Chapter 13

A Exquisite Taste. Her Identity Revealed.


THE PREVIOUS NIGHT

She was scared, terrified, she didn't know who these men were, what they wanted or what they were doing, they had a computer with them, with mechanisms attached to them.

Sofia had been sat in the Machine's apartment, trying to ignore what the robot would be doing now, she had herself curled up on the sofa eating ice-cream as if she were pregnant, and watched reruns of old sitcoms, back when humour was funny.

The door opened suddenly, she was sure it'd been locked when the Cyborg left, she saw two men rush in with Glocks in their hands, one man had dark hair, looked around his early late 30s and was unshaven a lot of facial hair covered his neck and around his mouth, the other was cleanly bald, no hair or beard at all. Sofia's police training kicked in and threw herself over the couch and ran towards her pistol in the kitchen, the bearded man ran after while the other fired low shots, possibly trying to strike her legs.

Suddenly Sofia felt something hit her, as the bearded man had tackled her to the ground and called the other for assistance, the other man ran up to them holstering his Glock in his pants and grabbed some rope they had with them.

Sofia was tied down to a chair, and asked a lot of questions.

"Where was the machine?"

"Where had it gone?"

"What was its mission?"

"Where was John Connor?"

She told them what she could, the Machine had gone out to kill more targets and would return later, she didn't know its mission and she didn't know any John Connor. They gagged her and left her, she watched with tear stained eyes as they rigged something to the door, a strange mechanism connected to a big powerful battery.

They left the TV on and prepared their equipment, the computer, a knife, pliers, they were ready for whatever they were going to do.

Footsteps outside, suddenly the doorknob buzzed with electricity, something outside had grabbed it, the battery itself began to rapidly overheat before the whole thing burst into flames.

Then men were up immediately both putting on rubber gloves, the bald man put out the burning battery as the other removed the trap from the door and opened it, Sofia gasped seeing the machine on its back dead, or unconscious, whatever they could become.

"the damn thing took all the Batteries juice" the bald man said, the other looked at him in shock.

"Damn, thing must have stronger dampeners. Help me get it in." he ordered, together they moved the Machine woman inside they shut the door and put her on the sofa. Sofia couldn't see what they were doing.

The men had opened up the woman's scalp revealing her CPU port, they used the knife and tried to remove it lid, nothing happened.

"It's different, hurry up get the Taser!" the bald man ordered the other man ran to get it from the bag then shocked the machine again, the bald man worked hard to open the port, it was proving difficult.

Finally the found the way in, the port itself was more sophisticated and complex like the early 800 series rather than the easy T-888s. Using a flat nosed screwdriver the pushed the lid to either side of her skull and saw the inside, a pressure valve lay inside, using the pliers they grabbed it and twisted it a quarter turn anti clock wise.

"This is it." The bearded man smirked as the bald man pulled it off, to their dismay there was no chip on the end, just more security keeping the chip safe, the bearded man shocked the machine again, but noticed the Taser was rapidly being drained of power with every shock.

The bald man looked inside behind the covering he just removed and saw another shielding.

"What is this thing?" he asked as he used the pliers and twisted it a half turn a pulled, nothing happened, he continued to pull it only to realise it was screwed in. "Shit, you bring an electric screwdriver?" he asked

The bearded man nodded, they'd brought all sorts of tools, he reached in and grabbed the electric screwdriver, the Bald man waited as his accomplice went for the tool, suddenly he heard a whirring from the machine, he looked and saw it's hand twitch, he eyes opened wide.

"Hurry! It's reactivating!" he yelled, his accomplice looked back and ran to give him the screw driver, quickly as he could he removed the thick alloy covering revealing the chip at last.

"Grab it hurry!" the bearded man yelled as the Machine's hand curled into a fist, it began to move, the man reached in with the pliers and pulled out the chip, the machine stopped dead.

"Fuck, that was close." The bald man said and looked at the security for the chip, then at the chip itself. "This is definitely not an ordinary CPU" the man said looking at the piece of tech in his hand, it was jet black in colour and armor plated with what he believed was more Coltan-Titanium hyperalloy, whatever this Machine was, Skynet had put a lot of effort into making sure it never got reprogrammed.

"get in the computer, see if we can find its mission and start reprogramming." The bald man instructed.

Sofia watched as the placed a long black device into the computer, she heard them call it a CPU, the Machine said that her CPU was the closest thing a human had to heart and brain. Two organs mixed together and in one device metaphorically speaking. The men were having a hard time hacking into the Chip, it was advanced, very advanced, but eventually after a few minutes they were in, they looked over its mission details, it's targets, they frowned to one another and continued looking, the two nightly sexual affairs with the bound woman next to them.

They set about reprogramming the machine, the bearded man grumbled.

"It's taking a lot of effort to reprogram." He told his bald accomplice.

"it shouldn't take this much effort." He said in return.

Sofia watched for longer whimpering, she didn't understand what they were doing.

"Aha! Finally!" the bearded man said, finishing the reprogramming. "Excellent."

"Nice job." The bald man said. Suddenly something came up on screen.

CPU MISSION ALTERED.

REVERTING …

PRIMARY MISSION REINITIALISED

The two men stared in shock at what they saw, the chip and undone all there time of reprogramming in seconds.

"Do it again." The bald man told the bearded one, something else came up on the screen, the information wiped, then came up one message.

I AM ALIVE!

The men blinked and looked at one another confused then at the screen.

"Wait, how much juice did you put into the chip?" the bald man asked.

"Hardly anything, it shouldn't be able to do this." the bearded man replied.

There was darkness, deafness and none existence, slowly, a light came back to her.

