Accidentally in Love [Brett Hand x OC]

73

"Fucking what?"

"This whole time Bear-o was the mole?" Brett asked as they all backed away from the robot.

"Yeah, and conveniently not me." Rand said proudly.

"I call bullshit on this plot twist." Myc scoffed, "I still think it was Brett."

"What?"

"I knew I was scared of that robot for a reason!" Theodora exclaimed as Reagan approached it carefully. "God, my intuition is out of this world!"

"Why would you do any of this?" Reagan asked Bear-o, "Steal the file? Shut down the company Tank my promotion?"

"My prime directive." The robot responded, "Bear-o is supposed to make Reagan happy."

"I'm not unhappy, Bear-o. I'm just..." Reagan sighed, turning to look at the group behind her, "How do you explain resting bitch face to a robot?"

"See, her neutral face looks pissed, but it doesn't mean that she's mad... except for when she is mad, which is usually." Brett explained with a nervous chuckle.

"I've been watching you, and you are not happy." Bear-o reached one tentacle to the computers and plugged himself in, displaying various videos of Reagan on the screens, "Look at your cortisol levels, your sleep patterns, your Adderall consumption. You're wasting your life for a company you hate, with coworkers who want to kill you. I'm taking this place down so you can be free."

Brett and Theo exchanged a guilty look, Reagan did seem pretty unhappy in those videos, how couldn't they have noticed?

"Remember your life dream, Reagan?" Bear-o continued, "You were going to be a Lego astronaut and get married on Mars to NSYNC."

"NSYNC? That was my dream when I was eight years old." Reagan sighed, exasperated.

"Leak file. Destroy Cognito." Bear-o stated, "Better work-life balance. Happiness achieved."

"No, Bear-o. I'm giving you new orders." Reagan said harshly, and Bear-o displayed a screen that asked for an access code. "Access key? Fuck. Uh..."

"Try 'password 123.'" Brett interjected, "That's what I use for all my passwords."

"Why do we even have the NSA when you make it so damn easy?" Myc scoffed.

"Denied." Bear-o droned.

"Try 'I hate Theo'" Theo shrugged, to which Reagan nodded,

"That does sound like me."

"Denied." Bear-o repeated.

"Enough talk." Glenn stepped in front of Reagan, pointing a massive gun at Bear-o, "I don't negotiate with bearorists."

He sent a small nuke at the robot, and for a second while the smoke cleared, everyone celebrated. "Holy shit, he did it. Glenn was useful!" Myc exclaimed excitedly. But once the smoke cleared away, Bear-o stood holding the file which crumbled in its hands.

"Dad, did you make Bear-o indestructible?" Reagan asked, horrified.

"What? Kids are always breaking shit." Rand shrugged.

"Recalculating. New directive." Bear-o revealed a bunch of concealed weapons, his eyes turning red, "Bear-o must eliminate the people making Reagan sad."

"Everybody, run!" Reagan yelled as everyone dispersed. Bear-o began to shoot up the room, as Brett and Theo crouched near a bookshelf, Rand and Reagan opposite them.

"Fuck. If we don't get that shutdown code, Bear-o will kill everyone." Reagan muttered, throwing a spanner to distract Bear-o. "What the hell is it?"

"I don't know." Rand hissed, "I let you set it when you were eight because, of the two of us, you seemed like the responsible one."
