Strange Love (KaseKatty & SteelStudBoy)

They arrived at a shopping center like block. It wasnt very large but alot of stores werecrammed into one tight space. The place was busy people everywhere shops with powered off androids that looked almost human like in the windows. Clothing stores separated some for humans some for androids. There were no mixed clothing stores. There were alot of stores that youd usually see in a mall. And also a large grocery store.
 
“That is the world?” he asked disappointedly “This kind of living blocks, and travelling in between with these crappy buses? Really, this is all, that remained?!” and locked his sparkling blue eyes on Viktoria.
“Well…” she answered uncertainly “…yes. Unfortunately, the world, as you remember it, had been perished. You are the only, living person, who knows personally, what it was looking like before the cataclysm.” she stopped for a second, then she added “Sorry for that”
“To be honest, when I have decided to try this cryostasis-thing” he sighed resigned “I didn’t imagine the future like this” he showed around.
“Actually, of course, the city is much larger” explained the android “and from this block, you can arrive to the others by walk on speedwalks”
“Then let’s, take a good walk” Dominick sighed again “I need to learn this world, as I have to live the rest of my life here…”
 
Viktoria nodded and walked with him. it was a normal day quite a busy one. People buzzing around. A kid ran after her puppy that got away from her. Her parents no where in sight.
 
They took a walk in the block, which was not overly large, but quite spacious, to spend even an hour to walk around. Meantime they talked to each other, usually Dominick asked about the life of 23rd Century, and Viktoria tried to answer all of his questions.
A little girl ran after her puppy, that got away from her. It attracted Dominick’s attention, that none of her parents were nowhere in sight.
“The public order is that good?!” he asked, nodded to the little girl, who seemed not older than 8-10 years.
“I wouldn’t say that” she answered “Though the population of Earth is much less now, than it was in the 21st Century, the total population is no more than two billion, but the humans are living in much less area, crowded to these protected living blocks, and underground cities. The public order is not so good, robberies, mugging, and even murders are quite common. We have strong law enforcements, and very fast justice system, but we can barely keep up the order.”
“Saw, that children? Alone?” asked again, mean about the child, already behind them, as they walked toward.
“I would say, it is strange” admitted Viktoria.
Dominick looked back to the little girl. She was catching her puppy, then looked upon him for a second, with huge, open wide eyes. Afterwards she turned around, and ran away with her little dog.
“Can we go by that speedwalk, to one of the neighbor blocks, you have mentioned?” he asked then.
“Sure” Viktoria nodded “This way”
As they walked, Dominick catch flied on the streets. The whole surrounding resembled to him to Mega-City 1, in the film, Judge Dredd, might be a bit more utopian. As he was gaping, for a short second he thought, he saw the little girl, with her dog again. But, it was only one glimpse, so he was not really sure in that, therefore he forgot it very fast.
Of course, he was a teen boy, his hormones are raging in his body, so he couldn’t but staring the sexy girls on the streets as well. And there were a lot! Actually more, than back in his time. But then he had to admit, that none of them was as amazingly, and sensually beautiful, as her partner, Viktoria.
“Still you are the most beautiful, Viktoria” he murmured unwittingly.
 
The little girl ran to the living block she had no parents so she usually slept of the bottom floor. She sat on the floor holding her puppy as she tried to safely get a rope around his neck. She had not collar for him or leash so a very short rope was all she had. The little girl sat there once done the puppy took off again going to Dominick happily. She ran after the puppy trying to grab him. She was terrified of viktoria and dominick because of how nice they looked. Viktoria had been walked with Dominick when the puppy ran straight into him barking happily. He was a heavily mixed mutt. That seemed to love Dominick
 
“Woa, woa, woa!” he laughed, when the little dog barked on him playfully “My first fan, here in the twenty-third Century!”
“He seems like you” nodded Viktoria toward the puppy.
Dominick crouched, and played a bit with the playful animal. Then the little girl came over to him, and finally catch him, putting a rope onto his neck.
“You are huge” she smiled, then ran away, with her puppy.
“Why it is, that whenever I am liked by somebody, she is a little girl, or a grandma’?!” he sighed, then stood up.
With Viktoria’s lead they went down, and more down, by escalators. It seemed, that there are quite a lot floors downward. These areas were a bit more cramped, and seemed more crowded as well.
“This way” she showed him “Will be shorter, faster, less crowded”
The streets – which were actually corridors – seemed similar to the ones, back in his time, but a bit more cramped, and of course, they were not opened upward. These, where they were walking now, seemed more like alleys, sparsely populated, darker. Dominick had discomfort, and just wanted to tell this to Viktoria, but he was too late.
In the next second, dazzling flash rendered him blind. He felt, that several people rushing toward them, but he couldn’t see them actually. A painful cramp run through his body, and he fell down unconscious…
 
