Of course, that is a lie, but I can tell Y/N is tired. Slumped. The crime scene seems to have troubled her, and after the android interrogation, she seems to be lost in thought. Constantly, so I decide to leave her be.

Hank mumbles to himself, walking around the opposite end of the room as us.

Y/N reaches her hands out, her fingertips grazing the tabletops in the center of the room. She notices me inspecting her, and she glances up. Smirking, she asks, „What, Connor? You having fun here?" Knowing what she is getting at, I only manage a small smile, „No, officer." She scoffs, smiling at me. I can't quite tell because the dim lighting, but her face seems to flush.

A shuffle is heard from across the room, and she whips her head around the corner, analyzing the area. Hank looks as well, flustered. Y/N has amazing analyzing skills, and she notices the movement before I do. She runs towards a group of androids, lined up in a small box form. A girl, an android, runs out of one of the rows and attacks Y/N. Hank rushes over, and another android attacks him.

Swiftly, I lean over to Hank. Considering he is more likely to loose a fight, I help him.

A brown haired android, beautiful. Her light flickers red as she pushes Hank onto the ground, her knees resting over his chest. He tries to push her off, but she only punches him back into the ground. When I get to them, I kick her sides to knock of her center of balance. She stumbles, and Hank takes the opportunity to throw her off of him. She lands on the floor, back on the cement. Hank recovers, so I pounce over her and grab her wrists.

She pushes back, kicking me in the stomach. Not able to keep my grip tight and keep her on the ground at the same time, she pushes me to the floor. We roll back and forth, switching between top and bottom. When Hank finally gets back on his feet, he pushes the android off of me. I crawl, quickly getting back on my feet. She lands on her knees, immediately getting herself back up. She pushes me, holding on. My back lands on the table, and her legs wrap around my chest.

When I attempt to roll over, I see Hank on the floor. He is holding his stomach, like something damaged him. I notice a small pool of blood on the floor. Apparently, when he was trying to push the android off of me, he must have stumbled and hurt himself.

I hear Y/N scream Hank's name, and a huge pounding sound follows. I push the girl off of me, but she manages to keep me down. I shove my arm in between  her thigh and my chest, forcing her to loose balance. I see Y/N rush beside me, and she pushes the android off. In turn, Y/N lands on top of me. Her hair brushes my skin, and for a moment I am speechless.

Only a millisecond passes, but she immediately pushes herself off of me. She kicks the android, grabbing her hair when she stumbles and spinning her to slam on the ground.

Y/N's head swings back to me, her eyebrows furrowed. „Connor, go help Hank. Wrap your jacket around him, and I will take care of them for the meantime." I stumble up, still speechless. When I don't move, she yells, „GO!"

I am snapped back into reality, and I run over to Hank. I slide down to him, kneeling. I rush to take my jacket off, putting pressure on his stomach. I get the sleeves to wrap around his torso, securing pressure. „Connor, you could've done this faster. But it's fine, just stay over there and have a make out session-„ „Lieutenant , speaking will only make your stomach move and hinder the ability to stop the bleeding."

He shuts up, (Which was really my goal) so I lean him up against the wall. Glancing back at Y/N, I see her fighting off the two androids.

I run over, and the two androids start to get away. They run into the alleyway, but me and Y/N rush over there and pin them against the gates.

We struggle for a few minutes, but I finally manage to pull out my gun.

Y/n kneels next to me, breathing heavily. The two androids, the infamous blue haired Traci and what seems to be her lover, stand and stare at me. They hold hands, „All we wanted was to be together." The Traci says, seeming like she is about to breakdown in tears. „He started to hurt me. So I just grabbed his throat... and choked. It was self defense! I just want to be out of this place where the filthy humans just use me!"

I hear stumbles behind me, and I presume it is Hank making his way over to us.

My gun shakes in my hand, unsure of what to do. I sort of expect to hear guidance from Y/N next to me, but when there is silence, I just sit there. The two androids hold each other, and I feel a push in the back of my head. A.. change.

I put the gun down.

The two androids seem to gasp of relief, turning to climb the fence.

Software instability

The gun falls out of my hands, clinking onto the gravel. I hear Y/N talk beside me, „Maybe it is better this way." I feel a sense of.. trouble dwell inside me. But, strangely, also relief.





„Hey guys," Hank groans, „Just a tip, maybe next time when your partner is bleeding out on the floor, don't just sit there and stare each other. Please?"
