AN: OMG. HE'S ALIVE. Its mister promises back from hiatus. First, I ask that you please not kill me. I beg for your forgiveness. I can't promise that I will be better but I do promise that if I decide to completely stop even trying that I will let you know.
First off SHOUT OUT to the 8-bit Pirate for figuring it out. (Though for some reason out of 200 people only 2 actually tried to guess. That hurts my damn feelings.) We're jumping into the Spider-Verse. This movie has become one of my favorite all time animated movies. Barely behind Lion King and that has nostalgia helping it.
Two, someone was able to figure out what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to put out scenes that others haven't. For example, someone asked me to do the Adam vs Zeus fight from Record of Ragnarok. However, NigmaShady already did this fight in his story Watching Jaune Again. (You should read it. That chapter is one of the best chapters of any story that I have ever read.) And yes many people have done DBZA but no one, from what I could tell, did the 2nd cooler movie. Does that mean I won't do things you've already seen? No. I might do my own takes on a few stories here and there.
Back to what I was saying. There are a lot of people who do the same stories as others and I see no reason why. Hell one reason I finally decided to start this fic is because someone used a story that I wanted to use (Puppy Arc) and a chapter from another story I wanted to use (Rolls off the Tongue: Ruby and Yang chapter. Still using other chapters though.) and I wasn't going to let them take others from me.
Finally, I will be going the Harem route (sorry to people who were hoping I wouldn't). I love a good harem story. It's the big reason that I brought Jaune into the story. Because I can imagine how the girls are changing around him and I have all these funny scenarios in my head about it. No matter what kind of 'wisdom' I try to pass on through my story my biggest goal is to get laughs and I believe I can do this best with a harem. This is helped because Nike has my actual, sometimes terribly, blunt personality and I hate it when the protagonist is so dense that he doesn't see what LITERALLY everybody else sees.
With all of that out the way let's get to it. AND AWAAAYYYY WE GO!
Nike
Siri (in her actual monotone voice)

'': thoughts
Disclaimer: I am broke so I obviously do not own RWBY, Siri, Spider-Man (god I wish I did) or any of the other properties that might show up in this story.
"Alright folks before we get onto the next universe, I need to bring in today's main character."
"I thought you said Jaune was the focus throughout the multiverse." pointed out Ren.
"He is. And he will still be very important in this universe. He just happens to take a step back and become a mentor. So today's focus is his student."
Nike transforms into his 'God' mode and sticks out his hand. The swirling vortex appears on the floor. A young boy rises from the vortex. He can't be more than 8 or 9. He has a terrified look upon his face, and he looks around the room.
"Where am I? Who are you? I-I wanna go home?"
'What the fuck? Why does he seem younger?' ... "Hey Siri. What..uh..what the fuck happened?"
"Well it has been a long time since you were here. Perhaps you're simply getting back in the swing of things. I wouldn't worry about it. Many men are known to have... performance issues."
"HAHAHAHAHAHA" The whole room bursts with laughter. Even the headmaster and headmistress can't help but chuckle. And... is that the false maiden rolling on the floor?
"You know what? Fuck you guys. Laughing at my misery. You guys suck."
"Sorry. It's-It's really not that funny." Jaune says trying to spare the hurt writer's feelings.
"Oh yea. Then why is the green ninja over their laughing his ass off." Ren tries, and fails, stop himself from banging on his chair. "Your lucky I gotta try and get this boy home without scaring him or I would rain down vengence on y'all asses."
Nike reverts to his original form and walks towards the scared boy. "It's alright kid. It seems I made a mistake." He puts his hand on the boy's shoulder with a smile on his face. "I'll send you-"
"STRANGER DANGER"The boy screams as he kicks the Writer in his family jewels. This draws winces from the crowd, while the men promptly cover their own jewels. The Writer's eyes widen. His smile and the rest of his body seem to stiffen.
…
…
…
"Nike. You ok?" asks Jaune concerned.
