“Sorry Jim..’ve had a bad day all round. I had more injuries from Engineerin’ than I’ve had on this whole mission all in one day and an Ensign decided that today would be a great day ta try and tell me how ta doctor him up..” Leonard shrugs “..but I shouldn’t have yelled at ya fer it.” 

“Well, I can tell that he wants ta be a part of everythin’ that’s goin’ on round here and I don’t think he’s lyin’ ta us at all Jim so I would trust him if I where ya but that’s just me.”

He playfully lunges at Jim and shakes his head at the same time “’m not a crazy old cat lady Jim..”m the one who keeps all yer asses well and in one piece.”

[madeandborntofeel]

“Sorry about the engineering issue. I’ll try to crack down on their safety things.” he said seriously, not wanting more and more of his crew to be injured because of simple safety regulations that aren’t followed.

Jim laughed, smiling at Leonard and waggled his eyebrows knowingly. “You’re a softie, admit it. You want him to be okay” Jim teased, sticking his tongue out as he danced out of reach again and snickered.

“If ya want there’s a cot in my office that ya can use not that yer not welcome in the medbay but there’s nothin’ that I can actually do fer ya so I kinda need ta free up the bed and that just sounded like I was throwing ya out didn’t it.” 

Leonard points to his office door and says “At the moment it not locked cause ‘m still in the bay so just walk through the door, ya won’t need a code or anythin’”

[madeandborntofeel]

Dorian chuckled lightly and offered Leonard a smile. He truly shared traits of John under all that Southern Charm. “I understand. As an android, being in a medical bed for humans is both illogical and a waste of important resources as moving me whilst unconscious may not be easy at times.” he said and his vocals cracked, making him let out a rasping groan.

“Thank you. Sorry I can’t keep talking about this.” he said and smiled to everyone before moving to the office to collapse on the cot, out instantly.

“So what do you think, Bones?” Jim asked almost nervously, looking to his office and back to him.

[charlottexchuckxcharles-deactiv]

Leonard helps him up out of the bed and puts an arm around his waist as he helps him across the bay to his office. “This is what I have ta put up with on this ship..humans hurtin’ themselves and androids malfuctionin’. I swear if I knew I woulda stayed on Earth.” He mumbles as Dorian falls over on the thankfully close cot and then shakes his head as he walks out the door 

He looks at Jim and cocks an eyebrow “What the hell, Jim? ‘m not an Engineer so I don’t know what the fuck ta think but if yer talkin’ bout him bein’ a threat ta the crew then I would say no.”

[madeandborntofeel]

Jim flinched at Leonard’s snapping anger before running a hand through his hair. “I meant what do you think about him being part of the crew. Adapting to the new world of his and all that.” Jim huffed and squinted at his friend but smiled.

“You’re already attached to him. You pick up us strays like a crazy cat lady picks up cats.” Jim said lightly, playfully as he danced out of reach.

“I heard that Jim Kirk.” Leonard says as he turns around and comes toward the captain with a hypo. Jim doges out of the way and the doctor smirks “That right there would be the reason why I want everyone ta think ‘m a big bad and very impressively loud doctor ya infant.”

“Ya don’t owe me nothin’ kid. We’re helpin’ ya cause that’s what we can do not anythin’ that we have ta do acordin’ ta the grand old men of Star Fleet and now that yer here ya better get used ta people helpin’ ya and not wantin’ anythin’ in return.” 

[madeandborntofeel]

Dorian wanted to hug all of them, the urge stamped down, remembering John’s ‘not everyone is a huggy person, Dee. Just relax and show gratitude in another way unless you know the people well enough’ speech rolling through.

“Still, I owe you my life, whether you agree or not is besides the point.” Dorian huffed but smiled - albeit shakily - and relaxed slowly. “Thank you.” Dorian shivered, eyes glitching and he grit his teeth, knowing he had been well charged before.

[charlottexchuckxcharles-deactiv]

“Looks like ya might need either some more power or yer havin’ problems digestin’ ours but I think that woulda showed up before now.” Leonard starts making shooing gestures and cuts Scotty out from the crowd “I think ya might need ta check on somethin.”

@madeandborntofeel

[madeandborntofeel]

Dorian shuddered, gripping his head and stumbled back to lean on a counter top, groaning low, his voice glitching as he did and he sighed. “J-just need to rest. Let my body cool.” he breathed, shaking slightly as he felt everything fluctuate.

