RWBY: Penny and the Tin Man

The Pleasure is Mine

Notes: Hello and Welcome too the world of Penny and the Tin Man. Just wanted to say a few things before we get started. Firstly thank you for giving my work a chance I am still rather new to writing Fanfiction as a matter of fact this is my first one but. It has come a long way since it started and I am rather proud of it. With that said there is always room for improvement so I am always happy to hear your thoughts and feedback. Even if its just pointing out minor spelling errors its nice to know. Can't fix a problem I don't know exists after all lol. Anyway good bye for now and hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1

Penny is not your average teenage girl. Rather I guess she would only be about three years old now, so teenage is not the right word for her but. With that said you wouldn't be able to tell difference just from looking at her. She is a very special young girl though for you see she is the first synthetic person able to produce an aura. She has also recently started classes at Vale's most prestigious school for training huntsman and huntresses Beacon Academy.

It was not easy to convince General Ironwood to let her attend but. She was determined and her father managed to convince him somehow. Under the conditions that she couldn't reveal her true identity and that she would return for routine maintenance. Which she found acceptable.

Some time has passed since then and we now find Penny walking down a clean white hallway, moving passed people in white coats and military uniforms along the way. She is on her way to meet with her father and General Ironwood. She is unsure why they have called her back so soon, after all her last maintenance check was just this recently. Worry begins to set in. "Did they find a problem?" She thought to herself as she runs a diagnosis check just to make sure she is in working order.

To her relief and confusion all systems seemed to be operating within normal perimeters. "What could it be?" she continued to wonder. Several feet and self issued questions later, she found herself at the entrance to her father's private laboratory. "With how much time he spends here it's become like a second home to him." Penny thought jokingly. As that thought faded a new one came to the forefront of her mind. "What is it that makes a place a home?" She wondered. She never really gave it much thought before now. "Is it the place that you are born? Maybe it's where your family is? "I have heard it called "A place to go back to". Do I have a home? Well I was not born but this is where I was created. I also have a father and a place to go back to (when in need of repairs that is). I guess that makes this place my home." She takes a moment to update her personal information, than continues through the doors leading to her father's office.

There she was met by her father, General Ironwood, and a third young man that she had not seen before. He was tall, well built, and very quiet. He had bright blue eyes and short dark hair that is slightly spiked upward, with two long strands hanging from the front. His body was covered in heavy armor and a large shield was mounted to his back. She also noticed a crest on the armors left shoulder. It depicted a silver almost metallic tree on a blue shield. For some reason she found herself locked onto him. She shook her head and turned back to face her father.

"Greetings father I'm home." She said trying to show a good smile.

"Hello Penny." Her father returns the greeting with a slight grin. "How have you been doing in school so far, having fun?"

Penny became excited at the mention of school. "Oh it was sensational! I learned so many new things and managed to make a lot of new friends. I think I may have even made an enemy." Thoughts of Cardin Winchester went through her mind before she quickly deleted them.

Her father began to chuckle loudly. "Wonderful my dear! It sure does sound eventful to say the least."

"Enough formalities, we are here on business professor." General Ironwood interrupts.