The Writer finally falls over while holding his groin. He lets out a high-pitched whine. "WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"
Qrow gets out of his seat and heads towards the downed Writer. "Hey kid you alright?"
"NOOOO"
Qrow offers Nike his flask. "I don't normally share this, but it looks like you could use it."
"What's in it?"
"Whiskey."
"You beautiful bastard." Nike sits up and takes a swig from the flask. "Ahh. Damn that's strong. Thanks man. I don't care what anyone says, you're the coolest dude on Remnant. And my new drinking buddy."
"Tell me something I don't know. And hey if you're providing then I'm always down for a drink."
"Hey Uncle Qrow did your voice change?" asks Yang confused by the sudden change.
"I don't know. I didn't really notice it until now. Hmm. Weird."
"I wouldn't worry about it. Hey Siri, send the kid back and get me the most recent version of him from the base universe. Make sure he knows to speak with me first. Wouldn't want him saying something he shouldn't."
"What do you mean base universe?" asks Yang.
"Well every universe has what we Writers call the base universe. This is the universe where events happen as they should. Any deviation from these base events will create an alternate universe. For example, one difference from your universe and the base universe is that Jaune told all of you about his transcripts being fake instead of just Pyrrha. Technically by pulling you all from your universe, another universe has been created where I didn't do this."
"Wow you really are a god. That's so cool." says Nora.
"No no no. No, I'm not... I mean, I am pretty fucking awesome, but I am not a god. I just have a lot of power in this dimension. I am not all knowing. And I try not to come of as though I am. I have flaws and while I may be hard on some of you in the future, I can logically see what made you decide to do the things you do. In all honesty I'm only pissed/disappointed in 4 people. And the one person I'm iffy on is currently in the room." Nike looks toward Cinder who doesn't back down from his gaze.
"I need to know about your history before I draw a conclusion about my feelings towards you. You can thank the writer Coeur Al'Aran for that. A few of the universes he documents depict ways that you can change so well that even after everything I've seen you do, I'm willing to give you a chance. Plus, I'm a sucker for converted villians. Hell, Vegeta is my favorite character in anime for a reason.
Back to what I was saying. I can give advice on what I think is right but that doesn't mean I am. I will just give you a different perspective and hopefully make you better people. Well, better in my opinion at least. Other writers may act as if they know everything about everyone and their way is the right way but that is not me. I like to put myself in people's shoes and try to understand what made them make the decisions they did. This doesn't make me better than other writers just different. Anyway, Siri if you would."
"If I must." Another vortex appears under the boy and he falls into it. Seconds later an older version of the boy rises. (V7) He looks around and notices his friends.
"Welcome to my dimension Oscar. Now before we head to your friends let me give you the low down-"
"Oh. That's alright. Siri told me everything in my head. You don't have to worry I'll keep somethings to myself."
"Wow Siri. You actually decided to help me out. Thanks."
"I didn't do it for free. I want a raise."
"A RAISE? You're a computer program. The fuck do you even need money for? Plus, you know I'm damn near broke in our universe."
"That's ok. I'll just take it from your tax refund."
"WHAT? HELL NO. I was counting on that to help pay for my car note."
"Too late."
"DAMN IT... sigh. Just go sit down Oscar. If you need anything to eat, you'll have to ask Siri. Neo destroyed the concession stand."
"Damn mute."
"You should've kept the ice cream there." signs Neo. Oscar proceeds to head towards his friends. (The teachers are sitting in the row behind them btw. The villains are across the aisle. Forgot to mention earlier.)
"Hey guys, I'm Oscar." he says. "I know you don't know me, but we're friends in the future so I know all of you." He looks at Pyrrha. "Well, except you. You're Pyrrha Nikos right?"
"Yes I am. It's a pleasure to meet you Oscar. How come you don't know me in the future?"
"Oh. Umm... I think you were visiting some family in Argus when I met everyone." answers Oscar trying his best not to drop the damn ball.
