*Prof. Red*

  "Assistant!" I shout, ignoring the mess, taking my coat off, tossing it aside. It'll need to be burned, has demon blood all over it.

Wiping my face I hear my creation s̶o̶n̶ rush over.

"Professor, what did you do this time?" Assistant questions. Eyes flicking over the lava-like blood dripping down my face.

"This time I wasn't the one who started it." I answer, Soul started it. He tried sneaking up on me and he underestimated me, "Anyways! I need to do some things, come along."

He follows, not questioning me.

"Sit," I point at the lab table. He rolls over to it and sits, watching as I grab some cloth to try and wipe off the blood, "I need to put some information into you. As well as some upgrades."

"Did something happen?" He questions.

Looking up at him, I sigh, "Those things are back, and I want to... Nevermind, Assistant please lay down."

He lays down, and I walk over. Grabbing some of my devices on my way to his side. Removing his arms, I can see his confusion.

To think his prototype was just to use as a weapon, a device to fight against any evil forces or a weapon used for protection.

And here I am getting attached.

Oh, who am I kidding, I grew attached to him when he wasn't even fully made. When he had no sentience.

Slowly but surely I've be adding more and more sentience. But I make sure to do it in small bouts, I don't want to overwhelm him.

I don't know if it truly is fully possible to make a machine a full blown person.

"Professor?" His voice makes me jump, before I collect my cool.

"Ah, sorry I got carried away with my thoughts." I answered.

"Are you having one of your episodes?" He proceeded to scan me, and I let him, "All health measures have been reached, there seems to be nothing wrong."

"Indeed, I truly just got lost in thought." I waved his concern off, "Now stay down, I need to work. I have upgrades that I really wish to add."

He goes silent and stay still.

"You may power off." I tell him placing a hand gently on his head. Feeling the cold metal against the abnormal warmth of myself, it gives a slightly soothing feeling.

My flame is pushed down with the cold.

"Assistant power on." I pull away, dipping the paint brush back into the paint. He sits up and whirrs to life. He looks over at me before completely looking at the paint.

"What's that about." He points at the can.

  He stops and looks at his hand, "Is this upgrade you wanted to give me?"

"Both arms still have the properties and mechanisms of the old arms, and some new ones mixed in, but we'll test those later." I grab a hand mirror, "I also gave you a little bit of a new look, okay that's an understatement, I gave you a big upgrade."

I hand the mirror to and he takes it. He stares at the reflection, "My hair is red, and I look more like a Red Steve. Why?"

" Because you're my son." I answer, I should've said that long ago.
