If there's one thing John Connor loved, it was the summer months, sleeping with the window open, the breeze working to counter the suns early morning heat. Yep, John certainly enjoyed waking up in the morning when the day started out like this. He opened his eyes and took in a deep lung full of the fresh morning air and smiled contentedly to himself. He tried to bring his hand up to rub his sleepy eyes, but he found it trapped by a weight at his side. Upon closer inspection he discovered the offending weight to be Cameron, closely snuggled against his side.
Oh great, I'm having another nightmare about her killing me in her endoskeleton form.
He sighed sadly and thought to himself, 'what the hell, may as well enjoy it'. He brought his free hand up and ran it through her long curls, marvelling at how soft it felt wrapped around his fingers. Suddenly he felt her hand start moving against his chest, tracing small patterns on his t-shirt. She looked up at him and smiled.
Huh, no metal skull, that's a bonus.
"Hi" she said brightly.
"Hi" he smiled in return.
She caught the pensive look on his face and immediately grew concerned she'd done something wrong.
"What's wrong?" she asked nervously.
"Oh, nothing, I'm just wondering how long this dream will last before you turn in to an endoskeleton and kill me" he shrugged apologetically.
She tilted her head at him before giving him an 'are you an idiot' look.
"John, this isn't a dream. It's me, I'm here" she sat up, as if it would help to prove her point.
He chuckled slightly and pulled her back down to his side to resume playing with her hair.
"No you're not, I've had this nightmare before. We wake up like this, then you turn in to an endoskeleton, then we're in a wasteland surrounded by triple eights and then you kill me while kissing me"
If she wasn't so concerned about his mental state she would've found his statement both fascinating and amusing. Instead she shook her head slightly and pinched his nipple through his shirt and twisted, hard.
"OWWWW, what the hell?" he instantly shot up straight from his lying position, if Cameron had been human she'd probably have been thrown clear across the room.
She laid a hand on his chest and attempted to gently push him back down. He resisted however, earning himself a slight huff of annoyance and forcing her to sit up with him.
"John, this is real. You're not dreaming"
"Yeah, I get that..." he said agitatedly, gingerly rubbing his sore nipple "...but did you have to give me a titty twister to prove it?"
"No, but short of squeezing your testicles too hard it was the easiest way to convince you of that fact"
John glared in her direction while still rubbing before breaking out in to a small smirk. He lay back down on the bed, pulling her down with him, very glad she'd chosen to torture his nipple instead of his man parts.
"You're evil you know that?"
A small smile played across her face as she brought her hand up to replace his, gently tending to his sore chest.
"Really? Last night you said I was an angel. Which is it John?"
He scrunched up his face in surprise at her sudden playful mood.
"Okay, what have I done now for you to be torturing me like this?"
"Torturing you? If I was torturing you you'd know about it. This..." she gave a quick rub over his nipple for emphasis "...is for messing up our date the other day"
A wicked smile was present on her face when she lifted it up to meet his, confirming his surprise at her quirky mood.
"Well I did apologise didn't I?" she merely shrugged and went back to occupying herself with his t-shirt.
"So...how come you're suddenly in bed with me? I'm pretty sure I was alone when I went to sleep"
"You were, but Amy relieved me from my patrol an hour ago"
"And you thought you'd just crawl under the covers with me?" not that he was complaining "Speaking of that..." he lifted the covers and checked what she was wearing, pleased to find a pair of pink boy short panties and a white tank top "...I'm sorta glad you're still dressed under there. I don't think I could resist the temptation if you weren't" he added playfully.
"No, you couldn't..." she agreed "...but you did ask me to come to bed with you..."
Huh, I guess I did.
"...and you said my name in your sleep"
"I did?" he asked, surprised. I didn't know I talked in my sleep.
"Yes, you sounded like you needed me, so I came to you. You stopped calling for me after I did"
"Well in that case thank you, and you're back to being an angel in my eyes" he smiled as he placed a kiss on the top of her head.
She responded by snuggling closer and draping her leg over his.
"So...what's the plan for today?"
"My plan was to stay here until Sarah woke up and then we would finish cleaning the weapon stock. But Sarah left three hours ago. I believe she had some business to take care of with Derek"
"What kind of business?"
