"And you're sure?" The screen shows Yang talking with Ruby after her interview. "Yes, Yang I'm sure it was Uncle Qrow," Ruby replied, "No one else has the costume or anything that Uncle Qrow has." Yang rubbed her chin and hummed in thought.

"So Yang and me know about Qrow being the Batman?" Ruby offscreen asked the Boy. G-Fan nodded. "During Qrow's first year as Batman, Raven was married to Taiyang Xiao Long," he said, "Both Raven and Tai grew suspicious of Qrow with him returning  home with a few injuries once in a while. Ah, you know what, I'll show you in a different viewing."

The scene cuts to Ozpin's Commissioner office. The robber with the crippled leg places his casted leg on Ozpin's desk as his lawyer said, "My client hasn't been charged with anything and with good reason." Ozpin however seemed to be focusing on looking for something. "Where'd I put that stuff?" he muttered. 

As Ozpin dug through his drawers, the lawyer went on with his babbling. "Your guys didn't find any stolen money on him, and you have no witnesses connecting him to the robbery. And to say he suffered brutality is an understatement. Batman shattered his femur!"

"Shattered his femur?!" Most of the students along with Whitley, Willow, Klein, Ilia, Ghira and Kali, Roman shouted while held up a sign that said, That is the highest form of Brutality.

The adults and the villians weren't affected by this. Raven and Vernal, because they've done the same. Summer and Tai, the same as Raven though not as much. Ozpin's Inner Circle because they had him do worse than that. Salem's Grimm Circle, because their middlemen have been on the receiving end. Winter because she had couple of situations with some Atlas soldiers six years prior to the Fall of Beacon. (1)

"What did the lawyer mean by the robber not having charges pressed?" Ironwood asked. "Oh well, with none of the stolen money found, the robber is seen as a victim of assault." G-Fan replied. "And the lawyer is on pay with most of the criminals." Some adults shook their heads in disappointment at the information.

"It's like it's got a mind of it's own." Ozpin said patting his pockets, "Oh, there it is," he exclaimed, pulling a pack of gum out of his breast pocket. The lawyer continued as Ozpin ate a piece of gum. "I insist you drop this entire matter immediately. My client is the victim here."

"Done," Ozpin replied before turning to Neon Katt. "Katt draw up release papers for the 'victim' here."

Neon-Sir?

"Whoa, wait a second," the lawyer protested, he gestured to the crippled robber. "My client also has to be ensured of protection" Ozpin didn't seemed to be fazed and said, "You heard me Katt," As Neon left, he held his pack of gum. "Gum?" he asked. Both the lawyer and the robber stayed silent. They clearly didn't expect this.

"Why are you letting him walk Ozpin?" Dr. Oobleck asked. "Well, he can't be much of a threat with a shattered femur," Port replied. "I believe a certain Dark Knight will lend a hand with getting information from him," Ozpin said, taking a sip from his mug. Most stared at him with confused looks before the Boy gestured to look back at the screen.

The screen shows Qrow laying on a table as Vernal massaged his back. Raven was shown massaging him as well, though she looked like she didn't want to do it. "If it's suicide you're after," Vernal deadpanned, "I have a family recipe. It's slow, painful, you'd like it."

Raven-Mind sharing that recipe, Vernal? I might need it sometime in the future for my idiotic brother here.

The phone suddenly rang and Vernal went to pick it up. "Branwen Infirmary," she said, "One moment," she replied to the caller before holding it out to Qrow. "It's Commissioner Ozpin, no doubt calling for details on the funeral."
