While the others were busy meeting some familys and reuniting with some of them. The others were busy with rogue and eria returning to argus to get assitance from their parents. Along with weiss, Pyrrha, mercury and Port joining them.RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum. I own the OC's, AU. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 24:Argus

The skys above argus were bustling with cargo ships and military aircrafts. Many of them were landing on the landing pads. They all had a wide variety of supplies ranging from dust, food, material, you name it. In the air a certain Bullhead soared through the sky toward a landing pad. As it descended the door was open as Rogue looked at her home smiling happy to be back again.

The bullhead landed and the pliot switched off the engine as everyone made their way off the bullhead. They were in what seemed to be a military base as several men moved around in military uniforms. As they got off Mercury was looking around the place, impressed it seems.

"Hmmm weird for a military base to be here."Mercury commented, holding a bag over his shoulder.

Eria just chuckled at his comment"Were used to it its been here for our entire lives particularly, its here to watch out for any grimm. Along with making sure cargo ships get here safe. "Eria replied

Rogue was just turning around several times examining the place amazed by it. Shes always wanted to see the place up close but never got the chance too. Port had his arms behind his back looking around the place.

Pyrrha and Weiss were busy talking with each other about Argus.

"So Pyrrha what do you suggest we do since were in your hometown?"Weiss asked the sanctum champion.

"Oh I don't know….I might go visit my mom while were here. But I know of a sweet shop around here."Pyrrha replied.

"Thats great….I wonder how everyone else is doing back at Beacon."Weiss commented

"Probably mad that we skipped out on fixing the city. I don't blame them we did destory alot of building….I thought they would just have people ready to fix it up."Rogue added

"Yeah… although why did we have to land at a military base?"Mercury asked lookign toward Port.

Port cleared his throat"The cargo ports are usually busy, so I thought we would have an easier time landing if we landed here. "Port replied

As they continued to walk past several people in uniform they soon came to what appeared to be a checkpoint. The man stopped them motioning for them for identification. Port took off a card with his face on it. It was his huntsman license and the man looked at it. Then he nodded, opening the door for them to go through.

The door opened with a loud clanking noise coming from it as the door moved up. They all made their way through to be met by a car ready to take them into town. The man stepped out, tipping his cap to the group.

"You guys need a lift I just got finish dropping off some supplies here."the man asked

"That would be very much appreciated, young man thank you."port said as he went to the front seat. The rest sat in the back of the truck bed with their stuff. The car engine began to start up as they made their way into town.

As they drove they all looked at the open sea next to them. It was beautiful with the stone rock face near the cliffs. The water was spralking it seemed even as they drove across it. Rogue looked at the sea taking a deep breath with the fresh air.

"Desptie us leaving not too long ago I still can't get over this view."rogue said

"Yes, it is quite beautiful this time of year. Did you tell your parents we'll be arriving today?"Pyrrha asked

Eria shook her head"No we didn't might as well keep it a surprise."eria said as they continued to move down the road. Rogue was in her own little world looking over the trucks railing. Everyone talked but she thought about something happened years ago.

Flashback

It was about eight years ago and their was a younger rogue near a small fishing dock in the woods near a small town. She had a fishing pole in her hand and seemed to be focusing on something. As she waited their a man sat next to her on the dock.

He was a large man toned and muscular in appearance standing at 6.7ft, his skin was tan, with dark brown hair styled into a top knot. On his back was a jackal tail for his faunus traits. His eyes were green. He had on a grey t-shirt that seemed a little tight on him. He wore a pair of black sweat pants with some sneakers on colored purple.

"Carefully take it slow and easy firecracker"The man said

"I am uncle….I got this."Rogue replied

The man laughed watching Rogue who seemed focus on this. As they both waited Rogue pole started to move. It seemed she got a bit and the thing on the other end was pulling with all its might. Rogue tried to pull it back and the man got up to help her. He grabbed the pole with her and both began to pull with all their might.

After a bit of pulling they finally managed to pull the beast onto the dock. Their on the dock what made them fight for their lives was a small medium sized fish. They looked at it with confusion then the man just laughed at this. Rogue looked annoyed at this pouting.

"Can't believe such a small fish gave us trouble"Rogue said with arms crossed.

The man picked the fish up putting him in a bucket full of water."come on fire cracker, despite that the little man gave us quite the fight. We got a story to tell here."he said

"Really?"Rogue asked titling her head.

The man excalimed loudly while he flexed his arms"The great tale of Rogue and her uncle Dravan fighting tooth and nail against the dreaded sea beast of Mistral. We chased the beast down for days, until finally cornering him and catching him with our bare hands,"the man said with a dramatic tone.

