Sunny: I have so many aesthetic pictures backed up on my phone just for the rewrite of "What Can You See?" We ain't skipping out on the aesthetic this time around boys.

It's been a few months since Zer0 and I split ways. Rhys and I have been working together to rebuild Atlas, but it's been tough. There's always some jackass coming around to try and attack Rhys to get the rights to Atlas, but I'm always there to protect him.

Rhys, even though I've saved him multiple times now, still seems jumpy around me. I wish I could understand why, but there are still so many things I don't know about emotions.

I sigh as my thoughts start to make me feel bad.

I'm currently in the room given to me by Rhys in the Atlas facility. It's a nice room, but the red and white is a little hard on the eyes at times.

I unlatch my new helmet. Rhys made me a different suit. It is similar to my Hyperion made one, but it has a more sleek design, some upgrades, and the old Hyperion colors were replaced by Atlas colors.

I noticed that it also seems a bit more comfortable than my old one. He may not like me very much, but at least Rhys thinks about my comfort.

I continue to take off the armor piece by piece only leaving my suit beneath it on.

I lay out the pieces on my desk and take off my gloves.

I grab my tools and start doing maintenance on the more delicate parts.

I was working on the circuitry of the arm that connects to a built in ECHO comm when I heard a light, hesitant knock against my door.

"Hey, Y/n you in there?" I hear Rhys's voice from behind the door.

I quickly put my helmet and hood back on before rushing to open the door.

I open the door quickly, slightly startling Rhys.

"What is it you need?" I question him.

"Oh! Um nothing really... I just decided to come check up on you? See how you were doing?" He lets out a nervous chuckle.

"What are you really here for?" He flinches.

"Wow, I'm that obvious?" He sighs before he continues. "I- I just wanted some company for a little bit. Some... Bad memories came up. Don't really want to be alone right now and you're the only person here that I don't have to pay to be here."

I don't say anything as I open the door more for him to come in.

"Were you working on your armor? Sorry if I interrupted you." He says as he notices the armor laid out on the white desk.

"It is fine, I was just checking to make sure everything was working correctly." I explain and he lets out an understanding hum.

I go to put up some of my tools only to notice my ungloved hands.

Shit.

I look around for my gloves and try to keep my hands out of sight.

I see Rhys from the corner of my eye sit in a chair in the corner of the room as he looks around the room before he looks in my direction again.

I hold my hands behind my back as I still try to find my gloves.

"Hmm? What is it?" Rhys ask, noticing my strange behavior.

I look in his direction.

He is my boss now... It should be okay if he knows.

"Rhys." He jumps a little, apparently not expecting me to say his name.

"Y-yes?" He responds.

"There is something I must show you, please do not be scared."

"O-oh, okay. What is it?"

I walk to him and sit on the coffee table in front of him.

"I'm not exactly what you think I am."
I bring my hands from behind my back and show him. His full attention is now on them as he looks at the sharp claws and the desaturated skin tone that fades into black as it nears my fingertips.

"I am not human. I was created by Hyperion scientist by combining the DNA of a human embryo with different alien species. I am sorry for keeping this from you, but this is not knowledge I enjoy everyone knowing." I end the sentence with taking my hood and helmet off so he can see my face.

His eyes were wide as he studied my features.

"Woah. I- there- there were always rumors on Helios, but I- I never thought they were true! This is crazy! Hyperion really did make a person!" He seems almost, excited?

"Would you mind if I- um- if I... Got a closer look?" He ask.

I lean closer to him and stick out my hand so he can grab it.

"If you desire to study my anatomy, I do not mind."

His face goes a little red. "Don't put it like that! I just meant that I was a little curious..." He's now eyeing my chest.

I sigh.
"You are too... What's the word... Nervous? Your body language gives you away too easily, so it's obvious what you wish to see." He starts to panic and cover his face as I unzip the top of my suit so I can slip it off my shoulders so that he can see all of my upper body.

Seeing his flustered face and covered eyes, I quickly grabbed his wrist and pulled his hands away from his face and looked him directly in the eyes. "Just look. It's not strange for me, so calm down."

"Well it's weird for me! Humans normally don't just strip in front of each other!" He's trying to avoid looking at me.

"I am not human and I do not have genitalia. It's not weird." This grabs his attention.

"What? You don't have... So- there's just nothing down there then? How is that possible?" His eyebrows were furrowed and he seemed to be in deep thought.

Getting impatient, I grab his face, making sure to be careful with my claws, and I make him look at me. I narrow my eyes a bit at him. "Just look."

His face goes red again, but this time he doesn't look away.

"Fine." He caves in and grabs my hand. He brings it closer to his face so he can study my claws and test their sharpness.

"Careful. They're sharper than they look." He nods and turns my hand over so he can study my palm and the pads of my fingers. I never noticed those parts were different too. Only slightly though. He glides his fingers across my palm and fingers, testing the texture as his metal arm has a hold on my lower arm.

His hands travelled up to my chest where he traced some of the markings and scars there. Something about this seems strange, but the contact makes me feel nice so I ignore it. No one has ever touched me like this. Even with Jack I always touched him, he never really touched me.

"Wow, you don't even have a bellybutton! You really were created... No hair either, so that means you're not entirely a mammal." He mumbles to himself as he studied me.

His attention next goes to my face. I close my eyes so he doesn't have to worry about eye contact.
I feel rough fingers lightly brush against my cheek and slightly touch the eyelashes of my lowest eyes. I feel the cool metal of his cybernetic arm as he cups my face and I feel his thumb feather against my face softly.

This feels nice.

I then feel a light touch against my ear. I grab his wrist and open my eyes.

"Do not touch my ears."

"Ah! Sorry, sorry! I didn't know they were sensitive! Please don't break my wrist!" He squeaks out in a panicked manner and I quickly release his wrist as I realize how hard my grip was.

"Are you done?" I ask him.

"Yeah. Um... Sorry I got a little carried away."

"It's fine." I stand up and zip back up my suit before I go to my desk to continue work on my armor.

I pretend to not notice Rhys's eyes watching me intensely.
