You looked at the corpse. 28 fucking stab wounds. How the hell.... no. You had to stay focused. You needed to find the Deviant before Connor did. You didn't get that lucky though. Not long after you figured out where he was hiding, Connor figured it out too. You frowned. "Shit." You whispered, following Connor through the attic. Connor stood face to face with the deviant. "He's up here!" Connor shouted causing you to close your eyes in defeat.

So here you stood. Behind the glass in the interrogation room watching Connor question him. "I am on your side. No one is going to hurt you. Not while I'm here." Connor assures him. You stare at him. Connor turns to the glass and then stares at the ground deep in thought. "Send officer L/n in." Connor says. You walk in and sit next to Connor. "Hey there." You speak in a soft tone. "I bet we're scaring you huh?" You ask. The android nods slightly. "You might not believe Connor here, but I won't let them hurt you." You say calmly. "But. Right now we have a officer that's losing his patience. He's not so kind to Androids." You say. "...He hit me." The android began. "Your master?" You ask. "Yes.... he started hitting me. I... I had enough so.. so I..." His voice broke and he put his face in his hands. You got up and placed a hand on his back. "You were only acting in self defense." You say. "Please. Don't let them kill me..." He whimpers. You kneel to see his face. "I will do everything in my power to make sure you don't get hurt." You say. "Now. I'm going to take you to a cell, please. Cooperate. Okay?" You ask. "Okay. " He says getting up. You cuff him and escort him to his cell with Gavin following you. "You seriously care for these pieces of plastic shit?" Gavin asks as you close the door. "Yes. Now do us all a favor and shut your egotistical ass up." You demand, already done with his bullshit. "Why don't you-" He raises his hand to hit you when Connor catches it. "I would not suggest you bring harm to my partner." Connor says. He grips his wrist hard. "Ever." He says with severity. Gavin yanks back and straightens his jacket walking away.

"Thank you." You sigh. "Why is there such a terrible relationship between you and detective Reeds?" Connor asks. "...He's a creep. He can't accept the fact that I've turned him down so he constantly acts like that towards me." You explain. Connor frowns.

Software instability

Connor shifts in his place as if he was actually pissed off. You took note of that, especially since his LED was yellow and blinking red every now and then.

You went back to your desk and you sat deep in thought. Connor wasn't speaking and he'd look at Reeds with anger. "Connor?" You ask breaking his thought. "Yes Y/n?" Connor asks. "Are you okay? I mean, your LED is going nuts anytime Gavin is near you." You ask. "...I'm fine miss Y/n, thank you for asking." He says. Hank sits down looking at Gavin. "What did you say to him?" Hank asks. "Why do you assume I said something?" You ask. "He's been grumbling and cursing under his breath. Did you throw something at him?" Hank jokes. "That might be Connor's doing actually." You admit. "Seriously?" Hank asks. You nod. "Wow. That's... Huh." Hank mumbles. Fowler walks out.

"L/n, Anderson, Connor. My office." The captain says. You walk in and sit next to Hank, with Connor standing behind you. Fowler sits at the terminal. "I've got ten new cases involving androids on my desk everyday." He begins. "We've always had isolated incidents. Old ladies losing their android maids and that kind of crap. But now... we're getting reports of assaults and even homicides, like that guy last night." Fowler tells us. "This isn't just CyberLife's problem anymore. It's now a criminal investigation and we've gotta deal with it before shit hits the fan. I want you to investigate these cases and see if there's any link." Fowler says. "Why us!?" Hank asks. "Why do we have be the ones to deal with this shit? We are possibly the least qualified cops in the country to handle the case!" Hank says. You put your hand on your neck "Maybe not the least qualified" You thought to yourself. "I know jack shit about androids, Jeffery! I can barely change the settings on my own phone!" Hank argues. Connor looks at you and then back at Fowler. "Everybody's overloaded, I think you're qualified for this type of investigation." Fowler explains. You open your mouth to speak but Hank cuts you off. "Bullshit! The truth is nobody wants to investigate these fuckin' androids and you left me holdin' the bag!" Hank yells. "Hank. Calm the fuck down." You tell him. Hank glares at you. "CyberLife sent the android to help with the investigation. It's a state of the art prototype. It'll act as your partner." Fowler says. "No fuckin' way! I don't need another partner, and certainly not this plastic prick!" Hank argues. You can't tell if he was exhausted by you and just didn't want another burden or if he genuinely liked the system you two built. You wouldn't say it but Hank was like a father to you. "Hank you are seriously starting to piss me off! You are a police lieutenant. You are supposed to do as I say and shut your God damn mouth." Fowler says.

Anxiety started to fill you as the two argued. Connor would stare at you but anytime you'd take notice he'd look back at Hank and Fowler. "You know what my God damn mouth has to say--" You cut him off and slam your hand down. "Hank, shut the hell up." You demand. "Fowler, we'll take Connor, Hank, I'll watch him so you don't have to deal with him. " You say. "Y/n--" You cut Hank off and he could've sworn your eyes were red when you spoke. "Don't." You growl. Hank looks to you and then Fowler. He lets out a groan and leaves. With Connor's glance wandering over to you, yet again. "Well then.... I won't keep you any longer. Have a nice day captain." Connor says trailing after Hank. You go to leave but Fowler stops you. "Y/n." He says. You turn around. "Keep Hank out of trouble for me. His folder here already looks like a novel." Fowler says. You let out a small laugh. "I'll keep a eye on him." You say before leaving. Connor sat at the empty desk across from yours. 

"You have a dog right?" Connor asks Hank. "How did you know that?" Hank asks. "The dog hair is on your chair." Connor explains. "I like dogs. What's your dog's name?" Connor asks. "What's it to you?" Hank asks coldly. You clear your throat and Hank looks at you. Hank looks at the ground internally sighing. "Sumo. His name is Sumo." Hank says. Connor asks a few more questions before moving to you. "Miss Y/n." Connor says. You look up. "You don't have to call me 'Miss'" you tell him. "Y/n, what's your favorite band?"Connor asks. You shift in your chair.

"Hmmm. I mainly just put up with whatever Hank puts on in the car." You admit. "Do you have any pets?" Connor asks. "Nope. I live by myself." You say. "....Was it true you were a bounty hunter?" Connor asks. You fall silent.

You wanted to answer him but nothing came out. The glint of Simon's terrified look filled your mind and you sigh. "...I don't like to talk about it." You mumble. "I understand. Thank you for telling me so I don't bring it up again." You blush slightly, and of course, Connor took notice. "Y/n, your heart rate has gone up and your cheeks are red, are you sure you're completely over your cold?" Connor asks. Hank looks up and forms a small smirk. "I'm not sure it's a cold." Hank mumbles. "I-I'm fine Connor." You laugh nervously. "Still I have to be sure." Connor gets up and moves a chair in front of you, placing his hand on your forehead. Your blush worsens. "C-connor I'm fine!" You blurt out.

"It's getting even worse." Connor observes moving closer. "conNOR!" You squeak. "Kid, she's alright, she's just nervous because you're so close to her." Hank says. Connor pulls away "my apologies Y/n." Connor says. "It-it's alright" You mumble redder than a tomato. A notification pops up on your computer. "Uh. We've got a case." You say. "Let's move." Hank says getting up.

You take your black jacket off the back of your chair and put it on, trailing after Hank with Connor trailing behind you. 

You didn't know why but in that moment you really felt like a team.
