(Armin's P.O.V.)
I'm standing there, looking at Volt confused.
Armin: Red Hood? He's dead.
Volt: No. He's very much alive. And Jay Sieks is holding a party for him tonight at Sieks Enterprises.
Armin: What makes you think he'll show up?
Volt: Because Jay Sieks is Red Hood's father. He'll show up. And we'll be there, too.
Armin: Right.
Volt tosses me an earpiece, which I catch.
Volt: Keep in touch.
I nod.
(Caleb's P.O.V.) Night - Gear and Tech Room - Secret Vale Base.
I'm standing with my Red Hood gear on. My hood is currently down. I grab my bow, picking it up. Ruby comes walking up to me.
Ruby: Caleb, let me come with you.
I look to her.
Ruby: You never know what's going to happen.
Michael: She has a point, Caleb. The enemy already knows you're alive. What if they decide to show up?
Caleb: I can't let Ruby get hurt. And if that's the case, I definitely don't want her coming.
Yang: She's very capable of handling herself. And if anything happens, and you're there with her, I like her odds.
Caleb: Fine. Michael, Lucy, Yang. You three stay here, monitor us. Assassin... Ruby, you two come with me. Gear up. We leave in five.
(No One's P.O.V.) Night - Sieks Enterprises.
A lot of people are outside of Sieks Enterprises, all making their way inside the building. News stations and reporters outside as well.
Jay and Hailey are standing by the entrance.
Hailey: You really think he's going to come?
Jay: I hope so. I hope he realizes we need him.
The two of them walk inside. Decorations lining the walls and ceiling. A little stage with a podium sits by a wall. Table sitting with refreshments and snacks.
Jay and Hailey are standing by the snack tables.
Hailey: There's an empty room you could've done this in. Why the main lobby?
Jay: There wasn't much of a main lobby yet, so it was easy to do it here. And besides, it's the nearest to the city and the people. And that's what's important.
It jumps outside, to a roof of a building across the street from Sieks Enterprises. Red Hood, Assassin, and Ruby come walking into view, standing at the ledge. Red Hood arms an arrow, firing it off as it's followed by a rope. It sticks into the building of Sieks Enterprises, feet off of the ground, tightening.
Ruby grabs Red Hood, and they both go zip lining down the rope. Assassin watches them.
The people who are still outside start cheering.
Inside, Jay and Hailey hear the cheering. They walk outside. Red Hood and Ruby are walking to the entrance, among the cheering and pictures from the citizens. Jay and Hailey walk right up to them.
Jay: Red Hood. It's good to see you're alive. It's good to see you came.
Red Hood: I had to come.
Jay looks to Ruby.
Jay: Who's this?
Red Hood: This is Ruby Rose. She's my plus one.
Jay: Nice to meet you, Ms. Rose.
