Chapter 2 Teal:Farewell Goofball
Inside the Argus General Hospital front desk calida was sighing off the paper work for her daughters to be released. Though Eria right now was being pushed through the hall by a nurse. But she still had the iv drip in her right hand. As they wheeled through the halls they were in another part of the hospital.
"Okay we need to remove these needles from your hands to stop the flow of the IVS. this may sting"the nurse said as she grabbed eria right arm and with gentl care removed the needle from her wrist. It bled a little but she quickly rubbed it with some rubbing alcohol to disinfected the area of the the wirst.
"Alright that wasn't so bad was it?"the nurse asked
"No umm it wasn't"eria replied as next to her was Perun along with Weiss who wanted to check on her. Rogue along with mercury and emerald were somewhere else right now doing something.
"Okay with that done. You can take the shower now"the nurse said as she wheeled her not that far away to another room. Their were some other patients their but one of them was a surprise for eria to see here. That being Ame which was a surprise indeed.
"Wait Ame your awake?"perun asked
Ame was in her usually attire she wore from before when eria last saw her. Though she didn't have her prosthetic arm on at all.
"Yeah just got up not that too long ago"ame replied as she looked toward eria smiling a little.
"Seems you got up too"ame replied
"Uhh yeah. Why are you here even?"eria asked
"Oh well in our airship we were on a grimm attacked it. We all made it out okay but I conked my head pretty hard and got a concussion"ame answered as eria noticed a small bit of bruising on ame forehead.
"Well its great that your awake. Probably heading back to your mom and dad shop"perun replied
Ame hummed at this"yep though"ame begun glancing at eria missing leg with a sadden look but quickly bounced back.
"Everything will be okay….your dad a great prosthetics maybe he got a leg already made for you"Ame continued
Though eria when a little wide eyed at this because she wasn't really considering getting a new leg right now. Because she didn't feel ready for it at all along with not even deserving something like that. She needed time to think about what she was going to do.
"Umm maybe"eria replied turning away as weiss noticed this. Ame soon left the three as she went off to leave with her parents if they were here.
"Alright all you need is already provided for you. Leave your gowns in their and we'll come by and get them later."She replied as she left the frozen girl.
Eria got wheeled in by the nurse and saw how the shower had a large sink and large shower space where the shower head was overhead.
She noticed the shampoo and hairwash in the shower along with a back scrub for her. She also noticed a seat that she can use to stablize herself. Then she proceed to prop herself up on the seat as she striped off her gown which took a bit of time. But she got it off as she turned the water on. It came down from the shower head as it hit her a little. It felt cold as she let out a small yelp.
After adjusting the water temperature for a bit she carefully moved her hand water was medium in temeprature as she slightly shivered from the water hitting her bodie. With that started to began to use the bodie wash on her body and it didn't take long. But she glanced at her missing apengage sighing heavily.
She then to scrub her bodie with the scrub as she placed the bottle down next to her. She started scrubbing for a bit until it became all soapy. It wasn't long until she was fully finished washing up her bodie, then she grabbed the shampoo bottle as she poured it ontop of her head. With a squeeze from the bottle of shampoo in hand the cold liquid came onto her head. Then she closed the bottle and began scrubbing her head sitting down. After that she made sure to get all this dirt and grim off her. Another ten minutes later of washing her hair she grabbed the towel close by. She started to pat herself down as she used the towel.
A knock came at the door and it was weiss"umm hey everything elright in their?"weiss asked concerned
Eria was slowly pulling herself up to stand but forgot about her missing leg for a second.
"Yeah I jus–"eria begun but immediately began to wobble a little. She went forward with the towel wrapped around her bodie as she fell hard onto the floor. She let out a yelp as immediately along with perun rushed in too see her naked on the floor.
Perun became flushed as he quickly turned away out fo respect. Weiss sighed as she pushed him out then help eria up.
"You alright?"she said as she placed a bag of clothes on a nearby bench.
