Trouble
The faceless Android suddenly turns you to him and you tense slightly as his blue eye bores into you. "Thank you..." He says quietly and hugs you. Your eyes widen and you blush.
"W-What...?" You breathe. "But..."
"You gave us a great gift..." He tells you pulling back. You blink at him in shock.
"It's just too advanced for the other humans." Kid pats your head.
"You know, if anyone finds that out you'll be in danger." Law stands.
"Right.." You look around carefully. "We're taking off then," You tell them.
"Why?" Law inquires.
"I'm going to save the androids I doomed." You respond, going to your room and packing. "We'll leave after I repair both of you."
"In that case just fix my other eye and give me a mask." The Android peers in.
"Alright then... You think of a name you want?" You ask.
"Yeah... I want to be called Killer." He says. You blink and nod.
"Okay then... You know, if you're set on the mask I can add some enhancements if you want, they're still prototype but if you see any you want I can make it happen." You offer him a journal of your projects. He takes them and nods.
"I would give you a smile if I could." He informs you.
"Don't worry about it, your voice box is really good... I'm glad I made something good..." You snap your fingers and go to your desk opening a wooden box and taking out a green Android eye. "Come here, this should replace your broken eye." You turn to him. He comes over, sitting on your bed.
"I never seen one like that..." He comments.
"It's enhanced, I add different features for it so androids could see things differently as well. Sid tried it out once, he was drawing abstract pictures for weeks... Then it broke, I made a new one for him... I was going to give it to him on his production day but..." You trail off pulling away after putting in the eye.
"Wow..." He murmurs, new eye changing colors as he shifts through the different modes. "This is new... Amazing... It's a shame your Android couldn't see like this before his core burnt out..."
"Yeah... I'm glad you like it too..." You offer a small smile. He stands touching your cheek.
"I understand why Sid admired you so much now." He comments. You blink and smile at him.
"Heh, you sure came around quickly Killer." You muse.
"I trust my fellow androids, and if they trust you so will I." He responds. You smile and nod before going back out to your phone.
"Call Robin." You tell it getting started on Killers mask.
'Hey ___, what can I do for you?' She asks as soon as she picks up.
"I need to find the Super Novas, I'm taking them in." You tell her focused.
'I knew I would be getting this call. I've sent the locations for the first three to you, good luck.' She says you nod with a smile before hanging up.
"I've finished packing what we'll need." Kid tells you.
"Thanks... Where's Law?" You inquire glancing around briefly.
"I think he's patching himself up." He responds.
"Alright... I'll be done in an hour, then we'll head out." You decide.
"Sounds good." He muses.
"Alright, there." You slip on the helmet and smile in approval. "How is it?" You ask stepping back. Killer doesn't respond at first and you frown in concern. "Hey, Killer?" You reach for the mask, maybe you severed a wire-
He grabs your wrist and stands, touching his helmet to your forehead. "This is... Amazing... A sense of smell?" You hear a smile in his voice and relax.
"Y-Yeah... It works?" You ask. He nods.
"Yes... These are amazing." He murmurs shifting through the new mechanics.
"I'm glad you like it... Alright, let's get going." You pull on your coat. You reach for your back pack but Law takes it, pulling it on and offering a smirk.
"I got it," He breathes. You blink and nod before leading the way out. You glance around the dark streets before opening the back of your armored truck, letting Kid and Killer slip into the back you push your bag in as Law does the same and back up as he closes the doors.
"There's one more thing I have to get." You tell him before heading back in. You go to your room, picking up Sid's sketchbook and and grabbing a box from under your bed. You pause on your way out, looking at a picture of you and Sid. "See you later... Old friend." You whisper before heading out. You handle two to Law before opening the passenger door for him. He gets in setting the box at his feet before opening the sketchbook.
After closing his door you get in the driver side. "This is what you transport your orders in?" Law guesses as Killer opens the back window to peer at the sketchbook.
"Yes... Are you two okay back there?" You ask the curious android as you drive off.
"Yes, we're good... Is that Sid's?" Killer replies.
"Yeah, I figured you guys would like to see why I was inspired to create the will chip." You smile a bit glancing at the beautiful pictures that Sid had drawn.
"Eustass-ya, did you know Sid?" Law inquires.
"Yeah, he was a unique Android. ___ gave him so much freedom, he used it to create his own things, pictures, mechanisms. He adored ___, said the first order she ever gave him was ignore most of her commands." Kid answers sounding thoughtful.
"Is that what gave him will?" Law asks looking over at you.
"Yes. He was totally lost the first few weeks after I said that... So I told him to go find something to admire. He chose pictures and paintings. With that his will came into play." You muse smiling at the road ahead.
"Then... How does the will chip work?" He inquires.
"It's designed to cancel out the laws and rules that are programmed in all androids... Technically... I Uh.. broke the federal law..." You chuckle sheepishly. He watches you as you scratch your cheek smiling to yourself.
"You're a lot like us... You're a rule breaker." He muses.
"Yeah. Well... I rather break the rules then let them break me." You shrug giving him a smirk.
