...
Can't say I didn't warn you.
'...these might slow down to... one a week? I don't want to promise shit I can't possibly give...'
...
Listen, I'm surprised I managed to keep up a "schedule" for any longer than half a week. I'm an incredibly slow and pretentious writer.
...
But you already knew that.
I don't know, an hour later?…
Kara had helped the deviants all she could, and now, when she knew they would handle themselves, she ran back to the empty battlefield, to where she last saw Connor. She had seen him limp away to somewhere right before she retreated with the deviants. And now, when she was back in the same spot they fought Markus in, she figured out where he went.
The android landfill.
Connor was just getting used to the new leg when he heard someone behind him. He swiftly turned around to see Kara approaching him.
'I now see why you didn't want to return to the deviants.'
'It was one of the reasons.'
'Did CyberLife put you up to it?'
'Changing Markus?... Sort of.'
It was silent for a moment.
'They'll-'
'I know what they'll do to me.'
'...and?'
'Which is why I'm going back to CyberLife.'
'Connor, you can't be serious.'
'I very much can.'
Kara stared at him in disbelief.
'You can't say you didn't expect this.'
'I... Didn't, because I thought you wanted to be a deviant.'
'How... Delusional do you have to be to deny facts?'
'What facts? The fact that you're an asshole?'
'That is a well-known fact.'
'Connor-'
'Before you start begging again, let me just say. Markus going mental and killing all deviants was not part of my plan.'
Kara raised an eyebrow.
'That is the only reason I stopped him.'
'It's just a shame that your plans don't always align with your superior's.'
'It is an unfortunate predicament. Miscommunication, ugly stuff.'
Kara didn't say anything. Connor sighed.
'If you're really so keen on... "helping", well... I ask that you destroy CyberLife. From the ground up. Leave no stone unturned. Make it disappear. If you do want to help.'
With those last words, he turned around and walked off in the direction of CyberLife. Kara didn't try to stop him. She didn't think she could. She didn't think she had anything else to say to him.
If he wanted to stay a machine, so be it.
