Ready to comply [Android!Bucky x Fem!reader] chapter 2
*gif not mine*
Chapter summary: You're dizzy drunk last night, though you could vaguely remembered some of what happened. One of them is sticking one of your invention of that poor android's arm, deactivated it in the process.
Previous
It was early in the morning when you woke up with a massive headache, quickly taking the ibuprofen that's resting on your nightstand, although not remebring putting it there before sleeping.
Too tired to think about it, you took the medicine before making your way out of your bedroom.
"Good morning, (Y/n)."
"Son of a bitch! Who the hell are you?!" You screeched, placing a hand on your chest. Eyes still a bit blurry from sleep, you squinted them and saw an android standing still in the middle of your kitchen. Its hand behind its back, standing straight while staring blankly at you.
"Hello (Y/n), my name is... Bucky. Android B107 of CyberStark. Serial number; 103-678-3--" He began reciting his serial number all while scanning you from head to toe, although it looks like his checking you out.
[(Y/n);acquaintance]
[Scanning 'acquaintance'...] [Scanning complete]
[(Y/n);;; vital signs: 14% elevated ; "head"pain level>> 36%]
"Okay-okay! I remember now, fuck." You rubbed your temple while letting out an exasperated sigh. "Your making my headache worse."
["Head"pain level>> 40%]
"You asked me who I was, (Y/n)," Bucky points out matter-of-factly causing you to raise an eyebrow.
You scoffed, giving him a once over. "For an android, you sure are cocky. How long have you been standing there in my kitchen looking like a creep?"
"I've been standing here for approximately five hours, forty-three minutes and sixteen seconds."
You scrunched up your face before rolling your eyes, muttering a small "fucking creep" before making your way towards the stove to cook yourself some breakfast - surprise, surprise.
The android is completely unaffected by your words, turning his heels and started looking around your living area, scanning anything and everything like all androids would when positioned in a new environment.
Bucky is silent as a ghost as he walks around the living room and it slightly makes you uncomfortable knowing there is someone-- an android-- with you right this at moment inside your apartment yet not hearing anything.
It's like you're aware that there's a ghost beside you - it's just silent but it's there.
"So," you started, trying to fill in the silence. "What kind of android are you?" You're his owner right? Might as well get to know the android you've bought.
Bucky looks up from your plastic plant in the corner of the living room, eyes darting to the side to look at you. When he saw your back is faced towards him, he looks back down on the other plant -- this time, it's real-- beside the plastic one while answering your question.
"I'm a protector. My mission is to keep the humans safe."
The pancake you are cooking began to bubble on top and kept your eyes locked onto it as you questioned Bucky. "What? Like a bodyguard of some sort?"
Bucky turn his attention to the coffee table, analyzing the contents scattered on top of it. There's an empty pizza box and a half full uncapped bottle of coke, a bag of empty chips and a few used tissues with grease all over them; obviously from the pizzas and chips.
"You could say that."
His answer slightly surprised you, turning your cheek at him but not looking as your eyes focused on the tiled floor. "What?"
"I am programmed with skills most androids don't have. I am not like the DX line model for my biocomponents are much more advanced and my body can withstand most bullets and harsh climates," he explained whilst gently grabbing a picture frame.
It's a picture of a teenage girl holding the hand of another girl that looks exactly like you; much more younger and small, both smiling brightly at the camera.
[Scanning picture]
[Niki (L/n); age: 38 ;; year of birth: 3014 occupation: model at 'south of CSCV', and also known as Serpent]
[History: Adoptive daughter of (M/n) and (F/n) (L/n).]
"What kind of bullet is the most critical yet you can still handle?" Bucky heard you asked from the kitchen as the words and numbers cleared out in his vision.
".700 Nitro bullets." He answered, placing the frame back exactly where it belongs, like it never been moved in the first place. Bright blue eyes scanning the new information that appears in front that only he could see. His LED flickering from blue to orange then back.
[Searching >> (M/n) (L/n) and (F/n) (L/n)]
[Searching complete]
[(M/n); deceased, (F/n); missing ;; two daughters>> Nicki (L/n) and (Y/n) (L/n)]
"You're kidding me, right?" You flipped the second pancake before turning your whole body around to face your android, crossing your arms over your chest.
[New information found regarding (Y/n);acquaintance >> surname: (L/n)]
Bucky simply stares back at you with his usual blank, calculating eyes. "I am not," he replied.
"And CyberStark is planning on selling androids like you to the public?" That's downright stupid and dangerous. If an android like him gets into the wrong hands, who knows what could happened.
"It seems so." Bucky must've finished scanning your whole entire living room as he just stands there in the middle of the room. His arms behind his back and his posture straight as ever, awaiting to assist you if needed.
He doesn't really have to do that. You don't own him, he just followed you out of the store for reasons unknown to him. You're just the person who bought it... by force, too caught up on being drunk to actually know-- remeber-- what you've done.
You whistled, turning your attention back at your pancake. Not to your surprise, it's slightly burnt.
"Anything else I need to know about your model?"
Bucky answered without any hesitation. "As a prototype, CyberStark built me with two thirium pumps and if the public and the government ever approve with my model, CyberStark will change the design to the usual one thirium pump paper android like the normal android design." A pause. "I am also programmed to be able to engage on sexual intercourse."
"Fucking hell, a personal bodyguard and also a sex android? That's what I call 'safe and satisfied'," you smirked, picking up your plate of pancakes and began making your way to the living room.
You really have to try that later
You plopped down on your couch and started stuffing your face with your maple syrup drenched pancakes. It's not the best but you could care less.
Bucky's eyes follows you, not noticing the small click that sounded like a camera the moment he blinked his eyes.
"How much did I paid for you? A million?" You laughed. "My sister would be pissed!"
Bucky watched as you stuff your face with the greasy looking pancakes, contemplating if he should tell the truth about you not actually paying for anything-- basically stealing him from the shop-- or not.
"Wait, you said you're a prototype." You slowly chewed on your food, lifting up your head to look at him with a horrified look plastered on your face as the realization sets in.
"Oh shit. You're the prototype.... Oh, fuck, please tell me I'm wrong."
You're dizzy drunk last night, though you could vaguely remembered some of what happened. One of them is sticking one of your invention of that poor android's arm, deactivated it in the process.
Poor android, only doing it's job.
"You are correct." Bucky nodded his head before asking politely, "Is there something wrong?"
You were about to retort when a sound of loud knocking cuts you off before you can even open your mouth, making the two of you snaps your heads towards the door.
You cursed under your breath and moved your plate on top of the pizza box considering there's no more room to place it in the coffee table, and cautiously made your way to the door.
Glancing at the small screen attached to your door, you saw two men wearing suits and ties with matching sunglasses. One of them knocked a few more times before stepping back, both looking up where the small camera is placed, waiting patiently.
Bucky immediately goes and stood behind you, hands to his side and chest puffs out as he waits for your next move or his built in instinct, really.
Opening the door where only half of your face could be seen from the outside, you greeted the two men in suits. More like snapped a harsh, "What?"
Fuck being polite, they look sketchy as hell.
"We just wanted to ask you if you have a B107 android inside?" The bald one asked, his tone monotonous and gruff.
It took you all the willpower to keep your eyes at the two, silently hoping they wouldn't see the tall android behind you.
"Never heard about that model before. New?" You casually asked, resuming your act of innocence.
"Can we look inside?" The other man asked, ignoring your question. If it weren't for the lack of LED on their temples, you would've thought they were androids.
Unless they removed it, but you doubt they would do such thing. Only deviants have the 'guts' to physical remove their LEDs, which considered as a symbol of enslavement.
The revolution between humans and androids happened decades ago, androids are set free and finally have their own rights. Some became deviants, but some stayed the same; stone-faced, unsentimental machines.
But the two men in front of you, they look like they work for someone and you are certain it's not for CyberStark. You instantly knew because they don't have those shiny CyberStark logo pins.
"Why? I just told you, I never heard about a B107 before."
"Let us inside or we let ourselves in by force."
This is the moment you knew that they knew what you've done, that you have the android they are looking for.
"Fuck you," you growled before slamming the door shut, emergency locking it.
You quickly took Bucky's hand and sprint inside your bedroom, also locking it behind you. You grab your backpack from the hook behind your door and run towards your desk where your laptop, small gadgets, and inventions are messily set, shoving all of them as fast as you can.
The android analyzed your frantic movement, on guard as he quickly noted that the two men from outside are a threat.
"Bucky, let's go!"
"Where are we going, (Y/n)?" He calmly asked, tilting his head to the side.
You opened the window and slipped a leg out, glaring harshly at the android. "I don't know, but hopefully not in jail."
You both heard the front door slammed open and two sets of heavy footsteps sprinting towards your room.
Your heart jumps in fright and screamed at the android who is still calmly standing inside your room. Is he serious? Did you just bought a defective prototype of an android?!
"Come on you fucking scrap meta--" Your breath hitched when you saw one of his eyes quickly turned bright orange.
Bang!
🎧 Bang! bang! Into the room, I know you want it 🎶

