Tim wasn't with us, no he had returned to our home dimension to help out with anything that was needed. I, on the other hand, have not had any dreams, which is why it was surprising for me to wake up on a bed of an unknown place. A hospital? No, a school, these were bunk beds, just like those that Ruby used to speak of! Yet, I was alone. What had happened?!

"Friends!?" I yelled out, they usually answered me when I said that. I was scared. There was no answer, I was up in a second, floating around the room, ready to blast the door when it opened showing Qrow, Ruby, Jaune, and an unknown man. I blinked, landing on the floor once again. They looked different.

"Kori, you woke up at last princess," said Qrow with a lazy grin.

"I apologize for the inconvenience! I do not know what occurred!" I said laughing nervously. "Where is Robin?"

"Training!" said Ruby with a grin and hugging me. "You had us worried! Robin and Oscar were very very worried! They wouldn't leave your room, and only let Jaune come in sometimes"

"Well, we were worried!" said Jaune with a blush. I smiled, of course, those worries were not for me. It was for who he saw me as, Pyrrha. 

"Kori Ander, this is General James Ironwood, headmaster of Atlas academy," said Qrow with a smile.

"Does he know?" I asked mentally. Qrow shook his head while I shook General Ironwood's hand. "And the relic?"

"Gave him a fake one."  answered Jaune "Your dimension made it"

"And, Robin said it was better to wait and see if he is trustworthy,"  said Ruby. I understood, and I also noticed my crown was gone. What had happened? Had my own magic made it vanish? My clothes were also different, everyone was.

"You and your team are welcome to stay here as long as it's needed," said General Ironwood.

"It will be an honor to stay at your premises General Ironwood!" I answered gratefully. 

"I'll leave you to get acquainted once again" he along with Qrow left us alone.

"You guys look so different!" I said happily, Jaune's hair reminded me slightly of how Richard looked when he first took me in as a titan. "Who was the one in charge of dressing me?"

"Oh! hehe, that was me and my friend Penny!" answered Ruby nervously.

"Penny Polendina? The one in your memories?" I asked.

"Yes, she actually is very much like you, she even has green lasers!" said Jaune.

"That's true! You could be sisters! You even talk the same" added Ruby. Sisters...Komand'r, she was never the nicest. "Don't worry she is really nice!"

Had they noticed my expression? 

"I apologize, I was just recalling my own sister in my past. We must get going, I wish to meet this friend of yours as well as Robin and Oscar"

"Actually, we came here as well because they said they had something important to tell us...without Ironwood of course," said Jaune, he had a different sparkle in his eye, different from the one I had seen back in his sibling's home.

They both allowed me to gaze into their memories as we walked, how General Ironwood spoke about his plans, how they were backfiring. Damian had been unconscious less time than me and had no idea about it. The desition he made to hide some things from the man, who Penny was, everything. They were making a communication tower and they were now licensed huntsmen. As for my case, I let go, walking towards Damian.

"Are we going to tell them? Your true names?"

"It is time" he answered. 

He looked up, placing his sword in its hilt and waiting for our team to stand before him, while I was right next to him. "There are many things I wish to tell you now. Because I didn't want to do it till the time was right. Now I will. Well, more like, I wish for all of us to exchange information, secrets we have that might help our cause or anyone you think would work for any other mission. For now, I will start. My brothers and I, are not from a real clan as you know. But unlike them I am, Al Ghul was my maternal grandfather's last name." Damian confessed calmly. "He was the leader of the league of shadows, you could also call him a king. Therefore I am his successor, my name is Damian Wayne. Peter Mockingjay is Jason Peter Todd,  Jackson Sparrow is Timothy Jackson Drake. These are our true names."
