Detroit: Reborn (DBH Fanfic)

Ch.2-Just an Ember

~Jericho Church: December 2nd 3:43pm~

Markus waited with North, looking over supplies as they waited for Connor. After getting a call that Cyberlife made a deal Connor said he wanted to introduce a friend to Jericho. Most of the humans that volunteered left before it started to snow and now the androids were getting ready for the cold evening. It was sad, Markus couldn't deny that, but he knew that something could be figured out. As they waited, the doors open to reveal Connor along with a woman. Markus immediately went to go greet them finding it surprising how the woman look to be in awe as she greeted everyone with a hello or a nod.

"Connor, I'm glad you could come. Who is this?" Markus asked, glancing between the ex-hunter and woman.

"Markus, this is Kathryn Hogan, she's the one that's going to help make a change for your people." Connor introduced and Katie walked forward to shake his hand.

"It's wonderful to finally meet you. I've sent androids your way but couldn't join the revolution myself." Katie spoke up. "And you can just call me Katie."

Markus smiles and looked at North as she came to stand by him. "Well I'm Markus, and this is North. Any help you can give is appreciated."

The four walked to the side of the building that had some fallen structures that they could sit and Katie detailed the plan she made with Cyberlife. Markus and North said nothing as they waited for her to finish and countered their current issues to her plan. When she had finished she gave a brief explanation of her android body, which seemed to leave unreadable expressions on the leader's faces. Katie shrugged. "Sorry, just thought you'd want to know."

"You don't seem like an android." North skeptically said.

"That was the great thing about the process, I still had my human brain. Don't get me wrong I was mad at my father at first, but after a while I got used to the new body and bio component checks." Katie said, not seeming bothered whatsoever.

"Well that aside, thank you for convincing Cyberlife to help out." Markus spoke up, crossing his legs. "I'll inform the androids to go see you if they're looking for employment. When do we expect the biocomponents?"

"Cyberlife seemed adamant about giving out parts." Connor answered. "It may still be awhile before you get anything. But Katie might get the thirium early and you can inform me of any problems."

North glanced at Markus. "Humans will still have trouble hiring deviants. How can we be sure they'll be safe in their workplace?"

Katie smiled. "If you're worried about it, I can help. Once I get enough people at my restaurant that I'm confident in, then I can help the androids find jobs and pretend to be a customer to see the manager's true colors."

"That could work." Markus nodded and stood up. "Thank you Katie, I hope you'll come to us if there's any problems."

"Got it. It was a pleasure meeting you both." Katie said and stood up with Connor, looking at the taller android happily. "Shall I give you a ride to the DPD?"

"That would be nice." Connor replied with a smile of his own as the two made their way out of the church.

Getting into Katie's silver car, she immediately turned on the heat and waited, looking at the time. "Damn this late already? Connor are you sure you want to go back to work?"

Connor's eyes looked at the digital clock in the car which read 4:30pm, then looked to her with a smile. "I normally work until 9 in the evening."

"Alright if that's what you want." Katie shrugged, grabbing the steering wheel and moving the car onto the main road. "I personally hate working late."
