Iron Hunter (Iron Man Reader - RWBY Crossover)

An Upgrade

A/N: Hey guys! So I'm finally back with the last chapter of this story until I'm done the Christmas Special!

Yami: You should check it out, it'll be pretty neat! You get to kick some ass as a dragon and get with Weiss! Also, Christmas!

A/N: If you look at the author's note for the special, you'll see my designs for Yami and my new OC, Nika. I'm also working on some designs for more OC's to come! But for now, let's go over this chapter, shall we?

Yami: The idea is simple enough, you and Ruby spend most of the day working on the armor, some fun stuff snuck in, and then a fun cliffhanger to make you all mad when A/N doesn't update the main stories for a month because of a special!

A/N: Too accurate Yami. But accurate none the less. Enjoy!

Y/N's POV

Ruby asked me the other day about making her a new set of armor, and so I decided we'd start today. I gave her a text to meet me in my dorm. Neo was going to hang out with the rest of team RWBY and team JNPR. It was somewhere around noon when Ruby walked in.

Ruby: Hey Y/N! So are we doing the upgrade now!?

Y/N: Nope.

Ruby: What!?

Y/N: No upgrades.

Ruby: But you said-

Y/N: I said a new suit. Not an upgrade. 

Ruby: You're so mean...

Y/N: I know. Anyways, time to get going! We'll start with the weapons.

I asked her about what kinds of weapons or tactical gadgets she'd want on her suit, and oh boy, did she give answers. She had all sorts of crazy ideas for her new arsenal. Sure, some were childish and only put out there jokingly, like a cannon that fires live sharks with laser beams attached to their heads, but some were really quite creative. She had this idea to infuse mixtures of different kinds of Dust into the repulsors for different effects. Like mixing ice and fire Dust for a smokescreen. It was very impressive. She seemed like a professional huntress now, and less like a goofy kid. 

Ruby: And right here, I can have different scythe blades come out of my arms and legs!

A/N: Alright, let's slow down for a second Rubes. November, can you see how much of this we could get away with?

November: Yes sir.

After a moment, November came up with the results. It could be done, but the suit would be a bit bulkier. Not much more than her other suit, but mostly around the limbs. The suit November came up with was very nice. I could tell Ruby was all over it. It looked like it was lightweight armor, with the bulkier, more weaponized areas serving as her main means of defense. (Picture above)

Y/N: You think that'll work?

Ruby: Yes! Just some changes I want to make!

Y/N: Let's hear it.

Ruby: Ok, well, I want the helmet to be more like my other one, but keep the full open face thing. Oh, but it needs to be tinted so no one can see my face!

Y/N: Will do! November, I need you to get to work on throwing that suit together. 

November: Will do!

Y/N: And Ruby.

Ruby: Yeah?

Y/N: You're coming with me.

Ruby's POV

I was confused when he said I was going with him. I didn't have any time to ask him what he meant, before he grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the dorm with him.

Ruby: W-Wait! Where are we going!?

Y/N: Out.

Ruby: Out? Out where?

Y/N looked back at me with a smile before answering with words that stopped my heart.

Y/N: Out on a date!

Timeskip brought to you by A/N contemplating the morality of making a lemon for this story

We were now walking around downtown Vale. It was a really nice day out, and there were quite a few people. The whole way, I was blushing from what Y/N said earlier. We were out on a date! This seemed like something that wouldn't happen to me anytime soon, and yet it did. Y/N held my hand the whole time we walked around. He'd tell me something interesting or funny every now and then, but I was so busy trying to keep my heart in my chest that I couldn't really form a proper sentence.

Y/N: Alright, time for you're choice!

Ruby: H-Huh? M-My choice?

Y/N: Yup! Shopping, or lunch?

Ruby: Uh, well... I-I'm not really big into shopping... s-so lunch sounds nice.

Y/N smiled before pulling me closer to him and walking to a diner. My face probably matched my cloak at this point. We got a seat on the patio, and ordered some drinks. I got a chocolate milkshake and he got a strawberry milkshake. We sat there drinking our sweet drinks in peaceful silence for a few minutes, before Y/N asked me a question.

Y/N: Are you ever gonna say something? You had so much to say a few minutes ago.

Ruby: S-Sorry, I'm just... I'm not really used to this sort of thing...

Y/N: I'm not personally familiar with dates, but I get the gist of it. It's my job here to be the polite gentleman, and your job to have a good time.

Ruby: You're not supposed to have a good time?

Y/N: If the lady has a good time, the man is also having a good time. At least, that's how I understand it.

I blushed when he referred to me as 'lady' and how he seemed to only want me to enjoy myself. I smiled at him as I continued to drink my milkshake.

Ruby: So, what made you want to ask me out?

Y/N: Well, I guess... seeing you so mature and childish at the same time so much. Plus, we've being spending a lot of time together since...

Ruby: Since what?

Y/N: Since the rooftop incident.

A dark red warmth spread across my face as I remembered that night a few months ago where we almost kissed. I saw Y/N look at me with eyes that said he could tell what I was thinking about.

Y/N: If you want, we could try again?

Ruby: T-T-Try again? Y-You mean...

Y/N: Yeah, we are on a date after all.

Ruby: W-Well... I guess it couldn't hurt...

I looked away slightly as Y/N leaned across the table and got closer to my face. I leaned in too and we got within an inch of each other before the sound of large engines filled the air. We broke away and looked up, seeing an Atlas Bullhead flying in low.

Y/N: *sigh* Always when it matters most... I guess that's for me.

Ruby: That's what Jacques sent to get your suits?

Y/N: Yeah. Probably.

Ruby: Wow... He's gonna need bigger ships.

Y/N: Damn right Rubes.

A/N: Hey! Thanks for reading! Haha! You though I'd just let you kiss like that!? Fools!

Yami: A/N here likes to set the right mood before the kiss. Well, except for the Dark Souls story.

A/N: It was moving slowly and people were all for a lemon! I'm Sorry! Here, next chapter you can make out all you want with Ruby! And in my Spider Man story, you can kiss Blake soon too... then you can bone her if you so desire...

Yami: You really have lost all your shame, haven't you?

A/N: If other people like it, you learn to like it more. 

Yami: You really just like writing lemons don't you?

A/N: Hehe... uh... maybe? Signing off!
