J-817 scowled at the rock wall of the mine. He didn’t want to be here. He wanted to be in the increasingly cozy habitat with his wife and his partner. No doubt they were enjoying themselves just fine without him. A surge of jealousy rolled through him as he imagined Daisy giving Billy one of her sweet smiles, perhaps touching him with her soft little hand. It never seemed to bother him when the three of them were together but thinking about the two of them alone drove him crazy. He found himself snapping at Billy, even though the other man had done nothing to deserve it.

Fuck. What was wrong with him? He was the one who had decided that Billy would be a better husband. He was the one who left them together as often as he could, even though he had seen the hurt in Daisy’s eyes. The memory made him wince, but he forced himself to remember his marks on her skin.

Despite his ever-present guilt, when night fell, he couldn’t resist joining them for dinner.

Daisy gave him a welcoming smile, and it was all he could do not to snatch her into his arms. Instead, he just nodded and took his place next to her. Even with the tension thick in the air between the three of them, he was glad that he had decided to join them.

“The Judge called. He needs help,” Billy said, frowning at him across the table.

S-756, known as the Judge both for his official role and for his quick, decisive judgments, had recently acquired both a wife and daughter. The knowledge still shocked J-817. S-756 had been one of the cyborgs who hated humans the most, although his bitterness had never prevented him from rendering an impartial verdict.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

“He thinks his family may be in danger,” Billy said grimly. “He wants some backup.”

“Of course.” He looked from his partner to Daisy, hating the idea of leaving them. “When does he need it?”

“He doesn’t know. He’s just preparing for trouble. Why don’t you ride down tomorrow and talk to him? Maybe we could switch off days.”

“Makes sense.”

“And Sarge, take your medical kit.”

The thought that his medical skills might be needed made him shudder. He hadn’t managed to save any of his men, not even Billy. Lately, he had spent his sleepless nights learning everything he could about delivering babies, even though he was determined that Daisy would have her child in town under the care of a real doctor.

“I’m out of practice,” he muttered.

“You keep up to date on all the latest techniques.” Billy grinned at his surprised look, seeming more like his usual self. “You didn’t think I knew, did you?”

He hadn’t realized that the younger man had noticed. Determined not to fail anyone who needed him again, he had tried to stay informed, even though there had been little use for his training. The process of becoming a cyborg had made them almost impervious to harm. They could be damaged, of course, but their bodies almost always healed.
