AN: Thank you to everybody who reviewed. :) Guess I'm finishing this kinky sucker.
Razer couldn't sleep after that. Of course he couldn't sleep after that. His mind raced and he went from "What in the blazes am I doing?" to "Hal is going to kill me if he finds out" to "Why does she want this so bad?" all within the span of a nano-second. He resolved to approach this strictly as an engineering problem. How do you program a machine to mimic a purely organic function?
Sex, like anything he thought, is a dialogue. Transceiving, receiving and interpreting information. They would need to find some way to program Aya's form to respond in a certain way to certain stimuli. But while that was a problem that should have a solution, as all technological problems have, Razer had a way bigger problem. How does he control his own body's response?
After Aya left his quarters that night, the first thing he did was take an ice cold shower. So cold his normal paleur now sported shades of blue. But he could feel it rising again. Just the words "Aya" and "intercourse" in the same line of thought were enough to make him feel weak in the knees. That is what he dreaded the most about this whole thing. He could see himself working on this and taking a break every 5 minutes to go lock himself in the bathroom with a box of tissues. And what would Aya think about him then? She was probably going to change her mind halfway. Who would want to be a sexual individual in a universe populated by perverts such as he?
Another thing that weighed heavily on his mind was the way in which Aya would chose to use her new body parts, and who she would use them with. As soon as she got what she wanted, she would be free to pursue a sexual relationship with other people, and he was going to be responsible for that. He was the one that ultimately would push her away. And that was the key to controlling himself.
Whenever he felt arousal, he would think about Aya satisfying her curiosity for intimacy with other people, and the pain and sadness he felt at that thought would be enough to cool him off and help him focus on the task at hand.
No, there was no sleep for Razer that night. So he sat in a foetal position on his bed, scared out of his mind and staring intently at his window waiting for daybreak. When it finally came, he got up and took another cold shower for precaution. When he got out of the shower Aya was there, sitting on the bed.
"I have secured a laboratory for our necessities", she announced.
"Oh, greeeeat" he said, feigning enthusiasm.
They both flew there and the lab was in a pretty isolated part of Oa, that had less Green lanterns flying around then usual. Aya also took control of the security and observation systems, so the lab essentially was taken off the grid. Nobody would bother them, Green Lantern or otherwise. The lab was equipped with scanners, projecters and computers with enough memory to run the most complicated of simulations.
"Alright", Razer said as Aya was powering up the equipment. A projection of her form appeared in front of him, along with detailed holographic diagrams of her neural pathways and the circuit systems that controlled her form.
"I'll be working with these holograms and then it's your job to put yourself together"
"That seems to be the most efficient way of working"
"Right... Do you know what kind of reproductive system you want?"
"Since I have selected a humanoid form, the most viable option would be the human reproductive mechanism. Also, the penetrative act seems to be the most widespread form of intercourse for humanoid life forms"
"Yeah, it's all a' rage in the galaxy", Razer said with irony, and thought bitterly about all the different species Aya was probably anticipating to "bond" with.
"Isn't that your species' method?" Aya asked innocently.
"This isn't about me, it's about you" Razer quickly countered before he could feel himself start blushing.
"Right, so the humans call the main female sexual organ a 'vagina'. It's a fibromuscular tract, placed between the female's legs. It's used for intercourse and childbirth, but I think we can agree, yours won't need to do everything that a human vagina can do"
"Affirmative. Not right now, in any eventuality"
"Moving on. Also involved in the sexual act for humans is this thing called a vulva. It refers to the outer sexual female sexual organs. The labia, which protect the opening to the vaginal canal, and... the clitoris"
"What is the function of the clitoris?"
Razer blinked once or twice and then turned around announcing.
"Ok, I quit"
"We just commenced our work!"
"I can't do this! I can't talk to you about clitorises and... and stuff! And you are downright evil for asking me to" he said pointing his finger in an accusing fashion at Aya's nose.
"Why am I evil?"
"You know what the clitoris does, you know what everything does, you've probably researched this to hell and back. Otherwise, you wouldn't be interested in these 'alterations' in the first place. You only want to hear me explain them to you because you love to watch me squirm"
"You are incorrect, Razer. I want you to explain them to me because 1. I trust you and 2. you actually have been involved with somebody, sexually, and you know more then I could ever read in a database. Not just what these alterations are supposed to do, but how they make you feel"
Razer relented and gave the exit door one last look full of longing then came back to the work station with all the different diagrams floating over it and sat down on the chair there.