"Yeah just…slipped my mind my leg was gone for a second"Eria replied
Weiss had a casted look on her face"i'm sorry here let me help you"Weiss said as she helped eria over to a bench.
"Do you need help getting change or no?"weiss asked
"Umm I think I got it"eria replied as weiss left her alone as she left her to get change. After fully getting changed she wore a pair of light blue sweatpants with a teal lon sleeve shirt. Though her right pant leg was empty.
She sighed as she wheeled a little toward the shower, the door opened as the nurse took eria upfront. Along with that soon enough the three were their. She looked up to see her parents waiting for her. Though rogue was being distant a little it seems she wondered what happened while she was out. Also why she in the hospital with her.
Calida looked over at her daughter as she walked over to her as she gently embraced her again. Eria returned it but looked sadden still about her friends passing.
"Lets get you home sweetie"calida said as she was about to push the wheelchair.
"No ma'am I can do it"perun reassured as he walked behind placing his hands on the wheelchair.
"Are you sure its no proble–"calida said as perun stopped her.
"Hey she my girl I gotta take care of her"perun replied as eria sllgithly blushed from that comment. Calida chuckled a little smiling a little at the two.
"Okay be careful with her then, lets go i'm sure you want to head home"calida said as perun began to push eria out through the hospital.
As she did eria looked at rogue her twin sister who glanced at her. Her twin sister smiled a little but looked upset still about something.
"Its great to see you awake again sis"Rogue said softly as eria nodded
"Yeah though…why were you in the hospital?"eria questioned
Rogue quickly turned away from her which made eria wonder what exactly happened whiled she was out for four days. Though she glanced at her mother who seemed a little mad at rogue which meant she did something really stupid.
The group made their way outside of the hospital soon enough. Though once outside eria was very surrpsied to see a certain ice queen their standing up front waiting for them. It was weiss older sister who had on a white sweater with blue jeans. She had a scroll out as she was rubbing her eyes looking at something.
Winter was looking at a new report from the ace ops. She hasn't had time to look at it yet since she been helping weiss grieve for the past four days. Though it was sent to her before the CCT Tower went down in vale. Mainly it was about the grimm knights that were dealt with during the attack on Vale.
Ironwood wants her along with a few of the other atlas specialist to hunt the knights down. But she was worried about her little sister right now. Because of what she mentioned back in vale of their father abusing her and her younger brothers.
"Okay I contacted mother by sending that mail to her. Telling her i'll be back in Atlas today, and she didn't wanna leave weiss with their father right now"winter was deep in thought.
"But mother said it'll be a couple weeks before she gets here. Since she busy with working at the hospital foundation she started. But she promised to come and get her no matter what"winter thoughts cotninued
Though as she sat their someone called out to her"Winter their you are"weiss called out as winter looked over at her younger sister smiling.
"Their you all are I see that she oaky"winter said gesturing toward rogue and glanced at eria.
"And your awake. How are you feeling?"Winter added
Eria rubbed the missing spot where her leg was looking down"i'm fine…just a little sore"eria answered as she was upset about her lose of limb still.
Jaki sighed heavily"lets get back home dear, then we can explain to you the last few days"jaki said as eria nodded.
"Yes lets go shall we. Weiss we need to discuss something when we get back"winter said
"Umm okay winter"weiss replied
The group then started to make their way back toward the hayley resident. Though they weren't that talkative it seems because it was very quiet on their walk back. Though eria couldn't but feel like if she was just fast enough and got to pyrrha on time. She might still be here today, but she was too slow and it costed her friends life and her leg.
They continued to walk for twenty minutes in silence as they got to her family home. As they were going up to the front door to walk in. Calida stopped for a second as she looked at jaki.
"Dear why don't you take them inside. I need to talk to our daughter"calida replied as jaki nodded. He walked over helping eria up the stairs for a bit. As he did perun grabbed the wheelchair holding it as mercury held the door open for them.
Jaki immedaitly walked inside as the others followed all except for her mother and inside jaki walked over setting her down on the couch. Then perun wheel her wheelchair close by for her.
