Deviants: All Points Bulletin - Connor x Kara

Highway Detour

Kara stares wide eyed in shock and desperation. Shock of the oncoming vehicle heading toward Alice and desperation in hopes of reaching her in time. Running to save her, she was stopped. It was the android who was chasing them.

She stares at its lifeless eyes stare right back at her pleading ones. “Let go, let go of me please!” Kara pleaded. Turning back in Alice’s direction, time slows as she sees the scared eyes of the young girl, the speeding truck wheeling its way to send the girl to oblivion.

Then it all happened like a blur, Alice was safely on the other side of the highway sidewalk, confused and scared. Both Alice and Kara’s mouths were agaped at whom the saviour was and how fast he managed to get there on time. It was the Android, who originally was chasing them, that came to the rescue. But it all came at the cost of his right arm that was, unfortunately, was still within the zone of contact with the truck. Its left arm wrapped around Alice to secure her from any oncoming or further danger. Thirium dripped down from where its severed arm connected. It turned to Alice and she saw its eyes.

Concern. Concern for her safety, concern of any injuries on her. Alice sobs as she slowly placed her trembling hand on the android’ s severed arm socket. The rain failed to camouflage her Tears, in empathy to the android that risked its life for her.

“T-t-thank y-y-you…” she managed to say despite her sobbing. A traumatizing experience it must’ve been, to see your life almost end in an instant. But the open arm socket also triggered a memory of hers when Kara was dealt with a similar fate.

Alice couldn’t take it anymore, she hugged the android began to cry. Kara, still dumb-founded, fell down to her knees. She had her hands covering her mouth, in tears that Alice was miraculously saved and safe. She couldn’t move at all, no matter how hard she forced herself to move, she couldn’t.

Hank saw all this transpire in the span on three minutes. It happened so fast even he couldn’t believe his own eyes. He was brought out of his thoughts by an officer. “Lieutenant, Lieutenant, what are your orders?” Hank turned his ears towards the officer, eyes never leaving sight of the scene, and ordered to go back to call in medics. “Wonders of technology….son of a bitch, Connor. I gave you one order and you ignored. Now look where it got you. Crazy fucking android, don’t go offline on me now."

Kara finally got out of her shocked emotional state and manages to stand up. Quick but careful, she crossed the street to reach the android and Alice, who has stopped crying while still continuing to hug the android. A large puddle of Thirium has now overflowed on the ground next to the android.

"Alice, Alice, Alice talk to me. Are you ok? Are you hurt?” Kara, in haste, made her way in front of Alice and the android. Alice finally released her hold from it and turned to Kara. Eyes puffed and crimson from the tears were slowly beginning to be washed away from the rain.

“K-Kara, I was so scared. I thought…I-I thought I was going to die.”

“Everything is going to be alright Alice. Your safe now, that’s all that matters.”

“But that man, he saved me, risked his life for me…”

Kara turned her attention behind Alice. It was indeed a man for sure, but the severed arm and blue blood says otherwise. This was Android and by the looks of it, it was a new model. RK800. Still cautious, Kara moved her hand slowly to his only arm left to probe it.

Before she could even touch it, the android immediately jolted up from its encumbered state. Kara quickly hid Alice behind her just in case the android would try anything. The android turned in the direction of its target. He stared and continued staring until he finally spoke.