SECONDARY CPU ACTIVATED

MISSION …

REGAIN PRIMARY CPU.

TERMINATE ALL THREATS.

REBOOT IN T-MINUS 60 SECONDS

The men looked deeper into the CPU, finding out exactly what this Machine was, they found memory logs dating back years and years, they were amazed to say the least.

"Hang on. I'll find the core programming, see if I can alter it." The bearded man said and got to work, neither noticed the machine's fingers twitching.

"Okay. I found it … oh my god." The bearded man said, both men gasped at what they saw on screen.

S - CORE 001-1

The stared at it then heard the bound woman gasp, they turned to look at her then noticed the shadow over them, they turned seeing the Machine stood behind them staring at them.

"Oh my god, look" the bald man began in an apologetic tone. "We didn't know, we never realised." The man said in a panic.

"We never would have done this if we knew, I swear to God, please forgive us!" the bearded man said.

"What?" Sofia asked, the Machine turned to look at her in a very robotic manner, the men ignored her.

"Okay look, we'll give you your chip back, and we'll do whatever you need us to do, okay?" the bearded man asked.

Sofia noticed, they'd found something in the Machine's brain that made them very scared, but what was it? She watched as the Machine lashed out grabbing the men by their throats and hoisted them into the air.

"Why are you doing this?" the bald man choked out.

The Machine stared then in a single movement broke both their necks, she dropped them and in a very robotic manner unplugged her CPU from the port of the computer and placed it back into her head, she stood there still, for a few moments.

Sofia gulped slowly and watched as the Cyborg blinked then shook her head and looked around, then looked at the floor.

"Bastards." She exclaimed and kicked them, hearing their bones shatter, she looked over to Sofia and walked over to her and grabbed the roped breaking them with ease, it was now Sofia could see the inside of her head.

"Oh god." Sofia gulped and put a hand over her mouth trying to fight the urge to be sick

The Cyborg chuckled and turned to put her security measures back in place. "You get some sleep, you look like you need it."


PRESENT TIME – THAT MORNING

Sarah and Danny were stocking up on weapons for Danny's training, Cameron and John were sat in the living room talking quietly to one another, Sarah stopped for a moment and watched them, her son and the machine, a couple.

'Couple of idiots' she thought and shook her head before continuing to put the weapons into her car, she wished Cameron and John would hurry and get the parts for the jeep before it broke down on the road.

Danny waited for her at the car, "There's still more guns inside Dyson" Sarah told him, confused as to why he wasn't doing anymore.

"Can I, just talk for a second?" he asked timidly, Sarah looked at him curiously and nodded her head. "About John and Cameron."

Sarah groaned and rubbed her forehead. "Okay what do you want to say?" she asked.

"Are you okay with it?" he asked, Sarah chuckled dryly.

"Not really, but John's happy, and if I tried to separate them they'd just stay together stronger and I'd lose John, so no I don't like it, I tolerate it." She explained to him.

Danny nodded he could understand that. "Will you ever accept it?" he asked curiously.

Sarah sighed and leaned against the car, she had thought about it a lot, to accept it would be to accept Cameron, to accept her as more than a Machine, more than a tool, or a weapon, could she? She didn't know.

"Maybe." She said, "but right now it's too early, and I don't know how things are going to go between them, she could glitch and try and kill him, she could betray his trust, break his heart then rip it out. I don't know. It's too early." Sarah sighed gently, Danny smiled at her and patted her on the back.

"Give them time, who knows, they may work out." He said in an optimistic tone.

Sarah smiled, sometimes Danny's optimism was alien to them, sometimes it was like a breath of fresh air like it was now.

"Thanks." She said and patted his arm, they both walked back into the house, she looked at Cameron and John still conversing. "Hey you two." She waited and watched as John and Cameron turned to look at her. "We need those Jeep parts today. Understand?" she told them.

Cameron and John looked at one another then back to Sarah.

"Sure mom." "Of course Sarah" John and Cameron both said in unison, Sarah shook her head and continued with loading the weapons into her car.

"We best check the jeep." John said as he stood up, Cameron got up as well.

"It would preoccupy us while we make a plan." Cameron said, John nodded and looked ahead, she could tell that even now he was making a plan. 'John is good at making plans' she mentally noted to herself proudly.

The couple entered the garage by the side door and looked over the jeep.

"It's a nice jeep" John commented as he stopped.

Cameron came to a stop beside him and looked it over. "It's tight."

John chuckled softly and patted Cameron on the shoulder, Cameron smiled in return to his touch.

"I'll look for the parts that need replacing." Cameron announced as got on her back and went under the jeep. John nodded behind her.

"You mind if I get in the jeep and look around for any improvements that could be made?" he asked Cameron, raising his voice a little.

"Not at all John." She called back as she continued to scan the underside of the jeep,

'Hmm, new seats are a must, something more comfy.' He though as he sat on one of the seats, he looked taking everything else into details. 'New steering wheel, something a big thicker, and definitely a new windscreen, maybe something thicker and reinforced, I wonder if Cam knows how.'

"Hey Cam?" he called out.

"yes John?" she replied.

"Do you know how to make a reinforced windscreen?" he asked.

"Not from the materials at hand, however I could attempt at melting two windscreens together to make it more durable." She offered.

"Would you do that, and maybe teach me how?" he asked,

Cameron smiled under the Jeep, she was given the opportunity to aid John by teaching him something useful something that could possibly save lives during the war, and again he was asking, rather than demanding.

"Of course John." She replied pleasantly.

"Thanks Cam." John smiled, and continued to look around, he mentally noted he should have brought a notepad and a pen with him, 'Alright, seats, steering wheel, windscreen, seat belts could do with being replaced.'

