When Jaune had a bad day, he tended to have a terrible one chased by Grimm dragons shot stabbed and blown up. Left for dead half alive barely thinking bleeding out and on fire but now?

"I think I'll have a cocktail. Extra whiskey."

"Yes, master Jaune."

"And some fries. If you will." Jaune asked as the faunus nodded.

"Of course master," The twins said now females the twins bowed to Jaune walking away as Jaune sighed.

Now that is an ass. Jaune said as the hypnotic assed of the fox twins swayed back and forth barley held in their ceremonial white robes.

On that, I could not agree more Z thought Jaune and his friend now full into for the fucking soon to cum smiled. He was getting used to the high life. Living in the Fang Palace eating like a king all his needs met life was good for Jaune, or it would be once one last hurdle was passed.

We have to deal with Tai. What is the plan? Z asked as Jaune smirked.

"OH, don't worry, I have one."

Compromise that was a word that Jaune had learned to hate in his life.

"You know I am only doing this for you, you know?" Jaune asked as he looked in the mirror he had to admit he did look like a girl as Jaune cut a pretty convincing woman. He was short twin long blonde pigtails on his head as Z sighed.

What did I tell you? You stick with me, and we are going to be just fine. Z smirked as Jaune put on the last bit of his disguise A pair of twin tails that were his actual hair that Z had forced to make grow, a slightly to a small pink blouse and a skirt...

"If you told me I was going to be cross-dressing when I first met you, I would have jumped off a cliff."

Oh, calm down you big baby. You are going to be fine, just be natural, ok? We got this. The parasite said as Jaune finished his makeup as he grinned.

"You are lucky I love you, you know?"

I... you love me? Really?

"Yeah, why not? You are the closest thing I've had to a sibling that is not trying to get in my pants or kill me so yeah I love you Z."

I... thank you, Jaune... I love you too. The thing said an odd shyness to his voice as Jaune smiled. He smirked as he walked out of the bathroom to the meeting door and slid a key into the door to his meeting.

"You sure Tai will be fooled?"

Tai knows of you as a boy mot a woman you are fine. Z said as the door opened, Jaune saw him. Tai Yang Xiao-long. He looked like he had not aged a day. He was still young impossibly so a bright, healthy tan to his skin hair like a field of wheat, eyes like Jaune's shining like the sea and a tightly packed build of muscles under a loose shirt.

"Hello! I am Joan Belladonna! Nice to meet you?" Jaune said Z modifying his voice to sound more feminine as Jaune winced.

I sound terrible!

You sound perfect! What are you talking about?

Are you sure?

Yes, I am! Now look he's talking! Z yelled.

"Hello, Jaune," Tai said as Jaune froze Tai smiled at him in a gentle way as Jaune gulped.

"I don't know what you are talking about! I am Joan Belladonna! Sir, I am not Jaune-

"Jaune. Let me stop you right there. Trust me, I know you when I see you. I've had to see plenty of men in drag back in my day, and I cut a mean dress myself so please don't even try. How's it been?" Tai asked nonchalantly smiling ear to ear as Jaune gulped.

The jigs up! We've been had!

How!? I thought this was going to work!?

Me too! I am as confused as you!? Z said as Jaune saw Tai.

"Jaune. I know what this all is ok?" Tai said as Jaune felt his mouth go dry as a dessert.

"You do!?"

"I do and honestly? It's ok. I get you." Tai said as Jaune froze.

"You... you get me?" Jaune asked now very unsure and uncomfortable about this conversation as Tai smirked.

"I get you Jaune I know what it's like..."

Z? What is he talking about?

I have no idea. She admitted as she did a mental shrug that Jaune felt in his whole body.

"Jaune it's ok. You ran away from home to pursue a new life."

"I... Tai, it's not like that! I can explain-

"No need! You ran away from your home and loving mother to be a crossdresser. And honestly? I get that." Tai said as Jaune wanted to gag

"What!?"

"You like to crossdress, but you knew Qrowe would not understand so you ran. I get it but just between you and me? Summer always makes me dress in drag, so I get it. Jaune you want to be a crossdresser, and that's ok."

"I! I don't!"

"It's fine Jaune you don't have to lie. I'll just call your mom and tell her you are cross-dressing in Menagerie ok?"

"NO!"

"Why not?" Tai asked as Jaune panicked thinking of a lie or something as he began to sweat.

"I'm a crossdresser for pay. I have to make money on the side, and I secretly hate every second of it." Jaune said giving Tai a deadpan look the man paused looking at Jaune like he had lost his mind before he sighed.

"Jaune. I know exactly how you feel."

"You do?"

He does?

"When I was your age, I was also cross-dressing to pay against my will."

"I wait. you what?"

"I was your age! Maybe a bit younger! When I had my first taste of the cross-dressing life! I had just started dating Raven, and I needed to make some extra money, Summer suggested I dress in drag at a strip club in the seedier side of Vale to make it." Tai admitted easily as Jaune paused his eyes going wide as he coughed.

"She... she fucking what?" Jaune asked eyes wide as saucers as Tai nodded.

"Yes, Jaune I was a stripper like you. Oh, there were good times and bad ones. Mostly bad really but I get it! And I am just glad that this time you want to be a stripper!"

"I just said that I didn't-

"You ran away to follow your dreams, and they are safe with me!"

"I... ok?"

"And just so you know I... I'm so proud that you can crossdress like that! Ruby is going to love it!"

"I... dear god tell me that's not her fetish," Jaune begged as images of Ruby holding a skirt with a collar filled his eyes.

"Oh, it is! She still thinks of you scrawls your name on her desk moans it at night when I'm with Sum."

"I never wanted to hear that. Please never say that again."

"But for now? I think I am ok with this you are a crossdresser in need of privacy."

"I'm actually not-

"I will leave you just know that I support you!"

Tai got up slowly walking over to Jaune, giving him a tight hug making sure to grip his nephew before smiling.

