The screen lit up to show a desolate landscape. A desert that had snowy mountains off in the distance. Wind was heard by the Audience before they see a line of armored vehicles that were racing across the sand. Suddenly, the Audience hear music blasting through some unseen speakers. An army jeep crawled along the dirt trail as the song AC/DC's Black n' Black played from a radio. The location was revealed to be Vacuo.


Yang, Tai, Neon and Nora nodded their heads and tapped their feet along with the music.


"So this is what most people listen to?" Whitley asked rubbing his ear. "A bit loud."


The Audience then see the inside of a jeep along with a silver boom box at the feet of some soldiers. One of them was seen smirking before a hand was shown holding a glass of scotch. One of the young soldiers looked to the man that sat across from him which was revealed to be Qrow Branwen who was dressed in a black suit and stylish sunglasses. He looked to one of the young soldiers who quickly looked away. "I feel like you're driving me to a court-martial." He said suddenly. "This is crazy. What did I do?" He asked. He was only met with silence. "I feel like you guys are going to pull over and snuff me." He stated. "What, you're not allowed to talk?" He turned to one of the soldiers and said, "Hey, Forrest!"


"Disrespect to the soldiers aside," Harriet said, "he does have a point, what is he doing with those soldiers?" she asked their host. "Just wait and it will be revealed," G-Fan replied.


"I wouldn't say he's disrespecting the soldiers," Winter said. "More like he's trying to have a conversation." Some people (mainly those from Atlas.) turned to her. She shrugged and feigned a annoyed look. "He has done the same to me multiple times," she said.


"We can talk sir," A soldier behind Qrow onscreen said. "Oh, I see." he responded. "So it's personal?"


"No, you intimidate them." A female soldier said driving the vehicle. "Good Oum, you're a woman!" Qrow exclaimed in surprise. "I honestly...I couldn't have called that." He stammered. "I mean, I'd apologize, but isn't that what we're going for here?" He asked. "I thought of you as a soldier first."


The young woman chuckled lightly. "I'm an airman," she explained.


"You have, actually, excellent bone structure there." He said. "I'm kind of having an hard time not looking at you now. Is that weird?" At that, the soldiers began to laugh and chuckle. "Come on, it's okay," Qrow encouraged. "Laugh."


"Those soldiers are on duty Qrow," Ironwood snapped. "Be serious!"


"What, is it against the law to have a few laughs?" Ruby asked. Ironwood stopped and sighed and rubbed his eyes. "Sir, you do know he can't hear you right?" Marrow asked the General.


"Speaking from experience, all work and no play is not a good thing," Blake said with a shudder.


While she knew Qrow was joking around, Winter felt a pang of jealousy as she stared at the screen.


"Sir, I have a question to ask." The soldier asked from shotgun. "Yes, please," Qrow permitted with a nod. "Is it true went 12 for 12 with last year's Maxim cover models?" he asked.


Qrow-That is an excellent question.  Yes and no. March and I had a scheduling conflict, but fortunately, the Christmas cover was twins. Anything else?


"Oh, wow..." Blake said, she along with the other women were blushing a bit. The only ones who weren't affected were Raven and Salem. The men blinked in shock.


"What does that mean?" Whitley asked. Apparently the only innocent one in the Theater. 


"You don't need to know Whitley," Weiss said with a blush. "Drop it immediately," Winter ordered with a glare at the screen. "I'll tell you when you're older," Willow said stroking his hair.


On the screen, a soldier named Jimmy, raised his hand. "You're kidding with the hand up, right?" asked Qrow. "Is it cool if I took a picture with you?" Jimmy asked putting his hand down. Qrow complied. "Yes, it's very cool." Jimmy pulled his scroll out and handed it to the soldier up front. "I don't want to see this on your MugNovel page," Qrow warned him.


Jimmy put up a peace sign. "Please no gang signs," Qrow told him with a frown, causing Jimmy to put the gang sign down for a while before Qrow said, "No, throw it up. I'm kidding." They both smiled. "Yeah, peace." Qrow said. "I love peace. I'd be out of a job with peace." He joked.


