Hey, I'm not dead and neither is this story. I'm a bit rusty doing this again so I gotta get back into the swung of things. Still not computer so typed off the phone. Enjoy the chapter and try to make a guess of who Rosa is based on. I was kinda lazy so I grabbed a female character who seemed interesting.

Anyway, enjoy the next chapter of Little Arc which has been months since I touched it.

The air had a foul odor as Rosa walked the streets of Vale, she pushed up her glasses as her hair was waving behind her tied up in a bun nice and tight so not to get in her way. She dressed in a nice white jacket as a black top was underneath, her pants black as they went up to the top of her ankle as the black heels clicked along the sidewalk. Ever since getting off the ship she detested the place in its current state, she remembered when this part of Vale was so vibrant and filled with life.

Granted most of that life was poor saps who had too much money and didn't know what to do with it. 'Businesses' springing up of bars and clubs which drew in many suckers who left with empty pockets. She worked at many places during that time as security or 'entertainment' for the guests at the cabaret clubs, a simple flash of a smile and some sweet talk and men just threw their money away buying drinks and spending more time with her. When she wasn't doing her real business other days.

She obviously didn't mind the lien filling her pockets every night from those saps, only hassle about it was when they got grabby after a few too many or just had big egos. She had to break her little act and toss their asses out which still earned her a bonus, but not as much for when she got some sap with deep pockets filled with lien. But she did meet her husband like that when they were young, like a lost puppy following her around.

She left those thoughts for later as she stood in front of a bar that an old friend of her used to own, she hadn't heard from him in over twenty-three years. Last she heard he passed from 'natural causes' and his son took over. She remembered the little brat who had the nerve to curse at her, luckily she educated him on being respectful to his elders.

Rosa pushed the door open and stopped as she looked at the empty bar, it was only seven in the morning which was when the bar was closed. The only people seen was two girls and a bunch of guys all wearing suits that were exactly the same with black and red - real creative. She took a step in and let the door close as she walked towards the bar ignoring every worker that looked at her or watched her as she walked. She could feel the looks coming from the two girls; twins from where she could see them now, only difference they had was the color and how their outfits looked.

'Look like they should be working in a whore house. Honestly, girls, these days have no such thing as class, all of them, harpies. Especially June.' She stood at the bar as she took her seat where the bartender was currently under moving bottles or whatever as the sound of glass clinking could be heard. Rosa reached her hand to the bar and tapped her nail against the hard surface which got his attention.

"I'll be with you in a minute." He spoke out as the sound gotten more frequent, she tapped her nail again which earned a growler from him as he was starting to get annoyed.

"I said I will be with you in a second." His voice getting much more aggressive as she sat there feeling every set of eyes on her except for the ones she needs. Rosa balled up her fist and slammed it down onto the counter making him slam his head against the bottom from surprise.

"Ah! Fucking shit!" He yelled as he quickly got up from the ground probably angry.

"I said I would be with you in fucking," As he stood up holding the back of his head the words that had been filled with fire and anger was quickly extinguished by fear.

"Hello, Hei Xiong," Rosa watched as he was frozen in place, his hands shaking the smallest amount as she sat there watching him. She began to solely tap her nail against the counter as her smile formed.

"Aren't you going to say hello, boy?" She questioned making him flinch from the tone of her voice which she knew he feared.

"H-hello R-Rosa…" Hei's voice cracked as he stood with his back straight and proper posture now. He then held his hand up making some kind of gesture which made her look in that direction, her head moved to the right slightly as in the corner of her eye she saw the two girls walking away after turning around. Smart.

Luckily Hei was smart and knew who she was almost instantly, shell even forgive him for cursing at her. Though that won't happen again, she only gives forgiveness once. That itself was very rare.

"Good, nice to see you still have some manners since we last met."

"Apologies, how can I help you?" Hei asked her as she reached into her blouse and pulled out a photo, she placed it down on the table and slide it over to him before grabbing a bottle of scotch and a glass. He gave her ice knowing from the past as she poured herself a drink and he looked at the picture.

"It's...a kid?" He was confused from the look she saw on him, he picked up her glass and took a sip of the amber liquid before she put it down.

"Yes, a kid,"

"I thought you hated kids?"

"I used you, but my heart changed."

"Doesn't seem like much." He muttered and she reached back grabbing her weapon and pulling it out placing it on the counter.

