Change (A Connor x Reader story based on Detroit Become Human)

Chapter Fourteen (Deviant)

xX0Xx

Just a few minutes ago, Gavin Reed was found unconscious on the ground with no wounds on him. People had believed that it could have been an android defending itself but Hank had other ideas. His daughter was nowhere near the area and when he had checked where she parked her car it was gone.

He knew it must have been something extremely important if she had to leave without telling him so, he figured that it was also Connor related. Hank thought back to the android and couldn't help but wonder exactly what his relationship was to his daughter.

Thinking back, they had started off as just partners but, during the past few days, things have changed rather quickly. He didn't think he'd ever get a chance to fix his relationship with his daughter after being the shitty father that he was but, in a span of a few days, they've interacted more than in the last three years.

They started talking again, eating together, joking around and he felt that their relationship started to improve. He didn't want to admit it but he had Connor and the androids to thank for that.

This revolution was definitely a big mess but there was something good that happened to him in his personal life.

At first, he really hated the fact that he had to deal with androids but, when Y/n took the case from him he became very ashamed of himself. As a Lieutenant, he shouldn't be complaining to the point that his daughter was even more professional than he was.

He saw everything Y/n does for him and seeing how she took the burden from his shoulders because she doesn't want him to be uncomfortable didn't settle well with him. As a father, he felt that he should be the one making more sacrifices for his daughter.

He also didn't want his daughter to be around the things he hated and since Connor was there too he felt even more peeved with the whole situation. Hank didn't show it but seeing Connor with Y/n really grinded his gears and reminded him of the android that had operated on Cole.

At first it, He was upset with Connor because he was an android but then he saw that in the span of a few days, they somehow became friendlier towards each other; he wasn't blind.

But, it was thanks to Connor being there and his meddling that his relationship with his daughter got better. In a way, Connor had been a big part of their change in relationship but of course, he would never admit that out loud.

His mind went back to the time when Connor encouraged him to show Y/n that he was thankful for her taking the investigation off him, he also remembered when he gave him conflict resolution advice on their way to the Eden Club.

Although he hated it at the time, it was pretty good advice and if he hadn't followed it he doubted Y/n would be somewhat closer to him now.

What did peeve him was that on top of the conflict resolution advice he gave, Connor gave his own form of advice. Now that Hank thought back to it, that was the kind of advice someone with emotions would give.

When Hank got out of his room, fully dressed, Connor was outside standing still and staring at the road. Y/n's car was nowhere to be found and he felt a pang of guilt, he knew he had a problem but he couldn't admit it, or rather, he didn't know how.

After finding out that his only daughter was almost killed by an android today, it sent him into a spiral. Memories of Cole flooded through his mind and he wanted to forget, he wanted to forget the pain of his son's death and the fear he felt when he found out what would have happened to his daughter if Connor hadn't been there.

He hadn't noticed that he started playing with his gun when he got dead drunk, it was a habit he developed and something he and Y/n had already fought about.