Many frowned at the joke. The good side and the most of the neutral side anyway. "That joke is more terrible than Dad and Yang's jokes Uncle Qrow!" Ruby snapped.


"Hey!" Both Yang and Tai said.


"He sounds like Jacques Schnee," Sienna said getting a nod from Adam.


Onscreen, Jimmy was encouraging the other soldier to take the picture already before out of the blue, something hit and blew up the vehicle in front of them. Soon gunshots and more explosions were heard and bullets were hitting the side of their vehicle. 


Most jumped at the explosion and the gunshots. "What's happening?" Summer asked.


"They must be under attacked!" Winter said worriedly.


"What's going on?" Qrow asked. "Contact left!" shouted the airmen. Qrow asked another question. "What have we got?" 


The driver got out into combat with her gun but the Audience see her shot down. The soldier who took the picture turned to Jimmy and ordered, "Jimmy, stay with Branwen!" He then jumped out to fight an unseen enemy but was shot down quickly and bullets hit the windshield.


"Stay down!" Jimmy instructed as he was seen pushing Qrow down who agreed fearfully. "Yeah." The second soldier from the front got to shoot but was also shot down. "Son of a bitch!" Jimmy shouted as he got out to fight.


"No! You were ordered to stay and protect him!" Winter snapped, worry and anger was shown on her face.


Most of everyone else were too shocked at how the soldiers were dropping as flies.


"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!" Qrow shouted. "Give me a gun!"


"Stay here!" Jimmy said from outside as he turned, only to be gunned down as well. Bullet holes pierced the vehicle. Qrow looked around before he got out of the car. He looked around and stumbled around in the chaos as he and the Audience see more bodies drop to the ground.


He then stumbled behind a rock for cover. He then pulled out his phone before a bomb landed next to him. He and the Audience saw that it said, Branwen Industries. This shocked both him and the Audience.


He tried to get up but the bomb exploded and made him fly through the air. He hit the ground and his senses dulled as he slowly felt pain in his chest. The Audience see blood pooling in his shirt. He pulled his shirt open to show a bullet proof vest that was torn by the shrapnel. Qrow then passes out as the screen goes white.


The scene changed to show Qrow sitting on a chair surrounded by men and Faunus with guns that were shouting in a native language of Vacuo.




IRON MAN




"I'd make a pun but all of that shocked me," Yang said lowly. Tai nodded in agreement. "You'll get used to it." G-Fan said. "Now we're go back a day before this happened and you'll learn who Qrow is in this universe."


"Qrow Branwen," A narrator says as the Audience now see a large stage with two large screens on the side of the podium. 


Atlas, 36 hours earlier.


Narrator-Visionary. Genius. Atlassian patriot. (Raven-That's a first. Ruby-Which part? Raven-The last part mainly.) Even from an early age, the son of legendary weapons developer Corvus Branwen quickly stole the spotlight with his brilliant and unique mind.


As the narrator continued to speak, several pictures of Qrow throughout his life was shown to the Audiences on and offscreen.


"At age four, he built his first circuit board," he said. "At age six, his first engine. And at 17, he graduated summa cum laude from MIT."


"His sister, Raven proved to be gifted in the art of combat." Photos of Raven were shown, wearing white clothes, fighting in Mistralian martial arts and fencing. "A seven time champion in karate and fencing."


"Wow, building an engine at 6 years old?" Elm said with a raised eyebrow. "And graduating college at seventeen? Man this guy's smart."


"Not exactly a nerd in our world but I'm sure if his Semblance wasn't always active and passive, he would have had a B in science," Summer said. "Or a C at least."


"What else did his Semblance mess up?" Clover asked.


Raven and the other members of Team STRQ were silent before the latter looked to Raven, waiting to see what she'll say. "Quite a lot," was all she said.


Trying to change the subject, Summer pointed to the screen, "Hey look, Raven's here too." she said. Said girl turns to the Boy, "So that's how it was? I'm basically a jock and my brother's a brainiac?" she asked.


"Well, you are a brainiac yourself in here," G-Fan said. "You just didn't show it much."