"She didn't say, she said it was personal and she snapped at me to 'mind my own business'"
"Cool..." he respected his mother's privacy and had stopped thinking about what she got up to in her own time years ago "...so that means we have the house to ourselves?" he asked with a grin while running his hand up under the back of her top.
"We do, but that doesn't mean I'm going to spend all day making out with you"
John let out a frustrated grunt and removed his hand.
"How's Amy today?"
"She seems better. She has a reason to be happy now"
"Really, why?"
"Sarah gave her new ID papers yesterday. As far as the U.S. government is concerned she's now Amy Baum. Sarah made her a member of our family"
"Our family? What makes you think I think of you as family?" he asked teasingly, poking her side.
"Technically I'm still your 'sister'" she dragged her leg up higher on his and then lower again in a steady rhythm.
"Yeah, don't remind me"
"I won't"
She slid her whole body up higher on to his so that she was on top of him and all her weight was now on him. Despite her crushing weight and his increased difficulty in breathing, John found himself trailing his hands up her sides and planting a tender kiss on her lips. He pulled back after a moment and looked at her slightly flushed face with pure desire burning in his eyes.
"I, I..." he knew exactly what he wanted to tell her, and from the look on her face she wanted him to say it too. Just say it you idiot, tell her you love her "...I'm really glad that mom seems to like Amy"
Yep, he wussed out. She frowned slightly and climbed off of him.
"Wait, where are you going?" John asked while sitting up in his bed.
"I'm going to clean the weapons..." her scary robot voice and face suddenly gave way to a sexy smile "...they can't clean themselves, they're not as advanced as me"
With that she turned and walked towards the door. Despite having seen her naked when they time travelled, John still found himself staring at her pink panty covered butt as she slinked away. When she reached the door, she looked at his open mouthed expression over her shoulder. With one last wink in his direction she left the room. John was now thoroughly confused, but inordinately happy all the same.
Amy came in from her sentry duty at 9am exactly, despite her childlike behaviour she was still after all a machine. She wandered in to the kitchen and took a seat at the table watching Cameron as she prepared breakfast for John, the ability to memorise recipes is a wonderful thing.
"Is your model designed to eat?" Cameron asked without looking back from the stove.
"No"
And people used to say I wasn't very talkative.
"What do you think of becoming Amy Baum?"
Amy merely shrugged and continued to watch Cameron.
"It's a good thing. Although it means that if I'm Amy Baum and eventually Amy Connor, and you'll eventually become Cameron Connor by marrying John Connor, will that make you my sister in law?"
Amy watched with a grin on her face as Cameron stopped what she was doing and assessed what she'd just told her. Eventually she returned to her task.
"Yes, I expect it will"
As if on cue John entered the kitchen.
"Good morning Ms. Baum" he said happily while patting Amy's head, earning himself an annoyed glare at the back of his head. Amy actually had to resist the 'Terminate' order flashing up on her HUD. Damn Skynet compulsions.
John strolled over to Cameron and confidently placed a quick kiss on her cheek from behind and whispered quietly in her ear. He knew that in all probability Amy could hear, but he still at least attempted to keep their conversation private.
"Hey, um, sorry if you were expecting me to say something else back there, I will get there and say it eventually okay"
She nodded her head and turned to smile at him, safe in the knowledge that this relationship was real, it was happening, and she was gonna do everything she could to make it happen.
"What's for breakfast then?" he asked as he sat down next to Amy.
"I've prepared a healthy omelette for you today. I'm also informing you that you're now officially banned from bacon for a while. You eat far too much of it to be considered healthy"
John's jaw dropped. For a man to be denied access to bacon by his girlfriend was an absolute travesty in his eyes.
"What kind of omelette?" he asked warily with his eyes narrowed.
She set a plate down in front of him and let her hand linger on it, drawing his attention to her and away from the quite frankly delicious looking meal she'd prepared for him.
"Chilli and cheese, we're not built to be that cruel" she said with a smirk, withdrawing her hand.
John grumbled something under his breath about her being a smartass and looked over to Amy. She had quietly observed the exchange, noting the similarities to what she knew of their relationship in the future. When they were alone, Cameron definitely wore the pants in this relationship.
"I take it your model doesn't eat?"
