When it's all over, what do you think of?

Ship: OilRose (J x V) Genre: Glass, Romance Character focus: J Note: The last fiction of MD, and the last for so much longer ----------------

(No one's pov)

How cruel is it to be alive? A human will say it's terribly so, but what about a drone? A drone is not allowed to speak up their mind, a drone has to obey commends, a drone that plays by the rules efficiently is a good drone, a drone that doesn't, is an abomination that has to be removed from the system. So what does an efficient drone do when it is place in an environment filled with incompetent drones?

They become responsible, every single mistake, every single slip off, if she didn't punish themselves from time as a form of protection, then all would have ended up gone long ago. She calls it tough love, they call it toughness, she doesn't care how much of a bad guy she is, she refuses to allow the ones she has been instructed with to fall to the very hands of their creators. J was an efficient drone, and she had one clear job, be head maid, be the head, be the leader, be the mind, take care of them, even when it hurts me, do what must be done, it's an order, but it is also an aching heart who has saw the horrors of humans. They do not care for their own kin, they do not care for their own blood, so now that she is meant to care for all of these drones that are nowhere near being related to her as they are all just bolts attached together by heat and screws, she can not help but take on this role as she was instructed to do, doing whatever cruel punishment the masters demand, stepping to the side whenever one drone gets sent to the crows, because she can't risk to loose everyone for just one person, as dear as that person is, and she had no strength to gain from her human either. Tessa was just a child, J knew that, but in human terms, while J was indeed a tool equipped with artificial intelligence able to complete all of these tasks, they forgot where the developing AI may find itself asking a million questions. That is what made J different, she did not ask questions because she knew they were pointless, however, it did not mean that she was not present, she had a heart, she truly felt, but she knew better than to disobey, she knew better than to loose everything all over again, she knew better than to give herself a fake heartache. She was a drone! She has no excuses for being sloppy! She has to keep her head up, she is the leader of the squad…

But he was the favorite. 'N!' 'O-oh, sorry, I wasn't looking.' Tessa's favorite drone… her favorite drone. What could she do to catch her attention. She was the chef maid, and yet, she couldn't get a single glimpse from her eyes like she looked at N. N had a good heart but one too big for his own good or the good of others for that matter… he didn't know where to draw the line, she did, so then why would V so irrationally choose him over her? Why would Tessa pick N as her favorite? No. She didn't need to question Tessa, not because she was human, but because she knew what Tessa went through, and J long accepted that she will only be a 'partner in crime' for her, a guard, a supervisor, a side character in the story, if N brought her comfort than she will allow it, that is why in front of Tessa, J avoided any snappy comments, but when it came to V…? She couldn't allow it. She refused. She refused to let this beautiful perfect heart fall in love with one that would break her heart without scratching his. She pushed him, she kicked him, she kept him away from her, she kept her away from him, she tried to make her see all that she could offer her, but her eyes were forever locked on someone that couldn't even give her half of what she could. Why? Was she not efficient enough? Was she not good enough? Was she not the perfect model? She could offer her protection. She knew how to fight, she knew how to do so many things that all the other drones didn't, and yet, yet she still only had eyes for him. What did he have? There was no rational answer to it, just like there was no logical answer as to why she would ache when she saw her either.

Why would she short circuit? She went to the mechanic so many times, she insisted there is something wrong with her, she insisted there was something missing, something broken, but no diagnosed was put, therefore nothing was done to her system. J knew she was broken, she knew that if she admitted it, she would be disposed, she knew that she would never see them again, any of them, so, she kept quiet. The day V passed out, J was devastated, but she wasn't allowed to show it, she had to continue to do her duties, otherwise the Elliots would have a reason more to rid of them, and she wasn't going to risk it… yet nothing that she did was enough.

Meanwhile he was with her all the time neglecting his duties, in truth putting V at greater in danger with his foolishness. She had to carry these sins on her back, and when V woke again she was not herself, so, she had to fight her, she made sure not to hurt her, just throw her off and scare her, she regretted even that much but she knew it was ideal.

A new began after that, pitch blackness and then the bright sparkle of hope. She forgot everything, and then she was doomed to remember it all… She fell in love, all over again, this time not with a fragile maid but with a slightly psychotic and deranged drone, she still had to be stoic, she still had to be the leader, but now that they carried the same responsibilities it felt as if they could get closer, N was useless and worthless as per usual, and for once she thought that V thought the same, she displayed resentment towards him, at the very least weirdness towards his presence, but… there was no sparkle, no light, nothing, just hunger and madness, and it hurt, to see the person you care about most loose themselves, it was worse than death, so, quietly to herself J made one wish. 'Let me receive what means death, if it means that she will be happy'.

Lo and behold it happened, to her surprise, to her utter shock, she was bested, she was gone in a deep sleep for who knows how long but she woke up again…would that mean that her wish did not come true? Would it mean that whatever happiness she could have had up until she woke up will all be taken away from her? She had to make sure her crew was fine, even traitorous worthless N.

When she saw them again yes they were all fine, but what she trully sought out were her eyes. Did her wish work? Did she get to be happy? She wasn't allowed to find out, not for now, she was given another mission, and for the greater good of her, for the long run, she had to obey it, bigger things were ahead of them, and as per usual J having the bigger picture as she was right next to Tessa at all times, so, she had to do what was required to ensure all of their safety, she just hopped that she could experience seeing her joy again. She wished that they could both be joyful…for once.

