No idea how this story got so popular, but thanks, guys.

Anyway, enjoy the chapter. Might have a different feel to this one.

==========================================

Y/N's PoV

I have to admit,I was pretty disappointed.

This is the lair of, basically, the supervillain of supervillains. She calls these things traps? Seriously? They're literally as harmful as a hamster.

Come on, at least give me a challenge. This just feels like a chore.

Salem's PoV

I sit down, accepting my fate. I let myself relax for once, appreciating the fact that finally, someone would bring this to an end. I remind myself of my purpose and what they had changed to. Simply ending everything. Suicide, in a way.

After the first two or so hundred years, these mind games with Ozpin got boring. The only interesting thing that really happened was Beacon. Then, that got commonplace as well.

I just feel like having a very long nap.

That would be very high on my priority list.

Narrator boi again...

Y/N kicks open the door, yawning. Salem looks at him, unsurprised, a scone in her hand. She takes a sip of her tea.

Y/N raises an eyebrow.

Y/N: Earl Grey?

Salem nods.

Salem: This batch isn't that fresh anymore. Better than anything I guess.

She slowly stands up.

Salem: Well, do what you came to do. Feel free. If anything, I'm grateful. I've been in this world for too long. Killed too many people. You know how the Grimm came to be? I converted the local wildlife. Poor little things.

She walks up to a large control panel. She puts in a series of commands. A screen on the apparatus zooms in on a nevermore as it lands in its perching place. It caws, shrinking, its black coat morphing back into a natural brown.

It is soon restored down to a normal size. Just a little sparrow.

The camera zooms out, and Y/N sees that all the animals. All the trees. Life was being poured back into them, converting them from a soulless mass into something different.

Something alive.

Y/N just chuckles.

Y/N: First good thing you've done in a while, huh?

Salem slowly nods.

Y/N: How'd you preserve the souls?

Salem: The crystals. Energy encryption turns them into a different form.

Y/N: And you preserve because the Grimm generate energy by themselves. Not bad.

Salem: Well, you're going to kill me at least, right?

Y/N: I dunno. I still haven't made up my mind. Always have an open mind, as my... dad used to say.

Salem acknowledged him silently.

Y/N: You know what? This is boring. I'm gonna talk to some other people.

He blinks away, leaving nothing but a fresh packet of tea.

Summer's PoV

I was chatting with Raven about Y/N. I wasn't entirely sure how we got to this topic, but... he seems happy separated from us. Fair enough.

She seemed to be speaking with a strange degree of sentiment and admiration. Knowing her, it was very out of place.

However, her face suddenly straightens up.

Raven: You know... Y/N's

???: Not actually your son.

Y/N appears out of nowhere, munching on an apple.

Y/N: Hello there. Don't mind me, continue your conversation.

He leans on a wall, looking around casually like he didn't just teleport into our living room.

Raven: So... you found out.

Y/N shrugs and just smiles mysteriously.

Y/N: I went and talked to my actual mom, whose identity is somewhat classified. I'm sure you have a good idea though. You can explain to Summer here. I'm not really bothered right now. Knowledge from me is conditional.

Raven slowly turns her head back towards me.

Raven: Ok then...

Timelapse because not bothered SMH

Use your imagination peeps

Y/N reappears for the seventh time. I was failing to keep track. Every time he comes back, he puts down a crate of stuff. We decided to not question what he was doing. We heard some clanking in the kitchen, and the delicious aroma of coffee floated into the air.

I couldn't resist to look at what he was doing. I get up and wander into the kitchen.

Y/N: Oh. I built you guys a coffee machine.

It was aesthetically pleasing. It looked like it had a bunch of fancy bells and whistles.

Y/N: It makes milkshakes as well.

Hard to not be impressed.

Y/N's PoV

You know what, I'll never understand people of the opposite gender.

I reflect on my life as Raven drags me through the foliage into some random place. She picks me up and slams me against a tree with a noticeable impact. Her expression... was an interesting one.

Raven: Do you prefer women older or younger than you?

Oh boy.
