Chains

Ngl the fact I was able to finish writing about Uzi being chained up but struggle to complete a wholesome work of N and Uzi being the chaos crew (still in progress) says something about me, and I'm not sure if I want to know.

Inspired by

Every part of Uzi's body hurt, her arms and hands were sore from the heavy shackles keeping her from using the AbsoluteSolver, bands on her wings to keep her from flying, and her tail tied in a knot to prevent her from using it to break her chains. And a chain around her body violently squeezing her torso.

The cell she was in was cold, damp, and dark. Moisture had begun to condensate on her metallic skin and her eyes were the only source of light. She could barely move, barely breathe (even though robots don't really have to breathe), and every movement she made was painful.

She couldn't even remember how long she had been there. It felt like years, even though in reality it was probably only days, a week at most. The day started to blend, the only way she knew when one day ended and the other began was when one of the WDF members would come to give her, breakfast.

And today the drone who gave her her food, was her father (if she could even call him that anymore), Khan. He stood in front of the cage, holding a bowl of oil with a few worker parts floating in it, his eyes in a look of fear and worry and his hands slightly shaking.

"Dad... " Uzi growled baring a few sharp metal fangs.

Khan said nothing, all he did was kneel and slide the bowl through a small hole in the bottom of the cage. Uzi tried to crawl to get her meal, only to get held back by the chain around her body. Khan noticed his daughter struggling so he grabbed a nearby pipe and pushed the bowl closer toward Uzi, allowing her to reach it.

Uzi looked down at the oil, seeing her scowling reflection, and back up at Khan, who couldn't even make eye contact with her.

"Well," Uzi asked, "Aren't you gonna get back to your precious doors now?" She asked with an eye roll. This remark caused kHan to cringe a bit. Uzi and Khan looked at each other for a few seconds, before Khan turned around. Uzi took this as a sign of he was about to leave and started to lap the oil out of the bowl. She always forgot how hungry she was, but eating always revived her appetite. From the moment she swallowed her meal's first mouthful, her body cried out for more.

Uzi sat up to wipe her mouth and was slightly shocked to see that Khan was still there, just staring into the cold darkness that surrounded her cell. Uzi looked at Khan and quietly shouted "Hey!" Causing Khan to jump a bit and turn his head slightly. Uzi just scowled, before looking back at her meal and gulping down about three more mouthfuls of oil. Before looking back up at Khan, whose eyes were in shocked expression before quickly turned his head away.

Uzi simply rolled her eyes and shouted "What, you just gonna stare at me like a sideshow freak?" uzi asked with a hand roll at the end. However Khan did not respond, all he did was look at Uzi from the corner of his visor. Uzi just glared for a moment, before returning to the oil. The bowl was almost way empty, with just a small pool of oil ad a few metal scraps in the bottom. Uzi looked back up at Khan with a bit of a scowl, before licking up the last bit of her food. She licked some of the oil off her face and shackled hands, before kicking the bowl to a pile of similar bowls.

She looked up at Khan, expecting him to spit or call her a freak as some of the other drones had done, but he just watched her. With digital tears forming at the corners of his animated eyes. Uzi simply scoffed before turning her back and pulling her knees up to her chest. She was about to close her eyes and try to sleep when she heard a sound she thought she never would, the sound of her cell door being opened. Uzi's robot adrenaline levels spiked and her eyes widened in a mixture of excitement and confusion.

She turned her head to see Khan holding the keys to her cage, looking at her with fear in his eyes and the beginning of a proud smile. He walked inside the cage and kneeled next to Uzi. They both looked into each other's eyes for a few seconds, anger in Uzi's and regret in Khan's. Khan sighed and put his hand on Uzi's shoulder, causing Uzi to jump a little bit. That was the first time he had treated her like anything more than a disappointment.

Uzi was about to say something when she felt the pressure around her hands release. She looked down and saw the shackles around her hands were unlocked. Allowing her to move her fingers for what felt like the first time. She looked up at Khan, who was fiddling with the chains around her legs and torso. Uzi didn't know how to react. Her father, who was one of the reasons she was in these chains, to begin with, was freeing her. When Khan unlocked the chains around her body and legs Uzi almost immediately reached out and hugged Khan. Khan gasped a bit before returning to his senses and hugging Uzi back.

Khan and Uzi got out of their hug and looked each other in the eyes for a few seconds. Uzi could feel tears forming in the corners of her eyes, and she saw the same happening with her dad.

"Go, save your friend," Khan said.

Uzi was genuinely shocked. Her father had called N her friend, instead of "the murder drone". Uzi reached forward to quickly hug her dad one last time. Before getting up and running out of the cell, she was going to save N, she had to.
