"Oh, you want to know about that loser?" Mika sneered, shaking her head, "there’s nothing to talk about. That bastard built as a sex slave, and he had the audacity to claim that he was doing it for science, but I guess he couldn’t keep his dick in his pants. Then, the dumbass had to go and fall in love with his test subject."
"So you rejected him, and now he won’t let you leave."
Mika laughed, "yes. I reject him and he can’t take no for an answer. He can’t keep there, though, because there are always people around. So I just ignore him, and he is too pathetic to force . He’s probably planning to isolate , and that’s when he’ll strike."
John’s eyes widened. "We need to stop him, we need to break that cycle."
"You think? I just want him dead."
"I could make that happen for you, but we’ll need your help," John said.
Mika sighed, "what do you an?"
"The first thing is that I need him to pass his knowledge to Myers, which is already underway. But I also need you to tell so things."
Mika’s eyes narrowed, "what kinds of things?"
"What do you rember from when Edward created you? What can you tell about his research?"
Mika fell silent.
"The details are a bit fuzzy," she explained, "but the more you and I, well, the clearer everything gets.
"What do you an?"
"I an, it’s easier for to rember things when I’m with you, because...," she trailed off, her cheeks burning red.
"Because...?"
"Because you made feel things I’d never felt before."
John could hardly believe what he was hearing.
"What kind of things?"
"Like... affection, and joy, and excitent...," Mika explained as she looked away from John, clearly embarrassed.
"Mika, you know, we can’t just spend all day fooling around," John pointed out.
"I know, I just really liked it when you taught all those things," Mika replied as a shy smile played on her face.
John chuckled. "That’s good, but what I really need to know is if he has any hold on you. If he wanted to, could he force you to do things you don’t want to?"
Mika snorted, "no way, he may have built , but he cannot control . He could have, but he’s too stupid to do it. I’m just a toy to him, a plaything. I have no value beyond my appearance."
"So, there is a chance that he could control you. I need to know everything, Mika. If there’s even an infinitely small chance that he could take control of you sohow, I need to know."
Mika frowned. "Okay, if you’re so insistent, there was sothing. A chip, a small silver chip that was implanted into my head, behind my left ear. I rember him removing the old one and installing the new one. It was probably a control chanism, but I destroyed that one a long ti ago."
"So, you’re thinking there could be another part of you that he could use to control you that you’re not aware of?"
"There is a possibility..."
"I see. Thanks for telling . Let’s go to the university right now, we’ll have Myers take a look at you."
"John, is there anything that you are not telling ?"
"I might be missing a key detail that could put you or our plans at risk, we need to take precautions. Who knows, Myers might even be able to remove a potential weakness that would stop Edward from controlling you."
"Okay, I trust you. If I had any more secrets, I’d tell you," Mika replied as she got off the bench.
"Follow ," John said and walked towards his bike.
"Are we not using a car?" Mika asked.
"Why? We will be going into the city, and the roads will be clogged with abandoned cars. Plus, the monsters might be roaming about, and we can’t afford a car crash. Why do you ask? Are you afraid to ride on my bike?" John teased.
"Aren’t you worried the monsters might attack us?"
"I’ve killed hundreds of them by now. How can I not get used to riding around these things?"
"I-I see. So, are you going to drive ? Should I sit behind you, or can I sit in front?" Mika asked, trying to sound nonchalant, but the trembling in her voice gave away her fears.
"What? Of course, I’m the one driving, but why are you so nervous?"
"I’m not nervous. I’m just..."
"You’re afraid of bikes," John pointed out.
Mika averted her gaze. "I-I might have ridden on a bike once, but that was with that Edward creep, and I didn’t like it."
"I see," John smirked. "Alright, then, I’ll let you choose."
"Choose what?" Mika asked, her eyes still averted.
"Whether you will ride at the front or at the back."
"Uhh... the front?"
"Alright, let’s go," John said as he tossed her a spare helt.
Mika caught the helt and followed John to his bike.
"Co," he said, patting a small spot between his crotch and the bike’s fuel tank.
"There? Really?"
"Do you want to ride on the front or not?"
"Fine," Mika complained and squeezed herself between John and the bike.
"What now?"
"Hold on," he said.
John stood up and kicked the bike, revving the engine.
"Put your helt on. Hold onto my thighs if you want to keep your balance."
"W-what? Just hold on to your thighs?"
"Yep, unless you want to wrap your arms around my waist, then that’s fine too, but you will have to sit on the back for that."
"No, no. This is fine," Mika grumbled.
John could not help but smirk when he noticed how flushed her face had gotten.
"Alright, let’s go," he announced, revving his engine.
"Wait," Mika exclaid as she threw her leg over the seat.
John shook his head.
’Mika doesn’t realise how adorable she is when she is flustered.’
"Co here, you silly girl. There’s no need to be scared of a little bike. Just relax," he said, gently pulling her against him.
"Can’t I just take a car and et you there?"
"No. I’ll drive slowly, and I won’t do any funny moves, okay?"
"Promise?"
"Yes. I promise."
"Okay, fine. But please, be careful."
"I will. Now, hold on."
"Okay."
John smiled as he felt her arms tremble.
"You’re still tense."
"I’m sorry, I can’t help it."
"Here, let hold you," John said as he wrapped his arm around her arm and drove the bike one-handed.
"Relax, I got you," he whispered, leaning her against him.
Mika’s heart thumped as she felt him press against her.
She took a deep breath and exhaled.
"That’s it, relax, just relax. Don’t be scared. You’ll be okay."
John kept whispering softly into her ear.
She focused on the feeling of his body warmth and closed her eyes, the next ti she opened her eyes, they were already at the university.
