SCARLET NEXUS X RWBY

A Wake-Up Call

I was sat at a table in an interrogation chamber, right next to Ruby. The blonde woman from earlier looked at us both for a moment before speaking, walking around with what appeared to be a crop in her hand.

Blonde: "... What were you both thinking? I hope you both realize that what you did, no matter how heroic it seemed, won't be taken lightly. Forget the property destruction between Roman Torchwick and you two, you put the lives of yourselves and others in jeopardy!"

'Granted... it wouldn't be the first time I've done it.' I thought to myself.

Ruby: "But they started it! Me and her were just trying to defend-"

The woman held her hand up.

Blonde: "If it were up to me... I would have both of you sent home, with a slap on the wrist."

She slapped her crop against the table, making Ruby jump back in surprise.

Blonde: "However... someone would like to meet you both. He especially had an interest in you."

She pointed the thing at me, and I was confused.

Me: "... huh?"

She looked me over for a second before nodding and backing up, soon seeing a man come through the door behind her. Green cloak, silver hair not unlike my own, though it was mainly from age... and a platter of cookies and a mug in his hands.

Man: "Ruby Rose... you..."

She looked him over, a little... excited, for some reason.

Man: "... have silver eyes..."

'... interesting first words...'

Ruby seemed to share this sentiment with me as the white haired male finished inspecting her face, standing up tall again.

Man: "So, where did you learn to do this?"

He nodded towards a pad held by the blonde woman, showing the skills that Ruby had performed with her scythe.

Ruby: "Uh... Signal Academy?"

That seemed to interest him.

Man: "They taught you how to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed, huh?"

Ruby: "Yeah! Well... one teacher in particular."

He nodded for a second.

Man: "I see... and you, Kasane Randall."

He looked at me for a second.

Me: "What... you know me?"

Man: "Indeed I do. Psychokinetic, a time traveler of sorts... used the weave between worlds to come here, right?"

Me: "... the Red Strings, you mean??"

Man: "Yes... you did quite a bit with them, just to save your world."

He smiled a little.

Man: "We're grateful to have you here, Ms. Randall."

He placed the platter of cookies on the table, and I shrugged a little as I took a few.

Me: "Arigato, sir."

He nodded.

Man: "I believe one of you may know who I am, however."

Ruby stopped eating the cookies in front of her, which actually surprised me that she consumed so many in the course of 20 seconds.

Ruby: "You're... Professor Ozpin... headmaster of Beacon Academy."
