Author's Opening Note: Well, here it is folks. My final (for now) cinematic universe adaptation. I hope you all enjoy it, because I'll be giving all I've got in writing this one. Special thanks to Zweig andDustiniz117for helping me with the cast. This one may have slower updates due to changes in my work schedule, but I promise you all that this adaptation will be finished. And this one may have been a bit rushed, so if I made any mistakes, please point them out for me.
Plus, for those of you who haven't heard the bad news yet, legendary actor James Earl Jones, who voiced Darth Vader and Mufasa, passed away on September 9th. Rest in peace, Mr. Jones. You will be dearly missed.

Review Responses
Guest, September 9th- I already write adaptations like that in my one-shot fic. But I like the ideas. Thank you.
Mando-24: "The Incredibles" is the next film, but I'll probably write more Indy adaptations in my one-shot fic.
Guest, August 21st: Predator will definitely make it to my one-shot fic.
razmire: That idea occurred to me, but I decided to cast the Parr family differently. Nothing personal. I just think Summer and Taiyang had enough time in the spotlight.
JJTurtquoise: Thank you so much. I'm happy to hear that I inspired you to write your own react story. PM me when you publish it.
EmeraldStirling: You bring up a good point about "Ironman" and the difficulties it would bring. Anyway, I love your casting recommendations for the Parr family. Not too sure about Mr. Hugh and Edna though.
ASpanishReader: Hmmm, I've never seen or heard of that one. I'll check it out and get back to you on that.
razmire- I don't know if it's to late to give casting suggestions, but I think that having Taiyang and Summer as Bob and Helen, as well as Ruby and Yang being Dash and Violet would be a nice way for them to be a whole family in one of these great and entertaining movies. Also, I can easily see Coco being cast as Edna Mode.
Pharamine: Hell yeah. The Red Death showdown was awesome. I'm happy your excited about the Incredibles winning
HunterPrimeAW5M3: Those were good choices, but I went with a different cast.
StrongGuy159- I haven't heard of that franchise. I'll look into it and see what I can do in the one-shot fic.
blaiseingfire: You are very welcome :)
LoamyCoffee: I heard about that. She was a great VA and she'll be dearly missed. I hope "The Incredibles 3" will be good.
Random65- So I've heard. I hope it's good.
keybladelight- Unfortunately, yes. Work is getting in the way, so I've gotta cut back on writing. Such is life.
RedFire905- Well, you may still get your wish, because Spiderman (2002) might appear in my one-shot fic.
JPHardin1999- That sounds awesome! In fact, I'm pretty sure I'll adapt the "The Terminator" in my one-shot fic. I'll keep you casting ideas in mind.
.4545: I'm happy to hear that. Believe me, this adaptation will be awesome.
The film started with an old-fashioned looking film reel before a tall, handsome, and muscular black haired with a thin beard appeared. He looked to be in his mid-twenties, and was wearing a black mask and a black and blue costume with a red circle on it. He was trying to attach what looked like a microphone on his chest. Chatter could be heard in the background.'
"There's my dad," Blake instantly identified her father. "He's younger here, though. Probably in his twenties."
"Hubba hubba," Yang murmured sultrily, admiring Mr. Incredibles jacked physique.
"He sure has pumped a lot of iron," Harriet commented as she ogled Mr. Incredible, eliciting nods from a few other grinning female members.
"Ahem!" Blake angrily cleared her throat. "Would you all stop drooling. That's my father," she admonished.
"But why is he dressed like that?" Qrow asked in puzzlement. "Is he a pro wrestler or something?"
Ghira tapped on the microphone. "Is this on?" he asked.
"That's fine," a female interviewer.
Ghira smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I can break through walls, I just can't..."
"That's fine."
"I can't get this on," Ghira grunted before he finally clipped the microphone on.
"So, Mr. Incredible... Do you have a secret identity?" the interviewer questioned.
On cue, white lettering spelling "Mr. Incredible" materialized beneath Ghira.
Ghira smiled in a casual pose. "Every superhero has a secret identity. I don't know a single one who doesn't," he answered truthfully. "Who wants the pressure of being super all the time?"
This revelation prompted gasps and exclamations of delight from some of the nerdier viewers.
"This is a superhero movie?!" Jaune beamed with widened eyes.
Ruby and Nora gasped deeply. "Awesome!" the latter squealed with delight.
"This is gonna be great!" Oscar excitedly chowed on some popcorn.
"What do you think his powers are?" Marrow wondered aloud.
"They must be impressive if he's called Mr. Incredible," Ozpin presumed.
The scene switched to another interviewee. It was a black-haired woman in a red mask and a white costume that had an E on the chest. "ELASTIGIRL" appeared underneath her.
"Of course I have a secret identity," Kali said, rolling her eyes. "Can you see me in this at the supermarket? Come on. Who'd want to go shopping as Elastigirl, know what I mean?"
Blake leaned forward in surprise. "Mom's a superhero too?" she exclaimed.
"Lucky you, Blake," Ruby complimented, wondering if Blake would show up in the viewing.
Elm nodded in agreement. "And she's right about having a secret identity. It much safer that way to protect your families and friends from your enemies."
Next, came a man in a light blue-and-white costume being interviewed. The top half of his head was covered in a white mask with a blue visor over his eyes. "FROZONE" appeared underneath him before he spoke.
"Super ladies, they're always trying to tell you their secret," Frozone said before lowering his voice. "Think it'll strengthen the relationship or something." He threw up his hands and laughed before resuming. "I said, "Girl, I don't want to know about your mild-mannered alter ego." I mean, you tell me you're a super-mega-ultra-lightning-babe, that's all right with me." He looked to his side. "I'm good. I'm good."
Weiss and Whitley both immediately identified Frozone from his voice.
Winter did a slight double take. "W-Whitley? As a superhero?!" [1]
"I never thought I'd see such a thing?" Weiss laughed a little at the revelation.
"I like that visor. It looks pretty cool," Yang commented.
"Frozone, huh? Sounds like he has ice powers to me," Ren presumed.
The film switched back to Mr. Incredible.
"No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again," he half-joked, half-griped, gesticulating. "Sometimes I just want it to stay saved, you know? For a little bit. I feel like the maid. "I just cleaned up this mess."
Many people nodded, sharing Mr. Incredibles sentiments. Soldiers and hunters could hardly catch a break, especially on a planet like Remnant.
"I know precisely what you mean, Mr. Incredible," Ozpin sighed deeply. "I spent millennia cleaning up the messes Salem makes."
