REALLY???

HELLO, BRAND NEW FRIEND. I LOVE YOU.

HERE'S A POTENTIALLY TYPO-RIDDLED SNEAK PEEK OF THE NEXT CHAPTER FOR YOU:

Bane was still cleaning his hands when he returned to find John sleeping again.

His skin was curiously cool when he touched his cheek. His hands were ice cold. He made a fire and tucked John under his quilts and blankets, but didn’t seem to warm him any. He shook him, but the android didn’t wake up, still breathing heavy and slow, trapped in a deep sleep.

He didn’t feel like waiting for John to wake like he had the first time, and wondered if his rest setting also came with a wake setting. If John’s operating systems were truly, fully broken now, he wasn’t sure how much anger he could take out on the corpses his men were removing from the other levels.

Bane growled with irritation when John continued to sleep. He turned and noticed at once that his tablet was on. He tapped the idle screen, intrigued by what he saw.

The model of a knee’s anatomy looked normal at first glance. Bane almost dissolved the hologram, but by panning out to see the whole body, he realized at once what it was.

John’s twelve-inch replica spun slowly, blinking every now and then from the tablet’s low battery. Touching a part of the body stopped its rotation and brought that area to life in a series of multicolored little specks and lines, glowing and darting here and there throughout his wiring and artificial organs.

He magnified and examined everything little detail that his large fingers could touch. The little heart was pale blue. It was a simple triangular, curved case. If a person didn’t pay much attention, it would look like any other heart, a human heart, but, focusing on a larger image of John’s chest without the bones, the smooth case was covered in wires and housed the android’s battery.

Bane stood there as the minutes ticked by, marveling over this function and that, his mind trying to fully grasp these new complexities. Surely other androids weren’t built like this. And all this time, John’s outer features had been almost too much for Bane, yet the true miracle, the true…magnitude, perhaps, of all that John was lay hidden beneath his skin.

Created as one of the most coveted and expensive sexbots on the private market and reprogrammed by Lucius Fox, John is a top-notch android living under the radar as a human.

In a world where Talia al Ghul rules with an iron fist and her order for Bane is to purge Gotham of its android population, John's main objective is just to stay alive.

When Bane gets his hands on him after a battle with the last of the resistance officers, he condemns John to the Games, to fight other androids to the death which, to Bane's pleasant surprise, John excels. Amused by this, he gives John two options: Become Bane's toy, or his mercenaries'.

John doesn't fare well with the mercenaries, so Bane it is.

"A second one: When repairing android!John, why did Fox leave John more sensitive to pain than before. Was it just a side affect of his upgrades? Was it because Fox/ Wayne wanted him to be as close to human as possible?" — tamat9

Definitely an unintended side effect. Fox heightened John's senses and made him more touch sensitive, not realizing that John was already programmed to be super sensitive as a sexbot. Fox extended his sensory wiring to encompass his entire body, not just the sex bits and erroneous zones, but failed to reprograms John's mind's interpretation of certain areas. So getting stabbed, obviously terrible touch. Bane accidentally grazing his nipple, super awesome touch. Getting his ass beat with the rod, super terrible and super awesome touch because of John's original interpretation of contact in those areas.

"Because you are taking questions, I have one about Rectifier ;). I’m always puzzled about how all this sexbot “charging" mechanics works. You have mentioned there was a chemistry behind it… but there was also a hint in the fic that he could recharge by sex with fellow android Mickey? Could the two sexbots be self sufficient, if they excaped? Thanks, dear." — tamat9

Okay, recharging happens on a percentage scale, based on degrees of contact and positive social interactions and biology. Sexbots like Mickey and John process and burn human sex fluids (I specify human, sense the sexbots have their own synthetic fluids) like other machines burn coal or oil, which makes up for the bulk of their power. And to that, the minor upticks in percentages that come from sex being enjoyable and reenforcing bonds, like the bond that John had with Daggett, and then also basic positive touch and gaining social interactions, makes for one well-charged android.

This isn't to say that negative touch doesn't also work, the percentages are just lower. So like, if Mickey were to have sex with a human he was attracted to and was actually good in bed (like the upgrade tech intern XD) that would be like a 65% recharge. Continuing to simply be near that person would give him an 2-5% of self-generated fuel (that tingling up the spine reaction) that would go into his power reserves. Making out, heavy petting, sex with another android would generate about 8-12%. Having frequent contact and developing a bond with that human would make those percentages greater as his body would become even more receptive to that person. Now, sex with Daggett or Stryver, for example, would only gain him roughly 30-40%, and since there's hardly any positive bond or touch, etc., there would be no extra power for his reserves.

Because the androids' fluid is artificial, their bodies can't process or burn it. So for John and Mickey to have sex, it would only be akin to those lesser charges from human social contact. So whether Mickey and John are having sex marathons or just cuddling in bed, it would only generate maybe 20% tops by the end of the day, with no reserved power. 

Keep in mind, prior to Fox changing and enhancing John's battery, he and Mickey ran through about 80% of their power a day, walking, talking, breathing, blinking, processing data, regulating body temperature, and on and on, with human sex and reserved power to recharged them. So, sadly,  John and Mickey being self-sufficient wouldn't work at all.

His grip was tight, his heart was sore and in the aching of twilight. He saw what he could've lost. Though his memory will fade with the coming of dawn, for now at least in this quiet moment, they are one.  -Us against the World.
