Chapter 50: Checking On Each Other

Inside one of the lounge of the academy right now something was going on. That being laughter with a few of the spartans stoping by after hearing something from marrow who felt disgusted from what he heard. That mainly being bei, jenkins and merle with some unknown faces all laughing at zane who had an embarrassed look on his face

"Oh…oh you gotta be kidding me…god dam this kid slept with that many chicks in one night"jenkin said in complete joy right now hearing this

"You mean how his pelvis isn't broken and him being crippled"bei said laughing at him as some of the others were their now hearing this. With emerald covering her ears in annoyance as blake was rubbing her face disgusted their talking about this with someone in the room

"Their are children here"blake said gesturing to june, aerial,and sinna who wanted to visit the academy to play with dusk and dawn. But only dawn was in a playful mood right now with dusk sleeping on the tiger lap right now as she gently stroked his fur. As pana was their giggling

"Well i was at that age when me and my wives and husband had our honeymoon. Skipper begged for mercy"pana said with a seductive grin as nerida was their holding dywn as she bonked her wife on the head a few good times

"Ow! Sharky why?"pana whined

"Your being a perv again honestly god…how did i ever fall in love with you"nerida questioned

"You fell for my cousin because she used to surf and you were a big surfer back in vacuo"merle said making the shark faunus blushed embarrassed at that getting some past on how they met

Velvet was red in the face groaning right now"can you not make fun of us please last night sucked"she said but set herself up for that

"You sucked something i bet last night"bei said making eden smack her upside the head as the women yelped growling at them

"Alright we did the devil tango so what! Seriously shut up because right now i'm trying to not feel embarrassed. Because tonight i'm heading to my best friend art show."Eden said as that was tonight which some forgot

"Oh man thats tonight…hey you think she gonna win?"emerald asked

"I think so that piece she made is top notch. Heck even my dad despite being a complete jerk might like it. It does represent the four kingdom right now which is interesting"leah replied seeming to hint at her possible winning it

"Awesome though…whats on today agenda except messing with the couple right now

"Checking to see if their not pregnant"nerida pointed the obvious out as it made a few of them blush at that with razma rolling her eyes

"Eh where fine we took drugs before we did the nasty"razma said in joy that she finally convinced them to do that. But nadia decided to stop this

"Okay lets stop it now i'm even getting bothered by it and that saying something. Although…i'm worried about my daughter right now"nadia suddenly said which confused them on what happened to asani or was she worried about zoey

"Are you worried about asani or zoey?"blake questioned

"Asani…god last night…we ran into her scumbag parents last night"nadia said to their complete shock right now as close by also was pyrrha, jaune along with rogue and ren their looking completely surprised as was the rest of them

"You ran into her scumbag parents that sold her!"rogue shouted in shock as they all thought of one thing

"Did you know…teach them a lesson liek you did with sangie?"eden asked as the tiger scoffed

"I wish her little girlfriend clocked her dad in the jaw and i clocked her mom. Wish i did more but you know…cops"nadia said in dsiappointment wanting to get more swings on them but the cops were coming and they needed to run away from them.

As the bear faunus seemed anger by the thought of someone being sold to talon forces. Because she was sold to them as she growled in rage

"I swear talon is just the worst of the worst in all of remnant. All of them are heartless monsters….espeically the one who shot my mom. If i ever see them again i'll snap their dam necks"eden said starlting them

"Come on…revenge aint the right thing to do kid"merle said

"Oh really? Why shouldn't i just kill that women because she shot my mom in cold blood right in front of my eyes"eden growled back but someone decided to finally speak up on that right now

"Umm…your talking about eli…eli peppers"jaune suddenly said to some of their confusion as they stared at him for a moment

"Jaune…who are you talking about right now?"pyrrha questioned concerned as he shared a look with ren and rogue as the two nodded that she deserves to know

