People never think that good luck can be a curse. Maybe because they never think of the consequences of always getting what you want. Of things never going wrong for you. Always getting the guy, always winning, never getting hurt. Perpetual good luck makes you untouchable, unattainable. And it makes meaningful connections difficult. It means hurting those you love as nothing ever goes wrong for you, while thing's endlessly go wrong for them. It means never understanding what it is to fail.

"So you're going to leave?" Qrow stood on the roof behind his sister.

"I'm making them miserable," Raven said, stroking the face of her newborn baby. "I'm hurting Summer, and I'm hurting Tai, I'm only going to hurt Yang. I need to leave before I make things worse."

"And neither of them could be happier." Qrow said as he sat down beside his sister.

"Because they don't realise my semblance is causing this."

"We've explained to them a million times what our semblances do." Qrow said, reaching over to run a finger over his niece's forehead. "That I only bring bad things to people, and your good luck comes at the expense of others. If they wanted us gone, they would have gotten rid of us long ago Raven."

"But what if they are only happy because I don't want them to reject us?"

"I don't think that's the case Sis," Qrow said with a wry smile. "I think they must have the patience of saints to keep me around. Even with your luck."

"Qrow, you know that Summer was always in love with Tai? And that he had a crush on her when we started at beacon?"

"Yeah, everyone knows that," Qrow said with a joking tone. "Even Jacques's shrivelled heart could see that love."

"Then why did he choose me?"

Qrow was quiet for a moment. "Tai fell in love with you. Sometimes thing happen like that."

"What if he only fell in love with me because I wanted him?" Raven's voice broke as tears started to well up in her eyes.

"That's not what happened -"

"Yes it is!" Raven yelled. "I wanted Tai, and he fell for me, and Summer was happy for us even though she had been in love with him since she was seventeen! She can't be happy."

"This happened two years ago Raven." Qrow said. "And you only have an issue now. What changed?"

"Yang," Raven smiled down at her daughter. "I'm scared my good luck will hurt her like it's hurt them."

"So you're leaving because you love her?"

Raven nodded. "I don't want to accidentally hurt her. I don't want my good luck to cause her pain. I don't want her to see me never fail and think she's no good because she can fail."

"So you will leave your daughter without a mother." Qrow said to his sister, a statement of fact rather than a question. "You're going to hurt her this way too."

"She will have Summer," Raven said. "Summer who will be able to help her grow into a well rounded young woman, who will be able to help her with failure. She'll have you, and she'll have Tai, and I won't be able to hurt her." Raven passed Yang to Qrow before standing up on the roof's ledge.

"I can't stop you can I?" Qrow said, carefully nestling his niece into the crook of his arm.

"I always get what I want Qrow." Raven shook her head. "There isn't a force in the world that could stop me."