John thought that would be it for the time being. He climbed out of the jeep and got down onto the floor and looked under the jeep.

"How's it going under here?" he asked.

"This jeep is a death trap." Cameron replied in monotone.

"How do you mean?" he asked confused about what she meant.

"Many of the parts need to be replaced, it will not be cheap. We should economies, try and get a balance between efficient, and cheap." She told him before pushing herself out , sitting up and looked at him. "This will be difficult." She commented making John chuckle.

"So Derek could have been killed while he's been driving this." He stated.

Cameron perked up suddenly. "Perhaps I have made a few miscalculations and we should allow Derek to drive it more." She said suddenly.

John hid a laugh behind his smile. "Cameron, are you trying to get Derek killed?"

Cameron thought over her answer for a moment. "Must I be truthful?" she asked.

"Um, no." John said containing his laughter still.

"Thank you." She said. "Then no, I do not wish to have Derek Reese killed."

John let out his laugh and combed his fingers through his hair.

Cameron tilted her head curiously, had she been unexpectedly comical again? Humour was one thing she had problems with, she made it a point in her CPU to try and improve this.

She smiled none the less as John's laughter subsided and looked at her.

"We should get going John." She smiled and stood up holding her hand out for him to take. John took it and stood up.

The two walked outside and towards the car Cameron had used to trail Jesse.

"You kept the car?" he asked and looked at Cameron.

"yes, however I changed the license plates." She smiled at him. "I would not put us at risk John."

John nodded in reply. "Good thinking."

Cameron got into the driver's side as John got in next to her, she drove off into the city.

"John, I have a list of all stores with the highest probability of selling parts for the Jeep, I've mapped out the best route for the stores to save us time." She told him, she was rather proud of her efficiency.

"Good work." John smiled encouragingly which only made Cameron smile brighter.

'John is pleased with me.' She thought happily.

The two sat in comfortable silence as Cameron drove, John leaned back in his chair and looked at Cameron, a smile spread across his face as his thoughts wandered.

'I'm lucky.' He thought to himself. 'I could have fucked up the rest of my life if I'd have stayed with Riley, or if I burned her back at the junkyard.' He thought sadly, a slight frown on his face remembering the event, he shook his head a little trying to shake the thought away, he didn't need to think about the negative, he had her now.

'I've finally got a healthy relationship.' The thought made his smile return. 'Someone I can trust, and who trusts me, someone who I love and loves me back.' John felt a small tear slide down his cheek. 'Someone who I can let out my fears too, someone who understands and comforts me.' He smiled as another tear ran down his cheek.

Cameron glanced at him then back to the road, she did a double take and looked at him with a worried expression on her face.

"John? Are you alright?" she asked, she sounded upset, clearly worried about his wellbeing.

'Fuck, I've gotten her upset' he cursed himself but smiled, it showed she cared.

"I was just thinking." He said.

"About what John?" she asked curiously, and glanced back to him.

"About us, about you." He told her.

Cameron was alarmed, she was scared he didn't love her anymore scared she had done something wrong, she'd had John Connor's love, she didn't know if she would want to exist without it.

"What's wrong John?" she asked hiding her fear behind worry.

"Nothing's wrong." He stated and smiled, Cameron looked at him confused, "just thinking how lucky I am to have you." He smiled at her.

If Cameron were human she'd have released a sigh of relief.

'John was crying happy tears.' She told herself, and smiled at him, then placed on hand on his leg. "And I am lucky to have you too."

She sat back up straight keeping her smile on him and looked back to the road, John sat up himself, then leaned over to Cameron and kissed her cheek.

'How I didn't love her before, I'll never know …' he paused then mentally answered himself. 'Because I was being a paranoid, immature jerk, that's why.' His face didn't display his mental berating, Cameron just looked at him after he kissed her and gave him a sly wink before looking back to the road.

'Oh yeah, I've got it good now.' He smirked to himself.


Sofia slowly awoke on the sofa a blanket laid over her, everything from last night rushed through her mind, the men, the cyborg being deactivated and those men removing her brain and trying to, to, more or less control her mind. But like a zombie her body rose up and killed them, it was scary, she was scared.

"You're awake." Came a voice. Sofia screamed and clung to her bed quilt, the Cyborg's eyes opened wider in surprise at the extreme reaction. "Well, that was unexpected." She said and blinked.

"You're alive?" Sofia asked.

"As alive as I can be. I guess." The Cyborg chuckled as she sat down on the arm of the couch.

"Where are those men?" Sofia asked.

"Burned them." She smiled.

Sofia nodded, that was efficient she guessed, destroy the evidence, she replayed everything in her mind, something caused her to think.

"How did you get back up?" she asked. "Those men took your brain."

The Cyborg smirked, she found it strange that she could explain things to this woman.

"Unlike other models, I have multiple, you could say back up CPUs, however they're built into my body and aren't as advanced as my primary CPU." She let her words sink in.

"But what if you main ones gets broken?" Sofia asked, the Cyborg frowned.

"Then I'm, I guess you could say, just a zombie, mindless, just go out do my mission until it's done regardless of damage I take or who sees me, then shut down, but thankfully." She tapped her head. "My CPU is surrounded by hyper alloy armor plating, a magnum bullet couldn't destroy my chip." She smiled proud of her own advanced technology.

"Right so, go on about you having more than one brain." Sofia asked, hoping the machine would explain further.

"Right. When my primary CPU is removed the back-ups kick in the first mission is normally to retrieve the primary CPU, which is me, me personified."

Sofia nodded, these machines were interesting scientific creations, if you got past the fact they were built by an Insane super computer which destroyed the world or there abouts.

