This day, you were going a bit more into the city. To visit your grandparents that hated Androids even more than your family. They even hired a 'real' life person as a maid to take care of them instead of an Android. Yeah, they were those kinds of people. Luckily that took one person off of the streets though.

You looked around at the train station. Seeing the buzzing lights and people walking to and fro. You then turned to inside the train and looked around at the people on the train. No one carried Androids into a train because they were not allowed on. This personally frustrated you to no ends but you really couldn't do anything about it. It's not like anyone would listen to a single teenager anyway.

"Meow." cried Elizabeth, your cat. You looked over to your purse Elizabeth has learned to stay in during Train rides. You smiled and petted her, giving her some attention she wished to have. She purred and went back to resting in the bag again.

You overheard the spot you needed to be dropped off at and stood up from your spot and over to your parents closer to the door, you needed to exit.

Then you walked around the place, you turned over to see more people moving from place to place. Seeing Android's being poorly treated. You sighed and turned away, thinking about how you wish you could step in and help them out. What can you do? You'll be called an Android Sympathizer as though it's a bad thing. And no one will want to hire an Android Sympathizer. Not even desperately needed Engineers for the future.

You've learned that Androids will have to be the first to make a move, and when that happens, you'll be right beside them. The funny thing was you found a person going underneath the fence as though he wasn't suspicious. He turned back looking around and you found that your eyes connect. You brought a finger up to your lips and smirked as you showed him you'd keep quiet. He nodded and jogged off into the unknown.

Strange man… Strange man… No… He isn't quite a man. He's an Android. You could tell through his eyes that one day he was going to be a man. You smiled and started off at the figure of the person that was once there.

Elizabeth woke up and looked around at the place you were at. "Meow?" Then she looked over to the spot that you were dozing off at and looked up to you. If you were focusing you would see her confusion about the obsession over that spot. It's not like there was a bird, or a squirrel or anything.

Your parents seemed to see you lagging once your cat spoke up and brought you back to the reality of what was going on in front of you. Your mother told you, "Come on (Y/n), what are you looking out?" She looked over to where you were staring at.

You smirked and looked over to your Mom. "I'm sorry, Mom. I was thinking about something. Nothing special about that place."

She smiled and patted your shoulder and you followed her over to another part of Detroit that you knew well.

Your Grandparents house. They were nice people, they just didn't see why Androids are so amazing. Or why we were so dependent on them as they put it. Or many, many other things. I understood them why Androids seemed to be such a normal part of life and the issue of that. What if they have humanity in them and decide to leave them in their poor state?

But you knew they would never understand that, so why bring up such an idea?

Your father knocked on the door and your Mother pulled you up closer to the door. You tried to relax as much as possible, even with family, you weren't very social with them.

The human maid there answered the door for you and your family. She smiled at us and asked, " Good to see you guys again! The others were expecting you to come over! Did you bring that hunk of metal?" You cringed at the name she gave Rebecca. You smiled anyway.

"Don't worry, we didn't." Dad calmly responded back.

Mom pushed you into the apartment. You looked around at the photos of relatives and personal achievements of relatives. It was amazing how such a short time ago Androids and electronics weren't surrounding them. It was about Mom and Dad's time that phones came in and the technology progression started. It amazed you and you couldn't help but wonder what it must have been like.

"Is everything alright (Y/n)?" You turned over to the maid and nodded. Then you followed her to where your parents and grandparents were at. You smiled at the sight of them.

"Hello, (Y/n), good to see you again." Your grandfather greeted you.

You smiled and nodded, "Hello Grandpa, Hello Grandma. Good to see you again." The cat in your bag meowed and you let her go to the floor as she explored the place for the first time.

Your Grandmother smiled at the sight of the cat and commented, "My! What a sweet kitty! It's not plastic, is it?"

That was the only thing you had some issue with Androids. Pets can go extinct with cyber life's pretty animal recreations. You were sure they might have thoughts and a soul themselves, but that's just torture-some to those like Elizabeth. A cat left for dead, that you rescued yourself. Pet control seemed to be less and less of a needed job, that that scared you beyond belief.

"It's real Grandma. Her name is Elizabeth."

Your grandma called her over, she looked up at her and then turned away. "She's very shy," You told Grandma.

Dad blew some raspberries and scoffed, "It only likes you (Y/n). It's a rescue and (Y/n) took it in. Poor thing was abandoned by its owners for one of those new forever Young kittens. It was terrible."

"Well, honey, what do you plan on being?" Grandpa asked you. He waved the maid a signal and she went off to get something.

"I'd like to be an engineer or a vet. With how things are going, an engineer might be more stable if a job."

