 “ yes. exactly. ” huffed , with a roll of eyes. only to let out an exhausted groan , as justin continued , to do the exact opposite. “ see. that. that , right there ; is exactly , what i mean. i’m not tellin’ you to actually go divin’ off a cliff. i’m meanin’ to say , that i wan’t you to fuck off. ” why was he still trying to explain this , to someone who practically a robot? better question , why did he care? sighing he just shook his head , dismissing the topic ; before moving on , to the next one. “ well for one , why were they chasin’ you? what were you , a prisoner , or somethin’? ” asked , curiosity , twisting into his words. “ what’d you go and do , to piss off like that? fucks sake , they were shootin’ at you , and everythin’. ” 

Justin hummed as he nodded his head. “Okay...I think I now understand what you mean.” Justin said before tilting his head when the other asked why were they chasing him. “PRIME was not satisfied that I wanted to leave. I had een born blind and had signed up to let them experiment a little bit on me in order to give me eye sight...Not to become a killing machine for them.” Justin said with a shrug of his shoulders.

They made it into the garage in time and Santos pulled the large doors down when they were safe. Santos had managed to maintain his night time adventures and not have any of the authorities on his tail that would lead them here. All they could really take was Santos running a respectable garage. Nothing more, nothing out of the blue. Santos’ eyes locked on Justin when the kid brought up a wall of stone to block the doors, for extra security. “Um…I actually have an internal security system that could have reinforced the doors,” the mechanic said, but shrugged as he took his hood off. “It’s fine. The important thing is you’re safe.” He patted Justin’s back and led him towards the back that went upstairs to the loft. “I’m sure you need to get yourself freshened up and changed?” Santos asked.

Justin felt a little embarrassed when the other said that he had a security system that could have reinforced the doors. “My apologies. I didn’t expect a garage to have such technology. But...I suppose considering it’s you, that was bad thinking on my part.” Justin said with a chuckle as he looked at the other. Justin followed the other up the stairs and heard his question. “I would appreciate that very much. Do you happen to have any clothes I could borrow?” As much as Justin loved the scrubs, they were starting to get on his nerves.

“I got all that when I scanned you,” Santos replied, “I was just trying to be nice by not pointing it all out. I’m sure you’d explain it to me if you wanted to, but not at this moment while we’re trying to flee PRIME.” He was sure the kid was wondering why he was avoiding PRIME himself but right now they needed to get off the street and into Santos’ home. “It’s only my arm,” Santos said, “I don’t…really know how I have it.” Something in the back of his mind always tingled, hinting maybe the powerful organization had something to do with it. The larger male pointed across the street, at his garage. “Right there. Let’s go.”

Justin looked at the other and couldn’t help but be curious. “What all about me did you figure out through the scan?” Justin wasn’t annoyed like a normal person would be. He was actually intruged as to what technology that arm could have. But Justin shook his head. “Tell me more when we’re not in danger, actually,” Justin said as he followed after the other. Justin moved towards the garage, opening the door and holding it open for the other. Once he ran in, Justin shut the door. Just for good measure, Justin waved his arm forward and a wall of rock suddenly formed behind the door from the ground. “I’ll repair the floor before I leave.” Justin promised. “Just figured it’d be safer with some back up...Just in case.”

Santos nodded and he raised his arm to his lips, speaking into it. He used it to hack into the PRIME unit frequency, and fed in false information. “Hooded suspect is on the move. All units and PRIME operatives, head for the south-west quadrant of the city. Proceed with caution. Suspect has disabled multiple officers.” His voice would be cloaked in the frequency so none of them would know it was him speaking into a radio he didn’t have. Santos then pulled the small male under his real arm, holding him tight. He had already put a stealth cloaking function in effect. That way they wouldn’t be on their radars. “Come on…my place isn’t far from here.” Santos walked hastily with the young man under his wing. “You’re like me, aren’t you?” he asked the kid, looking from all sides of the street, making sure they weren’t  exposed or being followed.

Justin frowned as the other spoke into his finger before Justin’s eyes widened and he realized what exactly the other was doing. Shit...How come Justin didn’t think about that? The young man gasped as he found himself being pulled under his wing as the other began walking. “Well...You’re probably more like me. Is it just your arm that is mechanic?” Justin asked the other curiously. “I have mechanic eyes due to me being born blind.” Justin’s eyes glowed a ice blue as he said that. “I also have machinery on the inside of my body, enhancing some of it. I’m likely more android than human at this point. All thanks to PRIME.” Justin explained as he tried to keep up with the other.

