Chapter 13: Watchful Eye

"That was pretty much everything I can tell you what happen that night" Batman said as he explained what happen with his encounter with the lady in the mask.

The dark knight of Atlas was currently in Ozpin office along with Glynda and Ironwood, the general of Atlas contacted Batman and wanted to explain what happen last night night with his encounter with the mask woman he fought. Its safe to say that after Batman told Ozpin what happen he was stressed out to say the least.

"See they were here Ozpin they were here!" Ironwood said as he banged his head on Ozpin's deck.

"We are very much aware of that thank you James" Glynda said as she glared at the general of Atlas.

"Fantastic your aware now are we going to do something about it or do we stay the course and ignore what's right in front of us" Ironwood said as a alarm was sound on Ozpin desk.

"Come in" Ozpin said as the elevator door opened and Ruby walked into Ozpin office.

"Sorry it took so long somebody accidently hit all of the buttons of the elevator on the way up here...it wasn't me" Ruby said as he entered the office.

"Thank you for coming Ruby how are you feeling?" Ozpin asked the leader of team RWBY.

"Ok I guess I just wish I could arrived on time to help Batman but my bad guy record wasn't o for three" Ruby said but the others just merely looked at her as she said that.

"Ok so that's the tone we're going for got it" Ruby mumbled as she rubbed her head.

"Ruby even if you didn't do much I feel its appropriate to let you know I think what you did last night is exactly what being a huntress is all about you recognize a threat, you took action and you did the very best you could" Ironwood said as he placed his hand on Ruby's shoulder.

"Thank you sir" Ruby said with a smile on her face.

"Now then the general and Batman here has already informed us of the events that transpired last night but now you have rested we were hoping if you had anything to add" Ozpin said.

"Was there anyone else with her did she look familiar to you?" Glynda asked the sliver eyed girl.

"I...I don't know the only thing I can tell you was that she was wearing a mask and I think I saw that her clothes were glowing" Ruby said.

"Hmm that sounds just like the same woman I fought the night we met Ruby" Glynda said.

"Imbuded dust into clothing his a age old technique it could have been anyone" Ironwood said.

"I agree it would be hard to track down a person who knows an old technique like that since hardly anybody uses it anymore" Batman said.

"Wait do you think this girl is connected to Torchwick and the White Fang?" Ruby asked.

"Its possible..but we still lack the required evidance to link the two together" Ozpin said as he Batman and Ironwood looked at each other.

"Actually I think maybe Batman told you this but I think I remember her saying something about a hideout in the southeast outside the kingdom" Ruby said.

"I believe Batman had mentioned that before...interesting" Ozpin said.

"But I thought you say the intruder never" Glynda started to say but Ozpin interrupted her.

"Thank you for your cooperation Ruby why don't you go and spend some time with your team you have a big day ahead of you" Ozpin said.

"Anytime" Ruby said as she started to leave the office.

"And please try to be more discreet about this manner" Ozpin said.

"Yes sir" Ruby said as she left once she did Ozpin and the others began to discuss what their next course of actions should be.

"Well there we have it we send many troops we can to the southeast find out exactly what is going on and edrciate any forces that stand in our way" Ironwood said.

"I dont think their any need for that Ironwood at least not yet" Batman said he was shocked that Batman disagreed with him on the matter.

Glynda merely shook her head "why must your answer to everything be involved a triumphant display of military provado you treat every situation as a contest of measuring dic" Glynda said but Ozpin interrupted her.

"Glynda" Ozpin said.

"Well he does" Glynda said to her boss.

"She right as much as I too would love to end this situation once and for all we must remember this goes beyond Vale beyond Beacon and if it is truly some part of a master plan for witch we know not the final move we shouldn't be so bold not could we risk the spread of panic Ozpin said.

"I have served you faithfully for years if your meaning to tell me your plan is to hold our defenses and wait!" Ironwood yelled.

"It is not!" Ozpin yelled as he stood up from his chair he then sigh a bit.

"You're a general James so you tell me which do you send in first the flag bearer or the scouts" Ozpin asked as Ironwood sigh as he knew where Ozpin was going with this.

"Ironwood like Ozpin said we can't charge in recklessly you know as well I do in order to gain advantage in a war you must gather every information and detail on our enemy as much as possible and that's where I come in" Batman said.

Ironwood sigh as he knew he wasn't going to win this argument "fine I'll hold back for now just contact me if anything comes up" Ironwood said as he left the office.

Glynda sigh "I swear that man" she said.

"Forget about him for now Batman I would like a favor from you if you don't mind" Ozpin said.

"What is it?" Batman asked.

"I'm sure you are well aware that first years students shadow professional huntsman and huntress on missions even though your not a official huntsman you have skills that are on par with a huntsman I want you to go on a mission with a team and a huntsman with them on a search and destroy mission on the Southeast" Ozpin said to the dark knight of Atlas.

While Batman usually prefers to work along from time to time he didn't mind cooperating if the situation truly called for it.

"I understand and who team and huntsman or huntress am I assigned to" Batman asked.

"Oh that's a surprise now if you excuse me I have to speak to the first years come along Glynda" Ozpin said.

"Yes sir" Glynda said as she left the office along with Ozpin leaving Batman alone until he disappeared as well.

A couple of minutes later Batman arrived near the plane to meet the huntsman for the mission and he was...interesting to say the least.

"Ah you must be Batman Ozpin told me you was coming professor Oobleck please to make your acquaintance!" Oobleck said.

He talked to fast it was a miracle Batman understood a word he said.

"Likewise" Batman said as he nodded his head at the professor.

"Oh look it looks like team RWBY has arrived I'll go ahead and greet them" Oobleck said as he ran up to them.

"Hello girls who ready to fight for their lives!" Oobleck said to team you had a mixture of excitement and regret on their face excitement (mostly Ruby and Blake) that they were teaming up with Batman again and regret because Oobleck was the huntsman they were assigned with.

Batman sighed "I'm teaming up with Weiss team again I swear these girls are a magnet for trouble and Oobleck.." Batman thought he could tell this mission was going to be very interesting for the most part hopefully he can be prepared for the insanity that was about to come soon.
