Ok sorry for the wait but I have a rough idea for how this story is going to pan out. It will stick with the cannon for a little while depending on season 2 of RWBY. As always please forgive bad gramma. Also thanks to Jacklyn Frost for the review it was helpful.

I don't own RWBY if I did Jaune would be more badass.

One thing must be said about Ozpin's office, it had a great view. Red looked down on Beacon while Goodwitch informed Ozpin of the cafeteria beat down. Her customary smirk growing on her face as she listened.

"Thank you Glynda that will be all," dismissed Ozpin.

"Of course Headmaster," replied Goodwitch as she left.

Red watched her go surprised. She expected Glynda to demand a form of punishment for her after the incident not leave without a fuss. Turning she noticed Ozpin gesturing her to take a seat with his trademark mug.

"Well Miss Rose it seems that despite your lack of memory you were able to successfully fight and defeat a fellow hunter, and a team leader at that." He frowned, putting down the mug and looking Red in the eye. "Care to explain hmm?"

Red's heart began to rival Ruby's semblance, her smirk instantly vanished. 'Does he suspect something?' she thought panicky. Realizing that the silence only made her more suspicious she forced her heart back to a normalish pace and took a deep breath.

"Honestly Headmaster I don't know how I did that, my body just began moving on its own. I didn't even realize what I was doing until Cardin was face first in a wall," Red looked at Crescent Rose on the desk, "even though I've never used it before it felt natural in my hands."

Ozpin nodded as he listened, his eyes never leaving her's, as if searching for a sign of a lie before handing Crescent Rose to her. An awkward silence passed as he began looking at Red with calculating expression that made her instantly want to be somewhere else.

"Interesting it seems that even with the memories gone your body and instincts still remember their training," he mused.

Picking up his coffee Ozpin stood and turned to look out at Beacon below. "Miss Rose I am clearing you to continue your duties as a huntress, make sure you come to all classes, your condition will not be an acceptable excuse."

'What?' blinking she just sat there trying to make sense of what he said, before jumping out of her chair, arms flailing.

"Headmaster wait, I can understand going to classes to help my amnesia but how on Earth am I supposed to fight in combat class let alone against Grimm?" her voice raising several octaves.

Not even bothering to turn and look at her, he simply took another sip of his coffee. "This incident taught us that you're still as skilled a fighter as you were before the accident and that's all the proof I need."

Red was about to protest further but was stopped by Ozpin's raised hand, the atmosphere of the room making her hair stand on ends. "Unless of course you'd like to face the consequences of a non-student attacking one of Beacons hunters in training?" he continued, his voice a soft whisper yet clear as a bell.

Every instinct screamed at Red to leave the room immediately as her hand began slowly reaching for Crescent Rose. Instead she just nodded her head and got up to leave but was stopped by Ozpin's voice at the door.

"By the way Miss Rose that was an interesting phrase you just used, I wonder what is this 'Earth' you mentioned hmm?"

Red froze before quickly leaving the room, as she left Ozpin opened one of his desk draws and grabbed a blue and green sphere. As he placed it on the desk he smiled, looking over the orb.

"Looks like things are turning out to be a very interesting year."

Red ran down the halls of beacon, leaving a trail of petals in her wake in her attempt to get as much distance between her and Ozpin as possible. Finally calming herself down Red went up to the roof only to find it occupied by Pyrrha and Jaune. 'This must be when Pyrrha offers to train him but isn't it a bit early for that? Maybe I'm mistaken it has been awhile since I watched it. Wait a minute that means Cardin's listening down below, crap.'

Opening the door she walked up to them waving, "hey Jaune, Pyrrha what's up? You two on a secret date or something?" her trademark smirk returning.

Both their faces immediately turned crimson as they stuttered a reply.

Red continued, "You know this spot is great for the view and all but not so good for keeping secrets, you never really know if people are eavesdropping on you, right Cardin?"

All three heard a grumble as a window slammed shut below them. Both of them turned to Red relief and gratitude in their eyes. Jaune especially as he realized just how close he'd come to revealing his secret, to Cardin of all people.

Smiling Red turned to him, "Jaune, what do you think a hero is?"

He seemed taken aback by the question before answering, "someone strong, who cares for others and protects them, someone great in every way."

Pyrrha looked at Red, nodding in understanding before turning back to Jaune, "tell me Jaune do you think heroes are born strong, no they had people help them become strong and they had the drive to get stronger, to protect what they care about."

Pyrrha grabbed Jaune's shoulder, "great men aren't born Jaune, they are made."

Jaune looked down at his feet, "I don't belong here I'm a coward who lied and cheated to get here, I don't deserve to be here. Even Ruby stood up to Cardin despite having amnesia, whereas I watched from the sidelines."

"Nope," Red replied cheerfully popping the p. "Jaune courage isn't the absence of fear or despair but rather the strength to conquer them."

"Besides," she continued, giving his arm a friendly punch. "I don't know of many cowards who would willingly sneak into a school designed to fight monsters and full of warriors who could beat the crap out of them."

Jaune looked up at her before smiling, "yeah not my brightest idea huh?"

"Thanks guys I really appreciate it and Pyrrha I'm sorry for how I acted before would you please train me?"

Pyrrha's expression brightened before pushing him over, "your stance is all wrong."

Red giggled before turning around and walking back to her dorm, "I'll see you guys in class tomorrow."

Well there you go chapter 3 hope you liked it.
