AN: Another Fic? What about Kamen Rider Huntress? That's still continuing I'm just hitting a bit of writers block and started writing this while trying to figure that one out.

Coffee Shop Meeting

Winters in Atlas are the worst she thought as she walked down the streets. Especially in the morning. Amongst the grey uniforms of the Atlas military that was out this early in the morning she definitely stood out. Short, jet blue hair sat atop her head, framing her green eyes. She was dressed in a long blue jacket and black jeans. 2 daggers sat at her hips, pistols hidden within the handle of each. Black combat boots completed her look. She carries a large red backpack that appears to be stuffed to the brim with things. She eventually arrives at her destination, a small coffee shop called "the first banana".

"I still don't understand why he named it that" the woman mused out loud with a chuckle as she entered. Table lined the walls, most of which were empty, but a few people could be found enjoying a morning cup. Several large coffee machines sat behind the counter, noises of brewing echoing throughout the shop. Also behind the counter stood a blonde man in his early 30s, counting lien before putting it back in the cash register.

"Welcome to The First Banana. What can I get you today?"

"Medium Coffee, 1 cream 5 sugars please." The woman says with a smile.

"Alrighty then. Name I can put on the coffee to call when it's ready?"

The woman pauses for a second before replying "Azure."

"Alright Azure that'll be $2.20" The woman hands him some lien. "Haven't seen you around here. You new in town?"

"Yeah."

"Well welcome to Atlas. Name's Sun. What brings you to this frigid wasteland like this, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Work."

"You a huntress? You look pretty well armed" Sun says motioning to the daggers. The woman nods and is about to speak when the door to the shop whips open, making a loud slam as it collides with the wall. Behind it marches in a short white haired woman wearing a long blue dress with a slit down one of the legs underneath a thick white cloak.

"Good morning Ms…"

"The normal Sun, and make it snappy. I don't have time this morning" The white haired woman interrupts.

"Coming right up as soon as I finish this order."

"I don't have time Sun"

"Look I'm going as fast as I can. My morning guy called off this so morning so give me a break."

"Yea calm down lady" Azure snaps "You can wait the 20 seconds extra so he finishes other people's orders"

"How dare you talk to me like that?" The white hair woman storms up to Azure. "Do you have any idea who I…"

"Weiss Schnee, current head of the Schnee Dust Company, one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world. The same company that used to be known for its controversial labor..."

"USED to being the keyword there."

"The point still stands. I thought the new owner wasn't such a stuck up… You know what, Sun, did you put the sugar and stuff in mine yet?" Sun shakes his head "give her mine. I can wait." Sun just shrugs and hands Weiss the coffee. With a "humph" she storms out.

"Sorry about that Azure. I'd say she's not usually like that but it's more like she's not usually THAT bad."

"What's her deal anyways?" that's not the Weiss I know.

"It's… complicated. Anyways here's your coffee" he hands her a cup. "So you're a huntress. Used to be one myself."

"Really?"

"Yea. Thought it was what I wanted to do but after… anyways I decided to open this shop." Azure just nods. "How long you planning on being in Atlas?"

"You're asking a lot of someone you just met." She chuckles.

"You're right. Sorry for prying."

"Although given how I'm planning on staying for a while you know anywhere I can find a place to stay? Preferably something under the radar?"

Sun thinks for a second before speaking "I've got the place above this. It's nothing much but give me a couple hundred lien a month and you can stay there. I don't use it for anything other than storage and it'd be nice to get some extra money coming in."

"Thanks Sun."

"No problem. Come on I'll show you the place." Sun leads her upstairs to a small loft like area. While most of it is buried in boxes there is a small kitchenette and bathroom as well as a cot lying in the middle.

"It ain't much sorry and I'll get the boxes out of here so…"

"It'll do. Beggars can't be choosers. Also don't worry about the boxes they aren't in the way. Thank you again Sun."

"Not a problem. I don't know why but you remind me of someone." Azure raises an eyebrow. "Look it's not important. I'll leave you to get settled." And with that he darts back downstairs. With a sigh Azure goes over to the bathroom area and pulls out a small container from her backpack. Reaching up to her eyes she removes her contacts before placing them in the container. She then reaches up and pulls the blue wig off her head, revealing black hair with red tips underneath. She stares in the mirror with a pair of silver eyes staring back at her.

You've been a big help Sun. she thinks to herself. And don't worry, I know who I remind you of… me.

AN: Short opening chapter I know but I've got chapter 2 started as I write this. Anyway in case it wasn't clear Ruby is going by the name Azure (which is a shade of blue, so it fits the naming rule, hence the lack of an OC tag). I'm going for more of a 3rd person perspective here. Also there is a reason she doesn't have Crescent Rose which will be covered in a future chapter.

Before I forget character ages:

Ruby/Azure: 33

Every other 1st year beacon student that appears (Weiss, Sun, etc.): 35

Also while not necessary right now my 1st fic "Love Knows No Distance" is in the same continuity as this and will be referenced down the line.
