V in Rwby part 2

chapter 5: Destiny Is Never Good

V was walking to Rwby's dorm, but also to team Jnpr's dorm.

"Johnny, Pyrrha is hiding something, and I intend to find out what it is," V said with determination.

Johnny appeared, walking along with him. "You think it's something serious?" he asked, concern evident in his voice.

V nodded, a flicker of worry crossing their face. "I've noticed her acting differently lately; before, she was a kind and open person, but now she seems frightened and guarded. It's like she's constantly on edge, as if she's hiding something that could potentially harm her or those around her." Johnny furrowed his brows, deep in thought.

"Do you think it has anything to do with the suspected attack on Beacon?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine concern.

"Not possible; we know it and they don't, but it's hard to ignore the sudden change in her behavior. It's like she's carrying a heavy burden that she can't share with anyone." V added.

Johnny nodded, his concern growing. "I wonder if we should talk to her and see if there's anything we can do to help," he suggested, his voice tinged with determination. V glanced at him, a flicker of hope in their eyes. "Maybe she just needs someone to lean on; she did that with Barry in the night city."

Johnny nodded, recalling how leaning on someone had helped Barry in Night City. "Yeah, Bastard was crying over his dead partner, and you showed up to help him through it. Maybe we can offer the same support to her."

As V made it, he saw Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Jaune, Nora, Ren, and Pyrrha.

"Hey," V said with a warm smile, "saw the shitshow in the match."

"We know; we saw it," Weiss said.

"We know Yang didn't mean to injure Mercury, but it's still hard to see her like this." Ruby added, concern evident in her voice.

"Fuck," V muttered under their breath. "I can't imagine what she's going through right now." They knew that Yang was strong, but this incident had clearly taken a toll on her.

He then looked at Pyrrha, who sat down on a bed in her dorm.

"Pyrrha?" Ruby said.

"Hm?" she hummed.

"You be sure to win one for Beacon, okay?" Ruby said as she held her clenched hands up and tried to put on a grin.

"It's what Yang would want," Weiss said.

"I'll... do my best," Pyrrha said as she attempted to give a confident look, but V knew she was indeed struggling with the weight of the situation.

"Pyrrha," V said as he walked by the rest of team JNPR to enter the dorm to speak to Pyrrha.

"Is there something you wanted to talk about?" Pyrrha asked, her voice filled with curiosity.

As V sat down on the bed facing her, he hesitated for a moment and said, "You're hiding something, aren't you?"

Pyrrha's eyes widened slightly, her attempt at a confident facade faltering. "I... I don't know what you mean," she stammered, her voice tinged with unease.

V sighed and looked at Pyrrha with concern. "Me and Johnny noticed that you've been acting differently lately. Before the solos, you were always so focused and determined, but now you seem distracted and distant. What's wrong?"

Johnny appeared behind Pyrrha, standing on the bed. "Keep doing it, V; keep saying stuff that will make her open up," he said, a mischievous grin on his face.

Pyrrha bit her lip, her gaze shifting nervously at V, knowing the secret was being chiseled away at. "V, I'm not hiding anything," Pyrrha stammered, her voice trembling, trying to convince V that everything was fine.
