*    omg  i'm  so  sorry  .   this  got  lost  in  my  notifs  )):
            
                 markus  kept  holding  adalane's  hand  ,   trying  to  lead  her  through  jericho  .   before  realising  something  was  wrong  ,   she  couldn't  keep  moving  .   he  looked  back  and  forth  ,   bringing  her  behind  some  cargo  boxes  .   “   you're  loosing  a  lot  of  thirium  .   what  happened  ?   ”   he  asked  ,   trying  to  get  her  to  sit  down  .   he  had  to  be  able  to  do  something  ,   right  ?   he  couldn't  just  let  her  die  .   .  not  here  ,   not  now  .   “   sit  down  ,   i'm  going  to  find  you  some  thirium  ,   i  promise  .   ”

@revolutionarysoul ] adalene had stumbled and tripped over her own feet , her legs not able to move fast enough with the amount of thirium she was loosing and how heavily her glitch was affecting her processors , ❛ i - i'm coming , don't wo - worry ! ❜ she used his outstretched hand to get up , ignoring the error messages popping up in front of her vision and the way she felt her lower joints wanting to lock up , instead pushing herself to keep going like markus had said . even though she had said ' don't worry ' she was terrified out of her mind and worried that she could overheat at any moment due to her steadily climbing stress levels . 

@negotiatingandroid  ] his words did little to help calm her rising nerves , she knew that there were still people looking for the few left of her model that had escaped the recall that rolled around after her glitch started but it was still scary being next to someone who's goal was to bring her in . the look on his face stayed neutral while he talked and usually that would make her uncomfortable or worried but she didn't quite mind it because she could see the soft look in his eyes , that she preferred over the harsh narrowed glances she had been given before . adalene didn't know connor , didn't really know his motives or what he was thinking but she was always quick to trust others thanks to her originally child - like programming and he seemed to actually want to help her so she aimed to help calm her shaking down ( even though her stress levels stayed the same because she was still somewhat worried about those people that wanted him to turn her in ) . ❛ i - i - ❜ she didn't quite know what to say : she didn't want to be disassembled and sent back to cyberlife , she didn't want to get in trouble for scratching that man when she was only protecting herself , she wanted to keep living , she wanted to go back home ! god , she could practically feel her stress climb back up again as the tremor in her small hands spread to her arms causing her to wrap her arms around her little frame in attempt to stall the shaking running through her body . ❛ pl - please . . ❜ the teen started with finally , keeping her gaze locked with his , showing how wide and fearful the look in her eyes was , ❛ i don't wanna d - die - ❜ it wasn't her fault that she was built with her malfunction that affected hee components like this , but she had gotten used to them and learned how to work around them so why couldn't she just go back to her family ? the dark skinned android took a shakey breath as her hands gripped the artificial skin of her forearms tightly , ❛ ada - adalene . ❜

            Connor held his hands up just a little bit to show he would not be a threat to her, scanning over her features once more. He took note of the missing digits, but he didn’t examine any further into her biocomponents at this very moment. “I am not going to lie to you: there are some people looking for you, and they sent me to retrieve you.” It was better to tell her the truth in an attempt to gain her trust than to lie to her, but at the same time he was taking a risk that she could simply self-destruct. At the moment, her stress levels were rising but they weren’t high enough to reach that self-destructing point, so they /should/ be fine that he was saying such a thing. “I will need you to come with me, but I will not let them hurt you.” She was in the line of children android models, so that made it a little harder on him to try and explain what was going on without her being so afraid. Despite being only a machine, he couldn’t help but to feel a little... sad, perhaps, that she needed to be brought back to the police station, to soon be shipped back off to Cyberlife. “Just relax, okay...? Everything is going to be okay. What is your name?” Of course, he already knew her name due to having scanned her entire model, but it was more of a question to help her calm down a little more.