"Here we are home sweet home"perun said with a smile.
Eria looked around seeing it was still just like before with the family pictures on the walls. Along with that the chairs and couch in the room. But she still felt upset but also wondered if anyone else made it out that day.
"Yeah though why are you two here?"Eria asked looking at mercury and was standing up while emerald sat in a chair.
"Oh we didn't really have a place to stay because you know"emerald replied
"Can't really live anywhere if your orphans pretty much. Though we managed to get by mooching off your parents"mercury added
Jaki chuckled"that you are though your lucky my daughter allows you here."jaki said
"Sorry old man sunshine seems to like me especially for my metal legs"mercury replied as a couple chuckles could be heard.
Though eria found it a little funny because rogue proabbyl already modded his legs at some point or asked about it. But another thought crossed her mind wondering if the other mades it. Ruby was with them and they were after her last she recalled.
"Umm I have a question actually"eria said
"Ask away dear"jaki said as he was close by collpasing his hands together.
Eria took a deep breath as she was hestiant to ask for what was next. That being if their was a list of those who died during the fall.
"Is their a list of the people who died?"eria asked as the room got silent for amoment.
Though perun was close by as he walked over toward a small bag. The bag in questioned had something that belong to eria. He started to pull some things out one of which being her bat tundra along with her scroll.
"Wait how do you have that?"Eria questioned.
"Oh the hospital had your belonging with you when you were discharged. "Weiss answered
Perun was pulling up a list of those who died in the Fall as he handed it too eria. He sat close by incase he needed to comfort her if she saw something troubling. Eria began to scroll through the list as on the top of it was pyrrha nikos name. Which still hurt hearing her death, along with that she saw cinder falls name on it as well.
"Cinder didn't make it did she"eria asked as emerald just looked down rubbing her eyes. A small tear welled up but she sniffed wiping it away.
"Yeah…at least…she with her mom now"emerald replied as mercury looked down at the ground.
Eria sighed as she kept scrolling through the names on the list. She noticed that neptune made it out which was great. Patching up their friendship after that nasty breakup was great. Along with that his team made it out. Along with that she noticed Zephyra Gale made it as well.
Which meant perun didn't lose two of his teammates. Though she also looked for jaune and the others. They made it as well so that meant ren and nora are still alive. But then she looked at weiss wondering if her team made it out. Eria scrolled down and then looked noticing that yang and ruby did make it. But blake was missing along with that she noticed onxyia was as well.
"Wait…why are blake and onxyia presumed missing?"eria questioned
Winter sighed heavily"because last I saw them was they were on a truck out of the city to get medical aid"winter answered
Eria looked nervous about that hoping her partner didn't die from bleeding out. She hoped that onxyia was alright but a thought also slipped her mind. That she was dealing with the guily of zane death the most right now since they loved each other. The same went for velvet who must be hurt as well.
"How bad was it?"eria questioned not really wanting to hear it.
Winter hesitated to answer but weiss was the one to answer for her.
"Eria…blake…lost her right arm….adam took it"weiss answered as she looked down sadden by that.
"How…how would you know that?"eria questioned
"I told her. I was in the truck with her, onxyia and your leader"perun answered looking away.
Along with that eria quickly glanced at the list seeing something that was strange. On zane name it read persumed dead bodie not found.
"Wait it says persumed dead on zane?"Eria questioned
"Yeah we thought he might have made it out too but…you two know that aint true"mercury replied as weiss nodded
Though this made eria a little curious what happened to him if perun saw that clown last. She hoped he was okay before adder killed him.
"But if he was with you why'd didn't he go in the truck? Was onxyia okay?"eria questioned
Jaki sighed rubbing his eyes as winter looked at the ground closing her eyes. She knew why he went back into that city along with telling her where they might be. Perun just placed a hand on her holding it tight as eria looked a little concerned.
"He…he literally was barley hanging on out their. Me, him and ame ran into that nevermore grimm knight. "Perun started as he visible shook a little because that women was pure nightmares. She kept clawing and attacking them, shrugging off her injuries like they were nothing.
