Chapter 10: The Gem and the Bat
Batman was currently sitting on a roof at Beacon as he was currently sitting and processing all that Ozpin told him in their meeting not too long ago. The existence of the maidens Ozpin apparently being thousands of years old and the gods cursed him so that he can try to stop this Salem on what he was saying it seemed like he and Salem had a history together were they lovers perhaps he couldn't tell because he didn't really deep into that fact.
Batman could understand why it must have been painful memories for Ozpin to tell and relive witch was fine for the moment. Everybody had secrets in this world even himself so far he hasn't told anybody in his family that he was Batman and he might tell one of them his secret but not just yet. Hopefully Ozpin doesn't keep information to himself for too long. If what he says is true then they would need any advantage that they could so that they could get rid of Salem.
Batman then heard his scroll go off and he looked and saw that Ruby had contacted him she and her team witch included his daughter wanted to meet with him. She even gave him where their dorm room was and the directions to get their.
"Hmm interesting...I'll hear them out they might have information about Torchwick" Batman said as he quietly made his way into team RWBY room.
Once he made it into the room he tried to open the door and he realized that it was lock. He looked around to see of anybody was around and once he found out he was in the clear he pulled out a make shift key and used it to open up team RWBY door and once he unlocked the door he quickly open the door and went inside and closed and locked the door.
Batman took a look around the room and he had noticed that team RWBY has made bunk beds even though the setting was a bit dangerous.
"This room is kind of small the girls probably brought in a lot of stuff I know Weiss did when she first left" Batman said.
After about a couple of minutes Batman heard the door open and he turned around and once the door was open he saw team RWBY once the girls laid eyes on him most of them screamed a bit before they calmed down a bit.
"Holy crap dude you scared the shit out of us!" Yang said as she tried to call herself down.
"How did you get in our room?" Weiss asked unknowingly her father.
"I have my ways now then what is that you wanted me to talk about" Batman said as he went and closed the window and curtains that way they can have a private conversation.
"Oh I right I did contact you in before we talk about that Batman sir do you mind if we get changed first I promise it won't take that long" Ruby said to the dark night.
"Make it quick" Batman simply as he turned team RWBY some privacy to change.
After a couple of minutes of changing team RWBY was fully dress and they were wearing different outfits compared to their regular ones Ruby had dubbed them their stealth outfits.
"Ok Batman here what we planned we were basically going to do some investigation with Weiss and I going to the CCT to check out her family records of any incidents and robberies lately and Blake was going to go to a White Fang rally to see what they are to and Yang going to look over at the town to get some information from somebody she knows do you have any thoughts about this plan" Ruby ask the dark night.
"It's a solid plan for the most part but I should go with Blake to the gathering it will be easier to sneak in with my semblance" Batman said.
"That's true base on his semblance and his ability to go undetected it would be better for Batman to go with me" Blake said.
"Alright then its decided we are going to gather tonight and see what information we gather alright team lets go" Ruby said as she left the room causing Weiss to sign as she followed her leader.
"Well I guess its time for me to head out see ya Blakey and Bats" Yang said as she left the room leaving Blake and Batman alone in the room.
"We should get going as well" Batman said as he turn invisible after that he and Blake left the room as well and Blake closed the door.
A couple of minutes later Blake and Batman was walking around town.
"It really incredible you can really keep your semblance up for a long time how do you do it" Blake ask.
"Training" Batman simply said.
"Really just training" Blake said.
"Remember Blake semblance are an extension of ourselves think of it as an extra body part of muscle that you use, of you keep training and pushing your semblance to your limits its going to be a lot stronger then it was before" Batman said.
"That makes sense I just never thought about training my semblance before" Blake said.
"You can't just settle for the techniques you have while the enemy could possibly be stronger you must also prepare to get stronger and gain every advantage possible and that includes your semblance" Batman said.
"I see I'll keep that in mind Batman" Blake said.
"If you don't mind me asking does your parents know that your here in Vale?" Batman asked. He had a feeling that they didn't but he really wanted to hear it from Blake herself plus this is a chance to try to get to know the girl to see if she a threat and to see if she would cause harm to his daughter in any way..
"No they don't...and honestly I don't know if I could face them after what I said to them especially my father" Blake said.
Batman didn't say anything at first which started to worry Blake a bit until he decided to finally say something.
"Blake your parents will understand your choices and wouldn't blame you, from what I can tell you have a strong sense of justice and you want to do what's best for the fauns. Of course there will be disagreements between a parent and child but...st the end of the day you guys are a family and I'm sure your parents will welcome you back with welcome arms" Batman said.
"Sounds like you speak from your parents" Blake said but Batman didn't respond.
