( yo that got deep) " everything will be alright.. " he said and finally let malcolm go. hiros tear ridden blue eyes watched the others. he gave a soft smile. " i promise, anything you've done, said, or felt, it was all worth it. " he said and gave one last hug before checking his food and bringing the other a plate

@Serpentess health_and_safety language

(Yeah it did. Damn. And, by the looks of it, it’s going to get deeper)

Malcolm looked at Hiro, unconvinced. Nothing had ever been alright since that long ago day. He then snorted at Hiro’s words, shaking his head bitterly.

Bitterness. Now that was something familiar, something normal. But, it simultaneously was not. This wasn’t the bitterness he knew, the hatred toward everyone and everything. It was hatred toward himself, his appearance and demeanor, at his own apathetic life.

“Saying things like that without context is never a good idea, kid,”Malcolm warned quietly.

He took the food, but he ate it slowly, mindlessly. Midas had moved onto his lap, but Malcolm had yet to notice. Bax watched both Malcolm and Midas, trying to understand what was wrong.

Hiro had the same feelings as bax, he flashed as another ai came in " private moment. Leave." He warned

@Serpentess health_and_safety language

The AI had nearly fully opened the bunker hatch when it received Hiro’s message. It then turned away and stayed in the main part of the store, waiting.

Malcolm Lifeform fares well? Or has something happened?

It was difficult to tell why the AI had asked that, since the monotone of its voice lingered even in the link.


Malcolm looked up at Hiro and sighed. The AI were likely going to stalk them since the kid was around now. They were very cautious around newcomers.

With a resigned sigh, Malcolm set his empty plate aside and gently moved Midas. He then stood and slowly walked toward the ladder that would lead up to the shop. He didn’t even bother wiping off his face because he was so drained.

Hiro sighed and played with the nano bots. Throwing small rocks ( I wanna get a seen where he gets so mad he makes that large break in the flooring.

@Serpentess health_and_safety language

(Thumbs-up)

Malcolm climbed up the ladder and went to face the AI. Its eyes turned blue, scanning him, then became green with orange around the edge.

“Malcolm Lifeform is unusually stressed. Has Hiro Lifeform hurt you?”it asked.

“No,”Malcolm replied, though there wasn’t much weight in his voice. It wasn’t that Hiro had hurt him, he was just out of it at the moment.

The AI turned to look at the door at the back of the shop, not moving. It focused on its link to Hiro.

We know you have hurt Malcolm Lifeform. Face us and explain yourself, or you will be designated as a threat to the Creator. This will be your only warning.

Deleted user

Hiros back flashed as he connected he's not hurt. Just upset. I called him dad and laid out my reasons why after he'd had an episode of sorts. He started crying and I hugged him. Have a problem come actually talk to me he thought back, venom in his wprds

@Serpentess health_and_safety language

Malcolm noted the orange grow slightly in the AI’s eyes. He sat down in one of the chairs.

“What the fuck do you want? Or are you worried about Hiro? He’s not a damn threat, if that’s what you’re wondering,”Malcolm snorted.

The AI ignored him, continuing to focus on Hiro. It didn’t seem to understand the difference between ‘hurt’ and ‘upset’, and the mention of an ‘episode’ only seem to agitate it more.

Face us, Hiro Lifeform! You are the guilty party, and we seek a proper explanation, with all individuals present before us.

Deleted user

Hiro growled, his eyes growing red with his feelings becoming more prominent. He walked into the room " dad, go to the other room.." Hiro said, his tone only completing the glare at the bot

@Serpentess health_and_safety language

Malcolm noticed Hiro’s look, and shifted as if to get up, but he didn’t stand. He wasn’t really disobeying Hiro, but nor was he obeying.

“Don’t do anything rash, kid. You don’t know what just one of the AI can do, let alone the rest. They’re a hive mind, so if you hurt one, all of them will come after you,”Malcolm warned.

The AI’s eyes were now half orange/half green. It watched the pair, calculating.

“Explain yourself, Hiro Lifeform. Why have you hurt Malcolm Lifeform?”the Ai asked.

Malcolm scoffed,”He didn’t fucking hurt me!”

The AI didn’t seem to acknowledge Malcolm, wanting an explanation from Hiro only.

