We are back with another chapter in the story. As always RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth and its associates, as always my characters are my own so let's get to the story.
In the morning after getting up Omar dug through his things and found the book his dad had written, stuffing it in his bag he followed the team toward the first class. On the way they joined up with Ruby's and Jaune's team. Yang walked next to Omar looping her arm around his lacing her fingers in his, putting her head on his shoulder she asked, "you look troubled what's up?" squeezing Yang's hand tighter he sighed, "I'm just thinking about what my uncle told me." Carmine, Delilah and Levina stopped completely, Carmine turned around asking, "When did you talk to him?" "Yesterday, when we took that trip to the forest." Carmine took a cautious step forward, "and what did he say?" "he told me about the book he gave me, answered how Magnolia was alive," biting his lip he looked away before answering, "yeah that should be it, don't remember anything else." Carmine bored two holes into his skull with how hard he was staring, "I don't think that was everything." Still looking away Omar cringed, "there may be the small matter of a team of assassins after our heads." Delilah's mouth dropped open, "and you didn't think that was crucial information!?" Omar looked Delilah in the eye, "I was going to handle it after class, I just need to call in a few favors and we get to live." Yang stepped away, "this is serious, and I don't think Donna can fix this with a snap of her fingers."
Omar cleared his throat, "yeah, umm, she's not here anymore." Delilah twitched her head, "what did you say?" "Donna left Sanus yesterday, I saw her off, and she took Virgo and Vlad with her." Carmine grabbed Omar by the collar lifting him up, "are you telling me that the only person that could possibly help us is no longer on the continent!?" Omar put a hand on Carmine's, "you do know I have three sisters right?" Levina crossed her arms, "you were going to call Mavis?" He shook his head, "can't her scroll's in deep mission mode, while most of the time my calls go straight through this time they won't. Donna has to deal with something at her headquarters, so that leaves me down to one." Levina looked up with an arched eyebrow, "who?" "Faye, who is without a doubt the smartest person on the planet. Though calling in a favor from her is usually a major hassle." Carmine sneered, "I think a death squad is a little more hazardous at the moment." Omar sighed, "Fine I'll call her after class."
After the several of Professor Port's lectures the final bell rang as everyone filed out of the room, Omar had been reading the leather bound book for most of the day. Back in the dorm room Omar sat on the floor still engrossed in the book that he didn't notice Yang walk in, she poked him in various places but when he wouldn't give a reaction she sighed. Grabbing one of the comics she came in with she slowly scooted her way toward him, seeing an opening she quickly slid beneath his arms and laid across his lap. Facing the ceiling she was about to lean her head forward to read when she felt a soft surface conform to her head, neck, and upper back. Looking at his face he was still reading his book but she could tell he was trying to make her comfortable, "Yang is it too high?" Yang gave a warm smile leaning up to give him a kiss, "just perfect, whatcha reading?" still looking at the book he turned the page, "the book my dad wrote about my sword and his early adventures." Yang's eyes sparkled, "Oooh lemme read that too!" Yang quickly shuffled into a sitting position in his lap as she buried her head in the crook of his neck, taking his arms she wrapped them around her as she held up the book for them to read.
Carmine, Delilah, and Levina slowly walked into the room, Omar gave a small wave as Yang still had his arms trapped. Delilah gave a heavy sigh before chuckling, "normally I'd want to kick you in the head for ditching punishment and making us do your work on top of ours, but I won't need to." Delilah gave him a wicked smile causing him to ask, "Why are you smiling like that?" turning the smile into an evil grin she answered, "Because tomorrow we have the day off while you get to do the punishment for all of us." Omar shrugged, "Glynda already maxed out the weights last time so she'll probably have me do more reps or just make the course harder with her semblance." Carmine questioned, "How'd she already max the weights out for you? I'm at 250 pounds each weight and barely getting through the training without passing out." nuzzling Yang's cheek he answered, "the weights max is 500, and I'm sure you could pass that with your semblance. Mavis had me train with similar weights when I was younger, plus if I need to I can augment my strength with my semblance, but that would defeat the purpose of the training so I haven't." Levina huffed, "that's interesting and all but what are we going to do about the death squad after us!" Delilah nodded, "didn't you say you were going to call your sister? What ever happened with that?" Omar sighed, "I am, I was killing time, there's close to a twelve hour difference between here and Hanami." Yang took that as her signal to get up, stretching she helped Omar up as he picked up his scroll plugging it into the projector dock on the table near the window.
