Chapter 2: Tech and Maddie
Looking at the ring on his finger he couldnt help but smirk.
It was the predator killer suit but an enhanced version of it.
Instead of the massive gauntlet, it took the form of a ring that would encase his body in an armor of Titanium-A whenever he commanded it to with his mind.
The energy core was unlimited with it being powered by dozens of arc reactors the size of pebbles.
It was similar to the original predator-killer suit in design with multiple plasma casters each with independent targeting lasers along with a giant cannon on the shoulder.
He also had wrist blades along with stealth tech and helmet functions like thermal and such.
Of course that was for emergencies. His main carry was the lawgiver pistol from Dredd that was tucked within the side pocket of his suit.
As he was sipping his fresh coffee he heard the sound of light footsteps approaching the front door of his home from three stories down.
"I guess today is the day my first actions will be made." he took a glance at the towering walls that surrounded the city of LA and the occasional drone that could be seen flying around the LA bloc.
No matter how strong or how many races stood in his way, humanity would rise again. He wouldn't say he was a selfless man or even a good man but he did want to help others though more importantly, he wanted to feel the power of commanding an army strong enough to erase planets and conquer galaxies.
He wanted to build something truly great.
Finally, two sets of footsteps could be heard walking onto the roof.
John glanced over and saw the AI Drone 2B who he had named Sarah wearing her usual black stockings and dress though without the blindfold as he liked to see her blue eyes and she could put it on anytime during combat if needed.
Next to Sarah was another woman who was also wearing black stockings within black boots.
'What's up with these chicks and black stockings." Though he wasn't complaining.
The woman was also wearing a tight blue dress with a black waist belt with a golden buckle showing off her curvy and tight body.
"Sir, this lady is here for the assistant position you put in for," Sarah said while taking a small bow making the lady behind her look a little flustered
John shook his head with a small smile. At first, Sarah had called him Master and had even kneeled each time she talked to him, thank christ he had managed to convince her to call him sir and just bow after a few months of asking her which he already thought was too much.
"Perfect! Sarah, please get-" He stood up and gestured toward the lady
"Madeline but Maddie is fine." Maddie smiled and her red lips stood out showing off her beauty.
"What a beautiful name. Sarah, please get Maddie here a fresh cup of coffee." John smiled at Maddie before looking over to Sarah who took a small bow.
"It would be my pleasure," Sarah said with a smooth and beautiful voice before disappearing back into the house with a smooth grace.
"Oh no that's too expensive I wouldn't dare." Maddie shook her head while looking at him in surprise.
Coffee was worth its weight in gold now and this man was just handing it out casually.
"Please, I insist." He took a step forward and put a hand on the low part of Maddie's back before gesturing toward a chair.
"Please take a seat."
"My name is John but you probably already know that." John smiled while looking at Maddie who got her first glance at the towering walls and distant city from his rooftop.
"You got family in the bloc?" he asked while noticing the sadness in Maddie's eyes.
"A sister Katie, and my son Hudson. My husband passed during the arrival." Maddie said with a hard smile while looking at him.
"What about you? You live here alone?" Maddie said while looking around at the massive rooftop.
"No family, I was an orphan. It's just me and Sarah who live here."
"Sarah is she-?" Maddie asked slowly while leaving the question open.
"No no, haha. She's my maid, I took her in during the arrival, she was lost and needed help." He laughed and Maddie smiled in understanding.
"Ah, how very kind of you."
"Yes, well it's nice having the company." He smiled while giving her a cheeky up-and-down look.
"Haha," Maddie smirked before settling back into business mode.
"So what is it I'm doing here exactly?"
"Ah yes. I have a pretty large collection of famous art pieces along with ancient artifacts I need you to help document all of them down and package them safely within the crates.
"Sounds easy enough." Maddie smiled before they both looked at Sarah who had come with a full pot of coffee.
"A refill sir," Sarah said while topping off his cup.
"Thanks."
"Thanks."
They both took a sip of coffee at the same time and John thought he caught a small moan release from Maddie as she took a huge sip of coffee.
"Wow! I missed that." Maddie shook her head before taking another sip.
"Thank you so much." Maddie looked at him and smiled showing her genuine gratitude.
Eating the same thing every day was beyond depressing so even just tasting something new was a gift.
"No need to be so formal with me. I have some business to attend to, so Sarah here will show you the way."
"I'll get right on it." Maddie smiled while standing up
"And please if you need anything and I mean anything let me know and I'll see what I can do." He said.
Maddie stopped and hesitated before staying silent and walking off with Sarah who led her toward the second floor.
Watching both Maddie and Sarah walk away he couldnt help but notice the sway of both their hips as their dresses hugged their bodies.
"What a view." He smirked before standing up grabbing his sunglasses off of the table and putting them on.
They weren't normal sunglasses. They had an AI interface along with face scrambling meaning any cameras or host drones that saw his face would be confused as thousands of faces within the interface would be switching every second making his true identity hard to find.
As well as Cortana making his entire profile within the database appear to be entirely normal with nothing fishy going on.
