DBH Case File: Deviancy 001
As a single mother and dedicated police officer, Serena's priorities are clear. Her work with her partner Hank to solve cases of android deviancy becomes even more interesting when Cyberlife sends a handsome young android to assist them. This leads to some interesting questions about love and relationships, especially as Serena's daughter Cassia seems to have taken a liking to the new android and demands he be her father!
Hello and welcome to my story 10000000 or so XD
I’m like this, I write a while for one fandom, till another grapes me.
I recently replayed Detroit Become Human, to get the Trophies I missed and well I fall into the DBH Hell.
I wanted to first make this Reader-Insert for all of us ninety babies who will be in their 40s when Android are around, but it didn’t quite work, so I made Serena and her family.
She may be a self-insert XD
Okay, she is a self-insert :(
Please don’t kill me.
I hope a lot of you will like what I will do with the story and the changes I have planned.
I can already tell that Alice will be human, no stupid Android Plottwist and Markus and Simon will be a pair. :)
Also, maybe one day when I finish this fic I will try to make a Reader-Insert based on it.
But first I write this version. ^^
Also before I forget I will change the timeline since it doesn’t make sense that all happens in like three days?!
So please enjoy and leave some comments.
Case: 001
NOV 5TH, 2038
AM 8:00
Winter has arrived in the Metropolis of Androids, also known as Detroit.
Forty-four-year-old LT. Serena Di Martino enters her workplace, one of Detroit's police stations, humming a soft tune.
In one hand she had a box of doughnuts in the other a cupholder with two coffees.
"Morning, Serena!", greeted the young police officer Chris Miller sitting on his desk.
"Hey, Chris! How is the little one?"
"Oh he grows and grows and it's just amazing!"
"You are dead tired right?"
"I think I hear colours..."
This made Serena snort and she held out the doughnut box to Chris.
"Take one. I understand you, Cassia didn't like to sleep at all."
Thankful Chris takes a doughnut before asking her how her daughter is doing.
Proud Serena told how Cassia won the Science Fair at her school.
Chris gave his congratulations and told her to greet Cassia from him.
She promised and sat down at her own table.
Of course, her partner (and dad-like figure) Hank Anderson was not there.
Probably drank himself silly and is either still at Jimmy's Bar or on the floor of his house.
Serena signs, rubbing her temples.
Once she hunted Hank always down when she was young and new, but now...she loved Hank, he was like family, but she couldn't help someone who didn't want help.
When Cassia first was born, it seemed Hank got a spark back.
For a while, he had stopped drinking, but always the anniversary of Cole's death brought him back to the liquid death.
So she decided to just work on their case files.
That Hank would chance, was just a possibility as she found a spouse and good parent for Cassia.
She took a sip from her coffee and started to work.
At Lunchtime she was nearly done with the cases they were behind, so she called home.
Cassia picked up the phone.
"Mama!"
"Hey, my angel, how are you?"
"I'm good, I did already my homework."
"That's amazing. Are you a good girl for Mrs. Francis?"
Mrs. Francis was the old lady who lived beside them, an ex-teacher and now boosted her pension with babysitting.
"Mother I'm nine years old, don't treat me like a child.", pounded Cassia.
Serena laughed.
"Even when you are as old as I am I will see you as my little girl."
From Cassia came a groan.
"You will understand if one day you want children."
"If you say so...Mama, Mrs. Francis is calling me, she wants me to help her finish the cake."
"Oh, you made cake?!"
"Chocolate cake, Mama."
"You two are treasures."
This made Cassia laugh.
They talked till Lunchtime was over and Serena had to go back to work.
It was nearly time for Serena to return home when she heard someone calling for her.
"LT. Di Martino?", said a gentle and pleasing voice.
Serena turned around and her brain short-circuited.
A handsome young man stood before her.
He had brown hair, like her, with a cheeky lock falling in his by the god's sculpted face with soft brown eyes.
He was tall and lith and...way too young for her.
Serena gave herself mentally a slap.
The man could be at most twenty-five and she was forty-four.
She didn't prey on younger ones.
