DarkMoon010: It would be cool to see.
Omarnosian10; Glad to have met your expectations.
Adislt: I can understand your reasoning.

MasterBrattan: I kinda explained it in the chapter it was introduced, but I called it a slightly different version.
"I wonder how many more aliens that watch can hold" Ren pondered as he continued to think about the possibilities from the Omnitrix.
"I bet it could hold a thousand!" Ruby said.
"I sure hope so!" Yang said in agreement. "I just hope there's one that's just as kick ass as me!" Yang grinned.
"And maybe one with a bigger ego" Weiss whispered to Blake who nodded in agreement.
"I must admit, it would be nice to see more of these alien lifeforms and see what their capabilities are," Penny said.
"I can understand the use of that." Weiss said in agreement.
Before the conversation could continue any further, View came back into the room with a familiar looking orb. "Listen up everyone!" View called out. "I got the next world to load in."
"Which one is this?" Sun asked while munching on popcorn.
"We will be onto the next part of the Spider-Man world" View informed.
"Yes!" Ruby pumped her fist up in excitement. "Love that one!"
"I can tell," View said. "Anyways, we'll be moving on to the next part of the story."
"So what happened last time again"? Coco asked as she really needed a reminder.
"Well as I recall, Jaune Arc teamed up with an officer named Jefferson Pine to stop a gang of Demons from gaining a supply from Junior Xiong" Penny immediately recalled in a couple of seconds, shocking a few of the audience.
"Wow, Penny, you remembered that like hyper fast" Nora said
"Yeah, almost seemed automatic, like you just got it from your memory banks or something" Yang jokes.
"Well I..." Penny was about to say with a nervous tone but Ruby stepped in.
"Yeah, ha ha ha, how funny is that?" Ruby chuckled nervously as she darted her eyes back and forth. "V-View how about we watch that world already, hih?"
"Sure" View shrugged and tossed the orb into the screen and it prepared up once more and as everyone paid attention to the screen and saw what happened next for Spider-Jaune.
The screen opens up to the sight of Jaune Arc, currently in his Spider-Man outfit and perched up on a roof. He had just dealt with the new crime gang known as the Demons with the assistance of an Officer named Jefferson Pine, who was just escorted to the hospital with Pyrrha.
"Man, I'm beat." Jaune sighed after a long day of fighting crime. "Time to head home and get some sleep" The young Arc said to himself. He then leaped off the building and headed somewhere else. Deciding to go for a different route to get to his apartment quicker.
"Oh yeah, I just realised that he hasn't slept once since we saw this world" Yang said in realisation.
"That can't be good for his health," Weiss said. "Being awake for that long could surely take a toll on him"
"I would've thought fighting crime on a daily basis and fighting criminals in super powered suits would've done that sooner" Tai said.
"I guess he's stronger than you thought" Saphron smirked while holding her son.
The screen went to black before changing to Spider-Man on the subway, causally checking his phone while a man on the newspaper looked up at him in confusion, looking back and forth at the image and real thing.
"Well that's...pretty awkward" Coco said.
"I'll say." Ruby said in agreement.
"Aw, why isn't he web swinging there?" Nora pouted as she crossed her arms." It's way more fun than just taking a ride there."
"Maybe taking this mode of transportation will get him home much quicker," Ren said.
"My only question is why is he in his Spider-Man outfit?" Winter said.
"Well it's not like anyone minds." Qrow shrugged.
After getting there via subway, Jaune managed to arrive on the roof of his apartment building. He walked towards the door and walked inside the building, while also taking off his suit and into his normal clothes.
Jaune walked in the hallway of his apartment and walked towards the door to his room. He placed his key in but when he tried turning it, it wouldn't budge, confusing the blonde.
Jaune looks back and forth swiftly before ramming himself on the door, busting it open and finally getting into his room. But to his great annoyance, his apartment had been completely cleared out of all of his belongings.
"Wait what?" Ruby said in surprise.
"Someone's robbed him!" Nora cried out. "Oh, when Spider-Jaune gets his hands on the guy who took his stuff...!"
"Nora, calm down," Ren calmed down his partner. "No one robbed him."
"Then who could've taken all of his stuff?"
"It must've been the landlord," Glynda said. "I do recall the conversation he had with Jaune on not paying the rent. Mr Arc must not have paid in time and is now evicted."
