A/N: Salutations friends! I want to start out by apologizing profusely for basically ghosting all of you on top of saying I would put up the next chapter in 2 weeks about 6 months ago and yet it has been... well about 6 months. I also want apologize profusely for getting all of your hopes up for a new chapter and yet this is just only an authors note.

So, back in November when I said I would have the next chapter up in 2 weeks I had completely spaced on a huge project I had to turn in 2 weeks later for my Theatrical Stagecraft class, which I had not even started, and that I would have to do a presentation on 2 weeks after that as well as several papers I had to write for a slew of labs in my Astronomy class that were assigned on the same week and were due after Thanksgiving break. As a result my free time was heavily occupied until I finished my finals on the 20th of December. During my winter break which ran from the 21st of December to the 13th of January, I repeatedly sat down to write the next chapter, but instead ended up with me being pummeled by writer's block, me writing sizeable chunks of the chapter only to decide I hated everything and erasing everything I had written, and then constantly in fits of desperation looking at other RWBY and RWBY crossover fanfics for some form of inspiration only to find myself in multiple several hundred thousand world long stories that became blackholes for my time. Then the current semester started and I have had a huge workload the entire time. I will not have any free time to write until some time in June because while I finish my finals on either the 22nd or the 23rd of May I will then have Jury duty the week of the 27th of May, which there is no telling how long that will last, and I will then once Jury duty is done have to be fully focused on being full steam ahead to get packed up so my family and I can be moved out of our apartment by the 13th or 14th of June. However we will only being moving across town so it won't be like I am in some mountain range half way around the world where the internet connection is shoddy at best.

Once I have free time to write, my first order of business will have to be the one thing I am certain blocked me from making any headway in writing the next chapter which would be the fact that I have zero reference for ground plans for Beacon Academy in RWBY and zero reference for ground plans for Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters from X-men which I had been hoping I could mash together for the set up of the grounds of Beacon Institute. So basically I am going to have to start from scratch and draft ground plans for Beacon Institue, because while it might not affect any of you I tend to be a bit obssesive about knowing exactly where everything is in a given area before I can actually write about people navigating through that area. Hence why I watched all the way through the scene where Tony makes his escape in the Mark I Iron Man armor at least like 25 to 30 just so I could write it.

So, I am alive and I should, key word being should, have the next chapter up for you all soon-ish sometime in the later half of June. Also, when I do post the next chapter I will be deleting this and the last author's note so that they won't be there to interrupt the flow of the story.

Also, one last thing before I forget. Since I know you guys don't like having to wait for months on end for me to post the next chapter and I definitely don't like making you guys wait for months on end, I am going to post a poll on profile with two different approaches I can take to posting chapters, one of which will have inconsistent posting and the other will have regular posting. I just want to see what you all would prefer.

That is it from me and I hope you all stay sensational friends,
