I release a small yawn as I lean back in my chair in my room. It had been two and a half weeks since my family and their friends were here in this Equestria, and I was honestly surprised about how easily I was able to get back into my role as Captain for the White Fang.
After Ed, Nat, Sora, Lex and their friends returned to their own worlds we spent the rest of the night relaxing before Ruby, Penny and I headed back to Canterlot for training. Qrow came too, but he was mostly on his own, practicing with his new and enhanced abilities. I still cannot get over the fact he agreed to be turned into a homunculus. That is like taking a bullet for the hell of it.
Anyways, we spent our time in Canterlot training the members of the White Fang in weapon usage and design. I decided Ruby would be teaching them about constructing their own weapons, so each of them would be unique. I also gave in and made blueprints showing the inner workings of firearms for Celestia and Luna. Though the latter has prevented her sister from seeing them after her stunt against my uncle. Who knew Celestia could be so terrifying.
After a week or so of teaching them about the inner workings of weapon designs, every member of the White Fang worked on making their own weapons, with help from us and one another. It went without saying the castle blacksmiths were crowded and busy. But I think it will be worth it. As the weapons were being made, I went over some of the Grimm in greater detail and then we all went over aura and soul usage.
After that we just did our own thing for a couple days, Ruby teaching about the different weapons and their pros and cons, Penny helping them train in their own aura usage, and I in hand-to-hand and firearms combat. All in all, a calmer version of our training compared to the first few weeks when I whipped the soldiers into actually fighting condition.
Now I was back in our shared house, just hanging out in my room and writing down the training schedule for when we go back to Canterlot. I picked up from Penny and Twilight to write down a plan and schedule well before the event in question. And so far I think my plan is all good.
Checking my scroll, I see it is a little after noon, so I decided to go out for a walk. Pyrrha and Oscar are at the schoolhouse today, Ruby is taking a nap in her room and Penny is out on patrol. Qrow is....I am not really sure. I knew he would need some time alone to really get over the fact he can’t get drunk and would have to face whatever he was trying to drown in all that alcohol, so we mostly left him to his own devices. Well, except Ruby, she has been really intent on spending as much of her time as possible with her uncle.
After grabbing my gear and stretching a bit, I took off in a light jog to the town, enjoying the light breeze and cloud cover scheduled today. I am not sure what I was going to do today, but I know that tonight was going to be interesting. After we all got back home from Canterlot the other day, everyone came together to ask a very odd request of me.
Yesterday....
”You guys want to watch your show?” I question in shock, looking over my friends before me.
“That’s right. You said you have up to the end of our battle at Haven saved on your scroll, so I personally want to see what it is you have seen.” Ruby says, the others nodding along with her.
“I’m with the squirt. You said that all the things you know about us beforehand came from this ‘show’, so we wanna see what you know. And hey, it could give us some of our own answers to things we didn’t know about.” Qrow adds.
“Plus Penny and I wish to see what happened to our friends after our....deaths.” Pyrrha says, Penny patting her back. I just scratch the back on my head sheepishly.
“Well, I guess that makes sense, but you have to remember that the show doesn’t just focus on each of you from the outsides. There are flashback episodes, inner monologues, mostly from Weiss, details none of you could have noticed or seen, as well as whole episodes dedicated to other characters.” I blink a couple times as something pops into my head. “Actually, now that I think about it, I should have shown you guys volume four and five already.”
“What do you mean? Why?” Penny question.
“Salem. There are a couple parts of some episodes that focus on her and her pawns.” I could barely see Ozpin’s soul waver, almost like he was flinching.
“Tell me Adam, what do you know about Salem?” The professor requests.
“Not much. There is little I actually know for sure about Salem. All I know is she’s an immortal, she can control the creatures of Grimm, she hates you Ozpin, and she commands respect from her subordinates through fear. Other than that, I am just as in the dark about her past as the rest of you.” I turn to Ruby.
“Also, during the attack on Haven, you used your eyes, right?” She nods. “The reason the eyes seemed to work is because Cinder’s arm, the one she has covered my that long sleeve, is Grimm.”
The others all shoot up in shock and a little confusion. “Say what?”
“I have no idea how they managed it, but Salem somehow turned Cinder’s arm into that of a Grimm’s. She was going to use it to literally suck the magic out of the spring maiden for herself.” The others all lower their heads and think for a moment.
“That is....very concerning.” Penny states.
“That’s...an understatement.” Qrow adds. The others all look to one another before nodding.