Just as Amy was about to reply and John had raised a forkful of omelette half way to his mouth, they were disturbed by a light knock on the door. John lowered his fork and started to rise when he was forcefully pushed back down in to his seat by Cameron. He stared at her confused for a moment before she spoke.
"Stay here, I'll answer the door..." she reached around the back of her waistband and pulled out the glock she always kept concealed there and walked towards the door "...and you'd better eat all of that John Connor"
He smirked in reply and took a mouthful of the heavenly tasting concoction in front of him.
"Yes, mother" he called after her.
John went back to tucking in to his meal while Cameron cautiously approached the door. She opened it swiftly and scanned the surrounding area and found only a luxury black car in the driveway. She was so occupied scanning for threats that she failed to notice the little red headed girl standing on the door step.
"Hi" she said nervously up at the suddenly imperious looking but still beautiful woman.
Cameron tilted her head and stared at the little girl for a long few moments before allowing her expression to relax. She tucked the glock back in to her waistband and put on her best 'infiltration' smile.
"Hello...are you lost?"
Savannah seemed to relax a little at the smile from the nice lady.
"No, my mommy told me to come here and knock on the door"
"Where's your mommy?"
"She's waiting in the car, she told me that a pretty lady would answer and that I had to say, um..." she racked her brains to remember what she had to say. Eventually she remembered and pronounced each word carefully "...she told me to say that she would like to talk to you and John about the future, and that she wants to say sorry to Amy"
When she'd finished a proud smile formed on her face at her success at repeating what her mother had told her. Her smile was quickly removed at the now blank and slightly menacing look on Cameron's face. Savannah started back stepping slightly until Cameron's face suddenly softened. She realised she'd been scaring the poor girl and tried to make amends. She crouched down in front of her and smiled sweetly.
"Sweetie, could you go back to your mommy and tell her that she can enter in 2 minutes. Tell her I'll be keeping my eyes open for her" Cameron gave Savannah another smile before gently turning her around and nudging her back towards the car. Her expression reverted to a blank slate and she swiftly closed the door and turned to the waiting John and Amy.
"The T-1001 is here. John, please go upstairs and wait in my room, there's a grenade launcher hidden in my closet, use it if we can't stop it. Amy, I need you to..."
"No..." John spoke up in a firm voice to deny her request, earning himself an impatient stare from Cameron.
"...I'm not just gonna hide again Cameron. Also, if this machine wanted me dead I would be, it wouldn't be sending a little girl to knock on our front door to ask to speak to us"
"John..."
"No, Cameron, this isn't up for debate. I want to hear what she has to say. The only way I'm leaving is if you drag me kicking and screaming out of here"
The look on her face made John instantly regret what he'd just said. She looked like she was actually considering taking him up on his suggestion. He really, really hoped she wouldn't call his bluff, but more importantly he hoped she wouldn't refuse his request. He would never order her to do anything again and knew deep down he couldn't, the only thing he could do was to ask her to comply. Her body moved towards him a fraction of an inch when Amy, who had been quietly observing the exchange, spoke.
"Cameron, I think he's right"
Two faces turned towards Amy, surprise clearly written all over them. Considering what they'd recently been told about her history with this machine, both John and Cameron thought she'd be the last one to want to meet with it again.
"Wait, you're saying you're okay with seeing this Weaver again?" John asked, clearly not understanding her motivation.
"I think that this opportunity is too important to pass up. In the future, the two resistances never worked together, they even fought for resources sometimes. If we could unite the two, right here, right now, we could send Skynet to an early grave"
Although still a little bemused at the whole situation, John turned to Cameron with a smug, triumphant grin on his face. After a few moments consideration, she sighed far too dramatically.
"Fine, just promise me you'll be careful, and don't say anything stupid to piss this machine off"
"Like I would do that..." at her 'are you being a jackass on purpose' look, he quickly stepped forward and kissed her cheek "...fine, I promise, Your Highness"
John thought he saw the merest hint of a smile dance across her lips as she turned to open the door while not so discreetly keeping John away from any direct lines of fire with her arm. She looked out to see a red haired woman walking up their driveway holding the little girls hand. John craned his neck to try and see past Cameron while Amy took up a defensive position in front of him, just in case. The pair reached the doorway and a bright smile formed on Savannah's face at the sight of another girl her age.
