Broken Feathers, Burning Hearts

@burning-blonde

Qrow flew high and fast over Patch. He’d been at work at Signal until he got a frantic call from Tai that the girls had run off somewhere. So he was searching the ground near the house while Qrow searched from the skies. He refused to panic just yet. They were on fucking Patch, what was the worst that could happen? As long as the girls got home safely this could even be the wakeup call Tai needed. After Summer and Raven… he wasn’t the same. Neither of them were, but unlike Qrow, Tai wasn’t used to dealing with a lifetime of tragedy.

He saw a knot of Beowulf around an old farmhouse and his need to find his nieces warred with his obligations as a huntsman. They didn’t gather like that without reason.

Then he saw what that reason was. And sheer terror set in.

Yang and Ruby were there. 

He dove hard and fast, praying that he made it in time. He shifted as he flew behind the derelict building, drawing his scythe as he lunged at the pack, his expression one of deadly intent even as inside of him terror reigned.

She had just wanted to find her mother that was all, she thought the note would tell her something. Anything else at this house yet she didn’t find one not anywhere all she found was nightmarish eyes, like staring into hell itself. With Ruby in a wagon and her legs rooted in place she was ready for death at least until her Uncle dropped seemingly out of nowhere carving his way through the crowd of beowulf like they were nothing. Yang was left standing wide eyed and shaking the piece of paper in her hands with a picture of that house in a much better state. It had been hidden, hidden behind her father’s picture of his team...of her mom...so why...wasn’t anything here?

The blonde girl turned her head to look at her sister, still asleep in the back of that little red wagon. Like nothing had happened, finallyt he exhaustion hit her her knees gave out she fell down on the side of the wagon leaning over it holding her little sister’s hand and crying.

Why did this happen?

She didn’t understand all she wanted to know was where her mother was...but those monsters they would’ve eaten her....

...the would’ve eaten RUBY.

She cried harder.

Breaking Fast

Tai snickered. “Not really of my own volition. Have you seen photos of our old team? Team STRQ. Your uncle is still horrified by how badly I ruined the color scheme. Your mother dresses like your uncle, all in dark colors with a bit of red and Summer… Summer had her long white cloak and some hints of red, all of them dark haired. And there was me, in orange and brown with my blonde hair.” He laughed happily, knowing full well that Yang preferred the same color schemes, as he did, though her team had a far greater variety of colors than his had. 

“They called me the team banana sometimes,” he said with fond scorn. “And you know how much your uncle likes to pull pranks… when he and your mother are together, they amplify each other beyond all reason. I forget what started it, but they stole all of my clothes and left me with a black and red ensemble with that ridiculous cape to top it off and then it became a regular prank with them. Or my penalty if I lost a bet or a challenge.” 

He let out a nostalgic sigh. “You are absolutely correct that I looked ridiculous and that it was a terrible terrible awful idea. We’ll let your uncle know you want to see some of his old photo albums of the many ridiculous situations I got myself into. He’ll be delighted. He’s been compiling those things for practically as long as I’ve known him, the jerk.” 

Tai shook his head. “I know there’s at least one where I managed to trip over the end of it and got all tangled up in it like a caterpillar in a cocoon. Luckily Summer took pity on me and helped me out of it. Your uncle tended to just take pictures and leave me to my fate.”

“Hah! That sounds like Uncle Qrow alright...”  she shook her head at the story and couldn’t help but laugh a bit. She could picture it now her dad all tied up in a tree and her Uncle just laughing at him. She shook her head, her team wasn’t nearly so...color coordinated so to speak, not even close. Though in truth she defiantly stuck out compared to the other but the attention was something she lived off of.

At team ‘banana’ Yang lost it picturing her father in a banana costume laughing curling in on herself. Why? Because that left her picturing her dad ina  banana suit and the worst part was it totally fit him.