"Were talking about someone that helped us back in deepwald. A women by the name of eli peppers she was a resident their a long time ago. But she joined the talon working for them and helped us plant bombs in their camp. Along with providing unfiroms to sneak in…she…she helped us break into their jails to rescue rogue."jaune explained

"Okay but what does this have to do with eden exactly?"emerald questioned as they revealed it

"She was the one who shot your mom…she…she told us herself"jaune answered to their complete shock hearing they met piper and eden mother killer

"What?"blake asked caught offguard by that

With eden her mood completely changed to rage as she growled before walking over grabbing him by the collar that he let that women go

"Did you let that women go! Do you know what she did to me and my sister! She took my mother away from me by shooting her point blank in the head!"eden shouted in rage as she shoved him to the ground

"Hey! Look you need to calm down i get it your pissed bu-"Rogue was stopped

'Shut up! Everyone in that dam merc group are heartless monsters! None of them have any sign of compassion and deserve to be punished. They put me through hell for almost two years and i almost killed myself because of it. I was forced to work everydam day in some mines and do stupid experiments for two years straight! It her fault my baby sister doesn't have our mom!"eden cried with tears slowly forming

As rogue growled before yelling back at her right now hearing this

"Well if she didn't do it her own little sister would be executed!"rogue shouted back startling her as she continued on her small speech

"Alot of them didn't want to do it….alot of them just needed cash to get by. That women you hate…she only joined the talon to give her sister porthestic she depsarately needed. But once she got in too deep she could never come out of it."rogue said with jaune jumping in

"And it doens't matter now….because…she scarfieced herself to destory that lab. She hated herself for the attrociiteis they made her do…some of them don't deserve to die. Their being forced into his by them. Think about it…what if you where in her situation"jaune said straight to her face

The bear took in his words hearing them thinking about if she was in the same position. If she had a gun placed to her head telling her to either shoot her sister to live or some random women who had three kids. She might actually shoot the women to save her sister as she sniffed rubbing her eyes for a moment sighing

"I um…well…i…your right…i…did..did she feel guilt for it?"Eden softly asked as he nodded

"She did but…we told her your sister was safe and sound. It made her happy to hear that"jaune softly said which made her feel relieved

But as they stayed in silence for a moment onxyia stared at the ground right now gripping her hands tight. Then she stood up walking away from them for some reaosn which worried them right now

"Hey is she okay?"bei asked concerned

"I'm pretty sure that kid is still rather rattled after what happened last night. Kid your dumb stalker chased her down almost killing her"jenkins said making the hybrid look down in complete shame

"I…know…god…i gotta figure out how to make it up to her. Her birthday is coming up but i got no clue on what to get her"zane said surprising some of them to hear it was her birthday soon

"Its going to be her birthday soon?"rogue asked about to shout but controlled herself

Blake chuckled"it is….we haven't really celebrated any of ours yet. Since well i turned eighteen not that long ago. Some of us did which is upsetting we couldn't celebrate our own birthdays since we got too busy"blake commented as they tought about that for a moment before pyrrha had an idea

"Well maybe once we launch amity arena…maybe we could celebrate it back in vacuo. Everyone we know will be their and it'll be nice to do it with her parents i'm sure"pyrrha said

"Along with her aunt whos partners with my girlfriend"nadia mentioned to their surprise hearing she had an aunt

"She has an aunt?"may stupidly asked with blake frowning at them

"Did none of you ask if she had any aunt and uncles?"blake questioned as the five partners of the wolf stayed silent for a moment confirming her suspicions

"Really? I mean you guys slacking off or something on treating each other equally"bei joked

"Hey well…we've been so busy in the last few months with the work we got"may sadly replied rubbing her arm as it made them feel terrible for not asking her that

Though velvet and zane shared a look with each other nodding to one another right now. They were the first two in this little relationship and they needed to talk to the wolf to check on her

'Hey were gonna go talk to her and check up on her."velvet said

"Oh do you want me to come with i;ve known her for a long time along when she hiding if she hurt"blake asked as they nodded. Quickly zane scooped up dusk who meowed in annoyance but he needed his help

