Dressed in a thick brown rain coat that covered most of their figure stood a woman, though she looked more like she was in her late teens. Well that's what she would tell people. You see this young woman was well not human. No she was a robot, a robot with both free will and a sense of justice you would never believe.

Her name was XJ-9, but her friends call her Jenny. While the rain coat covered most of her robotic body her head was still slightly exposed thanks to her metallic pigtails painted a cyan blue. She had an annoyed frown on her pretty porcelain face.

She did not enjoy the rain. It made her rust!

She let out a grumble as she waited for the light to change on the crossroad. Why did she not fly? She was far from home, and she really did not need to get her boosters soaked in this blasted rain! So she decided to walk.

The robot girl let out a sigh as the light turned green and walked across the street trying to ignore the murmurs and pointed fingers. She was used to it by now, but she still felt off at being stared at by people like you were a science fair project.

She gasped as she was then splashed by water by a passing car. Her jacket now soaked. She groaned and gave the driver a dirty look before continuing on. She was here for a mission. Some kind of disturbance. Tuck said it was magic, mother said it was a robot about to cause mayhem. Chad just shrugged and said "Magic Robots."

She shook her head with a smile. Her friends were dorks, but she loved them dearly. She let out a sigh as she looked up at the cloudy sky. "Can something good happen today please."

As if to answer her question, a large man bumped into her, causing her to fall on her butt and land in a puddle. "Ugh! Come ON!" She groaned in anger, standing up.

"Watch where you're going, freak!" The obese man roared. Jenny flinched when she heard the word, but she was quick to recover.

"Me?! You're the one that bumped into me!" She protested, crossing her arms. "And I'M the one that got wet because of it!"

"Don't even backtalk me, girl, I'm in a VERY bad mood!" The man growled.

"Yeah? Well guess what? You're not the only one!" She snapped, crossing her arms.

"Who cares about the problems of a freak when us NORMAL folk are dealing with NORMAL issues?!" Jenny squeezed her eyes shut and clenched her fists.

"...Just go away..." She said bitterly.

The man just scoffed at her turning his back as he started to walk away. "Like I would be caught dead talking to a freak like you anyway!" "I get enough of that at home" he hissed the last part quietly before walking away.

Jenny kept her eyes closed as the man walked away, trying to control herself and not break or break him. She hated it. It was not her fault for being a robot! Why can't they see that she was just like everyone else!?

She took some deep breaths and slowly opened her black eyes to gaze around at the crowd that had formed from the argument. She scowled at them and took off not wishing to be looked at right now.

The crowd gave off some sympathetic mumbles, feeling bad for the poor girl's hurt feelings, but she didn't even notice, too focused on getting away from there.

Finally, she touched down in an empty looking neighbourhood. No one was around. This was as good a place as any to calm down.

She sat down outside a fence, hugging her knees to her chest. She looked around at the neighbourhood. Every house looked exactly the same... Looking behind her, she saw an address on the fence. "Number Four Privet Drive..." She mumbled absentmindedly. "Wish I could be as normal as this stupid place..."

She was jolted from her thoughts when she heard what sounded like a sneeze, followed by a whimper.

The robot girl looked around her sensitive eyes and ears trying to pinpoint where it came from. She closed her eyes and focused and soon herd rustling from behind her. She turned her head to see the fence yet as she gazed into the cracks of the fence she could see movement.

Standing up she walked over to the fence activated her boosters and hovered above the fence to see what made that sound. It was a sight that would forever change the robot girl.

A little boy clothed in an oversized shirt was trying to weed the garden. Yet he had no gloves to cover his hands. Jenny blinked at the boy and slowly floated over to him.

He looked pale, almost as pale as she was. He was also shivering as the rain fell. Without really thinking. Jenny extended her arm out and had it shift into a metallic umbrella blocking the cold rain from hitting them.

She stared at her arm for a second with surprised eyes. 'I had an umbrella arm?!'

