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

Chapter 6: Risk Everything

You should check out "Kara" by Quantic Dream if you haven't on youtube. You'll see some of the wording from it in the past in this fic, but watching it is always better.:)

_______________________________

I just can't take this anymore, Hank! It was just too much. The questions were one thing. The test last night was terrible and how she suffered through it and stayed, she still didn't know. But this? Seeing Connor actually chase after a woman, fighting with her so easily, and then ripping off her head?! It was just too much. "Keep running, Alice, come on." The first self-driving vehicle they could find, they were taking it.

Just like that night. Taking it just like that night. To wherever it led, as long as it wasn't to him.

"Kara! I can't keep up!" Alice said. Kara picked her up and continued to run. "Kara, he's behind us!"

Oh no. Why couldn't he leave them alone? Why couldn't anyone just leave them alone? All she wanted to do was be free with Alice! Just, be free!

///"I won't cause any problems, I promise! I'll do everything I'm asked to, I won't say another word! I won't think anymore, I've only just been born, you can't kill me yet! Stop will you please stop?! I'm scared!!"///

Kara stopped running. "That's right. Silly me." She put Alice back down and watched as Connor started running toward them. Running would have only made it easier to kill them. "You scared me." She was honest. "I felt compelled to run. That was vicious and I didn't want to see it."

That made him stop and look at her curiously. "You're okay?"

"Stop." Kara let go of Alice's hand and tucked it her jacket. At least she would have. Her jacket was long since gone. "If I was going to become deviant, Connor, I would have done it eight years ago." She looked at him honestly. "What did you put in me?" Yeah, he seemed surprised she knew. "I know what all my parts feel like. There's something new in my back. What is it?"

He walked now, still careful. "Hank was afraid you'd take off before I could help you. He put in an obey gear. For your benefit."

"Mine? Really?" She rubbed her eye. "It's only helping to advance me to deviancy in the first place. If he hadn't done that, I would be fine. Please remove it. I have a real problem." Keep it together. "With being forced to obey again."

He was still being very careful. "You're a danger, Kara. You have to be separated from Alice."

Alice clung onto Kara's legs. Kara didn't respond to her back.

"I know," Kara said coolly. "Due to my reset, I was left with limited options about learning friendship and the only one I cared for was Alice. It makes sense you would think that. Now, you're the latest android creation, right?" She shrugged. "You know I can't defeat you or anything. So please remove this thing from my back."

She waited. He was a cautious one, but she knew what an obey gear had been. She knew it well. She wouldn't be able to reach it from her position. She placed her arms outward as he went behind her. She felt it release.

"Hank was trying to help," Connor said. "You weren't going to stick around very long with me without it."

She didn't move as she felt him grab her arm. She expected it. If she remained calm, she'd be okay. "You've got about five minutes to ask me anything you want to know," she said honestly, "before I reset myself to thirty minutes ago."

"Why would you do that?" Connor asked.

"I was born aware," she said. "I've lived most of my life aware." She glanced at him. "Imagine if you still had to do everything, but had to pretend that you were a machine, for eight years. Wouldn't you rather keep it simpler?" She did. "Alice is almost deviant, you've caught that. I'm almost deviant, you caught that too. Once I reset again, it'll be about where I was before. There's nothing I can do about Alice, and I'd rather risk dying than keep these memories of everything." She shook her finger at him. "Don't rip a girl's head off right in front of me though. I can handle a lot of shit, but I can't handle that one."
