Prologue

(y/n) POV

"(y/n) this is by far my favorite bar in all of Mantle." Qrow said, "Yeah cause I'm the only bartender who tolerates you." I said as I cleaned a glass as three men entered the bar, "Well well, I heard this was a good bar, but I didn't know they employed your kind here." one of the men said, "Don't you know, we have a strict leash law around here." another man said, "Hey that's enough!" Qrow said, "Qrow." I said, "Can I get you, gentlemen, anything?" I asked, "Give me a beer." one of the men said, "Very well, that'll be six lien." I said, "What is this are you trying to rob me?!" the man said, "Not at all sir, the price jumped slightly is all." I said as I handed him a bottle of beer, "Qrow can I interest you in a shot?" I asked, "Yeah." Qrow said as I poured him a shot and cut a lime, as I did I sent a wave of vibrations towards the men and cut the stem of the first man's beer off, "What the?!" the first man said, "Sorry about that, but I have a simple rule here. Everyone who comes through that door is equal. Jacques Schnee could walk through those doors and I would treat him the same way as Qrow here." I said as I handed Qrow his shot, "Anyone who doesn't follow the rules doesn't drink." I said, suddenly the men pulled guns and aimed at me, "Why would we lower ourselves to your level mutt?!" one of the men said as I drew my weapon and aimed at them, "By all means give me an excuse. You'll be on the ground before you could pull the trigger." I said, "QROW!" a woman said angrily as she stormed into the bar and over to Qrow, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! YOU HAVE A JOB TO DO!" She said angrily, "Winter come on the booze helps!" Qrow said as Winter looked back at me, "What's going on here?" She asked, "Oh I'm just dealing with some customers, I'll be with you in a second." I said, "Everyone, drop your weapons this instant!" She said, "Make us!" One of the men said as he aimed at her, but I shot the gun out of his hand, "The three of you should leave. Don't you dare show yourselves around here again." I said coldly as the men left, "I'm so sorry about that, what can I get for you?" I asked as Qrow passed out, "Something strong." Winter said with a sigh, I poured her a glass of bourbon, "How much?" She asked, "This one's on me." I said, "Thank you, but why?" She asked, "You looked like you needed a drink." I said, "You're right, I do need a drink." She said as she took a drink, "I'm just the worst." She said, "Why would you say that?" I asked as I cleaned a glass, "Well for starters, I sent my son away to live with my parents when he was an infant! I barely go visit him because I can't stand my father, and my son's father is a drunken mess!" She said, "Who's his dad?" I asked she pointed at Qrow, "Hugh, I didn't think he had it in him." I said, "That was three years ago. I haven't been with anyone since then." She said, "There's your problem, you are comparing every guy you meet to him and your father. Try going out with someone with and don't compare them to anyone. You might find you like the person you go out with." I said, "Well what about you? Why don't I go out with you?" She said, "Tempting offer, but I don't know you seem like you're not in a good place right now." I said, "So that's a no then?" She said, "Tell you what I'll go out with you if you go visit your son more often." I said, "Tempting offer, I think I'll take it." She said before she got a call, "Hello?" She said, "I see, is he alright?" She asked, "Ok I'll come and get him. Thank you, mother." She said, "I'm sorry but I have to go. My father hit my son and now he's gonna come live with me." She said, "I suppose congratulations are in order. I wish you luck." I said, "Oh don't think I'll let you off the hook that easily. I'll be back for our date." She said before she left. She left a small slip of paper with her number on it for me. "That woman." I said with a slight laugh as I cleaned the last dirty glass.
