Sadly for him, Tai and Qrow are there to congratulate their daughter/niece for her marriage, things go south and now they are trying to beat him for trying to annul his marriage with Ruby
Sorry for the delay with this Ask. I'm bad at organizing my time for these things 😅 First part Here
------------------------
At Prof. Ozpin's office
Jaune: *Panic* Prof. Ozpin, you have to help me!!
Ozpin: Calm down Mr. Arc, take a deep breath, and tell me what's going on.
He takes a deep breath and calms down a bit.
Jaune: *Worry* I need your help Professor. Ruby set me up.
Ozpin: She set you up? What did she do?
Jaune: She told me that she wanted me to sign a card for her sister. She told me to sign on a piece of paper that was covered by another piece of paper, but with a hole for the signature.
Ozpin: Ok
Jaune: So I sign and then she reveals that it wasn't a letter to Yang!
Ozpin: Oh, what did you sign?
Jaune: Sign a marriage certificate.
After hearing that Prof. Ozpin turns white as a ghost.
Ozpin: Did you say... a marriage certificate?
Jaune: Yes, and I wanted to know if you could help me to annul it.
Ozpin breathing becomes heavier.
Ozpin: It's happening again.
Jaune: Professor?
Ozpin: *Panic* It's happening again!!!
Jaune: Professor Ozpin, calm down! Is something wrong?!
Ozpin: No you don't understand boy. There is no escape for this. I once wanted to escape and lost my life trying!!!
Jaune: You mean you almost lost your life, right?
Ozpin grabs him by the shoulders and looks him in the eye with an expression of terror.
Ozpin: Listen well, Jaune. Now that you've got time, run. Run as far as you can and never come back.
Jaune: You're scaring me Professor.
Ozpin: And you should be! Run now, don't waste time, you don't want it to be too late.
Jaune: Too late for what?
Glynda (speaker phone): Prof. Ozpin, Tai and Qrow came to visit. They say they want to meet their new son-in-law
Ozpin lets him go and walks to the phone.
Jaune: Prof. Ozpin?
Ozpin: It's too late.
Jaune: Sir?
Ozpin: It was a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Arc. *To the phone* Glynda, please let them in.
The office doors open and two people appear that Jaune has never met in person. They look like good people, but dangerous at the same time.
Tai: Hi, sorry to interrupt your chat.
Ozpin: Don't worry. How can I help you?
Qrow: We want to meet the brat who got his hands on my niece.
Tai: Do you know where we can find him? Or maybe you can call him?
Ozpin: There is no need to look for him or call him. He… *start to cry a little* He is right there. *Points at Jaune*
He then takes a handkerchief from his back pocket and wipes away his tears.
Ozpin: Please forgive me.
Qrow: Why are you crying?
Ozpin: Is nothing. It's better that I get out. Mr Arc, you will always be in my memory.
Ozpin walks out of the office, leaving Jaune alone with Ruby's Dad and Uncle.
Tai: I hope he's okay. But anyway, Jaune, right?
Jaune: *Worry* Yes sir!
Tai: Why did you marry my daughter?
Qrow: Yeah, why did you marry a girl younger than you? Big girls your age were too much for you?! Answer me!!!
Jaune: *Cover his face with his arms* Please don't hit me!
Tai: Whoa, calm down. We're here to congratulate the couple. Jaune, don't worry about him. He is very overprotective of my daughters. But I am interested to know why you two decided to get married so young. Couldn't wait until graduation? HAHAHA!
Jaune: Actually sir…
Tai: Please calle me Tai.
Jaune: Actually Tai, Ruby tricked me into marrying her. She made me sign a marriage certificate.
Tai: Oh she did that to you. My ex-wife did the same thing to me, but she did it differently if you know what I mean. *Wink*
Qrow: *quietly* Dear God.
Tai: *Smiling* So, are you planning to celebrate your marriage? Because if you want we can do it at my house. There is a beautiful view of the lake that will make you fall in love with it.
Jaune: Actually, sir, I'm trying to annul the marriage.
Tai: You're trying what?
Jaune: Annul the marriage. You see, I never wanted to marry Ruby.
Tai: *mad* Why not? Is she not good enough for you? Is that what you're saying?
Jaune: No no! She's a great girl, but…
Qrow: But what? Do you think you can get a better girl? Ruby is the sweetest and most beautiful girl that has ever existed in this world!
Jaune: Is not that! She set me up!!
Qrow: And what?! Don't you like the idea of having a family with her?!!
Tai: Does my daughter disgust you?!!!
Jaune: I did not say that!! I know she is beautiful and sweet!
Qrow: Then why do you want to annul the marriage?!
Jaune: Because she set me up!
Tai: Hold him Qrow, I'll teach this jerk a lesson.
Qrow: With pleasure.
Jaune: Someone help me!!!!

Clovember Day 17 - Second Chances
Every scar is a second chance
But do I deserve this?
A gentle reminder pinches at skin
“Yes,” the same soft voice soothes as warm arms wrap around me.

