Chapter 7: A Story Through the Ages

(Opening Theme: When It Falls Ft. Casey Lee Williams)

-A Few Days Earlier-

    "UNCLE QROW!!" Ruby shouted, hugging his arm as if she were a monkey, "Hi there!"

Qrow lifted his arm along with Ruby; Ruby couldn't help but kick her legs up with excitement.

"It is so good to see you!" Ruby said, "Hey didja ya miss me!? Didja miss me!?"

"Nope." Qrow said with a smirk.

He went ahead to pat Ruby on the head before he heard his name called by Ozpin.

"Qrow!" Ozpin said, "A word please."

Ruby slipped from Qrow's arm and fell to the floor. After a few seconds she recovered and stood up. Qrow leaned over, "I think I'm in trouble."

"You did kind of tear up the courtyard." Ruby said with a smile.

Qrow smirked as well, "Yeah I did." Both him and Ruby brofisted each other, "Catch you later kiddo."

Thus Qrow went to join up with Ozpin and Glynda who had just finished fixing up the courtyard.

    Up in the headmaster's office, Winter had paced around angrily while Ironwood waited for Ozpin, and Glynda to return with Qrow, who had just arrived earlier that day. As luck would have it they had just arrived via elevator, with Qrow giving a simple in greeting.

    "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?" Winter exclaimed.

    "If you were one of my men I'd have you shot!" Ironwood said.

    "If I was one of your men I'd shot myself." Qrow simply said before getting out his flask.

    "Well I wouldn't condone for his behavior." Glynda said to Winter, "Retaliating like you did, certainly didn't help at all with the situation."

    "He was drunk!"

    "He's always drunk!"

    They looked to Qrow who was now drinking from his flask, but stopped when they all looked at him. But all he did was shrug.

    Ozpin sighed, "Qrow, why are you here?"

    "You've been out of contacts for weeks!" Ironwood said angrily, "You can't just go dark like that!"

    "I'm not one your special operatives Jimmy." Qrow said.

    Winter corrected for him with a bit of anger tone in her voice, "General."

    "Whatever." He said, "You sent me to get intel on our enemy and I'm telling you. Our enemy is here."

    "We know." Ironwood said folding his arm.

    "Oh, you know?" Qrow said, "Well thank goodness I'm risking my neck out there keeping you all informed!"

    "Qrow!" Ironwood said before getting cut off by him.

    "Communications a two way street pal!" Qrow said before pulling out his scroll, pointing to a button, "You see this? That's the send button!"

    "They had reason to believe you'd been compromised." Winter said. Qrow glared over in her direction. "And I have reason to believe that you don't need to be here!" Qrow said, "Seriously, who invited her?"