“Well, all the more reason to watch our show. It could give us some clues or something.”
****
Eventually I relented and we all agreed we would binge the trailers and volume one tonight after dinner, and then watch the other volumes over the next few days. I also agreed not to spoil anything, while the others would point out any differences from their timeline compared to the show’s timeline.
I was honestly wondering how the others would react to watching their show, seeing themselves from an outsiders perspective rather than being right in the middle of the fight. At the very least, this would make it a very interesting movie night.
Breaking out of my thoughts, I have to move out of the way as I see the element bearers suddenly rush past me and to the library. Confused, I follow after them and make it just in time to see a flash of light in the library. Before anyone could begin speaking, I knocked on the door. There was silence for a second before Spike opened the door.
“Hey Adam.” He says simply, moving aside to let me in. Looking in, I see the element bearers and Celestia and Luna, the latter holding the case that contains the Elements themselves.
“Uh, what’s going on?” I question with more than a little worry. The princess look to one another a sigh, looking to all of us.
“Discord has escaped.”
That one sentence sent the element bearers into a frenzy of worry and panic, while I was just confused.
“How? I thought that the seal on him could only be undone by the elements themselves or from an insane amount of chaos energy.” The others all look to me, clearly wondering how I knew that. “I read a couple of Twi’s reports she left lying around.” I point to one that was just sitting on her desk. The others all look to one another before shaking their heads.
“Well, you are correct. Though, we don’t have any idea how he could have escaped so soon. We didn’t use the elements, nor was there any event recently that could have caused that much chaos to be present.” Celestia says. All of us were silent for a second before we hear a loud smack, and see Spike’s face in his claws.
“I think I know what allowed him to escape.” He deadpans, looking to Celestia. “Your fight with Edward.” All of us go wide eyed at that.
“That’s right. Your fight with Ed was would be more than powerful enough to be considered chaotic, plus my sister casting Fairy Sphere probably didn’t help in the matter as well. Your combined forces were probably more than enough to be felt in Canterlot and allow Discord enough energy to escape.” I explain.
At this revelation, Celestia looked more than a little embarrassed, her sister looking to her with an annoyed glare. After a second though they both coughed into their fists, holding out the box with the Elements.
“Well, that doesn’t matter now. What matters is finding Discord and getting him back in stone. I made sure to case a new protection spell on the elements so that beings with chaos magic wouldn’t be able to get ahold of them.” Celestia states, opening the box and levitating the elements to their bearers.
“Hold on a sec.” I interject as the girls get ready. “Why do we need to imprison Discord again? Ed said that his version is reformed and free in his world. Couldn’t we just do the same thing?”
The others all raise their hands to argue, before pausing and thinking about it.
“Well, I suppose that is one way to do things. I mean, I can see the merit in having someone like Discord on our side, especially with the Grimm running around.” Luna says in thought.
“And I mean, I guess he isn’t really evil per say. He is naturally chaotic, he’s just being himself.” Rarity admits, shuddering as some of memories come back.
“And then there is Screwball. We could ask her for help with this too.” I add, the others but Celestia nodding.
“Screwball? That odd filly that hangs out with the crusaders? How would she be able to help?” the solar mare questions. I turn and open the door, about to head out.
“Well, she is his daughter.” I say with a slight grin, walking out then teleporting away. Looking around, I realized I teleported just outside of the schoolhouse. Perfect timing too, as the bell on the top sounds out for lunch, and the foals all flooding out of the door. I wait for about a minute before I see Pyrrha and Oscar walking out with Cheerilee.
“Hey guys!” The trio turn to me as I walk up.
“Oh, hello Adam. What can we do for you?” Cheerilee questions.
“Have you guys seen Screwball?” The trio nod and point to a tree where the crusaders are all eating their lunch. “Well, I need her help with something, so I need her to cut class for at least a couple hours.”
“Really? Why?” Ozpin questions.
“Um...let’s just say I need her...chaotic expertise, to deal with this problem.” The trio look confused, but nod nonetheless. I smile and head over to the crusaders, hearing them talk about my squad.
“Hey girls.” The quartet look to me.
“Hey Adam.” They respond.
“Hey Screwball, can you come with me for a bit? I need your help dealing with some....chaotic, problems.” I request, the filly tilting her head before nodding.
“Sure thing Adam. Miss Nikos said we would be going over Nevermores later, but I think I got it.” She respond, snapping her fingers and teleporting her lunchbox away. I noticed since becoming friends with the CMC, she has been learning to use her Chaos magic more recreationally.
