Just Who Are You? (Under Revision)

That Stung

Blank and Qrow had been following the group for at least a month. Somewhere along the way, the group shrank to Ruby, Jaune, Nora, Ren, and Kas. The group had been saving villages left and right while they were on their way to Haven, one of the Huntsman schools of the world.

At some point, Blank awoke to the loud sound of fighting. He knew he should have fallen asleep. The previous night, the boy had a sense of foreboding, telling him not to sleep. The male shook it off, believing it to be just his imagination. Following the clanging of weapon on weapon, Blank saw Qrow about to get stabbed by a male with a scorpion tail.

Before the drunken man could get impaled, someone stood before it. The person just so happened to know what the stinger would do. Blank found himself running in front of the attack before he could know it himself. The latter tried to grab the stinger, but the force caused him to twirl around. A grunt escaped Blank's lips while his back was turned.

"It's not very nice to hit a pretty lady."

Kas look at the male before her with a mixture of emotions. Blank couldn't quite understand some of them, but he turned around. The person that stabbed him looked familiar, but he was starting to run away. Blank had no intention of letting the assailant get away unharmed, so he shouted the first word that came to his mind.

"Switch!"

The boy didn't know what it would do, but he felt himself turn around and punch the person behind him instinctively. The gloves on his hands glowed a little bit and the impact from Blank's fist caused the recipient to be knocked to the ground, winded and defenseless.

"She will forgive you."

"Who are you?"

Blank heard the man before him talk to themselves, but he didn't have time for that. Before Blank knew it, he was stabbed again. It wasn't intense pain, but it wasn't something to scoff at either. The blow caused Blank's head to get woozy, and that took his focus away from his assailant. The scorpion-tailed man ran away. He didn't think he could make it out of a battle against all of them.

The group the males were following gathered around them and assaulted them with questions. Before they could ask too many, Qrow stepped in and stopped them.

"This will take a minute to explain."

The group successfully made it out of the destroyed village they were fighting the strange man in. It was nightfall by the time the large group made camp. A fire was made and the group huddled around the fire to listen to what Qrow has to say. They waited in suspense while they watched their friend nod to the older male.

"Alright. There's no easy way to say this, but...Blank lost his memories."

There were gasps all around. Then, questions were asked. They did it in an orderly fashion, Ruby going first.

"Does he know who we are?"

"No. All he knows it your names. There are some instinctive patterns, but that's a given."

The next person to ask a question was Jaune.

"What does he remember?"

Blank decided to speak up. This wasn't exactly a question that Qrow should answer.

"I don't remember anything, but there are flashes of memories passing through my mind when certain conditions are met. Said conditions vary. All I know is that my name is Blank, I went to Beacon, and your names."

Nobody said anything. They decided not to ask questions about their friend anymore because they were going to get very far with them. They decided to start questioning Qrow.
