More Than A Machine || Connor x Reader D:BH

24| This Isn't Over

The two of them threw military after military to the floor, rage coursing through her veins as she shot at the last two men.

"Come on, North!" She yelled, helping the android as she limped behind the woman, ducking as Connor shot at the group of soldiers blocking their path. He approached them without fear, but (Y/N) was more focused on North & her shoulder.

"You okay?" She asked, breathing heavily.

"You saved my life..."

"Kinda part of my job.."

"Look, about what I said.. with what happened with Andrew-"

More gunshots rang overhead.

"Apology accepted!" She yelled hastily, looking up to see that Connor had taken all of the soldiers out and was now approaching them.

"Run! Quick, come on!" Markus bellowed, Connor staying to look at (Y/N).

"We need to jump."

"What? That water's at least-"

"Freezing temperature, yes, I'm aware!" He locked eyes with her.

"You've got to trust me.."

She rolled her eyes.

"Haven't I always? Otherwise I wouldn't be here." She gave him a hesitant smile. He took her hand.

"Deep breath."

She complied, & they went soaring out the hole in Jericho's walls, into the water below. (Y/N)'s hand never left Connor's as he pulled her close, ensuring she didn't sink into the icy waters below. Explosions filled the air, as she looked up she saw the man she'd suspected.

Special Agent Perkins was staring down at the water, & she could just make out what he was saying as her head bobbed up for oxygen quietly, in the discrete of darkness.

'This ain't over, Markus.'

Stained glass windows let light flood in as Jericho's people collected inside the near dismantled church. They were all sitting, waiting for the next order from their leader whom had recently visited his father figure. Judging by what Markus had told (Y/N), Carl was an amazing person, no wonder he wanted to visit him as he was bedridden. (Y/N)'s eyes scanned the room from where she sat on the steps, the dim glow of LEDs and arm bands were lighting up the room with a warm blue light. Whispers & mutters were heard, she identified some being about her.

'It's a human.'

'They've done so much to us, why have mercy on this one?'

'Is she dangerous?'

'Is she trustworthy?'

'Why does she stand behind us?'

'Does she plan to slaughter us?

'She doesn't change anything.'

'She's one of them'

'She-'

She cupped her ears, settling her head on her knees, Connor leaning against a pillar beside them.

"Don't listen to them."

She looked up, seeing Connor staring down at her.

"Let them believe what they want about you. We're all just pawns in this game, let them spread their epidemics. If they saw what you'd been through..."
