So more people were down with Aizen hating the gods than I expected, that's awesome because I had already planned on doing a lot with that. Enjoy.

Aizen drained the last of the liquid from his glass, the familiar burn of alcohol flowing down his throat was more comfortable than he thought it'd be. His drink of choice was usually saki but the bar Qrow had brought him to didn't have any, so instead he settled for what Qrow recommended, at least for the first glass. The swill the man drank was like drinking drain cleaner, so Aizen decided to go with a drink called scotch. He found he enjoyed it far more.

He and the drunken huntsmen had been drinking and talking for a little over two hours and Aizen could tell he was intoxicated, not nearly as badly as Qrow but enough that even he was beginning to slur his speech a little. "Alright gentlemen, last call was twenty minutes ago." The bartender said walking over to the pair and grabbed their empty glasses.

Aizen nodded and stood before placing a few lien on the counter to cover his bill, looking over to Qrow who was already stumbling to the door Aizen raised an eyebrow. "How much does he owe?" He asked holding up his wallet.

The bartender chuckled. "He's got a tab here, I'll just add his bill to it."

"How much does he owe in total, out of curiosity?" Aizen asked.

"I'll put it this way, the day he pays his tab off is the day I retire." The bartender laughed as he walked away.

Aizen quickly exited the bar and followed behind the stumbling man, being careful not to stumble himself as he walked. "So, wanna hit the next bar?" Qrow asked slurring heavily.

"No, I've had enough and so have you." He replied shaking his head.

The huntsmen grumbled. "You sound like Summer. Fine, come on." He said gesturing for the former soul reaper to follow him.

"And where are we headed exactly?" Aizen asked following behind the man. Normally he'd be looking into finding some kind of lodging for the evening but he wasn't tired. With his level of energy and stamina he could easily stay active and alert for over a week without need of sleep or food. He'd gotten plenty of rest of the boat ride from Atlas so he probably wouldn't be feeling tired for a few days at the minimum.

"My place, you need a place to stay and I have more booze there." Qrow responded as the pair walked, after a few minutes they came to a stop at the docks. Looking around Qrow jumped into the air and surprising Aizen a bit he turned into a bird and began flying out over the water. Most would probably find it shocking that a man could turn into a bird in such a way but this wasn't the first time Aizen had seen such things. Yoruichi Shihoin could do something similar though she could turn into a cat, he'd once even seen a man change into a carp. The point was that a person changing into an animal was not unheard of. Before his thoughts could continue Qrow came flapping back and returned to his normal form. "I just remembered, you can't fly. Damn I'm more wasted than I thought." He laughed.

Aizen shook his head. "Actually." He lifted his foot and stepped down on what seemed to be the air itself and continued walking forward until he was standing several feet above the surface of the water. "It's no problem at all."

Qrow shook his head. "Show off. Follow me." He said before shifting again and flying away, this time with Aizen following behind.

Patch, The Next Morning

Summer let out a tired sigh as she straightened Ruby's skirt, the girl was buttoning up her shirt as she got ready for school. "Mom, have you seen my hair ties?!" Yang called from down the hall.

"Next to your socks sweety." She responded before standing up and kissing her youngest daughter on the head. "Go get your bag from the kitchen, I'm gonna grab my swords." She said before walking into the hall and down towards the master bed room. Hanging from the wall on a pair of wooden bolts were her precious blades, they didn't get nearly as much use as they once did with her being a full time mom and teacher at Signal. Nowadays the only real action they got was when grimm attacked while she walked the girls to and from school, which was relatively rare on Patch. When it did happen it was over in moments, grimm on the island were almost always pitifully weak. Still she made it a point to given them regular cleaning and maintenance, she was still a huntress after all.

Grabbing the weapons she fastened them to the belt of her skirt and walked to the front door. "Girls hurry up, I'm waiting on the porch." She called out before stepping through the door. It didn't take a second for her to notice the man sitting cross legged against the wall next to the door, his eyes were closed and leaning against his shoulder was a sword. She tensed a bit and placed her hand on the handle of her swords. "Girls, stay inside." She called again before raising her foot to nudge the man.

"Good morning." He said opening his eyes before her foot touched him.

The silver eyed woman narrowed her eyes at him. "Who are you." She then inhaled a bit, he smelled like alcohol.

"Sosuke Aizen, I'm with him." He said before pointing to a leg hanging over the edge of the roof above the porch. Summer loosened up quickly after recognizing the shoe and stepping off the porch to get a better look. Sure enough Qrow was laid out on the roof of the house completely out cold. "He invited me to stay the night on your couch, but once we arrived and found the door locked he said he forgot his key." Aizen said standing to his feet. "I suggested knocking but he insisted that 'she would murder me if I woke the girls up again' so he decided to sleep up there and I sat here."

Summer groaned as she massaged her temples. "Well he wasn't wrong." She said before looking to the window where her daughters were watching, she gestured for them to come out. Her husband was an idiot who drank to much but he was a pretty good judge of character, he would never have brought someone to their home if he thought for a second they were a danger to their little girls. "Ruby, hand me your math textbook please." She told her daughter who nodded and pulled it out of her book bag. "Thank you Angel." With the same motherly smile she then turned and threw the hardback book up at the still unconscious man and struck him right against the side of his head.

"Son of aAHHHH!" Qrow was stopped from finishing his curse as he slipped and fell from the roof. "Ow." He groaned laying in a heap on the ground.

Ruby and Yang giggled at the sight and Ruby walked over to his crumpled form. "Morning daddy." She smiled.