"She banged us up pretty bad with some Ace ops helping us. Though some old guy killed her then we ran into velvet with two of her teammates. Along with yang, blake and onxyia, your partner was saved…but she probably at some hospital in vale"perun continued as he took a deep breath.
He didn't wanna tell her what her leader looked like last time but she had to know.
"And…he did come with us in the truck but…i'm sorry…he was a goner"perun added which made eria go wide eyed from that.
"What do you mean by that?"eria questioned
Winter cleared her throat"from what I recall your friend kept coughing up blood. He suffered several injuries on his boide being cuts, brusies and so with that he seemed to have used several of his supresants to just keep moving."winter replied
Weiss went a little wide eyed by that because she didn't know that it was that with eria who just wondered what exactly happened while she was with ruby and weiss.
"But why didn't he go in the truck with blake and the others?"weiss questioned
Jaki sighed" He went back in the city for you sweetie"jaki said to his daughter as eria looked done upset a little by that news. That meant he came back to make sure she got out, which meant he died while searching the city.
Eria sniffed a little rubbing her eyes"could I see…the message he left?"Eria asked because she wondered what he left.
Though soon enough the door could be heard being opeend from the front. Then she looked to see her mother their with thetis niko their along with jaune which was a surprsie to see him here.
Jaune smiled at her for a moment before turning to frown. Eria shared this looking down but was happy he was alive actually. Soon enough he came over hugging her as she returned it. They soon separated as thetis was next who hugged her and she repeated the process.
"It great to see you awake"theits said as she took a seat next to her
"Same here"perun added with a smile on his face.
"Its great to see you too miss nikos"eria greeted sadly.
Eria thought about how she might be grieving for pyrrha death still along with jaune. She misses pyrrha deeply still and can't believe she got taken away still. Though she also sat their listening for a bit still in shock from today.
Though her sister soon spoke up catching her attention
"Hey jaune"rogue said getting her along with the others attention in the room.
"Yeah rogue?"jaune answered as eira looked at him.
He had a large sheet in his hands that seemed to be bundling a little. This made her curious what he was carrying extctly and just sat their listening for a perun was by her side holding her left hand as she returned it.
"Whats with the giant sheet?"rogue questioned
Jaune stood their for a second before he set the sheet down on the table. Then he began to unfrel it and revealed two familiar items to everyone. Their on the sheet was Pyrrha sword Milo and her Sheild Akouo. Along with her circlet.
Eria went wide eyed right now seeing that he had her weapons. Which also make her curious why he had them in the first place. Though a ringing noise could be heard as she thought about how she saw pyrrha last.
Her falling from the top of beacon tower as she rushed to save her. But rosemary shattered her aura on impact. Then the next thing she knows is that she felt a sharp pain on her right leg. After that she relized rosemary cut her right leg off but couldn't exactly recalled what happened after that.
As she sat their for a bit soon enough she snapped out of it as she heard thetis talk but still had a thousand yard stare.
"I do, but pyrrha would have wanted him or you two to have it"thetis said motioing toward the hayley sisters.
"Thats very sweet of you thetis"calida replied as the red head nodded
"Yes, its nice to have something to remind you of those you lost"jaki added as he looked toward the mantle in the home where something hang. Though eria wasnt really paying attention right now still upset about all the friends she lost deaths. Along with her lsot of limp right now, though perun noticed this.
He quickly tapped her on the shoulder which got her attention as she looked up at thetis.
"Yes um thank you miss nikos"eria thanked her as she kept staring at the ground.
Soon enough rogue decided to ask another question to jaune it seems.
"Jaune why did you bring them here?"rogue asked
Eria watched as jaune slowly walked over with both weapons in hand as he walked over to her he did something unexpected as he knelt down on one knee presenting milo and akouo to her. Rogue seemed shocked about this and so was she.