“Sweet. Let’s go. See you girls later.” I say as the two of us head out. Screwball and I just walk in silence for a bit before we’re nearing the library.
“So, what did you need help with Adam?” She finally questions.
“Your dad escaped.” I respond, Screwball comically face planting into the dirt.
“Say whaaaaat?!” She quietly yells. Not sure how.
“Yeah, our best guess is the duel between my uncle and Celestia was strong enough to allow Discord to break out of his seal. Anyways, our plan is to find him, and reform him, as opposed to turning him back into stone.” I explain, Screwball popping back to her hooves.
“So you need me to help track him down?” She questions with a grin.
“Eeyup. You’re a chaos magic user, so I figure you can help us track down your dad. Plus your his daughter, so he’ll have someone to base off of as a helpful member of society.” I respond with a grin, heading into the library where the girls are all still hanging out.
“About time Adam. Did you get Screwball?” Rainbow question. I just nod and scoot out of the way to let Screwy into the library. She smiles to the element bearers before yelping and teleporting behind me as she sees the princesses. I chuckle sheepishly as they blink owlishly at Screwball.
“Uh, its ok Screwy, Luna knew about you for months. They’re not going to hurt you or anything.” I tell the filly, who slowly peaks out from behind me. She then looks to Celestia and hid behind me again. I look to the solar mare who is slightly glaring at Screwball and cough, the mare seeing my own glare.
“Um, yes. It is nice to meet you Screwball.” She says with a nervous grin. I just roll my eyes and turn to Screwy.
“Alright, do you think you can track down your dad?” I ask, the filly nodding and taking off her propeller cap. She then reached her entire arm into in and shifted around before putting her head into it to look closer, and then pulling out what looks like a metal detector.
“Here we go. My Chaos detector should find daddy in no time at all!” She says with a laugh, putting her hat back on, the propeller spinning quickly. She extended the retraced detractor and hit the button, the sounds of quacks beginning to play like a radar.
“Ok. Looks like he is...this way.” Screwball mutters, looking at the screen and following it with the rest of us behind her. We walked in silence for a few minutes, some of the ponies around looking in confusion at our group, some bowing as the princesses walk by, before the quacking of Screwballs tracking began going berserk before turning into a duck which waddled away.
“Well, it said he is right...” she stopped as we all looking forwards and realized where we were.
“The hell? Why is Discord at my house?” I question, looking at my own house. We suddenly hear loud laughter coming from inside. I look to the others, who shrug and head to the door.
Walking in, I hear what almost sounds like the street fighter background score playing in the living room. Once everyone made it in though, we heard something I didn’t think I’d hear again.
”Soaring Ninja Wins! Total Annihilation!”
“Yes! Eat that Chaos God!” We walk into the living room and see easily the most random thing ever. Ruby Rose, the silver eyes scythe wielder, sitting on a cotton candy couch with a glass of soda, playing video games with Discord on a holo screen attached to the wall.
“Ohahaha! Well done my hooded friend. But I won’t lose the next match!” The draconequus announced, hitting a few buttons on his own scroll as the next match loads.
All of us just stood to the side, watching the impossible as Ruby and Discord mash the buttons on their scrolls and play through their game. I am not sure how long we were standing there, but eventually the next match ended with Discord winning.
“Aw man, I thought I had you.” Ruby whines before noticing all of us. “Oh, hey guys. Um, how long have you been standing there?”
Discord turned to us with a toothy grin. “Why, if it isn’t little Sparkle and her friends. And Lulu and Tia too! Talk about a reunion. And....” he paused as he saw Screwball, the filly looking to him with wide eyes. Discord snapped his eagle talons, the couch going back to normal.
“Um, hey daddy.” She says quietly.
“Hey.” He responds quietly. There was an awkward silence for a couple moments before I sigh loudly.
“Discord I swear to Harmony if you do not hug your daughter right now I will summon my sister and get rid of your magic for a week!” I yell, the draconequus jumping and suddenly clutching his daughter. The others all look to me in slight awe at my scolding.
“How?” Celestia asks simply. I just shrug.
“Big family remember? I know when to show some tough love.” I respond, walking over and sitting next to the chaos god. “So, how long have you been hanging out with Ruby?”
“About an hour. I woke up and almost cut off Discords head.” Ruby answers with a sheepish grin, slowly putting Cresent Rose on the side of the couch.
