All Of Me

Chapter 5, Part One

This is the Chapter 5 of All of Me. It happens 5 days after the events of Chapter 4. I hope you enjoy it and that it entertains you.

She was sitting on a chair in that dirty bar in the country side of Mistral. A big variety of men – human and Faunus – had tried their luck with her. But as many of them figured,they simply aren't that lucky. What truly mattered to Raven Branwen in that moment is that she had a meeting with her brother in that hazardous ambient. And that he was late.

Raven groaned in frustration as she observed the entrance and found no sign of Qrow. Seriously, I don't know how he manages to get the attention of the amount of women he hooks up with, Raven thought. He's an unpolite, drunk, old and dusty crow. As she finished thoughts, her twin entered the bar.

"Speaking of the devil…" She muttered quietly to herself. She stared at Qrow as he went to the balcony and ordered a drink to himself – She wasn't surprised at all as a glass with whiskey in it showed up. Qrow got the glass and walked to table. He looked at the mask laid there in disgust. Raven rolled her eyes and brought the mask closer. "Do we seriously have to go through this every single time we meet?"

"You know how I feel about the tribe, Raven." Qrow said drunkly. He took a sip of his whiskey. "Do you seriously have to put that thing on the table every single time we meet?"

Raven huffed at her brother. "Better on the table than covering my face"

Qrow made a thoughtful face, putting his thumb and index on his chin and supporting his elbow with his other hand. "Hhmmm…" He hummed. Raven narrowed her eyes and frowned. Qrow smiled and put his hands on the table. "I guess you're right."

Raven sighed. Qrow would never, never, grow up. She cherished and hated that about her brother. "You know why I called you here, don't you?"

"You went to Patch, didn't you?"

"I did. She really lost her arm, huh?"

"Were you surprised?"

"Not at all." Raven sighed. "I observed her from a certain distance for some time. She's reckless, hot headed and relies too much on her semblance. A serious injury was predictable."

"You are not wrong."

"I see a lot of Taiyang in her."

"Everybody sees a lot of Tai in her, Raven. But only some people can see you in her. I do. Tai does. And Summer did."

Raven cringed at the mention of Summer. That name brought memories to her. Far too many memories. "And what exactly does she have of me?"

"You're so blind by your defects that you can't even see them in others…" Qrow said and took another sip. "The anger, the hatred… When Yang hates something or somebody, she's capable of anything. Just like you are. But there are also the qualities that Taiyang fails to have. Or to show. Like the courage and the determination."

Raven laughed. "Courage? Determination?! I didn't see any of that when I went to Patch. All I saw was weakness and a girl who has been mopping around for months now."

Qrow scoffed and glared at his sister. "Well, of course that's all you saw. You showed up in the worst of her moments. If you had been around for enough time, you would have seen how much of a incredible girl the firecracker is." Qrow smiled at the thought of his niece's old, happy self.

Raven laughed loudly at that. "You sound like a mom, Qrow!" She continued to laugh as the man starred at her disapprovingly.

"Yeah, the mother you failed to be."
