Ruby POV
I was waiting with Ozpin outside Pietro's lab when Jaune, Yang, Ren and Nora arrived and greeted us. "Where have you all been?" I demand."We were just walking with Wiess to her manor for her 'family meeting'" yang said with air quotes.
"Her house is so massive!" Nora exclaims excitedly.
I look off to the side not meeting my friends eyes. "Ruby we know you're angry at Wiess but you will have to talk to her at some point." Ren says.
"According to who!" I say back. I admit I was acting like a child but it was Wiess yelling at Penny that made her run off and if she hadn't have run off she might not have gotten hurt. I have a right to be angry.
"Well considering you're on the same team is kinda a give away." Jaune says sitting down next to me. He gives me a reassuring smile and my angry expression softens.
"It is not uncalled for teams to fight." Ozpin says calmly. "They are always disagreements in a team but you can learn to move past them, that's why we have teams of four not just two, so that way you have a way of defusing the conflict."
I sigh. I know he's right but I just don't really even want to forgive Wiess right now. All I'm focused on is Penny.
Just as I was thinking about the robotic girl, her father came out of the room with a smile on his face. "Penny is fully repaired."
I jumped out of my seat excitedly "can I see her!"
Pietro gave me a sympathetic smile "actually she's asked for Yang and Nora." The two girls look at each other, clearly surprised at this. But they nodded and went in the room. I slumped down in my seat. "Why didn't she want to see me? Does she blame me for what happened? Did something go wrong?" Jaune placed his hand on mine.
"I'm sure everything is fine." He says reassuringly. "You'll get to see her soon."
I let out a sigh. "I hope so."
Wiess POV
I sat with my brother outside the Manor. We didn't have anywhere to go so we just sat outside in the cold atlas generated air."Why'd you do that?" He asked me.
I turned to him. "Dad was yelling at you and something inside me made me want to protect you." I admit.
"Well it didn't do any good" he said cruelly. "When you leave again who do you think he's going to yell at about your outburst?"
I felt sympathy for my brother. I had been so focussed on getting myself out of that house that I never considered how it affected my brother. "Well why don't you come with me?" I ask.
Whitley just scoffs "and do what, where would I stay Wiess, I have no training so it's not like I can just join your Hunter school can I?"
"Well no..." I begin but Whitley just stands up.
"Exactly." He sounds so defeated "so I'll just have to stay here and apologise to father."
"Whitley no you can't stay here." I say grabbing his hand.
"But I have nowhere to go." He says, now sounding more desperate. "Just go Wiess, before father gets angrier." He goes to turn away but I pull him into a tight hug.
"I'll get you out of here at some point, somehow. I promise." Whitley hugs me back before saying something quietly In my ear.
"Don't make promises you can't keep."
Penny POV
Flashback
"So when do we start the repair?" I ask my dad lifting my my destroyed arm."Well, I actually have a surprise for you." He responds happily.