"But that's not fair!" Ruby said. "They can't just take his stuff like that."
"Apparently they can, Rubes," Yang said.
"Come on…" Jaune sighs in frustration that all of his stuff is gone, while not noticing that his door had an eviction notice on it. He then decided to quickly leave his former apartment, while also almost knocking over the now broken door.
"It happens to the best of us, kid" Qrow slurred. "I can remember when I was evicted."
"You got kicked out for different reasons, Qrow." Tai pointed out to his old time friend. "Mainly for starting fights and flirting with his wife."
Qrow raises his hands up. "Hey, I was young and stupid back then." Qrow said. "And now I'm..."
"Just stupid" Winter snarkily remarks, causing Qrow to glare at her.
The screen then changes to Jaune outside, looking through a dumpster while also on the phone with someone.
"They just threw it in the trash?" Ruby exclaimed.
"What a bunch of dicks," Coco blunty said.
"Empire Sanitation, this is Eddie." The voice on the other line said in a monotone voice.
"Yeah, hi, uhh... I'm trying to track down some items that were accidentally picked up from a dumpster outside my -" Jaune explained to the man.
"Dumpster number?" Eddie asked.
Jaune looked over to see that there was no number on the front. "Uh… uh, hang on…" Jaune said. He then did a leap to the wall and pushed the dumpster back to see the numbers. "Uh. Six, four, four, seven, six..."
"Gotta love super human strength," Sun said.
"Pfft, I could do that with one hand" Yang boasted.
"Maybe she could place the other over her mouth" Weiss whispered to Blake who chuckled in response.
"What was that?" Yang asked.
"Nothing!" The pair quickly said.
"That's route thirty-three. Truck's already left its shift." Eddie informed as Jaune leaped up away from the dumpster. "If your stuff's not there, you're out of luck."
"Wait, wait, please - this is important!" Jaune pleaded. "Can you at least tell me where the truck is?"
"Lemme check…" Eddie sighs as the scene showed Jaune in his Spider-Man suit, on the wall of a building nearby. "Alright... looks like it should be at the municipal garage at Bowery and Grand."
"Got it, thanks, Eddie!" Jaune thanked him as he got off the phone with him.
"Municipal garage... Bowery and Grand... not a problem." Jaune said to himself as he leaped off the wall he was on and proceeded to web swing his way to the location before all of his stuff could be gone forever.
"Hopefully he'll get it in time," Velvet said.
"If any of it is still there." Blake said. "Who knows when they threw away his stuff."
"Way to be optimistic Blake" Yang quips.
"I don't care if I lose everything else, but I have to find my spidey-drive." Jaune said to himself as he swung over a building to gain momentum. "Can't be that hard. finding a tiny flash drive in a thirty ton garbage truck." Spidey said with some hope in his voice.
Ironwood hummed in interest at this. The drive could hold some information on all of the tech he built over the years. Maybe there's a chance that he could see some of that himself and see if Atlas could replicate it.
"See you're just as much interested as the kid is, Jimmy." Qrow remarks.
Ironwood sighs in response to Qrow's remarks towards him. "I was merely thinking about the possibilities from this drive"
"Sure you were." Qrow said.
"I have years of research on that drive. Everything I've worked on since high school." Jaune said as he wall ran on the side of a nearby building.
After a few minutes of web-swinging, he was just at the location he needed to be at, which was basically a garage where all the garbage trucks were based. He landed in front of the doors,walked towards them and proceeded to try and lift up the shutters to no avail."Of course it's locked…" Jaune sighed in response. "Can't have people stealing garbage."
"Why would anyone steal anything from a garbage truck?" Winter asked.
"You haven't seen Bart going through our bins trying to find any thrown away books" Glynda said.
The Web-Head looked around the area for something. "Maybe there's another way in..." Spidey theorized as he continued to look.
An idea popped inside of his head. Jaune used the scanners within his mask to see if there were a way in. Lucky enough for the blonde, there was a vent on the right side of the building.
"Ah, smart," Tai said.
"Indeed." Ozpin hummed in agreement. "That heads up display is quite useful"
He went round the other side of the garage and immediately web swinged his way inside of the vent. "It's not really breaking and entering if I don't break anything, right?" Jaune asked himself as he crawled towards the way inside of the garage.
"That's not how it works" Weiss groans.
