Back at beacon

*We see team JWBY+ PR, in ozpin's office, they explained everything that happened in the trip, well at least the JWBY side, Pyrrha glanced at ruby, and elbowed her. Ruby winced a little and glared, at her, Pyrrha looked at her back, expectantly. They had a whole silent conversation, until ultimately Pyrrha won. So ruby raised her hand*

Ozpin:yes, miss rose?

Ruby: there's....something I would like do add, Pyrrha, Xiao long, and myself...went on a mission, while the other members of team JWBY and oobleck, were gone

*That got the attention of everyone in the room, oobleck and Glynda especially, since ruby was supposed to be resting. Ruby could feel her anxiety rising up, but when Pyrrha grabbed her pinky with hers, she calmed down, stopping her from talking in a stutter*

Ruby:one of my....associates, came In desperate need of assistance, and I agreed, and Glynda, I can feel your eyes burning a hole at the back of the head, the reward they gave me, for helping, was healing me completely, physically

Ozpin:so, your saying that your well enough to come back to school?

*Ozpin said, keeping the conversation going, and stopping Glynda, from speaking. Ruby nodded*

Ruby:yes, the mission can continue as planned

Ozpin:I see, seeing as you've yet to tell me, who this associate was, I imagine you have no intentions on doing so, am I correct?

*Ozpin said with that calculative smile, that told ruby, he already, knew or had an idea on who it was, and it just made ruby distrust him more. Ruby pursed her lips, and held Ruby's pinky finger tighter*

Ruby:no, no I will not. My associates has nothing to do, with the mission your paying me for. So drop it, before I drop you

Ozpin:fine, fine, you may all leave now. Except for Glynda, miss rose, and Xiao long. I need to speak with the two of you young ladies

*Ozpin said with a smile, ruby squinted her eyes, her tail rattling a little, her gut was telling her something was going on, something bad. She let go of Pyrrha's pinky, letting her get up, and leave with the rest, once the door closed, Ruby's free hand rested on the handle of her gun, just in case. Yang was glancing at ruby, with concern, the hand on the gun, didn't really help matters*

Ruby:well? I ain't got all day, I have to tell neo I'm back and get the plan back in action

Ozpin:this won't take long, to say at least. So I'll just come out and say it, Tai Xiao long came in, asking about you

*Yang felt as if her heart fell down to her stomach, she quickly stood up looking at ruby, her eyes showing so much desperation, for her to believe what she's gonna say*

Yang:i didn't tell him anything! I swear!!

Ruby:lower your voice, I know you didn't. Even you wouldn't be that stupid

*Ruby said more annoyed, that yang screamed into her ear, then the revelation, that tai was sniffing around. Ruby sighed and leaned back on her chair*

Ruby:where is he now, and how bad is the damage?

Ozpin:he's currently giving a class, while you were gone, I gave him oobleck class, to be there substitute. As for the damage, he doesn't know anything, I made it clear. That he'll have to talk, with you when you return. Which giving that oobleck is back, it should be any minute now

*Ozpin said taking a sip of his coffee, ruby sighed taking her flask out, and taking a sip of her grape soda. All the while yang was freaking out, thinking on what to do*

Ruby:Xiao long, if you can't control yourself, wait outside, this will be hard, enough without your, pathetic excuse of a poker face

Yang:I'm trying! How are you so calm?!

*Yang yelled, the fear in her tone, noticed by the other 3, and ruby had the gall to yawn.*

Ruby:because I've been here for months? I've known that it was a matter of when, not if, but when somebody would leak it to him. I've already know what I'm gonna say, the question is, if he's gonna believe it, when you look so guilty

Yang:ok, ok, I'm cool. I'm cool. I can be cool, it's what I do best.

*Yang said trying to act cool, ruby rolled her eyes and just looked out the window, the 4 of them waited, for a few minutes, till the bell of the elevator rang, ruby took a breath, and got up, turning around, seeing the man who placed yang in charge, the day that changed everything for ruby*

Tai:ruby....

