Stone and Metal | Detroit: Become Human | Connor

{2}

Connor's POV

its a week later and I'm at the address Hank sent me to go to which is supposedly Alexa's house. I walked up the porch steps and was faced with a whitewashed door and knocked three times on it. I waited for an answer to come from beyond the thick door. A few seconds went by and I heard a grudging voice call back "coming!" And heard heavy footsteps coming towards the door.

The door opened swiftly and a tired looking girl leaned on the door frame with her hair tied loosely in a ponytail. She wore black jeans that flailed out a tiny bit when it reached her ankles and a Slytherin T-Shirt from the old series Harry Potter.

"You do know the first Harry Potter book came out in 1997 and the movie in 2001-."

"Yes, now shut up... I like old stuff because new ones are trash, they reuse the same plots and characters from old movies because it's hard to come up with something original so I might as well watch where the ideas came from..." she explained very hastily waving her hands around as if it were helping her explain herself.

When I was about to open my mouth again to speak, she continued off from what she said "Well, I mean, I also like really old stuff like the Indiana Jones movies which is funny because we're in Detroit and his name is Indiana which is another state in America so- yeah, but I also like ones from the early 21st century like The Death Of Stalin, I'm a very historic person and I'm not sorry for rambling on because, well, you're an Android so they're not supposed to care, they're supposed to obey, but I guess there are deviants so that may not go as planned so yeah..."

"Right..." I paused, "so, what's your favourite movie?"

"urrrg, Why do you care, Android sent by my uncle?" She said "your name is Connor, right?"

"That is correct."

"Well, Connor, if possible, and I know it is, would you not talk to me because I very much like to be on my own and not disturbed." She tilted her head with a fake smile plastered on her face.

"Yes." I simply said and waited a bit wondering if I could say one last thing whilst she stood in the doorway before Alexa finally said.

"What is it?"

"I'm supposed to take you to school now..."

"Oh, yeah, right. I just need to get my bag." She ran back inside towards a table that had tones of textbooks and folders on. She grabbed her bag beside the table and walked towards the door, slipping her shoes along the way.

She headed out the door without a word whilst also shoving me to the side slightly and walked towards the car. I watched her as she got in and stared out at nothing. I walked over and got in the drivers seat, buckling up and turning on the engine.

I drove silently, occasionally looking in the rear view mirror to see Alexa staring out the window with a neutral face and hands crossed in front of her chest. Her eyes sparkled in the sun which peaked through the sides of the houses, lighting up her emotionless face as though she actually did have emotions. I wonder if she'd ever show them though.

***

We arrived at the university she studied at and parked on the side of the road. she took hold of her bag and with one hand, opened the door closing it behind her.

"Hey Alexa!" I called out to her with my window rolled down.

She spun around with her head looking up, "what?" She asked when coming to a halt.

"Should I pick you up here or somewhere else when you finish?"

"Pick me up wherever, here's fine but be sure to avoid taking spaces that are some skunks home." She pointed to the front of the car then left without saying another word.

My God she's going to be a pain.

A/n
Hiya! I hope you enjoyed this chapter of Stone and Metal. If you have any feedback that would be greatly appreciated but I would prefer if when criticising that you do not swear at me.

later on in the story I might ask you guys for ideas for names, locations to go to etc so I hope you will help

Also, it's nearly half term for me in school so I'll hopefully update more often.

Anyhow, have a nice day (or night if you're like me and hide your phone from your parents)
