Aftermath (Connor RK800 Imagine)
Summary: The battle is over, you won. You defeated the monster after so long of fighting. The gang decides to celebrate with you.
A/N: I'm sorry I haven't written ANYTHING in ages but hey I'm slowly coming back. I still have a lot of issues to deal with basically but I'm better than I was before.
~*~*~
Looking back at it all, you wouldn't believe that you survived all through that pain. There has been so many close attempts at ending it all but, you surrounded yourself with people who loved you and cared for you. You began to let go of all the toxic negative people that kept holding you back, it was hard and it hurt so much.
But you couldn't bare to continue poisoning yourself with the empty promises. They were like the thorns on a beautiful rose that you'd continuously pick only to be hurt over and over, but you loved the way it looked that's why you continued to get hurt.
Once you began to avoid the thorn roses you looked else where. The sunflowers, tall and bright they guided you to where you needed to be. They lead you to where the sun shines bright. And you've started to get healthier and better. You are improving.
You had help of course. Hank Anderson, he was there when you needed help at work. He saw you struggling and decided to talk and convince you to get the help you need. He was there when you needed someone to be. And to get the advice you wanted to hear even if it hurt. He's willing to fight for you, help you and defend you. And most importantly he's happy where you are now.
Kara, your best friend. Oh how much you fucked your relationship up with her. She saw the toxic people in the first place but you were too blind to see that. And with not seeing her and pushing her away made you forget who she was to you, it was like you didn't even know her. Then you made a mistake which lead to a argument to end your friendship causing you to fall deeper into the darkness. But you found hope, you both apologise for the silly misunderstanding and now you're stronger than ever with her.
North, even though she came near the end but she did the powerful thing and helped you through the most difficult thing. She gave you advice on how to get what you want and to stay calm, and she's always there when you need her. But without her you wouldn't be as happy as you are, she put your bad guy away. She's strong and helps you out and gives you her own advice. You miss her since you lost contact with her but you know she'll always be there when you need her.
Simon. He was there at the beginning just silently, too scared to tell you the truth. Once he did he finally became brave with the influence of North and helped her to put the bad guy away. Since he left it was hard but you got over it and became stronger.
The main person who impacted you was Connor. Sure he wasn't there long enough to help you out but for those two months since you dated him he's helped you gain so much confidence in yourself. You feel safe in his grasp, warm from his touch, and happy with his presence. When you first starting talking properly you felt intimidated and worried it could end up like last time, but fuck over the past week you definitely fell hard for him. How could you not? He was sweet, caring, loveable, handsome, great at his job and had eyes for justice. Once you confessed to what happened he felt bad and wanted to help you, he wanted to be the one to help you and be there for you. But you couldn't let him in so easy, not after them. But day by day you learnt to trust him and finally one night you got hurt he was there to help you. After hours of staying up you both confessed your love for each other. You loved him and wanted to be with him, and god what a fucking great decision you made. After a year of torture and so close to death Connor found you struggling with the thorn roses and guided you towards the sunflowers.
You are starting to bloom and be yourself again. God you're even fucking glowing and it looks beautiful on you, even with your battle scars it shows you won and you're proud. You wouldn't have done it without them and fuck you're lucky to have them.
Connor has especially noticed you're getting so much better, everyday he sees. The way you smile, you speak just everything seems brighter. He loves it, he's so happy you're back.
You close your eyes as you show a small smile on your lips. Laying on the soft couch as the noises of the TV echoes through the house and your ears.
You feel relax and for once safe.
Connor walks out silently as he sees you, his eyes lit up with a warm grin on his face. He watches you silently just absorbing your beauty and light, making him feel warmer.
He remembers the struggles you went through the past year, it was hard but you did it. He remembers the battle you won, the panic attacks you controlled, the harms you stopped doing to yourself. He's proud of you.
Connor turns to face the kitchen. A small smile enters his lips as his eyes locks onto a small box, excitement enters his body.
Suddenly the doorbell rings to your small home. Connor smiles widely as you look up at him confused.
"Who's here at this hour?" You asked with a wide eye, earning Connor to giggle. You stare at the android as he opens the door, in your delight it was your friends. Your eyes widen as did your smile.
North, Kara, Simon, Hank and Markus had come to yours with gifts and smiles. You immediately get up in surprise as you walk over towards the group.
"What's this all about?" You question.
"You." Simply answers North.
"We're proud of you getting better, so we're throwing you a little party." Markus replies as he smiles gracefully at you making you laugh.
"Now where's the alcohol and food at." Hank ask as he moves out of everyone's way and into the kitchen. You roll your eyes as North groans.
Kara gives you a hug as she hands you a small gift. You look up at her confused.
"After everything we've been through, I think you deserve this. It may not be much but I think it'll help you recover yourself, Y/N." She smiles as she enters the kitchen making you look at the gift. You open the wrapping paper to see a photo frame, you smile as tears warm up in your E/C orbs. It's a photo, a photo of everyone.
Connor comes up behind you, snaking his arms around your waist. He snuggles into your neck to see you sniffling.
"Y/N, your emotion levels read happiness and love." You turn to face him as warm tears fall down your face. "Y/N, hey don't cry." He says as he wipes his fingers on your cheek.
"Y/N, are you okay?!" Simon ask as everyone turns to face you in worry.
You look up with a wide smile as you continue to cry. "Guys, fuck. I'm so lucky to have you all. Like, I wouldn't know where I'd be without you all. But I do know that I am glad that you're all here. And I'm finally happy, I found my true friends and lover through my battle. You guys stayed with me the whole time yet I pushed you away but you still were there for me. I'm sorry for being such a bitch, but I'm glad my eyes were open. You guys make me feel loved and wanted, and I have a purpose to be here. Even in the darkest nights there's still light beyond. You know, even if you're androids you're still more real than any humans, and Hank you're still an amazing old man with a heart of pure gold and love. Thank you guys."
Everyone was crying, sniffling and came up to hug you. Connor kisses your cheek as you smile at him with pure love. Kara and North hug you tightly as you giggle. Simon and Markus smile at you feeling warm about your words. Hank tried his hardest not to cry, he bites his lip as he sniffles.
"What's wrong Hank?" Ask Connor. "Are you cry-"
"Shut up Connor!"
You all had a beautiful night, full of cake and laughs. Told silly stories and dreams, played games and sung. It was one of the best nights you had in a long time. Yet you're just happy that you won the battle with the help of your friends and lover. Now you know you'll never be alone again.