"I know it's rough but one day when you feel like it, come out of your closet and go to Patch ok? We miss you, Yang and Ruby won't stop looking for you, and Qrowe is more of a drunk without you."

"She is more of a drunk? How?"

"Simple. I literally saw her down a full bottle of gin for her morning drink, and that was not even her warm-up."

"She promised to not do that! She said only a sip of hard liquor before twelve!"

"Yeah she did... but you being out or her life is hard... she misses you... badly and knowing you are alive or not dead is not helping her... I won't say anything to her but if you ever want to come back the door wide open." Tai said, rubbing Jaune's head before gasping.

"AH! One more thing! If Summer or Raven asks about you, I'm telling them so expect to be home soon!"

"I! Tai!?"

"Bye, Jaune! Have fun, crossdressing! Don't do drugs! Or do!" Tai said as he left the room as Jaune sighed.

"Well, that was... interesting."

I agree... we should do something...

"Yeah... if he tells Raven or Summer, we will have an awkward talk ahead, so you know what that means?"

About that time for us to move on?"

"You know it but where the hell do we go?"

Oh! Let's look at some maps back home!

"Sure but let's get this wig off first..." Jaune said as he frowned sighing he needed to get back to the manor and think this one out.

After that, Jaune and Z looked at a small map. They had been given a break from being pampered and sat in a small room in the back of the palace.

"Ok. We have four choices. Vacuo, Mistral, Atlas, or Vale. We can go to either of these places." Jaune said as Z popped out of his arm, slithering down to the hologram.

I don't think we should go to Vale. Too close to Patch.

"But we would be close to Patch. Hiding in plain sight."

That is true, but the odds are high we are caught. We would need to lay low for a few years.

"Fair, if not? Where else?"

I'd say Atlas. Far away no one would look for us there

"But Mistral is closer."

And Kali and Sienna will hunt us down there so unless we make one helluva exit I would rather not risk their anger.

"I thought you were all about that angry lesbian sex?"

Only when I get a safe word. I'm not trying to die.

"Fine... ok so we have to pick a place even if we do not know where let's go?"

"Ok... since we need to get away and we need to find a place that is far enough away but easy enough to survive... Vacuo." Jaune said as Z nodded.

Ok. Vacuo how the hell do we get there?

"Fly? Or by boat? Why?"

Ok, but what about Blake and Sienna? How the hell do we get out without them hot on our tail?

"Fake our own deaths?" Jaune shrugged as Z sighed.

You do know that was a cluster, right?

"It worked?"

It traumatized your mom and cousins

"But it did work."

I ok... but what about sneaking away? In the cover of night

"So not faking death?"

We can, I have an idea for it but let's think what do you think we should do?

"Ok... I got a plan."

Does it involve us being killed?

"I hope not? It involves us going on a mission and vanishing."

Oh? I get that. Z said as Jaune nodded.

"Right? Simple plan we volunteer for a mission, we go to it. We do our thing but! We go missing, and when we are out, we are good."

That is a good plan, but we need more. If we just vanish Sienna will keep looking for us. We need to find a way to make it seem like not only did we vanish we died or have some goal or objective to achieve in the process.

"So we do fake our death then?"

No. We do something that is close to it.

"Do you have something in mind?" Jaune asked raising an eyebrow as Z smirked inside of him as she popped out of his arm his skin splitting open as a black slithering stalk slid out, a crimson eye blinking open as a mouth of razor-sharp teeth spilled out.

Oh, you can say that.

"Well speak then."

Well, I think I have an idea...

Jaune liked this idea.

"So we wait until we are on a mission you can fake me getting shot and we are good?"

More or less. Unless we somehow don't get to be at the end of a bullhead, we are good!

"And if we don't?"

Then we are probably going to die!

"Great no biggie," Jaune said as he sighed. He was going to leave to run away again but this time he was going to do it right, and actually say goodbye to his family.

"It will be good to say bye to Kali."

Really? I thought we were avoiding her so she and Gina could have some... alone time... hell even Blake is avoiding her Z said as they appeared at the front of the Belladonna house.

"Don't worry, we are going to be fine. Just watch." Jaune said, opening the door a pair of amber eyes met him as he froze.

"Gina?"

"Jaune?" Gina asked the once, and technically still chief of Menagerie answered the door or was just walking past it when Jaune walked past the door. She was Dressed, and Jaune met that in the loosest sense possible in a loose filly Vacuo Maid outfit, her large chest bereft of a bra hung out of the loose-fitting outfit that was too large in the top but hugged her waistline attached to her as Jaune gulped.

Dear lord, I died and went to heaven.

"I... I'm here to see Kali-

"Oh? Jaune! Is that you! Is Jaune here Dear!?" Kali called as Gina whimpered.

"Save me!" Gina hissed before her wife owner appeared.

"Jaune!"

Jaune gulped Kali was in a light purple suit that hugged her body like it was another skin, her chest pushed out of the outfit her body despite being far older seemed to radiate youth and passion as she smiled.

Ok. Now I'm in heaven. Z said as she drooled internally Kali's outfit hugged her every curve her breast pushed up her legs wrapped in tight leather, she had six-inch stilettos on as Jaune gulped in fear and arousal.

"I-

"Jaune! Oh, dear, it is so good to see you! This Domshroom Outfit you suggest is amazing! Now Gina! Come give our son some drinks, will you?"

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Good pet! Such a good girl a bit clumsy but I love her! Now Jaune! Why are you here? What brings you her not that I am not happy to see my son in law! What's going on?" Kali asked, smiling as Jaune? Jaune said?

"I just wanted to say that I love you, Kali... I love all you did nor me and Blake. I love you her and Gina... you guys are family to me." Jaune said, smiling Kali paused her dominatrix side melting away as she smiled.

"Oh, Jaune, I love you too... You are my son, and nothing will ever change that." Kali said wrapping Jaune in a tight hug, forcing her very exposed chest to his face. For once Z said nothing she did not speak or think, but she purred? Inside of him a long and content sound as Jaune gulped.

"I love you... mom."

