Androids' child
AN: First story for Nier: Automata! The inspiration of this story derived from a barrage appeared when the machine lifeform sister asked about how to make children, it said: "9S is such a gentle dad! If he had a kid, that would be so cute! " So I came up with this story~
English is not my first language so if there's any grammar mistakes, please let me know.

10pm Bunker
Black and white, the two cold colors filled the bunker with grim and harshness. You can only see boundless darkness outside the large casement window, neither Sun nor Moon shined here. Daytime or nighttime made no difference here, only the clocks could tell the time. "Tick, tock. Tick, tock..."
"Knock, knock. It's 9S here. May I come in?"
9S's voice behind the door interrupted 2B's reading. What's the matter? She thought anxiously as she rose up and opened the door. 9S stood there with a smile on his face.
"What is it?"
"It's...um..." He stammered, "You remember what the commander said last week? She said a new batch of androids were to be made and you know what… the factory decided to analyze our data and put them to..."
"What. Is. It?"2B asked impatiently.
"Well, in short… A female android based on our data will be produced tomorrow. I'm here to ask: will you go to visit her with me?"
"Wha..."2B was shocked as she organized the information poured into her brain. She'd never confronted such a case, an android built based on his and her data? Doubtfully she answered: "Okay, I'll go with you."
"Great! So let's meet at 9am when the factory opens. I can't wait to see her birth!" 9S said excitedly as he bid farewell.
Birth? Where did he pick up that word? Isn't it a word that describes human? 2B closed the door behind her as her eyes wandered back to the book on the table – Abiogenesis.
8:30am Android Factory
Factory was one of the most disgusting place for androids. Loud noises, heavy dusts, broken arms and legs. Though they hate this place for most of time, they hold at least a little appreciation for it at some particular times...
"Hey 2B! You arrived earlier than I expected!" 9S greeted 2B as her approached.
"I'm the one who should say that. You arrived here even earlier" 2B deadpanned, "Are you really that excited…?"
[Proposal: Go and see the android girl.]
Pod 042 spoke out of turn, which made 2B's face darkened.
"You're curious about her, too! It's natural for us even androids to be curios about anything new." 9S laughed, "Actually I've been thinking about her for the whole night. Hey, what do you think she looks like? Will she become another 2B like you or other types of androids?"
"What will the commander do if she finds out your emotions?" 2B interrupted him coldly.
"Umm… I hope she could understand how normal it is for a dad concerning his child." 9S said quietly as he held his hand to his chin.
[Question: Where did 9S get those "dad" things?]
2B seemed annoyed by her Pod. She growled and stared at it.
"It's okay 2B. No need to make such a face." 9S explained, "I got those 'dad' things from some books about human's family. According to the book, children are the offspring of people who take after their genes. As for us androids, data are our genes. So in some way, she can be seen as our 'daughter'. Kinda weird, huh?"
"Sorry but I can't get your meanings." 2B murmured as she turned, looking at the ground.
Humans are really strange creatures. They created books that keep their thoughts, they built huge mansions with beautiful decorations, they even had emotions. However, why those intelligent humans was defeated by aliens who didn't own books, mansions or emotions? Perhaps it was just the books, mansions and emotions that made humans weak and fragile. At the time when aliens invaded, humans was weeping for their missing books, crying for their damaged mansions and wailing for their tragedies- emotions surely hurts.
9S and 2B froze in embarrassment. 2B clenched her fists: "How many times do I have to tell you: feelings are prohibited. So get back your words – she is just another partner of ours."
"2B..."9S still tried to explain but stopped as he heard a series of footsteps nearing them.
"Well, well. It seems you two arrived here ahead of time." The commander stood before them as she smiled elegantly, "Another batch of androids are produced and our power is stronger again. Let's witness such a moment! Glory to mankind!"
"Glory to mankind." The two androids echoed as the factory's entrance slowly began to open.
In the factory slept hundreds of newly-built androids. Among them, a female android waiting for her "parents", slowly opened her eyes.
