Cinder was Infront of Lil'Miss. Emerald and Mercy were sitting on a saprate table.

Cinder: Do you have my information?

Lil' Miss: Of course I do, darling. Lil' Miss always delivers. Although, I can't promise you'll be pleased.

Cinder glares at her.

Lil' Miss: Word is they were seen boarding the Argus Limited a few weeks back. While that isn't exactly far from here, Argus is rarely a destination for folks. Chances are they'll be going straight to--

Cinder: Atlas.

Cinder walks away while Lil' Miss smiles at her intuitiveness.

Lil' Miss: You know, you turned out to be quite the interesting customer... Cinder.

Cinder stops in her tracks upon hearing her name. Making Emerald and Mercy widen there eyes. Cinder turns around to face Lil' Miss again.

Lil' Miss: It's not often a single client brings me double the business. (taps her cigarette holder into an ashtray)

A creak is heard from the walkway above, Cinder looks up to see who it is.

Cinder: Wait...

A pair of high-heeled boots are shown, and Hush is shown to be lowered before its owner places it behind her head. A certain multi-colored girl of pink, brown and white stares down at Cinder from her position...

Cinder: Neo?

Lil' Miss: (to her henchwoman) Maybe put away the good glasses.

R: not just her alone.

A particular red head walks over to the cat walk next to Neo, tapping her cane.

Emerald: Roma.

Roma mearly looks on and looks to Neo and nods.

Neo jumps down and lands a strike on Cinder, only for her form to suddenly shatter. Neo then reappears from another direction and knocks Cinder back.

Cinder: What are you doing?!

Neo proceeds forward and continues to land blows that push Cinder back to Lil' Miss' table. Lil' Miss stops the ashtray from falling off the shaking table and holds her hand, as if to tell her two bodyguards not to intervene. Cinder pushes off of Lil' Miss' table and begins to fight back, using hand-to-hand to counter Neo's strikes.

Emerald was about to help but was blocked by Roma's cane.

Cinder then kicks Neo up and the two fight on the bar counter. Neo knocks some bowls into Cinder before the latter throws the umbrella wielder off the counter. Neo lands gracefully back on the ground. The two continue trading blows until Cinder is launched towards the ceiling, she pushes off of it and Neo barely dodges the flaming fist that shatters the table below her.

Cinder jumps up to the balcony railing and looks down on Neo.

Lil' Miss: That's enough, ladies! (the bodyguards draw their weapons at the two combatants) I love dinner and a show, but it's time to take it outside.

Taking the gangster's advice, Cinder is pushed through the window onto the empty street with Neo following her. Cinder lands back on her feet while Neo's form shatters again.

Cinder: Hmph, nice trick. (stands straight up to look around for Neo) You've gotten stronger... So have I.

Cinder conjures a fireball that she launches behind her. Neo blocks the blast with her umbrella. She lifts it revealing Roma next to her.

Roma: yeah, well at least I lived to see what you really are. Now what do you want and what does your boss want from us now.

Cinder puts her weapon away. By then Emerald and Mercy came out.

Cinder: we are not part of her team anymore, we're hoping to find y/n so we could join him.

Roma: I was going to do the same.

Cinder looks to her peers then back to Roma and Neo

Cinder: Okay then... Let's talk.

Roma raises an eyebrow and Neo points to her mouth with an annoyed look on her face.

Cinder: (shrugs) Right...

(Meanwhile)

A snow storm appears at Brunswick Farms, making visibility nigh difficult. A wind howling is heard.

Ruby: (sighs) I don't get it. The empty towns I've passed through were all damaged or unfinished. But this place looks... fine.

Team RWBY, Quill, Octavia, you and Maria arrive at the porch of a residence. Weiss is shivering as she wraps her arms around her to keep herself warm.

Weiss: Maybe everyone left in a hurry. Before things took a turn?

Quill tries to open the door, only to notice it was locked.

You: no one is home, yet it it's locked.

Quill: Hmm. Stay on guard.

Quill kicks the door open, everyone proceeds forward with their weapons drawn. They cautiously look around the place.

Maria: Close the door already! It's cold enough in here as it is.

Maria walks into the house. Afterwards, Blake and Octavia push a nearby drawer to block the door.

Blake: I saw a chimney from the outside. Maybe we could get a fire going?

Weiss: Please. I'll look for some blankets.

Quill: Yang, go with her.

You: I'll search for wood for the fire.

Ruby lingers by the entrance hall for the bit while the others look around. Octavia can be heard opening a door.

Octavia: Looks like a study. Or, a library?

Ruby walks forward to notice a group of pictures on the wall of the family that owns Brunswick Farms.

You look at the photo and see one girl with red hair who looks very familiar. Another was small girl holding doll.

Your mind: can't be can it

Blake walks up next to her.

Blake: What do you think?

Ruby: Something doesn't feel right.

Blake: Let's look for some--

Suddenly, a high-pitched scream is heard.

You: Weiss!

Ruby, you and Blake head up the stairs and run into the room Yang and Weiss were in. Quill also arrives. They look on the bed to see a pair of decomposing corpses...

(Later)

A fire is burning in the fireplace. Weiss watches it, still shaken from what she saw earlier. You wrap a blanket around Weiss before sitting on the couch Yang is on. The group hears the door open and close, and Quill walks back in brushing snow off herself.

Quill: It's the same in every house.

Yang: What?

Quill: Bodies. Every bed in every home. It's like the whole estate just went to sleep and never woke up.

Weiss: Then we're not staying here, right?

Quill: (walks over to the fireplace to warm up) We don't have a choice. Storm outside's only getting worse. We'd freeze to death before we made it anywhere.

