Hiro calmed almost immediately, " William your fine. " He said and jumped down. " You forget I use my emotional so I'm quite aware of your changes by now."

Malcolm sighed irritably, wandering aimlessly. He still hadn’t found Hiro. He cursed under his breath, turning to head back home. He then remembered something.

Malcolm grinned, tapping his eye and linking to the nanobots within Hiro. He saw a familiar street, William, and a girl he didn’t know. With a snort, Malcolm disconnected from the link and passed through an alley, heading for the area with the children.

William walked out, staring curiously at Ruthie. He then looked at Hiro. He smiled and laughed a little. "Guess I'm caught… sorry about the fighting earlier. I'll try to be better to Malcolm, I promise!" He then looked back at the lady. "Oh, and hello there. I'm William."

Ruthie just stood there, quite confused as another person came over. At least they stopped the situation from escalating. “Uhhh, hello,” she responded, as she stared back. “The name’s Ruthie.”

William's tail flicked, and he grinned. "Ruthie, cool. I'm William. What's your ability?"

Malcolm closed on the spot with the three, pulling out a pistol in case he needed to shoot someone. He rounded a street corner, and ducked into an alley, watching the three from a distance.

Hiro growled and accidentally landed an attack on Malcolm " sorry sir! " He said our of habit an rushed to help him. ( Not quite ungrounded yet)

Malcolm groaned and sat up, his limbs aching and an instant headache forming. He took Hiro’s help and stood, then straightened a few strands of his hair.

“Figures I’d forget that I never sneak. I’m absolutely shit at it,”he snorted, nodding at Hiro in thanks.

He reached down and snatched his pistol, stuffing it into a pocket. He then walked out into the open, glancing William with an uninterested glare before scrutinizing the girl cautiously.

" you still haven't giving me a reason to not cut you throat where you stand. Now, what is it you want,"

Ruthie stammered as she thought of a way to respond. Why did she come over here in the first place? “I-I have no idea what I’m doing here, I can leave if you want?,” she finally responded, panicking.

Hiro looked to Malcolm. It was more or less his desision because Hiro was heading back home.

“Why are you out here? Scavenging, exploring?”Malcolm asked Ruthie.

He wondered if he might recruit her as a scavenger. He could always use help there, considering that he was a bit frail to do it himself, the AI only occasionally visited, and his robots were a bit small to carry many supplies. But, he wouldn’t risk it if Ruthie wasn’t to his liking.

Hiro took William into his arms, protectively glaring. He cared about kit deeply and if the girl made one move to him, well.. there would be crimson on the ground

(Sorry for taking so long! I’m just busy with homework so it might take a while to respond.)

“Hmm… I guess I do quite a bit of scavenging,” she replied, after thinking it over. “But why do you wanna know old man?“

Malcolm ignored her question, instead continuing with his own.

“Your name and powers?”

Malcolm didn’t expect Ruthie to react well to his rudeness, but he didn’t care. He could shoot her just as quickly as any other stranger. Though he still pondered if he could recruit her.

Hiro looked tired, but something blue flashed. His eyes and his spinal cord had flashed like when he linked with an ai. “ what the hell? “ he mumbled while confusion and sudden reactment flooded his body. ( his connected ai was killed by the other ai >:3)

(Oof, apparently they didn’t appreciate the link)

Malcolm glanced at Hiro in confusion, recognizing that flash. He glanced back the way he had come, wondering why the AI would visit when he wasn’t home. They always knew when he was home, so why now?

William jerked out of Hiro's arms. Almost instantly, he glared at Malcolm. "What did you–" He held his tongue. "Hiro, are you okay?"

" fine. Just.. odd. " He mumbled looking to Malcolm " do they kill each other?" He said worried. " That bot did something they didn't like."

Malcolm turned back to Hiro and considered his words for a moment. He sighed, grimacing.

“The AI don’t typically attack each other, but if one is considered defective and refuses to shut off, they kill them. I don’t know how they gauge effectiveness, but your link might be the reason,”Malcolm sighed.

He looked down the street again, hoping the AI wouldn’t try to find them. He didn’t see a reason for it, but the AI were unpredictable, even to him, their creator.

Hiro sighed, feeling his connection break finally. The feelings he’d suddenly produced faded just after. “ that was a god awful feeling.” He thought about what could have made the robot default and try to test his theory later. The ai’s had their own way, he knew this, but if he had to intervein then he would. Being self centered is one thing but killing a robot out of coldness just ticked him off.
