Chapter 6:
"Hey Ruby, I'm going to Vale to run an errand, you wanna come?" Yang shouts as she gets her motorcycle Bumblebee revved up.
"Coming Yang wait up!" Ruby shouts back, getting ready to leave with her sister.
When Ruby comes out, with their father coming out to see them leave, she is caring a notebook and pen strapped to her waist. Ever since Spider-Man appeared, she couldn't help but be fascinated in the vigilante. Spider-Man was a real life superhero, stopping crime and helping anyone who needed help. Ruby hoped that she could at least see Spider-Man with her own two eyes.
"Ready to go Rubes?" Yang asked her little sister.
"Ready! Oh this is gonna be so much fun! Do you think we will see Spider-Man in Vale?" Ruby asks.
"I don't know. Let me guess, you wanna ask for his autograph, cause don't think I don't see your notebook right there." Yang teases.
"Maybe, if I can find him. He's just so cool! He's a real life superhero, can't you believe it, he's just like the heroes in the stories you used to read to me when we were little." Ruby rants enthusiastically.
"He seems pretty cool, I just find those pajamas he wears a bit funny. I don't think red and blue can get people to take him seriously though. He looks silly." Yang chuckles.
"Well I think his costume looks cool." Ruby pouts.
"Agree to disagree. Anyways let's get going, I got things too though and in the meantime you can look for your superhero idol in Vale." Yang says, handing Ruby a helmet to wear.
"Okay then let's go. Bye Dad! We'll see you later!" Ruby shouts to their dad.
"Bye girls, be careful! And stay out of trouble Yang!" their father shouted back.
"I'll be fine Dad! You don't have to worry, see you later!" Yang says, as she drives with Ruby towards Vale.
"So Yang, what are you going to do in Vale?" Ruby innocently asks.
"Oh just some boring errands I got to do, I want to be ready for Beacon." Yang responded, telling the partial truth.
"That's cool, promise to write back and visit during winter break?" Ruby asks.
"I promise." Yang responds.
Ruby smiles in response, happy about Yang's promise, but slightly sad that Yang will be leaving for Beacon soon. But for now, both sisters will be in Vale doing their own separate activities.
After a while, Yang and Ruby arrive in the city of Vale. Ruby being extremely excited at the chance of seeing the web-head in action, and hopefully get an autograph from him. Once they arrive, Yang stops, allowing Ruby to hop off so she could explore Vale on her own.
"Ok Rubes, I'll meet you back here later alright." Yang says.
"Alright later Yang!" Ruby tells her sister.
Once Yang leaves, she starts to head towards Jr's first, deciding to get that out the way before doing her errands. She wanted to get any info on a certain someone she has been looking for years now. She just hopes she can get answers soon.
A little while later, Yang arrives at the club and enters inside. Once inside she looks around for the owner of the club and spots him at the bar of the club. She approaches the bar, sitting down and says "Strawberry Surprise, no ice, and a small umbrella too."
The owner of the bar turns around and looks at Yang for a moment, after a few seconds he gets the drink she ordered and passes it to her.
"Thanks" Yang says, taking a sip of her drink. "Hey quick question, but have you seen this woman?" Yang asks, showing the man a picture of a woman with black hair, and red eyes.
The man looks at the picture for a split second and replies "No."
Not pleased by how quick he answered, Yang just says "I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that. Can you come in closer and say it again."
"I said No."
"A bit closer.
"No."
"Closer.."
"Are you deaf? I said N-"
But the man didn't get to finish his sentence as Yang grabs his groan, squeeze a bit hard, hurting the poor guy.
"Now I'm going to ask again, have you seen her?" Yang asks with a menacing tone.
"No I haven't I'm telling the truth!" the man respond.
Yang just stares at him for a moment, deciding that this was a huge waste of time, she says" Ok then, sorry about. How about a kiss to make it up." In a flirtatious voice, letting go of his groan.
While confused by the change in tone, the man foolishly believes her and prepared to receive a kiss, only to be meet by a punch to the face.
"Grr you'll pay for that brat!" He shouts in anger, while putting on red shades.
The man then signals for his guards to come out and deal with the blonde bombshell. "Get her!"
"Alright, Bring it on!" Yang shouts, getting out her shotgun bracelets.
/
Meanwhile, a few blocks away, Spider-Man had just finished dealing with a few White Fang goons, whom he spotted while on patrol. He had followed them into another warehouse full of crates filled with Dust. He fought and restrained each one of them in webs, all knocked out, well except for one.
"Now, since you're the only one awake I got some questions. Who's getting you guys to steal all this stuff? I doubt you all do this with our some sort of reason or profit." Spider-Man asks the webbed up Faunus.
"Go to hell traitor!" the White Fang goon spats out.
"We aren't getting anything out of this guy, got any better ideas Parker?" Venom asks.
"How about this."
"Ok them if don't tell me who hired you guys, then I can't promise you won't come out of this alive." Spider-Man threatened, leaning in closely.
"Yeah right, your nothing but a boy scout! You won't do anything!" the goon mocks, all be it a bit startled at how close Spider-Man was getting.
"That didn't work, may we suggest-"
"Sure, I was hoping The Stare I used back home would work, but it didn't. But only this once, can't have people know." Spider-man agreed.
"Oh yeah, this is going to be fun." Venom gleefully states.
"So what now web-head? Going to turn me over? Cause you ain't getting nothin outta me!" the goon gloats.
"Fine, guess we're doing this the hard way." Spider-Man replies.
Before the goon could ask what he meant, the lights starts to flicker. After a few flickers, Spider-man disappears and then repeats in a all black suit with the white spider emblem on his chest. Confused on how Spider-Man changed suits quickly, he asked "What the hell! How did you do that!"
"Now I'm going to ask again, who hired you guys?" Spider-Man asked again, with an echo in his voice.
"Like I said, I ain't talking!" the goon replies, a bit scared at the change in tone of his voice.
"Fine then, you asked for this."
Before the goon could ask what he meant, Spider-Man masked suddenly opened up what appeared to be a huge mouth filled with sharp teeth. This terrified the faunus, filled with fear, he watched as Spider-Man opened his mouth unnaturally wide. Spider-man then came in closely, looking as he was about to bite his head off.
Traumatized, he then shouts, "WAIT DON'T EAT ME, I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
"THEN TALK!"
"His name is Roman Torchwick, he has us stealing as much dust as we can find! I don't know where he is, but I do know he frequently hires men from a guy called Junior! There's a club a few blocks from here, you can try and find him there!" the terrified faunus yells.
"Are you telling the truth?" Spider-Man asks, the faunus nods. "Good, and for the record. N o o n e w i l l b e l i e v e y o u." Spider-Man says, the lights flickering, with him disappearing. The White Fang goons just stares ahead of him, traumatized from the experience, until he faints from to much adrenaline pumping through his blood.
