Y/N POV

"As you probably inferred, I was once a member of the White Fang." Blake said.

"I suspected as such." Sun replies.

" I was a member for most of my life, actually. You could almost say I was born into it. Back then, things were different. In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between Humans and the Faunus. Of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate. Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings. And so, the White Fang rose up as a voice of our people. And I was there. I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott. I actually thought we were making a difference. But I was just a youthful optimist. Then, 3 years ago, our leader stepped down, and a new one took his place. A new leader, with a new way of thinking. Suddenly, our peaceful protests were being replaced with organized attacks. We were setting fire to shops that refused to serve us, hijacking cargo from companies that used Faunus labor. And the worst part was, it was working. We were being treated like equals. But not out of respect... out of fear. So, I left. I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence, and instead, I would dedicate my life to becoming a Huntress. So here I am: a criminal hiding in plain view, all with the help of a little black bow." She explained.

"I remember 3 years ago, I was kicked out, they didn't sponsor me anymore, some tiger faunas came up to me and said the deal was up." I add.

"So... have you told your friends any of this?" Sun asks.

Blake just looks down in shame.

Looking down at my scroll I see my team mates calling me. 

"Hey I've got to go," I say before walking out of the café.

*Timeskip brought to you by Y/N walking to Beacon*

Eventually I was able to make my way back to Beacon, it wasn't a long trip per say, however the armor never has gotten any lighter. I look to see Pyrrha in the dorm talking to the others, and Angelo on his scroll watching something.

"Oh thank Oum, you're finally back!" She says while pulling me into a hug.

"Yes sis, I'm back." I say smiling.

"Do you know where Blake is?" I hear Ruby ask from behind me.

"No, Last I saw her she was at a café on 145th street in Vale." I reply.

"Good, let's start our search there." Ruby says before dragging the rest of her team behind her.

We all look ahead and see them exit the place. Poor Ruby seems to be falling apart from the stress. 

Pyrrha leaves back to her team, and I look over Angelo's shoulder to see him watching R/N highlights. 

"Did you tell him?" I ask the others.

"Yeah, he's been watching those all weekend." Ravio replies.

Looking over I see this one was my rookie year, it was the Inso 400. I drifted on the inside and pulled far ahead in front of everyone else.

"This was you?" Angelo asked looking up to me.

"Yep, that was me." I reply smiling.

"I can't believe it, seriously, you're driving's incredible!" He says his face lighting up.

"It still is." I reply somewhat offended.

"Why'd you quit?" He asked.

"I-I never quit, I'm just taking a break." I reply half trying to convince myself.

Yeah, just a break

Deep down I knew, I knew that by doing this, I quit racing. I'm going to dedicate myself to huntsman work, and I'm not just okay with that, I'm quite happy, but I still find myself asking myself that damn question every waking second.

Was I really ready to give it all up

"Well, that seems reasonable." He replies before going back to the video.

I find myself looking over his shoulder for a long time, seeing R/N win race after race, trying to pull my mind off things I try look back to my designs for a bit and go over them. Improved armor, a whipcord launcher, multi purpose gauntlets, a small anti personnel rocket launcher, and a jetpack. The upgrade would be expensive, but I have more than enough lien stowed away on R/N's bank account. 

*Timeskip brought to you by Chibi Y/N crashing his jetpack*

It was late at night and I was looking out my window to see a fucking lightshow going on at the docks.

"Guys, get up, let's go investigate." I say to my team.

"Hey, I'm team leader, I get to choose whether we investigate." Carroll says as he looks out the window.

Seeing the utter chaos happening he quickly makes his decision.

"Okay team, let's go." 

We all hastily get our gear on and get in the car, I drive as fast as possible as we get ready for a fight. Taking each turn as tight as possible I push this station wagon to it's limits, the R/N that had been locked deep inside me had finally come out in this one moment as I raced towards the docks. Getting there however, it's revealed we weren't fast enough, the police had already arrived, and it seemed that the fight was over. Slowing down and slightly bummed I drive over to where Sun, Ruby, Blake, and Penny were sitting.

"Hey there guys." I say to them rolling down the window.

"Y/N?" Ruby asks.

"How did you find us?" Blake asks.

"I don't know, the lightshow kind of gave it away." I reply as me and the rest of CNFR get out of the car.

"Yeah, I'm surprised this place is in one place." Carroll adds looking around.

 We stayed in silence until Weiss and Yang appear on the scene.

"Look Weiss, it's not what you think, she explained the whole thing. See, she doesn't actually have a bow, she has kitty ears and they're actually kind of cute." Ruby explains.

Weiss is having none of it, as she looks Blake square in the eye.

"Weiss, I want you to know that I'm no longer associated with the White Fang. Back when I was with the-" Blake started before she was cut off.

"Stop! Do you have any idea of how long we've been searching for you?" she pauses "Twelve hours. That means I've had twelve hours to think about this. And in that twelve hours, I've decided..."

There was a silence, the tension was palpable. We didn't know what she'd say, what she was about to do, we could only hope she does the right thing. Ruby, Yang, Sun, and the rest of us share the same worried look.

"I don't care." Weiss says.

"You don't care?" Blake replies surprised.

"You said you're not one of them anymore, right?" Weiss replies.

"No, I-I haven't been since I was younger-" Blake says before being cut off yet again.

"Ah-bah-bah-bah-bah! I don't want to hear it. All I want to know is that the next time something this big comes up... you'll come to your teammates. And not some" She pauses as she looks to sun. "Someone else."

"Of course." Blake replies.

"Yeah! Team RWBY is back together!" Ruby shouts wildly flailing her arms.

"I'm still not quite sure about how I feel about you!" Weiss says looking at Sun as he laughs nervously.

"Well, anyway, you guys need a ride back?" I ask as I gesture to the car.

"That sounds good." Ruby says as we all get in the car

Driving back home, I realized something.

"Say, who was the guy you were fighting." I ask.

"Roman Torchwick, a gangster who's now working with the White Fang." Blake replies.

"I'll keep that in mind." I reply as I go back to focusing on the road.

What in the hell have we gotten ourselves into?
