The 7th floor (1/2)
Pairing: Angel Reyes x reader part two here
Warning: not recommended to people who are claustrophobic, some cursing
Word count: 800 (was impressed ngl)
Tumblr media
You didn't pay much attention to your surroundings, as you were making your way towards the elevator. Ez told you to meet him at some shady apartment for whatever reason, but you didn't know you wouldn't be going alone.
So when your eyes fall on a certain someone, correction, a certain someone you can't stand even if your life depended on it, it wasn't a very welcome surprise.
"Angel? What the hell are you doing here?" The tone in your voice would be enough to let most guys run for the hills, but not Angel. He's always found your annoyance rather amusing.
"Straight to the point, huh. Haven't you missed me, querida? It's been a while seen I've seen you"
"Definitely not. And I was at the clubhouse three days ago, what are you even talking about?"
"Oh were you? Must've missed it."
"That's what happens when you're using your last 2 brain cells, sweetie"
He'a about to open his mouth to, what you can only assume, would be a snarky comment, but he's shut up by sound of the elevator doors opening. Saved by the bell.
The two of you made your way inside, before both settling on opposite sides of the uncomfortably cramped space, making sure to stay as far apart as you probably could. Angel leans forward and hits the 7th floor button, a smugness slapped across his face as he steps back again.
“It’s ironic, actually” Angel breaks the silence, making you look at him, against your better judgment. “My little brother calls you, and you don’t hesitate to come running”
“Well, someones got to be the responsible one, right? Especially with a brother like you”
“You would know all about that would’nt you? Considering your hero-complex and all”
You let out a loud scoff, shaking your head in disbelief. Of course his words pissed you off, but you couldn’t deny that they stung just as much. It wasn’t even about the insults, as a part of you knew he didn’t mean it. It was about everything that led up to this point.
Things weren’t always like this. In fact, you met Angel before ever meeting Ez. The two of you practically grew up together, spending every waking moment with each other. It’s funny how quick things, and people, can change.
“Trust me, the only heroes are the people who manage to tolerate you for longer than a min-“
You’re cut off mid sentence when the elevator makes a sudden jump. It starts again for a moment, before stopping abruptly, causing you and Angel to get pushed around. A slight panic rushes through you, and without even realizing it, you’re clinging onto each other tightly.
The creaking sound taking place above you makes both of you look up at the ceiling, still arm in arm. It doesn’t take long before you and Angel realize the position you’re in, and you’re quick to pull away from each other, a disgusted look on both faces.
“Are you fucking kidding me” you immediately walk over towards the closed doors, trying to pry the two heavy pieces of metal apart.
The sound of Angel’s snickers made you turn around, throwing your hands up.
“Is any of this funny to you?” You ask him, perhaps a little too loudly, judging by the echoing of your voice.
“The part where you think you’re activating your hulk powers to open those doors, for starters,” he places a hand over his mouth, trying to keep his laughs restrained. “And here I thought you were the logical one”
You roll your eyes at him, and watch him make his way over to the emergency button. Crossing your arms, you wait as he presses it.
“Yo, we’re stuck in the-“
“‘Yo’, is that seriously how you’re going to ask the professionals for help? God, Angel”
“Oh my bad, how’s this?” He clears his throat, before pressing the button again.
“Dear person on the other side of this intercom, I beg you come to our aid, as we are in dire need of your help”
He turns to you to bow dramatically, a smirk plastered on his face. “Your majesty”
You shake your head at his antics, not even want to give him the satisfaction of getting on your nerves. Instead, you just wait for someone on the intercom to respond. A minute goes by and the look on Angel’s face goes from entertained, to just a tad bit uneasy. He presses the same button again, while yelling out some ‘hello’s’ and ‘is anyone there’, before finally giving up.
His gaze meets yours again, and all you can do is stand there, letting all of this sink in. Angel’s eyes were wide, as he slowly realized that there wasn’t anyone coming to our rescue, anytime soon.
“Oh fuck”
“Oh fuck is right”

YES YES YES YES YES
Spoilers for RWBY Volume 8 Chapter 6
THAT WAS SO MUCH MORE THAN I HAD EVEN LET MYSELF HOPE FOR
It really looks like this is the Volume the writers realized how many answers we’ve needed for years and years, and is answering them now. I wish it’d come sooner, of course, but since they can’t go back and fix the pacing or writing, I’m really impressed and optimistic about how Volume 8 is going!
BUT MORE SPECIFICALLY
I would like to GUSH about how they handled the Oscar and Ozpin scenes. We have needed, nay, BEGGED for this sort of development, and it’s finally here. There’s too much I want to rave about so bullet point time! 
