"Alright, lets go Kid." You smirk, flicking his bell. Kid growls at you at that, making you chuckle before opening the door to go out and stopping. "What's this...?" You lean down and pick up the device. Kid takes it swiftly as you read the note below it. 'His true intentions will show now.' You tilt your head and look over at Kid as he ejects the voice box he had in his throat. Small mechanical arms reach out, pulling the new voice box in and closing his throat up. You pause as a he coughs before looking you in the eye. "Take off this damn collar." He rumbles looking at you. "Nice voice." You smile. He just gives you a frown at that. "But I like the bell." You strike it again. Kid growls at you, grabbing your wrists before smirking. "I have an idea." He chuckles, taking off the collar and putting it on you. You gap as he flicks the bell. "Fuck you, I'm not wearing this." You growl. He snickers, flicking it again. "Oh you and I both know that can be arranged." He smirks and you blush lightly, glaring at him. "Relax, I'm kidding." He removes the collar. "Can we burn it?" "No... It's a nice momento..." You muse taking it. "For when you couldn't be a smart ass." You deadpan. He smiles back in amusement. "I enjoy your company." He hums. You tilt your head, narrowing your eyes trying to figure out if he was still being a smartass. "Lets go to work." You tell him, leading the way. "Nice..." He mutters when you straighten up with the device. "Looks like a cooling module." "Probably went with the engine we found yesterday." You smile, setting it on the dolly. "Oh! This looks promising!" You grin running over and diving into a pile of scrap. "How do you do that? Isn't your only shield skin?" Kid comments, tilting his head as he watches your legs kick. You ignore him pulling yourself deeper into the scrap. "Car parts, springs, useless... Whoa..." You blink at the blue glow underneath some scrap. You grin and try to lift it up. "Kid! Get in here!" Kid tilts his head, there was no longer any sight of you in the scrap. ".... No I'm good." He states before holding up his arm and drawing the metals to his arm and making the scrap pile lift up a bit. You smile, snaking your arm through the opening and pulling out the small machine. You crawl back out, giving Kid a big smile. "Another pay day Kid! Right here is a data capsule, by the looks of it, its important—" Kid swiftly snatches it up. "Nice... I knew it was still here!" He chuckles grinning. "... I'm not getting a big pay day am I?" You sigh. "I'll make it worth your while." He assures. You frown at him unimpressed. "That sounded like a sexual favor." You huff getting up. He pauses and looks at you before looking to the side with a frown. "Oh right. You're not interested in that sort of thing..." He gives you an annoyed look. "Why do you have to be difficult?" "Shut it. I'll just put your service mode to heavy use." You smirk. His eyes narrow at you at that. "Don't give me that. Franky would've paid a lot just for the device. You owe me." "Alright... A special massage then." He smirks back. "Nope, I want a fancy dinner and dessert. The house cleaned and.... You to recite the cheesiest poem ever written." You cackle. He glares at you now. "The last part is a joke right?" He grumbles. "Nope. It's punishment." You hum grabbing the dolly. "Come on little android, Lets head to Franky's~" "Little? You still picking a fight?" He growls. "Maybe. I'm just seeing what makes you tick." You respond lightly. "You mean besides the miniature nuclear reactor in my chest?" He inquires. "... That's alarming..." You mutter, you would be in big trouble if he ever decided to self destruct. "I guess for you it would be alarming." He shrugs as you both reach Franky's . You just give Kid a slight nod before going in. "Here Franky, this is all we got today." You wheel in the dolly. He looks it over and hums. "Five hundred." He says. "Alright." You smile, too bad it wasn't more, but oh well, the other device seemed important to Kid. You peer at the android, even if that device meant bad for you. Kid meets your gaze before holding out his old voice box. "What about this?" He inquires. Franky pauses while you blink in surprise. Your friend takes the voice box, looking over it carefully. "Another five hundred, bringing today's total to a thousand." Franky rumbles. You smile a bit more, and look at Kid. "You sure about that?" You ask him. "I don't keep momentos," He shrugs before you both start out, Franky would wire you the money later. "You didn't have to do that..." You tell him. "What good is a broken voice box?" He says pointedly, rubbing his neck. "That guy will find more uses for it." "Do you want to get anything before heading back?" You look at