She internally let out a loud groan, realizing so much could have been avoided if she knew she had that. However, she didn't have time to dwell on it, as the boy slowly turned around to look at her. She blinked and flinched slightly, expecting a scared reaction. "Uh...Hi?" She said with a nervous grin.

Much to her relief, the boy didn't seem to be afraid of her. In fact, he looked at her with what appeared to be...wonder and interest.

"Y-You have an umbrella for an arm..." He said softly. Jenny's eyes widened at the sound of his voice. It was so...cute...

She smiled and crouched down to his level. "Hi there." She greeted gently. "Why are you out here all by yourself?"

"I'm gardening." He replied. "My chores..."

She frowned. "That's not right. You're too small to be doing this by yourself, especially in the rain. You're gonna freeze if you stay out here...Look, you're shaking." Indeed he was. "Come here..." Retracting the umbrella arm, she picked him up in her arms. Carefully, she slipped him in through the collar of her raincoat, where it was still dry, leaving his head poking out as he wrapped his tiny arms around her. Tucking her arms inside the jacket, she wrapped them around him gently. Then, she activated her built-in heaters.

'She is so warm.' Harry thought with a blissful smile as he snuggled closer to the robot girl. Jenny smiled down at the little boy. He was just adorable. His shaggy black hair his emerald eyes, and his voice was so cute.

She rocked him gently and then started to notice a few things. He was very small and light. Granted she can lift a building if she wanted too but, still the child was way to light for his age. He also had dark spots on his arms that looked like hand marks and his face looked like it was red with a hand.

Jenny frowned and looked over at the house. "Hey…little guy." She spoke softly.

Harry forced his eyes opened. He had never been more relaxed then he was right now, but the cool lady was talking to him, he did not want to make her mad or she would chuck him into the thorn bush.

"…Yesh…Miss…?" he mumbled.

Jenny couldn't contain a small giggle at the young one in her arms. "Jenny. My names Jenny. What's yours?"

He lowered his head down to the ground mumbled. "Freak"

Jenny's smile was gone in an instant, replaced with an expression of wide-eyed shock. "What? Why would you say something like that?" She said, now upset.

"Because it's true..." He replied. 'I do the freaky stuff...All the time...My uncle hates it but I keep doing it...I try not to, but I can't stop..." He looked like he was trying not to cry, and there was an audible quake in his voice as he talked.

Jenny knew. She just KNEW... "...Your uncle did this to you...didn't he?" She said gently. "It was your uncle that hurt you." He snapped up his head to look at her in shock. He began to breathe heavily.

"I...I wasn't supposed to tell anyone...I wasn't supposed to...He'll kill me, he'll..."

"Shhh..." Jenny tightened her hold on him. "Shh shh shh shh shh..." She had grown a major soft spot for children after that incident where she spent a day in kindergarten. She NEVER wanted them to be hurt or upset...

Suddenly the back door swung open with a thud. "BOY, YOU BETTER BE PULLING THOSE WEEDS!" someone bellowed. Jenny tensed as her eyes grew wide. That voice...no way. She turned around still holding the small child and saw the very same obese man from before.

Their eyes met showing surprise. The man stared at her with wide eyes before his face turned into a dark shade of purple. Jenny however only stared in shock before she felt her arms starting to shake. She cast her gaze down and saw the small boy trembling, not from the cold, but from fear at the big man before them.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING FREAK! LET GO OF MY PROPERTY!" he bellowed.

Jenny looked at the boy for a few more moments. Then, she tightened her hold on him in a protective manner. She sent the man a vicious, hateful glare. "Your property?" She said in a low voice. "Is that what he is to you? Just some THING that you can break when it frustrates you?"

He gritted his teeth. "Now see here, you little-"

"No. I'm not giving him to you. NEVER." Jenny snapped. "If you think you're gonna get away with the way you treated this kid, you have another thing coming!"