"What was that?" She watched him cough taking a step back as he ushered his men to stay away.

"N-nothing Rosa, just me saying nonsense!"

"Good. Now I need to know where that boy is."

"Uh, look I know my father was your information broker, but I only stay with the underworld crowd so I can't do much," Hei explained to her as she kept sipping her drink.

"I don't care about your little excuses or pathetic whining. There have been some incidents around Vale and I know you checked into them. Have to be in the know and listen down the grapevine about everything." Rosa watched him take a breath to calm his nerves.

"Alright. There have been some incidents around Vale, some kid getting thrown off the docks, two guys being chased through the streets and a bunch of other things that don't make any sense. But at almost all of those things, he was there." Hei pointed at her grandson in the photo.

"Ever since that blonde kid showed up and started walking around Vale all hell has broken loose. When he showed up a bunch of Hunters in training showed up and started causing a ruckus. Then some atlas soldiers running around in some panic." Hei put his head into his arms groaning. "Causing so much trouble that no business has been running lately. Every criminal and scumbag has taken to going underground until all this stuff cools down."

"Hm, yes, that certainly sounds like him." She remembered the disaster her grandson caused. She didn't have any hand in that as some accused it of a curse, but it was more of an Arc thing. Or maybe it was just how Jaune was when he was little, it always made things I interesting as he was never hurt. It was never a boring time with her grandson.

"So...is that it?" Hei asked as Rosa finished her drink placing twenty lien on the counter.

"For now, I do expect more from you if needed, Hei." She stood up from the counter grabbing her gun, it went back into her bag as she turned away and walked to the door.

"Check on anything else while I'm gone Hei, I will be back eventually as you took up your father's debt when he passed." The sound of Hei's skull hitting the counter made her smile as she pulled out a stick with a candy rose on the end. It was small as she placed it in her mouth to curb her sweet tooth. Looks like she's gonna have to take a little 'walk' through the everfree to see her grandson.

"So…hey…I'm Yang." She greeted one of the sisters as she scratched the back of her head sitting at the table with her team and the rest of NPR. The Arc family was across from them enjoying lunch after Ozpin has his little break down in his office refusing to leave his green bubble. They were stuck here due to the airships suddenly all being taken down due to technical difficulties which no one knew when they would be fixed.

The entire group was awkward seeing the whole family which consisted of blondes each a different height and personality. The entire atmosphere was heavy and people nearby felt it getting nervous and leaving while some braved to stay like Coco's team who was at a nearby table. Their biggest member was as silent as ever but he silently wished to leave feeling the heavy silence, but his leader was a strong-willed woman who would not leave.

Jaune himself was preoccupied with a coloring book his mother had given him to play with as she didn't want him wandering off again. It was such a hassle to get him when he runs off that it's easier to keep him preoccupied with anything that caught his interest.

"Hey, say something to her." Yang nudged Weiss with her elbow as she saw the look in momma Arc's eyes as she was petting Jaune on his head. It was a happy look but when she looked at someone else she had a glare filled with anger and hate that made a chill run down their spine. Weiss cleared her throat as she fixed her posture to speak with the woman.

"Hello, I am,"

"I know who you are, and I know that you're a Schnee," June spoke out as Weiss suddenly felt seven pairs of eyes look at her as she looked to see each of the Arc sisters looking at her with a subtle glare. The two oldest looking at her with the most subtle as one was tapping her knife against the plate of food as the other was playing with her nails that were filed sharp. The rest had been less subtle with their glares as the youngest had the angry glare expected with a child. The rest all had weapons being different in their work rather than being just huntsmen.

"So, I would like you to tell me how my baby boy was turned into a child. I don't like being lied to." June spoke out calmly as she kept holding her son never looking up at the heiress.

"U-uh y-you see…" Weiss tried to say something anything to give her an answer. She had nothing to say as she felt the glares from seven angry girls then the anger coming off of the mother who was only inches away.

"It was a complete account that no one could have expected!" Nora shouted fast as she didn't want to be glared at by them.

"I see an accident which no one could have suspected. So that means it could have been avoided?" She questioned as the anger around her seemed to get stronger. "But there's nothing that can be done now, we will be taking jaune home once the airships are functional," June stated as Pyrrha passed out falling out of her seat.

"What!? You can't do that, he's our friend!" Nora yelled as she didn't want her friend to leave her and everybody else.

