Blake returned to her dorm early. Since today was the last day of the semester all they could say was "Let's go celebrate." They were planning on heading out and staying in a motel that night. She was tasked to get the fifth and what could be argued as their sixth member. She walked up to the door and knocked on the door.

"Filia, Samson, You two in there?" She spoke calmly listening in to see if there were any noise. All she could hear was Filia's radio playing loudly. She opened the door to see the window in her small room open. Blake's eyes widened as she searched the room using tricks she had learned from the White Fang. She quickly dug through the papers on her desk looking for an answer. As she did the radio in the room began to get a very strong amount of interference. Blake turned and slowly approached it. It was an old looking device it was decorated with wood finishes and metal casings it was an antique to say the least. "(must remind her of home.)" she thought to herself continuing the search.

"That is where I think we need to start look…, Blake?" Filia's voice came from behind her. "Is there something wrong?" She saw that she was scavenging the documents that were on her desk. "Oh, yeah I guess I have not taken decent care of my old homework assignments." She said slightly embarrassed.

"Where were you?" Blake said sternly with her. "I thought something bad happened to you." Filia as she listened went to close the window. She finally noticed she was in a bathrobe "Oh right, you tend to shower at night because of Samson." She saw Samson still gazing at her half amused. She never fully understood Samson nor New Meridian. Samson to her was just a sentient Grimm and it wouldn't surprise her if others have mistaken him for it. As for the fabled city of New Meridian Filia clearly was proof of this other worlds existence on her own from the way she dresses to some of the slang she occasionally used. She remembered when Yang talked about taking her to a Theater to have her mistake it for theatricals. Movie theaters where she is from simply went by movie houses. Her eyes memory came back to her "Oh right, the rest of our team is heading into town for the night are you interested in joining us on the town."

Filia looked at Samson who seemed rather gung ho. Herself however, was more concerned regarding everything. "Sorry I think I'll be a little busy to join you this evening." She gave an apologetic tone as she spoke. "Something came up that I need to look into." Blake tilted her head confused. "The day you went to the harbor and Ruby and her friend saved you and the blonde teen I saw something terrifying."

"I know you should be concerned about the white fang but they won't do anything for some time." Blake said reassuringly.

Filia looked at her still relieved though troubled. "While it is good to hear that they are not what concerns me." Blake looked cautiously. Filia sighed as she got up and faced away from Blake for Samson to talk for her. There have been a few moments where she has done this in the past after she introduced him most notably when discussing New Meridian.

"What the kid is trying to say is we think someone else from our world is here." Samson spoke up. Blake has observed Samson for a while and she has noticed he has changed a little. Despite how he was when they first meant he is rather different instead of being a form of aggressive instigator he now was friendly with those around him. Provided his host trusted you or vice versa. "Long story short the if it's the person we think it is Vale as well as the rest of this world may be in trouble." His voice broke Blake's observant thoughts on the hair monster.

"How?" Blake watched Samson's rather change in presence. Samson while laying still in the mop of Filia's hair. He didn't change positions just mildly adjust his jaw if needed. He is not known for tensing up but before he began to explain why he was stiff.

Samson sighed as he looked back toward Filia who was eyeing him as well. "Look, you know how Filia first made me hide underneath the baller hat when you two first meant?" Blake nodded to his question. "Well, hiding isn't exactly an uncommon practice where we are from." Filia nodded a knowledge his concern. "Truth is the person that we believe followed us is almost as old as I am. Back those times Parasites were not as feared as we are now until she came along." Samson's tone darkened as he spoke catching even Filia off guard since he was normally not the opening sorts. "Back then she went by Neferu or more commonly The Crimson Scourge."

Blake looked at the anger that was building in his eyes but it was not from what became of them or at least most of his rage. "a few decades ago I had a close run in with the bitch. Wanting my abilities, she offered her as a superior host. I refused because of what she did to our kind." Samson was clearly getting emotional almost the exact opposite clenching his jaw shut trying to fight what could be called sorrow back. "She killed her just so I could infect her." Filia looked just as surprised as Blake listening to his story. "Since then I have vowed revenge for the sake of Delilah."

Blake stood there melancholic from his tale. Granted, he went off track from his original reason as to why they could not join the rest of RWBY in town tonight. Samson may not have been a very talkative person unless threating someone or trying to give Filia guidance but he clearly had his own values. "I'm sorry to hear it." She spoke softly "Listen, you're not alone anymore. You have friends to help back you up when needed." Blake in her mind was kicking herself for not following her own guidance the last week she has been up searching for evidence to suggest the White Fang's next move is.

