Chapter 4: Reminisce

(3rd person pov)

The ride in the bullhead was going to last awhile as (Y/n) tried to get some sleep after saying goodbye to the life he'd been accustomed to. goodbyes had become a painful thing to him seeing as he was abandoned by his parents for reasons that he couldn't comprehend but based on the note they left him it seemed that they didn't do it out of spite for him but for other reasons yet unknown to him he opened his eyes and looked out the window staring at the shattered remnant moon.

(Y/n):"Mom...Dad...why did you give me up?...why couldn't we stay a family?" He said to himself as he tried to comprehend his parents reasoning for abandoning him in the manner that they did.

He tried to think about his with them about any reasoning behind there actions that would've forced them to distance themselves from him but oddly enough the only memories he could remember where very vague memories he had of either of them he could remember one memory of them being cold to him dismissing him and being rather strict with him telling him he couldn't go outside without wearing his hood and a hygiene mask to cover his face or without them to watch him and another memory of them having meetings with people wearing strange white masks. He had to think about it but eventually made the connection.

(Y/n):"Mom...Dad...were both of you a part of the white fang?

Prof Goodwitch:"can't sleep (Y/n)?"

She said as she came up the aisle startling (Y/n) from his thoughts

(Y/n):"HUH?(jumps in his chair) oh uh yeah"he replied to her shaking a bit from her seemingly appearing in out of thin air.

Prof Goodwitch:(chuckles)"did I startle you I'm sorry" she said as she sat down across from him and saw the concerned look in his face "is everything alright (Y/n) you seem distracted"

(Y/n):"oh yeah I'm fine it's just...I'm still trying to get over today I got into serious trouble just because I'm faunas and I'm forced to give up the life i had with my family...and they all poured out their heart and souls to me knowing they wouldn't get another chance at telling me" he said looking out the window while putting a hand on his chest."This all just reminds me a lot like when my parents left me on the door step of the orphanage I guess"

Prof Goodwitch:"(Y/n) goodbyes are always difficult and I can guarantee to you it won't be the last one that you'll experience but they cared deeply for you, once Headmaster Elric became aware of the situation you were in he couldn't bear the thought of losing you so he went as far as contacting professor ozpin for his intervention"

This came as news to (Y/n) who was unaware of how ozpin exactly came to know about the problem and personally invite him to beacon

(Y/n):"Headmaster Elric did that?"

Prof Goodwitch:"indeed he did and we arrived he immediately told us about the impending problem at hand professor ozpin was already planning on taking you in but as an added measure..."

she paused for a brief second looking away slightly and fixing her glasses

(Y/n):"what, what did he do?"

Prof Goodwitch:"... he showed us the letter your parents left you when you were abandoned there"

(Y/n) was a bit shocked to the lengths that Headmaster Elric went to have professor ozpin take him in to keep him safe

Prof Goodwitch:"(Y/n) it seems from the letter that your parents didn't wish to give you up they did love you very much and in the letter they requested that you be allowed to keep your last name (L/n) seeing as you have kept it would make them happy"

He hadn't actually put much thought into why he'd kept his last name but at the time it seemed better than having no name until he was adopted and had it changed to his new family

(Y/n):"I guess I never really thought about it like that" he said as prof Goodwitch smiled and stood up

Prof Goodwitch:"try and get some rest (Y/n) well be there be arriving at beacon by morning"

(Y/n) nodded and laid back in his chair before looking back at the moon one last time and shutting his eyes to get some rest before the start of his new life meanwhile professor Goodwitch walked into a into the next section of seats in the bullhead where ozpin was sitting looking at his scroll

Prof Goodwitch:"Is he really ready to be admitted into beacon I can understand you wanting to help the boy but he seems to be under qualified in actual combat training and he's also accompanied by a mech that seems to be able to think for itself"

Ozpin:"I'm aware of your concerns Glynda but this request comes from an old friend and further more the boy has been through one ordeal after another but I believe he can be molded into a great huntsman all the same"

Glynda:"but what about the mech that is accompanying him once word gets out about there being a machine of such caliber being harbored at beacon other kingdoms may receive the notion that vale is prepping its military for action"

Ozpin:"then well just have to downplay these rumors all the same and reassure everyone that this is nothing more than a "unique" initiation were conducting"

He replied as Glynda sighed in response to his assurances that he made to her expecting it all to go so smoothly but he what he said next puzzled her

Ozpin:"Glynda are we sure that his semblance doesn't rely on dust?"

Glynda:"that's what he claims but he was working in a dust mine I'm sure he was exposed to dust in some shape or form therefore allowing him to use his semblance"she said shuddering a bit after remembering how he chose to display it by using it on her

Ozpin:"that's true but still his seems to be...different somehow"

Glynda:"what do you mean by different? Is there something more that he may be capable of doing without even realizing it?"

Ozpin:"its only speculation right now but...I believe (Y/n) may be capable of more than he realizes"
