Chapter Text
Hank was staring at Connor for the past minute or so. Connor’s eyes were closed and he was slumped on the couch, his led occasionally going to yellow then back to blue. Besides from the flickering led, Connor was as still as a statue and that’s what made Hank worry even more. He might be in stasis modes but with how tense Connor looked said otherwise.
Hank got up grabbing the closest blanket from him and throwing it on top of Connor. The Rk800’s eyes blinked open, led now yellow. “Hank, I’m not cold.” The android muttered. Hank sighed. “Just...Take a nap kid, bags are growing under your eyes...if that’s even possible for an android.” The last part was barely audible but he was sure Connor heard him. A small smile formed on the Rk800’s face before Connor proceeded to go to ‘sleep’.
Hank went back to sitting on the couch right next to Connor and turning on the TV. It’s only been five minutes of useless news yet Hank’s eyes were beginning to close. So, he decided to just shut his eyes, the TV turning into incoherent speaking till it was just quiet. That is until he was woken up by the sound of Sumo whimpering and the constant rustling next to him. “Connor?” Hank stared at the shaking mess that was Connor, already proceeding to wake the poor android up.
”Connor, Connor! Jesus fuck, Connor!!” Hank started to shake the android awake, hoping this did anything. Connor woke up with a jolt his led shining red. He looked around then looked back at Hank, eyes glistening with tears. “I’m sorry Hank. That was- uncalled for.” Connor sighs, looking away. “Fuck kid, it’s okay. Everybody has nightmares here and there.” Hank slumped back onto the couch, relieved that this was over. Sumo whined asking for pets, and Connor happily obliged but was awfully quiet. “Do you...wanna talk about it?” Tense silence filled the air but then Connor looks up and nods. “Yeah...yeah, I’d like to talk about it.”

Hank: I-...I am sorry too...Fuck I know this wasn’t your fault, I just don’t like to see Connor hurt.
Simon: And we don’t like to see Markus hurt either. Maybe...we could talk about this with North and Josh?

Hank: No, I would like to talk to them too.

Hank the dad: Because of the way you fucking acted around him!

Hank the dad : Jesus fuck you guys! What you did was so fucking stupid!
Josh: I-...Lieutenant, was there a reason why Connor hit Markus? From what Markus had told us, there was no reason as to why he would hit him...
Josh: And honestly, Connor would never do it, even though it’s rage. He would have to have reasons, good reasons. He would never hit Markus.
Hank the dad : Amanda.
Josh: Who?
Hank the dad: Amanda, from what Connor said, she’s the one who took control of Connor that time Markus was on the stage.
Hank the dad: idk the details, but according to Connor when Markus started shouting ‘orders’ so to say-
Hank the dad: He saw her, and I guess by instinct he just reacted.
Redhead: doesn’t hide the fact that Connor still hit Markus.
Josh: North please shut up.
Hank the dad: why’d you ask anyway?
Josh: Because Connor and Markus are showing signs of PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress disorder.
Josh: What I’m trying to say is...These two need to just talk it out...I was wrong by telling Markus to take a break from Connor.
Josh: After What you said, in these type of situations it is sometimes best to be with someone close to you...
Terrifying cutie: Thank you for telling us this Hank, we see what we did was wrong and we apologize.
Josh: Yeah, we are really sorry about what we did...