The holo-screen displayed a busy signal for a few seconds before a woman answered the call, "Good morning sir, how can I be of assistance?" Omar sighed, "since you answered the call I take it my sister is either being a hermit in her room, playing god in her lab, or has she finally gone to sleep?" the dark haired woman nodded, "the young mistress is currently asleep, she has been for the past thirteen hours." Omar gritted his teeth, "execute order Gator Yak Aardvark Ursa." The woman blinked to a blank stare nodding slightly as she turned and walked off screen. A few seconds later there was a crash, then a loud shriek, before another crash, the monitor jumbled around before a pair of breasts filled the screen. Carmine coughed looking away blushing as Delilah snapped to him giving a hard death stare, Yang gave a wolf whistle as Levina stood in shock. Omar sighed loudly, "Faye! Shirt! Now!" the monitor jumbled again as they heard someone complain loudly, when the screen steadied itself again a girl filled the screen.
A mess of amber hair answered the screen as a light baby blue shirt covered her torso, Faye yawned excessively rubbing her eyes. Omar crossed his arms gritting his teeth, "Faye…..I….need help." Faye stopped all motion, she turned to the side and waved off camera. The maid that answered the call entered standing behind Faye fixing her appearance. Faye now awake asked, "what trouble are you experiencing that requires my assistance?" she had the same deep brown eyes that her sisters and brother had, her face had a soft edge to it as she sat waiting for Omar to answer. Taking a deep breath Omar tried to figure out a way to ask his sister without giving away his uncle.
Faye thought for a second then answered, "You wish for information about the team of assassins that wish to claim the bounties on you and your team's heads?" Everyone stood stunned, Omar sighed again, "how'd you know?" Faye turned away as she began typing, "I was the one who improved the black board, doing so provided me with administrative privileges which allows me to see every detail about a job submitted to the black board." Carmine crossed his arms confused, "what's the black board?" Faye turned to the screen, "I apologizes, but such information is classified the fact that you now know of it is a breach in Kingdom security." Delilah chuckled nervously, "alright you can stop with the jokes now." Faye never changed her expression which made everyone more worried. Omar turned to Delilah, "the black board is….kinda like a place where you contract assassin or mercenaries to do jobs that you don't want to be associated with." Levina nodded, "basically if you want someone killed but can't you post the job on an official board you submit it there and someone does it." Faye sighed, "Omar you aware there is severe punishment for divulging such information freely." Omar nodded, "Faye I'm using six favors for this, so cut me some slack." Faye momentarily paused before recollecting herself, "So I am to assume four of those favors are to ignore the people standing next to you, but allow them to listen in on our conversation correct?" Omar nodded, Faye asked, "so what are the other two for?"
Omar crossed his arms, "I need to know who the team is and what their semblances are." Faye was about to turn when she paused frowning, "Omar how did you become privy to such information, I only recently learned about the job the day before. I have not told Donna or Mavis about this yet, so how did you come to find out about the job?" Omar shrugged turning away as a drop of sweat creeped down his face, "what, I hear things." Faye gave him an intense look, "you have always been a terrible liar, and I suggest you tell me the truth." Still looking away he cleared his throat, "I may have gone to one of the underground bars, and I may have heard a rumor, and that rumor may have been about the hit on us." Faye still giving him the intense look replied in a monotone voice, "I have exact location data about where you are at all times, and do not think that leaving your scroll behind would assist in hiding you." Omar turned to the screen almost appalled, "you have me chipped!?" Faye nodded, "it was by request of Mavis, we cannot trust you to not wander off at any given time." Omar gritted his teeth, "where is it?" Faye sighed, "One inch above your left ear, approximately three centimeters in, why?" everyone saw how he made knife out of aura raising it to the spot.
Carmine and Delilah had to grab his hand as he tried to dig into his skull, Yang put both hand caressing his face. Looking into his eyes she spoke in a calm voice, "hey come on now, put the knife away. Don't hurt yourself like that, if you're not careful you could do permanent damage." Prying the knife from his hand Delilah scoffed, "I'm pretty sure it'd go unnoticed." Faye unfazed by his actions spoke, "since I have given you a vital piece of information I expect the same treatment, how did you find out about the job?" Delilah loudly sighed, "Fucking Christ, his uncle told him!" Faye looked surprised, "we have an uncle?" Omar shrugged, "we really don't know if we have any family other than our aunts. I think maybe dad had some siblings, but me asking mom would go over as well as Donna doing something for free." Faye rolled her eyes, "I'll look into the team for you…Omar do not do anything reckless or suicidal. From just a quick search they seem to have a 100% completion rate, with no job taking longer than a week." Omar nodded, "yeah, kinda figured which is why I wanna deal with them fast." Faye almost laughed, "Omar this is a team that Beatrice has acknowledged as elite assassins, you know she doesn't make a claim like that without good reason."
