Week 12 – UDC 7 – The senses…

See

It was different, seeing this way as he navigated his way to a wall and stared at the thermographic images of people in what he suspected was a hot tub from the color output. For a moment, he allowed himself to forget the reasons for this on this night and simply watched life proceed.

Five minutes and several dozen rounds later, the set-up of an innocent officer was achieved, and no one would ever suspect anyone other than Robocop. After all… the rule was to destroy all prototypes, including that of the helmet the officer wore.

Hear

Lisa was still thinking about her encounter with Gadget when Sargent Parks dropped a stack of papers on her desk. "Oh. I was wondering why my case load wasn't very much today..."

He chuckled. "These ended up in my office."

"Hmmm… she knows, Sarge." As Lisa opened up the first file, she glanced up at him, to find him frowning. "Gadget. She knows about Murphy. She was at Nancy's and there were pictures."

Parks nodded. "Oh. And…?"

"And we had a long talk. She didn't tell them, but it was close thing." Lisa frowned down at the open case file. "I'm not sure I would have had the same restraint."

Touch

It wasn't enough just to look at him in that uniform, she decided as she reached up and snatched the hat off his head with a knowing smile. "I just love a man in uniform."

Ten seconds later, gloves removed, she was in his strong arms, breathing in his scent and enjoying the feel of him wrapped around her. They were in public, among his peers, but just for a moment it didn't matter. For just this moment… there was only them.

Then he released her and plucked his hat back off of her head.

Sense

The tension was so thick he could almost see it tangibly in the air as he watched the still form propped up against the doorframe. The Chairman didn't know how long Diana could hold back the wave of the termination cycle, or even if she could stop it, and as the minutes passed, the silence in the office was almost too much to take.

And then she reappeared, winked at him in acknowledgement, and vanished again. He wasn't certain how she'd managed it, but she'd saved the day.

Later, he'd find out from Robocop that it wasn't just Diana, but also the tech back at Metro South, too. He was gratefull to them both.

Smell

The smell hit her as soon as she opened the car door, and Lisa nearly shut it again out of reflex. She glanced to the passenger seat, currently filled by her metalized partner, and watched in wonder as he got out without hesitation. It amazed her sometimes, the things he did. "Can't smell that, huh?" She got out reluctantly, shut the door.

His response was simple and to the point: "It does not bother me. It is just a smell."

Until right then, she wasn't certain he could smell at all.
