The New V PT1

💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛

Uzi finds herself missing V. Wishing she would come back. But be careful of what you wish for! (Post episode 7, Uzi isn't in space anymore, sorry about that.)

Step. Step. Step.

"V! Are you in here?" The light illuminated the pod. Hot pink, digital eyes darted from side to side, taking only a quick glance at the darkness which enveloped the area. "Lizzy who's the friend you're looking for again?" Thad asked curiously. He had heard about this 'friend' for a few hours, the one letter name made her sound like a Disassembly Drone like Uzi's friend.

"V. I brought her to prom a few months ago you dumbass," Lizzy reminded him, "short silver hair, addicted to murder, that sort of girl"

"I really don't think she's here. Don't you think it's time to..."

"Wait shut up, shut up, I hear something outside!" Lizzy bolted outside to see another worker drone she didn't recognise. A question mark was displayed on her screen."Oh, hey Zi!" Thad smiled and waved, sprinting to the purple-haired drone and raising his hand for a high-five. Uzi did nothing, a stoic expression on her screen before she seemed to snap out of it, awkwardly smiling.

"Hi, Thad... Lizzy" she greeted hoarsely.

"Where's V?" The tallest of the drones questioned Uzi before adding on "We've been looking all over the place for her and she isn't responding to my texts!" Her tone was worried, something the both had never seen from her frequently.

"She..." Uzi began, but her voice box stopped. She began whimpering and shaking, barely being able to stand on her two feet.

"Uzi...?" Thad slowly put his hand on his friend's shoulder, but she stepped back and whimpered, as if it were revoking a memory

Trudging through the thick snow that blanketed the ground with his arm carefully around her shoulders to help stabilise her, Thad was walking with Uzi, hearing taps and clicks from Lizzy, who was frantically texting as fast as her metal fingers could go.

"Uzi... do you wanna tell us what's wrong?" Thad inquired for what felt like the hundredth time. He usually wasn't one to pry into people's businesses, but this was his friend.

"No! Bite me!" She hissed, looking the other direction but not moving away.

Truth be told; the drone she was refusing to talk about always wrapped her arm around Uzi that way when she felt the need to protect her. It was nice to feel that again. Even in a platonic sense like it was when Thad did it.

"Fine then." He huffed, giving up on getting anything out of her yet. "We're here by the way." He said, letting go of her, looking up at a metal door that read: 'DOORMAN'

"Uzi... your friends are here... if you could come out that'd be-"

"BITE ME! I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!"

Soft whimpers could be heard from the room directly afterwards.It seemed like she had been isolating herself in her room more often after camp. Hiding behind doors.

Ironic how now the only thing Khan wanted was to get rid of the wretched thing.

He peeked through the hinges, purple light spilling through the gaps. Papers no longer scattered on the floors like how they used to be.

"Uzi, I know how it-"

Khan suddenly felt the ground shake a bit, he stumbled backwards.The door had swung open, surprisingly not detaching from the wall.

"NO! NO YOU WOULDN'T! HAVE YOU BEEN PROMISED THAT YOU'D BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY BE WITH THE PERSON YOU COULDN'T HAVE BEEN WITH ONCE 'THIS IS ALL OVER'?!" Pause. Uzi was trying to catch her breath, flinching when he slowly put his hand on her shoulder, then taking it off and sitting on the cold and hard floor.

Khan's mind was racing. His white eyes softening as he processed each and every word his daughter had spoken, not daring to look up.

"Yes. Yes I would have an idea of what you're going through. With your mother."

Khan was shivering, not from the non-existent cold air surrounding them, rather the memory haunting him of when Nori had repeatedly told him the same thing.

"She'd always say that once she could control her Solver abilities completely... we could be a normal family.

"Khan chuckled a little bit, reminiscing of some days, he'd wake up and get terrified of that one day he'd need to face reality that it couldn't work out. And how Nori would stay up with him, stay optimistic. She whole-heartedly believed she would fix her Solver before it got to that point. Or atleast, that's what she told him.

His hands were on his forehead, elbows on his knees and his head faced down, not wanting to remember those times knowing the outcome that they both hoped for never came to be."Dad..." Uzi began, but didn't finish.

"I-If you just want to have space or alone time or anything then, well, I'm happy to give it." Khan smiled, wanting to make thing right for his previous wrongdoings by giving Uzi the peace and quiet he wished people gave him when he had to put Nori down.It wasn't nearly enough to fix his neglect for her well-being all these years, but it was a start. He would start to fix things.

As he was about to stand up, a force shoved him back slightly.It was a hug. Given by Uzi. He had forgotten how this felt. "If it's okay with you, we can grieve together...?" She suggested, virtual tears on her violet eyes.A silence so loud rang. But it was an awkward silence.

"More than okay." Khan simply said, returning the embrace.A knock on the door was heard. Uzi let go of her father. He got up and went to the door, leaving Uzi with her emotions.Her anguish over V's death will likely stay for however long it wants. But at least she has somebody to relate with, somebody who constantly could be near her, somebody who-

"Uzi...?" Khan sounded worried. She looked over to see J at the door.

"It's V." J whispered.

"Uzi slow down!" Khan huffed, following Uzi, who was already ahead of J. The snow crunching below her boots.Coming to a halt, ice on her clothes, her body froze as she saw the last drone she'd ever think to see again.

"Uzi...?"

"V?!"
