Heart Attack

I watched through the window, after given Weiss what she needed to comfort Ruby and Yang, what would occur. Nobody else was awake at these early hours, I knew. Well, I had made Tim fall asleep, and made sure Oscar didn't wake up too early either. All was good until I noticed Yang get up from her place and enter. I quietly floated behind her stopped the door and got into her room with her.

"Look Ruby I really don't want to talk about it, would you leave me alone please?"

"Well, I shall pass the message to her. But first, I wish to talk to you" I said making her eyes widen and look at me.

"Oh, Kori..."

"Hello, I may have not known what transpired outside, but I wish to speak to you," I said calmly. Her thoughts were loud, almost as if begging me to see them, the whole argument about Blake within her mind was most similar to the one Weiss had about Ruby.

"By now, you must know"

"Your thoughts are loud," I said with a soft smile. "Just like those Weiss had about your sister...Am I correct to assume you and...Blake had a connection?"

"Yes...I know she is our teammate but I'm not just gonna change my mind"

"Nobody will ask you to, or at least, I shall not" I replied to Yang.

"I'm sorry, but...I don't think you may know what it's like to be left" she started. "You have a team, a team who came for you, you had adventures! You only left because you kinda graduated or something! My mom left me, Ruby's mom left too. Tai was always busy with school and Ruby couldn't even talk yet!" nobody told her the whole story, I see. "I had to pick up all the pieces. I had to keep things together. Alone."

I stared quietly and breathed deeply. "We are much more alike than you think"

"What do you mean!?"

I smiled looking at the floor. "My mother and father died, and the throne of Tamaran was given to me since both had seen me more fit to rule. I was expected to be the beginning of a peaceful era. But, my sister wished for my death..." I looked at her, her eyes were wide. "She tried to kill me, organized rebels in order to do so, and I ended up on earth. Heroes from there, that I barely knew, fought to help me. Thanks to them I learned their language, and I told them this story"

"I'm sorry"

"It's alright, but this isn't what I mean by similar. What I mean to say, someone, you loved hurt you. And both of us had had that experience with a teammate and with family" Yang looked confused, unprepared, but I kept on "The first hero who took me in is called Dick Grayson, or the codename Nightwing. He was a leader in his own right, and we helped each other get over everything, be it emotional, or battle wise. We grew close, to the point we were a couple. That was when things went awry."

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to..."

"No, I believe it is needed, for you to understand," I said calmly sitting by her side. "I may not know what happened to you and Blake, but I can tell you about my experience. He was sweet as can be, charming, but he felt the world was on his shoulders...sounds familiar?"

"Yes...Blake...when it came to Faunus she was like that"

"Well, he many times asked for space, and we did, I lost the count of how many times that happened in a span of five years," I said with a small smile, Yang looked worried, but I didn0t question it. "All those times, he would be with someone else. Someone else with red hair and awaiting arms, male, female, human or alien. I guess I loved the fact he never had a preference in that sense..."

"And you?"

"I tried twice," I said laughing. "But...that made him return to my arms. That was when my friends told me, it wasn't healthy, it wasn't right. Last I saw of him, I left the house because he had been kissing someone behind my back for six months and we were roommates more than lovers...so I left and arrived here" I looked back at her. "We all go through our own hardships, we all think we are alone. But we are not. Yang, your friends are here. And maybe Blake is scared of this world, as you said, she tends to believe its all her fault. Tell me, what do you think caused her to think this now?"