"Mr. Connor, Ms. Phillips, may we come in?" a soft Scottish accent emerged from the T-1001's mouth, much to John's surprise.
Cameron's face betrayed nothing, but her free hand snaked its way around to her back and to her weapon. If Weaver noticed, she didn't say anything. John however did notice and quickly moved to place his hand on the small of her back, blocking her path to the gun.
"Yes, of course" John spoke from behind Cameron while taking her hand in his own and giving it a reassuring squeeze.
They stepped across the threshold and stood with Catherine's hands on Savannah's shoulders.
"This is my daughter Savannah. Savannah, I'd like you to meet John, Cameron and Amy" she gestured to each in turn while making the introductions.
"Hello" Savannah said shyly, trying to edge further back in to her mother's legs.
Catherine crouched down and turned Savannah around to face her. She spoke in a gentle, motherly voice.
"Savannah dear, I have some things I must discuss with John and Cameron. Would you be a good girl and go and play with Amy for a while?"
Savannah nodded after a moment, still somewhat reluctant to leave her mother in this unfamiliar house.
"Excellent..." Catherine looked up from Savannah "...I trust she will be okay with Amy?"
To Savannah it sounded like she was asking the grownups in the room, but her gaze was directed squarely at Amy. A silent question passed between the two, will she be safe with you, will you harm her? Amy had no problem with the innocent child, her problem was with her so called mother. A small nod from Amy was all Catherine needed as she quickly stood to her full height again.
"Okay, go on you two" she gently nudged Savannah towards Amy.
After a reluctant sounding sigh, a smile formed on Amy's face and she grabbed Savannah's hand and started tugging her towards the stairs.
"Come on, I'll show you my room"
The remaining three occupants in the room eyed each other up for a moment. John didn't quite know what to make of their guest. Cameron was on full alert, ready to throw herself in front of John at a moment's notice. Catherine meanwhile found herself fascinated by the joined hands of the cyborg and the human.
"First of all, permit me to make one thing clear. I care very dearly for Savannah. I've shown a great amount of trust in your little friend not to harm her, I would ask that you show me that same amount of trust when I tell you that I have no intentions of harming any of you. If I wanted you all dead, believe me when I say you would be by now..."
Catherine calmly strolled over and took a seat on the couch. She gestured confidently for the couple to sit on the couch opposite her.
"...Please, have a seat" she said it as if it were her own home.
John was the first to move toward the couch but was stopped by Cameron as she moved in front of him, taking up a position on the couch slightly in between him and Catherine.
She'll never give up on the whole mistrust thing will she?
"Okay, why are you here? What do you want to talk to us about?"
Catherine shifted her annoyed looking gaze away from Cameron towards John.
"Mr. Connor, I assume from your questioning of Mr. Ellison that you are aware that I have constructed an AI in the basement of Zeira Corp?"
At his hesitant nod she continued.
"I also assume that your little friend has told you of the role I play in the future..."
She didn't wait for any sort of confirmation before she carried on this time.
"...My machine resistance was able to amass such a large army quickly because of our aptitude at reprogramming Terminators. That ability was mostly derived from John Henry"
"John Henry?" John inquired.
"Yes, that name was given to him by Dr. Boyd Sherman. He felt it was necessary"
"Wait, what? Dr. Sherman? You knew him?"
"I did, he helped with John Henry's development. It was a shame he died"
While John took a moment to collect his thoughts, Cameron spoke.
"How do we know John Henry isn't Skynet?"
That's my girl, always to the point.
"Ms. Phillips, you of all should be aware that I am not your enemy. After all, I believe you know the question 'will you join us?'"
Cameron visibly flinched and stiffened the moment the words left her mouth. She lowered her head and eyes away from Weaver for the first time since she'd entered the house. John discreetly reached out and placed his hand on the small of her back, idly rubbing his thumb over the thin sliver of skin between her shirt and her jeans.
"What are you proposing Ms. Weaver?"
"I am proposing an alliance Mr. Connor. Apparently the humans of this world will see you as some sort of messiah, however we both know you are just a man..."
John scrunched up his face in a mild form of protest. Maybe I like being a messiah.
