“Out, all of you, out! Our matters are confidential.” The woman shooed them through the door, the android didn’t move. And she knew, in that instant that the doctor was also a Cyborg when numbers flashed over her eyes and Bin-Three left to stand outside. The door shut behind them.

A glass of water appeared in the doctor’s hand, Kat took it warily.

“So what’s the matter, beautiful? If you don’t want bed play, I can warn the mech off. Netto is a good guy. Jayce though,” the doctor waved her hands, “well, Jayce is Jayce.”

Kat took a tentative sip and smiled. The silver Cyborg had a name. “So this will be confidential?”

“Of course, sweetheart. Doctor-patient confidentiality. I rarely see humans anymore.” The woman swiveled over to her on a stool. “I was created as a battlefield medic and well, once the war ended, I came here. I specialize in my kind but I know human anatomy as well. But if you’re here for a cybernetic implant...”

“I just had a couple questions. I have money.”

“It’s okay, no money needed. You have Dommik’s android following you. I sent a message to his ship to tell him you’re here.”

Kat looked at the door and wondered if he would be mad.He doesn’t own me. I’m not his captive.If he would leave her behind.

She raked her fingers through her curls and adjusted her clothes. She wasn’t sure why she was feeling anxious. Although everything about this was risky. At least she could have a second opinion here without alerting medical back home.

She took a deep breath. “Alright. I never planned for this but recent events brought me here. Do you know anything about the Gliese parasite?”

A hand gripped his shoulder and the force of it turned his bridge chair around.

Silver hair and silver piercings filled his vision. Dommik rubbed his eyes. “Get off my ship, Jayce.”

“Your assistant is wandering Ghost with one of your android’s, Spider-Man, thought you should know before someone tries to claim her.”

Dommik already knew. He had tracked her signature since they landed. “She can do what she pleases. If someone claims her, good riddance.”

Jayce stepped back and allowed Dommik to rise. He walked over to his weapon cabinet and strapped a single gun to his hip.

He felt like shit, like rusted metal, his body was depleted of poison and his thoughts were weighed down by the inevitable. Kat kept sneaking into his head and it didn’t help that the inside of his suit jacket smelled like her. He had buried his nose into it more times than he would care to admit. Or that he tugged on his cock at the same time.

If she had the mark of someone else, maybe she would stop haunting him.

“Well, I’ll let Netto know then,” Jayce snickered.

“The fucking bull shark?”

“The one and only. He approached her first, sadly, I was second.”

The thought of Kat under Netto filled him with jealous rage. He stormed out of his bridge with Jayce laughing behind.

He stopped.What the fuck am I doing?He closed his eyes and cooled his ardor.

Dommik checked on his creatures before he walked out onto Ghost.

“What kind of monsters are these?”

“Get off my ship, Jayce.”

“Shit man, what’s up?”

So many things.He turned to address the Cyborg. “Is Stryker here?”

“Not that I know of. Gunner isn’t here either.” Jayce stretched out his arms and threaded his fingers.

“What did you say?”
