Connors (Stern Siblings) 🥇🥈🥉✨

DBH Role Reversal Au, Detective Stern (Connor), Lieutenant Stern (Richard/Nines), Conrad (Six) and Hank (HK800)

I wanted Connor to have tension with Nines because they lost their brother Conrad, where Connor was saved over Conrad (his identical twin) because an Android paramedic prioritized Connor's status as a police officer over Conrad (who was studying to be a teacher). If it was a human, they wouldn't have been able to distinguish between the two and possibly even tried to save both.

Nines joins the police academy soon after which causes problems with Connor, but he does it to look after Connor as he doesn't want to lose another sibling. Connor who was supposed to be promoted as the youngest lieutenant in Detroit has to see his younger and better brother get it instead.

I've always found this article about the in-world phenomenon of "command-led communication" super interesting:

It's described as a verbal occurrence, but I've noticed it manifest nonverbally too in a couple scenes, which has increased my interest tenfold. The two I've found so far happen during the Nest chapter, and the Stratford Tower chapter.

When Hank cuts in front of Connor, there's no "excuse me" or attempt to walk around him first; he simply turns and starts moving with the expectation that Connor will step back and let Hank through.

Here, Markus really has to step back. Not just to avoid being bumped into by the NPC, but also to keep from getting whacked in the face by the door. He pushes by Markus with no hesitation.

If anyone else finds more, I'd love to hear about them!!

The proposal

In my fantasies, the first one to propose is always Connor. I imagine it as something really sudden in a quiet home environment, just because Connor suddenly thought that Hank would like a ring on his finger, because for humans a wedding is something significant. Of course, Hank would be happy to live with Connor without an official marriage, simply because androids would probably have different customs and traditions, but Connor would still want to make Hank his official husband. This is a kind of gesture of love.

Getting Hurt While Protecting Them (Deviant Edition)

Request:No

Warning:Burns, Zlatko’s Death, injuries, blood,cursing

Characters:Kara,Alice,Marcus, Connor

A/N:This is the deviant version of a post I did a while ago which is linked here

Deviant Kara + Alice

You came with Kara and Alice to Zlatko’s house where you met Luther and Zlatko, after the mans true intentions were revealed and you tried to keep Kara from losing her memories,but Luther was instructed to take you away and he did so. After freeing yourself with the help of other androids in the basement you made your way to where Kara was having her memories erased. As you were trying to figure out what to do, Zlatko found you and the two of you bagn to fight. You had thrown a water body between the two of you to distract him and gotten wet in the process, when he grabbed on of the snapped wires, which allowed Kara to fall to the ground and retain her memories, you sustained a nasty burn. You powered through it despite the shock in your body and knocked him out with a near by pipe before grabbing Kara.

“Are you okay?” She asked as you pulled her up.

“We can check later, we need to find Alice.”

After doging both Zlatko and Luther you both managed to find Alice and in a remarkable turn of events Luther swapped sides and rose up with the experiments in the basement to kill Zlatko.When the four of you finally got a chance to settle down in an abandoned amusement park, Kara checks Alice and then goes straight to you.

“You are hurt, did Zlatko do this?” She questions, the caoncern is evident in her face.

“Yes and no, I was dumb and threw a bottle of water in a room full of electrical appliances,so he took his shot,” 

She pauses searching for the right words to say before running water over it it and wrapping it up to the best of her abilities.

“Thank you…you saved Alice.”

“No, I saved my family.”

Deviant Marcus

Marcus didn’t make a habit out of trusting humans, but you had helped pull him from the android graveyard and help piece hisself back together again with your own two hands and he knew he could trust you.He knew that at anyone you would put your life on the line for the safety of another androids whether they had deviated or not, and you had in the past, not to mention you treated his goal almost as seriously as he did.

The incident happened when you joined him for a hesit of thirium and biocompenents, he had been shot in a vital component during a chase. You took his arm over your shoulder and helped him escape, but in the process of fleeing over a gate you were bit in the thigh, your jean shorts soaked in your own blood the wound seeping blood the entire journey back to Jericho. It was here, after he assessed the other adriods and you finished helping others replace their components, that he noticed you were wounded.He places a hand on the wound, his eye scanning it with a look of concern.

“Why didn’t you get that taken care of?”

“Others needed their components replaced,” You respond shrugging as he removes his hand, the artificial skin covered in an alarming amount of your blood, “I didn’t sit down until just now, so I never got to it.”

The moment you finish speaking, he hoists you up on a broken interface and takes a closer look. After inspecting it, he cleans the wound and bandages it up, all the while he is telling you how human and stupid it was.

“You’re not even listening are you?”

“Half-way, that’s gotta count for something,” You smirk as he looks up at you.

“Why didn’t you just leave me there?” His eyes narrow as he asks you the question, as if expecting something different than what you say.

“Well,” You sigh dramatically, “Jericho just wouldn’t be the same without Markus, the big, bed, fearless android leader, now would it?” You tease, nudging his shoulders as you slide down and off the interface.

You only chuckles a little and shakes his head.

Deviant Connor

Hank wasn’t answering his phone and everywhere you and Connor turned androids,devaint or not, were being executed in droves. No where was safe until you and Connor stumbled across an android named Markus who gave Connor a single mission: to collect soldiers for the andriod army. You refused to leave Connors side as he carried out said mission and he had no choice but to let you. An android entering a human made it much less suspicious anyways, and it worked up until the second model of Connor approached. You could always tell the real Connor, for the longest time he didn’t believe he had a lick of human emotion or deviancy in him until it was nearly forced out of him.