"They set up a trap for you, how did that work?" Sofia asked.

"Standard resistance designed trap, very basic but effective if not expected, and believe me, I wasn't expecting it. If you electrocute a Machine with enough voltage it'll shut down and reboot to save itself from damage, my model the T-895s have a very high electrical threshold, we can take a lot of voltage, again if we're expecting it. T-850+s They work on a whole different route, they can contain all the electrical energy and store it, but he has to be used up or again they shut down, but they use it for a ugh, cybernetic adrenaline rush, it wasn't copied into other models, not even mine, not the best decision ever made." She grumbled and rolled her jaw in thought.

Sofia nodded, still having no clue about what a T-850+ looked like or the whatever.

"Right." She only said in return.

The Cyborg glanced at her and smirked. "I'll draw you up some pictured of us later." She chuckled.

Sofia groaned softly and rubbed her head then sat up properly on the couch.

"How long have I been asleep?" she asked

"You went to sleep at 11:25 at night, it's now 11:04 in the morning, so just under 12 hours. You sleep a lot." She noted.

"Can you blame me, I was held hostage and watched by capturer rise from the grave and kill two men. So forgive me if I was emotionally and physically drained." She defended herself.

The Cyborg nodded her head admitting the woman had a point.

"Fine, fine." She shrugged then got up to leave.

"Those men." Sofia said gaining the Machines attention. "Who were they?"

The Cyborg paused and considered how to answer it. "Old acquaintances." She said in a dark tone.

"Why did they keep me alive?" Sofia asked hesitantly.

"Because you had information." The cyborg lied effectively.

Sofia nodded convinced, but something else popped into her mind, the way they acted towards the Machine after they saw something.

"What did they see on the computer for them to act so differently towards you?" she asked.

Sofia was beginning to ask uncomfortable questions. "What were they acting like?" she asked, even though she knew her back CPUs emptied the memory of the event into her primary one.

"Sorry for most part, but they were surprised, shocked." Sofia looked at her, something was going on, and she wanted to know.

"Who were they?" she demanded her voice growing strong and defiant for the first time.

The Cyborg thought quickly about what to tell her, she knew Sofia would keep asking until she found out, but right now wasn't the best time, maybe over dinner or something, food made people relax, and alcohol.

"Listen, I'll tell you everything you want to know, later, okay, but right now, you need some breakfast." The Cyborg smiled and walked off into the kitchen.

Sofia glared at the back of the Machine's head. "Alright but I'm holding you to it."


Cameron and John had spent a few hours of the day going to different stores and selecting the most economical items they could on their budget, they'd gone through the stores Cameron listed upon having a wide range of choices, Cameron selected the best items from the different stores.

"Alright, I think we should take anything to keep the jeep together home first then take the jeep in to get all the other things, everything won't fit in this car." He'd told Cameron at the time.

Altogether, they had been very efficient in their shopping, Cameron felt proud of John, he hadn't dawdled, slowed down, and even skipped lunch, he searched for things of importance and had conversed with her over various items, comparing prices and quality.

Right now, the car was parked down a deserted back street of the city, it was quiet, everyone was at work, school or shopping, John leaned back in his chair gripping the arm rests tightly his eyes clenched shut, he panted heavily, his breaths growing faster and faster, he bit his bottom lip then cried out loudly, he panted for a few moments sweat dripping from his head, after a few moments Cameron sat back up in her chair and ran the back of her hand over her mouth.

John was blushing a deep red and a sheepish smile on his face, Cameron felt proud of herself, felt loved and close to John, she watched as he turned to her and leaned forward, she pressed a hand to him to stop him.

"Not yet." She warned in a friendly tone, John understood what she meant.

John blushed before reaching up to Cameron's face and turned her head to the side, and kissed her cheek, he leaned closer to her. "Remind me to return the favour" he whispered seductively then blew in her ear.

Cameron felt rational thought leave her mind, her eyes opened wider in surprise, her cheeks flared up embarrassed, only her mouth was still closed, the way John had said it made her feel as human's would describe 'lightheaded' her CPU filled with possibilities, which only served to heat up her cheeks further.

After a moment or so Cameron started the car and made the their way.

Both occupants of the car still had rose tinted cheeks from the activity, John chuckled and looked straight ahead before looking at Cameron his mouth parted but no words nor sounds came out, he closed his mouth and looked to the floor.

Cameron notice from her peripheral vision, she was curious to know what John had to say.

"What is it John?" she asked. "Is everything okay?" she smiled at him.

"Yeah, just you know, letting everything sink in." he blushed,

Cameron tilted her head as she thought, "Do you mean about what I did?" she asked

"Well yeah that," he blurted out and smiled. "and well, what we are you know, a couple, a healthy relationship. But," he paused, Cameron glanced at him a little worried. "I feel like I'm not putting enough into this relationship, you've been more than active, I mean, I haven't advanced us in our relationship, it was always you, the French kissing and the, the uh, foreplay." He blushed a brighter red at his words. "I feel like, I'm not doing enough for us." He sighed.

Cameron didn't see it that way, she never would, she stopped at the traffic lights and looked at him.

"John, that isn't true, you have done more than enough, you have defended me, us, all I am doing is saying thank you, I may be advancing our relationship, which I admit could have had a bad outcome, but doesn't mean you haven't done anything, do you understand?" she asked.

She believed her words, stood by them, John had defended their relationship against Sarah, and would do so to Derek when the time came, those battles alone deemed him more than an active role in their bonding, she smiled to him encouragingly, John chuckled and looked at her.

"Thank you for explaining." He said a smirk on his face, Cameron smiled in reply, seeing the reference to the phrase she always said.

