AU after Michael gets his hand cut off but never gets it replaced. He just gets better and better robot hands, I guess.

Version 2.3

"...and if you touch the thumb to the intermediate phalanx of your middle finger, you turn on vibrate mode."

Michael paused at that. "Vibrate mode?" he repeated, unsure if he was hearing correctly. "Why in the world would I need vibrate mode?"

Birkhoff squinted at him like he was stupid. "Really, dude?" he asked in such a tone that Michael was even beginning to feel stupid. He pointedly slide his gaze to Nikita—who was toweling off after her spar—before turning back to Michael and waggled his eyebrows.

It clicked. "Oh," Michael intoned, looking down at his new hand.

Well, then.

Low rating is low because if you don't get it then you just don't get it.
