Pretty Songbird || Aleksander M.
A/N: I watched snakes and songbirds and had this ideas stuck in my head ever since i saw it last week, idk if it's gonna be a series, if you have any ideas pls tell me!!
WC: 1311
Warning: Fem!Reader, the moon summoner trope, not proof read so i take credit for mispelling or mistakes..
Alina sighed as herself and Mal walked into a busy club to get away from their pursuers.
“It should be too crowded to notice us in this crowd, just keep the hood on.” Mal whispered to Alina as they moved closer to the stage where others stood, waiting for the performer.
“Want something?”
Alina turned and nodded as Mal gave a quick nod before walking to the bartender.
As alina went to stand near a corner of the crowded club she bumped into another young girl. “Aww, sorry..” “Ah, i’m sorry.” They both apologized to one another.
“It’s alright, just a throbbing but it’ll go away with a drink.” The girl brushed it off and gave alina a smile.
“You look familiar..” Alina felt her heart drop, as the expression the girl made was of realization. “You’re her aren’t you?” Alina tensed up and lifted her hand in case she need to summon to stop the girl from doing something.
“It’s alright, your safe here, i just recommend the further booth over there if you don’t want to draw attention..” Alina followed the girls direction and saw an empty booth and nodded at her. “Thank you..?” She waited for a name.
“Y/n, i’m a performer here tonight.” She smiled and pointed towards the stage were drunks and many excited people stood waiting.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
People whispered to one another as they noticed the brooding, darkling who was accompanied with other grisha, they all had looks of distaste on their faces as they scanned the club.
Alesksander’s attention jumped as two women in front of him talked about the performer.
“Is it true she can summon?”
“Rumors say she can but was sick during her testing and got dismissed.”
Before any of them could provide aleksander with information, a young woman, dressed in a loose blouse and what looked like the first army pants.
“Based on all the chatter I could hear from back there, I assume it’s about myself?” You grinned as you scanned the crowd.
A mixed of positive responses came from the busy club.
Aleksander noticed how each of his grisha searched the crowd.
“Aww stop it, i’m blushing!” You playfully waved to the crowd before turning to the band who waited for your sign to play.
As the band started up, you danced around the stage a bit.
“So if you don’t know, i wrote this many, many, many years ago when i was stuck as a showstopper for tow men on each side of the fold, one more then the other..” You referenced to your pants before raising an eyebrow.
Aleksander wasn’t surprised, zlatan of course wouldn’t share a summoner with anyone, especially the king and aleksander.
“Can’t take my charm,
Can’t take my humor,
Can’t take my wealth, cause it’s just a rumor.
Nothing you can take was ever with keeping.
No nothing you can take was every worthing keeping.”
As alina listened to your singing she glanced around the room and froze as she spotted aleksander and the other grisha in the club.
Alina subtly nudged mal who popped up and ushered alina through the crowd to leave quickly.
As you took a breath, you felt yourself stop for a moment, as you took note of the dark eyes of the darkling.
“Thinking you’re so fine,
Thinking you could have mine.
Thinking in control, thinking you can change me, maybe rearrange me.
Think again if that’s your goal.”
You stomped your boots at each sentence, making the crowd cheer.
Through the small break of your singing, you held strong eye contact with the darkling, from what zlatan had told you, he was saving you from the general who had “tossed your abilities aside” those were the only words you believed from the first general, you had tried to get test when you were a teen but got reject when you said you could summon.
“Can’t take my sass,
Can’t take my talking.
You can kiss my ass,
Then keep on walking!
Nothing you can take was ever worth keeping,
Oh, nothing you can take was ever worth keeping.” You stared him down while continuing to sing.
Zoya scoffed as she followed your and aleksander’s gaze to one another.
Aleksander looked away from you to look at the sour expression on her face.
“She’s insulting you to your face..”
“I know..” He responded, his eyes moving back onto you which your eyes were closed as you finished the song.
“Nothing you can take from is worth dirt,
Take it cause i’d give it free, it won’t hurt.
Nothing you can take was ever worth keeping..”
As you finished the crowd cheered making you grin and gave a bow before walking to your bandmate and motioned for behind the stage before exiting, they band continued to play as you left.