"Thank you Batman I'll keep everything we talked about today so then what do we do now?" Blake asked getting back on track.
"Since the gathering is tonight all we can do is wait and maybe gather some information on the streets" Batman said.
"Do you think Torchwick would be at the meeting?" Blake asked.
"Its a possibly no I say its a high chance that we will see him at the meeting since the last time we saw him a couple of weeks ago he did say that he was working together with the White Fang so don't be surprised if we see him there" Batman said.
"I understand so do you think the docks would be our best bet on where the meeting is?" Blake ask
"Yeah but before that lets search the city for information before we go ahead and scout the docks and other wearhouses" Batman said.
"Right" Blake said after that both Blake and Batman continued to walk and head deeper into the kingdom of vale and as they walked Batman had received another message from Ruby.
Meanwhile with Weiss she was with in the CCT room and she was trying to contact her parents of possible and maybe Whitley she knows she has a job to do but it doesn't mean she doesn't have time to check on her family.
Once Weiss made the call she was greeted by a worker thank you for calling the oh good afternoon would you like me to patch through to your mother I think your siblings might be here as well" the worker said.
Weiss was undecided there was a possibility that her father was working and Winter might have more important things going on at the moment so she could try to talk to her mother and Whitley bit first things first.
"Actually I do want you to try to contact my mother but first I was actually wondering if you could find some files for me I complied a short list" Weiss said as she put her scroll near the computer and the worker got the list Weiss sent.
"I see if you don't mind if I may ask what is this for" the worker asked.
"School project" Weiss lied the last thing she needed was to tell the worker she was investigating and planning to stop the White Fang with her team and Batman her family especially her mother would have a panic attack.
"I see these are very sensitive documents ma'am" the worker said "don't worry I'll treat them with extra scare besides I'm sure you know my father is a understand person" Weiss said with a smile.
"Right I'm transferring the documents to your school" the worker said.
"Thank you for your help now then can you patch me to my mother" Weiss said.
"Of course ma'am" the worker said the screen was loading a bit and about a minute or two later Weiss had saw her mother Willow on the screen.
"Weiss its so good to see you how are you doing is everything ok have" Willow started to say but Weiss cut her off.
"Everything is fine mother I just wanted to call and check up on you" Weiss said to her mother.
"Well everything is fine for the most part dear as of right now its just me and Whitley here since your father is on another business trip" Willow said.
"Oh I see well I'm glad you and Whitley are doing alright" Weiss said.
"But nevermind about us sweetie is everything ok back at Beacon how are you and your team" Willow said.
"Oh I'm fine Beacon can be a bit challenging but its nothing that I can't handle and my team is the same as always Blake is Blake Yang is well...you know and you know Ruby" Weiss said as she giggled a bit.
"I see I can't wait to meet all of them especially Ruby from what you describe about her she seems absolutely adorable and call me crazy but I think your father might like Blake" Willow said.
"That's right the vytal festival I promise I won't let you down mother I will make you and father proud" Weiss said.
"You already have dear you don't need to prove yourself to me your father or anyone else for that matter just cut loose go have fun and just what is these kids say these days oh yeah kick butt in the tournament your father myself your brother and your sister will be cheering you on if she not too busy" Willow said.
"Thank you mother I really appreciate that" Weiss said.
Willow smiled "so I heard that your school dance is coming up any idea who your going with" Willow asked.
"Well there is this one guy mother Neptune...I was hoping he could ask me or vice versa" Weiss said.
"Well if all else fails you could always go after that Juane boy you tell me about" Willow said with a teasing smirk.
"Ugh no he really needs to take a hint that I'm not interested he should really go and ask Phyrra out!" Weiss practially yelled.
"For that dear I couldn't agree more I never heard or met a person that was that dense about a girl liking you your father wasn't that dense" Willow said.
"Well hopefully he can take the hint and ask her out soon though I don't get what Phyrra sees in him" Weiss said.
"Opposites attract dear just look at your father and I we couldn't be any more different and look how much we love each other" Willow said.
"That's fair enough...I better get going it was really nice talking to you mother I really miss you and father and Whitley" Weiss said.
"Oh sweetie you know you can call us anytime none of us are too busy to talk to you and besides we will be there at the vital festival like I said so don't be sad" Willow said.
"Your right thank you mother I got to go can you say hi to Whitley and father" Weiss said.
"I will so don't worry take care dear please try to stay out of trouble" Willow said.
"I will" Weiss said after that the screen faded back to black.
Weiss sigh "sadly that won't happen due to my leader I swear that girl is a magnet for trouble" Weiss said.
She then smiled sometimes it was great to have family that love and support her but she wonders how her father is doing right now she thought unknowlying that she was with and working together with her father right at this moment.
