Hi!

This is the second time I'm trying to write a Detroit: Become Human story. I am not going to lie, the main idea was to hurt our sweet Connor, I'm sorry. It has a happy ending I swear! I hope you will like this story and take the time to read it. This story has 13 chapters and English is not my first language so you might see some mistakes here and there. Sorry about that.

Well, I'll let you read now, have fun and feel free to leave a comment!

A few months after the deviant's demonstration, the government had given them some rights. Androids could now own property, and it was a crime to harm them just like humans. They were officially a new intelligent species even though they were still segregated. Their rights, compared to humans, was still far from being equal but it was getting there. Of course, some people were mad about the change since they had just lost their androids, but slowly the civilians were starting to understand. They had begun to accept the fact that androids now lived alongside them. Businesses were now even hiring android as employees and treated them equal to the human workers. Detroit was changing and all of it made the deviant leader very proud.

Everything wasn't perfect of course; one industry, in particular, couldn't be more frustrated about the change: CyberLife. They had lost most of their profit since people weren't buying androids anymore, and it didn't make them happy. They had started selling parts and bio-components to keep the business going, but they were slowly losing money.

Rachelle Charbonnet had developed a plan. She used to be a simple worker but had taken over once the deviant's demonstration had happened. The CyberLife employees were now under her and she was the one in control. It had taken her a few weeks to think of the perfect plan of action, and she was almost ready to announce it to her employees. The idea was perfect, but she still needed one major asset. Once it was ready, her plan could finally begin. She was going to have to turn the people against the deviants, but she had that planned as well. After months of working with the best engineers, she finally had the blueprints she needed to start the first part of her plan. Now she just needed the people to create it. This was going to be a machine for battle. One that couldn't deviate and would always follow orders. Charbonnet just couldn't wait to see it in action. The demonstration was over, now, it was time for a revolution.

Connor was sitting on the floor with his back against the couch. He was petting Sumo on his head while the dog munched lazily on his toy. Hank was gone to the DPD Central Station and Connor was now alone in Hank's house. After Markus' demonstration, androids had started to go their own ways, but Connor didn't know where to go. He had met with Hank on the same day and had asked him shyly if he could stay with him. The lieutenant had simply replied with a smile as he pulled him in a hug. Connor had smiled and hugged back tightly. At first, being a deviant was overwhelming, but now he liked the feeling. It was a lot to get used to, but the android knew that Hank would be there with him every step of the way.

The chocolate eyed android looked down at the big Saint-Bernard and started scratching the dog's ears. Sumo turned his head slowly before moving his entire body on top of Connor. The deviant chuckled.

"Sumo, you're crushing me," Connor said softly as he put his arms around the dog.

Sumo licked his face before moving to the side, freeing Connor. The deviant stood up and brushed his clothes with his hands. He looked around for a moment, wondering what he could do before Hank arrived from work. He walked to the vinyl player and took one of Hank's vinyl discs. He placed it in and started listening to the Jazz music. Sumo went back to his sleeping spot and laid down while Connor walked to the kitchen. He started to look around in the cabinets and in the fridge and took out a few things. He planned a simple menu and calculated the time it would take to cook and the time it would take for Hank to arrive. Once he was sure of his plan, the deviant started cooking. At the same time, he mentally called the lieutenant's phone and waited.

"Hi? Who's this?" Hank asked as he answered the call.

"It's Connor. I was simply calling to tell you that I'll be making dinner," the deviant replied as he worked on the said dinner.

"How did you call me?" Hank suddenly asked.

"CyberLife designed a phone function inside my program," Connor explained.

"Well that's useful," Hank simply replied. "See you later, then."

"Goodbye, Lieutenant," Connor said before blinking rapidly.

His LED went from a flashing yellow to a solid blue as he ended the phone call and returned his attention to the boiling water in front of him. Around an hour later, Connor heard Hank's old car rolling on the driveway. Sumo raised his head when he heard the car door slamming shut and Connor walked to the front door to unlock it. Hank walked in and threw his coat on the couch before sitting in his chair and sighing.

"Is everything alright, Lieutenant?" Connor asked as he closed the door.

"It's been a long ass day," Hank explained before taking a deep breath. "Anyway. What did you cook?"

Connor smiled before walked back to the kitchen. Hank followed and sat down at the table. The deviant quickly put the plate in front of the lieutenant and put his hands behind his back.

"Spaghetti. I hope you'll like it," Connor said, waiting.

Hank looked down at his plate and smirked. It looked good. He took a first bite and looked up at Connor. The deviant almost seemed nervous as his LED flashed slowly from yellow to blue.

"It's really good, Connor," Hank told him.

The deviant seemed so proud of himself, Hank couldn't help but smile. Connor was certainly one of the best things that had ever happened to him.

It was great to have somebody waiting for Hank when he arrived home. He had not realized how much he had missed it. It was nice to have somebody to watch sports with or to just talk to. Connor was quickly becoming part of Hank's family, and Hank was slowly healing from his son's death. Suddenly, he had come to realize that he deserved to live as well and that drinking himself to death wasn't only hurting him, but the people around him as well. Hank was getting better, and it was all because of one chocolate eyed android.
