him?
The shopkeeper gives a short "Uh huh", and Ruby sets off.
Roman makes it to the roof, with Ruby high-flying again and landing right next to Batman.
Ruby: Hey!
Batman: Come quietly and i might not maim you as bad!
Roman: (stopping at the edge) Persistent...
Ruby readies to fight him, but a getaway Bullhead rises up and opens the hatch to allow Roman inside.
Roman: (turning around and holding up a red Dust gem) End of the line, Red and black.
He throws it out at there feet and fires at them, resulting in a large explosion. Batman leaps to her Covering her with his cape.
Roman: Whoa-ho-ho-ho! (stops laughing when he sees something on the roof) Huh?
Batman: Crap.
A woman in a purple cape is now in front of the pair, casting a circle of protection over them with her wand. As Ruby looks on, Glynda Goodwitch waves her weapon and summons several streaks of purple at the craft. Roman is thrown around in the back until he goes to the cockpit, where a woman in red, her face unseen, is struggling with the controls.
Roman: We got a Huntress!
The woman gets up and heads toward the back as Roman takes the controls.
Glynda glows purple for a moment and aims another blast above the craft, resulting in a dark storm-cloud right over the jet.
Roman: The hell...?
With a flick of her wand, large jagged hail starts falling that pummels the jet and even breaks through the window, narrowly missing Roman's head.
The woman reaches the back and her arms and chest light up like fire, aiming a burst of energy at Glynda. The Huntress blocks it, but the flame splatters behind her and glows hot with the enemy's raised hand. Glynda back-flips out of the explosion, which destroys part of the roof, and magically gathers the shards to create a large arrow, which she throws at the craft. The fiery woman shatters the arrow with several blasts, but it reforms just in time to hit the side of the jet due to Roman's quick aerial lean. The wreckage separates and reshapes into more arrows that encircle the jet, but the woman summons several glowing rings around herself that expand and destroy the shards.
Ruby, finally acting, reverts her scythe into its rifle form to fire at the woman, who blocks each shot and creates several blazing circles around her two opponents. Batman grapples to the ship, locking with the woman,hand to hand. She gives him a seductive look and say "You will be mine', before he is shot by Roman, knocking him out of the ship
Roman: See you, bat-boy!
The woman creates several blazing circles around her two opponents. Glynda telekinetically pushes Ruby and rolls herself out of the explosion's radius; looking up to see the hatch close and the craft fly away.
Ruby: (looking at Glynda) You're a Huntress! (putting on a pleading, awe-stricken face) Can I have your autograph?!
Batman: (regaining his bearings) Ugh, bat-plane , immediate pickup.
He wait for the computer to acknowledge, but nothing is said. He suddenly feels himself being lifted off of the ground. He ground his teeth in anger for being so reckless.
Glynda: you have a lot to answer for, young man!
Ruby: And you have the same semblance of me! AND YOU'RE BATMAN!
Bruce couldn't help but blush when hearing her adorable voice.
The scene cuts to Ruby's amazed face turn to one of shame as Glynda, with a tablet computer, paces around the table Ruby and Batman are seated at, right underneath a bright light in the otherwise dark room.
Glynda: I hope that you realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly, you two. You put yourself and others in great danger. And you have cause a lot of mayhem. Leave the crime fighting to the police!
Ruby/Batman: They started it!
Glynda: If it were up to me, you'd be sent home... With a pat on the back... (she notices Ruby's smile and Batman looks up with hope) ...And a slap on the wrist." (she demonstrates with her wand, which Ruby barely avoids as she gives out an "Eeek!", as she latches onto Batman's arm unintentinallly making him red) But... there is someone here who would like to meet you two.
She moves out of the way so a surprised they can see a man in green come through the doorway, holding a mug and a plate of cookies.
Ozpin: Ruby Rose... (leans in to look at her face) You... have silver eyes.
Ruby: Uh, um...
Ozpin: and your eyes are surrounded by red.
Batman: He-he-he( he laughs akwardly, as he looks away so ruby can't see him). Hello again, sir.
Ozpin: Hm-Hm. So! Where did you learn to do this? (gesturing with his head at the tablet showing Ruby's fighting)
Ruby: S-Signal Academy.
Ozpin: They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?
Ruby: Well, one teacher in particular.
Ozpin: I see...
He puts the cookies on the table in front of Ruby. She tentatively picks one up, eats it in a single bite, and then, not seeing any rebuttal, shovels half into her mouth, before looking down to see the plate was gone and batman was eating at the same speed, if not faster. What she doesn't know was that he needed something i his mouth so he doesn't start talking about weapons.
Ozpin: It's just that I've only seen one other scythe-wielder of that skill before. A dusty, old crow...