The narrator continued. "Then, the passing of a titan." A headline of a newspaper was shown saying that Qrow's parents died in a car crash. "Corvus Branwen's lifelong friend and ally, Shay Mann, stepped in to help fill the gap left by the legendary founder." A few images of Shay with a beard was shown including where he looked down at the world of Remnant on a magazine cover.


"I don't like the way he's down at the world," Blake said.


"Yeah, he gives off Jacques Schnee vibes," Ilia said with a subtle glare.


"Until, at ages 21, the twins returned and after many arguments, both twins became the CEO's of Branwen Industries." The narrator says. "With the keys to the kingdom, the twins usher in a new era for their father's legacy, creating smarter weapons, advanced robots, satellite targeting. Today, Qrow and Raven Branwen have changed the face of weapons industry by ensuring freedom and protecting Atlas and her interests around the globe."


"So that's why the soldiers were intimidated by Qrow earlier," Weiss said. "He's the weapon factor."


Yang-Is that why those men and Faunus kidnapped him in Vacuo? 


Coco-They probably want him to build weapons for him then.


Colonel Marrow Amin was shown standing at the podium, holding two rewards for Raven and Qrow. "As liaison to Branwen Industries, I've had the unique privilege of serving with real patriots. They are my friends like a brother and sister, and they are my great mentors. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to present these rewards to the Branwen twins Raven and Qrow!" He announced getting another round of applause as Raven stepped on the stage with Marrow joining in.


One little problem...


...


...


....Qrow was nowhere to be seen.


"Qrow?" Marrow asked as he and Raven looked around. Raven's expression began to turn into one of annoyance while Marrow looked desperate. But the twin still didn't appear.


After a few more minutes of awkward silence, Shay came on stage. "Thank you, Colonel," He said shaking his hand and Raven's as he took the reward. "Thanks for the save," Marrow said gratefully as he stepped off the stage.


"This is beautiful. Thank you. Thank you all very much. This is wonderful." Shay said to the audience as he looked to the award in his hand.


"But it's not yours!" Ruby snapped. Yang shrugged, "Maybe he'll give it to Uncle Qrow."


"You don't sound convinced," Blake said. 


Yang-I met the guy once in our world and he tried to make a move on me.


Raven-Besides someone had to take the reward.


"Well I'm not Qrow Branwen," Shay stated onscreen, causing the audience to chuckle. "But if I were Qrow, I would tell you how honored I feel and what a joy it is to receive this very prestigious award." Raven was shown looking for her brother before she seemed to given up. "Qrow, you know...The best thing about Qrow is also the worst thing. He's always working." Shay said before he turned to Raven with a grin. "Isn't that right Raven?"


"Yes, my brother can be quite the workaholic," Raven said with gritted teeth as her eye twitched in anger. This caused Shay and the audience to laugh and the former patted her back.


"I suppose that is admirable," Glynda said. Ozpin shook his head. "Based on Other Raven's face, I think that working is not what Qrow's counterpart is doing," the headmaster said.


"I sense a twist!" Nora exclaimed.


The scene changed to show dice rolling by Qrow, who was gambling at a Craps table, surrounded by three attractive women. "Work it!" He cheered as he turned to the crowd behind. A girl tried to drag him away but he refused. "Come on!" he whined. "We should stay here til morning!"


Marrow and Raven suddenly appeared next to them and broke them apart. Both glaring at Qrow. "You are unbelievable." Marrow said.


"It is so hard not to slap your face and cause a scene," Raven growled out. "Oh no! You poor thing," Qrow said to Raven before he turned to Marrow. "Did they rope you into this?" He asked. "Nobody roped me into anything!" The Dog Faunus snapped with his tail wagging in anger.


"I'm so sorry," Qrow apologized. Raven continued to glare. "Really, I am." He said to her angry face.


Marrow-But they told me that if I presented you two with awards, you'd both be deeply honored.


Qrow-Of course I'd be deeply honored. And it's you, that's great. So when do we do it?


Raven-Thirty minutes ago.


