I actually have a sub-plot in my fanfiction RWBY: Project Alpha where my OCs gather Penny´s parts and put her back together.



Her soul is currently stored on the newly restored CCTS, which now works thanks to a program operating just like a Seer, which was created by scanning how Weiss´ aura changes when she summons those.



Of course they first had to teach her how to do that, of course, but they didn´t tell anyone why they did it.







Anyway, I can totally see this being a thing.



Ruby gets to "keep" Penny after proving that she´s capable of repairing her, at least to some degree since Penny needs to be maintained every couple years or she´ll break, and Ruby just fixes Penny up every now and then. Normally Penny would have to shut down to make things easier, but Ruby likes Penny so much that she got around it and can now fix Penny while her moving parts are, well, moving. And Penny is trying not to move too much so Ruby can work better.



Also, the two holding hands like this is pretty cute, and has this "Don´t worry, Penny. I´ve got this. Isn´t the first time I have to fix your shoulder, after all." feel to it.
