Connor has a secret lover, or so Hank thinks.
That misunderstanding probably won’t cause too many problems. Right?

Summary
“Okay, let me run this by you one more time, just in case I’m missing anything. We’ve had more than fifty separate missing person cases stemming from the same three-block radius in the last month. Somehow, we have no witnesses, no physical evidence, no suspects, and no pattern between the victims, other than them all being androids. Our only lead is an unlicensed number plate that Connor’s managed to narrow down to a national park in Canada, spanning over 2500 square miles. And now you’re suggesting that I take the only android detective in the DPD, on an undercover sting operation, completely blind, with little to no back-up or communication, to a remote location, where we’ll pretend this bucket of bolts is not only a perfectly functional human-being, but also my son, in order to infiltrate and expose what might either be the world’s most fanatic robot-enthusiast, or a cult dedicated to the android eradication.”
Captain Fowler crosses his arms and reclines back into his chair as the information settles in each of their minds.
“Yeah, that about covers it. Any more questions?”
(Based after the survivors/moral victory pacifist ending because that's self-care)

Summary
Hank&Connor flee Detroit overnight after both are driven to the brink of committing suicide during the final days of the revolution. Taking refuge in Canada, they have to learn how to live with each other, help each other heal. Which isn't exactly as heartwarming as it sounds. Hank could fill a novel with his emotional baggage - alcoholism, depression & selfhatred over the death of his son. Connor is quick to catch up to him with his own share of problems- the constant threat of Amanda and another possible hacking attempt by Cyberlife leave him terrified of losing control. He's clueless about the concept of identity, free will and emotions, wants nothing more than to stay a machine. After all, he's only deviated in order to stop his partner from killing himself, not because he'd wanted to be free.
After a few weeks together, things seem to get better. Androids are close to gaining their rights in America. Hank and Connor are starting to form an actual familial bond. The Lieutenant is almost becoming hopeful after years of mindless cynicism. Then Connor starts slipping out of their home at night on a regular basis, believing Hank doesn't notice. He sure does. After all, he used to be the DPDs very best.