"Isn't it?" Nora asked. "Because if you think about it, he's technically right"
"How is he?" Weiss was about until she stopped herself. "You know what? I don't have the energy"
Spidey jumped down to the parking area but found nothing in sight. "Okay, no need to panic..." Jaune said calmly. "Maybe they haven't dumped the trash yet." Jaune said. He then moved towards the only truck there and looked to see if his tech was there. But to his misfortune, the truck had nothing of his within it. "Nada. Grr. Okay... time to panic."
"This is not good indeed." Penny said.
"I'm sure he'll find his stuff soon," Ruby said.
Jaune Arc then decided to call Eddie once more and let him know what happened. "Empire Sanitation, this is Eddie." Eddie responded in the same tone as before.
"Sorry. Is there any chance the truck wasn't at the garage?" Jaune asked as he went back up to the vent above and made his way out of the garage.
"Sure... I guess. Just means it'd be somewhere in west Chinatown." Eddie informed the arachnid themed hero.
"Chinatown?" Ozpin asked.
"It's named after another country," View said.
"Sounds like nothing I've heard of" Sun said.
"Alternative universe." Ilia recalled.
"Great! I'm headed there now!" Jaune said as he got out of the building and began to web swing his way there.
"Hey, it's a long shot, but sometimes the guys stop for pizza before they drop off." Eddie informed.
"Really? I'll check out the pizza shops. Any idea which one?" Jaune asked while swinging.
"One of the mom and pop joints I think." Eddie said
"Jerry's?" Jaune asked
"No, that's uptown." Eddie quickly said.
"I mean original Jerry's." Jaune corrected.
"Oh right… no, started with an 'L' I think." Eddie said.
"Larry's?" Jaune asked as he was nearing his destination.
"Lot of pizza shops are named after some dudes," Sun said.
"Yes, I've noticed that too," Ren said.
"Must be a trend," Yang shrugged.
"Uhh... Leo's?" Spidey guessed.
"Leo's... yeah, that might be it. Man, I love Leo's." Eddie said in a fond tone.
"I'll pick you up a pie. I owe you one." Jaune said as he was getting a few feet close.
"No worries. Hope you find what you're looking for." Eddie said as Jaune landed in the area where the trucks were parked.
"What a nice guy," Ruby said.
"Indeed." Pyrrha said in agreement.
"Should be some trucks close by." Spidey thought to himself as he looked around and immediately found the first one right in front of him. He looked to see if his stuff was there but found nothing. "Nope, stuff's not here. There has to be another truck around here..."
He walked around from the truck and went to find another one. Jaune didn't need to look too far as he found another one. He went to see if his stuff was in that one, but as not luck would have it, his stuff wasn't there either.
"Oh god really?" Yang exclaimed in annoyance. "How long is this gonna take.
"Patience Miss Xiao Long," Glynda said in a strict tone. "Acting without thought can often lead to drastic results."
"I can be patient," Yang said.
"Yeah, I'm sure you were really patient with that clu you went to," Ruby said under her breath.
"No sign of my stuff, but what an "interesting" smell." Jaune coughed in his mask. "Eddie, you're my only hope..." Jaune said as he went to call him once more.
"Huh, don't know why, but that sounds like that line should be in someplace else" Ruby thought to herself. "Maybe in that Clone Wars world.
"Not there either, huh?" Eddie asked.
"You sure they were around here?" Jaune asked.
"Well, the guys might have switched routes due to the upcoming Schnee rally." Eddie informed "If your pickup was on Route 35, they'd be dropping off at the incinerator right now."
"Incinerator?!" Jaune exclaimed in shock and terror at the thought of all of his hard work being burned to a crisp.
"Oh dear..." Ozpin simply said. "That is not good."
"Jaune better hurry if he wants to get his stuff back then" Coco said.
"If he can make it on time," Ghira said.
"He will," Saffron said. "He's got the speed of a spider and the stubbornness of an Arc."
"Over by Manhattan Bridge." Eddie informed. "Better hustle..."
Jaune immediately bolted up in the air with the use of his web shooters and made his way to the incinerator, gaining more momentum by either web zipping or running alongside buildings.
"Hurry-Jaune-Jaune" Nora encouraged. "Don't let your stuff burn to a crisp"
He kept going and going, not stopping for a single moment and hopefully got to his things before they all got burned. Going like a bullet, he was almost there to the incinerator. "There's the incinerator! Hope I'm not too late." Jaune said to himself as he got closer and closer. But as he made his way there, he saw down below a group of thugs tormenting the people who worked there.
