Uzi walked through the long winding tunnels of her home as people ran from her. The reason is unclear to the worker but she just stares at her feet. Uzi guesses that It was because she befriended a disassembly drone, and with the wrong words or actions towards her she would send him to attack them, or something of that sort. Uzi sat at her seat at the back of the room and put her head on the desk.

She just wanted to be back with N, the person who actually understood her for herself. The teacher began rambling on and on about some unimportant lesson so she gave herself the class to zone out and daydream. When she snapped back the class had dismissed and everyone was getting packed up. She shoved everything into her bag and ran out of the door and to the three main doors of the bunker.

Uzi scanned her key card and the doors opened before her. She continued and went out into the cold, bitter, and snowy weather of copper-9. Uzi began running to the pod where she knew N would be. When Uzi got there she was exhausted and her legs where tired, but she walked into the dark area and sat on the chair. A bright yellow light startled Uzi as she looked to her right and saw Vs stinger.

Uzi looked away unamused. "What do you need V?" She asked and V sat in front of her. "Your looking for N aren't you?" V started the conversation off with. "And if I am?" Uzi asked and V shook her head. "He's out hunting, he'll be back soon," V explained and Uzi leaned back. She knew she couldn't stay here long because her father would come looking for her.

Uzi sighed, "I can't stay long, when he comes back tell him that I was here," she said while getting up and going to the door. "Alright," V said and pulled out her bubble wand hands. Uzi walked out and started going back to the bunker her hands in her hoodie pockets. She walked back into the bunker and went right to her house rooms. Uzi sat on the edge of her bed head in her hands.

She couldn't take this anymore! The bullying, the harassment, the expectations.. but she couldn't just leave N here. Uzi opened her messages through her visor and messaged N. Uzi then got up and went to her closet. N read over the note and looked confused, he knew there was something behind it but he couldn't put his finger on it.

N landed in front of the pod and walked in, "Hey V!" He called out and the female disassembly drone came out of the dark room and stood in front of him hand on her hip. "What do you want?" She asked and N looked over her, "What does it mean when your friend messages you with 'Thank you for everything' then doesn't respond again?" He asked and Vs eyes hollowed out. She knew something was off about the worker.

She immediately shook free of the shock and ran by him grabbing his hand on the way. She dragged him outside and opened her wings making him do the same. "V what's going on!?" N yelled over the sound of the fierce wind what was ripping at their clothes and their wings. "Uzis probably going to try and kill herself!" V yelled back at him.

Ns eyes hollowed out and they landed running up to the bunker. N gave V the key card that they had been trusted with and she used it to get in quickly. "Hey, hey what are you two doing here?" One of the workers asked and N ran passed him. "No time, we're trying to save someone," V said in a rush before joining him. The work looked like he was going to say something but decided against it as they ran away.

N had stopped for a second to gain directions on where Uzis house rooms where before he continued to run allowing V to catch up. N knocked frantically on the doorman's house rooms door and Khan opened the door. "What do you two need?" He asked and N couldn't sit still, his need to help and protect Uzi was getting the better of him.

V moved him aside so she could explain and so N could go help Uzi. N bolted down the hall way looking through every single one trying to find Uzis. V was telling Khan about the message and what she thought was going on. Khans eyes hollowed out at he began to worry and panic. N ran into Uzis room having found it and looked around.

With no sight of her he began looking through branch off rooms. The smell of oil alerted him to where the girl was and he opened the closet to see her laying in the ground, knife in her chest, and oil all around her. N dropped to his knees next to her with a loud thud and pulled her to him. He had to make sure she was okay.

V and Khan ran in and they took in the sight quickly. Khan broke down in digital tears while Vs eyes hollowed out. She helped N up and helped him take Uzi out to the living room. V jerked out the knife as N began to lick his hand and put his saliva all over the wound.

Hoping it wasn't to late they watched as the nanites closed the wound up and the rebooting symbol appear on her visor. The reboot finished but she didn't wake up. 'Extremely Low Oil' was read across her screen. V began to pace, neither of them knew where the workers oil supply was and probably wouldn't be trusted to know and Kahn who probably did know, couldn't help them.

N ran to the bed room leaving V alone with Uzi. V looked over the worker drone and she felt her heart hurt for N. Soon Khan ran past them followed by N who stopped at the end of the hallway and looked at Uzi and V. "How'd you do that?" V asked and N rubbed the back of his head, "Persuasion," he said simply.

It took Khan a few minutes to come back, and when he did he brought enough oil for Uzi. V took hold of it and helped the still knocked out girl drink the oil. Her systems soon did another reboot. N stood at her side with a worried look. Khan was trying not to cry again. Uzis visor showed a complete screen.

Welcome back, Uzi doorman

Everyone was confused about her species. She looked like a worker drone. They played it off as a mistake. Then Uzi sat up and rubbed her head before looking around at everyone. "What happened?" She question and V gave her a glare. "What do you mean 'What happened'? You tried to kill yourself!" V exclaimed digital tears in her eyes.

Uzi looked down and pulled her knees to her chest. "I'm sorry," she whispered and V looked at her in disbelief. "All you can say is sorry after that!?" V yelled and N tried to calm her down, "V, calm down.. she has a reason, right Uzi?" N asked giving a glance to his friend. Uzi gave a subtle nod before V finally calmed a bit.

N sat next to Uzi and pulled her to lay her head on his shoulder, "Now what made you do this or think of this?" N questioned and Uzi grabbed her hoodie sleeves around her arms there were around her legs. "People," she mumbled and N rubbed her side as it was what he could reach. "What do you mean?" N pressed and Uzi looked up at him. "They expect to much, they bully, they harass.. I can't take it anymore," Uzi said just loud enough for N and N only to hear.

N held her close, "Well people will do that, but you want to know what makes life worth living?" N asked and turned his body to face her. "Hm?" Uzi hummed and N smiled. "Good friends you can tell anything to!" He said and Uzi smiled as tears rose in her digital eyes. She looked around at Khan her father, V a sort of friend, and N, her crush. "Thank you N," Uzi whispered.

N smiled at her and she pounced on him in a tight hug. "I'll always have you back Uzi, no matter what you can count on me, your sweet, brave, smart, undefeatable, and a great worker, that's why I love you," N whispered to her and Uzi pressed her face into his chest as she began to sob. N held her tightly.

Uzi playfully hit him, "You stupid goof, your strong, helpful, sweet, caring, and just an overall great person, that's why I love you!" Uzi whisper yelled and N gave her a smile putting his face into her hair. N rubbed her back and pressed a secret kiss into her hair a soft I love you escaped his lips. Khan and V sighed of relief. They don't think this will ever happen again. Right?