[Note: I love the farmboy so this wound up longer than expected -- have a read more for your scrolling convenience -- TL;DR at the end]
We got confirmation that Ozpin has been pleading with Oscar to let him take over so he can burden the pain and torture instead. Oscar is the one refusing, choosing to take it himself because he knows Salem and Hazel will be much harsher on Oz. I thought that was the case, but I’m so glad they addressed it because otherwise we’d be wondering why Oz hasn’t offered. It does make me wonder, is Oz still able to take control without asking? Oscar was able to fight it in vol 6, and he’s come a long way.
Hazel is holding back -- at least, Oscar says he can tell that he is. This would keep in line with the battle at Haven, when Hazel was suspiciously playing defense and stalling by letting Ozpin monologue, then letting Oscar give a little protagonist speech... I mean, it sure doesn’t LOOK like he’s holding back. Look at this kid:
Tumblr media
moving on before I cry,
Ozpin suggests he take over and try to escape.
Oscar says no, he has a better idea. “This is our chance.”
Oz: “Hm. Maybe you’ve taken one too many hits.” I like this for two reasons: one, because it gives us a taste of the ol’ lighthearted Ozpin humor we’ve missed since he’s been gone, and two, because it shows that he and Oscar think differently. They have different thought processes, ideas, etc. Oz didn’t immediately know what Oscar was planning.
Oscar explains that Salem can’t take on everyone at once, and thus has been sending people to infiltrate all of remnant first, to attack from within. 
I LOVE that they had Oscar come up with this, because it is so in line with his character development in Volume 7. Not to mention how in volume 6 he was the one to figure out how to defeat Cordovin’s mecha. It’s cool to see him as a strategist, because while he’s a sweet kid from the middle of nowhere, he’s proven to be really smart and quick.
Plus, this gives him agency. People wanted Ozpin to return and save Oscar, but this is so, so much better. Oscar’s idea, Oscar’s choice, and Oz gets right on board. They’re agreeing to work together, despite their unresolved conflict. “Ozma learned the importance of living with the souls with which he’d been paired.”
AND THEN, A MOMENT I CANNOT THANK RT ENOUGH FOR:
Tumblr media
The captions don’t show it, but Oscar AND Ozpin said this in unison. Now, this and the few seconds that follow were a rollercoaster of emotions. Let’s break it down:
When they said this together, I was positively GIDDY with excitement: they’re leaning into the “like-minded souls” thing and calling attention to the situation! Surely this must be a sign that Oscar and Ozpin will indeed both exist when their souls are one, as they are both equally parts of the combination of lives that is Ozma. Well, maybe not equally (yet?). 
Then, my elation was replaced with dread. What if this was actually an indication of them “merging” in the way some of the FNDM interpret it will go, rather than how I think it does? Or what if that’s not what RT is doing, but what if the FNDM takes it as a sign Ozpin is taking over?? I can’t last the whole break without knowing!
AND THEN!!! Ugh, this made me so relieved. Ozpin says, in a slightly amused tone of voice with a trace of a laugh, “We certainly are similar, you and I.” YESSSSS more references to them being like-minded souls!! But still having differences!! 
“Maybe we have been presented with an opportunity.” I’m really glad they went the route where Oscar is changing Ozpin’s mind on things. Oz no longer thinks he knows best, and is allowing Oscar to come into his own. Now he’s seeing how far Oscar’s come and the person he is.
Related note: The commentary for the vol 7 finale said that it was Oscar’s speeches to Ironwood about fear and trust that made Oz realize he’s been keeping secrets and hiding out of fear, and inspired him to come back. This is so promising for Oscar’s character going forward.
[Side note: Would love more info on what Oscar meant in volume 7 when he said “these memories... you’re back, aren’t you?” because? Is he just referring to the scenes with things like how he talked about Atlas’ history as if he were there, or does he have access to Oz’s memories now? 2 chapters ago we saw that he doesn’t yet know the location of the Beacon Relic. So unless he was lying really well, he doesn’t have ALL the memories yet. So which ones does he have? RT EXPLAIN]
Next,
Tumblr media
I would like to call attention to the fact that Oscar smiled here. After Ozpin said they were similar, I was worried Oscar would react the way he has in the past: sad and conflicted about his identity, worried he’s becoming less of himself. But no. Like we saw in Volume 7, THIS is who Oscar Pine is. His development was his own, and we get to see that when Ozpin returned because Oscar had made him rethink his choices. Oscar Pine is more himself now than he’s been at any other point in the series. 
