Summary:

All the little things Murderbot forgot. All the little things Amena remembered.

(Part of the Murderbot raises Amena AU)

Day 12: Currency
Amena wants a hug.

Notes:

These are little outtakes from an ongoing AU. Context: what if Murderbot met Amena when she was four? What if, through a series of unfortunate events, Murderbot became Amena's sole caretaker?

etc.

Chapter 1: Surveillance

Chapter Text

“Watch me?”

I stop at the door. Amena isn’t looking at me. She’s looking at my drone, the one that saves all its video and audio straight to the local MedSys. If Amena had a feed interface, I would be able to show her that I am watching her. That drone_17 is tagged as a priority drone, and I have set up a failsafe to prevent it from being automatically backburnered. 

But Amena doesn’t have a feed interface (Tano’s is still broken), so I can’t show her any of this. 

I say instead, “Of course, Amena.”

“Thank you,” Amena whispers.