Ironwood nodded lightly. "Just like with hunters. Your work is never done as long as there's Grimm running around," he said.
"Can we keep it clean for ten minutes?" Mr. Incredible finished as he started laughing.
There was a round of laughter from the crewmembers.
"I could get to that point," the interviewer chuckled.
Mr. Incredible got up and walked towards the camera. "Please?" he hollered out.
"Don't get up yet. We're not finished," the interviewer stopped him.
A few minutes later, Mr. Incredible was seated again and looked more relaxed as he continued.
"Sometimes I think I'd just like the simple life, you know? Relax a little and raise a family," he said with a thoughtful look.
"We'd all like to do that eventually," Qrow said solemnly.
"Fighting criminals and supervillains is cool and all, but I'd want to retire someday if I were one," Jaune agreed with Mr. Incredible.
Maria nodded. "There is more to life than just combat and saving the world all the time," she said wisely.
Ironwood cupped his chin. "But how do superheroes operate? Do they work for the government, or are they independent?"
"Well, supers are employed and registered by a branch of the Vale Council call the VSA (Vale Super Agency)," Gold-Sith supplied.
Clover nodded. "Like huntsman and huntresses," he noted the similarity.
Switch back to Elastigirl.
"Settle down? Are you kidding?" she laughed. "I'm at the top of my game! I'm up there with the big dogs! Girls, come on. Leave the saving of the world to the men? I don't think so. I don't think so."
"Right on, Elastigirl!" Yang cheered with a fist pump.
"Yeah! Girl power," Nora joined in.
"That'll show them we're not just damsels in distress," Harriet finished defiantly.
The scene faded to black. Then a bright, orb of yellow light glided across the blank screen, as a golden "i" in an orange circle appeared. The little orb struck the dot while bombastic and heroic music played. Then the "i" and circle rotated to spell out films title: "THE INCREDIBLES" in red lettering. A bongo drum joined, then the words zoomed in to create another flash.
"The Incredibles, huh?" Ren read the title, curious about the implication.
"I love this music," Jaune bobbed his head slightly.
"It's got big superhero vibes to it," Marrow agreed, already feeling pumped up by theme song.
The scene cleared and opened onto the streets of Vale. A police car with its siren blaring was in hot pursuit of another car with two-armed bank robbers and bags of money inside. One of them cocked his sub-machine gun and leaned out to fire at the police. The police car swerved into the oncoming lane while the cop riding shotgun returned fire with his handgun.
Elsewhere, Ghira Belladonna, now dressed in a tuxedo, was cruising down another street in his own car.
"The architecture and vehicles look like they're from a few decades ago," Penny observed the aesthetic onscreen.
"Just like those old-fashioned superheroes that were around when I was a kid," Qrow added, looking back on his childhood.
"On a different note, your father looks pretty sharp in that tuxedo," Elm complimented Mr. Incredibles wardrobe.
"We interrupt for an important bulletin," a news reporter spoke from the cars radio.
Curious, Ghira turned up the radios volume to hear the report.
"A high-speed pursuit between police and armed gunmen is underway, traveling northbound on San Pablo Ave," the reporter said.
Frowning, Ghira hit a switch. The radio flipped over to display a high-tech green screen map while center console unveiled a control panel with various buttons, switches and a dial. Ghira turned the dial downwards from one panel labelled, "MANUEL," past two others reading, "HOVER MODE," "HYDRO MODE," before stopping at "ISOLATE PERSUIT." The screen zoomed in on a moving "I" to indicate Ghira's current position, with the settings words flashing underneath. Two squares indicating the robbers and the cops, one red, the other blue, were moving quickly a couple of blocks north-east of his position.
"It's one of those high-tech spy cars from those secret agent movies," Marrow pointed out.
"I saw hydro and hover mode. I wonder if we'll get to see them in use," Penny observed, scratching her chin with interest.
"Well, whatever mode he chooses, about to see Mr. Incredible in action," Ruby said eagerly.
Ghira checked his watch and smiled. "Yeah, I've got time," he said softly.
He then turned the dial past down to "MERGE PERSUIT" mode. The screen displayed the same words, then "AUTO DRIVE" in larger text beneath it as the "I" began to take the fastest route toward the high-speed pursuit.
As he released steering wheel, the car drove by itself, avoiding traffic. As this happened, Ghira's seat reclined back, and he lifted his arms over his head. The other seats collapsed as Ghira slid into the middle, a pair of metal bars folded over chest and locked together. Next, they slid over his body, removing the tuxedo to reveal his superhero outfit concealed beneath. Mr. Incredible returned to a sitting position as two gadgets fitted his blue gloves onto his hands, completing the outfit. Ready for action, Mr. Incredible smiled as he retook control of the car.
"Cool. It can drive itself and quickly dress him in his superhero suit," Marrow complimented the vehicles features.
"I wish we had features like that built into some of our vehicles" Ren said with desire. "It would save time for getting dressed for battle."
Mr. Incredible observed the map, which revealed that his "I" signal was now closer to the two, hot pursuit cars, along with the text "INTERCEPT MODE" and "CONVERT" in larger flashing text beneath. The car then transformed from a mundane, civilian sleeker, black-and-blue model, with Mr. Incredibles "I" logo on its hood. Flames plumed from the back of its powerful exhaust as he took a left turn onto a crossway. Mr. Incredible then pushed a red button to engage the afterburner and releasing even more flame while the car sped down the street.
Penny raised her fists. "What a sensational vehicle!" she lauded the Incredbile.
"I want that car so bad!" Yang said with jealously.
Nearby, a short elderly woman was standing on the sidewalk gazing upwards when she spotted the Incredibile approaching.
"Oh, Mr. Incredible," Fria called out and wandered into the street.
Mr. Incredible spotted Fria and quickly hit the brakes, bringing the car to a smooth stop.
"Fria," Winter said under her breath, surprised to see the Winter maiden onscreen.
"Geez, lady. You trying to get run over?" Harriet reprimanded the old woman's recklessness.
"She's lucky Mr. Incredible saw her," Vine remarked.
Mr. Incredible rolled down the window. "What is it, ma'am?" he asked.
"My cat Squeaker won't come down," Fria explained as she pointed up a tall tree.
As Fria said, an orange and white striped cat was up in the branches, meowing.
"Awww. Poor kitty," Elm cooed at the animal.
"Reminds me of when Zwei chased me up a tree that one day," Blake recalled irritably.