"I love you son now get going you obviously have something to do just know that I love you and if you need anything you are always welcome here ok?"

"I... I do... Thanks."

"Good now get going a certain pet needs discipline," Kali said, licking her lips as she purred.

"I... I'll pretend I never heard that"

"Do what you need to do Jaune I have to *discipline a kitty, she has been very naughty!" Kali said as there was a Crack of her riding crop, she turned the door closing as Jaune sighed.

"You were awfully quiet, is there a reason or that?" Jaune asked as Z slithered out of his neck her mouth growing as her red eyes popped up.

It did not seem appropriate to speak on the matter then.

"Why look at you... mature?"

I don't know it just flew wrong..." Z said as Jaune sighed.

"Figures let's get going I hope this goes well."

As do I… Z said as they walked off.

To say things had worked out for the best was an understatement.

"We are almost at the drop zone Jaune!" A faunus woman with deer antlers named Dearie said as Jaune nodded. The bullhead mission to raid some dust from an Atlas convoy was over, he sighed as the ship flew off into the night. The ship roared over the Vacuo ocean as Jaune began to act the final part of his plan with Z.

Z you ready?

As I will ever be. Just give the word. Z said as Jaune backed off moving to the open side door of the bullhead the roaring wind in his ears as he nodded.

"Jaune! What will we do when we get back?" Dearie asked as Jaune smiled.

"We will celebrate!" Jaune said as he smirked there was a harsh white flash of light before Jaune felt an invisible hand yank him. Jaune heard a sharp and wet crack a brief flash of discomfort a scream from the bullhead then the world went black.

Jaune... Jaune... Jaune!

"Z? What's the matter?" Jaune groaned he felt off his head felt like it had been split open and it felt like he was going to bleed out. Jaune groaned in pain as he moved his limbs, counting them one to four he moved his fingers one by one counting them making sure they all worked before-

"Hey! Hey! You ok man? You came from the sea!" A chirpy voice said as Jaune groaned.

"Hello?" He said opening his eyes a sharp light filled them as harsh light spilled down stabbing him in the eyes as a face came into vision.

"Wait you are a guy right? Your hair is making it kind of hard to tell." A pair of blue eyes came to focus as Jaune sighed.

Why do I feel the need to groan? Jaune thought, opening his eyes.

Jaune groaned as he looked up. Jaune saw a pair of blue eyes as a hand was held down to him.

"Hey, bro! You ok?" The boy asked as Jaune groaned.

"Yeah, I think so. Thanks." Jaune said as the boy took his offered hand, he gripped his hand tightly and pulled. The boy wore a red jacket with black pants, he had light blue hair and goggles on his head. He had a slick smile as he pulled Jaune up.

"Hey, there, man! Name's Neptune! You are a guy, right? Just checking, making sure you know!" Neptune asked as Jaune let out a sigh of relief the boy wore gloves, but there were slots where the fingers slid out, and their skin touched, and their fingers rubbed.

At least it's a boy

For now, wait till morning. Z said as Jaune mentally slapped himself.

Z! You can't keep gender-bending people!

"So where the hell did you come from? I saw you fall into the ocean! Where the hell did you drop?" Neptune asked as Jaune paused he thought of a lie.

"Yo! Nep! You found her?" Another voice this one strong and masculine slid over the sound of crashing waves as Neptune winced.

"Ah forgive him he doesn't know he still thinks you are a girl."

"It's fine," Jaune said too tired and drenched to argue.

No, it's not

Calm down, they seem nice.

"Yo! Sun! Over here!" Neptune yelled as a monkey faunus with blonde hair a golden squishing monkey tail, and blue eyes rounded the dune, Jaune paused, taking in his surroundings he was on the bank of a short? He was on the upper part of a sand dune, and he was soaked.

"Great I'm wet-

"Not because I ran up, is it?" The monkey faunus asked smiling ear to eat, he wore a tattered pair of jeans a loose white shirt that showed off his impressive muscled chest.

"Sun! That's a he!"

"What? No way! I was sure he was a chick! You sure you are a dude?"

"I have a dick."

"Damn! Well, that sucks! But hey! It is what it is, what's up, man! Name's Sun! Sun Wukong!" He said, shaking Jaune's hand.

Oh she's going to be a pretty woman

Would you not!?

"So, man! Tell me! What's your name?"

"Jaune... Arc"

"Sup Jaune! Me and my guy are actually on our way to get some food you want to come? We got meat!" Sun said winking at Jaune.

"I... I guess so? Let's get some food."

"Hell yeah! Let's eat some meat!"

"You would like meat, huh?"

"Easy Bro! No, homo!" Sun said laughing as Z began to smirk.

Oh, I am going to love making them into women.

You really need to stop that Z. You re going to get us in trouble you know? Jaune thought as he and Z followed them.

"I need new clothes..." Jaune said to himself as he looked up into the bright night Vacuo sky. After a good meal of meat and water, Jaune went to bed in a shack a literal shack Sun and Neptune were sleeping in. The two of them let Jaune stay with them and soon under a broken roof, the homeless best friends allowed him to say letting him have a free half room in the torn shak that had a massive hole in the roof letting Jaune see a perfect view of the brilliant night sky and shattered moon greeting his eyes as Jaune looked up into a stary sky and slept.

Jaune awoke to Screaming

"AH! JAUNE! JAUNE!" Someone was screaming at the top of her lungs as Jaune knew what was happening.

"Oh, hell."

Ah shit. Here we go, I wonder what she looks like?

"Z you really need to stop doing this! People can get traumatized by this! Their bodies are not your playthings dammit!" Jaune hissed as the parasite shrugged.

But it is fun.

"For you! What is Sun-

"JAUNE!" A woman said as Jaune saw her Sun had changed, she still had her impressive abs her eyes still blue but now-

"No bra!" Jaune said as two large C cups bounced Jaune blushed, looking away as-

"JAUNE! I'm a girl!"

"So am I!?" Another voice shrieked as Jaune gulped.

