"Answers come at a price. Are you willing to pay them?" I asked her.

"What do you want?" she asked not to back down.

Without saying anything I pointed at her with my hands covered in black gloves.

"W-What me? What could I give you?" she said, startled.

"If I was someone worse I would want more, but I only want your trust. Your power... your help." I said knowing that she probably doesn't understand what I meant by more. Could have asked for her everything.

Probably would have died soon after though.

"I think I understand. Do you have a team you want me to join?" she asked, still a little confused.

"Yes, I don't consider them a team though. They are more of a family. This is a permanent thing though. No leaving after getting what you want." I said not wanting to give her an out.

"I-If you tell me the information I want... I'll join. As long as I can still see my sister," she said.

"Don't worry about her. Your sister should be joining as well." I told her seeing her look at me in worry and reaching toward her back.

Noticing she doesn't have her scythe. She started getting scared now. Still showing some anger and sadness though. Waving my hand a black portal opened up dropping her scythe in front of her.

Picking it up she activated it.

"If I was an enemy, I wouldn't have given your weapon to you. Even if it would do nothing. Your sister is safe." I told her. "She should be having a conversation with her mother about now."

Ruby seemed to consider my information before putting her weapon away.

"You wanted to know who murdered your mother?" I asked rhetorically. "First look out over this cliff."

Ruby walked up to my side and looked out over the cliff we were on seeing the battlefield her mother left behind.

"It looks like a battlefield," Ruby said.

"Precisely. It was your mother's." I told her with a shocked look.

"My mom wasn't this strong. Her semblance can't cause explosions or turn Grimm to stone," she said in denial.

"This was no semblance. It was magic. Like the portal, you walked through. Your mother was the Summer Maiden." I said not giving her time to say anything I continued. "A being with amazing potential for magic. Stronger toward the aspect of Summer. So, heat. Along with having silver eyes that can turn Grimm to stone. These were her true powers."

"If she was so strong these Grimm wouldn't have stood a chance," Ruby said.

"A person fearing that she would get taken by the person who lives in the castle not far from here. Drugged her and sent her on a suicide mission. All with the purpose of killing her." I told her and not saying names quite yet.

"STOP BEATING AROUND THE BUSH AND TELL ME WHO KILLED HER!" Ruby yelled in anger.

"He was the one who allowed you to fulfill your dreams. Go to school with your sister. Make friends you wish to keep. All with the story that he saw you had potential. However, all because he noticed one thing. 'Ruby Rose, you have silver eyes,'" I said to Ruby, watching the realization occur to her.

"No... No... you're lying. He wouldn't... no, I don't have a reason to do that." Ruby said in denial, backing up from me.

"I told you the truth. Now say it who killed your mother?" I asked her to walk toward her.

"He didn't do it. I trust him over you." Ruby said, still in denial.

"Ruby stop!" I yelled at her.

"No, you are trying to trick me, my mother isn't dead. She is alive. I will find her. You can't stop me-" She started saying, taking one step too many, falling backward off the cliff.

Without a moment's hesitation, I lunged toward her, missing her by an inch. Not thinking I dived after her.

Ruby was screaming while I reached my hand out to her trying to grab her.

"Grab my hand!" I yelled.

She wasn't listening.

Putting my arms to my side I started diving faster toward her. Once I got into arms I grabbed her. Flipping over I held her close to my chest, taking the impact for us both.

When we hit the ground even with my immortal body I felt all of the damage. Many bones broke in my body, ribs broke causing my lungs to get impaled with bones and blood shot out of my mouth.

"I'm an idiot. I could have saved you without jumping off." I said only realizing after the fact could have just used Warp Gate or even Perfect Cube.

"Y-You saved me? Why?" Ruby said in tears.

"I told you. I want your trust, your power, your help, and for you to become a member of my family." I told her I was still feeling my body healing.

"Who are you anyway? Why do you do this for me?" she asked me to push herself up with her hands with my chest. Causing slight pain. I didn't say anything though.

"I kind of thought it was obvious. Who else would care about their family so much?" I said with a laugh.

Ruby looked to be thinking. She tried looking under my hood but only saw darkness. Still sitting on me she started reaching for my hood. To not freak her out I used my inventory to put my hollow mask away.

When she pulled my hood back she looked shocked to see me.

"Surprise. Yeah, the one who is really a monster only wanted to help." I said with a laugh.

"If you wouldn't have been all cryptic and showed me who you were. I wouldn't have been so on guard." She said to me with a pout causing me to chuckle.

"I don't get a lot of chances to be cryptic and it's fun," I told her. "Anyways, do you trust me now?"
