Chapter 50 - Artificial Intelligence

"Oh of course!" Micro shouted as she pulled her hair in frustration. "How could I not think Sombra of all people would have an AI?!"

"For a genius you really miss the obvious sometimes," Chara said. "She's your favorite character in Overwatch!"

The suit of armor (that Micro he planned to name Iron Watch) began tapping its foot.

"How do you know my creator's name?" She said. "And she is not a member of that pathetic group! They can't take down the real threats and didn't stick around to help with the aftermath of the Omnic crisis! Talon helped her when no one else-"

"Relajate chica," Micro said, switching to a Spanish accent. "We will explain. Though it might take a bit."

"Cut the fake accent and I'll consider listening."

Pouting, Micro reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone. She made sure that Sombra wasn't about to try hacking it before pulling up the Infiltration trailer. She showed it to the AI.

The only sign of reaction was the slight jerk back in shock that the suit had.

"You are from another universe," Micro said as the Sombra on screen hacked into the lift to chase the Russian scientist. "The hacking equipment you were stored in was one of many items I bought on a site called the Chaos Auction. I made this suit to help protect myself and my friends. I also have many different abilities on top of this."

To demonstrate, she switched back to his male form and changed clothes, once again shocking the AI.

"Then...what happened to my creator?" The AI asked. Micro looked down sadly as he knew this was a likely question.

"I have two theories, and I don't think you'll like either. The first is that the Sombra of your world sold you to the Auction…"

"And the second?" Micro took a deep breath.

"She died."

The expressionless mask gave nothing away, but Micro knew that she must be hurting. He was never of the opinion artificial intelligence was without emotion. Penny from RWBY, the androids in Detroit Become Human, and there were more examples. To find out you're creator either sold you or died must be like hearing your parents passed.

"So what do you plan on doing with me now that I'm here?" The AI said. Micro was slightly caught off guard with the question, so Chara responded first.

"Well...in the universe the original suit came from it did have an AI assistant in it…"

"And why shouldn't I just take this suit and leave?" The Latina voice asked, repulsars in the feet firing up. Quick as a whip, Micro opened the inventory screen and put all but the helmet in before closing it. "Que?!"

"Because I can do this and prevent you from connecting to anything else," Micro said. "Plus I can easily track you down and destroy you. But if you stay with me, I will allow you a bit more freedom. I want to make a friend."

"...I'm listening…"

Micro smiled as he had her attention.

"I have a lot of technology, and having someone of your skills helping me would be wonderful. Not to mention, you could continue some of what your creator wanted to do here in this world."

"You're a terrorist like the Talon group?!" The AI sounded shocked, probably wondering how someone his age got into terrorism.

"Hell no!" Micro said. "But I know Sombra's true goal was to expose corruption and those who would do harm. The only reason she joined Talon was because those like Overwatch didn't really do anything about it and she could use their resources."

The helmet looked at him and he sensed amusement.

"You're a smart little nino (nin-yo) aren't you?"

"I try. In any case, I hate corruption as well, so as long as you are simply leaking information about their corruption to the public and not hunting them down to kill them, I will let you continue to do so."

"And all it takes is me being your AI system?...Interesting…"

"How about I throw in an attempt to get you your own body?"

"What!?" The AI was in disbelief. "You would give me, someone you know is a terrorist AI, a body of my own?"

"He gave me a body and I was a genocidal spirit who wanted to completely erase worlds from existence," Chara said. "It's not that big of a leap."

"So Sombra," Micro decided to just call her that since it was easier. "What do you say? And no, clock's not ticking."

The helmet's eyes dimmed a bit as if closed in thought.

"Well genio," She said after a moment. "You make a good negotiator. It's a deal."

Micro grinned and relaxed the rest of the armor from his inventory. With her hands free, Sombra shook his before pulling him closer. With one finger, she tapped him on the nose.

"Boop!"

Micro blushed and chuckled a bit at that. Then he thought of something. Pulling out his phone, he opened his photo gallery.

"Oh! Are you going to let me onto your phone so I can go with you when you leave your lab here?"

"Yes, but first I need to delete somethings."

Chara raised an eyebrow at this and used Blink to snatch the phone from his hands.

"Hey!"

"Transfer to it now Sombra!" Chara said holding Micro away. Before Micro could stop her, Sombra connected the purple strings to his phone and a pulse of light later, a model of Sombra appeared on screen. She grinned at the boy before scrolling through his albums.

"Fan art?" She questioned before tapping on the icon.

The screen showed a series of….fan service fan art, a good chunk of the page featuring Sombra in skimpy outfits or making out with other female characters. The Sombra on screen blushed for a second before turning to face Micro.

"So, that's why you want to give me my own body."

Chara burst out laughing while Micro spent the next hour trying to delete the photos as Sombra kept digging them out of the backup files.
