[IC] Robots of Neotech | ineffable & Riverbeak

Taylor followed Amelia curiously, perhaps also a little to excitedly. His lips still stung from their kiss, and he wanted so much more. He wanted to devour her, make her completely fall into his arms and be his, and his only. He didn't know why he got so much of it, so much what, he didn't know. He just got something and he was beginning to crave more, and more of it. More of her. Caught in his own thoughts, he stopped the bike and looked to the left when something metallic caught his eyes. His heart skipped a beat, when two mechanic 6'4" robots walked in perfect synchronize along a sidewalk. People parted for them, not really minding them much, but Taylor was terrified. Pretty fucking terrified. He swallowed loudly, retreated onto the bike, and hurriedly went back the way he and Amelia got their bikes. He messily latched the bike into the hatch, before he was breathing unevenly.
"So. Those things you hate right? Yeah; they're here, let's go?" he suggested, voice having a high pitch to it. His eyes were wild, irises small like dots, and his hair was wind blown, and his cheeks were pale. He was shaking. Both from fear and adrenaline. One side of him wanted to discover more of those robotics, the other side told him to run the fuck away and never look back. He had no idea what those robots was capable of, but he wanted to know. He wanted to part them up, piece by piece, to discover their mechanical brains and- Taylor stopped himself. He was mad. A mad man. It must've been the fear talking, he reassured himself.

When Amelia spotted Taylor she knew instantly that something was wrong. When she spotted the robot silhouettes, however, she could guess.
"Yeah, They won't do much harm now, Taylor but..." She stopped herself before she scared him further, interlacing his fingers with hers and pulling him through the small crowd towards her apartment building. She slipped out her keys and opened her apartment door, letting him in. The house phone was ringing non stop and Amelia frowned before reaching over and picking up the call, holographic subtles popping up before her.
"THANK GOD!"
"Tori what-"
"LISTEN, GET OUT OF THERE! NOW!"
"What are you-"
"JUST TRUST ME, THE ROBOTS ARE COMING. SOMETHING MESSED UP I DON'T KNOW WHAT. JUST. THEY'RE COMING FOR YOU AND TAYLOR SO HAUL ASS!"
The line cut short. The robots must've been listening in. She heard the faint clutter of machinery outside in the hallway and immediately ran to a small store room, pushing aside old manuals and batteries before closing her fingers around a laser gun. She pulled it out and ran back into the main room. She checked the power of her gun, grabbed Taylor's wrist and ran to her room, closing the doors and locking them before stuffing him into the closet. She climbed in after him and closed the closet doors, leaving a thin crack so it didn't look that suspicious. Her hands grappled behind her and closed around a metal baseball bat that her brother had left at her apartment. She handed it to Taylor carefully before aiming the gun at the door and bracing for the worst.
The crackle of an electric lock picker sounded through her ears.