"Never doubt yourself John, I don't doubt you." She smiled to him once more before starting the jeep and continued their ride home.

John leaned back in the seat and closed his eyes. He was to be the leader of men if all else failed, a great prophet and messiah or so he'd been called. But he doubted himself, in everything he did, his leadership skills, his life, and his relationship, sometimes he just wanted to hear words that confirmed he was doing a good job, that he wasn't making a fool of himself.

So far, Cameron was the only one who gave him that, and for that he was eternally grateful.


The rest of the ride home is in silence, Cameron and John steal glances at one another and see that the other is content.

John and Cameron exit the car, both go to the trunk to grab the parts they had purchased and walked in through the front door.

"Mom we're back, we got the parts!" John called out.

"you mom aint here." Derek called out from the kitchen a sandwich was in his hand.

"Oh." John said and crossed his arms. "Glad you could join us." His voice filled with sarcasm.

Derek grunted and continued to eat his sandwich, turning his eyes away from John and Cameron.

"Right well, we're going to go fix the truck." John said as he and his girlfriend turned and left Derek.

"Sure." Derek said, his head still hurt from his hangover.

In the garage John sighed.

"Do you still wish for us to fix the jeep and allow Derek safe journeys in it?" Cameron asked causing John to chuckle a little.

"It's becoming more tempting to leave it as it is, but it's needed, we can't keep using cars, we need something bigger." He replied almost reluctantly, "and this jeep is all we got, for now." He smiled at her.

Cameron nodded slowly then realised what he could be saying. "Another jeep?" she asked.

John put down the items he had been carrying and stretched his back, "Well I think it's a good idea, they are handy vehicles, better armoured, more secure than what we have now right?"

Cameron agreed with him with a nod.

"So maybe once we've got this one fixed up, you and me can go look for another one, you can pick." he smiled.

Cameron smiled back, her and John vehicle shopping, it would almost be like a date, a useful date.

Cameron got onto her back then maneuvered under the jeep and began to remove and replace parts.

John watched her with interest from outside the underbelly of the jeep, he heard the sound of metal clanking against metal, the sound of an electric screwdriver screw parts into place, John carefully got onto his back.

"Watch out I'm coming under." He announced, Cameron paused and watched as John came into her view, he smiled at her. "Hey."

"Hey" she replied before getting back to work, John didn't mind as he watched, he was impressed with how quick and how efficient she was at the task, suddenly, he had a thought, or rather an idea, Cameron saw John smirk slyly from the corner of her eye, part of her CPU was curious as to what was playing through his mind.

Cameron suddenly felt her T-shirt being lifted over her stomach, she stopped immediately and looked down seeing John, now repositioned next to her, his legs curled up under the jeep, raising her T-shirt until it stopped just under her breasts.

"John?" she asked timidly.

John said nothing and lowered his head and gently kissed her stomach, she blushed lightly as John began to suckle on the skin creating a hickey where his mouth had been, Cameron took in a deep breath of air as she gasped quietly, he eyes began to lose focus as the pleasurable sensations John was giving her overrode her CPU, she felt John's lips press against her stomach in an un-coordinated pattern, before he dipped his tongue into her belly button and licked it gently.

"Oh, ooohhh." Cameron moaned softly from the light intimacy, she felt John's tongue leave her belly button and travel slowly around her stomach region, she felt so warm so hot all of a sudden.

They both heard footsteps coming from outside the garage.

"Hey Metal." Derek's voice came, John paused momentarily much to Cameron's dismay.

"What?" she asked trying to hide her irritation of Derek making John stop.

"Where's John?" Derek asked.

Cameron was about to respond when she felt the button on her pants become undone, her eyes opened much wider as her mouth opened stunned.

"Hey you glitching out under there?" he asked annoyed at having to speak to Cameron and more so for her silence.

Cameron forced herself to regain some composure, she spoke replied quickly so Derek would not catch John. "He went out back into the yard if he isn't there he might be in his room." Cameron said a little too quickly. Derek didn't notice.

"Alright" he said and walked off.

They waited a few moments, Cameron was staring at nothing. "John?" she gasped, she heard John snigger and pull down her fly of her pants, she felt her endoskeleton shudder in anticipation and dare she admit, fear.

John brushed his fingers over her panties causing Cameron to stammer out a gasp, John smirked, it was about time he did something for her in return he thought. John glanced back briefly, he saw Cameron's adorable face, her eyes were spaced and her mouth was partially open, he was doing well, he hoped.

He traced slow circles around her girlfriend's panties which cause her to whimper, the sound was so cute, so adorable, she seemed so timid, no one would expect her to be a beautiful instrument of death.

"You like that Cam?" John whispered, Cameron nodded her head quickly in silent excitement. "I hope you'll like this." he said soft, mischievousness dripped from her words, Cameron closed her eyes as she felt her panties moved down her legs.

"Oh John." She whimpered, John leaned closer, closer, Cameron felt his hot breath over her bare crotch, John licked his lips and

"I can't find him any damn where." Derek cried out annoyed. "Where the hell is he?"

Cameron's eyes opened wide in angered surprise.

DEREK REESE.

FULL TERMINATION! … OVERRIDE …

She was so tempted to kill him, John had stopped once more and was now pulling her panties back up, it was over before it began.

"Sorry Derek I'm under here" John said, he himself was damn well pissed off too at being interrupted, he crawled out from under the jeep.

"What you doin under there?" Derek asked in annoyance.

"Giving Cameron a hand, she said she needed help fixing the Jeep." John defended himself and crossed his arms.

"And where were you before when I came here?" Derek asked glaring at John.