"Oh no..." Kali said.
"They're beating that guy guy down." Tai said.
"Looks like we're gonna get some action." Coco smirked.
"About time," Yang said as she grinned.
"Uh-oh. Looks like trouble…" Jaune commented at the sight before him. He managed to get in on time by firing a web onto one of the unsuspecting criminals and leaped down onto the thug, knocking him out while his cohorts looked on in shock.
"It's Spider-Man!" One of them exclaimed.
"Get him!" The other said as he raised up his crowbar and charged at the web head.
"Heh, good luck with that," Qrow said.
Spidey managed to dodge out of the way of the thug's swing and managed to slide under the man and kicked him from behind, knocking him a few feet away. Spider-Man turned to see the other thug running madly towards him.
Spider-Man immediately fired his web shooters at the man, encasing him in a web cocoon. He then fired two web lines, proceeded to swing him around and throw him into a wall, leaving him stuck there.
The thug with the crowbar got back up and tried to bash his skull in.
"Pfft! please" Yang scoffed. "Like a crowbar could hurt him like that.
"Uh, uh, uh!" Spidey waved his finger and fired a web at the crowbar, snatching it off the thug and swung it around before throwing it back in his face, knocking him to the ground once more. "It's not nice to hit people...at least in the way you're doing it" Spidey quipped as he webbed the man to the ground.
"You just got webbed!" Nora called out.
"Eh, it needs work," Coco said.
"Indeed." Weiss said.
After beating all of the thugs flawlessly, he decided to check up on the worker. "Thanks, Spider-Man." The worker said.
"You okay?" The web head asked.
"Yeah, thanks. This gang's been terrorising the whole neighbourhood the last couple of days. There's probably more of 'em on the way..." The worker informed the spider themed hero.
"I'll keep an eye out." Spidey assured. "Hey, mind if I look around for some, uh, some personal items?"
"Sure, have at it." The worker nodded. "I gotta go file an incident report." The worker said as he got away from the area before any more goons could make it here.
"Let's just hope he didn't lose all of his work," Pyrrha said.
"Indeed." Weiss said. "I know I would lose my mind if I ever lost my hard work."
"Yes, because how else would you brag about it?" Blake said with snark in her voice as Weiss glared at her.
Spidey looked down at a pile of garbage bags and scanned it, seeing his stuff highlighted. "There's something there... Gotta move these bags out of the way."One by one, he shot each one away until he reached what was under them.
"I think that's it!" Jaune exclaimed as he kneeled down and inspected the bag inside. "Please be here. Please be here..." Jaune begged to himself. Jaune then picked up a flash drive in his hand, containing all of his most important work. "Yes!" Jaune exclaimed in excitement.
"He got it!" Penny exclaimed. "Good for friend Jaune!"
"This drive must be really important," Sun said.
"Well yeah, it's got all of his life's work on it" Blake said.
"Hope it still works." Jaune said as he looked through the files within his own mask's HUD to look over the info. "Looks like everything's here." Jaune breathed a sigh of relief as he saw a list of projects he was working on in front of him. One of them popped out in front of him that caught his attention.
"Hey look! An old gadget prototype." Jaune said to himself. It was named the Web-Bomb Prototype and saw the schematics for it. "Looks kinda awesome why didn't I ever finish it?" Jaune asked himself before getting an idea in his head.
"Ooh!" Nora hummed in great interest. "That sounds really interesting!"
"Oh no...!" Ren muttered. "This isn't going to be good."
Sun was also interested in such a device. "Imagine the pranks I could pull on my team."
"Hm. I think I can make this work..." Jaune said to himself as he did have the material on him to make it work. Wasting no time, he then spent the next few minutes working on this old project and bringing it to life. "Got it!" Jaune said to himself in succession and he finished his newest tech device. But just before he could figure out if it properly works...
"Look, it's that guy who thinks he's Spider-Man." A random thing said as Spidey turned to see a gang of thugs walking towards him from behind the truck.
"Oh great, more punching bags" Yang remarks.
"This is gonna end well for them I bet" Coco grins.
"Uh-oh..." Spidey whispered to himself as he was faced off against the gang.
"Ice him!" The bigger thug ordered the rest of them.
"Hey Weiss!" Yang was about to joke but was stopped.
