»20« Jericho

"I've never fell in love, I save those feelings for you"

Y/N's POV:

Connor leads me through the whole town, with a series of symbols until we reach a giant ship. Now I can see why only androids could find Jericho...

Connor helps me down and we stand there, staring at the ship. "They stay here... and no one ever expected it" I say. "It's smart" Connor says.

We head inside and search around until we find a open door. We go through and see androids everywhere...

Giant tv's playing the news about the protest the androids put on. All of these androids... they just want to be free...

Me and Connor walk through all the androids, they don't even suspect me to be human, I look like them...

"What are we looking for exactly?" I ask. "Not what, who, the deviant leader, Markus" Connor says. "We should split up, there's androids everywhere, staying together won't solve anything" I say.

Connor nods and we split ways.

So it's Markus... the android I helped, the one that was carrying the paint. He became the deviant leader...

I go over toward a fire... is that?

....

It's the AX400 and the little girl, they're also with a taller male Android now. They look so happy... like a family...

I turn around and walk up the stairs. My heart is beating so fast. What if I get caught? They won't kill me... right?

I reach the top of the stairs and hear a way too familiar barking. Wait... is it-

I turn around and look toward the barking. It is! I see Boomer with an Android... Markus...

I can't help myself, I rush toward the puppy. Boomer turns to me and runs to me. He jumps into my lap and I hug him tightly.

"You're okay! You're here! I don't know what I would've done if I lost you..." I start to cry. Boomer begins to lick my face. "I missed you too bud" I smile.

Markus stands up and looks at me.

"I remember you... you helped me when those protesters were beating me up..." Markus says. I realize what I've done... he knows I'm human.

"I'm not here to hurt you-" before I can finish my sentence I'm cut off.

"No, it's fine, you proved to me that there's humans out there that will stand with us" Markus says. Do I tell him?... Should I mention that my only reason to be here is to hunt deviants? No... why would I do that?

"H-...how did you find Boomer? And why didn't you call me? My phone number is on the back of his..." I check his collar, my number is scratched out...

"One of our people found him in the streets, they brought him here and I took care of him, I knew that name, Y/N, was so familiar to me" Markus says. "Thank you!" I hug Markus.

I quickly pull away. "I'm sorry!" I say. "No worries, I don't mind" Markus says.

I sit down with Markus. "So you're the deviant leader?" I ask. "I guess so... honestly, you were one of the reasons why I opened my eyes to realize everything, you showed me empathy..." Markus says.

"How did you get here? Only androids can find Jericho" Markus says. "I-... had the help of another android" I say. "Who is it?" Markus asks.

I can't tell him it's Connor... I'm sure they already know about him. "I'm not sure, I just asked an Android I knew, and he lead me here" I say. "Oh... well I'm glad you're safe, and don't worry, you're one the humans I trust, I won't tell anyone" Markus says.

"Thank you so much! Also, thanks again for keeping my puppy safe" I smile. "Of course, it was the most I could do... anyway, I have work to do, be safe" Markus leaves.

I look down at Boomer and hug him again. I'm so glad to have him back...

~~~~

I head downstairs to look for Connor. I can't tell him I found Markus. Speaking of which... I need to hide Boomer from him too, or he'll get suspicious.

Where do I hide him?

I look over to the AX400 and the little girl. Them.

I rush over to them. "Excuse me, I was wondering if you'd be able to watch my puppy for a while, it won't be long, I promise" I say.

The AX400 looks at the taller man for a second, she seemed hesitant.

"What's it's name?" The little girl asks. "His name is Boomer" I say softly. She holds her arms out and I hand her Boomer. Boomer immediately starts jumping all around her. "I think he likes you" I smile.

"Can you please take care of him while I'm gone? I promise it won't be long" I say.

"We can" The AX400 says. "Great, thank you, my name is Y/N by the way" I say. "Im Kara, this is Alice, and that's Luther" Kara says.

"It's nice to meet you all, I have someone to find, I'll see you all soon!" I wave them bye.

Now to find Connor...

Connor's POV:

I watched as the deviant, North, walked out and down the stairs.

I close my eyes and see Amanda. "Keep it alive" She says.

I open my eyes and pull out my gun. Keep Markus alive...

Y/N's POV:

I see an android walk through everywhere, she has brown hair braided to her shoulder, and she's wearing different clothes than everyone else. Maybe she knows.

I walk over to her and tap her shoulder. "Excuse, did you see an android with brown hair, brown eyes, and he's wearing jeans, a brown jacket with a hoodie underneath, and a beanie" I try my best to explain everything.

"No I haven't, but you can try searching the top deck, there's a few other androids up there" she says. "Okay, thank you!" I say, taking off to the top deck.

I reach the top deck and look around. He's not here... there's only a handful of other androids here, Connor isn't one of them.

I turn around and find stairs leading to the very top of the ship. Maybe he went up there?

I go up the stairs and look around. It's so beautiful up here, but there's no time to admire the view.

I go into what I assume is the control room, I peek around the corner and see Connor pointing a gun toward Markus, while Markus is slowly approaching Connor.

What do I do? I look at the gun in my back pocket. I have too...

"Put the gun down Connor" I say. Connor turns around toward me. I'm pointing the pistol at him.

"I'm not afraid to shoot, I know you'll come back anyway!" I say louder. "Throw the gun away!" I say.

"Y/N..." Connor sounded... scared, or heartbroken.

"Now!" I command. Connor throws the gun away, he holds his hands up. "I'm unarmed" Connor says. "Come here, I want you to stand out here" I say. Connor walks to me and stands beside me. I keep my gun pointed at Connor.

"Markus, go, I'll take care of Connor" I tell Markus to leave. He runs out of the room and down the stairs. At least I don't have to worry about Connor hurting him.

"I know you won't hurt me" I put my gun down. "But Connor... I realize now that these deviants are alive! They only want to be free! I've seen families, lovers, and so much empathy in these androids, maybe it's best we leave them alone" I say.

Connor didn't seem to agree with me. "No... they're just machines! These are simply errors in their programs-" I cut Connor off.

"So the time you risked your life for mine by jumping off that building? That was only an error in your program? Or the time you and Boomer had a cute competition, only an error? Or how about when you helped my bullet wound and told me to look and only focus on you, and you took me to the hospital... was it only an error in your program?" I look into Connor's eyes.

He's at a loss for words.

"You need more? The time I lost Boomer and someone broke into my apartment, you knew how stressed out I was and you comforted me! When I didn't want to eat, you still left out food for me because you knew I was going to eat anyway! You hugged me because you knew I was sad, you knew I needed someone to be there for me! You showed me more empathy than any human has ever shown me!" I get closer to Connor.

"Or was it all just an error in your program?"