"Excuse me young man. Something about you feels... familiar. Do we know each other?" questions Ozpin.
"...Let's just say that you and I are very close in the future." Ozpin seems like he wants to ask more but he decides to drop it for now. Oscar decides to sit in the seat behind Jaune for now.
"Alright guys. Time for a little background. In this world you live on my home planet. Earth. In a country called The United States of America in the city of Brooklyn, New York. There are no grimm and no faunus." Blake opens her mouth to speak. "Yes Blake, we still have racism. In fact, my people have a long history of being on the receiving end of it. So, trust me when I say that I have a bit of an understanding of what you've gone through, though I was fortunate no to be around when it was at its worse. We can talk more about it later." She accepts this and seems to have an interested look on her. She can't wait to hear about this in more detail. "Anyway, here Jauney is a superhero."
"JAUNE IS A SUPERHERO." exclaims Ruby in pure joy. She runs up to Nike with a look of amazement on her face. "WHAT IS HIS NAME? WHAT CAN HE DO? DOES HE USE ANY COOL WEAPONS? TELL ME, TELL ME, TELL ME."
"Woah there little sis." Yang grabs Ruby and takes her back to her place beside Jaune. "I know you're excited but don't overwhelm the guy. But yeah, what's vomit's boy deal here?"
"I'm never going to live down that nickname, am I?" sighs Jaune.
"Nope." says Yang popping the p which seems to be custom of her family. The poor boy hangs his head in defeat. (I know your pain man.)
"Oh well, at least I'm a superhero. That's like my greatest dream."
"Well here, you are the superhero: Spider-Man. You were bitten by radioactive spider which gave you the ability to stick to surfaces, super strength, agility, and durability. You also have a pre-warning system which you've dubbed your-
"arc tingle"
"NO NO NO, SIRI SHUT UP... You call it your spider sense. It's warns you about any potential danger you do not know is coming for you. These abilities are coupled with the fact that you already have an incredibly sharp mind. You've created many tools and devices to help you protect the city. These include your web-shooters which you use to fight and travel across the city."
"Wow, I sound awesome. Man... another version of me that's so much better." The young responds with a downcast look. His friends frown at his need to put himself down.
"Aw man. Seriously dude, again with this shit. That's it, to all his friends-" all the students and Oscar looks towards the Writer. "if he starts getting all mopey and doubting himself then one of you hits him as hard as you can. We about to Pavlov his ass. Give him enough negative consequences for doing something then maybe he'll start to learn from it."
"Isn't that a bit barbaric?" questions Weiss.
"Precisely." agrees Glynda. "Isn't there some other way to get your message across?"
"Maybe. But I like this idea better. It's a lot funnier. So, who wants to go first?"
"I GOT IT!" screams Nora as she gets out of her seat and punches Jaune's right arm.
WHAM.
"OW. NORA"
"What? Nike told me to. And, we've been looking for a way to get you to stop being such a debbie downer. Plus, you have aura. You'll be fine."
"Good job Nora. Before we begin, I suggest that everyone take some time to go to the bathroom. We'll start in 5 minutes." A few people get up and leave the theater. Nike then floats up to his seat. "Hey drinking buddy." Qrow looks up at him. "Want an old fashioned? Hey Roman, throw me a cigar and I'll make you one too."
"Deal." Roman pulls a cigar out from his carrying case in his jacket and tosses it up to Nike. A cup appears in his hand filled with the drink of the gods.
Qrow smirks. "Now you're speaking my language." Another cup appears in Qrow's hand. He takes a quick sip. "Damn. That's good. I believe this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
"Damn right it is." The few people who left return and take their seats. "Alright then. Let's get it started. AND AWAAAYYYY WE GO!"
CLICK.
WE BEGIN ON A COMIC. The cover asks WHO IS SPIDER-MAN? Jaune's voice is heard speaking in the background.