“Well, I have heard about all this from my petrified prison, and I saw you all when Miss Nikos and Polendina arrived, but I was curious who this little flower was.” He says with a grin, lightly rubbing Screwballs head, the filly’s propeller spinning faster.
“Ah, that explains so much.” Rainbow mutters. I just shrug and see that the last match was the tenth in a row.
I go to add something, before a buzzing and music began to sound out from my pocket. Confused, I take out my scroll and see I have a new text. The others look to me with equal confusion as I unlock my scroll and go to my messages. I am really glad I had my mask on, because my eyes shot wide open at the message.
New Message from: Neo.
Hey Adam. Uh, is that offer for staying at your place still open? I want to see if I can talk with Red.
The others are silent as I send a text back.
I mean, I guess the offer still stands. Where are you. You have to be close to get a signal with my scroll. A second later I get a response.
Train Station. Spending some time in the slightly more advanced and familiar city of Manehatten let me relax and think a bit. And I wanna get all the facts about what happened to Roman before deciding if I want to kill you guys or not.
I chuckle a bit before responding.
You’re welcome to try, but I doubt you’d get very far. Anyways we are kinda in the middle of something, so how about you stop by around say six?
Deal. See you and your friends then. Try not to miss me too much.
I chuckle again as she wrote that, I swear I could just hear her smirking as she wrote that. Closing my scroll, I see that everyone is looking to me with anticipation.
“Well? Who was it?” Twilight questions.
“Well, let’s just say someone else from Remnant arrived here a few weeks back but needed some space to sort some things out. She said she’ll be popping over around six to talk.” I explain, not wanting to tell them who it is yet.
“And you are being cryptic about it why?” Ruby asks.
“Well, let’s just say you two weren’t exactly on the best of terms back in Remnant. But she wants to talk, so she’ll at least be civil before trying to kill us.” I respond with a laugh. The others look to Ruby with a raised brow as she thinks about who it could be before shrugging.
Time flew by for us again as we all just hung out with Discord. While the ponies were very cautious and rather distrusting of the chaos god, Ruby and I actually got along with him pretty well when we mentioned what our occupations were. He actually had a lot of hate for the Grimm, saying that they are nothing but blood thirst, evil monsters, and that’s coming from him! He apparently doesn’t like the whole death thing saying ‘there is nothing else so stagnant, so boring, so....final.’
We mostly spent our time telling Discord about our own adventures, Ruby about some of the things she went through with team RNJR and I when I arrived here in Equestria, and even a few things from back home. Before we even realized it it was nearly five in the evening.
“Well, this has been a very nice time. Maybe I should pop by again some time.” Discord says, twisting himself into a pretzel shape and cracking his bones. The girls that stayed all cringed at that.
“You know, despite how ‘evil’ you’re supposed to be, this was pretty nice.” Rainbow says with a grin, stretching her wings. I nod with her, standing up and stretching myself.
“So Discord. Where are you and Screwball going to stay from now on?” I question.
“Oh my little Screwy and I are going to be living in my old house in the seventh dimension. Don’t worry, I’ll send directions later. It was a pleasure my new friends. Farewell!” He then grabs his daughter, who waves quickly, and begins to fold in on himself before disappearing with a quack. There was silence for a minute before Ruby broke it.
“I like him.”
Rainbow, Fluttershy, Twilight and I laugh at her blunt response before I walk over to the pantry, leaving my mask on the table.
“So, you girls wanna stay for dinner? Could be a good chance to introduce you guys to our new....acquaintance.” I offer, taking out ingredients for dinner.
“Can’t. Princess Celestia wanted me to study the elements a bit more for the next couple days.” Twilight says, putting on her vest.
“Um, I can’t either. I need to get home and feed my animals.” Fluttershy mumbles. I just shrug.
“Oh well, your loss. I can stay though. I haven’t got anything else planned tonight, and I really wanna meet this new person.” Rainbow says, lounging on the recliner. I smile as Ruby sees Twi and Fluttershy out and I get started on dinner. I think a veggie stir fry would be good.
I spent the next half hour to hour in the kitchen as the rest of my housemates eventually made their way in. I had to remind Qrow to take off his shoes of course, but other than that, we all mostly did our own thing. Pyrrha and Ozpin were marking test results in the study, Ruby was teaching Rainbow how to play her video games in the living room and Qrow and Penny were helping me with dinner. It was actually pretty calming, all of us just hanging out in the house. It reminded me of the summers my siblings and I would spend with my grandparents, all of us just helping out around the house.
