Chapter 2 - How Sandy Met Weiss

Sandy gulped slightly as he took in the imposing sight of the Schnee Estate, standing before the massive double doors leading into the foyer. Largest single estate in the entire world, ran by perhaps the most famous CEO the Schnee Dust Company had ever had, and here he was, ready to pitch his company as the exclusive choice for home repair of this massive edifice.

Sandy had worked his entire young life for a chance like this, building up a company that encompassed all aspects of home repair possible. He had hired on the best roofers, electricians, plumbers, etc, he could get his hands on. Building up a reputation for speed and efficiency, along with his brutal honesty and refusal to overcharge clients to keep 'competitive' had led to a sterling reputation as one of the best providers of home repair out there by the time he was twenty eight…which had apparently led to this meeting. He had received a personal phone call from none other than the Assistant CEO, Winter Schnee, requesting a meeting to discuss the possible hiring of his business. Sandy knew that this was a golden opportunity to catapult his company into a whole new world…anyone the SDC hired was instantly viewed as an excellent choice and often led to numerous new contracts. Sandy knew he could handle anything thrown at him…he even had hired Dust experts to deal with those oddball issues that came up in his line of work…now he just needed to prove it. A soft cough from the butler standing by the door shook him out of his musings, making him start for a moment before smiling sheepishly.

"I'm terribly sorry," he began, ready to continue apologizing, before the butler cut him off with a soft smile and a wave of his hand.

"Do not worry sir, it happens to everyone. Please, follow me, your appointment awaits." Sandy followed the man in, once again finding himself gaping at the massive foyer. He had expected it to be white, but surprisingly it was built of a warm wood, giving an inviting impression to those entering it, although the sheer size of it still boggled his mind. Two massive staircases, made of polished marble, ran along the sides of the room, curving upwards towards a second floor. The butler before him bowed low, before requesting he wait there, and calmly walking off into a doorway to the left. Sandy fidgeted nervously, trying to adjust the far too tight tie around his neck to get a bit more air. Glancing to the side, he caught a glimpse of his reflection in the polished glass of a grandfather clock.

He cut an imposing figure in his three piece navy suit, his chin length dirty blonde hair combed back. Finding clothes to fit his heavily muscled nearly seven foot tall frame were always difficult…in the end he'd had to have this suit tailored, but even with that, it felt far too confining to a man more used to a workman's uniform.

His ruminations were cut off by the sound of heels clacking on the floor. He turned to look at the doorway to the left that the butler had previously walked through, just in time to see a lovely young woman walking calmly through the door. Her shoulder length wavy white hair bounced behind her as her ice-blue eyes locked onto his, warmth evident in them along with her small half smile. Her powder blue dress emblazoned with the Schnee crest hugged her form tightly, with small glints of light glinting off the two silver circular earrings hanging down from her ears. He gulped once more, before bowing stiffly.

"Mrs. Schnee?" Sandy asked, his deep voice cracking slightly in his nervousness. A small giggle made him straighten up to see her with one well-manicured hand over her mouth as she stifled a small giggle, a twinkle in her eye.

"Miss Schnee actually. My sister is missus. But please, call me Winter. Pleased to meet you Mr. Wren." Winter held out her hand for a shake. Sandy took her hand carefully, a bit shocked by how easily his hand dwarfed hers, but impressed by her firm grip as she shook his hand. Releasing him, she smiled at him once more, tilting her head towards an unobtrusive elevator set below the landing. "Let's take the elevator…Weiss' office is up on the fifth floor, which is why she had that installed. Please, follow me." Leading the way, Winter held up a small keycard by a scanner near the door. With a small beeping noise, the doors slid open, allowing the two to step into the elevator together. The height difference was even more pronounced in such a confined space, his six foot eleven frame compared to her petite five foot two frame, although she did not seem in the slightest bit perturbed. Her presence easily made up for the physical difference in height…for all her warmth, Sandy was still a bit intimidated. Here beside him was the second in command of the largest company in the world, a woman who rumor said was ruthless in the boardroom, and one whose opinion was highly respected and valued by her older sister. The soft ding of the elevator broke Sandy out of his musings once more, to reveal a richly carpeted hallway, with soft lighting and muted coloring.