Pretty Boy continued to talk, but she heard only swoosh.
"Excuse me, can you repeat yourself?", she asked him. "I'm a bit tired and I didn't catch all."
"Of course, ma'am. My name is Connor. I’m the Android sent by CyberLife."
It was like a record scratch.
Android?
Now Serena looked really at his clothes.
Yep, Android with blinking LED even.
Oh god, she had lusted over a machine?!
It would be like if she lusted for her Dildo!
Was she a pervert?!
This question had to wait for a more important one.
"Well, Connor from CyberLife, why are you here?"
"You and your partner LT. Hank Anderson, were assigned a case early this evening. A homicide, involving a CyberLife android. In accordance with the procedure, the company has allocated a specialized model to assist investigators.", explained Conner calmly.
Serena fixed her black glasses, nervous.
"I didn't get a new case fill...", she trailed off and moved to Hank's computer. She knew his password, so she could check. "Ah, yes here it is. Since Hank has seniority over me, he has got it."
The brunette woman turned to the (sexy) Android.
"And CyberLife send you as help?"
"Yes, ma'am. I'm their most advanced prototype, equipped with all the necessary programs and functions to help the police with their work."
Till the day she did Serena would lie about how she thought about if he had a dick, like sex androids.
"Well, I wanted to go home, but this case has priority. Please wait here, I need to call home to tell my daughter it will be late again."
"Of course, ma'am."
Obedient, like to good little mascine he was, he waited at her table, while she called Cassia.
Her daughter was not happy about it, yet she was used to her workload.
Mrs. Francis, as always, would stay the night with Cassia.
Knowing her daughter was in good hands she returned to Connor.
The young Android looked curious (could a machine be curious?) at her pictures.
"Come on, we need to find Hank. I have a feeling I know where he is."
"Your daughter looks like you just her eyes are blue. From her father?"
Serena shrugged her shoulders.
"Blue eyes are in my family, so she could have gotten it from her grandfather. When I picked the donation I didn't really care for eye colours."
Well, an Android could be stupified is what Serena learned.
"Oh, you had artificial insemination."
"I never had a relationship, but I wanted children, this was the only way. Our nation doesn't let singles adopt children."
She shrugged her shoulders again.
Awkward silence was between them.
Android could be awkward too.
Interesting.
"Come now, Conner.", she waved, so he followed her. "My car is just outside."

NOV 5TH, 2038
PM 11:21
The drive to Jimmy's Bar was quiet.
Maybe talking to a woman about artificial insemination was not written in Connors's program.
Well, Serena enjoyed the silence.
So she could think about how to explain to Hank how they had now an Android at their side.
Hank hated Androids.
He gave an Android the fault for Cole's death.
Her partner would not celebrate this new gadget they got.
The car stopped before Jimmy's Bar and Serena pointed at Connor.
"You stay here. Androids are not allowed in."
He gave her such puppy dog eyes that she wanted to cuddle him.
No, no cuddling!
Forget this thought, Serena!
She climbed out of the car and entered the Bar.
Greetings were sent her way, as she walked to Hank.
Of course, he was drinking himself silly.
"Didn't come today to work. Chris and I had a bet, I bet you were at home drinking your weight in Whiskey, seems like I lost the bet.", she greeted her partner sarcastically.
With little red eyes, Hank looked at her.
"I thought you stopped convincing me from stopping to drink, 'Rena."
"Don't butter me up with my nickname, Hank. We got a problem."
"What problem?"
It was like the universe wanted to show him the problem since Connor entered the Bar.
Serena groaned.
"I told him to stay in the car..."
"Do you know this plastic asshole?!"
"I had the pleasure of meeting him already."
Connor reached them and introduced himself to Hank.
"Lieutenant Anderson, my name is Connor. I’m the Android sent by CyberLife. I looked for you and Lieutenant Di Martino at the station but only found her. Thankful she knew where you were."
Hank ignored him and turned to Serena.
"What did I do to you, that you bring an Android with you?!"
"Like I had a choice. If he is here, then the higher-ups are okay with him. Other than you, I don't want something in my records.", she sassed back, crossing her arms.
