Julian groaned and  got up. He looked at Scarlet's back a bit sadly and let the events of the night pass through his mind freely without restraint.

 A few months before Beacon 

"It will be my last one. Every since..." A pause, Julian had listened intently.

"This is my gift to you, with it I want you to go and help as many as possible"

Another sound that Julian couldn't qutie place.

"I have completely reworked the system, you know the thruster controls, but I added some things to the bracers. They each contain a blade and small gauss rifle. These can be controlled with these movements"

Julian's chest tightened as he knew what was about to happen. Then gave way to adrenaline. This was his night. He would walk away from the deal with 5000 more lien. He wouldn't have to go hungry.

It would be his last job after 12 years of running.

He juggled a few dynamite sticks silently in anticipation.

"There is one more thing, just let me get it"

A sound of footsteps.

Julian was ready to launch into action but a cool voice told him "I'll handle this, you're gonna get your money kid, for not running away."

Julian nodded once. The man moved forward, breaking a vase, then encountered the mother. Julian shut himself off from their exchange and made suer he didn't hear a single bit of it. Then he moved onto the girl. Scarlet, was her name. But Julian had been forbidden to take the victims' names. Names would make them more familiar, more human, and when the time came, he would be unable to execute the plan.

He spoke again, this time to target number two.

"Hey kid. Where are the armoured ones?"

A slight pause, Julian was armed in case of anything. He was completely unsure of what to do.

He spoke again. "Tell me where your mother keeps the armour and no one gets shot."

The scene that commenced blazed its memory into Julian's mind. The gory images from both what happened to the mother, and then the daughter seared itself through his mind.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The girl fired what Julian assumed to be some kinda gauss weapon. Unsure slightly, he went forward and gasped.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The man he had come with was dead, a gaping hole through his stomach. Julian forced himself to not throw up, then looked at the mother and daughter.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The mother was alive still, even through her chest wound. and the daughter. She was around Julian's own age and holding the weapon that had so killed his partner. Julian gasped that such a weapon could do such damage and kill someone.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Help her...."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Julian turned around and gasped.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The woman's eyes were open and she was looking at Julian with a look of pure agony.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Help.... Scar... Help her.... Please....."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Julian was completely shocked and he looked to the girl.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"She's.... going to Beacon soon. Please.... Help her...."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Beacon. The same place where Ozpin had admitted him.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Julian felt a bit of guilt rise up to his throat, Ozpin would be severly disappointed in him if he ever found out.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Julian nodded once.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"Thank.... you....."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Julian rushed over to the woman's side and felt her pulse. Still beating. But barely.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">He looked to the girl then. And he knew that if he even let one of them die, he would be unable to live the rest of his life in peace.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Julian shrugged off all his dynamite, now a full 30 pounds lighter, and picked up the woman known as Rouge. He threw Scarlet over his other shoulder and started the trek to the hospital.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">How he would explain what had happened to the nurses and doctors there, he had no idea, but he could find out something.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Lying was just another part of the job as a fugitive.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"> Now 

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Julian got up and looked at the rest of the team. His face weary.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"A day to prepare sounds good. There's actually a hotel near Forever fall we can stay at. Three per room though. Unless you people are okay with spending your lien. The restaurant is cheap too. No fried food as well, with lots of offerings."

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Julian nodded once to Messer.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">"You game, leader?"