Something was wrong, he knew that, with his power being drained swiftly, his systems fluttering like he was moments from shutdown, he knew he needed to rest, to adjust.

[gunslinger-kennex]

Dorian was getting his revenge, grinning as he loaded the tiny plastic gun and snuck up on John sleeping. The man had been stuck with Dorian for the next few nights. A moment passed before he shot, the marshmellow flying through the air to smack John in the ass and the DRN hid from sight. He however watched the reaction from his partner with childish glee.

The sudden firing of pain sensors in his body jolted the man out of his sleep with a loud yelp of pain. He didn’t know what was going on, only that he was suddenly under attack from some unknown source. He twisted over as quick as he could, looking for the source of the assault.

John searched the room around him for the only one who could have attacked him. But without seeing his partner, he knew there was some other kind of treachery at work. “Damn it, Dorian!” Rolling over, he put his feet down on the ground, thankful he’d slept with the synthetic limb on. 

He was going to kill his partner, and it didn’t matter who knew about it. "Come here, Dorian!” He considered pulling out his service weapon, but opted instead to not. It’d be more satisfying to use his hands to pummel the android

[gunslinger-kennex]

John stopped when he was grabbed. He’d forgotten what it felt like to have a male’s presence behind him that wasn’t trying to hurt him. Though the threats were considerably less serious than the last time he’d had a boyfriend. He made no moves to get away, enjoying the sensation of lips on the back of his neck. 

He calmed down and rested his hands on the arms around him. With a sigh, he leaned back against Dorian’s chest, breathing in slowly to still the thump of his heart from the exertions earlier. “I didn’t forget. It was pretty cool.” John turned around finally, putting his arms beneath the android’s to force them up to his shoulders. “I’d like to see it again, if it comes up in one of our cases.” The man smirked, amused by what his partner could do. He leaned forward to press their lips together gently, his eyes closing while he did.

Dorian smiled, feeling the other’s pulse and breath slow as he held him in his arms, relaxing into John’s back happily. At the comment about the car he laughed softly. “Whenever it is needed I always will.” he mused.

His arms were moved easily by John’s subtle commands, he smiled at his human partner. At the sight of John’s eyes closing, his face lit up in a second, taking a snapshot of the moment before he closed his own and kissed back contently, gently cradling the back of John’s head with one hand.

John remained blissfully unaware of the recorded image of him with his eyes closed. Somehow it made the moment more magical. At least, that’s what he’d grown up believing. With their lips together, he could forget what was happening for a few minutes. Including the marshmallow attack on him. It was cute. But this was better.

He settled in more at the hand on the back of his head. It was an encouraging gesture. And a sign for John to continue. Which he did. He notice the texture of Dorian’s lips being soft, but not like a human’s, nor was there an innate musk from his skin, which was also soft where their noses and cheeks touched. John’s lips parted slightly. He wanted to test the taste of Dorian’s lips, before going any further with their kissing.

[madeandborntofeel]

Dorian melted into the action, not through personal experience, but he has done study on human relationships, having been invested in John almost since being woken.

He felt John part his lips and he let it happen, biting back a moan at the feeling of the tongue lapping at his lips. He wasn’t a bitter taste, rather having a mildly sweet taste. He tasted human and yet something uniquely Dorian that it separated him from the idea of machine.

[madeandborntofeel]

[madeandborntofeel]

Dorian understood this at one glance and smiled, stroking John’s hand lightly as he relaxed instantly. “I will do anything it takes to prove to you that I am not going to betray you.” Dorian said calmly and gently squeezed John’s hand.

When the waitress returned, Dorian looked up, eyes bright and sweet, toes of his shoes still pressed against John’s under the table. The woman flushed at the sight of the two, setting their glasses down and their complementary bread.

Had he been that transparent? Of course he had been. Dorian knew about his struggles with the dating scene, and had been watching him since they’d been paired up. It would have been written across everything that he was afraid to be betrayed again. But he trusted Dorian more than he possibly trusted anyone else in his life. “I know, Dee. Old habits die hard…”

John glanced up at the waitress bringing things to their table and noticed the blush. He chuckled under his breath, a smirk growing across his lips. He couldn’t help but be amused by the thought of someone being embarrassed by seeing affection between two people. Nevermind that he didn’t enjoy seeing it either. 

