Heart Attack

Hero

We were informed later we were to rest, it was a day off it seemed and I was glad for it, everyone deserved it. Each had something planned, Oscar had a date with Bart, Jaune was joining them along with Weiss. According to what they informed me, they were going to the movies, that apparently, existed in this world. Damian was going to visit Jason. We all knew that in reality he and Neo were going to be together, perhaps romantically. Blake and Yang were going to a dance club with team FNKY. And as for myself? I was accompanying Ruby, Ren, and Nora to a victory party Penny invited us to. I was excited! I loved those! The people were always so kind and happy!

Mantle reminded me so much of Gotham, the dark streets with dime lights, people around them cold and murky. The familiarity unnerved me a bit. But things were as grim as the scenery, Ren mumbling about how this victory party came too soon, and Nora defending it by saying they needed one sure thing.

"Until the Amity Tower goes up and everyone learns what we're fighting for," mumbled Ruby.

"We informed General Ironwood the truth" I confessed making them stop in their tracks.

"Already?" asked Ruby wide-eyed. 

"It was better to do it now, if we were to do it later there would be many more risks. Imagine if we decided to do so on an emergency just because we think he is ready by then?" I told them while crossing my arms. "He would go crazy...Believe me, I have seen it happen. I have met people with similar personalities, and countless times it comes to the same grave result, Qrow and Damian were the ones who suggested it..."

"Fine..." mumbled Ruby.

"I know its strange..."I confessed messing with my braided hair, Damian had done it based on a movie called Tangled. "But it would be to our advantage to have him with us! Also, it could make the fact of what we are planning to do to defeat her could be easier!"

"You're right," said Ren with a small smile. "At least, we are giving him hope..."

"Yea! By the way...how is the Oscar thing?" asked Nora. I was glad that for once there was no fighting from those two. Their relationship had been strained lately, and I feel sad about it, I wish to help and fix it.

"Very well, actually the choker he wears is where the second soul is," I said happily. "They won't fuse! He won't be consumed!"

"Really!?" asked Ruby wide-eyed, I nodded. Suddenly Nora and she jumped around squealing.

We arrived at last, happy music filling the air and people having fun. I could hear their relieved thoughts. The votes were projected on a wall, and it seemed that Robyn was winning.

"Ruby? Nora! Ren! Kori!" called Penny appearing in front of us excitedly. "I'm so glad you made it tonight!"

"Hey Penny!" said Ruby nervously.

"It is always better to celebrate with friends!" I said earning a nod from her.

"And the rest?" asked Panny curiously. I interviewed before another fight happened.

"They are going on dates!"

"Oh! That's wonderful!" said Penny happily. "I knew Bart would go with Oscar! But I'm glad everyone is having fun together!"

"Penny? Where did you go?" asked Marrow through a comm.

"Let us leave the lovebirds" I whispered, watching how Nora and Ren were lost in their own world. Penny laughed and Ruby nodded.

When we got there, the Faunus was standing with Altair. When they both looked at us I noticed how Marrow's wolf tail started to wag and Altair hid his chuckle with a cough.
