mission compromised
Android! Leon Kennedy x Male reader!
Nearly everyone in the RPD was huddled in the hallway out side of Cheif Iron's office, listening in on the very loud argument that was currently happening, an argument they already knew what the reason was.
Sat down on the little sofa that was in the hallway was a man with blonde hair styled perfectly, his blue eyes were looking around his surroundings, analysing evything and the people around him.
He wore the standard RPD uniform but on his jacket it had a blue triangle on the breast pocket and the words ' SK098' underneath showing off his serial number. The back of the jacket also has the serial number on it, along with the words 'ANDROID' in bold just below the collar.
A loud slam caused everyone to scurry away, acting like they weren't eavesdropping even though It was obvious.
A man with (h/c) hair stormed out, his eyes were narrowed into cold slits, mouth pulled into a snarl as he barked at people to get out of his way.
The android stood up and followed the man until they arrived at the courtyard, where the angered male pulled out a crumpled packet of cigarettes and a lighter from the old, dark brown leather jacket he always wore, despite it being against the dress code.
He placed ond between his lips but before he would light it though, a voice piped up behind him.
"cigarettes will decrease your lifespan, Detective (l/n). May I suggest something more healthy? Like chewing gum"
"I didn't ask for your opinion, tin can"
He muttered as he flicked the lighter and inhaled the smoke. He instantly felt his shoulders lower slightly, a well deserved smoke making him feel better after the crappy morning he's had.
"My name is Leon, I was sent by Cyberlife to assist you on the deviant cases. We should begin our investigation"
"I don't give a rats ass who sent you. I don't do partners, I work alone"
He took a deep breath, smoke unfurling in the crisp november air before it disappeared.
"But I know if I don't work with you I'll be stuck with you longer than I have to be. Fine, let's go hunt down some defective robots"
Leon's LED which was previously spinning yellow returned back to its normal blue.
"Do you have a lead, detective?"
"Not currently, but I know someone who will."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The two stood outside of a door in a fancy apartment building down town, looking for this person who could give them an answer as to where to start looking.
The detective knocked on the door in a series of knocks which Leon registered as a secret code. It wasn't long after he finished did the door creak open to reveal a woman.
Her hair was silky black and in a bob, her dark eyes analysing the two men at her doorstep. She wore a tight fitting maroon turtleneck that cut off just above her waist, black leather trousers clinging tightly to her legs.
A sharp smile was on her painted lips, something that made Leon's LED turn yellow. A feeling like uneasiness entering his coding which he brushed off as a maintenance issue.
"Well, look what the cat drags in. Get inside before my neighbours get suspicious "
After entering, the only human male sauntered to the sofa and sat down, the woman sitting next to him as the android just stood near the doorway.
"What brings you to darken my doorstep this time (y/n)?"
"I need to know if you've heard anything about any deviants. They'll be hiding, I need to know where"
The mystery woman still smiled, a controlled one that sat on her lips beautifully. Leon looked at her, his scanners analysing her face to find out who she was.
The only thing that came up was her name, Ada Wong. It didn't show anything else, not even a birth date, medical records, nothing. Just the name.
"I might know something. But what's in it for me handsome?"
"Same as last time?"
A smirk slid onto his lips, his eyes darkening just slightly. Ada mirrored his expression and nodded, before turning her attention to the android stood in her living room.
"What about your new friend?"
"It'll wait outside. Don't call it my friend"
He turned to look at leon, eyes still dark but not in the same was as when he looking at Ada. They were dark with annoyance now, borderline anger as he stared at the blond.
"Go wait in the hall. Don't even think of coming back in, I'll be out when we're done."
"Why not let him stay? He's awful cute"
Her hand was placed on (y/n)s shoulder, her dark eyes looking at leon like he was a piece of meet.
The man just scoffed, shaking him head.
"Fuck no. Get out."
**********
Leon didn't know how long he was stood in the hallway for. He just closed his eyes and reported to Simmons. The man wasn't very pleased that he hadn't found the deviants yet but he settled down a little when Leon told him they were currently following a lead.
His blue eyes opened when he heard the door, head turning to see the detective leaving the apartment, Ada behind him with a grin.
"See you soon (y/n), try not to stay away so long next time. Goodbye handsome"
She winked at leon before she closed her door, his systems heated up, Saying 'system error' until he managed to calm down. He'll to reboot himself later.
"Did you get any information, detective?"
The blonde turned to look at the man only to pause slightly. The man's hair was messy, more than it was before the arrived, his eyes were blown wide and he had smudged lipstick around his mouth.
It didn't take a genius to guess what their exchange had been.
"Someone reported their android kidnapping her daughter about an hour ago. He said the android was acting impulsive and even threatened her with a gun. They're hiding in an abandoned house a few blocks from here, Ada said that's our best bet for now, but she's keeping an ear to the ground. She'll let me know if she hears anything else"
His voice was shakey, but still held authority. They quickly moved through the building, heading towards the car to go to the next destination.
"Do you trust her?"
"Who, Ada? Not really an easy question to answer, tin can. But I know she wouldn't sell me out, just like I wouldn't sell her out. Let's leave it at that"
They quickly headed to the address the woman in red gave them, their eyes sweeping the area for any threats or anything that would give them away.
"Should we call for backup detective?"
