Hey @LazyAutumnMoon, I just whipped up a small omake—got an idea at two in the morning.
They Were Extremely Lucky
When the scroll displayed an instas with danger level 0, Jaune and Lisa immediately seized the opportunity.
As it turned out, this medical instas promised no chases, no battles, no dirty blackmail. After landing in a hospital storage room, the team began making plans. Since neither Jaune nor Escha knew anything about medicine, the task fell to Tattletale.
Her powers were absolutely perfect for diagnostic medicine - sometimes too perfect. The poor girl suffered constant nausea and headaches became her permanent companion. But the quest had to be completed, so Lisa got to work.
After purchasing a set of documents for three points, Lisa pretended to be an intern, threw on a white coat, "borrowed" (or more accurately, stole) a stethoscope, and began storming San Bonaventure Hospital. In the depths of hospital politics, Tattletale felt like a fish in water.
Realizing they were useless here, Jaune and Escha left Tattletale to her business and went to explore San Jose. It turned out a beach vacation could be quite pleasant. Jaune had never had the chance to visit the beach before - his home was too far from the sea, with only a village lake nearby. Escha, on the other hand, had been to the ocean quite often due to Astra's coastal location, but rarely got to relax there, so she simply wanted to enjoy some lazy sunbathing.
And it was freaking awesome! Within just half an hour of arriving, the duo had joined a group of local surfers who were friendly enough to teach them how to ride the waves. They even gave them necklaces made of real shark teeth! Escha got one too - she couldn't stop playing with hers, earning everyone's affection and plenty of free snacks. What a smooth operator!
Some surfers even asked how Jaune got so muscular, to which he just joked around. No way he'd tell them about Hunter training regimens. Oooh, and he even got a tan, looking absolutely amazing!!!
Their peaceful days continued like this. Every evening during the event, Jaune would pick up Lisa from the hospital on a rented scooter. She always seemed irritated during these moments - probably because everyone stared at them. Maybe it was because he often rode shirtless after the beach. Brothers, he must have been embarrassing her so much!
Tattletale even growled at some intern who tried talking to him while commenting on his appearance. Escha just laughed at this and gave Lisa certain looks.
One evening Lisa came running out of the hospital with a huge smile. Mission accomplished, which meant it was time to wrap things up in this world and prepare to return to their apartment. But first, the team decided to celebrate their successful mission at a small family restaurant near the hospital.
Settling comfortably at a far table (the owner - a portly, dark-skinned man with magnificent mustache - didn't mind having the palico join them; after all, Escha was adorable), they ordered food and began interrogating Tattletale about her hospital adventures.
"So what was it all about?" Escha asked between bites of trout in cream sauce. "Must've been something serious if we stayed this long."
"Oh, you have no idea..." Lisa methodically destroyed her french fries while telling her story. "It was a germinoma - an extremely rare dysontogenetic brain tumor."
"Wow!" Jaune, sticking to his burrito, was impressed. He knew nothing about medicine, but the name alone sounded dangerous. "How did you figure it out?"
"It was easy! With my power - easier than taking candy from a baby!" Tattletale giggled.
"Lisa, don't take candy from children," Jaune muttered monotonously. He'd long since come to terms with... well, Lisa in general.
"It's the principle!" Lisa made a proud face - as always cute and as always irritating.
"So then why did it take so long?" Escha tried steering the conversation back on track. "You found the problem, time to treat it."
"That was exactly the problem! Since my documents said I was just an intern, no one would listen to me!" Tattletale's indignation seemed about to take physical form. "Even though I was right!"
"And how did you handle that?" Escha was engrossed in her friend's story. The poor child had never seen medical dramas, so to her this sounded like an exciting detective story about saving lives.
"I went to the only person who came even slightly close to my intellectual level - Dr. Shaun Murphy." Lisa hummed thoughtfully. "Sweet guy. Complicated but sweet. Using him as a battering ram made it easy enough to get the necessary tests approved. And after they came back, Dr. Murphy and his colleagues removed the tumor. Now little Timmy gets to live his life however he wants."
"You did great, Lisa," Jaune concluded with a soft smile. He loved seeing his friend use her powers to save lives.
"Yes yes, praise me more," she replied, hiding behind her drink, her cheeks slightly flushed.
While Jaune satisfied Tattletale's need for approval, Escha joined in too. At that moment, two guys approached a nearby table carrying bags clearly marked with the logo of a local comic shop chain.
Jaune recognized nerds when he saw them. He and Ruby used to be just like that, always running to get new comics. Well, before Jax...
With a practiced gesture (perfected in this world where cats were just cats), Jaune signaled Escha to stay quiet and pretend to be mute.
As the two guys browsed the menu, their conversation became clearly audible - and one phrase knocked the wind out of the Hunter:
"Bro, I can't believe you made me watch RWBY!" complained the first one, who had a goatee.
At that moment, Jaune felt the ground disappear beneath his feet. No. What were the odds...
"Yang is freaking hot!" argued the second nerd with bicycle-frame glasses.
Irrelevant.
"Yeah, she's hot, but I disagree with the plot twists," the first continued. "Poor Jaune can't catch a break. Seriously, the writers are sadists! First they kill his partner, then he suffers from guilt for several seasons, and finally they throw him into some parallel dimension and send him 20 years into the past. Like, seriously?!"
Something inside him died at that moment. He must have looked terrible after hearing this - Lisa even took his hand, while Escha pressed against him and purred comfortingly.
"Eh, it's still better than Worm. Like, that world's motto is 'And then it gets worse.' The author made it so bleak..." Glasses suddenly added.
At that phrase, Tattletale's eyes widened. She knew the name of her world and knew what was coming. Jaune squeezed her hand tighter.
"Yeah, okay, villains acting with impunity is one thing. But damn Illuminati can't even do their job right, and more crap keeps happening!" Goatee started gesturing wildly. "And who could've guessed aliens were behind everything?!"
"Yeah bro, like, all that stuff with parasites in parahumans' heads is just for data collection," Glasses supported the topic, unfortunately for Lisa. She seemed to be turning green.
"Maybe we can play the new Monster Hunter after dinner?" (Have you seen a cat's eye twitch? It's disturbing, and now Jaune knew this.) "I've got a couple co-op quests left."
"Sure, let's kill the evening!" his friend agreed.
Enough.
Without a word, Jaune stood up, threw several hundred on the table, and led the girls out. On the scooter, he remained completely silent as they headed back to the hospital.
In the same heavy silence, the team reached the hospital and sneaked into the storage room.
Now they stood before the portal back to their apartment. The hesitation was palpable. Jaune knew what this was: temptation. To learn everything about his fate. And possibly more.
"Sooo, anyone want to speak up?" Escha broke the silence first. Bless her.
"No..." the Hunter responded. "I mean yes, but no. I need to process this. I mean, look at Tattletale."
Lisa looked like she'd just experienced existential horror, periodically wincing. Right now she seemed to be squeezing every last drop from her power, having forgotten about Pierrot's elixir.
"We've got twenty, thirty minutes tops, and even if we wanted to... Those guys were talking about a book, a show, and a game. We definitely wouldn't have time. So right now we're going back to the apartment, going to sleep, and forgetting about this for a while."
"Agreed!" the palico nodded.
Thus their vacation ended in the most unexpected way. Everything had been perfect... until the very end. Now there was nothing to do but move forward. A new world, new adventures. For today, they were done.