Young Rogue just laughed at his pose and how he told their little adventure. The man smiled at this before grabbin the poles while Rogue grabbed the bucket with the fish in it. They began to walk back from the doc back home.

"So kiddo did yah have fun today?"Dravan asked whistling

Rogue seemed to pondered for a moment"yeah…I wish Eria came instead of staying back at your place with mom and dad."rogue said

"Oh don;t be like that your sister likes other things. It'll be alright we'll do a bonfire tonight with the bountiful feast we have for them"the man smiled smiled as the two continue to make their way back to her uncles home.

Flashback ends

Rogue was smiling about that time when she went fishing with her uncle. It was fun, they didn't catch anything grand. But he made the experience fun for her which mattered the most.

Mercury propped his feet from across him looking around. Weiss was busy trying to get someone on her scroll the entire time. Eria took notice of this.

"Weiss you've been trying to call someone every hour, is something wrong?"eria asked the other ice queen.

Weiss groaned"yes….my brother called me worried about something. I've been meaning to call him but he's not answering. I hope hes okay."Weiss replied

"Don't worry, snow angel, I'm sure your brothers are alright"Mercury said. Weiss seemed a little hopeful but they didn't know what home was like when they stayed with him.

As they continued to drive across the bridge a large bump could be heard. This made them all go in the air slightly. Rogue was standing up slightly and stumbled backwards hitting someone. Rogue rubbed her head as the pain seattle.

Then she looked up to be on top of Mercury who looked at her grinning. Rogue blushed a little before getting up fast. Everyone watched as Rogue tried to play it off.

"I'm fine…i'm all good"Rogue said trying to be smooth but they all saw what happened.

"Yes….you are dear sister"Eria said smiling at her sister. Soon they continued on their little trip for another fifthteen minutes finally getting into town. The city of Argus was busy at this time and several people were out. The street were filled with people and they were minding their own business.

The truck soon came to a slow stop infront of a shop. They all got out as a couple men from inside the shop came out to help unlaod the they did everyone got out with Port shaking the mans hand.

"Thank you young man for giving us a lift into the city. Do you want our help with unloading your products?"port asked

The man shook his head"nope just doing my good deed for the week. You folk enjoy your time in Argus. Have a great day"he said tipping his hat as he helped the men unload their boxes. The group then picked up their things making their way to Rogue and Eria home. As they walked across the cobblestone path.

Pyrrha had some attention it seems. Several people were pointing and whispering it seems. Not because they hate her, she was the champion of Sanctum after all. At this point she was a town celebrity here.

"Hmm you seem popular here red"Mercury said carrying his bag looking at all the people staring at them.

"Yes….my status as champion of Sanctum. Its brought me and my mother some fame here."Pyrrha said looking down.

"What about your dad, how does he like how his daughter is a famous celebrity."Mercury added as Pyrrha looked away. With Rogue and Eria looking down too. Mercury relized his mistake.

"Oh sorry….I didn't know."Mercury begun

"Its quite alright, you didn't know, my father died defending a small town from some grimm a while back."Pyrrha replied looking sad. Eria walked over wrapping an arm around her close friend.

"Yeah Uncle Peleus was awesome…him and uncle would always tell us about their stories on their hunts."rogue added with a sadden expression

"I'm sure both of them were great people. Are you three alright?"Weiss asked looking at them. Pyrrha composed herself before a small smile formed.

"Yes, let's continue. We're all pretty tired from our flight."Pyrrha said as the group continued to make their way to the twins' house finally. It was a simple house like all the other houses in Argus. Victorian styled with brown wood and tan paint on the outside of the house. There were some stairs in front of it made of concrete with metal railing on it. There were some lights on, that were seen from outside near the window.

Eria and Rogue walked in front of the group to the door. Eria pressed the doorbell on door and it rung. Then someone seem to be coming toward the door. Then a couple unlocking sounds could be heard as the door opened to reveal a women.

She stood at 5.11ft tall and seemed in her late thirties, her skin was caucasian in color, she had light orange eyes, her hair was blonde and seemed to reach her back. She wears a pair of black tight fit jeans, with a turtlneck colored red with the middle cut open to reveal her chest a little. But the turtleneck was turned into a crop top and underneathit was a shirt that was yellow it seemed. On her feet she wore a pair of short heeled pumps colored dark red.

"Who is it?"she said, opening the door seeing the group there. Then she looked at Rogue and Eria smiling. Then she embraced the two in a hug.