The detective sat back from his boy-bot and took up the menu to order. It would have just gotten her out of the way for the longest amount of time. He ordered a more traditional he-man meal of steak, potatoes and steamed vegetables. He ordered a glass of bourbon for himself, deciding not go to with the wine.

[gunslinger-kennex]

Dorian smiled at the comment from John and hummed his agreement, looking through the menu quickly he thought about Rudy and ordered the chicken ceasaer salad and water for himself.

When she was gone, Dorian turned his full attention back to John. “I understand the human issue with habitual behaviour dominating future experiences and changing their vies on the world around them, John. But I promise you, I will sooner dismantle myself than cause you any harm.” he said firmly.

John listened intently, filing the information away for later use. He glanced up when the charging station was mentioned. So a bot was there. Why would someone steal a bot, unless it was a high-dollar, limited edition one. Did they still make those? The things rich people could buy…

Standing up, John went next over to the charger. It wasn’t like the one he used with his leg, nor was it like the ones they used for the department’s androids. He doubted there was a way to see what kind of android was charged there. But there could be fingerprints on it from the victim, other suspects they could look into. “Great. Get his fingerprints, and facial rec, etc. Then let’s see what security cameras we can find. Let’s see who’s been hanging around where they shouldn’t be.”

Dorian crouched by the station and worked away. Ten minutes and he stood, a confused look on his features. “This is for a simple android, one you could find in any security wholesaler. It’s a bot built to protect.” he said and looked to John, a little confused as he once again looked over the perfectly untrashed room.

“So why didn’t it protect it’s owner?” he asked and looked to the dead body.

The detective’s expression went from normal curiosity to real confusion. “A protection bot that didn’t protect? We need to get the bot to check for hacking.” This was the case that just kept on giving. “Maybe it did protect its owner, but it didn’t work out.” John shrugged, wondering now what they might find at the end of this rabbit hole. “Does it have a log of when it was last used?” He acknowledged a younger officer approaching him with a tablet while saying that they found some footage of someone leaving the place.

[madeandborntofeel]

“Yes, it does. Give me a second.” Dorian crouched by the charger, diving into the coding and hummed in thought, frowning as he looked over the logs. “It appears to have been used last ten minutes before the victim was killed. The detachment was sudden.” he said and stood, squinting at the charger like it grew four heads and recited poetry in Latin to him.

“This just doesn’t make sense.” he muttered and tried to go over every detail as he stood.

“Well, we can have mister computer know it all here give ya a good lookin’ at when he does his other stuff fer ya or we can let him give ya some diagnostics now so he won’t have ta do them before he starts to work on yer systems. That’s entirely up ta ya.” Leonard shrugs

“All the other thin’s the two of ya brains are talkin’ bout is not somethin’ that I can talk bout cause I got no experience in that type of stuff, can’t even fix the computers in my own sickbay now somewhere in the universe that has got ta be a sad situation ta be in.”

“The only thin’ that I can give ya fer the diagrams is a place ta download them ta without much trouble and even that’s pushin’ it a bit” He walks out of the room and comes back with a normal empty PADD, handing it over to Dorian “That outta do the trick fer anythin’ ya need ta do.”

[madeandborntofeel]

Dorian looked to the PADD, eyes blinking slowly before taking the offering, face lighting up before he frowned slightly, head aching. “Thank you.” Dorian said slowly, eyes dragged back to Scotty who pulled out his smaller one, flicking along the page before standing closer to Dorian.

“Aye, lad. Ye got a lot ‘a work. But ye ain’t gonna struggle much. Got a lot ‘a readin’.” he chirped and smiled to Dorian, linking to send the information quick to the PADD and Dorian blinked again, startled.

“I… But why are you helping so much?” he asked, looking through the faces around him, gripping the PADD a little closer to him.

[charlottexchuckxcharles-deactiv]

“Yer welcome.” He chuckles and shakes his head “’m not helpin’ and if ya tell anybody different ‘ll have ta deny it like I have never denied anythin’ before cause this bunch of stupids have ta be scared ta come in here not thinkin’ that ‘m gonna help ‘em out with every little problem they got.” Leonard cocks an eyebrow at Dorian “Ya do know that ya look slightly ridiculous holdin’ that PADD like that. It wouldn’t be very good fer any amount of protection…just ask Jim he knows from experience.” He sighs “Cause we can and we want ta.” 

