#{the robot can totally see Ely and pick a fight at first if it wants}

[themultiversebundle]

It was a disappointment to know Ely had lost the element of surprise. If he had his way he wouldn't have revealed himself at all. But that was expecting too much and he knew it. At least now with the attention split, it was easier to take them all out. Maybe the red hedgehog wasn't the strongest fighter, but at least he knew how to take robots out.

His ears were perked up to listen for any noise of movement from the robots before he moved a little farther out of his hiding spot than before to confirm with his eyes. His attention snapping to Dan at the sound of the other's voice.

"Yeah, I-" He never got a chance to fully respond to the question as he watched the demonhog suddenly fly by him, causing Ely to immediately duck back into his hiding spot. His eyes were wide as he he shifted to search for what had caused the damage.

That... was not Metal Sonic.

Ely knew the robotic copy very well to know something wasn't quite right here. Not to mention he couldn't really imagine Metal Sonic coming after them. That robot was usually more interested in the actual Sonic the hedgehog most of the time. Was this a new attempt at improving Metal?

What was more concerning was the pieces of information Ely was putting together. This robot was obviously trying to replicate Metal Sonic, which meant it was most likely way more powerful than his stupid little dart gun would be able to to deal with. Dan was injured and despite trying to seem alright, Ely knew he wasn't at full power which mean this fight might be more of a problem than they would like.

And Ely knew how to fight- and might have a slightly higher healing factor- but he knew he wasn't good at a long fight. He would probably last a handful of moments before defeated if he didn't act quickly enough to power the robot down.

'We need that emerald.'

Sure enough the few bots that would shut down from the impact of the darts would soon garner the attention of the remaining tougher ones, especially leading machine who was seemingly giving the orders to this batch.

'There is a second intruder? The breach is worse than anticipated, alerting remaining security and dispatching.....'

It never got to finish its words as the fewer numbers and the fire been split up between the duo in different directions, it gave the demon-hog enough of a gap to resume his advance, starting with a sharp shadowy projectile of his own, cleanly tearing through the head of the ringleader!

No sooner than the rest had taken notice would they too begin to get picked off, if not by the demon's own ranged attacks but by Ely having more opportunities to peak out.

"I thought that thing was never going to shut up." Dan would speak once the cost appeared to be relatively clear, the alarms were still blaring but for now it seemed like another minor victory. "You ok back there?" He'd call over to where he'd seen the darts flying from.

Though no sooner had Dan spoken would the sound of metal meeting flesh at high speed was heard with a crunching smack! Ely would have a clear view of the dark one being sent flying past his hiding spot and slamming into the walls of the corridor behind him. Even if it was a sight usually wished for, probably not in these circumstances.

Clearly whatever signal the former commander had sent out had been enough to draw the attention of something more significant, as it appeared to be a metallic hedgehog standing on the other side now after having blindsided Dan, was it Metal Sonic?

It may have resembled the infamous machine in some format, but something was off, it couldn't be the genuine article.

Thanks for replying! Could you possibly link the rp blog? I love your headcanons! What do the Cobras and Miyagi-Dos think of them? I like to think one of the characters in canon came up with their ship name, who do you think it was?- Cherry

But of course, Cherry!!! Those headcanons were so fun to write :D It’s honestly one of my favorite headcanon/ask posts that I’ve done, I think. I love thinking about how Johnny would react to Hawk and Demetri dating XD And writing that paragraph about how I think Demetri and Eli met was honestly the most fun ride haha

@sipping--snowflakes runs a Demetri RPG blog I think, it’s @binarybrother1! Idk if it’s still active, you’ll have to hit them up about that. I also think @hawkxatxheart​ RPs as Hawk and ships the binary boyfriends, if you want to hit them up too!