*Tai whispered, seeing his daughter, he was completely shocked, he was seconds away from crying, over all he was very emotional. And ruby? She felt nothing, why would she feel, anything for this male?*

Ruby:actually, the name is rose. Please Mr. Xiao long, sit down, he have a lot to discuss. But before all that, I'm just gonna put it out there, I'm not who you think I am

*Ruby said, hearing a small ring in her ears, she knew, one of them was behind her, if she had to guess, it was rose, giving that she used her name. Tai nodded, with a shaking breath, he sat down on the couch, looking at ruby... Looking at rose, nervously*

Ruby:your daughter, told me that you think, I am this ruby rose, the daughter that died so long ago

Tai:I don't know, I know your here. I don't know what happened to you, but if you have amnesia, I can help you, recover it

*Tai said, with a nervous, but hopeful smile, he was playing with his hands, not being able to keep them steady*

Ruby:Mr. Xiao long, I understand wanting, someone to come back from the dead, believe me, I know that better then anybody. But that's not how the world works, and I'm sorry to tell you this, since from what your daughter tells, me your a fantastic father. But I'm not ruby rose, that's just the name I use when I'm an outlaw. my real name is rose Polendina.

Ozpin:she's speaking the truth, trust me tai, I would love nothing more then have, summer's child as my student, but she isn't it

*Ozpin said, but tai glared at him, not wanting to believe it, not wanting to be sucked in into some illusion, but sadly, he's only one man*

Ruby:tell me, what to you know, about summer rose? I mean by that, did she ever talked about her family?

Tai:....no, all she said, was that her parents died at a young age

*Tai said, regretting, not asking more question, not talking to summer more, he would give however many years, are remaining of his life, just for one day, with summer again. And ruby could see that, she was using his wants, to be closer to summer, against him*

Ruby:then let me tell you about them, you had Maria Polendina, a tall tall snake faunus woman, that had the semblance of growth, and then you had her husband Daniel Rose who had the semblance of the speed petals. Those two gave birth to summer rose, but also her twin sister, my mother Iris rose. Since I don't want to be associated with the rose family, I changed my last name to my grandmother's Polendina

Ozpin"so that's the angle your taking, interesting lie miss rose"

*Ozpin thought, as ruby kept making up a fake story on how her mother Iris died, while in the background Yang was glancing between ruby and Tai, nervously. The look tai had on his face, it made yang feel as if someone, gut punched her, tai looked so broken, his hope that ruby was alive, all but gone from his face*

Ruby:so you see, I'm not your daughter, but your niece by marriage. I hope this clears it up for you. And I'm sorry, I had to be the one to break it, to you, but it's better to face the truth, then to live in a illusion

*Ruby said, giving a fake smile, Tai didn't respond. He just got up, kissed yang on the forehead, and just walked away. Once the door was close, did ruby stop smiling and got back her neutral expression*

Ruby:well, that's done. I'm going back to my room, it'll be fun seeing Nora again, I supposed

Ozpin:yes, yes, both of you run along, I'm sure you have better things to do

*Ozpin said with a smile, yang and Ruby got up and started to walk out, ruby thought she got away with it, till Glynda spoke*

Glynda:ruby, I'll see you in a bit, we have to organize our schedules, so you can get therapy

Ruby;.....ah fuck me...yes, I deal is a deal. I'll go to the fucking therapy sessions

*Ruby said grumbling, as she walked inside the elevator with yang, the elevator door closed, and they started to go down. They didn't speak, ruby cause she had no reason to, and yang, cause she was struggling to come up with the words, to say. The elevator door opened, and ruby got out*

Yang:r...ruby, wait for a moment

Ruby:what do you want Xiao long ?

*Ruby asked annoyed, she already had to deal with one blond, she didn't want to deal with a second one*

Yang:I...just wanted to say, thank you. I was kinda scared, that you would....call him out, for leaving me in charge that day

Ruby: it wasn't worth the headache, I would've had to deal with, if he knew the truth. I only have so much I can take, before I start shooting. And you use up most of my bullshit tolerance, as it is. I don't need a second blonde for that. But let's get one thing straight right now, I didn't do this to help you, Or because I felt bad for him, because I don't. Honestly, I despise him more then I do you. I did this, so that I can be left alone, I want nothing to do with my past. Consider yourself lucky, that I tolerate you, enough to talk to you

*Ruby said turning around ,and walking away. Yang had a lot of conflicting emotions, but for the most part she felt, happy? I mean ruby said she tolerates her, so she counts that as a win*
