Heavenly Grace {A.C.I.T. Spin Off/Rewrite Brave Police Version}

Chapter 4; Suspicion

One more chapter to go! I'm hoping that Heavenly Grace gets a little more views here than it does on any of my other accounts on Fanfiction, AO3 ect. It seems to be going well so far, but you never really know right??

Anyway, Here's Chapter four!

~SPARKS TRAPPED IN DARK~

"Rogue? Can I talk to you?" The Gargoyle looked up, and blinked when Mockingjay took a seat on the bench beside him.

"Sure, what's wrong kiddo?" He asked, instantly noting that her frame was hunched slightly, and she kept looking over at Raven who was talking to Jinx about something.

"I'm worried about Raven. She's acting differently from how she did during the war and during the viruses tirade through the caste. I'm worried about her, she isn't usually so... Angry." Mockingjay explained softly. Rogue gave her a look, obviously not believing her before looking over at Raven herself. While he personally had never met her until he was released from his pod, he had heard rumors that she acted nothing like an actual princess should.

But, he also knew the rumor about Raven and Mockingjay practically growing up together in Broken Covert, a forest only lower caste bots could navigate without their wings breaking. It was a forest that used to be filled with most of the organic wildlife of Galexia. However, the rebellion and war did a number of a lot of the species, and the lower caste.

"What makes you say something is wrong? She's a Phoenix. They have tempers worse than yenta herself, and our current situation isn't exactly one to be calm about." He said, watching her scowl at him and wring her hands together. The metal screeched slightly, but other than that didn't make much noise.

"Raven never uses her temper. It's never had a reason to flare up-- ever. Not even when I had been captured by Roc and nearly experimented on. If it weren't for Raven and my creator I would..." Rogue watched Mockingjay shudder, but frowned anyway. Being a Roc experiment was nothing new. However, the fact they went after an /Angel/ of all things was a little surprising. Even if Mockingjay HAD grown up in the lower castes.

"War and wandering the stars alone for millions of years changes people 'jay. Raven's acting like a typical Phoenix-- if not much more reserved. You worry too much." He huffed. She made a sound of protest, but left without another word of complaint.

While the thought was in his head, Rogue took a moment to look Raven over. She seemed fine. But that didn't mean that Mockingjay's worries weren't irrelevant.

It was times like this Rogue wished a Sphinx had taken the Alicorn's place. The tatiction family always seemed to know what was going on before anyone else.

But there wasn't. There was only Rogue, and a few other youngsters in their small group of survivors.