"Pyrrha cared about you two alot, since she gone and she left me these. I want you to help memorilize her where shes by my side at all times. Along with giving you something to remeber her by"jaune said as he presented the items in front of her.
Eria smiled a little at that because she did care about pyrrha they were like sisters at this point. They helped each other out through tough times throughout their lives. Along with that she didn't view them with prejudice like others did because of her uncle dravan.
She looked at her sister who placed a hand on akuou staring at it. Then looked up at jaune and noticed she was staring at his shield. Rogue smiled a little nodding to jaune.
"I'll get started on these soon…leave your shield too. I'll work on that as well"Rogue said with confidence as Jaune nodded to her. He removed his shield as Rogue looked at her reflection smiling a little. Then jaune follow her as her and him went upstairs it seems.
After that maybe for five minutes right now thetis was just walking to eria seeing if she was alright.
"Its great to see you awake dear"thetis said again
"Thetis you said that already"calida replied as thetis sighed with a small smile.
"I know…but i'm happy some of us didn't lose their children"thetis said sadly.
Perun looked at the ground sighing rubbing his eyes"yeah well…umm eria"perun said
"Um what do you need?"eria replied looking at him with a sadden expression still.
"Later after the um message from your leader. Would you like to vist their graves"perun asked hestianting it seems.
Eria face sank a little because that mean they probably just had the funeral right after the fall happened. With a heavy sigh eria answered him tighting her hand on his.
"Yes…when did the service happen?"eria questioned.
"It was yesterday dear, we buired the two on the same day'calida answered as she had a small cup of tea in hand. She was sitting on the couch with her daughter while thetis sat next to her. Weiss was siting in a chair close by ringing her hand together.
"Yes, pyrrha is buried close to her father. Probably telling him all about her time at Beacon."thetis said as she rubbed a small tear away from her eye.
"Its okay thetis…were here for you"calida reassured the women.
But eria was a little curious about the mysterious message from her leader. She just hoped it wasn't something bad. Eria hesitantly grabbed her scroll looking at it as she opened it. Then she went to the messages as she stared at the last one from him saying goodbye.
Perun noticed her wanting to watch it as he sighed placing a hand on her shoulder.
"You don't need to watch if you want"perun said
'Yeah…it be better if you didn't see in my opinion"mercury said which made eria curious how bad this was. Along with weiss who gently walked over taking a seat next to perun as she sat on the armrest.
"no…I wanna hear what he said"Eria said as perun nodded. He grabbed the scroll as he placed it infront of them. Though calida seemed interested because she only heard of the video from her husband how upsetting it was.
"Might as well maybe it was his goodbye"weiss suggested with a small smile.
Eria smiled a little but still was upset hearing that he died. But she could hear him call her princess ice queen one last time maybe.
Perun took a deep breath as he pressed the play button on the video. Soon enough it came to life as the video played out. Eria soon saw a familair face on their but quickly turned to dread a little. Because his armor looked destroyed, along with his clothing being torn up with several bruise and cuts being shown.
"Hey guys its me the lovable joksteer of Team ZERO and leader of said team. You may be wondering why I'm sending you this message. Dammit this is going to be tough"Zane voice echoed as she heard a sigh and deep breath.
Weiss looked at this a little scared because it looked like he was on the verge of death right now. Thetis looked over at the girl who was just stunned right now. Though it seemed her daughter and jaune were friends with him it seems.
The video continued to play out more showing what else he had to say.
"You see after today with what….I did to Penny. I couldn't stop thinking about what I did to her. I felt…guilt, shame, regret and fear at the same time. I have her blood on my hands….and everytime I close my eyes now I see her bloody dead lifeless body"Zane echoed with regret in his voice.
Winter closed her eyes because the last time he saw him was someone who was scared. Though she worried how weiss would react to this hoping it wouldn't affect looked at eria concerned wondering if she'll be okay.
