Chapter 8: Research

(Narrator's POV)

Luka, Qrow, Robyn and Jacques were still in their cells. Robyn was trying to entertain everyone by telling stories about her old missions with Joanna, May and Fiona. But nobody was listening. The huntress sighed.

"Tough crowd tonight." She complains before standing up and stretching. " Guess Ironwood should have paid for better cell block entertainment." She said. Qrow chuckled.

"And ke smiles! Did I win?" Robyn asks Qrow.

"Hey, it's your game. I don't make the rules." He replied. Robyn shifted her gaze.

"I'm sorry for what happened. It wasn't your fault." She says to the five o'clock shadow.

"It was though. I made a deal with the darkness, and he paid the price. It was all happening so fast, but Clover wouldn't let up. We could have worked against Tyrian, if Clover just..." Qrow begins to speak before immediately falling silent.

"But the thing that really stings, for the first time in a while, maybe I I throught maybe, maybe I could be around somebody. Anybody. Without my Semblance making it... Complicated... And now it's just feels like a childish dream... Gone...like everybody else." Qrow said to Robyn as Luka listened quietly.

"Believe it or not, I know a little of what that's like. When people are orried you're gonna sniff out their secrets, they tend to push you away. It makes a real connection difficult." Robyn tells him. Luka stands up.

"You know I've known you for a long time, and if you ask my opinion, I don't think your Semblance is what caused Clover's death." Luka said to Qrow. Suddenly, the door opened, and two Atlesian soldiers threw Watts into his cell.

Harriet entered the room and approached Qrow's cell with her arms crossed.

"You don't get to keep that." Ace-Ops said to Qrow in a dry tone.

"I didn't kill him." Qrow replied coldly.

"Hmm.. You keep saying that, but it was your weapon covered in his blood." Harriet retorted. Luka clapped slowly.

"Bravo, I've never heard such a pathetic argumentative shortcut, Harriet." The valian Master Corporal told her. Harriet walked over to his cell.

"Maybe you have a comment?" The Ace-Operative growls.

"Yeah, that with all your technology, you can identify Clover's blood, but you can't find any DNA. You don't care about the truth and you're just looking for an excuse to get pissed off since Tortuga passed away." Luka answered her with contempt.

"Keep his name out your mouth.'" Harriet orders Luka, who leans his fists against the fence

"If you want the truth, it's next door. You open her cell and take her hand." The soldier says to Harriet.

"If I open this cell, it won't be to shake hands." She answered him.

"Yeah. Beause you don't care about the truth. You just want someone to be mad at. Easier than taking an honest look at what side you're on." Robyn said to Harriet, who only have one desire: to open Robyn's cell and hit her.

"Hare. What are you doing?" Marrow calls out to her. The pink-eyed woman steps away from the cell and shoves her teammate.

"Nothing." She grunts.

"By the way, Bree..." Luka calls out to the Ace-Ops, who turns to him. "I know you went after my daughter and her team. So I'd rather warn you that if I have the misfortune to walk out of here, I'll beat your ass like a cherokee drum. Both you and the rest of your team." Luka threatens. Harriet just giggled.
