Chapter V: K
"Wow to think no one ever guessed that." Nico said with a laugh as they team was back at Zion piecing together on Batman.
"So wait wait. To get this information on Batman now he's coming after us?!" Espie said sounding panicky. "Should't we like be ready for an attack?"
"Nah i already took out the trackers he put in you guys." Neo said typing away not oblivious to the reactions of the team in shock.
"He had trackers in us?!" Espie said in complete anger. Sam and Skylar tried to calm her down but couldn't.
"Yes and i had my androids remove them for you."
"Bruh why didn't you remove the trackers yourself i wouldn't want an android to remove them!"
"Because i can't see." Neo said sharply.
"You have all this technology to make androids but you can't see a simple tracker?" Espie said pointing at an android.
"Well for starters Espie, he's blind." Aiden said shaking his head in sorrow. Espie stopped talking and turned to a smiling Neo.
"Your blind?" She said very shockingly stopping as Neo nodded.
"I am named Neo not only cause i hack. It's all good you didn't know." Neo said with a laugh as Korrina walked in with something covered in her arms.
"Was this the android you wanted?" Korrina said placing it down in front of Neo.
"Yes it is. I'd like you to meet K." Neo smiled as he took off the cover to show the android which seemed more human than android. It was a mangled body of flesh and robot that the team has seen before.
"Is that that one girl?" Nico said confused as he looked at what remains of the original human it was.
"It's Kayden.." Skylar said pointing at the mangled body. She was completely naked missing three of her limbs and an eye. Her blonde hair was almost all shaved from her head.
"She beautiful." Neo said with a smile as Korrina rolled her eyes.
"Yeah yeah but you can't see her." She retorted.
"But i can build her back." He said then tapped her on the chest. "Wake."
And just like that Kayden gasped for air, trying to look around seeing where she is and trying to adjust.
"W-w-where am i?! I-i-i died." She said looking around with one eye then turned her head and saw the team.
"Surprise!" Kyle said with a little sarcasm but it seemed to set her off.
"DONT LET HIM NEAR ME! HE'LL KILL ME AGAIN!!" She flailed around trying to get away not realizing she didn't have any limbs.
"I feel like we should all leave." Kyle said rubbing the back of his head and left the room. The rest of the team sides Nico and Parker left to do other things.
Neo looked down at the body of Kayden who was still shaking. She began to speak again but more scared.
"How am i alive! I died!" She said blinking her eyes to make sure this wasn't a dream. Neo started to stroke her hair.
"You were decimated yes, but i want to help fix you. Your quite beautiful you know, i saw what you had left and tried to make you more. Now you have an artificial heart but i don't believe you have artificial feelings."
"That's beautiful.." Kayden said starting to blink.
"But he's blind though!" Nico said with a laugh as Neo turned and shook his head.
"I still have others who can help me see. Now let's begin fixing you."

Espie got out the elevator to enter the top floor on zion: a huge beautiful zen garden. She walked along the path and view as the streams and the trees.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" A voice said from behind her as she whipped around to see an android standing right behind her. "Im sorry. Did i scare you?"
"Uh yeah you kinda did." Espie said taking some breaths. "Why are you here anyways?"
The android raised a hand to point at the highest hill were the waterfall was flowing over a huge drop about 300 meters high. There standing was SK without a mask and his sword right next to him in the ground. Espie slowly walked up towards him.
"I knew you were here. Your quite loud" He said with a quiet laugh. SK sat down on a bench right next to the waterfall.
"You okay SK?" Espie said sitting right next to him on the bench.
"SK.. Why do you call me that when you know my real name?"
"Well the people call you Austin seem to have known you for a while or are killers. And it feels weird as i've known you only as SK."
SK paused for a second then began talking again. "Are you afraid of me?"
Espie looked at him and shook his head. "Really i don't know. I don't know you but judging from what everyone says about you, your quite a character. Now i know your not up here just to ponder, so what are you thinking about?"
"How i'm going to tell Carter we need a break."
"Your breaking up with Carter?" Espie said quite shocked.
"No. A break." SK said shortly. "Her and I seem to be drifting apart really. I don't know how i feel about her anymore, but i still love her."
"Sometimes you hurt the ones you love the most Austin; that's life." Espie said shrugging.
"Pssh like you and Darcy." SK said with a laugh.
Espie blushed heavily. "H-h-how did you-"
"It's me what do you except. I know all the relationship and who likes who on this team."
"Really then who likes me?" Espie said giving him a little laugh.
"Renee."
"Renee?"
"Renee. And it's quite obvious too." SK said with a shrug.
"I guess i really didn't see her like that. If you are so smart then who do i like?"
"Well for starters i know that you like Renee so there was no need to lie."
"Shit" Espie blushed.
"But you like Darcy and i get a strange vibe you like me?"
Espie stood there shocked as she was trying to figure out what to say next. "I'm sorry that i had feelings for you."
"Don't be sorry Espinoza. Your an amazing leader who i hold a ton of respect for in all the work you do. Your feelings for me will not take away how i treat you." SK said getting up. "I better.. go talk to Carter."
"Thank you Austin." Espie said as Austin waved back at her and left to the elevator. Espie got up but turned to look at the waterfall. "How much did you here Renee?"
"A lot." Renee said appearing through the water. "I didn't mean to really i swear! I was looking for you."
"Renee, i don't blame you for anything." She said walking up to her and putting a hand on her face.
"I guess you know i like you." Renee said putting her hand on Espie's hand.
"I guess i do." Espie said as she leaned over and kissed Renee and embraced her.
"Ah romantic!" Said the android watching as the two just laughed.

"Something on your mind master Darcy?" Alfred said as Darcy was sitting on a table with her hand on her chin.
"Oh uh just the past." She said glumly. Alfred didn't know what to say but Ezra was right behind her.
"Ah cheer up Darcy we did the right thing you know." Ezra said sitting down next to her and giving her a big hug.
"Yeah i know but-but they were my friends. Hell, they used to be the only family i had."
"Hey hey it's all good. I had to leave my sister and i loved her too Darcy." Ezra said stroking her hair. "You wanna see them again don't you?"
"Well your in luck." Batman said walking in with his computer. "I think i just found them."