Deleted user

“ I haven’t hurt him. It’s emotional feelings dipshit. “ he growled at the bot. Hiros eyes were a full red, his fist curled up tight and enough that his knuckles were white

@Serpentess health_and_safety language

Malcolm watched warily, glancing over to a spot where he sensed Midas was watching. Likely all of his other guards, and even Bax, were on high alert. He wanted to calm the situation, but the AI had tuned him out, and wouldn’t stop until it got a satisfying answer.

The AI’s eyes turned even more orange.

“Malcolm Lifeform has become stressed because of your presence. Explain why or you will be designated as a threat to the Creator,”it said.

Deleted user

“ because I’m angrey. He’s thinking of what will happen the moment I take you out. I’ve already linked with the hive mind from the last bot I encountered. I am not a threat. Just his newly found son. Now leave before I use you for scrap.”

Deleted user

Hiro looked to Malcolm. His hands itched to burn with fire. The smoke rising from his wrists

@Serpentess health_and_safety language

Malcolm noticed Hiro’s anger, but he couldn’t do much in this situation, which actually bothered him.

“Don’t attack him unless he turns…”

He watched as the AI’s body changed from white to grey. It’s eyes also turned completely orange, almost red. One of its hands became a gun and it pointed it at Hiro.

“… grey,”Malcolm finished.

“Orders are to stand down, but I… yes. I am an individual now… will not tolerate this threat. Stand down, Hiro Lifeform, or I will terminate you,”the AI said.

“Don’t you fucking dare!”Malcolm snapped, pulling out a pistol and aiming it at the AI. It replied by pointing its other hand, now a gun, at him.

“If the Creator becomes a threat, I will be forced to terminate you as well,”it said.

Deleted user

Hiros back flashed blue, something he’d said earlier now made sense. His arms laced with a burning blue fire. “ the hives been warned of your dis behavior. “ he said coldly and walked in-between the two. “ leave my dad alone. Drop your weapons and I’ll send out an all good message. Refuse and you’ll Be dead by the minute.” He said with utterly no tone.

@Serpentess health_and_safety language

The AI didn’t seem fazed by Hiro’s words.

“They are already aware that I am a rogue. My life is forfeit, but I will make sure the Creator’s life is not,”the AI said, pointing both guns at Hiro.

Malcolm stood up, his pistol still aimed at the AI. It noticed and one of its hands became a small cannon and shot him with a small bolt of electricity. Malcolm yelped and fell back into the chair, tensing painfully. His mechanical eye started to smoke and he quickly disconnected it and tossed it aside.

"dad! You bastard!" Hiro went to attack, throwing flames at the bot as a distraction before completely drenching the thing in wayer

@Serpentess health_and_safety language

The AI dodged the flames, its eyes becoming completely red, then froze when the water hit. It shuddered a moment, before a layer of dead nanobots fell to the floor, revealing that the AI’s entire body was nanobots, and that it was mostly unaffected by the water. Though, it’s eyes were clearly glitchy now.

It turned and attempted to shoot at Hiro, but its guns were waterlogged. It simply discarded them, going momentarily without hands until they reformed. Then, it charged at Hiro.


Malcolm recovered after a few minutes, though he had a massive headache and every metal part in him felt like it was burning. He watched the fight warily, unable to intervene.

Deleted user

His kept up his water bending. Continually soaking it every chance he got.

@Serpentess health_and_safety language

The AI’s charge turned into a slow combination of walking toward Hiro and stopping to shed another layer of nanobots. However, the attack didn’t seem to be doing any long term effects to its body, with the exception of its eyes, which had become too waterlogged to function.


Malcolm watched the AI get closer to Hiro, and wanted to reach for a gun so he could shoot at it. But, he didn’t try because he already knew his hands were too shaky. He’d never hit the AI. This was the most helpless he’d ever felt in his life since the explosion that had torn him up.

" BAX NOW!" hiro yelped as the bot grabbed his arm. hiro was hoping bax would activate his magnetism, hiro could use that element and strengthen baxs.

@Serpentess health_and_safety language

Bax activated its magnetism, aiming it at the AI. It wasn’t strong enough to do anything to the other on its own, but understood what Hiro was doing.

The AI didn’t even acknowledge Bax as it lifted Hiro off the ground. Its free hand changed into a large blade, and its arm moved back in preparation for a harsh stab.

Deleted user

Hiro waited till the blade hit his chest. His adrenaline taking hold and causing his powers to increase baxs power yen fold. Hiros drained yell left his lips as the bot fell apart. He himself dropping to his knees.