[madeandborntofeel]

“Oh yes, intimidation. Big scary doctor can’t look soft.” Dorian heard Jim huff and Scotty nudged him sharply but Jim shivered at the mention of the useless protection PADD’s gave you.

But Dorian felt his tells pulling at his features, looking to the sky like it might prevent the tears and he closed his eyes, taking a shuddering breath, tightening the hold on the PADD more out of a familiar sense of security.

“Thank you.” and yup, that was the sound of his voice wavering as he shakily let his breath out. “I mean it. I... I know I showed up in an unorthadox way, but I will pay back everything. I owe you all my life.” Dorian said and looked around the room.

He laughs and then cocks an eyebrow at him “Are ya givin’ me permission ta give ya talks every time ya go down ta Engineerin’ ta get fixed up cause I will do it ta make ya feel more at home.” Leonard get a thoughtful look on his face and then shakes his head “I know what it’s like ta be far from home, if ya know what I mean.”

Leonard scowls at the words coming from Dorian “Well, if it makes ya feel any better ‘ll go ta bat fer ya if anyone tries anythin’ hinkey with ya .” He shakes his head “Sometimes humans are afraid of what they don’t understand or of the thin’s they create that then go and learn on their own and droids that feel are one of those thin’s. They just kept thinkin’ of all the thin’s that could go wrong and none of the thin’s that were goin’ right.”

“The one in red is Scotty..he’s the one yer gonna be goin’ ta fer most thin’s cause damn it ‘m not a mechanic.” Leonard points at the man in gold and shakes his head “That one is Jim and he is way ta chipper and bright all the time..he’s also the one that gets in the most trouble.” He frowns and points at the man in blue “And that is Spock that will generally rain on anyones parade, he’s half Vulcan and he’s trained not ta let his emotions control him.”

“One more thin’ that I shoulda told ya earlier is that there are aliens in Starfleet and there are a lot of full blooded and half blooded aliens on this ship ta.” He smirks

[madeandborntofeel]

“Chat all you like. It’s a nice thing to be treated as a human and not a machine for once. Like an equal.” Dorian said and offered a small smile. As the other explained the human reaction behind the shut down of his line, and promising to stand up for him, he smiled, chuckling to himself.

So much like John, and yet, so different. he thoughts and nodded. “Thank you, Leonard. I appreciate it.” he spoke aloud before focusing again on the others.

Dorian listened to the introductions before the explanation had him filing the half-Vulcan away for research when he’s hooked up to the data banks. “Aliens. Cool.” he said before the words registered and he chuckled again. “Almost sounds like an MX-43.” he mused and Jim came closer.

“Thanks for the introduction, Bones. So, what’s your name?” Jim asked, smiling to Dorian who blinked in shock. “You have a name, right? I mean, you are a twenty forty’s model DRN unit, right? You have names and personalities, like we do?” Jim asked and Dorian slowly tilted his head. “That was rude, wasn’t it?” Jim asked nervously.

“Not at all. I just didn’t…” Dorian trailed off and shook his head, holding out his hand to the Captain with a brilliant smile of his own. “Dorian. A pleasure to meet you, Jim. Scotty. Spock.” Dorian nodded to the other two as he shook hands with Jim and Scotty stepped closer.

“Aye, never seen one o’ ye in such condition.” Scotty said and looked Dorian over.m The DRN blinked as his arm was guided up and turned over, poked at slightly which made him a little nervous, but Scotty seemed excited so he remained quiet.

[charlottexchuckxcharles-deactiv]

“I don’t chat Dorian..I got people a screamin’ fit when they get hurt ta often and that’s what yer gonna get ta if ya mess round and do stupid stuff and have ta get repaired.” Leonard rolls his eyes and looks at Jim “If he asks ya ta do anythin’ that involves makin’ trouble then ya come ta me or go ta Spock and don’t go encouragin’ him.”