Filia turned around as Samson began to calm himself. "I guess you're right." She spoke rather cautious. She looked at the room as her radio filled the in the noise of the background. Filia got up after Samson seemed to be done venting, or at least to a point where he wouldn't attack someone in public like he was known to do. "We need to get a move on the last Blimp for the night will be leaving soon." She began to get up and gather a few simple items and stuff them into the dingy messenger bag she had when she first arrived.

Blake stared at her "Bullhead, the flying ships are called Bullheads."

"Oh"

The two made their way to out to catch the last bullhead off Beacon to the small harbor town that was close by.

Vale harbor town

Roman was walking through the back Alleys trying to find places for his next big score for the White Fang. He felt his scroll ring though suddenly as he reached into his coat pocket to pull out his scroll device. He answered his phone "Hello who is this?" He asked hesitantly.

"Roman Darling, are you open this evening?" It was Eliza her usual voice suggested that she seemed to have something important to discuss.

"Wha- Eliza? How the hell did you get this number?" Roman demanded his answer sternly confused as to how she was able to.

Eliza was laughing on the other end of the phone seems like his reaction was amusing her. "Come now, you really think I wouldn't be able to find your number that easy?" She was clearly in a playful mood to many in this line of work they would take her as a red flag. However Roman having witnessed her abilities up close decided that it would be a good idea to hear her out. "Now are you able to come or will I have to drag you to the meeting place." her tone came out more threatening this time.

Roman sighed as he looked at the moon "Why do I get the crazy ones?" he mumbled to himself before placing the phone next to his ear "Yes I'm available tonight but it is a short window however so whatever it is please be quick." He heard her gasp in a rather excited tone.

"Marvelous darling meet me behind junior's nine, Wadeaan" With that she hung up. Roman massaged his temples confused to what she just said.

He checked the clock to see the time eight fifth teen "Great, there goes my plans." He sighed as he went to meet up with this mystery of a woman. As he walked away he began to think on everything that he has encountered thus far. First there was Cinder a mystery in herself but her money was good so it did not matter. The kid in Red who seems to be more than capable despite being nothing but a huntress in training. Finally, there was Eliza who gave Cinder a run for her money in the enigma that she created for herself. "I got to warn her." he said slightly concerned. he looked back down at the scroll and went to what appeared to be a dummy number. He waited for it to ring as it did he continued walking. suddenly it finished ringing all he heard was a faint breathing She wasn't much of a phone talker. "Hey it's me, I got bad news. I won't be able to make it." Even with no face he could feel her angered eyes on the back of his head. "There was an unexpected visit. It's complicated." She hung up on him as he walked into the main road heading toward Junior's bar.

What felt like hours passed before he finally arrived at the small underground bar. he walked toward the alley as he looked for Eliza. to his surprise, she was lounging in what looked to be a fancy sofa. "AH, Darling you've arrived." She was still ecstatic though Roman knew that it was part of her rouse.

"Look I missed an important meeting because of you, so THIS had better be worth it" Roman spoke angered at the woman still not ware if any move may be his last.

"My, my aren't we fussy today. Alright I'll keep it quick. If I'm guessing correctly your chance to get what I ask is coming real soon." She calmly said as she pulled a map of the city from her dress. Roman opened it to see she had a small alley that opened into a small lot in the commercial district. he looked back at her. "Before you ask I don't know when. Call it a good hunch." Roman rolled his "the people in on the other side of the gate will be quite dangerous I wager I'd advise you approach cautiously."

"How do you propose I do that?" Roman snapped her again. She smiled maliciously as he asked

"Simple hire a diversion."

Roman put his hands to his temples annoyed. "I have other clients I need to please I can't wait there until it opens for me."

"Relax baby, I got you. Don't worry about Cinder and her need for dust. I will take care of it personally. All you have to do is do what I asked and I will give you what I promised." She spoke very manipulative.

Roman found it hard to argue with her plan as long Cinder... "(wait)" He looked at her He never said her name around her. "How did you." She cut him off by simply shushing him. "Okay whatever, I'll do it." Eliza grinned menacingly as she walked back into the bar.

Elsewhere

"to our first semester as Team RWBY!" Ruby yelled in the booth her team was sitting in the booth as the others held their fist in the air with enthusiasm. Filia and Blake were late but they held off for them to arrive. "So, order what you want Wiess said she would pay for it." She exclaimed as she pointed at her

"Wha- No I didn't." Wiess spoke up before being out voiced by everyone's enthusiasm. She eyed toward Filia recalling how much food she consumes on average. it was nearly triple everything the average student ate in Nora's case, double. "Filia I'm only paying for one of your meals." Filia nodded she seemed alright with her statement.

"Don't worry Snow White I ate a lot at dinner tonight She'll be hungry though." Samson spoke up grinning even startling the waitress as she walked by. He stayed still when she came by to check if she was seeing things.

