[Discontinued] Sorrow's Road (Abused Male Reader X RWBY)

16: Aftermath

'I don't even know why I'm here'

I sit in a chair as Ironwood argues with Ozpin and Goodwitch. That was until some beeps were heard.

Ozpin: Come in

Ruby walks through the door.

Ruby: Sorry about that, someone hit all the buttons on the way up here... it wasn't me

Ozpin: Thank you for coming, how're you feeling?

Ruby: Okay, I guess

My gaze slowly falls down to the weapon she has on her hip

'How the hell does she even carry that?'

Ruby: Okay that's the tone we're going for got it...

I laugh at this. Then all eyes are on me.

Y/N: And now I feel uncomfortable with 3 sets of eyes staring at me

Ruby: What about Ozpin?

Y/N: He's... a special case

He smirks at my comment; Ironwood walks up to Ruby.

'Holy shit he's tall'

Ironwood: Ruby, I want you to know that what you did last night is exactly what being huntress is all about. You recognized a threat and took to action 

Ozpin: The general has already explained to us the events that had transpired last night, but since you're rested we wanted to know if you had anything to add

Goodwitch: Who else was there, besides Mr. Mar

I wave with an icepack resting on my poor gentleman vegetables

Goodwitch: Did she look familiar to you at all?

Ruby: I... don't know; she was wearing a mask. She didn't really say anything to me, but I know she fought with some kind of glass. I don't know if it was her semblance or not. The clothing she was wearing lit up every time she attacked 

Goodwitch: Save for the glass it sounds just like the woman I fought that night we met Ruby

Ironwood: It could've been anyone who knows how to embed dust into clothing since it's an age-old technique

I started tuning them out; not paying attention to anything except my thoughts.

'Maybe I could go get some snacks after this or maybe go watch a movie. Actually...'

Goodwitch: Y/N!

Y/N: Huh? What?

Goodwitch: Did this mystery woman look familiar to you?

Y/N: Yes actually

Ironwood: Who?!

Y/N: Don't remember her name though, but I'll always have those amber eyes engraved into my brain

Ruby: Actually, I... I think she said something about a hideout or something... in the Southeast

Goodwitch: I thought you said the intruder never-

Ozpin: Thank you both for cooperation. Why don't you spend some time with your team?

Ruby: Will do!

After that she leaves

Ozpin: And you, Mr. Mar

Y/N: Hm?

Ozpin: I'd like for you to go out into the Emerald forest and... suppress some Grimm activity there. It's starting to get a little too high for my liking
