Lurking Darkness

Trust Love

Next Day...

You, Oscar, and RJNR, (JNRR? They still haven't figured it out.) are all cooking for some "special guests" that Qrow has invited to the house.

"Man how much food do we need to cook? How many people did Qrow say we're coming." You ask Ruby.

"Not too many he said, so in Uncle Qrow'a language, probably 5 or 6 people." She shrugs.

"Get the rest of the chicken." You deadpan.
She laughs it out loud, Ren chuckles as well, helping Ruby and you prepare food.

"Ruby! We're here. Come say hi." Qrow yells from the living room.

"Coming Uncle Qrow!" She's struggling trying to cook the noodles.

"You're going to burn that." Ren informs her.

"Shut up no I won't." Ruby says. Black smoke puffs from the pan.

"Ruby!" Qrow shouts.

"Okay you take over." You take the pan from Ruby. You snicker at her panic. As you make sure the food doesn't burn, you hear Ruby talk loudly.

"Hey Uncle Qrow, we thought your "not many" meant like 5 or 6 people so we're just cooking all of the food in the hou—." You hear the pan of tea drop to the floor and the pot break.

"Ren take over. I'll be back." He nods at you.
"Ruby what was that? Are you...okay?" You are shocked by who's in front of you.
In front of you stand Weiss, Yang...

And Blake Belladona...

Yang is embracing her sister, while Weiss, Qrow and Blake look onward to them.

"I love you." Yang says through tears.

"I love you too." Ruby is crying at this point.
Weiss and Blake are tearing up as well. Everyone comes in to see the gathered Team RWBY all crying at this point.

"Weiss? Blake? Come here." Weiss and Blake run at their leader and embrace in a group hug.

"I love all of you."

"We love you too Ruby." The three other quarters of RWBY say.

"Gu- Guys?" They break the hug and all stare at you, but you can only stare at Blake.

"Y/n?" Weiss, Yang and Blake exclaim.

"How'd you-? How'd you all get here?" Still staring at Blake. She's acquired a new outfit in a long white trench coat with a black tank top, split into a design at the upper chest, with thigh high boots, and she's lost the ribbon completely, revealing her cat ears for all to see.

"Oh we'll let Yang tell you that." Weiss exclaims. The air around you becomes warm, then cold. Blake is staring at you.

"Y/n? I—." You've ran outside before she could finish her sentence.

Blake's P.O.V

"What's wrong with Iceman?" Yang asks.

"He... He's been through a lot... to say the least." Ruby tells everyone.

"He looked different. Not anything like the last time I saw him." Weiss says.

"You can thank me for that. I trained him till he couldn't stand straight. Now he's a killing machine, his Semblance was incredibly tough to get a hold of, once we did manage to finally reign it in, he's capable of doing everything he could before Beacon, and now he's even able to heat up and freeze more than ever before." You're shocked.