Viktoria was able to knock and few people out before she was zapped with a strong tazer shutting her system down they took her away leaving dominick there unconcious. Their only interest was Viktoria. A couple hours later dominick was woken by a wet tongue the puppy had run off again finding dominick unconcious it tried to wake him
 
He felt something wet, and warm caressing his face.
The next thing, what he felt, the well-known headache. But, somehow that was different, not like the one, he felt for months, before he had been put into cryo-stasis. That was arrived from a certain area of his brain, but this one is imbuing the entire back of his head. But, the fear is still in him, that the cancer was back.
When he was able to open his eyes, he saw the little dog licking his face, the little puppy of that 8-10 years old girl. She was there as well, few steps farther. She was not so brave, like her puppy, to go so close to Dominick.
“Hello” he murmured to her.
“Hello” she greeted back.
“How long I’ve been unconscious?” asked her.
“Maybe two hours” she answered.
Dominick sat up, then slowly stood up. His head was almost falling apart, at least he felt like that, and he was a little bit quivering and felt giddy.
“Where is my friend?”
“They took her away” then she waved on one direction “That way”
Dominick tried to think a little bit, though it was not easy with his splitting headache. He saw nothing about their attacker, he even didn’t know, how much were they or who were they? “That’s it! Who were they?! That is important to find out!” he thought.
“Did you saw, who attacked us?” he asked the little girl, while he was trying to look through the area to any hint or evidence about the identity of their raiders.
“Yes” she told “But I don’t know, who they are… They wore everyday clothes…”
“Of course…” he mumbled angrily. But then he rebounded, as he found a keycard, slide in the joint of the walk and the wall panel “But, they were not careful enough!”
But, he was very careful when he was trying to get that keycard out from the seam, as he didn’t know, whether it can slide even deeper, or not? His attentiveness was rewarding, as he had the card soon.
“Well…” he lift that in front of his eyes “Now, I just have to nose out, which kind of keycard is this, to where it belongs to?”
 
The girl looked at the keycard. The symbol was a sun with a grid pattern the card was yellow and blue. "that symbol is the logo of the Numig Corp. They sell extremely expensive androids. Their overpriced but still make money. They are the only custom android company. " after she spoke a cellphone rang it was a bit farther from them but it was most likely Viktorias. Must have fallen when they carried her away. The caller id was doctor, most likely dr.hullington. the girl grabbed her puppys rope. She didnt know how else to help. When dominick answered doctor Hullington spoke frantic "Viktoria!! Are you alright i got a malfunction report!"
 
Dominick was jumped a bit, when he heard something was ringing.
Lead by the sound, he found a small device, which was around as large, as a credit card back in his time. It was made of crystal clear material., maybe some kind of polymer. On the surface he saw pictograms, and a text, like on a mobile phone. The text said: doctor.
“Hm..?” murmured helplessly “Dr. Hullington?”
He took the device from the ground, grabbed on the edges, carefully, not to touch the surface, until he won’t know, how it should operate. It looked very similar to the mobile phones, so he tried a pictogram, which was similar to an answer key.
“Hallo?” he said into the device, held it like it was a mobile phone.
“Who’s there?!” heard an impatient voice.
“Dr. Hullinton?” Dominick asked, as the voice sounded similar to the Doc’s voice.
“Yes, but who are you?! Hold that bloody communicator in front of your face, to see who are you!!!”
“Oh…”
Dominick flushed red in embarrassment. “Fuck! I’ve saw so much sci-fi movies, and tv series, read so much sci-fi novels, and I can’t use a simple, 23rd Century communicator properly!!!” He held the device in front of himself.
“Well, I could thought…” mumbled the Doc annoyed “Only this Neandertal from the 20th Century could be so primitive, not to able to use a communicator!”
“That’s enough, Doc!” pealed Dominick “I am from the 21st Century, and yes, I cannot use the things immediately, without direction! But I am not an idiot, you haughty, arrogant smartass!!!”
Dr. Hullington seemed surprised. Then he stepped over on it, however he continued a bit more mannered:
“Where is Viktoria?” he asked.
“She’d been kidnapped” answered Dominick.
“What!?!?” shouted the professor “When, how, who?!”
Dominick has explained everything, as it happened, till the communicator’s rang.
“I’ve found only one thing” he finished “Something, which looks like a keycard, with the logo of Numig Corporation” and he held the card in front of the communicator to show it to the Doc.
 
