Do We Have A Deal?

Meet Up

Y/N POV

The morning after the dance I/m woken up by my scroll ringing. 

Y/N: "What?"

Ozpin: "Is this a bad time?"

Y/N: "Considering I was having the best dream, yeah."

Ozpin: "Apologies. But I got word from my back up."

I sit up.

Y/N: "And?"

Ozpin: "There's rumors of a rather strange individual on the very edge of Vale. Some say he's like he crawled straight outta hell."

Y/N: "Send the address. I'll go pay him a visit."

Ozpin: "Will do. Happy hunting."

Throwing on my clothes I head to the garage. Fetching my bike I ride out when I come across Yang.

Yang: "Hey Y/N."

I pull to a stop.

Y/N: "Hey."

Yang: "Where you off to?"

Y/N: "Going to take care of some business. What about you?"

Yang: "I'm doing what you said. Gonna seek the truth."

I smile.

Y/N: "Hope everything works out for you."

Yang: "Thanks. And good luck with whatever it is your business is."

Nodding I ride out to the location.

Yang POV

Hopping into a cab I'm driven to the other end of Beacon. Getting out I take a seat at a little cafe. Within a few minutes my guest arrives.

Raven: "Sorry for making you wait. Had some errands to run."

Yang: "It's alright."

She takes a seat across from me.

Raven: "So how've you been?"

Yang: "Good. You?"

Raven: "Little lonely. Luckily the others come by often."

Yang: "That's good."

Raven: "How's beacon treating you?"

Yang: "Fine. I'm on an all girl's team. Ruby's our leader."

Mom smiles.

Raven: "Her mom's gonna have a field day."

Yang: "She sure is."

There's several seconds of silence.

Raven: "What's wrong sweetie?"

I sigh.

Yang: "I wanna know something."

Raven: "What do you wanna know?"

Yang: "Is Tai really my father?"

Raven: "Of course he is. Why would you not think he is?"

I pause trying to think on how to word this.

Yang: "It just never made any sense. We're complete polar opposites. He's peaceful while I'm always ready to rumble. He's nice while I'm not so much."

Raven: "Then you just didn't inherit his calm demeanor."

Yang: "Then where'd it come from?"

Raven: "Probably your aunt Summer. It might not look like it, but she's got a mean streak."

Yang: "Maybe."

I think of another angle to take.

Yang: "Did you ever marry Tai?"

Raven: "No."

Yang: "Why?"

Raven: "Because we didn't need some piece of metal to show our love."

Yang: "Then why do you keep a wedding ring in the top drawer of your nightstand?"

Raven: "How do you know about that?"

Yang: "One day when Ruby and I were playing find the gold I found it."

I look her right in her eyes.

Yang: "Who were you married to before Tai? What aren't you telling me?"

Raven: "I... I..."

I place my hand on hers.

Yang: "Please just tell me the truth mom. I wanna know."

Mom shows deep contemplation. After nearly a minute she sighs, giving in.

Raven: "Okay. The truth is-"

Out of nowhere the ground rumbles. People then run by us screaming in fear. 

Raven: "What's up with them?"

Yang: "I don't know. But odds are it isn't anything good."

We bolt towards the action. When we arrive we see a huge cloud of dust. When it clears we see a massive crater.

Raven: "What the heck made that?"

Rustling is heard. Mom and I both get into a fighting stance. A hand springs out grabbing the edge of the crater. Another one soon joins it pulling a body out. That's when my eyes widen.