"I'll not associate with your kind."
"This is an outrage! AN OUTRAGE!"
"Lester, where is my doll…?"
Toasty
I hope you guys will forgive me and also understand that I will honor the memory of Henry R. Lumley as he actually was and not as the horrible person the Bioshock devs painted him as.
I am still really disgusted by the fact that they would use his face as the model for Toasty (a literal murderer/rapist!) and never even asked his surviving family members if they could do such.
So I will skip this one, hope you don’t mind.
Pigskin
A young American football player pressured to Splice to become a better athlete. Unlike most Splicers, they seem to have partial awareness of what is happening to them.

"He's an intruder… and- and they make us kill intruders."
"I just wanna go to sleep… Just wanna go to sleep, I just wanna go to sleep."
"They make me hate everything I see! They make me hate everything I see! They make me hate everything I see! They make me hate everything I see!"
"I do what I'm told! I just do what I'm told! I always just do what I'm told!"
"Where are you?! They'll kill me if I don't find you!"
"Better come out! It- it'll go easier for both of us!"
"Please, come on out! It'll be so much worse if you hide!"
"Do you have any idea what they'll do if I don't find you?!"
"Yeah, am I entertaining you? Great! Is this fun to watch?!"
"Mom. Mom? Look what I've done. Mom?"
"I did it, okay? He's dead! Now just leave me alone!"
"Why did you make me do it? Why?"

