Hiro felt extremely uncomfortable for a few minutes and then it was done. Hiro was unknowingly linked to Malcolm.

Malcolm, seeing the reaction, moved to retrieve the spy nanobots and let them integrate, finishing the upgrade. He couldn’t help a grin.

“ so.. I'm assuming it did well as I feel like I have fucking ants under my skin?”

“It’ll pass when they’re finished evolving. And these little guys are a lot neater than the old design, so you won’t have the buildup issue.”

Malcolm chuckled.

“ thanks.. Uncle?” hiro said questionably. He was unsure of what to call Malcolm now.

“Ah, just call me Malcolm, haven’t had family in decades, a century actually. And I don’t remember you telling me your name, though I’m pretty sure your last name is Shimada.”

Malcolm sighed, not sure how to feel about this boy with his nanobots.

“ it's Hiroshima shimada but dad always called me hiro “ he said, using his powers to play with rocks on the ground

“Malcolm Harkolar is my full name, though, it’s honestly not my birth name. I forsook that name after I gained this,”Malcolm added, tapping his mask as he spoke.

He turned away, pondering why he was all of sudden feeling paternal. He shook his head at that.

Hiro smiled ever so slightly. “ glad to know I'm not alone anymore. I now have kit, and you”

(Why can I not stop laughing?)

Malcolm stared blankly at Hiro. He couldn’t figure out an adequate response to the boy’s words. He had never felt lonely, and had enjoyed watching the destruction of the world. And he had never had children, nor been around children long enough to learn anything. Fuck, what was he going to do? What was he supposed to do, if anything?

He glanced at William with a sour look, but simply sighed. He didn’t like the strange feline whatsoever, but what could he do? Throwing him out would upset Hiro, and he was honestly starting to like the kid. And it meant less trouble for him, even if it also meant two more mouths to feed.

(Possible, rather dark, idea: Later on, for whatever reason, Hiro learns about Malcolm being the cause of the world’s destruction and feels immensely betrayed. Anything can happen afterward. Maybe, maybe not, doesn’t matter to me. That, and maybe it happens differently. Who knows?)

Hiro looked down at kit, he knew he would either a, leave with the cat or b never leave his side.

(Lol. Definitely a fascinating idea. I’ve honestly never explored the idea of Malcolm being anything other than the unsociable villain that he is, so yeah. Grabs a bucket of random snacks. Now to enjoy the chaos)

Malcolm sighed and turned away, thinking for a moment. He noticed one of the AI approaching.

“Malcolm-Lifeform, we shall leave one guard here to watch, but we have no need to linger. Have you any information or materials to share with us before we depart?”the AI said.

“Three houses from here, there’s a house full of dead rogues. Otherwise, no,”Malcolm replied, secretly relieved to be talking about something more familiar to him.

The AI nodded and all but one left. The lone Ai stayed outside, next to the door.

Malcolm sighed again and glanced at Hiro and William. He shook his head, then held it in his hand, completely lost and flustered.

Hiro yawned, starting to become too tired to stay awake at this point.

Malcolm turned, then sighed.

“Come on, I’ll show you to a spare bedroom I have. No use leaving you in a fucking mess like this,”Malcolm said to Hiro.

Hiro nodded, grabbing Williams had and bringing him along with. It was obvious that no one would split the two.

Malcolm rolled his eyes at the pair and headed to the back of the shop. He opened a trapdoor with a ladder and climbed down into what appeared to be a sort of living room.

He moved to three doors on the opposite side of the room from the ladder, going for the one on the right and opening it.

“It’s not massive, but it should do. This center door is storage, mainly junk, so there’s no point in fucking with it if you get the urge. The left door is my bedroom. Have at it, and don’t make too much fucking noise.”

Malcolm headed to the left door and vanished inside.

Hiro nodded, going in.

The spare bedroom was nothing more than an empty room with a rough looking nightstand and a mattress in surprisingly good condition. A lamp was on the nightstand, nanobots lighting up in the uncovered bulb at the sight of movement.

Hiro sighed. His place was a wee bit better but this was safer. He looked to William.