"The clitoris, he started neutrally, is the main erogenous zone for the human female individual. It's a small button-shaped portion of skin, located under the labia minora. The tip or glans of the clitoris alone has more than 8,000 sensory nerve endings which make it highly sensitive"
"How do you operate the clitoris?" Aya asked like she was asking the answer to a math equation.
Razer bit down on his lower lip, hard, and squeezed his eyes shut. He got up abruptly and scanned the room.
"We have a bathroom in this place?" he asked Aya.
"The lavatory facilities are down that hall, to the right"
"Right, I'll be right back"
On his way to the bathroom, Razer grabbed a box of tissues.
15 minutes and half a tissue box later...
A knock on the door.
"Razer, are you injured?"
"I'm fine!" a rather panicked voice was heard from the other side of the door. There was the sound of a toilet flushing. And the door quickly opened and Razer slammed it behind him.
"I'm just fine... for now" he grumbled heading back to the main room.
"Razer?"
"What now?"
"I promise I won't interrupt you again" Aya said apologetically.
"That... would be for the best"
"I would really dislike it if this damages our friendship"
"Well... you've made your decision and you accepted the odds when I presented them to you. Whatever happens now, we'll both have to deal with it"
For the rest of the day, Razer and Aya worked on making the proper modifications to the android form to suit its new abilities. They only communicated when Razer needed help with the programming language, which was pretty complicated. Hundreds of lines of code needed to be written. But at the end of the day, Aya had a basic blueprint of her new body.
"Based on these specifications, my new form will be 90,4% identical to that of a humanoid female. That's a 23,2% increase" Aya estimated.
"23,2% is where the magic happens"
The second day dawned on them, and the tasks were signifcantly harder than the day before. Aya could shape her form at will, but there was more to being sexual than simply looking the part.
"Usually in organic bodies, hormones do most of the legwork when it comes to sex" Razer, explained.
"Think of it as an information superhighway between the brain and the sexual organs. Unfortunately you don't have hormones, but we can program command subroutines. These will control everything both before, during and after the act itself"
"These subroutines will replace hormones?"
"Within a set of parameters that we also need to map-out"
"What kind of parameters?"
"What kind of people do you want to be attracted to? How long do you want it to last? What movements will you make? How will you react to your partner's movements? Stuff like that..."
"Sounds so... mechanical"
"Aya, I know you don't want to hear this, but for the purpose of this work I need you to think like a computer. You want to fall in love and experience the chaos of romantic attachment and all that, fine. But you have to always be aware, that you're not like other humanoids. You could really hurt somebody or somebody could really hurt you. Your programming needs to be able to control everything, from how much pressure you exert on your sexual partner to how we can mimic moisture"
"Moisture?"
"Humanoid sex is messy, they don't call it "exchanging bodily fluids" for nothing. Most humanoid males would have intercourse with anything as long as it's warm and moist. The warm part we have, the moisture... I'm still working on"
Razer slumped in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest, thinking. There was just nothing wet about Aya, ironically enough. The android approached the work station and scanned over the information displayed on the importance of lubrication in the sexual act.
"According to our intel, a liquid based lubricant is required to minimize the friction between the epidermis and inner muscles. Friction would not be a problem in the case of a hard-light construct"
"Minimize it, but not eliminate it Trust me, some friction is more than welcomed"
"I can alter the density of my form to replicate the texture of muscle"
"It's not good enough, then we're back to square one. Too much friction"
"But maybe..."
"Aya, trust me, nobody is going to want to stick their penis inside a hard light construct!"
That line was delivered in a much harsher tone than Razer wanted. But the tone and the malintent reflected his frustration at his own inability, not his opinion of Aya. Regardless, the android almost flinched at the sound of his agresive words. She looked almost hurt but then her expression changed. Now she looked pissed off, Razer asserted.
"I'm sorry about that... I just..."
She came over to his chair and plopped herself on his lap.
"This is strictly for demonstration purposes" she said before grabbing his head and smashing her lips against his.
