When the System Fails

When the system fails, Part 1

***

Dark grinned madly, managing to access and hack into Bing's cameras. He waited for the right moment when Bing moved. Taking a screenshot, he'd found their location from Bing purchasing something. He'd entered their IP code, oh, what a mistake.
Dark's grin grew to a bold smile, eyes wild crazed and observative. He decided to come collect him in the morning. Wanting to tear the poor android apart from it's obviously better caring owner.

He'd of course be kind enough to do it at the right most 'heartbreaking' moment. What do you expect, that's Dark for you. He waited until the early morning hours, knocking on Chase's door quite pointedly.

"I'll get it!" Bing called to Chase, walking up to the thing without giving time for Chase to confirm the action. He pried the door open, taking sight of Dark. He tilted his head, not knowing the stranger.
Dark on the other hand knew exactly who Bing was, he folded his arms behind his back, smile worn wry and crazed.
"Uh, Chase?" Bing looked behind himself to Chase, calling the other.
"What? Who is it Bing?" He asked, walking up and seeing Dark. He looked slightly surprised. He was most definitely not suppose to be the one at his doorstep.
"Dark, what the fuck are you doing here?" Chase half hissed, moving Bing behind him.
"Oh, I thought you'd know. You see, you have a little something of mine." His grin grew to a jagged toothy smile. He moved Chase aside, looking to Bing.
"He is not yours, I bought him fair and square." Chase put his hands on his hips, scowling slightly. Bing shied away, a little scared to be honest.

"Are we going to do this the easy way or the hard way?" Dark sneered, stepping into the house fully. Standing straight up, he was actually quite overtowering. Bing shrank a little even though he was about the same size. Just slightly shorter.
"Dude, you aren't gonna steal him. I will bring the order up to prove that I ordered him, bro." Chase huffed, Dark only raising an eyebrow.
"Hard way it is." He smirked, eyes devilish, cursing. Dark grabbed Bing by the throat, throwing him to the ground. Leaving him stunned and unable to react immediately. Dark then slammed Chase into the ground, hard, knocking him out and making Bing gasp.
Dark proceeded to grab by his legs and dragging him out of the house. He squirmed. Yelling curses and reaching for Chase. Calling his name frantically, he latched onto the door frame, wedging himself.
"Chase! Chase help!" He cried, one strong hand dislocating one of his shoulders and his other arm give out.
"No one can help you now robot!" Dark laughed, dragging him to his car. He strapped him down with ethereal chains, driving off to Mark's office. Bing struggled and thrashed the whole car drive, making quite the unexpected racket.

"Quiet down or I'll throw you out of the car." Bing froze at Dark's words, growling.
"If I kidnapped you, wouldn't you do the same?" He barked, struggling lightly. Dark threw a dagger at his head, aiming it to just miss. Bing squeaked, back suddenly straightening.
"Quiet." Dark simply demanded, pulling up to the office. He picked him up by the nap of his neck, dragging him inside and heading straight to mark's room.

"Look what I found." He smiled, throwing Bing to the floor in front of his feet. A grunt leaving his lips, he peered up at another stranger that looked similar to Dark. Mark opened his mouth in shock, eyes wide.
"Dark, you didn't... "
"I did." He looked proud, looking like a cat that just caught something and brought it to its owner. Bing weakly tried to get up, Dark pinning him down with a well placed foot to his back. He writhed trying to get loose.
"Alright, Dark, you can take him to his room, don't hurt him further please." Mark waved off, still shocked by the whole bringing.
"Let me go! I don't belong to you guys. As Chase said, he bought me I'm not property!" He contradicted himself, squirming in Darks hold. As he dragged him off again, yelling and shouting. Only to be thrown and locked in a plain white room just like Google's.
"Welcome home, Bing." Dark sounded, voice echoing as he laughed. He curled up in one of the room corners, hugging his knees. He rocked himself, not crying but certainly at a loss.

Chase awoke, groaning light as he rubbed his head. Wincing a little when he rubbed over an evident bump.
"Bing?" He called, just in case it was a hallucination. He glanced around, growing increasingly worried.
"Bing?!" He cried again, getting up swiftly. Tears started forming in his eyes as he searched around. Now it was time to play the same game as Dark. Hack and search.