"Arghh mom"Rogue said while being embraced face to chest. While Eria just remained emotionessless for now.

"Ahhhh my babies your back, why didn't you tell me you were visiting. We would have prepared dinner for you!"she exclaimed loudly. Everyone watched the woman who screamed like she just saw a ghost just now. Then the women looked at the group with them.

"Well it sems you two brought some friends, one I see is little Pyrrha. And two new ones"The women said as the group waved.

"Ah dear it's great to see you again after so long.''Port said, stepping forward.

The women let Eria and Rogue looking at the man then smiled"well if it isn't Peter Port. The huntsman who single handedly took down a beowulf with nothing but a single Lein coin."the woman jokes. Port just laughed at her joke.

"Correction it wasn't a lien it was a tooth the beast knock out of my mouth"Port said which made the women laugh

"Same old port adding that extra flair to your stories. Well come in, we were just about to have dinner with your mother Pyrrha."the woman said. Pyrrha seemed a little surrpsie by this as the group went inside to join the group for dinner.

Inside the house it was simple. There was a couch in the living room with some lazy boy chairs. Several pictures hanged on the wall of the hayley family. Along with that a set of stairs led upstairs with them being colored dark brown.

Their was dinning table with several chairs it seems. Their in the kitchen was a women with short dark red hair that framed her face with dark green eyes. She currently wears a sweater colored maroon with a pair of blue jeans. She wore a pair of black heels and on her face was pair black rimmed glasses. The women had an apron on while stirring a pot.

"Thetis look who I found"the women exclaimed as the women known as Thetis stopped cooking looking at the group. She smiled at them while looking at Pyrrha.

"Their my daughter, what brings you here today?"thetis asked

Pyrrha laughed"Can't we just vist once in a while after saving Vale."Pyrrha replied

The women with them laughed at that comment"yeah I heard on the news today about it. I was worried you got hurt. But i'm guessing you were coming to visit your dear old mom. Who are your friends, aren't you going to introduce us?"the women asked

"Oh right this here is Mercury Black, we asked him to accompany us on our trip here"rogue said as Mercury walked forward

"Pleasure to meet you ma'am"Mercury said as the women smiled

"Well aren't you a gentlemen, he's a keeper dear"the women joked with Rogue blushing again.

"It's….not…like that alright….he came to make sure were safe mom"Rogue responded

"Yes safe…..and last but not least this is Weiss Schnee"Eria introduced with Weiss bowing.

"Its nice to meet you ma'am"Weiss said

"Hmmm interesting to a Schnee here. You here to try and barter for my husband's business like your father"The woman asked.

Weiss shook her head at that answer"no ma'am I came as a friend for these two here. I don't have any other intentions, i haven't….talk much to him while at Beacon"Weiss replied

The women sighed"its alright kid don't worry about. Anyway I'm Calida Hayley these two little cuties mother."Calida replied

"Ughhh mom why"Rogue said with Eria rolling her eyes, arms crossed under her bust.

"Where is ?"Pyrrha asked

"Oh he's in his workshop right now, working on another weapon hes personally been requested for. He'll be out soon just give it time. Come sit down were about to have dinner."Calida said motioning for them all to sit down.

They all sat down with each other at the dinning table the best they can. They didn't have enough chairs so Mercury decided to stand. He was fine with it as the group caught up. They talk about some of their previous adventures. What happened on their expedition and how they helped Vale.

"You should have seen it, we were slaying grimm from left to right"rogue said

Calida laughed"I bet you all did, tell me about this little grimm faunus."Calida said

Port allowed them to tell the parents, since mostly everyone at the center of town saw it. Port allowed it because he personally knows the hayleys parents. They can be trusted and Pyrrha's mother promised to keep it a secret as well.

"Oh she was alright…except for throwing me into a brick wall when first meeting her"Eria replied grumbling.

"Chill out sis you weren't complaining when she hugged you at the sawmill"rogue teased with Eria closing her eyes smiling.

"Yeah she was so adorable despite being a grimm. I hope they having an easy time over their"Weiss added

"Don't worry they got an Atlas specialist with them, they'll be fine"mercury added

"Ah yes, but despite that how have you been my dear. Last time we spoke what was it again?"port aksed

"Five years ago at Dravans funeral…."Calida said as the room got a bell went off as the food seemed to be ready. Then Thetis took off the pot and revealed some pasta with some grilled chicken in the pot. She then brought some plates out as Calida went to help her. The two set out the plates as everyone waited for everyone to get a plate.