Mom stepped in, "She loves animals. Ever since she was a child you would find her playing with the neighbor's dog or a stray animal. Ever since we've gotten into the debate on animal life and its important value in society."

Soon they have forgotten about you and ranted on about how evil and messed up Androids are. The maid disappeared and you asked if you could leave so you could look around.

They nodded you off and you went looking for Elizabeth. "Liz, if you don't come out of hiding, you might be stuck here until we come back."

She ran right out of her hiding place underneath the cabinet and into your arms.

"There you go. Now that they're busy, let's look around." You whispered to her.

You walked out of the apartment without anyone looking and went up. "Last time here I found out about an abandoned place. Since I've got pepper spray let's go check it out."

"Meow."

And thus away you went. You walked around the dead looking place. Elizabeth freaking out a bit about. "It's okay, Liz, it's gonna be alright. Just open the door, look around a bit, and then leave!" You cheered and walked over to the door.

It was not locked, thankfully, and you entered in with Elizabeth in your arms. She shot up, sensing something and started to run into the apartment.

"Elizabeth! No!" You cried out and ran over to the running cat. The place seemed abandoned enough. Maybe you can make a fort out of this place?

You stopped in front of the cage of birds with Elizabeth pawing into the air for them.

You chuckled and kneeled down closet to her height. "Daw, can Elizabeth not get the birdies?" You teased her. She lowered her head and, "Meow." she sadly commented back.

You grinned as you knew she said yes. And walked over to her. "If there's a cage that means someone takes care of them here. We better leave before we cause any more trouble. Come on."

You picked her up as she longingly looked over to the pigeons in the cage. "Piggins?" You commented to yourself and looked in closer to the cage to conform to yourself what you were seeing.

"I-its-human!"

I turned over to see a man, terrified. "I-I'm sorry sir! My cat ran in! I promise I'll leave as soon as I can!"

"D-don't tell anyone about me!"

"Are you an ice dealer?"

"No!"

"Drug dealer?"

"No."

"Kidnap people? Any black market stuff?"

"I just take care of the birds that love me."

You nodded, "Okay, I trust you. I won't turn you in."

"Why? Why human?"

"Why? Because I can tell you're not a bad person. May I come to visit again sometime?"

"Why?"

"Because you seem nice. I like animals more than people too. Maybe we can get to know each other better and become friends. I only have the family Android Rebecca and Elizabeth as friends. They're very dear to me, but that means that I don't do very much outside of my home." You went over to Elizabeth and picked her up and took her into your arms.

"I only have the birds. The birds like me, no one else likes me." He looked over at the birds, smiling.

This made you smile as well, "Well, I'm (Y/n). And I want to try to be friends with you."

He tensed up and looked away at a wall, "I'm… I don't feel comfortable giving you my name."

"That's alright. Should I give a special knock when I come over?"

He nodded. Frowning still. "Do you… like Androids."

"Yes, they are more logical than humans. And… I personally feel as though they're alive. Or, they have feelings, emotions and care for things. Like Rebecca!"

The man widened his eyes. "So she's an Android."

"Yes."

He smiled. "Then you're welcomed here. Let's work on a knock and I can show you around."

You smiled. Maybe you can have a friend. Sure, he looks like a creepy dude, but his aura of anything but that. And you do trust your sense, or gut, more than any person's opinion.

You and he went over to the front door and worked on a specialized knock. Tink Tink. Silence for a moment, then Tink, Tink. You got it down and he smiled, "You're not like most people I've found out there."

"Well, if everyone was the same, it would be a very boring world. Don't you think?"

"But if everyone was the same, then there would be no conflict, no chaos."

You've never thought of that before. "You're right unless everyone had the same idea of conflict and chaos."

He chuckled and whispered to himself, "No like any human I've seen…"

You smirked to yourself as he then processed to show you his home. He really seems to have a bad view of Humans. Hopefully, just hopefully, you could change that for him. Not everyone is bad. Not everyone hated people like him.

"Here I have the kitchen, then over here I have the living room." You looked around, seeing more and more that this guy wasn't made of flesh and bone. Especially since he didn't have any food or special human conditions, like a bed, or a proper couch.

You started to understand why the house was in much of a condition it was in. You happily listened as he excitedly ranted on. He seemed happy to have someone else to talk with as well.

Then you asked if the both of you could sit down and talk to get to know each other better. He agreed.

Then Elizabeth's head shot up and looked over to where the front door was, "Gah! I better go before my parents' scowl at me or someone finds you! Goodbye!"

"Goodbye (Y/n)."
