Notes: First off, Teen Wolf and Halo do not belong to me. They have awesome people that they already belong to. Second, this is unbeta'd. Thank you in advance for reading this!
For those that don't know about Halo, it's a series about a war between humanity and aliens known as the Covenant. Spartans are cybernetically enhanced human super-soldier. They sometimes have AI (artificial intelligence) companions. I'm taking a few liberties with the universe but basically that's it.
A week after he receives news that he's getting a new AI, Spartan Derek Hale is escorted to the Synchronization Chamber. A room on the ship that ran on a completely separate network, designed to safeguard the ship should rejection occur.
He glances at the observation window and stiffens when he meets the gaze of Commander Hale along. The man was determined that Derek have an AI, even going as far as calling in favors to give him more chances when the AI rejected the Spartan.
He notices Doctor Martin at the station ahead, tapping away. The doctor and he had only met twice and that was in passing. He knew about Whittemore and her, the long hours the two spent together. Others – Command – doesn't notice, at least he thinks so, or rather they just turn a blind eye to it.
Even Spartans need love. He remembers that line as he sits down on the chair and is tilted back while Martin runs scans. He looks up at the observation window again before gazing at her.
She looks at him and smiles sadly. "Good luck," she whispers as she finishes the scans. She turns around and takes the chip containing the AI from her assistant before turning back to Derek. "Spartan, I would like to introduce you to Stiles," she says as she inserts the chip into his armor.
