Unwanted Son

Behind The Vale Part. 3

Hawke POV:

I-I can't... Aunt Qrow..... Is my mom?

Me: W-what?

Ozpin: Yes indeed, Qrow Branwen is in-fact your mother. And Ms. Rose why are you acting surprised?

I look at Ruby and see her fidgeting in her chair

Ruby: W-well when you find out that kind of information... wouldn't it be better to not be the last to know?

Ozpin: Ah you were trying to protect him?

Ruby: I owe him that.

Ozpin: Hm... Glynda will escort you to a bullhead that will take you back to patch Ms. Rose.

Ruby went to interject but I shoot her a look telling her it was okay

Ruby: 'sigh' Fine

She gets up and leaves but not before giving me a long overdue hug

Ruby: I'm glad I found you

Me: I was never lost...

Was I?

TIMESKIP

Ozpin POV:

Me: I would like for you to join my academy.

I take a sip of my tea and quickly spit it out at what he says

Hawke: No fuckin' way!

Me: I-I beg your pardon!?

Hawke: I'm not an idiot Ozpin... or should I call you Ozma?

I visibly tense at the name.... no-one has called me that in years

Me: H-how?

Hawke: You'd think they would have taken my scroll or something but no... as to how I know so much about you? Well let's just say you haven't been subtle in your endeavors!

Me: But how do you know that name!?

He sits back and chuckles... then that starts to turn into a full blown laugh

Hawke: While you were convincing my little sis to go to your slaughterhouse- I mean prestigious academy, I called in some favors from some info brokers...

Me: What do you want?

Hawke: Oh don't be like that Oz... you aren't a hostage here.

Me: Really? You could have fooled me-

Before I can get another word out the police enter the room and take of his handcuffs

Me: What are you doing!? This is an interrogation!

Chief of Police: I'm releasing an innocent man who also just purchased the entire police department...

I was in shock, I've been outplayed

Hawke: If you try to hurt or manipulate me or my family... It will be the LAST thing you ever do...

And with that he walks away...

I must have him join me

I grab my scroll

?: Hello?

Me: Ironwood? I need your assistance...
