Mutasim P.O.V

I feel myself begin to awaken to the smell of something that smells almost heavenly. Opening my eyes, I see my aunt holding a tray of eggs and sausages with a side of butter toast. She smiles at me. 

Yang (Future): Good morning Mutasim. Sleep well? 

I nod and try to sit up, but I feel something holding me down. I look down to see mom holding me tightly, her face almost buried into my hip. 

Mutasim: Uhhh... 

Yang (Future): Can't blame her for being a little clingy. Ruby was terrified of sleeping last night. She thought if she woke up, that this would all be a dream and you'd still be missing. 

Mutasim: In her shoes, I'd probably feel the same. Hell, I did feel the same in a sense. 

Yang (Future): Yeah... But, at least we're back together. All we gotta do now is just wait for the others to show up and then we can figure out a way back to our own timeline. If that's what you want. 

Mutasim: Well... What about Salem in this world? Shouldn't we save some of your friends that perished? Like that redhead girl, Pyrrha. 

Yang (Future): You know, I hadn't actually thought of that. We can discuss it with everyone else when they're awake. 

I look at the other beds and see everyone else still sleeping. Cinder sleeps on the bed next to me, Tai is sleeping on the bed at the far end, Raven is sleeping in the middle bed and Qrow is sleeping on the chair. 

Mutasim: So where did you sleep Yang? 

Yang (Future): I slept on the floor. Don't worry, carpets here are pretty comfortable. Now. Eat up. You've got a long day today. 

Mutasim: Uhh, Yang? I know we've not gone over my time table but today, I've got nothing. So I don't really have a "long day". 

Yang (Future): Oh. In that case, we'll just need to make it one. 

Hearing her say that kinda put me on edge a little. Knowing her, I was in for a rough time. I manage to push myself to sit up and Yang lays down the tray of food on my lap. I nod thanks before eating. Yang sits down at the foot of my bed and smiles. 

Yang (Future): I know I'm not the best cook, but I figured I should do it, as an apology. 

Mutasim: An apology? For what? 

She looks down, letting out a low and almost upset sigh. 

Yang (Future): If I had just ignored Weiss and went straight for you... You might not have fallen into a completely different timeline. I was just... So angry at her. Angry doesn't even cover it. 

Mutasim: Aunt. It's fine. What matters is we're all back together and we can be a family again. Without Weiss intervening. 

She smiles softly and nods.

Yang (Future): Yeah. Sounds good. We all just wish we could've watched you grow up with our own eyes rather than just... You know. 

Mutasim: Yeah. I get it. Does anyone else know you guys are here except for your past selves? 

Yang (Future): Actually... About an hour after you fell asleep, Ozpin paid a visit. We explained the whole situation to him and he's allowing us to stick around Beacon. But in return, we've gotta act as some... extra instructors. 

Mutasim: So you mean you guys are gonna be teaching? 

Yang (Future): Yeah. Which... Might be an issue for the other people who know us.