A few moments later Spider-Man lands on the rooftop of a nearby building, with the symbiote retracted back inside his body.
"Oh yeah! That was fun! We didn't expect that maliciousness from even you! If only you should more of that side of you, then maybe we would tolerate you even more." Venom cheers in excitement, finally happy to be able to do something like that.
"Yeah, I don't think I want to do that again, it felt weird. And I am not malicious, I was just acting. You were probably being the malicious one." Spider-Man retorts.
"Nope, all we did was form around you, at most we probably just enhanced any already existing negative emotions you harbor within your mind and soul. Admit it, you probably enjoyed letting out some of that negativity onto someone." Venom responds.
"No I did not, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt about my emotions. I'll just have to find a way to control them. Or maybe I can find a way to release all this pent up rage before it gets out of control." Spider-man states.
"Maybe we can go into a nearby forest and hunt those rip-off's. We would love to destroy as many as those things as possible. They are soulless so you don't have to be a wuss and go all out on them, maybe we can take advantage of that and hone all of our abilities there." Venom suggests.
"That doesn't seem like a bad idea, we just have to be deep within the forest so no one can find us going all out. But I might hesitate a bit at first, never really killed anything before." Spider-Man replies.
"What about Osborn? Technically you killed him by damaging his glider causing him to crash into his own pumpkin bombs." Venom points out.
"I'd rather not think about that right now. In my anger, I ended up taking Harry's dad away. I know Norman wasn't a good guy, especially now that I know about him being the Goblin and him framing Harry, but I never wanted him dead." Spider-Man says, sulking a bit.
"Well either way, Osborn is gone and New York is safe from him. I see that as a win." Venom states.
"Of course you do."
"Why don't you stop feeling sorry for yourself and get on with what we were doing originally. Weren't you supposed to find a guy who might know where this Torchwick is located?" Venom chastises, getting annoyed at it's hosts self-pity.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm going. I need to start drinking coffee, especially with dealing with late night patrols and you." Spider-Man says, shooting a web-line so he can swing towards his destination.
"Wait, did we ask which direction the club was?" Spider-man asks.
"……. No." Venom responds, a bit annoyed at the hiccup in their plan.
"My bad, I'll remember to ask which direction next time. But the good news is it has to be in the area, shouldn't take that long." Spider-Man says hoping to make light of the situation.
"This is going to take a while, isn't it. Who are we kidding, we mostly like already passed the place already." Venom states.
"C'mon have a little faith in me, I'll find it in the next five minutes, if not I'll buy four boxes of chocolate, deal?" Spider-man offers.
"Deal."
And in the next five minutes, Spider-Man….. didn't find it, it looks like he owes the symbiote that chocolate now.
"Alright Parker, we expect those boxes of chocolate soon." Venom says, a bit happy that it benefited from Spider-Man's mistake.
"God damn it, fine I'll get you those chocolates, stupid Parker luck." Spider-man complained.
"That's your excuse for everything, come up with another lame excuse." Venom mocks.
"Nope, I stand by that. Something unlucky always happens to me on one way or another. I doubt there's anyone one out there with worse luck then mine." Spider-Man complained.
/
Meanwhile, a man with spikey black hair and red eyes sneezed into his sleeves, only for it to be covered in snot.
"Damn it."
/
After a few more minutes of looking, Spider-man had looked everywhere for this supposed club. Unfortunately, the web-head couldn't find the club so he decided that he would look for it tomorrow. But just as he was about to swing away, his spider-sense alerted him towards a building to his right, a few block down. When he arrives, he sees that there has been slight damage to the building, and a man who has been knocked unconscious, seemingly looking as if he got sent flying through the window. But what catches his attention, is a damaged sign on the building, with the letters spelling out "Junior's".
"Ok hear me out, there is no way someone calls their club Junior's. That sounds like something you would call a mini restaurant or something, not a freaking night club." Spider-Man tries to defend himself.
"As much as we hate to say this, you have a point, naming a club that is got to be one of the stupidest things we have ever heard in our entire existence. I'll accept three boxes then." Venom agreed.
"I'll take that deal. Now then, I guess we fish out answers out of this guy then? He's probably the owner." Spider-Man says, hoping he was right.
Spider-Man proceeded to jump down towards the man, but just as he gets down, a girl with long blonde hair, lilac eyes. She was wearing a brown leather jacket, orange scarf, black shorts and a brown utility belt. He also noticed that she had yellow gauntlets on each of her arms.
Spider-Man looked at the girl, then the man, and finally at the damaged night club, trying to put the pieces together. After a few moments, The blonde noticed Spider-Man looking back and forth multiple times. After another few moments of silence, she decided to speak saying, "Watch looking at, checking me out huh?" in a flirtatious tone.
"What?! No I just- uh, did you do this? Cause it must have been one heck of a party if you did. Normally I end up causing property damage, either intentionally or not." Spider-man quickly answers.
"Oh, that? Yeah it was one heck of a party, should have been there you would have had a lot of fun." The girl boasts.
"Well I guess you must have been the bomb of the party then. Kind of wish I found this place a lot sooner then." Spider-Man quips.
"Yeah you should have been, there was a DJ bear, he was roaring the house before." Yang says, making a pun.
Spider-Man chuckles a bit at the pun, finding it funny. The symbiote on the other hand, "Oh God this is getting out of hand, now there's two of them."
"Oh c'mon it wasn't that bad." Spider-Man states.
"Better than your attempt at humor at least." Venom jokes.
Spider-Man just ignores the insult and asks the girl, "Anyways, is this guy Junior by any chance, I got questions I need to answered."
"Yup, good luck getting anything out of him, he doesn't like to talk much." The girl responds.
"I think I can make him talk, well guess I should g-"
"SQUEEEEEEEEE!"
Both Spider-Man and The blonde girl turn to around to see a younger girl with black-reddish hair and silver eyes, in a black dress with red outlines and a red cape. Before Spider-Man could ask her if she is alright, the blonde says "Oh hey Ruby, how's it going? Any luck finding Spider-Man." Ina jokingly manner.
"You're Spider-man!" Ruby shouts.
"Yep, that's me, the one and only Spectacular Spider-Man, don't forget the hyphen in the middle." Spider-Man quips.
Ruby is just in awestruck at the site of the web-head. Spider-Man was about to ask if she was alright but is then bombarded with a ton of questions from the young girl.
"Didyoumakethatcostumeypurself?Whatsyoursemblelence?Ohdoypuhaveanyweaponsandifsowhatatethey?"
However before Spider-Man could either answer or Ruby could ask any more questions, the blonde just pulls her back by her cape and then puts her in a headlock.
"Yang!"
"Sorry about my sister here, she's sort of your biggest fan. All she ever talks about is how cool of a superhero you are." The girl now known as Yang says.