Yang, Ruby, and Weiss all giggled as they remembered what Blake was talking about.
"Oh yeah. And you wouldn't come down until I called him off," Ruby said with a hand over her mouth.
Weiss giggled again. "He wasn't chasing you. He just wanted to play with you, Blake."
Mr. Incredible exited his car. "There could be trouble," he said as he approached the tree.
"No, no, he's quite tame," the woman assured, not understanding.
"Not trying to sound like a dick, but shouldn't he focus on stopping those bank robbers first?" Qrow suggested.
"Qrow is right. Mr. Incredible needs to get his priorities straight," Ironwood agreed.
As the chase under fire went throughout the streets, Mr. Incredible ripped the tree out of its roots and began to gently shake the branches the cat was hanging from, directly over the lady's outstretched hands. But the stubborn feline wouldn't let go.
"Come on down, Squeaker," Fria beckoned her cat.
"Wow. He just ripped that tree out of the ground like it was nothing," Ren commented.
"So, he possesses superhuman strength," Vine noted.
Mr. Incredible heard an alarm from his car. On cue, the car chase suddenly rounded a corner, on the opposite side of the park. And they were getting closer very quickly.
Mr. Incredible shook the tree harder. "Let go now…" he said through clenched teeth.
Still, the little cat still kept his grip on the branch. The robbers' car rounded the next corner, coming dangerously close.
"Forget the stupid cat. Focus on the bank robbers!" Marrow shouted.
Blake crossed her arms and huffed in offense, which Marrow noticed before coughing into his hand apologetically.
Finally, Squeaker let go and dropped down into Fria's arms with an irritated meow. Without a moment to spare, Mr. Incredible lifted the tree up and swung it around, so it blocked the road. The robbers couldn't stop in time and crashed into the tree, sending them flying into the windshield, groaning. The police car safely stopped next to them.
"Oooh!" a few people winced at the crash.
"They're gonna feel that in the morning," Yang remarked.
"Hey, two birds, one stone," Harriet commented.
Mr. Incredible placed the tree back and turned to the grateful officers.
"Thank you, Mr. Incredible. You've done it again," one of the cops said.
"Yeah, you're the best," the other added.
Fria and squeaker smiled in agreement.
"No, I'm just here to help," Mr. Incredible smiled and waved off the praise.
"Such humbleness," Ozpin remarked.
"Now that's the mark of a true hero," Ren said with reverence, eliciting a few nods.
A new report from the Incredibiles police scanner drew everyone's attention: "All units. We have a tour bus robbery..."
"Tour bus robbery," Ghira muttered before checking his watch, then nodded. "I've still got time."
"Looks like he's gonna have a full day," Marrow chuckled a bit.
Nora tilted her head slightly. "But time for what?"
Yang shrugged. "Probably something in his civilian life," guessed.
"Officers. Ma'am. Squeaker," Mr. Incredible bid his small audience farewell before swiftly jumping back into his still running car.
"Cool! Ready for take-off!" a youthful voice piped up.
Weiss cocked her brow. "Hmm?"
"Who is that?" Ruby asked aloud.
"It sounds like a kid to me," Vine noted.
Mr. Incredible turned to see a young boy was sitting in the passenger seat. He had black hair, buck teeth, mildly tanned skin, and wearing a cheesy homemade costume, including a cape tied around his neck.
"What the…who are you supposed to be?" he asked, perplexed.
The turned to Mr. Incredible. "Well, I'm IncrediBoy!" he proclaimed with his hands on his hips.
A few people snickered, unamused by the boys' antics.
"IncrediBoy?" Winter scoffed.
"He's probably some diehard fanboy looking for an autograph," Jaune guessed.
Ironwood squinted his eyes. "Is it just me…or does that kid look familiar."
"What? No," Mr. Incredible said as he lowered his gaze, pondering. You're that kid from the fan club." He said as he wagged his finger around, trying to guess the boy's name. "Arty…Arturo…A-Arthur!" he got it. "Arthur!" he repeated angrily.
"My name is IncrediBoy!" Arthur said petulantly.
Ironwood blinked in surprise. "That's Watts as a child? I never would have guessed it."
"I wouldn't have figured him to be a superhero fan, either," Winter added with a sip of water.
"So, what's the deal? He wants to be Mr. Incredibles sidekick?" Jaune questioned.
Mr. Incredible ran a hand through his hair. "Look, I've been nice, I've stood for photos, signed every scrap of paper you pushed at me..." he groaned, exasperated. "But this is just-"
Athur waved his hands. "No, no, no, you don't have worry about training me," he interrupted as he performed karate chops. I know your moves, crime fighting style, favorite catch phrases, everything!" he boasted as he got onto his knees in the car seat. "I'm your number one fan!" Arthur proclaimed with a wide grin.
A moment later, Athur was sent flying out of the car via an ejector seat, and he tumbled onto the grass. Next, The Incredibiles afterburner boosted up and the car zoomed away.
"Hey! Hey, wait!" Athur protested, reaching out for the vehicle.
A few people snickered at the boy's embarrassment.
"Better go home kid. It's getting late," Marrow said teasingly.
"Reminds me of when I first met Ms. Goodwitch in Vale," Ruby remembered that fateful night.
"I remember that. But you weren't nearly as bad as Arthur's counterpart," Ozpin assured.
Elsewhere on a rooftop, a thief was rifling through a pile of purses and pocketbooks he'd stolen for anything valuable. From behind, a shadow fell over him.
"You know, you can tell a lot about a woman by the contents of her purse, but maybe that's not what you had in mind," Mr. Incredible said as he walked threateningly towards the thief.
The thief backed and drew a pistol. "Hey, look..." he shakily aimed it at Mr. Incredible.
Suddenly, a red blur from around a corner hit the thief in the jaw, knocking him down in a groaning heap.
"What was that?" Marrow asked in alarm.
"It looked like a fist," Penny observed with narrowed eyes, noticing the arm looked…stretchy.
Shocked, Mr. Incredible looked around the corner and a familiar superheroine stepped out of the shadows as violin music played.
"Elastigirl," Ghira said, sounding surprised.
"Mr. Incredible," Elastigirl replied mockingly, hands on her hips.
Seeing Elastigirl and her curves in full view took more than a few of the guy's breath away.
"Well, she certainly hasn't skipped leg day," Qrow commented as he ogled Elastigirl.
"I'll say," Marrow agreed with a slight purr.