Santos had just ran from PRIME officers he had attacked not too long ago. He had seen that they were beating on a few conduits, and it wasn’t called for. At night, Santos was El Campeon, his his vigilante alter ego. Clad in an armoured suit, a hood and a mask that was styled to that of a Lucha Libre mask. With swift movement he attacked the officers, allowing the conduits time to escape. The fight was intense and some of them didn’t make it easy. But Santos was able to get away when he got them all on the ground. He grunted, feeling his accelerated healing factor kick in as he walked the streets. His arm projected a scan of his body, showing where the healing was taking place. Shaking his head, he turned off the projection and removed his mask but kept the hood on. Then out of nowhere some kid bumped into him. He stood his ground but the other jumped back a little, and already Santos’ senses kicked in. This kid wasn’t normal. When the kid apologized, Santos just looked at him, raising metal arm, not afraid to use the scanner projection function. It scanned him in an instant and showed all the necessary information about what the boy was. Santos then put his arm down, looking behind him, then returning to the kid. “There are PRIME officers in that direction. I’m guessing you’re not looking to run into them?”

Justin rarely was able to keep surprised from showing on his face. He was made to be an assassin after all. That was something that PRIME trained out of him for the most part. But when he saw a metal arm lift towards him? Justin couldn’t help but to be a bit surprised, and it showed clear on his face. He could tell that his systems were being scanned, but did not see any need to deflect it since the other didn’t appear interested in hacking into anything. “If avoidable, I would prefer that,” Justin admitted as he looked at the other.

 ( .. mon really didn’t like him , but then again , he hated almost everyone and everything. it was mostly do to the fact , that his sarcasm always ent right over his head. practically anything he said , was taken literally. it drove him crazy , yet here they were again. trying for a conversation. “ for fucks sake. stop takin’ everythin’ i say so literally , please. ” groaned out , rubbing his temples , to will away the headache that always came , when talking to justin. “ how about this. instead of going into a speech about why you shouldn’t jump off of a cliff , just go and do it. you’d be doin’ the biggest fuckin’ favor , i promise. ” huffed , from where he sat across from the other. “ anyways , you never explained to me the whole scene , days ago. why were labcoats , chasin’ you? ” asked with mild curiosity , as he took a sip of his tea. .. )

Justin blinked as the other seemed upset that he had taken the other man’s words at face value. “So...I need to not take what you say literally?” Justin asked with a frown. The android couldn’t remember if things had been this hard or confusing when he was more human than android, but he doubted it was. “I was made to survive much more things. A jump off the a cliff may have me immobile for a bit, but it wouldn’t kill me.” Justin informed the other. “What do you wish to know?”

Cole heard the sound of heavy feet running his way. “This fucking ghost tricked me,” He muttered turning towards the noise. He rubbed the tips of his fingers together, warming himself up to start running or becoming invisible. Anything was better than a confrontation. The boy’s voice wasn’t hostile. It wasn’t until he walked out from behind a tree he could see pieces of metal attached to his skin. 

“I’m not in trouble,” Cole began still on the verge of disappearing in a moments notice. “I’m a little lost, and I don’t know how to get back.” Cole was completely lost. Everything looked exactly the same from the trees to the bushy hills over the horizon. This was Illinois right outside the metro area, there had to be a main road somewhere. If not, he was completely screwed. 

“A ghost?” Justin would have thought that his hearing would have a malfunction, but he was pretty sure he had heart right. “I believe the probability of a ‘ghost’ tricking you are low. If I remember correctly, when I was human there were these things called....’imaginary friends’. could it not be one of those?” Justin asked the other curiously.

Justin supposed he wouldn’t know for sure that ghosts didn’t exist...But from what his calculations and research has shown such things are faux...Things that shows and people use to trick others into watching and/or believing them. “Where did you come from? Perhaps I can help?”

[cole-blamirex]

Another day, another sleepless night because some ghost wanted his help. He wished that they could hear him and understand he wanted them gone. Cole didn’t want to help them, he didn’t care. They were dead let them go to the other side whatever that is to them. But the incessant pleads and wails wore him down. By 4AM he had given up trying to resist. He quickly got dressed to follow the ghost. 

Cole walked aimlessly following a ghost that flickered around, unable to be in a stable state. Cole had to countlessly refind the ghost, quietly hoping they ended up leaving him alone. By 7AM he made his way through a thick woods, out by a pasture of land. The land was flat with bits of hills in the back area, it was close to the rural part of Chicago, the outskirts of land ready to touch the next town. The ghost suddenly disappeared leaving Cole in the middle of nowhere. “Are you fucking kidding me! Come back here! You dragged me all the way out here for what?!” He shouted twisting a turning trying to find the damn ghost.

Justin’s feet was moving before the half-android, conduit even had time to register it. The last time he checked, screaming in the woods so early in the morning wasn’t exactly a good sign. So Justin ran, wanting to help in anyway possible...Only to see a young man looking around aimlessly. 

“Is something wrong?” After a few seconds, Justin stepped out from behind the tree that he was observing the other. The young man had a small frown on his lips as he looked at the other. “You seemed like you were in distress. Did you need help with something?” Justin asked the other.

Event: Blackout

Something was wrong...Justin had noticed that people were acting more antsy than normal, and the lights had went out. Justin was roaming the streets, his eyes glowing unnaturally blue due to the optics giving him night vision. Which was likely the only reason that he saw the creature running at him. 

