Deviant Hunter of New Detroit- A Detroit: Become Human Fanfiction

Chapter 2: Welcome To New Detroit

An android announced to the world that they were living beings and wanted rights. As wonderful as that would be, it meant Kara and Alice now had to be very careful.

"Stay away from the windows, and don't answer the door," Hank warned them. "Keep yourselves shut off tight. After today, the shit is going to hit the fan. People are burning their own androids," he warned them. "Now." He gestured to the door. "I'm Lieutenant Hank Anderson. Most likely no punk startup cop is going to come snooping inside my home. If they knock on that door, don't answer. Put yourselves on standby. If you hear a knock at that door, police or not, put yourselves on standby. I can give the excuse I'm working on you for some kind of homicide. They won't know shit. Got it?"

Kara and Alice listened. During the uprising, although peaceful, it had scared many people. They stayed away to make sure no one saw them, and went into standby like Hank instructed when knocks came to the door. Only once did Hank have to let them in and give his explanation. Him being a Lieutenant and a natural hunter of android on human crime sort of . . . got him through, but the fact they were bothering even lieutenants meant it was getting more serious.

Detroit was where androids were mainly manufactured. They were outsourced in other places, but Detroit was the main hub, so Hank took them to the outside of Detroit where inspection wouldn't be as thorough.

It was a simple hotel room, easy to get in with Hank's help. To her knowledge, Kara had never known about older looking androids, so going in as family seemed to make them easier to not get spotted. Still, Hank seemed nervous about it. He even brought his dog Sumo.

Watching the news when Alice wasn't looking, Kara could see why. Things were getting only nastier. Scarier.

Hank left for Detroit once more, but when he came back a second time, things had changed.

Forever.

It had been peaceful. Demonstrative all the way through. Even at the end, the androids had all sung together to show how peaceful they could be. Everything was going great. It looked like the androids would earn the right to become free. Like her and Alice would be free. Even the president had stood down, considering them, perhaps, intelligent life.

Then, something happened. Something Kara couldn't wrap her head around.

No one predicted it was coming. It made no sense that it would. But.

Hank never returned with them back to Detroit, after the dirty bomb was stolen and detonated.

Choosing between a new life with Hank outside of Detroit, or returning to it where things were changing drastically was a no brainer. Especially day after day, as she got to know the human. She learned where and when to put Alice, having discovered enough evidence around his old house to know he once had a child like Todd Williams. His child had died though, at such a young age. It had placed him in a terrible state in life where he didn't often enjoy it.

She stayed out of his affairs, as promised, and did her best to keep him in a normal mood. Especially since he had to put in a little extra work in a new force. His old record made it easy to get a job, as well as the tragedy of Detroit, but he needed to work a little harder to keep it. He had to care a little more.

Alice was kept in a room on standby when Hank started to drink after work. She seemed to trigger bad thoughts in him, reminding him of his own past at certain times. She kept the new rental sanitary, got along with Sumo, shopped for Hank which he didn't know he liked until he realized he could send her to 'the places with the annoying fuckers he couldn't stand'. She didn't pose as android, but as human. Hank wanted it that way he said for respect.

To pull the human look off better, she used real hair dye to influence the colors of her hair. AX 400 only came in four colors, so she chose a red to keep people from noticing her. She did the same for Alice. They often wrapped themselves up a little tighter still, but that would have to end soon. The warmer weather would be coming, and humans didn't dress that way.