"Ahem!" Blake coughed, prompting the men to apologetically clear their throats.
Elastigirl lifted up the purse snatcher by his sweater, but Mr. Incredible stepped forward. "No. It's all right. I've got him."
Elastigirl shrugged. "Sure, you've got him," she said, dropping the thief. "I just took him out for you."
"Yeah. She did beat you to the punch," Yang joked with a sly grin.
"Yangs bad pun aside, Elastigirl did get him first," Elm noted.
"Because Mr. Incredible had him distracted," Marrow retorted, earning a few glares from the girls.
"Sure, you took him out," Mr. Incredible retorted. "His attention was on me.
"A fact I exploited to do my job," Elastigirl boasted.
Mr. Incredible gestured to himself. "My job, you mean."
Clover nodded. "That's a smart move, actually. Utilize any advantage you can to win a fight," he commended Elastigirls thinking.
"A simple thank you will suffice," Elastigirl
"Thanks, but I don't need any help," Mr. Incredible said politely as the violin music kept playing.
A few people cooed or squealed softly at the flirty banter between the two heroes. Blake wondered if her parents were already in a relationship in this universe yet.
Elastigirl put her hands on her hips. "Whatever happened to "ladies first"?" she asked.
"Well, whatever happened to equal treatment?" Mr. Incredible smirked.
The thief staggered to his feet. "Hey, wait, look, the lady got me first-" he began to defend Elastigirl, but the heroine just punched him again without looking, her arm stretching slightly to reach him.
Nora laughed. "Even he's siding with her."
"I see Elastigirl possesses stretching abilities like mine. Hence the name," Vine realized, wondering what the full extent of her powers were.
Weiss giggled. "They sound like a married couple already."
"Yeah. This sounds all too familiar to me," Blake smiled, reminded of playful chatter at the Belladonna residence.
"Well, we could share, you know," Elastigirl suggested, sauntering closer.
"I work alone," Ghira declined with a smile.
Elastigirl ran her fingers up Mr. Incredibles chest. "Well, I think you need to be more," she purred, their lips drawing closer before Elastigirl quickly slipped behind him, swept through between his legs and finally came back in front, "flexible," she finished sultrily.
"Oooooh!" the girls hollered and whistled.
"Oh, they're definitely in a relationship," Blake nodded, half-expecting this was how her parents interacted before tying the knot.
Mr. Incredible blinked. "Are...you doing anything later?" he asked awkwardly.
"I have a previous engagement," Elastigirl said as she ran and jumped off the roof then used her stretching powers to bound across the neighboring rooftops toward the setting sun. Mr. Incredible let out a long, whistle.
"Real prize winner, that guy," Marrow complimented, feeling a bit jealous of Mr. Incredible.
"I'll say," Jaune agreed while a few other guys nodded in agreement.
Oscar scratched his chin. "I wonder how they first met."
"Maybe during an argument on who caught a thug or villain first," Ren chuckled rhetorically.
Sometime later, around evening, Mr. Incredible handcuffed the glaring purse snatcher to a pipe on the roof.
"Now, you just stay here," Mr. Incredible falsely assured. "They usually pick up the garbage in an hour."
The loud sound of a helicopter's rotor and gunfire drew his attention. Mr. Incredible looked over and saw Frozone was in pursuit of a helicopter, creating ice ramps in mid-air to slide across.
"Hey, Incredible!" Frozone called over.
"Hey, Frozone!" Mr. Incredible called back.
"There goes Whitley," Winter pointed at the screen.
Nora gasped. "He creates ice ramps to slide down?! That's looks like so much fun!" she bounced in her seat until Ren put a hand on her shoulder.
"So, he does have ice powers? That's pretty cool," Yang made a pun with a sly grin, eliciting groans and sighs.
"I take it he and Ghira are acquainted," Ozpin guessed, ignoring Yang. "Perhaps they've fought criminals and supervillains together."
"It's like superpowers are substitutes for semblances in this universe," Winter remarked.
"Shouldn't you be getting ready?" Frozone reminded as he jumped and clasped the choppers landing gear.
"I still got time," Mr. Incredible assured.
"But what is Mr. Incredible supposed to be getting ready for what?" Ren asked what everybody was wondering.
"Judging from the tuxedo, it's probably a dinner or a wedding," Ironwood presumed. "But whatever it is, I got a feeling he's going to be late."
An offscreen scream rang out, shifting Mr. Incredibles attention away from Frozone.
A few people went rigid upon hearing the scream.
"Uh-oh. Sounds like trouble," Oscar said nervously.
Mr. Incredible looked down and saw a crowd had gathered in front of another building across the street, panicked chatter emanating from them. Police cars and spotlights were parked in front as well.
"He's gonna jump!" a woman shouted.
Mr. Incredible looked up, and spotted a man was indeed standing on the ledge of a skyscraper's rooftop, the spotlights down below illuminating him.
Oscar and Ruby gasped and got ready to cover their eyes in case the man jumped.
"Oh my Gods!" Weiss put her hands over her mouth.
"Catch him, dad!" Blake cried out.
The man jumped, prompting screams from the crowd. Mr. Incredible sprang into action as he then he backed up a few steps, timed his jump, and then broke into a spring. With a great jump, he sailed through the air, caught the man in mid-fall, and both went crashing through an office building window, then tumbled across the floor before coming to a stop.
"I think you broke something," the man groaned in pain.
Mr. Incredible got up. "Well, with counseling, I think you'll come to forgive me," said simply in mild amusement.
Sighs of relief mixed with groans of "Ooooh" filled the theater.
"It's very fortunate the sudden stop and tumble didn't kill him," Ironwood said morbidly.
Maria nodded. "No offense to your father, Blake. But that was a poorly handled rescue," she criticized.
Blake would have protested, but sighed and nodded in silent acknowledgement Maria was right.
"Wait a minute," Mr. Incredible mumbled as he rose to his feet.
The hero gently dragged and propped the jumping man up against a nearby desk. His sixth sense for danger was piqued as he moved to a lit hallway nearby. From there, a soft beeping sound could be heard.
Blakes ears twitched. "I hear something," she murmured.
"Me too," Marrow chimed in as he picked up the sound.
Mr. Incredible placed both hands and his ear against the wall where the beeping sound was emanating from. In fact, it was accelerating. Realizing what it was, Mr. Incredible tried to jump away, but it was too late as the wall exploded.
"Dad!" Blake cried out in alarm.
"Don't worry, Blake. I'm sure he's all right," Yang assured her partner.
