Work Text:
All week he had been dealing with adrenaline high teens pulling out ridiculous weapons and beating the crap out of each other… It was time some butts spent a night in lockup.
“I’m taking you both in.” Metal clinked as his own partner got out the handcuffs. “Don’t even try to pull the ‘star student rich family’ stuff on us either. This won’t show on your record IF it doesn’t happen again, got it?”
Muttering grim accent, Weiss handed over Myrtenaster and offered up her wrists for shackling. The Inspector turned to take Crescent Rose and do the same to Ruby, but…
“Err.”
Ruby held up her left hand and twiddled the fingers sheepishly.
“Sorry, but… I kinda only have one of these, so the handcuffs might not really, um…”
A perfectly timed gust of wind blew back Ruby’s cape, making her neatly tied-off right sleeve flutter pointedly.
The cops stared. Weiss smirked.
Shutting his hanging jaw with a click, the Inspector cleared his throat.
“You- you took down five fellow trainees with a giant scythe and one arm?”
His voice squeaked a bit at the end.
“Well, I had help.” Ruby motioned towards Weiss. “And like I said, they started it by being really mean and rude-“
“We haven’t been rude though, right?”
The Inspector could have kicked his partner for sounding so nervous.
Granted he didn’t feel so great himself anymore- the folded up hunk of metal was already making his arm ache, just how strong would you have to be to swing the thing around…?
But the girl didn’t look like the dangerous sort.
“No.” She said, eyeing them in puzzlement. “You guys seem nice enough.”
Both cops let out audible sighs of relief, and Weiss’s smirk broadened.
In the end they cuffed Ruby to one of Weiss’s hands, and pretended not to notice when the two ended up giggling like children all the way to the station.