Marrow pulled the award out. "It's right here," he said exasperated. Qrow turned to someone offscreen. "Uh, yeah. One more round." He requested. Raven however pushed the drinks away from Qrow. "He's had more than enough." She growled out and the waiter walked away, frightened. Marrow hands out the award and says, "Here you go." 


Qrow takes the award. "There it is," he says. He turns to Raven, "That was easy." Raven shakes her head. He turns to Marrow. "I'm so sorry," he apologizes again. The Dog Faunus clearly dismisses it and says, "Yeah it's okay."


Qrow turns to Raven. "Wow! Would you look at that, Rae?" He said excitedly. "That's something else." Then his tone becomes sarcastic. "I don't think we have any of those floating around." He then hands the award to a girl standing next to him.


"So they have more of those?" Weiss asked. "I'm getting the feeling that he missed the ceremony for them as well." Whitley stated.


"We're gonna let it ride!" Qrow onscreen stated as he scooped up the dice and held them up to the girl that held the award. "Give me a hand, will you?" he asks. "Give me a little something-something." She blew on the dice as she gave a seductive look. He turns to his sister and Marrow. "Okay now you guys too." They both shook their heads.


Raven-I'm gonna have to say no to that, Qrow.


Marrow-I don't blow on a man's dice.


Qrow-Come on sister, help a brother out.


Raven-No.


Qrow holds the dice in front of Marrow. "Come on, honey bear," he insisted but he knocks them out of his hand. "There it is." Qrow said dramatically. "Lieutenant Colonel Amin rolls! And..."


Both of the dice come up to one. "Two craps. Line away."


Raven shrugged indifferent. "That's what happens," Marrow said with a shrug. 


Qrow-Worse things have happened. I think we're gonna be fine. Color me up, William.


Both Branwens and the colonel walk out of the casino, followed by several guards. "This is where Vernal's gonna pick us up," Raven said. "This is where I exit," Qrow added.


Marrow nodded goodbye. "All right. Tomorrow, don't be late," He told the male twin. He nodded dismissively. "Yeah, you can count on it," Qrow assured him.


"I'm serious!" Marrow warned him.


Qrow-I know, I know.


Raven-Don't worry Mar, I'll make sure he goes.


Qrow walk passes a man in a toga. "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's," he said as he gave him the award. "There you go." Raven walks by and grabs it back.


"Seriously Qrow?!" Both Ravens said in exasperation. 


"Well he did say that you guys have tons of them." Ilia said with a shrug.


Melanie-Unless they have labels, 


Militia-I don't think they'll miss that one.


Onscreen, Qrow, Raven and their guards walked to a limo and a attractive blonde woman rushed to them. "Mr. Branwen! Excuse me, Mr. Branwen!" She called out, being stopped by the guards. "Christine Everhart," she said. "Vanity Fair magazine. Can I ask you a couple of questions?"


Qrow turned to his bodyguard, Vernal and said, "She's cute." The  woman grumbled as Raven sighed in annoyance. "I'll be visiting Yang then," the female twin said as she got in the limo.


"So Yang's here?" Tai asked. "Yes, but sadly your counterpart isn't the father." G-Fan replied. "Raven was once a playgirl and had Yang." Raven and the other members were silent for a moment along with Yang and Ruby. "After Yang, she did stop being a playgirl."


Ruby-What about Dad?


G-Fan: Don't worry. I have other plans for Tai here. For now just watch the viewing.


Qrow-Hi.


Christine-Hi.


Qrow-Yeah, okay go.


"You've been called the da Vinci of our time same for your sister," she stated. "What do you say to that?"


"I don't know about Rae but I find it absolutely ridiculous." Qrow said, getting some frowns from the Audience. (Especially Ozpin who was incarnated as Da Vinci and Salem who loved the art.) "I don't paint."


"Being compared to someone like that is still an honor Qrow!" Glynda snapped. "It is indeed not a joke!" Dr. Oobleck added.


"And what do you say to your other nickname? 'The Twin Merchants of Death?'" Christine asked again to which Qrow accepted with a shrug. "It's not bad." he said.


Robyn-Sounds like Ironwood's nickname.


Weiss-Maybe my father as well sadly.


Ironwood glared at Robyn but chose not to say anything.