“Your team was the WORST oh my god, Uncle Qrow especially man I can’t wait to see that album.” she honestly was taking mental notes, she totally could manage something like that in the future for Ruby. Something to embarrass her little sister with when she had kids and was an adult, it was her morale obligation as an older sister to do so in Yang’s mind.

“Did you ever get them back for it though? Don’t tell me you just took it?”

Qrow sighed. And so it began. He was curious how his sister would field these questions, all of which were extremely fair but also rather difficult.

“When I left the vault, the bond to your father was the only one I had to get out of Haven. He found me.” Her tone said there was a hell of a lot more to that story, but she didn’t elaborate. “A few days later I went to see what had become of my tribe since Salem knew where the camp was, although I had no intention of returning to them. I finished burying them when I knew Tai was in danger.” She sank back against the wall a little bit more, her composure as brittle as he’d ever seen it. The last few weeks had definitely not been kind to his sister.

“And you’re still here because…?” Still, after the last nineteen years, Qrow wasn’t exactly feeling merciful, especially not when Yang was the one who wanted answers. Though he was impressed Raven was actually giving straight answers for once. Raven gave him a cutting look. “You forget, Raven, I’m not afraid of you.” He’d been afraid for her, but never of her.

“I’m here because your father wants me to be.”

Qrow was willing to admit that there were some aspects of this better addressed by Tai.

“I’ve told you about your mother’s bonds… and after being on a team with her for years I still remembered the sound of one of her portals opening and I chased her down.” Tai smiled slightly. “Finished what you started in smashing her denials… but I couldn’t just leave her out in the cold and even after all this time… after everything…” 

“She can feel powerful things from people she’s bonded to and it gave her enough of a warning that she portaled back before that scorpion bastard dragged me off to be bait or a pawn or something and got both of us to your uncle to save… well… what was left of me.” He smiled in dark amusement, glancing at the place where the sheet was flat. He wasn’t as calm about the loss of his leg as he would have liked to be. All in all it was a small price to pay compared with falling directly into Salem’s clutches, but Yang of all people would understand how much adjustment he’d need to make to adapt. 

Tai locked eyes with their daughter, giving her hand a squeeze and meeting her eyes solemnly. “I’m still in love with your mother. I know… I know it will take time for you to know her… if you want to. There are reasons she left us… why you’ve grown into a huntress without knowing her at all… but I understand that these are probably just excuses to you. I… I won’t force you to give her a chance, sweetheart, you get to make your own decisions and decide what you’re comfortable with, but I hope you can accept that I want her back in my life.” Tai pulled Yang’s hand to his mouth, kissing it before letting go, not wanting to force her to stay if she needed her space. 

He glanced over at Raven, his eyes full of an emotion Yang probably hadn’t seen there since Summer died. There was no doubt that he loved his daughters with every fiber of his being, but that look said that he was still in love with Raven. 

The look he threw at Qrow was a little more panicky, since letting go of Yang’s hand had left him without contact and none of them needed him to have a full anxious meltdown right now. 

The ‘scorpion bastard’ was lucky her mother had gotten to him first Yang’s real hand went over her false arm. It wasn’t easy to be taken from like that she was still adjusting her fingers gripping the metal. She had to stand up when her father released her hand. She didn’t want to leave him in this state and she wasn’t going to run away that wasn’t her job but she needed to stand and breath. Because well frankly, this wasn’t fair to her in the slightest. What was she supposed to say? It’s okay? It wasn’t. Ask him to make her leave? When he had that look on his face, not a chance.

For some reason Yang couldn’t fathom he was still in love with her mother. A thought raced to her head, what about Summer? Her mind started to chase it away but, it stuck. What about Summer, what about Ruby, what about the woman who had truly been her mother? Or at least tried to be...she knew her bitterness at Summer for ‘leaving’ was weaker. She’d been killed doing what she thought was right there wasn’t much Yang could hang onto to feel genuinely angry with her not anymore.

However, Raven, her BLOOD mother, that was an entirely different story.