He just shook his head, examining the clip of his gun.
"No, lets just see if they're in there for now. No point pissing Irons off more if No ones in there. Remember, the thing will probably still be armed. Lets move"
leon took the back of the house, whilst the officer took the front, entering after looking through the window to make sure it was clear. They swept the bottom floor and found nothing, quietly making their way up the stairs to do a full look.
(Y/n) lead the way, gun held infront of him as his (e/c) eyes darted around for any evidence the deviant was actually there.
The step creaked under his foot, giving away their position.
"Shit"
He whispered, before a loud thump came from the room at the end of the hall. They quickly ran towards it, shouldering open the door just as a loud bang echoed through the house.
A sharp, burning spread through the man's shoulder, the smoking gun still behind held at him before the deviant turned to run, her hand grabbing a child's. They bolted through the window, their only way of escape since the doorway was blocked.
Leon froze as he looked between the deviant and the human bleeding on the floor.
○ Go after the Deviant
× stay with the Detective
"What are you waiting for? Go after them!"
His hand was pressed tightly against the wound on his shoulder, blood still flowing through the gaps of his fingers and dripping down his arm.
Leon analysed that the wound wasn't fatal and quickly made a decision.
○ Go after the Deviant
He took off through the window, determined to catch up and take the rouge android into custody.
Leon climbed over the fence, turned down the same alleyways the deviant did and finally managed to catch up. But just as he turned round the last corner, another gunshot went off, this time hitting him in his shoulder.
"Stay back!"
The deviant exclaimed, using her body to shield the child behind her.
"Please, just let us go."
She had red hair that was pulled into a pony tail, a red leather jacket ontop of a pain white shirt and blue jeans that all looked too big for her. She must've stollen them so she'd fit it more easily.
The little girl behind her has blond hair that was pulled into a little bun, blue eyes and seemed to be wearing a uniform of shorts.
She was terrified, Leon could see how her hands trembled as they held onto androids leg.
"You are a deviant, you need to be taken to Cyberlife to be examined. There are errors in your programming"
He ignored that his shoulder was leaking thirium, it wasn't too deep of a wound so he wasn't overly worried.
"You can't, they'll kill me!"
"You are not alive. You are a machine."
She shook her head, dark blue eyes swimming with fear.
"They'll take her back there, she'll hurt her again. You can't, please, just let us go!"
His eyes flickered onto the child who's teary, fear filled eyes gazed into his own.
○Take them into custody
× Let them go
"Leon!"
Before he could decide however, his partner ran up beside him. He was breathing hard, hand still pressed firm against his shoulder.
"Fucking hell, you're fast"
He swore before his eyes landed on the situation infront of them. He saw the fear, the desperation between them, then he looked down. His gaze was locked on the little girl, watching as her little body shook and she cried silently.
"Why did you take the kid?"
Leon's eyes flicked to the man when he heard his voice. It was low and thick, heavy with emotion he couldn't quite place.
"Her mother was hurting her, neglecting her. I had to get her somewhere safe"
The gun was still raised, her eyes still narrowed but she picked up on the fact that he was distracted by his own mind.
The detective nodded, eyes unfocused and thoughts elsewhere.
"Take her and go."
"Detective, we can't let them-"
Leon was cut off as the man whipped round to face him, his face a canvas of various emotion. But one stood out clearer than the rest.
Grief.
"That kid was being abused so that android stepped in. She cares about that kid, she's feeling real human emotion. I-I can't.. just let them go Leon, we'll find another lead. We're done here."
The woman slightly lowered the gun, her grip still firm incase they tried to pull a fast one.
"Keep her safe."
With one final glace, the (brunette/blone/ext) turned away and guided the android back towards the way they had came.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"why did you let them get away?"
Leon wasted no time asking the question as soon as they got into the car. His partner gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning white.
"Why did you hesitate to stop them?"
He shot back, eyes shit tightly as he tried to ignore the memories that were plaguing his mind.
"I don't know."
It was a quiet murmur, but in the silent car it sounded might have well been a shout.
"I just saw how scared that girl was. She was terrified and I... I just froze"
"You showed empathy Leon. Empathy is a human emotion. "
He didn't know what to do with that. He was an android, a mechine designed to do tasks, his task was to hunt deviants.
And he failed.
"I'm going back to Ada's. Do me a favour and stay in the car. Please."
The blonde was going to argue, was going to state that the man needed to get his injury checked out but stopped at realising the he probably needed comfort right now, as something about their interaction had deeply affected him.
It didn't take long for them to arrive back at the apartment complex, leon stayed in the car per (y/n)'s request and simply watched as the man entered the building.
Ada was cautious as she approached the door, gun raised in one hand. Whoever was there had knocked normally, whereas the only person who knew she actually lived there had a secret code so she knew not to shoot him.
Looking through the peep hole, she saw the same man she saw just nearly two hours ago.
"(Y/n)? What are you-?"
"I was wrong about deviants. They feel emotion, real emotion. And the kid..."
Her eyes softened, knowing why he was affected by this so much. She should've know before she sent him after them.
"Come on in handsome, let me look at that shoulder for you."
(A/N: I hope this ok, I love detroit become human so I wanted to mix it up bit. I might do a part 2 if people like this enough 🤔 😊)