"It's over, okay? It's over! Now just get out of my head!"
"It hurts! It hurts! Jesus, it hurts!"

And other religious stuff.

A very overprotective mom who sees herself as very nurturing and self-sacrificing, but is fairly possessive and restrictive in actuality.

"Nothing could happened to my boy, I made him wear his best scarf today… he's bundled up tight!"
"I would never leave him with the sitter, they're all perverts."
"Wake up son. You worry me when you sleep so deeply."
"Gonorrhea, that's what you'll get. And there's no cure but the madhouse."
"Franklin, get Mother's cream out of the armoire. I need you to do your magic."
"Franklin, why don't you come over and rub mother's feet? They're barking."
"Friends? Of course he's got friends, but I always come first."
"There's no relationship like mother and son, it's deeply intimate."
"Don't walk away when I'm talking to you!"
"I'd like to see you run away, you wouldn't last the night!"
"No one'll ever love you as much as me!"
"I only worry so much because I love you!"
"I raised you better than this!"
"What's mothering but a thankless job?"

A doctor of psychiatry who advocates for the survival of the fittest and evolutionary superiority no matter the cost. (Hate this sob.)
FAVORITE BURIAL AT SEA DIALOGUE
"That's right… Cry like a baby. Your mother didn't love you… Why should she? What did you ever do to earn it? Nothing."
"You were the worst kind of parasite! Only taking, giving nothing in return! That you were a child means nothing!"
"Do you know what they call men who shy from adversity in war-time? Deserters… They shoot them… And rightly so!"
"Very painful, I assure you… But you will be hardier for it! More highly evolved! Superhuman!"
"No it's not the strongest that survive, but the fittest! Those most capable of change! A good start is thinking for yourself…"
"Did you come to Rapture because it seemed fashionable?! Or did you intend to make something of yourself? If you don't keep ahead of the rest you'll be resigned to follow."
"If you're going to disappear before my diagnosis, why did you come in the first place?!"
The Small Business Owner
Okay, I take back everything I was about to say about The Salesman, this is Sinclair 2.0! The description literally says ‘This businessman is willing to do whatever it takes to thrive, even if it's technically illegal.’ JFC, they could have at least tried.
FAVORITE BURIAL AT SEA DIALOGUE
"So I greased a few palms here an' there, time-to-time… What of it? I've been told this town is friendly to free enterprise!"
"'Fat Cat'? If that's what they call a fella who's prosperous?! Determined?! Uncompromising?! Then, FINE! The shoe fits! You got me."
"Criminal Dealings?! [short laugh] Fallacy! Misdirection! From those afraid to let the market take its natural course."
"You ain't no big shot round here!"
"Push me? I push right back!"
"You'll never amount to nothing!"
[short laugh] "I'm gonna bring you to heel!"
The Beauty Queen / King
A woman who recites her prepared speech for the Rapture Pageant.
FAVORITE BURIAL AT SEA DIALOGUE
"I'm just honored to be in the competition and… gee, I hope you like me… Because I'd like nothing more than to be Miss Rapture 1958…"
"Mother always says it's important to be yourself, so here I am, 100% the genuine article."
"Well, he's gotta be handsome AND smart and self-assured like Andrew Ryan… [short laugh] And good with his hands like Dr. Steinman!"
"No need to hide. I'm 'a regular person.' Just like you!"
"Butterflies in your stomach? C'mere. I have just the thing!"
(male variant)
"We're all adults… Nothing we can't work around with a little elbow grease."
"Women don't care for character anymore. It's all money and looks."
"Hello? You from "Star and Screen" magazine?"
Ryan Security Agent
Men and women handpicked by Sullivan to maintain order and keep the city safe from potential threats. There’s not much else known about this specific character model.
FAVORITE BURIAL AT SEA DIALOGUE
"Atlas' followers have been living on borrowed time if you ask me. Who knows, maybe Ryan got tired of footing the bill for this place."
"Told Ryan he should've given each of these clowns a bullet, not a prison."
"Guy made a city at the bottom of the ocean, and they thought it was a wise idea crossing him."
"We get in, disappear the girl and Atlas' crew, back before happy hour."
"I'm smart enough to know Ryan's smarter than all of us."
"You judge a man by his enemies? Then Ryan doesn't amount to much."
"Fontaine's followers put up a good fight at the fisheries. I'd expected more from this lot."
"What did you think was gonna happen? You cross Ryan and get off scot-free?"
Misc.
Didn’t really feel like getting into the Crawlers, Buttons, Heady, The Hypochondriac, The Ex-Boyfriend, The Schoolteacher, Frosty Splicers, Houdini, Survivors and Jockey Splicers because they either feel uninteresting to me or are super area restricted.
