Yang Xiao Long is inside a nightmare. All around her are broken pieces of buildings and darkness. She looks around, confused, and lets out a small gasp when she looks down. She raises both of her arms and turns them, examining their presence, particularly her right arm.

Yang looks up from her arms to see Adam Taurus walking toward her. The red accents in his hair, mask and outfit have a surreal glow. Yang steps back defensively and discovers that she is suddenly wearing Ember Celica. She blasts Adam five times, but they do nothing to him while he steadily continues walking closer.

Adam puts his right hand on the handle of his sheathed sword. Yang tries to attack him again, but her weapon is gone, as is her right arm. She stares for a moment in confusion and disbelief and then startles when Adam is abruptly directly before her. He grins at her and starts to unsheath Wilt from Blush.

Yang awakens with a gasp. She is in her room, lying on top of her bed. The robotic arm given to her by General Ironwood rests on her bedside table, out of the box. Yang looks at it for a moment before turning her face away.

Likewise, Y/n is tossing and turning in the bed that is opposite her, having a nightmare of his own.

Inside he recalls scenes of fighting Adam & Riot, from the amalgamation of their symbiotes, to the fight at the bottom of Beacon Tower, before seeing himself get stabbed in the chest.

He blinks, and feels a warm liquid leaking out of his mouth, and wipes it off, looking to see blood on his hand, before looking down to see his chest being pierced by a blade - Riot's blade, to be exact.

He looks up, to see Riot, glaring down at Eddie, before grinning, and forming a claw with his hand.

Y/n snaps awake, in a cold sweat, before covering his face, gaining the attention of Yang, who looks at him, before sighing, looking at the wall opposite.

Soon, both of them hear laughter coming from downstairs.

Yang & Y/n head downstairs to discover Professors Bartholomew Oobleck and Peter Port sitting at her kitchen table and laughing with her father, Taiyang Xiao Long. There's a bowl of fruit at the center of the table.

Port: And, and, and then, in comes Qrow, wearing a skirt! I was just a TA, I-I didn't know what to do, so I just... I just left the room to laugh!

The twins come to the kitchen door while the three laugh.

Taiyang: We told him it was a kilt! He'd never worn a uniform before, so he didn't know!

Oobleck: That is terrible! What is wrong with you!?

Taiyang: Hey! The girls all said he had nice legs! I did that jerk a favor! Besides, that's not even the best part! See, then we-

Port puts his right leg on the tabletop, cutting off Taiyang.

Port: "Like what you see?"

The three laugh and Port loses his balance. He tries to save himself from falling, but ends up on the floor.

Port: Whoa-oh!

There's even more laughter. Taiyang claps from mirth and Port joins in the hilarity from the floor. Yang giggles & Y/n gags, covering their mouths, but the three teachers become alerted to their presence. Oobleck stands while Port gets up off the floor.

Port: Oh, uh, Miss Xiao Long & Mr Branwen! Uh, please, join us.

Y/n: Oh so NOW the nonce takes notice.

Yang & Y/n enter while Oobleck laughs, a little bit embarrassed.

Oobleck: Oh, yes, yes, pull up a chair. Please, pull up a chair.
