Chapter 1 - Programmed Men

He didn't remember waking up. 

But he remembered sleeping. 

And dreaming. 

        He dreamt that he was in a house, a big beautiful house with cream walls and dark green roofs. He remembered playing soccer with a small blond haired boy,..he remembered his laugh,...he remembered those two cerulean eyes. He remembers the way he would laugh, the way he pouts, and the last thing he remembered was the boy crying. Screaming. 

        In his dream, he also saw two elderly man and woman, smiling brightly at him from the front porch. He remembered the woman cooking for him and kissing his cheeks. He remembered the man teaching him how to fish and remembered having an arm wrestling with him -he would win each round but he had a sneaking suspicion that the man lets him win. He remembers them smiling on the porch, but he also remembers burning on the porch, screaming and crying for help. 

It was a perfect nightmare. 

Something he crave every night. 

        Liam woke up with a jolt, sweating. His muscular chest heaved up and down rather rapidly with sweat covering every inch of his tan skin causing the hairs on his abs and chest to clung on body. He sat up slowly, wincing at the slight pain on his shoulder. His abs flexed, revealing the prominent six pack drenched in sweat as he sat with his back against the cool headboard. He looked at the clock- 5 a.m.

         Liam doesn't remember coming home to his apartment. The last thing he remembered was delivering the item he was supposed to retrieve. He remembered seeing the worried face of Dr. Tomlinson. Hell, he couldn't even remember where was his last mission. Liam shrugged it off, since memory lapse isn't something new for him. They probably ordered Dr. Tomlinson to wipe it. 

        After sitting on his bead for a good ten minutes, reminiscing his dream of the blond haired boy and the two couple... Liam go off the bed and does his routine work out. He puts on the music that Dr. Tomlinson suggested to him but turned it off after 30 seconds the song played because he couldn't stand listening to music. Something about music makes his chest tighten and his brain a mess. But the end of his two hours work out, he felt much better even though the pain on his shoulder was still present. He knows that he couldn't do anything about it- it was up to Dr. Tomlinson to fix it. 

        Liam stood naked under the hot shower, letting the water flows through his body. He closed his eyes as he lets the memory of the dream fills his heads once a again. He has a lot of of question regarding this dream, about the teenage boy, and the lovely couple. Who were they? What happened to them? What do they have to do with him? He snapped out of his daze. He was afraid to talk about his dream to Dr. Tomlinson, fearing that his superior might order Dr. Tomlinson to delete the memories of his dream. He was, after all, belonged to the government. He didn't know why he was holding onto the dream but as years past, the dream became more vivid and invading his head with feelings he was not familiar with. 

        While drying himself up, the buzzer of his door rang. Liam walked slowly towards the door, taking his 9 millimeter gun from the drawer. As he put his hand on the door, raising his gun to the side of his face, he heard a familiar voice groaning from the other side. 

"Liam come on,..I'm freezing out here," Dr. Tomlinson groans followed by rustling of plastic bags. Liam immediately puts down his gun and turned the door knob. Once the door was open, it revealed a shivering man in a dark trench coat. Dr. Louis Tomlinson was a short man in his late twenties, with tan skin, dull blue eyes with dark eye bags under them and his brown hair was a mess, like it always has been and his signature stubble that needed a shave, badly. 

"Dr. Tomlinson, good morning," Liam greeted the man all to formally. 

"Good mor- For heaven sakes Liam! Do you mind?"  Louis screeched once he saw that Liam was naked. 

"Is there something wrong Dr. Tomlinson?"  Liam asked, tilting his head to the side. He knows that there is no danger around and his sensor sensed that Dr. Tomlinson's heartbeat spiked for no reason. 

"Would you kindly cover up your anaconda please?" Louis chuckled, still covering his eyes. 

"Are you using sarcasm as a reference to my genitals, Dr Tomlinson?" Liam asked with a small smile, making his eyes squint a tad. "Based on your current sexual orientation wouldn't you have liked to see-"

"Yes now please cover it up Liam," Louis cuts him off, sighing as he entered the all too clean apartment. He then made his way to the kitchen, setting down two bags of breakfast on the granite island.

         Liam wrapped himself with the towel he previously use to dry his body. He then went into his bedroom and put on his sweatpants. He decided not to put on any shirt since he knows that Louis will be giving him his weekly check-up after breakfast. He walked into the kitchen, watching Dr. Tomlinson's every movement as he sets down the plates and cutlery's. After Louis was done setting down everything to his liking, he mentioned Liam that was standing behind him quietly to sit on his spot. 

        This is their routine if Liam doesn't have any mission. Louis would come to his apartment bringing breakfast and they would sit on their usual seat as they enjoy breakfast. Once a week, Louis would give him an inspection of his body, making sure that everything was up to par. Dr. Tomlinson would usually give the inspection/check-ups in the base's laboratory, but for unknown reason's he wanted to give the check-ups outside the lab, saying that he was much more comfortable. 

        Liam has a huge appetite -Louis knows this because he was practically one of the people that made Liam, well, re-made him. He watched with a fond smile as Liam inhale the food in front of consisting of bacon, sausages, eggs, muffins, pancakes, meat loafs, ham and turkey sandwiches and fried mushrooms.

