Enjoy! ONTO THE READ!









You slowly start to gain consciousness...


Nurse: Looks like he's waking up.


You slowly start to open your eyes... You were in a hospital room it looked like.


Ironwood: Young man... Can you hear me?

(y/n): ...L-loud and c-clear.

Ironwood: Thank goodness...


You try to sit up.


Ironwood: I wouldn't try to do that just yet.


Right when he said that, you felt a super sharp pain on your left shoulder... You then remember what happened... Everything.


(y/n): Damn...

Ironwood: Who was that... And who are you?

(y/n): ...My name is (y/n)... That was my father...


Ironwood's eyes went wide.


Ironwood: So he really was your father.

(y/n): What, you thought that argument was just an act?

Ironwood: It did seem a little cliché...

(y/n): Whatever...

Ironwood: Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you... So... Why were you arguing?

(y/n): Isn't it obvious?! The bastard left my mother and me... And let his goons almost kill her... And my friends back home...


Ironwood gave you a sincere look.


Ironwood: I am deepl-... Who's there?!


You look behind Ironwood as he turned around... You saw the same faunus girl that shouted your name... The same one that was getting picked on... The General sighed...


Ironwood: Neon?! You should be in class! What are you thinking?! I-

(y/n): General, relax.


The nurse and the student looked at you like you were the dumbest person on the planet trying to "calm down" the General.


Ironwood: Listen boy! I could've left you out in the snow to die! So don't tell me how to treat or teach my students.

(y/n): ...That's funny.

Ironwood: Excuse me!?

(y/n): Because I'm pretty sure I saved you AND all of your cadets!


The General got quiet real quick.


(y/n): The only reason she must be down her is to ask you something important, or else she wouldn't have left class... Their is no need to scold her for that...

Neon: ...I actually came to see how you were doing.


You and the General were dumbfounded.


Ironwood: You came down here to check on him?

(y/n): You came down here to check on me?

Neon: Y-yeah... Sorry if it's a bad time sir... It's just-

Ironwood: I understand... You Faunus gotta stick together... The ones that aren't members of the Fang that is.

(y/n): Yeah...

Ironwood: Even if you are... Cat and Dog.

(y/n): Well... I think humans have put all Faunus in such a small corner... We don't have time to have predator vs prey...Cat vs Mouse... Dog vs Cat... Because we're all trying to survive what the humans do to some of us...

Ironwood: ...Unfortunately, you're right... I'm not a human who discriminates... But, their are plenty that do.

(y/n): Yeah...

Ironwood: ...I'll give you a moment to introduce yourselves.

(y/n): Wait, what?

Ironwood: Kid, you're not going anywhere for a while.

(y/n): WHAT?!

Ironwood: With the beating you got from your father, your entire left side of your upper body is severely injured...

(y/n): Thanks for reminding me...

Ironwood: I'm just saying... If you're going to be here... You might as well make a friend.

(y/n): ...Yeah... Thank you General.

Ironwood: Not a problem kid... I have a few more things I want to talk to you about later... I'll be back in an hour or so.

(y/n): Ok.


The General and the nurse left... Neon kinda shuffled in the room.


Neon: ...I'm Neon.

(y/n): Hm... Interesting.

Neon: What makes you say that!? What's you're name?! I bet it's gross!

(y/n): Sorry, I meant it in no disrespect... I think it's a beautiful name.


She slightly blushed.


Neon: Oh...Uh, thanks...

(y/n): I just thought it was interesting since you're wearing such a bland uniform... Although, I guess that isn't by choice.

Neon: You have no idea.


You both chuckled a little... You were still pretty upset about your dad...


Neon: I'm... Sorry about your father...

(y/n): Yeah, well... It happens I guess...

Neon: So... What is your name?

(y/n): Oh geez, I'm sorry... I'm (y/n).

Neon: (y/n)... That's a nice name too.

(y/n): Thanks... Unfortunately, my father named me so...

Neon: Well... Either way, I like it.

(y/n): Thanks Neon.


Another kid walked in.


Flynt: Yo Neon, what are you doing?

Neon: Just checking on him.


Flynt looked at you.


Flynt: You alright?

(y/n): I'm good.


He came over for a handshake.


Flynt: Flynt, Flynt Coal

(y/n): (y/n).

Flynt: Thanks for that save earlier today... None of us were allowed to bring our weapons... General's orders.

(y/n): It's alright, I was hunting the bastard anyway.


Flynt then looked at his watch.


Flynt: Shit! Neon, we gotta get back to class!

Neon: O-oh! Right!


Flynt booked it out... Neon almost... Until she got to the door.


Neon: Hope to see you up and moving soon.


Then, she ran off.


(y/n): Huh... They didn't seem too bad.


You laid in your hospital bed for a few minutes... You drifted off to sleep...



TIMESKIP A FEW HOURS.


You slowly start to open your eyes.


Ironwood: It's about time.

(y/n): Oh, I'm sorry, did my nap interrupt your interrogation?


He laughed.


Ironwood: You're kind of a smart ass.

(y/n): No shit.

Ironwood: Ok, seriously... I do need to ask a few things.

(y/n): Shoot.

Ironwood: ...Where in the hell did you learn to fight like that?!

(y/n): Uh, Signal Academy, In Vale.

Ironwood: Vale?! YOU'RE FROM VALE?!

(y/n): Uh, yeah.

Ironwood: You're on the other side of Remnant!

(y/n): Uh, yeah, I know that.


He gave you a confused look.


Ironwood: What were you doing out here then?

(y/n): Trying to find that bastard... Did you not hear the argument? It was right in front of you.

Ironwood: I know, I know, sorry... Anyway... So you know Qrow.

