Penny simply nodded– she didn’t want to press the other girl. She knew that Yang would tell her when she was ready, and that would be enough. Though, in the back of her mind, she hoped Ruby knew of her own sister’s well being…
“Yes, it’s very strange…” Despite the oddity of their situation, Penny continued to smile. “I don’t recall how I came here, either.”
“The last thing I can remember is talking with Ruby, and then going to fight Pyrrha Nikos during the tournament. The fight itself I can’t seem to remember, it’s a bit… fuzzy.”
Perhaps ‘fuzzy’ was not the best word to use, but, she could think of no better substitute. She assumed Yang would understand what she meant, however.
Penny’s last memories, and remembering what happened next... It made something catch in Yang’s throat. Remembering the sparks flying, the wires wrapping round and round until Penny crumbled. It was traumatic to watch, truly, someone being dismembered. Someone who Yang considered a friend, even. But maybe this could be... a new start for Penny. One where she didn’t have to stay in Ironwood’s watch at all times.
Ruby had never given details, but after they reunited in Haven they spoke a lot. About Pyrrha, Penny, and Beacon.
“Well... Neither of us remember how we got here.” Yang was worried that she had a feeling why. Maybe these scientists were... bringing people back. If Penny didn’t remember how she bit the dust, maybe Yang...
“But this city is different, way different from Beacon. Maybe it’s like... A new start.” Could she really accept that? Should Yang even tell Penny what happened after her fight with Pyrrha?br>
