Chapter 4

{[⏺️] Give the deviants away}

Something inside me that welled up emotions froze and shriveled a little. Ifelt my own gaze turn sharp and I glared at the two deviants.

"There's two up here!" I called to Hank and Connor. The deviants gasped and tried to get up.

I rushed at them and harshly grabbed them, pulling them with me down one of the holes in the ceiling. Connor and Hank rushed over and helped by trying to grab the deviants. One was a outdated male model and the other was a RK series model, merely only a prototype. The prototype had two different colored eyes and the outdated one seemed to be frightened. They pushed Connor and Hank away and took off running. I sprinted after them quickly, running statistics and probabilities on if I would catch them or if something were to inturrupt the chase. Suddenly Hank was at my side, running with me as we chased the two deviants. They split off and I chased after the outdated one. It ran through the roof doors of one of the buildings and slammed it behind them. I kicked the door in, thirium pumping harshly within me as I didn't realize how strong my kicks could be.

I rushed down the stares and saw the horrified expression on the frightened deviant. I kept my face blank and heard shouting and panting from above. I looked back and saw Connor by the doorway, hunched over and shouting for me to wait. I didnt listen and kept going after the deviant, starting to jump over railings and gaining speed on the android.

I suddenly landed on it and caused it to fly down the flight of stairs, taking me with it. I yelped, my arms and sides becoming slightly damaged. I heard Connor shout for me and I gripped onto the deviant, curling around it and protecting it for some reason.

I need it alive to get information. I told myself, not fully believing it but it was enough for me to keep what I was doing until we reached a platform. I panted and gasped as my arms and sides were damaged even worse now. The deviant looked at me in shock, its LED burning red as it got up. I groaned softly in pain and laid there, trying to recover a bit as my senses were becoming overwhelmed with scents and pain from the fall. I regret getting that stupid update that let's me feel things.

"(Y/n)! Are you okay?" Connor called, his wuick steps echoing as he rushed down to the platform.

"I'm sorry." The deviant apologized and rushed off once more.

I panted and started to use my arms to lift myself up, but fell down as my arms bursted in pains and my systems were starting to overheat. I waited for Connor, knowing I would have to go visit Chloe again for some repairs. Soon I heard a gasp as my chest heaved with every pant I released. I heard rushed steps and someone fall next to me, I glanced back and saw Connor on his knees and panting softly.

"What happened? You're damaged." Connor helped grab my shoulders gently and lifted me up. "Damn, the metal is all busted." He took a look at the shape of my arms based on my sleeves.

"I'll be fine. Dammit, the deviant got away. I'm sorry Connor." I apologized, guilt building up in my non-existent gut as I sighed. Connor sighed and picked me up, holding me against him to prevent me from falling out of his arms. I didn't do anything to stop him. "My legs weren't damaged, only my arms and sides." I sighed.

"The deviant isn't important, let's get you back to Cyberlife so you can be repaired." Connor began carrying me out the door for the floor we were on.

I felt like telling him to put me down but stayed silent instead. We made it to tye ground and we're met with Hank, also empty handed. He looked guilty as well.

"The deviant got away, it's like he just vanished." Hank seemed troubled, his LED spinning red. I sighed and moved to look at my arms, showing the bashed in shape to Hank. He looked at my arms in confusion. "How did that happen?"

"She faced a tough battle with a deviant and 12 flights of stairs. Of course, she didn't fight the stairs until the twelfth one." Connor tried to lighten the mood, pressing me closer to him. I smiled softly and pressed my Head against his chest while pressing my arms close to myself.

"I need to go see Chloe Kamski." I told Connor, causing him to drop me. I yelped in pain and whined as I rolled on the ground a little. "Ow, what the fuck?! I'm pretty sure I can't walk anymore."

"We aren't visiting Kamski, she's fucked up." Connor glared at me and caused me to frown.

"She was never mean to me, she comforted me in some of my hard moments and I helped her take her mind off her past." I told him, unable to get up. I just laid there on the ground in pain. "I can't go to cyberfuck, only Chloe knows how to fix me."

"Cyberfuck?" Hank looked at me in confusion. I nodded.

"I'm not a big fan of them." I told Hank as Connor snickered. "Please, I need to see Chloe if you want me to be fixed up and working with you." I sighed as my tan colored sleeves were starting to stain blue from my thirium.

"Shit, guess we don't have a choice." Connor sighed and seemed hesitant as he picked me back up and we headed to the car. Chloe lived in a mansion about fourty minutes away from here.

We started to head over, pain and soreness remaining in my arms as I wanted to kill myself to end my suffering. Hank and Connor were sitting in the front seats, leaving me room to lay in the back. I groaned softly and tried to keep my arms on myself.

"You okay back there?" Connor called, hearing my groan.

"Yeah, just trying to prevent thirium from leaking onto the interior back here." I told him, my voice strained.

After laying in the back for an hour and a half, the car came to a sudden hault and we moved slowly. I sat up the best I could and saw we we're parking in front of Chloe's mansion. Hank and Connor helped me up and we headed to the front door, Connor's arm around my waist to help me stand since my left leg had actually been injured during my tumble and cause me to limp. Hank hesitantly rang the doorbell, an Eli android opened the door. Chloe wanted to keep it simple when owning this model of android and just named all of hers Elijah, but I call them Eli for short.

"Hey, we need to see Chloe right away." Connor told the Android as its gaze moved to me and he noticed my damaged body, quickly nodding.

"Please, come in quickly." It said, moving asside so the other two could bring me in. I felt pain rack my body as one of my sides was touched.

I let out a soft cry of pain, whimpering as the wound was like a gash. Connor noticed and tried to ease his hold and checked my position in the chair I was set in. After waiting another ten minutes, Chloe came rushing into the room and over to me. She stayed silent as she pushed up my sleeves and saw the damaged components, my synthetic skin was unable to form over them due to how badely they were busted open.

"(Y/n), how did this happen? You ran away for three months and suddenly show up with busted arms and sides?" Chloe seemed both mad and worried as she spoke in a slightly harsh tone, causing me to flinch.

"Wait, she ran away?" Connor looked at me in suspicion as Hank's LED lit up red.