"Morning kiddo, did you throw that?" He asked sounding oddly hopeful.

"No, no she did not." Summer answered for her earning another loud groan of despair. "Oh what's wrong, not happy to see your beautiful wife and daughters first thing in the morning?" She asked as sweetly as possible.

"Uncle Qrow's in trouble." Yang laughed.

Summer looked at her scroll and sighed. "I've gotta get them to school, when I get back you're getting an ear full."

"Can't wait." Qrow grumbled as the three walked off, Ruby and Yang waving goodbye.

Aizen stood watching the entire exchange from the porch with a humorous grin on his face. "Well that was something." He said as the huntsmen finally picked himself up. "So that was your family then, the blonde girl is your sister's daughter correct? She looks exactly like her."

Qrow dusted himself off and nodded before walking to the door. "Yea, Yang's mom is Raven and her father was our teammate Taiyang. She get's her blonde hair from him."

"Does she know who her mother is?" Aizen asked curiously.

"Yeah but she holds a serious grudge against her for leaving after she was born. That's probably why she calls Summer mom, aside from the fact that she raised her as her own daughter." Qrow explained as he took a seat on the couch and began removing his boots, a few moments later he kicked them off and stood. "Look, I'm hung over as hell and when Summer gets back she's gonna be pissed I came home drunk again. So I'm gonna take a shower and some pills, you can have the couch." Qrow said standing and walking towards the stairs.

Aizen sat down on the offered coach and closed his eyes as he began focusing his spiritual energy around his body, it had been so long that he'd nearly forgotten what it felt like to be hung over himself. Luckily he had mastered a technique long ago from Unohana that he knew the current Head Captain would kill to know. By circulating his energy in a rapid yet controlled fashion he could basically burn away any lingering toxins in his system. It was originally designed to be used on poisons but he found it worked just as well on hang over, though he was still going to need to replenish his fluids.

Standing he walked into the kitchen that was attached to the living room and walked to the sink and removed his glasses. Turning on the water he quickly washed his hands before splashing his face a bit. After a few seconds of that he began drinking from his cupped hands. Turning off the water he swept his hair out of his face and turned to go back into the living room but paused. He caught his reflection in the chrome refrigerator, he couldn't help but remember his time leading the Espada. Shaking his head he went back to the couch.

Two Weeks Later

Aizen side stepped an over head slash before ducking and rolling backwards to avoid a volley of bullets fired from nearby. He smiled widely as he felt two more opponents in the air above him coming down with weapons pointed at his back. He had been able to figure out their strategy earlier on, they were trying to force him into a specific position so they could launch their trap. In a blur however Aizen pivoted around the falling enemies attacks and grabbed both by their shirts and with great force threw the pair at the other two attackers sending all four tumbling away.

"Alright, that's enough." Aizen smiled standing up straight and looking at the four Signal students. "You've all clearly been practicing a great deal since our last spar two days ago. Were I a less experienced opponent that trap would have definitely worked. My only real critique is that it was pretty easy to tell you were all moving in a stiff way, like you were merely performing a movement you've already practiced a thousand times before. Try and make it feel more fluid, that way you won't tip off your opponent that you're doing something specific." Aizen instructed the students before looking to the edge of the arena. "Did you have anything you'd like to add Mrs. Branwen?" He asked the woman who'd been watching the match closely.

After staying with Qrow and Summer for a day and speaking with the pair over lunch he'd mentioned that he had great respected for teachers and enjoyed teaching young ones himself. After discussing the trade for a while Summer offered him a position as a substitute teacher for a few weeks while Qrow left for another mission, something he was happy to accept. He'd never had an opportunity to this many children combat skills and strategy before, not since his time at the soul reaper academy at least.

So after another day he rented a small apartment on the island and signed on to teach for the next month and a half. "Not at all, I believe you covered everything I was going to say perfectly." As she said this the bell rang signalling the end of class and earning a series of groans from the students. Summer giggled. "Wow, they usually groan when classes start and cheer when their over, not the other way around."

Aizen smiled and nodded. "I try to make learning something student can enjoy, it's something most mentors do but I've found that if you simply teach them the way they want to be taught rather than how you were taught they retain more." He explained to the silver eyed woman. "Come, I believe it's about time for lunch Mrs. Branwen, my treat." He spoke with the utmost politeness as always, something Summer had been pleasantly surprised to learn after getting to know the man. Usually friends of her husband were as crass and difficult to deal with as he was, as much as she loved him she would be the first to admit that Qrow could be a real pain in the ass at times. Not Aizen however, the man was always a delight to be around and the children loved him, Yang and Ruby included.

"That sound wond-" She was cut off by her scroll ringing. "I'm sorry." She pulled it out and noted with a frown the ID. "Yes Professor?" She was quiet for a moment before her frown deepened. "Is he injured?" She asked sounding worried. "How long?" Another brief silence. "I'll be there soon." She then hung up the call and looked to Aizen. "Qrow is pinned and has been for two days, his arm is broken. They need someone to go extract him, I'm needed at Beacon."

Aizen nodded. "I'll take you, it'll be quicker than a bullhead."

So one of the main differences in the girls personalities will likely be their relationships with the Branwen twins. They'll see Qrow as more of a father than an Uncle, also I've always been a fan of the 'Qrow is Ruby's dad' theory. And Yang won't really care about Raven if not down right hating her, she'll consider Summer her mother and no one else. Leave me a review and tell me what you all think. LATER.