"...My resistance is capable of beating Skynet eventually, however I believe that with your assistance, we can do it much quicker"
"Wait, wait, wait, my assistance? The last time I checked, I'm the one who's supposed to lead humanity to ultimate victory over Skynet, not you"
Although his words were abrupt, his tone didn't carry any hint of malice or anger, merely confusion. Catherine tilted her head and smiled a rather creepy smile.
"Times have changed Mr. Connor. If it suits your ego, you can think of it as me assisting you. However it doesn't really matter as long as we defeat Skynet does it?"
"What do you have in mind?"
"A partnership. With the assets I've managed to accumulate in this timeline I believe I have more than enough to build a strong foundation for your resistance. The only thing I ask in return is that you use your influence over the human population that you will one day command, to push the idea of co-operation between humans and machines"
"Co-operation?"
"I've seen the future. I feel that reprogramming machines to serve your needs and to sacrifice themselves for the sake of humans doesn't count as co-operation. What I want is true co-operation and integration. Such as what you have with your cyborg here..." she gestured to Cameron sitting next to him.
John ran his hand a little higher up Cameron's back underneath her shirt and gave her side a small squeeze to get her attention.
"...I understand that humans will be mistrusting of machines initially, however I have seen that we can work and exist together..."
She drifted off as her mind wandered to thoughts of Savannah. John's mind wandered to thought of Cameron.
"...what is your response Mr. Connor?"
John took a deep breath to try and clear his thoughts. He looked over to Cameron to see her still in a funk about something. He removed his hand from her back and stood, Cameron swiftly following suit.
"Would you excuse us for a minute?"
"Wow, your room is so cool. Mine's boring, it's all grey and dull. Mommy says 'it matches the rest of the house'"
Savannah stood in the middle of the room admiring the bright pink walls while Amy stood warily behind her near the door. The resemblance is uncanny.
"Thanks, Sarah helped me with it"
Savannah turned to face her.
"Who's Sarah?"
"She's...she's my mommy" Amy said with a slight twinge of sadness in her voice.
"Where is she?"
"She had to go out, she left me with John and Cameron" she threw her thumb over her shoulder to indicate the staircase.
"Oh, so they're your brother and sister?"
Amy paused to consider that for a moment.
"Sort of...it's complicated" Savannah smiled and sat down in the middle of the floor rug cross legged. She picked up Barney Bear and started playing with his furry arms.
"How's it complicated? Are they your brother and sister or not?"
Oh how persistent children are.
Amy sighed and sat down on the rug opposite Savannah and picked up Mr. Rabbit.
"John's sort of my brother, and Cameron's his girlfriend. But I think of them as my brother and sister anyway. They're getting married someday you know"
"Ewww, boys stink, but Cameron's really pretty. She reminds me of my friend though"
Oh?
"Oh really? Who's your friend? How does Cameron remind you of her?"
"Not her, John Henry's a boy"
"I thought you said boys stink" Amy smiled a bright smile and Savannah laughed in reply, lightening the uncomfortableness she was feeling.
"They do, but John Henry's really nice. He plays with me and I'm teaching him to sing. We learned how to do 'Donald where's your trousers' last week"
"That's awesome. How does Cameron remind you of him? She doesn't look like him does she?" another laugh from Savannah as she continued playing with Barney Bear.
"No, don't be silly...I dunno, I guess the way she talks and moves the same way John Henry does. Mommy used to move that way when Daddy died, but now she's back to being old mommy"
Alarm bells instantly started ringing in Amy's head. Savannah knew another machine. Could this be the one who was with Weaver in the future?
"What does this John Henry look like?" she put on her best childlike curious expression and idly stroked Mr. Rabbit's ears.
"He's got blonde hair and he's really big, almost as big as Mr. Ellison and he lives in my mommy's basement at work" Savannah dropped Barney Bear and slapped her hands over her mouth.
"What's wrong?"
Savannah slowly removed her hands from her mouth and looked around the room, double checking there was nobody else present. She leaned in closer to Amy.
"That was supposed to be a secret. You have to promise you won't tell" Savannah looked on the verge of tears at revealing the secret about her friend.
Amy smiled a very disarming smile and held out her little finger.
"Pinky swear"
Savannah tentatively hooked her pinky around Amy's.