Maria: Well, might as well get comfortable. (walks over to a bookshelf)

Yang: Yeah, fat chance.

Ruby: Okay, then, let's do something. If this place wasn't abandoned it might still have supplies we could use.

Octavia: Hey, yeah. Maybe even a car.

Quill: I'll do another sweep of the grounds. No one else goes anywhere alone.

Blake: Yang, you and I can search the other buildings for vehicles.

Yang: (annoyed) Fine, whatever gets me out of this house.

You, happy to help you.

Yang, you and Blake leave, with Ruby moving the drawer to let them exit. Afterwards, Ruby looks over to see Weiss at the doorway to the living room with a melancholic look on her face.

Ruby: Food always makes me feel better. (chuckles nervously) Just saying.

Weiss: Right...

Ruby and Weiss leave the room, leaving Octavia and Maria alone together.

Maria: I'll tell you what. You keep that fire fed... (finds a book with an "I" on the cover) ... and I'll find us a story to read before bed.

Maria sits back down on the couch and begins reading while Octavia sighs.

Outside, Blake, you and Yang walk through the snowstorm toward a nearby shed. They enter it and find rows of shelves full of supplies on it and a tractor.

Blake: (looking at the tractor) Something tells me that's not street legal.

You: well could use some work.

The three of them continue walking through the shed.

Yang: What do you think happened here?

Blake: There's that well in the square. Maybe water contamination?

You: Yeah, maybe.

You stops and put a hand on your forehead.

Blake: Hey, are you okay?

 You: Yeah... I mean, no. But, I don't know. I'm just tired.

Blake: Yeah.

Yang puts a hand on your shoulder.

Yang: y/n, you could always talk to us.

You just walk of and looked through

You: Hey, I found something.

You see a flatbed trailer next to a window. Through the window, you see a figure of Adam Taurus unsheathing his sword. You gasp and reel back. Blake runs up to you.

Blake: What is it?

You: I...

You look back outside and sees a tree in the place where Adam stood.

You: (sighs) I was just seeing things. I'm sorry. I still get flashes from that night.

Blake sees your hand shaking uncontrollably before you composes yourself.

Yang: Do you think Adam's still out there?

Blake: I don't know. If he went back to the White Fang there would have been serious consequences. But, he never really liked people telling him what to do. Adam's strong, but his real power comes from control. He used to get in my head, make me feel small. But now I see he just wanted to pull me down to his size.

You look to the two girls

Blake: (grasps your hand) Hey, I'm not leaving. And if we ever see him again, I promise we'll be there.

The three share a smile.

Blake: And I'll protect you.

You smile and hug her. She was surprised and hugs back. Yang smiles and sees the flatbed.

Yang: We're fine. We can hook that flatbed up to Bumblebee in the morning. Should carry everyone. Mission accomplished.

You look to her and slightly smile.

Back inside, Ruby uses her scroll's flashlight to look around. She finds alcholic bottles on the shelves. Weiss uses Myrtenaster to send small flames to light up the candles in the room.

Weiss: There.

The two look around the room. Shelves are full of alcoholic bottles and a bar is seen as well.

Ruby: On second thought, maybe we should keep this room closed.

Weiss: Huh?

Ruby: I'm just... Not sure how well my uncle's taking all of this.

Weiss: Oh.

Ruby: Come on, we'll never get to Atlas on an empty stomach!

Ruby walks forward, though Weiss lingers and sadly looks down. Ruby then opens up another door.

Weiss: Ruby? Are we really still going to Atlas?

Ruby: Why wouldn't we be?

Weiss: I mean... you heard what Jinn said. If there's no way to kill Salem, then what's the point in all of this?

Ruby: Weiss, you can't be serious.

Weiss: (sighs) Sorry, I- I don't know what I'm saying, I'm just really tired and I really, really hate this place. (walks up to enter the room with Ruby) Anything in there?

Ruby turns around and uses her flashlight to look around. She sees more alcoholic bottles arranged on a shelf on the right side of the room.

Ruby: (annoyed) More alcohol... At least we'll never have problems starting a fire.

Weiss: What's that?

The two notice a large, metal cellar door in the ground. Its handles are chained together.

Weiss: A wine cellar? Great.

Ruby then looks up to her left and lets out a yelp before zooming over.

Weiss: What? What is it?

Ruby: Food!

Ruby holds out a can that says "THREE BROS. BEANS: SHRIMP FLAVORED, EXTRA SODIUM".

Weiss: (incredulous) Canned food?

Ruby: Oh trust me, you put enough salt on anything, and it will taste juuust fine.

Weiss: Well, I guess it's better than nothing.

The two share a smile. Weiss walks over and helps Ruby grab a few cans of food.

Weiss: But I still seriously hate this place...

The two then walk out of the room. Unbeknownst to them, the metal cellar door opens slightly, before shutting again with a startling bang...

(In Vacuo)

You were going through the halls of Shade Academy. You then see Nebula looking around the corner before sneaking back. You go over and around but she was gone.

You: Nebula?

She comes out from behind a crack in the walls.

Nebula: so you saw me

You: it was hard to miss, why are you hiding from me.

Nebula: I'm not hiding from you

You: Nebula, please it's obvious.

Nebula: oh fine, it's just I and my team have developed very strong feelings and I was chosen to-

You: express them

Nebula then slumps a little.

You: well I accept and if it makes you less worried I'm in an open relationship.

Nebula: really?

You: really.

You said rubbing her cheek. You then pass her with a wink, behind you she does a victory dance and rushes to her dorm you mearly shake your head with a smile.
