Protagonist POV

Interrogation Room, Vale Police Department, Remnant

Having grown up in a respectful and catholic family, being in a police department seems just wrong.

My childhood had been one of the most average:

Two supportive parents, some mixed trophies from the various competition I won and a stable, sure future.

Then things went... wrong.

The single door of the room opens and a man in his thirties enters alone.

He was smoking a cigar and was well-dressed. Probably some higher-up officer.

I notice a blank file in his hands as he slowly sits on the chair opposite to me.

"You are an enigma, son." His voice is quite loud, yet I find myself unable to detect any sort of emotion.

Even a negative tone would have been much more comforting at this point.

"You seems to have appeared out of thin air. No Birth Certificate, no school diploma and no identification with any of our Criminal Database." He forward to me the blank file with a normal, common pen.

I hesitate at first, but decided prudently to compile the form.

...Now that I notice, I don't think I have explained how I found myself in this surreal situation.

It started just few hours ago...

Six hours earlier, Train Station

I was at my hometown station, ready to go at the university. It was still quite new to me, having always been left at the school's entrance by one of my parents while they were going to work.

Differently from everyday, the station was silent and almost abandoned if not for me.

'Maybe today nobody felt the need to risk their skin in this freezing weather..'

The invernal season had started recently and the temperatures were reaching an all-time low.

All this silence was unnerving at first, as if it was one of the cliche signs in the horror movies.

Yet, seeing that no monster was jumping out from their hiding spot, I calmly resolved it was probably a normal occurance with this time.

I hear the familiar sign of the train coming in the binary I was waiting.

With my backpack filled to the brim by schoolbooks, I enter the train and sit on the first, free seat. And then I understood something was wrong.

The train was also empty and seemed to have been for a long time. I shiver a bit at the whole setting, hoping that the 'horror movie' idea wasn't real at all.

The train starts to move and I curse my moments of indecision, silently praying to have not forfeited my life because of my lack of activiness in the morning.

Time passes and another weird occurence happens. The first stop should have been reached after just ten minutes and yet the train was still moving in the dark tunnel.

Looking around I also saw the lack of any stops signs. I was starting to worry for my life.

Then a light seemed to come from where the train was moving. It was the end of the tunnel, my prayers had been answered.

As the train slowed down, I started to get up from my seat and moved to the closests door.

Once the train had halted his movement, the doors opened and I immediately jumped off of it, uncaring if it wasn't my stop.

I start to pace quickly towards the stairs, determined to get out of that place.

My once was well-composed emotional mask fall, now confusion took over.

While I had not explored my city to the fullest, I could recognize most of it.

And I was not in my city.

One hour later

The city was brilliant, its building elevating to heighs not even the ones of my hometown reached.

I start to walk in a more secure location, possibly an alley, and try to get a glimpse at where I was.

That was the first, solid plan and one of the few flawless I had ever created

Sadly Murphy seemed to have a relative in this plane of existence too and he had to think otherwise.

"PLEASE HELP! WE NEED HELP!" A feminine yell echoes in the street full of people.

I was not giving much interest at first, knowing that someone would have helped.

The fact that nobody seemed to give much attention to the yelling, I start to move closer, curious why nobody was actually paying attention to the woman.

I admit that at that point I almost freaked out at seeing the woman.

My only justification being that I never saw a Fauni. My eyes were initially fixed on the dog-ears of the woman, then I glanced at her face. The panic and the desperation were clear on her visage and I paced quickly to see what was wrong.

"Ma'am, what's wrong?" My voice was a good balance of concern and calm. A slight attempt to try to understand the whole situation as quickly as possible.

"My baby! Please!" She starts to pull on my arm and, seeing at my nod, starts to lead me away from the street.

The more we ran, the more I started to see smokes coming from where we were directed.

My suspect was confirmed when we reached a small house on fire.

Dropping my backpack and my heavy jacket, I move swiftly inside the building, trying to find the child.

The whole place was hellish and the heat was not helping my nerves.

A loud wailing from upstairs interrupted the sounds of fire and I started to walk up the staircase.

I open the door from where the wails were coming and found myself in the Baby Room.

The toddler was inside the only, simple crib of the room, fortunately untouched by the flames and just bothered by the heat.

Taking the closest blanket, I pull the baby closer to my chest protectively and starts to move out of the falling house.

Dark smokes had started to reach the first floor and I was starting to breath those unconsciously, more concerned about the safety of the child.

I finally reach the entrance of the building, avoiding some falling, burning parts of wall.

The mother of the child quickly approach the both of us and get her baby.

She hugs the child closely, muttering quiet 'thank you's.

I start to notice how my sight was getting unfocused and feeling light. Then nothing.

Now

And here we were. Sitting in the Interrogation Room of the local Police Department without any valid IDs on me and a lot of questions to answers. I just hope they are not going to dissect me or other things because that would have extremely bad for good ol' me.

I had finished compiling the form and had returned it to the officer, looking for any reaction of his.

The man was reading intently the file, preparing another cigar.

I knew that he couldn't be calling me out on anything since all the things I wrote was 100% truth.

Sighing, the officer puts away the module and gives me a blank look.

"Kid, I will ask you a very personal yet important question to this interrogation and I would like a truthful reply, do you understand?" His eyes were unnerving and I slowly nod because of the insane pressure.

"Why you helped that Faunus woman and his child?"

I halt myself and give a confused look at the older man. "I-.. I did it because it was right, Sir. The woman asked for help and I gave her help." It was a simple yet honest answer coming from me. Even when I was a child I always had a moral comprehension of myself and of the world. If you can do right, you have to do right!

The man stares a little more before nodding at himself. "Then" He started. "I might have a proposition you might like, Mr. Dresmond."

He pulls out of his long jacket another form and I give it a quick glance. It was a police appliance.

"With this I could guarantee your safety by keeping you anonymous from the major players in this 'world'." The last word seemed a bit forced, unnatural to the older man.

It was an interesting offer with many good things and very few bad things.

Looking at the new module and then at the pen in my hand, I know I had already made a choice.

"Welcome to the VDP, Agent Dresmond."

AN

BOIS and GRILS! This fanfic will be an attempt to make the first RWBY fanfic with an OC that will not be an Huntsman! (Yay!)

Now I will put down some things to make the understanding and the foreseeing of the chapters easier to everyone.

1. The Cases will not be CSI-like or NCSI-like...usually.

2. I imagine the Valean Police being much more advanced than the ones of the Real World and any of the other kingdoms. The reason being that Vale is second to Atlas for technology and focus mostly in its Police and Huntsmen than the army. (If they have one..)

3. One pairing has been chosen and it will be OCx?x?. Others will be chosen by the reviewers and the more suggested will be put on a poll after chapter 5.

4. This fanfic is NOT attached to A Sad Return, it follows a completely different AU; Ex: Summer is dead and Ruby is Summer's and Taiyang's Daughter like in Canon.

5. I know that someone will try to say things like "Man, there are already other fanfictions that have OC becoming security officers and stuff". That's true, I read some good ones (One in particular was the best ever) but mine will focus mostly on the life of this PoliceOfficer!OC that 'probably' will have the same physics of an average Huntsman because of some Deus-Ex-Machina.

Nothing else to add, I hope you all liked the chapter and see you soon!
