Cant lose him (Reed900 Detroit Evolution Fanfic)

Chapter 2

Through his panic gavin some how had said "cyberlife! We need to get him to cyberlife" loud enough for tina and chris to hear, how he managed to do it he would never know, but now here they were looking at nines lay on the bed connected to a heart monitor and other shit that he couldn't understand the techno babble of, he looked so peaceful. If nines skin projection had been on from the neck down and he didn't have the LED on his temple gavin might have mistaken him for a sleeping human. But this wasn't a human or anyone else for that matter it was nines, it was his partner his best friend and he was fucked up.

Gavin paced for hours, even though he knew it was slowly agitating tina it was the only thing that was keeping him from flat out panicking. Technicians had been going in and out of the room yet none of them had stopped to let them know how the android was and none of them really showed any concern so gavin didn't know if nines was okay or not! It was 6 hours after they brought nines in that a woman finally approached them, dispite the fact that he was still pacing her presence caused him to still and look over her expression trying to find a clue on how his friend was before she even said anything.

She had a kind smile which quickly turned sympathetic as she looked from tina to gavin, taking a deep breath gavin looked back at her with questioning eyes "please, take a seat" she says as she sits down facing them, this cant be good fuck what if they wernt quick enough? Once he was sat down she began to speak, gavin was suprised that she was part of making both connor and nines "if you hadn't brought him in when you did, i dont think his data corruption could have been reversible" she says leaning forwards in the chair, gavin let out a sigh of relief at hearing that he had made the right choice, his friend was safe for now "so he's gonna be okay, right?" He asks anxiously looking between her and the window looking into nines's room.

She moved her head from right to left "not yet, his operating system is in tatters he can't function out of the deep stasis he's currently in" she says quietly looking from tina to gavin and back again quite a few times, gavin stared at her blankly, fuck what if nines never woke up again? The thought was to much so he quickly shook it away "we believe nines was forced into some kind of memory probe which he fought back against" fuck, the only one near him before gavin found him was ada! After saying the androids name and how they know her Dr maria nods solemnly "she was in his memories, but she is more than you know her to be" she says which confuses the two of them, shes a deviant android what more is there to know about her?

Maria obviously noticed his confusion as she continues rather quickly "elijah kamski created her when he was still CEO, she was RK100" she begins which catches tina's attention as she looks from gavin to her "rk like nines?" She asks as he and connor are the only rk models either of them know, he watches as maria nods "shes very different as Kamski didnt realise that emotions is the cause of deviancy, he assumed that ai needed to evolve which could be achieved through knowlege" she says looking down as she continues, her body language already worrying gavin as to what else they were about to hear "he thought that with enough knowledge she would evolve to develop her own consciousness" maria explains though gavin wonders what the fuck Elijah kamski was even thinking back then.

He saw tina slowly nod from the corner of his eye which told him that she was just as confused and lost as he was "before he could see if he had succeeded, ada was discovered and disposed of in a scrap yard" if she was disassembled and pretty much shut down how in the fuck did she come back and look so perfect? His question was quickly answered even though he hadn't said it "ada was made to adapt to all situations, we have no idea what pieces of biocomponents are hers and which have been stolen" this is so fucked up, how didnt he see this sooner?

Ada was fasinated by nines, how did he miss those warning signs?! Looking over at tina who was now leaning over to stare at the floor he whispers "i thought she wanted to be WITH him when in reality she just wanted a PART of him" how could an android do that to someone else? Not just nines but the other androids that had turned up with missing parts over the last year or however long nines had said "nines didn't know either, now you can find her" tina says turning to look at him her eyes filled with anger and worry that must reflect his own "not without nines" he whispers, tina had no idea that they made a pact to help each other out after gavin's nightmare less than 2 days ago and he wasn't going back on that if he could help it.

Tilting his head back he remembered the harsh words he had yelled at the android before he left with ada "the last thing he heard me say was that i didn't need him" He says shaking his head as he looked at tina once more, how fucking wrong that was. A confused look crossed tina's face as if she wasn't sure of what gavin was trying to tell her "you've said way worse before, that hadn't stopped you making up" she says leaning slightly closer to him, offering her comfort in a way she knew he liked and could stand "hes been getting closer, seeing shit others don't" he whispers closing his eyes again to keep the tears that were on the verge of falling at bay.

He stares across the hall as he says "it doesn't make sense" why would an android like nines be interested in a fucked up guy like him? Tina let out a soft chuckle "sure it does! Your his world, you're all he ever talks about to me in the break room" she says in a fond voice that he'd never heard before. Gavin looks at her with a small smile "I've seen the way he looks at you when your not looking as well" she says in a teasing tone that finally gets a chuckle out of him before he sighs again "what if they have to reset him and hes not the same?" He asks as the fear of not being fast enough from earlier resurfaces again, fuck he couldn't deal with having a whole new nines that he would have to befriend all over again "hey dont think like that" tina scolds him lightly as she gave him a knowing look before nodding towards nines room in a silent gesture for him to go talk to him.
