Merc Male Reader x RWBY

chapter 16

Y/N POV
Cafeteria
"And in other news, vale is still recovering from the devastating bombing of the white fang that happened 3 days ago. Most suprising of all is the aid of the black fang, a well known anti-faunas hate group, who have denied ever being included in the atrocity that killed 273 faunas and injured over 400. White fang activity has grounded to a halt in vale while they try to pick up the pieces." Everyone watched the news woman with blank faces, slight sadness breaking through their mask. Most people had got over what they did, Blake seems upbeat as the white fang and the black fang are working together to help, almost as if there was no racism. Nora and yang were back to their hyper personality which was evident by them stroking my wolf ears and tail.
"Ren, Ruby can you get them off me please?" I asked with a blush, trying to push off the cooing girls but to no avail.
"Yang is much stronger than me so no, that and I've still got a bag of cookies to eat" Ruby replied, nibbling on a chocolate chip cookie.
"I've finally got a break from Nora's hyper personality and insatiable hunger for pancakes, sorry y/n" ren replied, sipping on a cup of tea.
"Goddamit" I huffed, pouting slightly. Two mounds were pressed against the back of my head and I could already tell who it was.
"Can you stop Yang?" I asked
"Stop what y/n?" Asked Yang, feigning innocence.
"Y-you know what" I replied, trying to push her off me but to no avail. The cafeteria doors opened to reveal the rest of my team, all with smiles on their faces. As Tessa was walking she accidentally bumped into Cardin, who turned around to stare at her.
"Sorry" he said before walking away, much to everyone's suprise. Ever since the attack on the white fang he has been quite docile in his racism, which most faunas took delightfully.

As my team arrived at the table I gave Mia a pleading look to which she sighed
"Yang, nora, let him eat his lunch in peace"
"Aww" they both whined before heading back to their seats. Neo sat on my right while Mia sat on my left. Tessa sat next to Neo and sapphire sat next to Mia.
"So, Cardin's not as racist" said sapphire, starting the conversation.
"Reckon y/n got through to him by beating him or do you think it has to do with the attack?." Asked yang, winking at me to which I just blushed in response.
"Probably a bit of both" replied pyrahh, using her arms to support her breasts in hope that jaune would notice, but he just smiled at her. Neo grabbed my tail before wrapping it around her neck like a makeshift scarf before leaning against me and closing her eyes. Everyone giggled at this while I just sighed, but I couldn't help but let a grin snake it's way onto my face.
'Cute'
Oh yeah, during the 3 days I've been getting used to guardians powers in real life and my mind scape. While I can't do anything fancy I can do mini blasts like the one I used against Tyrian and I'm also close to summoning the sword again. Soon, I will be strong enough to go after the false maiden.
"Can mr L/N go to professor Ozpins office immediately" came the voice who I assume was miss Goodwitch.
"What did you do now" asked Tessa, glaring at me playfully.
"Nothing! I haven't done anything!" I exclaimed, trying to defend myself from the judgemental stares.
"Mhmm, just go you dolt" said Weiss, crossing her arms. Standing up I immediate noticed the weight on my tail so I looked over to see neo dangling off my tail, hugging it tightly. I could hear the table laughing as I tried to pull off the neapolitan girl.
"Neo, get off" I whined but to no avail.
"Its so fluffy" she replied
Thankfully, tessa decided to be my savior.
"My tail is just as fluffy neo, hug mine instead"
Neo complied and i was able to leave, heading down the hall towards ozpins office.

As the elevator doors opened I could clearly see our little group, with qrow looking grumpy and annoyed while Ironwood looked exhausted. Those two must of been arguing for awhile.
"Ahh mr l/n, glad you could join us. Nice wolf ears" spoke ozpin, sipping on some coffee.
"Thanks, grew em a few days ago" I replied nonchalantly as if it were an everyday occurrence. Everyone in the room was just staring at my extra features, confused as fuck. My eyes wandered to the screen to see the night I was attacked by tyrian, with my hand extended and pitch black smoke exiting my hand. My eyes the moved over to the picture of the guardian and what I presume was the original maidens... ozpins not that stupid.
"He was a wolf faunas you know" I stated, staring at the picture.
"He?" Asked qrow with confusion
"The guardian" I replied
"That's not what I mea-"
"Really, HE was?" Asked ozpin, cutting off qrow and adding emphasis to 'he' but I just brushed it off.
"Yep... anyway I'm guessing you want to talk about him?"
"Yes indeed, has he talked to you? Is he the reason for your new faunas traits? Have you used his powers?" Asked Ironwood, shaking slightly in excitement.
"Yep, he has talked to me about salem and who he was. Also yes, he is the reason for my extra ears and tail. And yes I've been adjusting to his powers." I replied, leaning against the wall.
"Very interesting, but that is not the main reason we want to talk with you" said ozpin, placing his mug on a coaster.
"We need your help to locate the other 3 maidens. We need to place them in protection, away from salem" Ironwood continued to which I frowned.
"No" I replied with a straight face, suprising everyone in the room.
"Wh- wha?" winter said, suprise leaking from her voice.
"If we want to beat salem for good then we need the 4 maidens, if I tell you who they are you'll just hide them away" I replied which caused Ironwood to frown.
"If Salem gets ahold of them remnant will be a wasteland" warned Ironwood, trying to reason with me.
"One maiden is hidden under beacon, another is hard to pin down because of their semblance and the last two are considerably well protected." I replied with a calm voice.
"So you know who they are?" Asked winter to which I chuckled.
"Yep, I'll tell you as long as you don't try and hide them"
"Child you do not understa-" ironwood was cut off by Ozpin, much to my amusement.
"Jimmy, if we want remnant to have a blossoming future then the black queen can not live. We have a chance to finally rid the world of that monster, do you really want to pass up this chance?" Ozpin asked, sipping his coffee.
"But the risk!" Ironwood exclaimed
"If we don't kill salem remnant will be destroyed anyway"
"... I..  I trust you ozpin, I hope to our you've made the right choice"
"I have Jimmy.. I have. Mr l/n, if you would please?"
"Welp, for starters, Raven branwen is the spring maiden. She's staying at my place in vale" I admitted, much to everyone's suprise.
"My team mate Tessa is the summer maiden"
Ozpin's eyes widened at that.
"And finally... Winter schnee is the winter maiden"
Everyone sat in silence while looking at Winter, the woman in question sat frozen with eyes as wide as saucers.
"... this was certainly interesting, mr l/n could you please go and collect miss branwen for us while we get Tessa. I think it is imperative that we train the maidens in the usage of their powers" said ozpin, sat dumbfounded in his chair. Probably wondering how he missed Tessa being a maiden.
"Of course professor ozpin, see you in an hour" I replied before looking out the window and 'blinking' to the docks.

3rd person
Ozpin's office
Everyone stood in silence as the bombshell of the maidens identities was dropped on them. Winter and raven were well known huntress' so it was suprising for them to hold the power of a maiden.
"Anyone else notice y/n called the guardian a he?" Asked qrow, brushing his hair back.
"Yes I did, seems they hid their real gender from him" replied ozpin.
"Why though?" Asked Glynda
"Probably because he'd be less thrilled to have a girl in his head 24/7, which may make things like getting changed awkward." Replied ozpin
"Fair enough... ha, kids gonna freak when he discovers her true gender" qrow chuckled.
"That he is qrow... that he is" said Ozpin
