Chapter 109: Catching up

"It's those eyes , they are part of her aura and make her subconsciously act a certain way. i have been trying to figure out how to remove their influence on her safely but i have had no such luck." leon said seriously. "I thought so , speaking of eyes i noticed the creepy skeleton thing you summoned , susanoo i believe you called it , want to talk about it?" qrow asked casually. leon sighed " i had always assumed that the thing that would push my eyes to this level would be a traumatic incident like one of the girls getting maimed in front of me or something , but fate is a fickle mistress." leon said with a sigh.

After taking a moment to calm himself leon continued "that day when the bombs went off i dropped everything to go help the citizens which as you could imagine had my nerves frayed to begin with. but when i was digging through the rubble to save a person i found i was ambushed by the same bastards who had set the bombs to begin with." leon clenched his fist so hard blood dripped from his palms.

"I should have noticed it you know? i was so focused on saving that person however that i ignored my surroundings and i was punished for it." leon sagged in the couch with a depressed look. "they shot through me killing the person in the rubble and i just snapped. for a moment the entire world faded away and all i knew was self loathing. "what if i was faster? what if i made better defenses what if?" that was all i could think of in that moment and in that moment of all consuming self doubt my eyes evolved." leon looked at qrow with his mangekyou activated.

Qrow could see the pain and self loathing in those eyes like an echo of the moment they became like this. 'eyes that reflect the heart huh?' he thought while his own heart ached at the sight. qrow didn't say anything but merely offered his flask to leon who shook his head. "i can't run away from this , that's just not who i am. there's nothing wrong with you wanting to drown your problems but if i tried to a part of me would die and i refuse to allow that." leon said with conviction.

"You're and better man than me then." qrow said before taking a sip from the flask himself. "nah  , you probably have more baggage than me is all." leon said honestly. "speaking of baggage , any idea what happened to ironwood and the other professors?" he asked curiously. "word is glenda has taken over as the head of the new beacon academy she set up in the old abandoned vale library. peter port died in an ambush while trying to save someone much like yourself and oobleck and the others joined glenda in her endeavor. from my sources your underworld organization has taken to acting as an impromptu police force since the actual police were hit with a bomb killing most of them." qrow said casually.

"That was one of the safeguards i left in the organization in case something like this happened after THAT incident." leon explained honestly. "a good call it seems as they have done a great job according to my source. as for oz and james from what i know oz was killed while holding back the mastermind behind the whole event." qrow said but froze when an intense blood lust rolled over him from leon.

Sparks of hellflame popped in the air around leon as his face was fixed into a snarl exposing his fangs. "WHO WAS IT." leon didn't speak loudly but the word held such emphasis that they almost felt physically heavy. qrow couldn't breath as his lungs stopped working from the existential threat he felt with his entire being sitting next to him. the blood lust vanished as soon as it appeared however as leon forcibly controlled himself after seeing the state qrow was in at his outburst. "sorry about that , it's a bit of a trigger for me." leon apologized.