From the freshly blasted hole in the wall stepped out a tall, slender man dressed as a mime with white face makeup and a beret. Twin crossing bandoliers were strapped over his chest holding what looked like explosives. He was carrying two bags full of money. An accordion played in the background while he flashed a smug, tooth smile.
Everybody was thrown for a loop when they recognized the villain despite his heavy make-up.
"What the hell…is that Tyrian?" Jaune asked in befuddlement.
The theater was silent for a few seconds before nearly everyone burst out laughing at how ridiculous Tyrian's counterpart looked.
Yang caught her breath. "Why is he dressed like a mime?!" she questioned Tyrians get-up. [2]
A coughing Mr. Incredible pushed off the heavy vault door the explosion had launched at him, not a scratch on him.
"Bomb Voyage!" Mr. Incredible growled, taking up a fighting stance.
"Mr. Incredible...!" the villain snarled back.
"So, he possesses superhuman durability as well," Ironwood noted.
"That fits. Superheroes with super strength tend be super tough as well," Marrow
Oscar snapped his finger. "So, he's one of those classic heroes from the old days," he deducted.
"Good thing. I was worried there for a second," Blake breathed with a hand to her chest.
The two adversaries were about to face off.
"And IncrediBoy!" a familiar voice shouted off-screen.
The two men turned to see Athur standing in the broken window in a superhero's pose.
"IncrediBoy?" Tyrian said, perplexed.
Qrow facepalmed "Oh no. Not this kid again," he grumbled.
"How did he even get up there?" Weiss asked, perplexed.
Utilizing a pair of crude looking rocket boots, Arthur flew over to the annoyed looking Mr. Incredible.
"Hey hey hey! Aren't you curious about how I get around so fast? I have rocket boots!" Arthur boasted as he lifted a foot to show Mr. Incredible.
"Wow. For a little boy, that's very impressive," Penny conceded Watt's prowess with technology.
"Perhaps. But it takes more than gadgets to be a superhero," Winter refuted Penny.
The unamused Mr. Incredible was fed up. "Go home, Arthur. Now!" he said irritably.
"What?" Arthur said incredulously.
"Little oaf!" Tyrian sneered, just as unimpressed.
"Can we talk?" Athur gently pulled Mr. Incredible to the side.
Yang rolled her eyes. "Why can't this kid just take a hint, already?" he sighed.
"Youthful stubbornness. The kid is eager to prove himself," Ironwood answered with a frown.
"I understand the boy wants to be a hero, but this is just too much," Jaune sighed, reminded only too much of when he snuck into Beacon.
Arthur approached the detached vault door. "You always say be true to yourself, but you never say which part to be true to," he said, looking at his reflection in the vault door. "Well, I've finally figured out who I am. I am your ward. IncrediBoy!" he declared as he walked back to Mr. Incredible, spreading his arms out.
But Mr. Incredible still wasn't convinced. "And now, you have officially carried it too far, Arthur," he stated, shaking his head.
Tyrian tried to sneak away, but Mr. Incredible grabbed him by the collar and brought him to face level, forcing him to drop the money.
"Not so fast, Tyrian," Ruby said smugly.
"Mr. Incredible had better turn him in quickly before he slips away," Clover suggested strongly.
"Oh, I don't think he's going anywhere," said confidently.
"This is because I don't have powers, isn't it?" Arthur accused, becoming angry himself. Not every superhero has powers, you know. You can be super without them," he stated, gesturing to his boots. I invented these. I can fly. Can you fly?"
"Nooo, it's because you're just a little kid," Harriet said as it should have been obvious.
"And he doesn't want you to get hurt," Maria finished Harriet's thoughts. "So quit while your ahead before something happens."
"Fly home, Arthur. I work alone," Mr. Incredible refused once again to accept Arthur's offer.
"And your outfit is totally ridiculous!" Tyrian added.
A few people laughed at Tyrian's humorous hypocrisy.
"Says the guy dressed like a mime," Yang giggled with a hand over her mouth.
"I hate to admit it, but he's right," Ruby said as she caressed her cloak. "That's not even a real cape."
But Arthur just wouldn't give up. "J-just give me one chance!" he implored "Lo-I'll show you. I'll go get the police," he said as he turned and ran toward the hole in the window.
Seizing his chance, Bomb Voyage smirked and flung a bomb onto Arthur's cape.
"Uh-oh," Oscar muttered, sensing big trouble was coming.
"Take off the cape, kid!" Elm shouted.
"Oh man, this is gonna end badly," Marrow predicted, his teeth clenched.
Mr. Incredible noticed. "Arthur, don't!" he shouted.
Arthur glanced back. "It'll only take a second, really!" he said, oblivious to the danger.
"No, stop!" he yelled urgently as he released Bomb Voyage and chased after Arthur. "There's a bomb!"
The audience groaned in exasperation or disappointment that Bomb Voyage would likely get away.
"Sneaky bastard. Taking advantage of the kid to make his escape," Qrow growled, having no doubt the real Tyrian would do something similar.
Mr. Incredible leaped and grabbed Arthur's cape just as the boy took off flying out the window. While the rocket boots were strong enough, Arthur's flight pattern was rendered erratic with Mr. Incredible dangling from his cape, desperately trying to pluck off the bomb.
"Let go, you're wrecking my flight pattern!" Arthur shouted, unaware of the bomb on his cape. "I can do this if you let go!"
"Will you just...land!" Mr. Incredible ordered as he struggled to grab the bomb.
"I'm trying to help! Stop! Let go of my cape!" Arthur babbled as he jerked around and flew amidst Vale's skyline.
"Listen to him and land, you stupid ankle biter," Harriett yelled at the screen.
"I don't know how long that bombs fuse is, but Arthur's running out of time!" Vine said tensely, gripping his armrests.
Finally, Mr. Incredible managed to grab the explosive and ripped it off Arthur's cape, releasing his hold on the boy at the same time. The hero and the bomb both fell and landed atop a railroad bridge.
The bomb bounced and settled on the railroad tracks, its beeping speeding up until it detonated; the explosion creating a twenty-foot gap in the tracks.
Ruby's eyes widened. "Oh no…"
"Oh man…if a train shows up-" Jaune began to tempt fate.
Mr. Incredible groaned and glanced up in time to spot an oncoming train turn around the bend up ahead, and then looked down at the gap in the tracks.
Nora tensed up. "The trains coming!" she cried while Jaune sighed deeply.
