-Emma Pov-

I smile when the last person is brought into the room, and then I smile when I see him. I notice that he's breathing somewhat heavily, like he's been exerting himself. I then stand up and then walk over to him, offering a hand to him. " Hey, I'm Emma Waters," I tell him, and then he nods and walks to sit down. " I can tell you put in some effort recently. Your breath and heart rate are a little elevated. If you're hurt, I can heal you," I offer, and then he turns to look at me with an eye raised. I can tell he's agitated a little bit, but I just keep smiling at him.

" I'm not hurt," he says curtly. " As if the Ice Queen could even put a scratch in me." I look at him confused, not knowing what any of that means, and then I sigh a little, wishing I could help him. Using my Semblance for a little bit, I can tell his heart rate is elevated a little. I would try to heal him, but my Semblance requires the other person to be open to me. He opens the refrigerator, and then pulls out a beer and smiles a little.

" Ice Queen? Do you mean Winter or Weiss," asks Zion, and then he looks over at her, and then he goes over to her, tossing a beer, and then she grabs it. The new boy stays silent for a little bit, and then turns to her. They look at each other like they've seen each other before, and are trying to place it. I look back and forth between them trying to figure out what the history between them is as Hercules looks just as confused as me, which makes me smile to realize I'm not the only one lost.

" Unfortunately for me, Weiss. I've met them both, and can't stand either of them, but Weiss just so happens to be the weaker of the two, and the more annoying one out of them," he says, chugging from a thing of beer as Zion smirks, and then agrees with him by nodding. Hercules looks back and forth between them, and then at me, mouthing to ask if I have any idea what they're talking about, and then I shake my head and he and I both shrug and look at the two.

" Want a cigarette," offers Zion to Jason, and then he nods and she tosses him one, and I sigh. I always hated the smell of it, and I'm hoping he doesn't actually light it. For now, he just holds it and then puts it in his mouth and lets it dangle, and then Zion puts one in her mouth, and the two of them think about it. " Well, isn't there that whole family rivalry between the Branwens and Schnees anyways," asks Zion, and then Jason nods a little. With those names, it finally clicks for me who they're talking about: Every faunas knows about Weiss Schnee and that family.

" Well, I see the two of you have met," Hercules says, and then we look over at him, and then he hands us each one of his autographs, which makes me chuckle a little bit and I take it to see it. Jason and Zion take theirs, and then Zion tosses hers in the trash, and then Jason sets his on fire with his lighter. Hercules sighs at this, and then looks down. " Well, let's face facts. We're going to be in this tower together for a bit, so let's at least get to know each other."

" I'll go first," I said with a smile and then I wave at them, and they look over. " My name is Emma Waters. I like reading and singing, and then I'm also a dove faunas," I say, waiting to see how they react, and then all of them simply nod. Hercules has a big smile on his face, and then Jason and Zion both go to light their cigarettes. I sigh when they do, but I don't want to make them irritated by asking them to put them out. " Alright, who's next then."

" My name is Hercules Spring. I fight in a lot of tournaments, and I win a lot. I like winning, flirting, making my fans smile and women," he says. Again, Jason and Zion roll their eyes at him, but then I give a small smile for him, I remember watching him fight a few times on the television, and I liked him for using his celebrity status to advocate for faunas equality. He looks at Jason and Zion, the both of them being silent, and then he goes to whisper to me. " Who do you think will speak up first?"

I look at the two of them trying to decide, and then Zion eventually raises her hand, and I smile at her, happy she's going to be opening up a little bit. " My name is Zion Helsing. I like to read, and smoke and then drink," she says. I sigh when she says this, it's a step forward and one back. She may have said something about herself, but we don't really know anything more about her than what I could have already figured out from looking at her.

" Jason Branwen," says the boy, and then I look over to him. I try to figure out where I've heard the name Branwen before because I know I have heard it. " I like to fight, and train." I nod when he says this, and then sigh. Again, he doesn't give us anything about himself that we probably couldn't tell from before.