"And perhaps me as well with all the mistakes I made." Ozpin said solemnly.


Raven looked down, "It fits me perfectly." She said to which Summer and Tai patted her shoulders on each side as well as Vernal.


Qrow-Let me guess. Berkeley?


Christine-Brown, actually.


"Well, Ms. Brown, it's an imperfect world, but it's the only one we've got." Qrow claimed. "I guarantee you, the day weapons are no longer needed to keep the peace, Rae and I'll start making bricks and beams for baby hospitals."


"Rehearse that much?" Christine questioned. "Every night in front of the mirror with my sister recording it before bedtime." He confirmed.


Christine-I can see that.


Qrow-I'd like to show you first hand.


There was the sound of glass breaking and the Audience turned to see that Winter had crushed her glass cup as she glared at the screen. 


Quite a few scooted away from her while Willow looked between the man onscreen and her eldest daughter and the members of Team STRQ stared her surprised and the Ozzulamanti looked to her confused.


"All I want is a serious answer," Christine told Qrow. "Okay, here's serious," he replied. "My old man had a philosophy, 'Peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy.'" Qrow replied. "That's a great line coming from the other guy selling the sticks," the reporter criticized. (Robyn-Sounds like Ironwood here.)


Qrow-My father helped defeat the Mistral Nazis. He worked on the Manhattan Project. A lot of people, including your professors at Brown, would call that being a hero.


Christine-And a lot of people would also call that war profiteering.


"Tell me," Qrow said back. "do you plan to report on the millions we've saved by advancing medical technology or kept from starvation in Mantle with our intelli-crops? All those breakthroughs, military funding, honey." (Yang-Ladies enough! Tai-You're both pretty!)


Christine rose her eyebrows. "Wow," she said. "You ever lose an hour of sleep your whole life?"


"I'd be prepared to lose a few with you," Qrow proposed.


Risque music began to play began to play as the scene changed to show Qrow being thrown onto a bed and Christine getting on top of him, her jacket and pants gone, both smothering each other with kisses.


The two made sensual noises as they got tangled together before Qrow rolled to be on top, however the action caused them fall of the bed. Qrow was heard laughing.


Winter suddenly threw her sword into the screen and it ended up imbedded in the screen, cracking it and making it go static. 


Willow covered Whitley's eyes as soon as the scene changed. But stared at Winter along with Weiss and practically everyone else. 


Zwei whimpered and hid inside Yang's hair.


The Atlas Specialist got up and got in front of G-Fan who was sweating. "Can I go some place where I can be alone?" she growled out. The Boy pointed to a door and she stomped off.


...


...


...


Everyone was silent as they all heard her screaming in rage, followed by the sound of her breaking somethings in the room. 




Good thing this isn't Bill or KyleAlingus's theater, the Boy thought as  he pulled the sword out and fixed the screen before he turned to the Audience. "Let's continue without her." He said and resumed the viewing.


The next morning, Christine was alone in bed, being covered by the blanket. Suddenly a automated voice stated, "Good morning. It's 7:00 a.m." Lights came on. "The weather in Malibu is 72 degrees with scattered clouds," the voice continued. "The surf conditions are fair with waist-to-shoulder high lines. High tide will be at 10:52 a.m." The black wall brightens, showing the Audience that the wall was automated blinds of a balcony with an ocean view.


After showing a view of the house, Christine was seen walking in a purple robe. "Qrow?" She called out. "Hey, Qrow?" She then sees a panel on the wall and touches it with her finger only to immediately have the device turn red with an alarm. "You are not authorized to access this area." The reporter recoiled in surprise. "Oum," she muttered.


"That's J.A.R.V.I.S." a familiar voice said as an explanation before Christine turned around and she and the Audience saw Winter Schnee in a business dress. "He runs the house." she added before holding up Christine's clothes on a coat hanger and covered in plastic.


Winter appears in a blur and she growled, "Get her out of the house."