        Liam is half machine, half human. But sadly, there's only a small percentage of his humanity left in him due to repetition of memory termination. Louis didn't want to do it but his superior left him no choice. He didn't want to be kick out of the team, because he vowed to help the boy become a human again. He has the strength of a hundred men, and abnormal speed. He's also equipped with weapons though not heavy ones but enough to cause death. He's the perfect soldier, but the imperfect human. 

"It there something wrong Dr. Tomlinson?" Liam asked genuinely worried. For whatever reason, he likes Dr. Tomlinson. They don't talk much, well on his side that is, but he likes when Dr. Tomlinson tries rant about his job or about his mother. Louis rolled his eyes when Liam calls him 'Dr. Tomlinson'. He tried to tell Liam that it's okay to call him Louis but Liam was stubborn as a machine. 

"Nothing,..I'm fine Sargent Payne," Louis replied, causing the younger lad to frown. Louis saw Liam's brown eye turns bright blue, a sign that he was using his medical scanner. 

"Override protocol code 1437- LP. Emergency shut down sensor and scanner," Louis spoke monotonously and immediately, the sensors and scanner in Liam's body stopped working. Liam forwns deepened as Louis' grin grew bigger. There's only three people in this world that has voice recognition capability towards Liam and those people are Dr. Louis Tomlinson, Captain Harry Styles and head division Lieutenant Simon Cowell. "I'm fine Liam,...I don't like it when you use that creepy scanner on me. I'm fine, it's you that I'm worried about. We're programmed men, you and I, that's why we should look after each other." 

"I'm sorry Dr. Tomlinson. I didn't mean to overstep my bounderies," Liam apologized. 

"It's fine. You do know that you passed out in this house for nearly a week right?" Louis sighed,"After your last mission, when they brought you in, you were barely breathing and your left hand was nearly detached from you body. I nearly had a heart attack you know?"

"I don't - I can't remember anything that happened during that mission," Liam replied, annoyance and anger was present in his voice. "I'm sorry Dr. Tomlinson, you shouldn't have to worry about my condition," 

"I want to worry about your condition Liam. Now eat up, I need to do a major check up on your shoulder," Louis sighed. He didn't to ask Liam, he knows the boy inside out, literally. 

+++ 

"Damn it!" Louis snapped as a wire snapped, sending electricity to shoot through his hand. He had cut out the piece of fake skin of Liam's shoulder, trying to fix the aching problem. Pain sensors was installed in the fake or bionics parts of Liam as a sign that there was problem. Liam sat still on the recliner as Louis does his jobs. All the equipment needed tp repair Mr. Robocop is already available in Liam's apartment courtesy of Dr. Tomlinson himself. 

"Is everything alright Dr. Tomlinson?" Liam asked formally. 

"Fine," He grumbled as he went back inspecting the mechanical shoulder. There were wires, steel connectors and steel plates. "I can't believe I sent you home without giving you a proper inspection" 

        Liam's body connection was practically connected to the computers in Louis' lab computers. He knows when Liam is asleep or awake, or where there is a problem with any of his bionic parts. 

"Dr. Tomlinson?" 

"Yes Liam?" Louis replied with much softer tone. 

"Are we being monitored right now?" 

"Monitored? You mean our conversation?' Louis asked, tilting his head up to look at Liam. 

"Yes," 

"No Liam," Louis chuckled "The military doesn't monitor our conversation 24/7,...as if I would allow that," 

The next question threw Louis off, catching him off guard. 

"Are we friends Dr. Tomlinson?" 

"I would like to think so Liam," Louis replied, going back to the task at hand. "Did you finish the books I gave you?" 

        One of his personal side project it making Liam a human again. With human reaction and human feelings -not that he doesn't have them, he is just unfamiliar with them. Louis wants to train -subtlely- on those emotions and he hopes one day that Liam can learn to love again. 

"The Fault In Our Star?" Liam asked, a hint on happiness present in his voice. The truth was, Liam reread that book twenty times in two months "It's a nice book Dr. Tomlinson, I really enjoyed myself,"

"That's it? I practically turn into waterworks and fireworks reading that novel," Louis chuckled, reminiscing the the first time he read that book. John Green is a legend - he plans on giving the book Looking For Alaska to Liam. 

"That's the thing about pain" Augustus said, and then glance back at me. "It demands to be felt" -chapter four, paragraph 110," Liam recited his favourite quote from the book. "What does that mean Dr. Tomlinson," 

"No matter how strong and invincible you are, you will feel and suffer pain but it's alright, it means you care, or cared for," Louis tries to explain as best as he can. He himself should feel worried about teaching someone else about love, since he himself had never experience love first hand. 

"Pains,..demands to be felt," Liam repeated. He had never denied the pain he felt each time he experience his dream, the only dream he had for the past six years. In fact, he welcomed it. 

"There,..all done," Louis sighed happily, patching up the skin with a special spray that creates an artificial skin. "Now let's talk about your new mission," 

"My new mission?" Liam asked, a tad confused as he sat up properly. He flexed his shoulder and biceps a few times, making Louis gawk at the half-mechanical boy. "I thought that only Captain Styles has the authority to breif me with mission details?" 

"That Captain Banana-D*ck can take a hike. After you last mission, I had requested that you'll only be given mission that I approve," Louis says with a smug look on his face. "So,.... you're next mission is a security detail mission. You'll be guarding a 22 year old male with a precious cargo  that belongs to the government with him...

..his name is Zayn Malik,"
