Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter Black and White Roses. Enjoy the 1100-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum do.
(City of Vale, Beacon Academy, STRQ dorm, 2 days from mission.)
"So, a few days as students and we already have mission to do…. Anyone else think this is an awesome few weeks?" Noir asked as he sat cross legged on his bed in his pjs. Summer sat above him in the same way with Raven and Qrow on the opposite side of the room.
"Well, it's certainly turning out to be…. An interesting week so far… To say the least." Raven responded from her top bed as Qrow chuckled.
"Hey, I'm pretty sure all of us want to go on this mission. Shooting at the bad guys, kicking butt, saving the day and all that." Qrow said as Noir nodded and grinned.
"Well, it's on my bucket list to have one awesome mission… Plus, Team STRQ is going to kick butt!" Summer and Qrow laughed as they heard a knock on the door.
"I'll get it!" Sumer yelled as she backflipped off the bed and sped to the door, white rose petals surrounding the room.
"I thought petals only happen if she uses her semblance." Raven said as she batted some away.
"Who's…. Flax?" Summer asked as Noir moved next to his leader as Summer looked at her fellow team leader. Both Noir and Summer could see that the Arc leader was looking right past them, deep in thought before he looked at Summer to speak.
"Hi…. Can I come in?" Flax as Summer grinned.
"Yep, STRQ is always open to friends!" Summer yelled as softly as she could, lest Ms. Goodwitch get mad at them for being up 10 minutes after curfew.
"So, what brings the great leader of team FERN to the doors of team tea STRQ this fine time of night?" Qrow asked as Flax walked past them before sitting in-between the beds as Summer climbed back into her bed.
"Do you guys know who Cadmium Black is?" Flax asked Noir looked at the Arc.
"The leader of team COBT?" Summer asked as Flax nodded.
"He's…. Been pretty rough on a lot of people." Flax responded as Qrow looked at him.
"Rough as in pushing people to do better or rough as in beating the aura out of people?" Qrow asked as Flax gave a so-so gesture.
"It's not really other students he's going after…." Flax responded as Noir sighed.
"I'm going to guess Faunus… I really didn't think Faunus were hated this much." Noir muttered as Flax looked at Noir.
"I don't know if he is, I'm guess is what I mean." Flax responded as Summer nodded.
"Flax, you know we will handle COBT if we have to… But we can't do anything to stop him… At least not for now." Raven put in as Flax nodded and stood.
"Fair enough, I just want some people to help me tell someone if we have to about him… Hey, I heard Professor Ozpin wanted to talk to you guys. Was it something important?" The Arc asked as Noir and Summer shared a grin.
"Sorry, Flax but that's official team STRQ business! Plus, we don't even know every detail yet…. Let's just say, this is going to be like something from a movie when we get to go on this mission!" Summer yelled, moving her hands around like he was reenacting a scene from an action movie as Noir rolled his eyes, a light grin on his lips.
"She's right, it's something we have to keep hush hush about… But I'm sure you will hear about how awesome it was in a news report or something, Flax." Noir put in as the Arc laughed and nodded as he walked towards the door.
"Ok then, thanks for letting me think. I'll see you guys in class tomorrow." Flax said as he closed the door, leaving the four teammates in silence.
"I'm starting to think we are going to have a very…. Crazy school year." Raven said, breaking the silence as Noir looked as Siva Darkness on the nightstand before responding.
"Cadmium is just an arrogant idiot, but Flax's response does make me wonder something…" Noir put in as Summer leaned over the edge of her bed to look at him.
"What is it, Noir?" Summer asked as Noir shrugged his shoulders.
"It's nothing yet, Summer… It's just a theory I'm wondering about…" Noir said as Summer looked at the teen and nodded.
"At least we have something to look forward to, trip to Forever Falls notwithstanding." Qrow put in as Noir looked at the door.
"Anyone else notice how wild Vale has gotten since we've gotten here?" Noir asked as Raven rubbed her chin in thought.
"Yes, it seems that a lot more action has been brought to Vale since we've arrived." Summer climbed off her bed as she walked to the window.
"Well, at least we know that this year won't be boring, training to be huntsmen on one side, chasing Junior on the other hand." The sliver haired girl stated as Noir walked over to the window with her.
"Yeah, field trips and fighting crime lords. Just what all 17-year-old teens dream to do at this age."
The gunslinger teased as Summer grinned and shoulder bumped the 5'8 boy as he gave her a smile.
"Shouldn't we be getting to bed? We have training class tomorrow and then the field trip to Forever Falls after that… Unless you and Summer are staying up."
Qrow teased as Noir plucked a small ball from the ground and activated his semblance, tossing the ball as it whizzed by Qrow's head, he grinned.
"Better luck next time, ki-…" Qrow started to tease when the ball ricocheted off the wall and ended up hitting him in the back of the head.
"I'm sorry, you want to say that joke again, partner?" Noir asked as he caught the ball in his hand and tossed it up and down as Qrow rubbed his head and layed down as did Raven in her bed.
"Night, Summer." Noir said as he gently bumped her shoulder.
"Yeah…. Night." Summer said, starting at the moon as she stared at it in thought.
Author notes
Final chapter for today done. I want people to know: Flax won't be like Jaune, he isn't going to be bullied but he'll still have his issues. And there will be a trip to Forever Falls…. But it will not entirely be like the episode where Jaune stands up to Cardin. Next chapter will be either tomorrow or on Monday. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
