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

Chapter 13: Exit

Simon. Josh. Connor.

"North isn't here," Simon noticed.

"Her first instinct is going to be to protect her child, as well as keep herself from experiencing her worst fears," Connor said. "We all know that however this conversation precedes, there will be negative connotation in it."

"Let's just get through it. Find out what we can do, and then proceed to find any positives to move forward," Josh said.

Connor nodded, noticing Josh had calmed down. Apparently he had made a choice on who he wanted, making that weakness disappear. Indecision? He'd never seen that weakness before. "Slept well?" He asked Josh.

"Yeah, actually, did fine," Josh said. "You?"

"Although I am a Sugardroi I was left alone," Connor said. "Kara chose to stay in the room with Alice and the new one."

"Uh, yes," Simon said. "Creating an extra for Alice, it seemed great on the surface. It was really a step to take with, um, Kara's permission," Simon warned him. "If you are a pooled . . . well, that might be changing soon. If you are each other's one and only's, then you must talk about things before action."

"New kid," Josh said. "You named it yet?"

"He's still in an observance stage," Connor noted. "He has been for some time. Children androids will remain in a stage of wonder for a little while. They aren't like us."

Small talk was basically over. It was just time to wait. Today, Rounds became President. What it meant, they didn't know. Just that there would be a call.

Then, it happened. Connor placed it on speaker. They would need each of their inputs on how to proceed, as well as any damage control against what Markus may have caused. "Hello President Rounds. How are you today?"

"I accepted the presidency, as I'm sure you know," he answered back. "I told former President Warren that I would be calling you shortly after I took office."

"Yes," Connor agreed. "We are the representatives of New Detroit and we will try to answer any of your questions."

"Markus went deviant when I last talked to him. He was not right in his head."

"Thought processing may have been corrupted," Simon said to President Rounds. "Still, overall, deviantry is quite rare. Connor can give you the overall statistics."

"Former President Warren already told me them," he said. "It didn't matter much. I have known even before Markus what I wanted to do with New Detroit."

Not good. That didn't sound good. Connor, Josh, and Simon all shared a look.

"Deviance is a problem. Small or large, it is a problem. Until it is taken care of, androids are a threat to the American people."

Really not good. Simon spoke up. "Almost 400,000 androids live here," he said, "and many of those came from other countries. Other countries have solved their own problems by rebellions using radiation by bringing them here to live in peace."

"Peace is an interesting word. Peace is agreed upon. What you have is a piece of American soil you've dominated over since people cannot come into it safely. Other countries have simply placed their problems on top of our problems."

"We created a value system," Josh reminded him. "We do the job of the humans, we share the property, and we share the paycheck."

"That was a decent solution in the beginning," the President noted. "Many Americans were left with no work and no property. It only made sense to do what we could to provide. However, it's been over half a year since the dirtybomb. Most Americans didn't live on half a paycheck alone. Most have moved on, and the paycheck from New Detroit is simply a bonus by now. A bonus they should know not to depend on forever."
