Remnant's Wolverine (Wolverine!Male Reader x RWBY)

With Friends Like These

Qrow and Robyn swing their weapons at Clover, who blocks with his rod, and Tyrian slides the ring on his bolas off of the broken bar and hurries toward the pilots, excitedly snickering to himself. Clover continues blocking strikes and a crossbow bolt from Qrow and Robyn.

Suddenly, the ship shakes, causing the three of them to fall over. Hearing maniacal laughter, Qrow looks up to see Tyrian crouched on the ship's console, wearing the pilot's hat. The pilot is slumped over and is not moving. Qrow hurries to his feet, grabs onto Tyrian's upper arms and shakes him.

Qrow: What are you doing!?

Tyrian: The will of our goddess!!

Tyrian kicks off of Qrow, landing in the lap of an Atlas soldier, who appears unconscious or dead. He then grabs onto the co-pilot control stick and jerks it to the side, causing the ship to veer toward the ground. Clover opens the airship's side door and jumps out. Soon after, the ship crashes into the ground, and Robyn yelps as the impact knocks her over.

In a hallway in the research facility, Winter Schnee is looking at the Wanted notice on her Scroll. Penny Polendina is standing behind her, looking concerned.

Winter: Weiss. What did you do?

Penny: The General is leaving Mantle to perish?

Winter: (sigh) He's saving Remnant. We can't let the Relics fall to Salem.

Winter begins walking ahead.

Penny: But all those people we just protected, they won't survive.

Penny looks over her shoulder, while Winter continues to walk.

Winter: We don't have time to-

Penny glares at Winter.

Penny: That doesn't bother you?

Winter stops walking and stands with her back to Penny and an upset expression on her face.

Penny: What about your sister? Our friends?

Winter collects herself and turns to face Penny.

Winter: My personal feelings don't matter. We have orders. I'm to retrieve the power of the Winter Maiden so we can access the Relic. You're here to ensure my safety. Now come on. We've already lost enough time.

Penny: It should matter.

Winter thinks for a moment. Her expression softens, and she walks over to Penny.

Winter: Penny. The general is making hard choices so we don't have to. For the good of all, not just a few.

Winter takes Penny's hands, but Penny pulls her hands away.

Penny: I do not see what is good about any of this.

Winter watches as Penny walks ahead.

Winter: On that we can agree.

Winter follows Penny down the hall toward a door guarded by Atlesian Knight-200s.

Weiss: Please, think about what you're doing.

Y/N, Team RWBY and the Ace Operatives are standing in Ironwood's office.

Harriet: You heard the general. Until this is sorted out, you're under arrest.

Harriet brings out her Scroll and hits a button. The blue lights throughout the room turn red, and metal covers the windows. Yang Xiao Long looks at the windows, then at Harriet.

Yang: Really?

Vine steps forward, raising a hand.

Vine: Please. Don't make this difficult.
