I woke up in a wooden room, the cabin the town let us use I'm guessing. I was lying in a bed with Grant sitting in a chair next to me, at least I thought it Grant, he looked different. His hair was still in the same style but it was a dark brown and he was actually a little taller, and his eyes were green too.

"Grant?" I asked.

He smiled, "I barely recognize you too."

I looked at him funny then ran into the bathroom. My hair was brown and shaggy again and I had green eyes, my wolf ears gone.

"We are still faunus though." Grant said, "I guess we always were."

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"We have reverted to ourselves from earth but we still have our faunus abilities and semblances." He explained.

I nodded and looked at myself for a moment, "Where's Weiss?"

"In the master bedroom with Ruby unconscious." He said.

I started for the door.

"There's no point, you can't-" Grant started but I cut him off.

"I need to make things right." I told him before I left the room.

I walked across the small house to the master bedroom but yang blocked my path.

"Alex!" Yang hugged me, "You're ok!"

"You're not mad that I..." I couldn't finish my sentence.

Yang let a few tears fall from her cheeks as she looked at me, "No, we all know it wasn't really you. Besides, you stopped him from finishing Weiss and my sister off."

"I need to see Weiss and speak to Ruby." I got right to the point, "And you need to talk to Grant."

"But-"

I shook my head, "Trust me."

Yang studied me for a moment before moving around me and walked to the living room.

Taking a deep breath I knocked on the door.

"Come in." I heard Ruby's voice say from the other side of the door.

I walked in the door and saw Weiss wearing one of Ruby's tank tops and could see that she had bandaged wrapped around her chest and stomach and around her right hand. Ruby was wearing dark grey tank top and a black hoodie. She also had on some black shorts with a red trim, bandages wrapped around both her legs and her left forearm. Her cloak was on the chair she was sitting on and crutches leaning against the wall next to her.

I frowned, looking at my feet "Hey Ruby."

She looked towards me, "Hey Alex."

The usual upbeat tone she usually had was almost non-existent.

"I'll leave you two alone." She said as she went to get up.

I put my hand on her shoulder to stop her, "No, stay, I need to talk to you anyway."

She nodded and sat back down.

I looked at Weiss then at Ruby who had a deep frown on her faces as she studied Weiss's features like she was never going to see them again.

"I'm so sorry Ruby. I should have told you guys sooner." I said.

"Yeah you should have." Ruby said coldly, "but I also can see why you didn't. Besides, there was nothing we could have done to help you."

"Aren't you mad at me?" I asked.

She smiled a little, "If Yang isn't mad what makes you think I would be?"

"Cause Weiss is..."

"What do you mean?" She asked, "She's your girlfriend."

"Yeah but she should be yours." I said quickly.

Ruby looked at me with her cheeks turning red, "B-but I'm not-"

"Gay?" I asked. "C'mon Ruby, you have never looked at guys like you look at Weiss! Grant noticed, I noticed and your sister definitely noticed. I know you know. Why do you hide it? You could have been dating Weiss before you found me in those woods."

Ruby bit her lip and leaned back in her chair, "I guess I was scared. I was picked on a lot in signal and I guess I didn't want Weiss to reject me and not go near me."

"That would have never happened. When I got here I messed up all of your timelines. I was there when you should have been. You guys should have always been together." I explained.

Ruby looked like she was going to cry, "You can't know that for sure."

"I do for two reasons;" I replied, "One, Lately Weiss and I have been growing apart we just seem to be repelling each other. Two, I saw how close Weiss stuck to you when we were fighting you. You were stuck like glue."

Ruby was so focused on me she didn't see Weiss open her eyes so, I wanted her to tell me how she felt so Weiss would hear.

"Yeah, right!" She said, "Like she'd be interested in someone like me! She constantly calls me a dolt and a child! Didn't she tell you she tried to change teams because of me?! NO! And the only reason I do is because Ozpin told me! She hates me!"

"But you still like her!" I countered, "You made sure she didn't go into that cave! You put yourself between her and Next when she was hurt!"

"Anyone would have done that!" She yelled.

"Yang was closer!" I said.

Ruby looked towards the door like she wanted to run but couldn't. She whipped the tears off her face.

She spoke in a normal speaking voice, "She's hurt me so much emotionally already, I don't think I can handle anymore Alex. I don't know why I still even like her."

"Ruby," I asked, "When was the last time she did anything like that."

She thought for a minute, tears sliding down her cheeks, "Before you disappeared. After that...Nothing."

Ruby grabbed her crutches and headed for the door.

"Ruby!" I demanded.

"I care about her too much to lose her forever! I don't want to get hurt!" Ruby yelled the last part as she swung around to look at me but she noticed Weiss was awake, staring at Ruby in pure shock.

"Weiss." She said softly.

