Doorman Chronicles/MD Post canon Au - Chapter 2- A visit from Grandma
A day Late but Here’s the Second Chapter of Doorman Chronicles Featuring a visit from Nori that takes a week before Last Chapter.
Today was the day. The day that He was going to get on Nori’s good side after so long. Nori was coming over today as she wanted to see Uzi and Sub as it's been a bit and she couldn’t wait until the Dinner That was happening next week. Also Uzi said that she could come over to see them.
He and Nori’s Relationship has not been the best. It was mainly on Nori’s side of the son in law relationship as he managed to get on Khan’s good side after all these years but Nori was just as stubborn about old events as Uzi is. Must be as Khan calls it that Doorman Data.
So This visit will give N the opportunity to try and get on her goodside. Normally he would be having a conversation with Uzi to see if she could help him out but this time he's decided to go solo for this occasion. Sub was currently in the room with him while he was waiting for Nori to show up as Uzi told him she would be there around 5:30 and it was 5:29 currently.
But then He and Sub both hear the Door open up and N Saw that Nori was there who immediately saw Sub there on the Floor.
“Awww. There’s the grandson of the hour.”
“Grandma!” Sub Happily calls out to her while getting up from the floor and Going towards her with Her picking him up.
”How's my little bug been?”
“It’s been good. Kindergarten has been going well.” He tells Nori while smiling at Her.
So While Nori was playing with Sub in her arms she then noticed that N was there nervously waving to her.
"Hey Nori." He then said to her.
“Oh. You’re here too.” Nori then saids To N in a bland tone.
”Hehehe. Yep it’s me. The son in law.” N then nervously saids to Nori.
“Yep.” She says in a bland tone to him.
Then it was quiet for a few seconds until she returned her visor’s look back to Sub.
“Alright you little bug. I’m going to go find your mom to talk to her for a little while. You stay here ok.” Nori then says to Sub.
”Sure thing Grandma Nori.”
So Nori Put Sub down on the floor and then headed off to Uzi’s office while giving a Stare at N who was now digitally sweating in nervousness until she left the room and He breathed a sigh of relief. Then it was quiet for a few seconds until Sub looked up at N and said.
“Dad? Why does Grandma Nori not like to talk to you a lot?”
”Well Sub. It's Because me and Her don’t have the best relationship.” He explains to Sub. “I kinda sorta got off on the wrong foot with her on our first meeting where.. A bunch of Things happened.”
“Why don’t you try to get on her good side?" Sub then Suggests to him.
”I have been trying. But she is as stubborn as your mom.”
“Oh. That makes sense.” Sub says while Making a o Mouth motion.
”Yeah. But Maybe this visit will be the chance I get to change her opinion on me.” He happily tells Sub.
“So should you go follow her to Mom's room and talk to her with Mom there?." Sub suggests to him.
You know. That wasn’t a bad idea actually. Nori was usually a lot more talkative to him whenever Uzi was around as Uzi also wants her to be more open to talking to him. So that was it. He was going to go into his wife's office and join into their conversations politely.
"That's actually a good idea Sub. I'm going to go talk to your mom and grandma for a bit. Do you think you will be fine for a bit?" N then says and asks Sub while looking down.
"You're welcome Dad. I will be fine. I’ll just play with My toys while you’re gone."
So N headed off to Uzi’s Office to see if he could try and get on Nori’s Good side as the Son In Law.
Meanwhile Within Uzi's Office she was Looking Over the documents that The colony Gave her about Owning her own Building as part of her lab idea that's she’s been working on for a while. But while she was looking over These documents she then heard a knock at the door which startled her. So she turns around within her chair and sees her Mom there at the doorway.
"Mom. You're here. A bit early." Uzi says to her mom, surprised she was already.
"What do I say? Better to be early than late." She replies to her while Walking into the Room."So how's the progress on your new goal Sweetie?"
"Fine. Just Trying to read through these documents that I got from the colony about my building for the lab.” She explains to Nori.
“That’s my daughter! Always achieving new heights as she should.” Nori congratulates Uzi on her new Adventure.
Nori was always supportive of whatever Goal she had in mind ever since she came back from the underground. She was also very proud of her for Managing to Rebuild her a new body by herself as a thank you for helping her figure out how to save The universe.
So While Uzi and Nori continue their little talk for a bit they both then hear some noise coming towards them and both see that it was N there at the Doorway.
“Hey Uzi. Hey Nori.” He then says to them both.
”Hi N. Where’s Sub?” She asks N.
”He’s in the living room playing with his toys.” He tells her.
Then she noticed her Mom was Having a Unamused Look on her face after N Walked in. She must’ve already talked to Him when she came into the house and is already being on her not acknowledging N phase. Sometimes she wishes that her Mom would just fully accept N as her son in law. Dad has done it so why couldn’t she? But to be fair if she was killed by one of them and had to live in an underground area for 17 years while also trying to stop a universe ending virus she would not acknowledge them as a family member as well.
“So Uzi.” Nori Then says to her. “Guess what I happened to find before I came here.”
Then in a quick second Nori pulled out a Picture from her Pocket which was A picture of Uzi as A UNN wearing Nori’s Worker Helmet with Nori holding her.
"Mom! Why did you happen to have that picture?!" Uzi says in shock that she happened to have on her.
“Because I was doing some cleaning earlier today At The house and I saw this picture of Us and I couldn’t resist seeing it again and you seeing It.” Nori explains to Her.
"Awww! She's wearing a Cute big helmet on her little pill Baby Body." N says while looking at the picture.
"Don't get absorbed in by the cuteness N. I was just playing with it." Uzi tries to warn N and explains to him.
“Not going to lie Sweetie. You are kinda cute in this Picture.” Nori then adds in.
“Are there Other pictures of her like this? N then asks Nori.
”I hope there are not.” Uzi hoped to herself knowing that there probably are more pictures.
”Yes there are. I have a collection of them.” Nori says out loud.
”Ugh. Ok I’m going to take my break from work for a bit and also Check on Sub in the living Room.” Uzi says to them both while getting up from her Chair leaving N and Nori there in the room.
Then it was quiet for a few seconds between both of them as Nori then suddenly realized to herself that She was having a genuine conversation with a murder drone. Maybe Uzi was right. with their previous conversations and she should be more accepting of Her husband. Then she saw him turn his Head towards her with a smile on his face. He was actually enjoying the baby pictures unlike Uzi was. Sure it was probably because she was getting second hand embarrassment from them but he was still interested in them. So Nori then took a breath in and then said to N…
”Alright Murder Drone. I will try to be a bit more accepting of you like Uzi has been suggesting to me.”
”Really?” N says while slowly wagging his tail in slight happiness.
”Yes. But Don’t expect it to be A quick process. I'm still stubborn about the past.” She then Tells Him in a strict manner. “But maybe moving past it will be easier if I acknowledge you as my Daughter's husband more often.
”Oh Thank You Mother in Law. I promise I will be the best Son in law you will ever have.” N declares to Her while saluting.
”Ok. But first thing. Don’t call me Mother in law.”
