Your POV

We all noticed Qrow walking up the stairs and Ruby said sternly, "Where are you going now?" Qrow replied, "I don't want to get in the way of your celebration." She said, "You've been gone all day! Just sit with us." Qrow sighed and said, "Look, Ruby, I'm glad you kids worked out, uh, whatever all that was. But the fact is, we're not a single step closer to Atlas." Jaune spoke up and said, "Actually, I think I have an idea. But... it's sort of a 'no-going-back' kind of idea." Ruby replied, "Well, let's hear it." Jaune explained, "With Cordo on watch, only Atlas airships have the clearance to leave for Solitas. So... we... steal an Atlas airship." He nervously shrugged at his last statement. Everyone gained shocked looks on their faces. Adrian giggled in Maria's arm. Weiss was the first to reply, "That's not just breaking the law. That's... that's definitely worse." Yang asked, "How would we even get onto the airfield?" Jaune replied, "That part I haven't quite figured out yet. But I─"

Qrow interrupted him, saying, "Okay, stop. Just... stop! Look, if this thing goes south, it's not something we can just fight our way out of. This is the Atlas Military we're talking about." He sighed before adding, "For your sake, just drop this." Everyone looked down with discouraged looks on their faces. Ruby noticed this, turned back to Qrow with a determined look on her face, and said, "I want to hear him out." Qrow started, "Ruby..." She said, "I want to hear him out! I know you're trying to protect us, that you're afraid we can't do it, but right now, I don't really care what you think!" Qrow gains a shocked expression upon hearing this, while I just smirked. Ruby continued, "Just because you don't have an idea, doesn't mean we're out of options! Oz hasn't been here to tell us what to do, but we still managed to get this far anyway. We've been in bad situations before, and we don't need an adult to come save us or tell us what to do. We just did it our way! And I say we do it our way." Everyone smiled as Ruby said, And if you think you can keep up with us 'kids'... we'd be happy to have you." Qrow looked down sadly and didn't say anything. He looked back to Ruby while she looked back at him determined and I said, "She has a point, Qrow. Besides I think that I might have an idea for how to get onto the airfield."

3rd Person POV

Cordovin said, "Ah, I was relieved to hear that you came to your senses, Miss Schnee. Many of us were devastated when we heard you would be attending... Beacon Academy. Knowing that you'll be returning to Atlas just warms my old heart. And it's absolutely wonderful to hear that you and Mr. L/N are engaged. It's been awhile since I have seen you, Y/N." Pretending, Weiss said, "It was... time to get my act together and go back to my roots." Cordovin replied, "Oh, I can't wait to see you follow in your sister's footsteps." Weiss said, with an unenthusiastic smile, "Absolutely..." Cordovin added, "I'm sending two of my best guards to personally escort you. Make sure General Ironwood hears that part." Cordovin winked and walked away. The first Nubuck Guard said, "Allow me to assist you with your bag." He walked over to pick up Weiss' luggage and said, "My, what a heavy bag!" Keeping her grip on her luggage, Weiss said, "That's alright!" The first Nubuck Guard replied, "Nonsense!" Then the second Nubuck Guard said, "Allow me to assist as well!" Weiss replied, "I can take care of it by myself!"

As Cordovin walked away, she overheard Weiss and the Nubuck Guards conversation. She stopped in her tracks and gained a suspicious look on her face. Saphron noticed this and whispered to Adrian, "Just like we practiced." Adrian nodded at his mother. The baby then let out a loud wail that can be heard throughout the base. Adrian "cried" as he fussed in his mother's arms. Pretending, Saphron said, "Oh no! Look at that, he's just going to miss you so much! You should hurry on out of here!" The two guards hupped over to Adrian as they performed weird poses to amuse him. Cordovin continued walking with an unamused look on her face.

Your POV

While they are distracted, Weiss and I quickly got onto the airship with the luggage behind her and said, "That was close." I nodded and said, "Yeah. It was." Ruby said over earpiece, "Is everything okay?" From inside Weiss' luggage, Maria said, "Call me heavy... It's all muscle! I'll show them a thing or two about heavy!" I ignored her and said, "We're on board."

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter.
Master out.
