#ever wonder what happens when a silver eyed warrior has a panic attack?

[bridgyrose]

Ruby sliced through grimm after grimm, panting as her form started to get sloppy. She had been at it for hours, cuts and scrapes covered her arms after her aura broke. “It’s… it’s not working… I cant…” 

“Yes you can! Now try harder!” Cinder stood a bit away from Ruby, lighting up a fireball, tossing it up into the air and catching it with her grimm hand. She was still a bit concerned that her arm hadnt been acting up. She was sure that by now Salem would’ve done something… 

Ruby slammed her scythe into the ground, dropping and sighing. “I think… I think its time… we take a break-” 

“So that’s it?” Cinder stood up, throwing the fireball at another grimm that ran towards Ruby, incinerating it. “You cant do it, so you’re going to give up?” 

“You’re not the one fighting without aura.” 

“And you’re the one who wants to give up!” 

Ruby went silent for a moment, gripping her scythe as she stood up. “I’m not giving up.” 

“And yet, you dont want to continue with your training.” Cinder created a couple swords out of fire and stone, slowly walking over to Ruby. “You can be done with your training when you can defeat me.” 

Ruby hesitated for a moment, picking up her scythe and putting it onto her back. “I’m not going to fight you.” 

“And why not?” Cinder took a swing at the girl, aiming for her prosthetic. “You managed to use your eyes on me at Beacon.” She took another swing, this time at Ruby’s head. “And you managed to use them at Haven. Why is this any different?” 

Ruby quickly dodged out of the way of both strikes, pulling out her scythe again to start defending herself. “You’re not the enemy anymore. I dont need to fight you!” 

“Dont need to fight me? Or too scared to admit that you’ll lose?” Cinder started slashing at Ruby, not letting up with her strikes. “You have the power to stop grimm with your eyes! And you’ve done nothing to hone it! Do you understand how frustrating it is that you have all of this power and refuse to use it? Refuse to harness it?” 

“Its not my choice!” Ruby started fighting back, slamming her scythe into Cinder’s swords. “I dont know how any of this works! I used them by accident! I cant just turn them on whenever I want!” 

“Then try harder!” 

“I am trying!” 

“If this is the best you can do, then your friends will die just like Pyrrha did!” 

Ruby froze for a moment, her eyes starting to shine a bright silver as images of memories flooded into her mind. She could see herself at Beacon once more, watching the grimm attack her friends. One by one, she watched all of them fall. Her gaze turned towards Pyrrha as she watched Cinder end her life once more. 

Cinder hesitated for a moment as she watched Ruby, stumbling back a bit. “R-Ruby?” 

Without warning, a blinding silver light burst from Ruby’s eyes, burning away all the grimm around her. Cinder moved her arm in front of her eyes, feeling the grimm arm start to burn away.

Jaune sighed as he started repairing the hole he punched in the wall. “I… should’ve kept my cool a bit better.” 

Yang shrugged, clearing up the room for Jaune’s sister. “Honestly, I dont blame you. We… I reacted the same way as you when I heard. I have had more time to come to terms with it.” 

“Still, I shouldve-” 

“Jaune! Yang! Where’s Maria!” 

Jaune and Yang both turned to the doorway to see Cinder missing her grimm arm and panting. Yang spoke up, pointing to the backyard. “She’s… back there… what’s going on?” 

“I… It’s Ruby… I dont know how to get her to stop…” 

Yang’s eyes went red as she walked closer to Cinder, picking her up by the collar. “What did you do to her?!” 

Jaune looked out the door, hesitating as he watched another flash of silver light. “That… wouldnt happen to be Ruby, would it?” 

Cinder nodded slowly, staying still. “I…  I was trying to help her and I took things a bit too far…” 

Yang dropped Cinder and started rushing off to the light, hoping Ruby would be okay. “Get Maria and bring her to Ruby! I swear, if you did anything to her-” 

“I know I know, you’ll have my head. A threat I’ve heard a lot recently.” 

Jaune started heading with Cinder to the backyard. “Is Ruby okay?” 

“I… I’m not sure. But she told me Maria helped her once, maybe she can again.”

Ok but what if Oscar runs away from the group and goes into the tunnel thing to calm down and be alone, but Ruby is worried cuz the little farmer baby boy is gone so she goes to look for him and they end up getting attacked? Or Oscar runs away and Ruby follows him and they have a heart-to-heart about all the struggles (just like they did before) idk I think it'd be cute

Or evenbetter…what if…Oscarends up having a major panic attack fromas a result of his meltdown from the pressure of everything in past fewepisodes forcing Ruby to do something she’s never done before---pull a Stydia from Teen Wolf whereshe kisses Oscar to help him start breathing again. And her excuse for doing itis because she got the idea from some RWBY comic book equivalent of the Teen Wolf series that she was reading.

