Gemma x Programmer!Reader
For @deafeningsharkslimeempath
You and F1D0 stroll up to Gemma’s house with a little kick in your step.
Cady immediately runs out the door and jumps into your arms.
“Uncle Y/N!” She laughs as she clings to you. Gemma is right behind her with a little sad smile on her face.
“You brought a robot dog?” Gemma looks at you with a smirk.
“He’s house trained. Fido, puppy mode”
“Puppy mode activated.” The dog states before switching to a lively manner and running around the yard. Cady follows, enjoying time with the metallic dog.
“Puppy mode. Cute” Gemma taps you with her hip.
“I’ve seen cuter,” you flirt back.
“You better not say me” Gemma warns you. “Come on I want to show you something.”
Gemma leads you inside the house and right into the work garage. You pass by Bruce with a smile.
“So what did you want to show me?”
“Say hello to” she activates a few keys on her keyboard. “Megan”
A robot jumps up. Eyes blinking. Blonde hair bouncing. Slight Elizabeth Olsen type face and expression on its face.
“Hello there” a slightly robotic little girl voice answers “I’m Megan”
You’re a little taken back, it's cold, unfeeling eyes staring at you.
"You seem nervous" the robot says, "is everything alright?"
"Yep" you compose yourself. "sorry Megan I'm just not use to human robotics yet."
"That's alright!" the robot smiles, "i hope with time I can be best friends with you as well as your robot dog outside"
Gemma, despite her intial excitement, is a little taken back. How did this robot know about F1D0?
"I saw the dog in your security footage right now. Not exactly the image of a fluffy puppy" Megan giggles.
You were there for everything.
The moment M3GAN was introduced to your niece. You couldn’t help but notice a little growl escape your faithful robot dog.
You were in the lab when M3GAN was trying to look up the idea of death itself.
“Is death bad?” M3GAN asks you.
“I only know what my mom told me” you said a little gruffly. “Death itself isn’t bad if you’ve lived and loved a good life. But to take a life, that’s bad”
“Noted” was the only response from the android. “Will Cady die?”
“Eventually we all do” you sigh “but life is amazing and a lot can be done. It’s not about the amount of time, it’s about what we do with it”
She didn’t respond. She just sat there looking at an image on a nearby desk: Cady and her parents.
You were there the moment the neighbor’s dog attacked Cady and M3GAN. You had to restrain F1D0 from attacking and ripping that dog apart.
You and Gemma comforted Cady through the pain. M3GAN looked around confused and then back to the hole in the fence.
You eventually got Cady off to an uneven sleep. You walked into the kitchen to find Gemma with her face buried in her hands.
“I’m a horrible guardian” she whispers
“No you just have horrible neighbors” you rub her back reassuringly.
“I can’t be my sister. Cady needs her mother”
“Right now what she needs is you to be you and me to be her irresistible uncle”
Gemma laughs, “how I ever put up with you enough to get Bruce made I’ll never understand”
“We balance each other, Gem” you smile. “And I’ll always find a way to make you smile”
And then the dog disappeared. The police were there when you arrived. M3GAN would only stare out at the scene while keeping an eye on her person.
You began to look at M3GAN a little more suspiciously. It was just too coincidental.
But yet all you found yourself spending a good amount of more time with Gemma. Years apart felt like a mere blink of an eye.
You even went out on a few coffee dates with her when she became too focused on the future models of M3GAN.
“I need to work on this equation” she would whine as you pulled her towards the door.
“I’m pretty sure a good cup of Joe can help you solve anything” you smirked at her.
And then came the presentation day to David. He didn’t hesitate to approve the idea of mass producing the android.
“Does it cost less than a Tesla?” He asked. Gemma’s associates gave a nod. all you could do was roll your eyes.
“Something bothering you, master?” F1D0 inquires from your hotel room.
“I have a bad feeling about this” you answer back. “Too many coincidences”
“I will keep an eye on Megan” the dog answers back.
“Do not engage directly or allow wireless access with her” you issue the command.
“Command accepted” the robot answered.
You got back to your task, assembling a small taser gun like pistol. The sparks fly and shoot out as it powers up.
“An EMP pistol?” F1D0 asks, his ears perking in curiosity.
“Just a little back up plan bud. Can you hold on to it for me?” F1D0 opens up a compartment in his chest cavity.
You slide the pistol in and shut it. You could only hope that’s it’s a precaution you wouldn’t have to use.
“Am i a good dog?” F1D0’s red eyes look at you. His tail wags sadly.
“Yes you are.” You answered back.
To Be Continued…