“Yes, Jim that was put in the most rude way possible and ya know better or at least I hope ya do cause if ya use somethin’ that rude ta introduce yerself out here the man or..thin’ on the other end of it might not be as forgivin’ as Dorian here. I know it’s hard ta think that someone could actually get mad at ya but they can and they will. Do ya wanna start a war just because ya where rude Jim?”

Leonard makes a huffing noise and frowns at Scotty when he looks up “Scotty, ya think that ya could be any more rude than what yer doin’? He is after all a person even if he is made of metal and a whole hell of a lot of circurity.” He shakes his head and walks toward his office door “Okay, every one who wants ta ask questions of Dorian come into my office with him and be nice or ‘ll throw ya out and take him ta my quarters.” Leonard cocks an eyebrow “If yer not here ta ask questions then get the hell outta my medbay.”

He reaches up and punches the security code into the door of his office and stands to the side “Here ya go Dorian, a nice place ta go where people aren’t starin’ at ya and ya can answer the Captain’s questions and the green blooded hobgoblins ta.” Leonard smiles at the DRN and waits for him to get off the biobed

[madeandborntofeel]

Dorian flushed slightly under his dark skin, blinking at everyone, but it was Leonard who stunned him into silence. He’d let hims stay in his quarters? That was the first thing, and secondly, the way he defended him made him smile back, hopping off the bed and walked into the office, eyes flashing around to take in every detail in a second.

It was nice. He heard three sets of footsteps follow and he forced himself to relax. Enclosed space with three faces he’s never seen before made him a little antsy. He’d have freaked out if there wasn’t Leonard, feeling completely at ease with a familiar face here.

Even if it wasn’t John.

“Okay. So, what is it you think would best help Dorian here adapt? Dorian, do you have any preferences for your stay?” Jim asked, trying to be diplomatic and find the best courses, going to his Chief Engineer and the man in question.

“Well, beyond databanks to catch up on history and protocol for working on this ship, registration if that’s still needed and needed upgrades to allow me to work with any system with ease. Otherwise I’ll be going in blind.” Dorian said and Scotty nodded.

“Aye, the systems be the hardest, laddy. Ta git ya workin’ right an’ not on tha fritz is delicate. Ya’d ‘ave ta go through either one huge project which aye cannae guarantee yer sanity. Or several smaller steps allowin’ ye ta adapt as ye go.” Scotty said thoughtfully. “First ye chargin’ way an’ ye data bank storage. Software fer protectin’ ye too. Think of it as vaccinations.” Scotty said and hummed.

“Sounds reasonable. I can give you detailed diagrams of my systems if that helps you figure out the process.” Dorian’s face lit up and he flinched, gripping his head tightly in pain. “Sorry, something must have happened during the transition.” he mumbled, shaking his head of the pain and focused with a light smile.

[starlightsulu]

“You got it Doc.” Sulu nods at the request, ignoring the blood that stains gold, and the metallic smell that lingers. It’s something he can do – easy, in a sense. Orders are simple, but execution? That would be what tested him. He keeps ahead of the older man, ensures coast is clear and scans for hostiles. 

First thing’s first, disarming and acquiring weapons. At least, until they find their own. They don’t have long. Alarm likely triggered, hostile forces, Sulu knows, will be coming their way. 

Twelve seconds. 

It takes them  twelve seconds to come face to face with their first set of opponents, and Sulu’s thankful that reaction’s quick – enough for them to make the first strike. Sulu’s fierce, quick, uses skills unspoken of to duck, slip from distance and avoid fire. He manages to take a phaser, uses body as a shield.before one shot, two, then three. 

Four down. Three taking cover. 

He moves, takes his own cover by a wall. “Doc! How you holding up?!”

[madeandborntofeel]

Leonard had been surprised yet not overly so by the sudden enemies, kicking one with his complaining metallic leg, snatching a phaser and diving for cover. The action left him heaving for breath, head falling back against stone.

He barely heard Sulu and groaned, tearing up his shirt and tied it roughly around the wound, hissing before collecting enough air to speak.

“Had better days, kid!” he called, fumbling with the phaser, peeking out and shot at one of the creatures, missing by a touch and he hissed.

[madeandborntofeel]

Dorian’s smile faltered slightly, his facade wavering dangerously and he looked down to hide it from the pen. He looked into his mug and licked his lips.

“I-” he hesitated, flicking a look up at John and chewed his lip a moment. “I never properly got to thank you. F-for bringing me back like that.” Dorian said, hands shaking minutely.