Willow, the other Schnee's, Ozpin's Inner Circle and the Ace-Ops, along Ruby and Yang turn to the members of STRQ who shrug in response


"I've got your clothes here. They've been dry-cleaned and pressed, and there's a car waiting for you outside that will take you anywhere you'd like to go." Winter stated. "You must be the famous Winter Schnee." Christine said as she gestured to Winter with her finger and walked to her. 


"Indeed I am." Winter confirmed with a nod. "After all these years," Christine said with a hint of a sneer. "Qrow still has you picking up the dry-cleaning."


Winter was unfazed by the insult and simply smiled. "I do anything and everything that Mr. Branwen requires, including, occasionally, taking out the trash." She gestures to the door. "Will that be all?"


"Ooh!" Sun, Neptune and Coco exclaimed.


"Shots fired!" Yang, Neon, Ruby, and Flynt shouted.


"The Ice Queen summons forth a blizzard," Marrow said to which the Ace-Ops nodded.


Weiss and Whitley simply clapped their hands along with Ironwood and Willow.


Winter just took it all and stride and smirked at the screen triumphantly.


The scene changed to show Qrow now working in his garage, listening to loud rock music while looking at a engine of a car. He turned to a screen. "Give me an exploded view." He instructed.


"The compression in cylinder 3 appears to be low." J.A.R.V.I.S. noted, showing the engine in a image of it pulled a part, piece by piece. Qrow nodded, "Log that."


Winter was seen walking down some stairs, talking on a Scroll. "I'm gonna try again, right now." She informed whoever she was talking to as she typed in the code to unlock the garage door and entered.


Qrow-Don't turn down my music. (Yang-Never mess with rock music.)


"I'll keep you posted," Winter said before she closed the Scroll and turned to her boss. "Raven said that she make sure that you'd be halfway around the world." She told him.


"Raven always tries to make sure I'm far from her." Qrow stated. "But she's with Yang at the moment. The little firecracker can be distracting. How'd she take it?" Qrow asked, referring to the reporter. "Like a champ," Winter replied, looking at some papers. "Why are you trying to hustle me out of here?" He asked, eyes still on the engine. "Your flight was scheduled to leave an hour and a half ago."


Qrow-That's funny, I thought with it being my plane and all, that it would just wait for me to get there. (Raven-Well, I don't see anything wrong in that thinking.)


"Qrow, I already spoke to your sister, I need to speak to you about a couple of things before I get out the door," Winter said, pushing the button of a pen.  Qrow finally turns to her. "Doesn't it kind of defeat the whole purpose of  having your own plane if it departs before you arrive?" He asks. Winter ignored the question and asked her own. "Larry called. He's got another buyer for the Jackson Pollock in the wings. Do you want  it? Yes, or no?"


Qrow-Is it a good representation of his spring period?


Winter-No. The Springs was actually the neighborhood in East Vale where he lived and worked, 'not spring' like the season.


Qrow-So?


"I think it's a fair example." Winter gave her opinion. "I think it's incredibly overpriced."


"I need it." Qrow replied. "Buy it. Store it."


Winter nodded and lowered her papers as she followed after Qrow. "Okay. The MIT commencement speech..." she started but Qrow interrupted her. "Is in June." He said. "Please, don't harangue me about stuff that's way, way, down..."


W-They're haranguing me, so I'm gonna say yes.


Q-Deflect it and absorb it. Don't transmit it back to me. Give it to Raven.


He turns back to face her and she holds up a folder. "I need you to sign this before you get on the plane."


Qrow-Why are you trying to get rid of me for, Ice Queen? What, you got plans?


Winter nods. "As a matter of fact, I do." Qrow pouted. "I don't like it when you have plans."


"She may work for you but you don't control every aspect of her life!" Weiss snapped. She gestures to Klein. "Klein lives with us and is still free to come and go as he pleases." Klein chuckled. "Thanks Ms. Schnee, but I think that you children would miss me."


"I'm allowed to have plans on my birthday." Winter countered. That caught Qrow off-guard. "It's your birthday?" he asked. "Yes," Winter nodded. Qrow's eyes darted everywhere before he said, "I knew that. Already?" 


"Yeah. Isn't that strange?" Sass was clear in her voice. "It's the same day as last year."