Aleksander hadn’t noticed zoya rambling on how disrespectful you were, he piped up as you left the stage. “I’ll be back.” He told zoya before walking outside the club.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
You quietly exited from the building and leaned against the building.
You were now screwed, after many blissful years away from zlatan and kirigan it had to come crashing down.
Being upset you got up and kicked the tins in the back alley of the club.
“That was quite the show..” You jumped at the general’s voice.
“General kirigan..” You greeted, walking to pick up the fallen over tins.
“You worked under zlatan?” He questioned, making you chuckle.
“What made it obvious? My clothes or the song?” You asked, putting the lid back on before turning to his figure.
“He rarely sent letters to the palace grounds to let us know of anything.”
You scoffed, knowing where he was trying to lead the conversation.
“Bullshit, don’t play like you never knew about me, I stood in front of grisha testers and was denied a retest because of my ability, each test is shown in front of you, in your lap to see the newest grisha!” You walked closer to him as you went on.
“Nice try to play that card but the only words I ever believed from zlatan was that you tossed me aside.” You brushed past the darkling and went to enter the club again but was stopped by him grabbing your wrist in a tight grasp and pulling you back to face him.
“You could train in the little palace with others, be with your own kind.” He tried to convince you.
“You missed that train where I wanted to fit in with others badly, I will not be trained to replace your little sun summoner.” You ripped your wrist form his grasp and walked back into the club.
Aleksander stood by himself in the alley, shocked you had decline his offer.
After he collected himself he walked into the club to collect his grisha.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Weeks had passed since the incident at the club.
Aleksander hadn’t been expecting a meeting with the king, he was confused at the sudden arrangement.
“Tsar.” Aleksander greeted as he entered his war room.
“General.” King Pyotr greeted, letting aleksander step in further before continuing.
“Is there a reason you called upon me?” Aleksander questioned.
“When you were visiting ryevost, did you happened to see this girl?” The king unfolded a drawing of the singer he had a conversation with weeks ago.
“She’s rumored to be a moon summoner, if anything, everyone’s after her. And i believe she’ll do good here in the little palace under your control.” He continued, aleksander studied the poster.
“I’ll send grisha to find her…” The king smiled and nodded in aleksander’s direction before getting up and leaving.
Once gone, aleksander picked up the paper to admire your beauty.
“I’ll find you, songbird..” He muttered as he read over the paper.

Markus gets the call early in the morning. He's spent over 78 hours working on refining the Android Rights bills so it takes him a while to process what Connor is telling him but (when it finally clicks) he practically vaults over his desk and trips out of his room. He scares the ever loving crap out of Matthew who was trying to administer Carl's meds, and apologizes profusely for intruding.
"Dad do you still have Mr. Siddiq's number?" The RK200 asks as he straightens his clothes. He looks a mess.
"It's one of my emergency numbers. I keep it on speed dial on my smartphone." Carl is amused by Markus's odd question, making sure to pat Matthew's arm reassuringly when the AP700 starts looking like an angry bird with ruffled feathers. He took his job as a caretaker very seriously and disliked sudden interruptions in his care schedule. "Why?"
"You're not going to believe this..." Markus mutters as he looks down at his feet.
"Try me."
---
Carl, it turns out, isn't that easy to surprise and takes the news in good stride. The others are the ones who cannot believe their eyes when they all drive downtown and lay eyes on
"Is... Is that a fucking T-rex?!" North's eyes are wide, while Josh looks like he's about to have some sort of stroke. Simon on the other hand looks like he's having a blast.
"I had almost forgotten the museum bought dinosaur android replicas for the prehistoric exibits!" The PL600 practically bounced in excitement as he watched the T-rex walk around, sniffing it's environment while the police kept it corraled with squad cars.
On the other side of the street Connor was helping lieutenant Anderson interrogate the museum owner.
The four leaders exchanged looks before walking over.
"I swear, it was all fine this morning, then Rex just..." The middle aged man flailed as he tried to find the right words "Bolted..."
"No signs of trouble from the other models?" The RK800 inquired further.
"None whatsoever." The man insisted.
Hank pinched the bridge of his nose and groaned. He turned to look at the massive android dinosaur and shook his head in disbelief.
"At least it's not going around rampaging around town... We don't need a Jurassic Park reenactment."