"HAND HIM OVER RIGHT NOW, OR SO HELP ME I WILL-"

"You'll what? WHAT will you do?" She snapped. "Go ahead, try and fight me! I've taken on giant monsters. I've taken on supervillains. I've taken down all kinds of things that could have destroyed this planet, and I WON. I'm not scared of some obese walrus, so you can just BACK OFF!"

"WHY YOU-" Vernon tried to charge forward, but froze in his tracks. Jenny blasted the ground in front of him. This created a massive crater in the yard that he very nearly fell into.

"Don't even try to follow me. I'm gonna have you locked up. I'm taking him away from here. Forever. And there's NOTHING you can do to stop me."

Harry watched this with wide eyes as he stared up at the robot girl with admiration. A super-hero…a super-hero had come to rescue him!

Jenny lowered her arm and glared at the fat man. She leaned her head down to the young boy's ear and whispered "Hang on."

The boy did not fully understand but tightened his hold around the girl.

"YOU CAN" T DO THIS! I WILL HAVE YOU DETAINED AND SOLD FOR PARTS! YOU FREAK!"

Jenny rolled her eyes griping the boy tightly and activated her boosters. She zoomed into the sky at great speed. Harry held on with dear life as they rocketed up from his old life. As the sensation of going straight up stopped the boy slowly opened his eyes and promptly widened them in amazement as they zoomed above the clouds.

Jenny couldn't stop the giggle that escaped her at seeing his expression. She felt an odd sensation flying with him, a warmth that seemed to make her once cold robotic body warm up in an odd but fulfilling sensation. She loved this. She tightened her grip on the boy and descended onto her hotel balcony. She kissed the little boy on the forehead leaving a blue lipstick stain.

Harry stared at her with wide eyes as he had never experienced what she did with her lips. It was similar to how his aunt showed she cared to his cousin. All he got where slaps to the face. He was confused though. Why did a super-hero save him? He was a freak? Freaks deserve all the pain they get…don't they?

The robot smiled warmly at him as she entered her room. She placed him down on the bed, then looked down at him and frowned. "Oh my gosh, you look so tired. How long has it been since you slept?!"

"Um...I think I got a little bit of sleep a few days ago..." He replied, unsure.

"A LITTLE bit? A few DAYS?" Her eyes widened. She shook her head. "No...No, that's wrong." She said softly. Carefully, she picked him up. She placed his tiny head on the pillow before tucking him in up to his chin. He looked up at her with huge eyes. She smiled and ruffled his hair. "Go to sleep." She said gently.

"But...I have work-"

"No you don't." She said gently. "There's not a THING for you to do here. Not while you're with me. Right now, I want you to relax and just get some sleep."

Harry still looked unsure. He needed to get his chorus done before his daily beating. Yet the warm bed and the soft pillow was lulling him to sleep as the exhaustion was catching up.

Jenny smiled tenderly as she rubbed his cheek gently. "I'll be right here when you wake up." She whispered.

"You …promi..se?" He mumbled.

Jenny smiled and leaned over to kiss his cheek then his forehead. "I promise."

Harry gave her a small smile and closed his eyes as the last thing he saw was her smiling face.

Jenny smiled warmly. She took a moment to step away from the bed. She turned to face the window. And then she closed her eyes and let out a delighted squeal, much like a teenage girl at a concert.

"He's so...stinkin'...CUTE!" She gushed silently to herself. "Oh my gosh, he can't be real!"

She calmed herself down. "Okay, Jenny, settle down...You need to think about what you're gonna do next...Yeah, you saved him...But now the fat man's probably gonna get the police involved... I don't wanna fight them, but I don't wanna go to jail...I need to get proof that that guy's been hurting him." She turned to look at the sleeping child. She approached and placed a hand on his cheek gently. "I'm never letting them take you from me." She promised softly. "I'll stick with you and protect you, with everything I've got. That's a promise."

The boy seemed to lean into her touch which made the robot girls smile brighten. She jumped when there was a knock on her door.