@negotiatingandroid ] her vision was swarming again and she hated seeing all that red , the messages popping up were quicker than her reaction time and as she closed them there would simply be another to take its place . she tried to focus on the other android , forcing her ears to pick up where her eyes were leaving her behind even though he head was starting to hurt ( was it hurting ? she couldn't even tell ) . adalene tried to relax like he said , took a breath even though she didn't need it and closed her eyes to soften the sharpness of the alerts flashing before her . ❛ con - convince who ? ❜ she was scared , still visibly shaken from the moment that had gotten her into this mess where she was missing fingers on one of her hands and had some internal damage leaking blue blood throughout her systems . her glitch was kicking in to match her emotions and she hated it , hates how they gave away her feelings without hurt control and how they affected her movements and processors . ❛ where are you going to t - take me ? ❜

* there she went again , saying we despite the way she tripped over the word ; but she understood some of its importance now . he didn't think he was alive so why would he think that she was ? she / had to try / to fix that . she couldn't remember a time where she didn't think of herself as living but it seemed not all androids were that way . she had met a few before while in hiding that thought and expressed themselves like she did ; freely , but he didn't . he / acted / like a machine but the little pauses he was suddenly doing showed her that he was more than that . the young android fought to control her shaking as she lifted her hands to wipe at the wetness on her cheeks , feeling her internal fans slow down as her processors starting gaining control of themselves again . she was scared still sure but she was tired of being afraid . she shook her head at his words , her frown deepening on her face as she gripped tightly at the straps of the bag around her shoulder to ground herself . * ❛ / no / . i'm n - not going with you . ❜
            
            //; aww don't feel bad she can handle it ;)) sorta xDD

@JUSTAMACHINE- ] * she watched him with her wide fearful eyes , waiting for him to grab at her again or to force her from her still curled position against the alley wall but instead he stayed silent ? her brows furrowed at seeing his led flash a new color but she didn't have time to comment on it before he was staring at her with those narrowed cold eyes again . they were both androids , both had the same blood running through their bodies and yet he thought they were just machines that deserved to be shut down if someone said so ? that didn't make any sense to her . adalene knew that the way she functioned was more than just her coding , the way she thought and spoke and acted were all / her / not just the way she had been programed . she made decisions on her own and made her own expierence , that's what she was supposed to do wasn't it ? why would she be made that way if it was so wrong ? * ❛ th - that's not true . ❜ * she returned but it was a weak attempt , her body freezing up for a moment when he moved back and she could practically feel a breath she didn't need lodge itself in her throat until he turned his head away from her . her brows furrowed again but this time in frustration instead of confusion , what was up with him now ? it scared her even more the new behavior he was showing because it meant he was unpredictable and she didn't know what he was going to do next . * ❛ we were m - made this way . . we / must be / alive . wh - why give us our own thoughts and lives if w - we weren't ? ❜

                 *    honestly  ,   me  too  .   but  i  also  feel  kinda  bad  ((:
            
               *    it  didn't  immediately  answer  ,   a  moment  of  hesitation  between  its  answers  ,   the  blue  led  flickering  yellow  .   its  cold  eyes  shifting  to  something  a  bit  less  rude  ,   cruel  .   before  it  grew  cold  once  again  .   *    we  aren't  alive  .   it  is  simple  as  that  .   *   it  took  a  step  backwards  ,   standing  up  .   it  stopped  looking  at  her  .   one  could  tell  ,   it  was getting  confused  .   it  was  doubting  itself  .   why  ?   she  seemed  so  real  ,   her  emotions  .   but  ,   that  was  irrational  .   completely  irrational  .   they  were  made  of  plastic  ,   wires  .   it  was  simple  of  that  .   it  had  found  a  yk700  before  ,   but  it  wasn't  like  this  .   it  wasn't  so  alive  .   and  her  saying  they  both  were  alive  ,   when  most  people  would  only  talk  about  themselves  .   it  made  him  feel  a  bit  weird  .    *   get  up  .   or  i  will  be  forced  to  neutralise  you  .   *   it  pushed  down  those  doubts  ,   looking  down  on  her  .   *

@cyberboness ] ❛ i'm not a fighter , it's not in my pro - programming . i don't want to h - hurt anyone . . and i don't want to / be / hurt either . . that's already happened before . ❜

i really can ' t reassure you here because you ' re right  .  all you can really do is protest for the equality you want or do so with violence  .  know how to protect yourself either way  . 

@cyberboness ] ❛ b - but you're right ! humans don't like what's diff - diff - different and no matter how hard i try they'll only see me as that ! even my own kind ! no one likes me , they all want to ki - kill me - ❜

@quietdets ] ❛ i don't wanna d - die . . i'm scared . . please don't hu - urt me - ❜

i  may  be  a  detective,    but  i'm  not  as  big  and  bad  as  the  others.     i  promise  i  won't  hurt  you,   'kay?    i'm  here  to  help  you,   sweetie.   

@quietdets ] ❛ h - how . . how can i t - trust you ? ❜
