I Dare You {Reed900 Fic} (Has Been Revamped)

Chapter 1

(Author's Note Before We Begin: Chapters 1-8 have all been revamped. I've kept to the same storyline and major plot points so if you already have read the original versions before you shouldn't have to read the first 8. If you would like, you may skip ahead to Chapter 9 which is the first brand new chapter of this story. Thank you! Hope you enjoy!) 

"What the FUCK Fowler!" yelled a particularly enraged Detective Gavin Reed as he slammed his hands down against Captain Fowler's desk. Causing the objects on top of it to rattle out of place. Even the soundproof glass walls of Fowler's office couldn't contain his outburst, as the rest of the precinct quietly watched the scene unfold before them. 

"You know very well I don't do partners." Gavin went off again, "Especially not with this plastic prick!" Pointing back to the RK900 android standing in the back of the office in his cleanly pressed Cyberlife issued uniform, staring blankly back at them. He had not yet said a word since introducing himself as Gavin's new temporary partner.

"Jesus Reed! I can understand why you don't do partners, but it's only for a couple of weeks, a few months at the most! Then you can get back to your miserable loner life!" Fowler shouted back at Gavin, trying to reason with him. The poor Captain was getting tired of Gavin's shit, as they had been arguing for several minutes.

"Why can't you put him with anyone else! Anderson already has one and he practically treats it like his son, why not give him another. It basically looks the same!", Gavin shouted, pointing back to the android.

Fowler held the bridge of his nose and looked down at his desk, avoiding eye contact. "Reed. I am unable to partner him with anyone else because you are the only other qualified detective, believe it or not, that I trust with this. And Hank is not willing to have another partner!"

Gavin looked like he was about to quip another response before Fowler put up his hand, cutting him off. "Reed, I don't have time for this shit right now. Either deal with it or turn in your badge!"

Gavin's face flushed even redder with fury, staring down at his superior. He couldn't believe what the Captain had just said. They sat in a minute of uncomfortable silence, Gavin was slightly shaking from the adrenaline. He was about to stomp out of the office before the android stepped up and asked, "Captain Fowler, may we have the case file."

Fowler remained silent for a moment but began sifting through one of his multiple drawers before pulling out a file that looked crisp and brand new. He extended it out towards Gavin's direction. "I'm putting you two as the lead investigators of this case. I expect it solved before he goes back." Directing back to the android, who seemed to have no reaction of what unraveled before him.

Gavin forcibly snatched the case folder from his hand and stomped out of the room, slamming the door behind him. "Motherfuckin' prick." He muttered as he stormed back to his desk. He threw the case file onto his desk and hurled himself into his seat. Gavin crossed his arms over his chest, tossing his feet on top of his desk. He began to process what just happened. Either has to work with a fucking android for a month or so or lose his job, and he knew he wasn't gonna let that go.

The detective sulked at his desk for several minutes before he saw a cup being placed on his desk. He looked up, his stare meeting the last person he wanted to see.

"Your stress level increased to seventy-three percent since our meeting in Captain Fowler's office. I thought that maybe a coffee would help." The android stated, gesturing to the cup of coffee in front of him.

As much as Gavin wanted the caffeinated beverage. He shoved the foam cup with his foot, to the side of his desk, knocking it off into his half-empty trash can. "I don't want your charity, dipshit." He sneered, glaring right in the android's eyes.
