The AI turned, its eyes turning green.

“We are aware that there was a rogue here. We wish to be sure the rogue has been dealt with, and the Creator is unharmed,”the AI answered.

" hes unharmed and i delt with it." he said and he gave his shoulder a light rub to untense some of his muscles

The AI hummed, then approached Hiro. It rose its hand, a needle appearing out of its index finger, then injected something into Hiro’s shoulder. It accelerated the healing process considerably, making it where Hiro’s wound would heal in half the time.

“We apologize for any surprise we might have caused just now. That is to show our appreciation for protecting the Creator,”the AI said.

Malcolm overheard talking, and peeked out of his room. He watched quietly, wondering what would happen between the AI and Hiro.

hiros eyes flashed green as he made friends with the bot "thanks.." he said and sighed " family protects the ones they love." he paused " even if they love spyin."

The Ai’s eyes flashed green as it linked with Hiro. It hummed again, intrigued by his words. It then turned at the last comment.

“Greetings, Malcolm-Lifeform.”

Malcolm paused at Hiro’s words, then smirked when the boy revealed him. He shook his head with an amused snort. He then came out of his room fully, leaning against the wall.

“Greetings,”he said to the AI.

hiro went back to cuddling bax and relaxing. he figured hed get up in a few to cook something for the old man

Bax cooed contentedly. It was enjoying the cuddles a lot.

The AI nodded at Malcolm’s greeting, then went back to scanning. After a few more minutes of checking around, the Ai left, satisfied that all was well.

Malcolm watched quietly, then noticed Hiro. A small smile appeared on his face.

hiro sighed " how bout bird for supper?" he asked bax

Bax hummed,”Where would they be?”

“There’s several nests on the roof. Fucking birds seem to like the spot,”Malcolm commented.

Bax hummed again, intrigued.

"come on bax, you too dad, i'll need your expert help." he said and chuckled a bit

“This will be fascinating,”Bax commented, perching on Hiro’s unharmed shoulder.

Malcolm rose an eyebrow, shaking his head in mild amusement as he straightened from the wall.

“Expert help?”he asked, wondering what Hiro was referring to.

" you've got a damn good range with a gun."

Malcolm grunnted, then shrugged.

“I have a mechanical eye that does most of the aiming for me. That, and hands that have somehow remained steady through the years.”

" wow. Good luck maybe?,"

Malcolm snickered.

“In other words, I have very good fucking aim,”he replied.

" yes and since my shooting arm is decommissioned at the moment I need you,"

Malcolm hummed, then motioned for Hiro to follow him. He led the kid up to the back room of the store and into a connecting room with a staircase to the roof. He went up, opening the door, and shifted so Hiro could see the several nests scattered about, with birds resting in them.

“Pick one,”Malcolm said quietly, gesturing at the birds.

Hiro nodded to the right " just laid, eggs got a bit more protein then the bird itself "

Malcolm glanced over, nodding at the sight.

“Eggs and a bird? Or just eggs? I could care either way.”

"lets go with both, if we have leftovers thats fine

“Alright.”

Malcolm pulled out a pistol, aimed at a bird to the side, and shot it. The other birds scattered in a mess of squawking chaos, but the one was dead.

Malcolm casually walked over, grabbing the bird, then looked at the nest. There seemed to be several eggs, which was nice. He motioned for Hiro to grab however many he wanted to.

Hiro nodded, pulling out a flashlight to see if the eggs were usable

Most of the eggs were good, which meant plenty for the both of them. That was something Malcolm appreciated.

Malcolm waited until Hiro was finished collecting the eggs, then headed back inside.

hiro went straight to readying the bird and the ingredients he needed. soon the kitchen was smelling like an old chines place, the smell of well cooked foods filled the entire house

Malcolm decided not to relax like he had earlier, this way he didn’t risk another nightmarish dream. Though, it didn’t bother him much since he got to watch the fascinating show of Hiro cooking. It was truly neat, and the smell was wonderful.