No this wasn’t fair in the slightest to Yang, yet, when had anything ever been? Not to mention it pricked at her, she came back for her FATHER not Yang, no matter what she’d tried to get through her mother’s thick skull Raven still ran away from HER. She didn’t resent her father but it stung her personally. It wasn’t a bite Yang could ignore.

“What are you all expecting me to say? Totally different things I bet, but, I don’t know what I’m SUPPOSED to say here...” there was plenty she WANTED to say however, she was far too matured and weathered by the world to be so selfish to voice them right out...not when her dad was sitting there like that. Lost.

It made her sick but, he needed her mom right now...maybe more than he needed her and that made Yang absolutely sick to her stomach.

“That’s fair,” Raven allowed. She glanced at the sky. “I should be heading back.” She turned away again. “I’ll see you after the battle.” She shifted and flew off, heading for Leo’s office. And as long as she survived the battle, she would uphold her promise.

Yang watched the bird fly away and frankly, assumed it to be the last time she’d see her mother. She turned and walked inside, not prepared for what she’d see when the battle at Haven came to pass.

“Mom.” it seemed only fitting that it had been her able to break away from all the fighting to come meet her mother in the vault. Cinder Fall was nowhere to be found and one of her mom’s people laid dead on the floor the whole thing was a mess that was for sure.

“So are you going to tell me what’s going on or did you lie to me and you’re just going to fly away again?” her mother had already opened the vault Yang watched her with wary eyes. She wanted to believe things could be different now but her gut fought against that urge hard.

Lost in a Nightmare

@roseskindlyscattered

He was there again, the glowing red mask, the glowing red sword, yes everything about that man glowed in a red menace. He himself seemed to drip with malice a smirk Yang could never escape.She wanted to kill him to fire at him but it was like her shots went through him, she couldn’t harm him. Then she was left again crippled with nothing to defend herself backing away. Would he take the other one or just kill her she wasn’t sure but all she felt in her chest was terror....she wanted someone to help her...anyone but she couldn’t scream.

Where was Ruby....or Weiss or- her thoughts were cut short by a blinding white light she wasn’t sure what was happening but the man himself evaporated yet Yang didn’t feel awake.

“Who...who’s there?”

Blake just looked at her, golden eyes barely masking her displeasure of Yang’s nonchalance about her injury. “You’re bleeding,” she pointed out as if her partner didn’t notice, clearly unimpressed. 

“Come on,” she said, gently letting go of Yang’s injured hand and taking her other one, pulling her toward a medic tent that had been set up in case something grievous happened to one of the racers. The medic handed her a bandage roll when she showed him Yang’s bleeding hand. She took it and carefully removed what was left of Yang’s decimated glove, then started wrapping up her hand. 

Really, no big deal. Blake almost scoffed. “Let me know if it’s too tight,” she told her.

“Hey Blake!” any protest she tried to make was promptly ignored as she was dragged into the medical tent. Yang quickly gave up, if it would make Blake feel better she could get it wrapped up after all it’d heal with her aura soon enough wrapping it up so it didn’t look so nasty in the meantime might do better for people not giving her weird looks on the street when they went shopping.

“-and you act like I”m the stubborn one. Talk about the pot calling the kettle...BLAKE!” she grinned at her terrible joke, not caring if it didn’t land. In fact whatever expression her partner made in turn to it might be even better than an actual laugh. The darker haired girl’s annoyed faces had a certain charm to them one Yang to herself was very fond of.

“Thanks for the patch job doc. I was fine but hey now i”m not bleeding on everything.” she tested her bound up hand nodding in approval.

Tai gave her a squeeze and kissed the top of her head. “As long as you need. As long as you want,” he agreed. “At the very least until you feel like you’ve got your balance back.” 

He chuckled softly, combing his fingers through her ponytail. “Plus I’m enjoying having you home and getting to spoil you a little. You and I both know when you’re ready you’ll throw yourself back out into the wider world but in the meantime I get to snuggle you like I haven’t since you were very little.” 

