Random RWBY Roleswap scenes- warning angst

Hi so here are some random scenes from the roleswap AU some notes at the end, warning these are all angst filled

Oscar sprang up the tower jumping between the blades Penny had landed in the tower for him, his long green coat and hood flying behind him as he ran up hand clenched white knuckled around his spear. He had to get there Cinder was fighting, when Emerald had called she’d sounded terrified near hysterical and…heartbroken, something bad was happening and he had to get up there he had to, he was so close just a little bit more.

He launched himself up using a burst of speed from his semblance to make it to the top landing down spear ready to… was ready to.

  He felt the spear slip from his numb fingers as he watched.

Cinder was on her knees eyes wide and a spear of coal and fire impaled through her chest her eyes wide and her bow shattered and broken by her side Phyrra stood in front of her smiling with a hand on her cheek as…she faded away Cinders body glowed and fell to the ground like ashes.

Oscar stared the image in front of him not processing in his mind right away not believing it not understanding it…until he did

And he screamed

He heard other cries and his vision faded to white his head burned, his eyes burned everything was burning and bright.

And then everything was black.

  Mercury manoeuvred into the kitchen with a curse his hair falling over his face he’d brush it way but both his arms were wrapped tightly around his crutches…he closed his eyes and tried not to think about it don’t think about it he leaned against the counter top looking out the window trying not to think about the phantom pain and unbalanced weight and

A shadow flickered past the window

Shadows, so fast Belladonna had, to fast to fast she’d been there no it had been a clone an illusion shadow and then pain blood screams his scream Adam’s scream and painpainpianpain to much so much blood he could still smell it he could taste it he could hear Adam sobs and whispers “I’m sorry I’m sorry” again and again and he could feel the Blade as the shadow had.

Mercury didn’t realise he’s fallen to the floor until he was looking up into uncle Hazel’s face his uncle’s eyes were soft and he was talking but Mercury couldn’t hear he was still trying to breath and everything was wet and oh…he was crying.

Why was he so weak?why?why? why couldn’t do anything?

…was that why everyone left?

His dad left him when he was born maybe he could he tell even then, his mum probably did the same he knew nothing about her well other than that she clearly didn’t want him, Auntie Gretchen the closet thing he had ever actually had to mum was dead and buried and gone, Uncle Tyrian wasn’t here he was watching over Oscar apparently…because even Oscar had left his baby brother, even though they shared no blood and Oscar was luckily to not have his useless  stupid blood in his veins, his baby brother  was gone, Penny was gone back in Atlas though he knew it wasn’t of her own will but still she like Auntie were gone and Adam…Adam.

Adam his partner, his friend the person who knew more about his father than anyone else because Mercury had told him…he never even told Oscar, they were partners , he’d seen the scar Adam ha told him about the white fang and the past they trusted each other so why? Why? He’d been there he’d dragged him away from Belladonna he remembers and remembers him apologising but…then he’d left why? Why him? why did he leave? Why?

“it’s not you Mercury” he heard uncle Hazel say firmly he was hugging him and oh…had he been talking out loud “it is not you” he repeated firmly he sounded so sure so convinced it wasn’t him

For a short moment Mercury let himself try and believe that.

  Penny stood awkwardly outside the door of her father’s office curled into herself, she hated being here so much, she missed her team, she missed everything that wasn’t this cage of a house.

She heard loud voices and the door opened revealing Doctor Watts who was glaring at her father his expression soften when he saw her “ Miss Polendina”

“Doctor” she nodded walking in to the room hesitantly as the doctor left she looked down at her hands looking up when she heard him begin talking again

“I would like to let you know that Atlas academy has a spot open foe you if you so choose” he said before letting himself smile “and even if you choose not to attend you are always welcome to visit both the academy and the science institute I believe Vernal would be happy to see you”

For the first time since she had been dragged back here Penny felt like smiling

“NO!” a sharp voice cut through her response she turned to see her father’s voice contorted in pure anger “My daughter will not be attending your academy, she will not be indulging in anymore of this huntress nonsense she has learnt her lesson and she will not be interacting with any of your sorrowful excuse of scientists” Watts looked ready to scream at her father pure outrage on his face “ now I believe you know the way out good day doctor” he said with a fake smile on his face as he slammed the door in his face before turning on his heel and walking to his desk

