Theives

It is the end of my fifth year at signal academy. Ruby and I are "scouting" around the city looking for "bad guys" were in the dust shop together and I'm hanging in the back and Ruby is listening to music. Give me all your dust. Andy looks up when the man says that. Hey! Hey kid! Andy turns around. What? Give me your money! He says. Yeah nice try. I say. I turn back to the orange haired man and roll my eyes. I send a message to my contact quickly before putting my scroll in my pocket I look up and see that Ruby has caused the thug that came over to her to fly through the window. I turn to the store owner. Don't worry I've got help coming. Uh huh. He says. You ok? He nods. I grin and go out the door. So dramatic Ruby I murmur before going and standing over next to Ruby. Ohh! How appropriate little red has a wolf! He says. I take out my cane and spin it. Say that again. He dances around who's afraid of the big bad wolf the big bad wolf - who's afraid- he is cut off when I extend my cane and he shoots off a bullet and Ruby and I block his attacks and we stand back to back. Who do you work for? No one! He says just me! What's a guy like you need with so much dust? Well you see wolfy that's for my boss! He says. He looks up at the sky and I see an airship. Ruby! Got it! She says. We run to the top of the building. I look up and see a woman in red as the man gets onto the airship. Goodbye little red big bad wolf! He says. The woman attempts to shower us with glass and I block it with a shield and I send a glass attack of my own. I send my metal arm up and I grip my hand to snap a picture of them and another attack causes me to throw up another shield. I sigh as they get away and I prepare another attack as Ruby says ohh! You're like a real huntress. I spin around and I see my contact. I discharge my weapon. You two with me now! She says.  We're in a room together sitting in cold metal chairs. I cross my arms and sit back as she says you were reckless and you! She says turning on me you brought her into this! What? Ruby says. I didn't bring Ruby into anything she offered. And I didn't think it was a bad idea to have back up. Especially if it's her. Neither of you are huntresses she says. Remember that. You just act like one she says tiredly. Andy what is she talking about? Andy sighs. Remember when I ...lived with my brother Ruby? Yeah. Well I sort of well I did get information to a contact here. She's the contact. Ohh! Ruby says. It wasn't intentional Andy says. It's just the dust shop they decided to hit tonight. What one man needs with so much dust- well did you get anything out of him? He has a boss. Andy says my guess it is that woman we all saw. Glynda smiles. Did you happen to get a picture. Possibly. Ohhh! Ruby says. Andy flips her arm and touches the screen. She flips through and grins and projects the 3D image. Excellent work miss Torres. Andy looks up. Oh. Andy says. You...have silver eyes he says again. Both of you he says. yes.  Haven't we met before? Andy Torres and Ruby Rose he says. Andy flinches at the sound of her last name. What would you say if I allowed you to come to my school early?He  says both of us? Ruby says. Yes he says. Ohh! Yes! She says yes yes yes! Andy? Ruby says and she sees that Andy is just in shock. She shakes her head to clear it and she says yes I would like that very much. Andy smiles to herself. Weiss would be coming as well ...although her messages have been fewer and she hadn't gotten a letter that month...Ruby I believe your farther is outside waiting for you Glynda Goodwitch says. We'd like a word with Andy. Aww! Ruby  says. Glynda rolls her eyes. Don't
worry it's nothing I am not sure she would tell you later. Fine! She says leaving. Andy sighs. She stands up and they wait for her to speak like always. Do you have an idea of what is going on? Not exactly but its connected to that woman. Andy says. And Roman seems to be following orders ...also the dust collection I think it's a distraction. Ozpin and Glynda look at each other. What? Ozpin smiles a certain rusty Qrow thinks the same. I think eventually it's going to stop ...Andy sits down and says I'm missing something important. She closes her eyes. She smiles. She opens her eyes do either of you have a piece of paper and a pen? Just use this Ozpin says handing her his scroll and she uses her finger to draw a symbol. I remember that ...I think it wasn't a tattoo it was more like a magical marking Andy sighs. Something bigger is going on but the focus should be her not Roman. At the end of the day he's an idiot but not ...a killer Ozpin says. She nods. This is good Andy Glynda says there's one more thing. What's that? I've spoken to Senna. They both look at each other. Both her and the leader of Megerie have agreed to what I'm calling a "peace meeting" to discuss openly the issues of Faunus and human relation. Ozpin's eyes widen. Who did you invite? All of the headmasters along with four ambassadors from each school human and Faunus for each gender ...as well as the headmasters and a teacher. Wow...Glynda says...yes I haven't heard back from Haven or shade but I know the General is coming. Ozpin smiles it's set to happen the last night of the vytal festival. I just ...wanted to let you know. Who's leading it? And did you ask your brother to come? I would but I'm sure Adam already knows and is planning to ruin it. The General told me he would mediate and he would try to get the council to at least listen in. This is big Ozpin says. You have to understand a lot is riding on this. I know it is taking a lot for her to trust me on this. But she does? Ozpin says. Andy nods. I've convinced her my relationship with the General is strong enough and it helps that a ..human family took me in. Andy shrugs they are my family but Senna was like my second mother. Thank you Ozpin says. Now go I am sure Tai and miss Rose are worrying about you. School starts very soon he says. Andy nods. Ozpin steps forward. Worry not you will do well here he says. Now go and spend some time with your family.