Reluctantly she pulled her hand away from the child and walked over to the door. She looked through the peep hole and saw two officers.

Jenny tensed but took a deep breath as she opened the door slowly. "Hello officers." She greeted. "I…kind of know why you're here."

The officers blinked at her before she saw recognition in their eyes at the sight of her. Most of the police force was informed of the famed robot girl who has saved the world and helped them fight off crime. She was a hero, and when a man called into them screaming that a robotic thing had kidnapped his nephew they had an idea on what it was, but wanted an expert to aid them. Yet they were both surprised that it seemed that she knew already about the kidnapping.

"You know about the kidnapping ma'am?" the one officer asked her.

"Well, yeah, but...It wasn't exactly a kidnapping. It was more of a rescue." Jenny said, looking down slightly. The officers exchanged glances.

"Explain?" One of them said, raising a brow. Jenny stepped aside, revealing Harry asleep in the bed. "...YOU?" One of the men said, shocked. "YOU took him?"

"He was being abused." She replied, looking at the officers. "He told me his uncle hurt him. The man at the house called him his property. He was terrified to see that man. That man's been hurting him."

"...Do you have proof of this...?" Jenny looked back at the sleeping child.

"...Look around the house. You're bound to find SOMETHING. But trust me, please...That man's been hurting him, I just know it."

The two officers exchanged glances not knowing exactly what to do. They were not expecting the robotic hero to kidnap a child. One of the officers looked back and saw the concern and sad look on her face and let out a sigh. He turned to his partner, "Stay here. I'll get Mark from patrol and take a look." He said.

Jenny turned her head around in surprise as she saw the officer nod his head as the other walked away tipping his hat to her. Jenny blinked at the man in surprise "Wh…?"

"We are giving you the benefit of the doubt" the officer said. "Despite what you may think we look up to you. Going out there and saving lives. Lives that may not appreciate who you are." He smiled at her. "You're a hero, and a young girl, so we are going to give you a chance and look into this matter. If my partner finds anything then they will be arrested, if not then we are going to have to take the child away and take you in for questioning." He smirked "If you allow us to anyway."

Jenny blushed slightly and scratched the back of her head. "Heheh...Uh...Yeah..." She said sheepishly. She turned to look back at the child. "Um...Wanna...come in or something? I could order room service?" She was still a bit socially awkward when not interacting with her friends.

"I suppose I might as well." The officer shrugged, stepping into the room.

And so...

They waited for a while before the original officer came back, looking very grim. "...They're in the process of being arrested right now." He said seriously. He then pulled out three items: An old tattered blanket, a small snow-white teddy bear and what looked to be a journal of some sort. "Sicko actually wrote down what he did to the kid every day. He's completely loony, I tell you... Keeps writing about 'Beating the magic out of him' and whatnot..."

Jenny's eyes narrowed. "...Can I...see the journal? Just for a second?" She asked.

"Couldn't hurt, I suppose." The officer shrugged. "Just promise me you won't destroy it..." Jenny took it, then pulled it open.

If she could, she would have vomited from what she saw written down in that book. 'How...How could he...? How...?' She thought, racking her brain for answers. 'A stove...? Chemicals...? Nails...?'

"...Take this back before I destroy it." Jenny said, her voice conveying just how hard she was trying to keep her righteous fury in check.

The officer took the book back quickly and passed it to his partner who skimmed threw it his face growing stonier as he read. "Where did you find this?" he asked.

The officer sighed and massaged his head. "In a cupboard under the stairs, along with the blanket and the bear." He handed them to Jenny who took them. "It was hidden under the blanket, must have been the kids pillow." He paused as he watched the girl start to shake. "Sorry, I said to much. We still need to get the kid to see a doctor to have some medical records for the abuse."

Jenny tried to calm down. He SLEPT in a CUPBOARD! She was so close to snapping when she heard a tinny moan coming from the bead. The three turned and saw the sight of the little boy twist and turn in bed as if he was having a nightmare. Jenny's eyes grew wide as she rushed to his side tossing the bear and blanket witch landed on the end of the bed magically folded with the bare sitting on top.