After several minutes of talking the waitress came by to grab orders. Ruby it was what Filia could guess to be chicken strips. Wiess a form of salad from the more expensive end of the menu. Yang was rather funny since she ordered what seemed to be Nachos for the table and Steak for herself. Blake was more subtly asking for a form of tuna Filia and Samson never caught on to why she was fond of seafood though Yang threw a few quick jabs gave the two the hints they needed. Filia ordered what she guessed was spaghetti and meatballs. "Is that all?" the waitress asked looking at them

Filia looked at the desert menu then looked back up "I'll have a large mint n cream milkshake." she spoke up catching a portion of the table off guard. "Um put that on a separate check please." She spoke remembering what Wiess said.

the others stared at her curiously. "I never knew you like those." Ruby said looking at Filia

Filia blushed a little "Back in New Meridian there was this dinner I frequented called the Madman's Cafe." She said while sipping some of the water that was in front of her "Place made the best in New Meridian in my opinion used really thick Ice Cream. So, thick it came out like cement sometimes."

Yang looked at her rather concerned "You miss there don't you?" Filia looked at her confused "I get the saying home is where the heart is but why did you come here if you miss the place?"

"Yang." Ruby spoke up since she feared that it was rude to ask. Filia raised her hand as she looked at the two of them.

"It's fine." She spoke calmly "The reason I left New Meridian was not on my own free will." She took another sip. "It was because I was running for my life." Yang and the others except Blake leaned in to hear the story. "The day I first arrived here on Remnant was officially a year I had lost my memories. I encountered someone that I'm certain I never knew but in truth she was from Samson's past."

"Wait You weren't born with him attached to your head?" Yang asked sarcastically which made her get elbowed by Ruby.

"Not even close" Samson spoke up "Blondie I've been around even longer than some of the professors at Beacon could wish to be around for."

Filia nodded as she continued "Turns out the woman was some kind of stalker and had trailed Samson for several hundred years." She spoke trying not to miss a detail. "When she tried to kill me a Ursa came from behind her because of a device that was accidently activated. Samson saw a chance to flee and he took it." She stated calmly.

"Wow" Yang spoke Filia couldn't tell if she is impressed or un impressed. "That is the craziest story I have ever heard."

Wiess nodded "I agree honestly If you did not have Samson I probably wouldn't have believed a single word you said." Filia sighed seeing ow they believed her even if it was literally by a hair. "You think you will ever get back?"

Filia stayed quiet when asked the food just arrived and she didn't want to admit it but she began doubting being able to return. "I hope I can one day. It seems Ozpin is rather interested in seeing this place as well." immediately the others all shot her a glance of surprise

"For real." Ruby spoke first "That sounds awesome to think you are the first one to build relations between two worlds." She was holding in her excitement She began to fear what happened during her first encounter with Oobleck. She would rather not deal with it again.

Suddenly the devices they called scrolls vibrated Filia looked down at hers to see a message came in. She opened it her eyes widened it was her grades for the quarter. She opened it and began to read it. the others did as well.

"Four C's, a B, and a D" Yang spoke up before lowering the device

"Three C's and three B's" Ruby spoke up rather surprised.

"Two B's, two A's, and one C" Blake spoke rather calmly

"Four A's, and two B's" Wiess said smugly

Suddenly all of them glanced at Filia who was hesitant to say anything the four of them ganged up on her and tried to wrestle it out of her hands. It was more difficult to do they forgot that Samson had enhanced her outside of hair manipulation. Yang Finally got a hold of it and opened the device. the four of them read her report card as Filia calmly sulked into the corner embarrassed.

"Let's see what the traveler got." Yang spoke giddily as the other three surrounded her.

Name: Filia/Samson

Team: RWBY (temporary)

From: N/a

Last School: New Meridian High

Grades:

History: F

Hunting: D-

Combat: B-

Weapon training: D+

Basic knowledge: C

Survival: D

Notes: Given Filia's situation many of the grades should not be held against her. It should be noted her teamwork abilities are far above that of a first year and even fully trained hunters and huntresses.

The four of them looked back at her with slight shock. "This has got to be worse than Jaune's grades." Yang said a loud. she looked at Filia "though considering you are not from here you did better than some would have expected."

"You think so?" Filia said nervously

"No, we expect you to know our history since you're from another world." Wiess spoke sarcastically "Course not I doubt I would know anything from your world if our situations were swapped." Blake nodded calmly as Wiess spoke.

"Thanks for being understanding." Filia said relieved.

"Come on," Ruby spoke up. "Let's get checked in for the night."

The others got up after Wiess paid the bill and left for the night.
