Welcome back! I'm releasing this chapter a little early, but that doesn't mean that the vote at the end of Chapter 3 isn't still going on! I just have a few ideas for an Interlude chapter. Hope you all enjoy!

--------------------------------------------------------------

Team RBY sat on their newly acquired beds, in their new dorm room. All of them wore Atlas outfits. Snug fitting white shirts, with the Atlesian Logo plastered on the front and Black pants that switch to white at the knees. All three sat on one bed, and were talking about one thing: How weird General Ironwood was acting.

Blake: Don't you think it's weird that he was able to tell that Oscar is Ozpin?

R+Y: Yeah?

Blake: Also, how did he get an informant in Salem's ranks? Did he catch them or something?

Yang: There are a few holes in what he's told us so far...

Ruby: Maybe something happened between him and Salem. I mean, Lionheart DID basically get held hostage by Watts.

Blake: Ironwood only listens to himself. He would cut off his arm before submitting to someone else.

Yang: Uh-huh

Blake quickly tries to take back what she said, but ends up just stuttering out a bunch of random noises. Ruby giggles at their antics, before beginning to truly think about what Ironwood said.

Ruby: He was acting different... Maybe all this stress has really changed him that much? I never talked to him enough to really understand how he acted...

While Ruby was conversing with herself, Yang had leaped ontop of Blake, and turned her into a blushing mess. Yang leaned down and spoke softly into her cat ear. Blake's eyes widened and her nose began bleeding. Yang started laughing uncontrollably and got off of her and looked back to Ruby. Who was still deep in thought.

Yang: You okay Ruby?

Ruby: Hm? Yeah. I'm thinking about all the stuff that's been happening. Ironwood, Mantle... All of it's just so weird.

Yang: Aw, don't worry little sis! Everything will work out, ain't that right Blake?

Both sisters turn and look at Blake, she had somehow managed to curl up into a ball, blood still gushing from her nose, and was mumbling something about being to young.

Ruby: Uhm, Yang? What'd you do to her?

Yang: You'll learn when you're older.

Ruby: I--But i am older! You always say that!

Yang began laughing again as Ruby playfully punched her side. They eventually got into a full on pillow fight, and in the middle of it all, was a throughly incapacitated Blake.

                  

                             Meanwhile

In the new dorm of JNR sat Jaune, who was wiping down Crocea Mors, Ren was mediating on top of Nora as she did pushups

Nora: 996... 997... 998... 999... 1000!

She flopped down onto the ground and almost immediately fell asleep. While Ren just sighed and readjusted himself and continued meditating. Jaune chuckled to himself and sheathed Crocea Mors. He laid down on his bed and quietly spoke to himself

Jaune: Pyrrha would have loved this... Hopefully she's still looking down at us..

Jaune smiled at the ceiling, before hearing a faint sniffle from the ground. He bent his head up and saw Ren, now sitting criss-cross on Nora's stomach, ehile she stared up at Jaune with teary eyes.
