Chapter 5: Admiration

Admiration would be world that Whitley would have for a certain set of people and that is because of the passion and dedication that they have witch is second to none. One of the people that Whitley admire is his grandfather because he literary came from nothing he had work with his father's in the mines due to how poor they were and once his father die his grandfather took the money he inherited from his father and used it to basically built the Schnee Dust Company. Whitley was glad he got to know his grandfather past and gotten to know him personally before he died.

Another person he admire was his sister Winter mainly due to how independent she and how she took action upon herself to create her own path in life. It took a lot of courage in Whitley eyes to tell their father and mother that she didn't want to inherit the company and instead wanted to join the military. It was a good thing that both their father and mother actually supported her decision and just over a couple of years Winter became one of Ironwood's best soldiers. Whitley writes to her whenever he could and he was glad she was doing well for the most part.

The person Whitley admire even though he wouldn't admit it to her heavens no was Weiss. Because in a way like Winter she wanted to follow her own goals but at the same time she does want to take over the company unlike Winter. Weiss always wanted to become a Huntress that's always what she wanted to talk about even when they were little. Whitley believes she was inspired by her grandfather who went to school to become a huntsman and at the same time was working in the mines with his father. Not only that Whitley was glad that in her own way Weiss was helping and even saving lives so he knew she would be a great hundreds in the end.

Another person who Whitley admires is of course his own father and honestly their nothing Whitley can say enough about the man he looks up to and admire. He was basically an Orphan at a young age after his grandparents were killed and had to work harder then anybody else so that Wayne Enterprises didn't go out of business and he worked his way until Wayne Enterprises was a rival to the Schnee Dust company until well when his father married his mother of course and combine the two companies in reality Bruce is probably one of the most if not the most powerful man in all of Remnant. Bruce worked hard to get where he was and Whitley could not be any more proud that this man was his father.

Now another man well you can say admire, you could say he was a fanboy or whstever Whitley doesn't care what you call him. But he really has a certain interest and is a great fan of Batman who has done a lot of great things for the city Atlas. He was basically was fighting a lot of crime and taking down criminals weather the military was to busy to take care of because they didn't have enough time. Witch lead to in Whitley belief that from time to time Ironwood and Batman would at least work together on certain situations.

But the thing about the Batman in Whitley eyes is how mysterious he is hardly anybody knows who he is. Not to mention that the news in not just Atlas but all over Remnant has been talking about Batman and wondering who he is there was some crazy theories about who is under that mask of his. One they thought Batman was general Ironwood witch he denies. There so much mystery about Batman Whitley almost wish that he could find out who Batman really is. Yes Whitley does admire these people greatly.

Whitley even though he wanted to follow his father footsteps and make just as much of an impact as he did. He really wanted to do more he wanted to help people like Weiss is he always said that he wasn't the fighting or action type. But actually that wasn't it all Whitley was maybe afraid s little bit what would happen if he did want to become a huntsman or join the military. There was a possibly that he could actually die and not to mention how would his parents and siblings would handle that they would be devestaed especially his father.

No he can't loose another family member that's the reason why Whitley didn't take any fighting lessons from Winter or either Weiss. Because he doesn't want to cause his father any more grief and if Whitley didn't have to fight for a day in his life then so be it. Whitley then heard a knock from his bedroom door and Whitley took his eyes from the book he was reading and turned to look at his door.

"You may enter" Whitley said as the door opened and he saw that Alfred was coming into his room.

"What is it Alfred?" Whitley asked the head butler.

"Pardon my intrusion Master Whitley but dinner is ready" Alfred said to the youngest Schnee

"I understand Alfred I will be down in a minute" Whitley said as he gave the butler a small smile witch Alfred bowed in return.

"I understand sir" Alfred said as he turned and left the room and closed the door.

Whitley sighed "I suppose I can finish the book at another time still I wonder what Weiss and Winter are doing...and then their the Batman" Whitley said as slowly his interest in Batman was increasing each day.

Whitley just shook his head "I can't think about Batman right now mother and father must be waiting on me right now" Whitley said as he stood up from his chair and left the room.

After a few minutes Whitley arrived at the dining room and noticed that his mother and father were sitting down at the table with their food and Whitley sat across from them.

"Glad that you were able to join us on time son" Willow said to her only son in a joking manner.

"Of course mother you know I always won't be late for anything" Whitley said.

"Well your hear and that's all that matters now then shall we eat" Bruce said with a smile.

After that the three of them had started to eat their dinner while at the same time the three of them continue to talk about a lot of things.

As Bruce looked and speak to his son he has begin thinking about some things while he made be physically fit still as if he was in his prime he knows that he can't be batman forever plus even though he mostly prefers to work alone in some cases it would help him if he had a partner.

But he knew Whitley didn't want to fight unlike his sisters but for some reason he feels he can have just as much potential as his sisters. Maybe when the times comes he will tell his son hid secret despite the risk and hopefully he will be alright in protecting not just Atlas but the entire world. For some reason he feels that their is someone even more dangerous and more powerful then Torchwick and if he somehow dies...then he needs Whitley to carry on his legacy and not just for the company but as a hero.
