Reaper Of Remnant Volume 2 (A RWBY Fanfic)

39.

Circe and Reaper appear in front of Saphron and Terra's house in Argus at nighttime. Reaper is soaking wet while Circe is laughing hysterically.

Circe: You should have teleported a bit higher than you did.

Reaper: Shut up...

Circe: I mean seriously, you do this all the time! How to you mess that up?!

Reaper: Circe...

Reaper shakes himself like a dog to quickly dry up. Circe giggles when some of the water flies at her as she covers herself with her cloak. The two walk up the stairs and open the door to the house quietly and step inside to see the whole gang looking at Qrow, who's standing on the stairs.

Qrow: -I'm glad you kids worked out, uh, whatever all that was. But the fact is, we're not a single step closer to Atlas.

Jaune: Actually, I think I have an idea. But... it's sort of a "no-going-back" kind of idea.

Ruby: Well, let's hear it.

Jaune: With Cordo on watch, only Atlas airships have the clearance to leave for Solitas. So... we... steal an Atlas airship.

He nervously shrugs at his last statement. Everyone gets shocked looks on their faces. Adrian giggles in Maria's arm. Circe starts to laugh before Reaper clears his throat, getting everyone's attention.

Reaper: There's no need to steal from Atlas as we just talked with Ironwood into ordering Cordovin to let us through.

Ruby: Wait, when did you guys go to Atlas?? I thought you were just out for a walk!

Reaper looks at Weiss.

Reaper: Weiss, why didn't you tell them where we were going?

Weiss: uh, I'm sorry, I forgot to say something because soon after you two left Oscar ran off and we had to go out and search for him!

Oscar, who's wearing a new outfit, scratches his cheek upon him being called out.

Oscar: Sorry.

Reaper sighs and rubs his eyes.

Reaper: Well, me and Circe teleported over to Atlas to talk with the General so we're good now. You all just...get some dinner.

Oscar: Well you're in luck! I just made us casseroles!

Circe: Yum.

Reaper: I wish I could eat human food...

Reaper sighs from his misery as everyone goes to sit down and eat while Qrow continues walking upstairs. Reaper notices Qrow is a bit wobbly like he drank waaay too much today. Reaper walks up after him. Before Qrow could enter his room, Reaper speaks up.

Reaper: How much did you drink today?

Qrow closes his eyes and sighs.

Qrow: Enough where Ruby and Yang found me passed out by the stairs to the place.

Reaper: How long ago?

Qrow: Not long before you showed up.

Reaper walks over to him.

Reaper: And Oscar apparently ran off while you were drunk. So you were of no help.

Qrow: Hey, I didn't know!

Reaper: Really? Check your scroll.

Qrow does so and when he does, he sighs with his eyes closed.

Reaper: Well?

Qrow: Ruby texted me a few hours ago about it.

Reaper: While you were drunk.

Qrow: Look, I'm sorry.