You watched in anticipation and fear as Hank had the gun trained on you, then Connor, then Fake Connor. He wouldn’t let you move an inch, assuming you were a replica to,as he questioned the two androids. You didn’t think twice when you stopped infront of your Connor when you heard the gunshot.You didn’t even stop to look where the bullet when when Hank shot the right Connor as you turned around and gave Connor a once over, looking for any kind of injury that would indicate he was damaged. 

It wasn’t over yet, with all the commotion and the trouble in the elevator before hand the three of you had to move fast. And move you did, you made it to the frontlines with Markus and had the honour of standing beside him as you watched history unfold infront of your eyes. Overtime, Connor had developed a habit of observing his surroundings visibly but now he is dead still and his hand gun equiped is steadily rising. You gently hold the gun in your hands and call his name, your voice prying him from Amamnda’s grip. The alarm of nearly killing you sets in, and as he looks to where you have the fun pointed his LED flashes red. Your shirt is covered in blood, with the adreanline of a possible Civil War on your hands you hadn’t noticed that you had been running around with a bullet embedded in your side.

The moment the standoff had ended, Connor rushed you to the hospital where you were taken care of. He sat on the bed next to you, his LED pensively blinking as he stared at the ground, before he finally spoke, clearly still trying to wrap his processors around what had happened in the past 48 hours.

“You let him shoot you…”

“Yes, that is correct.”

“Why?” When he asks this, he turns to face you his eyes scanning your face for any signs of unwell mental stability but he finds none. You’re heart rate is normal, your respiratory rate is pristine, no signs of PTSD or early truama, yet you’re lying in a hospital bed with a hole in your side.

“Because I didn’t want you to die, Connor.”

“He was aiming for a non-vital component in my body, I had a 96% survival rate even if he shot me.”

“I didn’t like that 4%.”

“Oh…thank you.”

“You can thank me with a kiss,”

Hank walks in the room hears this and laughs talking about how someone owed him 50 bucks and a bottle of booze.As the two of you share a gentle kiss.

Hank and Connor are just really fun as a father son duo. Their chemistry and line delivery are just peak comedy to me and it's just fun to see them interact. They make me smile every time they're on screen and they're hug at the end made the stress of the game worth it. But their tragedies and them over coming it, is what make them interesting, an old man that lost his child and an android determined to be his own downfall, the two of them help each other see more than what they've known. One teaches the other of freedom and choice while the other learns to love and care again.

Maybe some people think that Hank is replacing Cole as a son but I view it as he can care for another person again to be up for parenting once more to heal the wounds that his first borns death created. Something Bruce Wayne and Tim Drake esque after Jason Todd's death. Hank begrudgingly softens for Connor and quickly learns that he'd do almost anything for his surrogate son. While Connor learns about the grey of the world and has the freedom to not like it or be part of it, and he has Hank to help him figure out this big world that he knows so much yet so little about that he now gets to experience.

Parent-child relationships are very dear to me. There's this certain softness that parents have for their kids and children have this want to please their parents whether it be grades or actions. Hank and Connor have the foundation for this dynamic at the end of the game that we see seep in by the time of Stratford tower. Their story isn't over it's only begun.

[dbh-rambling]

I’ve already written about the Kamski Test in another post, but this is one of those subjects where different parts of it jump out more as you go, so here’s more. 

Today’s rambling: Kamski and Hank have no idea what they’re doing but they act like they do, and they don’t stop to consider that they don’t.

Does anyone remember the part at the Eden Club where Connor has no easy way to test for deviancy on the spot? How there’s no flag that anyone can bring up on a debugger and go ‘Aha, a deviant!’, there’s no concrete answer. Despite this, Hank and Kamski both act like this Kamski Test is miraculously capable of doing that, even though the test basically says ‘Quick, Connor, let’s blackmail you into shooting this girl and then form opinions about your worth as a person over it!’

Anyway, they buy into it. If Connor doesn’t shoot, then Kamski is thrilled, and he waves the words empathy and deviancy around with relish. Hank hurries Connor out protectively in front of him, and when they talk outside his tone is notably speculative and pleased.

If Connor shoots, Kamski’s tone switches hard from enthralled to disappointed, and he declares Connor to have shown no empathy. Hank, meanwhile, is furious. Chloe showed no emotions except pretty smiling and Connor visibly struggles during the test, but Hank’s focus is entirely on reeling over Chloe’s death and accusing Connor of being a machine.

Hank actually holds on to this test even on into the next Chapter, where he can bring it up after they talk with Fowler. Hank will follow the steps of the Kamski test, looking at Connor’s actions, and evaluating them for their empathy.

(If Connor didn’t shoot Chloe) Hank: When you refused to kill that android at Kamski's place... You put yourself in her shoes. You showed empathy, Connor. 

(If Connor saved Hank from falling) Hank: When I was hanging off the roof, back at the urban farm, you let that deviant go in order to help me. You put my life above the mission. You showed empathy, Connor. 

(If Connor protected Hank from shooting) Hank: Back at Stratford Tower, when that android was shooting at anything that moved... You protected me... You... Risked your life to save mine. That showed empathy, Connor.

No one stops to question whether or not Connor wants to participate. Kamski came up with a test, they accept between themselves that it’s valid, and that’s the end of it. While Hank does tell Connor not to complete the test when it gets to the part that involves shooting the Nice Girl, Connor had already been showing stress and trying to divert things before this point, and Hank doesn’t actually intervene on either android’s behalf.

TL;DR: the humans in the room decide to give their android a half-assed five minute test for sentience, and then both completely buy into their own speculation.

thinking of an idea where doc builds robots, and hank is his android

[bunshr00m]

can't stop thinking about this one fic i read where hank called connor's LED a blinker and how incredibly canon it seemed. now when i read a fic and he calls it an LED or a light-thingy my mind just automatically replaces it with the word blinker