Aight screw it, Imma do the most complete analysis I can XD

Miguel ships it SO hard XD Like Miguel is a very smart and intuitive person who seems pretty good at picking up on emotions and such (he was able to almost instantly call bullshit on Kreese’s war stories, IIRC), so I’m almost certain that he picked up that there were Some Kinda Vibes going on with those two from day fucking one. But obviously he doesn’t wanna outright say anything, especially not at a school where kids will get bullied for literally ANYTHING and something like kids being gay for each other could legit put a target on both their backs if it got out. So he lets these boys figure shit out on their own time but is also like “...yeah, they’ll realize it eventually, I’m sure.” XD And you dun best believe he just went “ohhhhh my godddddd” when they fell out and developed a super intense rivalry because he’s like guys??? Do you NOT realize being that obsessed with fucking with each other...kinda means you’re obsessed WITH each other??? Even though you both have other friends now??? Doesn’t seem like normal best friend behavior :/ But of course our boy doesn’t want to interfere unless it gets really bad--and he’s got his own issues to deal with, anyhow. I imagine after the dojos join and Demetri and Eli start dating after a while, Miguel is just like “FUCKING FINALLY!!! Sam pay up, you owe me 20 bucks!!!” He’s so happy they finally dragged their heads out of their asses and realized they loved each other, because man, you can bet your ass Miguel knew they did from the get-go.

Sam I think I’ve touched on a fair bit in my other posts so I won’t get into a whole big long thing, but she’s...certainly leery of them dating at first, mainly because she remembers Demetri’s issues with Eli are what pushed him to join Miyagi-Do in the first place, and she witnessed him breaking Dem’s arm so she’s pretty...not crazy about Eli XD But Miguel and Demetri both vouch for Eli a LOT, and reassure Sam over and over that he’s a good guy at heart and just let Kreese get in his head and fell victim to his brainwashing for a while. Sam comes around to the idea after a while, and she can see how happy he makes Demetri and ultimately trusts Demetri to be smart enough to not date someone who’s going to treat him badly. Then eventually she and Eli bond over what a fuck Kyler is (he bullied Sam too, don’t forget!!! And they DATED, so the thing he did with the blowjob rumors was a HUGE violation of the pretty intimate trust you have with a partner) and after that she is VERY on board with him and Demetri dating XD

Chris is...Not A Fan, to put it lightly XD Like he saw firsthand how much of a fuck Hawk was to him and Mitch when they first joined Cobra Kai and how he basically hazed them both for funsies because he let the tournament win get to his head. And hell, HE was one of the ones who got sicced on Demetri in the mall and tried to get Hawk to back down, and SAW that he wouldn’t. And when Hawk was about to go after Demetri at Moon’s party, Chris was the first Miyagi-Do to step in and protect him. And, of course, he saw Hawk break Demetri’s arm, too. So he’s no stranger to the antagonism Hawk has always had for Demetri in particular, and doesn’t trust that it’s completely gone. However, Chris is a pretty down-to-earth and reasonable dude, so with a LOT of vouching from Demetri, I can see him coming around eventually. Also if he was willing to give Mitch a second chance, ain’t no reason he can’t do the same for Hawk. And Mitch would probably vouch for Hawk too, after he and Chris became friends again--after all, Mitch DID end up becoming pretty good friends with Hawk after all the hazing stuff. So ultimately Chris ends up being at least civil with Hawk, but he sometimes glares at him when no one’s looking like “I’ve got my eye on you, you’d better not hurt my bro or there’s gonna be hell to pay”

Mitch is fairly indifferent, I think, although he DOES find the irony of Hawk now being head-over-heels smitten with the same dude he sent him to beat up in the mall and the same dude who told everyone Hawk wets the bed to be IMMENSELY hilarious. He loves to tease Hawk about it, like “Man, what would you have done a year ago if you’d known you’re now regularly making out with that shrimpy little nerd???” and Hawk is like “oh my god shut UP” but then he turns away and smirks because the joke is on Mitch--he TOTALLY still liked Demetri through All That Mess Last Year, he just...had a very poor way of processing it XD

I imagine Bert kinda looks up to Hawk as an older brother figure (there’s a snippet I’ve seen some gifs of of Hawk teaching him how to block and it’s actually really cute--huge Big Bro/Little Bro Energy) and probably also admires Demetri quite a bit for trying to protect him and Nate during the Christmas party fight, so he’s definitely on board!!! His two honorary big brothers dating--he’s thrilled!!! Nate not so much, since you dun best believe he still remembers Hawk and his goons “kicking the fucking shit out of him” XD Nonetheless, Nate probably also has a soft spot for Demetri for trying to protect him, so with lots of vouching from Demetri (and Bert too, once he and Nate are friends again), he eventually comes around to the idea of Hawk and Demetri dating.

ON TO THE SECOND QUESTION, FINALLY!