"Wait you two are sisters? You don't look all that alike." Spider-man points out.
"Different moms." Both of them say at the same time.
"Uh, that's interesting. Anyways I didn't think I had any fans here, normally people just call me menace when ever I'm around." Spider-man bluntly states, confusing the two sisters.
"As much as I would to chat with little red here, I got some interrogation to do with this guy here." Spider-man says, as he webs up the unconscious Junior and picks him up. "Later bombshell and red riding hood, try not to get into any trouble, byeeeee." He says he swings away.
"Uh? Wait no! Aw man I didn't even get an autograph." Ruby says in disappointment.
"Maybe next time, but don't you think it was the way he thought people saw him as a menace?" Yang asks.
"Now that I think about it, yeah. But why does he think that? Everybody sees him as a hero, right?" Ruby asks sadly.
"I think so, all the news ever does is talk about how much good he does. Maybe he hears it from the bad guys he fights, since those type of people are most likely the ones he interacts with the most." Yang suggests.
"Probably." Ruby says. "By the way, did you finish everything you needed to do?" Ruby asked.
"Crap, no I didn't. Um can you wait for me just a bit longer?" Yang pleads.
"Fine, I'll be at the Dust till Dawn looking at any new weapons magazines. You owe cookies for making me wait that long." Ruby pouts.
"Thanks Rubes you're the best, be back in a bit!" Yang says, leaving Ruby by herself.
Ruby just chuckles a bit and leaves towards her destination, she just wished she can get another chance to meet Spider-Man again and get an autograph.

"Uhg, wh- what the hell?! Where the he am I?" A now conscious Junior asks, finding himself wrapped in webs dangling high up from the ground.
"Ah finally awake sleeping beauty?" Junior hears from above him. Junior looks up and sees Vale's famous Vigilante looking down at him, holding a web string attached to the web cocoon he is trapped in.
"Spider-Man?! Where the hell am I?! How did you find me?!" Junior demands.
"Now, now, I'll be asking the question here. As much as I would like to mess with you, I'm on a bit of a hurry so I'll cut to the chase. Where's Roman Torchwick?" Spider-man asks, with very little patience on voice.
"What makes you think I'll tell you anything? You ain't gonna do nothing. You're nothing but a boy scout!" Junior scoffs.
"Hmph, that's what they all say." Spider-man says in a serious and angry tone, startling Junior. "Look I'm not feeling patient today, so here's the deal, either you tell me what I want to know, or I'll drop you. And if you think I'm bluffing, do you really want to find out? Cause I ain't playing any games today." Spider-man says, staring into Junior's eyes.
Junior contemplates if he should talk or not, it felt like he was starring straight into his soul. After a few moments of silence, Junior notices Spider-Man slowly letting go of the web-line holding him. Afraid that he wasn't bluffing, Junior shouts, "Ok! Ok! I'll talk!"
"Good, now where's Torchwick?" Spider-man demands.
"He visited me at my club earlier before Blondie tore the place. Said something about robbing some dust store called "From Dust till Dawn". Junior answered.
"And where can I find this place? I want directions." Spider-Man demanded again.
"It's a few blocks north from my club! It has a huge sign on the front of it you can't miss it! Now please let me down!" Junior pleads.
"Ok no problem." Spider-Man says, letting Junior fall. Junior screams in terror, closing his eyes waiting for the inevitable. But when he feels that he is still alive, he opens his eyes to see he had stopped a few feet from the ground, now hanging from a lamp post.
"Word of advice, wording. Maybe you can apply it to the name of your club!" Spider-man quips at Junior as he swings away. Leaving Junior for the authorities to arrive.
"Don't, I know what you gonna say and I'll say it again, I do not." Spider-Man says.
"Sure keep denying it, we know that deep down you enjoy a bit. You have to admit that you are at least more effective if you just let loose even a little." Venom replies.
"Yeah and risk anyone getting hurt from my recklessness." Spider-Man retorts.
"You mean more than you already are?" Venom chuckles.
"Ok, more reckless then, but you should know what I mean." Spider-man responds.
"Whatever, let's just finish our mission so we can go rest. This day is getting tiring, and we do not need two of you." Venom states, remembering the interaction from earlier.
"C'mon I thought that's was funny. Don't you have a sense of humor? Oh wait no you don't." Spider-Man mocks
"Of course we do, your embarrassing failures are funny to us." Venom laughs.
"Ugh! Why are you like this. Let's just go catch Roman before he gets away." Spider-man replies.
A couple minutes later, Spider-Man arrives at the dust shop Junior mentioned.
"Here it is, gotta admit, that's a clever name, props to the store owner." Spider-Man quips.
"Agreed, now we suggest we wait until-"
But just before the symbiote could finish talking, the window of the store bursts open, with Ruby kicking a man in a suit out of it.
"Never mind, something happened already." Venom sighs in frustration.
"Huh, little red riding here can fight too, guess it runs in the family. Welp don't wanna miss this action." Spider-Man quips.
Ruby unsheathes her scythe, preparing to take down the last two goons in black as they rush towards her. But before anyone could do anything, the two goons were snatched up by web-lines and pulled up.
Ruby and Roman both look up to see the men in web cocoons, with Spider-Man perching above them.
"Hey there, looks like you started this party without me, don't worry though I don't plan on missing this one." Spider-man jokes.
Ruby is ecstatic at see Spider-Man for the second time today, while Roman seemed annoyed at the interference of two wannabe.
Looking at the downed henchmen Ruby took down he says, "You were worth every cent. Truly, you were. Now then, red, web-head." He says looking at the both of them. "I think we can all say this was an eventful evening, and as much as I would love to stick around.." Roman says as he lifts his can at Ruby, "…I'm afraid this is were we part ways."
Roman then fires a red blast at the girl. In less than a second Spider-man swoops in and shot a web-line at Ruby, pulling her out the way.
"You alright?" Spider-Man asks with concern.
"Uh yeah I'm fine. But look he's getting away!" Ruby shouts, pointing to Roman who was climbing a ladder up a nearby building.
"Crapbaskets, alright I ain't letting him get away." Spider-Man says, jumping up high, running up the wall.
"Wait for me!" Ruby shouts, zooming towards them, using her weapon to fly up.
Once Spider-man arrived on the top of the roof, with Ruby landing behind him, they see Roman stop at the edge of the other side of the building.
"Welp looks like you're out of luck Rome, just cooperate and I won't beat you to badly." Spider-Man quips.
"Persistent.." Roman slightly growls. Just then, a bullhead rises up with a hatch opening allowing him to get inside.
"Ok where the hell did that come from!! Not even we saw that!"
"I have no idea, this makes no sense too me either!!"
"End of the line reds!" Roman shouts, throwing a red Dust gem at their feet. He then lifts his cane, preparing to shoot it.