"Sun! IT's ok! I can fix you!"

"Heh... I go tits." Sun or-

Sunni. Let's call her Sunni. Yes, Sunni is nice. Z thought as Sun- Sunni Gripped her breasts, forcing her large chest up squeezing her chest together with a large goofy smile on her face as she grinned.

"Heh... they feel soft" Sunni smirked as Jaune gulped.

"Sun or Sunni are you feeling ok? I mean you just became a girl..."

"I... I know that but... hehehehe... I have tits" Sunni said a large loopy grin on her face as she pressed her breasts together, smashing him, giving Jaune a full view of her open chest as Jaune gulped.
She's taking this well. Jaune thought as Sunni pushed her breasts together, making a wide smile appear on her face as she pushed her breasts together grinning like a fool.

"I! Sunni, are you sure you are good?"

"I am just fine Jaune... l have breasts!" Sunni said shaking her chest as Jaune blushed.

"I know that-

"I"m dead! I died and am in hell!" A girl with blue hair larger breasts than Sunni yelled running in.

"Neptune!?"

Neptunia.

"Are you-

"I'm going to die! That's it! I'll jump off a cliff then die! I can't live!" Neptunia said, running away as Jaune sighed.

"Should we chase her?" Jaune asked as Sunni shook her head still absentmindedly playing with her breasts as she smirked.

"Nah she's good. I think" Sunni said groping her chest as Jaune sighed.

"So, what now?" Jaune asked.

"Give me a hug!" Sunni said as she hugged Jaune Tight! Jaune got a face full of bare chest making him blush-

You know at times like this I love the fact that I left that castle with you.

I don't know how this is working out, but it's working Jaune thought getting out of Sunni's chest. He gasped loudly coughing as he was let go.

"HAH! I'm a girl! This is awesome!" Sunni shouted already smirking as Jaune sighed.

Wait till you get a period.

Nah she won't.

The hell!? How!?

Magic.

I... I don't want to know

Good. Cause I'm not telling you.

You-

"HELP! Please! Doctor! Ok look I know this will sound crazy, but I am a girl!"

"Oh, this is not good," Sunni said as-

"What!? NO! I was not a girl yesterday! I was a guy! What!? No, I am not On drugs! What?! No, I did not have a sex change operation! What!? NO! I didn't do any strange dust! I am not on drugs dammit! I am sober! I am not high! What!? Don't hang up! Don't hang up! NO! GODDAMMIT!" The Traumatized voice of Neptunia? Said as she walked in she was shaking her head, her body trembling fear in her blue eyes.

"Guys... I'm a girl!" Neptunia said fear in her eyes as Sunni smiled.

"Yeah! We are girls!"

"Sun-

"Sunni?"

"Sunni!? What does it matter!? What the fuck do we do now?!" Neptunia screamed as Jaune stood to placate the traumatized teen.

"How about we get something to eat?"
"FOOD!? You want to eat food!? We have just had the most life-altering experience of our lives! And you want to eat!?"

"Hell, I want to eat!" Sunni said smirking as Jaune nodded.
"Ok! Food it is!" Jaune shouted as he began to sweat. Food was always a good idea, and today was no different.

"Let's get some food. I think that can help us out?" Jaune said as Sunni nodded her massive chest Swaying in her top her braless chest hung heavy as Jaune blushed.

It is a thing of fucking beauty. You know that?

Do I?

You do.

That is one way to think of it Jaune said as he gulped.

"SO! Sunni! Neptunia!"

"It's Neptune!"

"Neptunia!" Sunni grinned.

"Neptune is a boy's name!" Sunni shouted as Jaune sighed.

"So! Food?"

"Hell yeah! I'm starving! You think I can get free food because of my chest?"

Yes.

YES.

"Let's find out?" Jaune asked as he began to walk with Sunni and Neptunia as they walked out of the room the shack still full of the low groans of Neptunia as they walked out.

As they ate later at a diner Sunni was adapting well to her chest.

"I Love being a girl! IT's so fucking good! Everyone is nice to me! People give me free food!"

"That's because you keep flashing your tits at people!" Neptunia hissed her body shivering she slowly ate her bit of ham and bacon as Jaune sighed.

"I think you two look good?"

"YOU!?"

"Me!?"

Us?

"YOU! You did this! As soon as we rescued you, we became girls!? Is that just coincidence!?" Neptunia demanded Jaune's eyes went wide before Sunni baled him out.

"Easy man- girl it's just Jaune. He's ok. I mean you don't think he purposely turned us into women do you? It was probably radiation from a power plant, you know?"

"What!? What power plant!?"

"I don't know but one of em!" Sunni said shrugging it off putting a piece of bread in between her breasts and suckign it off with her lips swallowing it in one gulp!

"That makes no sense!" Neptunia shouted as Sunni shrugged.

"So what? Nothing that we can do about it, right?"

"I... I... you are right.. what can I do but cry?" Neptunia asked moaning in futility as Jaune gulped eating their meal as they devoured a hearty brunch...

Time had just gone

"Jaune!"

"I see it!" Jaune said as he fired once. Fell Fired, killing the odd spider Grimm that had jumped out of the sand. The monster fell back a smoldering hole where its chest once was. It fell back a death groan from its lips as Jaune sighed. The Grimm were dying well enough so far and he could not ask for an easier fight.

"Well, that's over.'

Behind us!

"Jaune!"

A flash of boiling energy rolled over Jaune's head as a ball of blue plasma incinerated the Grimm that was jumping at him. Neptunia shot the Grimm before it could touch him. Neptunia had adjusted to her new body. Still dressed in her old male clothes of a red jacket white shirt, goggled jeans and tennis shoes. She had breasts now C cups and nice curvy figure. She sighed as Sunni jogged up to him her chest that was still bereft of a bra swayed heavily-

Bounce. Bounce. I love women.

I know.

Jaune thought as Sunni grinned.

"Good work, Nep! You got sloppy Jaune! Watch out for that!" She said yawning making Jaune blushed as she chest pushed on her shirt.

