Ai Hoshino's Arrival

Ethan woke up with Yor in his arms, she was asleep, naked as was he, after coming back from New York, they had sex and Yor was very frisky that night.

Ethan rubbed her head as he stared at the ceiling.

Ai was gonna be arriving and he had to figure out how to talk to her.

... It'll be a bit hard and he won't know whar her reaction will be to being revived.

Ethan got out of bed and Yor woke up. "Hmm morning." She got up and rubbed her eyes.

She was adorable.

"Morning." Ethan smiled and found his underwear and put it on. "Ready to head down?" Ethan asked.

Yor blushed and shook her head smiling. "I can't move my legs." She giggled.

Ethan chuckled and leaned over, pecking her lips. "Rest a bit more, I need to get stuff ready." Ethan got up and went to his bathroom.

"Okay." She laid back down and tried to go back to sleep.

Ethan brushed his teeth, wondering how the other girls were doing.

He checked the cameras on his mirror.

The maids were up and cooking, like normal.

Half of the girls were still asleep, like Harley, Gwen, Nejire, Loona, Rebecca and Mirko.

Jenny was up but out of her room, she was actually flying over the mansion, enjoying the sky.

Bonnie was in her room on her laptop, writing profusely... What was she writing?

Shouko Komi was actually conversing with Coco in the tailor room, Shouko was admiring the clothes Coco made.

Good on her.

Kushina and Sakura were eating and talking in the dining room.

Wednesday ... Well she did try to make an electric chair a while back but Ethan stopped her and banned her.

She was currently eating... Pancakes.

"Sir, the maids found cyanide in the batter..." Cortana explained.

... Wtf...

Meru was going through her closet for the day.

Wanda was helping in the kitchen.

Arcee was outside with the twins in a spar.

Huh productive morning.

"ETA on Ai's arrival?" Ethan asked Cortana.

"2 hours." Cortana answered.

"Fine... also Wake up Harley." Ethan ordered. She sometimes slept till afternoons.

Harley's feed showed her bed ejecting her onto the floor.

".... I didn't mean like that." Ethan deadpanned.

"Apologies, she's shown to be unresponsive to Amy loud sounds and light poking/shuffling." Cortana explained with a somewhat smug look.

"... Fair enough." Ethan shrugged as he heard Harley cursing at Cortana.

"So if I can gain the ability, could you teach me?" Ethan asked looking at Kushina.

"We could, but it won't be easy." Kushina responded.

"I figured." Ethan nodded and ate the last of his bacon.

"Is it that easy?" Sakura asked frowning.

"This is Earth Prime, almost everything is easy these days." Ethan explained as he drank his juice.

"I see.." Kushina rubbed her chin.

The doorbell rang.

Ethan got up and walked to the door.

He adjusted his hair and shirt before opening the door.

"Hey E!" Britney grinned happily.

"Brit?" Ethan blinked. "It's been a long while, what's up?" He asked.

"Oh just some personal stuff in my life happening and the such, you've upgraded and I saw your new toys." She pointed at the twins off in the distance watching them.

"Yeah, so this is her?" Ethan looked at the pod.

"Yup, revived and asleep." Britney said. "Be patient with this one."

"Got it." Ethan took the tablet and signed it.

"I'll see you around E!" Britney walked back to her vehicle.

Ethan took the pod inside, into the living room.

Harley and Wanda walked in and looked into the pod.

"Poor gal... A liar all her life but genuinely loved her kids..." Harley's tone was sad.

Wanda was looking at Ai, she didn't like the fact that she got pregnant so young and died clutching her baby boy... That was just traumatizing.

Ethan took the duffle bag with clothes that she came with out. Wanda immediately took the bag. "I got it dear." She left for the elevator.

Ethan took a deep breath. "Time to wake her up."

Ai remembered dying... It was cold... Her regret was leaving her children....

But... She felt genuine love for her babies... Only in her last moments... That was also a regret...

Where was she?

Ai opened her eyes to see a... Rather handsome man staring down at her... Was she saved and taken to a hospital or was this something like heaven?

"W-who?" She croaked.

"Ah good you're awake." The man smiled at her. "How are you feeling?"

