Family is family

I don't like wearing this damn suit. But it's the only one I got. All black with a green tie. Same outfit I was in when we kidnapped Gabriel Lazanno. It was also that night Felix brought out his darker side.

I went up to the door, knocked and someone with long blonde hair, lilac eyes, and surprisingly a robotic arm.

"Uhh hi, I'm here to meet Nightmare Satero."

She looked at me for a couple seconds and then realizing that she knew who I was.

"Ohh, you're that Locus guy Ruby told me about!"

"Yes, I'm Locus. What's your name?"

"I'm Yang, Ruby's older sister."

"Nice to meet you." I said as we shook hands. "I'm curious, you look nothing like your sister."

"I know I get that a lot. Me and Ruby have different mothers. And they named their daughter after her mother."

"What was her name?"

"Summer Rose."

"Hmm.... like the poem?"

"I'm... sorry?"

"The Last Rose Of Summer by Thomas Moore."

"Looks like you know your poetry."

"I try my best."

I looked over in the kitchen to see Ruby cutting some onions, while Nightmare was outside grilling.

"Hello Ruby."

"Locus! I didn't hear you come in. Oh and this little cutie that's hiding behind me is Summer. It's okay, don't be shy."

A little girl came out slowly from behind her. White hair on one side and black on the other. Both sides had red highlights too. And I also noticed the silver eyes as well.

"I see she has your silver eyes. That's a rare trait."

"Yeah, ever heard of the tale of the silver eyed warriors?"

"No I never looked into Remnant's folklore."

"Well, story goes is that before huntsman and before kingdoms, these warriors were born to fight the Grimm. It was said that even a single look from one of these fighters can strike a Grimm down."

"And you two are these warriors?"

"Yep. Just like her mom, and my mom before me."

Just as she said that, Nightmare came in with a plate of steaks. I don't know when I had steak last, but damn it smelled good.

"Locus, it's good to see you."

"Likewise. Shall we talk terms?"

"Yes we shall." We got our plates and sat down. I put Italian on my salad because, 1. I hate Ranch. 2. I'm lactose intolerant.

"I'm hoping that I can get some help tracking down my ex partner, Felix. I've been here for 3 months and I've been on several wild goose changes that led me no where."

"Okay, but I need to know, what's so special about this person you're wanting to track?"

"I need to make sure that no one suffers from him. He's dangerous."

"Well if he's as dangerous as you say he needs to brought into the police. I'm sure they can-"

"What I'm about to suggest is a little extreme. I don't want to say it in front of your daughter."

Nightmare and Ruby looked at eachother for a couple seconds before turning to Yang who had this concerned look on her face.

"Yang, can you please take Summer upstairs?"

"Yeah of course. Come on Summer, let's go play some doll house!"

"Okie Aunty Yang!"

As soon as they were out of sight I spoke up about my proposal again.

"What I'm trying to say is that Felix is too dangerous to leave alive. Rehabilitation has never worked on him and I can only imagine he'll want revenge on me because of why I had to betray him during the final battle of Chorus. For years I've been called the monster, but when he wanted to kill the simulation troopers of Project Freelancer, he lost his way and he let his anger consume him."

"I'll help."

"You will? But I-"

"Locus, if what you're saying is true, than we need to do something about it. For right now, enjoy your dinner, we can worry about this later."

"Of course."

I got done, rinsed my plate and I had to find a bathroom. "Uhh where's your restroom at?"

"Down the hall and three doors to the right."

I went up the hall, when I came back down, I saw a room with a desk light on and noticed a picture that what appeared to look like three spartans. I went into the room and turned on the light and saw several photos spread across the wall. Nightmare was in the photo of the three spartans, and then a team of huntsman and huntresses. Same with Ruby with her being with her own team. I looked further down and saw Nightmare and Ruby's wedding photos. I didn't notice at first but he must've seen me come in here.

"I see you found our photos."

"I'm sorry for snooping, the desk light was on over that picture frame and it caught my attention."

"Don't be sorry." Said Ruby coming in the door with Summer and Yang following after.

"You were a spartan were you?"

"Yeah.... I was."

"You were in service before I ever enlisted. How?"

"Well it wasn't entirely my choice though. I was drafted when I was only 6 years old."

"And you've accomplished so much over the years. From fighting in the war to becoming a huntsman."

"Yep. Ruby was leader of team RWBY and I led team NLSR. Those were the good days."

"When did you two fall in love with eachother?"

"12 years ago. That was back when we were only first year students during our time at Beacon."

"Well if we're going to track Felix down I need to get prepared for tomorrow so I have to get going. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Likewise Locus, take care."

I walked out to my car and went back to my apartment. The whole time I was in there I couldn't help but think of what it would be like to have a normal life. A life that I could've had instead of killing for a living.
