She walked the bike next to the sleek black car and smiled, glad to see he was well. "Mr Kitt? Are you waiting to visit Miss Mikaela?

She hadn't seen this side of him before. The side that protected humans instead of needed upgrades. He was also in a different form than she'd seen before - before, he'd been in Attack Mode. Now, he sat in his normal mode, the fins receded, his wheels back to their usual silver spokes.
"I appreciate the upgrade you were able to equip. I further appreciate that I have yet to need to use it."

"I'm glad the upgrades were successful, and I do hope you won't have to use them. It just doesn't seem that way the longer we stay here."

On an unrelated note, his therapist had just bought a new Porsche.
There was still a bit of time before Sarah was supposed to meet him, and Will decided to give the car a closer look. It was probably just another innocent resident of this strange city, but there was a chance that it could be something else.

He did, however, recognize the voice. The man had broadcast on the network. He hadn't answered because he had been busy searching for Mikaela and the broadcast hadn't warranted a response from him, despite some vague recognition of the format of the man's address.
"No," Kitt answered simply, in his usual neutral tone. "You are Major William Lennox. Did you locate your 'birds'?"
There was a slight pause before the codename - such words always sounded awkward in Kitt's voice.
His scanner swept slowly, inside to outer edges, outside to in, the red light reflecting against the black of his hood.

"Yes, that's me." Grinning a little at the mention of his code he added, "Most of them, though I haven't filled the coop yet."
Tilting his head at the strange red light coming from inside the car, the major tensed slightly, ready to bolt if an attack came. When none manifested he relaxed slightly and said, "So, are you from around here, or did you get dragged here to?"

That, Kitt knew, would surprise the man. It seemed to surprise all humans here when he informed them of his origins. But that was for the best. It meant the secret of the SSC and FLAG had been kept well.
