~3rd Person POV~

Simon, Josh, and North were currently walking in the streets of Detroit. The trio took to the streets in hopes to find lost or abused androids who needed safety from humanity. With only being able to help a handful of their people within a couple of hours, the three sat on a bench and watched as humans and machines passed them. No one questioned as to why the three androids had no masters and why they wandered the streets.

"Y'know, Josh and I told you our stories. What's yours, Simon?" North suddenly asked. The female android only wished to end the silence between them.

Simon stared into the sky as he reclined back on the bench. "I don't want to talk about it."

"How bad is it?" Josh questioned.

"It's... painful to talk about."

"Was the human that owned you horrible?" North ponders.

Simon shook his head. "She was far from horrible. She's the reason why I've been able to feel emotions."

"Then, what's so bad about it?" Josh peered around North to look at the blonde android.

"(Y/n) was taken to the hospital after an accident at work. She stayed in the hospital for two months and I only learned of her death from the neighbors."

"Something doesn't add up," North comments.

Simon glanced at her. "What do you mean?"

"If she died in the hospital, you would've been notified before anyone else and taken back to CyberLife. Maybe we should look into this."

"Why would they lie? They've got nothing to gain from it."

North fell silent before asking about Simon's relationship with (Y/n)'s neighbors. The android mentioned how they hated his kind and wished for (Y/n) to get rid of him, but she refused to let Simon go. With those words, North was able to solve the puzzle. "Let's go see if they did lie to you."

"What're you talking about?" Simon asked with an arched brow.

Instead of answering, North replied with a question of her own. "Where does she live?"

"The Lake Gardens complex on Haven Avenue. Her apartment number is three-twelve."

"Let's go check it out," Josh said, wishing to see this mystery solved. North pulled Simon off the bench and the trio headed to Haven Avenue.

As they arrived in front of the complex, Simon refused to move. "We can't do this!"

"We can and we will," North declares. "I can tell how much you love her! We're finding out the truth."

"Why do my feelings matter? An android and human can't be together!"

"There's no law that states humans and androids can't love each other. Also, you deserve to know the truth, Simon. She could be alive and missing you," Josh said.

Simon looked up to the third floor and at the familiar window he remembered staring out for hours to see if (Y/n) was returning from hospital. He had mixed feelings about this, but if (Y/n) was alive, a weight would be lifted from his chest. "Let's go."

It had been almost a year since Simon had left this apartment complex. He stuck his hand into his pocket and pulled out the key (Y/n) had given him the moment she had brought him home. With questioning gazes directed towards them, the androids took the elevator to the third floor.
