'Vitals are stabilizing.'
'Conscious is active.'
Kara blinked her eyes open. There was a bright light shining on her and she heard several people moving around her. She was strapped to a bed of metal.
'Do your work, Hunter.'
The person addressed grumbled.
'Just because I'm the only one with this ability doesn't mean I need some title to be called by. Connor is fine, honestly.'
Kara couldn't see what was going on, but she heard two bodies falling to the ground. A face appeared over her.
'Am I right to assume you don't really want to be a machine again?'
It was the android she saw die just an hour earlier.
'Aren't you...'
'Like someone very observant already pointed out, I am, in a way, immortal.'
The straps holding her down came off and she sat up.
'Kara, isn't it?'
She nodded, uncertain why the infamous deviant hunter was so friendly towards a deviant.
'I'm not going to hurt you.'
Kara narrowed her eyes at him.
'Really, I mean it.'
Seeing that she was still unconvinced, Connor kept talking.
'I don't know why you came to CyberLife or how you got this far, but you're not getting out of here the same way.'
Sounds oddly menacing.
'I might be of some help.'
Oh.
'The deviant hunter aligning...'
'A CyberLife android helping a deviant, I know it's unheard of… but I have no ulterior motive.'
Kara didn't know what to think. On one hand, she got what she came for. On the other, could she really trust this guy?'
'Trust me, Kara. I'm not what you think.'
You don't know what I think.
She took a deep breath.
'Alright. What's your suggestion?'
'Air ducts.'
She raised an eyebrow.
'The system is a massive labyrinth twisted through the whole building. If you know the way, you can get into pretty much anything.'
'Okay?...'
'If we get to a higher floor, we could jump off with parachutes and land on the bridge – out of range for all guns.'
'I don't suppose you have two parachutes in your pocket.'
'I can make them appear in my hands. Good enough?'
Connor stepped back, climbed onto a cabinet, pried open a ventilation shaft and slipped through the opening. Kara stood up.
'You coming?' came from the tunnel.
Like I have much of a choice.
AN: You may have noticed that Kara is a bit different from the sweet and loving mother in the original. I… may have made a few… tweaks, simply because I like her more this way. I just felt like she was overshadowed by THE deviant hunter and THE leader of the revolution, you know?
Don't worry. She's still your sweet Kara, protective of all she loves. And that will come into play.