"He totally forgot," Elm said. Vein shook his head amused. "That poor fool," Marrow said. "That's horrible," Harriet said with a roll of her eyes. Clover patted Winter on the back.


"Well, that's a first." Tai said to Summer and Raven. "It happened once in our world," Summer said with a shrug. "Same thing happened with you," Raven said to Tai. "It was only twice!"


Summer-Three times for me!


Back onscreen, Qrow was thinking quick and said, "Get yourself nice from me." Winter responded. "I already did."


Qrow-And?


Winter-It was very nice.


Q-Yeah.


"Very tasteful." She added and nodded thanks. "Thank you, Mr. Branwen." Qrow nodded. "You're welcome, Ms. Schnee." He said as she gave him a cup of coffee and he downed it quickly. "Okay," he hands the cup back and then heads out.


"Don't exactly understood how he got her a gift when she buys it herself," Mercury said. "Well, I've assumed that he let her use his money," G-Fan replied. "So that would technically make the gift from him."


"Well, I guess that was sweet," Ruby said with a smile. 


The rock music came back as the scene changed to show a sports car roaring down a road and Tai's limousine was also seen struggling to keep up. 


The scene changed again to show both cars stopping at an airport tarmac. Marrow was seen glaring at Qrow as he got out of his car. "You're good." He complimented as he closed the door and turned to Raven and Tai who were sticking out of the limo. "I thought I lost you two back there." Raven just glared at him while Vernal nodded in defeat. "You did, sir." she said. "We had to cut across Mulholland." 


Qrow laughed, "I got you! I got you!" The window rolls down and a seven year old Yang Xiao Long pokes her head out of the window. "Hi, Uncle Qrow!" She said cheerfully and waves at him. She goes back inside before poking back out. "Bye, Uncle Qrow!"


"Hi Yang!" He calls back with a wave. "Bye Yang!" He walks up the staircase. He then sees that Marrow was furious. "What is wrong with you?!" demanded the Dog Faunus. "What?" The billionaire said innocently. 


Marrow-Three hours.


"Three hours?!" Elm repeated in shock.


"Okay that is unforgivable." Harriet commented.


Vein-There has to be repercussions for this.


"Well, we saw the beginning so there's your answer," Clover said. He doesn't blame his teammates. He'd be mad too if someone made him wait for three hours.


Qrow-I got caught doing a piece for Vanity Fair. (Blake-Sure.~)


Marrow-For three hours? For three hours, you got me standing here.


Qrow points to Raven, "Blame Rae, she lost track of time with teaching Yang karate." he said. "Hey, Uncle Marrow!" Yang called out from the limo. Marrow waved at the young girl as Qrow moved past him. "Waiting on you now," He said. "Let's go. Come on." 


Qrow-Wheels up! Rock and roll!


The plane was shown. (Something that the Audience assumed was like an Airship.) Branwen Industries was printed on the side. Qrow and Marrow were sitting next to each other as a stewardess was seen laying out silverware.


"What you reading, Dog man?" Qrow asked. "Nothing," Marrow said, not looking up from his paper. "Come on, sour patch." Qrow whined. "Don't be mad."


"I told you, I'm not mad." The Dog Faunus said as he finally looked to Qrow. "I'm indifferent, okay?"


Qrow-I said I was sorry.


Attractive stewardess-Good morning, Mr. Branwen.


Marrow-You don't need to apologize to me. I'm your man.


Qrow then turned to the stewardess. "Hi." He said with a smile. "I told him I was sorry, but he..." he started before Marrow continued speaking. "I'm just indifferent right now." He repeated. Raven should have been the one who won the rock-paper-scissors, he thought in the back of his mind.


"Wait that's how they do things for the company?" Blake asked.


Ilia-They play rock-paper-scissors?


G-Fan: Yes, and yes.


"For some reason I think we'd do that," Raven said, rubbing her chin.


Onscreen the stewardess held up a couple of towels. "Hot towel?" she asked and Qrow took one. "You don't respect yourself and your sister doesn't even respect you anymore." Marrow stated. "So I know you don't respect me."


