I try to sit up but the various thick wires hold me in place. " let me go! Tenma, this is crazy!"

Dr. Tenma walks back into my view and look down at me calmly.

" It is necessary, I assure you. Just try to think of this logically, I'm sure in time you will understand the importance of this."

The scientist moves away again to tamper with a blinking machine. I feel the wires tighten and the cold metal immobilizing my arms at my side.

" Logically?! I don't see the logic of strapping a girl to a table so a mad scientist can conduct a ludicrous experiment on her! What logic do you see, Dr. Tenma?!"

I turn my head towards him as much as I can as I say this. At my question he stops flipping switched and sighs slowly Turing back to me.

" You are going to help me get my son back.. If I can't get through to him, then maybe someone more like him can. That is all the logic i need."

these words sink in and he gets closer and plunges a syringe looking thing into my arm before I can think. Instantly, all my strength evaporates and my eyelids start to droop as I struggle to speak.

" I'm sorry..but, this won't get your son back..."

Before I can hear his response, the world goes black.

One month later

I wake up with a jolt and I sit up immediately feeling panicked. I scan the room with my eyes to find I'm laying a bed in a circular bedroom. All I could think was one word: Danger. So I hop out of the bed and suddenly collapse.

I wake up again to the sound of voices around me, a man and a young boy's voice.

" Do you think she will be alright, Dr. O'Shay? She's been out for a week now."

The boy's voice sounds familiar even though I somehow know I've never met him. A deeper kind voice responds.

" I'm not quite sure.. Her vitals are steady now. Though, when it peaked an hour ago I was worried."

I struggle to move my arm, and still not able to open my eyes. The boy's voice grows excited.

" Hey, doctor, I think I just saw her fingers move!"

I hear footsteps get closer as I focus all my strength on getting up.

" Oh really?! That would be a remarkable improvement and it would also explain the vital peak earlier. Now where did I put.. Oh that's right, I left it down stairs. Would you mind-"

Heavier footsteps move away in a hurry.

" don't worry I'll get it doctor! Should I bring the soup too?"

The lighter footsteps approach my side before answering.Strange.. Why are the younger one's footsteps louder than the older one? Doesn't matter, I need to get out of here.

" yes, that would great. Thank you."

I hear the door slide open and the close, the boy with the heavy footsteps are gone. Now's my chance to get out while there's only one! The doctor is standing over me now, I know even though I can't see him. I struggle to gather my strength. He's muttering too himself.

" All right, let's see if-"

My eyes shoot open and I dodge his hands that are reaching for me. I stumble off the bed and head for the door, it slides open. I shoot down the stairs and at the bottom I go right pass a stunned, Spiky-haired, boy holding a tray with soup. I hear someone tripping down the stairs followed by a voice that calls out sputtering.

" Quick, catch her!"

I turn to look back just in time to see the boy drop the tray and start to chase me. I find the front door and I'm gone...

...

About twenty minutes later I'm walking the streets of the city feeling like I'm about to collapse. People and robots walk by me seemingly without a care in the world, as I continue to glance nervously behind me for the boy. After I left the house, the boy followed me with surprising speed . I was so confused because nothing looked familiar and I nearly got hit by what I can only describe as a hover car. I ran through what looked to be a park when the boy almost caught me. The boy must be famous or something because in a matter of moments, tons of young kids and their parents surround him with smiles on their faces. About five minutes later I had the idea to hop on top of one of the hover cars driving by which is how I ended up in the city.

I'm deep in thought when a robot bumps into me. He is wearing what look to be overalls and a construction site hard-hat, he turns and looks down at me.

" excuse me."

I nod in response and keep moving. Is it normal for robots to walking around? I think back to the house I just ran from. Is it normal to wake up with a doctor and some kid standing over you? I sigh, I don't know why but I can't seem to recall anything except waking up at that house. Do I live there? And why am I so exhausted? As I'm thinking this, my legs are getting heavier and they are hardly lifting off the ground when I take a step. I turn to a man walking passed me wearing suite and tie, I step torwards him feeling nervous.

" um, excuse me.. What is the name of this city?"

The man looks confused for a moment then smiles.

" It's Metro City of course!"

With a skip in his step, he turns and carries on his way not noticing my reaction. As soon as he said Metro City, I saw a flash of blinking machines. Pain shoots into my head and I stumble into a alleyway. My hands instantly clutch my head as more pain shoots through it. My knees buckle from the pain and I fall back into the wall and slide down till I'm sitting with my legs up to my chest, my eyes squeezed shut. After a moment the pain is gone but I don't move in fear it will come back. Was that a memory? Why did the name Metro City trigger it? A hand gently touches my arm and my eyes snap open. I jump up ready to fight when I recognize that it's the boy from earlier. He smiles gently at me and I am surprised to feel calmer. The boy takes a single step closer to me then stops.

" Are you alright?"

I swallow and i look him in the eyes, I decide to trust him.

" What happened to me? And who are you?"

The boy steps closer and sticks out his hand.

" I don't know yet, but I plan to find out. And my name is Astro."
