Neglected, Abused, and Paradoxical Male Reader x RWBY

Chapter 4

You and Byokou stayed at Ozpin's for the night. He left early to go to his school, Beacon. You decided to bring Byokou with you around the city, to get you and him acquainted with your surroundings.

Byokou: Can we go into that shop? They have really cool rocks!

Y/N: That's called Dust. And we don't have the money to get any. We'll come back later when we have some money to spend. I promise. 

Then something catches your eye. You see a guy in the corner of your vision take off his glasses and stare at you. You stare right back.

Byokou: Who's that? 

Y/N: I don't know... let's go.

You begin ushering him down the sidewalk.

Y/N:*Thinks* I have a weird feeling about this guy. If he follows me, I'll have no choice to confront him. Maybe he'll go away?

You feel as if you jinxed something because the guy turned around to follow you.

Byokou: He looks nice! I want to say hi!

Y/N: Byokou no!

Byokou used his semblance to create watery platforms using the air around him to walk over the road toward the guy.

You look around for something to help you get across the road without getting hit by a vehicle. You see a lamppost nearby. You run over to it and clamber up it. Byokou is about halfway to the guy, who looks confused. Can't imagine why.

You're on top of the lamppost when suddenly Byokou looks to be losing his balance. He is about 20 feet in the air, and a vehicle is approaching. You and the guy both see it happen. Byokou slips on his own semblance-created platform and falls.

You immediately dive off the lamppost and try to catch Byokou. But the guy is somehow right there. He caught Byokou with one arm and put him in the crook of his arm. And then since you are both diving toward each other, you both have an arm outstretched. 

You both grasp hands and fall. You're about 10 feet off the ground. Suddenly, these pitch-black tendrils shoot off of the guy's body and latch onto the lamppost you dove off from. He uses it to swing himself onto a nearby roof, away from any more people or vehicles.

He places Byokou on the ground and gently pushes him towards you. You step in front of him protectively, ready to fight this guy. He may have just saved Byokou, but you aren't taking any risks.

???: Why are you so defensive? I just saved him.

Y/N: I can't take any chances. Who are you?

???: My name is Y/N.

A/N: I may have written myself into a difficult spot. Y/N(1) is going to be the Y/N with Byokou. Y/N(2) is going to be the one we just met. A/N note over

Y/N(1): Y/N? That's my name.

Y/N(2): Huh, ain't that a thing.

An awkward silence ensues.

Y/N(1): Was that your semblance?

Y/N(2): My what?

Y/N(1): Your semblance. You know, the power that you're born with?

Y/N(2) seems to get more serious.

Y/N(2): I know I might regret this since I just met you, but you seem trustworthy, so I'm going to tell you a secret.

Byokou: Yay! Secret!

Y/N(1): Be quiet for just a second Byokou. Go on.

Y/N(2) I am not from this universe. 

You remain silent for a minute.

Y/N(1): What?

He sighs as if this has happened before. Which it probably has.

Y/N(2): I said that I'm from another universe

Y/N(1): I know that, but how is that possible?

Y/N(2): I have no idea. 

Awkward silence round 2.

Y/N(1): *Ahem* What was that dark tendril-thing you used earlier? I have never seen a semblance like that.

Y/N(2): Oh, that. So, this isn't the first universe that I've been to. And with each universe I visit, I seem to pick up a new power. The tendril you saw was a power I got from the universe I was previously. Basically, I have power over light and darkness. I can make it physically manifest. I just have gotten used to using them as a tendril.

Y/N(1): What are the other powers that you recieved from other universes?

Y/N(2): That's something I'm going to keep to myself. I gotta have some secrets.

He says. I agree.

Y/N(2): Oh, by the way. I'd like it if you never mention me to anyone else in this world. I've been here less than a day, and I'd like to remain mostly anonymous until I know more about this world.

Y/N(1): I could help you. 

Y/N(2) What about the little guy over there?

He says, gesturing to Byokou.

Y/N(1): He's going to help too. And if you try anything...

Y/N(2) put his hands up in surrender.

Y/N(2): I won't do anything to him.

Y/N(1): Then we won't have a problem.

You look over the edge of the building you're on.

Y/N(1): Think you could help us out?

He nods, then creates a platform of darkness for you and Byokou to stand on, then lowers you two into an alleyway so as not to drop you off in front of a bunch of people. The platform then becomes a hand and waves goodbye.

Byokou: Bye!!

Hey, thanks for reading my chapter. I know it's been a while. I needed a small break. I'll try to update soon.
