We're in this together (Rwby x Faunus Titan pilot) (Volume 1)

Chapter 29: Less questions! More answers!

Blake was sitting at a table in a police interrogation room after her and the other Faunus of the group were all arrested.

Everyone had been sectioned off from each other in separate interrogation rooms for questioning.

The door to the room opened and Professor Ozpin walked in, a little surprising to Blake.

Blake:"Professor?"

Ozpin:"Ms. Belladonna, I'm sure after a night of thwarting villains and encountering a fellow classmate who's been actively wanted by the police for an extended period of time. You just want to go home and take a nap. But, I was hoping we could have a chance to chat before that happens."Ozpin said taking a seat across from her.

He took a sip from a coffee mug he seemingly always had with him as he set it down.

Blake:"Of course, B-But what about the others? Blake asked expectantly.

Ozpin:"We'll get to them in a moment, as a you know to enroll at my academy one must first pass a rigorous entrance exam. Most applicants spend years training at one of the numerous combat schools around the world, you are one of the few who did not, and yet you took the exam and passed with flying colors."

Blake:"I was raised outside of the kingdoms. If you can't fight, you can't survive."

Ozpin:"Well you most certainly survived Blake, I admire your drive and I am proud to run a school that accepts student from all walks of life, Rich, Poor, Human...Faunus."

Blake felt a bit antagonized by the way he said that.

Ozpin:"Why do you wear that Bow Blake?" Why hide who you are?"

Blake:"You may be willing to accept the Faunus professor but your species is not."

Ozpin:"True, but we are taking strides to lessen the divide."

Blake:"With all due respect, Mayor Winchester organizing a Kingdom wide manhunt for a single student slandered with being a potential terrorist because he's a Faunus doesn't exactly make me want to openly display my genetic heritage."

Ozpin:"I admit, its difficult to move forward when there's people actively trying to regress society to a more archaic form than it already is."

Blake:"Then why bother trying to extend a hand of friendship to people like him, knowing its only going to be slapped away."

Ozpin:"Because attaining what you want is almost always out of your grasp, having to fight for what you truly desire is the first step in a long and arduous journey. My humble beginnings as a Huntsman leading to me my current position as Headmaster of Beacon. It was not a seamless experience for me in the slightest."

Blake:"But you didn't have to deal with being treated barely better than the Grimm."

Ozpin:"Perhaps not, but I can understand how frustrating it can be to fight a battle that seems unwinnable. But the paths that we tread to our goals are difficult all the same."

Blake:"I suppose so."

Ozpin:"If that's all then your free to leave now, Vale's finest turned up no evidence of you having a direct affiliation with any organized or Extremist groups." Professor Ozpin said as he stood up from his seat, picked up his mug and turned to leave.

Blake:"What about the others? What's going to happen to them?"

Ozpin froze as he opened the door a jam into the hallway, he let loose a sigh which sounded less exhaustion more annoyance.

Ozpin:"Well the mostly positive news. I learned Haru and Lilly will be released immediately they had an alibi with the rest of your teammates thus they can't be held any further. Although Lilly whispered to me how she felt that several of the officers were visually ogling her."