Omar sighed, "Yeah I know, but the faster I deal with the issue the sooner everything can go back to being quiet." Carmine raised an eyebrow, "what's all the 'I' crap, we're a team, if there's a problem then we'll all deal with it." Faye cleared her throat, "Omar you should know by now that you are not alone. I am always here if you need any kind of help, Mavis is only a call away as is Donna. You have a team willing to stand with you, so please don't try and do everything by yourself. If you get hurt there are many people who would share your pain, I'll do what I can to find out about that team." As Faye was about to end the call Omar interrupted, "Faye hold on." Faye turned back to the screen as Omar asked, "have you figured out what wrong with my aura?" Faye bit her bottom lip, "there was a complication during my initial analysis." "What kind of complication?" "It seems like you have the capacity to store more aura then you are currently able, but." Furrowed his brow, "but what?" "In all of my tests your aura hits a metaphorical cap and cannot absorb any more aura despite the capacity it seems to display."
Yang crossed her arms and tilted her head, "English please." Faye sighed typing at her keyboard as a picture of a box appeared on screen, a few more clicks and the box had a section drawn out in it. Pointing to the box Faye explained, "This represents everyone's aura capacity, while the actual number may differ this is the general picture. Now this small box here is what my brother can access, the rest is sealed off. I do not know why, but this may be the reason your aura does not shield you like the rest of us." Omar tilted his head confused, "it took you how many tests to figure this out?" Faye gave him a deadpan look typing again, "I had to run the test several times, the first few came up with two aura signatures when I was testing your blood of residual poison." Omar chuckled, "did the second aura have a match?" Faye nodded, "it did but I had to run a more thorough test as the person the aura matched could not have been there." Delilah questioned, "Who was the match?" Faye pulled up a picture, "the match was to a person named Magnolia, she was a very good friend of our sister Mavis." Omar went pure white with dread as Delilah blurted out, "Omar isn't that the girl that saved you in the cave? And didn't you just talk to her like yesterday?"
Faye slowly turned to the group then back to her screen, "Omar what kind of coffin do you want? I can arrange for one with a velvet interior, or if you prefer I can have one with a silk lining." Everyone stood confused as Omar sighed, "can I get the velvet interior with a red silk pillow?" Faye nodded, "yes, for the exterior would you want mahogany, oak, I think hickory would be a nice color?" "Hickory should be fine," Delilah stopped the conversation from going further, "ok, hold up, what's with the funeral talk?" Faye turned to Delilah, "Mavis and Magnolia were very close." "How close?" Omar answered, "Like this." Snaking a hand around Yang's hip Omar brought her in close causing her to yelp, using his other hand he caressed the side of her face lightly brushing stray strands of hair away. Leaning in he kissed her while squeezing her in with a little more force, Yang wrapped her arms his neck leaning into the kiss. Breaking away he turned to his friends, "that close." Delilah stood there, "oh, ok."
When everyone turned back to the screen they saw Faye staring intently at Yang, "Omar do you want me to do a deep background check on that girl?" Omar asked confused, "which girl?" Faye pointed to Yang, "the one that was attempting to swap oral DNA with you." Omar looked at Yang then at Faye, "you mean my girlfriend?" Faye nodded, "yes that…wait…did you say girlfriend?" Nodding he answered, "Yeah I did, is that a problem?" Faye looked surprised, "I'm in shock that Mavis would even allow you to even interact with the opposite sex, she is so protective of you that I was sure you'd never find anyone." Rolling his eyes he sighed, "Yeah thanks for the boost of confidence sis, Mavis already said she was fine." Faye smirked, "Beatrice may not like losing her favorite toy, that's all I have to say about that. I'll see what I can find about the team after you, just don't do anything reckless or suicidal ok?" Omar nodded, "yeah, yeah." Faye ended the call as Yang gave him a weird look, "her favorite toy?" Omar scratched the back of his head, "Beatrice is my cousin who would babysit me while Mavis and Donna were off doing whatever, she'd use that as an opportunity to torture me and put me through hell." Levina laughed, "I'm sure it wasn't that bad." "You try spending hours running around while a crazy woman tried putting you in a dress and makeup."
Delilah burst into laughter that sent her rolling around on the floor, "you mean…to tell me…that your cousin…would put you in a dress… and put makeup on you?" Omar reluctantly nodded which caused Delilah to laugh even harder. Yang draped her arms over his shoulders, "I bet you looked nice in that dress." She tried to hold back her laughter but was not doing a very good job, even Carmine and Levina couldn't keep a straight face. Turning around Omar raised his hands to Yang's sides giving her an intense look, bursting out into a full on laugh Omar attacked her sides tickling her leaving her no room to retreat.
After everyone calmed down Yang went back to her room as the sun was set and the cracked moon was rising. Omar had crawled into bed first turning his back to everyone as Delilah was still snickering, Carmine and Levina had calmed down a little more but were still smiling. Carmine taking a deep breath stared at the ceiling as he thought about the hit squad after them, taking another deep breath he pushed the thoughts aside planning to think more about it in the morning.