Directly in front of the elevator door was a frosted glass door, with the words 'Weiss Schnee, CEO' emblazoned across a white gold nameplate on the door. The hallway stretched to both sides of the door, revealing similar doors along both sides, but Sandy only had time for a brief glimpse before Winter had strode forward and knocked on the door. A second later, a calm voice called out 'Come in'. Winter pulled the door open, gesturing for Sandy to proceed. As he walked past her, she smiled and winked at him, closing the door behind him, leaving him in the room.

A large office space, with darkly stained wooden bookshelves holding a multitude of books and papers on the two sides of the wall. Directly behind the large desk in the middle of the room was a large set of sliding glass doors, curtains pulled back allowing the sunlight to spill through into the room. But Sandy's eyes were instantly drawn to the woman sitting at the desk, carefully scribbling something on a paper before she looked up to lock eyes with him.

Arresting blue eyes, long luxurious white hair tied up into a side ponytail, and an exquisite cultured face were in his view, all dressed in a perfectly tailored white business suit. A red rose pin was pinned to her right shoulder, reminding Sandy of who this woman was married to. He gulped once more, suddenly feeling very underdressed, before she stood up and walked around to desk to offer her dainty hand, Sandy once again feeling far too tall as he noted she was only a few inches taller than her sister.

"Mr. Wren, I am so pleased you could accept our invitation. Thank you for agreeing to see me. I am Weiss Schnee, but feel free to call me Weiss. Please, take a seat." Breaking off her shake with him, she casually gestured to the comfortable looking leather chair sitting on the other side of her desk. Sandy nodded, taking the seat carefully as Weiss re-took her seat at her desk, folding her hands carefully on the table as she examined him. Sandy felt almost like a bug on a microscope, even with the half smile she had painted on her face. Finally, she seemed to finish her examination, speaking once more. "Well, Mr. Wren, I called you here for a very simple reason. You see, I am in need of an excellent, discrete, and swift repair company to handle the…accidents…that occur here. Having done my research, Winter and I immediately settled on your company. Not only do you provide multiple services at fair prices, but your reputation proceeds you as a fair-minded man who makes a great effort to treat all his employees well, and does good work. Not to mention I have heard from numerous sources that you are exceedingly adamant about fair treatment for all your employees, human or faunus. Would you consider all this accurate?"

Sandy coughed for a moment, taking a deep breath before replying. "Yes, I would say that is accurate. And if you wish, you may call me Sandy. I believe my company can handle anything you have to throw at us." Weiss raised an eyebrow at that, but before she could reply a muffled boom sounded from outside, and as Sandy glanced over Weiss' shoulder at the glass doors, he noted a red and black blurred rocket heading towards them, on a collision course with the window. Pointing quickly, jaw dropped, Weiss spun in her chair before sighing. Standing up, she quickly flipped her hand up, two fingers pointing up into the air. A second later, a shimmering fractal white glyph appeared between her and the window. Smirking, she turned back around to look at Sandy, seemingly unconcerned at the swiftly approaching blur.

"Anything, you say?" As though her words were a trigger, the blur smashed into the glass, shattering through it. Even as Sandy ducked, the glass shards bounced casually off the glyph, even as the blur slammed into with a loud thud and a groan. The blur slowly brought itself to its feet, revealing a tall, dark haired woman with red tipped hair, a distinctive red cape trailing behind her as she clambered to her feet, holding her head.

"Ouch! Dammit Weiss, why did you use the white glyph? You coulda used the black one!" Weiss' smirk didn't fade as she gestured behind her.

"Because Ruby, we have a guest and I didn't want him to get hit by flying glass. Sandy, this is my wife, Ruby Rose. Ruby, this is Sandy Wren. I told you about him, we're looking to hire him." Silver eyes met his as a wide grin cracked her previously pouting expression, rushing forward in a blinding flurry of speed to take his hand.

"Hi! I'm so glad to meet you, Weiss has been searching for a great repairman for soooo long!" Ruby looked like she would continue to prattle on, if it weren't for Weiss yanking her back by the collar of her cloak, making the red-head's eyes go wide and let out a 'yurk!' sound as she was pulled.