Before I knew it the food was finished cooking and Penny and I were plating it. Everyone slowly made their way to the table, noticing the empty seat. Rainbow and Ruby had told the others we had a guest, but since they were just as in the dark, they didn’t really mind it.
“So Adam? When is this guest supposed to arrive?” Oscar questions, helping take all the food out. I go to answer, only for there to be a knocking at the door a second later.
“Heh, speak of the devil.” I mutter with a smirk, heading to the door. Opening it up, I look down to a familiar earth pony with a cane and umbrella in her hands. I frown slightly and hold out my hand.
“Hand them over Neo. No weapons near the dinner table.” I inform, the disguised human slowly nodding and handing over her weapons. I move aside and let her in, the ‘mare’ taking off her boots before I lead her to the dinner table. The others all look to her with confusion.
“Uh Adam? Didn’t you say she was from Remnant?” Ruby questions, trying to figure out who this mare was. In response I just push the mare forwards a bit and motion to the others with a raised brow. She looks back to me with a light glare before silently sighing.
The others all look in confusion, then shock as the sparkling energy appears at her hooves before moving up, revealing her outfit slowly before ending with the bowler hat on her head. She looks up to my friends with a playful smirk. The others are silent in confusion, I realize they have never seen Neo’s true form, except one.
“NEO?!” Ruby suddenly falls out of her chair as she yells that, Neo silently laughing at Ruby’s misfortune, and her expression as she carefully looks over the table.
“Who’s Neo?” Oscar questions. In response, Neo rolls her eyes and the energy appears again, changing her form into that of the girl she was disguised as during the tournament. That got a response as everyone but Rainbow stood from their chairs and got in fighting stances.
“What the hell?!” Qrow yells. I stand before Neo.
“Calm down all of you. Neo isn’t here to fight.” I inform sternly, the others shocked I am protecting the girl.
“Adam you know what happened! You know what she did!” Pyrrha yells in anger.
“That right, I know what she did. I also know what she was forced to do, what she didn’t want to do, and what she lost. But I only know so much, and you guys know even less than I do. So I invited her here so we can learn just who is Neo Politan, and see if we can’t work together. Trust me,” I look down to the woman behind me with a glare, “she tries anything, I’ll kill her myself.”
That got a flinch from everyone, seeing how serious I was about this. I silently walked over to my seat and sat down, gesturing Neo to the free seat beside me. She slowly nodded, now clearly nervous, and took her own seat. There was a tense silence that followed, before being broken by Penny.
“So Neo. How long have you been in Equestria for?” She question, beginning to eat her food as though there was nothing wrong. Neo took out her scroll and sent me her response.
”About a month or so. I saw you and Adam during your date and decided to lay low for a while. You have no idea how hard it was to avoid that pink earth pony.”
“You mean Pinkie? No wonder she was so hyper lately, she did say there was a new pony in town but she just couldn’t find her.” Rainbow mentions, munching on her own food.
“But...a month? Why haven’t you tried anything against us then?” Ruby questions.
”I needed time to think. I met up with Adam a couple weeks back and he told me-he told me what happened to Roman.”
That response made Ruby go silent. I can tell even she regrets what happened to Roman, and considering how sudden it was, she was clearly caught off guard.
“I...I see.” She mutters quietly. The others look to her with a little worry, Penny reaching over and patting her back. My fellow silver eyed warrior looked to my girlfriend with a thankful smile.
“Hey, how come you’re using your scroll? Can’t you just tell us?” Qrow questions o so eloquently. I glare at him for a second before Neo sighs and undoes her scarf. She then walks over to the kitchen and we hear the tap running for a second. She comes back and takes her seat again, a damp cloth in her hand, and she takes a breath before slowly rubbing the cloth against her neck. We look on in confusion, then horror as a very large scar is shown going across her neck, hidden behind some makeup.
“W-w-what?” Oscar stutters. We all look to the hidden wound in shock and horror before Neo grabs her scroll and begins to write a very, very long answer.
”When I was a kid, maybe around seven or eight years old, I was heading back to my sleeping spot for the night. Incase you guys couldn’t figure it out, I am an orphan. I was abandoned on the streets before I even knew what my parents looked like, and I was scared of going to an orphanage because I have heard bad things about them.
Anyways, I was heading back to my hideout, when I ran into a trio of drunken bastards just wandering around the alleys. I guess they were....lonely, because they ended up coming after me as I ran. I am not sure how long I was running for, before they ended up cornering me. I wasn’t planning on going quietly, so I screamed as loud as I could.