Ruby: (mumbles through her full mouth) Oh! That's my uncle! (she then swallows and wipes her mouth, embarrassed) Sorry. That's my Uncle Qrow! He's a teacher at Signal. I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing. And now, I'm all like— Hooowaaah! Witchaaaa! (proceeds to make some karate-style poses and noises)
Ozpin: So I've noticed. (placing his cup on the table as he leans in, then sits down opposite Ruby) And what is an adorable girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?
Ruby: Well... I want to be a Huntress.
Ozpin: You want to slay monsters?
Ruby: Yeah! I only have two more years of training left at Signal! And then I'm going to apply to Beacon! (talking faster and faster with her enthusiasm growing) You see, my sister's starting there this year, and she's trying to become a Huntress, and I'm trying to become a Huntress 'cause I wanna help people. My parents always taught us to help others, so I thought, Hey, I might as well make a career out of it! (giggles) I mean the police are alright, but Huntsmen and Huntresses are just so much more romantic and exciting and cool and really, gosh, you know! (flips out at the last part, staring at the two with a wide, crazy smile)
Batman laughs internally as Glynda and Ozpin study her.
Ozpin: Do you know who I am?
Ruby: You're Professor Ozpin. You're the headmaster at Beacon.
Ozpin: (smiling) Hello.
Ruby: Nice to meet you.
Ozpin: You want to come to my school?
Ruby: More than anything.
Ozpin: (exchanging glances with Glynda, who shows her disapproval with a "Hmmph" before he turns back to Ruby) Well, okay. Here are you papers. Glynda will show you you the way out. Batman, come with me.
Batman: Right.
Ruby smiles, wide-eyed and open-mouthed.
The scene changes again as Yang Xiao Long tackles her sister in a hug aboard the large airship to Beacon, crushing the air out of her.
Yang: Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!
Ruby: (gasping) Please stop.
Yang: (releasing her sister) But I'm so proud of you!
Ruby: Really Sis, it was nothing.
Yang: What do you mean? It was incredible! Everyone at Beacon is going to think you're the bee's knees.
Ruby: I don't want to be the "bee's knees", okay? I don't want to be any kind of knees! I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees.
Yang: What's with you? Aren't you excited?
Ruby: Of course I'm excited... I just... (sighing) "I got moved ahead two years. I don't want people to think I'm special or anything.
?: That doesn't mean anything. So was I.
The sister look toward the sound to see another 15 year old, with two gauntlets on.
Ruby: Who are you?
Bruce: You can call me Bruce Wayne, or Bruce,
Yang: How about I call you buff Wayne, big boy.
The lagging two blush furiously at this comment.
Ruby: Yaaannggg, stop being weird.
Yang: (going over and giving her sister a one-armed hug) But you are weird.
The girls' attention is drawn to the 2-D animated newscast on playing nearby, talking about the robbery and showing Roman's mug shot.
Cyril: The robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities. The Bat-brand was found on one of the unconscious criminals who was moved to Arkham earlier today. (I guess?) If you have any information on either of their whereabouts, please contact the police. Back to you, Lisa.
The mugshot changes to , with a photo of animal-eared demonstrators holding signs saying "WE ARE NOT ANIMALS!" followed by an image of the logo of a growling red wolf's head with three scratch marks.
Lisa: Thank you, Cyril. In other news, this Saturday's Faunus Civil Rights protest turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organization has now disrupted...
The news feed is cut off as a hologram of Glynda replaces it.
Glynda: Hello, and welcome to Beacon!
Yang: Who's that?
Bruce: Thats Gly-
Glynda: My name is Glynda Goodwitch.
Yang: Oh.
Bruce: Nevermind
Glynda: You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world." (disappears)
Ruby: (among several other cries of surprise) Oh, wow! Look, you can see Signal from up here! (Ruby and other students look through the glass walls at the below) I guess home isn't too far after all!
Yang: Beacon's our home, now.
Bruce: Home... ( he mutters to himself)
The three hear a passenger groaning and hunched over nearby, running to the back of the ship.
Yang: Well... I guess the view isn't for everyone. (rolls her eyes)
Bruce: Couldn't be anymore correct.
Ruby: It was a nice moment while it lasted.
The ship is seen approaching Beacon across a large body of water.
Ruby (voice over): I wonder who we're gonna meet! I just hope they're better than Vomit Boy. Oh, Yang, gross! You have puke on your shoe!
Yang (voice over): Gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross!
Ruby (voice over): Get-Get away! Get away from me! Get away from me! Get away from me! Get away from me!
Bruce (voice over): Stop moving! You're splashing it everywhere! (a little gets on him) UUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

(Glynda does not know who batman really is. Only Ozpin does, and he paid for all of his equipment. Think of him as the Alfred of this story.
I still need a co-writer for this because i cannot think of ways to put batman in now until volume 4 and keep going after each episode passes. Email or PM ideas.)