"Ruby, darling, is everyone here today?" Ruby shrugged Weiss' hand off her, giving her a playful glare before adjusting her cloak.

"Yeah, everyone's outside, enjoying this lovely day, where you should be too! You can take a break you know." Weiss expression softened for a moment, before rolling her eyes with an indulgent smile.

"Yes, yes, I know Ruby, I know. I promise after I've settled everything with Mr. Wren here, I'll come spend time with you. But for now, I think it would be prudent to introduce him to everyone who will be making his job a living hell if he takes it." Ruby pouted at Weiss, her twenty three year old face morphing back into a five year olds.

"Oh c'mon Weissy, we're not that bad!" Weiss' unamused look expressed her view on the matter clearly. Ruby just huffed before strolling back to the glass doors, tossing her hair haughtily. "Fine fine, I'll go tell everyone to chill out while you bring him down. See ya in a couple minutes!" With that, she disappeared in a blur of rose petals, leaping off the balcony edge, making Sandy gape for a moment before he remembered the whole 'huntress' thing. Shaking his head in disbelief, he returned his gaze to Weiss', meeting her amused smirk.

"Well, shall we?"

Sandy blinked as the bright summer sun shining down on the massive backyard flitted into his eyes, blinding him momentarily. His ears easily picked up the sounds of a multitude of shouts and cheers, along with some murmured conversation, before he finally could open his eyes and see clearly in the light. He felt himself skidding to a stop as his jaw dropped, both in awe of the view before and those in it.

The yard was incredibly huge. Acres upon acres of land, all perfectly cared for, with winding paths amidst lovely gardens, hedge mazes, and cobblestone pathways. A beautifully green forest appeared back in the distance, and further beyond the indistinct forms of mountains forming a backdrop to what lay before him. However, the peaceful scene was disrupted by what looked like organized chaos, even as he recognized that he was currently in the presence of perhaps the most famous young people currently on Remnant.

A massive belowground pool dominated the center of the yard before him, large umbrellas with reclining pool chairs situated to the leftmost side. On them, reclining casually was a black haired faunus woman (one he instantly recognized as Blake Belladonna), sunglasses firmly planted on her eyes as she read a book, letting the summer sun bake down on her bikini clad form. Beside her, a red-haired shirtless young man lay, arms crossed behind his head, eyes closed, basking in the sunlight. Currently swimming across the pool, seemingly in a race, was a blue haired man and another red haired but darker skinned man, their taunts audible even from this distance. A green haired man was floating on his back in a tube, laughing at the other two, pretending to be an announcer for their race.

Behind the pool, a gorgeous blonde woman Sandy also knew as Yang Xiao Long was standing at the back of what looked like…a catapult? Before he could comment, Weiss gestured towards the group, before lifting one hand at an angle towards the sky. A brilliant burst of white shot from her hand up, shattering at the apex, sending a scintillating series of ice crystals down, getting everyone's attention. Beckoning them, Weiss waited calmly as the gaggle of people began running, walking, or in one case skipping towards them. As they all gathered before her, Weiss gestured to Sandy at her side.

"Everyone, meet Sandy Wren. Sandy, these are the people who will bring about the apocalypse and generally break everything I own."

Ignoring the grumbled, shouted, and growled denials, Weiss began pointing out each one in turn, her voice bored as she spoke. "Here we have our weapons dorks, my wife (whom you have met), Sage, and Fox. These three seem to be under the impression any weapon, and most household implements, can be improved with explosive powders and/or guns. I've had to rebuild their workshop six times this past year, so expect this to be a common job for you." Weiss was interrupted by Ruby appearing at her side, wrapping her arms around her waist and kissing her on the cheek, a cheeky grin spread across her face.

"Aww c'mon Weiss, the thing with the whisk was an accident! I thought if we made it spin on its own it'd cut down on work!" Weiss glared at Ruby, not budging an inch.

"It spun a hole clean through the bowl, the counter, and through the floor! For all we know it's still drilling its way down to the center of the planet!" Ruby chuckled sheepishly, looking away guiltily, seeming not to have a response to that. Weiss huffed and continued, but Sandy noted how she relaxed her stance slightly and leaned into Ruby's arms.

