(Y/n)'s POV

There was a loud thud inside the apartment. Just when you went to investigate what was wrong, a past memory went flying by. Wait a minute, it that- You sprinted after the deviant determined to figure out who it was. Connor had caught up too but still hurt by him, you wanted to do something for yourself for once.

But to your avail, he had outrun you and parkoured over the wall before you could. Quickly scanning your surroundings, you saw a path to possibly cut the deviant off. You dashed to your right and jumped a short distance to another roof; gravel crunching under your feet.

After a while of lunging and running, your lungs felt like they were on fire. You started to cough and wheeze, but you ignored it and continued. Who could that be? They seemed so familiar to me! I need to find out. Even if it kills me. You finally reached the last roof of the aligned buildings, but just as you did so had the deviant.

"Freeze! Put your hands where I can see them!" You called out panting.

The android came to a stop and slowly looked up at you. "Nice to see you again after all these years (L/n)." They spoke in a familiar tone. Wait a minute...I know that voice! When she finally revealed her face, you saw the person who would least expect. "How are you? You know, since being tossed off the roof of the school building?"

"Rhonda?" You quivered.

"I would say the one and only, but I am widely produced. I'm surprised you hadn't caught on miss know-it-all." She jeered.

"Wait wha-"

"I would love and stay and chat but I'm currently being chased by an angry android. Nice catching up with you." She dismissed and tried to run towards huge steps decorated by greenery and solar panels.

With a quick reaction, you grabbed her by the wrist and yanked her away from her escape route. "You're not going anywhere!" You growled holding her close to you.

"But you sure are. Have fun going down memory lane!" Rhonda grinned maniacally as she shoved you off the side. Just like you had five years ago, your body went stiff, but only this time it lasted for a quick second. With the same reflexes as before you grabbed onto the side of the roof with the little strength that was left and smacked into the side of the building knocking the wind out of you.

You screamed at the top of your lungs and wept extremely hard. This was your fear. Recreating what happened all those years ago. I don't want to die. I don't want to die! "I DON'T WANT TO DIE! SOMEONE, PLEASE HELP ME!" You sobbed loudly in hopes that someone would hear you.

Your fingers began to slip from the concrete wall. You screamed louder as you tried to hold on as much as you can. Trying to pull yourself up one of your shoulders made a loud pop noise. You cried out in agony. Please... Someone... Anyone...

"Grab my hand!" Someone finally heard your pleads. You quickly looked up to see the silhouette of a man.

"I-I can't. My shoulder- i-it." You huffed. Taking matters into his hands, he grabbed you from underneath your arms and hoist you up. When you were safely on the roof you were able to see who had saved you. "C-Connor?" You hazily questioned.

But he was already off to the races after Rhonda. With his speed, he caught up with her in no time and grasped her by the wrist tightly and cuffed her. Hank had finally caught up with everyone and knelt next to you.

"Are you okay, (Y/n)?" Hank asked full of concern.

"I-I need my in-inhaler." You said in a low raspy voice from screaming.
