Road To Redemption

Election Party

3rd POV

The others arrive to see Y/N laying on the ground. Ruby and her team rush to his side. Blake places her cat ear to his chest.

Blake: "It's not beating."

Weiss: "He needs CPR."

Yang cups her hands and begins chest compressions. After a certain number Ruby places her mouth on his trying to get him to breathe. When she rises Blake leans to his chest.

Blake: "Nothing."

Yang compresses his chest again.

Weiss: "Come on Y/N."

Ruby again gives him mouth to mouth. As she does JNR watch with dread starting to seep in.

Nora: "Why isn't he waking up?"

Jaune: "I don't know."

Ren: "It'll be okay. He'll live."

Ruby moves away as Blake listens to his chest. Her ears go down.

Weiss: "Blake?"

Blake: "Nothing. I think... he's gone."

They all stare at their master.

Nora: "No, he can't be gone."

Sadness begins to show as fear turns to reality. But before a single tear can fall I loud gasp is heard. They all become shocked seeing Y/N coming back to life.

Y/N POV

The world comes back into focus. Looking I see everyone staring at me.

Y/N: "What?"

They all tackle me in a hug.

Y/N: "What gives?"

Ruby: "We thought we lost you."

Yang: "Don't ever scare us like that."

Y/N: "I'll try not to."

Getting to my feet I catch a ride in a truck. After about an hour we arrive at a warehouse. I exit the truck to see a blonde haired woman.

Woman: "What're you doing here?"

Robot: "Greetings Robyn Hill. General Ironwood presents these supplies to you. May they serve as a sign of friendship."

I undo the tarp showing the crates stuffed with supplies.

Robyn: "This is most generous. Tell Ironwood I accept his friendship."

Robot: "Message sent."

I go to walk away when Robyn stops me.

Robyn: "Thanks for all this."

Y/N: "Thank Ironwood."

Robyn: "Are you employed to him?"

Y/N: "In a way."

Robyn: "Then I take it you were responsible for gathering these supplies?"

Y/N: "Along with a handful of others."

Robyn: "Then as payment allow me to invite you and your company to a little party I'm hosting tonight."

Y/N: "What kind of party?"

Robyn: "A celebration. For winning the election."

Y/N: "Then consider your invitation accepted."

Robyn: "Wonderful. The party'll be thrown at Manning Memorial Center. See you then."

*that night*

I dust myself off cleaning up. Now tidy I join the others in the limo.

Ruby: "I'm so glad Robyn accepted Ironwood's gift. All that's left is to bring her to our side."

Yang: "Let's not get our hopes up yet. This all hinges on her willingness to lend a hand."

Blake: "Relax Yang. Let Ruby have some optimism."

Weiss: "Cause Oum knows we'll need it."

We finally reach the location of the party. Heading inside we see lots of people just having a good time. 

Ruby: "Robyn must have a lot of fans."

Weiss: "I wonder if everyone here voted for her."

Yang: "I'd hazard a yes."

Blake: "This's good. This means we'll have all the more support in fighting Salem."

Nora: "Enough talking, let's party!!!"

They split up each doing their own thing. Meanwhile I hang by a trashcan just in case. As I chill I scan the crowd. Blake was right, this might prove to be some good support. I smile when a ringing hits my right ear. I rub it hoping that stops the ringing. But it just persists. I groan while rubbing faster and slightly harder. After a full minute the ringing doesn't stop. I bring my finger to my ear and snap. Except instead of the sound of a snap I hear only ringing.

Y/N: "Shit."

I sigh seeing I'm now half deaf. I then think out loud.

Y/N: "I know you're failing body. But bare it a little bit longer. At least until Salem is dead. Please."

Robyn: "And that's why I'll always fight for your voice to be heard."

The crowd cheers and applauds. But at the same moment my scroll rings. Looking at it I see a message from Ironwood.

Y/N: "Meet in my office. Hurry. That can't be good."

I signal the others and together we head to meet Ironwood.