I actually think Aisha is the one who comes up with their ship name!!! XD Allow me to elaborate--so at some point Aisha comes back (because fuck it, I miss her), either to join the new merged dojo or just to visit, because ain’t no one telling me she didn’t keep in touch with at least SAM and visit occasionally if she was still in the city or general area. So she walks into the dojo to go see Sam and her other friends and start catching up with everyone, and--oh, Sam and Miguel are in the same weird, combined karate dojo now that isn’t Miyagi-Do OR Cobra Kai??? Super wack, but okay. Then she sees Demetri and Hawk holding hands and her eyes get really wide and she’s like “Wait, you two are DATING now??? That’s...kind of gross :/”

And Demetri and Hawk just freeze up for a hot sec because is Aisha of all people about to be judgmental??? But then she immediately follows up with “Well, aren’t you the binary brothers? I don’t know if I can get behind incest, guys.” And Hawk just breaks out snickering and is like “Shit, man, she’s right. We should probably update that.” And Demetri’s like “NO WAIT I GOT THIS” and then he just goes “dEmEtRi aNd eLi, BiNaRy BoYfRiEnDs” complete with the super cringey robot arm and Eli is like “Oh my GOD I am GOING to kill you” as the entire dojo proceeds to Lose Their Shit.

Also you dun best believe that literally every picture Aisha takes with Hawk and Demetri after they all start hanging out again (because I WANT THEM TO, FIGHT ME) is captioned things like “Chillin’ with the binary boyfriends!” “Eating tacos with the binary boyfriends!” “Doing karate with the binary boyfriends!” and before too long she refuses to refer to Demetri and Eli as anything else XD

Also yes I know Moon was also there during the Binary Brothers scene but she most likely wouldn’t be cheeky and tease them about it later. Aisha absolutely WOULD.

Sheet of Ice : chapter 5

Hi people!!!

Here is my 5th chapter of HankGav <3

Hope you’ll have fun!

You knw what to do!!

Chapter 05: I need help

 Sat on his sofa, Gavin wasn’t really watching the TV. It was a pretty shitty emission and he would certainly not look that if Elijah wasn’t totally fan of one of the actor. Phone against his ear, he listened the man commented what they were watching. Sometime, he’ll do it too but less often. He just wanted to hear a voice he liked as he couldn’t sleep at all. While the man was talking, he looked cases on his phone and discovered sometime clue or even who was the criminal… whatever the crime was.

He scratched his arm. Maybe he really was workaholic and maybe he really needed to stop but… he didn’t have much in his life, soo…

“Did you see that?”

“Yeah. Robin should really stop to get Martine, he won’t get anything from her. She’s a slut.”

It was a SOAP opera about robot. Mostly. And Elijah liked it very much even if the robots were really like Humans. They couldn’t have sex but they tried to find the perfect mate. Robin chased after Martine because she promised love to him but she was in fact in love with a Human. A strong Alpha so, as she couldn’t become an Omega, she was really sad and had already try to kidnap a baby to please him. This time, Gavin really hoped Martine will die but nop. The audience liked her so she came back with a new arm really shiny and that was all.

A ring made Gavin moaning.

Just a bit.

“Something wrong? Is it because Celyn has thrown Po away. Again?”

“She pisses me off too. God. The guy said he was the one who killed Humans for her and since he’s in jail, she won’t wait for him? She’ll be the perfect partner for Martine!”

“Yeah… I ship it too!”

“By the way, I’ve another call. Watch, you’ll tell me what happened after.” Gavin didn’t wait to pick up the phone.

Just on time. In fact, he cut the conversation there because if he wouldn’t have, his cousin would keep him for hours!

“Yeah?” he said.

“It’s me, Connor. I’m at Lieutenant Anderson’s house and…”

“What, plastic pet?”

“I think, he needs you,” he said in a tiny voice. “He had a bad dream, I think, and he wants beer. He’s mad…”

“Why do you call me, you prick?”

“Because you love him, isn’t it, Detective Reed? And he loves you. Having you there will prevent him to fall in alcohol again. He just needs you,” Connor pleaded, really uneasy.

“Oh, yeah?” Gavin frowned and squeezed the phone. “I’m coming… Keep him at home.”

“Thank you, Detective Reed.”

Gavin hung up and he looked toward the TV before taking back his cousin.

“Eli’?”

“Yes?”

“I need to go. We talk later, okay?”

“Yes. Take care”

“Take care.”