The three of them left the others to their own vices as they tried to find the wolf right now to check up on her. As they kept searching for her for a bit before they eventually found her. As she was sitting against a wall balled up hugging her tail tight right now like she was scared

This worried them"hey wolfie you doing okay over here?"velvet asked startling her slightly as she whipped her face quickly

"Oh umm me i'm totally fine…just still rattled from what happened last night. Embarrassing that we um did it"onxyia said lying through her teeth which blake could tell sighing as she took a spot next to her. With zane taking the other side as velvet sat in front of her as they stayed silent for a moment

The cat sighed"your not okay. I've known you my entire life praticualry and your scared after what happened last night"she said as it made onxyia shake from what happened last night. Because she thought she was going to die last night before she managed to save herself. But that women assault her as she fought a sob back choking on it

"I'm fine…i'm fine after what happened last night"onxyia said with a slight cry but zane leaned over pulling her into a gentle embrace right now rubbing her back gently to calm her down right now

"Woflie…no your not…look i…god i'm so sorry. I..i never expected that psycho to ever come after you. I thought she went into hiding i never expected her to be still obsessed with me. But look i know your anger at me"he softly said but she shook her head

"Well uh not really…i'm just…well…troubled right now after what she did to me"onxyia shyly admitted with a scared expression as he hugged her gently in his arms not wanting to let her go. With velvet scotthcing over joining the two in the embrace right now hugging her

"I would be scared too….look we've been their for each other since the beginning. And well i love you guys…and i mean it"velvet said as he chuckled

"Same here…besides i made a promise to your dad that i'd protect you no matter what. I…almost failed at doing that but this time…"he paused before pulling her back to get a good look at her

He looked at her dual colored eyes that were slightly red from her crying as they slwoly slipped away. But he whipped them away with his thumbs smiling at her

"But this time i won't ever let that happen. I'll always be their if you ever get hurt or you need a shoulder to cry on. Along with that i would lay my life down to protect you, vel, may, eden and even that pervy magician. Because i love you guys…and i want to make sure that each of you are happy and treated equally. I'll make sure to make this up to you because…"he paused before grinning at her

"A little cat told me its someone birthday soon. I wonder what i should get a wolf whos into hunting. Would a hunting rifle work or would you like to hunt the bunny for some fun"he said smiling as she looked surprised hearing him mention her birthday staring at blake who smiled

"Sorry i reminded them since we were so busy. Though…if your mom was here she mess with you"blake added

As the wolf stared at them laughing for a moment sniffing rubbing her eyes clear of any tears sighing with a smile

"Well my dad would go on a warpath to kill my boyfriend..i..uh thanks for that. Though…i'm not giving hints for what i want"onxyia said brushing her hair

"Really? Not even if dusk here is being sweet to you"velvet said presenting dusk as he meowed at her. Then he escaped velvet grasp before crawling up the wolf making her laugh as he deposited himself into her hood before licking her on the face a few times as he liked her

Onxyia giggled"no…though i really needed to talk. Maybe someone can make me brownies to get that psycho taste out of my mouth"she said

"Maybe i shall who knows maybe with peanut butter this time"zane said as she smiled appreciating this talk as she and velvet walked away. With zane and blake waiting for them to get far enough away as he sighed rubbing his face hard

"God…i'm getting worried about her right now. Do you think staying here in atlas is bothering her"he asked worried

"I think so look…just make sure shes alright. And we shouldn't even tell her about hariett and kumo since she knows now"blake said stunning him as he covered his mouth before exhaling slowly

"Dammit…okay…okay lets go back to the others. But tell me who else knows and we can come up with something incase its brought up again."zane said as she nodded in agreemnt as the two walked off to rejoin the others right now.