It’s really brilliant how the writers have used these last 2 volumes to show that Penny, the robot, is one of the most human characters on the show; and Oscar, the boy cursed to death and rebirth with a soul that was not his own, is one of the most individualistic ones. It’s just really cool how they’re playing with our expectations of the characters. (They’re doing great with Salem, too!)
[Side note: Penny’s soul/aura was given to her by Pietro, and they still have distinct personalities and identities. It’s possible that’s a parallel to Oscar’s situation, but I do feel the merge’s completion will result in one remaining soul/identity - just not a “taking over” situation]
Okay, that’s the last of that rollercoaster I mentioned. 
Time to get on a new one!
At long last, this episode finally gave us something we haven’t had since chapter 4 of volume SIX*:
*(I am not counting the one second of "Oscar." *glowy eyes* *Oscar blinks and is back in control* in the vol 7 finale)
Tumblr media
OZPIN IS BACK!!!!
First, HELL YES I WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN!!!
Second, wow, they can change really quickly now. At first it took effort and was super visible, then just shook Oscar up a bit with the glowy eyes, and now it seems almost effortless, seamless. The eyes glow and the transition is smooth. I like it.
We didn’t get to hear Oscar’s thoughts after Oz said “Oscar, please,” begging him again to let him take control. So we don’t know whether Oscar allowed it out of pain, exhaustion, their plan, or a decision to trust Oz and work together here. Alternatively, Ozpin may have simply taken over of his own accord. I wish the writers would give us more insight to Oscar’s thoughts, because those scenes already have him talking inside/to his own head, so leaving some of his thoughts out can seem intentional and open-ended, which could mean more dragging out answers, but I think this was fine. Not the worst case of this by far lol
WHEN! HE! SPOKE!
I was hoping for this with all my heart. Over the course of volume 7 in particular, we saw Oscar’s voice, mannerisms, and speech patters start to resemble Ozpin’s. However, he still sounds and feels like Oscar. Going back to Volume 5, heck, even Volume 6 (which is when we last saw Ozpin in control), the voice of Ozpin speaking through Oscar is similar, but distinctly different from how Oscar’s speaking now. So I’ve been theorizing and hoping, and it CAME TRUE! Ozpin sounds more like Oscar now, while still managing to clearly be Ozpin.
Right from the first “Hello,” it was noticeable. It sounded almost like Oscar. I know it’s the same voice actor when one of them is in control (same body, same vocal cords), but that just makes it even more impressive. This is the first time we’ve heard Ozpin’s voice speaking through Oscar since QRWBY yelled at him in the snow in vol 6. And I was NOT disappointed.
“Why do you follow her?” I’ll keep saying it, but he sounds so much like Oscar confronting Ironwood. 
“I know how you see me. But her? Look at what she does, how is she the answer, why not stop her??” This gives me serious deja vu to Oscar’s speech towards Hazel in the Battle of Haven (and his speech towards Ironwood in v7′s finale). That speech had given Hazel pause then, and this one does as well, now. Ozpin sounds angrier, though, more aware of just how far gone these people are, but knowing they can change.
Tumblr media
Hazel calls Ozpin out for the same thing the FNDM has been, and honestly, it’s been a long time coming. Hazel’s motivations are extremely misguided, Oscar was right to stand up for Oz/Gretchen at Haven, and the show really needed to reinforce the Ozpin-isn’t-bad-actually thing. Now it’s all out in the open. But it’s Ozpin’s response to this that elevated this scene even more:
Tumblr media
That’s it. Ozma has spent countless lives fighting a war that may be impossible to win. But if no one tries, no one will survive. The gods will destroy all of Remnant. Still, every single lifetime, he chooses to try. Like Oscar said in volume 5 (about Hazel’s sister but writing-wise also kinda about Pyrrha), “She made a choice! A choice to put others before herself. So do I.” Like-minded souls.
Tumblr media
AND THIS!!! Good gods I’m glad he said this. The show went way too long before anyone even questioned the “You can’t” answer from Jinn. Nora mentioned it in passing earlier, which I liked a lot (though this really should’ve been discussed in volume 6, but better late than never). But here? We see that Oz never gave up, never planned on losing, not sending people to a battle he “knows they can’t win.” While Salem is immortal, she is not infallible. Not even the gods were. Salem can be fought. Even Hazel has a moment of hesitation, perhaps even realization, before Salem enters.
