When he finally knew that she had woken up, he immediately went towards the medical room, only to find everyone outside the room looking downcast, by this time Qrow had already leaved the place. Seeing them all outside, Silva immediately asked “What’s wrong? What happened?”

Out of everyone it was Blake who answered “It’s the girl. The moment she woke up, she went crazy and started attacking us. We tried holding her back, but she is quite strong. And at the moment we thought we caught her, she broke into glass shards and appeared somewhere else. Sometimes she would disappear completely”

“No matter what we did, we couldn’t touch her. In the end she started throwing stuff at us, making us leave the room”

“I understand, I will take care of it” He said as he saw Blake nod, she had full trust on him, after all she had participated in some small operations together with him and Adam.

Taking a small breath, Silva activated his eyes markings, this was a power he gained after he obtained the mark of bonds, the marking of the crow. The mark had the ability of strengthening his sight and made him able to see someone’s aura directly, this helped him deal easily with illusion semblances.

Opening the door he entered the room immediately, at the moment he moved his head to the size avoiding a bottle, moving towards a corner, the figure of a beowolf appeared in front of him and launched itself towards him, yet he ignored it completely.

The moment the Grimm touched him, it shattered into glass. He continued moving towards the corner, finally he stopped a few meters from it. His eyes never leaved the corner, at that moment different things appeared throwing themselves towards Silva, yet he never moved but continued standing in the same place.

Everything that touched him broke apart into shards, after some time things finally stopped and from the corner the figure of a disheveled girl, clothed in a medical robe appeared, she looked at him frightened, her eyes were heterochromatic and changed colors as she blinked, the top of her had little hair growing with the same color found on her eyes, light pink, brown and a white.

Silva couldn’t help but continue to look at her as he took of the mask he was wearing, as he confirmed the tragic past of one of the most mysterious characters in RWBY, the girl in front of him was none other than Neo or Neopolitan, the accomplice of Roman Torchwick. To be sincere he never expected to see her this way, even during the moment of the rescue she was too unrecognizable for him, and it was only after hearing her condition from Blake that he started to suspect.

And today he finally confirmed it, taking a deep breath he moved his hand towards his pocket, making her flinch and look at him warily, from his pocket he took a small package of cookies, he had to thank the small Ruby for this habit, he did not make any big actions, and just opened the package and started eating in front of her.

He gave big motions for every cookie he ate, yet even as he did he never broke eye contact with her, looking at him eating like that, Neo couldn’t help but stare at him dumbly, even with how scared she felt, looking at him looking at her, created a weird atmosphere between both of them, unknown to her this had calmed her down.

It was at the moment of his fourth cookie, that her stomach started to rumble making her a bit embarrassed, yet it was as if Silva never heard her, he continued to her fifth one, at that moment she couldn’t help but look downcast only to feel something hit her head and fell down her lap.

Looking down, she found a cookie on her lap, taking it with her hands, she looked to the boy in front of her puzzled, he never said anything but looked at her with a small smile as he made a gesture for her to eat it.

Little by little, she put the small cookie on her mouth and bit down on it, filling her mouth with a sweet sensation, unknown to her, her frightened eyes turned to tears, while a hand stroke her head gently, without her realizing, Silva was already in front of her, yet this time she didn’t try to push him away, but hugged him while bursting into silent tears.

Letting her release all her pent up emotions, Silva stood by her side until she finally stopped after drenching his clothes with her tears, taking a deep breath, Silva put his mask back on as he called Blake and the nurses to enter slowly, looking at them, Neo couldn’t help but tremble once more, yet under the words of Silva, she finally calmed down, and let her be examined.

He stood by her side, the whole time giving her comfort, while introducing Blake to her, thankfully Blake was better than him at taking care of people, as she was able to befriend Neo after she calmed down and let the nurses check her body, it seemed that she finally realized that she was no longer in danger, so he was finally able to leave her after a few hours, after leaving the room, he made a few calls to Ozpin and Ghira.

He had already decided what to do with her, as he was going to take her too Patch with him, as one of the most important antagonist of the series, he had to make sure to put her on his side, without her Roman wouldn’t be much of a threat in the future.

Inside Ozpin’s office, there were four people having a conversation, they were Ozpin, Glynda, Qrow and Summer. There seemed to be a heavy atmosphere surrounding them as Qrow talked, finally Ozpin couldn’t help but sigh as Qrow finished.

Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

“It’s no wonder why they did not made much actions after obtaining Atlas leak, they must had received support her support. To turn humans into Grimms, only Salem would think of something like that”

“With this she should probably realize that Silva markings are a completely different than the ones from the Ancient times. This show, Salem will finally begin to grow suspicious”

Hearing Ozpin say that, Qrow couldn’t help but ask “The Ancient times? Did this kind of things existed there?” All of them knew Ozpin true identity, so nobody thought anything about Qrow question.

