In a bar in the lower layer of of Mistral...

Cinder: Do you have my information?

"The Spider": Of course I do darling. Lil' Miss always deliver. Although, I can't promise you'll be pleased. Word is they were seen boarding the Argus Limited a few weeks back. While that isn't exactly far from here, Argus is rarely a destination for folks. Chances are they'll be going straight to--

Cinder: Atlas

She begin to leave

"You know, you turned out to be quite the interesting customer... Cinder"

She stops at the mention of her name

"It's not often a single client brings me triple the business, someone let a message for you"

"What?"

"He said he was sad he didn't get to dance with you"

Cinder though: y/n?! Impossible! How could he know I'm alive, and that I'll come here?! He should be with them...

Cinder: Who?

"He paid me enough to not give his identity, but you'd be surprised *chuckle* Anyway, I said triple... the business"

On the road to Argus

Maria explains you her story

Maria: But I wasn't... I went into hiding soon after...

Qrow: I can't believe it. You... You're the Grimm Reaper. You were a legend. Then you disappeared

Oscar: How exactly does a legend just disappear?

Legends never die, as they become a part of you

Qrow: You never showed your face. Never used your name. Lots of us thought you were just laying low. Eventually we came to accept you were probably dead. But the stories about you, I based my weapon off of yours. I wanted to be as good as the Grimm Reaper

Maria: Well I'm nothing but a disappointment, so you're well on your way

Blake: How can you say that?

"Child, a Huntress is supposed to protect others to the bitter end. But after I lost my eyes, I only ever looked after myself. Even after my surgery I was too afraid to fight. Afraid someone would find me again. Finish what the others started. You shouldn't aspire to be like me. Especially when some of you are clearly stronger already. It's... comforting seeing that your generation seems up to the task of inherenting this world. I'm just sorry I didn't do more to leave it in better shape

Ruby: Well, maybe you can do something now. Teach me to use my powers the way you did

Maria looks at her and--

*scroll chiming*

Ruby: *gasp* It's Jaune!

Yang stop the bike

Weiss: How?

Ruby: H-Hello?

Jaune, over the scroll: Ruby?! Oho, thank you! I've been checking my scroll for your signal since we made it to the city