"I didn't mean to..."

"To stare at her chest?"

"Neptunia! I-

"Don't worry! It's all good Jaune! You are looking mighty handsome though." Sunni said licking her lips as-

"Oh, hell! Guys!" Neptunia yelled, holding up her scroll.

"Hunters!" Neptunia said as Jaune and Sunni gulped!

"Oh, fuck! We need to run!"

"No, shit! Let's go!" Jaune said as they ran. The three of them normally had nothing to fear in the sense of hunters but Jaune, Neptunia ran! They ran out as fast as they could sprinting past the hot rock fields desert-like masa.

Do you think she misses me? Jaune thought as he held his guns close to his chest.

"Jaune! Come on! Hunters!" Sunni said his new friend and gender-bent faunus running full speed as Jaune felt Z Slither into his neck.

Who? Blake? Ruby? Yang? Kali? Eve? Summer? Qrowe? There are a lot of she's in our life Jaune. Which one are we talking about? She asked the parasite hummed as Jaune sighed.

I... Blake? I mean it's been over a year-

She thinks about you every day.

"Duck!"

Neptunia said as Jaune slid under a rock group, sliding past it as the three ran hard back to their new home as Jaune sighed.

So she probably is pissed?

Worried that her brother and crush is missing maybe dead.

"I'm behind you!" Jaune said as they ran now normally this was par for the course hunting Grimm Without a license while not illegal drew attention and that was something Jaune did not need as he was a wanted man.

Do you think Tai went back to Menagerie?

He had not left when we did.

You think he went back?

Right to Kali. Told her everything.

Great. That's amazing Jaune said as the three made it into a mine shaft they called him. Filled with mattresses and junk food wrappers and misplaced blinking lights. Sunni slid a makeshift door shut as she smiled.

"We did it!" Sunni said the three back in the new home the odd mining hole that they have moved in half a year ago when a high tide had taken out their shack. Luckily the shaft was still connected to some form of power allowing sevral mismatched light bulbs to be hung in the air.

"Barley. Jaune you ok? You look off." Neptunia said as Jaune sighed.

"I'm fine. I just need some food."

"Eat up, dude!" Sunni said tossing Jaune a pack of chips that he caught in on hand.

"Thanks," Jaune said, taking a bite of the first chip crunching it as they moved on to the most important part of any post raid operations.

Weapons checks were always something that the three worked on. Sunni had her Gun chucks.

That is still the dumbest weapon that I have ever seen. Really how she did not shoot her dick off when she was a boy, I do not know Z thought as next to her Jaune saw Neptunia working on her plasma rifle. That weapon was more logical. As Jaune saw her working on it the small of her back had a pair of blue panties riding up as-

No Panty joke? Jaune thought as Z shrugged.

I have seen enough of them for the time. Besides I see enough panties, I don't need to look at all of them.

That is oddly mature Z...

Hey, I change, you know? I'm not the same parasite I have always been Z thought as Jaune nodded.

"Fuck! I'm starved! I want some food!"

"Chill out, girl. We got to clean the guns then go get food. After that, we can see about clearing out more of the Grimm ok?" Neptunia asked as they cleaned their weapons Jaune smiled Z had grown with him over the years and a half. Z was more mature how mature had the parasite been.

I'm sorry man I got you I won't mess up that bad again. Unless I do mess up again in which I apologize in advance for any misfortune or inconvenience that I will cause you in advance Z said as a Jaune sighed.

Be glad that I love you.

"Ok! So what do you two want to do today! I was thinking of me, and Jaune can make some money using your tricks," Sunni said the Faunus winking leaning over showing Jaune just enough cleavage to make him flush.

"Sunni that is a bad idea! You know how I feel about you and Jaune making money like that. We should go to the city and get some food."

"Ahh don't be a sour puss Nep!"

"I'll do what I think saves our lives! Why can't we talk to a hunter or two in there!"

You know what? Let's just chill. We can go to the city later I kind of want to, relax, you know?" Jaune asked as he leaned back on a small futon that by a small miracle from God had not been ripped in two but buckshot or molten navy plasma.

"You know that sounds like a good idea! I know we can make money later let's chill for a second." Sunni said flipping forward once rolling to Jaune making sure to roll, so she came up just by his side, sliding her cleave unto his arm making him gulp!

She's so close!

You have seen her with far less clothing in while she was doing much more than just rubbing on you, I don't see how this is a problem.

That was not the same!

Jaune. Less clothing.

"I got to say I don't like how you to make money. By playing Vacuo, Roulette is not a good idea. What if you die? Jaune did you ever think about that?" Neptune's asked frowning,

"I, not really?"

Cause you got a parasite best friend to manipulate the chamber, so you never die. Your welcome by the way.

Thank you. I was never taking it for granted that you keep me from getting my brains blown out.

"Yeah Jaune you are either the luckiest son of a bitch or most skilled cause you should be dead right now! Glad you are not though cause nights would not be as fun without a guy here you know?" Sunni hissed licking her lips as she blew Jaune a kiss making him fluster.

"Sunni! We are both guys! Come on!"

"Nah Nep, the last time I checked me, and you have not been guys for a long time, and Jaune is looking mighty tasty. if you know what I mean." Sunni said licking her lips Jaune flustered looking away from the girl that was a bit more than a friend as he coughed.
"Ok! Let's kill some more Grimm and sleep ok? We can get dinner in the city after sound good?"

"Sounds good to me but you are the only snack I see," Sunni said as Jaune coughed as Neptunia groaned.
"That's a guy!"

"And I am now a girl! And let me tell you Jaune if you ever wanted I can come into your sleeping bag and make sure you have something tasty to eat..."

Jaune hated cops. He hated them not because they did their job but because they liked to ask questions. Queasiness Jaune did not like to answer. Like why they were attacking Grimm and where their guns came from all things Jaune did not want to answer. And when the cops find you killing Grimm without a liscense they tend to take you to the station to make you answer some questions that you would otherwise not like to answer.

