Titan King

Chapter 27

The two had investigated the village while 2B focused on getting information. Pickle found out there were young machines, children. They seemed to be very excited to meet him so he decided to entertain them a bit. 2B found him playing with young machines allowing them to climb over his shoulders and carrying them around. 

(MC:- Machine Child)

MC1: Do you have to go?

MC2: Can't we play a little longer?

The group of children were made of ten of them. Each voicing their thoughts on his departure. Pickle hummed as he took a knee.

Pickle: I have to. I got a job to complete. Well, how about this when we come back and trust me we will. All of us will go to that amusement park that you all wanted to go to for so long, hmm?

MC3: You promise?

Pickle smiled at the decade of children.

Pickle: I promise.

They cheered in joy.

Pickle waved at the children who were jumping in joy some even shouting for him to come quickly. 

Pickle: Thanks.

Pickle spoke up just as the village was out of sight for the duo. 

2B: For what?

Pickle: For being patient. 

2B said nothing as they continued their walk. 2B was quiet as he accepted his answer. While the silence between them was not uncomfortable to the android it was weird. After the last few days all those emotions, all that...excitement, comfort. It was weird for her to walk again, sure she had no problem in doing so. It just felt awkward maybe it was due to how comfortable she had felt in his arm.

Soon the two of them reached the amusement park where the Pod caught the signal coming from. 

Pickle: Pod show the satellite map.

The Pod executed the order with the smoothness of the machine it was. A large hologram map appeared in front of them. Pickle hummed at the situation. Two signals were coming from opposite ends of the park.

2B: This is likely a trap.

Pickle: Possibly. We split up.

2B: It's dangerous. I already said it could be a trap and potentially be fatal.

Pickle: We can cover more ground. Think about it we take down one then the other might jump in with an army of different types of machines reducing our chances of winning. 

2B was quiet for a minute. She may be an android who is slowly gaining and feeling different types of emotions, but she still is an android. Each and every android is a supercomputer that can make hundreds of thousands of calculations in less than a minute. 

2B: I just don't want you to get hurt. 

Pickle blinked as he heard her reasoning. 2B was looking away from him. Her body language told him that her sentence was as genuine as any other living being would say it. 

2B felt a very familiar hand cup her face. The hold was strong yet gentle as it made her look at him. His helmet pulled back and his armed finger pulled off her blindfold. Bright blue eyes met an obsidian jewel that seemed to have a hint of bright green that 2B never noticed till now. 

Pickle: Dear. Don't worry about me. I will be fine Do you know why?

2B only looked at him waiting for an answer that she even with all these emotions and her supercomputer-like calculation could never come up with.