“And while you rest you can consider your next move and I can help if you’d like, or I can see if your uncle left any of his photo albums of embarrassing photos of me around if you’d like a ready made source for laughter. …I honestly don’t know how Ruby and Summer wear capes without tripping and falling all the time. Whenever I tried it I tended to wind up in a hopeless tangle, of which your uncle has gathered abundant photographic evidence.” 

Tai stroked her hair again then wrapped his arms around her, pulling her against his broad chest as he leaned his head against hers. “You can take as long as you need. You’re safe here and your sister has most of a team with her and, I expect, Qrow watching over her sooner or later. I’m confident she’ll make it to Haven and I’m equally confident that when and if you’re ready, between the two of us we can come up with a plan to get you back to your sister and to bring your team back together even if I have to figure out how to repair signal towers and go around fixing them my own self so we can have cross-kingdom messaging again.”

“Qrow will be with her he-” she paused and sighed “-he promised me he would.” she had seen Ruby’s departure coming, rough as it was. There was no way with the way she talked or felt she’d stay here when the world outside was falling apart, a part of Yang wanted to be with her but, the much larger part was weak and knew she’d provide more burden than aide.That was still a bitter pill to swallow whenever she thought of her sister she glanced at her dad and his comment about capes.

“You seriously tried to wear one of those? I bet you looked ridiculous.” tangled or not a cape well, it just wasn’t a good accessory for her dad, or her for that matter. Yang didn’t need a cape to trail behind her dramatically, she had her hair for that, and her dad well. He didn’t have that but, it still would just look strange on him.

“You in a cape might be, something I need to see.” though that probably wasn’t the real reason. No at it’s core Yang just no longer wished to talk about herself. Not about healing or her team or training...no she wanted to talk about anything else. If her dad was offering pictures of himself acting foolish when he was younger she’d take it. It might actually be funny and more importantly changed the subject...for now...she needed to let it go.

“Honestly dad, why would you even think putting on a cape like any of them would be a good idea? It’s totally not your style.”

Raven had no idea how to respond to that.

“Raven is the one who killed Tyrian, all I did was point out we needed his tail,” Qrow said. He glanced from the door to her, and then moved to stand beside her. She moved away, still where Tai could see her easily, but standing apart from her brother. “You look like you have a lot of questions, Firecracker. Now’s as good a time as any to ask away.” He looked at Raven, and she didn’t need him to explain it.

She closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them. “I’m not leaving,” she said. While she couldn’t portal away, there was nothing here that could hold her if she decided that she wanted to go. Instead she relaxed against the wall, crossing her arms over her chest, finally meeting her daughter’s eyes. “I won’t run away.”

Tai kept a hold of Yang’s hand more for himself than for her, aware of the tension in the room and all too aware of how much of it was a direct result of his actions. He rubbed his thumb over Yang’s knuckles, trying to offer some comfort while he glanced from Qrow to Raven a little worriedly. 

His bright dragon of a daughter had inherited his heart but she’d also gotten more of her temper from her mother. Still… he had chosen to welcome Raven back into his life and this discussion had been a long time coming… Probably better to tear off the bandage now. 

“What’s going on? I thanked you for saving dad, but what are you doing here with him? How did you know where to find him?” she took a deep breath those were just the opening question. Her tension could be felt even in her father’s hand she wasn’t happy she was trying to be mature. Yet the situation thrust on her after years of abandonment was hardly fair to her, yet, the blonde had gotten used to being treated unfairly on the whole.

“-and, if you’re not leaving what ARE you going to do?” while her Uncle had offered answers, she made it quite clear the people she had questions for were her parents. Both of them.

“Why don’t you look surprised she’s here dad? What does everyone in here know that I don’t, it’s obviously SOMETHING.”

“We will,” he agreed. They didn’t have much other choice. “And Yang, I will answer any questions you have about any of this, especially your mother. You’re right, it’s not fair that we’ve been keeping you in the dark for so long.” Qrow might have been more forthcoming than Tai had ever been, but he also kept far worse secrets than Tai knew.

