The young and talented scientist known as Bulma Briefs, was in her lab working. It was the only place were she felt as ease. Whenever she was stressed or upset. She would come here to get away from the rest of the world. The world she knew just a few years ago was no more. Dr. Gero ruined it. She knew it was the androids who actually did it but she also knew who created them.
Bulma never liked Gero from the day she first met him as a kid. He gave off an weird vibe. He would also stare at her whenever he visiting her father. Just an weird old man who had an evil ambition. Not too mention that Goku destroyed his army back in the day and made machines to hunt down and kill her friend.
There was also someone else she was starting to not like. The prince of all saiyans, Vegeta himself. At first she was in love with him. And over time she felt that he learned to love her too. But one day something changed. He started neglecting her more than usual. He would speak to her here and there but he was never really there for her needs. Bulma didn't want to sound selfish but she couldn't help it when all he did was use her equipment for training and eat then disappear. It's been like this for the past 2 years now.
It was so bad to the point where he wouldn't have sex with her anymore. He said training was more important to him than petty relations. Bulma was lonely most of the time and the only ones who seemed to care was Gohan now that everyone else is gone. But he couldn't always be there to make her feel better. That is Vegeta's job as my husband which he is failing miserably at. It's to the point where she questions if they're even married anymore.
Bulma had almost given up on men until she laid eyes on the male android known as Android 17. Now of course she knew he was an ruthless killer who killed her friends but so was Vegeta. However it's something different about Seventeen. Bulma has only met him a few times and she's never really had a conversation with him. However, she could see something in his eyes. A lonely man who wanted to mean something special to somebody. And a beast wanting to be released from his shackles. Full of desire for someone.
And what's even more weird is that she swears the look intensifies slightly only when they make eye contact. Even if it's brief contact she can still feel it. It's crazy to think that she's attracted to him but it's the truth and it's no point in trying to deny it to herself. She don't know what she would do if she got the opportunity to be alone with him. What would she even say to him? What if he's messing her mind on purpose? Is it possible that it's just an coincidence and she's just over thinking it? So many questions running through her mind at once. If it was one thing she was sure of though is those eyes of his hold some sort of truth.
Another thing she was sure of is that she wanted to get away from Vegeta. She was tired of being insulted and used every time she looked at him. More than anything it was getting old. Why should she have to wait for him to care when it's clear as day that he doesn't want her anymore. It's been too long since they've been together for them not to work something out.
Speaking of the devil, Vegeta walked into her lab wearing his usual battle armor. "Woman I need you to fix the gravity chamber. It broke again due to your sloppy repairs."
That struck a nerve and Bulma retorted. "Well maybe if someone wasn't reckless with things we wouldn't have to keep going through this."
"I don't need your back talk woman. Just go fix the damn thing and while you're at it. Make yourself even more useful by preparing some lunch." Vegeta said arrogantly.
"I'm not your maid you lazy, good for nothing but fighting bastard. Let me tell you something. No woman and I mean not one would put up with your cocky, egotistical, annoying self. You're lucky I was nice enough to help you. Hell I even married you and where did that get me? Nowhere absolutely nowhere! You don't care about me anymore. I'm not sure if you did in the first place." Bulma screamed at him.
Vegeta looked at her and scoffed. "I don't care for petty human emotions. I have to prove that I am the strongest saiyan alive and to do that. I have to destroy those androids myself."
"Prove to who exactly? Last time I checked Goku is dead. Gohan has more potential than you and Trunks is only a year old. All you're gonna do is keep getting your ass kicked over and over until you die." Bulma told him.
"If I die in battle then at least I died with my pride." Vegeta stated. He walked out after that.
"Yeah whatever." The female scientist said. Bulma looked over to the window. She felt trapped inside due to the chaos going on. She wanted to be free again and explore the world like she did in her younger days. It was getting old just staying at her home watching trunks all the time. Yes she was a mother but she didn't sign up to be a single parent.
As she was staring off into the sky. She noticed 2 figures headed towards Capsule Corps. Once they got closer, she immediately knew who they were. 'Why are they coming here now? Hmm this may be my only chance to actually talk to Android 17 before a fight happens.
Bulma dashed out of her lab and headed outside. The twin androids landed and started to head inside until they spotted their target approaching them. Seventeen couldn't help but smirk. "You're quite the brave one coming to meet us by yourself." He said.
Bulma took a deep breath and looked him straight in the eye. Again the same sensation. Loneliness and lust at their peak. "I'm not afraid of you two." She spoke up.
"I see and it seems you aren't even going to risk putting up a struggle." 18 replied.
"If you two wanted to kill me, you would've done so a long time ago." Bulma retorted.
Eighteen whistled, "She's good, yeah I think you made the right choice 17."
Seventeen nodded, "Look I'm going to cut to the chase. We want you to come with us. I'll explain everything and anything once we arrived at our destination." He spoke gently.
"And if I refuse?" Bulma asked.
"Then well kill your friends right here and now." He responded.
Bulma thought it over. She couldn't risk Gohan or trunks being killed but Vegeta on the other hand did just piss her off. Maybe he needs an ass kicking or two. It wouldn't bother her in the slightest bit but she decided to just do what they say. "Fine let's go but I can't fly just so you know."
"That's ok" Seventeen walked up and picked her up in his arms. "Hang on tight we have quiet the ways to go."
He took off into the sky with his sister behind him. Bulma decided to relax into the man and snuggled into him a bit more. 17 noticed this and couldn't help but smirk. 'This should be easier than I thought.' He thought to himself.