Tumblr media
Salem manipulates Cinder, offering her the maiden powers she wants so badly, and Ozpin interjects. “You’ll only be helping her bring about the end, for all of you!”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I just wanted to show these shots because again, just as we’ve seen Oscar’s mannerisms become increasingly similar to Ozpin’s, now that he’s back, we get to see the other way around. Look at the surprise and fear on his face. Look at how he widens his eyes and raises his eyebrows instead of narrowing/furrowing them now. Listen to the sounds he makes when tortured or thrown about. Listen to the desperation and earnest passion held in his pleas. He’s no longer hiding -- he’s being honest with the people who scare him most, and truly trying to help them see the light. 
[Side note: Cinder is not showing remorse in this scene, but I wonder how she’d react to Oscar, not Ozpin, being tortured. In the same episode, we have Cinder being tortured with a shock collar, AND we have Oscar decide to try to appeal to the humanity left in these villains. Last time we saw Oscar, Salem was torturing him with intense, almost electric magic. She might not care, but I wonder...]
ANYWAY I’m done for now. Have a TL;DR that wound up being long too
TL;DR: 
Basically, I’m super happy with the writers for the detail put into these scenes: 
they confirmed Oz has been begging to take over and bear the torture instead
had Oscar come up with an idea himself instead of getting rescued or immediately escaping
had Oscar view his dire situation as an opportunity, reminding us of his optimism and capabilities as a strategist
had Ozpin not know what Oscar’s plan was before he explained it (this might change as the souls become one, but it at least shows they think differently)
Oscar’s plan to appeal to the villains’ humanity and infiltrate Salem’s forces from within lining up with his volume 7 character development
had Oz trust Oscar and put his faith in him, which is progress for Oz
Oz and Oscar speaking in unison and agreeing to work together
Ozpin’s comment about them being similar, not the same
had Ozpin take control to speak to Hazel
Ozpin’s speech to Hazel and Cinder as parallels to Oscar’s speeches to Hazel and Ironwood, which CRWBY said were the reason Oz realized his secrecy is out of fear of trust, and Oscar’s points are what inspired him to come back.
Ozpin sounding and acting more like Oscar just like we’ve seen happen the other way around (though with Oscar, he’s holding true to his own ideas/morals, with Oz meeting him there)
established hope for some of our villains to defect, setting it in motion.

On the first day of school, the college dean addressed the freshman class to explain some of the campus rules. “The women’s dormitory is off-limits to male students and the men’s dormitory is off-limits to female students,” he intoned. “Anybody caught breaking this rule will be fined $20 the first time, $60 the second time and $180 the third time. Does anyone have any questions?”
A male student raised his hand. “How much for a season pass?”

A flea had oiled up his little flea legs and his little flea arms and was soaking up the Miami sun when an old flea friend of his walked by. “Oscar, what happened to you?" asked the first flea when he saw how terrible his friend looked——runny nose, red eyes, teeth chattering.
“I got a ride down here in some biker’s mustache and nearly froze my nuts off,” wheezed Oscar.
“Let me give you a tip, old pal,” said the first flea. "Go to the stewardess lounge at the airport, get up on the toilet seat and when a stewardess comes in, hop on for a nice warm ride. Got it?”
A month later, while stretched out on the beach, the flea saw Oscar again, looking more chilled and miserable than before. “I did everything you said,” Oscar explained. “I went to the stewardess lounge, made a perfect landing and got so warm and cozy that I dozed off.”
“And so?” asked the first flea.
“And so the next thing I know, I’m on this guy’s mustache again!”

Not long after she had made her wish known, the old maid died peacefully in her sleep. The undertaker told the stonecutters of the lady’s request. The men, practical to a fault, thought about the inscription and concluded that it was unnecessarily long. They wrote simply: RETURNED UNOPENED.

I changed the wording a little bit and left a little bit of a cliffhanger. 
38. “Oh… I don’t know maybe my wife?”
Give Me A Reason (Part One)
Warnings: angst
I was absolutely exhausted by the time I got back to the small apartment I had been renting. I had to relocate for a movie I was shooting in France. I missed my house in London and missed Harry even more. Due to our conflicting schedules, we hadn’t seen each other in over a month. We tried to talk and skype as much as we could but it was beginning to take a toll on our marriage and we both took notice.
We had been married almost two years now. The first year was absolutely amazing. I toured with him and stood by his side at every event he went too. I had taken some time off of my already established acting career to travel with Harry and hopefully start a family with him right away, but we still weren’t pregnant. We had both been to doctors who had assured us we were both fertile and could definitely have kids, it just wasn’t our time yet.
I had decided to audition for a movie at the end of last year hoping to get back after being away for so long. I was offered a role in the first movie I auditioned for. The director was legendary and there was already Oscar buzz surrounding the script and cast.
