Scene shows the rain, as Ruby and Yang ran to the hospital, they arrived panting looking around for a doctor.

Tai: Ruby! Yang!

They look and saw Tai, as the two run towards him hugging him.

Ruby: Where's mom?!

Scene changes to Ruby, Tai and Yang seated since they were operating her. Ruby and Yang had they're heads in Tai's shoulders with Ruby having dry tears as well as Yang. They heard steps and saw the messed up Qrow.

Ruby/Yang: Uncle Qrow!

They were going to get up but he puts his hand in front stopping them, he drunkly leans to a wall drunk.

Qrow: How's Summer?

Tai: In... operation... Qrow what the hell is going on?!

Qrow: We're being targeted.

Tai: What?! By who?!

Qrow: Red Hood... he's targeting us.

Tai: Why us? Why not the criminals? And even if he is a killer, he hasn't killed a single Huntsman!

Qrow: He is hunting us... only us, not Goodwitch, or Ozpin, or even the newbies, us.

Tai: Why?!

Qrow: Because of F/N. *Ruby and Yang hear that name and look in shock* He is hunting is because of our failure to F/N.

Tai: That was a decade ago! Why now?!

Qrow: I don't know, but he is a dangerous person, his skill is already on par with me and he is physically stronger, he knows about me and my luck.

Ruby: Luck?

Tai: Tell you later. What else?

Qrow: His knife is unique... that knife he used... he was either trained by The Cult of Assassins or even Raven.

Tai: So Red Hood is someone who was trained under Raven's hand? She left and she trains someone to kill us?!

Qrow: Sadly... yeah.

The doctor walks out looking at both Qrow and Tai.

Doctor: Taiyang Xiao Long?

Tai: Mhm?

Doctor: The procedure was successful... although she has received almost life threatening injuries.

Tai: W-What does she have?

Doctor: Broken arms, broken leg, her nose and clavicle was also broken and... her skull as well.

Tai: S-S-So...

Doctor: She will have problems remembering at first what happened but I assure you is only temporary the small amnesia, give her 2 months and she'll have her brain to the fullest... although...

Tai: Although what?!

Doctor: She has been diagnosed with PTSD and anxiety disorder... you should spend as most time with her, to make sure she feels safe.

Tai: Ok... thank you doctor.

The doctor walks away with Qrow as well.

Tai: Where you going?

Qrow: Drink... again.

Tai: Won't you help us, help me to get Red Hood?! He is a lunatic! He just-

Qrow: YOU WANT ME TO HELP YOU?!!! THE GUY WHO NOT ONLY KILLED MY SON BUT PUSHED HIM TO THE LIMIT?!!! THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT?!!!

Tai stays quiet, as Ruby goes towards him grabbing his hand as she showed tears to him.

Ruby: Please Uncle Qrow... help us.

Qrow: No... not after the stunt you pulled with Yang, you lost my trust, your right to call me uncle the moment he died... monsters.

Qrow walks away angry as the three look at each other and Tai sits back down with Ruby kneeling just to earn a hug from Yang from her back crying. She has been called monster a decade ago, and coming from Qrow still hurts, cause the worst thing, is that he isn't lying.

Timeskip

Y/N takes his Red Hood costume off staying with some joggers, as he finds the note with Aryl's number, and goes to put it though hesitating. Did Y/N really wanted to get closer to her? She already had a nice life, she in his could both make her life worse and make his life harder with tons of reasons he can't even say... for the first time since Essence he was scared to get along with a girl not the sister way, the other way. He hesitates but he does call her with him actually tapping the floor.

Aryl: *scroll* Hello?

Y/N: Ary, it's F/N?

Aryl: *scroll* F/N?! Oh thank god you called, didn't think you would call me.

Y/N: Yeah, I don't leave girls hanging. So why did you want to call me?

Aryl: *scroll* Oh pfft I just wanted to see if this was your number.

Y/N: Yeaaaaah I don't buy that. Just tell me what you want to say.

Aryl: *scroll and stuttering* I-I... w-well I wanted tooooooooo... mmmmmmm... I just wanted toooooooo... *sighs* I just wanted to ask you if you want to go to a party with me.

Y/N: What?

Aryl: *scroll* Umm... is just that there's a party I'm going with a few friends, and well... I had an extra ticket, and I wanted to... ask you.

Y/N: Um... w-where?

Aryl: *scroll* Um... in a dance club, is called Edge, is easy to find, expensive but me and my friends got tickets, and... yeah. Are you... going?

Y/N: When is that?

Aryl: *scroll* Tomorrow at 7pm.

Y/N: Then... *sighs* ok I'll go.

Aryl: *scroll* Great, see you tomorrow.

Y/N: Yeah... see you later.

He ends the call as he puts his hands in his face panting.

Y/N: What am I doing?

He looks at the news and sees that he was again on news.

Cyril: We got news over the new attack of Red Hood, seems the victim of his newest attack was shockingly Professional Huntress Summer Rose. *scene shows Raven and her tribe hearing it* She was attacked by Red Hood and left in a injured almost dead state, from a broken arm to a skull.

Raven: F/N what have you gotten yourself into.

Cyril: Reports confirm that they searched a house and they found a 4th room, apart from her and her kids, there was a 4th room filled with stuff, with this we have new rumors if Summer had a 3rd child, if she did, where is it? Summer what aren't you telling us?

Y/N turns the TV off and sighs.

Y/N: I think I revealed too much of myself.

He lays in his bed sighing and goes to sleep.