"Ok kid just tell me something? Where did you get your guns who do you work for." The cop asked as-

WE WILL NEVER TALK TO A PIG! Z thought as Jaune rolled his eyes.

"Eh, I made them. They are my weapons." Jaune said shrugging his shoulders, the cop leveled a glare as he sighed,

"So you made them just like that fancy mask you got on? You know. Can't see your face well, right?" He asked as Jaune shrugged it was his mask-like it was his weapons. Jaune sighed as the cop rubbed his head.

He has too much bodyweight, his heart is getting clogged.

I never wanted to know that

I'm just saying it could save his life.

"Well since you and your friends are so insistent about raiding Grimm you are going to do it! With a bit of supervision, of course. We brought in a traveling huntress to help you clear out the nest, she just flew in, and well let's have you meet her, Ana see for yourself." The man said as Jaune sighed.

"Sure? Why not?" He asked as the man got up and walked to the door, owning it as he coughed,

"He's waiting for you." He said as-

Jaune, I need you to stay calm.

What why?

JAUNE. Please listen to me you need to be calm

Z. I am calm

Jaume, you have to stay calm-

"Ok. Where's this brat that can't take a hint?" A dry gravelly voice that sounded like crunching gravel with feet but with just a bit of feminine tinge said as Jaune paused. He knew that voice. He could never forget it.

"No..."

Jaune stay calm

The door opened twin glaring red eyes locked into him. A woman walked in tall a scuffed up white shirt, eyes red as blood hair matted back in a messy fashion. Her ample chest without a bra swung heavily a loose cross on it. Her entire body reeked of hard liquor, and she had an air of irritation on her as-

"Mom?"

"I ain't your mom kid, Names Qrowe Branwen and I think you got something for me to kill," Qrowe said taking along swig offer flask as Jaune almost fainted…

Time froze reality seemed to stop all at once, and freeze.

Jaune... please... listen to me, I need you to calm down.

Z's words did not even seem to phase Jaune his jaw dropped as he felt his fingers twitch. He felt his eyes widen to saucers as his breath caught in his lungs, his body shook and began to convulse as he felt his tongue tie in knots, ad time came to a grinding screeching halt and reality imploded.

"Eh? Kid? You alright? You don't look so well. Not that I expect much out of one of three kids busy trying to kill a damn Grimm nest by themselves." Qrowe said, taking a deep swig of her flask, taking a deep gulp as Jaune felt a tear fall from his face.

There was a sharp intake of breath from Jaune as he felt his body shake. His eyes widened to the point of saucers as a low tremble filled his body.

"Mom?"

Jaune! Keep it together! You can't let her know who you are! Z hissed as-

"Mom? You just call me mom? Hate to say it kid but I ain't your mom. I got enough kid problems for the moment." Qrowe said, taking a step forward Jaune's initial shock of seeing his mother again wore off as he took in his mother's appearance and felt his heart crack Qrowe did not look good.

She had deep dark circles under her eyes. Her red eyes were bloodshot and worn a deep and tired look that came from long periods of no sleep and an utter lack of rest. Her clothes where dingy, filled with more stains than just food from lunch. The blotches of unwashed clothes that had not seen the inside of a dryer for week son end strained dirty clothes, wrapped around her fingers and eyes twitched unhealthily, and she reeked of liquor and not in the good way.

"Mom-

"You keep calling me. You got mommy issues or something? Wouldn't surprise me you raiding Grimm nests. You got a death wish or something?" Qrowe asked, walking in yawning loudly.

Jaune! Keep it tight! What are you doing!?

She looks awful! She needs help!

And now is not the time to do it ok!? Just bear with me I adjusted your vocals to sound deeper than normal just be cool.

"Ok kid I got to be honest with yah. I don't want to be here, and you don't want me to lecture you. So let's kill some Grimm I'll do a speech, and you promise to go to a hunter training school. Deal?"

"You... you don't look so good," Jaune said his voice cracked tears form in his eyes as he saw his mother's tattered form.

"Hey. News flash kid you look like Shit your own self so thank you." Qrowe drawled, a hissed, left her mouth as she sighed.

"Ok. Get your weapons we got to clean up some Grimm ok?"

"You should not be up!"

"I... what?"

Jaune be calm.

"You have not been sleeping!"

"I? So what?"

"So what!? You need to sleep!" Jaune said, almost begging as he felt his legs begin to tremble.

"I need to get another drink. Now come with me, or I drag you out, ok?" Qrowe asked the woman glared down as Jaune whimpered.

"Please... don't do this."

"Do what? You are the one that wants to kill Grimm, not me. Or I do, but you know what I mean!" She said as Jaune gulped.

"I... ok... let's go."

"Finally now fucking come on we got shit to do," Qrowe said as Jaunr gulped.

"Down! Get down, kid! Watch your fucking head!" Qrowe said the two of them leaped down a small cave the Grimm in it Beowulf types growled as Jaune shot one. He hoped she would not recognize her own sons' weapons as they began to battle the monsters. The two cleared them out soon enough and?

"I love you," Jaune said as Qrowe paused the woman killed a Grimm ripping out its throat as she frowned.

Jaune!? What are you thinking!? Z thought as Jaune gulped loudly.

I don't know! I just said what I thought!

"Kid... I hate to break it to you, but you are a bit too young for me. Not that you are not attractive well, you are not that horrible to look at." Qrowe said a half-smile on her face as Jaune raised his weapon.

Jaune?

"Whoa! Kid! I know it was an insult but-

"Behind you," Jaune said as a whoosh of superheated air filled the air killing the Beowulf behind Qrowe in a second.

"Ah... I didn't see that there..."

"Yeah. I could tell. Maybe if you didn't drink all day, this could be avoided?"

"Hah, maybe if you didn't confess your love to complete strangers in the middle of a Grimm infested hell hole you would notice that monkey faunus girl has the hots for you."

"What!? Sunni is just my friend!" Jaune said as Qrowe raised an eyebrow to him cocking her head as she smirked.