" Well, those two girls I saw on the ship with you, the blonde and the girl with black and red hair," I say, trying to start a conversation, and then he looks over at me. " Are those your sisters?" He nods at this, and then Hercules puts a playful hand on his shoulder.

" The blonde one is super hot," says Hercules, and then Jason looks up at him. " Think you could set me up with her some time?" Jason scoffs, and then grabs his hand, and flips Hercules. He lands on the floor, and then Hercules gets up and turns his skin to steel. " What the hell is your problem?" Jason then stands up and looks at Hercules.

" Talk about my sister like that again and I will break you into pieces and then sell the parts for scrap metal," says Jason standing up, and then Hercules smirks and starts to crack his knuckles, and then his neck.

" let's do this then little man," says Hercules, which makes Zion scoff, and then we all look over to her.

" Little man," she asks. " Do you even hear yourself speak? Do you have any idea how dumb you sound to the rest of us," Zion asks, and then Hercules looks over at her, and then reaches for his war hammer. Zion smirks, and then gets his sword. " I can assure you a fight would not go your way," she promises standing up.

The three of them all grab their weapons, and then walk to each other, and I sigh and grab my staff. I slam it into the ground, and a blue light surrounds me, and I use my Semblance to see each of their emotions. Hercules radiates an ego, and the need to prove he's the best, but there's a tinge of sadness in him. Zion radiates a calm, but when I read her aura, it sends so many danger signals flaring in me. When I read Jason's aura, I can see just how much anger is inside of him.

I try to keep the two of them apart, and I look over to see Zion just looking at the two of them, not seeming to care too much. " Do you plan on helping me split them up," I ask, a little bit annoyed with how nonchalant she is about this situation, and then she just gives a small chuckle.

" I wanna see who wins, and then I wanna fight the stronger one of the two of them," she says, and then I roll my eyes and use my Semblance to try and stop them from fighting. I notice how easy it is for me to take away the anger from Hercules, but I hit a wall and can only take away so much anger from Jason. He seems to be just a well of anger. Eventually, I manage to calm the both of them down, and we go back to standing in silence.

The door opens a few moments later, and then we look over to see Ozpin chuckling as he drinks from his coffee. He sees all of us staring, and then he looks around the room and sighs when he realized that there was a fight, and then he looks back over to us. " I see you're getting along well," he says in a neutral voice, and then he chuckles a little. " Well, if you don't get along then in the future try to keep your tempers under control. Why don't all of you head to the ballroom to get some sleep for tonight?"

None of us can seem to get out of the room fast enough, as we push and shove our way into the elevator and hit the button. It seems like an eternity we're in there, and none of us try to talk. Hercules and Jason keep glaring at each other, and it's easy for me to see that both of them want to continue fighting, Hercules to prove he could have won, and Jason because he had really wanted to just break Hercules into pieces. I want to know what the cause of that anger is.

When the elevator opens, I read the auras of my team to see where all of them are going. Hercules seems like he wants to find someone, probably someone he loves based on the light his aura gives out, and then Zion seems like she just wants to be alone right now, which makes sense, she's probably going to be out to smoke or drink, and then I look over to see Jason, again seeing just how angry he is. I notice his aura is already primed for a fight, and then I can tell he's going to see and fight Weiss again, although I notice they're relationship is more than just fighting, no matter how much the two of them deny it.

Sighing at this, I'm the last one to walk into the ballroom, since I feel the need to make sure everything is okay with them. I smile when I see Hercules with a girl with orange hair in an arm-wrestling contest, and then I look over and smile when I see Zion reading peacefully in the corner, and then even Jason talking with his sisters. I smile at this, and then go into my own corner in the room, and try to go to sleep, as always needing a lot of time to adjust my wings to get comfortable for the night. As I try to sleep, I hear footsteps, and then I look over to see Alesha, and then I smile.

" I didn't get to see you after Ozpin came and you had to go," she says a little sadly. " I looked for you for a long time. Well, why don't you tell me about your day," she asks, and then I smile at her. I pat the spot next to me, and then she sits down with me. The two of us stay up most of the night talking, and getting caught up after everything that happened to me when the two of us were split up, and I think to myself how interesting going to Beacon will be.