"Now here, we have the blonde menaces and their hammer wielding accomplice, Yang, Sun, and Nora. Realize that when sober their favorite pastimes are setting things on fire, stealing, and breaking bones, so imagine how much worse it is when they drink. Which is every time they have downtime." Yang dashed over, clad in a brilliant yellow bikini that left very little to the imagination, and grabbed his hand in hers, grinning up at him.

"Well hey there Sandy! Don't listen to the princess here, we're not thaaaaat bad! She's just upset about the tree thing, that's all."

"You mean where you threw a tree through my front door, trying to re-enact some siege scene from a movie?"

"It was a good movie! Besides, it didn't break that much!"

"Yang, you threw it through the door, through the elevator, through the wall, and it came out the back side of the building! You nearly brought down the entire foyer when you took out the support columns!"

Sun stepped forward, shrugging. "Hey, we had no way of knowing it was gonna go that fast! Besides, it wasn't all us! Neptune helped!" A blue-haired boy punched Sun the shoulder, glaring.

"Hey! You asked me how a ballista worked, you never told me you planned on building one!" A smooth, amused voice rolled out of the dark haired girl's mouth.

"Neptune, seriously, you should have known Sun wouldn't volunteer to actually learn things." Neptune sighed, dropping his shoulders and scuffing at the ground.

"Yeah, I know, my boyfriend's a dumbass." Sun looked affronted, before pulling a banana peel out of nowhere and throwing it into the back of Neptune's head. Neptune froze in place, before slowly turning on Sun, his face frozen in an eerie calm. His eye twitched for a brief moment, as Sun giggled sheepishly, before waving. "Err, gotta go." Sun took off like a rocket, Neptune following a moment later.

"Get back here you damned monkey!"

"You won't hurt me, you love me!"

"Doesn't mean I won't kick your ass!" Their voices faded into the distance as they ran off, leaving the group giggling. Weiss sighed, before gesturing to the dark haired girl who had spoken.

"And this is Blake, the last member of my team. She's also nice and non-destructive, but Yang can convince her to do anything, so things still end up broken around her." Blake glared at Weiss, before shaking Sandy's hand.

"Ignore the Ice Queen, I have Yang under complete control." Blake smirked, making Sandy blink and blush slightly, as Yang sputtered indignantly, but a glance from Blake made her pipe down. Weiss gave her own glare at Blake for the nickname, before continuing.

"Often, you will find Blake in the company of Scarlet, who also enjoys reading, although while Blake prefers bad romance, Scarlet prefers reading celebrity gossip magazines. He's obsessed with gossip, and will talk your ear off if you let him get going." Scarlet blushed as red as his namesake, shuffling his hands behind his back to hide the magazine in hand. Coughing, he reached one hand out, keeping the other behind his back while shaking Sandy's hand. Weiss pointed next at the only man near Sandy's size.

"This is Yatsuhashi. He is a man of few words, but he enjoys practicing his swordplay, which unfortunately has led to the utter annihilation of my lovely gardens eleven times. Of course, that's also partially Pyrrha's fault, since she spars with him constantly. I built an arena for them to practice in, but they keep breaking it." Yatsuhashi glanced furtively to the side, as Pyrrha giggled sheepishly, her arm around a blonde man's waist.

"The one Pyrrha is holding is her husband, Jaune. Jaune does his best not to break my things, which I appreciate, but he also has the inability to walk correctly, so he tends to break my dishes. I bought specially reinforced dust dishes just because of him." Jaune gulped, smiling worriedly at Weiss, before stepping forward to shake Sandy's hand as well.

"Let's see…oh, we can't forget Ren, the only person who actually helps around the house. He's also an excellent cook. Well, I suppose I'll be fair, Jaune is also an excellent cook, he just can't serve or else he'll drop the food. Those two cook all our dinners when we decide to have a family dinner. Any time we do, I'll probably be calling you after, because those dinners always result in something or someone broken." Sandy raised an eyebrow.

"What, like knives in the wall or something?" Everyone began laughing at that, before Weiss gave a rueful smile.

"Or something." Weiss' response made Sandy open his eyes nervously, before she continued.