The strange pony tailed girl was always a mystery to V. She was so cold and tough and yet she meant well, they got along well, she was a great friend, she was good, she was a good memory, but she didn't remain a memory, she remained the same regardless of what has happened, and that must have been the most comforting thing in V's life. Once Uzi blasted J, V didn't get to feel too much, she had other things to worry about, she took that from J. She learned a lot from her, sometimes she wondered how many things she could have learnt from her if she didn't waste time chasing boys that didn't even glimpsed her way. He was not ready for the type of love she came with, so he naturally went to someone even more broken than him, not realising that it meant even more work and love than he was ever capable of showing her when he was at peek of being in love with her. He really was an useless idiot, and she was a dumb girl for loving him to begin with.

"V! WE NEED YOU!" "Nah… Uzi, I trust you."

Darkness, is that what J felt? Is that what it looked like? Will she open her eyes ever again? Would she…?

"V!" A faint voice called over as her eyes slowly began to open, but everything was so blurry, yet…colorful. "You got to be more careful!" A familiar voice told her as her glasses were placed right back on her eyes. "What… is… J?" V asked beyond confused as the other girl simply smiled. "You always looked better with glasses on." "Why-?" "Because that way you can see like we do and you get to experience just as much joy!" V was beyond baffled, was this even J? Was she somewhere in the solver's mind…? What was happening?

"J we- I- I am pretty sure I died, N and Uzi… and you went off- how are you- how are we here?" V asked as she looked around to see a seemingly endless version of the Elliot garden in spring, when it was full of life. "Did you ever think of what you truly want?" J said looking at a flower with sadden eyes as V looked at her startled, what was with her voice? What was with her eyes? V never saw J like this.

"Miss me! Miss me! Now you gotta kiss me!" "V STOP SAYING THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS!"

V shot her head up to see her younger self running away from a younger version of J, back when life was so much simpler, when they just had to take orders, fulfil them, and not have to worry with the world absolutely ending. V looked with at it all with a mixture of pain, sadness, grief, shock and realisation. She knew why she was here now…

"Well, what does it mean?" "It's… it's a weird things humans do! Don't say that ever again! You don't know what someone who knows what it means will do if they hear it!" "What's so bad for it?" The young maid asked clueless as she looked up at her superior and best friend. J looked away embarrassed and then took her hand gently and kissed it. "This. This is a kiss. A kiss can be placed everywhere, and apparently a kiss on the lips is real big deal, because it's super important, one on the hand too, but it the hand one is also an act of politeness! There are also cheek kisses made out of affection and they can be considered as friendly. I showed you this one so you know that no one that is not close enough to you should be allowed to kiss you anywhere other than your hand." V explained as V blushed a little bit from delight and excitment. "Then I hope N kisses me on the lips if I ever get to say this to him!" At those words J's face dropped completely, her eyes widened, her mouth shut, forming a small pout, as her hands stood limply at her side, before immediately looking away realising the weakness she was showing.

"J? What's wrong?" V asked, only now noticing something changed when J turned around. J simply squeezed her eyes shot as she clenched her fists before looking back at V with a small smile. "Nothing, nothing at all. Come on, want me to teach you more of those human courting ways?" "Yes please!" V said excitedly, completely blind to what was unfolding in front of her despite having her glasses on.

"Alright, there's another game with flowers. You take a flower of your choice and pluck it's petals and-" "But why?" "Let me finish. At each petal you have to say 'love me' or 'love me not', like this." J said as she picked a dandelion and showed her, and of course she landed on the last petal with 'love me not'. "And…what does the last petal mean?" "It shows if they do or do not love you…" "Oh-!" V said. "Does that mean your person doesn't love you? I'm so sorry J-" "No-! No… it's fine, I don't love anyone I just did this to show you." J said as she looked away. A lie. V watched all of this in silence. She only learned much later on that J would look away when she would lie, but back then she didn't know.

"Now, here's a trick… if the flower has an even number, start with 'love me not' and if it has an uneven number start with 'love me'." "But why?" "So you can end up on 'love me' always-" "J! Why did you say that! Now it's not as special anymore!" V whined as J's eyes began to search around frantically.

"If I had to choose, I'd do it all over again, without skipping a beat." J said as she opened her eyes, facing the only thing she could never do. Looking at those sad eyes that looked like a beaten dog left out in a storm. "It made me feel alive, in the worst ways possible, but with the best pain possible." J said as a small smile cracked up on her face. "I hoped to never see your face in pain ever again, but clearly that is another wish that didn't come true for me." J said weakly with a sheepish look in her eyes as V's vision once again turned blurry, but not because her glasses fell off, but because tears were building up in them.

When it all came to an end, J thought of V. When it all came collapsing for V, she still thought of the same person that ruined her life yet helped her fight to even get a taste of what being alive felt.

Horror struck into the hearts of the poor humans, innocent or not, the drones were now nothing bu killing machines feasting on their flesh, and the happiest memories of them being together was devouring the same corpse as J spread her wings and protected V from the rain of bullets aimed at them.

When it's all over, what do you think of? I think of what I have gained, I think of how it changed me for the better, I use the worst parts for the better future. Now when this journey comes to an end, I thank you all that have joined this brief chapter of my journey to achieving my dreams. I thank you for watching someone who despises love novels go out of their way to write love stories as they believe they should be written. I thank you for reading stories that help my growth in experience, that help me learn more and realise more, that help me practice for what it is to come. I thank you all for the moments that will forever be a small bundle of joy when I will ever need to remind myself as to 'why?'. I thank you, and I hope that in the long run of this future, you will be willing to read stories of great adventure, of pain, of love, of hope, of hate, of all that makes one feel alive. Thank you.

The end