Harry and I had had a long discussion before I had accepted the role. The role would have me living in Paris for a few months while he was still continuing to tour in the States. He was reluctant at first because he still wanted to keep trying for a baby but he eventually came around when we agreed it was best for my career.  I missed him every second of everyday.  The night before I left he had wanted to try for a baby one more time. I knew he was secretly hoping I would get pregnant and would return to him soon. Unfortunately, that was three months ago and I was still not pregnant. It was hard on both of us because there wasn’t anything we could pinpoint that kept us from becoming parents.
In our last video chat he had told me his guitarist’s wife was expecting their third child. He was happy for them, but I could see the envy in his eyes as he told me it was unplanned. He ended the call suddenly but not before I noticed the tears swelling in his eyes.
Once I was brought back to reality, I unlocked my apartment door. I was immediately greeted with the smell of roses. As I walked in further, I saw Harry standing in my living room surrounded by hundreds of rose bouquets. I squealed as I jumped into his arms, wrapping my legs around his waist. He held me up as we locked lips. I pulled away quickly, still in his arms.
“What are you doing here?!” I was so happy to see him that my heart broke when I saw his face fall at my words.
“Are you joking?” He questioned as he dropped my legs to the floor. His arms were still around my waist but I could suddenly feel a distance growing between us.
I was confused at his accusing tone but pushed it aside as I leaned in for a kiss, to which he rejected by giving me his cheek.
“What day is it?” He asked sternly.
“What?” He took a step back from me, letting his arms cross over his chest.
“What day is it?” He repeated.
“Uh, I don’t know, Tuesday?” I wasn’t really sure where he was going with this.
“All day fans have been congratulating me on two years of marriage.”  He scoffed.
Oh shit, I thought. The filming schedule had been so brutal I had lost track of the dates, completely forgetting our wedding anniversary.
“…and I kept thinking how only one person hadn’t said anything. At first I thought maybe you forgot. But then I remembered you would never forget such a meaningful day. Why? Because, oh… I don’t know…you’re my wife?” He continued, getting angrier with every word.
“H, I’m sorry. I’ve been busy filming and I lost track of-” I tried to reason with him.
“Yeah, I’ve been busy too. I’ve been touring and traveling every night, all while counting down to the two year anniversary of the best day of my life.” He rubbed his hands over his face suddenly looking exhausted.
“Babe, please. You know how easy I forget things-”
“You forget to buy eggs at the grocery store, not important life moments.” He moved away from me in the bedroom that I had been sleeping in alone for three months. I saw him grab his duffle bag off the bed.
“You can’t leave! Please Harry, I said I was sorry why can’t you forgive me?” I begged him as I followed him around the apartment while he gathered his shoes and jacket.
“Why can’t I forgive you?” He repeated.
“Why can’t we have a child? Why can’t you remember something as simple as our wedding date? Hell, you were the one who picked the date!” He yelled back at me as he stopped by the door to slip on his jacket.
“Harry, I’m sorry. But we can be together now, I have the day off tomorrow and I-”
“I know you have the day off tomorrow. Because you told me you specifically asked for the day off so we could spend time together.”
All the memories of our plans came rushing back to me. About two months ago we had arranged a day off so we could spend our wedding anniversary together.
“Oh my god….” I sighed as the realization of my mistakes hit me. I hid my face in my hands.
“Maybe this wasn’t meant to be.” He whispered before turning the doorknob and walking out. I shot my head up immediately.
“Harry!” I ran down the hall after him.
“C’mon, don’t do this.” I begged him as I had to run to keep up with his long strides.
“I’m not doing anything.” He quipped as he pressed the button for the elevators.
“Please stay. We can talk about this.” He wouldn’t even look at me as he responded, “I think we need some time apart.”
“What are you talking about? I haven’t seen you in a month!”
The doors dinged as they opened. Luckily, it was empty inside. I didn’t need my neighbors seeing this scene we were creating.
“I think we should both take some time and think about what we want for this relationship. I’ll see you when you get home.” He stepped into the elevator before pausing. He turned on his heel as he placed a kiss on my head. He turned back around pressing a button. We stared at each other as the doors shut.
“Happy anniversary.” Was the last thing he said to me as the doors closed completely.
I finally let out a sob as I realized the love of my life had left me and it was all my fault. I was so consumed with getting back into work that I had completely put our marriage in the backseat.
I didn’t know if he would ever forgive me.
I didn’t know if he would ever come back.
For now, I would just have to finish my movie and pray that I wouldn’t be receiving any divorce papers from my lawyers.