“That’s...all I want. No more secrets, I don’t think we can afford to keep them anymore.” if they tried to dance around their allies, they’d surely miss a step and be struck down by their enemies. The only reason she’d approached her Uncle with the problem was because the secrets were too much....it had been a mess start to finish but something they had to get done.

“Thank you.”

Fallen from the Nest

[burning-blonde-blog]

Raven gave her daughter a weary, crooked grin. “You sound like your father.” She sighed and ran a hand through her hair. “Once this is done, we’ll talk, and I’ll answer everything. Salem’s pet and Leo have to be dealt with first, and once that danger is out of the way we can deal with everything else.”

Yang wanted to make demands, yet, she didn’t she simply shrugged. She could ask for proof but, there was nothing her mother could give her that would make her sure of that ‘promise’.

“I’ll believe it when I see it.” she had no smile to offer her mother in turn, or comment on being like her father. No, that was a COMPLIMENT as far as she was concerned.

“It’s not so simple as that,” Raven sighed. But she had changed once, hadn’t she? When she and Qrow had turned their backs on everything they’d known and decided not to return to the tribe. “When you’ve been running from something for so long, it’s hard to go back.”

She turned to face Yang, her eyes catching the setting sun. Her enemies would be wondering where she’d vanished to. “My plans for the battle of Haven can’t change now, there’s too much at stake. After the battle… we can talk.” It was the best she could give at the moment.

“Fine.” Yang stopped her walk to her mother before reaching her when she turned and talked about the battle at Haven. She wasn’t happy about that answer yet, it was more of an admission than her mother had ever given her. She stared at the darker haired woman for a while, like looking at a strange warped reflection she paused but quickly found words.

“Nothing worth doing comes easy.” a fact that had come to Yang the hard way...when life had turned on a heel and knocked her off her feet.

Getting up wasn’t easy, but, after she was up it was worth it.

Qrow supported her weight and held her closer, tears falling silently from his own eyes. Those three words, after everything he’d had to tell her, everything she’d found out, they broke him.

“Thank you,” he said softly.

It wasn’t easy. Forgiving, fighting, answers, the whole damn place they called Remnant was a mess. But, in the moment she knew she could trust family she had held in such high regard, she had been ready to fight her own mother over...it was a relief. The vast expanse of the world threatening to crush her pulled back just enough for her to feel like she could breath again.

“We’ll find a way.” she didn’t know if she was talking about her mother or Salem, but it didn’t matter. In that moment, she believed it whatever it was.

When her teammate made her way to her she opened her mouth to give her congratulations though that didn’t work out quite exactly as planned. Blake was nearly crushed by Yang’s embrace, but she returned the hug as best as she could. “I did. You were amazing, Yang.” She grinned. Her partner had been incredible out there and the race was exhilarating to watch, she’d have to admit.

“Wait, Yang, your hand,” Blake said, remembering how she’d pushed herself and her bike upright to speed to the finish line. She pulled back slightly from Yang, reaching for her hand so she could see the damage that’d been done.

Yang was so caught up in the moment of jubilation that she hadn’t noticed or really even thought about her hand. Blake’s words drew her eyes to it when her friend pulled back. It had been such a split second decision that she’d barely been able to focus her aura to protect it. As a result it wasn’t destroyed or anything just scratched up and bleeding pretty well. The blonde gave a shrug and a grin, it stung now that she looked at it, but, she’d had far worse.

“Whoops? It’ll heal it’s no big deal I might want to replace this glove while I’m out though.” the glove had also helped to protect her form too much skid damage along with her last minute aura use...but it was completely destroyed.

Better it than Yang’s entire hand though...her aura should be able to heal scrapes like this...