Justin stealthy moved behind a parked car as the creature neared where he was, and his eyes followed after it...Just what the hell-A loud bang to the side of him startled him, revealing another one of the creatures bursting through the doorway. Justin was just about to flee, when he noticed something. 

The creature was dragging someone. 

“What the-” The creature let out a roar before swinging it’s free arm at him. Justin, being mostly android at this point, brought his hands up to block it...However the creature was much stronger than Justin thought, and he found himself being throw to the side. “Shit!” Justin grunted as he kicked himself up. The creature swung again, but Justin ducked under it and caught the creature with a rough punch to it’s jaw followed by an uppercut...Enough to finally get it to let it’s victim go. 

“Hey, are you okay?” Justin took a moment to ask as the creature stumbled back.

 ( .. mon pulled a face , at the reaction ( more like , lack of ) he was given. he wasn’t sure if the other was playing coy , or if he was being sarcastic. eyes narrowed as he looked the other up and down , lips pursed in a scowl. “ make it up , to me? you’re jokin’ , aren’t you. ” he countered with a roll of his eyes , already growing bored of the other. .. ) 

  ( .. “ oh my fuck , you’re somethin’ else. now i know , you’re just messin’ with me. i’d watch who you start mockin’ , alright. ” he spat out , assuming that the male was poking fun at him. then he gave another look to him , pinning him with a questioning gaze. “ a group …. of lab coats , chasin’ you around the city? well hot damn , ain’t that just somethin’. ” he laughed with disbelief , fully ready to continue his mission of tiring himself out. “ oh yeah , just follow me. i’ll totally , lead you to the safest place i know. don’t you worry , i won’t let the lab coats get you.” sarcasm dripped off of every word , as he threw them over his shoulder. fully expecting the other to just , continue on his own way. .. ) 

“Is that not what people are supposed to do when they’ve upset someone?” Justin asked, his face scrunching up in confusion. “Offer the other a favor in exchange for forgiveness?” Justin would have to do more research if he wanted to be able to fully understand how to act like a normal human. There was a time that would have been easy...Well, minus the blindness. But his desire to see had taken that from him. 

Sarcasm was something that he had not learned quite yet, so when the other offered to take him to the safest place Justin just beamed up at him. And when he turned around, Justin happily started following the other. “Thank you for helping me out. I can’t ev-” His optics narrowed and he suddenly grabbed  the other and pulled him roughly into an alley, just as a bullet whizzed past where the other man had been standing a few seconds ago. “That safe place would be nice right about now.” Justin said as he tried to steel his beating heart and panic, his eyes glowing an unnatural blue in the dark light as he kept his eyes trained in the opening of the alley.

 ( .. insomnia was one of the biggest biitches , out there. mon concluded , as he strolled down the sidewalk. it was already pretty dark out , so he hardly noticed when the few streetlights had gone out. not thinking twice on it , he continued to aimlessly walk. no set destination in mind , just somewhere a good distance away , that when walking back , he’d be mentally and physically ready to knock the fuck out. .. ) 

  ( .. multitasking was one of his many attributes. walking and changing his juul pod , easiest thing in the world. but apparently he still wasn’t able to walk , without being mowed over by someone. said someone colliding with him so hard , mon was knocked onto his ass. just saving his little addiction , in the action. “ ‘course you’re sorry , ‘cause that just fixes everythin’ don’t it.” huffed in annoyance as he moved to stand and brush himself off. “ why don’t you …. watch where the fuck , you’re runnin’ yeah. ” he bit out , head tilting in slight curiosity at the male. “what’re you all spooked about? running from an ex , or what? ” snickered openly , as he waited expectantly for an answer. .. ) 

The android blinked as he heard the rather aggravated tone that the other was using with him. He had thought that apologizing meant that everything was swept under the rug...That’s what his data had said. Apparently he was wrong though. Justin ran a hand through his hair sheepishly. “I’m sorry...Is there someway I can make it up to you?” The android asked, not liking the displeasure the other apparently held for him. 

And then the other asked why he was spooked about and running from an X. “Why would I be running from an X? How could I run from an alphabet?” The android asked, finding himself getting more and more confused. “Believe it or not there is a group of scientists on my tail and I’m not exactly in the mood to be poked around some more so...If you could forgive me and perhaps point me to a safe place to hide out for a bit, that would be great.” 

[theprinceofassassins]

This...This was definitely not what Justin was expecting when he escaped the PRIME facility. A ‘mysterious’ power failure allowed Justin the perfect chance to escape, aided by the scientist that he was about 80 percent sure was the reason for said failure. Justin knew they would be on his tail though, and knew that he needed to keep moving. So Justin ran blindly through the streets, his robotic eyes glowing a soft blue due to the night time. And while he may have lost use of his powers currently, being part android did come with it’s benefits...

“Shit!” Justin grunted as he ran into someone, a flash of fear coming onto his face as he thought that it might be a PRIME employee...But then he saw that it was just another person. “I’m so sorry about that,” Justin apologized as he quickly tried to scramble up.
