Remnant's Black Snow Hope [Under Revisions]

Chapter 20 Redux: Setting Out

3rd Person POV:

Many alarms have been raised as Ozpin, Ironwood, and Glynda are all seen in the headmaster's office discussing the events that transpired during the night of the dance.

Ironwood: Ironwood: They were here... (raises his voice and angrily slams his fist on the desk) Ozpin, they were here!

Glynda: We're very much aware of that! Thank you, James.

Ironwood: Fantastic! You're aware! Now are we going to do something about it or should we just stay the course and continue to ignore what's right in front of us?!

An alert sound plays, signifying that someone has arrived on the elevator.

Ozpin: Come in.

The elevator doors open as Y/N and Ruby step into the office.

Ruby: Sorry it took so long. Someone accidentally hit all the buttons on the elevator on the way up here. (pausing before quickly explaining herself) It wasn't me.

She turns to Y/N, who simply gives her a knowing look as she blushes out of embarssment.

Ozpin: Thank you both for coming. How are you feeling?

Y/N: A little down because the thief got away.

Ruby: Yeah, I'd feel better if my bad-guy-catching record wasn't O-for-three.

The three instructors stare silently as Y/N and Ruby both nervously look down.

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

Ironwood: (approaching the pair) Ruby, Y/N, I feel it's appropriate to let you know that I think what you both did last night is exactly what being a Huntress is all about. You recognized a threat. You took action. And you did the very best you could.

Y/N: T-Thank you, general.

Ruby: It means a lot, sir.

Ozpin: Now, since we've only got the tail-end of the events that... transpired last night, we were wondering if you had anything to add.

Glynda: Was anyone else with her? Did she look familiar to you at all?

Ruby: I... I don't know. She was wearing a mask, and never said anything to us. But I know she fought with glass.

Y/N: It's only a guess, but she really reminded me of the woman we fought the night we met. Her clothes lighting up whenever she attacked and the way she deflected each of our attacks with one hand, it was all done in the exact same way.

Glynda: It does match up with the woman's description.

Ironwood: Embedding Dust into clothing is an age-old technique. It could have been anyone.

Ruby: Wait. You think this girl is connected to Torchwick and the White Fang?

Ozpin: It's possible. But we still lack the required evidence to link the two together.

Ruby: Actually, I... I think I remember her saying something about a hideout, or something, in the southeast. Just outside the Kingdom.

Ozpin: Interesting.

Glynda: I thought you said the intruder never--

Ozpin: Thank you both for your cooperation. Why don't you go and spend some time with your team? You two have a big day ahead of you.

Ruby: (leaving) Any time.

Y/N: (does a small respectful bow before also leaving) I'm glad that I was able to help out a little.
