X-87 opened his eyes and –
"Ack!"
Red eyes – no, blue eyes. (He was pretty sure it hadn't been a trick of the light but they had changed between one blink and the next.) Brown skin, white hair – wait, she wasn't –
"X-87," she said, nodding at him.
He blinked at her. "How did you know my code name?" She looked too young to be a scientist and she wasn't wearing a lab coat. Actually…X-87 took in the dress she was wearing as he sat up, shuffling a little so he was sitting on the edge of the cot. Her dress was similar to his uniform, but while his own had a solid black stripe from his collar all the way down, the black encompassed her shoulders and neck, leaving the middle white. She also had a thick second collar around her neck - it was a dull orange with a couple of small dark rectangles in the side as well.
She didn't say anything, her expression blank. It gave X-87 enough time to study her more and he realised she didn't have round pupils – they were a black cross in the centre, and the place where the edge of the pupils should have been were outlined with two outwards triangles (that he could see, anyway). Was her eyesight enhanced?
And it wasn't just the two of them in the room – there was another guy in a bed behind her, with brown hair and face a little darker than X-87's own.
"The fuck did you do t' me?" the brown-haired guy grumbled and X-87 wasn't sure, but he thought he could hear an echo of a growl in his words. The brown-haired guy hadn't even opened his eyes yet.
"We didn't, L-68," the white-haired girl said, taking a step away so that she could see them both. Her voice was…weird, like the voice some scientists gave their computers. It started high with each word and dipped down, but there was no inflection to it, sounding like she'd been told what to say.
L-68's eyes snapped open and he shot upright, glaring and baring his teeth at the white-haired girl. He stopped short with his mouth open as he took in her appearance.
When L-68's gaze slid to him (ah, he had grey eyes), X-87 gave him a small smile. "X-87."
"Hn." L-68 glowered at the white-haired girl. "And yours?"
She blinked. "B-01." Ah, that was good to know.
"An' how did ya know my code name?" L-68 drawled, crossing his arms as he raised his upper lip at her.
B-01 tilted her head. "I asked."
L-68 narrowed his eyes at her. "Who?"
X-87 was glad L-68 was asking an X-87 played with the tip of his hair, listening to their conversation.
"The Main Server."
The main-? X-87 studied her again, not looking at her face but at her collar. From the new angle, he could see the black rectangles weren't part of the design but were actually ports. And if they were connected to her then that meant…
"You're…a robot?" X-87 said, looking her up and down. He'd seen a few around the laboratory but none of them had appeared so human – there was usually something that marked them as a robot immediately.
"Android," B-01 corrected. "I am forty-two percent nanotechnology and fifty-eight percent human."
"Ah, okay," X-87 said, nodding, filing that bit of information away.
"Right." L-68 was a little looser now, and X-87 realised their uniform wasn't the same either – L-68's was the opposite of his own, black on the outside, a white stripe in the middle. L-68's also had sleeves and X-87 wondered if there was a reason for that; he knew why his didn't, so what could the L-series do?
"And does the Main Server tell you why we're here?" L-68 asked, frowning.
"…No," B-01 said after a pause.
X-87 glanced between L-68 and B-01, an idea forming as he started putting the pieces together. The scientists usually told them when they were about to do something – sometimes they didn't, but finding himself in a room with two different modified humans from different series… "Do you think…this is it?" He'd talked about it with the others, but he'd never thought he'd…
Surprise flashed across L-68's face for a second before L-68 turned a contemplative eye towards him and B-01.
"'It'?" B-01 was gazing at him and X-87 scratched the back of his neck. Maybe she hadn't been told?
"Only what they've been training us for for the last couple of months," Lex said, rolling his eyes.
X-87 saw the minute twitch in B-01's eyebrows. When she didn't say anything for a few seconds, X-87 asked her, "How long has it been since you, uh, came online?" Maybe she had to go through something different from what they had.
"Four minutes," she replied.
"Four – what the fuck?" L-68 spluttered, staring at her.
X-87 wasn't much better, his mouth gaping for a second. But, uh, okay. At least they knew now? Maybe the scientists just uploaded everything the B-series needed to know. "We're…a cell. The scientists have put us into groups."
B-01 nodded. "BLX-3."
L-68 snorted. "They still aren't imaginative with their naming."
"Do they need to be?" X-87 said, lifting one shoulder up in a half-shrug. "We know who's who."
L-68 scowled at him.
______________________________________________
Had to end it there because it kind of just died and I didn't want to finish it with yet another 'they waited'.
The question about 'why they're there' didn't work with B-01 because it was the wrong input. *cough*
How these three are interacting is hilarious to me right now. XD They start off like this but homg, after all the stuff that happens…
