He's Different- Detroit: Become Human; Connor

On the Edge

I woke up the next morning and rolled over to my alarm clock. 6:30AM. Welp, no going back to sleep now. Might as well get up. I hopped in the shower and played a little music. I wrapped a towel around myself and walked to my closet. Damnit! Forgot to put my laundry away. I walked out of my room and towards the dryer. "Good morning Maria." Connor spoke. "Ah!!" I screamed and fell. He tilted his head at me. "Why are you in a towel?" He asked. "I took a shower.... Connor... did you sleep at all?" I asked. "Androids don't sleep" he answered. "You don't a temporary sleep mode or anything?" He blinked a few times in confusion and tilted his head. "Nevermind, just help me up" Connor reached out his hand. Once I stood I noticed him scanning me up and down. "Ah!" I forgot I was still in a towel. I grabbed my clothes and ran back into my room. I changed and walked back out seeing Connor had made pancakes. "Connor. Wow. You didn't have too" I said. "Lieutenant Anderson said you like chocolate chip pancakes, he said he always made them for you" he said placing the plate on the table, his LED flashed yellow. I sat down and began to eat. "These are amazing!" I said mouth full of pancakes. "I'm glad you like them." He smiled.

God, his smile was adorable. I put my plate in the sink and wiped my mouth with a napkin. "I also fed Bear for you this morning. Is there anything else you'd like me to do before we leave?" He asked sincere. I smiled at him. "Connor, you're very sweet." I planted a quick kiss on his cheek. His LED flashed yellow and red and quickly back to blue, his eyes also widened. I motioned him to follow me out to the car. We drove to the station and clocked in. Then Gavin decided to bless us with his presence. -_-
"Good morning Maria. Looking good" he said smiling creepily. "Reed" I replied. "Oh come on don't be like that. You could be a little nicer considering you stood me up this morning" he said leaning back with his arms crossed. "Shit. I forgot about that. I'm sooo sorry" I responded sarcastically. "What could you have been doing that could possibly be more important?" He snarled. "Connor made me breakfast" I said rubbing his shoulder. "So my competition is plastic over here?" He sneered. "You don't have any competition. There is no competition at all and if there was you wouldn't be in the line up of contestants" I smiled. He spit at Connors feet and walked away. As we walked to our desks Connor started up with his personal questions. "Why and where were you planning to meet detective Reed this morning?"
"Why do you care, jealous or something?" I chuckled. He stopped and gave me a serious look. "Oh you're serious" I said. "It's not important" I shook my head. His head tilted, his LED went red. "Don't worry Connor, if you're for some reason actually jealous don't be, I'd never get with Reed. I was just planning on meeting him for coffee, to get him off my ass" I explained. "Off...your ass?" Connor questioned. "Forget it" we kept walking. For once Hank was here before us. "Come on you two. We've got a complaint of a strange noice" Hank said. And we headed off.
"Connor!" Hank snapped and Connor opened his eyes. "You asleep or something?"
"No. I was making a report to CyberLife"
"You planning on staying on the elevator?"
"No. I'm coming"
Me and Hank laughed to each other and Connor followed behind. After Connor knocked several times we heard a fall. Me and Hank pulled our guns while Connor stood behind us. The place was full on pigeons but no one was there. We holstered our guns and explored. rA9 on the walls. No food in the fridge. Encrypted diary. "I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say deviant" I sarcastically stated. Connor was examining the room as I walked out of the bathroom. I saw a hole in the ceiling and wasn't paying attention where I was walking and tripped over the bird cage. Connor caught me before I fell. "Thank you Connor" I said wiping the dirt off my pants. He nodded and smiled. Just then the deviant jumped down and fell on Hank. Me and Connor running after him. Connor was much faster and I soon fell behind. Once I caught up I saw Hank dangling from the roof and the deviant running away. I ran to save Hank but I wasn't strong enough to pull him up. Connor ran and dove for me and Hank. Allowing the deviant to get away. Once we pulled Hank up Connor began making sure he was okay. I chased after the deviant. I ran him to the edge. "Please..... don't turn me in" he pleaded. I started to pull my gun and just then the deviant pulled on gun on me, and I whipped my hands up. "Woah now.... calm down" Connor ran over. Gun pulled. We were trapped. Connor had a gun on Rupert. Rupert, gun to me, and me sitting there helpless with my hands in the air. Connor got a report from CyberLife distracting him just long enough for Rupert to grab me and hold me hostage, gun pointed at my head.

Connors POV
Maria was pulling Hank up but it was obvious she wasn't going to manage without help, but the deviant was running away.
43% chance of survival. I dove at them.
Software instability ^
As I analyzed Hank Maria ran at the deviant "Maria stop!" Me and Hank called out. Maria didn't listen. When I ran over Rupert had a gun to Maria and Maria had her hands up. My gun now drawn on Rupert.
65% chance of success.
What was the success? Capturing the deviant? Or saving Maria?
Just then Amanda sent Connor a message. Reminding me the mission was the only thing that mattered. When I was able to concentrate again Rupert had Maria hostage with a gun to Marias head.
"What's it gonna be, huh?" Rupert intimidated.
"You have two options. Let me go, don't turn me in and I let your little girly go free" he started. "Second, you arrest me and I put a bullet in her head" He spit as he talked. His LED a solid red. Connor knew what he had to do. Connor dropped his gun and raised his hands. "I'm unarmed. Let her go and you can go freely" Connor promised.
Software instability ^
"How do I know you're telling me the truth?" He spat. "Scan me" Connor insisted. He thought for a moment and let his grip go. He dropped his weapon and ran away. "Connor.... you let him get away" Maria said still in shock laying on the ground. "Your heart rate is up 37%. Let me help you to the car" Connor insisted. "I can walk thank you Connor" he started before I picked her up anyways. As we walked Hank joined us. "You saved us Connor, instead of focusing on the mission...." he stopped. Connor looked at him.
"Connor.... nevermind"
He walked ahead of us to the car.
"He was going to say thank you" Maria whispered to Connor. I set her in the car and we drove off.