Follow the Beacon Ozpin—Truth
[Link to Masterpost]
[A lot's changed since the first version of this story—for example, Summer and Tai's entire storyline was added in—so this part ended up a little different]
Ozpin watched on the monitor as Ms. Rose and Mr. Branwen stepped from the elevator into the waiting room on the floor below. Both of them looked ill—he was probably still recovering from the day before, and she was afraid of this meeting going badly.
Maybe we should have spoken to the twins sooner. Qrow sagged in his chair, face buried in his hands, pale and withdrawn. It looked like he'd slept in his clothes. If they were sent here as spies, it was clearly under duress.
We still don't know what his Semblance is, he countered. If it's anything like his sister's, the two of them could vanish at any moment. We'll have to be very, very careful.
Speaking of which— Ozpin sealed the balcony door with a thought and a wave of his hand. ... just in case.
Just in case, he agreed with a twinge of pain in his chest. The intercom clicked as he switched it on. "Thank you both for coming. May I speak to Mister Taupe first?"
Qrow didn't respond, but shuffled to his feet as the secure elevator slid open. Summer watched his back as he entered, arms folded tightly around her stomach, and only looking away when he turned to face the doors. He was preoccupied, however, staring at the controls.
It wasn't uncommon for the Vault button to catch a student's eye—there were only three, and it was mysteriously unmarked. Though, it was rare for anyone to reach out and deliberately press it. Nothing happened, of course, it only worked with the correct password entered into the emergency phone.
Was he told to do that?
He may just be looking for a way out…
He stepped carefully from the elevator, eyes darting around the room before returning to a spot somewhere over Ozpin's shoulder. Finding no one else there seemed to calm him slightly.
"Yes, quite the view, isn't it?" Ozpin stared out the window for a moment, allowing a longer search while his back was turned. "You'll notice I have my desk turned away from the window. Hot cocoa?"
"Uh…thanks," Qrow said, accepting the mug.
"There's no need to be nervous." Ozpin smiled. "I was looking over your course records earlier. I must say—for someone of your background, your marks have been exemplary. Your parents must be very proud."
"No parents, sir."
It was incredibly rare for bandits to claim their children. The misdirect did its job, and Qrow relaxed a tiny bit more. "Ah. My apologies. Have you enjoyed it here in Vale so far?"
"It's…" he glanced to the left, down at the hazy skyscrapers. "Different."
Ozpin chuckled. "Yes, I'd imagine it can be a bit much after growing up in pastoral Anima. I was born in the city, myself," he said wistfully, "though it didn't take me long to leave it." He leaned back in his chair, settled in, unthreatening. "Tell me, what made you want to become a Huntsman?"
Qrow buried his face in the mug, taking a long sip. "I…liked the comics," he stammered, turning ever so slightly pink. That was difficult to fake. "As a kid. What can I say, they made an impression on a dumb farmhand from Anima."
"That is why the kingdoms keep printing them. Though, it doesn't explain your current dedication."
He scowled into the cocoa, hands tightening on the mug. "...I wanted to do some good in the world."
"An admirable goal." Ozpin took a sip from his own cup. "And I must say, I've been impressed with your efforts with that scythe of yours. You seem to be making great strides despite your lack of a proper teacher."
"Professor Carmine's been a lot of help," Qrow said quickly. "Professor Mesánychta, too."
"And all of it on top of your normal coursework, and your practice with the broadsword form of your weapon. Even without taking your lack of prior education into account, you are one of the top students in your class." He leaned back, opening a drawer in his desk. "Which is why I was so surprised to hear that you had brought alcohol onto the school grounds."
Qrow sagged with relief as he set the flask on the desk.
"I'm aware the legal drinking age in Mistral is eighteen. And outside the kingdoms…well. But you understand, while you are in Vale you must abide by the kingdom's laws."
He tensed, eyes widening, with a half-glance at the elevator doors. "Summer didn't have anything to do with it. It-it's mine, I smuggled it from home, she didn't—"
"Please, Mister Taupe, it is all right," Ozpin said, holding up a hand. "Seeing as this is your first offence—and Miss Rose made me swear that you wouldn't get in any trouble—I see no reason to involve the police."
"...Summer… told you?" He sounded confused, but not hurt. A good sign.
"She confessed to me that she was concerned. That you've been isolating yourself, losing interest in your work. Have you been drinking more as well?"
He swallowed, averting his gaze. "Maybe…maybe a little."
"Please don't be angry with Miss Rose. She agonized over the decision to come to me for help, I assure you. But Beacon has a number of health services available to students if you are feeling stressed." He got to his feet, circling the desk to offer his hand. "My door is always open, as well."
Hesitantly, Qrow accepted it. "Um… thanks… I-I'm fine, really."
"Mister Tau—" Ozpin stopped himself. The boy needed to hear his own name. "Qrow. Please. I can help you."
A shadow fell over his face, and he remained silent.
"No matter what it is," he pressed, squeezing his hand lightly. It was shaking.
"...I'm fine."
Magic welled in his fingertips, ready to channel if Qrow ran or tried to open a portal.