Elsewhere in the academy right now someone else was rather busy doing something. That being ruby who was trying to figure out something right now. That was checking on her girlfriend after last night events of meeting her parents because she noticed something last night

That she was slowly returning back to old habits right now when she was a stuttering mess. Because she was seeking some help from her sister right now on this topic

"What do i do…i'm worried about her because last night she just ran straight into her room. And she won't talk to me today"ruby whined in worry

Yang consoled her the best she could by rubbing the top of her head

"Their their little sister i get this is your well first relationship your in"yang said

"You mean how i'm happy….but yet…i don't even know how to console her on this. I mean…her own parents said straight to her face last night they wanted to abort her. How can i tell her everything will be alright?"ruby qeustioned

The blonde sat their trying to come up with something for her sister. While she did walking past them right now was penny along with carmine as she was getting her maintenance checkup down for the day.

"You seem to be in proper working condition dear. You've adjusted to all your prosthetics like before along with those upgrades your father added to you"carmine said as penny smiled

"Of course i need to be prepared for anything"penny replied as the women chuckled

Though she glanced inside the room toward the two sister seeing them struggling with something. As ruby kept pacing around mumruing to herself in worry as yang was deep in thought right now

"Are you two okay?"carmine questioned startling the two sister as they faced the two

"Yes because…"penny had pina do a quick scan of their vitals. She could see that ruby heart was beating very fast with yang seeming to have dopamine levels accelerating to her brian right now like she was thinking of something

"Are you two okay right now you seemed stress"penny pointed out

"Heh heh me stressed i'm not stress i'm totally not stressing out. Not after what happened last night with my girlfriend dirtbag parents"ruby qucikly said to them

But carmine wasn't one to ignore this sort of problem as she was also a therapist at heart. As the women walked into the room taking a seat next to them as she stared at the two half sisters for a moment sighing

"Dear are you worried that miss walker daughter is struggling mentally right now"carmine asked the obvious

Ruby flinched at that playing with her cloak for a moment as she looked down at the ground sighing heavily

"I um yes….last night made me scared for her"ruby admitted

"That would seem obvious since you did punch her father in the face last night"penny replied making her blush slightly at that feeling embarrassed right now

Yang snickered slightly"man you should have seen me when i punched that perv harl a while back. Can't believe he tried to grope me"she paused before flexing her arms

"But she got yanged"she added as her sister stared at her for the pun

"I hate how you tell puns at the weirsdest times"ruby said

"Your not the only one having to listen to clover and his luck puns"carmine said from experience but the women got back to their topic on hand right now

"Listen dear i did some therapy with her since her mother and brother begged me too. As well for the rest of you for some mental check ups every two weeks"carmine said

During their three months here the general ordered them all to have mental checkups with carmine every two weeks. They were against it at first but they all agreed it would do them some good right now. All of them agreed that they needed it and in the end it did come in hand at times.

"Yeah but….what do i do….i don't even know how to talk to her about this sort of thing. She probably doesn'y want anyone even near her"ruby said sounding upset as the scientist quelled her doubts

"Now sweetie. I understand you don't know how to handle this but just go and talk to her. Last i saw she was in the forge doing some work to calm herself down. I saw her cousin keeping an eye on her. Just go talk to her"carmine wisely said

As ruby was about to speak but she motioned her to stop. The silver eyed teen seeing no other option sighed and went off to find her girlfriend to check on her. It ddin't take her long to get to the forge to find someone their waiting outside of it. That being neo who noticed her

"Oh hey ruby you here to check on my cousin?"neo signed as she nodded

"Yeah is she doing okay?"ruby asked peeking inside

Their at one of the workbenchs was asani who wasn't really doing much of anything. If you count her just staring at her helmet right now on the table. With her reflection being seen in it as the mute looked at her shrugging her shoulders

"She won't talk to me or auntie or her brother even. I even ran off early and grabbed dawn"neo siad gesutring to the grimm who was a small rabbit as she was on the ground nibbling on a carrot right now.

