    Summary

    It's months before Connor realizes that the damage to his regulator never fully repaired from when it was torn out and thrown across the room. It's months more before he realizes how hard it is to live with system damage that just gets worse, and worse, until he can barely work, or smile, or think-

    But it's fine. He doesn't need to ask New Jericho for a replacement part. Really.

    He's fine.

    Summary

    Connor paused, frowning. Hank was right, of course. Despite myths that androids didn’t require rest or sustenance at all, androids did need regular replenishing of their thirium supply to replace what was absorbed into their joins or pump. A quick scan revealed his supply was running below optimal levels. “I am still functional, Lieutenant. I am not in urgent need of anything.”

    Hank eyed him uncertainly, before giving up and dropping into his chair. “Whatever you say, kid. Wake me up once you’re ready to clean up.”

    Summary

    There's a certain stillness to the aftermath. It's a quiet, mundane consistency, like the universe is giving them room to pick up the pieces, to try and establish a sense of normalcy.

    To figure out what normal means, now.

    Summary

    Tina squinted against the soft rays of sunlight seeping in, holding her hand up to block the worst of it. All around the station, detectives and officers alike sat slumped in chairs or yawning. She herself yawned at the sight, eyes watering. "Hey. Tina. Hey. Hey."

    She rolled her eyes and swiveled her chair to face Chris, rubbing her eyes and only realizing she was smudging her eyeliner mid-rub. "Hey yourself, Mister Bright-Eyed-and-Bushy-Tailed." Another yawn. She swore she could feel part of her soul leaving her body. "Just because you're used to late nights doesn't give you the right to be so happy right now."
