"It would be counter productive. Leonus is in on this alone." Raven stated as she folded her arms and looked down. "He's watching me, waiting for me. Soon, He'll send me a message telling me the when and were. He will no longer monitor me as he'll withdraw his spies and prepare for the meeting."
|
"Alright," Yang said before nodding lightly and taking a sip of her drink.
|
"This is all too familiar to me... I am trying to remember his tactics." Raven admitted, her eyes still closed as she thought.
|
"You mean...he did this before?" Amaya asked
|
"His spy ring was vast. He could get someone in almost anywhere." Raven opened her eyes, "He showed me a lot on it."
|
"Did he ever show you how to form one?" Yang asked curiously. If Raven could do that for them...then it would be quite interesting.
|
"I do not have an army at my disposable. If I continued to follow Leonus, Then I'd easily of been able to." She opened up a bit more.
|
"I see. It's almost a shame that you don't have one. Almost" Yang commented.
|
"He was training me to take over his position if anything were to happen to him." Raven took a sip of her tea.
"Wait... You-You never told me this." Blake looked shocked and almost betrayed by that admittion. "It was during a time when we had no contact. And I didn't want to tell you until the time was right. Now was the right time. I had to tell Ozpin about it, due to what I explained to him earlier." |
"You didn't tell me either," Amaya admitted softly.
|
"Our situation was... awkward to bring it up. I wanted to tell you, but the time wasn't ready for me. This is huge and has many implications that I had to sort through in my head."
|
"Alright..." both Blake and Amaya said at the same time.
|
"I shouldn't of hid it for this long, but what matters is that I am telling you now. It would of been worse if I had hidden it from you till the moment we faced him."
|
"Three angry females all after you, plus this Leonus guy? Yeah, you'd be in big trouble at that point Raven," Yang replied. "So...I take it we just wait until he comes with another letter telling you time and place?" she asked.
|
"That's the gist of it." Raven nodded before seeing the waitress come over. She asked if they wanted refilled before she said something that caused Raven to almost lock up.
"I was asked by a gentleman to bring this letter to a Ms. Rosewood. The gentleman didn't leave a name but he thought he saw her up here. You ladies are the only four on the terrace." The waitress looked between the four. Raven was tensing, whoever it was wouldn't of heard their conversation but they saw her come in here. Damnit and to use her old name like this. They were messing with her, trying to get her to slip. She couldn't speak right away as she motioned as calmly as she could while freaking out, waiting for the waitress to leave before the panic showed on her face. |
Amaya quickly reached over and grabbed her girlfriend's hand, squeezing it. "It's going to be okay love," she whispered softly, trying to help Raven calm down.
Yang clenched her fist at seeing how just mentioning her former last name caused to lock her up, making her wonder how bad Leon actually was. Then again, she only had what Raven told her. Feeling Blake also getting angry at this, she did the best that she could to help her girlfriend calm down. |
"They are letting me know they are watching me." She said softly as she glanced at the letter. She made a quick motion to rip it out to read it.
'Dear Rachel I hope this letter finds you well..." Raven could read the sarcasm. "... I have heard you might be getting the all clear soon. I hope you remember what that means. I shall give you one week from that day before my next letter. Just know, I have my eyes on you. And tell Blake we said 'hello'. We do very much miss her. If this meeting doesn't go very well, I must remind you that we have spots at one of our clubs that needs filling. Leonus" As soon as Raven read that her hand crushed the note. "B-bastard." She was getting furious. |
"No. No no no no..." Blake muttered softly, repeating the one word over and over again. She had a feeling Leonus meant Adam when he said 'we' in the letter...
"Blake?" Yang asked softly, trying to get her back into the present. When that didn't work, she tried calling Blake again. "Kitty?" she asked, hoping it would do something to help... |
"Kitten." Raven said almost in a commanding tone, trying to get her attention. As soon as Blake locked eyes with her. "He's trying to scare us. Don't fall into the trap." She was scared, but was going to fight throgh it as hard as possible. She wasn't going to let his tactics win.
|
Blake sighed lightly once she calmed down. "Sorry..." she said softly.
|
"We don't know if that's just a trick. or a play to get you to panic or slip up." Raven admitted before finishing her tea.
|
Blake nodded before taking another sip of her tea. The soothing liquid doing it's job of calming the cat faunus down lightly. Feeling a light amount of heat coming from her left. Looking to Yang, she saw a look of concern coming from her girlfriend.
|
"You... are a different person when this Adam guy is mentioned..." Yang said with extreme worry in her voice.
|
"He...he terrifies me," Blake said softly as she played with her cup, moving it in a circle within the palm of her hands. "He's...he has hurt me before," she added, not needing to look up to see the look of fury on Raven's face when she said that.
|
"He is scum. His actions towards everyone has been nothing short of barbaric. I'd love to see his smug grin wiped off the face of the remnant. I would gladly do it myself. I would kill that bastard if I had an inch to do it." Raven was clearly pissed off. "And this applies to that bastard Leonus too."