The doctor groaned "fuck you have to find her. She can not be maintenanced. they will try to open her up to study her ,unlike most androids, she cant be opened up. It'll kill her. Theyve shut down her tracker. Im going to send the location of Numig research facility on the communicator. Got to it and be quick. I cant remake her." The communicator beeped and an app like google maps poppex up in the lower corner. "Follow the map. Their facility is in the area. "

Viktoria awoke to a room, empty with blank walls. She got up her body weak. A one way mirror in the room on the other side a man watched her taking notes on her.
 
Dominick looked onto the communicator dumbfounded.
What?!?!” he thought scared “I have to rescue her?!?! And why not the law enforcements?! What the hell can I do?! I know about nothing this world, I even can’t t pay for a fucking bus ticket!!!
He looked the Google Maps-like application on the communicator, and he added in his thoughts: “Well, at least I do not have to buy bus ticket!
The Numig research facility was in the nearby block, which was reachable by the speedwalks.
OK, then. Well, I am here in the 23rd Century only a few hours yet, but now I am a wannabe action hero. I think that is world record short time!
“Thanks, kiddo…” he told to the little girl “I need to go now”
“You go to save your girlfriend?” she asked, with huge, curious eyes, and innocent smile.
Dominick was stunned by the question first, then he laughing out loud:
“Well, I think yes, I go to save my girlfriend, though she is not my girlfriend” told her then he added in his mind “Not yet!”.
Dominick followed the map.
It took almost half an hour to arrive to the place. Here the streets were a bit wider, not so cramped, even a small square was located in front of the research facility. He walked around the location, as inconspicuously as he could. Then he found that there were several smaller back doors, shutters, and drop-doors, out of the main entrance.
He decided to go in on one of the back doors.
 
The place wasnt gaurded heavily but once he got closer to viktorias location it became more crowded and there was no visibly easy way to get to her. Viktoria was pulled out of the room and stunned they were preparing to open her up. A doctor with high clereance had the hmsame card as dominick had. Viktoria was kept in the room.
 
The facility was nowhere near as heavily guarded, as he expected.
Dominick could easily sneak in, and he could go through the corridors, his find keycard opened all the doors, he had encountered. Sometimes he had to jump in a corner, or in a small room, to avoid guards, or researchers, or other personnel, belongs to this facility.
Then he caught sight of her.
She was forwarded on a wheeled bed, through the corridor, then she was wheeled into one of the rooms. She seemed unconscious, or whatever this state shall be called in case of an android, inactive? Might be that is the proper word. She seemed to be naked under the blanket, which with she was covered. Viktoria was escorted by several people, one of them seemed a high-ranking researcher. In his neck there was a keycard, which had the same color pattern, like the one in Dominick’s hand. That was good news, as it will open the door to him.
But want he enter to that room?
There were two guard-like men with the team, plus the researchers, who were five, or six. That is a lot, might be he can defeat two-three man, if they are not equipped with guns, but not seven, or eight, with two of them armed. That would be suicidal, even if they would not want to kill him.
He was still think about, when the researchers were coming out from the room after a minute, so only the two guards remained with Viktoria.
That is still very risky, but feasible” he thought, and he acted.
When nobody was on the corridor anymore, he walked to the door, and opened it with his keycard without any problem. Then he entered into the room. He noticed Viktoria immediately, but he didn’t want to caring for her at the moment, first the guards had to be eliminated.
So, his second glance was measuring up the guards, and their positions, and he wasn’t happy. Of course, they stood far away from each other, on the two side of the door, around in 6-8 feet of distance from it. Dominick hesitantly turned to the one of his left, and while walking toward him, he told:
“Hello! The professor told me to take her with me!”
“What?!” asked the guard confused “Which professor?”
“Dr. Hullington” Dominick answered, and he was only one more step away from the guard.
“Here there is no Dr. Hullington!” answered the guard, and he became suspicious.
“I know!” and Dominick punched him on his face so fast, the poor guy couldn’t even react on it.
The other guard was not stupid, and he was reacting really fast. Fortunately, Dominick was calculating on that, and while the knocked down guard collapsing, he grabbed his uniform, and turned around with him so quickly, which totally gave the lie to his massive frame, and he hurled the swooned guard toward the other one.
The taser shot hit the unconscious guard.
Dominick was shooting through the distance between him, and the second guard. The first one just in the very moment arrived to the ground, when Dominick appeared from behind, and raided over on the second guard. He was so surprised, that he even couldn’t shot with his taser second time. Dominick rendered him unconscious with a single blow, just like the first one.
 