She leaned down and gently removed the covers and picked him up and held him close. "Buddy wake up please." She said rocking him a bit.

The boy's eyes snapped open and looked around in terror before he felt a familiar warmth and looked up into the black eyes of the robot girl. "Yo…you kept it."

She blinked at him confused but soon remembered the promise she made. She gave him a warm smile and kissed his cheek. "Of course I did."

He sniffled and hugged her tightly. "Will you...keep keeping it?" He asked timidly. She smiled and hugged back.

"Of course I will." She said gently. "I'll never let you go."

The officers exchanged glances, smiling. "Seems the boy's already got himself a replacement guardian." One said.

Jenny blushed slightly and smiled. "...Yeah. You could say that..." She replied. "...So...How soon can I try and adopt him?"

"Well…at the moment, those 'people' need to go through court but for right now he needs someone to watch him. He would usually go to child services but…I think that would do more harm than good." The officer said.

Jenny nodded as she continued to rock the boy. "So I'll be his guardian then?"

The officer nodded. "Unless we find other relatives, but I doubt you'll let him go even then will you." The one said with a small smirk.

Jenny smirked back. "You know it."

"All joking aside. We still need to get him to the hospital to get him checked out." The standing officer spoke. "You wish to ride with us or fly there?" he asked casually.

Jenny looked up in thought before feeling the boy stir in her arms. She looked down and saw a faint excited twinkle in his eyes. She thought back to when they flew and remembered the warm feeling, and his excited face. She smiled warmly down at him then looked up at the two. "I think we'll fly."

The officers smiled at the pare and began to walk out of the room. "I'll meet you there" the one who stayed behind said. "Always nice to have a policeman for these sort of cases." He leaned in and whispered to her. "And while they are examining him we can pay a visit to the station for you to question his tormentors." Jenny's eyes widened before they started to shine as a cruel smile lit up her face before returning to a more pleasant one a second latter. "That would be nice officer."

The police nodded. "All right then. Meet you there!" They stepped out of the room. Jenny smiled at the child in her arms.

"So, little buddy...Ready to go on another flying trip?" She asked, grinning.

"Really? More flying?!" Harry replied eagerly. "I love flying!" Jenny giggled.

"I know. And I'll take you on plenty of flying trips." She said gently, ruffling his hair. "Now come on...We need to get you to the hospital."

"Hospital? What's that?"

"It's a place where they take care of people who are hurt. Like you."

"I...I'm not hurt too bad..."

Jenny smiled sadly at the little boy. "Buddy, it's okay. We still need to get you looked over so I can watch over you and we can put those bad people away for a long time."

Harry was confused and sad though. "Should I go away then too…I've been bad" He mumbled.

Jenny frowned and kissed the top of his head. "Of course not." She whispered to him. "You have done nothing wrong buddy. Nothing." She tried to stress.

"But…I do freaky stuff..." he mumbled looking up at his emerald eyes shining with fresh tears.

"Shh" Jenny rocked him a bit and smiled down at him. "Buddy I can turn my arm into an umbrella. Do you think I'm a freak for being able to do that?" She asked hiding how nervous she was about his answer.

She was greatly relieved when he quickly shook his head, "No, you're pretty and cool…you keep me warm and give me hugs…I like hugs…" he mumbled.

Jenny felt that warmth return tenfold as she gave the boy her warmest smile her eyes tearing up slightly. She cradled the little boy and gave him a kiss on his forehead. "You're so sweet." She cooed. "There is nothing wrong with being a little different buddy." She said remembering what her friends and family always said to her. "It makes you just that extra special."

Harry looked up at her his own eyes glistening with tears but he felt something different. It was not his usual pain and sadness. He felt…happy…happy and hopeful.

Jenny slowly walked back outside not even noticing the rain. "You ready to fly buddy?"

Harry nodded with an excited smile.