“It still nags me… That place… It haunts me whenever I go to charge.” his voice was low, careful of everyone around him, but now that he’s started, he’s unsure if he could stop. “John, it was agony. Being torn apart like that, to kill Vaughn like that. To watch you almost die…” Dorian choked, one shaky hand coming up to cover his mouth.

“I can hardly charge soundly.” he whispered, shaking his head. “Rudy can only do so much, and with MX’s in there for repairs almost constantly, my nightmares are becoming an issue. If one of them hears me-” Dorian silenced himself, taking a shaky breath and forced a smile on his face.

“I’ll figure it out. My last parts are in so I’ll be in tip top shape.” he chirped, forcing his tone light and warm. He had to be strong, he had to be the happy one that nothing gets down.

His gaze dropped and John nodded. So that’s what this was about. The Wall. Hell, John was just glad Dorian wasn’t still talking to his bed. The bed would gladly tell the DRN how John wasn’t sleeping much. And when he was, it wasn’t restful.

How many nights had he awakened in a cold sweat, convinced he hadn’t brought Dorian back in time? How many nights had he shot up, looking around wildly, expecting to find one of those dog-bot things, ready to tear out his throat?

And how many nights had he awakened with Dorian’s name on his lips, and an overwhelming feeling of loss? Never having told the DRN just how much he meant to him?

John patted his shoulder awkwardly and sighed. “I’m glad. I’m glad he’s helping you. I did what I could. Just glad you made it back.”

“Of course I made it back, you’re not getting rid of me that easily.” Dorian laughed, bright and warm, even if it was a touch off key.

John always knew what to say to calm his nerves. He pushed the other’s shoulder gently, relaxing marginally as he watched John. He was alive and well, that’s all that mattered. His charging problem will sort itself out.

Right?

“Look, we should... Get back to work, y’know? Waste not want not.” and by that he meant the meager charge he held, knowing that he’d barely make it through the car ride to Rudy’s place.

God knows he needs a good sleep, Rudy having sworn to secrecy about his terrified screams, constantly shrieking John’s name till his voice box turned to static. Writhing around and shaking like he had in his desperate attempt to flee Her mauling.

And god forbid he see a hound slightly too big. He will likely shoot it on sight, tiny ones he could cope with.

Dorian felt eyes and focused on John, tilting his head like a curious cat, shoving the memories down in place of focusing on the now. One swift scan told him once again the same thing, that John was alive and well. That he was here in one piece.

“Something on your mind, John?” he asked curiously, fighting back the urge to both hide from the world and take John with him.

He pretended like he was coping well, but he was pretty sure John knew he wasn’t so great, and he knew Rudy knew too.

John shook his head, still watching Dorian. There were days when the ‘bot was more human than the people around them. It was disconcerting. And really fucking weird. Especially when John had to remind himself that D wasn’t human.

“Nah, just.. thought I heard something. You okay?” He was careful how he asked, made sure his voice was pitched not to carry. Paul had been watching a little more closely of late, and John knew it was because he’d been making snide comments about Two Sugars.

And even seeing the MX downstairs (do not get him started on that), John had the feeling that there was something more going on with Paul and his 'bot.

Dorian’s smile faltered slightly, his facade wavering dangerously and he looked down to hide it from the pen. He looked into his mug and licked his lips.

“I-” he hesitated, flicking a look up at John and chewed his lip a moment. “I never properly got to thank you. F-for bringing me back like that.” Dorian said, hands shaking minutely.

“It still nags me... That place... It haunts me whenever I go to charge.” his voice was low, careful of everyone around him, but now that he’s started, he’s unsure if he could stop. “John, it was agony. Being torn apart like that, to kill Vaughn like that. To watch you almost die...” Dorian choked, one shaky hand coming up to cover his mouth.

“I can hardly charge soundly.” he whispered, shaking his head. “Rudy can only do so much, and with MX’s in there for repairs almost constantly, my nightmares are becoming an issue. If one of them hears me-” Dorian silenced himself, taking a shaky breath and forced a smile on his face.

“I’ll figure it out. My last parts are in so I’ll be in tip top shape.” he chirped, forcing his tone light and warm. He had to be strong, he had to be the happy one that nothing gets down.