Viktoria was just laying there. When dominick went to get her the high security scientist walked in he pointed a stun gun at dominick "freeze " he moved closer to him "who are you? Why are you here?" He was a tall man looked 65-70 he looked in perfect health. Moved like an young man.
 
“I could ask that from you too!” Dominick retorted, hoping, that he could win some time, until he find out what to do.
Unfortunately, the old man – who seemed to be in stunningly good condition – had took by surprise him. He was so happy, that he could defeat the guards, and tried to find out how to reactivate Viktoria, when the professor stepped into the room, with a gun in his hand.
“Do not jesting, young man!” he ordered to him “Who sent you? Why you are here?”
Fuck! He is too far away” he thought, as he tried to consider his possibilities “He will shoot me down, if I try to do anything against him” he cannot find the solution. The professor was around 7-8 feet from him, which was way too far to attack him, without being shot.
“Well, I came to rescue my friend” he answered to the professor, and he stepped one small step closer to him “Because, your guys stunned me, and took her from beside me!”
“Don’t move!” shouted the old man, and Dominick has stopped immediately “Well, that was a mistake, to leave you there, I told this to my colleagues…” he lifted the gun a bit upper, and pointed the barrel to his forehead “But now I correct this mistake!”
Dominick felt similar hit, and painful cramp, like the one on the street, but it started from his brain, and everything went black…
 
Hours later a familiar nasty tone could be heard "hey wake the fuck up i dont have the patience to deal with you. Viktoria wake him up. The door shut and Viktoria spoke "dominick wake up im okay. They hit you pretty hard though. You alright ?" She shook him lightly to wake him. Viktoria was sitting there perfectly fine. No damage to her
 
A nice, sweet voice was waking him up.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself in front of Viktoria’s beautiful face, and vivid blue eyes. That is the best sight he could see right after his wake up. But, emerged from his unconsciousness, his headache was back again.
“Fuck!” he mumbled “Why the hell shall I always have headache?!”
“Now you have because you have had a direct hit on your brain from a stun gun” Viktoria explained.
“Super” he murmured. Then, as he saw around in the room, he noticed, that this is his room, where he woke up at first time in the 23rd Century. Viktoria was wearing a similar, tight outfit, like at that time, though it is obviously not the same one. He was also wearing something different, not the same one, he was wearing then, when he infiltrated to the enemy research facility.
“How we are here?!” he asked confused “I remember nothing… Just, that that old man had shot me in my head…”
 
"Dr. Hullington knew you couldnt do anything he used you too stall and it worked police arrived in time to save me form being killed. " viktoria seem to have a happy tone to her voice shed never had that before. She seemed to have more ability to feel emotions.
 