A friend who likes for you to sleep naked in her sleeping bag.

Z! Not now!

That is not what you say when she slides in and-

Z!

I'm just saying! I didn't think that you could use a tail like she does. Not that I am complaining.

"Really now? You don't think she has the hots for you? Well, I didn't know there was a boy as dense as my son." Jaune felt the air leave his lungs. He felt his gut shake as he gulped.

Jaune don't-

"You have a son?"

"I sure do. He's not the smartest kid ever, but he's got a good head on his shoulders." Qrowe said, smiling walking down the hall of the mine as Jaune froze.

"Your son... what's his name?"

"Jaune Branwen. Short, blonde hair gets scared in a thunderstorm."

"I did not!" Jaune hissed his cheeks, turning beet red as Qrowe paused.

"You did not what?"

"I... I don't think he was that scared during a thunderstorm! Really you are exaggerating!" Jaune said blushing as Qrowe gained an evil grin on her lips.

"Really now? Let me tell you, kid, he came into my room in the middle of the night screaming his head off and practically burrowed into my chest! He couldn't even talk he was shaking so much!" Qrowe said laughing so hard she shook as Jaune blushed.

I did not!

Yes. Yes, you did. I saw

"Both of you stop!"

"Both of us? Kid, you feeling ok?" Qrowe asked pausing as Jaune shook his head.

"I... yeah... I'm fine... your son, can you tell me about him? What's he like?" Jaune asked as Qrowe smirked.

"Sure can. But first what's your name? Can't just keep calling you kid now can I?"

"Jaune... my name's Jaune." He said as Z rolled her eyes or she tried to roll his eyes as Qrow cocked an eyebrow to Jaune as they walked down a mine shaft.

"Jaune? J o h n?" Qrowe asked as Jaune gulped.

"N-no. e." Jaune said as Z sighed.

Well, let's not try to be sneaky. No, let's just be as blunt as a deathstalker in the labs.

What do you want from me!?

To be a bit more careful?

I'm trying!"

"Hah... Jaune? That... that's a rare way to speel that name... You know my son is called Jaune..." Qrowe said a deep drawl in her tone as she lowered her tone.

Ok. Jaune I need you to calm down and-

"Where is he? You said he was not at home? WHere's your son Qrowe?"

And NOT do that.

"He... he ran away..." Qrowe said taking a long swig from her flask as Jaune gulped.

"Why?"

Just pour gas on this fire.. why not?

"I... I don't know why." Qrowe said, taking a deep sigh her body going tense as she gulped.
"Do... do you have an idea?"
Oh, this is going to be fucking amazing.

"I... I used to think it was because of me... that he didn't like me or want me to be his mother anymore."

"That's not true! Jaune always wanted you to be his mother!"

Ok. So we are just yelling now.

"Whoa! Easy kid! I... thanks... for saying that but I know why he did it."

"You... you do?"

"Course I do. I thought he did not want, to be with me anymore... that he finally saw me as the shitty mom that I am, but an old friend of mine Tai told me otherwise. According to him, he's on some type of crazy-ass quest to prove himself by saving the world! I can't believe it..."

"I... where do you live? With your son..."

"In a small hole in the wall town called Patch. A small island in the middle of nowhere... We live in a small apartment in the city, I keep the place clean, you know?"

"You clean?" Jaune asked even in the mask Qrowe saw his eyebrows raise.

"Hey don't sound so shocked... he Jaune was big on cleaning I never really did it when he was around so not that he's gone I try to keep the house clean so when he comes back he knows I'm listening to him and thinking about him... and so he won't run away... again," Qrowe said as Jaune gulped.

I have to say something.

No. No, you do not. In fact, you should not say a goddamn thing!

"Your son... I."

"What would you do if you found him now?"

"Depends. Before or after I strangle him, hug him till he passes out and then berate his ass for making me worry than spanking him until he can't walk? After that, I'll tell him I love him and never want to lose him again... and... I'd ask him why he ran away... I know why or I think I do but I want to hear it from his own mouth, what really happened not the bull shit like about cross-dressing he told Tai."

"I... I think I know why he ran?"

Jaune... keep it together.

"You do?"

"Yeah…"

Jaune...

Jaune paused, he took a second to think, gathering his thought as she gulped.

"I think that your son wanted you to be proud of him."

"What? Why the hell would he want that? I was always proud of him. I have never been more proud of something in my whole life!" Qrowe hissed Jaune felt a knife dig and twist in his heart a tear welled up in his eyes as the walked down the abandoned shaft.

Jaune. You must be calm. She does not know it is you. Calm. Down. Z warned as Jaune whimpered.

"I... you are proud of him?"

"Of course, I am. I'll never not be proud of him. I love him... he's an arrogant, shy, smart ass that is always a bit to smart for his own good, but he is my son." Qrow said an oddly soft look on her face as she sighed.

"Look... Jaune... I don't know why but I like you. I feel like I can talk to you... about this." Qrowe said as Jaune gulped, he felt his breath hitch as he narrowed his eyes.

"I think Jaune would love to know that you are proud of him. I think he is very happy to know that you are proud of him."

"Really? What about you kid? You got any family?" Qrowe asked as Jaune gulped. The two walked side by side the mine shaft letting a lone gust of frigid air blow between them as the dim lamps illuminated their journey.

"I... yeah... a few."

"A few? Like what? Been tired talking about me all the time what about you?"

"I... I have a mom... and some sisters a lot of sisters really and some people that are just like a mom or dad to me."

"Really? You have a mom? Tell me about her. What's she like? How is your relationship with your mom?" Qrowe asked as Jaune?

"I... my mother is complicated."

"Complicated? Good or bad complicated?"

"Both... she's a raging alcoholic. Even if she says, she is not."

"Ouch... she sounds like a mess."

"She loves me more than life itself...even if I do not deserve it."

"Hey... I think your mom would say you deserve love." Qrowe said punching his shoulder the small impact sent jolts of electricity through him.

