3 days later Team RWBY was managing to adjust quite well in their current predicament, they used spare weapons parts in their bags to sell off in a pawn shop to get themselves money to keep them going as well as pay Aunt May for the help she was giving them. They had found old clothes in a charity store that they were using.
That morning Peter came in and Ruby and Yang nudged Weiss to say something to Peter and she looked nervous. "Peter, thanks for helping us out... and sorry that I was being a jerk when we met... I still don't like the idea of insulting the government like that or the whole concept of how superheroes are supposed to work here but I was a bit too passively dismissive about it..." Weiss muttered but Peter just gave her a shrug of the shoulders.
"Eh, I bet things are different in your monster hunting world so I guess this was a bit culture shock." Peter stated before his eyes widened when he looked to Blake and saw her cat ears as she was about to put on her bow. "Are you part cat or something?" Peter asked in astonishment and they realised that there were no Faunus on this world.
"I'm a Faunus Peter, the Faunus are a race of humans with parts and skills of animals, like a deer Faunus would have antlers or a monkey Faunus would have a tail." Blake told Peter gently wanting to cover her ears but she saw he was in awe.
"I am so jealous, I would love to have paws of a lion instead of hands!" Peter said looking at his hands making Team RWBY giggle in amusement. Blake sighed sadly knowing Peter would not like being a Faunus in their world.
"Say Peter, if you are going out, can I come with you please?" Ruby asked with her backpack and her eyes winking at him and he gave a shrug not knowing why not. Yang gave a laugh at this and Ruby gave her a questioning look.
"Are you going on a date now Ruby?" Yang whispered in her ear as Ruby's cheeks gone red and then shook her head. Ruby as she got out of their room said bye to Peter's Aunt May as they went out.
She noticed a framed newspaper article talking about the death of Ben Parker who got shot trying to help disarm a gunman during a robbery at a convenience store. It talked about him being a loving uncle to Peter and a loving husband to May.
Peter saw what Ruby was looking at and sighed really sadly, she followed Peter patting him on the back sympathetically out of the door. "Sorry about your uncle and really sorry if I just dug up depressing feelings."Ruby told him and he was looking down as they walked down the stairs.
"I don't know if you would know what it was like..." Peter muttered and Ruby gave him a hug at this.
"Of course I do, it might not have been recent but I lost my mum when I was really young." Ruby told Peter with a reassuring look on his face but he shook his head.
"But it wasn't your fault that she died." Peter told her leaving her stunned and stayed silent as they walked out of the apartment. They then heard someone yell about their handbag being stolen by a running snatcher.
Peter told Ruby sorry that he had to go and take care of this. Ruby then smirked as she looked into her own bag.
Peter had quickly changed into his Spider-Man get up in an alley and web slinged to where the snatcher was. But then there were petals in front of the man and Ruby in her cloak was pointing her weapon scythe Crescent Rose at him telling him to drop it.
The snatcher did so and Ruby disappeared in petals again to give it back to the one he had taken it from. Peter was in disbelief as she went into the alley so they could talk.
"You have a robotic scythe! That is so awesome, I have trouble putting it in words!" Peter practically squealed at the sight of it and Ruby smiled as she cuddled it.
"Crescent Rose is also a gun, I built her myself!" Ruby said as she put it away , she then looked serious and asked "sorry for asking but I have to ask, why do you think it's your fault your uncle died? If it was some robber who killed him..."
"I could have stopped it thought, it was about more than a week since I got my powers. I was goofing off but came across the robbers as they entered the store, I left it alone and ran away not thinking it was my business. I didn't notice Uncle Ben was in there and he paid the price for my cowardice..." Peter muttered and Ruby's eyes widened.
"The words you shouted at Weiss, is this why you're Spider-Man?" Ruby asked and Peter nodded as she then remembered.
"I want to help out, help out the little guy and help out if I can. So one else has to lose their Uncle Ben if I can prevent it..." Peter explained and Ruby gave him a big hug which he then returned.
"Hey do you want us to look for crime together?" Ruby asked with a smile and Peter grinned under his mask.
Later that afternoon, Peter and Ruby had not gotten home yet so Weiss, Yang and Blake (after figuring out how to link the world's internet to their scrolls) were checking out the video website Peter showed them.
Their eyes widened when they decided to look up superheroes and saw one or two videos only two hours old at the most showing Peter as Spider-Man and Ruby scaring of bullies who were picking on a kid. The video had the title of 'Bullying stopped by Red Riding Hood?'
"Looks like they were busy..." Weiss muttered as Yang laughed and Blake shook their head.
What do you think of me trying out a time skip of my own? Perhaps a year or two in the MCU but somehow (due to the portal sending them to the past in the MCU) not much time had passed in the RWBY verse? Similar but different to the one used in SPIDERxROSE.