Okay now the aboveconcept will never ever happen in a million years but allow me to entertain theidea of Ruby giving her first kiss to Oscar in order to save him from a panicattack. I mean Stiles and Lydia weren’t a couple either when they shared theirfirst kiss due to Stiles having a panic attack and Lydia’s brainiac solutionwas to kiss him to get him to hold his breath.

Evenif Oscar were to have a panic attack, I more expect Ruby to hug him very tightly whispering all the kind words that thefarm boy needed to hear from someone who cared about him until heultimately calmed down. That’s more likely than a kiss. So long as it’s not Rubyslapping Oscar in the face, I’m good. The boy doesn’t need any more attacks onhis delicate fragile cutie patootie face since Qrow already did a number onhim.

Iwonder if Ruby might ask Oscar about his face or offer him a wet towel for hisjaw if it still hurts next episode. That could be cute and a pretty Ruby beingsweet thing for her to do.

Ican also picture Ruby rooming with Oscar for the night in case he wasfeeling lonely and needed someone to keep him company. Like…what if…thegang settle in to sleep for the night---Qrow volunteers to stand watch downstairswhile everyone else rested. Let’s say thehouse has two mainbedrooms---one room with three beds and another with just the one.

Let’s say…the original plan wasfor RWBY to have the room with three beds. While Blake and Weiss had their ownbeds, Ruby and Yang being sisters would’ve shared the third bed.

Asfor the room with the one bed, Oscar was supposed to bunk with Maria. Oscarwould have easily offered the whole bed to Maria (because he’s a sweetheartlike that) and slept alone in the living room downstairs. However he ended up ondebunking that idea after learning that Qrow would bestaying in the living room and…because of how awkward things with the Branwenman due to the Ozpin scenario, Oscar felt extremely uncomfortable around Qrow.

Soin the end, Oscar had no choice but to bunk with Maria as planned. But whenOscar came to settle in for the night, he’s surprised to discover Ruby sittingon his bed because SURPRISE! She was his roomie for the night in place ofMaria. Let’s say…Ruby,acknowledging Oscar’s withdrawn nature and loneliness decided that the twoshould have their very own sleep over and begged Maria to switch places withher. So Maria ends up begrudgingly sharing a bed with Yang and the two haveanother episode of banter, much to the sunny dragon’s chagrin.

Ilike the idea of Ruby choosing to spend the night with Oscar as her way ofchumming up to him and helping him through his pain over what happened with Oz.But I figured that, just like in V5 C5, then Oscar will see right through Ruby’s charadeand end up exploding again. But in a manner that brings him to full actualtears this time. Ruby then tries to comfort him, asking Oscar what he wantedher to do to make him feel better. That’s when Oscar would reveal the true problem.He doesn’t know what he wants. Without Ozpin there to guide him, he doesn’tknow what to do anymore. He’s all alone and doesn’t know how he’s going tohandle anything anymore. This can lead into the two sharing a hug together forthe first time as Ruby pulls Oscar into an embrace. That’sone idea.  

I do like your ideaof Oscar getting overwhelmed by everything and running into the tunnel, anon-chan.I like the idea of Ruby either finding him and two share a bonding moment beforeit is interrupted by the arrival of a new Grimm species. What if…Qrow’s negativity gets himstraight up possessed by this new Grimm and he becomes the conduit throughwhich the beast takes full advantage of the Branwen man’s frustration towardsOzpin to attack the whole team. It’d be interesting if Grimmifed Qrow takespoor Oscar hostage, forcing Ruby to be the one to save them both.

Somehow,I feel like the next few episodes of V6---C5 to possibly C7 will involve the Brunswick Farmsleading into Ruby revealing herself as a Silver Eyed Warrior inthe presence of Maria who will then reveal herself to be one as well and offerto train Ruby. That’s my hunch.

The Inner Circle

“Sit down, (Y/N)”, he ordered as he sat down himself.

Amren sat down next to him. I swallowed.

Why does he suddenly feel miles away?, I thought to myself.

He was being too distant out of nowhere. Why? I sat down where he instructed: at the farthest seat at the table. As I did, I couldn’t help but glance at the relics. They were all just laying on the table in front of us as if they were jewels for us to admire.

One more relic.

My hands began to tremble as horrible thoughts invaded my mind.

What if he betrays me right here? What if he just takes the relics for himself and makes his inner circle kill me? What if he was just using me and had no interest in what happened to me? And worse, what if he was planning to help me but when he learned the truth of who I was, he decided to take revenge?

I closed my eyes.

Kill them. Kill them here and now. You can take his powers and kill everyone. They can’t stop you. You are stronger than they are. Do it. Become their Queen. Do it.

