Zayn set his briefcase on his desk, sipped his hot espresso and looked at his tablet, analysing what they would do today.

They would put in his artificial heart, which would consist of a motor to make it work, and his brain, which would consist of programs linked to a machine Katy created for it.

What Zayn would do all day would be to test the artificial tears that Louis had told him to put in, to make it much more realistic, he would be in charge of making the last feeling program, the last emotions would be sadness and love, ready to be saved, archived and tested when it was turned on.

"Do you want something to eat?" Katy suggested, watching her friends nod. "I'll go and get some, I won't be long."

Liam and Louis started chatting as they went about their work, as long as they didn't get distracted, Zayn would be satisfied.

Three days passed and the four boys had finished their creation after three years.

Three years of effort, sweat and excitement to finish it.

Three years of tears and anger.

Three years of illusions so that in the end it would turn out the way they wanted it to.

It was Friday night when the three of them got Harry dressed; some pastel pink baggy trousers, a t-shirt that Zayn got with the "Daddy, but I love him" sticker from his wardrobe, some shoes that he had in his wardrobe as well, the underwear he took care of putting on, and he was ready to be turned on, the four of them were already excited for what was to come.

"Okay, first attempt at lighting, try one."Katy spoke, and Louis turned it on while Zayn and Liam looked at the robot in front of him.

A minute went by, and nothing happened, an hour went by, and there was no sign of power.

"Did you guys check to make sure it's charged?"

"I did it this morning." Liam said, checking the panels in front of him, looking at every detail until he found what was wrong.

"Zayn, check his heart, maybe he had a short circuit."

Zayn nodded quickly taking quick action, checking his own panels, wiggling his fingers, he quickly found the problem.

"Short circuit, near a nut. Let me get this, it's quick." he commented.

They went through the process quickly, perhaps in less than an hour.

"Second try, try two." Said Katy, and Louis tried again.

It only took a few minutes for the capsule Harry was in to start glowing brightly, making screeching sounds.

Zayn, Liam, Louis and Katy were stunned at the sight in front of them, stepping back in case of emergency.

What would be an hour was only minutes when the machine shut down, a quiet sound coming through.

A minute later the pod was opened, Zayn was the first to take a step, mesmerised by what was happening, though Liam had to stop him for his sanity.

Zayn flinched as he heard two footsteps approaching them, two green circles lighting up the place.

And Zayn stopped breathing.

"Zayn..."

He was back.
