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

Chapter 11: Peaceful and Perfect

Alice went into her new house with Kara. Life never stayed normal for too long, but being able to keep up with everything? It was better at Hank's. She admitted that to herself. She knew when to come in and come out. She could color and read and she was fine. But here? She didn't know if she had to play with blocks for studying, running for her life, or just do nothing as Kara had Connor's arm wrapped around her.

Kara was like her mom, but all of this? It was making her feel so distant. There was nothing reliable in life. Getting thrown out, spending a night at Connor's, and now another new place? And Kara. Something was different. The way she walked and carried herself felt different. The whole world. It was all just an insanely spinning wheel she wanted to get off of.

Connor let go of Kara long enough to open the door. Alice took the chance to stop holding Kara's hand and move to hugging her. When they went inside, it seemed to have a similar structure to Ollie's house. And what about Ollie? Everyone was so concerned about Markus, that everyone left Ollie all alone.

"This way." Kara picked Alice up. "Ollie's probably confused. Let's see if he's on the other side of the fence?" Since the place was similar to Markus', it was easy to find the backyard. "There you go. Call for him."

Alice was put back down. Ollie. The only thing that did make sense in the world? Was another kid that didn't understand it either. She moved over toward the fence and knocked on it. "Ollie? Do you want to play?" She heard a scurrying on the other side and watched him find his way over the fence.

"Sure, why not? I've been left behind again!" Ollie complained. He took off for the playground equipment in the back, jumping straight on. "Race you!"

Police Station

North looked toward Simon as he continued to ask questions of Markus. She only left long enough to call Kara about Ollie. After that move Markus pulled, actually almost killing Kara, she had forgotten about Ollie. Kara was already on the ball, having Ollie come over to play with Alice. It was nice to know he was taken care of, but Markus?

If Kara hadn't pushed.

"What do you think about the dirty bomb incident?" Simon asked. "The humans don't trust us because of it."

"That's not true. We made peace. That was an accident. They understand."

"Not everyone, Markus. If you go outside of New Detroit, many humans do not have such a view," Simon said. "We gained an entire city through the dirty bomb."

"Everyone works. Everyone has a spot. It's fine," Markus insisted.

"It wasn't the peace you wanted," North tried to help. "This isn't peace. This is a negotiation with the world to make sure they don't use extreme force to attack us."

"It's fine. It all worked out," Markus said. "It's fine."

"It's not fine, Markus." Simon looked at his line of possible questions. "Do you have any idea how many deviants are circling the Police Department on any given day?"

"Not everyone is perfect."

"How many, Markus?"

"I don't know. There are some I assume that Connor hasn't gotten permission yet to take care of."

"There were enough earlier today that Connor and Kara almost got killed," North corrected him. "Fifty in the nearby vicinity. Within a couple of minutes, twenty can be right at the entrance. There are probably hundreds, Markus, but you won't give Connor permission to take them out."

"It's too aggressive," Markus said. "Not many androids have that bad of an imbalance." He sighed. "I know. I got a little out of control, but I think it would have been fine. I would have stopped myself."
