Team SAFF: A RWBY Story

Making A Plan

The sound of someone shifting a set of keys through a keyhole fills an empty room as the door opens with a woman wearing a business suit and holding her Scroll in her hand.

Business Woman: Now this place here just had an opening and may have some troubling news about how it became vacant.

???: How troubling could it be?

Business Woman: The last person that lived here was murdered two days ago.

???: Oooh, vacant and creepy. I think we'll take it.

Business Woman: Ah, wonderful. I'll need-

The woman is cut off when one of the buyers drops a large bag of Lien in front of her. The woman looks at the buyers as they come into the light to reveal Mor'du in a large trenchcoat and Ebony wearing a black overcoat while wearing a grey colored shirt. 

Mor'du: Best to keep our names off the record if that's fine with you?

The woman looks at the bag of Lien, back at her buyers, and smiles.

Business Woman: Welcome to Argus, Mr. Locke.

The woman grabs the bag and walks past Ebony Hex, Marigold Fiona, Robin Topaz, and Fey Bianc. Mor'du removes his coat and hangs it on a coat rack.

Fey: So what's the plan now?

Ebony: We find out where the target is and wait for the most opportune moment. (looks at Mor'du) Right, Mor'du?

Mor'du: We must be careful in Argus.

Topaz: Why do you say that?

Mor'du: Because as much as I hate to admit it, I don't think that Argus is the safest place anymore.

The Next Morning

Ivan opens his eyes to see Bleu resting her head at the edge of his bed and smiles. He then looks at his chest to see the burns are healed but his scar is less visible now. "How did..." The questions upon questions cascaded Ivan's thoughts but are interrupted when he hears Bleu groaning as she stretches her arms out.

Ivan: Good morning, kiddo.

Bleu's go wide as she smiles.

Bleu: Morning. How are you feeling?

Ivan: I... I feel fine. Better even. What kind of meds did they give me that healed my scar like it barely existed? 

Cordovin: The same meds that we gave you the first time we met, Mr. Saxe.

Ivan looks at the door to see Caroline Cordovin with the rest of the team behind her.

Ivan: Wait, is that really you Caroline?

Cordovin: How many Caroline Cordovins do you know, Ivan?

Ivan: Last I checked, I know only one. And it looks to me that you don't look so bad for your age if I might say.

Bleu: Wait, do you two know each other?

Ivan: Not just that. She saved my life after Mor'du dropped me off a mountain and caused an avalanche. She found me buried in the snow and since Mor'du didn't kill the scientists at the facility, they told her that I was there helping them.

Cordovin: From the looks of things, it seems that you can't stop getting into these types of situations.

Ivan: It's a habit. By the way, did you guys make the meds better than before? Because I've never seen it heal me like this.

Cordovin: I'm just as surprised as you and no, the meds haven't changed.

Ivan: Well thank you again for your help.