"Dad! Do something! Hurry!" Blake, hoping her father's counterpart was strong enough to stop the train.
Without time to think of a better solution, Mr. Incredible jumped across the gap, sprinted toward the train, then stopped with his hands held out. He winced in preparation of the impact, knowing even he would feel some pain.
The train hit Mr. Incredible. Inside the train, all of the passengers on board cried in alarm at the sudden decrease in speed.
Back outside, Mr. Incredible groaned as he was squished against the front of the train and pushed down the tracks, wooden planks flying up from under his feet. While the train quickly lost its momentum, the first car still slid partially over the gap and towards the street below before finally lurching to a stop. Mr. Incredible dangled from the front while panicked screams and shouts came from inside the and its lights flickered off.
Sighs of relief and applause emanated through the theater at Mr. Incredibles accomplishment.
Blake shot the screen a thumbs up. "Great job, dad."
"That was a close one," Winter breathed, hoping none of the passengers were killed or badly injured.
"Stopping that train was incredible. He's truly earned his name," Ozpin praised.
"Yeah. Even I'm not that strong," Yang admitted, feeling even more attracted to Mr. Incredible for his amazing strength. And she wasn't the only one.
"But what about Tyrian…I mean, Bomb Voyage?" Oscar remembered the villain.
Back down on the street, the police and fire department had arrived to aid the train passengers. An angry Mr. Incredible pulled a surly looking Arthur by the arm over to the same pair of cops he'd met earlier.
"Take this one home," Mr. Incredible passed Arthur to one of the officers. "And make sure his mom knows what he's been doing."
"I can help you! You're making a mist-Hey!" Arthur protested before the cop shoved into a police car.
"No. You made the mistake," Weiss stated sternly.
"Oh, he's gonna be in biiiiig trouble when his mom hears about this," Ruby said, shaking her head slowly.
"Mom and dad would have grounded us until we both turned 18 if we tried something like that at his age. At best..." Yang said with a little gulp.
Mr. Incredible jerked his thumb at the building. "The injured jumper. You sent paramedics?"
"They picked him up," one of the officers informed.
"The blast in that building was caused by bomb Voyage who I caught robbing the vault," Mr. Incredible reported. "We might nab him if we set up a perimeter."
"You mean. He got away?" one of the cops asked in surprise.
"Well, yeah," Mr. Incredible gestured to the pouting Arthur sitting in the car. "Skippy here made sure of that."
"IncrediBoy!"
"You're not affiliated with me!"
At this point, everyone was annoyed at of the kid's interference and unwillingness to accept that Mr. Incredible didn't want a sidekick
Elm rolled her eyes. "Jeez. Give it up, already kid," she groaned.
"Yeah, seriously. You've caused more than enough trouble already," Yang added.
"I really hope that boy learns something from this," Ozpin said sternly.
Mr. Incredibles watch chimed an alarm. "Holy smokes, I'm late!" he exclaimed before pressing a button. "Listen, I've gotta be somewhere," he told the cops as he backed up.
One of the officers stammered. "What about bomb Voyage?" he asked.
The Incredibile pulled up via a homing device in Mr. Incredibles watch.
"Any other night, I'd go after him, but I really gotta go," Mr. Incredible quickly explained as he hopped into his car. "But don't worry. We'll get him! Eventually!" before speeding off while the cops stared in confusion.
"He should focus on catching Tyrian first," Ironwood advised. "Whatever he's late for, it can't be more important than catching a dangerous supervillain."
"Don't sweat it, Jimmy," Qrow gave an assuring wave. "I'm sure Mr. Incredible will catch him next time."
Mr. Incredible pulled up in front of a church, parked the car, and converted it back to its civilian model. Organ music could be heard playing inside.
Inside, Whitley was examining his nails when the front doors swung open behind him and Mr. Incredible entered in his tuxedo but still wearing his mask.
"Hey," Mr. Incredible greeted. "Is the night still young?"
"You're very late," Whitley answered bluntly.
"Oh, it is a wedding," Vine said happily.
"I wonder who's getting married?" Ruby wondered, then realized it. "Oh…"
Blake smiled warmly. "I think I know," she figured out.
"How do I look? Good?" Mr. Incredible asked as he headed for the chapel doors.
But Whitley stopped him. "Oh, the mask. You still got the mask," he said before removing said mask.
Ghira cracked his neck, preparing himself "Showtime," he said softly before entering.
At the alter, the priest recited the wedding vows." Ghira Belladonna, will you have this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?"
The camera panned down to reveal Kali, Elastigirl's secret identity, was Ghiras bride.
Soft joyful gasps and coos sounded out, especially from the female audience members.
"I knew it. I wish they were here to see this right now," Blake said as she felt mushy inside.
"Ohhh, that's so touching. I love weddings!" Ruby gushed.
"Me too," Elm said dreamily.
Concurrently, the new couple began bantering again. "You're late," Kali started. "When you asked if I was doing anything later, I didn't realize you'd forgotten."
"I thought it was playful banter," Ghira replied.
"It was. Cutting it close, don't you think?"
Ghira leaned down. "You need to be more flexible," he used Kali's earlier words against her, though she couldn't help but smile.
A round of laughter rang out at Ghira and Kali's playful bickering.
"The ceremony isn't even over yet, and they already sound like a married couple," Nora said with a broad smile.
"Well, he wouldn't be late if it wasn't for Bomb Voyage and IncrediBrat," Harriet said heatedly.
Kali looked up at her groom. "I love you, but if we're gonna make this work, you've gotta be more than Mr. Incredible," she said. "You know that. Don't you?"
"So long as you both shall live?" the priest just finished the wedding verse.
"I do, Ghira offhandedly amended.
"I pronounce this couple husband and wife," the priest finished.
With that, the newlyweds kissed passionately while the audience, which consisted of civilians and superheroes alike, applauded. They included Maria Calavera in a black suit, Ozpin in a brown suit, and Bartholomew Oobleck aka Gazerbeam dressed in dark and light blue suit and visored, metal helmet. In the foreground, Whitley, the best man, smiled happily for his friends.
A few people in the audience clapped and whistled at the new couple.
"Look. Dr. Oobleck is a superhero too," Ruby pointed at the screen with a smile, wondering what his powers were.
"And there's me again," Maria pointed at the screen before sighing wistfully to see herself young again. "What kind of part do Ozpin and I play,
"Well, Ozpin is an agent who works for the NSA and Maria designs superhero suits," Gold-Sith answered concisely, drawing nods from the two individuals.