"I doubt it would feel the need to do so lieutenant." Connor looked over as well "Most causes of aggression in newly deviated androids is due to abuse and emotional trauma, the signs of which are not at all present in this TRX1's general demeanor."
"I'd say he looks pretty happy." Simon added as the four joined the three men.
"Thank you for coming on such short notice, as you can see this is a... Rather strange case." Connor smiled sheepishly, looking somewhat apologetic towards Markus who looked a little out of it.
"We'd never mistreat Rex. He's practically the museum's crown jewel!" The owner exclaimed "Everyone loves him, especially the children."
"We can tell. He's very docile for uh, a T-rex..." Josh watched as the massive animal decided to lay down in the middle of the road, rumbling contentedly at its newfound freedom.
"Which is why I need help... He's a very good boy he is, so it'd feel cruel to coop him up inside in his old enclosure..." The owner frowned sadly.
Which was why Markus had preemptively asked for Mr. Siddiq's number. If anyone could properly house a deviant t-rex it was certainly him.
---
"I can't believe we're doing this..." North grumbled as the four leaders of Jericho chaperoned an android dinosaur through the city, much to the awe of several onlookers in the streets.
"Asad Siddiq's android animal sanctuary is located outside of city limits and we can't exactly ride the subway with a dinosaur." Markus sighed miserably as Rex lowered his head to nibble on the back of his coat. The large beast chirped affectionately as it lifted the coat up and over the RK200's head. "Why are you so upset about this anyway? I thought you of all people would love to get up close and personal with the tyrant king lizard."
"Tyrannosaurus Rex is overated." North shrugged "Carnos are waaay cooler."
"Carnos are only cool because of the horns. Allosaurus is a lot more impressive." Josh pointed out. "There's a fossil with a healed over broken jaw. Proof of it's adaptability, intelligence and survival tactics."
"You're both wrong. Look up the titanoboa. They ate Tyrannosaurus, Carnosaurus and Allosaurus for breakfast, lunch and dinner." Simon smirked.
"We get it Simon, if you could you'd live your life as a snake." North snorted.
"RA9 I wish..."
Markus sighed as the three bickered over which prehistoric animal was the best.
Rex licked the back of his head nearly making him fall over.
---
"This isn't my first dino rodeo if you'd believe it." Asad smiled as he ran a hand over the t-rex's massive snout.
Rex practically purred as it got a lot of attention from the elderly man and the YK500 sitting on top of its head.
"He's so big and pretty! He'll get along well with the others, won't he papa?" Bo giggled from atop the mighty android.
"You have a dinosaur dome?" Josh asked in disbelief.
"Indeed. I have gotten calls from several different locations that own all kinds of animal androids. The abuse cases are the worst, but mostly it's just establishments that find deviants too unpredictable to know what to do with them." Asad explained "The dinosaurs I have are from an amusement park. They're all a delight, especially the raptors. They enjoy solving puzzles and going through elaborate maze structures."
"Do you have any titanoboas?" Simon asked hopefully. He'd very greatly enjoy watching one in action.
"Sadly no. The only pair in Detroit was property of the museum and they were reported stolen two years ago..." Asad replied, frowning slightly. "I do wonder what ever happened to them..."
"So uh... What other dinosaurs do you have then?" North kicked a pebble out of the way, feigning lack of interest.
"Well we have a male Carnotaurus named El Diablo. He's a lovely shade of blood red and mahogany." Asad smiled.
"Do you have any Allosaurus?" Josh added.
"A whole group."
"Let us see! Please please please?" North and Josh looked over the moon with the thought of seeing their favorite dinos.
"Certainly! This way to the dome."
Markus watched Mr. Siddiq, North, Josh, Bo and Rex walk off while Simon sulked ever so slightly besides him.
"Aww... I wish there were titanoboas..."
"Simon, you practically own a Jurassic terror already... Your python is terrifying." The RK200 shuddered at the thought of those beady red eyes glaring at him.
"Oh he's not. He's a very sweet snake once you get to know him." Simon shook his head in disagreement and crossed his arms.
Markus considered this before shaking his head. Between the ornery and possessive albino reticulated python and a group of massive dinosaur androids, he'd rather take his chances with the less aggressive dinos.
