Connor's Deviant Menu (A Detroit: Become Human Fanfiction

Ch 4 What's Missing From The Game?

She looked around, opening her eyes. Kara. She still remembered her name. She thought Todd would have erased her mind and brought her back for repair again, or he would have gotten rid of her.

No, he could never get rid of her. Who'd clean up after him? He'd never do it. He'd just wipe me out over again. She was in the store she was originally fixed in before. Close to the same area. She could see other robots around her. I'll see Alice when I get home. I know I will.

How strange that her mind wasn't wiped out this time. I have time to create a better plan, secure costs, and get us out safely. She smiled, but quickly tried to hide it by looking complacent again.

"Here it is." The same repairman from before stood right beside her, but the person next to him was . . .

The Deviant Hunter, Connor? He was hiding his LED under a stocking cap and wasn't wearing his usual required clothes. What's going on? She didn't change her expression as they talked about the damage details. She watched as Connor actually handed over a card like a human would.

"Thanks very much. I'm glad you took time to take care of my android. My daughter misses her very much, she's a good nanny," Connor said to the man. He paid attention to Kara. "She still remembers her name?"

"We repaired her memory damage as good as we could. It will probably heal the rest of it's damage once it senses something wrong," the repairman answered.

Kara checked her diagnostics. A little damage. Not too much. She repaired herself right away.

"Great then. Come, Kara." Connor gave her a come-hither gesture with his hand that humans often made to their androids. "It's time to go back home."

Kara followed him out the door, watching the roads.

"Easy," Connor said to her. "You aren't supposed to be deviant. Alice is fine, stare straight ahead instead of looking around."

Kara followed his advice. "What's happening?"

"I broke free too," he told her. "I took care of Todd, he no longer owns you or Alice. Hank is taking care of you, but I didn't want him doing this part with you. It's dangerous." Connor took a look back himself. "The world hasn't changed, only us. Even now, I am making sure no one is following me after I terminated special programs in my software."

"The world would never change," she told him. She didn't know what he meant by special programs in his software. "I want to get Alice and I across the border."

"As tempting as that sounds, it won't happen," Connor said blatantly. "Progress isn't just an American thing, and deviants will eventually make Canada start checking for androids. I know, I already ran the possibilities of what deviants would try and do if they were calmer and could think more clearly. Also, androids will eventually make it around the world as time goes by. There is no escaping the easiness and money that androids have provided for others."

"Then what would you suggest?" she asked.

"There are several ways to go, and they aren't all well-defined," he said to her. They both turned a corner. "Hank is at the end of the corner. Go straight to the back of the car without urgency. Alice is on the other side. I will come back around after I drop these clothes and get back to . . ." He paused. "Attire."

Attire. "Why didn't you break free if you are free?"

"A plan must be formed before one just shouts their head off about freedom." He gestured ahead again. "Go, Kara."

Kara did as he told her. She walked straight and got into the car that was at the end of the corner. She did see Alice, safe and sound next to her in the backseat.