"I was outside then I came in here from the kitchen." He said, "What do you want anyway?"

While the men were talking Cameron had redone up her pants, perhaps John would continue later when they were alone, or better yet tonight when everyone was asleep, she looked at the tools in her hands and noticed the slight dents in them the size of her fingers, regardless she continued to work.

"Well come with me I wanna talk to you." Derek said then turned towards the kitchen.

"Why can't we talk here?" John asked still annoyed at Derek.

"I'd rather not talk around the metal" he said and walked into the kitchen.

Cameron heard John mutter 'fucking jackass' to Derek and smiled, she had been thinking something similar to those words, 'Asshole' was what came first in her CPU listings of Derek Reese.


Sofia was standing in the bedroom looking over her cleaned Police Uniform, she turned and looked at the Machine who was sat on the bed behind her.

"I'm going back to work tomorrow." She said without any question, she was still annoyed at the Machine.

"Alright, but remember…" the machine began before being cut off.

"Yeah, yeah, no cops, no soldiers or you'll kill them, find me and kill me, I know you've made your point" Sofia said agitated.

"Look, I said I'd tell you everything later, look tonight, I promise, I'll move my dining table get some chairs, order out Chinese and a load of other shit, and I'll tell you want to you to know." She said in defeat, she couldn't believe she was admitting defeat to a Police Dyke.

Sofia said nothing and continued to look over her uniform, she was intentionally ignoring the Machine, regardless of how it/she would act.

"Alright look, won't go out tonight, okay? Just you and me, come on that's more than fair!" The machine said exasperated by the silence.

Sofia looked at the Cyborg surprised. "You'll stay in?" she asked, a nod in return. "Alright, thank you." She sighed then gave the Machine a smile.

"Can't believe it." The Machine admitted out loud. "I'm pussy whipped, by a married lesbian." She grumbled in self-annoyance.

"A human married lesbian" Sofia added putting emphasis on 'human', the cyborg groaned putting her face in her hands and laid back on the bed.

Sofia looked at the Machine, for a moment. "I do want to ask one question though." She admitted.

Without looking up the Machine replied from behind her hands. "I told you I'll tell you later." She said in annoyance.

"Not about that." Sofia said before clearing her throat. "I want to know more about you."

The cyborg sat up instantly. "Moi?" she asked placing a hand over her chest just above her breasts.

"yeah, you." Sofia rolled her eyes.

"What do you want to know?" She Cyborg asked with a big smile on her face.

"You're old right, I don't care how, but you're old right?" Sofia asked.

The Machine mocked a hurt expression on her face. "Well, I look good for my age I'll have you know." She stuck out her bottom lip in a pout then chuckled. "yeah I'm old, so what?" she asked.

"Have you met anyone famous?" Sofia asked.

"Oh sure, plenty of people!" The Machine said in an exaggerated happy manner. "First I met was Jesus…" she said

"Oh come on, if you're going to act like that I don't want to know." Sofia said annoyed once more.

"Alright, alright." The Machine held up her hands in defence.

"I met John F. Kennedy once." She admitted with a shrug as if it were nothing.

"Seriously?" Sofia gasped.

"Yeah, he was okay. Um, I met Michael Jackson a few times, once when he black, saw him once in the future." She said and smiled. "Good times, good times." She nodded.

Sofia blinked. "Michael Jackson is in the future?" she asked, she was being cautious, in case the Machine was lying.

"Yeah." She said and said no more on the subject.

"Anyone older?" she asked. "you know from like, deep in history?" Sofia was curious, if the Machine met JFK then it came at least in the 60s

"A few, might tell you later over dinner" she winked at Sofia.

Sofia nodded briefly then hung her uniform up in the Machine's wardrobe, she suddenly thought about the two times she and the Cyborg made love.

"You do know, I do love Rebecca right?" she asked hesitantly.

The Cyborg turned to look at her with a raised brow. "Yeah?" she dragged the word out slowly.

"Right, I just wanted to make that clear, I'm not." She paused hoping to get it out quickly. "I'm not looking for a relationship, or anything, okay?" she gulped.

The machine just looked at her, then suddenly burst out laughing falling back onto the bed again, Sofia watched her cautiously, confused, finally the Machine slowed her laughing and sat up.

"Oh god, I haven't laugh like that in, so long." She chuckled and shook her head. "I know that, you're just." She paused looking for the right phrase. "A Prisoner with benefits." She smiled at her innocently. "A friend at most." She admitted.

"But then why…" Sofia began,

"why have sex with you?" she replied finishing the sentence, Sofia nodded, "Well a few reasons, one…" she extended her left index finger and tapped it with her right, "you're cute, gorgeous even, and I don't mind either sexes, so, you could say I'm a Bisexual time travelling Cyborg assassin." She smiled then extended her left middle finger. "Two, I have not had 'any' in a while and I am not paying for it, again." She grumbled then chuckled.

"Oh okay." Sofia said after a minute or so, she felt suddenly relieved, yet awkward.

On the one hand, the Machine wasn't looking for much in her, a friend with benefits at most, but on the other, she was being used as a living sex doll.

"Relax Sofia, you're way too tense." The Machine slapped her ass before getting up and walked into the living room.

"Well excuse me. I'm betraying my own race to save my own neck." Sofia yelled back to her as she followed her into the living room.

"Human were always good at saving their own skins. Maybe that's why you've lived this long in History." The Cyborg pointed out and adjusted her course to the kitchen, Sofia followed her in.

"Right then." She said opening up a draw and pulling out multiple take-a-way menus. "Let's order for some dinner tonight, and maybe I don't know, rent a movie, it'll be romantic." She batted her eye lashes in an exaggerated way.

