We Are Stronger Together (RWBY x OC's)

Remembrance

Weiss and Alaska were walking through the hallways to Jacques Office, as they were walking they saw Weiss's younger brother Whitley standing at the end of the hallway near the door.

Whitley: Good afternoon sister, It's a pleasure to see you out of your room for a change, and William what a nice surprise, I can say you look rather dashing today, it's nice to see you after so long.

Alaska: I remember when you were just a little boy

Whitley: Oh please you sound like my mother.

Alaska: Speaking of which how is Aunt Willow?

Whitley: She has an alcohol problem I'm afraid.

Alaska: Well hard times fall on all of us, i guess we all pick out poison...

Weiss looks between Alaska and Whitley, she's known her boyfriend long enough to know when he clearly dislikes someone and pulls up a front, she didn't blame him, Whitley had been Jacques child raised by him and practically molded a corrupted CEO in a young teenager's body.

Weiss: Well Whitley, you seem in a talkative and cheery mood.

Whitley: Klein made crepes for breakfast

He says with a sly grin which was caught quickly by his older sister.

Weiss: What do you want?

Whitley: I heard father was shouting in his study earlier.

Weiss: it was general ironwood I would assume, William informed me.

Whitley: Oh really? William, what association do you have with general ironwood? I know that Uncle Nigel isn't really a fan of the general.

Alaska: I joined the military, I became one of his special operatives.

Whitley: Sounds like betrayal to your grandfather's name.

Alaska: It sounds like I'm going to-

Weiss covers her boyfriend's mouth and they both look over at Whitley who still had a grin on his face.

Whitley: Well if you're a special operative, then I'm sure you work closely with Winter, am I correct?

Alaska: I work with your sister on occasions, I mostly work with my teammate from beacon, we both became Operatives together.

Whitley: Sounds like a hard job, it's not the line of work that I would prefer, I fancy more traditional jobs that keep our kingdom's economies afloat. Well I shouldn't waste your time any longer, I heard the general is pretty strict on following orders.

Alaska: What you heard is correct, now if you excuse us, we'll be going to talk with your father.

Whitley nods before walking away down the hallway while Alaska and Weiss continue making their way to Jacques office.

*Forest in Anima*

Keith found himself writing in his notebook, a habit he'd picked up during his time in solitude, with neo being mute he had no one to truly talk to, so he found himself writing a lot more, they had followed ruby across a continent then entering into anima made the journey a bit harder but Keith had Qrow and Neo at his side to help him get through it but even then it didn't feel like enough.

Keith: "I haven't lost many things in my life but the very few that I have... they've messed me up pretty badly, first I lost my mom when I was very young, then my mentor, then my home...it seemed like everything was lost for me but there's still hope out there, i just need to find it...I know it's out there.

Keith set his notebook and looked back on his sleeping bag where Neo was curled up, he found it cute and it seemed to melt his heart in serious time but it always felt wrong but the world around him was wrong, so what was truly right? When Keith first met her, he saw a girl with a terrible start that had something that kept her human. He gave her a way out and it took a while but she accepted. He wanted to be the hero to everyone, and it all came crumbling down. But good karma pays off because Neo stood by his sides and that's what Keith liked about her. He heard rustling and turned around to see Qrow who seemed to have his stuff ready.