"Crapbaskets!!/Not again!!"
With little time to react, Spider-man tackles Ruby to ground, preparing to use his body to shield her from the explosion.
The chain reaction of Roman shooting the gem causes a large explosion, covering the roof in smoke.
"Ho ho ho!" Roman began laughing, but he soon stopped when he saw someone after the smoke clears. "Huh?"
Confused on why he didn't feel pain, Spider-man looks up to see a familiar looking woman in a purple cape and glasses, she was waving her wand casting a circle of protection over him and Ruby.
"Holy crap isn't that the woman who scolded me a while back? Guess you were right about her Symbie." Spider-man admits.
"Of we were right, we recommend to be careful about her still." Venom says, cautious on what could be a potential threat.
Spider-Man then gets up, helping Ruby up as well. "Thanks for the save, I probably would have become grilled spider from the explosion." He quipped, getting a slight chuckle from Ruby.
The older woman just ignores him and summons multiple purple streaks at the bullhead. Roman then runs to the cockpit, attempting to keep his balance, where there is a woman in red was attempting to keep the craft stable.
"We got a Huntress!" Roman shouts, getting the woman's attention. The woman then let's go of the controls, allowing Roman to grab them and keep the craft stable himself, and head to the back.
Meanwhile, the woman with the purple cape glows purple for a moment, and then sends a blast of energy at the bullhead. After getting hit, a storm cloud forms above the craft.
"What the he-" but hail then began to pummeled the craft, crashing through the windows interrupting him.
Spider-Man and Ruby both stare in awe at the sight of the woman's abilities.
"Ahem! Shouldn't you do something! Like we don't know, web up the damn thing!" Venom chastises, snapping Spider-Man back into reality.
"Uh? Oh! Yeah, got it!" Spider-Man responds. He then shoots two web-lines holding the bullhead in place preventing it from leaving. After tying the webs to the roof, he then says, "I'm going up there to get Rome before he tries something, be right back!", slightly annoying the woman in purple.
Spider-Man then jumps up high, and lands on the bullhead, only to be shot off a fireball from a woman in red, who just came out from the front. This sent Spider-Man falling hard on his back onto the roof, damaging the back of his suit with multiple small tears, and a few open scratches with blood coming out.
Unbeknownst to the arachnid, the Huntress noticed his injuries. As she looks at him, she noticed his wounds began to heal, sealing up. While should would assume it was his aura, she noticed that there seemed to be a small, black substance appear for a moment in his wounds, and saw it heal him, making it look like he never took any damage. This puts her off for a moment, but she decided she would get to the bottom of this later, she had a job to do first.
At that moment, the woman in red who had shadows covering her face, shoots a ball of fire at the Huntress. The Huntress blocks the attack, causing it to splatter behind her. The woman in red raised her hand, causing the splatters to glow, preparing to cause and explosion.
The Huntress out of the way, dodging the explosion. The explosion causes the roof to blow up into multiple pieces of shrapnel. The Huntress then uses her magic to gather the debris and form it into a large arrow.
The Huntress then shoots the arrow at the bullhead, put the woman in red shoots it with balls of fire in an attempt to shatter it. But the arrow quickly reforms. The arrow barely misses thanks to Roman maneuvering the craft. The arrow then splits into multiple shards, pummeling the bullhead.
The woman in red then summons multiple rings of fire around her, destroying the shards.
"Am man we got a female molten man here, I really hope she doesn't shoot balls of lava either." Spider-Man internally complained.
"Are trying to tempt the universe right now?! Just web the damn thing up again and hold it in place." Venom yells, noticing the two web-lines that were holding the bullhead in place had snapped.
"On it."
Spider-Man shoots more webs and holds onto the bullhead. At the same time Ruby was shooting at the woman in red, but the woman just blocked each shot.
"Can someone squash that annoying insect already!!" Roman shouts.
"I'm an arachnid! Get it right Torchschtick!" Spider-Man quipped, angering the criminal.
Annoyed at the web-head's babbling, the woman in red creates three blazing circles around her opponents.
In response, the Huntress pushes both Spider-Man and Ruby out of the way telekinetically, and rolls out of the way herself.
This action caused Spider-Man to let go of the web-lines in surprise. He then gets up attempts to shoot more webs at the fleeing bullhead, but…
Click*
"What the- aw c'mon! I swore I had at least one more days worth left!" Spider-man complained.
"Didn't you waste a good amount on web hammocks when you felt uncomfortable on that bed back at the apartment." Venom scolds.
"I- damn it you're right. But still, it was comfy!" Spider-man states.
While Spider-man sulks at the fact that he will have to spend money on materials for webbing now, Ruby was starring at the Huntress who helped them. "You're a Huntress!" she shouts in excitement. "Can I have you're autograph?!"
The Huntress just stares at the young girl," I need you to come with me." She then looks at the web-head, who appeared to have spaced out, "Both of you." She demanded.
"Huh? Oh sorry I sort of have places to go so I'm just gonna-" but Spider-Man didn't finish his sentence as he was then engulfed in purple energy.
"What the heck?! Holy crap I'm floating!" Spider-Man shouts in surprise.
"Follow me, now." The Huntress ordered Ruby, as she leaves with Spider-Man floating behind her.
"Aw c'mon! Is there at least any peanuts on this flight?! I want a refund!" Spider-man quips.
Ruby just giggles at Spider-Man's humor, as she follows the Huntress, afraid that she might get in trouble.
"We could help you know." Venom suggests.
"And risk being hunted as a monster because people will think you're a "Grimm", yeah no. Let's just wait and see where this goes, hopefully nothing to bad." Spider-man responds.
"Fine, don't blame us if things go south."
/
Both Spider-Man and Ruby were in an interrogation room alone, with the ceiling light shining on a saddened Ruby and Spider-Man above on the corner of the right wall.
Seeing Ruby feeling down, Spider-man decided to break the silence saying, "So, what you in for?" in a jokingly manner.
"Uh? Um same as you I guess." Ruby responds a bit nervously.
"That's cool, I think I'm here my bad humor. Personally, I think I'm funny, what do you think?" Spider-man quips.
"I think you're funny, better then Yang to be honest. But don't tell her I said that." Ruby giggles.
"My mouth, is sealed." Spider-man says, making a motion with his hands as if he was zipping it closed, which got a small laugh from Ruby.
Just then, the doors open, the Huntress coming inside.
"I hope you both realize that you're actions will not be taken lightly. You both put yourselves and others in danger." She scolds.
"They started it!" Ruby shouts, trying to defend herself.
Ignoring her outburst, the Huntress continues, " Of it were up to me, you'd be sent home with a pat on the back…" Ruby began to smile at this, "..and a slap on the wrist." She finished, swinging her crop on the table, only for Spider-Man to catch it half way.