"Ren and Nora are married, so be careful about speaking about Ren in her presence, because she can give quite the speech about why he's the perfect husband. Which then leads to arguments about who has the best partner," Weiss leaned in and put her mouth behind her hand, giving a stage whisper everyone could clearly hear. "By the way, that would be me." Before anyone could protest, she straightened back up with a cough and pointed to the next person in line.

"Coco is a bit of a fashionista…ok, more than a bit. That look she's giving you right now? She's judging your outfit and plotting what she could dress you in." Coco had opened her mouth to protest, but slammed it shut with a click of teeth as Weiss continued, realizing she had been doing exactly that. "Next to her is Velvet, who is very shy. Don't worry if you need to ask her to repeat herself five times, that's normal. She loves to experiment with Dust…she's created some amazing dust applications. Of course, experimentation comes with failure, which is how my forest once ended up encased in a glacier. Among other things. I contemplated a workshop for her, but realized any such building would need rebuilt at least once a day. At least Ruby's workshop only needs rebuilt once a month or so." The pretty rabbit faunus blushed, as Coco gave Weiss a glare, which Weiss ignored.

"Well, I do believe that's everyone. So, Sandy, I see you haven't run screaming for the hills. I'll assume that means you still want the contract?" Sandy gulped, running his hand through his hair nervously.

"Umm…yes? I mean, yes. Yes I do. My company can handle this." Weiss' grin spread across her face, shark-like, as the assembled group began giggling or chuckling to themselves, sharing a glance that conveyed a great many meanings at once.

"Very well then." Weiss quickly pulled a paper out of the inside of her suit jacket, before holding her hand out. Yang tossed a pen over to Weiss, making Sandy wonder where she had been hiding that considering her clothing, before deciding not to worry about it. "I've already sent you a copy of the contract, which I assume you have read over, correct?" Sandy nodded. "Excellent. Then sign here to sell your soul to the Ice Queen." Sandy blinked rapidly, taken aback, both by her phrasing and the far too chilling smile plastered on her face. He cleared his throat, taking the pen and paper in hand. The realization hit him he had nowhere to sign it on, before a flurry of rose petals flew in front of his face, making him wave them off. He realized Ruby had appeared before him, back turned, pointing at her even back. Sandy just shook his head, before placing the paper on her back and quickly signing at the bottom. With a cheeky grin, Ruby snatched the pen and paper from him before disappearing, reappearing at Weiss' side in seconds.

"Ok, contract filed Weissy." Sandy's jaw dropped, eye twitching, as he tried to contemplate how fast she must have moved. At his look, Blake took pity on him.

"Her semblance is speed. Get used to it. According to her, when she uses it, it makes us all look like we're frozen in place." Ruby nodded along with Blake, shrugging.

"Yep! You all are just too slow!" Giggling to herself, her humor was interrupted by Weiss flicking her in the forehead.

"Yes my dear wife, slow I may be, but I still can always catch you." Weiss winked at Ruby, making the red-head's grin shift to a more sensual one as leaned in closer to Weiss, whispering something in her ear that made the CEO go a shade of bright red. Weiss cleared her throat, turning to speak to Sandy, clearly flustered, but the sudden sounds of a loud explosion from behind them had them all spinning about.

The remains of the catapult were splintered everywhere, pieces of it flung far off and smashing through the grounds. Everyone stared at it, jaws gaping, before a contemplative voice came from Nora.

"Oh…is that where I left the time bomb Fox gave me to test?" As one, all heads turned to Fox. Fox stood stock still for a brief moment, before chuckling nervously and running off. Weiss sighed, face in palm, before turning to Sandy.

"Well, here you go. Your first job starts today. When you're done, just give the bill to Winter, she'll see you get your payment as soon as possible. Now if you'll excuse me, Ruby needs to help me with some business decisions." Weiss' face was carved from granite, until Ruby spun around and winked at Sandy.

"She means she's turned on and needs some of the sexay Rubay." Weiss' face went bright red, embarrassment and anger warring on her expression, opening her mouth as though to begin lecturing Ruby. Ruby shrugged, giggling, before yanking Weiss up into her arms and disappearing in a flurry of rose petals. Sandy stared blankly for a moment, before shrugging absently. Standing with his hands on his hips, he quickly surveyed the damage, before pulling his scroll out. He had a lot of calls to make.
