"You both can do me a favour and in return, I will tell you everything you want to know."
He wished he refused and turned his back on his creator when he had the chance.
Then he wouldn't be laying here, strapped down onto the cold hard metal table while someone cut into him, m̵o̴d̵i̷f̷y̸i̷n̵g̶ ̵h̴i̴m̴.̷

The idea for this AU came to me while I was sleeping and I talked about this Idea on the DBH Amino. Now I finally got to write about it! Please keep in mind that I am not a native English speaker so please tell me if you find errors so I can correct them.
A big thank you to my best friend Atharéa who is the beta reader of this story and helped me a lot

"You showed empathy." Kamski looked impressed and Connor wasn't sure if he was impressed with him or himself. (It doesn't matter, a machine doesn't care.)
The Chloe walked away and disappeared behind a door.
"A war is coming and you'll have to choose your side." Kamski turned to look at Connor with an unreadable expression. "Will you betray your own people or will you stand up against your creators?" He stepped forward. "What could be worse than having to choose between two evils?"
Hank didn't leave Connor a chance to answer as he grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him away from his creator who turned and looked out of the window.
They were walking towards the door when Kamskis' voice stopped them. "I can give you a second chance to learn what you need to know for this investigation."
Connor stopped halting Hank in his steps as well, his unwillingness to stay clearly showing in his apprehensive gaze aimed towards Connor.
"Connor, let's get outta here!"
"What do you mean?"
"Connor! We are leaving!" Hank tried pushing the Android but he refused to budge. He didn't know why he spared that Chloe, as illogical as the action had been [It was after all just an expandable machine without feelings] it had also interfered with his mission and he normally would do almost everything to advance the investigation.
[To please Amanda]
Connor turned but Kamski never aimed his thoughtful gaze away from the window.
"You both can do me a favour and in return, I will tell you everything you want to know."
The lieutenant was instantly suspicious.
"We won't shoot anybody for information so shut it!" He once again tried getting Connor to leave.
"Oh no, it is nothing like that." He turned, his back now facing the window, to look at the unusual pair. "I picked up some stray signals recently." The ex-CEO walked almost carefree around the pool and stopped in front of them.
"Cries of help to be precise." He crooked his neck to the side and scrutinizing eyes bore into Connors'.
"I … researched these phenomenons a bit and it came to my attention that an individual named Zlatko Andronikov is currently capturing Androids and is..." Kamski paused and a flicker of dismay passed over his features but he schooled it back into his normal unreadable expression. "-experimenting on them. Maybe even turning them into weapons."
If what the creator said was true, then that could mean a lot of unpleasant things that could hinder the investigation. Androids turned deviant under high enough stress and if that were to happen to those modified models then chaos would ensue.
Public support for the androids was rising exponentially fast and they would think that these modified Androids originated from a secret CyberLife project what would in turn damage the image of the company and he cannot let that happen.
"I want you two to get there and deal with the situation before it gets out of hand. In return, you'll have one potential problem less and you get the information you want. Win-Win."
[X] Accept
[O]Refuse
"Oh hell n-"
"Okay." They needed that information. There was a 68,97% chance of advancing the investigation with it and he couldn't turn his back on those calculations. [Amanda would be displeased]
"Fucking Androids..." The human turned around and walked back to the car. A Chloe approached and reached out with its hand to transfer the information to the RK800 model.
"By the way... I always leave an emergency exit in my programs.-"The creator paused. "-You never know..."
Connor walked out of the door without another word.

Hank was impatiently waiting outdoors for him. He still seemed displeased for some unknown reason but he didn't drive away and leave him behind. They walked to the car together.
"Why didn't you shoot?" Hank stopped, Connor hesitated for a second but still turned around.
"I just saw that girls eyes and I couldn't, that's all."replied Connor defensively. He didn't have an answer. [It was surely just an error in his code yet at the moment he saw...]
"You're always saying you would do anything to accomplish your mission." Connor turned his body away. He didn't want to stay here any longer than necessary but Hank wouldn't stop talking.
"That was our chance to learn something and you let it go. We both did not know about the deal he would give us instead." Connor turned around and got louder without meaning to.
"Yeah, I know what I should have done! I told you I couldn't." He took a few unsteady steps away and looked into Hanks eyes, uncertainty shining in his eyes. He had no clue why he did what he did and it scared him. He wasn't supposed to refuse orders or to feel scared.
[ Machines do not feel emotions]
"I'm sorry, okay? We still have a chance at getting these information." Connor walked to the car without looking back, never seeing the soft smile grazing Hanks lips.
"...Maybe you did the right thing."
