(Alexander's Forge - Training Dojo, Neo POV)

I look around the dojo, my eyes sparkling as I haven't seen this part of the shop before.  It looks so cool and advanced!  I see Mister Alex and the tall lady, who he says is named Glynda, talking to each other about (Y/N) and his training and I see (Y/N) and Team RWBY by a bed near the entrance of the dojo.  Not wanting to bother Alex and Glynda, I head over to where the others are and give them a small wave as they all wave back.

Neo: "So, you guys are Team RWBY, right?" I type on and show them my Scroll quickly as they nod at me.

Neo: "Which one is which?" I type as they introduce themselves to me.  Ruby tells me that she is the girl dressed in red and the team leader, Weiss is the girl dressed in white and heiress to the SDC, Blake is the girl dressed in black and is a bookworm and faunus and Yang is the girl dressed in yellow and her half-sister.

Ruby: "Hey, um, Neo, how come you can't speak?" she asks as I tense up, tears welling in my eyes almost immediately as I look away from the group as my head lowers.

Ruby: "I-I'm sorry, I-I-I didn't know that w-was..." she says as (Y/N) pats my shoulder, as if comforting me.

(Y/N): "Neo, if you don't feel like sharing right now, it's okay." he says as I look up at him, seeing a small, but infectious smile on his face as I smile back at him gently.

(Y/N): "Trust me, it's not easy telling a sensitive secret to someone, I know..." he says before pausing and I look at him, confused as the expressions of Team RWBY become a bit depressed.

(Y/N): "...I have one myself." he finishes as he lifts up his sweater, revealing his body, full of scars, wounds and stitches and I gasp in shock.

(Y/N): "I died one year ago and I was brought back to life by two doctors, but they tore my body apart and replaced every part of my body, except my head and neck, with the body parts of people who "donated" them..." he says and tears up before lowering his shirt as Glynda approaches us.

Glynda: "You told Neo, didn't you, (Y/N)?" she says we both nod and she sighs before looking at me.

Glynda: "Well, since we're all here to help you, (Y/N), it was wise to tell Neo before she found out on accident." she says before looking at me and I get nervous.

Glynda: "I'm sorry for the way I treated you before, Neo, but with Cinder and her group after (Y/N), I didn't want to take any chances with a known criminal who wants to be on our side." she says as I nod slowly, understanding her reasoning for not trusting me so quickly.

Neo: "It's okay, Miss Glynda, I understand and I want to make it up to Mister Alex for helping me get back on my feet and making me feel like a person and not a tool to be used for some scumbag's use." I type on and show my Scroll to her as she giggles lightly, which confuses me slightly.  Even (Y/N) seemed confused about what just happened.

Glynda: "You don't need to be so formal, Neo, just call me Glynda and call him Alex..." she says before pausing and looking at Alex.

Glynda: "...because everyone does, isn't that right, Alex?" she says as Alex chuckles and nods as (Y/N), Team RWBY and I look at him too.

Glynda: "While Alex is setting up the Simulation Room, I'd like to ask the same question Miss Rose asked." she says as I tense up and look up at Glynda.

Glynda: "Why ARE you mute, Neo?" she asks as I look scared, feeling myself tear up and she hugs me gently, which shocks everyone else in the room.
