I Didn't Want This Either | Gavin Reed x Reader

The Kamski Test

"Come on, come on!" he hissed, coming to a grinding halt outside of your car, moving towards the drivers side door again. You didn't complain, stopping outside of the passenger side as Nines went for the back seat. Gavin's eyes lit up, and a voice you didn't recognize pierced through his phone.

"Baby bro? What's getting you to call me so early?" Gavin pulls open his door and falls into the driver seat. 

"Eli, good! Are you still at home? Do we have time to stop by and pay you a quick visit?" Gavin slipped his keys into the ignition, and hit the gas. You jerked forwards, letting out a startled cry, and whip to face him.

"Watch it, Gav! Jesus!" Gavin doesn't bat an eye, continuing recklessly. 

"Woah, is that a girl in the background? Aww, Gavvy, are you tryna use my fame to secure another one night stand?" Gavvy...? One night stand? You let out a disgusted sound, pinching the bridge of your nose and squeezing your eyes shut.

"Good Christ, Eli, no! Fuck no!! I don't care- if you have time to be a cheeky little piece of shit then you have time for me to stop by for a while." Gavin didn't let his brother protest, and continued on. You grimaced, gripping onto the handle above you for dear life. Gavin was going way over the speed limit and was very distracted, and neither of you had your badges so you couldn't get away with it with the 'police business' excuse. You prayed to god that no cops spotted you. "You've got those, uh... those Karen's, right? The robot ones?" you furrow your brows. 

"'Karens'? Far from it, bro. They're called C-" Gavin thumped through a pothole in the road, and you let out a swear, missing the name that Gavin's brother had said. "And yes, I do have them. Though one of them went missing or something-"

"Excuse me? 'Missing'? What does that mean, did she leave?" 

"Since when did you start calling androids she or he?" Eli changed the topic, and from what you could hear he seemed to be very interested in Gavin's shift of worldview. 

"Not the time, Eli. I'll be there in 40 minutes. Don't leave." Gavin didn't give his brother a chance to protest or add on any other words, hanging up and dropping his phone into his lap. You open your mouth to speak, to ask one of the many questions burning within your skull, but Gavin holds up a finger. "No questions. It's too much to explain, you just have to see for yourself. I need to concentrate on driving, we have to catch him before he leaves for his stupid vacation."

"Gavin, are you serious? You can't tell me anything?"

"No. Nothing. Just shut up and wait for us to get there."

The drive was beyond agonizing. Gavin was mumbling to himself throughout the entirety of the ride, though his words were always just quiet enough that you couldn't make sense of them. You left the city of Detroit, moving through the outskirts. Trees crowded around you, everything devoured in total darkness, the car still speeding forwards much too quick for comfort. At long, long last, the car broke through the treeline and you let out a gasp. The sight before you was absolutely stunning. You pulled out towards a lake, the moon reflecting on it's glass-smooth surface. Gavin slammed on the brakes, the car kicking up dirt behind it as it slowed with a screech. 

"Gavin!" you scolded, and he shouted back a pissy 'sorry'. He hardly had the keys out of the ignition by the time he shoved open his door and leaped from the seat. You followed, eager and excited since it seemed you were finally at your destination. You hurried to keep up with Gavin, Nines on your tail, and followed him up a fancy pathway, railings on either side to block you from tumbling into the water below. The house you were approaching looked like a fucking spaceship. It was black, angular, like an obsidian rock hollowed out and decorated with massive windows. You wanted to ask why the hell you were here but you know you wouldn't get an answer. Gavin reached the door, and gave it a hard three knocks, crossing his arms. He looked positively pissed. The door opened seconds later, and a familiar android showed her welcoming face.