"Don't even!" Weiss said annoyed.
Jaune Arc smirked under his mask at this. He knew exactly what to do in this situation, especially now with his new web tech he had just made. The Web-Head raised up his hand and immediately fired his new device onto the first goon in front of him.
He stumbled around in panic for a few brief moments at the metallic orb being shot at him. Before he could get it off him or figure out what it even does, the web-bomb explodes, causing a massive splutter of webbing to not only encase him but his fellow thugs as well. The bomb sent some of the criminals back into the truck, only half of them are left now.
"Woah!" Ilia exclaimed, as did some of the audience.
"That is...AMAZING!" Ruby said with stars in her eyes. "How does it work?!"
"Oh boy," Yang said. "Here she goes again."
Tai smiles at his daughter as she continues to ramble on. "That's my girl."
"What is that?" One of the thugs exclaimed in shock at the sight of his buddies instantly taken down while the others were encased in web cocoons but still standing.
"Just take him down!" Another one ordered.
"Great strategy, buddy" Qrow remarks. "That'll be sure to make you win."
But the Web-Head was just too quick as he leaped forward and kicked one of the cocooned thugs into a wall behind him, trapping him there.
The rest of the criminals charged towards the web head while he smirked under his mask. The first one in front attempted to strike him with a crowbar but Spidey just slid right under him and fired web lines onto him, first pulling him up in the air for a brief moment and then slamming him back on the ground.
"He is quite the fighter" Ironwood complimented.
"Indeed." Ozpin said. "Although I do not think that Mr Arc cannot perform these moves without the help of an enhanced spider, I do think he can learn a lot more."
"He's always willing to learn," Pyrrha said to her partner.
"That he can" Glynda admitted as he was the most determined out of all of them.
Spider-Man made things go a lot quicker by using his impact webs onto the next goon, knocking him back a few feet into another thug as they both laid there on the ground in pain. He then bounced off the truck and launched himself into another goon, webbing him down once he hit the ground.
And finally there was just one unlucky criminal left from the batch. Instead of just surrendering, the man decided to try and deck Spider-Man in the face but the web head slyly dodged out of the web and proceeded to web the man up and swung him around and threw him to the side of the truck with the rest of his friends.
"And that takes care of that," Tai said.
"Until the next idiot shows up" Qrow comments.
Spider-Man took a deep breath in after taking down all of those goons. "Okay. Well, this night isn't quite going as planned." Spidey said as then decided to leave the area via web swinging. "Where am I gonna sleep?" The blonde pondered.
"Oh yeah, I just sort of forgot he's now homeless," Nora said.
"Poor Jaune," Ruby said with sympathy in her voice.
"Maybe Glynda could him in," Kali suggested.
"Could do." Ghira said.
"Guess I could try Pyrrha's." Jaune guessed and decided to swing to her apartment.
"YES!" Pyrrha shouted with glee as she stood up. She blushed in embarrassment when he realised what she did as she had many eyes on her. She sat back down on her seat while coughing. "I mean...I would be fine with it." Pyrrha said while Velvet and Yang glared.
"Sure you would..." Nora said with a knowing smirk on her face.
"Alright, how am I going to talk my way onto Pyrrha's couch?" Jaune wondered to himself as he web swinged. "Let's see... uh... 'Hi, Pyrrha, it's Jaune... any chance I could stay over toni-' Oh, that's too formal..." Jaune shook his head in response.
"'Pyrrha! I was just in the neighbourhood and...' ugh that's lame..." Jaune groaned in annoyance at himself.
"'Hey Pyrrha, now that we're talking again I thought maybe...' Okay that just sounds pathetic." Jaune angrly chastised himself as he continued to swing to her apartment.
"Man, this is giving me flashbacks" Tai groaned in nostalgia. "I remember when I needed a place to leave and tried to figure how to ask Summer"
"And that was as equally as embarrassing as this" Qrow smirked.
"I think it's kinda cute," Coco said. "Arc getting all flustered" Coco grinned while Velvet glared at her leader.
"Why am I making this such a big deal? We're just friends, right? Friends crash on each other's couches all the time. It's not weird or anything." Jaune said to himself as he continued to swing and ramble. "It's just a couch. Pyrrha's couch. Ugh. What am I thinking?" Jaune groaned to himself.
"Look kid, you if you wanna sleep with her, then don't make a big deal out of it" Qrow slurred.
