“Now, I know I’ve been… well me, but gimme five minutes.” (thatsmyuncleqrow)

She crossed her arms and frowned at him.

“I feel as though five minutes won’t really change anything. This is you, and as you said, you have been yourself.” Why would anything be different just because he claimed a bit of time would help? If he wanted to act better, he could have done so before now.

Slowly the sounds of the machines drew Ruby out of her sleep, blinking against the sudden brightness. Everything hurt, much more than it should. What had happened? Her memory was fuzzy, the more she tried to think the more it made her head hurt. “Where am I?” Her mouth felt like it was stuffed with cotton balls as she tried to speak.

Dis crouched behind a well-grown thicket, notebook balanced carefully on one knee as she observed the beasts in the nearby clearing. These strange creatures were not like anything she’d seen before, whether on Terra or in the Sidhe. They were meant to be terrifying creatures who yearned for the destruction of Humans and Faunus, yet she’d been in the forest over an hour, and they’d left her completely alone to do her observation and take down her notes. Even when she’d gotten close enough to be a stone’s throw away. How was that possible? She’d definitely have to study them more to figure it out.

The tremor forced Winter to grab at the nearest railing to keep from falling, but before she could demand to know what was going on, alarms sounded and emergency lights flashed. She knew something was wrong, but what caused this to happen was what she needed to find out.

Announcements blared over the intercom system, but she ignored them. She made the orders.

It was her ship.

“What is going on?!” 

Before she could get an answer from her pilot, and other tremor followed by an explosion shook the aircraft and Winter felt her stomach drop.

They were falling out of the sky. 

“Order everyone to--” 

Another explosion shook the ship and Winter lost her balance and hit her head as she fell. Despite the pain, she tried holding on to anything that would allow her to keep from being thrown around the cabin, but the crash came sooner than she thought it would.

The sound of crunching metal drowned out the blaring alarms.

Winter wasn’t sure if it was a blessing that she retained consciousness after the crash, but it did not help that she was now pinned under heavy equipment. Everything hurt, she likely had more injuries than she was aware of, and her ears were ringing, but she needed to get help.

“Is anyone...there?”

Groping around for her scroll, she knew that if others were hurt or trapped, she needed to get someone to come and get them. At least there weren’t many actual personnel that weren’t robotic to worry about; however, she was pinned and still did not know who attacked her ship in the first place. Whoever attacked could be hoping to find her, but if she could just get out a message....

A sharp pain forced her to stop and take a break from the exertion. Well, things could be better. She just needed a moment to think of something. She was better than this.

“How is that my fault? Just give me the blanket.”

(thatsmyuncleqrow) "Don't touch her!"

The day certainly hadn’t been the best leading up to this moment, and the smallest flinch that came when some drunken stranger who recognized who she was, or rather who her father was, dared to lift a hand was enough to further drive home the point that her day was a mess. Despite the flinch, Winter had intended on taking care of the problem herself. Surely the other deserved a broken bone or two.

But she was interrupted.

A sigh of exasperation simply couldn’t be held back, but instead of making a scene--as Qrow was about to do it seemed--Winter grabbed his sleeve and decided for the both of them that leaving was the best idea.

“Let’s go.”

(thatsmyuncleqrow) "You can make it through this. I know you can. Y-you have to..."

His words brought a small, sad smile to her lips. Maybe if the situation was different, she could find amusement in the fact that he didn’t seem so smug and snarky now. She could not taunt him for that here.

Winter wished that she could pull through her injuries, but she knew better. And she knew he did as well. They were too far away for help to arrive on time, and moving would only make things worse for her with the open wound in her stomach and a bleeding head injury; she could only sit and wait as each breath she had to fight for eventually became impossible to manage.

“You will…have to tell Weiss…I’m proud of her…. I’m happy that sh-she has found friends…and–” Hissing, she cut herself off. Speaking hurt far more than breathing did. Closing her eyes, Winter tried to even her breathing as much as she was capable, given her condition.

How easy it would be to just…fall asleep….

No. 

She wasn’t done yet.

Forcing her eyes open again, she grimaced at the slight spinning sensation that came with trying to focus on who was there with her.

“Qrow, you don’t…have to stay and…watch.”

Maybe it would be easier for him to not be there, to not know when her last breath would be. Having him there was…comforting in its own way. At least she wasn’t alone, but for her, this moment would be fleeting. For him–knowing how he was–it was likely he would carry this moment with him until his own death. If she could ease that in exchange of momentary comfort for herself, she would.

He already had enough pain in one lifetime.

“Go on….”
