Slowly, Rusty crouched down.
“I’m here to capture you, before Arquebus does.”

C4-621 manages to escape Institute City on his own after V.II Snail's failed ambush, but with Handler Walter no longer in contact with him and Balam essentially destroyed, C4-621's only ally is the disembodied Ayre.
Well, until the RLF swoop in, but that's its own awkward can of worms.
(AU from CH4 IBIS fight onwards.)

Summary
‘Rusty.’ The name stayed in his communications feed for a long time before 621 finished with: ‘Am I really your ‘buddy’?’
The instinct to reply immediately was surprisingly hard to squelch. ‘Of course’, he should say, add in a bit of dazzle and warmth to his voice for good measure, anything to keep this dangerous and mysterious threat onside for now. ‘We climbed the Wall together. We’re war buddies!’
But it wasn’t so easy to lie, nowadays.
or;
Rusty realises he has a weak spot for broken things.

Summary
"He couldn't possibly be anyone else; the similarities between the siblings were too striking. Sakura stared frankly at Itachi, inspecting every inch of him. Her lips parted as she took his measure.
His sharingan was dormant, but Sakura couldn't look away from the inky black pigment that made up his natural irises. There was a weight to his gaze that could only be described as ancient, carefully controlled into neutrality. But she caught glimpses of a pain so consuming that she thought she might drown in it. He showed no emotion other than tension in his jaw and a frown line between his brows, but Sakura knew, in the marrow of her bones, that he was deeply affected by what he'd done."
Non-massacre AU. After a tragic death leaves her reeling, Sakura is forced to play a dangerous game in order to survive. She embarks on a long mission to take down a critical player in a cold war between the Uchiha and the Senju. But before they can kill the objective, an unexpected ally presents himself, changing everything. The only thing that she knows for certain is that she has no choice but to find the strength to protect everyone. The fate of everyone she loves hangs in the balance.

Summary
The necromancer steps back with a slight bit of fear, and her hand glows with magic. “Sit down.” She stammers, and Phil does so. “We have no choice. This is a matter of life or death, you’re one of our last shots.”
“You expect me to kill my children?”
“I expect you to kill those monsters and stop the apocalypse.”
Phil smiles. It's a smile with a quiet anger.
---
In which Phil is revived, but only as a way to try and stop the apocalypse, and to kill his sons.
Obviously, Phil doesn't agree.