"Shit!"
"You two were assigned a case early this evening.", talked Connor in between them. "A homicide, involving a CyberLife android. In accordance with the procedure, the company has allocated a specialized model to assist investigators."
"Well, Serena and I are a good team, we don’t need any assistance. Especially not from a plastic asshole like you. So just be a good lil' robot and get the fuck outta here.", fired Hank back and took a sip of his drink.
Letting out a huff Serena fixed her glasses.
"Hank, I don't think we have a choice."
He just grumbled at her.
"I understand that some people are not comfortable in the presence of androids but I am-", began Connor only to be interrupted by Hank: " I am perfectly comfortable… Now back off, before I crush you like an empty beer can!"
Connor seemed lost for words for a second before he seemed to have an idea.
"You know what? I'll buy you one for the road. What do you say? Bartender, the same again, please!"
"Smart.", praised Serena Connor.
The Android gave her a charming smile, that maybe made her blush a bit.
But only a bit!
"See that, Jim? Wonders of technology… Make it a double.", laughed Hank.
After he drunk he said: "Did you say homicide?"
/*/
Since Hank was drunk and Serena didn't want him dead, she swiped his car keys and made him ride shotgun in his own car.
Conner sits in the back seat like a child.
It was kind of cute.
Her own car, drown home alone, and she would later take a Taxi after they finished work.
Hank grumbled all the time stupid plastic asshole under his breath, for which Serena tutted him like a child.
Connor found this exchange fascinating.
LT. Anderson was clearly the older, but LT. Di Martino treated him like her rebellious son.
Maybe because she was a mother?
He read during the car ride all the articles he could find on Motherhood and it seemed a female phenom to take care of the people around you.
Especially after one was a mother herself.
Fascinating, really.
Soon they reached the crime scene.
Hank turned to Connor and told him: "You wait here. We won't be long."
"My instructions are to accompany you two to the crime scene, Lieutenant.", reminds Connor.
"Listen, I don’t give a fuck about your instructions. I told you to wait here, so you shut the fuck up and you wait here."
"You can say it nicer, Hank.", grumbled Serena and followed Hank out of the car.
Not a second later Connor joined them.
A journalist stops them, but they don't give a comment.
They enter the crime scene as a police officer stops Conner.
"Androids are not permitted beyond this point."
"He is with us.", told him, Serena, while Hank asked Conner rhetoric if he could listen.
Connor answer was that Hank order's contradicted his instructions.
"You don't talk, you don't touch anything and you stay outta my way, got it?", told Hank.
"Got it."
Serena just looked at Connor and raised an eyebrow.
And this didn't go against his instructions?
Well, they would see.
They meet up with Ben Collins who gives them the briefing.
The victim name's was Carlos Ortiz he has a record of theft and aggravated assault. According to the neighbours, he was kind of a loner. Stayed inside most of the time, they hardly ever saw him. His landlord had called the police around eight since his tenant hadn't paid his rent for a few months, so he thought he'd drop by, and see what was going on.
That’s when he found the body.
Serena and Hank enter the house, and the woman nearly throws up.
This smell!
"Jesus, that smell!", gronend Hank, hiding his nose in his jacket sleeve.
"Was even worse before we opened the windows.", told them, Ben.
"I hardly believe it.", mumbled Serena and started to look around.
They looked at the corpse.
"Uh, state he’s in... Wasn’t worth calling everybody out in the middle of the night… Could've waited 'til morning.", wondered Hank.
"I'd say he's been there for a good three weeks." guessed Ben. "We'll know more when the coroner gets here. There's a kitchen knife over here… Probably the murder weapon…"
"Any sign of a break-in?", asked Serena.
"Nope… The landlord said the front door was locked from the inside, and all the windows were boarded up. The killer must've gone out the back way."
Hank hummed.
"What do we know about his android?"
"Not much. The neighbours confirmed he had one, but it wasn't there when we arrived… I gotta get some air. Make yourself at home. I'll be outside if you need me."
And with that Ben left them.
Together Hank and Serena looked at the writing over the corpse.