“If you truly don’t want to see her… that’s your choice. It’s always your choice.” Tai had had a long time to master keeping his voice steady when Raven came up. “Your mother and me… well… if you feel you need answers I won’t interfere… I don’t know if there’s any answer she could give that would erase what happened. I’ve come to peace with it, but then again out of that mess I got you and I wouldn’t change anything if it meant not having you in my life.” 

He sighed, trying to find the words. “Your uncle can be like that sometimes… not running like your mom did or your partner did… but he drinks to get away, to face the unbearable… He’s gotten a little better over the years about allowing me to help him recover from hangovers but he’s never been the sort to recuperate quietly in the hospital. Also if you ever wake up with an IV lead in your arm, do not yank it out. It’s a mess and dangerous and your uncle has done it more times than I can count.”

“I know it’s hard sweetie, it’s so hard when someone you care a lot about refuses to let you in… to let you help…” He laughed a little, realizing that it almost sounded like he’d intentionally brought it back around to her. “You can try to deal with it like I do, with patience and words and acceptance, or you can follow your own path. There isn’t a right or wrong with friendship. With… partnership. You have to do what works for you. What you can live with.” 

Tai kissed the side of her head again. “I know I talk too much and nose in where you maybe don’t want me, but overall sweetie…. it doesn’t sound like you don’t want to see her again. Even if it’s just to tell her how upset you are and to punch her out. Gods know I thought about doing that a time or two after your mother left… but then I got you and everything changed.” 

“I guess what I’m trying to say is that I support you and whatever decision you make. I’ll help any way I can and I’ll always be here for you.” 

Dad was, well, still Dad.

Yang of course hadn’t expected anything less, that would be expecting him not to be dad. That was something she’d never do in fact she’d be more unsettled if he acted any differently even accidentally or intentionally bringing it back around to her didn’t irk her too terribly. No matter whether he’d done it on accident or purpose there was no malicious intent behind it. In truth it wasn’t even her intent to shut her father out and this was her attempting to build the bridge, poorly and mid breakdown, but, she was trying.

She wasn’t perfect, but, a part of her felt her father understood her well enough to know she was trying...and for now she hoped that could be enough.

Because even just trying itself was exhausting. Yet, she’d do it.

“No I wouldn’t hit her. No matter how tempting it was.” happening upon her partner with THAT guy....the guy who took her arm hitting her would do very little good. No matter how angry she was Yang couldn’t see herself genuinely doing that were they to ever cross paths again.

“I-” she paused for a moment and sighed “-I don’t know what I want from her. She’s not mom, I don’t know where she is...I can’t just barge in and demand answers she’d have to come back. Honestly, I don’t think she will.” it was a bit pessimistic for the sunny girl’s usual disposition, yet, could she really be blamed after all that had happened to her?

“I don’t know what to do yet...what I can do...or what I want to do...I-” it dawned on her and she sighed, it felt like a weak answer yet, she was hoping acting on it would let her form a stronger one.

“I just want to stay here, with you.” a pause “Just for a little while longer...”

She felt so small admitting that, yet, it was true she’d been hurt in a way that would not be easy to recover from...not for her.

“I need you right now...the rest can wait. Thanks for...being here dad.”

Qrow looked at Raven when Yang ran into Tai’s arms. “You really don’t change, do you? One person catches you being even mildly affectionate and you jump like a startled cat.” She flipped him off. “Seriously, you’d think by now you’d be over that.” She dropped her hand to scowl at him. He quickly shut the door in case her eyes did start to glow at some point. “Or not.” This was really not how he would have wanted this to happen. At least Tai was mildly coherent and Qrow could play interpreter to Raven and hopefully use his semblance for something good. Mostly against his sister.

“What time is it, anyway?” She wondered. She still looked drained.

“You were only out for about two hours,” he replied. 

The bandages pulled a little and the wires got in the way, but it would take far more than that to get him to put any less into hugging his daughter. “I’m so glad you’re ok, sweetheart, I’m so proud of you.” Tai stroked her bright hair, then detangled himself from her with a sigh, sinking back onto his pillows though he kept ahold of one of her hands. After Tyrian… his need for tactile comfort could be classed as more of a compulsion. 

