Connor: Part 1

135

The next day, everyone but Ai was in the kitchen, eating breakfast as Connor looked down, earning MIya's attention. "You okay Connor? You look worried about something." Said MIya. Connor remains silent for a moment before speaking. "The nanobot in my heart...is set to SDM...self destruct mode." Said Connor. No one spoke, only looking at Connor in confusion but also worry. "What?" Asked Yoko. Connor looked at her before speaking. "Big bro...he set the nanobot in my heart into self destruct mode...meaning it'll explode...and kill me." Said Connor. They remain silent, listening to Connor as they look at him, terrified. "But...but why...big bro did bad things but why is he after you?!" Asked Aya. "Cause I'm the one who exposed him...I'm the one who knew what he does and expose it...he is after me for it." Said Connor.

There was a moment of silence before Seth spoke. "So,,,what are you going to do?" Asked Seth. "I was able to track the location where the self destruct mode was set off from...if I go there, I can find who did it and stop him." Said Connor. "And...how long do you have?" Asked Yoko. "According to what I found when hacking my nanobot...at least 3 days." Said Connor. They remains silent for a few moments before Aya spoke. "When are we going?" Asked Aya. Connor glances to her, "Don't give me that...you aren't doing this alone, so I'm coming with, rather you like it or not." Said Aya. Connor looked at her before sighing.

"Yes ma'am..." Said Connor. "Good boy." Said Aya. Connor then stood up. "Anyone else coming?" Asked Connor. There was a moment of silence before Maya, MIya and Yoko raise their hand. Connor then turns to Amano and Seth. "Your going to stay home?" Asked Connor. They nod. "We want to help but..." Amano mutters but Connor shook his head. "No, I get it...its scary and dangerous...which is why I would prefer if you all didn't come...but I don't got the say in the matter when it comes to you girls." Said Connor. "Damn right." Said Aya.

"Seeing as you all want to come...there is something I need to give you just in case." Said Connor. They walk out of the room, getting to Connor's room and Connor took out something he made recently. "What is that?" Asked Yoko. Connor reveals several masks and sleeveless shirts. "These are shirts and masks that are made out of a material that weaken the speed of bullets or stops them, making the bullets not go deep into your body, making your chances of survival against being shot higher when it comes to the head and torso...so if your coming, at least wear these under your clothes and carry the mask in your pocket to put on the moment people with guns attack." Said Connor.

"What about you?" Asked Yoko. "I got a metal skull, so they can't get in." Said Connor. "Huh, no wonder your skull is hard." Said Aya. The girls then take off their shirts, putting the sleeveless shirt on and their normal shirts over, also outting the mask in their pocket. "Alright...got to do one last thing before we go...I'll meet you outside, be sure to grab a bag with clothes...it'll take a day or so to arrive since your coming with." Said Connor. "Huh? You saying it like you can get there faster by yourself." Said Maya. "Yep, i could, but you wanted to go so your stuck with me and we're stuck taking a slower way...we should have enough time to get there though." Said Connor. The girls were about to leave, when they saw Ai by the door. "Ai? What's up?" Asked Connor. "I want to help." Said Ai. Connor looked at her.

"Ai, it'll be dangerous." Said Connor. "I know...but I caused trouble for you and others...I just want to help." Said Ai. Connor looked at her before speaking. "Alright...but you should have one of these too just in case." Said Connor, tossing one of the spares he made just in case. "Thanks...I'll meet you outside." Said Ai, walking to her room to change. "We'll be outside." Said Aya. Connor nods and they left the room, allowing Connor to do what he needed to do. Once he got what he needed, they met up outside the house, everyone but Ai carrying bags. "Let's go." Said Connor. They walk their way to the town, where they hopped on a bus and got a ride as far as the bus could take them, before looking for another. As they ride on the bus or any other transportation they can, Connor kept his guard up while the girls talk, ate or slept.