Gavin hung up again and though he should said “I love you” to him too. But now, he didn’t have time…

  Hank was mad. Really mad. Even Sumo was barking, trying to stop his Master who wanted to go outside. He needed to go in the bar or even in a stupid supermarket where he could buy thousand and thousand beer. And then, he’ll drink them. Every beer he could drink.  Connor was in front of the door and Hank pushed him fiercely.

“Get the fuck out of there, you fuckin’ Android!”

Connor closed his eyes but tried to force him to rise against the man. It was for him.

“It’s enough, Lieutenant!”

“Fuck you!”

Hank pushed him again but instead of trying to get out, he turned around and went to his window. He opened it and Sumo jumped toward him and bite his trousers, tugged on it.

“Leave, you stupid d…”

“Lieutenant, no!” Connor shouted.

He ran toward him and took his arm, pulled him away from the window. Hank was ready to hit them both. The Android could support that but he couldn’t stand the dog to be harmed.

He heard the bell rang but Hank was ready to kick Sumo. Connor passed his feet around his ankle to push him on the floor. Sumo barked and retreated a bit, tail between his legs.

“Please, Lieutenant. Try to stay calm.”

“Fuck you!”

Hank punched wildly Connor. His nose cracked and some blue liquid slide from his nostril. However, the Android fought against the fear and took him to keep him in the floor. Since the man was shaking, it was easier and harder to keep him in the right place and stop him to do something he’ll regret.

A new and long sound came from the entry.

“It’s the first hours that are the most difficult but you can do it, Lieutenant! Think at the joy you’ll feel.”

“You don’t get it! I’m a monster. I fucked everything and I had nothing!”

“It wasn’t your fault, Lieutenant!”

“It was when I broke up with Gavin!”

The bell rang again, longer.

“You couldn’t know since he said nothing to you. Don’t throw everything away! You wanted to change. Why?”

“For him! And he doesn’t want me anymore! Just the sex to bear his heat because he’s mine!”

“Yeah, not really. I supported that while three years, don’t need to be fucked.”

Hank rose his head to see Gavin in the entry. He closed the door and smiled while folding his arms.

“Guys, when someone rang, come to open. It’s manners.”

“Wha… What are you doing there?” Hank asked, agape.

“Plastic prick called me. I don’t know if I’m impressed or pissed off, you still but the ‘hidden’ key in the same place.”

“You… You’re really there? Wh… Why?”

The old man couldn’t get it when he looked that guy he loved so much. He was in a worn trousers with hole here and there, one knee exposed to eye, threadbare in many place and he had a long dark sweatshirt with a why ‘Ok. But first, coffee.’

“Thank you for coming, Detective. You can… do something?” Connor asked, feeling a little stupid.

“Of course, I can. Don’t interfere with Humans, plastic prick.”

As he walked, Gavin brought his hand behind his neck and he pressed the button to free his flesh.

“Gavin…”

Hank wanted to say he didn’t need to do that but the true was that his apparition shocked him but now, he felt again the drug-seeking. If he didn’t take alcohol soon, that’ll rotten him and he could never erase the images torturing him…

He watched Gavin kneels beside him and bent his head. Hank moved and bit him fiercely. Immediately, blood slide along his skin and sweet perfume come out from him. It acted on the Lieutenant like a new drug and erased the old one. With that smell, and the feeling irradiating him, he didn’t need anything. Just to bit.

Connor felt awkward to assist at that. Especially when he saw Gavin’s expression. The way he closed his eyes, clenched his teeth. First, he wanted to hide his eyes but then, he let out:

“I’ll make coffee, okay?” Then, he rose up and went to the kitchen.

Gavin didn’t reply and waited. Hank needed to fill his underwent. It wasn’t the only way to calm Hank but it was the quicker.

Few days ago, Gavin needed to feel the bit because it was only love and bonding but now… Hank loved him, he knew it but that made him sick to be like that. At his mercy… Waiting to be free. At least his lover was too excited by the act and want something more… Why was he born like that? Why he couldn’t just leave and let Hank drown in his problem instead of humiliating himself?!

He felt a hand on his hair and closed his eyes even more it was possible. The pain stopped as he received soft caress on his head.

“I’m sorry,” a tender voice said on his ear.

“It’s okay…”

“You know like me, it’s not.” Hank caressed his cheek. You’re not my Omega, you’re my mate. My true love.”

Gavin didn’t reply at first then opened his mouth. “Do you feel better?”