"Yeah, we can get him back to normal, it could even wear off anytime now!" Ruby didn't want to lose her best friend and never be able to see him again.

"I can and will be taking my son with us back home. Due to this incident, he is defenseless against Grimm and other students who could hurt him in an accident. I couldn't risk such a thing happening to my baby boy." June stated as she pulled out the papers of his removal from beacon.

"Yeah, can't have him getting hurt cause someone started some fight or doing something stupid," Athena said as she rubbed her brother's hair messing it up a bit and making him laugh as he colored.

"If this dust doesn't wear off then he's gonna have to completely restart his whole childhood."

"It sucks because he'll never remember all the stuff we did growing up together, but we can go ahead and make new ones with him," Angela stated as she put her for down passing get tray away.

"But…" Nora tried to say something, anything to try and convince them not to take Jaune.

"Nora, they're his family. There's nothing we can do if it's been decided then that's it." Ren told her playing a hand on her shoulder. She sat down looking at her hands sadly.

"But, we're also his family…" She quietly said to herself holding back tears. She gripped her skirt shaking a bit as Jaune looked up to see how she was feeling. Jaune tilted his head as he was dressed back into his mini uniform which he wore when first turned into this. As he looked at her his eyes shined a bit before he climbed out of his mom's lap and down under the table.

"Jaune, what are you," June questioned as she felt Jaune moving around climbing off her lap and going under the table. He crawled under and then up to Nora's legs where he looked up at her. She was surprised as he started climbing up into her lap and giving her a hug.

"It's okay, Nora," Jaune spoke as he hugged her making everyone shocked.

"J-Jaune?" Ruby asked as she looked at him, his eyes glowing slightly before they stopped. He let go of the hug and sat in her lap smiling now as Nora hugged him.

"Yes?" He asked hearing his name being called. He looked at Ruby who had wide eyes.

"D-do you know us?" She asked as he looked at them all.

"No." He simply said before June stood up from her seat.

"Alright, that's enough. Jaune, come to momma." She said as Nora hugged him tighter.

"Jaune still has good memories! We just need to help pull them back!" She quickly said.

"That doesn't matter, he would still be in the body of a child and that is too dangerous." She was about to grab Jaune from Nora until some noise was heard.

"Is that a Grimm?" Blake suddenly said as she heard the rapid sound of claws drawing closer and closer to the cafeteria. There were some sudden sounds of screams as it was even closer.

"Oh no." June heard the sound coming closer until it stopped and everything was quiet. Then what sounded like heels clicking were coming as the Arc family turned looking at the doors waiting for exactly who they knew it was.

The doors flew open as a woman walked in with her hands on her hips as she looked at the very table everyone was sat.

"What are you girls doing here? Were you hiding something from me?" She questioned as the Arc sisters all stayed frozen in their seats. The only one moving was June who got up from her seat, anger boiling even more as she saw the woman standing in the doorway.

"Who is she?" Yang asked whispering to Blake as Jaune moved in Nora's lap to look at the new visitor. He gasped smiling as he pointed at the woman before waving at her, his excitement grew even more.

"Hi, Grandma!" He yelled happily making some of the people still there spit out food or drink as they just heard what was yelled.

"Bullshit!" Someone yelled at her appearance before being stuck in the head with a butter knife. Athena put her hand down staying silent.

"Hello, my darling grandbaby. How are you?" She smiled looking at Jaune who laughed happy to see his grandma. Rosa suddenly lifted her leg and caught the blade which came for her. She smiled looking back at June who was glaring at her. Her heel making some sparks from the hatchet.

"Ah, hello June. Still hot-tempered as ever." She smirked as the Arc sisters got up from the table and grabbed Nora who still had Jaune out fast.

"Hey!" She yelled in protest still not letting go of Jaune.

"You'll thank us," Ellen said as they went outside. The teams following as Rosa reached back and pulling out two of her guns.

"Still ugly I see," Rosa said still holding the blade with her heel.

"Witch," June growled as she reached back grabbing her other ax which was in its travel form. She flipped the switch and it began to open up and extend into another hatchet.

"Run!" Students ran for the door while surprisingly Yatsu was the one who jumped out one of the windows. He proceeded to get up and run away with both Coco and Velvet under his arms as Fox followed quick. Murderous aura filling the entire area.

"Let's dance shall we?" Rosa locked her guns smiling.
