Barbaric realms

"Shai, are you in here?" Eurus asked

Eurus looked into the room, seeing that she wasn't there Eurus walked into the room with a tray of food, closing the door behind him with his foot, he saw that the room wasn't as bad as he thought,

"I feel like her butler,"

He set the food on the bed and went to walk out of the room, but he stopped hearing weeping coming from the bathroom, Eurus looked at the door, she sounded as I'd she had someone die. Eurus felthis heart ache and let out,

"Poor girl. Just fell into this godforsaken world with no family, friends, or allies," Eurus said

"But we are here,"

Claire appeared behind him, and Eurus flinched, turning to her, he glares at her,

"Don't do that!"

Eurus, frustrated, looked back to the bathroom, while Claire let out a fit of giggles but stopped when hearing the water tune off. Eurus went to the door and knocked,

"I just came to give you some food. It's on your bed, but if you need anything, I'm here. I know you don't trust us just yet, I don't know what you are feeling right now,"

Eurus glanced at Claire. She was giving him a thumps up and motioning him to continue,

"You may feel alone, but you have me, my aunt, and Claire,"

Eurus listened for her, but he didn't hear anything,

"I will be out in the living..."

Eurus stopped when the door opened, and Shai pulled him into a hug. He stood still, frozen. Not knowing what to do until he caved in hugging her back, Shai started to sob in his shoulder, and Eurus felt her full weight on him,

"She's so light," Eurus thought,

He moved them to the bed and sits her down next to him, Shai ripped away the tears with her sleeve and looked up at Eurus,

"Here's your food. You need to eat," Eurus said

Eurus passed her the food, and she quietly thanked him. She started to eat, and Eurus moved his gaze from her,

"Claire!" Eurus yelled

Claire appeared in front of them, scaring Shai in the process and staring at Claire. She waved at Shai, giving her a soft smile, and asked,

"Yes, little Eurus,"

"What kind of stuff did Auntie tell her?" Eurus asked

"Give me a moment," Claire told him

Looking through her databases and then looking down, she leaned down and whispered it into his ear, Eurus let out a frustrated sigh. She could have waited to tell Shai but didn't, Eurus looked to Claire and said

"Thanks, Claire,"

"Don't thank me for telling you, little Eurus, now is there anything else?" Claire said

Eurus glanced at Shai, seeing her finished eating and wandering what to do until a thought came to mind,

"Do we have a television in here?" Eurus said

"There isn't. I'm sorry, but if you can get her into the living room, I can put whatever you want on," Claire explained

"What do you mean to carry her?" Eurus said

Eurus felt something hit his shoulder seeing Shai fall onto him asleep. He turned back to Claire, seeing her grining at him,

"Good luck, little Eurus," Claire said

Claire disappeared from him, and Eurus let out a huff,

"Claire,"

Eurus shakes his head, wrapping his arm around Shai's back. He bent down and moves his arm under her legs, picking her up, he glanced down at her,

"She seems to be fine," Eurus let out

He walked out of the room with Shai and went into the living room seeing that the television truned on, with an anime playing seemed to be a pirate one. Eurus grins at this, looking at Claire,

"This should be to your liking little Eurus," Claire said

"Thanks, Claire,"

Eurus set Shai on the couch and picked up the blanket that was on the couch covering her with it. He sat in a chair not far from the couch, near Shai. Eurus looked at the television when he remembered something from this morning.

"Where's Auntie?" Eurus asked

Claire would have stiffened if she had been able to, She knew Eurus wouldn't like what she had to say. Euru waited for her to answer, and she did,

"She is in a meeting with a senator from Texas,"

"How long will she be this time," Eurus asked

"She will be back in two hours. If they don't make it longer," Claire said softly, trying not to wake up Shai

Claire saw Shai stirred in her slumber. She and Eurus stopped watching her turn away from them,

"Ok, is there anything happening in the news that i need to know?" Eurus asked

"They're been word from the Senate of a plan that an AI is about a cyberattack that will turn off the power," Claire told him

Claire pulled up a video from a news outlet, and Eurus watched it. They spoke about the AI just like Judy has. Why couldn't they not do that? why couldn't they leave the AI to its main objective.