"Pinky swear"
Both 'children' smiled brightly and Savannah looked at the abundance of toys strewn around the room until one caught her eye.
"Oh wow, cool..."
John entered the kitchen and took up a position leaning against the counter. Cameron followed him in and took up a position between the two rooms where she could keep an eye on both occupants. John huffed and walked over to her. He grabbed her hand hanging loosely by her side and tugged a little. She allowed him to guide her further in to the kitchen and gave him a quizzical look.
"If she wanted to kill us she'd have done it already. I don't wanna have to shout at you from across the room, sorta defies the point of coming to talk in a different room..."
At her reluctant nod he continued on.
"...okay then. Now, what's the deal with all this 'will you join us' crap? You seemed to flinch when she said those words..."
Silence.
"...Cameron, don't do this to me. I thought we were past keeping secrets?"
She raised her eyes up to meet his and seemed to be mulling over her choices. Either tell him the truth or risk pissing him off again. John gets pissed off easily...I'd better tell him the truth.
"I've had dealings with this machine before"
"Wha, you've what? How?" John shook his head in surprise.
She tentatively took a step forward until she was right in front of him, looking up slightly in to his eyes.
"In the future, my future, you tried to form an alliance with the leader of the machine resistance"
"I did?"
"Yes, several machines became sentient like me and chose not to fight for Skynet and instead chose to form a rebellion of their own. They were more efficient at reprogramming machines and had soon amassed a sizeable army"
"How come I'm only hearing about this now, and through the machine sitting in there?" there was a definite hint of anger in his voice, but what hurt Cameron the most was the sound of his apparent disappointment again.
"You didn't ask..." she deadpanned "...but it doesn't really matter, the alliance was never created"
"Why not?" he subtly ignored her blunt comment.
"Commander Flores"
"Jesse? What the hell did she have to do with all this?"
"Commander Flores was second in command of your only nuclear submarine, the U.S.S. Jimmy Carter. She led a mutiny while the ship was transporting a T-1001 back to Serrano Point. The T-1001 now known as Weaver evidently deemed humans to be incapable of supporting her resistance and declined the offer of 'Will you join us'"
John leaned backwards on to the counter again, struggling to take all this new information in. Cameron moved forward again and tentatively took his hand in her own and brought it between them. She seemed to just be examining his hand for a moment. John watched her face with genuine fascination at the myriad of expressions she had while performing her strange inspection.
"Are you okay?" she looked up from their joined hands at his inquiry and smiled slightly.
"I'm fine. John..." her hesitation was noticeable, it wasn't like Cameron to be this conflicted about something. John gave her hand a small squeeze to try and reassure her "...John, there are many things you don't know about me and about my mission. I didn't know that the T-1001 was present in this timeline, however this now presents us with an opportunity we wouldn't otherwise have. This AI she is building could be the key to defeating Skynet. If it weren't for the recent developments in our relationship I would have considered sacrificing myself to help with the development of John Henry"
John's mouth dropped open at her frank admission.
"You, you would have what? How could you say that? No, I won't let you" by now his voice had risen significantly and panic was etched all over his face at the thought of his Cameron killing herself for some other machine. She spoke in a soft voice to try and reassure him.
"John, I'm not going anywhere. I said if it weren't for our relationship then I would do it. Maybe in another time, I would've given John Henry my chip. The benefits would far outweigh my continued existence"
Her words seemed to calm him. He nodded and smiled a sheepish smile.
"Sorry, I guess I just can't stand the thought of losing you. Stupid really"
She brought her free hand up to caress his cheek lovingly.
"I think it's sweet"
I don't care how mushy it is, but damn I love this girl.
"Thank you...now, back to business. What's your opinion of this Weaver chick anyway?"
She cocked her head at his description of the unstoppable killing machine currently sat in their living room.
"While the decision is ultimately yours, all I'll say is that future you thought it was a good idea, and so do I"
John looked away for a long few minutes while he considered what to do. He weighed up all the pro's and con's before he finally came to a decision. His eyes returned to hers to find them patiently waiting for him. He smiled slightly at her puppy dog expression and raised their still joined hands to press a kiss to her fingers.
"Well, I guess we'd better go talk to our new ally"
