(At the balcony café in the middle of Vale where Sun swindle vortex and Blake are drinking tea and other drinks)

Sun: Finally, she speaks! Nearly two days and you've given us nothing but small talk and weird looks! (Blake glare at him) Yeah, like that.

(Blake just rolls her eyes before closing them and looking at him sadly)

Blake: Sun. Are you all familiar with the White Fang?

Vortex: of course

Sun: Of course! I don't think there's a Faunus on the planet who hasn't heard of them. Stupid, holier-than-thou creeps that use force to get whatever they want. Bunch of freaks, if you ask me!

Blake: (sips her drink while listening until she speaks up for the big reveal) I was once a member of the White Fang.

Sun: (promptly goes cross-eyed and chokes on his drink, making him put it down and wipe his mouth as he holds up a hand to process this information) Wait a minute, you were a member of the White Fang?!

Blake: That's right. I was a member for most of my life, actually. You could almost say I was born into it. Back then, things were different. In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between Humans and the Faunus. Of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate. Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings. And so, the White Fang rose up as a voice of our people. And I was there. I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott. I actually thought we were making a difference. But I was just a youthful optimist. Then, five years ago, our leader stepped down, and a new one took his place. A new leader, with a new way of thinking. Suddenly, our peaceful protests were being replaced with organized attacks. We were setting fire to shops that refused to serve us, hijacking cargo from companies that used Faunus labor. And the worst part was, it was working. We were being treated like equals. But not out of respect... out of fear. So, I left. I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence, and instead, I would dedicate my life to becoming a Huntress. So here I am: a criminal hiding in plain view, all with the help of a little black bow. (she wiggles her cat ears beneath the fashionable disguise to demonstrate)

Sun: (coming to terms with this) So... have you told your friends any of this?

(Blake merely looks down in shame)

Vortex: hey we all go are things but sooner or later we have to tell them the truth.

Blake: how does you team do it?

Swindle: what do you mean?

Blake: All of you are different strong, faster, smart, even a bird and a fox but none of you treat each other differently you work well fight strong why is that?

Swindle: well you see we all bin through so much together we're more like brothers then a team.

Vortex: Yeah each one of use come from some places else. blastoff from atlas and lost his legs in a accident so he left. Brawl originally form Vacuo and was the toughest guy their but he bet everyone so he's soon also left to find a good fight. I'm originally from Mistral but I got bored with see the beauty of the kingdom and left to go exploring. And well we're in swindle home town vale. We all come from someplace but it what we do now that counts.

Blake: Yeah thanks. Wait what about onslaught?

Swindle: Well we don't know where he came from but.

Vortex: but he's the one who found us and brought us all together.

(With the memories of RWBY and COMBAT looking for their teammates)

Yang: (shouting) Blaaaake!
