{~Arkham City~} Chapter 2

                {~feelings revealed~}

As Bruce and I arrive at the workstation in his cave, we work on making stronger bodies for me and the others.

I can't help but wonder since people from my old world keep arriving here from the drone bodies I make, why not make something slightly original?

While it won't be new and all, at least it will be something different from what I usually make.

Now, while I would be happy that Bruce is working with me again, this silence is killing me. It's too quiet. Maybe I should say something, or is that too much?

"*Sleepish smile* Bruce can I-" 

"Cyn I want to-"

We both talk at the same time while can't help but feel giddy and embarrassed at the same time while Bruce does a slight cough.

"You can talk first" he says to me.

I just look at him while there's so much I wish to say. I MIGHT have an obsession with him, but that's not the issue.

The issue here for me is the amount of care I have for him is just impossible to calculate even for a robot, but for someone like me, that is maybe literally the Absolute Solver, maybe an eldritch entity.

I WANT him, I NEED him. He is MINE. Opps have to calm down at least a little~.

Maybe I should just say how I feel about him better now than ever.

"*Embarrassed expression* Bruce, I..have something to tell you..and if I don't, I might not get the chance"

"What is it?" He says genuinely curious.

God, don't be a pussy now, ME, and just TELL HIM I'm getting cold feet now of all times.

"I..I..love you", I say quietly, unable to say it out loud.

"I love you too", he says while I don't think he gets what I mean.

"No..you don't understand it's not.. family love, it's love, love, Bruce. I LIKE you", I say to him while my hand keep working.

"I know", he says as a matter of fact with a small smile on his face while I have a slightly dumbfounded face.

"*Shocked expression* what do you mean 'I know' "

"I've known ever since when I was getting ready for my first date and you obviously cursing and saying such vile words that I didn't know existed" he laughs a little while my cheeks heating up from embarrassment remembering what I did that one time and let my emotions get the better of me with that jealousy.

"If I'm going to be honest I didn't know you liked me at all you didn't say or show much on your face and on that day that one day I could see your emotions on full display" he continues 

"I can't say for sure how I feel about you right now. So many things have been going on, and different events make things difficult, but one thing is for sure I trust you a lot even with the obvious supernatural things going on around you and you killing criminals"

"I've gone over every scenario, while I don't want you to kill criminals, I also don't want to hurt you, so Cyn, promise me this", Bruce says as he turns towards me, taking my hands from the task of making the new bodies as he looks into my eyes.

"Promise me at least you don't kill a criminal as long as they don't attack you first that's..All I ask, Cyn," for the first time I'm speechless.

While he hasn't actually given a proper answer, at least it's not a no, but he wants me to promise him not to kill criminals unless they hurt me first? 

"*Curious expression* than what about world ending threats?" I ask him

"You don't need to worry about holding up the promise when threats like that arrive. All I ask is that you maintain some self-control" As I look into his eyes, all I see is a man wanting peace, even though peace in this kind of city is practically impossible.

I sigh deeply for a moment

"I promise Bruce" I said as he slightly smiled

"Thank you, Cyn", he said as we went back to work. In about 3 hours, we finished V's J's and Uzi's newly upgraded bodies.

Oh? You ask why we haven't done mine? Well, that's because all I need is the blueprint of the new body that Bruce and I were going to make for me to assimilate it and install it into my mind, and eat the materials I need, and after bout 2 hours, my body or the Cyn body should be upgraded.

So after the bodies are done, I put away the Tessa body and went back to the drone-like body of Cyn and ate the blueprint while Bruce just watches me with slight fascination while I also eat the materials needed.

"So how does this work?" He asked me, slightly curious with a raised eyebrow, with his arms crossed.

"*Giggle* Well, you see, dear Bruce, I upload the blueprint into my mind/CPU or Brain, process the blueprint, eat the materials needed for the upgrades, and after bout 2 hours, I should be upgraded as well", I say with pride of my abilities I gained.

Yeah, some other things I figured out were even IF I was the absolute Solver or the host of it, I didn't have any ground-breaking abilities, and I have to unlock them. I gained the solver regeneration, but that's it, and quite literally a better brain/CPU.

"*Curious expression* Should we go get them so they can start using their new bodies?" 

"Yeah, we should. I'll go get them, wait here", Bruce says as he leaves the cave to go get the others.

Now that I think about it, N should be pretty much done, and I've always wanted a brother. The more I think about it, the more lonely I feel. It's been years now. Time flies by, right? I wonder what my kids look like now? Will I ever get to see my family again? At least I don't feel a thing when I look at other women in this world.

Besides maybe V and Uzi, that is, but when I think of Bruce, it's the same feeling I get with my wife. I don't want to lose Bruce, no matter what happens in the end. I genuinely don't want him to die.

