Lurking Darkness

Ut Potius Tempora

2 Months Later..

"Qrow... please talk to Y/n. I can't get the boy to speak a lot, ever since he's learned of Pyrrha." Tai asks. The old drunk sighs.

"Hgh, fine Tai. I'll talk to him." Your mentor begins walking over to you.

"Let me be Qrow, we've trained enough today. I can get my semblance cold enough to destroy steel, and hot enough to melt stone. What do you need?" You sternly put. You continue training your mind by meditating.

"Kid, we gotta talk." He sits beside you.

"No. We train or we don't. I don't want to talk. Talking isn't important anymore." You stand up to move away.

"Well too bad, we're going to talk about Bea—." Qrow stands up to try and follow you, but you use your speed to put Qrow in a hold by his collar.

"No. No we aren't." You look him dead in his eyes. He notices your eyes have turned a violent red, just like Yang's do when she's pissed, only she doesn't melt anything she touches.

"Alright kid. Put me down."  You let him go and look at your gauge, you're at 230 degrees F. You sit back down, calm down at lower your temperature.

"Kid..." Qrow pleads.

"Qrow, leave." He turns and walks away.

"Can't say I didn't try Tai. Maybe try a more gentle approach?" He looks at Ruby's window, Tai nods. Minutes later you hear the voice of Ruby Rose behind you.

"Hey Y/n." You say nothing, but acknowledge her being there with a look.

"Y/n, we need to talk."

"Ruby. If this is about Beacon, I'm not going to talk about it. Nor do I want to." You stand up, still staring at the tree line, thinking of nothing but the wind at your back, and the sun at your face.

"Y/n, we can't not talk about it, we can't keep these emotions corralled insi—." You turn and look at Ruby. Eyes, bright red. Brighter than the brightest red. A warning to not take it further.

"Please just listen if you do not want to talk.
Pyrrha was my frie—." You've had enough.

"I'm leaving out tomorrow." You cut her off mid sentence.

"Wait. What?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow. I'm going straight to Haven. I have to get answers." Ruby stares at you teary eyed.

"Y/n. You can't be serious.." Yang then arrives outside.

"Hey Y/n! What's goi-" She notices your eyes and demeanor.

"What's wrong?"

"Y/n is—." You cut her off again.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. I have my new weapon, Ekdíkisi, and my training from Qrow. I need to find answers at Haven." Yang stares at you, her eyes now a bright red.

"You aren't leaving."

"Try to stop me." You stare at her, your eyes get even more red, as they do, steam begins to erupt from your pores, perhaps a side effect of your blood boiling. Your gauge is over 300 degrees F now. Yang launches forward past Ruby at crazy speeds. You do the same. However, thanks to Qrows training, now you have no reason to lower your temperature to have incredible power, just be emotional enough. You throw one punch to her gut, she collapses.

"Why? Why won't you just let us help?" She asks attempting to breathe.

"I don't need it. I am a one man team after all."
You sternly add. Tai and Qrow come running out as you walk past them, boiling.

"I'm leaving tomorrow morning Tai, Qrow." You walk past them to the woods and proceed to head inside, slicing a tree down out of anger.
You have to meditate and calm yourself. You notice your hand is violently shaking.

"Is this from my heat? Or from combat?"
You steel your hand and proceed to meditate.

And The Haven Arc begins! Y/n has really gotten control of his semblance. Again. Thanks for reading! -P