(y/n): And Tai... But they were Professor Xiao Long and Professor Branwren to me in the classroom... Qrow and Tai outside the classroom.

Ironwood: You knew them on a first name basis? You're a kid.

(y/n): I'm the same age as his oldest daughter, Yang.

Ironwood: Oh... So she's your girlfriend?

(y/n): HA! No way... Not me... Yang is a little much for me... Even if... Tai is a little uptight when it comes to raising Yang and Ruby... Ruby is his other daughter.

Ironwood: Oh, I know.

(y/n): They why bother asking?

Ironwood: I didn't know you knew them though... Anyway... So why are you on a first name basis with them?

(y/n): Yang is one of my best friends... I know Ruby pretty well too... Do you want to know what color socks I'm wearing too?


He laughed... But got serious quick.


Ironwood: Look, I understand you're a smart ass because it's in your personality... But If you haven't noticed, you're at Atlas Military Academy right now.

(y/n): ...And? I'm not a cadet or anything.

Ironwood: You might as well be.

(y/n): Excuse me?

Ironwood: If you graduated from Signal, why didn't you continue and attend Beacon Academy right in Vale?

(y/n): ...That was the plan.

Ironwood: So then-

(y/n): Look... Some White Fang goons burned my apartment down the night I found out my dad was a Fang member... My mother and 3 of my friends almost died that night... If that happened to you, would you continue on with your life like nothing happened... Or go find answers...

Ironwood: ...I guess you're right... I'm sorry... I really am...

(y/n): ...It's whatever... Something was gonna happen eventually...

Ironwood: I have one more question...

(y/n): Shoot.

Ironwood: ...How come your dad was able to strike you down so quick? Shouldn't your aura have protected you?

(y/n): That's a great question... To be honest... I had no idea I was part werewolf... And I had no idea he could do something like that... For all I know he was that powerful to deplete my aura in seconds... Or... My aura could've easy been drained from the past few months.

Ironwood: What do you mean?!

(y/n): I've been on the hunt... Haven't slept well... Sleeping on the streets sometimes... And maybe eating once a day... For 6 months... I honestly might've been so tired, I didn't have any aura left...

Ironwood: Makes sense... Well, you'll have to stay here for at least a few days... Then we can put you in a small room for a little till you have your full strength back.

(y/n): ...Why?

Ironwood: Why what?

(y/n): Why are you doing this for me? I'm not a cadet here.

Ironwood: ...Let's just say I owe you.


You looked a little confused.


Ironwood: This is my way of saying thanks for saving my life... And my cadets lives... So... Thank you.

(y/n): No problem General.


The General walked out, and you spent the rest of that evening... Laying in your hospital bed... Thinking about what to do when you're healed...




TIMESKIP.



Over the course of the next few days, you were in that damn hospital bed... You hated it... You wanted to get up, and just run... But, moving your shoulder, and even trying to turn to the left side of your body hurt like hell... On the day you got out, you almost ran out of the hospital wing... Ironwood made sure you could walk before showing you your room.


Ironwood: I got you the closest one I could to the ground floor... So you don't have to do a lot of walking.

(y/n): Thanks...


You got to your room... It was a little small... But you didn't have anything but your weapons... Wait... WHERE ARE YOUR WEAPONS?!


(y/n): Hey... Um... Please tell me you guys picked up my weapons.

Ironwood: Um... We picked up what was left of them.

(y/n): Oh... Right... I forgot... The bastard slashed them to oblivion...

Ironwood: Sorry... I was able to recover this.


It was one magazine from your pistol... And the crystal you had at the end of your whip.


(y/n): ...Thanks... Guess I'll have to make a new one.

Ironwood: Well, we have a great materials shop right by the gate...

(y/n): Thanks, I'll check it out.

Ironwood: Well... Here is your key... If you need anything, let me know.

(y/n): Thank you General.


He walked away... And you looked at your room.


(y/n): First, I should probably take a shower...


You looked around for the shower room... You found it, took out your only spare change of clothes that you bought before leaving Haven... You took a fast shower, and changed... It was a (f/c) tank top, which was showing off your entirely bandaged left arm, and it went all the way up to your shoulder... Then, you had blue jeans, and (f/c) shoes... Thought, the shoes won't help much trying to trek though snow... Anyway, you then put your jacket on, and walked around the campus for a little... As you were open your door, someone went to knock, and you almost knocked them on the ground... Until you caught her with your right arm.


Neon: Woah!-... Oh, thanks for the save.

(y/n): Don't mention it...


You helped her regain her balance.


(y/n): Sorry for opening the door on you, I was heading out.

Neon: It's alright... I asked the General where your room was.

(y/n): And why did you do that?

Neon: Cause I want to get to know you! Why else?

(y/n): Uh, cause you like annoying injured people?


She chuckled.


Neon: Yeah yeah, sureeeeee... Anyway, if you're up for it... A lot of us students head out to the nearest village at the end of the week and P.A.R.T.Y!

(y/n): You don't seem like a party kinda girl.

Neon: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! THAT'S ALL I WANNA DO! Besides, it's probably cause I'm still in uniform.

(y/n): I guess...Either way...You really think I want to party at a time like this?

Neon: Well... I dunno, maybe just something to get your mind off of-

(y/n): I'm sorry, but that's all my mind is ever on... I'll pass.


You walked away from her, and walked out the dorm hall...



TIMESKIP A FEW HOURS



You walked around the campus for the rest of the night... walking felt weird... But you felt you were getting back into the hang of it with every step... It was late, so you decide to head back to your dorm, and call it a night... But... You find a note under your door.


"We gotta talk"