My thoughts keep on wandering back to my old world, about my old life, and the fact that again I won't be able to watch my kids grow up. It feels like I'm being stabbed in my soul by thousands of knives once again. I can't help but cry silently while looking down, trying to hide my face.

I'm such a joke that even the Joker would agree if he were here right now. I make myself look scary to criminals and Joker, etc., but I'm just somebody who misses their home and just wants to have a nice life here without anything getting in the way.

As I keep crying silently, Bruce is back with J and Uzi, but no V Bruce has not noticed what's going on with me right now, but it seems J and Uzi noticed real quick but just decided to be silent and get their new bodies sorted out first before dealing with me.

(20 minutes later)

"This feels soooo much better, right J?" Uzi says to J while stretching.

While J moves each limb slowly, then faster, then slower again.

"Why yes it is so much better it feels smoother and operates more efficiently" J says with a smile 

"Yep now onto the other thing.." Uzi says as she looks at me briefly.

"All done Bruce?" J ask him

"Yeah come back and let me know if there is any problems with the body and try and get V down here while your at it" Bruce says before noticing the way im not looking at him or anyone else before he gives J a slight gesture asking what's going on.

While J replies with 'me and Uzi will sort it out don't worry'

I feel as J picks me up quite easily and takes me with her and Uzi out of the cave all the way back to our special room and J gently puts me down on a chair.

Uzi makes me look at her while Uzi sees an expressionless Cyn crying Uzi says nothing and hugs me while I wraps my arms around her and hug her back.

J eventually joins the hug session as well and after a bout 30 minutes I managed to calm down at least that's good.

"*Happy face* Heheh thank you Uzi and J"

"No problem we are family after all we have to look after each other" Uzi says while giving me a smile that would make N blush if he was here.

"Next time don't break down in front of Bruce you silly zombie drone" J says while she messes up my hair while I try and swat her hands away while im starting to pout and get slightly angry.

"Annoyed expression* leave my hair alone or I will rearrange your body and processes for fun" I say with a creepy smile that makes J back off not before giggling a tiny bit.

While I try and fix my hair with my hands with a slight annoyed pout while Uzi can help but laugh slightly.

"So..what now?"

"*Smiley face* now we wait"

"Wait for wha-" J was about to say before I cut her off.

"*Giggle* wait for a cat to get way to close and get caught by tow face basically waiting for that to happen"

"And when will this happen?" Uzi ask me while we talk with each other.

"*Laughter* what do you think?tomorrow of course" 

"Actually Cyn theres been something I've been wanting to ask you for a while since I just remembered" Uzi ask with a.. questioning look?

"Curious expression* sure what is it?"

"Where did you get the special parts for N? I know Bruce is rich and all but there's no way he would find any of these materials not unless he was actually looking for it" Uzi says with her arms crossed

Now that is an interesting question and a very easy answer.

"*Giggle* I stole them~" 

"Wait you stole them- wait hold on how did you do it without being seen caught or even raising an alarm?" J says even more curious then Uzi

"*Laughter eye roll* who said I was doing it at all in the first place"

"Then who did-wait no..you didn't.." Uzi says getting the picture now.

"*Confident expression* thats right~ I hired cat woman! And since are last encounter that wasn't to...ideal I made a deal with her and at the same time hired her"

"And what was this deal?"

"I would help her at any time in any sticky situation she's in as long as it's an actual situation to pay her money gold diamonds but she would have to remain silent about us and Bruce and mess with Bruce or Batman from time to time" I say with a smile while Uzi can tell that's not all of it.

"Why are there so little downsides for that cat woman?" J ask 

"It's to make her think I'm easy to talk it also is to make sure not to put to much pressure onto her the reason? Because I need her to get close to Bruce/Batman" I nearly spat out the word close the very thought of Bruce and Salina getting close close is not good for me while I'm not as angry about it.

Uzi and J kinda tensed up slightly when my voice changed slight deeper and more threatening whoops~

"I apologise but I think I'm..very possessive of Bruce heheh~" I say while Uzi gives me a look

"Well yeah we can tell.." Uzi says with her arms on her sides giving me more of that same look

"Well any who tomorrow night Bruce and I will be out for a while and in the meantime I'm pretty sure Barbra gets her spine shot? Or was it after Bruce's night out? I'm..missing some details" i say slightly annoyed

"So..what do you want us to do? I mean I don't have a slight clue on how the Batam Arkham games go besides you 2" J say while pointing at me and Uzi

"Well first while Cyn is out with Bruce you can go out with dick Grayson while he is out as Nightwing while I and V will deal with Jason" Uzi says while thinking more careful on what comes next before drawing a slight blank in her mind similar to Cyn

J looks happy although briefly smiling before noticing are stares and then looks away coughing into her hand while me and Uzi laughs slightly.

