Mutasim P.O.V
It was the next morning Saturday now. Mom explained what took us so long and everyone seemed to catch on immediately. Or rather, Yang did since her younger self was at the aftermath of the scene that night. And now with Blake suspicious of the presence of two Rubys, that kinda meant we had to discuss with both Blake and... ugh... Weiss, about who I really am. I didn't mind informing Blake, it was the ice queen I was more annoyed about.
???: Mutasim, you've not even touched your food.
I'm dragged out of my thoughts by a soft voice from my right. I turn and see Cinder giving me a worried glance.
Cinder: Are you okay?
I nod and turn back to my food.
Mutasim: Yeah. Sorry. Just... Thinking.
I begin to eat my food and to my surprise, Cinder pats my back.
Cinder: It'll be okay. Just... Try to keep calm. I know it's a lot to ask of you, but reckless anger isn't going to make anything better.
Mutasim: That reminds me. Raven told me a bit about what you said, about why you want to help me.
She sighs.
Cinder: It's not something I can talk about so easily. But... I will tell you the truth when I'm ready. I promise.
Mutasim: Okay.
We finish our breakfast and head back to our dorm to meet with my family. Upon entering, we see both Rubys and both Yangs already here.
Mutasim: Where's Blake and Weiss?
Ruby: They're on their way. Are you... Okay with this?
Mutasim: Gonna be honest, I have no idea how to answer that.
Yang: It's okay big bro. We're right here for you.
Yang (Future): Don't worry M. If this Weiss tries anything, you can count on your aunt to send her out with a Yang.
She says with a big smile as she punches her fists together. Yang, curious about the metal arm, decides to question it.
Yang: Quick question. I know we're all thinking about Mutasim and his situation, but what's with the arm?
Yang (Future): Oh. Right. Uhh... I... Kinda lost it. That was a dark point in my life. But, it worked out in the end. Good ol' General Ironwood hooked me up with a prosthetic.
Qrow: I think it's safe to say that was a dark point in all our lives.
Cinder looks down as she sits on the edge of my bed. I open my mouth to talk to her, but a knock on the door disrupts me. Everyone turns to it and I take a deep breath.
Tai: We should, uh... Let the kids discuss this. Ozpin wanted to see us anyway.
Raven: You'll be okay, right?
I nod.
Mutasim: Yeah.
Nodding, the older adults leave the dorm through the window, leaving Cinder, me and both Rubys and Yangs. I open the door, revealing Blake and Weiss.
Blake: Hi Mutasim.
Mutasim: Hi Blake. Ice queen.
Weiss: Delinquent.
I roll my eyes and move aside, allowing the duo to enter the dorm.
Weiss: So what's so important that we have to talk in priv-Who are you two?!