Calida sighed heavily because she seemed to have regret about something it seems. The women glanced at her husband who had a soft expression on his just watched seeing the clown of her team actually sending something like this to them
"So the reason I'm sending this message to you all is because I don't…deserve to be your friend or someone special to two of you"Zane's voice echoed
Eria just frowned at that part because he meant her partner onxyia. She didn't want it to continue but she wanted to see if he left anything specifically to their video kept going on for a bit more.
"Everytime i'm in that form….my mind isn't right. I…lose control…and everytime I turn into that monstrous form. I almost killed someone…and now that it finally happened…..i'm scared. If that happens again I'm scared… I could kill one of you"Zane voice continued as zane shifted to his slasher then goliath form. Then he grabbed his side in pain coughing.
Eria heavily sighed as a small tear welled up in her eyes"what is he talking about?"calida questioned
"He's talking about his semblance"eria simpyl answered with sadness in her throat.
"Yes but what does he mean by a monster form?"thetis questioned a little as jaki shared it.
Mercury rubbed the back of his head"umm well you see if he doesn't take some meds he loses controls. Then he…well…turns all grimm"mercury answered
"That still doesn't explain that him saying almost…did this happened before?"calida quesitoned as perun paused the video
Eria looked down as she gripped perun hand right taking a quivered breath"yes…but…but he wasn't in control. A man by the name of watts…control him with mental suggestion"eria answered
"That still doens't excuse the fact he almost killed you"jaki added a little anger which was understandable.
"But how exactly did you break him out of it before?"weiss questioned a little confused because they never mentioned it.
"His cousin…vance…helped him before he did it. But he told us he blocked the one…that make him kill someone"eria said as her voice almost broke. She was just upset right now seeing him like that. Him and her did fight sometimes but it hurt seeing him like that.
"Maybe he missed one"emerald said sadly looking away.
Eria looked at the video play button wanting to see what else he had to say because it was getting close to the end. Eria hestiantly pressed the play button as the video resumed for them to watch. Though she didn't like what she heard and saw next.
That's why….i'm staying in Vale. I helped cause this mess, might as well help fix it. You may think I'm coming back…but I won't be. I know….I know you're all going to try and save my ugly mugg from dying. "Zane's voice echoed, sounding scared with labored with a coughing fit being heard.
Though eria just gasped a little as she covered her mouth at what she saw. She shook her head seeing him cough up blood which meant he was already dying while sending this.
Weiss shivered a little from that"that..was that blood?"weiss asked as perun face srucnhed up nodding.
Calida looked a little surprised at this then just sighed in regret it seems. She rubbed her forehead it seems as jaki sat down. Thetis was a little surprised by this because that deifntily wasn't good.
"That…that isn't good…he..he punctured his lungs. Why didn't he go with them?"Eria questioned, her voice slgihtly breaking. She found a small interest in medicine since she had to patch up rogue from her sparring session with pyrrha in the past.
"He wanted to make sure you all got out"jaki answered sadly as eria just looked at the video as it continued
But don't….just leave me to do something right for once. Although I guess I won that bet mom…I don't gotta run around remnant naked. "Zane said but eria chuckled a little as a tear slide down her cheek. Perun paused the video as she just shook her head.
"Seriosuly…even on his last legs…he has to throw in some dumb joke"eria softly said covering her eyes
Mercury chuckled"better than yang jokes at least…sort of"mercury added
"He did give you the title of princess ice queen"weiss mentioned softly but looked at the video with worrie and sorrow in her eyes
Calida looked at her duaghter who sometimes didn't even show emotion is showing alot of it right now. Maybe her daughters seemed to find some great friends while they were their.
"Well…does that mean shes the ice queen"calida asked softly gesturing toward weiss who nodded
Winter sighed"pretty sure that title belong to me though you are the heiress to it"Winter joked a little to weiss surprise. But it quickly turned to sadness as the video continued.
"Though if you were watching you saw what they did to me there. They…tore something out of me..or put something in their.I might as well get more secrets out…i've tried to off myself several times before this. To end this cycle of pain….or prevent me from killing someone due to that bastard watts controling me"zane voice echoed as they kept listening.