"Alright, let's do this one last time. My name is Jaune Arc." Quick cuts of a brunet Jaune Arc pulling down his mask...a name tag that reads "Jaune Arc"...various shots of Spider-Man in action. "I was bitten by a radioactive spider and for ten years I've been the one and only Spider-Man. I'm pretty sure you know the rest."
Ozpin tells Jaune as he walks into a white light. "With great power comes great responsibility."
"Oh. It seems that I have some role. Who am I here?" asks Ozpin.
"Here you are Jaune's uncle. His parents died as a kid and you and your wife Glynda are the ones who raised him."
Glynda's starts to blush as she tries to play off her embarrassment. "Married? Seeing as you'll do anything to avoid paperwork, I'm sure I had to sign the registry for both of us."
"Now come Glynda. Would being married to me be so bad. I for one can imagine how beautiful you would look in a wedding dress."
Forget a light blush, that compliment has her face entirely red. Qrow chuckles "Looks like you still got it huh Oz." Glynda sends the drunk a glare.
"Oh come now bro. Don't be so modest. If I remember correctly you've got something going on with a beautiful young specialist. Got a woman half your age crazy about you. I'm honestly impressed."
"Haha. I don't know about that. My only love is the bottle."
"Uh huh. Sure. Whatever you say pal. Anyway, as I was saying, Oz died sometime after Jaune got his powers. Jaune made a bad decision that inadvertently led to Oz's death. He now lives his life by that motto by trying to protect the innocent and do right by his uncle."
"While it's sad that Mr. Arc must live with that regret, it's admirable that he does what he can to keep my memory alive. It's a valuable piece of advice that you students must remember. You have been blessed with incredible abilities. While you can use these abilities to accomplish your own goals in life. It is far more rewarding using them for the betterment of human and faunus kind." advises Ozpin.
The students adopt a look of determination as they think on the words of their headmaster. The villains just roll their eyes at the goody two shoes attitude.
"I saved a bunch of people, fell in love, saved the city, and then I saved the city again and again and again..." Spiderman saves the city, kisses Pyrrha, saves the city some more.
"Woohoo. Way to go Pyrrha. You got your man." says Yang with excitement. Pyrrha and Jaune start to blush furiously with such happy smiles on their faces. Pyrrha then turns towards Ruby with a smug grin. Sparks fly between their eyes as you can literally cut the tension with a knife. Jaune looks between the two with a look that screams he doesn't understand what the hell is going on.
'Huh. What's up with them. Why do they seem so mad at each other?'
'I swear to Oum if he doesn't catch a clue soon, I'm gonna toss a brick at his damn head. I'm really starting to lose patience with this shit.'
"And uh... I did this." Cut to some truly cringe worthy dancing.
...
"I guess growing up as an only child robbed me of my ability to dance." chuckles Jaune as he nervously scratches the back of his head.
"We don't really talk about this."
"And we shouldn't. That was a travesty to watch."
"Look, I'm a comic book, I'm a cereal, did a Christmas album. I have an excellent theme song. And a so-so popsicle."
"Love the theme song Jaune. Not a big fan of the popsicle." says Ruby to Jaune who, for some reason, has a look of utter betrayal on his face.
"And to have a cereal over pancakes. For shame fearless leader. I TRUSTED YOU!" Nora screams while holding onto Ren and crying into his shoulder.
"It's not me. I didn't make the decision. Ren help me out here." defends Jaune.
Ren looks at his leader with a flat stare. "I don't even know you anymore."
Jaune's eyes go wide with indignation. "Are you fucking serious?" Pyhrra chuckles at her team's antics.
"I mean, I've looked worse." Cut to Jaune, taking multiple shots from multiple villains. "But after everything, I still love being Spider-Man. I mean, who wouldn't? So no matter how many hits I take, I always find a way to come back. Because the only thing standing between this city and oblivion is me. There's only one Spider-Man. And you're looking at him." Spider-Man winks like he's the coolest thing around. And let's be honest he is. Nobody better. NOBODY.
