Abomination

Connor at the CyberLife Tower

A/N: Woow, this took longer than expected... So, hi. Welcome to the final chapter of Abomination! I really need to try and nail down the whole concept of an update schedule, you know. You'd think with being stuck at home, I'd be able to get more writing done. But Nope! I can thank school for that, with all the assignments I've been getting. Though no finals this year for us!! Best news that I've had since like March!! Now, onto the story. I hope this chapter is worth the wait!

THE PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION WAS GOING TO BEGIN soon. After Markus' speech, every android started to mill out of the abandoned church and head towards downtown Detroit. As they all started to walk out, Natalie tried to catch sight of the android that she had grown attached to. Yet through the thick sea of androids, she couldn't see Connor anywhere.

She did approach the first familiar android that she did see, however. "Markus?" The leader turned to her as they both continued to follow the crowd out of the building. "Have you seen Connor? I think I lost him in the crowd." Markus looked away from her for a moment before letting out a deep sigh. At the apprehensive look on his face, Natalie's stomach dropping as she thought of the worst. "What? Something wrong?"

"Natalie," Markus started, "Connor decided to help our cause another way."

The cyborg's eye narrowed in confusion. "Okay, and what is it? Where'd he go?"

Markus stared at her for a moment as frustration settled on her face. As much as he wanted to tell her where exactly Connor had gone, the rebellion leader knew that Natalie would try to go after him. Markus knew that the mission that Connor had gone on was extremely dangerous, and both of them wanted to keep Natalie out of harm's way. Natalie certainly would try to get to the CyverLife tower as fast as she could in order to help him and who knew if she would be safe there. He didn't doubt that Connor would do everything he could to keep Natalie safe. Markus had already seen that Connor and Natalie were extremely close to each other. However, he wouldn't risk putting the woman who he honestly considered a sister in a situation that may cause her death.

He sighed and placed a hand on her shoulder, "you can't go with him, Natalie."

"What?" She scoffed, "of course I can go with him."

"His mission is extremely dangerous-"

She cut him off as a glare settled on her face as she crossed her arms over her chest. "As is all of this. It doesn't make much of a difference who I go with, okay?" It sounded like Markus was trying to keep her from joining in on their demonstration or helping Connor. She didn't want to have that, at all. "So where did Connor go?"

"He and I both thought that it would be best if you stayed away from this."

Natalie bristled, "What?! But-"

"Markus," A tall dark-skinned android that Natalie remembered being named Josh came over to his friend and interrupted her. "Come on."

He nodded his head in acknowledgment and squeezed her shoulder before starting to try and appeal to her. He knew that she understood how these times were dangerous, however, she didn't seem to understand that he wanted to keep her out of harm's way. "We have to go, and I'm not having you anywhere near this, you could get hurt."
