A Vex Problem

Chapter 16 -Ready For The Trip-

Third Person POV

"They were here, Ozpin they were here!" Ironwood said, slamming his fist on Ozpin's table.

"We are very much aware of that, thank you, James," Glynda said.

"Fantastic, you're aware. Now are we going to do something about it or should we just stay the course and continue to ignore what's right in front of us?" Ironwood said.

Beep beep, beep beep 

Ozpin stood up from his chair, "Come in," 

The door open as Mystogen and Ruby stepped in, Ruby spoke up first, "Ah! Sorry, it took so long, someone accidentally hit all the buttons on the elevator on the way up here,"

"Oh, I wonder who it was," Mystogen said looking down at Ruby.

"It wasn't me," Ruby said, which Mystogen let out a sigh.

"Thank you for coming Ruby, Mystogen, how are you feeling?" Ozpin asked.

"Okay, I guess," Ruby said, Mystogen just shrugged, "I'd feel better if my bad-guy catching record wasn't 0 for 3," 

The two chuckled slightly but the three adults were very serious.

"Okay, so this is the tone we're going for," Mystogen said.

"Ruby, Mystogen, I feel it's appropriate to let the both of you know that I think what you two did last night is exactly what being a huntress and huntsman is all about," Ironwood said as he approached the two, "You recognized a threat, you took action, and you did the very best you could,"

"Thank you, sir," Ruby said.

"Yeah thanks," Mystogen said nodding.

"Now the general her has already informed us of the events that, transpired last night but now that you both have rested we were wondering if you both had anything to add," Ozpin said.

"Was anyone else with her? Did she look familiar to you at all?" Glynda asked.

"I...I don't know, she was wearing a mask. And she never said anything to me but I know she fought with glass," Ruby said.

"But me and Ruby think it wasn't her semblance," Mystogen added.

"Her clothing lit up whenever she attacked,"

"Save for the glass, that sounds like a woman I fought the night we met Ruby and Mystogen," Glynda noted.

"Embedding dust into clothing is an age-old technique, It could have been anyone," Ironwood stated.

"Wait, you think this girl is connected to Torchwick and the White Fang?" Ruby asked.

"It's possible," Ozpin said, "But we still lack the required evidence to link the two together,"

Then Ruby did something risky, "Actually I-I think I remember her saying something about a hideout or something in the Southeast, just outside the kingdom," 

Ozpin smiled, "Interesting,"

"I thought you said the intruder never-" Glynda spoke before being interrupted.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Ruby, why don't you spend some time with your team, you have a big day ahead of you," Ozpin suggested.

"Anytime," Ruby said starting to walk away.

"And Miss Rose, please try to be discreet about this matter," Ozpin said.

"Yes, sir," Ruby said walking into the elevator.
