An Assassin's Rose: Remnant

Chapter 4: The Opportunity of a Lifetime

Ruby looks down in shame as Glynda scolds her and Damian while in a room in the police department.

Damian on the other hand just looked annoyed as he looked away from the huntress with a scowl on his face and his arms crossed.

But can blame him? After everything they did, this is the praise they get for stopping a attempted robbery?! Why he has never met such ungrateful people in his entire life.

The Huntress paces around them as she looks down at the scroll tablet in her heads.

"I hope that you realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly, you two put yourself and others in great danger." Glynda stated.

"They started it!" Ruby exclaimed.

"Exactly! We were only protecting ourselves and Albert. Show a little appreciation" Damian declared arrogantly.

Glynda rolled her eyes and sighed as she walks in front of them and said, "If it were up to me, you'd be sent home... With a pat on the back..."

Ruby smiled happily at that, but that smile was soon gone from her face when Glynda brought out her riding crop. "And a slap on the wrist." She stated and demonstrates with her riding crop by slamming it down on the table, which Ruby barely avoids as she gives out an "Eeek!"

Damian growls in anger as he stands up nearly knocking his chair over and slams his fist onto the table, "I like to see you try!" he hissed challengingly.

He then gives her a deadly bat glare, "And I promise you, if you even lay a hand on my Zahra, I will kill you and then hide your body at the bottom of the ocean!" he threatened.

"Damian!" Ruby exclaimed and elbows him in the ribs.

The ex-assassin grunts as he sits back down in his seat and grabs his side.

Glynda looks at Damian with a scowl at his disrespect but chose to let it pass...this time. "But...there is someone here who would like to meet you." She proclaimed.

Damian and Ruby looked at each other in confusion and could only sit there as a white-haired man in a suit walked in with a plate of cookies and a coffee mug.

"Ruby Rose...and Damian Wayne." The man proclaimed and leans forward to look at the teens right in their face.

Which made them pull their head back at how close he was to them, has this guy ever heard about personal space?

But it was painfully obvious that most of his attention was on Ruby, who he was looking at intensively, "You...have silver eyes." He stated.

Which only confused the teens on how the young huntress having silver eyes have to do with anything?

And before they could even form a complete sentence the man stands straight up. "So...where did you learn to do this?" he asked and gestures to the tablet that Glynda is holding which shows a video of their fight against Roman and his henchmen.

"S-Signal Academy." Ruby stuttered.

"They taught you to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?" the man questioned.

"Well, one teacher in particular." Ruby clarified.

Damian scoffed at the mention of Qrow, "I'm surprised that Signal even employed him." He muttered under his breath.

But everyone heard him, and Ruby retaliated by stopping on his foot hard.

Which made the boy wonder hiss in pain and decide to keep his mouth shut.

"I see." The man said as he places the plate of cookies on the table.

Ruby looks at the cookies in suspicion for a moment before she tentatively picks one up, eats it in a single bite, and then, after not seeing any rebuttal or tasting anything weird, the huntress begins to literally shovel the rest into her mouth.
