~Peter~

As Jinn gives him a more detailed explanation, Peter nods before the smoke clears and everyone turns to Oz, a new found hatred for the old wizard.

"I can't believe you lied to us." Yang glares as Ozpin recoils a bit.

"You lied to us about Pyrrha and how you wanted her to be the Fall Maiden." Summer growled.

"Hold on guys." Peter stood in front of the small boy as everyone seemed to gang up on him.

"Why are you of all people defending this liar?" Summer demanded.

"Because sometimes, the less people know the better. Humanity is thriving in Remnant when the peace is kept, but snooping around places will likely get us killed." Peter retorted as Summer huffed.

"Peter's just like him, secrets hurt a team more than they benefit. Terry should know, you lied to them about your persona." Yang snapped as the faunus boy hung his head low.

"I know hearing about Salem's immorality is jarring, it was for me." Peter replied.

"Oh so you knew about this unkillable person? Glad to know we were kept out of the dark." Blake chimed in.

"I'm getting tired of secrets being kept from us." Weiss nods.

Peter turned to Ozpin as the man frowns, tears threatening to fall.

"He's just a-" Qrow's fist connected with the Arachnid's face as he stumbled a bit before turning to see the old man, fury in his eyes.

"All those missions I did for him was all a damn lie! It's like Jimmy said, there is no beating her, she'll just bide her time before picking us off one by one." Qrow growled as Peter turned to him.

"I'm more pissed than you after coming to this reality Qrow, but it's not just Oz in there. Oscar exists as well!" Peter growled as Qrow went for his sword, only for webbing to hit his eyes as Peter launched forward and gave a haymaker to the old man.

"You don't think I know how secrets ruin people? I've seen my mentor turn into a monster for the sake of science. I failed to save Gwen after the Goblin knew my identity!" Peter lashed out, scaring team RWBY and Terry.

"But worst of all, I GOT MY UNCLE KILLED BECAUSE OF MY OWN RECKLESSNESS!!" Peter roared as everyone remained silent.

"I know secrets hurt, but sometimes for the greater good it is needed to survive. I know pain, I know hurt, I've died and I'll be damned if some ignorant ass tries to say otherwise." Peter turned to Yang, eyes emblazoned with fury.

Spyder Byte expanded as Peter turned to Maria and knelt in front of her.

"I apologize ma'am, but we must go before Grimm come down on us." He said softly, fighting the tears threatening to fall as Maria nods.

"Yang get your bike, we're leaving." Peter ordered as Terry walked over to the bike and pulled it out of the snow as Peter used one arm to pick the elder up and walked over to the bike, placing her on the end.

"Thank you Terry." Peter smiled at him as the cat faunus returned the smile in kind.

"I got you bro, we ain't got time to dally." Terry nods as Peter turned to Oscar and grabbed his shoulder.

"Oz, are you still with us?" He asks cautiously.

"No, he locked himself away." Oscar replied as tears fall down his face.

Peter frowned before pulling the scared boy into a hug as Oscar cried.

"I hate this, I hate this." He sobbed as Peter rubbed his back and rocking the young boy.
