He freaked out, he got to out of the androids control, grabbing his gun from his other hand, Shooting himself in the head. He felt nothing after that. He was sure he would be blind if he was rebooted. He had zero idea what was going to happen to him, he would probably just be out into the scraps like usual. After all. Markus left him there. It was a good call, he would have just weighed the group down. And he would do whatever Markus said anyway.

It was about two weeks later. The androids had gone for a peaceful approach and they had got the public to accept them as people and citizens. Simon had been given back to Markus, who instantly ran to cyber life, who was allowed to stay, but they had let the androids they make go, and also were allowed to continue making child androids, and helping with repairs. And that's just what Markus was there for. Repairs.

He was instantly asking for a repaired Simon, with all his memory. One of the workers nodded and asked the Android to sign something, which he did with no regards as to what it said.

Mistake one

Markus came back the next week after being alerted that Simon was ready. But what he walked into wasn't the same Simon. Not at all. Sat there was a small blonde boy who was confused as he talked to the worker. His voice was the same as Simon. He also seemed to have the memories of Simon. As he spoke his worry got worse as he kept spitting out questions " Why am I like this? What if Markus hates me now? How am I supposed to help? This isn't my body "

Markus was roughly the same as he walked closer to Simon, placing his arm on the other. The Male seemed to be roughly 6 years old physically. Simon jumped and looked up into those multicoloured eyes and spoke " Markus.... I don't understand " the dark coloured Android stroked the blonde locks. As the worker began to speak. " We were able to keep his memories but barely. His body was useless though, some of his compartments were unable to be replaced, and he'd be blind. And I was going to put him back into another body of the same model but turns out we didn't have any in stock. So, we did the next best thing, which was a child model of the same looks but smaller. " he gestured towards the smaller Android " he doesn't have the childish mind, but it's easy to turn on if he ever wish it. "

Simons tears began. Sure he didn't have a child Android mind but he was scared. What would the others at Jericho think now. He was barely useful in his old body. Now he would be even worse. Markus instantly crouched to hug the Male. His instincts guiding him. He knew nothing about children but would do parenting research instantly. Because he knew that while Simon wouldn't ask, Simon would prefer to forget about the fact others might not like him. He wouldn't do it without his permission though. He picked Simon up, thanking the other, connecting to the payment Android paying. " we shall be on our way then. "

Markus walked out with the blonde on his hip and cuddled into his neck. He stroked the males back " It's okay Simon. " The smaller Android frowned " I'm useless now. I was barely able to contribute before, now I can't do anything. " Markus shook his head " that's not true. Now come on, I have so much to tell you " he opened hanks car, and set Simon in a car seat, and began to drive, telling him everything that has happened since the revolution, Hank and Connor had gotten close enough that Hank had adopted Connor, due to a request by Connor to be placed into a child Android body. To help Hank with his need to be a father. And due to that Markus had become an uncle, Alice became a cousin, North and josh became a couple, Kara and Luther too, looking after Kara, the jerries and Ralph began to help with child entertainment at Jericho.

Yea, when it all ended. Markus went back to Carl, said his goodbyes, and found out he inherited the home. So he had that going for him. But he knew he needed more. So he bought a building with a lot of floors. On the first floor was a casual hang out area with a food court sort of thing, for both androids and humans. The second floor was an entertainment place, where Jerries and Ralph work. The third floor was the Jericho meeting room. North was in charge of anything to do with violence and keeping in contact with police. Josh was in charge of the diplomatic part.

The fourth floor was an entire floor only for those who Markus knew closely to live or have a vacation sometimes. Josh and north lived there. So did Ralph and Jerry. Connor and Hank visited, they lived in a much better looking place, a two story house with three rooms. Hank went from police work to being an Android daycare practically. Connor being his child, he hadn't forgotten anything, and still had the same functions, he just was also a child. Kara, Alice and lither also visited but they lived in Canada with rose and her family. Markus lived in Carl's home with the new Android, because he too felt connected to Carl. So Markus let him stay. But now Simon could stay too.

Markus now worked as an artist, and a representative as an Android to any politic event. Word out also said people wanted him to be the next president but he turned it down. Simon was shocked by it all, they had won, and everything was much better even in such a short amount of time. The rest of the floors weren't finished, or even planned. Markus called the other Android in Carl's home, which called himself Tyke. " Please prepare one of the spare rooms for a child Android, but understand this is Simon. " then a few other things were discussed. Simon had been in thought. He wasn't there to help with all of this change.

Markus soon hung up. And left hanks car. Taking the boy out and placing him on his feet. Hank and Connor were also at Carl's house as Connor was visiting them when he got the notification, hence him using hanks car. Markus held simons hand and led him into the house, smiling. Hank and Connor were asking questions to Tyke, and why the room looked like it was meant for a child, when they saw Simon. Hank looked confused, since when the was Male a child. Connor, in his childish mind grinned. In his eyes it was a new friend.

Simon his behind Markus, hating the attention. Hank picked Connor up saying " We will be downstairs. " Markus nodded as the older man and connor left. Simon was lead into a bedroom. The design was of cooking, Ocean life and forests. Tyke didn't know. He only heard bits and bobs from Markus, not really listening. The bed and bedside table was ocean themed. The wardrobe was forest themed and the rest was cooking themed. There wasn't a lot because markus wanted to order the rest. But he sat Simon on the bed and took his shoes off.

Tyke spoke " Would you prefer it if I adjust the house to fit a child too? " Markus nodded " please do. " Simon pouted and spoke " I'm not a child, I just have a body of one. " the robojesus sat on the bed and spoke softly " that's what I wanted to talk to you about. I know you will get worked up on thinking your useless. So I'd like to set the child mind on? You'd have your memories and abilities you'd just think more childish and your body would too. " Simon looked confused. He honestly just wanted to make Markus happy. " would you feel better if i did? " Markus frowned " Would you like it Simon. Not me. You. " the blonde had a deep thought before nodding, The Male turned and Markus fiddled with a few switches before putting the child body on, and mind too. Markus had researched the model as soon as he saw it and knew this would be the model which was meant for parents who didn't want the Android the size of an infant but to still be in the toddler stage. So Accidents, tantrums, cuddles. And cuteness. But he knew Simon would still have his memories so it might be different. He laid the sleeping boy down in the bed, knowing that this would happen as it what happened when you switched anything on an android control panel. He then walked downstairs to explain to hank and Connor. Knowing they would be worried, confused and had every right.