"Whoa! Take it easy! She was just doing the right thing. If anyone should be punished for reckless before it's me, not her!" Spider-Man says, defending Ruby.
This action just makes Ruby see him even more as a hero, which makes her smile. Meanwhile the Huntress stares at him in annoyance, but she was slightly caught off guard on how Spider-Man was willing to admit and take responsibility over his actions.
Deciding that she didn't want to waste time arguing with the web-head, she says, "Anyway, because of tonight's…. events, there is someone here who would like to meet you two."
This gets both of the young teens attention, they both look to see the door open again, revealing a man with grey hair and green eyes. He was wearing all green, a pair of glasses and holding a mug and a plate of cookies.
"Santa Claus? No wait, you wearing green. Oh wait are you his cousin?" Spider-Man quips.
"Hush you!" Glynda shouts at the vigilante.
"Now Glynda, please don't shout at our guest here. Try and be polite please." The old man says.
"Yeah Glyndy, were are your manners? You sure could use some." Spider-Man says in a joking manner.
While Glynda wanted to slap him on the head for his behavior, she decided to keep her cool and let the man talk instead.
The man in green then looks at Ruby, "Ruby Rose." He then looks closely at the young girl, "You have… silver eyes."
Ruby just looked dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond. Spider-Man just looked at the situation. After a few moments, he says "Awkwaaaard."
"Be. Quiet." Glynda tells the web-head, rubbing her templates in frustration.
"So, where do you learn to fight like this?" the man asks, pointing to a camera Glynda was holding, showing both Spider-Man and Ruby fighting Torchwick and his goons.
"Uh oh/Uh oh."
"S-Signal academy." Ruby responded
"They taught you how to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?" the man asked again.
"Well, one teacher in particular." Ruby answered.
"And what about you Spider-man? From what little information we have, you seemed to be quite stealthy and skilled enough to fight criminals on your own." The man asked the web-head.
"You know what they say, experience is the best teacher. I learned from trial and error. Got a few nasty scars too." Spider-Man answered bluntly, getting a slight look of concern from Glynda, all be it for just a moment.
"I see.." the man says, putting down the plate of cookies in front of Ruby.
Ruby hesitantly picks one up, takes a bite…… and proceeded to shove more cookies into her mouth.
"Hey look, she loves cookies as much as you love chocolate." Spider-Man jokes.
"We want one." Venom demands.
"Is it because it's chocolate chip? Either way I can't exactly get you one, don't want to expose you. Besides I'm not hung-"
Then Spider-Man's stomach growls, thanks to the interference of the symbiote. "Really?"
Ruby looks at the web-head, a bit embarrassed, "You want one?" she offered.
"Oh? Yeah, I'd like one thanks." Spider-Man replies, grabbing the cookie Ruby was handing to him.
Spider-Man lifts his mask over his mouth, and takes a bite of the cookie. This grabs the man's attention, looking closely while trying to look like he wasn't paying attention to him.
After a few moments, the man then looks back at Ruby and says, "About your skills Ruby, it's just that I've only ever seen one other scythe wielder of that skill before. A dusty old crow."
"Oh! That's, my uncle." Ruby says, with her mouth full. Seeing the look of disapproval of her manners on the man's face, she swallows and says, "Sorry. That's my Uncle Qrow! He's a teacher at Signal. I was complete garbage until he took me under his wing. Now I'm all like hoowaaa and witchaaa!" doing karate style noises and possess, getting a slight chuckle out of both the man and Spider-Man.
"You uncle sounds cool. Aren't uncle just best, am I right?" Spider-man says with a slight hint of sadness, something only the man and Glynda pick up.
"Yeah, my Uncle Qrow is the best!" Ruby responded to Spider-Man's question.
"So I've noticed." The man says putting down his mug on the table, sitting down opposite of Ruby. "So what's an adorable little girl such as yourself doing at a school designed to train warriors?" he asks.
"That's a good question, the field of battle isn't a place for people like her. She would get crushed." Venom points.
"C'mon Symbie, we saw how skilled she was, I think she can handle herself. But that is a good question though." Spider-man says.
"Well, I want to be a Huntress." Ruby answered.
"You want to slay monsters?" the man asked, seeing if she was making the right choice.
"That sounds like fun, legal violence." Venom says, Spider-Man just ignores him.
"Yeah!" Ruby nodded, "I only have two more years of training left at Signal! And then I'm going to apply to Beacon!" she then continues to speak faster in enthusiasm "You see, my sister's starting there this year, and she's trying to become a huntress, and I'm trying to become a huntress cause I wanna help people. My parents always taught us to help others so I thought, hey might as well make a career out of it!"
"Well great, looks like we have a mini you now, but at least she's smart enough to try and make money out of it." Venom states, slightly insulting Spider-Man's intelligence.
"You got me there, but yeah, she sort of reminds me of myself during the first three months of my time as Spider-Man back home, before all the craziness happened." Spider-Man agreed.
Ruby continues, "I mean the police are alright, but Huntsmen and Huntresses are just so much more romantic and exciting and cool and really, gosh you know! Oh! Look at Spider-Man here, he's such a cool example of what I mean!" she finishes, pointing at the web-head.
"Um thanks? I appreciate the compliment." Spider-man responds.
"Ha! You? Romantic? Please, you can't keep a relationship because you can't be there all the time." Venom laughs.
"I'm just going to ignore that, but you're wrong on me being romantic. I have no idea how to be romantic, all I do is just wing it." Spider-man responds.
The man and Glynda look at Ruby, "Do you know who I am?" the man asks.
"You're Professor Ozpin, headmaster of Beacon Academy." Ruby answered.
The man, now know as Ozpin, smiles, "Hello." He said.
"Nice to meet you." Ruby returned the greeting.
"You want to come to my school?" Ozpin asks.
"More than anything." Ruby responded.
Ozpin then looks at Glynda, who just "Hmph's" in response before looking back at Ruby, "Well, okay."
Ruby smiles in response, mouth wide open and stars in her eyes. " Now then, if you'll excuse us, we would like to speak with Spider-Man here." Ozpin tells Ruby.
Ruby agrees and gets out her chair, but before she made it halfway through the door she stops herself and yells "Wait! Before I go.." she begins, slamming a notebook she had been card with on the table. She then points to Spider-Man and says, "Autograph! Now!" she demanded, pouting. She wasn't going to let him get away this time.
"Oh! Um okay, for the record that pout is lethal." Spider-Man chuckles in embarrassment, the symbiote laughing in the back of his head.
Ozpin chuckles a bit at the interaction, while Glynda just sighs in frustration. "Miss Rose, now." She says, as Spider-Man finishes autographing Ruby's notebook.
Ruby then leaves the room, saying goodbye to the super powered hero," Bye! Good luck fighting bad guys!" she says, leaving the room.