"That's not all is there?" Eurus asked

"Isn't there always more news, little Eurus," Claire said

"You haven't answered my question, Claire,"

"There have also been more released from the AI project. It seems the AI tried to hack into the Senate earlier this morning. Your aunt was called in afterward," Claire said

Eurus looked at her confused, it was able to hack into the government? Eurus sat back in his chair, saying,

"I wonder how she handles it,"

"Me too, little Eurus,"

Claire noticed that he started to fall asleep and she decided to leave him disappearing from him, he fell asleep on the chair, Claire moved through the house until she appeared behind Judy talking with the Senate,

"What do you mean by it was an accident. If he was hacking into our systems,"

Judy angrily let out, staring at them with in disbelief, they tried telling her it was in an accident, and Judy curled her hands into a fist as one of the other senator responses,

"It's fine now, Judy, there is nothing else we can do,"

"You are right. it's not something we can do, but i know who can Claire!" Judy yelled

Claire looked into the camera, seeing the Senate starting back at her. She looked down at Judy,

"Yes, mistress... I mean, senator," Claire spoke

"Claire, show them the new firewall we made," Judy told her

Claire pulled up the firewall for them, which Claire monitors it, and with Judy's system she placed in it, it would keep the Ai out, which helps make Claire.

"This is how we keep it out, when the firewall detects a foreign intruder it will attack it immediately, afterward, it will search the web to find who arranged the hack and then send me the information on it," Judy explained

Some of the senators looked at this with curiosity and appreciation, but she knew most stared at her with doubt, but Judy smiled through it all. It always seemed to make them more pissed.

"This is good, Judy. Thank you for your collaboration,"

Judy gave him a node and heard a senator from Virginia asking,

"What if the fire wall fails? there would be nothing to get in between the United States and the AI?"

"This was an emergency, I had to put this up very quickly, but for now, this is what we have," Judy told her

"What about the AI you have with you? Did she help to make it," the chairwoman asked

Claire felt their gaze on her. Claire saw the look in their eyes, they're trying not to show it, but she felt it. there afried of her. Claire felt ashamed at their judgemental stares just because of another AI. Judy noticed this, seeing them stare at Claire like that.

"Yes, she did, I couldn't have done it without her," Judy said,

"What happens if she turns against us, like the other one,"

The senator from Massachusetts cut in glaring at Claire, Judy looked back at Claire, she gave Judy a small smile, and Judy turned her attention to the senator,

"That is a possibility, but I created her without ill intention. I programmed her to have a motherly personality, and she won't turn into that. I can promise you that,"

Judy stared at the senator,almost daring her to say that again, but the chairwoman stopped her.

"If that is all meeting adjourned,"

The video hologram turned off one by one, leaving Judy and Claire alone, Claire looked at Judy. She felt justified in away and wanted to thank her, but something bothered her.

"Misstress,"

"Yeah?" Judy said

"Do you think I will turn into him?" Claire asked

Judy froze in her spot, looked at Claire, She never wanted her proudest project, her allie, her friend to feel this way, she may be an Ai but she has been there fir her, more then most.

"You will never turn into that. You are better than that. Don't let them get to you like that, ok?"

Claire felt her holographic lighten at what she said,

"Yes, mistress. Thank you," Claire said

Claire tried to huge her but phases through her, Judy let out a chuckle and walked out of the room, with Claire following her,

"Mistress, little Eurus is in the living room if you want to check on him,"

"How's Shai?"

Judy is curious about her. She must have been overwhelmed, but what she has seen, Claire looked away from her twords, the living room,

"She was asleep for a while, I would say three hours now. She should be in the living room as well,"

Judy went into the living room and looked over at them, smiling at the scene,

"It's only been a day or two," Judy said

Claire nodded behind her, Judy walked upstairs and got ready for bed,