"I AM ALIVE!", read Serena loud.
"Each letter is perfect… It’s way too neat, no human writes like this.", noted Hank before he turned to Chris. "Chris, was this written in the victim's blood?"
"I would say so… We’re taking samples for analysis."
Serena nodded and looked around.
That's when she saw Connor kneeling before the spilt blood of the victim, putting his fingers in it and licking it!
"Connor?!", she shouted and fought a blush. No, it was not kind of hot seeing his tongue lick his finger! "What are you doing?!"
" I'm analyzing the blood. I can check samples in real-time.", explained the Android. "I'm sorry, I should have warned you."
Hank who had seen also all this and seemed ready to puke told him: " Ok, just… don't… put any more evidence in your mouth, you got it?"
"Got it."
"Fucking hell, I can't believe this shit…can you?", grumbled Hank to Serena.
She adjusted her glasses.
"CyberLife has...erm... interesting ideas."
"Bunch of robot fuckers, I tell you!"
"Hank, now, come on."
They turned back to the victim, and Connor joined them.
"He was stabbed 28 times.", informed Connor.
"So many stab wounds indicate something personal, we can exclude a robbery.", shared Serena.
"Yeah, seems like the killer really had it in for him.", added Hank.
They looked around and found Red Ice, one of the newer and popular drugs.
Hank told Chris he wanted a full analysis of the narcotics.
The unlikely trio walked towards the backdoor, Connor opening it.
"The Door was locked from the inside. The Killer must have gone out this way.", hypnotized Serena.
Connor disagreed. "There are no footprints, apart from Officer Collins' size 10 shoes."
"Well, this happened weeks ago.", reminded Hank. "Tracks could've faded."
"No, this type of soil would've retained a trace. Nobody's been out here for a long time."
Hank moved back into the Living Room, Connor looked around the kitchen and Serena chose to investigate the bathroom.
What she saw after she pulled the curtain from the shower, made her shudder.
Ra9 writing everywhere, a little clay statue with flowers around it.
"It looks like an altar.", she murmurs.
"LT. Di Martino?", called Connor for her and stepped beside her. His eyes scanned the altar in the shower. "Ra9?"
"Do you have something in your Database about this?"
Connor shook his head.
"No, but I think I know what happened."
"Let's go to Hank then and you tell us."
After they joined Hank back in the Living Room Connor explained what had happened.
It all started in the kitchen.
Hank and Serena agreed with him. There were signs of struggle.
The victim attacked the android with the bat.
Yes, this fits with the evidence they found.
"The android stabbed the victim.", continues Connor.
"Self-Defense?", said Serena with crossed arms.
She never heard an Android could act on it.
"Okay, then what happened?", wanted Hank to know.
"The victim fled to the living room."
Hank continued: "And he tried to get away from the android… All right, that makes sense…"
"The android murdered the victim with the knife."
"Ok, your theory's not totally ridiculous.", admitted Hank. "But it doesn’t tell us where the android went."
"It was damaged by the bat… and lost some Thirium…"
"Lost somewhat?"
"Thirium also known as Blue Blood, it's what makes the Androids work. Even I know that Hank."
"Sorry, that I'm not an expert on tin cans, 'Rena!"
"Anyway!", called Connor in between. "It evaporates after a few hours and becomes invisible to the naked eye."
Serena and Hank looked at Connor grinning.
"Oh… But I bet you can still see it, can't you?", guessed Hank.
"Correct."
"Lead, the way then Connor.", said Serena.
The two human detectives follow after the android, who looks at the Thirium trail, till he reaches the opening to the attic.
Connor, under Hank and Serena wondering looks, takes a chair and proclaims he will check the attic out.
The Android enter it and leaves the two LTs. waiting.
"Think he will find something?", asked Serena.
"Well, he wasn't wrong, but why should the Android still be here?", answered Hank with a question.
"It's not like this Deviants act normal, Hank."
"Touchè, Di Martino."
Suddenly Connor called loudly for them.
He found the Deviant!
Surprised Hank calls for the others.
Well, seemed like CyberLife android detectiv really held what he promised.