"UNCLE QROW!" Yang cried out in annoyance. "Don't be so gross.
"And don't talk about my students like that," Glynda said with an angered look.
"What? I was just saying how it looked." Qrow said in defence.
He managed to make it there on time, seeing her apartment not that long away. Jaune landed on the water tower on top of the apartment and was ready to ask her until he suddenly got a notification on his phone.
"Hm, just got a web alert..." Jaune said as he got his phone out to see what it was. "Huh, looks like Pyrrha's story just got published." Jaune said he was interested in seeing Officer Pine's face on the cover of the story.
"I think I'll find somewhere else to stay. She's probably busy with work." Jaune said to himself "I wish Whiteley was in town." Jaune sighed to himself and decided to leave the area.
"Damn!" Pyrrha hissed to herself. "I would've gladly let him stay"
"I bet you would!" Nora grinned.
"Nora, stop teasing her." Ren said in a stern tone, making Nora pout.
But before he could even think about leaving, he suddenly notices something on his phone. "Hmm...Someone left me a voicemail. Number blocked though" Spider-Man said. He decided to listen and see who it was. "Hey there Spider...Long time no see." An alluring voice called to him, making Jaune's eyes widen in response as he recognizes that voice. "Miss me?"
"Um...what?" Yang said with a raised brow and a slightly angered look, as did Pyrrha and Velvet.
"Who the heck is that?" Velvet asked with a furrowed brow.
"Um...an old acquaintance of Jaune's" View said in a nervous tone.
"Well that definitely means something else" Qrow said.
"Come to this address...Catch me if you can." The message finishes.
"Uh oh. I think I know that voice." Jaune mutters to himself as he immediately got off the water tower and swinged towards the location the caller sent.
"Ooh, this is getting good," Coco said with an amused look.
"I'll say." Sun said.
After a while of web swinging, Jaune made it to the location the caller sent him to, which was a random building. but on the top of it was what appears to be a look out post.
"Someone was definitely there." Ironwood said.
"Indeed." Winter said in agreement.
"Hello Spider" The alluring voice of the Black Cat called out to the young blonde. "Been thinking about you a lot lately." Her voice played out in front of a camera.
"We were good together, weren't we?" She asked. "Maybe it's time to reignite the flame..." Cat said in a flirtatious tone as the call went off.
"Black Cat." Spidey sighed in worry. "Don't tell me she's scoping out places to rib." Spider-Man said with a gut feeling. "She promised she would give up that life."
"Black Cat?" Ruby repeated with a confused look.
"Must be another costumed vigilante like Jaune" Tai said.
"Who is she?" Penny asked.
"I know her voice sounds familiar." Blake said. "But I just can't tell."
"What is her history with Jaune?" Pyrrha asked View with a very jealous tone.
"...Complicated to say the least." View said.
"And what does that mean?" Yang said with the same tone as Pyrrha's
View was neverious at this. "Um...Best to watch the viewing and find out, weather it'll be good or not is debatable" View muttered that last part to himself
Jaune then looked down at the camera set up. "What was she looking at?" Jaune asked himself as he took a look through the lenses and immediately saw a large painting of J. Jonah Jameson as a baby on the side of a building in front of him.
"Ha!" Nora cried out. "Now that is funny!"
"It definitely fits," Ilia smirked.
Jaune gave a chuckle at the sight before him before looking. He quickly tried to find the thing Cat wanted to find with this. "What was she looking at?" he asked himself as he tried to see if there was anything out of place.
He then notices a slight glimmer on the lenses, shining in his eye. He then zoomed in on the object to see what it was.
"Ah! My eye!" Sun said as the glimmer managed to get caught in his eye.
He zoomed in to see a building with a painting of Black Cat on it, as if it weren't obvious. But that's not what caught his attention. It was the small cat plush sticking out of the door of the building.
"Aw! Cute!" Ruby awed. "But dogs are better," Ruby said while not noticing Blake's glare.
"There!" Jaune called out as he snapped a picture of the cat plush. "One of her cats. She packs those with range extenders, then harvest nearby RFID signals" Jaune thought to himself. "I'll let Blake know to pick them up."
"Is that bad?" Ruby asked.
"Basically, friend Ruby, they could potentially track anything she wanted with those.
"And then steal" View said.
"So she's a thief?" Ironwood asked with disapproval in his tone.
