The stars falling (RWBY Male Reader X Winter Schnee)

Friends returned

(Meme found on Pinterest (AYO JAUNE??? REN???))

You jolt awake, feeling someone touching you. To your relief, it's Winter.

Cole- What... where are we?

Winter- Outside of the city now. Got past the checkpoint quickly and easily. Word hadn't gotten to the soldiers posted there about our escape.

Cole- That's good. Have you tried the scroll yet?

Winter- Not yet. I wanted to wait till we were a little ways out, in case they were scanning for scroll usage.

Cole- We should be good to use it. Hook up the signal booster and scan for any Atlesian frequencies in the area.

Rubbing your eyes, you flinch as you accidentally touch a recently healed cut.

Winter- I've got one. It's faint, but it's there.

You bang on the wall separating the hold and the cabin. The truck pulls to a stop and the back is opened.

Man- You clear from here?

Winter- Give us a moment to make a call before you leave, please.

Man- Yes Ma'am.

She connects to the frequency, and the scroll comes to life.

Winter- Atlesian frequency in my area, this is Lieutenant Winter Schnee, code niner-oscar-indigo. Do you read me, over?

Static for a moment, before a voice responds.

Radio Op- Code confirmed, Lieutenant. We were under the impression you were still held hostage. What is your location, over?

The union worker hands you a map and points out your position on it.

Cole- Grid reference gamma-eight. Forty two klicks East of Vale proper. Just have them trace the scroll.

Radio Op- Wait one...

You release a sigh of relief.

Radio Op- Position confirmed, Lieutenant. We have your signal locked and have a squadron oscar-mike, over.

Winter- Very good.

Cole- You okay to wait with us, sir? Or do you need to go?

Man- Sorry, but if I don't get these supplies to Vacuo in time, I'm stuffed.

Cole- All good. Thanks for the save.

Man- Just give 'em hell for us, eh?

You both disembark the truck and it drives off.

Winter- Let's get clear of the road. Get to the trees.

You put one of her arms around your neck and helps her limp over, before you both sit down against a tree.

Radio Op- The team is approximately five mikes out, over.

Winter- Roger that. Keep on this frequency till they arrive, over.

Radio Op- Copy that, Ma'am. Atlas out.

She places the scroll down and sighs.

Winter- I feel like shit.

Cole- You sure look it.

Winter- Well I didn't get the royal treatment from Ozpin.

Cole- Well he sure didn't patch me up out of kindness. Taiyang didn't exactly keep a steady hand with the stitches and stuff.

She takes your hand.

Winter- I'm just glad we're both safe now. I miss home so much.

Cole- So do I... but uh, I don't really feel like sleeping alone in my place for a while.