"I think she used to have a crush on my uncle?"

"Ok... that is interesting..."

"But... she's alone... she does not open up to people. She closes herself in and builds walls... she made it hard for me to talk with her.. and to be her son... I just wanted her to be more open with me..."

Pot. Meet the stove

"I... did you talk to her? Ever? About any of this?"

"No... I... For the longest time, I thought she did not like me. She did not need me I was just a child she was stuck with a burden to her that she would be rid of in a second if she could but now?"

"Now?"

"Now I don't know if I was a burden to her..."

You know you we were not a burden.

"I think I might have made a mistake about running away."

"You really ran? Fuck kid... you can't do that... she misses you right now... she loves you Jaune don't let your mother worry."

"I... I know and for what it's worth? I'm Sorry," Jaune said as he gripped his fist. The two stopped at a semi-working elevator shaft. The thing had a rusty iron bar held up over a thin metal floor. A rickety wall of wood surrounded it as a single console for controls was at the back of the cart as they walked on.

"Here's our ticket to the top. Climb on after I see if it's alright for us to use." Qrowe said she checked the shaft after a moment and waved him up.

"Ok climb on let's get the hell out of here." She said as they climbed onto the rickety elevator, it ground as it dragged them up.

"Ok kid... your mom... she loves you ok?"

"I... I know..."

"Then don't worry about this. Trust me... I want my son back... I want him back in my arms more than anything I... I would do anything for just one, and I do mean one more time to hug him, you know?" Qrowe asked a small tear appeared in her eyes as Jaune moved he hugged her side Jaune froze his heartbeat into his ears as-

"Jaune? Why are you hugging me?" Qrow asked perplexed as they boy who was oddly familiar with her own son hugged her tightly, Jaune gripped her waist not saying a word as Z sighed.

Jaune... I know we don't always get along, but you need to make a choice. What makes you happy? Do you want to do this? Keep wandering around till we get to Beacon? Or do you want to go back to Qrowe?"

I... Qrowe... your son if he came back right now... and he wanted to be a hunter what would you say?"
"What? Why are you asking me that of all things?"

"I just want to know... if that is ok..."

"I would say, ok? I'd smack him once for the worry, but I have no issues why?"

Jaune... do you want this? Do you want to go back to Qrowe? Or do you want to stay the path? You need to pick now.

Jaune paused as he raised his hands taking a deep breath.

"Qrowe... I know this is going to sound crazy."

"Kid you are making me think crazy," Qrowe said as Jaune gulped.

"I... your son... if I was him..."

"But you are not?"

"If I was! I would say I love you. I would say you are the best mother in the world and that the only thing I would ever want is for you to be proud of me.' Jaune said as the elevator shuddered the gate opened and-

Jaune! DOWN! Z thought as twin Grimm makes appeared. Jaune moved back as he saw twin Fang masks at the end of the door.

"Humans!"

"Fang!?" Qrowe hissed as guns were drawn and bullets shot out as Jaune began to scream.

"Fuck! Jaune? You ok?" Sunni hissed as Jaune grinned a nasty bleeding wound in his guts. Jaune was carried to the loading zone as Qrowe hissed.

"Some Fang grunts got the drop on us! I'll put him on a bullhead and clean them out." Qrowe said Jaune froze still in his mask. There were two medical bullheads outside waiting for them. Jaune paused as Qrowe put him on one. The three of them were being split up... the police chief had told them after they got back to the surface that they would be either put in a pre hunter academy or put in some kind of police force as orphaned children often where. Jaune was put on medical bullhead that he hoped would take him to a hospital to get him the doctors that he needed to as Qrowe sighed.

"Ok kid... you get out of here, and I'll make sure to clean the fang off ok?" Qrowe asked Jaune said nothing as the ship rose the craft roared up as Jaune smiled down to his mother. He waited till the ship was far enough to be out of jumping distance as Qrowe waved.

"See you later!" She yelled as Jaune took off his mask. There was a moment time froze. Qrowe's mouth fell, and she looked ready to pass out. Her eyes widened to saucers her body went still as Jaune waved to his mother just as the sliding door closed and the ship roared off. Jaune let out a deep sigh as feet walked up to him.

You going to be alright? Z asked as medics worked Jaune over he smiled as he nodded. He let the medics work him over as he felt tears form in his eyes.

"No... but I'm going to be ok." Ok, kid hold up we are going to Atlas. Get ready." The medic said as a woman walked up to him, she had a piercing blue stare with a knowing look on her face. She had a name tag with a word Schnee on her chest, the older woman smiled as Jaune grinned.
"You did well in your fight in the mines. I'll have you know that I have been monitoring your little group for a few months now so close to the Atlas border I can say that you especially impress me. You do good work." The woman said smiling down Jaune could not tell because of a sudden injection into his arm but the woman was gorgeous.

"Thank you, ma'am, I'll be ready."

Dear lord, those breasts. She can tie me up any day.

"You did well there, Jaune? Was that it? You did well in your fight tell me would you like a job?" The woman asked as Jaune paused.

"I... What kind of Job?"

"As a protégé of myself."

"What are you?"

"Ah... I am an Atlas specialist."

"Specialist Schnee?"

"Call me Winter," Winter said smiling smoothly the bullhead rocked, Jaune knew that a specialist was something like special ops and Qrowe knew he was alive and could track his treck to Atlas. If he was a speciaslt maybe that would lead to him having some protection?

I already hurt my mom enough running away, the next time I see her I'm going to show her I didn't just run for me. I'm going to show her that I have grown.

"You know? I'll take that deal. Winter?" Jaune asked, holding out a hand his side still bandaged as Winter smirked.

"Good. I am looking forward to working with you, Jaune. I'll make sure to tell my siblings that I am bringing a new friend I am sure they are looking forward to meeting you."

"Same here."

Well looks like life is pushing us to Atlas. I never liked the cold.

We'll manage. We always do.

"I can't wait to meet them," Jaune said as he smirked.