him. "How much do you think I need woman?" He scoffs. "I don't know! You know I don't know, so don't be a smartass!" You retort. He chuckles at you and pats your head. "Little human gets so agitated." He teases. "I'll break that voice box too buddy." You frown at him. "It's adorable that you think I'll let you." He snickers. You push him and run ahead. "You better hurry up android! If I get home first, I'm gonna make a huge mess!" You call. "You better not! I'll kick your ass!" He growls sprinting after you. Holy shit he was faster than you thought. You gulp and run faster for the apartment. You smirk, reaching the door, but as soon as you open it, Kid picks you up. "Gotcha, and I'm the first in." He smirks turning and backing into the apartment. You pant lightly, trying catch your breath, its been a bit too long since you ran like that. "Androids..." You grumble unhappily. They would surely kill you one way or another.... Or several.... "I'm not looking forward to any of this..." He sighs, tossing you onto the couch. You huff and sit up, rubbing your neck. "What about just dinner and dessert?" You hum. "I've never cooked before..." He frowns. "Don't worry, its in your programing, check below that charm file," You hum. "I just hope you're a better cook than you are a charmer." "You are such a difficult human..." He grumbles. "I was joking, come here." You pat next to you as you sit back and close your eyes. Kid huffs before going over and sitting beside you. He sighs quietly, putting his weight on you. You open your eyes as you fall over. "Oi... Get off... You're heavy..." You frown at him. He pulls on your arm, making you lay on your back before he lays back over you. You frown up at the ceiling as he rests his head against your chest. "So... Are you just going to be the scrap queen forever?" He inquires. The question caught you off guard. "It... Pays good... And I do love doing it, no one to bother me... Finding hidden gems... Like a troublesome android." You mush his cheeks. "That's interesting, I just thought you had bigger plans." He comments. "I used to.... I used to want to be so many important things... But I somehow found myself doing what me and Kid used to..." You smile softly. "That's okay though, I'm happy, doing what I've always loved." You peer at the old picture frame, at your old friend. "Hey! Hey! Look at this!" The red haired boy chimes, shoving a little robot in your face excitedly. "Cool! Can it move on it's own?" You gasp when he pulls it back. "I think so, it needs work though," He grins, "What did you find?" He asks curiously. You hold up the small mechanism, turning the crank and making it play a sweet little tune. You frown when it starts to jerk before stopping. "Here, let me see it." He takes it, looking it over before taking off the crank and unraveling the string from around the base. With a hum of approval, he puts it back together and hands it back to you. You smile and start to turn the crank again. "That's better! Thanks Kid!" You give him a big smile. He smiles back, tilting his head. "Hey ___, you wanna come back here tomorrow?" He asks hopefully. "Mhm! Let's find more cool stuff! Together!" You cheer. "Hey you damn kids! What do you think you're doing in my yard!?" A call sounds and you both look over. "Time to go!" Kid laughs, grabbing your hand and running for the fence. He helps you over before swiftly following you. You giggle with him as you both run away with your newest treasures. Kid peers at you before following your gaze. "So... What's the truck going to be for?" He brings you back from the memories. "So I can go to scrap yards that are further away... I mean, if I could find you in this one, imagine what else I could find closer to the rich areas." You smile at him cheerfully. He blinks before rolling over to look at you better. "What will you do if you find another android?" He inquires. "Hmmm... No idea, I can't even handle one android, what the he'll would I do with two? And I can't replace you, I happen to like your face, even if it is scarred and kind of scary at night." You hum, patting his cheek. "Would it help if I wore a bunny mask?" He jokes. "No, you don't understand, everything looks scary at night. I used to have this bunny figurine on the window seal, and one night it was storming... The lightning illuminated it in a way that made me feel like it wanted my soul, so I his it somewhere and.... I have no clue where it is now..." You shrug and the android drops his head, laughing against your torso. "You're so ridiculous..." He chuckles looking at you in amusement. "That story stays between us, I don't need the brothers picking on me about this." You scoff. "Don't worry, only I will pick on you about this."
