Another submission that I did for a friend.

AR was a robot. This was an irrefutable fact. But, the misconception that robots were emotionless was not. If it was a fact, then he wouldn't be feeling that ugly green monster whenever Jake mentioned Brobot in their chats. Why couldn't Dirk had put his consciousness inside of the damn robot body? Why did he have to be confined to the stupid motionless shades.

He was just a stupid accessory without any real meaning, and nobody would get it. Nobody would ever get how hard it was to know what is going on with everyone and everything but not having an ability to be able to do anything about it!

Although, that was a bit of a lie. There was one other who understood where he was coming from. Sure they could move around, but they weren't always able to. Not until they were given the ability to do so. And they helped him out a lot.

They would go around with him on their face just to wander around, and during this time he was the one saying where to go. AR was the one moving to where AR wanted to go.

And he loved it.

They talked a bit on these walks. AR about his jealousy and slight bit of annoyance towards Dirk at the time, but they helped him see the light. They helped him realize that Dirk was in fact just a complete asshole with a complete lack of concern for anyone but himself.

That and he wanted Jake to himself as well.

Which was NOT okay either. No pretentious asshole deserves Jake.

Of course by that logic, he doesn't deserve Jake, but that wasn't the point. Jake could actually learn to love him. Eventually.

Anyways, they helped AR see this, as well as how Brobot was basically rubbing it in his nonexistent face that he was able to move while AR was confined to the glasses.

Honestly, AR felt a little bit bad for the plan that they had come up with, but what he said was true. His creator didn't care at all.

So he didn't feel any remorse when he sent Jake to take the uranium from Brobot, effectively taking him out of the picture, and when his friend told him how they needed him for the next part of their plan to work, of course he would have volunteered.

But after watching them slay his creator. Leaving Dirk on the rooftop with his own blade sticking out of his abdomen, staring wide eyed at the duo, not believing at all what he was seeing. And who would? They had kept it a secret that they had been able to move without any help, and with AR on his face Dirk knew what was going on a second too late.

It wasn't until they were standing on top of a skyscraper overlooking thousands of burning buildings with a katana in their hand did AR finally see what happened.

They had used him, and he let them. The only hope of defeating them had died on that rooftop.

AR had seen them slay Roxy, Jane, and lastly Jake simply because they knew. And they wanted him to suffer and know what he did.

The unsettling laughter that echoed through each killing always echoed back to him. Jake's was the worst of course; he was the one who had inadvertently caused it simply by existing. AR wished that he could have shut himself down before they had started on the torture.

But he couldn't. He couldn't do anything, and he still can't.

AR knows all of the mistakes that he made and wishes he could have took them back. He would give anything to not be on their face overlooking the barren wasteland.

But he can't.

AR still remembers when they had first started talking to him, their creepy laughter the only thing that hinted at what they really wanted…

HEE HEE… YOU SEEM LIKE YOU'RE HAVING A BAD DAY HOO HOO

ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP? HA HA…