Spider-Man was now left alone with the Ozpin and Glynda, it was silent for a moment, until Ozpin says, "So you're the vigilante known as Spider-Man."
"Yup, the one and only, so I gotta ask is there a reason you wanted to speak with me?" Spider-Man asks.
"Yes, I wanted to thank you for all the good you have done here in Vale. I also wanted to know where you came from as well, somewhere out of Vale I suppose?" Ozpin replies.
"Uh yeah, I'm new in town, I thought I'd help out while I was here. You know, do the right thing." Spider-Man answered.
"We get the feeling they know more than that." Venom states.
"Mostly likely, I hope not though, that would complicate things." Spider-Man responds.
"I see, so are you from Menagerie then, since it appears that you are a Spider Faunus." Ozpin says, trying to see anything that might contradict him.
"Oh no, I'm from a village outside of Vale. Nothing too big, you probably would have missed it." Spider-man half lies.
"You're lying, tell us the truth!" Glynda demands.
Ozpin raises his hands, signaling Glynda to stay back. " I sincerely doubt that, I like to keep tabs on every village out there, and as far as I know, there is no signs of you coming from any of them." Ozpin summarizes. "Now then, can you tell me the truth, where are you from?"
"Like I said, I'm from outside of Vale, I'm not lying." Spider-man responds.
"That I already know." Ozpin began, showing him footage of when he first appeared in Remnant, black suit and all, until it retracted.
"Ah." Spider-Man simply responds to the footage presented to him.
"WE KNEW IT!"
"Which brings me to my second question, who were you talking to?" Ozpin asks, showing Spider-Man footage of his conversation with the symbiote the night he saved the girl in white from a burning building.
"Uh, so you both already know some stuff… ok so you want the truth then I assume." Spider-Man summarizes.
Ozpin nods, seeing as Spider-Man can't exactly like about anything anymore.
"Oh boy, how do I explain this…. So um, I'm not from Remnant." Spider-man begins.
"Stop lying and tell us the truth!" Glynda shouts.
"I am, as far as I'm aware this is a different universe." He responds
"So what, you expect us to believe you're from another world!" Glynda yells, Ozpin raises his hand again, Glynda staying quiet again. "What brought you to that conclusion?" Ozpin asked.
"Well for one, the way you guys have abilities coming from within your souls, that's something that unheard of from where I'm from, maybe the rules of this universe works differently here. And second, the Grimm." Spider-Man explained.
"Can you please elaborate?" Ozpin asked, intrigued on what the web-head was about to say.
"Here's the thing, they don't exists from where I came from." Spider-man states.
"What?! But that's impossible, the Grimm have existed since the dawn of time!" Glynda shouts.
"Well for you guys, but not for the people of planet Earth, the only threat to humanity from where I come from is ourselves." Spider-Man bodily states.
"Earth? As in dirt?" Ozpin asks.
"Yep, I know sounds like a simple name for a planet, but it feels right. I mean it is a giant ball of rock and dirt, 70 percent covered in water floating in space." Spider-man responds.
"And what can you tell me about this world then?" Ozpin asks, trying to find any signs of lying on his responses.
"Where do I start, like I said, no Grimm, no aura's or semblances, humanity as pretty much conquered the planet, and general extremely boring compared to Remnant, or well, was boring." Spider-Man lists off.
"That seems, like a nice world to live in, but I noticed you referred yourself as human, do faunus not exist on that world?" Ozpin asks.
"Nope, only humans exist on Earth." Spider-Man tells them.
"Wait only humans? No faunus or any other species?" Ozpin asks, slightly surprised at the news.
"Yup, only humans." Spider-man answered.
"Wait, if you're a human from this supposed planet called Earth, then how are you able to do anything like a can spider then huh? Explain that!" Glynda demands.
"How do I put this, I'm what's called a Meta-human, or that's what people have been labeling us recently once we started appearing." Spider-Man replied.
"Meta-Human? Can you explain?" Ozpin asked.
"Sure, you already know everything else so I might as well tell you. Meta-humans are humans who have been altered either genetically or changed through technical methods, and are given abilities that wouldn't be considered unnatural, but deep down we are still human, just changed." Spider-man explained.
"I see…. So you were just an ordinary human being before?" Ozpin asked.
"Yup, just some ordinary guy minding his own business then, boom, spider bite." Spider-Man says slightly dramatic.
"I'm sorry, that doesn't explain much, how does a random spider bite allow you to do all of that?" Ozpin asked in confusion.
"A genetically altered, and apparently radioactive spider. And I know that sounds unrealistic but it's the truth, looking at you Glyndy." Spider-Man quips, pointing towards the Huntress, much to her annoyance.
"And what about any other Meta-humans? Can you explain how they came to be?" Ozpin asked.
"Well, a majority of them were created to destroy me." Spider-man began, getting both Ozpin and Glynda's attention.
"What do you mean by that?" Glynda asks, showing slight concern.
"Okay imagine this, you run a criminal empire and things go smoothly until what could be described as some genetically altered super soldier comes out of nowhere and puts you're business to halt, what do you do then?" Spider-Man asks the both of them.
"You create your own." Ozpin answered a bit hesitantly.
"Correct. But like I just said, a majority, not one, not two, but multiple people had gained unique abilities for the sole purpose of disposing me. Heck not all of them started out as super villains, some of them used to be decent people, until an accident occurred, changing them into something completely different. Heck I'm technically an accident, but no one knows that, not here, or back on Earth." Spider-Man replies
"Aren't there other Meta-humans who help you or do anything to help stop these dangerous individuals." Ozpin asks.
"Unfortunately no, there was one guy, but he got infected by spores that enhanced his abilities, but eventually those same spores turned him crazy. While I was able to cure him of the spores, turning him back to normal, he ended up addicted to the power and the desire to destroy me. Like I said, decent people who were changed for the worse. I'm sort of the only one who could even try to stop them. It gets even worse when they team up on me." Spider-Man replies.
"You mean they come together to take you down?" Ozpin asked.
"Yup, six of my rogues gallery team up to form the Sinister six. I actually had to run away the first time I fought them, they sure got me by surprise. Honestly I think it was pure luck that I was able to defeat them from now on, until a few months ago." Spider-Man says.
"What do you mean by that?" Glynda asked.
"Welp their the reason I ended up here in the first place. I was trying to stop them from stealing a particle accelerator but things went down hill when Electro, he can shoot lightning and his body is constantly producing it by the way, ended up hitting it with a huge electric blast and Shocker's gauntlet, who uses a suit to vibration based attacks, ended up next to the damn thing, charging it with even more power. And when I went to stop it from blowing up and causing any further damage, boom, it blows up and suddenly here I am." Spider-Man explained.
"That, seems like quite an interesting story." Ozpin says. "But you still haven't answered my second question."
