「Chapter 4」

     "What exactly did you tell her, Connor?" Hank asked, arms crossed over his chest. The two were now on the other side of the of the police station, (Y/n) is seen sitting in a chair next to Hank's desk by herself as she ate her cookies and drank her hot chocolate quietly. Connor looked back at the older man with a slight head tilt.

     "I noticed her stress levels were still high when you left so I took the time to reassure her that she's safe with us. I had also took notice that she has nowhere else to go since she had previously lived with Caranza, who is now on house arrest. I then remembered that you have an extra vacant room in your home so I suggested that she can stay with you." Connor said as Hank sighed heavily while rubbing his face. "But that is, if you're willing to take her in for the time being?"

     Hank sighed again with a shake of his head, crossing his arms and shrugging, "I don't know, Connor. Having to take care of Sumo and you is enough work as it is," Hank said. Connor had also started living with Hank ever since he became a deviant when the revolution ended and he no place to go. Connor tilted his head before looking at where (Y/n) is, she had no family in Detroit so she doesn't have anywhere or anyone else to go to.

     "Lieutenant," Connor started, "She has no where else to go. She can't go back to her previous home considering Caranza lives there as well and he's on house arrest. So, I presumed it would be best and safer for her to stay with us until she can find a place of her own. Once she does, we can check up on her every now and again to make sure she's alright." Connor said, "She won't be any trouble at all and she would be willing to do her part in the household. I'm sure Sumo will like her as well as her liking Sumo." Hank sighed heavily again as he thought over Connor's words, glancing up at the android who gave a slight head tilt with a puppy like expression on his face before he cussed softly.

     "Fucking shit, Connor. I hate it when you do that." He grumbled before heading over to their desks where (Y/n) sat. Connor smiled softly, knowing he had convinced Hank successfully before following after the detective. The two stop in their tracks when they see Detective Gavin Reed walking up to their desks as well where the young woman was. Him and the two detectives were still on rocky terms but the three have learned to put aside their differences since the end of the revolution since they were co workers. Because teamwork makes the dream work, as Connor remembers Hank sarcastically saying. "What's that asshole doing this time?" Hank grumbled with a slight sneer. (Y/n) sipped her hot chocolate softly while shyly looking around the station, watching as police men and women walked past her or talking to other civilians who had come in to file a report. The whole thing with Alex earlier that day had shaken her up and she winces each time she remembers how violent he was with her and Matthew.dr thoughts get cut off when she hears someone clear their throat and she looked up to see a man with short brown hair and leather jacket, his badge hanging around his neck as he had a smirk on his face.

     "Evening, ma'am." He greeted while looming over her as his hand leaned on Hank's desk, making her scoot back a tiny bit, "You look lonely sitting all by yourself here."

     "H-Hello..." She greeted in a soft voice, "I'm j-just waiting for Lieutenant Anderson a-and his partner, Connor..." Gavin scoffed in disbelief.

     "Well, I don't really suggest letting those two help you out. If you wanna maybe head over to my desk, I can help you out with anything you need." He said with a smirk and wink, making (Y/n) shift a bit uncomfortably under his gaze.

     "She's fine with us if you don't mind, Reed." Hank said with a frown and arms crossed as Gavin looked over at Hank and frowned before sneering a bit when looking at Connor, "I mean, she's our case after all."

     "I don't mean to be rude, Anderson, but I insist that I can take this case off your hands at this point and lighten the load for you two." He said while crossing his arms as well.

     "And we insist that we're perfectly fine with what we have and you should find your own case for now." Hank said as his frown deepened. Connor looked between the two and at (Y/n), who quietly sipped her drink as she felt uncomfortable being the center of attention.

     "Detective Reed, Lieutenant and I have this case handled and I suggest that you leave this to us. We're making Ms. (L/n) feel very uncomfortable." Connor said as Gavin glared at Connor and he scoffed.

     "Now , just because fucking androids have equal rights not doesn't mean I gotta listen to you, Bicentennial Man." Gavin snapped, making Hank clench his fists.

     "Then take it from me, Reed. We got this under control, now leave it alone. Last time I'm telling you this, kid." Hank said as he and Gavin had a short glaring contest before Gavin glanced over at Captain Fowler's office to see the Captain himself standing outside his office and watching the three with his arms crossed and stern look on his face. Gavin clicked his tongue and moved away from the three, choosing that it's best to avoid having a fight with Hank.

     "Fine." He said with a huff as he stalked off with soft grumbling under his breath while shoving shoulders with Connor, "Fucking plastic." He sneered while walking off, Connor is not phased by his small action and insult, he was used to it at this point. Hank sighed with a shake of his head before looking at (Y/n) apologetically.

     "Sorry about him, miss. We don't really see eye to eye." Hank said as she shook her head.

     "O-Oh no, don't be sorry, Lieutenant. I-I'm sorry that I'm such a hassle." (Y/n) said while looking down.

      "You're not a hassle." Hank said while waving her off, "Anyway, I talked to Connor and he uh convinced me to allow you to stay at my place for the time being." Hank said as she looked up at him with semi wide eyes.

     "R-Really?" She asked while standing up while Hank scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. 

     "Erm yeah, I just need to get the Captain's approval," He said while looking back at Fowler, "So you just sit tight for a sec and I'll see what I can do, miss." He said as he and Connor walk over to Fowler before the android feels someone grasp his arm and he looked back to see (Y/n).

     "Thanks, Connor... I-I appreciate you for convincing him..." She said softly with a faint pink hue dusting her cheeks. Connor looked as her before nodding.

     "It's not a problem, miss. I'm glad that I can help is all." He said as she nodded and let go of his arm to sit back down in the chair she had sat in previously. Connor looked at her and smiled softly to himself before catching up to Hank to the captain's office.
