We get to torchwicks base and walk in the white fang scaring teal we then get to his office and emerald and mercury walk in "oh god the kids are here what do you want" he says "actually we are just here to watch" mercury says "watch what" he asks "hello roman" i say walking in with teal he flinches at the sight of me "i think you know why im here" i say "I've done all the work what more do you want" he says "well we just had to kill the chief of police because you let him catch wind of what's happening" i say "shit" he says "calm down it won't be me this time it will be her" i say gesturing to teal "the little girl" he asks "yeah she's mad at you for killing her family and i don't feel like beating you so have fun teal" i say gesturing for her to go to him she then grabs a pole on the ground and starts hitting him with it he decides to fight back hitting her to the ground and im about to beat him for it but before i can he falls to the floor screaming "what the hell" emerald says and i look to teal who's eyes are glowing "teal please stop" i say and she looks to me her eyes going back to normal "what the hell was that" torchwick yells getting back up "well it seems teal is more interesting then i first thought" i say "what did i do" teal asks "it seems you've activated your semblance" i say to her "what does that mean" she asks "here come with me emerald mercury you can deal with him" i say they both nod and teal walks with me and i lead her to a group of white fang working "so teal can you tell me what you were thinking when you did that to torchwick" i ask "i was just thinking i wanted him to hurt to" she explains "hmm can you do me a favour" i ask "what is it" she asks "i want you to look at one of those people over there and imagine them in pain" i say "ill try" she says then she focuses on one of them and he doubles over in pain "ok stop" i say and she does "how am i doing that" she asks "its your semblance" i explain "what's a semblance" she asks and i explain to her all about Aura's and semblance "so i can make people feel pain" she asks "well maybe there is more to it then that" i say "what do you mean" she asks "well try making them feel something else like sadness or fear" i say "ok I'll try" she says and i look over and see the whole group cowering "very good" i say and she stops "that's crazy all i have to do is see them and i can make them feel what i want" she says "now teal would you like to come with me" i ask "where" she asks "well i am a student at beacon and i would like you to come stay with me" i say "really" she asks "yes but there are some rules" i say "what are they" she asks "the main rule is that you can't tell people what i do or what happened today" i say "i won't" she says "you will do whatever i say without complaints" i say "understood" she says "you won't talk to anyone unless i say so" i finish "i can do that" she says "good now lets go" i say walking off and she follows

I get back to beacon with teal in toe and i run into goodwitch "may i ask why you brought a child into our school" she asks "i found her on the street and couldn't bring myself to leave her there" i say "well ok as long as she doesn't cause problems" goodwitch says confusing me "she won't" i say "good now you should go back to your team" she says walking off "it worked" teal says "what did you do" i ask "i made her accepting" she says "you're a smart kid" i say "thank you" she says "alright well we are almost at the dorm make sure no one knows about what happened" i say "no one will know a thing" she says "mother would like you" i say "who is mother" she asks "ill take you to her when i get the time" i say then i open the door seeing everyone is asleep "i guess it is late" i say "so these are your teammates" teal asks "well everyone except for her" i say pointing to summer who is sleeping next to yang "im guessing this is your bed" teal says pointing to mine "yes now lets go to bed" i say climbing in and she does the same we then go to bed

I wake up with everyone still asleep except summer "goodmorning" i say "morning" she says back "why did you end up sleeping in here" i ask "i was speaking to yang and i fell asleep" she explains "oh ok im glad i don't have school today" i say "and why is that" she asks and as if on que teal wakes up "oh that's why" she says "morning teal" i say "morning" she says back "hello it's nice to meet you" summer says "hello nice to meet you as well" she says "you seem kinda young to be here" summer says "i am six im here because ruby found me on the street and brought me here" she says "well that's just the sweetest thing" summer says "she reminded me of me when i was younger so i couldn't leave her" i explain "what do you mean" summer asks "when i was a child i was alone then my mother found me and took me to her place and raised me ever since" i explain "oh" she says seeming to be thinking about something "well im hungry do you want to get some food" i ask teal "yes please" she says "do you want to come with" i ask summer "no i need to think about some things" she says "alright" i say and me and teal walk to the lunchroom

As we are eating i see a crow looking at us through a window "teal do you see that bird" i ask "yes why" she asks "make it very tired" i ask and she does the bird falls asleep "come with me" i ask and she does i walk outside grab the bird and take it to the roof "wake it up" i say and it shakes for a second before turning into qrow "what the hell was that" he asks "sorry but im still seeing what teal can do" i say "who's teal" he asks "i am" teal says "anyway what do you want" i ask "i came to warn you" he says "warn me of what" i ask "i think summer knows" he says
