Heart Attack

Cups!

I looked at Jaune, startled he had woken me up. I sighed taking away any ears from my eyes with my fists.

"Jaune! I...apologize! DId I wake you!?"

"No...I couldn't sleep" he said sitting next to me. "I came here...well...to say I'm sorry."

"Oh!" why would he apologize? "There is no need!"

"No, I should say sorry," said Jaune regretfully. "I was way out of line, I yelled at you when you didn't do anything wrong"

"I understand," I said taking his hands in mine. "I am afraid as well. things like this, losing everything you believe in...its heartbreaking. But...now all we can do is find a better way to change things. I promise Jaune, we will get them under control..."

"I know...I know you will" he said with a small smile. "I want to help. I want to help you and the others, and I also want to help save Oscar from vanishing"

"Thank you...may I ask you to help me with something?"

"Anything!" he was blushing, it was sweet of him to irradiate heat in a moment like this. 

"Help me find a metal or plastic cup, and maybe call my friends. I need to do a family activity they showed me, I could do it alone but I prefer company!"

Jaune looked confused, but he accepted. Giving me a wooden glass for me to use, and walking away. I sighed, trying to remember how it started, and once I did, my song began. The rhythm of the cup was relaxing, I remember the movie from where I am copying it. It was the first-ever one I watched with the whole batfamily. Dick had decided to take me to their home on Christmas, and we sat watching bitch perfect and peating popped corn. It made me happy to remember those moments, as I played with the glass between my hands.

"I got my ticket for the long way round. Two bottles of whiskey for the way."I smiled, barely hearing Qrow stop drinking at the word whiskey.  Suddenly, three more cups joined me, I looked up, to see my dear friends: Damian, Jason, and Tim singing harmoniously. "And I sure would like some sweet company, and I'm leaving tomorrow, what do you say" 

I didn't pay attention to what he said, but more noises followed. I couldn't care, for this song I wanted to enjoy.  The three of us taking turns to harmonize and sing "When I'm gone, When I'm gone... You're gonna miss me when I'm gone. You're gonna miss me by my hair, you're gonna miss me everywhere, oh! You're gonna miss me when I'm gone!"

We started to pass each other the cups, keeping up with the rhythm, our team was staring, but the smiles within my friends face brought me warmth and comfort. 

I heard then more cups join in the background I laughed as we all sang together.

And then I realized. I have a new team, a new family, and I do not need Dick anymore. Oscar was the first to interrupt, running and hugging me tightly. I only stroked his hair calmly.

"Heh, looks like pipsqueak likes ya," said Jason laughing.

"I like him too, he is like my brother," I said with a smile.

"Really?" he asked surprised. "After all this..."

"Oscar, you didn't want this, none of it is your fault. Why would I think any differently?" I asked he looked doubtful.

"As she said" added Damian. "You are not at fault. By the way, we need to say something, at least Mockingjay and I have to"

"What is it?" asked Jaune.

"We have to leave for a few days. We will go to our world for some supplies and back to this one to crack some information about the Faunus. No, not the ones who are good, but the ones who are part of the terrorist group" said Damian. "We are planning to infiltrate it, by posing as criminals. Since we are unknown, they won't have any evidence to say otherwise"
