Fandom: Terminator:Sarah Connor Chronicles
Characters: Cameron, Sarah, Catherine Weaver
Summary: Ficlet set post-series where they all know about one another but Catherine's motives are still unknown

"I sent Weaver Asimov's '3 Laws of Robotics,'" Cameron said as Sarah tried to sip her coffee.

"The ones about never hurting humans? And obeying humans?"

"And putting human life above machine self-preservation. Yes."

"And?"

"She messaged me that she liked it."

"She liked it," Sarah said, raising an eyebrow.

"She seemed to think I sent it as a joke."

Sarah paused. "Did you send it as a joke?"

"No. Well, mostly no."

Sarah sighed. "So why did you send it?"

Cameron tilted her head. "I wanted to see how she would respond. And she responded that it was hilarious."

"...And what did you learn about Weaver from that, exactly?"

"I'm not sure yet. But I did learn that someone thinks I'm funny."

"Well, that knowledge will definitely come in handy," Sarah said.

"I think so too," Cameron said.

For a minute, Sarah wanted to ask if Cameron believed that or was kidding, but the thought of getting an answer - any answer - to that question made her want to crawl back in bed. So she just nodded, hoping that their attempts to understand how Weaver thought wouldn't end... well, the way most of their plans ended.

She took a long sip of her coffee, and looked again at Cameron, wondering how anyone could find her funny.