"Oh well…she is calm with her…i'm gonna try and talk to her alright"ruby said as the mute supported it

The silver eyed teen picked up dawn holding her as she approached her girlfriend. Asani though kept staring at her own image right now seeing her reflection. Along with the birthmark she received from her own birth. But she thought about how she ran into her old family last night. It was starting to make her recall the day they sold her all those years ago

Nine years ago in atlas

It was nine years ago in atlas right now. As it was snwony like most days are in the kingdom, as the rich stayed warm from the cold. But down below in the streets of mantle right now was a younger asani right now. Who was in her home right now with her blood parents

But right now she was wearing a tatter oversized shirt with a pair of dirty grey sweatpants. As her hair was long and messed up right now. As her so called parents where at the living room table doing something. That being lines of blessing as they both were blessing addicts right now

With abby snroting a line of blessing before shaking her head feeling a rush in her skull

"God this stuff is great….though we gotta kill time with this dam weather"abby said in annoyance

Owen rubbed his nose from the blessing"Well we gotta wait for that guy i called to get here. Hopefully he will arrive on time"he replied

As the two of them sat their in silence for a moment soon enough asani stomahced grumbled for something. That being food as she barely ate anything as she stood up walking over to her mother tugging at her shirt gently

"Momma can i have something to eat?"she innocently asked but she was met by a disgusted look from abby

"Don't touch me you dam brat!"abby said before backhanding her sending her to the ground as she began to cry from the pain. This made the two have splitting headaches from all the drugs they were using right now. Owen growled

"Shut up you dam mistake! Before i have to use my belt on you again!"owen yelled making her stop mid cry as she rushed off to the stairs of their home. She sat their shaking right now starving since they rarely fed her at times

The two of them got back to work watching tv right now just ignoring her like she was some sort of mistkae. What felt like hours right now soon a knock came to the door with owen approaching it as he opened it revealing someone. That being yohi the old captain of the crimson talon before his death

He walked inside from the cold as he had two talon oepratives in winter clothing by his side. As the praying mantis faunus sighed rubbing his hands to warm up

"I take it you've agreed to our deal that we discussed since you contacted me about our job offers"yohi said as owen scoffed

"Yeah…the brat is over their on the stairs. You said if you put that mistake to work we get the money she would earn for your organization"owen said as the young asani was confused but she could tell the faunus was dangerous just by looking at him. She hesiantly walked down approaching her mother riaisng her arms up for a hug

"Momma who is he?"she innocently asked but in stead of answering her abby just grabbed her hard by the arm. Then she dragged her over tossing her to one of the soldiers who grabbed her as she kicked and struggled from their grip right now

"Their we are….one mistake i had…you gonna pay us now or what?"abby said irritated as yohi laughed before producing a large stack of lien. Then he handed the two it as they smiled because they just sold their own daughter.

"Our business is done here and she'll be put to work into our mines. Have a pleasant day"yohi said turning to leave with the girl in tow as the young girl called out for her parents right now. But the door was closed as she started her new life in this hell for almost a decade before she was finally rescued.

Present

As the memory was still fresh in her mind soon enough she felt someone tap her on the shoulder startling her to reality. She looked up to see it was her girlfriend staring at her with a concerned look on her face.

"Oh um…uh…its just you…hey ruby"asani greeted with a stutter

This upsetted ruby who took a seat next to her holding dawn on her lap. The grimm pet could sense some trouble as she hoped over into asani lap. The girl stared at ther family pet who sniffed her snuggling up against her to calm her nerves

"Maybe you should pet her to calm down right now"ruby suggested as she took her suggestion

Slowly she began to stroke the rabbit soft fur as dawn yawned slightly before nuzzling in her lap which made asani breath a sigh of relief

"You know we got this to help my brother calm down. Nows shes more like a service animal for me"asani said finding it funny

"Well thats what pets are for…when i got zwei i was very happy when he became apart of our family. Everytime i was sad he would try to help cheer me up by doing little tricks or just making sure i was okay. Despite being a dog"ruby replied as asani softly smiled at that

The two of stayed silent for a moment as neither of them spoke up to break the silence. But as they kept being silent with each other ruby decided to break it

