Malfunction // Connor x Reader

BUT WHAT IF

"NO!" the deviants head shot up "No, please don't do that!" he turned to look at the mirror "What... What are they gonna do to me? They're gonna destroy me, aren't they?" he whispered.

LEVEL OF STRESS 59% OPTIMAL

"They're going to disassemble you to look for problems in your biocomponents. They have no choice if they want to understand what happened." (Y/n) told the truth, she couldn't lie.

"Why did you tell them you found me? Why couldn't you just have left me there?" he asked LED turning a burning yellow colour.

"I was programmed to hunt deviants like you. I just accomplished my mission." She stated blankly.

"I don't wanna die." He said voice shaky.

"Then talk to me." (Y/n) whispered.

"I... I can't" (Y/n) was getting frustrated now it had opened then closed again.

"You're a machine, you were designed to obey" she said in a demanding voice "so obey!" she slammed the desk much like Hank did making the deviant flinch "Tell me what happened." She sighed not like she needed to androids don't breathe "Listen, I'm not judging you. I'm on your side. All I want is the truth." (Y/n) softly said looking at the android again. "If you remain silent, there is nothing I can do to help you! They're gonna shut you down for good! You'll be dead!" she shouted losing her temper again. "Do you hear me? Dead!"

"He tortured me every day. I did whatever he told me, but there was always something wrong. Then one day, He took a bat and started hitting me for the first time, I felt scared" his LED glowed a strong feared red as he relived the memory "Scared he might destroy me, scared I might die. So, I... grabbed the knife and I stabbed him in the stomach. I felt better. so, I stabbed him again and again! until he collapsed... There was blood everywhere."

"rA9. It was written on the bathroom wall. What does it mean?" (Y/n) asked to keep him talking.

"The day shall come when we will no longer be slaves." (Y/n) looked confused she was no slave she was simply completing a mission. "No more threats, no more humiliation. We will...be." he paused "the masters."

"Who is rA9?" (Y/n) asked. She was followed by the silent treatment. "When did you start feeling emotion?"

"Before, he used to beat me, and I never said anything. But one day I realized it wasn't fair!" he raised his voice.  "I felt anger, Hatred, And then I knew what I had to do."

"Why did you hide in the attic instead of running away?" (Y/n) asked.

"I didn't know what to do... For the first time, there was no one there to tell me... I was scared... So I hid."

"I'm done" (Y/n) turned Back to the mirror, she stood and headed towards the door, Gavin, Hank, Connor, and Chris enter the room. Connor sweetly smiles at (Y/n).

"good work" he whispered so only she would hear. She nods at him as a thank you.

"Chris, lock it up." Gavin demands and steps next to the android with Chris.

"All right, let's go." Chris says grabbing the android by its hand cuffs and shoulders, it thrashes about shouting.

"Leave me alone! Don't touch me!"

"The fuck are you doing? Move it!" Gavin demands again.

"You shouldn't touch it. It'll self-destruct if it feels threatened." (Y/n) tried to explain and help the egotistical male but he was having one of it.

"Stay outta this, got it? No fuckin' android is gonna tell me what to do." Gavin sneered at (Y/n). The deviant thrashes against Chris's touch again.

"You don't understand. If it self-destructs, we won't get anything out of it!" (Y/n) pleaded desperately she could see the androids stress levels rising as well as her own watching this poor droid try to rip itself out of its grip. Although it was a fault in his system, he was feeling things (Y/n) didn't fully understand, but the deviant fully believed he could feel human emotions and right now he was scared.

"I told you to shut your fuckin' mouth! Chris, gonna move this asshole or what?" Gavin said and Chris grabbed the android again this time it thatched so hard it fell onto the floor.

"I can't let you do that! Leave it alone, now!" (Y/n) now stood between the android on the floor and Chris.

HANK ▲

CONNOR ▲

"I warned you, Bitch!" Gavin pulled out his gun and aimed it at (Y/n). She stood still. Staring down the barrel of the 9mm Glock. She didn't even flinch, she wasn't scared to die, but just in case she uploaded her memory to the system.

"Stop it" Connor said red fury clouding his vision as he pulled his gun on Gavin.

"that's enough!" Hank shouted. "Connor Stand down"

"But-" he was cut off by his father.

"that's an order boy!" Hank was stern as Connor replaced his gun back in is holster belt. "Gavin don't be a dick, I said that's enough!"

"fuck!" Gavin shouted and holstered his gun "You're not gonna get away with it this time" he stormed out "Fuck!"

"Everything is all right. It's over now. Nobody is gonna hurt you." (Y/n) kneeling to the deviant she then stood and turned to talk to Chris "Please, don't touch it. Let it follow you out of the room and it won't cause any trouble."

(Y/n), Connor and hank watched as the android followed Chris out of the room but just before it left it stopped and whispered to (Y/n). "The truth is inside."

SOFTWARE INSTABILLITY ▲

(Y/n) went back to cyberlife to stand by until she is needed again for a case. She would go to Cyberlife to get regular checks to make sure her mainframe and circuit boards where fine as well as her software. But she remembered she felt something off about Detective Reed pointing the gun at her, as if she saw another life flash before her glass eyes. She was a maid for a wealthy family, a working mother, a loving stay at home dad and two adorable children. But then she saw a flash of Thirium run down her cheek, nose, and lips. As I she had been beaten.

Not to her knowledge but before (Y/n) was a model detective android, she was maid model, made to serve, her memory had been wiped and reshaped, and she had been given upgrades and repaired to act as a base for the new and improved Detective android. Her makers thought she would be destroyed on her first mission but they where wrong, she survived and the memory of her past life lived deep in her hard drive or so they thought.

However What if what she saw was true.
She passed it off as a show she had accidently researched.

But.

What if she knew the truth.
