After the lengthy process of being questioned by the FBI, Y/n was finally released and now, she stood in front of her home. Feeling exhausted, both mentally and physically, she lazily opens the door and just smiled at Sumo as he barked and nuzzled himself on her leg.

"Y/n?"

She looked up and saw that her father had just walked out of his room in his home clothes and she could see the worry on his face. She gave him a tired smile and he rushed towards her and gave her a tight hug. Her eyes widened a bit at the action but she soon relaxed and leaned on him.

"I was worried sick. Fowler gave me a call that you suddenly found Jericho and that the FBI raided the place. I thought you got caught in the middle of it..."

"I mean... I did, but! But... I wasn't hurt in any way, shape, or form. Perkins was definitely upset about me being the source of the location and seeing me there himself. He probably even told his goons to take longer in questioning me which is why I'm so late."

"Ha, he probably didn't like it that we punched him in the face."

Y/n gave him a tired chuckle and when Hank released her, she went straight to the couch. Her father sat down next to her as she leaned back and she knew that he had many questions he wanted to ask.

"So... What happened?"

She sighed and closed her eyes for a bit, she tried to recollect the things that had happened since everything had been a rush for her. When she thought back though, her memories of Connor flashed through her mind and she figured she would begin there.

"Well, for starters, Connor's a deviant."

"I figured as much... He didn't look like he was following his programming, I guess that was the sign."

"Yeah... It was strange... seeing him turn deviant. Connor had so much emotion in him that you'd think he would've exploded from it."

"How did it happen?"

Y/n felt her heartbeat speed up at the question and a tinge of the adrenaline she had felt a few hours ago came back to her. She remembered the way Connor looked at her when he deviated, the realization in his eyes followed by the many emotions that she saw.

"Remember Chloe?"

"Yeah?.."

"It was like that... but with Markus. I stopped him from shooting Markus."

"So... you stopped Connor... from achieving his mission?"

"I... saw this group of androids... Remember the AX400 that ran away with a little girl? I saw them there. Dad, she was protecting that little girl because she was being abused by her father. They ran away because she was hurting her... And then they were with another android and they just... seemed like a family."

She looked at her father in regret and she smiled sadly at him.

"They... They just looked like a family who wanted to be together, safe and secured... After seeing that, I can't just deny that they aren't people too."

Hank gave her a smile and a comforting pat on her shoulder.

"Well, you did the right thing."

As her father comforts her, she receives a notification on her smartwatch, it didn't have a number or any name so she was hesitant to see who it was but when she had opened it and reads the short message she left out a laugh of relief.

"What is it?"

Y/n smiled widely at her father and showed him her watch which had a simple message.
