POV F/N

I was standing there in the library with everyone as they played a strategy game that I haven't played. I looked at Midori who was still with Pyrrha and I walked to her.

"Hey Midori may I speak with you for a bit." She looks at me.

Midori: "Well I was learning about history from mama but okay." She gets down from Pyrrha's lap. "Alone right papa?"

"Yes your so smart." I placed my hand on her head and patted her gently. She smiled at me and gave a light giggle. I begin to walk off as she follows closely behind me, we got to the hall outside the library and I turned and crouched down to her. "I need your help Midori. This is completely up to you and if you agree it will put you in danger."

Midori: "Why papa?"

"Someone who wants to hurt you is in Vale your grandpa would deal with him but being around the city with this many people makes it hard to not involve innocent people."

Midori: "So you want me to get the mean person out of the city so grandpa can fight him?"

"Yes you don....."

Midori: "I'll do it." No hesitation.

"You sure you're okay with this?"

Midori: "If it will help grandpa not hurt people then I'll do it. Also this will make papa proud of me won't it?" She smiles at me making me feel slight regret in putting her in this situation.

"Yeah I'll be beside you as well you won't be alone."

Midori: "I know because papa is nice and he loves Midori." You're very brave Midori.

"Let's get you ready then."

Midori: "Kay!"

Timeskip

I was in the room wearing my combat attire as Midori had her big bag with her. Been a while since she wore that. I see that after all this time she still has an easy time carrying it. I hear a knock on the door, I was hoping that it was father ready to guide me to where we can draw Edward out though to my dismay it was Blake.

Blake: "I heard your conversation at the library."

"Yeah I figured you are a faunus after all."

Blake: "Can we talk for a bit? In my dorm."

"Who else is there?"

Blake: "......"

"Everyone figured this would happen."

Blake: "If you figured that why didn't you better hide this stupid plan of yours?"

"Because keeping something like this a secret would get someone killed." I turn to Midori who had her bunny in her hand clearly not hearing the conversation. "Midori I'll be back okay got to talk with your sister for a bit. Tell Grandpa to wait for me out in the courtyard."

Midori: "Kay!" She waves using her bunny as it flails in the air. "Oops sorry Volt." I exit the room and follow a very upset Blake to her dorm. As we get closer to the room I can hear a bit of bickering coming from it.

Yang: "What if she gets hurt?! How can he put her through that?!"

Amber: "Did you forget you did the exact same thing before?"
