A/N

Alrighty guys, so here it is! The fiftieth, wait, sorry, fifth chapter of Counterparts! This is mostly just a filler chapter (I needed both teams back at Beacon for chapter 6 :P), so... sorry if it seems a little dark or not up to standard. Anyways, enjoy!

"What was that about?" Red asked. He was in team RWBY's dorm room, along with Blake, Braxton, Will, and everybody from team JNPR. Yang, sprawled on her bed, staring at the ceiling, answered. "He's an old acquaintance of mine that I MAY have had a bit of a fling with when I was younger." She sighed.

"I don't know why you guys are so worried." Yang said, turning onto her side and propping her head up with an elbow. "He... did some bad things but ultimately tried to be a thoughtful guy."

"But you thought he was dead, no?" Ren said, sitting on the floor by the door. Yang sat up fully.

"Yeah, I thought he was dead," she said, running a hand through her hair. "But evidently he isn't, and that's fine."

"You sure? He was pretty rude to you in the pub..." Blake said, from behind Yang's dangling legs.

"Of course I'm sure! Plus, you DO NOT want to fight him, he's crazy strong."

"Oh?" Braxton said, his interest piqued. "How strong is crazy strong?"

"Like... stronger than everyone in this room PLUS the rest of Beacon."

There were a chorus of gasps, omigawds, whistles, and even the occasional eyebrow raise as everyone absorbed that information.

"Are you sure you're not exaggerating...?" Jaune said, a bit tentatively.

"I wish I was..." Yang said, shaking her head. "I once saw him take on 5 Cyclops at once, and come out unscathed."

"SERIOUSLY?!" Nora squealed, hiding behind Ren. "He sounds scary."

"Whatever the case," Red said, cutting back in. "He now knows you're a student at Beacon, will that put anyone here in danger?"

Yang looked thoughtful for a moment. Then she shrugged. "It shouldn't. I mean, he might come here to see me, but I'm sure he won't hurt anyone."

"Alright well," Red said, scratching the back of his neck. "You all should get to bed, just make sure you lock your doors."

"Our doors don't have locks." Jaune said sheepishly. Red gaped at the boy. "Your... doors... don't have locks?!"

"Nope," Jaune replied. "Prof. Ozpin says they're a 'fire hazard'." Red facepalmed.

"Well... in that case put a chair or something against it!" he said, exasperated. "Just make sure no one can get in."

"But wouldn't that be more of a-" Jaune started to say, before Pyrrah wisely placed a hand over his mouth. Red shook his head and turned back to Yang.

"Alright, now that that's settled, we should get going." Yang nodded. "Be safe."

Red winked at her and headed out the door, followed by Will and Braxton. Team JNPR got up too, saying their goodbyes and heading out the door. Blake stretched.

"I'm gonna take a shower, if that's not objectionable to anyone?" she said, grabbing a towel and starting towards the bathroom, turning her head towards Weiss. The heiress simply nodded, absent-mindedly staring at her scroll. Blake looked to Yang. She made a shooing motion with her hands. "Hurry up, I'm gonna use it after you."

As Blake left the room, Weiss called Yang over to her.

"Yang, take a look at this." she said, shoving her scroll in the blond's face. Yang took the offered scroll and read what it had to say. She frowned as she handed it back.

"Seriously?" she asked, staring quizzically at Weiss. The girl nodded. "It's true. There have been more and more Grimm appearing in Remnant, as of 3 hours ago, right around the time you 'discovered' Russia."

Yang grimaced. Why'd she have to be so cold? Then she shrugged. After all, she was Weiss, aka the 'Ice Queen'. (Hey!) Yang grinned and threw her arm around her friend.

"I'm sure it's nothing to worry about!" she said, giving Weiss a noogy. Said girl tried to push the blond off of her, to no avail. She then tried to grab Yang's hair, but stopping as she remembered what had happened in the Emerald Forest. Then she smiled a truly evil smile, and, making her hands flat, jabbed them into the berserker's side. Yang howled and instantly let go of Weiss, falling on her back, laughing. Weiss, still smiling, said, "Time for revenge!", and proceeded to tickle the laughing girl into submission. Little did they know Braxton had come back into their room, as he had forgotten his cloak.

He stared at the display with wide-eyed horror for a full minute, before Blake came back out of the shower, NOT wearing a towel. As he heard the door to the bathroom open, he automatically looked up, only to be greeted by the sight of Blake's completely naked body. Not that it wasn't an unpleasant sight, but let's just say it caused Braxton the biggest nosebleed of his entire life.

"Yang? Weiss? I thought I heard a..." Blake said, as she came out of the shower. She stopped as she saw Braxton in the room, hand reaching for his cloak as he stared wide-eyed at the display Yang and Weiss were putting on. Then he looked to her. And then, once the blood started to trickle out of Braxton's nose, she realized she wasn't wearing a towel. Her face changed colour, going from pale to beet red in an instant. Braxton quickly activated his Aura, turning him invisible and allowing him to duck out the door without further hassle.

Weiss looked up from her hilarious tickle torture, and seeing Blake standing there in her birthday suit, started to laugh even harder. Then her face changed colour and there was a alight whooshing sound, as if a wraith had just passed out of the room. Weiss simply shook her head, still smiling, and went back to her work. This was gonna be a fun night...

"Look at me!" Ruby said, floating upside down in front of Green. The twin simply rolled her eyes, for what felt like the millionth time.

"You're almost there!" Ruby said, flipping around so that she was standing upright. "I've been counting, you've rolled your eyes 999,969 times! Now 999,970 times!"

Fuck me...

Poor Green. Anyways, sorry about the short chapter and long wait time. It's really hard to write stories when you don't do any sort of brainstorming at all xD. Alright, the next chapter should be out sometime next week (hopefully before Wednesday) and it'll probably be a bit longer (again, hopefully). Also, I've been experimenting on A Deadpool/RWBY crossover to celebrate the confirmed release of the new Deadpool movie! So if you like boobs and dismembered dicks, that's the story for you!

HELL YEAH IT IS!

Oh... why are you here?

I heard my name, so I came.

Why is 'came' not in italics?

'Cause I just squirted all over Yang's b-

Alright! Well! That was Deadpool right there, so if you didn't like that little conversation, don't read the story (you really shouldn't, even if you did find that funny. You're gonna die, and it's not gonna be of laughter)! Later!

...and then Ruby saw us and she was all like, "WTF?!", and I'm like, "Hey girl, give Daddy Deadpool some of that nice a-"

GO. AWAY.