"Are you okay…because if you want to be left alone i–"She was stopped

'No you don't need to leave i'm just….processing last night is all"Asani said as she begun

"Its just last night was so much fun spending time with you and the others. Ive…never had a normal childhood. All i know is that i get sold by my parents…then i end up in some dust mine. For years I worked in their before y-yohi started to use me as his personal slave"she said clenching her fist on that as the scars on her back burn

Ruby stayed their to comfort her as she let her continue wanting to hear her problems

"He…he hurt me everytime i didn't listen to him. Everyday of my life it was hell…i…i sometimes just wanted to shoot myself in the head to end it. But..but i know it was wrong i…what type of parent sells their own child. Why did they even do it"Asani cried right now hugging herself as ruby decided to take action

Gently she wrapped her arms around her to hold her in her arms. The teen held her close with asani leaning into it as she gently stroked the back of her head to calm her down

"Hey i know its was stressful last night seeing them again. But….they were stupid for selling their own daughter. Because they…"Ruby paused staring at her for a moment admiring her before continuing

"Because they missed on a wonderful girl. You didn't lose hope over the years because i'm sure deep down you knew you'd be free from him. Your free now and you have a new family that cares for you. I'm sure your mom was happy to take you in along with both your siblings caring about your safety. Your with your real family'ruby softly said

Taking her words in for a moment the masked girl hugged her girlfriend tight in a loving embrace as the two of them stayed silent. While they did they released before someone cleared their throat as they looked over seeing carmine their

"I wanted to come check up on you two….how are you?"Carmine asked

Asani thought for a moment before answering"i'm doing better thanks to uh rosey help"she answered making ruby blush at that nickname with neo peeking over snickering

"Now i know your related to your brother. Because you both take after auntie with her dumb nicknames for people"neo signed

"Really? Your ruining the moment right now you know"ruby said as the mute stuck her tongue out at her for a moment

"Okay we get it…although i'm guessing your here to check on more than my mental health"asani replied as carmine nodded

"I got a call from james that we all need to meet up to discuss tonights events. Since the garden center is opening tonight come on"Carmine said as they all agreed following her to speak with the mighty general of atlas military now.

All of them began to gather up in the briefing room on the school grounds right now. As they waited for ironwood to join them mariana was told what happened lasy night as she tried not to laugh but couldn't contain herself laughing at some of them

"Oh dam…oh….oh…oh this is priceless. Wags got stuck with monitor duty and watching you all bone"mariana said laughing loudly to some disgust and embarrassment this was being brought up again.

"Shut up! I swear to god i'm sick and tired of all this teasing. Why is it always like this?"Velvet asked embarrassed, it was for gag relief

As they sat their for a bit weiss signed rubbing her face"alright so off that topic because raz here is a massive perv"she commented

"You know it"razma replied

"Why are we here exactly the general said we have the night off"weiss asked

But soon enough the general walked into the room as they all straighten up by the sight of him. The general took a seat infront of all of them as he spoke

"I bet your all wondering why i gathered you all here today"ironwood stated

"A little because after last night events sir. I'm assuming your going to confine everyone here for the night just to be safe"hairett asked as she was parietal right

"In a way yes. But right now you all know tonight is the night councilwomen hill and councilman wilkins will be opening the garden center tonight for the public"ironwood asked as they nodded with a display of the finished garden center being on the screen behind him as he cotninued

"But you may know that we also have the chance of it being the target of assinations. With arthur and their forces still on the offensive. Were getting closer to the completion of amity arena soon. Thanks to everyone efforts right now"ironwood said to their surprise hearing its almost done

"Wait amity is almost done?"yang asked surprised

Peitro nodded as he chuckled"why it is dear. We managed to supply and retrofit it into a functioning mobile base along with it functioning as a full operational shetler for the people of atlas and mantle"he explained to their joy right now

"Awesome! That means were gonna do the uh broadcast then we head on over to vacuo to meet up with everyone"cardin said but was a little nervous if this plan might fail