"This takes me back to their wedding day twenty years ago," Ozpin remembered happier times.
Blake wondered to herself if her counterpart would appear as a super herself in the future.
The couple finished their passionate kiss.
"As long as we both shall live. No matter what happens," Kali added.
"Hey, come on. We're superheroes. What could happen?" he said in a carefree manner.
The joy from the marriage faded a bit from Ghira's line.
"You really shouldn't tempt fate, dad," Blake cautioned her father.
Oscar nodded. "Yeah. Whenever somebody does that, something bad tends to happen."
The next scene showed black-and-white newspaper spun out and stopped upright, the headline reading: "MR INCREDIBLE SUED". Beneath the headline was a photo of an upset Mr. Incredible being hounded by reporters.
"In a stunning turn of events, a superhero is being sued for saving someone who, apparently, didn't want to be saved," a news broadcaster gave his report.
The audience looked shocked at the news report.
"He had to say it, didn't he," Maria sighed with a facepalm.
"Huh? Sued for what?" Blake said.
"Who would ever want to sue Mr. Incredible?" Nora in disbelief.
"The plaintiff, Oliver Sansweet, who was foiled in his attempted suicide by Mr. Incredible, has filed suit against the famed superhero in Superior Court," the newsman continued.
Oliver Sansweet was shown in a newsreel, his neck wrapped in a brace, before the scene changed to a ground-level recording of his suicide attempt and Mr. Incredible's intervention.
Sansweet's lawyer spoke to a group of reporters while his client stood next to him. "Mr. Sansweet didn't ask to be saved, Mr. Sansweet didn't want to be saved! And the injury received from Mr. Incredible's," he made a quoting gesture, "'actions,' so quote, cause him daily pain!"
"Hey!" Mr. Incredible angrily pointed at him from the right. "I saved your life!"
"You didn't save my life! You ruined my death! That's what you did!" Sansweet shot back while his lawyer held him back.
"Listen, you little-" Mr. Incredible snarled before being cut off by his respective lawyer.
"Stop dad! You're making it worse!" Blake urged through clenched teeth.
"What an ingrate!" Harriet snarled.
"So now he's got a reason to live because he might get some money out of this lawsuit?!" Yang said with outrage.
"My client has no further comment at this time!" Mr. Incredibles attorney said quickly.
Mr. Incredible reluctantly stopped talking.
Next, a recording of the damaged train being tended to by police and firemen was shown while the reporter resumed his broadcast.
"Five days later, another suit was filed by victims of the Vale train accident. Incredible's court losses cost the Vale council millions."
The report was accompanied by a caricature drawing of an uncomfortable Mr. Incredible being leered at by a large group of the train accidents passengers wearing various types of casts and their respective attorney pointing at him accusingly.
Yang clenched her fists. "That's bullshit! The accident wasn't even his fault!"
"Yang is right. It was that Bomb Voyage and that damn kid's fault," Jaune agreed.
Qrow sighed heavily. "It makes no difference. The press and legal system don't care who's responsible. They just want a scapegoat to settle the entire matter with."
"And thanks to Sansweet, those train accidents victims felt emboldened enough to sue a high-level superhero," Clover deducted.
"And opened the flood gates for dozens of superhero lawsuits the world over," news reporter went on, film showing more newspapers appeared with headlines reading "X-RAY VISION PEEPING TOM?" and "DYNAGUY SUED".
"I've seen this happen. Predatory lawyers everywhere looking to make a name for themselves by taking cases like this," Ozpin said with a mix of grief and anger.
"Indeed. Sometimes when a hunter slips up, some ambulance chaser convinces the victim to sue," Ironwood added angrily.
"Sounds like something my father would do if he were a lawyer," Weiss snarled lightly.
Next, a female politician was shown giving a speech. "It is time for their secret identities to become their only identity."
Next, an exasperated looking Mr. Incredible was just finishing with a speech, two suit-clad men with sunglasses flanking him. Waving to the crowd, he turned and walked away in shame.
"Time for them to join us or go away!" the politician declared.
Then a group of protesters holding up picket-signs with anti-super slogans written on them and chanting "No more supers!"
Blake froze. "What's that supposed to mean?"
Next there was a series of newspaper clippings of hero monuments being demolished, headlines of the government concealing heroes and public polls displaying high levels of approval.
"Under tremendous public pressure, and the crushing financial burden of an ever-mounting series of lawsuits, the government quietly initiated the superhero relocation program. The supers will be granted amnesty from responsibility for past actions, in exchange for the promise to never again resume hero work."
The audience was shocked and outraged at the unfairness of it all.
"After all they've done, this is the thanks they get?!" Yang yelled.
"So that's it? No more superheroes?" Ruby asked sadly.
"Even so, that's a stupid law. Who's going to fight supervillains otherwise? It's like outlawing huntsman," Oscar reasoned, fearing for the future of Vale.
"Supervillains won't care. This will only make it easier for them to operate," Vine said with dread. [3]
"Where are they now?" the reporter asked rhetorically as the newsreel cut to a group of people walking down the sidewalk. "They are living among us. Average citizens, average and anonymously continuing to make the world a better place."
The next scene opened to a stamp pressing the word "DENIED" in bold, red ink onto a sheet of paper. The camera then tilted up revealing an elderly, bespectacled woman sitting before a desk in a cubicle.
"Denied? You're denying my claim?" the woman questioned, confused.
Next, Ghira Belladonna was revealed sitting behind the next looking down at the old woman. He was now closer to his RWBY age, very overweight, with a thicker beard, and wearing a grim expression on his face. A white text reading: fifteen years later.
Everyone was taken aback by Ghira's current appearance. They hardly recognized him from his slimmer, cheerier, energetic former self.
"Geez, dad. What have you done to yourself," Blake commented on how much her father let himself go.
"I know it's difficult at his age, he could at least try to stay in shape," Ironwood said bluntly.
The old woman stuttered. "B-but I don't understand. I have full coverage," she said, tapping the sheet of paper.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Hogenson," Ghira said dully. "But our liability is spelled out in paragraph 17. It states clearly."
"I-I can't pay for this," Mrs. Hogenson stammered in near despair
Elm held her hand up. "Hold the phone. He works for an insurance company now?"
Yang looked stupefied. "That's the job he chose after retiring?"
"That explains why he's depressed and out of shape," Weiss said in understanding. "A workplace like that can suck out your soul."