He glanced at Qrow and Raven, then back to his daughter, squeezing her hand with a slightly awkward smile. Well at least this wasn’t their first face to face meeting… still… no sense not trying to smooth things over. 

“I know… well, no, I don’t know exactly how you feel… but your mother and uncle saved my life,” he said seriously. “That monster…” Tai swallowed, then shook his head. “They saved my life. She saved my life.”

Her ears registered sounds, her Uncle and mother talking in lower tones, as well as the click of the door. Yet for the moment she focused on her father and doing her best to help untangle herself from him without hurting him. He’d once lectured her on IVs she wouldn’t want them to accidentally tear out one of his. He spoke on the situation and she heard him and looked up, it was more than she wanted to take in yet, she wouldn’t try and deny plain fact.

Her Uncle and seemingly in large part her Uncle had saved her father. There was a part of her chest that was offended in agony over the fact that she’d walked in on her mother seeming intimate and almost normal with her father. Only to have Raven run form Yang herself again, another slap in the face of her ultimate abandonment. Yang was full of questions yet instead of one of them two word were all that came out as she regarded Qrow and even her mother.

“Thank you.” she wasn’t pleased, but, this was no time to be in denial either.

Girl’s Night

[burning-blonde-blog]

mybellanotte:

After her initial outburst when Yang had shot off onto the track, Blake kept her eyes trained on her partner, that orange-yellow blur. The high intensity excitement from those around her infected her as well, and it made her stomach flip every time she saw Yang pull ahead of the other racers at the front of the pack. Her hands picked at the ribbon wrapped around her wrist, and the sudden anxiety she felt on the final lap was a combination of the loud roar that erupted from the crowd at Yang’s risky maneuver and the tightness she felt in her chest because she had nearly forgotten to breathe. 

But seeing Yang cross the finish line in first brought a smile to Blake’s face, and she plucked her way through the crowded bleachers to get to her partner, and just get some space for herself in general. “Yang!” she called, but she wasn’t sure if she could hear her. There were so many people cheering still. 

Yang threw up her hands in utter triumph when the smoke cleared, even more pleased accepting her 1st place trophy back from it’s last holder. Just for a picture with it, they kept it by the track and every week the winner go ta new picture with it. Next week it could be her again could be someone else but, not actually keeping the thing kept it fun and fairly harmless.

Besides who needed a gold trophy when she now had pleanty of money to spend on her and Blake. She’d seen the other girl in the stands moving mouth open joining the crowd in cheers, it has pushed her to take that last risk. Which wouldn't you know it paid off. Once she had her picture she began cutting through the crowd pushing and shoving until she found her teammate wrapping her arms around her hugging her and lifting her slightly off the ground.

“Did you see that Blake did you SEE that!?”

Once he realised that Yang was gone, he followed, shifting and flying overhead, his dark feathers blending in completely with the night sky. When she stopped and just cried he shifted back, landing beside her, and went over, hugging her tight.

“I’m sorry, Yang,” he said. He just kept fucking up at every turn. “Once we get the relic to Atlas, things should be quiet for a while. We’ll go find Raven, and we’ll make her answer for everything.”

Yang curled into her uncle’s embrace, he hadn’t meant it...the fact that she knew that was why she’d tried to leave. Yet, it had just made her feel worse in the end they were now standing in the front yard of their lodging as she half stepped half fell off her bike into Qrow’s hug returning it full force as she continued to cry.

It wasn’t his fault...and it wasn’t her’s either...weeping here in his chest she knew that. He couldn’t stop mom if he wanted to...and neither could she...that was the worst part of all of it.

“I’m sorry too. I-” she swallowed trying to make out her declaration through the tears as she shook.

“-I love you Uncle Qrow...” that was why it had hurt so much to question him...but, with how laid bare she felt they both were in the moment...that fear was gone. She pushed out a second equally important set of 3 words.

“I trust you.”
