Rocket pretended like she totally couldn’t see Nickel flying below them out of the corner of her eye.
Soon, though, thoughts of Nickel were swept from her mind. Ahead, she saw a squad of the gang members swoop down upon a small group of non-members who had been picking through a trashcan. Most were easily subdued, except for one, splashed with white across his chest, who almost got away. Then, a light gray non-member shot away towards the piers from where she had been hidden behind another trashcan.
“C’mon!” Rocket cooed, feeling uneasy at the treatment of the non-members. Before, she would’ve saw it as something that was necessary for the safety of the gang. Now, after meeting Nanako...
They hadn’t even tried to fight back.
Rocket tried not to think about it as they flew closer and closer to the piers, and towards what she thought would be a worthy battle.
