Our Destiny (Male reader x RWBY V2 )

V2 Chapter 10: Mountain Glenn

The full moon is shining over the ruined buildings of Mountain Glenn, and a lone Beowolf is searching through the rubble. It looks up briefly at the young girl who has it in her red crosshair scope, but Ruby Rose just lowers Crescent Rose and sighs in tiredness at she keeps lookout over the destruction.

The rest of her team is lying down on their sleeping mats around the fire with weapons nearby, and Doctor Bartholomew Oobleck is higher up, slumped down against the wall next to the hole in the ceiling/floor. The three members of RWBY and Y/N have their eyes closed, but Yang Xiao Long is the first to stop pretending.

Yang: Y/N, are you awake?

Y/N: No, go back to sleep.

Yang: Don't make me Supplex you Y/N.

Y/N: Ugh, what do you want Yang, I'm sleepy.

Yang: Why do you think he asked us about being a Huntress? Like, what was he trying to say?

Y/N: Maybe he just wanted to know our personal reasons for applying I guess?

Yang: Hmm..

The blond headed brute looked over to the fake sleeping cat

Yang: Blake, are you awake?

Blake: Yeah.

Yang: Since you heard what I asked Y/N, do you have any ideas?

Blake: Maybe he was just curious.

Yang nods her head before going to the final person.

Yang: Weiss, are you awake?

Weiss: Of course I'm awake! You three are talking. And I think he... When I said I wanted to honor my family's name, I meant it. But, it's not what you think. I'm not stupid. I'm fully aware of what my father has done with the Schnee Dust Company. Since he took control, our business has operated in a... moral gray area.

Blake: That's putting it lightly.

Y/N: True that, you should go visit the campsites they have the Faunus working in Weiss. A real sight to see.

Weiss: Which is why I feel the need to make things right. If I had taken a job in Atlas, it wouldn't have changed anything. My father was not the start of our name, and I refuse to let him be the end of it.

Blake: All my life, I fought for what I thought was right. I had a partner named Adam. More of a mentor, actually. He always assured me that what we were doing would make the world a better place. But of course, his idea of a perfect future turned out to be not perfect for everyone. I joined the Academy because I knew that Huntsmen and Huntresses were regarded as the most noble warriors in the world. Always fighting for good. But I never really thought past that. When I leave the Academy, what will I - how can I undo so many years of hate?

Yang: I'm sure you'd figure it out. You're not one to back down from a challenge, Blake.

Blake: But I am! I do it all the time! When you learned I was a Faunus, I didn't know what to do, so I ran! When I realized my oldest partner had become a monster, I ran! Even my Semblance! I was born with the ability to leave behind a shadow of myself; an empty copy that takes the hit while I run away!

Y/N: You don't need to always meet your problems face-forward by yourself. Trust me, I know from experience. It's not always running into the issue head-strong and expecting good results. Unless you're blond brute over here

Blake looks at Y/N to argue back but she shuts her lips not wanting to start an argument but chuckling at the minor joke thrown at Yang.

Yang: At least you two have something that drives you. I've just kinda of always, gone with the flow, y'know as Y/N said. And that's fine, I mean, that's who I am. But how long can I really do that for? I wanna be a Huntress, not really because I want to be a hero, but because I want the adventure. I want a life where I won't know what tomorrow will bring. And that'll be a good thing. Being a Huntress just happens to line up with that. I'm not like Ruby, she's always wanted to be a Huntress. It's like she said, ever since she was a kid, she'd dreamt about being the heroes in the books. Helping people and saving the day, and never asking for anything else in return. Even when she couldn't fight, she knew that's what she wanted to do. That's why she trained so hard to get where she is today.