(We transition to someone drawing some home-made street art name tags. Swae Lee's Sunflower starts playing in the background. Camera pans up to Oscar as he moves with the music and tries to sing-along to a song that he obviously doesn't know the words to. We can hear voices calling him off-screen)
"I've heard worse attempts at singing." Weiss says while glaring Jaune who begins to rub the back of his neck.
"Hey at least he's got good taste in music." encourages Jaune. Several nods from around the theatre in agreement with the choice of music.
"While we're on the subject, this universe will have several instances of background music that helps to elevate the emotions and importance of the scenes. The Writer for this world documented in a way that it could be enjoyed by everyone who sees it. And I have to say he did a damn good job."
"Oscar! Oscar, time for school!" hurries his mother Rio.
"Oscar! Oscar! OSCAR!" screams his father Jefferson.
Oscar whips off his headphones
"Yeah?!-"
"Are you finished packing for school?"
Oscar looks behind him at his empty suitcase. "Yeah! Just ironing my last shirt!" He runs around the room trying to quickly pack and get dressed.
"¡Vamo chacho!" "
C'mon, you a grown man now! Let show these teachers that. Let's go!"
"Oscar!"
"Where's my laptop?"
"¿Donde le dejaste? Oscar ¡Yo no se!" says Rio Pines.
"If you want me to drive you we gotta go now" offered Jefferson Pines
"No Dad, I'll walk!"
"Personal chauffeur going once."
"It's ok-"
"Ay Maria, este nene me tiene loca!"
"What language are they speaking? I've never heard anything like it." asks Ren intrigued.
"That's spanish. It's a language on my world. I would give you a translation but the Writer for this universe decided not to include translations. Something to let those who speak it enjoy it a little bit more. An attempt to be more diverse. In the spirit of that I've decided to leave it that way. It won't hurt not knowing a few of the lines." (btw if some of these are written wrong, forgive me. I got the script online and just made changes here and there.)
Oscar grabs food while his mom and dad frantically cross behind him. "Oscar, gotta go!
"In a minute!"
"Gotta Go-ohh..."
"IN A MINUTE-"
(cuts to outside the apartment)
"Mom. I gotta go..."
"In a minute..." Rio kisses Oscar as he tries to escape her grasp. "Papá! Llamame! See you Friday!"
"Okay, mami. Hasta luego!'
Oscar heads down the road past his old school, Brooklyn Middle. He has this air of confidence about him. He is clearly in his element as he greets old friends. "Ohhhhh. Look who's back! Yo what's going on, bro?" one boy exclaims as he sees Oscar.
"Hey, I'm just walking by, how you doing?"
"Oscar! ¿Te va bien en la escuela?"
"Seguro que si"
"Yo, Oscar did you feel that earthquake last night?"
"What are you talking about? I slept like a baby last night."
"How's that new school?"
"So easy!"
"We miss you, Oscar!"
"You miss me? I still live here!... Wait, you miss me?" Oscar runs down the street, slaps his homemade stickers on some things, ends by slapping a stop sign, -but he trips on his shoe laces and falls into the street- "¡Contra!" - right in front of a police car, which proceeds to flash its light when he lands in front of it. "Ah c'mon..."
Oscar hangs his head in shame. Jaune pats his shoulder in a show of comradery. "I know your pain man."
Qrow chuckles to himself. "You were looking pretty cool there for a second there kid. Great start, terrible finish."
"Of course, you would think him vandalizing public property as cool." lectured Glynda.
"Come now Glynda. No need to always be stickler for every rule all the time." Glynda glares at headmaster. "Either way, I'm sure the police will not punish him too harshly..."
(cuts to the inside of the car with Oscar and Jeff)
"... or not at all."
