Schnee: Hero or Huntress (RWBY/MHA)

Fifteen

Weiss felt her body go numb. She was back in her old room at Beacon? What was going on here? Her eyes darted around the room, taking in the sight of the haphazard bunk beds they had built their first week here. 

"Is everything ok, Weisscream?" Yang said with a smirk. Weiss' eyes frantically met hers. Dressed in an orange tank top with shorts, Yang still had her right arm. "Cat got your tongue?" 

"I take offense to that." Blake added dryly, her amber eyes alternating between the book in her hands and Weiss' sweat covered form. 

"Yaaang! Leave Weiss alone. Can't you see that she had a bad dream." Ruby pouted as she eagerly wrapped her arms around Weiss. "She's finally showing us love!" Ruby buried her head in the crook of Weiss' neck, and where she normally pushed off the younger girl, this time Weiss relished the touch, with her own arms wrapped around her partner numbly.

"W-What happened? Yang! Your arm! Vytal festival, Haven-" Weiss started blurting out, none of the words forming a coherent statement. 

"Did you hit your head or something? Team JNPR won the Vytal festival, remember?" Yang raised an eyebrow. "Jaune won't stop talking about how Team JNPR is the best first year team. Pyrrha just got luck in that last round with that last strike." 

"Pyrrha's alive?" Weiss croaked as Ruby snuggled closer. The three other girls gave Weiss confused looks. 

"Of course she is. She's not called the 'Invincible Girl' for nothing you know." Blake said, placing the book in her lap. That wasn't possible! Pyrrha died during the Battle of Beacon, her body turned into nothing more than ashes. Weiss had even seen the grand funeral the Nikos family held in her honor. 

"Weiss, are you ok?" Blake's eyes seemed worried now. Why was everyone asking her that? Weiss was perfectly fine, extremely confused, but fine! 

Ruby placed a hand on Weiss' forehead, her silver eyes widening slightly. "Oh no she's burning up! Should we take her to the infirmary?" 

"I'm fine, you dolt!" Weiss blurted out. There was something wrong here, but it felt so right. Prying herself from Ruby's embrace, Weiss already missed the younger girl's touch. 

"And she's back. There's our Ice Queen!" Yang winked. Weiss felt her heart tighten slowly as she felt her legs start to shake. She wanted to hold each of the three girls close and never let them go, but there was something off about this place. 

Yang had her arm, Beacon was still standing, Team JNPR won the Vytal festival, and Pyrrha was still alive- 

Team JNPR's room was literally across the hallway. Jumping up, Weiss stomped towards the door, when she felt Ruby hug her from behind. 

"Don't leave us, Weiss!" She felt a damp spot on her back, her own eyes still tearing up. Weiss paused as her hands touched the cool metal of the doorknob. "Stay here, with us!" 

You're nothing more than a disappointment. 

Staring at the doorknob, Weiss hardened her heart. T-They didn't need her. Opening the door, Weiss stepped out into the hallway, leaving a distraught Ruby behind. The sound of her crying broke Weiss' heart, but it needed to be done. None of this was real, and Team RWBY could survive without their W. They would be stronger without her. 

"Weiss, come back!" Ruby said, staring at Weiss from the door. Feeling her resolve starting to crack, Weiss knocked on Team JNPR's door. There was no answer, but the door creaked open with a small groan. 

"Pyrrha? Jaune?" Weiss took a hesitant step forward, pushing the rest of the door open. The lights were off, and Weiss didn't have Blake's superior vision to see in the dark. "Ren? Nora?" She flicked the lightswitch, and she screamed.
