"O-okay...I know how this seems b-"
"It 'seems' like you're turning yourself into a freaking supervillian! And that's not an exaggeration! That is the literal truth! Becks said your readings are false, a projection, have been since we met. He couldn't tell until now because it was too subtle- too realistic, too damn good but he analyzed it and he's positive that they're false. That they don't seem human. That's-"
Raphael shook his head, flashing his most disarming smile, chuckling softly, waving him off.
"Not even remotely true. It's just a harmless privacy shield." He smiled, glancing over at Becks, giving a little fluttery wave and apologetic shrug to the trembling little tridectopod.
"Apologies little one, didn't mean to scare you. I just don't like others being able to read me so I have a few false projections to mask my personal readings." He flashed yet another reassuring, overly charming smile, once more trying to wave the two off, glancing between them.
Becks shifted nervously, ocular sensor blinking, hesitantly shifting over him, sensor brightening before dimming, shifting back over to Simon, head shaking, growing even more agitated.
}Do not know...can't tell...readings are false...all false...can't tell...not real...not human...not safe!{
Raphael sighed, shaking his head.
"Becks, I'm safe-"
}Don't know...can't tell...readings false...all false...all artificial...not real...not reading human...{
"Becks, I'm human-"
}Don't know...false readings...All false...all artificial...not registering as human...{
"I'm human."
Simon quirked his eyebrow.
"Then prove it."
Raphael froze, blinking.
"Wha-"
Simon shrugged, waving towards him.
"Prove it. You said they're just shields. If they're shields than you can control them. Drop the shields and let him see your real readings."
Raphael shifted.
"I don't have to do t-"
Simon huffed, eyes widening.
"Raphael, you're lying."
He scoffed, shaking his head, holding his hands up placatingly.
"I'm not lying. I just don't like p-"
"I don't CARE if you don't like people being able to read your vitals! I don't care about you being private or whatever else! I am freaking the hell out here!
You have been lying to me this entire time- have been giving false information. Becks systems are not reading you as human. Becks is telling me you're not human and I trust him more than anyone. I trust his readings and I trust his judgment and I trust in the fact that he is freaking terrified of you right now. I don't care about your privacy or delicate sensibilities or any of that right now.