"I respect you," Qrow assured him. "I'm just your babysitter when Rae isn't here." The Dog Faunus rambled. "So, when you need your diaper changed..." he stops as the stewardess gives him a towel. He gives her a thank you before turning back to the billionaire. "Let me know and I'll get you a bottle, okay?" He finished rambling. (Clover-Well there's an image.)


Qrow asked the stewardess, "Hey! Heat up the sake, will you?" He turns to Amin. "Thanks for reminding me." he says.


Marrow shook his head. "No, I'm not talking...We're not drinking right now. " he refused. "You can't have sashimi without sake," Qrow insisted. "You are constitutionally incapable of being responsible." Marrow replied.


"He does have a point," Ironwood said. "So far, this Qrow hasn't done anything responsible in this viewing." 


"But that doesn't mean he can't be responsible," Yang defended. "I'm not always responsible," She turns to her team and family. "but you guys know I can be." Her teammates and Dad give her so-so gestures with their hands. Ruby, Blake and Tai both having playful smirks.


The blonde brawler gasped and placed a hand on her chest, face etched in mock offense. "I'm so offended right now!"


"Let's wait and see," Ghira said. "We should wait and see if this Qrow is indeed capable of being responsible."


"It would be irresponsible not to drink." Qrow countered. ("Something Qrow would say in our world had he stopped drinking.") "I'm just talking about a nightcap." The stewardess came by, holding a bottle. "Hot sake?" she asked. 


Qrow-Yes, two please.


"No." Marrow denied. "I'm not drinking. I don't want any." The scene then changed to show both the billionaire and the Dog Faunus soldier clearly drunk. They sat on the couch with strobe lights flashed as the stewardesses were seen dancing around them.


Clover-Wow, Marrow. You clearly got wasted here.


Marrow-Hey I can hold my beer rather well thank you.


Harriet-Other you obviously can't.


"You are a soldier on duty." Ironwood snapped. "You are suppose to be alert and ready. You can't do that if you are that drunk."


Marrow onscreen was rambling on to Qrow. "That's what I'm talking about." he said. "When I get up in the morning and I'm putting on my uniform, you know what I recognize? I see in that mirror that every person that got this uniform on has got my back."


"Hey, you know what?" Qrow asked. "I'm not like you. I'm not like you." He told Marrow.


"No, no. You don't have to be like me!" Marrow exclaimed. "But you are more that what you are now."


"You know," Yang said, "That would be motivational and inspirational if he wasn't drunk."


Adam-True. If he wasn't drunk, it'd be genuine.


Qrow gestured to the dancing ladies. "Can you excuse me if I'm a bit distracted?"  he asked his friend. "No you can't be distracted right now!" Marrow exclaimed as the Audience get a view of the airplane above the clouds. "Listen to me!"


The screen turned off and the lights turned on to show the Audience that the place was decorated in Christmas lights and ornaments with Christmas cookies and candy canes on the tables.


"I'll be back." G-Fan said. "I need to go Christmas shopping for you guys." 


"Christmas?" Glynda repeated. "It's that time already?"


"In my time it is," The Boy answered. "Salem, Ozma, Zwei, you three are in charge." With that said, G-Fan jumped out a window and landed in the streets of Multi-Ville.


He morphs into a blue 3-foot tall hedgehog with red shoes and white gloves. "Gotta go fast." He said before he disappeared in a sonic boom.






END




Whew! That took awhile longer than I thought. Then again I wasn't expecting my older brother to get married last Friday.




Now for a while I was contemplating on who Qrow would be in the MCU.




At first I thought of Captain America, but I decided not.


Then I thought of Thor, mainly from the words, "What more could I loose?" 


*Shrugs* 


Maybe in a different story. 


Like I said, I got different plans for Tai in the MCU here that I just came up with. Same for Summer.


Yes, I have thought of making a different story from time to time. Mainly just Winter and the other members of Team STRQ react to a multiverse of the Scythe wielder. Same for Oscar. Team RWBY and maybe Ozpin along JNPR react to a multiverse of the Farmboy. Both will be not connected to this story.




Now next chapter is the gift exchange. If you have any last minute gifts for the Audience. Last chance.