"*Happy face* so~ hows it going with mr lover boy~" my grin gets bigger while watching her face/visor glow a dark yellow but she doesn't look that shy that's nice.

"W-well..uh he's nice organised smart.." J looks very embarrassed not going to lie this is fun~ but back on track for now.

I've noticed some other things and I need to test them out before tomorrow arrives otherwise I'm going to have to find out alot harder with Bruce around.

"Yeah she's having a loaded of fun" Uzi says with a small smile.

"*Eye roll* what about you Uzi with V~ and don't think for a second I haven't noticed the looks your giving the still very much in development N~"

Uzi just looks at me surprised for a bit as she turns her head away from me and Mumbles under her breath that can be summarised as "bite me" 

"*Giggle* angsty teen and little gremlin to shy to say what's on her mind~" 

"BITE ME!" uzi says while I watch her storm out of the room seeing the very much dark purple on her face/visor heh~ she's so embarrassed~ cute~

But I do wonder what she was thinking?

(Uzi Pov)

I stormed out of the room in such an idiot! Now they know something happened! That moment was so embarrassing..

(Flash back)

Working on N is amazing so many features that can be added to him so many ideas and..many..uh..b-bite me! God just thinking about the thoughts and thing I may or may not have added is embarrassing..the only..hunt I'll give it's above 18+..

That's when I felt a tap on my shoulder and jumped slightly and see V

"How it going with N? Heheh~ did I..scare you~" V says with slight insanity and more flirtatious then normal.

"N-No you didn't scare me I..I was just surprised and..yes N is almost done with only some slight tweeks and a core then he should be ready" I say moving some unneeded parts to the side while grabbing a screw driver and start tightening some bolts that weren't in properly.

V rest her head on her arms on the table near N and watches me work for a bit before asking a question that I know she would ask eventually.

"And how are you going to make a core? From what I remember earth doesn't have the materials needed for the core and last I checked your Cyn can't make one either so how are you working?" V ask even more curiously.

Stoping from working for a bit looking into V's eyes while sighing slightly hiding some stuff is fine but I'll keep the rest hidden for now until I'm ready.

"I don't know" I answer honestly while V doesn't by it at all.

"What do you mean 'i don't know'?" V ask slightly annoyed.

"I'm being honest I don't know and from what my Cyn told me she doesn't know either she kinda just..woke up? Same with J" saying to V while she looks to be thinking carefully while V stays silent and then she sighs deeply.

"Haaa....fine I believe you since I did kinda 'wake up' here as well after well ..kinda dying" V says as I smile at her in a thank you gesture.

After a bit more time of me working on N I don't notice V leaving the work bench and getting behind me not until I feel her stinger tail wrap around my waist and feeling her breathing against my metal neck.

To close to close to close

God sake my visor must be purple as hell like a mother f#cker.

"U..uh V..V? What are you doing?" I ask hoping to be spared from whatever she has planned.

"You know~~ I haven't eaten in a bit and you smell quite delicious~~" shit nope nope nope I refuse-

"A-ah~" I fell V lightly bite my metal neck causing me to moan slightly while my body shivers slightly in pleasure my visor probably glowing even more purple nowas I feel V's tongue lick the spot on my neck where she bit me while I try and hold back from making and pleasureble noises.

"E-enough!" Unable to take this anymore I push her head away and turn around maybe to quickly cause I tripped onto V while she has a surprised face as we both fall. To the ground with me on-top of V.

After a bit of trying to fix my vision slightly I notice and feel something against my mouth and god have MERCY it's V and I've accidentally kissed her V's eyes are wide with shock and surprise same with mine she is also blushing yellow I try and get off her but I feel her arms wraps around me as she fully kisses my lips fully.

I feel weak my resistance dying the more this continues eventually giving in and joined her.

Holy f#ck~

She is good~ I've never felt like this before..her weird tongue evade my metal mouth as it dances with my own as I close my eyes and continue my normally cold metal body starts to feel warm 

This continued for another 10 minutes until I finally mustered up enough strength to move away from V's lips

"A-haa~...we..need to stop~" fucking hell..the more I look at V the more I want to continue what we were just doing it was hot as hell.

V probably feels the same but we can't be doing this right now after a bit V manges to calm down her raging lust same with myself as we both stand back up.

"N..not a word about this got that!" I say embarrassed and extremely flustered while my visor remains purple as hell while V smiles differently.

"Heh~ sure thing~" V says as I storm out while V's tail wags slightly "heh~ at least for now~ another step closer to what I had before~ and all we need next is N" V whispers to herself as she also leaves the room.

(Flash back end)

At least no one saw what me and V did right? Yeah in sure it will be fine.

Little did I know a certain drone was awake laying down on that same table and saw literally everything while trying not to freak out in embarrassment and at the same time try and not get 'horny' as well from what he was seeing and hearing.
