Milo’s grin was somewhat diabolical. “We are going to need to bringeveryonein on this.”
Notes:
So, superheroes. XD All things as previously described, seems like it could be a crack fic happy ending, right? Just stop there with “And the rehabilitation is your dick?” XD But then we get THE TURN.
Superhero Rowan and thief Milo are planning to work through things and see where it goes between them, but the issue is forced when Rowan is kidnapped by some bigger, badder villain, all very public, like it’s going to be some huge public superhero execution or something, and the only person who can save Rowan… is Milo.
Despite making himself vulnerable by getting involved, Milo goes to rescue Rowan and claim his man. But how, dear readers, should it end? ^_^ (and how should THIS END? Crap! Back to the real fic!)

Notes:
Um, listen… so… you see… OH JUST READ THE DAMN CHAPTER!
MILO
Clearly, Rowan had not expected Milo to literally meaneveryone, but as it turned out, everyone was indeed willing to help.
After some convincing of a few of them.
Ruben: I still can’t believe you’re dating your bot, who is alive somehow, and everyone knew but me!
Raina: Oh hush, like you wouldn’t have still tried to steal Milo out from under Rowan if you knew he was a bot.
Ruben. WellYEAH. I haven’t been calling him Platinum Twink because I DON’T like the way he looks.
Rowan: Please stop objectifying my boyfriend.?
Ruben: Never promising THAT. But I will absolutely do everything you need to help with stopping Andrew Asshat.
Riley: Same here! Fuck the… patriarchy? Fascists? Capitalism? It’s sort of all and none of those at the same time.
Raina: Just say FUCK THE RICH. Always accurate.
Ruben and Riley both sent their own variations of FUCK THE RICH gifs.
Milo: Troy, you in?
Troy: 100%! I was just enjoying the family banter. I’m an only child. Although with my cousins, twins do run in the family.
Ethel: Focus, children. Milo, Rowan, since we are all absolutely with you on this, what do you need us to do?
Ruben: Just please know that if my toaster starts hurling curses at me after this because of how infrequently I clean it, I’m blaming you two.
Milo: I promise, Ruben, no sentient toasters.
All they really needed from Ethel was for her to make sure she plugged in Anabelle the next night for normal charging. None of the others had A- or B-model bots who would be affected by their plan. Raina and Troy would be helping “on the ground” as it were, playing it safe throughout the workday like everything was normal, and then assisting Rowan and Milo with their one in a million shot at changing the world as they knew it.
Those who worked at Andreas Tech would be staying late, so fewer people would be there when they pulled the trigger, but there was a lot to do in the meantime given the scope of what Milo had come up with and what Troy had later confirmed they might actually be able to pull off.
There was a currently offline manufacturing area that Milo had learned about while exploring Andrew’s data files. The start of the plan was to mass produce Rowan’s already approved surge protectors, with Milo set up to cover their tracks and make any activity in that area of the plant look like benign power surges—until the final surge when it would be too late for anyone to stop them. By the end of the day, they would have thousands of surge protectors ready to ship out.
Raina: Ship out? We’re treating these like normal replacement parts or upgrades?
Milo: And recommending with delivery immediate installation.
Rowan: It’s an easy swap if the bot’s charging port isn’t fried.