Timeskip

Y/N was leaning by a wall looking to the sky sighing, he heard steps and saw Aryl with her bag pack but had a hoodie hiding her hair.

Y/N: Why are you hiding your hair?

Aryl: Well when you called me... I was dying my hair a bit.

Y/N: Why am I not surprised, why not show it?

Aryl: Well... I wanted to show it later but I guess you can see it.

She lowers her hoodie and shows her hair to Y/N which was now a brown almost black color with purple tips.

Aryl: So?

Y/N: Umm... is... no comment.

Aryl: In a good way, right?

Y/N: Mhm, just... that I have nothing to say, is just... your hair does look nice. God that's something I don't say.

Aryl: *blushes* Oh... thanks for the compliment.

Y/N: Is a one time thing, don't expect a lot of compliments from me.

Aryl: I don't. So you're actually going?

Y/N: Well... this is new to me so it wouldn't be bad to try. Though I think something is fishy with all this.

Aryl: You'll be fine... trust me.

Y/N: I hope.

Aryl puts her hoodie back and they walk away. Aryl looks at Y/N and saw him reading the news report, just to manage catch the name Red Hood in the news.

Aryl: Scared of Red Hood?

Y/N: No... you?

Aryl: Well... a little.

Y/N: What do you think of it?

Aryl: Think about what?

Y/N: About how he works, how he plays his cards.

Aryl: Being honest... I don't know, I'm up two minds, 50/50 opinion. In one side, I'm scared that if I do something wrong, he gets me now that he attacked Summer Rose but not killed her, and in the other side, because of him crime has gone down a lot, the criminals are more afraid of him than Torchwick.

Y/N: I feel the same way.

Aryl: But I think something is missing, Red Hood hasn't attacked Huntsman unless they come to him, but this time he attacked Summer.

Y/N: Maybe he has gone nuts.

Aryl: Maybe, or about the rumor of a 3rd child. What if Summer did something so bad that provoked Red Hood to come to her?

Y/N: That's... quite a guess.

Aryl: I got lots of tricks, I am incredibly smart, I can sing, write music lyrics, dye hair incredibly well, mom even calls me a detective, I figure everything right away, and did learn a bit of Karate thanks to dad, he was a Black Belt Karate Master to a few Huntsman.

Y/N: What happened to him?

Aryl: He passed the mantle to my older brother.

Y/N: You're jealous?

Aryl: At first yeah, but later he gave me a good reason.

Y/N: Which is?

Aryl: He could see my specialty with music and decided to help me find my music style and with some instruments with mom, it's actually thanks to him I'm right here.

Y/N: *smiles but looks down* He sounds like a good man.

Aryl: Hey... is something wrong?

Y/N: Well... just that I didn't have a good father if you ask me, and no is not jealousy, more like I feel left out.

Aryl: Oh... w-what happened?

Y/N: He left me and abandoned me with another family you can say they weren't very good.

Aryl: Oh... sorry.

Y/N: Is ok... but kind of glad you did find your place in the world.

Aryl: But you have right?

Y/N: No... and I don't think I will.

Aryl: *looks away and whispers* This took a dark turn. *looks back* So those little scars in your face... was that... your parents?

Y/N: The one in my left eyebrow... yeah, also I saw that one of my bones were never set right, in my hip joint.

Aryl: Why did this happen to you?

Y/N: I don't know... and I don't care being honest.

Aryl: Well I do care, how did you stop it?

Y/N: I couldn't... I escaped, I became a guy from the streets until I was found and saved by Raven Branwen, she would become in some ways my mother.

Aryl: The member of Team STRQ? Isn't she like... bit evil?

Y/N: She might have been a bit, but she was fair, I owe her everything, she didn't show it a lot of but she considered finding me one of the best moments of her life.

Aryl: So she is a good person?

Y/N: She is tough but... yes. But I can still hear they're voices in my head... calling me worthless... weak and soft.

Aryl: Since when?

Y/N: Since I was 9. Sorry... maybe I shouldn't have-

Aryl hugs Y/N which he looks in shock as she puts her head in his shoulder tightening the grip.

Aryl: You're not worthless to me if you're thinking that... not at all, no one is.

Y/N: I... I hope that's the case.

Aryl looks at Y/N still hugging as she smiles.

Aryl: It is the case, it always has.

Aryl puts both hands in his cheeks, as Y/N hesitates and puts both of his on her cheeks inside the hoodie, he puts his forehead on hers as she smiles not getting her forehead off of him.

Aryl: Kind of like this.

Y/N: *chuckles* You just ruined the moment.

Aryl looks down smiling, as she looks at the clock and separates from Y/N.

Aryl: Ummm... we're kind of late so I say we move.

Y/N: Fine by me.

Aryl starts to walk with Y/N behind her but she looks back after hearing his next words.

Y/N: Thank you Ary.

Aryl: For what actually?

Y/N: I needed to... talk to someone about this.

Aryl: Well your my restaurant customer and friend, anything to help you.

Aryl keeps walking with a smile, as well as Y/N, who he looks down, but smiles again.

Y/N: *mentally* Definitely didn't feel like this with Essence... girls these days are... wow.

Y/N touches his hair tips and smiles.

Y/N: Hey Ary, can you do me a favor after you finish today's University?

Aryl: Well... I don't have to go to work as a waitress so... sure... what do you need.

Y/N touches his hair as Aryl picks up what he wants.

Aryl: Ok... I'm gonna enjoy playing with it.

Y/N: Aaaaand you made it sound inappropriate.

Aryl laughs and pulls Y/N as he had a shocked look.