"Yes…but james i still think the broadcast is a bad idea"Summer voiced her worries as the general sighed

"I understand your worried summer. But i'm sure you can agree the more people that know of her the better chance we have to minizmie the risk of them finding out at the worst time."ironwood said

"If we put all this work in and they find out she exist it may dampin their hopes. Which means we will already be losing this war"he added

The silver eyed women was about to speak but stopped herself hearing those words from him. Thinking about her next words carefully she couldn't help but agree with him right now on that. Because if the people of remnant figure out who she is when they declare war against them it might just desotry their only chance

Summer sighed"I….i have to agree with you on that"she relied

"Shcoker that my wife is agreeing with you. Though i take it your gathering us here for a few of us to be their for protective detail"qrow asked as he nodded then the general stared at their winter maiden

"I take it you want to go ahead with that art show you've been begging to go to"ironwood asked

Miyuki nodded"yes. I've been working hard on it in my free time and well….i can protect myself and i'll make sure to keep an eye out for anyone suspicious"she said firmly as eden stood up by her best friend

"I'll go with her and keep an eye on her. Let one of those psycho hurt my best friend"Eden said making miyuki smile at that with leah sighing

"I'll go to….i know the guards their along with the layout of the museum. "Leah said

"Then i'm going too kiddios. Because well….at some point i've been thinking about coming out of retirement"mariana said which made them all silent for a moment. Along with the ace ops in the room hearing that she wants to come out of retirement

"Wait…tort…but…you retired since you wanted to take care of your kids."hariett asked surprised with the women own partner surprised as clover laughed

"You trying to take back on the reigns on the squad?"he asked

"Hmm maybe besides i may be a little rusty. Though…were gonna need all the help we can get. I'm a expert in military ops along with that i can protect our maiden over here"maraians said but shared a look with carmine for a moment which her wife noticed wondering if something was wrong

"Alright that will be fine i'll also send a couple spartans with you just incase"ironwood said waiting for volunteered for the garden center with ruby raising her hand

"I'll head over to the garden center to help miss hill. Besides i can cover any range with my sniper"ruby offered as her girlfriend stood up by her side

"I'll go to…i'll go help my moms girlfriend. Who knows maybe she'll marry her"asani joked as they found that amusing with her mother going bright red in the face hearing that

"W-what!? Me…and hill married…i..um..i…i..um..uhhhh….god now i'm all flustered"nadia said as her tail swayed around like crazy as rogue snikcered

"I wanna go to"rogue volunteered

"Same here since i owe for saving pyr"jaune said as pyrrha thought for a moment riaisng her hand but she was stopped before she spoke up

"Miss. nikos you shouldn't be going to it. Your too valuable to risk right now with whats been going on"ironwoods firmly said to their surprise

"But…i…i owe for the kindness she showed me i…i promised her that i attend it"pyrrha argued

"Promises can be broken because with you carrying half the fall maidens powers. You and mrs. pearson are targets. I'm sending several security units with her to make sure she isn't attack i can't have them be in two places at once"ironwood argued although that was when hairett had an idea come to mind

"Sir if i may"hairett asked

"You may what is it litnentuant?"ironwood asked

"Pana you could have your people keeping an eye on both of them right. Have about i don't know four of your gravekeepers watching the two of them. I've seen them fight their on par with atlas soldiers"hairett asked with the club owner thinking of it for a moment nodding

"I can make it even better by having six of them guard them close by. I can send kendra and thompson with miss pearson. While I can have eduardo and ryker guard you miss nikos. We can make sure neither of them are taken. "Pana said as they all thought about it for a moment before the general relented

"Alright…that will work. But be safe and watch each others back no matter what"the general ordered as they all split off with each other. Though as miyuki left the room she felt some minor chest pain coughing slightly wondering when this cough will go away.

It seems something is wrong wih miyuki as that cough keep getting worse and worse. While we see them have the grand opening of the garden center next chapter. But the maidens may experience some trouble at these gatherings.