Don't hurt him.
Of course not. But we can't allow a possible lead to slip away, and he needs help. Gently, they ran their thumb over Qrow's palm. "You have remarkably smooth hands for a farmer."
He jerked his arm back, shaking even harder than before. "I… I was kinda lazy." After a moment of hesitation he shoved his hands into his pockets.
"Mister Taupe, this is exactly the kind of behavior that has your team leader so worried."
Qrow sagged, his hands slipping down to hang limp at his sides, head bowed so low Ozpin couldn't see his face. "...Stop it."
"I beg your pardon?"
"Stop pretending."
Carefully, gently, Ozpin took his hand again. "Mister Branwen, why did you come to Beacon?"
He flinched at the sound of his name, and voice cracking as he answered. "I wanted to be a Huntsman."
It was not the answer they expected, but certainly a welcome surprise. "What is holding you back?"
"I— I— I couldn't—" He wiped at his face angrily, trying to hide the tears, and Ozpin quickly passed over his handkerchief. "I didn't want to keep hurting people and they all hated me but if I ran they'd beat me to death— R-Raven's Semblance— T-there— I— she—"
"Shh," he soothed, rubbing Qrow's back but staying an arm's length away, giving him space to escape. He still flinched. "Deep breaths."
He half-turned, trying to hide his face, wiping his eyes again. "I couldn't run away because Raven c-could bring them right to me."
"Do you really think she would have helped them find you?"
"I-if she didn't then they would have just killed her first."
"So you convinced her to run with you."
"Our—our l-leader just died and everyone was scared. He was the one who… who protected us."
Ah. Yes. Bones Branwen's death had been toasted at more than one gathering of Huntsmen in the past year, and that was only in Vale.
"I convinced Raven and V—the new leader we should sneak into an Academy so we could take his place and protect the tribe," he said dully. "I thought if we had four years away from home then maybe I could convince her to… that we didn't…" his voice petered off, and when he spoke again it was nearly too soft to hear. "It doesn't matter."
"Let me help with your sister," Ozpin said, and Qrow slowly raised his head to stare, open-mouthed. "I'm sure a little extra responsibility around the school and a few careful nudges in the right direction couldn't hurt, but it's important that you know this kind of healing takes time. It will—"
"You're not…throwing us out?" his voice rang with disbelieving hope.
"Good heavens, no. Banditry would be a terrible waste of your talents." Ozpin chuckled as if the idea were absurd and squeezed his hand again. "Why don't you get some rest. Tomorrow is Saturday—come back in the morning and we can discuss your sister with clearer heads. And I hope you will allow me to refer you to one of the campus counselors."
Qrow nodded absently, staring at one of the desk legs.
"Then I'll see you at ten o' clock." Ozpin smiled. "It's all right if you're a little late. Eat something and get some rest."
He hesitated. "...Are you going to tell Summer and Tai?"
Ah. That was a tricky question. Now that the air had been cleared—with one twin, at least—Ozpin wasn't sure if Claret would continue allowing Summer to remain ignorant of her teammates' past.
"Not at present," he said. "And I would certainly consult you before doing so. ...But I believe you should tell them, before too long."
Qrow's eyes widened in something approaching horror. "What?"
"The truth has a way of coming out eventually. And it would be better to hear it from you."
"...I don't…" he wiped at his face again. "...They'll hate me."
"I very much doubt it," Ozpin replied. They had left Anima at a young age and were unlikely to have inherited their parents' prejudices. "Though it will probably be something of a shock, and they may not understand immediately."
Qrow didn't seem very reassured by that answer. Slowly, his eyes wandered toward the flask still sitting in the center of the desk. "…I know you have to pour out the moonshine, but…can I have my flask back?"
Brothers above.
"I'll give it back as a twenty-first birthday present," he said firmly.
Should we?
They knew all too well where that road could lead, and bandits did not have good habits to begin with. "Though... Mister Branwen, I do wish to warn you…Hunting and drinking do not tend to mix well."
"Uh…Thank you, Professor Ozpin."
He squeezed Qrow's hand once more before letting go. "I'll see you tomorrow."
Qrow slumped against the elevator wall as soon as the doors were shut, almost ducking out of the camera's view. Well, it's reasonable to assume that she didn't send them.
Yes, he agreed, only slightly disappointed that this hadn't turned out to be a lead. Much better for the twins that she wasn't involved. Though I'm not sure that will entirely soothe anyone's fears.
"Qrow!" Summer squeaked, leaping to her feet as the doors slid open and hastily drying her eyes on her cape. He stepped out, back into the next camera's view, still slouching and withdrawn in posture. "Qrow, I'm so sorry, I— I didn't know what to do, I—"
"Thank you, Summer." The camera barely picked up his words.
She sobbed and yanked him into a hug. After a moment he reciprocated, leaning his cheek on the top of her head.
Despite their earlier concerns, it seemed nudging team STRQ together had been the right call. Ozpin shuddered to think what might have happened if Mister Branwen had a team leader less capable than the one Miss Rose was growing into.
