Life Finds A Way (A Detroit Become Human Fanfiction)

Chapter 9: Two Frequencies

Detroit Police Department, 11:00. Late Meeting.

As soon as Hank had called up Fowler to give him the facts, there was a definite emergency meeting.

Fowler stared at Kara in the middle with her handcuffs on. He looked to the side of her at Hank. He looked to the other side at Connor. "Let me get this straight. Let me get this real straight, fellas. Okay?" He gestured toward Kara. "She? She is the pregnant android that half the world is looking for, half the world is scared of, and half the world believes is just a rumor to make humans hate androids? Do I got that right?"

"Yes, Fowler. The end of the world, you're staring at her," Hank confirmed.

"And this android? This woman? This going to be mother?" Fowler looked toward Connor. "Is carrying your child? Android? What do you call it?"

"Detroit," Connor said with a definite degree of pride. "His name is Detroit AXRK 1200. He's a boy." His family. His very first family member.

"How?"

Hm. Which way should he say it? "I got laid and it made a love child." A combination of Hank's words and Kara's friends' words. That worked. No, Fowler didn't seem to like that one either.

"Hank? Tell me you can make sense of this?" Fowler asked. He held his hands out to Hank, imploring him, like Connor was talking in another language.

"Elijah Kamski ordered them around when they were machines to have sex," Hank said. "Supposedly? I mean, Kamski said it was a puzzle they were supposed to solve. No memory, and no control back then. Kara, the woman in front of you, was given to Kamski for a day. We've got a witness to that but he's not practical. Kamski put that little thing in her. You know the rest of it from the reports, right?"

"What's right and what's wrong is confusing," Fowler said. "I've been leaning more toward what Markus says. So. A little android that grows up slow, like a human."

"Made from each of our data," Connor said. "Not just a replica, a fusion of data."

"No android is ever gonna be like it again. It's gonna have the slow growth of a human too, that's not a lie. Hell she's still got two months to go, a whole year for her," Hank said for them.

"And?" Fowler still didn't seem to understand. "Why would someone . . . do that? I mean, if Kamski's responsible, why would he keep it all slow?"

"To make us like humans," Kara finally spoke. "He tried to make the process resemble the human pregnancy as much as possible."

"Well, does it happen the first time?" Fowler asked. "Is there a limited number?"

"We don't know about how it happens, Kamski hid records and deleted the entire RK series information. We've got nothing on that," Hank reminded him. "However, a year between plus having to raise them, it won't make them pop out in the thousands. They aren't going to rise in the millions and take over the world. They're just. Just androids. Just, babies. Blue babies."

"Blue?" Fowler asked. He looked toward Kara. "They're blue?"

"Underneath. A staining from the blue blood with the strange metal it's made of. The synthetic skin is more human in color," Kara assured him. "It only lasts until it's two."

"Yes, and the AXRK 1200 is similar to a last name for Detroit," Connor admitted. "Combining our model numbers."

"Yeah." Fowler looked from one to the other before settling back to Connor. "So you just learned your going to be a daddy tonight, huh? Special feature only you had?" Connor nodded. "Okay. Well, that might be a good thing. We've got dad right here." He gestured to Connor. "Who's been working here since, well, ever." He gestured to Kara. "We have mom right here. We've got a secure perimeter to watch what happens between it and the three of you." He shook his head. "Maybe, but there's a real good chance the president is going to want to get involved."