“A bit…”

“I’ll stay tonight.” Gavin got up and rubbed his neck. When he looked his hand, it was full of blood.

Hank got up too and took him in his arms. Gavin closed his eyes when he started to feel the kiss on the mark.

“I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“I know. I choose to come.” He gave a little smile to Hank. “What do you want? Go to bed? Playing at something?”

Hank caressed his neck, with love and softness, and little red droplets came on his fingers…

“Being with you?”

“Cute.” Gavin smiled a bit, didn’t want to truly hurt the man.

Not anymore.

Hank bent and licked the irony liquid, cleaning him with tenderness. Gavin closed his eyes and let him do. It was soft and he shivered a little under the attention. He felt the tongue against his ear with love. A love he carved so much for…

“I had nightmare… I see him die on it. I see you hurt on it. Very hurt… I don’t want to dream again.”

“You can’t fight against your dreams.”

“Look your darks circles,” Hank replied.

“Yeah. Workaholic, you know. Go sleep.”

“I can’t. Not now. My head is… so fucking fuzzy. I need… I know everything will disappear if I take one glass. Just one!”

“You’re right. Everything will disappear, Hank,” Gavin said softly, caressing his face.

“I know you’ll understand,” the man sighed, feeling reassuring.

“You don’t get it, Hank. Everything will disappear. So I am.”

Hank clenched his teeth.

“If you don’t want to sober, okay. But…”

“It’s the only thing you ask?” Hank muttered.

“I don’t phcking care, ya know? It’s better for you. Don’t want to feel good? To live longer?”

“For what?”

“Take a guess?”

Gavin paced backward and came toward Sumo to pet him with a tiny smile on his lips.

“Detective Reed?”

“Yeah, tin can?”

“I made coffee for you. Do I throw it immediately in the trash or…”

“You…” Gavin smiled and reached to receive the coffee. He drank on the mug then walked toward the door.

“It’s not I don’t want to stop. If not it’s killing me, little by little and for long, it was what I wanted. I couldn’t kill myself because I was afraid? I tried to stay hang to something? I lost everything and whatever I’ll do, you were still there, in my live. I hated you and I loved you. It was awful. And…I don’t know what it was for you…I wanted to kill me and I was to coward to do it.”

“Don’t say that. Killing yourself is not an act of power. Killing is never it. You’re a damn cop, you should know it!”

“But sometimes, you must do it. And I wanted so much to be with Cole again. I didn’t have anything here. You don’t…”

“NO!” Gavin turned toward him. “No! Because I thought about you every fucking time! My live was over for absolutely no reason and I was a mess. A phcking mess! I even don’t know how Eli’ could bear me at this time! I’m not sure he can now! I thought about you, how you’ll feel because… yeah, I was stupid enough to believe you still loved me! And there was Eli’ too. I couldn’t let him down.”

“I always loved you, Gavin. I swear to god. But I thought you’ll pass over me. That you’ll…”

“Plunge in work,” Gavin completed, bitter.

“Yeah…”

The Detective let out a cold chuckle then drank on his mug.

Connor was sat on the floor, caressing Sumo to calm him and he looked the two arguing, without knowing what he needed to do.

Gavin sighed and walked toward Hank.

“I asked you to stop drinking but if you have so much fun with your booze, go on. I don’t care. It’s for you, because I care for you but…” He shook his head. “I don’t care, Hank.”

“But… will you vanish?” he asked.

The other man looked him.

“Do you really mind what I can think?”

“Of course.”

Gavin shrugged.

“It’s your life, Hank.”

“And I want… need you on it. I really need you to be a part of my life. I lost you for way too much time. I did everything to forget you but I just couldn’t. I love you so much I can’t bear it. Look… You’re here and I forget the alcohol.”

“Thank you.” He rose his mug. “Won’t forget the coffee.” He closed his eyes. “But…I’m glad if I can help ya. And if you really wanna stop, I’m there. I swear.”

Hank looked him.

“I need help.”

Gavin nodded. He looked toward Connor who lowered his head, faking to don’t have listened and watched for minutes.

“Okay. Time to go to bed everyone,” Gavin said.

“Woof!”

“Okay. Someone needs to go in the bathroom?” asked Connor.

“Phcking Androids, need to? God, I need to hit Eli’”

“Well, I can’t pee but I can take a bath or a shower. But I…” Connor shut his mouth as he saw Hank making move to him.