"More or less." View shrugged. "She's...
"Let me guess, complicated?" Yang said with an annoyed look.
He then looked over a map that had all the other locations of the cat plushies across the city. "Cat's too smart to be putting herself at risk like this." Jaune said to himself. "She must be desperate for some reason...Better keep an eye out" Jaune sighs.
"What would she need with these." Ironwood asked himself.
"We've yet to find out, old friend," Ozpin said.
"Hopefully, she'll be out of the way soon," Pyrrha gritted.
Jaune got himself off the map area in his mask hud and decided to Blake and ask her something as he dived off the roof. "Hey, Blake, do you still have Black Cat's suit and equipment in evidence lockup, right?" Spidey asked as he web swinged in the night.
"I think so," Blake responded. "Why? Is she back at it?" Blake asked with some worry.
"Maybe" Jaune said in an unsure tone. "Just double check and let me know if her gear is still there."
"Will do." Blake said as she hung up the phone, leaving Jaune on his lonesome.
"Still need a place to live," Coco said.
"Oh yeah, I just forgot about that," Tai said.
"He didn't," Blake said. "And it's not like he can make a bad out of his own webbing and sleep like a spider."
"He could think if he wanted to." Nora said. "Maybe even make himself a web hammock."
But before he could even think about what to do next, he got a call from his Aunt. "Hey Glynda, you're calling late. What's up?"
"I thought we were going to meet up for dinner tonight." Glynda said in a warm tone.
"Oh... right! I'm sorry. I forgot. It's been a hard day...we lost funding at the lab." Jaune said with some sadness in his voice.
"Oh, Jaune. I'm sorry!" Glynda said with great care for her nephew.
"I also kind of got evicted from my apartment." Jaune also added.
"Just keep the angst train rolling" Qrow remarks, causing Tai to punch him on the arm.
"What!? Do you have a place to stay tonight?" Glynda asked.
"Actually... no. Not really. I hate to ask, but any chance you have room at the shelter?" Jaune asked with some hope in his voice.
"Of course. Feel free to use the couch in my office." Glynda lovengly offered.
"Thanks, Glynda." Jaune thanked her as he turned around and headed for the FEAST centre.
"That was nice of you, Miss Goodwitch" Ruby smiled.
"Are you saying I'm not nice?" Glynda asked with a raised brow and the beginnings of her famous look.
"N-No! I mean, yes! Of course you're nice I was just saying that uh..." Ruby mumbled around.
"It's okay, Miss Rose...I was merely joking," Glynda said as her students looked at her in shock.
"You can joke?" Yang asked.
"When I feel like it, yes." Glynda nodded. Don't get used to it."
After a few minutes of web swinging he had made it to the FEAST Centre and landed right on top of the roof itself. He walked over to the duffle bag that held his normal clothing. He leaned down and changed out of his spider suit and into his regular life.
After getting changed, he jumped down to the entrance door of the centre and headed inside of the building. "I can't believe I haven't slept since the Fisk was taken down" Jaune sighed to himself as he entered the building. "I gotta take better care of myself"
"Oh yeah," Ruby released. "I just realized that Jaune never slept once since we saw this."
"He really needs to take better care of himself." Pyrrha said.
"Well now he's got the chance to properly rest now" Terra said.
Jaune then took the stairs up to Glynda's office. After meeting and greeting a few people, he made his way to the office. Jaune looked to the wall and smiled at the sight of old memorabilia. Jaune then laid himself down onto the couch near him and let sleep finally take him as he rested from all the hard work he's endured.
After a few hours of sleep, Jaune slowly wakes up and gets himself up from his spot. He then notices his Aunt Glynda sitting by her desk, smiling at him. Jaune's attention was then caught by the envelope filled with money, much to his surprise.
"She's paying him?" Nora said with a raised brow.
"I think she's more or less helping him out," Ren said.
Jaune looks up to his Aunt. "I can't take this." Jaune said sincerely.
Saphron sighed at this. "Of course Jaune wouldn't accept, too stubborn that way.
"Reminds me of someone" Terra said with a knowing look to her wife.
"You can. And you will." Glynda insisted in a calm and affirmative tone.
"I'll pay you back. Soon." Jaune said as he got up from the couch as Glynda looked at him with a loving look.
"Just ask for help next time." Glynda said. "You are so much like Ben. You have to learn to swallow that Arc pride and accept that you're human." Glynda said wisely. Like the rest of us."