Ruby looked at the floor and left the room quickly.

Weiss tried to get up and go after her but I handed her a glass of water.

"Thank god you're ok." I said, "But you can't get up yet, I'll go after her."

Weiss nodded as I left the room and told Blake that Weiss was awake.

I sniffed the air and located Ruby's scent. She was fast, even on crutches. I followed the scent all the way into the village and into the center of town where she was sitting on edge of a large fountain with her hood up. Her hands were covering her face and I hear the faint sound of her sobs as I walked over to her.

"Ruby..."I said.

"No it's not." She mumbled, "She hates me."

"I'm sorry," I frowned, "I just thought if she heard you..."

"You did it on purpose!" She yelled, getting up as she winced in pain.

"Yes but I thought-"

Ruby ran forward and rammed into me with her shoulder, "You jerk! Agh!"

She hit the ground hitting her head on a rock then gripping her leg. I could see blood seeping through the bandages on her right calf and from the new wound on her head.

"Ruby!" I tried to reach her but she pushed me away.

"I tore my stitches." She said, "I don't want your help."

"She doesn't hate you!" I said angrily, now irritated at her stubbornness.

"How do you know?" She yelled at me.

"Because I had to stop her from coming after you!" I yelled back.

She looked back at me with a considerable less angry look on her face but said nothing. She gripped her head, obviously feeling the small concussion coming.

"Can I please help you now?!" I yelled.

Ruby nodded painfully as she whimpered when I picked her up the grabbed her crutches.

It took her about two seconds to pass out from the concussion but I knew she'd be fine. Once we made it back Yang looked over to us and turned white.

"What happened?" Yang asked, taking Ruby and laid her on the couch.

"She tore her stitches." Blake said looking at Ruby's leg. She reached for the first aid kit and worked on the younger teen's leg.

"And got a concussion." I added the looked back at me awaiting my tale of how this happened, "She ran over to punch me and when her stitches ripped she fell over and hit her head off a rock. She managed to stay conscious until we finished our argument though."

Blake laughed as I said the last part.

"What's so funny?!" Yang yelled, "My sister's hurt!"

"Oh, don't be dramatic." Blake said, "She'll be alright. I laughed because I owe Weiss twenty lien."

Yang and I raised our eyebrows at Blake.

"Weiss bet me that Ruby was like Yang when she's angry." Blake explained.

"And how am I when I'm angry?" Yang asked crossing her arms over her chest.

"Impulsive, careless, violent..." Blake tells her.

"Don't forget their need to run away and stubbornness." I said suppressing a laugh.

Blake smirked and nodded, "Definitely."

Ruby groaned as she opened her eyes. Yang went over and kneeled down next to her sister while Blake took some food into Weiss.

"How ya feeling sis?" Yang asked.

Ruby groaned, grabbing Yang's right arm and put it over her face, "I have a headache."

"Well you shouldn't have been so careless." Yang said.

"You're the one to talk." Ruby grumbled.

I suppressed a laugh and went into see Weiss.

When Weiss saw me walk in she smiled at me.

"How are you feeling?" I asked.

"Like I have a hole in my stomach." She replied.

I chuckled, "Wow, sarcasm's a good look for you."

Weiss rolled her eyes, "Is Ruby ok?"

"Yeah she's just got a bit of a headache." I told her.

Blake quietly left the room and I sat next to her bed.

Weiss frowned and silently stared at her feet under the blanket.

"It's fine Weiss, it was my fault, I shouldn't have tried to force her into it." I said.

She shook her head, "It's my fault, I should have said something when you two were talking."

"How much did you hear?" I asked curiously.

"Enough. Do you think she hates me?" She asked.

"No and unlike Ruby you ask me if she hates you. She was just adamant that you did." I said.

Weiss sighed, "I don't blame her for thinking that. And I feel horrible for the things I said and did to her, she's the first person to try to be my friend."

I smiled, "It's amazing that she still likes you."

"I don't want to be that person anymore." She confessed.

I nodded, "Then the only thing left do is ask if you like her."

The look in her eyes says it all. I walk over to the door and opened it, revealing the eavesdropping Ruby with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face.

"You two need to talk." I said. As I stepped out of the room and closed the door once Ruby was inside.

Grant was waiting at the end of the hall smiling, "You did a good thing Alex."

I smiled, "They're cute."

He nodded in agreement then spoke, "We need to talk about leaving."

I nodded, "After we get back to Beacon we will talk to Ozpin."

"Ok," Grant said and left.

It was getting late and Yang asked me to get Ruby to come out for food but when I opened the door I smiled. Ruby had her arm over Weiss's shoulder as the white haired girl was snuggled into her chest.

I quietly grabbed yang and we both took pictures of the couple, they are not going to be happy when they look at their scrolls tomorrow.