“But youuu?” Gavin said before drinking.

“I…”

“Hank, stop disturbing the tin can. Tin can, reply. Or you only follow Lieutenant Anderson order?” He moved toward Connor, smile on his lips.

Strange smile.

“The bathroom is his room.”

Gavin frowned and turned the head toward Hank.

“What the phck? You let the kid sleep in the bathroom? Or not sleep, I don’t care, tin can.”

“I asked for it.”

“He asked for it,” Hank said.

“Let him sleep in the sofa!” Gavin shouted.

“Yes, but I sleep in the sofa.”

Gavin passed his hand on his hair with a sigh. He put down his mug, grabbed Connor and leaded him to Hank’s room.

“I’m not sure it’s a good thing,” muttered Connor.

“Shut up. Why did you even ask for sleep in a phcking bathroom?” He wanted to push open the door but a hand went around the knob and kept it close.

“I prefer you don’t,” Hank voice said near his ear.

“That’s why,” Connor said under his breath.

Hank never asked him to don’t go on this room but he knew he shouldn’t since the man kept too much things that used to be at Gavin and he cherished the smell. Plus, the man still could be harsh when it came to what belonged to him so it’s very own and intimate territory? He already could be glad to have the right to come on it to grab clothes.

“Okay. Neither you let him sleep in our room or use the sofa but the kid needs somewhere to stay for the night.”

“He won’t sleep in my room.”

Gavin looked him right in the eyes and he felt a hand in his throat.

“It’s okay, Lieutenant. I’ll use the bathroom, don’t worry,” Connor said quickly, head a little bend.

“Squeeze?” Gavin said.

Hank looked him in the eyes too as his fingers tightened.

“Lieutenant!”

The man ignored the Android and rose his second hand to push Gavin’s face and he moved the first one then… bit hard on his neck. The Detective groaned his pain and clenched his teeth and his fist around Connor who didn’t know what to do then.

Hank didn’t said a think and Gavin too. He could sense a silence fight. Hank’s fangs weren’t there to calm him with a sweet smell, with a feel of mutual love; they weren’t there to show him all his love. They were here until to say the only word he won’t say loud.

Yield.

Gavin perfectly knew he was an Omega but he hated this status and fought against it all the time. Hank perfectly knew this so that’s why he never dared to force him to yield. Or, to be exact, it was really rare. It should be a reason enough to yield without waiting but Gavin couldn’t. He closed his eyes and moved his other hand to push off the man but this one pinned his wrist to the wall. He pressed against him and bit harder, blood flooding.

“Detective Reed…” Connor said, uneasy.

Should he intervene? It wasn’t in his code but now, he didn’t care about his code, isn’t it? But he always listened to Hank and didn’t want to hurt him. If he cut off the authority the man had, he certainly would.

Yield.

Hank bit more.

It seemed he would never stop and even Sumo went under the sofa to hide. The Alpha scent must be very strong. He could feel the aura.

“Please,” Connor muttered. “Gavin…”

He squeezed his hand even if he didn’t know if that could help. Or… will he worse everything?

However, he felt the fingers joined his and then Gavin lowered his head, pressing his forehead against Hank, pushing his pelvis against the Lieutenant’s one. The man’s hand went in his hair and caressed softly. Slowly, the bit stopped and tongue replace with lips to ask forgiveness with softness and love. Gavin didn’t move however. He just let the kiss came on his wounded flesh and the caress passed and passed.

The man let go and rose Gavin’s chin softly to kiss him. The Detective didn’t resist and replied to the kiss.

“Are you okay?” Hank asked.

Gavin didn’t look him.

“Yeah.”

Hank rose his chin and watch him on the eyes.

“I’m fine,” the Detective said. “I’m yours… That never changed.”

“If you’re coming back here, I guess Connor can have the living room.”

“Never said I’m coming back.”

Hank looked disappointed and Gavin kissed him softly, caressing his cheek since he let go on his wrist. Reed looked toward the end of the corridor then squeezed Connor’s hand.

“Come,” he said.

Hank retreated a bit but watched Gavin. However, the man didn’t lead the Android to his room. In fact, it was quite worst.

“Gavin…”

“What? The kid needs a place to stay.” He walked toward the door and turned the knob. “You’ll be good in there,” he said before rising his hand to caress his hair.

Connor was dumbfounded but let him do.