Then from another room a clunking sound could be heard. Which surprised them but not the Hayleys and Nikos. Soon from a door leading to another room outsteps a man in a heavy duty workshop apron with a welders mask on. He looked at the group with a little surprise. Then he lifted up his mask with a pair of gloves to reveal the man's face. His skin complexion was pale and his eyes were cobalt blue.

"Ah your home….what bring my daughter's home this time. Did you get kicked out?"he asked coldly.

"No we didn't get kicked out your sense of humor needs work dad"eria replied

The man chuckled then looked at Port"well if isn't Port, how are you old timer?"the man asked

"I'm alright it's been…."port began before the man interrupted him.

"Come now dear friend call me by my first name, enough with the formaliites."he replied

Port eyes narrowed as he appeared to smile"Alright Jaki, I have been quite alright. You seem to be tinkering as usual. "Port replied

"Yes…let me take this off and i'll join you."he said before returning to the room.

"Is your dad always in their?"mercury asked

Eria nodded"Whenever someone request a personal project of his. He spends days working on it, and several huntsmen or huntresses get repairs from him sometimes. Along with looking for ways to upgrade their weapons."eria replied

"Yes, despite being a licensed huntsman he spends his time making the weapons to fight grimm instead of fighting them"Pyrrha added

Soon Jaki came back, who seemed to stand at 5.9, he looked to be in his late thritites as well. His hair was dark blue and slicked back. He was wearing a light blue dress shirt with white stripes. The sleeves on the shirt were rolled up to his elbows. He wore a pair of dress gloves colored dark blue on his hands. He also wore a pair of dark blue striped dress pants with white lines. Along with a pair of black dress shoes too. On his shirt he wore a dress vest colored black.

He walked over joining them at the table as the foot was set out.

"Thank you dear"he said with Calida soon got all their food ready to eat. As they ate Mercury and Port decided to stand so the rest could eat. Mercury held his plate eating then sat it down on a small table near him.

They all talked about their previous adventures with the twins father who silently watched and listened. There were some laughs and stories being shared. Port told them about their little expedition they went on. How they encountered a grimm faunus but he accidently let out the part of Zane almost killing them. Which surprised their parents but they reassured them that someone with a mind control semblance controlled him. Which seemed to ease them a little. After a bit of eating Calida and Thetis were doing the dishes. While Weiss helped them too, she was a guest after all.

"Thank you dear for helping us clean up"thetis said to Weiss

"Its no problem i'm your guest I should at least thank you for the meal"weiss replied

"Hmm seems you were raised to be a proper lady"Calida added

Weiss continued to wash the dishes looking down a little. She did want to represent her family but her father had all these rules in place for her. It made it impossible to enjoy life right now. But without him around shes been enjoying herself more lately.

In the living room the others were talking about some old stories with Port and Jaki Hayley. Port kept telling stories with extra details which made it boring and annoying.

"Do you remember the time on our tenth expedition my boy dealin with those deathstalkers in the Vacou desert?"port asked

Jaki shook his head laughing"you mean how we were supposed to guard a caravan from a grimm attack. Then we encountered a swarm of deathstalkers. Thank remnant most of them were small."Jaki replied.

"Hmmm that reminds me of the day during initiation when we killed that deathstalker. That was the best day ever."rogue added

Eria was busy looking at some pictures at the wall in their home remembering some good times. Pyrrha was sitting in a chair attentively listening, smiling at their little get to getter. Mercury went to the bathroom to fix something and he hasn't returned for a bit.

Eria then looked at a picture of her,Rogue and their parents and uncle sitting near a campfire. They were all smiling and in the middle was a spit with a small fish on it. Eria laughed at the picture remembering that day.

"Ah I rember that day, Rogue and your uncle returned with their glorious catch of the seven seas' 'Jaki said, noticing Eria looking at this.

Eria laughed"yeah, he would also go over the top on his storytelling. Now I know where he got it, a certain grimm teacher."Eria said with Port raising his hand guilty as charged.

"Sorry that some of my charm rubbed off on the man. Your team was an interesting bunch back in the day. "Port said. Soon Thetis,Weiss and Calida joined them in the living room.

"Yeah I rember I wonder how Kali doing?"Calida asked

"Probably helping her husband run Menagerie. Shame what happened to their daughter Jazmine a while back.``Jaki said which caught everyone's attention. The only person they know named Jazmine was Blake's sister.

"Wait….their names wouldn't happen to be Belladonna perhaps?"weiss asked catching the hayley parents off guard.

