?!?

"General, Headmaster, Bird."

Aegis said as he watched Ironwood's eye twitch at disrespect, Ozpin just shook his head, and Qrow froze in shock, but as quickly he froze, that quickly he recovered.

Qrow was surprised that the Schnee brat knew about his crow form, but the most surprising was for him to find his twin sister standing behind brat's back as some bodyguard. It was like if Raven wasn't a long time ago proclaimed as a prisoner to Schnee brat.

Ozpin took the sight with a sigh as he feared it, but he lived long enough to know that you can't ever predict anything, even if your semblance was foreknowledge.

But from the three people, Ironwood was not one to take such sight with a closed mouth.

"What does that criminal doing outside of cell?!"

Ironwood asked as he watched Raven smirk, ready to pull out his Due Process to prove his point.

"That isn't your concern general, after all, when I looked into your public criminal database Raven Branwen was not in it."

Aegis said as it came even to him as a surprise to find that Atlas didn't acknowledge the Anima bandits, seeing such act as beneath them.

Aegis was ready to erase her charges in Atlas just to find them nonexistent, and once again, Aegis was baffled at such arrogance bordering with utter stupidity.

"She is still wanted in Vale, Mistral, and Vacuo! That is enough reason for her to be bound and transported to the nearest prison."

Ironwood said as he was about to pull out his weapon just to stop when he felt danger.

"No, it isn't general. After all, it was a council that chose not to cooperate in pursuing interkingdoms criminals."

Aegis said, and once again, Ironwood gritted his teeth as it was the truth, and Aegis did feel with the general in this matter no matter how much he disliked him. After all, Ironwood, Camilla, and Sleet were sole members of the council that wanted to merge the criminal database with other kingdoms just to be shot down by the rest of the council for whatever reasons.

Aegis did pity the general in this matter, but still, it didn't change the fact that Raven was not a criminal by Atlas law.

"James, not now."

Ozpin said as he felt something he dreaded when he looked at Raven in more depth.

Qrow felt it too; even if he and his sister get their magic from Ozpin that gave them the option to change into avian form, Qrow was able to hone skills into sensing magic when he was near one.

Qrow knew about Oz magic, it had an old, almost ancient feeling, the ones he and Raven get were young, but now Qrow could feel both young and old magic merged into one in Raven no matter how strange that sounded.

Qrow suddenly looked at Raven in dread, same as Ozpin as Raven gave them a wink with her eyes flashing.

"Fuck me."

Qrow said as he pulled out his flask and gulped its content.

"What have you done, Raven."

Ozpin said quietly in a sorrowful tone. Ironwood just quirked his eyebrow at them, but when Qrow shook his head in denial and Ozpin just kept quiet, he looked back at Aegis, who had enough of this.

"So, will you tell me why you were so adamant at meeting me? And let me ask you what Atlas General and Atlas Headmaster, Vale Beacon Headmaster, and infamous drunk huntsman wished to speak with me."

Aegis asked as he watched them as Ozpin sighed.

"Mr.Schnee, first, I want to ask you if Raven needs to be there and if you know about how dangerous she is."

Ozpin said, hoping to make Aegis doubtful of Raven's intentions.

"Hm? Yes, she needs to as she is my new bodyguard? And fear her? Why? Im the one who pays her."

Aegis lied to them with an easy-going smile.

"I see."

Ozpin said and continued.

"Did Raven perhaps tell you about her powers?"

Ozpin probed and watched as Aegis lifted one of his eyebrows.

"Powers? Do you mean her teleportation semblance and the fact she can change into a bird?"

Aegis asked as both Raven and Qrow's eyebrows twitched at the bird comment.

Aegis was not planning to make it easy for them any time soon.

"No, but never mind, before we started I wanted to ask you if you will join huntsmen academy, after all, you will be soon seventeen years old and from what I heard you are a talented hunter, Im sure you would by promising huntsmen."

Ozpin asked, and Aegis just looked at him as an on some rare zoo animal.

"Headmaster, I don't know if anybody tells you, but."

Aegis said as he continued.

"Im head of SDC family. I do not think I have time to play hero when I have a duty to uphold."

Aegis said and looked at Ozpin, who wanted to continue, but Aegis beat him in it."

"Not speaking about the fact that as a huntsman, I would save tens of people, but as SDC head, I could save millions."

Aegis said, and Ozpin just nodded.

"I see, pity but not an unexpected one."

As Aegis started to speak with Ironwood and Ozpin about different things, Qrow moved at Raven to come to speak to him.

Raven, who was interested in what her drunkard brother wanted, came closer to him.

"So, how are you, brother."

Raven asked with a smirk.

"Good, good, but it seems not good enough when you are the one with Maiden magic; tell me what poor girl you killed to get it?"

Qrow asked his sister, who just smiled at him.

"A weakling who other? That girl didn't deserve such power. At least I gave her quick death, no like most others."

Raven said.

"Hmmm, and what about that collar thing? Did you found a new fetish? did you transferred from sadist to masochist, or did your daddy tell you to wear it?"

Qrow said mockingly, and Raven just squeezed her fist, imitating of amputating Qrow genitals.

Qrow just bowed to her with a smirk as Raven was ready to teach her brother the lesson he wouldn't forget.

"Enough, you two are acting like children and not like adults you are."