A few of them went wide eyed at that part because it seemed some of them heard only part of it. Along with that eria just sighed heavily leaning back in her spot. Because when she saw him try to shot himself in the arena it was troubling.
"That doesn't seem alright. Are you sure your friend wasn't suffering from depression?"thetis asked
"We don't know he always just…joked around like he was happy"emerald replied
"Uhh you mean how he tried to throw himself off a ledge when he lost control that one time"mercury reminded about the time him and emerald jumped him thinking he stole neo necklace.
"Okay…maybe we should stop this"Calida said reaching for the scroll. But eria grabbed it looking at her mother. The two exchanged glance because she wanted to see what he had to say about them.
"I wanna see if he left anything for…us"Eria replied as she continued to watch the video. While weiss sat by sielntly watching the video play out. But the next thing eria was going to hear would make her regret listening to the rest of it.
"Though I gotta apolgize to three people, especially with some words of wisdom. Eria, watch out for your sister out there. Also in my opinion you're always the cool and level headed one of the team. You don't show it but…I know you care for us. You'll be a great leader in my steed"Zane voice echoed
Then as she heard that she quickly turned the scroll off. She gently placed it on the table going wide eyed. He just said she was the leader of the team, she may have taken the role sometimes. But not like this, not with him dying.
Eria couldnt helped but just stare at the ground as tears began to escape her eyes. The emotionless girl was upset right now, that he was gone. Perun noticed her crying as he just gently wrapped an arm around her hugging her.
"That dumb clown…why did he have to do that….why?"Eria questioned
"I don't know, it seems he wanted to protect you all from him."jaki replied because it did seem like that but he thought what both his daughters are going through right now.
"Hey, he thought what he was doing was right. If that watts guy got control of him again. "Emerald begun as she sighed
"That if it did happen that he killed one of you….he'd never forgive himself. He couldn't risk it happening."emerald added on.
Eria couldn't help but choke back a sob right now as she shook her head. She just leaned into peruns shoulder crying her eyes out right now.
"He could have been still alive…if he just went with ace ops"eria said
Though winter looked at her sighing at what would happen if he went with ace ops. Because the atlas sepcialist knew ironwoods protocols all to well for any situation.
"Yes, but your friend wouldn't have been treated like a prisoner their."Winter said which caught some attention it seems.
"What do you mean by that?"Weiss asked confused
"Ironwood said that we were to detain him and lock him up like before. In simply terms he be locked up like a wild animal. "Winter replied
She could hide it but they all seem to know plenty of the little secret atlas was hiding it seems. Along with that her little sister seems to trust them and she might as well this seemed to piss mercury off a little.
"So your saying the guy would have been locked up like some exhibit at the zoo"mercury said
"Yes, though right now I need to return to Atlas command right now. I'm going to head back to your home Thetis to pack up. Weiss, mother will be here in a couple weeks to pick you up"winter said
This surprised a few of them right now that weiss wasn't going back with her. Though eria was still crying her eyes out right now as she buried her face into perun shoulder. The guitarist just hugged her comforting her right now.
Weiss stood up walking toward her older sister with she thought she'd head back with her for Atlas.
"Your not taking me back?"weiss questioned confused by this.
Winter looked at weiss before walking over to her younger sister before placing a hand on her shoulder.
"No, mother wants to personally see if your alright. Along with Whitley and Wren, i'll be seeing you. My ship leaves tonight."Winter said as she looked at thetis who nodded. Soon enough she got up as her, weiss and winter left the hayley residents.
Calida looked at her daughter who was just hugging perun close like a safety blanket. The hayley mother walked over hugging her daughter reassuring her that everything will be okay. While jaki sighed heavily because he has something planned for his daughter when she woke up. Right now eria was upset about the lose of her leader. But also her other friends that she lost in the past four days
It seems eria heard the last message from her leader and now shes the team leader now. Along with it seems jaune has a request for rogue to make some weapons for him. Will she be able to fill it? Till next chapter