They got annoyed so one of them took out a hunting knife and threatened to slit my throat if I didn’t shut up. I called his bluff and screamed again.”
She paused for a second, absentmindedly rubbing her neck, a distant and terrified look in her eyes.
“He wasn’t bluffing.” Pyrrha mutters, just loud enough for us to hear. Neo nods and takes a couple deep breaths, before noticing the hand on her shoulder. She followed it up to Penny, who was kneeling next to her. She slowly nodded in thanks before texting again.
”I thought if I didn’t die then those monsters would take me away to be their toy but...as luck would have it. Someone showed up and stopped them before they could do anything. I was out of it because of the pain and my blood loss, but I did see a white coat and orange hair.
I was out for two days after that. When I woke up, I found I was in the hospital with bandages over not just my throat, but some small bandages over other parts of my body from small injuries I had from just surviving on the streets. I was confused, who saved me?
I got my answer when he came in with a small vase of flowers. My saviour was the then small time crook, Roman Torchwick. He was walking to his home after a job of his when he heard me scream. Those bastards that slit my throat were apparently feeding some fish at the bottom of a river while I was unconscious.
After that, I learned that while I would survive, my vocal cords were irreversibly damaged, so I would never be able to speak again. But I didn’t care. I had survived like I always do, so I was prepared to be discharged and go back to my hideout.
But that didn’t happen. I learned before I was discharged that Roman somehow got legal custody of me after they found I was a street urchin. He later explained that he saw a lot of potential in me, and he planned on teaching me how to thrive, not just survive. He took me out for some frozen yogurt and even let me wear his hat. Then we robbed the shop.”
She was silently chuckling at the last part, while the rest of us were stunned silent. Roman Torchwick, the con artist of Vale, had saved her when she was a kid.
“Wait a second. How old are you Neo?” Ruby questions.
”I’m nineteen.”
That caused everyone to go wide eyed, looking at the short human.
“What the hell?! You’re older than me!” I yell, Neo looking to me with a tilted head. “I’m eighteen. Well, at least for another couple months.”
“And you’re the same age as the rest of our teams.” Pyrrha adds, going to take another bite of her food, before we all noticed we ate everything.
“Whoa, I didn’t even notice we ate everything.” Rainbow mutters, looking around at all of us. I rub my head for a second before grabbing all the plates with my magic and sending them to the sink. Neo watches all the plates hover by with wide eyes, before texting again.
”No matter how many times I see it, I still can’t believe this place has magic. And you of all people have it too Adam.”
“Well, I’m not the only one.” I inform, Neo looking around curiously. The others smirk and Penny, and Oscar use their own magic to clean the dishes from their seats. Neo’s jaw nearly hits the table, before noticing Pyrrha pouting.
”What’s wrong Pyrrha? You seem jealous.”
“Oh um. Well, I have magic as well, but I haven’t been able to access it. I have been given some advice about how to unlock it, but it doesn’t really help when I don’t even know how to go about it.” She explains. Neo looks to me with a raised brow, but I just shrug. Even after everything, Pyrrha still hasn’t been able to use her magic.
“Well, it was....nice meeting you Neo. I think I’ll head out. You guys have a lot of catching up to do.” Rainbow says, putting on her jacket.
“Please use the door this time, I really don’t wanna repair a window again.” Penny groans, her magic almost slipping. Rainbow blushes and nods sheepishly, heading out the door.
”Do I even want to know?”
“No.” Was the collective response. Neo looked at all of us before shrugging. A few minutes later the dishes were done and we were all gathered in the living room.
“So...we still on for movie night? Discord left the holo screen, so I can connect it to your scroll Adam.” Ruby says. In response, I unlock my scroll and pass it to her. Ruby smiles and begins to go through a couple things on the screen and scroll. Penny quickly writes down her number for Neo, who adds it to her contacts so she can still ask questions.
”So she said movie night. Are you going to be watching some movie from your world Adam?” The others all look to me as I divert my own gaze.
“You didn’t tell her about the show did you?” Qrow questions, frowning at my sheepish grin. He sighs and turns to the short woman. “Well, get ready for a shock Neo. Adam know more about us than I think any of us. And we were going to be watching why.”
Neo just stood blankly at him as Ruby tossed my scroll back, allowing me to go through my downloaded videos and found what we were looking for. As soon as the screen came on, showing the silhouettes team RWBY, Neo turned to me and mouthed one thing.
‘What?’