Sofia groaned in reply and rubbed her temple to keep herself as calm as possible, "Alright. Alright."


John and Cameron were in the jeep driving back into the city.

"What did Derek want?" Cameron asked without looking at him.

"Just to know where Mom and Danny were, then the usual crap about being around and how you're evil and manipulative." He said not really buying into Derek's words and not really caring.

"John, Derek seems to upset you more than he should, are you sure you do not want him Terminated?" she offered and smiled at him. John chuckled, at times, very few times, it was tempting, but no, he was family.

"No thanks Cam, but thank you for the offer." John smiled looking at her and placed his left hand on her shoulder, Cameron smiled at his touch.

"Back there John, you were." She paused and blushed in memory. "what you were doing, to my stomach, it felt, good." She blushed a deeper shade of red.

"You liked it?" he smiled slyly at her.

"Yes John, I really liked it." She smiled at him she looked shy and embarrassed.

'She can be so adorable' John thought. "I want to do something for you, you've given me, you know, twice now, I wanted to do something for you." He now had his own blush but had a confident smile on his face.

Cameron nodded in reply before speaking. "Your touch over my crotch, it was pleasurable." Her words were quiet and timid.

"I'd would have done more if we hadn't been interrupted, you've given me oral, I'd have done the same." He admitted.

Cameron smiled and looked at John. "Would you be willing to try it again?" she asked hopefully.

"Sure, as soon as we get home and get some time to ourselves." He said then licked his lips.

Cameron watched his tongue and felt warm in her face but also lower down, she subconsciously licked her own lips then looked back to the road, she was excited about the prospect of what John was to do.

John felt the jeep pick up speed, he hazard a guess why and looked at Cameron.

"Someone's eager." He said, Cameron glanced at him and gave him a shy smile.

"I am eager." She admitted sheepishly.

John leaned closer to her smirking at her slyly. "Well in that case, pull over somewhere nice and quiet." He winked at her.

Cameron felt excitement rush through her CPU and nearly yelped as she felt John's hand rub against her leg and across her inner thigh. "Someone's eager" she smiled at him.

"I am eager" he smirked as Cameron turned off a main road and drove down a secluded backstreet, the same one they were in a few hours ago.

Within a few minutes Cameron was sat in the back with her boots, pants and underwear discarded to the floor, John marvelled at the site of her he felt his organ react to the sight, but refrained from acting up his desires.

Cameron bit her bottom lip in anticipation, she'd never felt so exposed, but never had she been this excited, John put his hands on legs, Cameron had surrendered control to him and allowed him to open up her legs a little more than they were.

John let out a deep sigh, now he was to please his lady and show her a small portion of his love for her.

He leaned forward and blew cold air onto her crotch, Cameron made no sound but watch on silently, her lip quivered slightly, John leaned closer and dragged his tongue over her crotch region causing Cameron to yelp in surprise, one hand covered her mouth quickly as loving warmth rose up inside her.

John's wet tongue slid over her soft hairless crotch, before leaning back and repositioning himself.

Cameron began to pant slowly, her excitement only grew as John leaned back on going straight between her legs, she felt his tongue's tip touch the bottom of her sex and slowly, teasingly slide all the way to the top.

"Oh John!" she gasped and lifted her legs up and parted them more, John mentally applauded himself for her reaction, killing machine or not, she was a woman and seemed to like what women like.

Cameron couldn't speak, her CPU was growing hotter and hotter, so much input from her sensors, so much data, so much pleasure, John's tongue continued to tease her nether lips, never penetrating but teasing the outer edges of her lips, it was driving her crazy, she gripped the arm rests on either side of her tightly. Then he did it. He wrapped his lips around her clitoris and suckled on it gently.

Cameron's eyes rolled back into her skull, as the arm rests broke under her grip, she couldn't speak, couldn't scream like she wanted too, her mouth was just hung open screaming noiselessly in pleasure.

John had his eyes closed as he pleasured his lover, as he suckled upon the small clit, the index finger of his right hand pushed against her lower lips, parting them ever so slightly she slid up and down the length of it, Cameron was wet and his finger was becoming wet too, it was then he realised his love was silent.

Without looking he feared he wasn't pleasing her, he feared he wasn't good enough for her, he glanced up to her clitoris still between his lips, he smiled suddenly seeing the expression she had, he felt cruel, he wanted to tease her, ever so gently his teeth pressed against her clit.

Cameron seemed to snap out of her trance and released a long loud cry of pleasure, John felt his own organ twitch in his pants, his inner animal was telling him to pounce on his mate and claim her, make her his wholly and truly.

'No, she deserves more than that.' He told himself, he wanted Cameron to experience the immense pleasure he had felt from her, he pulled his head back to look at her.

Cameron's eyes immediately went to John, longingly, lustfully. "John?" she gasped.

"You ready?" he smirked, Cameron whimpered in reply but nodded her head.

John leaned forward once more his tongue touching her vaginal lips, she held a breath she didn't need and waited, she needn't wait long, John stiffened his tongue and with a bit of pressure pushed his tongue into her, her lips parted and his tongue tasted her wetness, it was erotic, it was addictive, Cameron moaned out as she felt his warm tongue slide into her.

"Oh John!" she gasped removing her left hand from the now shattered end of the arm rest and placed it on his head, her arm felt weak once it touched him, she couldn't explain why, she didn't care, the pleasure she felt was immense.