"Yes it is, how did you know?"Calida asked

"Oh their eldest daughter is apart of my team. Their actually their right now visiting some family and returning Piper"Weiss replied

Jaki laughed at that"their in for a surprise, Kali asked me for a favor that I owed her. Their going to be surrpsied when they see Jazmine"Jaki said

"Whys that old man?"Mercury asked as he returned from upstairs.

"Ohhhhh I think I know what you did,"rogue said smiling. Jaki smiled at his daughter and silently stood there. While a few of them were confused what they meant,

"I don't understand?"Weiss said

"Dad here, despite being a weapon maker, also makes prosethetics for people as well. He has a friend he knows works on prosthetics and he designs them while working together. Along with talking back and forth with his friend. Then he finishes some touches on it making sure their comfortable for the user."Eria added

"Really….you work with prosthetic?"mercury asked

"Yes, while in Beacon I took a class on prosthetic work at another school. Despite making weapons I want to make something that can help others in need. Whether that be the ability to walk, see or physical touch objects. It brings me joy with the amount of care I put into my projects just to see those people smiling,"jaki said smiling

Calida then clapped her hands together to get everyone's attention"alright so since your staying, where will everyone be sleeping?"caldia asked. They didn't think about that yet, they didn;t know how long they be gone.

"Hmmm don't know me and Rogue can stay here. Pyrrha obviously can sleep at her house."Eria said thinking to herself outloud.

"We only have one guest room and i'm pretty sure two of you don't want to sleep together?"Caldia asked

Mercury stood up stretching"i'll take the couch the old man can have the bed"mercury replied

"Are you sure my boy will you be comfortable?"port asked

"Yeah, I've been roughing it on the road before i'm used to it. "Mercury replied

"Ok Weiss….you can stay at my house with me and my mother. Tomorrow we can discuss with you why were also here."pyrrha added

Jaki seemed a little surprised by this"what do you mean is something wrong? Why not just say it now."jaki replied

The group did agree they could just tell him now. But their flight was long and they were tired. The group continued to discuss how they'll talk about it tomorrow. They agreed and the two group split off. Weiss,Pyrrha and Thetis didn;t have to travel far since they lived close by.

Inside Rogue and Eria were in a room together getting ready to sleep. As rogue got ready for bed she noticed a picture on her desk. She picked it up and it was her uncle. They were posing smiling at a festival in his home town. She smiled at this then placed it back on her dresser before hoping into her bed.

Eria fell down face first onto her bed seeming to drift asleep. The bed felt nice and soft after flying for so long. Both of the twins slowly drifted asleep in their respcitve beds. Later in the night everyone was asleep except for two people in the house. Mercury and Jaki who was still in his workshop. Mercury tried to sleep but couldn't, his leg kept bothering him. He rolled up his leg to reveal a pair of metal prosthetics there. He sighed as just pulled through it trying to sleep.

While in Pyrrha house both Weiss and Pyrrha were sound asleep. Weiss was in a guest room sleeping peacefully in her sleepwear. Along with Pyrrha as well with Thetis in her room sleeping as well.

But infront of the Hayley house across the street was a man. He stood at 6.4ft tall with a white skin complexion, and seemed in his early thirties. He wore a pair of 1930 sunglasses around his face that were dark hiding his eyes. His attire consisted of a gray dress shirt underneath a waistcoat colored light blue, he had on brown black dress pants with brown dress shoesm with black fingerless drivers gloves on. On his head was a light black newsby cap. Underneath it some brown chestnut hair stuck out. He had on a large trench coat on a colored light gray unbutton.

The man was staring through some binoculars smoking a cigerette right now. The smoke illuminated his face slightly as he watched. Then from behind a man approached him in a trench coat.

"Sir the men are here what would you like us to do?"the man asked

The large man put the binoculars down before taking a hit of his cigarette then throwing it to the ground. He stomped on it to put it out as he put up a badana around his face colored black. Then turning to the man next to him.

"We continue with the plan still, we know around the afternoon that women of his is leaving for her dance class. Then we strike and enter the house and snatch him"the man said

"What about the other people in the house, makes it hard when the champion of sanctum is here now. Those two families are tight with each other."the grunt replied

The large man chuckled"don't worry i'm pretty sure they won't be a problem. But in case just grab him and hold those kids off. "The man said as the thug with him nodded before walking away. The man continued to watch the house, more importantly the room with lights shinning through it. Their in his workshop was Jaki working on some weapons. He continued his work diligently taking his time.

It seems we get to meet the parents of the twins along with the mother of pyrrha. It was an interesting day for them to meet some old friends and it seems the hayley parents were on a team with kali. But their seems to be trouble on their end too.