It took four hours, but he finally gained access to Bing's vision. Since he couldn't remember where Mark's office was, he looked for anything to give away the address. Most of the waiting was for Bing to move or tilt his head. Dark slammed open the door, Bing snapping his head up and showing off something that gave away the location.
Chase pumped his fist, cheering with glee. He had to act fast, having no idea what Dark had planned. Rushing to grab the keys from his jacket pocket, he rushed out the door. Practically leaping in the car and driving off. Going way past the speed limit, he just missed a car, hearing a honk and angry yelling.

The city flew by and nothing mattered but his destination. He made a sharp turn, wheels squealing to a jolting stop. He sighed, running fingers through his hair and climbing out of the car.

Chase slammed the door open with his palms, rushing to the room and finding Dark hovering over Bing who was still huddled in the corner. Bruises now apparent, he gasped.
"Huh, well look who's back." Dark spat, leering his head up in a snobby gesture. Bing finally lifted his head, a twinkle of hope sparking in the very shine of his eyes when he took sight of Chase.

Google walked in, wondering what all the ruckus was. He nearly gasped upon seeing Bing. But kept his cards plain and emotionless, doing this right and effectively.
"G-Googl-" Bing cried out when Dark kneed his 'stomach.' Chase shoved Dark, earning an elbow to the ribs.
"Dark, what is the meaning of this?" Google sounded monotone, eyes grey and blank. Of course an act to save both of the entities.
"Bing's clearly broken, and this idiot thinks Bing's his." Dark kicked Chase, Bing getting defensive and standing, fists raised.

"What are you going to do? Hit me? It's against your coding you usele-" Bing cut him off by a straight punch to the eye, Google internally cheering him on as he stood there. He helped Dark up as part of the 'act.' Dark sneering and shoving his hand away once he was standing. Chase quickly grabbed Bing's arm, dragging him out of the room, only for Google to follow.

They ran into yet another office no one was in currently. It seemed to be full of medical supplies as if it belonged to a doctor. Google knew who's room this was.

Refusing to mention it, due to..personal reasons. Chase looked to Bing, bruises on Bing shocking him back to reality. He surged forward, Bing flinched, almost yelping, until he felt warm caring arms wrap around him. He hesitated for a moment before hugging back.
"Are you alright?" Bing asked softly, rubbing his back a little. Chase nodded, looking up at him now, he cupped his cheeks making him blush.
"I swear to god, if you scare me like that again, bro!" Chase threatened, shaking him.
"O-okay, bro." Bing giggled, squeezing him lightly. Google happened to be watching this blankly, Bing looking to him next. He left the hug, going over to him.
"Googs, you alright, man? You look a little...blank." Bing tilted his head, waving a hand in front of his eyes.

"I can assure you; I am fine, Bing." He responded in a monotone manor.
"C'mon Googs, I missed ya!" He opened his arms to hug him, the other refused, taking a step back. He held a hand up, stopping him.
"Google?" Bing frowned, dropping his arms as Chase put a hand to his shoulder. Bing gave Google a last begging look, before relaxing and stepping away himself.
"Sorry..." Bing looked down.
"No need."
"No, let me be sorry, I would have come with you if I'd known this would've happened! Hell, I would have dragged you over to Chase!" Chase flinched at that, a little flattered, his face flushed with a light pink as he rubbed the nap of his neck awkwardly.
"No," Google simply responded, shutting him out.
"Yes!"

"No!! It is my fault for being in the wrong place at the wrong time!!" Google suddenly lashed out, stepping a foot forward as he intimidated him lightly.

"Google..chill man. It's not worth that..." Bing stepped away, hands up in defense. Everyone fell silent when they heard a knock came to the door. Everyone froze, except for Google, who simply walked up to the door opening it.
"DUDE!-" Chase almost barked, until Google gently pulled in what seemed to be another of Mark's egos. This one must have belonged to this office, he wore a doctor's outfit. In slight shock when he saw Chase and Bing, Google reassured him. Whispering something comforting as he guided him further in. Shutting the door, The two looked to the doctor and fellow android in confusion.