Roman starts to give Oscar the side eye. "Your old man's a cop? Is that why you're here? Do I need to be worried that he'll try to rush me in the bathroom with my pants down? Literally? Because if so then understand that I'm not above hurting a kid to get my point across." Beside him Neo is giving the cutthroat motion with her finger.
"What? No no no. I come from a family of farmers. I'm the only one with any amount of fight training and I just started training recently." Oscars says with fear towards the ice cream queen.
"Good. Because you seem like a good kid and I'd hate to see Neo use your blood as an ice cream topping."
"She would do that?"
"Do you want to find out?" Oscar looks at Neo. She gives that little smirk that looks both sexy and terrifying at the same damn time. He rapidly shakes his head no.
"Seriously dad. Walking would've been fine."
"You can walk plenty on Saturday when you peel those stickers off."
"You saw that? I don't know of that was me dad."
"And the two from yesterday on Clinton."
Oscar moods seems to fall at the mention of that. "Yeah those were me."
Jeff seeing his son is down tries to shift the conversation to try and connect with him. He notices a line coming out of a coffee shop. "Soooo... look at that, another new coffee shop... you see that Oscar?"
Oscar adopts the universal sign of a disinterested teenager. Elbow up, head in his hand, and obviously not caring for the conversation. "Totally, yeah..."
"You see that one, what's that one called?"
"Foam party."
"Foam Party, come on...and everyone is just lining up! You see that, Oscar."
"I see it."
"Is that a coffee shop or a disco?"
"Dad, you're old man."
"Damn teenagers." laments Roman. "Never paying attention to anything anyone says. Always with the loud music. And always getting in the way of your plans."
"While I agree that teenagers can be a bit much, I think that last one just applies to you."
"You know you sound like an old man when you complain, right?" signed Neo. Roman has a look of mock pain on his face.
"He's not wrong though. And I know that if Tai heard his girls call him old it would send him into depression." commented Qrow.
"And you wouldn't if they said that about you?"
"Of course not. I know I'm cool." Yang opens her mouth to argue against that. "Plus, if I ever hear them say it, I'll tell Tai about all the trouble his little girls have gotten into over the years." This causes Ruby and Yang to start sweating. "Haha. Being the cool uncle has its perks."
A news reports comes in from the radio. "There are multiple reports of another mysterious seismic event last night. Sources close to Spider-Man say he is looking into the problem."
"Spider-Man. I mean this guy swings in once a day zip zap zop in his little mask and answers to no one, right" Jeffs says with a bit of a frustrated tone.
"Yeah, Dad."
"And meanwhile my guys are out there, lives on the line-"
"Uh huh..."
"-no masks, we show our faces. Accountability."
Oscar starts to freak out when sees some friends approaching the car. "Oh no! Dad, speed up, I know these kids"
"You know, with great ability comes great accountability-"
Ozpin looks to Oscar. "Does your father make it a habit to butcher other peoples' words?"
"Yeah why mess with a perfectly good saying man?" Yang questions the young boy.
"Why are you guys asking me? That's not my dad. I mean it is, but it isn't. I didn't grow up with this version. I mean it's not me up there." retorts Oscar.
"That's not even how the saying goes, Dad"
"I do like his cereal though, I'll give him that" Jeff stops the car. Some of Oscar's friends reach his window.
"Yo Miles! You get arrested?"
"Oh my gosh. Don't cops run red lights?" Oscars asks his dad mortified.
"Oh yeah some do... but not your Dad!"
"Ok I understand he's a cop but seriously? He doesn't use his status even a little?" asked Emerald.
"Yea seems like a waste of the perks if you ask me." stated Mercury.
"Can't believe I'm saying this but I kinda agree with twinkle toes." agreed Qrow who gets a glare from Mercury. "Can't say I wouldn't take advantage of my status at least a little."
"Qrow, you're not saying you abuse your status as a huntsman, are you?" Questioned Glynda while giving the glare that promised immense pain pending his answer.
"O-Of course not. I would never even think of doing such a thing." replies Qrow while praying to every god in existence that she wouldn't hurt him.
