Catch Me if You Can (Male Reader x Ruby Rose) RWBY

Vol 7 Part 4

Nora: Hi. Do you need a new best friend? Our pair name can be...

Nora's eyes sparked with pink electricity, and she lifted her hammer into the air with both hands. .

Nora: THUNDER THIGHS!

Harriet watched this with a sigh, and Ruby ran over to her.

Ruby: Perfect complementary teamwork. Oh, yeah, I want to have my friends' backs just like that.

Harriet: Friends?

Elm: This isn't the schoolyard, kid.

Behind Elm, Nora was still posed with her hammer in the air.

Nora: Thunder Thighs...

Ren walked over, lifted the currently stiff Nora under his arm, and walked away. Ruby's teammates joined her.

Yang: But, I mean, when you go through so much with someone, it kind of changes things, doesn't it?

Harriet: We get along well enough, sure. I count on them to keep me alive. They do the same. But that's the job. We don't confuse the two.

She turned and walked away, leaving Team RWBY to look on sadly. You finally relaxed yourself, feeling the evil, the Demonic flow away.

Clover: Speaking of the job...

Further down the way, Ironwood was talking on a communicator. He gave a brief order to a soldier, who walked away.

Clover: Duty ever beckons. You all hang back a second.

He gestured to Jaune and Qrow.

The Ace-Ops walked over to Ironwood. Ruby watched with a sad sigh, then looked away, thinking. She then got an idea, smiled and hurried over to her teammates.

Ruby: What do you guys want to do when we get back to Atlas? Sightseeing? Oh, what should we visit first?

Blake: How about our beds?

Blake walked away.

Ruby: Oh, come on, guys! This is a great time to go exploring! We haven't done that in so long!

Weiss: Ruby, we just explored a whole continent on foot before flying to this one.

Weiss walked away.

Ruby: Well, yeah, but... it was only the boring parts.

Yang: We almost died.

Ruby: Pft.

Ruby waved her hands at Yang with an awkward chuckle, and Yang walked away. Ruby then frowned and sighed sadly.

Qrow: Hey. Heads up.

Qrow pointed his thumb over at Ironwood, who was talking to Clover while the other Ace-Ops walked away.

Ironwood: Can I get the team leaders over here? There's something I'd like to discuss with you. You too, Qrow, (Y/N).

You sighed, as you, Ruby, Jaune and Qrow walked over to Ironwood.

Ironwood: I need you on the ground, but be subtle. If people see too many Huntsmen milling around, they'll get nervous.

Clover saluted, nodded and began walking away.

Ironwood: And Clover?

Clover stopped and looked back. In the background, Marrow was in front of an open airship, talking to a military Huntsman, while miming punching imaginary targets and waving his arms.

Ironwood: Don't take Marrow.

Clover looked over at Marrow, then looked at Ironwood, smiling and chuckling with a nod. Marrow recreated his pose from when he froze a pair of Centinels and then turned around and mimed shooting something. Clover headed in Marrow's direction, and Ironwood turned to you.