“Of course, how do you think the Atlas tech started their investigations? I gave them a few basic markings. Yet they were completely different from the one Silva gave them, they could only shine. Different from his, where they create magical effects”

“Completely different from the markings of the past, his are more elaborate and structured, they are able to fit together with the point of time. As they seem to work just like a circuit would, carrying a purpose, even that ancient woman, seems to be shocked about them, for her to let those scientist study her marks” Ozpin said as he looked at a few photos on his desk.

At that moment Summer wanted to say something, but before she could, Ozpin already interrupted “Sadly because of the amount of reincarnations I have gone through, there are a few things that I have forgotten, most of the them related to the forgotten history”

“If I remembered a lot about them, I would had been the first one to give them all, yet there is not many things I remember, and what I did, is already at the hands of Atlas” he knew what Summer wanted to say, after all, Salem growing suspicions would mean that Silva, would no longer be out of her sight.

Ozpin knew that Salem was a highly intellectual individual, and once her suspicions were cleared, she would probably realize that it was not Ozpin, who revealed the power of markings to the world, so she would do everything in her power to find him, and with the ones that were able to escape, it was only a matter of time.

“Even if is like that, Ozpin, you are putting his life at risk” Summer said a little upset “You are giving him too much freedom, you never say anything about the operations he participates in, I understand that you are trying to raise to become a fine huntsman, but letting him see such a cruel world is not good for him”

“What are you getting at? Shot stack, what got you so upset?” Qrow asked while looking at her face

“Is his eyes” she said

“You mean, the fact that he is a silver eyes warrior?” asked Ozpin a little confused

“No that’s not it, Qrow you remember the day I met him? I remember that Silva eyes were still red, just as he had finished crying. When later Tai told me what happened, I knew that even with how talented you guys said Silva was, in the end he was nothing but a child”

“But the other day after seeing him, I was shocked. How could a boy his age show, such detached cold eyes towards someone. The fact that he was not bothered by corpses surrounding him, made it more bizarre” Summer said, as she remembered the gaze on his face, the moment she came out the bushes that night.

“It hasn’t been two years yet, and his gaze is already like that, how could you permit it? He is still a child!” She berated Qrow.

Hearing her everyone could not help but do silence, finally Qrow couldn’t help but sight as he said “He is no ordinary child Summer, stop treating him like one”

“How can you say that Qrow? I thought you were the one who understood him the most”

“Because I do, is that I’m telling you about it, I know him even more than you do, because he is just like me, a man willing to do whatever he can for what he wants” Qrow answered back.

“He is smart enough to understand the world situation, do you know what he told me once?” Qrow told them, this time his words gathered the attention of everyone in the room.

“He told me he wanted to change the world, to create a world where people aren’t drowning in despair, waiting for the time of their deaths in the hands of the Grimm, yet he knew that if he wanted to see that day, there was probably an incredible enemy he had to fight”

At that time Ozpin asked shocked “Qrow did you?”

“Of course no Oz, I wouldn’t tell him anything about Salem, yet you know what he told me when I asked him, why he thought that?”

“He told me that he was not willing to believe that the Grimms where the ones that pushed us to such situation”

After Qrow finished his words, everyone couldn’t help but feel stunned and marveled at the fact that Silva had figured many things out.

“Because of that I believe, that maybe he is the one who understand you the most Oz” This time he said that towards Ozpin.

“Why do you say so?” Asked Ozpin somewhat confused, maybe it was the amount of shocks he had received, that didn’t let him think correctly.

“C’mon Oz, with how intelligent he is, do you think he hasn’t realized that you used him as a bait from the very first time, of why you were so willing to let many Faunus see him that day?, or why you let so many Atlas researcher com to meet him, when his identity was supposed to be a great secret?” At that moment, Ozpin eyes seemed to have become to balloons, even Glynda who could infer most of Ozpin thoughts couldn’t help but feel shocked.

“How?” Ozpin asked. “I talk a lot with the Brat, and like I told you he is quite intelligent”

“I believe he is able to tell most of your future plans already, yet he never complains, he never pushes you for explanations. Oz, that brat trust you, he knows that all of what you do is for the best, his only complaint is that you are just too old fashioned” Qrow said with a mocking smile on his face, seeing that face on Ozpin is priceless.

“I only ask you, that before you put him in the spotlight, you tell him all, he has the right to know” He said one last time before taking a drink from his flask, and turning to leave the room, even with how loyal he was to Ozpin, he still had some complains inside his heart and he has just vented them all.

Seeing him leave, Ozpin just smiled wryly and thought “What a frightening little guy”

Taking a look towards the stunned Summer, Ozpin said to her “He is returning towards Patch in a few days, Summer, go with him, I believe it will help you both”

After hearing everything that Qrow had said. Summer was so shocked that she just looked at Ozpin and nodded absentminded, and followed Qrow outside the office.

Seeing them leave, Ozpin remembered Qrow words, as he thought that maybe his methods were really old fashioned.