"I was really hoping you would forget about that. If you thought me being from another world was unbelievable, then you probably wouldn't believe me if I just explained that." Spider-Man says.
"And what do you mean by that?" Ozpin asks.
"Well the black suit and my conversation on the second footage you have are connected." Spider-Man began, "You see, I'm bonded to an alien symbiote."
"You're right, that sounds even more unbelievable." Glynda says with a deadpanned expression.
"Can you prove it?" Ozpin asked with curiosity.
"Ok, this is definitely not a good idea. You are aware of the risks, right?" Venom points out.
"Not like we can hide the truth from these two forever, plus I think they suspect that I could be harboring a grimm or something, and I doubt you want them to refer to you as one." Spider-man replies, getting a slight growl in response.
Ozpin and Glynda stare at Spider-Man, looking like he had suddenly spaced out.
"Hello? Spider-Man are you alright?" Ozpin asked with concern.
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine. I was talking with the symbiote. They don't really trust you, which I understand, since you know, you both were aware of my existence since I first arrived on Remnant and saw it retract back in body."
"Hm, of it doesn't bother this supposed alien, can we see it." Ozpin asked, although a bit worried if they might be on danger.
"Alright, but fyi, it's not a grimm. If anything the symbiote thinks those things are a knock-off of it." Spider-man responds.
Before either of them could ask what he meant, a black liquid substance then comes from behind the web-head, forming what seemed to be a head the size of Spider-Man's head, with angry looking eyes, similar to Spider-Man's lenses, and a mouth filled with sharp teeth and a long tong.
"Hello." Venom says to the two.
"What the heck is that thing?!" Glynda shouts in fear.
Ozpin, despite being slightly afraid, kept his composure and asked, "So you're this alien symbiote bonded to Spider-man here?"
"That is correct, while the Spider may be more friendly, we are not afraid to destroy if you pose even a slight threat to use." Venom responds.
"We?"
"That's just how Symbie here refers to themselves. My guess, probably a hive mind or something. That or it likes to say that to sound intimidating." Spider-Man tells Ozpin.
"Hey! Stop calling us that! We are Venom!" Venom shouts.
"Whatever." Spider-Man just nonchalantly responds.
Glynda and Ozpin just stare at the two, watching as they converse between each other. Glynda couldn't take her eyes off the symbiote, she couldn't understand what this creature was. Ozpin on the other hand decided to ask "So, Venom was it? Spider-Man says you're an alien, can you explain to me what you are exactly."
"And why should we? We don't need to tell you anything." Venom responds.
"If you tell them I'll get you six boxes of chocolate. Plus I would rather you didn't get us into trouble." Spider-Man says.
"….Fine, you better keep that promise." Venom says, much to the confusion of the to Huntsmen.
"Our species is known as the Klyntar. We bound to hosts in order to survive. We are also affected by negative emotions, to be clear, we are affected by already existing negative emotions deep within a person's soul. At most we just amplify them. We repeat, we do not give hosts negative emotions, but we can use them as a way to get stronger." Venom explained.
"Just so you know, I have gotten control of these emotions after bonding with Symbie here a second time, so you both don't have to worry." Spider-Man adds.
"Which is disappointing if you ask us."
"Wait a minute" Glynda interrupts, "This, creature, wouldn't happen to heal wounds quickly, would it? Because earlier, when you fell back down from the bullhead, I saw a few scratches on your back heal quickly seconds after you got back up. I think I even saw traces of that creature inside the wounds right before they sealed closed." Glynda points out.
"Huh?" Spider-Man says looking at his back where the large red circular spider emblem was, "Aw man! Now I have to buy materials to patch this up!" Spider-Man complained, looking at the tears in his costume.
"Very perceptive Remnant dweller. Yes we can heal the wounds of our hosts. We can also enhance the abilities of our hosts even more, making them stronger and faster. But as of right now all we are doing is just healing any wounds he would receive out in the field of crime fighting." Venom answers.
"Don't forget the part where you even copy the abilities of the host. After we unbonded for the first time, Symbie here gave it's next host access to all my abilities. He's even immune to my spider-sense, which is a sixth sense that alerts me to incoming danger. Oh and access to all my memories, and yes it's concerning." Spider-Man adds, giving both Huntsmen even more reason to be more cautious of the symbiote.
"You're embarrassing memories are funny to watch."
"Could you not!"
"I see, and where do you come from?" Ozpin asked further.
"I would also like to know, you never answered my question a while back." Spider-man adds.
"Doesn't matter, we live here now." Venom responds, refusing to elaborate further.
"Welp, guess we're not getting anything out Symbie here, I already tried bribing Symbie before with more chocolate, didn't work. So is that all you wanted to know?" Spider-Man asks, knowing the answer to his question.
"Well actually, I wanted to know the person behind the mask. I also want you to tell me directly that you're telling the truth." Ozpin says.
"Nope, bad idea." Venom says.
Glynda would tell the symbiote to be quite, but she had a feeling that it would not end well. Especially since she couldn't be certain if it really wasn't a Grimm.
"Hey I speak for myself here. Anyways, if I reveal to you who I am, will you keep everything I and Symbie here told you classified? I don't think it would be good if any of this comes out to the public. Especially since Glyndy here is just standing there probably thinking the symbiote here is a Grimm." Spider-Man says.
"You have my word."
"Alright, here goes nothing." Spider-man says.
Spider-Man then takes off his mask, much to the disapproval of the symbiote, revealing a young male teen with brown hair and eyes, with a beauty mark under his left eye.
"Wait a minute I recognize you! Your that young boy I meet a while ago, you were crossing the street without looking were you were going!" Glynda shouts in surprise.
"Yup, bet you didn't see that coming." Peter responds. He then turns towards Ozpin, "My name's Peter Benjamin Parker, I'm sixteen years old, almost seventeen, and for the last year and a half I've been the one and only Spectacular Spider-Man. During that time, I've learned that with great power comes great responsibility, I have the power to help others so it's my responsibility to do so. I have fought countless super villains and did my best to help anyone in need of help. come from a world called Earth, and know I'm stuck here on Remnant, with no way back and bonded to an alien symbiote, who for your information is definitely much more dangerous than any Grimm I've seen so far." Peter finished.
Ozpin stares into Peter's eyes, looking for any signs of lying, but all he sees is a young boy who has been through more than anyone his age should have gone through.
"Hm, Hazel eyes." Ozpin says, confusing the young teen.
"What/What?"
"When I looked into your eyes, I see the same thing I saw in Miss Rose earlier, someone with the innocence of a child who wants to do the right thing. However, I also see the eyes of a seasoned warrior who has been through many life threatening battles. The same type of look people twice you're age have." Ozpin summarizes.
"Hmph, would you look at that, the old man read you like a book." Venom chuckles.