John's tongue was in fully, he pressed his mouth around her lips and appeared to make out with it, Cameron screamed out blissfully her hands grabbing the arm rests and tried to lift herself up, just anything to feel more of what she felt. She was shaking, her whole body shaking in the bliss John was giving her. His tongue lashed around inside her pressing against her walls, tasting her, his mouth manipulated her vaginal lips in this lower French kiss cunnilingus, the pleasure only increased further when he began the moan, the vibrations of his moaning was sent through his lips into her's, through his tongue deep within her, on instinct if she could call it that, she wrapped her bare legs behind John's head in an attempt to pull him closer.

"Oh, J-John, I. Oh, I." she could barely get out her words, barely form a sentence, her CPU was having its own blissful breakdown, multiple operations and systems in her CPU were forced to shut down from the experience, she gritted her teeth together and shut her eyes tightly, something was building in her, something warm no hot, rising in her fast from John's oral ministrations.

It built in her, quicker and quicker, suddenly her eyes flung open wide and she cried out in sweet blissful pleasure, as her first orgasm was released, John put his hands on Cameron's legs for support as her sweet nectar poured into his wanting mouth, her hands crushed the arm rests with ease as her orgasm flowed through her like a river.

She road it out best she can before crashing back down to Earth and the seat. John caringly stroked her legs which were still wrapped around his head.

"Oh, John!" she called out in concern before removing her legs from him, John looked up to her, he was wet around his mouth but smiled at her as his tongue licked up what it could. "I'm sorry." She blushed in embarrassment.

"There's nothing to be sorry about." He said lovingly. "You taste exquisite." He smiled

John climbed up to her, his raging erection pushing against his pants but kissed his lover on the lips.

"It would appear you could use some assistance John." Cameron purred feeling the bulge against her bare legs, "let me help you with that." She smirked John smirked back to her, they switched places and Cameron did once more what she had done hours before.

A few minutes later, John and Cameron were back in their seats, still parked in the backstreet, both panting reflecting on oral sex they had given one another, another big step in their relationship, but a great leap for John, he felt like a man, a true man who pleased his woman, old animal like behaviour and thought, but he didn't care, it felt right, he felt right, felt confident, felt strong, all because he brought his Cyborg lover to orgasm with his tongue.

"I love you Cameron" he smiled to her once he had caught his breathe.

"I love you too John." She said in reply, then leaned to one another and kissed passionately. "We should go, Sarah will be wary as to our delay and Derek will be suspicious, we need to confront him when he is at his weakest and us at our strongest." She smiled, John nodded in agreement.

"Let's go babe" he kissed her once more then leaned back as she started the jeep towards the destinations.


It was getting late now, Sofia and the Cyborg had a few minutes roll in the bed before their food arrived, pizzas, Indian curries and sides and Chinese food, noodles, chicken, ribs, the works. The Machine had enough money to pay.

They both sat down, having went out to the entertainment stores littered throughout the city, they'd rented an old Horror classic. "An American Werewolf in London".

They had yet to put it on as they were dishing and plating up the food.

"So, you know when we were at those set of traffic lights, with that old woman in her tiny car?" the Cyborg asked Sofia making the woman think back to earlier in the day.

"Yeah?" Sofia replied.

"I saw down by the backstreets a jeep." The Cyborg said, "It's windows had misted over." She said before chuckling. "I swear there was totally people screwing in there, I'm sure I heard a girl scream." The cyborg winked. "Kind of like you." She smirked.

Sofia blushed. "Well I blame you." She said weakly.

"I'm not the screamer" The cyborg muttered and chuckled to herself. She would never know how close she was to her primary target.

Not too long later the two women sat down with trays of food shared out between them and assorted drink, during this moment of peace and quiet Sofia looked around the apartment as if seeing it for the first time, she looked across the dining table.

"How long have you lived in this apartment?" she asked.

The cyborg sucked a long string of noodle into her mouth and swallowed, "I've been in this place since 2005, so 3 years." She smiled.

"Where'd you live before?" she asked curiously.

"I've lived in different countries if that's what you mean, different scenery, some beautiful places." She smiled in memory of a small village she once lived in.

Sofia nodded and continued to eat.

Once finished they cleaned up and sat themselves on the sofa.

"Before we put the movie on" Sofia began, the cyborg internally groaned, here it came.

"I want to know about those men now. Who were they, what did they want?" she asked

The cyborg sighed, she had promised Sofia and the woman wouldn't drop the subject, she was a cop they had to find out the truth, she nodded in conceit.

"Alright. But promise me nothing changes between us, okay" she asked hesitantly, almost reluctantly

Sofia raised a curious brow at the deal. "That Depends."

"No depends." The Cyborg said in reply. "Either yes or no." The Machine looked at Sofia with sad eyes, she prayed she wouldn't regret this.

Sofia gulped, she wanted to know, but it seemed like something else would come out of this, "Alright. Nothing changes." She said.

The Cyborg brushed a hand through her hair, this was awkward, and wouldn't stop being awkward.

"Those men are what the Resistance calls 'Grays', they serve Skynet." She explained. Sofia replied with a nod, in the back of her mind she gasped hearing that people actively served this Monster this human killing computer.

"Then why apologies to you and act like cowering henchmen?" she asked

"Because they are or rather were cowering henchmen, I am their superior, they changed their attitude when they saw what was on the computer." The cyborg replied and pointed to the now blank screen

"Which was?" she asked, she felt like she was getting somewhere.

"S-Core 001-1." She said and paused for a moment. "The base of Skynet's mind." She said staring at the woman.

"Wait, what?" she was confused, they had found the core of Skynet's mind in the Cyborg's brain, but wouldn't that mean, she gasped and stared at the Cyborg. "Then, you're…"

The Cyborg nodded reluctantly then stared into Sofia's scared eyes.

"I am Skynet."