Ghiras desk phone rang. "Excuse me," he answered it. "Claims, Ghira Belladonna.
On the other end from the Belladonna household, Kali, aka Elastigirl, was giving a black haired, baby boy a bath in the kitchen sink while she spoke on the phone wedged between her head and shoulder.
A few of the women cooed "Awww!" at the baby, whom Jaune immediately recognized the baby. "Adrien? B-but he's part of my family, not Blake's" he said in confusion.
"Well…here he isn't," Nora said simply with a shrug. "You know, multiverse and all."
"No surprise there. Ruby and I weren't related at all in the Alien universe," Yang reminded.
"I'm calling to celebrate a momentous occasion," Kali explained. "We're now officially moved in."
Back to Ghira. "Yeah, well, that's great, honey," he said monotonously. "And the last three years don't count because…?"
"It could be worse. At least he and Khali have maintained their marriage all these years," Ozpin noted, which was more than he could say for himself and Salem…
"And his job pays well enough to support his family," Penny added positively.
"And at least she's kept her figure for the most part," Qrow commented under his breath.
"Because I finally unpacked the last box," Kali continued in a chipper mood. "Now, it's official. Ha, ha, ha. Why do we have so much junk?"
Weiss looked puzzled. "Only three years in their current house?"
Ren shrugged. "It's possible that they moved. If Ghira's been with the company for a while, do that frequently," he guessed.
"Listen, honey, I've got a client," Ghira informed Kali.
"Say no more. Go save the world one policy at a time, honey," Kali said in understanding as she stopped Adrian from drinking from a soap bottle. "
"Oh! I gotta go pick up the kids. See you tonight,"
Nora tilted her head. "Kids. As is plural?"
"I'm guessing I'm one of them," Blake presumed, then looked pensive about the possibility of children of super couples having powers of their own.
"Bye, honey," Ghira hung up and looked at. "Excuse me. Where were we?"
Mrs. Hogenson was sobbing at this point. "I'm on a fixed income, and if you can't help me, I don't know what I'll do," blew her nose into a handkerchief.
"Poor woman," Elm said sadly. "It can't be easy living off a pension alone."
"Unfortunately, having insurance doesn't guarantee you'll get a payout. There's plenty of loopholes and technicalities that can screw you out of a claim," Weiss said, remembering several SDC employees undergoing such hardship.
"That's why you always read the fine print and know how to navigate through the bureaucracy," Ren said wisely.
Ghira looked at the old woman with pity. He then peaked out of his cubicle to see if the coast was clear.
Seizing his chance, Ghira leaned forward. "All right, listen closely. I'd like to help you, but I can't. I'd like to tell you to take a copy of your policy to Norma Wilcox on..." Ghira then passed over a notepad and pen. "Norma Wilcox. W-I-L-C-O-X. On the third floor. But I can't." he tapped on the notepad, still glancing around for any witnesses.
Understanding, Mrs. Hogenson began to jot down the instructions she was being given, mouthing them to herself.
Maria's face lit up. "Oh. I see what he's doing," she realized. "He's telling her what paperwork to fill out and what loopholes to go through to get her claim approved."
"So even here, he's helping people. He's still a hero in his own way," Clover praised Mr. Incredible.
Blake smiled with pride. "Good job, dad."
"I also do not advise you to fill out and file a WS2475 form with our legal department on the second floor," Ghira continued almost under his breath. "I wouldn't expect someone to get back to you quickly to resolve the matter. I'd like to help, but there's nothing I can do."
Mrs. Hogensons spirits returned. "Oh, thank you, young man," she said gratefully.
Ghira stood up. "Sorry. I know you're upset!" he called out, turning a few heads from his co-workers. "Pretend to be upset,"
Mrs. Hogensen walked out of Ghira's cubicle while putting on a convincing sobbing act.
Laughter filled the theater at Mrs. Hogenson's acting, as well as relief that Ghira was able to help her sort out her insurance problem.
A short middle-aged woman dressed in a white skirt and blouse pushed past Mrs. Hogenson and stormed into Ghira's cubicle."Belladonna!" she shouted.
Ghira immediate stood up in alarm, knocking over a cup of pencils on his desk.
The woman slapped a folder onto Ghira's desk. "You authorized payment on the Walker policy?!"
"Someone broke into their house, Ms. Cordovin," Ghira tried to reason, scratching the back of his head. Their policy covers-" [4]
But Cordovin cut him off. "I..I-I-I don't wanna know about their coverage, Ghira! Don't tell me about their coverage! Tell me how you're keeping Insuricare in the black!" she ranted.
Ghira could only stare at his supervisor in frustration.
"Tell me how that's possible, with you writing checks to every Harry Hardluck and Sally Sobstory that gives you a phone call!" Cordovin finished her tirade and stormed out of the cubicle.
Penny shook her head. "I still don't like her," she said bluntly.
"Join the club," Maria snarked as she sipped her tea.
"She sounds like one of those insurance CEOs who's only in it for profit and bleed out their clients for all their worth when making claims," Weiss made an astute observation.
"It was clever of him telling Mrs. Hogenson to act upset. Otherwise Cordovin could have found out and chewed him out even more," Vine deducted with a nod.
"Or maybe even fire him," Blake fretted, feeling sorry for her dad having to put up with Cordovin.
Just as Ghira dropped back into his seat, there came an announcement over the PA: "Morning break is over. Morning break is over."
To emphasize his frustration, Ghira's pencil case fell off the desk.
Qrow frowned. "Jeez…retirement hasn't been easy for Ghira."
"Well, it can't be all that bad. Like Ozpin said, his marriage is still stable," Clover reasoned.
"And we haven't seen his relationship with his kids, yet," Yang finished, hoping Blake would show up as a super.
Author's Footnotes
[1]- Choosing Frozone's counterpart was difficult, but in the end, I felt that Whitley was the best choice for Frozone, since he's a Schnee, becoming a better person, and I've got a feeling he'll be playing a substantial role in RWBY Volume 10.
[2]- I didn't bother having Tyrian speak French and wrote it so that mimes exist on Remnant as well to save some time.
[3]- Some foreshadowing on just how Syndrome/Watts was able to lure and murder so many supers to Nomanisan Island and remain under the radar, since most of the aforementioned heroes fell out of contact following the Super Relocation Program.
[4]- I originally planned to cast Jacques as Gilbert Hugh, but I feel he's being overused as a greedy and evil businessman. Besides, with her short stature, Cordovin feels like a better match to me.