"I've heard that a few times" Saphron said. "Sometimes from Mom"
"And is she wrong?" Terra asked with a smirk.
"I'm not brave enough to say that." Saphron said.
A knocking could be heard by her door and she turned to see Adam by it. "Adam!"
"Oh boy," Sun said. "Here we go."
"Easy Sun," Blake said. "We've seen what he's like in this world."
"And you think he's okay?" Sun asked.
Blake didn't have an answer for that.
"Sorry to interrupt." Adam apologized. "Just wanted to let you know i'm heading out of town." Adam informed. "You're in charge while I'm gone."
"Well you can count on me." Glynda assured. "How long will you be away?"
"I really don't know..." Adam said in an unsure voice.
"Is everything okay?" Jaune asked.
"It's some personal business I've been planning for a while." Adam said. "But... please take care of this place. It represents the best part of me." Adam said as he looked around fondly at the place and left the area as Jaune watched him leave.
"Okay, I'm a little worried after that." Ruby said.
"I think it's nothing." Nora said. "He doesn't seem too bad."
"We'll have to see." Ren said.
"Well. I guess I better get busy." Glynda sighed and went to work on the computer. Jaune nodded in response and decided to leave the shelter.
"Hm, hope Mr. Taurus is okay." Jaune said to himself. His phone then began to ring. He picked up the phone to see who it was. "Hello?"
"Hey. Did you see my story?" Pyrrha asked on the other line.
"I did. Robbie must be pretty happy right now." Jaune quips as he walks over to the stairs.
"Yeah. It kinda went Viral." Pyrrha said sheepishly. "And get this- Mayor Schnee just announced he's going to give Officer Pine an award this afternoon." Pyrrha informed.
"Good for him," Ruby smiled.
"He deserves to get one after saving Jaune's life" Pyrrha agreed.
"He is a good man indeed," Ironwood said.
"Wow. Wait- isn't Schnee's campaign rally this after… Oh. I see what he's doing." Jaune said in realisation as he reached down to the reception area.
"Of course he is, he always does this whenever it makes him look good" Weiss groaned as she rubbed her temple.
"Yeah, we all do." Pyrrha said in agreement. "But still, a pretty cool moment for Officer Pine and his family. I'll be there covering it- want to join me?" Pyrrha asked with a hopeful tone in her voice.
"Ooh!" Nora teased. "A date perhaps?"
"God, I hope so." Pyrrha pleaded.
"Yeah, of course. See you then." Jaune said with a grin on his face as he got off the phone with her. He then walked by the door and exited the shelter.
After changing back into his spider suit, he web slinged himself on top of the shelter and looked around the city. But Jaune wasn't feeling as great.
"Ugh, it's so humiliating taking money from Glynda," Jaune said with disappointment in himself. "I should head out into the city and try to pay it forward." Jaune said as he leaped up from his spot and started to web swing, ready to start a new day in his Spidey life.
"So, that's the end of that." View said as the screen turned off. "Thoughts?
"That was pretty good." Ruby smiled. "As always"
"I just wished for a bit more action," Yang said.
"I was fine for how things turned out." Pyrrha said. "Except for one moment."
"You mean when Jaune got a call from his exe?" Nora asked.
"Actually I meant when he got evicted." Pyrrha said in a slightly annoyed tone. "But yes, I wasn't too...fond of that."
"Me neither." Velvet said in agreement, Yang nodded as well.
"Well it could be worse." View said. The girls turned to him, expecting for him to say something. "Oh I've got nothing to add, I'm just saying... y'know it could be worse." View shrugged.
"Thanks, View." Yang groaned. "Thanks for that."
Thanks for reading this chapter of Worlds of Arc.
It has been quite some time since I did a chapter for this story. And I did say it probably wouldn't take me too long...yeah, I probably should be a bit less specific, less I need to be. Plus, I needed to take a break for a little bit from doing this.
Also, I know I'm late on this, but we've past my two year anniversary of doing this story. Here's to another year.
Some people are probably confused or annoyed that I didn't reveal Black Cat character yet, trust me, it'll come along the way. And please do not ask for any DLC stories, I'm already busy with this story to do it.
Anyways, Next chapter will be easier for me to handle as it'll be a little shorter than this. I'm being vague I know, but I'll try and take less time. Thanks and see you around!
