A Running Summer Au Ruby And Summer Meet Like Yang And Raven Met In Canon

“Mom!” 

Summer dropped from a tree branch and smiled a bit at her daughter. “Ruby, you’ve finally come to me.” 

“I’ve come for answers, not for you,” Ruby answered as she made her way closer to Summer. “Uncle Qrow told me you were out here.” 

Summer’s smile dropped as she managed to get a better look at her daughter. Her left arm had been replaced with a mechanical prosthetic painted in black and green, scars lined her face and neck, and silver eyes now looked more like a dulled gray, youthful optimism no longer shining through. “Answers, huh? Just… answers? I thought it was about time for you to want to be with me. Where we can be safe.” 

“I dont want to be safe, I want to know why you left! Why you couldnt stay home and instead watched me from afar! I know you’ve been following me.” 

“Of course you’re just like them…” Summer sighed and motioned for Ruby to follow her deeper into the forest. “If you want answers, then you have to humor me and spend a little time with me. I want to get to know my daughter-” 

“You could’ve gotten to know me by staying with us!” Ruby said angrily as she followed Summer. “What’s so important that you had to stay away from all of us? Yang is out who knows where with Jaune, Ren, and Nora. I lost an arm when Beacon fell! Does any of that even matter to you?” 

“Of course it all matters, I had to stay away for you all to be safe!” Summer quickly turned towards Ruby as she yelled, wisps of silver flame rolling off the edges of her eyes for a brief moment. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then continued walking to a small hut in the forest. “I needed to keep you all safe from Salem.” 

“Who?” 

“From what I know, she’s an immortal being who now commands the grimm. Ozpin’s been at war with her for centuries… millennia… At least, that’s the story he told us.” Summer opened the door to the hut and paused at the doorway. “I was hoping I could keep you all from getting involved. However, if Qrow sent you to me, then I dont think you can stay away.” 

Ruby followed Summer into the hut, her prosthetic shaking as she put her hand against the door. “I dont want anything to do with Salem, I just want answers on why Beacon had to fall.” 

“And to get those answers, you have to know who Salem is. She’s the one behind it all.” 

“Why?” 

Summer picked up a tea kettle of water and placed a hand under it, gently heating the water with a little fire. “Sit, eat, rest. I’ll tell you more in the morning.” 

Ruby frowned and folded her arms in front of her chest. “And why cant you tell me now?” 

“Because you’ve had a long day and there’ll be a lot to go over. Besides, whether you know it or not, you’re a target too now. You need to know everything so you can make the right choice.” 

“To abandon my family like you did?” 

Summer shook her head. “To live, or to sacrifice yourself.”

Tired of “oh Percy would be a marine biologist” “oh Percy would be a teacher” that man is a stay at home dad. And I mean that.

So, I’ve had the thought of “what if Max never intercepted the bullet, and Peter did die.” Because I’ve never been happy a day in my life. This image of Peter shot and the LIB coming in and possessing his body to take Max and Peter away has been haunting me for a few weeks now, sooo….

I did this on Medibang pro, which I haven’t touched in years, but yknow what, I had a good time! Sorry about this one.
