@amabiliavit » “Gavin Reed, right? I believe we’ve met..”

And judging by the resigned intonation—Connor wasn’t exactly thrilled to share the news.

“I think he made himself perfectly clear—if the 𝙥𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙝 is anything to go by.”

[ᴄᴏɴɴᴏʀ —𝐑𝐊𝟖𝟎𝟎. @DeviantTracker]

@amabiliavit Having arrived to his point, synthetic exoskeleton retires against the chair, his posture, as always, impeccable. However, the sound of laughter guided sights back to Robin—had Connor said something particularly funny?

Curiosity was still trained on her when she continued. »

What the boy lacked in height he made up for in confidence—he’ll give him that much.

Two perfectly concocted killing machines, albeit one more 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙢𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙚, would yield interesting results.

Gavin read that—?
He’s going to glide over the fact incapacitating him a 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙 time seemed likely.

“If you’d read the DPD handbook 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡𝙮 then you’d be aware that engaging in physical combat of any kind still violates your contract.”

[—- 𝓡𝓮𝓮𝓭 @ArrogantCop]

“what are you going to do? Knock me out again? I could go to HR so fast, your robot head would combust. There’s no law against combat by mop.”

He read the HR handbook. Fighting with a mop isn’t against the rules.

[ᴄᴏɴɴᴏʀ —𝐑𝐊𝟖𝟎𝟎. @DeviantTracker]

One can practically taste the venom dripping from the shorter’s bite.
At least he’ll commend Gavin on 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙮.

“I advise against that—for your own well-being, Detective.”

[—- 𝓡𝓮𝓮𝓭 @ArrogantCop]

“Not relevant, huh? How about I make it relevant and start by shoving the handle up your ass.”

He threatens with a snarl, fingers tightening against the mop as he contemplates actually doing it.

[ᴄᴏɴɴᴏʀ —𝐑𝐊𝟖𝟎𝟎. @DeviantTracker]

Against ants, maybe—.

A single flicker toward the mop and he had its structure analyzed. The results are expectedly underwhelming.

“Considering I don’t plan on shutting down anytime soon.. I’d say your question isn’t exactly 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙩.”

[—- 𝓡𝓮𝓮𝓭 @ArrogantCop]

Because it’s a good fucking weapon choice. Fuck off.

@FxckingAndroids » outcome.
Readily supplied with the first definition of ‘𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙧’, DPD in mind—he spoke with stubborn conviction,

“I wouldn’t want to work with a partner that isn’t you, Hank.”

[ᴄᴏɴɴᴏʀ —𝐑𝐊𝟖𝟎𝟎. @DeviantTracker]

A beat. Contemplative.

“I didn’t.. mean just Sumo.”

As though he were realizing the extent of his answer himself in that waking moment. Sights skirted away in order to properly formulate a thought.

“I know I may not exactly count, as such, but.. »

[Hᴀɴᴋ Aɴᴅᴇʀsᴏɴ @FxckingAndroids]

“… He has you now, right? It’s not like he’ll care much..”

Sumo would forget about him. Like everyone else would.

“There ain’t a damn person in the world that would kiss me when I’m gone.”

[ᴄᴏɴɴᴏʀ —𝐑𝐊𝟖𝟎𝟎. @DeviantTracker]

@FxckingAndroids Brought back? You could practically see the nonexistent gears inside his head turning as understanding dawned.
A gentle clarification,

“What I mean to say is.. I likely wouldn’t have 𝙙𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 if not for your involvement.”

In fact, his calculations guaranteed the »

And a cleaning instrument was his first choice because—?
He wielded an air of nonchalance,

“Good evening to you too, Detective.”

[—- 𝓡𝓮𝓮𝓭 @ArrogantCop]

No. He’s just trying all and every weapon he can find to try to kill the android.

Starting with the mop he found in the janitors office.

“Ready to die, asshole?”

[ᴄᴏɴɴᴏʀ —𝐑𝐊𝟖𝟎𝟎. @DeviantTracker]

@0FHISVAL0R || Well if you did make Connor I have a Hank and a Nines that I’m this 👌 close to bringing to life so,,

I’m just saying,,,

@0FHISVAL0R || 👀

[ᴄᴏɴɴᴏʀ —𝐑𝐊𝟖𝟎𝟎. @DeviantTracker]

Oh.

Is that his weapon of choice on account of the gun not working last time?

[—- 𝓡𝓮𝓮𝓭 @ArrogantCop]

Comes after @DeviantTracker with a goddamn mop.

@FxckingAndroids » He finally settled on,

“If it hadn’t been for you, I wouldn’t be standing here.”

[ᴄᴏɴɴᴏʀ —𝐑𝐊𝟖𝟎𝟎. @DeviantTracker]

@FxckingAndroids » “And it isn’t only because I’m functionally unable to forget—I wouldn’t 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 to.”

He was grappling with the frustration of getting his point across.
There existed no prepackaged shiny code inside him that might offer oversight on how to compartmentalize feelings. »

[ᴄᴏɴɴᴏʀ —𝐑𝐊𝟖𝟎𝟎. @DeviantTracker]

@amabiliavit He’ll be right back—he’s loading this YouTube video up on how to administer vaccines—for entirely unrelated purposes.

Exactly 4:20. He’s punctual.

[ᴄᴏɴɴᴏʀ —𝐑𝐊𝟖𝟎𝟎. @DeviantTracker]

@amabiliavit ..Don’t worry about it—he’ll figure it out.

Perfect he’ll be there at 4:20 sharp.
Hank taught him that was the optimal time for appointments.

[ᴄᴏɴɴᴏʀ —𝐑𝐊𝟖𝟎𝟎. @DeviantTracker]

@amabiliavit .. Compromise: let him give her the rabies shot before she goes into work.

He doesn’t need to sleep so arriving early’s no issue.

[ᴄᴏɴɴᴏʀ —𝐑𝐊𝟖𝟎𝟎. @DeviantTracker]

@amabiliavit And he relates with that, trust him—.

But her life is still a priority here.