Dominick was dumbfounded.
He was sure, that Viktoria was happy. But that is impossible, as she cannot feel anything, she has blocks to feel emotions. And happiness is an emotion. She had an almost unnoticeable, cheerful smile on her beautiful, enticingly plump lips, her cheeks seemed a slightly blushed, and her huge, bright blue eyes are radiating with joy.
He lifted his hand, and he caressed her gorgeous face gently:
“You are happy” he told to her.
Viktoria didn’t move for a second. Dominick couldn’t decide, if she had been surprised by his touch, or enjoying it, or something else?
“Yes, I am happy” she answered then, with a bit more noticeable smile.
“Happiness fits you well” he smiled onto her “You are even more captivating”
“Uhm… Well… Thank you” she answered hesitantly, then she steered away the discussion “Dr. Hullington would like to see you. We shall go to his lab”
No way, she is abashed!” he thought surprised “A few hours earlier even she couldn’t understand, what is feeling at all, and now she is happy, and embarrassed, no way!” then he added in his mind, trustingly “However, would be good, if she could improve so fast…
“OK, let’s go!” he answered, not to show his thoughts.
A few minutes later they were in the lab. The Doc was treating something, which seemed to be some kind of artificial muscles.
“Ah, the self-proclaimed hero” he looked up.
“You told to me to be one” he answered, more or less calmly.
“Well, yes, and you have done your job good” the professor stepped closer “After all, it proved, that you are not a worthless Neanderthal”
“What happened with those two guards, whom I knocked out?” asked Dominick purposeful.
“Oh…” the Doc seemed a bit tipped out from his position “The jaw of one of them has been smashed to pulp, the other one’s cheekbone had been splintered.”
“Both of it I have made with a single blow. I can do that with you as well, if you call me Neanderthal once again!” he claimed a bit angrily.
Dr. Hullington was freezing for seconds, then he laughed affectedly:
“Well, you are right!” he told “You were done good job, and though you know nothing about the world, still got into that facility. Thank you for that. Here, you get your own communicator, and a credstick. You can move alone anywhere. Your living place is this facility.”
Then the doctor went back to his research task.
Dominick has expected something like that. He would be surprised, if Viktoria would be allowed to leave Dr. Hullington’s facility anymore.
When they left the lab, Dominick gave voice to his doubts:
“Well, that means, you have never allowed to go with me anymore, you have to stay in this facility forever”
 
Viktoria nodded "yes this does mean im stuck here. Im to valuable to Dr.Hullington. it crucial i dont get..." Viktoria clenched a fist and stopped talking mid sentence. her eyes changed as she smashed her fist into the wall then she immediately when back to normal like nothing happened " hurt. It took more than a year to make me. Plus my materials are expensive" viktoria had been hiding her malfunction. Her emotion blocker had been fried when she was shocked. It was slowly failing and her emotions were randomly lashing out. Her anger about being stuck there had just lashed out.
 
Dominick watched stunned, as Viktoria were punching in the wall.
He noticed, that her eyes color had changed, then changed back, to the normal, so beautiful blue. She delivered great strength in the hit, there remained cracks on the wall panel, where her fist had been slammed to the wall. Dominick gauged her strength, and found, that she might even stronger then him. He could smash a hole on a wall, though his fingers, and hand bones would be splintered, and seemed, that Viktoria didn’t have these limits. However, in an arm wrestling, which relies on pure strength, they might be nearly on the same level.
But, for him it was much more interesting that emotion burst, as he couldn’t name it other way. It seemed, that Viktoria somehow broke through her emotion-blocker with her feeling, and it burst out in this hit. But, how that could happen? Doc had said, that it would be dangerous, if she could leave her feelings free, because she would not be able to handle them, and she could become dangerous. If that is true, that Dominick should note this episode to the Doc.
But he didn’t would like.
Finally, she can feel something! Dominick saw anger in her eyes, just before the very moment, when her eyes were changing, and right after, when changed back. It was for only a very short time, but surely were there! And, that is so overwhelmingly exciting! He will help her to handle her feelings, and she will not be dangerous! After all, Dr. Hullington kept him here for this task – though, he still didn’t know, why he had been chosen for that charge?
He reached out to her hand, which with she punched into the wall. He lifted it, and checked thoroughly, but he found only small bruises on her knuckles. He gently caressed her hand, and let off of it.
“What was that, Viktoria?” he asked then to her “You are, or were angry, am I right?”
 
Viktoria stood there "i-i dont know the thought of being stuck here i got upset then suddenly my body lashed out. I dont underst... " she began sobbing randomly. She had no control over her emotions
 
“Woa, woa… Shhh” he tried to set her easy “I can imagine, that this can be fearsome to you!” and stepped closer to her. He involuntarily tried to hug her, hoping, that with the friendly – or unwittingly more than friendly – gesture would help to her to be felt reassured “I am here, and I try to help you to understand, what, and why you feel, how to handle those emotions, which were suppressed in you till now…”
 
Viktoria shoved him away extremely hard almost throwing him into the wall. Her face was a deep shade of red from embarrassment