"That's what I thought." Ozpin chuckles while taking a sip from his cup of coffee.
The car pulls up to Vision's Academy. Oscars looks dejected in the back seat, he clearly doesn't want to go in. "Why can't I go back to Brooklyn Middle?"
"Oscar, you've given it two weeks. We're not having this conversation." Jeff replies with his fatherly tone.
"I just think that this new school is elitist-"
"Elitist?"
"-and I would prefer to be at a normal school among the people."
"The people? These are your people!"
"I'm only here 'cause I won that stupid lottery"
As the conversation continues Jeff is starting to get frustrated. "No way. You passed the entry test just like everybody else, ok! You have an opportunity here, you wanna blow that, huh? You want to end up like your Uncle?"
"What's wrong with Uncle Aaron? He's a good guy."
"sigh...We all make choices in life"
"It doesn't feel like I have a choice right now"
"YOU DON'T!"
…
…
…
"Why are my dad and I fighting. We've never fought before. Do we have a bad relationship here." Oscar asks a little dejected
"I wouldn't say you have a bad relationship. You two just don't always see eye to eye. You both love each other very much. You just, at this point in time, have different wants and values. Not exactly a bad thing but it can make you butt heads at times."
"Yeah. Don't worry too much. My father and I argue from time to time, but we almost always come to an understanding." Jaune says trying to cheer up Oscar.
"But I thought after your last argument is when you ran aw- ?" Nora asks before Ren covers her mouth.
"Thanks Jaune." said Oscar as he looks at Jaune with a relieved look.
"You're so good with kids Jaune." says Phyrra while putting her hand on his thigh. This causes the blonde noodle to turn red and start stammering. That is until ruby hooks her arm in his.
"She's right Jaune. Of course, I already knew it since we already have kids in the last universe." cue the glares and the sparks.
"Come on now girls, no need to-"
"SHUT UP!"
"Yes, ma'am sorry ma'am."
"Ha. From a mighty writer to a little bitch."
"Do you get joy from misery?"
"Yes. 100 percent."
"...I hate you."
"I know."
'Why do they keep fighting? I thought we were all friends.' thought Jaune. Jaune hear the writer voice in his head as he sighs.
'Ok I can't do this anymore. Jaune, listen to me carefully. Pyrrha and Ruby like you. There I fuckin said it.' Jaune can't believe what he just heard. He decides to think on it and talk to the writer about it again later.
Tension fills the car. They sit in silence for a beat. Oscar gets out of the car and opens the front door to get his bag. Jefferson looks into his son's eyes. "I love you, Oscar."
"Yeah, I know, Dad. See you Friday." Oscar shuts the door and walks away. Jeff watches as Oscar walks away, bummed at the state of the relationship. However, in front of his son's peers, he decides to show his son he don't play that way. He lifts his P.A. and speaks into it.
...
"You gotta say I love you back."
Oscar turns back towards the police car mortified. "Dad are you serious?"
"I wanna hear it."
"You wanna hear me say it?"
"I love you, Dad."
"You're dropping me off at a school-"
"-I love you Dad."
"Look at this place-"
"-Dad, I love you."
…
"Dad, I love you."
"That's a copy. Tie your shoes please!"
The young hunters can't help laughing at the young boy's embarrassment.
"Haha. And I thought I had the worst introduction to my classmates." Jaune gets out between breaths.
"Looks like someone's finally got you beat vomit boy." agrees Yang.
"I-I can't breathe." laughs Blake
Weiss tries to hold back her laughs. "It's not that f-pfft." She ultimately fails.
Oscar buries his head in his hands in shame. "Just kill me now."
Oscar walks into Vision Academy where the students are quick to tease him about what happened. He tries to play it off and connect with a few of them, but it doesn't seem to be working. Until one girl taps him on his shoulder to—let him know that his shoes are untied. Which of course he knows because he chooses to have them that way. Cue the montage of Oscar going from class to class clearly having trouble adapting, though it does seem that he understands the material. The montage ends with Oscar enters a class that seems to be watching something on a projector. He tries to sneak to his desk. Keyword is try.
