(Corps gym, a week after the last chapter)
Jaune and Winter were working out. They had put her through her paces, and she did well. "Good, good!" Said Jaune, Winter was lifting weights and getting stronger. Then she hit the bench, "Okay. We're going to start light." He grabbed some plates, "Let's see. 1000 lbs to start?"
"Let's go 2000." Said Winter.
"Okay," he put an extra 1000 lbs on and she started to lift. "Nice." After their workout, they were ready to spar. They put on striking gloves and mouthpieces, Jaune was in a sleeveless white top, black bike shorts, and shin and ankle guards. Winter wore a white sports bra, frost blue tights, and ice blue hi-tops.
They started to go at it, 'Oh Man! This Is Just Like, Steve And Nat Going At It!' Jaune thought, they were giving as good as they got. This went on for a couple of hours, Joan was there with her scroll out recording the fight. Winter's agility vs Jaune's pure power. They both went for a right cross and connected, both went down not because they knocked each other out, but because they were tired. A couple of members had rushed over to them with water. "I think I created a monster," Jaune said tiredly. Joan went over to him and helped him up after helping Winter up. He took off his gloves and started to wipe himself down with a towel. He was handed a water bottle, drank some, and poured it over his head.
Winter was drinking some water, "you're pretty good Arc." She said.
"And you're pretty quick, Schnee." He said. Joan sent the fight through her 'Quarry' page, basically 'Facebook' for 'Huntsmen' and 'Dusttube' which is 'Youtube'.
"This is going to get a crapton of likes." She said, "My brother fights former Atlas Specialist, and send. Jaune?"
"Yeah Twinsie?"
"Would it be alright if I can get an interview for my podcast?"
"Whenever you want to do it."
"Say after you get cleaned up?" Jaune just shrugged.
"Okay, let me get cleaned up." So he starts to leave the gym. "Hey Winter?" She looked at him, "Great fight." She smiled at him.
(An hour later)
Jaune was now in a T-shirt, jeans, and slippers. He went to where Joan was. "So where are we going to do this?" He asked her, she was now in a black sports bra and jeans.
"In my podcast room." She said and he followed her. He was drinking some water as they walked in.
(Podcast room)
It was huge there was a table in the middle of the room. With mics, a computer setup, chairs, and headsets. They both got into the chairs and put on the headsets. "Mom set this up for you?" Asked Jaune.
"Yeah, and helped me pay for it. Everything in this room is mine."
"Must have cost a pretty penny." She looked at him, "A saying I picked up. Serious Lein." She nodded, so she started the show.
Joan: Hey guys, welcome to 'Joan D Talk'. I am your host, Joan Arc and I am SO Excited Today, my guest was a student at Beacon Huntsmen Academy, he had left to become a legend. Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome my beloved twin brother Jaune Arc.
She pushed a button and there was a cheer. Jaune just chuckled.
Joan: Jaune, thank you for agreeing to do this.
Jaune: Hey, no problem.
Joan: So, it has been Ten Months, since I last saw you, not counting the three we've been together after you came back.
Jaune: Yeah.
Joan: So you want to explain what happened?
Jaune: Well, there was a party going on and it was a costume party. I dressed as one of my favorite characters; Captain Arcadia.
Joan: And your costume became real?
Jaune: Yeah, and I received a ship as well. The only catch was I had to get off the planet within an hour.
Joan: An Hour?
Jaune: Yeah, so I got on the ship and took off.
Then he told her about his adventures from meeting heroes and helping them win wars, to making the corps.
Jaune: So, we were staring down a freaking army. Cap's arm had to be broken, so he sinches up his broken shield and got ready to fight Thanos when he hears Falcon calling him. Just then, golden portals start to open and everybody that had been snapped back shows up and it was game time.
Joan: Wow, and of course, you guys won.
Jaune: Of course, so after we won. We had honored those we lost, and Cap wanted to take back the stones.
Joan: But as usual, you volunteered to take them back.
Jaune: And make a few people happy.
Joan: This is new, how?
Jaune: Well, Steve had a significant other named 'Peggy' Carter. He was totally in love with her, but he saved America and the world.
Joan: And was frozen, right?
Jaune: Right. So, during the time I was returning the stones, I met 'Peggy' and Howard Stark. He was the one who created the Vita-Ray chamber. So, I came up with an idea.
Joan: Let her use the chamber and the formula.
Jaune: Yeah.
Joan: So, you took her with you when you came back?
Jaune: I have never seen anyone so happy to see their loved ones.
Joan: Unless you looked at us or in a mirror.
Jaune: True.
(Later)
After the interview, Jaune relaxed and went through his things. Then he had seen a case, he looked at it. 'Huh?' He thought, he opened it up and what he saw was shocking. "The Power Gauntlet?" He said. It was a big gauntlet, red, gold, and silver. But, it had 6 very powerful gemstones in it. He quickly closed it and locked it up. "I got to get this to Mom." He grabbed the case and started to rush out of his room.
(Outside of Jaune's room)
Jaune rushed out and was about to go to Rachel's office when he ran into Joan. "Where's The Fire?" She said.
"Remember when I told you I had taken the stones back?"
"Yeah." He opened the case. She paled.
"That's…" He closed it.
"Yep."
"How?"
"I don't know but we need to get these somewhere safe."
"That's why you're headed for Mom?"
"Yep," they took off.
(Rachel's office)
Rachel was sitting down relaxing, she had finished some paperwork. There was a knock on the door, "come in." She said so Jaune and Joan walked in, "What's up? How did the interview go?"
"It went well," said Joan. "But, we got something to show you." Jaune opened the case and she saw the gauntlet.
"What is that?"
"The Power Gauntlet, we need to keep this safe somewhere." He said.
"I know just the place." She said, "I have a vault that no one can get into." Jaune closed the case, on it was a scanning machine.
"Before we do, I want to ensure no one can open it if they get it." He said, then placed his thumb on it and scanned it, then Joan scanned her thumb, and finally, Rachel did. "Okay, it's secured." Then Jaune handed the case to Rachel.
"I'll put this somewhere safe." She said and did, Jaune breathed a sigh of relief. Then the three went out to eat lunch.