"You on the other hand.." Ozpin began directing his attention to the symbiote, "While I can't get a read on you, it seems as though you aren't lying either. You may not be a Grimm and appear to be alive just like the rest of us. I don't exactly feel comfortable with you being here."
"Same here, but I already tried to destroy Symbie here twice and buried them under multiple layers of concrete, but as you can see, that failed. So unfortunately for all of us, I'm stuck being it's host again, we sort of came to a truce for now." Peter adds.
"You have reason to fear us, we are definitely more dangerous than these grimm. If you pose a threat to use and Parker here, we won't hesitate to neutralize you both." Venom threatened.
"Ahem."
"Okay fine, for Parker's sake, we'll just knock you out." Venom grumbles.
Ozpin and Glynda stare at the dis-functional duo, surprised on how Peter was able to get the alien to cooperate. Feeling as if he won't get any more info from either them, mostly the alien ooze, Ozpin then asks, "So, what do you plan on now Mister Parker?"
"I don't know, unless you guys discovered inter dimensional travel, I'm stuck here with this guy in my head." He points towards the symbiote. "Guess I'll just continue doing what I was doing before." Peter says, the symbiote just waiting for this conversation to end.
Ozpin then sits there thinking for a moment, deciding to make a risky move, he then asks, "How would you like to join my school?"
"Ozpin!/Huh?/What?!"
"Um I'm sorry, but did you ask me if I wanted to join you're school, don't you see how risky that is?" Peter asked in confusion.
"I agree with Parker, are you not aware of what we are and what we just told you? We may not care about doing anything to other people, mostly because it would be a waste of time for us, but that doesn't mean we aren't dangerous." Venom points out, extremely confused.
Glynda just stays silent, baffled at what Ozpin was suggesting and on how she actually agreed to what the alien symbiote was saying.
"I'm asking if you would like to join Beacon Academy. It would benefit you in the future and you could build a new life here on Remnant. And as for your alien friend.."
"We're not friends, we're allies at best." Venom interrupts.
"… as I was saying, your alien ally here seems to have a distaste of the Grimm here, which I'm guessing is because of how similar they are. Venom here could have a hand on destroying as much Grimm as it wants, as long as it stays out of sight." Ozpin finishes.
"As tempting as that is, what is the catch? We bet you want to keep us under watchful eye, don't you." Venom guessed correctly.
"Symbie, could you not? Hey could you both give use a second ? Thanks." Peter tells Ozpin.
Ozpin and Glynda watch as Peter and the symbiote have what appeared to be an inside conversation. Each of them showing facial expressions as if they were a discussion on what to do and weighing their options.
After a few minutes, Peter then says "Okay, me and Symbie here have come to an agreement. And I'll join your school under two conditions."
Ozpin nods in response, ready to hear what these conditions are.
"Okay for Symbie's condition, they wa-
"Chocolate."
This confused both Huntsmen, surprised on what the alien wanted.
"I'm sorry, but did you just ask fo-
"Chocolate."
"Okay then, I believe we can arrange that. And what about you Peter? What's your condition?" Ozpin asked.
"I was wondering if you have some sort of science lab at Beacon. If it wasn't obvious, I'm sort of out of web-fluid." Peter gestured to his web shooters, revealing to the two of them that he doesn't actually shoot webs out of his wrists.
"We do, no one really uses the lab anymore at Beacon, I can give you access to it so you can make more of your webs." Ozpin replies.
"Okay then, I would make a third condition, but I think it's obvious what that third one is." Ozpin nods, knowing exactly what Peter meant. "I guess we accept your offer oh grand wizard of Oz." Peter quips, getting a slight chuckle out of Ozpin.
"Alright then, Welcome to Beacon Academy Mister Parker. We'll see you Monday." Ozpin says.
"Ok then uh see both you later then." Peter says, putting his mask back on, the symbiote retracting back in at the same time. "Oh, and I apologize for the symbiote's behavior, it's just who they are, you'll get use to it." He says.
Spider-Man then leaves the room and then out the building, leaving Ozpin and Glynda by themselves.
After a few moments, Glynda then asks, "So do you really think this is all true? Do you really think that thing isn't really a Grimm."
"I believe they were telling the truth, I believe Peter really isn't of this world. And as for that alien he's bonded with, I think I can be certain that it isn't a Grimm. For one it's alive and sentient, and while it's hard to tell I could see that it does have a soul like the rest of us. But it does concern me on how similar that thing is to the Grimm. We should count ourselves lucky Peter has made some sort of truce with it." Ozpin replies.
"I see, but do you really think it was a good idea to invite Peter to join Beacon? That boy may not mean any harm, but that thing wasn't afraid to admitting to resorting to violence if it felt threatened." Glynda points out.
"I'm aware, but I believe that thing is also aware that if tries anything then it would be hunted down like a common Grimm. While I'm not sure how dangerous it truly is, it seems intelligent enough to know if it tries anything it won't end up well for the thing. And like it said, it will only attack it feels threatened, so as long as we don't try anything ourselves we should be safe. And besides, it apparently seems that we can bribe it with chocolate from how easily Parker got it to comply with the promise of the sugary treat. Which I'll admit, is extremely odd." Ozpin points out.
"I hope you know what you're doing Ozpin." Glynda says.
"So do I, so do I."
/
"So that was Spider-Man, he seemed like an annoying brat." The woman in red said, as they enter an undisclosed location.
"Yes, an annoying little insect. I know you ordered me to dispose of the damn bug. I've had my men and those animals from the White Fang attempt to get rid of him, but no one could manage to land a hit on him." Roman replies.
"Then they're just incompetent. I easily hit him and knocked him off the bullhead." The woman gloats.
"And yet he's still alive." Roman complained.
"Are you question my power Roman?" The woman glared at him, eyes glowing bright orange.
"Of course not! I'm just curious why you didn't use more of your power to kill him, you could easily dispose him quickly." Roman replied nervously.
"Hmph." She responded, her eyes going back to normal. "He didn't appear to have Aura, so I just used what should have been enough power to burn a small hole through him." She states, "However, it appears there's more to that insect than we realized. He only shrugged off that attack as if it just surprised him."
"So what do you suggest we do? I doubt I can just send more people to take him out. We already lost a large amount of men in the process." Roman asked.
"For now, keep stealing as much Dust as you can, but do it stealthy. I'll see if one of my associates can come up with something that can destroy that babbling insect soon enough." The woman said, leaving.
Roman just says behind, not happy to be in a position where someone has him on a leash. If there's one thing that could make him feel better, it's taking out the bug himself.
Meanwhile the woman sends a message through her scroll, requesting something to be brought to her. For the last two months, Spider-Man had been nothing but a nuisance, delaying her plans from coming to fruition. One thing is certain, she wants the arachnid dead. She gets an evil smirk at the idea of killing him, believing it would be the easiest thing to do. Oh how wrong she was.