The projector stops as Oscars sneaks closer to his desk. The teacher has him in her sights and she's not impressed. "Mr. Pine, moving in the dark. You're late again."
Oscar attempts to be clever. "Einstein said time was relative, right? Maybe I'm not late. Maybe you guys are early."
…
Attempt failed.
Except for one familiar brunette who gives a pity laugh. "Sorry. It was just so quiet."
"Oh, I finally get to see myself. And I'm older." exclaims Ruby.
"And sassier." says Yang.
"And a little more filled out. I guess you outgrew Weiss after all." points out Nora.
"EXCUSE YOU!" Oh shit, she's pissed.
Oscar takes his seat next to the girl and kept help but look at her. Until she catches him and decides to start up a conversation. "I liked your joke."
"Really?" Oscar replies with a little excitement in his voice.
"I mean, it wasn't funny, that's why I laughed. But it was smart, so I liked it."
"I don't think I've seen you before." The teacher shushes them before they can continue.
Back in the theatre three people are now glaring at the boy because they can sense danger. Yang, Qrow, and … Jaune? The boy looks like a little scared. "Why are you looking at me. I didn't do anything." Oscar releases a breath as they slowly look back at the screen.
Oscar stands in front of the teacher as she slides a scoresheet with 0/100 written on it towards him. Oscar speaks to her with fake surprise in his voice. "A zero? A few more of those and you probably have to kick me outta here huh? Maybe I'm just not right for this school."
Unfortunately, this teacher is not easily fooled. "If a person wearing a blind fold picked the answers on a true or false quiz at random, do you know what score they would get?"
"Fifty percent?"
"That's right!"
"Wait wait!"
"The only way to get all the answers wrong, is to know which answers were right. You're trying to quit. And I'm won't let you."
"Why would he try to get kicked out?" asked Ruby confused.
"Well it's hard to leave behind friends simply because it turns out you were a bit smarter than them. It's actually very similar to your own situation only he's better academically as opposed to fighting and he didn't actually skip any grades as far as I know. Do you remember how you felt about going to Beacon early after the initial high of the moment wore off. It can be difficult to adapt to a new situation. All you can do is move forward and give it your best try."
Ruby thinks back to just before beacon when she realized that she had leave behind her friends and try to make new friends with people who were older and look at her like she was different. This causes her to slump down a bit until she feels a hand go around her shoulder. She looks her left and see its Weiss who put her arm around her as Blake and Yang look at her with smiles on their faces. She then looks to her right as Jaune put his hand over hers as he and the rest of JNPR smiles at her as well. She feels thankful to be surrounded by such good friends.
The screen cuts to Oscar's room with his teacher voice in the background. "I'm assigning you a personal essay. Not about physics, but about you and what kind of person you want to be." Oscar looks out to the city of Brooklyn and smiles.
AN: Ok. I'm gonna end it here for now. I know, I know. It's only 10 minutes into the movie. Trust me I get it. But one reason I didn't get this out sooner is because I kept thinking I should finish after the 2nd Peter shows up and it feels daunting to think I still have this amount of dialogue to do before I get there. So, I'm thinking of releasing this in parts and then that way I'm more likely to get back on and finish it. I'm trying to find parts here and there where I should have a reaction and it can drag a scene a little too far as I'm sure you've noticed here. Hell, this is 15 pages worth of stuff. So, what I'm going to do is put this out, hope for some helpful suggestions about spacing out reactions and then put out the next part soon.
Thanks for the support and patience and again helpful tips are welcome. Trolls and assholes can fuck right off. I'm not going to pay much attention to to people who are just going to you talk shit about my story just because you don't like how I do it. I will acknowledge constructive criticism not assholes. And yes, there is a difference.
