Rwby and others react to the future

Strings

Nora: I don't know what he is. Every time I think the two of us are making progress, he... (sighs) We've been together our whole lives but I feel like I understand him less now than ever. And I don't know if that's his fault or mine.

Blake: When you've been at someone's side for so long after a while they become a part of you. But that's just it, they're only a part of you. Don't forget about the rest.

Nora lets out a mirthless chuckle.

Nora: I don't actually know who I am... without Ren. Pretty sad, huh?

"Nora you're an amazing person kind sweet kinda crazy that's who you are we wouldn't have it any other way," jaune said

"Yeah but all I'm good at is being strong and hitting stuff," Nora said

"No you always supported me and encourage me and so what if that's all you can do," jaune said

"I feel like I'm to blame for all of this," Ren said

"You two I'm supposed to be the depressed one on the team, not you two," jaune said

"yeah but are you joking about it because I'm very worried right now," Nora said

"Yes I'm joking," jaune said

"Also without Nora, I probably would have been dead a long time ago," Ren said

"Thanks," Nora said

Weiss: Well, maybe take this opportunity to find out. Do something only Nora can do.

Nora: Like what? Be strong and hit stuff?

Weiss steps forward to comfort Nora, but some loud keystrokes distract them, and the girls join Ruby and Penny at Ironwood's terminal. As Pietro speaks through Penny, Weiss turns to Ruby for an explanation, but she can only shrug in response.

Pietro: I just have to... There. Downloading the cloned imprint now. When Penny gets to Amity, we'll run the launch sequence. Amity's computer will try to connect to the general's terminal but get Penny instead.

Penny's eyes go back to green.

Penny: And after the launch, I'll return to help you all with the evacuation.

"Yes we succeeded," ruby said

"Okay maybe I was wrong but then again something bad could happen," yang said

"Don't jinx us yang" Blake said

"Yes, I will help with the evacuation right?" Penny said looking at them while they had conflicted looks

"I think it for the best you stay with your father penny" ruby said

"I could make it a lot easier to protect them" penny argued

"Yeah but if Salem gets her hands on you she'll have the staff of creation," Blake said

Penny looked down sadly

Pietro: (coughs) About that, Penny. When Amity goes up, I think you should be on it with Maria and I.

Penny's cheerful expression is replaced by an anxious one. The rest of the girl's trade conflicted looks.

Penny: But they need me here. Right?

Ruby: Well, if you stay far out of Salem's reach, then she can't open the vault. She can't get to the relic. So...

Weiss: Maybe it is for the best?

Blake: Um, we should probably head to the hangar.

Back at the room's entrance, Penny glumly deactivates the electrified door again.