I opened my eyes in panic and studied Rhysand. I could kill him. I could kill him so easily. I could take his powers away from him, paralyze him, then paralyze every single one of his warriors and kill them one by one until… Rhysand grinned at me.

What are you thinking of?, Rhysand asked inside my head.

I knew he was making time and distracting me for whatever was about to happen but I didn’t knew what to do about it, so I just grinned back at him.

On killing you, I replied in his head.

He blinked and grinned even further.

Oh, he said back at me. Is that so?

We do have a bargain of no lies, don’t we?, I replied.

I knew I shouldn’t be teasing him, but I couldn’t resist. Besides, he seemed calmer and more put together. I wondered if he needed this distraction as well. Rhysand’s expression changed as Amren stared at him.

Listen, (Y/N), we can’t—, he was starting to say something in my mind, when The Morrigan entered the room with the two Illyrian warriors I’d met the first time Rhysand had brought me to Velaris. I eyed them both as they walked towards the table we were sitting on. The one with the long hair stared at me with confusion and expectation in his eyes. He turned to Rhysand and as he did, I could see his questions written in his face as clearly as water: Why is she still here? Why were you with her? and who even is she? I didn’t see Rhysand’s expression because I turned to look at the other Illyrian, the quiet one that I’d almost forgotten. He had shadows all around and he just stared at me with a calculating look.

What are you thinking?, I wondered as our eyes met.

“So, are you going to ever tell us what is going on, Rhysand?”, asked The Morrigan as she sat down next to Rhysand.

That made me broke eye contact with the Illyrian warrior and focus on Rhysand’s face.

“The information I’m about to tell you can’t leave this room”, Rhysand started.

His inner circle just stared at him like he had just given them an obvious remark.

“Well duh”, the long haired Illyrian said in a mocking way. “I’m serious, Cassian. This is not to be taken lightly. There are lives at stake”, Rhysand said in a serious manner.

There was silence for a few seconds. They were all trying to figure out what was going on. What was that serious. Rhysand sighed.

I’m sorry, (Y/N), Rhysand said in my mind.

Stop him. He’s going to tell them everything. Stop him. Kill him.

NO.

I ignored the voices in my head as I looked at Rhysand. I knew he wouldn’t say a thing if I asked him to, but I trusted him. Thus, I trusted his judgement. I nodded slightly at him and he returned the gesture. Then he eyed each one of the faes siting on the table.

“The past few days I’ve been on a quest to find the items you see here and—”.

Rhysand began to tell them about the relics. He began telling them the secret legend I’d heard about the King and the favour he granted to the one who could put him together. Then he proceeded to tell them about our quest and how to obtain the relics. His inner circle just looked at him with surprise, confusion, anger and most of all, worry in their eyes. I reminded myself at this point that they had already lost him once for 50 years thanks to my own mother, Amarantha. So, the mere thought of having him do these extremely life threatening tasks just to see if this story was real… well, it must’ve been surreal and idiotic in their eyes. I could understand. But I had nothing to loose. I wasn’t in his position. So at this point I decided that if he wanted to stop helping me, I’d be okay with it. I knew his people needed him more than I did.

“So that’s what we were looking for during the past few weeks”, Rhysand said as he sipped the wine he had magically appeared at some point.

There was a minute of silence, and then:

“You have completely lost it, Rhysand”, The Morrigan told him with a worried look on her face. “You can’t just leave like that after—”, she stopped herself mid sentence.

After Feyre’s dead. That was what was written all over her expression. She was worried. She was worried Rhysand had left… for good. I couldn’t had blamed him on her place. Had my mate died the way Feyre did… I don’t even know what I would’ve done. Maybe I would’ve followed a quest as crazy as the one we were on just to have a chance to bring my mate back. Maybe.

“I know”, Rhysand said softly as he grabbed The Morrigan’s hand. “I’m sorry”.

My heart warmed at the sight of them. They must’ve been through so much stuff together, all of them, even Amren, who was starring at me with her intimidating silver eyes.

“You’re forgetting something”, Amren said, eyes still on me.

The eyes of everyone on the table turned to me then. Rhysand stood up from his chair and walked towards me.

“You know each one of you has my trust a hundred percent and our guest here is no exception to that. So before you do anything or react to what I’m about to reveal about her, please keep in mind that I made a bargain to protect her against any harm”, he said as he showed them the little sun tattoo he had on his wrist. “And I have to honor that bargain”.

He was now by my side, as if protecting me from a sudden attack or something. I breathed in anticipation.

“Daeris’ real name is (Y/N), or as you might all remember her: The crimson Assassin”.

All I could hear a second later was the unsheathing of weapons. Was this all a mistake?