Ai looked down at her stomach and saw nothing.

"What happened, where are my kids?" She asked, the first thing coming to mind.

The man bit his lip. "Well... Long story short... You were taken out of your world the moment you died and were revived... Now... You're my " He explained.

Ai blinked. Was he joking?

But she remembered the whole thing... She looked down. What should she do?

Well... She did what she always knew to do.

She faked a smile. "Thank you for taking me, I'll be in your care." She lied, like she always knew how to.

Ethan frowned at the lie, sure, it was her default but... She needed to break that habit.

"I would prefer if you were honest." Ethan helped Ai up from the pod, she stumbled as he guided her to the couch where she took a seat.

"Honest?" Ai was confused, how could he tell she was lying?

"Master, you should be patient with her and let her get used to her situation." A blonde woman with pigtails and wearing a black shirt said and handed her a pamphlet. "Read these, they help."

Ai slowly took the pamphlet and saw that it was in Japanese, she read through it, curious about how these were helpful.

Ethan moved away, Harley followed. "First lie she told... And she was so good at it too." Ethan sighed. "If I haven't learned how to spot liars, I wouldn't have caught it..."

"Yeah it's bad... I'll talk to her, try and get her to open up." Harley nodded at him.

"Best care scenario?" Ethan asked.

"She finally embraces her emotions and true feelings, they may range from rage of being separated from her babies and her **** or just crying." Harley explained.

"Worst case?"

"She doesn't open up at all." Harley frowned. "I think we should give her time to process all of this and read those pamphlets." Harley told him.

Ethan nodded. "I understand... I'll get Cortana to-"

"I'll do it." Kushina cut it as she entered and smiled at them both.

Ethan blinked but nodded. "Okay, her room is ready on the third floor." Ethan told Kushina who nodded and walked over to Ai, the two left the living room.

"... I'll talk to her later." Harley told Ethan.

"Yeah... I'll postpone Ruby's arrival." Ethan left the living room.

Harley sighed, then frowned, she turned to where Ethan went, wasn't the elevator the other way?

Ethan loved his secret rooms and elevators, like this one, it was in the hallway to the dining room, by pressing a spot on the wall, an elevator opened up for him and he went inside.

He hummed as the elevator went up, the doors opened to his office. Ethan stepped out and the wall behind him closed.

Ethan sat down on his desk and started to type, postpone second delivery by... 2 days.

Ai will need time to process everything and her therapy... Did she even get therapy?

Make it a week...

Ethan sighed as he rubbed his forehead.

This was gonna be difficult..

They entered the room and saw Wanda there. "Oh I'm sorry, just folding your clothes." Wanda smiled at them.

Ai blinked but smiled. "Thank you." She thanked Wanda.

"So... You have kids." Wanda asked as Kushina looked at Ai.

"Yes..." Her smile dropped as she thought of them. "Toddlers..."

"... I know how you feel." Wanda closed the closet doors.

"You do?" Ai looked at Wanda surprised.

"I was supposed to have children... Then I would've lost them..." Wanda explained.

Kushina frowned. "Me too... I was supposed to have my son but... I died." She explained.

Ai looked at the two women. "... What's he like?" She asked.

"Ethan?" Wanda asked, Ai nodded.

"Well... He's kind, caring... A bit greedy, but he does want us to be honest with him." Wanda explained.

"I'm honest." Ai lied.

"Are you?" Kushina asked raising an eyebrow. "From what I was told, you've been lying your whole life."

Ai stayed silent, she clutched the pamphlet in her hands. "I would like to be alone.."

The women looked at each other but obliged and left the room.

Ai sat on her bed and continued to read the pamphlet, every word she read, she felt something bubble inside her... But she just pushed it aside.

"Good afternoon!" Ai jumped and looked up seeing a woman who's completely blue, wearing a skin tight suit.

"I am the AI of this household, Cortana, I am here to inform you that you have a therapy session with Harley at 5 pm."

"... I don't need therapy." Ai frowned at Cortana.

"It's not negotiable." Cortana shook her head. "When you wish to go, call my name I will help guide you there." Cortana vanished.

"..." Ai looked down at the pamphlet and continued to read.