Penny wanted to argue and scream, ‘you’re so much stronger than you think you are’ her team had said that she was strong she was not going to let this happen she

“Honestly the nerve of that man you almost died!” her father began “you understand the risks now you can understand what I’m doing can’t you Penny?” he looked at her and Penny flinched back, it wasn’t a question he wanted her to answer Penny knew this it was so familiar “your my daughter my only child you are the most important thing in the world to me and he wants me to throw you into another huntress school. It could end up like Beacon they clearly aren’t prepared they can’t protect you and I need to know tour safe Penny you understand that don’t you?” she looked down at her feet “and having you interact with his pawns it’ll put you in danger again he wants you at the academy and he’ll manipulate you use his pawns to do it because you’re so important penny your my heir my only daughter  he knows that I’d bend the Polendina company he wants you there for that nothing more, I’m doing this for your own good Penny I’m not the bad guy here Penny your my daughter and I love you  this is what needs to happen for you to be safe” she fought back tears “you understand that don’t you Penny?” the tone indicated this was where she should answer

Penny blinked back tears ‘I’m sorry guys’ she thought ‘I’m not strong’

“yes father”

  “WOW! That’s where your mom lives?” Adam glanced back at Illia who was staring at everything in awe flashing multiple exited colours and he rolled his eyes  awkwardly fiddling with his eye patch and stopping as he remembered his bandana was gone now, he’d gotten so used to it.

“you look good without it” Illia said with a smile he glanced back at her  she smiled warmly at him and he weakly smiled back, he was less awkward after the conversation they had on the ship

(“you don’t…you don’t like me right I mean that’s not why you followed me right?” he asked awkwardly and Illia had started at him blankly before losing it in hysterical laughter “no no way oh don’t worry you are in no way my type…besides I think I have good idea of what you type and it seems a lot more sliv” “THIS CONVERSATION IS OVER!”)

Adam’s smile dropped as he saw the sly smile spread over her face and his eye narrowed “if you make the joke I think you’re going to make I swear to dust” he heard her burst out laughing behind him as he marched on up the stairs trying to ignore the fear churning in his gut but her tried to push it back no more running, no more, he wasn’t running again.

He ignores the part of his mind that screams that he is running, he’s running from Blake still running and hiding, he also ignores the part that pints out that he’s running from Mercury.

He flinches and tries to shove those thoughts away, he tries to shove away the thoughts of grey eyes silver hair a big smirk, of a dance and laughing confessions in an empty classroom the two them hanging back as Penny and Oscar excitedly run ahead… the blood and scream and a leg and ‘I will destroy everything you love…starting with him’

When he looks up he’s at the door and the knot in his stomach get’s tighter and the lump in his throat thicker, his arms are shaking, he can’t lift a hand to knock he can’t do anything…he wants to run, he wants to leave he can’t do this he left and she’ll hate him (he left and Mercury will hate him to) he can’t do this he can’t he.

“hey” a soft hand of his shoulder almost makes hi  bolt but he glances down to see Illia smile though her eyes are worried “…you ok?”

Adam doesn’t even begin to try and explain the torrent of thoughts in his head he can only chock out the simple “ I…I haven’t …not since I left with the Belladonna’s I never…I didn’t call or write she…she won’t want to see me she won’t I should”

“breath” Illia remind him softly and just stood there hand on his back while he breathed and tried not to think or remember or anything but breath

He had to do this, he had to…even if she hated him…at least now she’d know he wasn’t dead.

He made himself knock on the door before he could change his mind.

As soon as he’d knocked he felt the overwhelming urge to run to get away but.

The door was open Sienna stood there

Her eyes wide “A…Adam” she whispered staring at him with wide disbelieving eyes.

Swallowing thickly he nodded “hi mom” he choked out he tried to force out more words to apologise to say something to explain to try to explain to

The next thing he knew her arms were wrapped around him and she was hugging him close he shook weakly and then broke sobbing into her shoulder as soon as her heard her say “welcome home”

Sorry for the angst, here's some quick notes

Oscars weapon is a cross between a spear and a rifle (the spear can disconnect like Kyoko’s from Madoka Magica) it also kind of resembles a scorpion tail.

Penny’s father uses far more emotional manipulation (think mother Gothel)

Adam was adopted by Sienna as a young child after the indicate that caused his injury

If anyone wants to know more on this roleswap let me know
