Nora stared at the static monitor in shock. Obviously it wasn't the first time Jenny had willingly harmed herself to get her mom to leave her alone. But never when the earth was actually in danger. Nora sighed and clicked another button the the giant key pad in front of her. The static screen flicked to a blue map of the town. A white dot was located just on the edge of the map and was labeled 'XJ-9'. She quickly stood up and started out of the door.
the trek up the mountain was harder than Nora had previously expected. It would obviously be easy for her daughter seeing as she could fly up to it, and over the skeletal dragons mutilating the town. Eventually Nora made it to the bit of the mountain Jenny was camping out on. She quickly acknowledged her mother's entrance by standing up and backing up to the edge of the mountain's cliff, ready to take off at any given moment. "I can tell you're upset XJ- uhm, Jenny" Nora stated "Why don't you just stop the dragons and we can talk about it?" She offered, smiling sweetly. Jenny's response was half expected and half dreaded by Nora. "Why should I save them? They never respect me for anything! On top of that lots of those people down there just want me shut down!" Her cheeks were turning a deep cyan with fury. "Yes well of course not everybody is going to want to accept you, but if you destroy those dragons I'm sure they'll-" Jenny didn't allow her mother to finish. "I'm done being a hero mom" She said before taking off again.
"teenagers..." Nora muttered to herself, before taking out a small box with a few buttons out of her pocket. She promptly pressed one labeled "rockets". Her daughter was instantly no longer lifting in the air. In fact she was falling. After a few moments of confusing air time she crashed into one of the many buildings below her, getting thrown right trough the roof. The top metal on her head that had slime on it was knocked off on impact, leaving a cracked area surrounding it. multiple wires were also exposed as a result.
The wires that showed were already damaged from the slime as well, leaking electricity into the air. After Jenny regained herself, she noticed she was covered in purple paint. She stood up and rubbed her head before realizing she smeared the still dripping paint. She quickly removed her hand and looked at the surrounding building she was in. It took her a second to get her vision back completely, though she was still able to tell that the place was empty. "What was I thinking...?" She said to herself. " I gotta go stop those dragons." she added before starting to get up. She failed to notice the paint was still dripping on her though. as she got up she banged her head on a half broken shelf, which quickly gave way when she did so and sent the bucket of paint on her head as well. The showing wires shocked her as the paint seeped into them, quickly she removed the now empty bucket from her head before it caused more damage. She wiped the paint out of her eyes, seeing most of her body covered in a thick purple layer. She looked up to see the showing wires now smoking. Getting up again, she started out the door leaving purple foot-prints on her way out. The second there was any light hitting her, she was grabbed and taken to the side of the building she just got out of. "Jenny! are you okay?" a familiar voice asked her. She wiped more paint out of her eyes and saw who it was. "Jen?" he asked again as Jenny wiped some paint away from her mouth. "out of my way Brad I'm busy!" she growled and quickly covered her mouth in shock of what she just said. "okay okay Jen, I just saw you fall through the roof and stuff and... Yeah I'm stalling you go ahead" Jenny's head ticked a bit as the showing wires cracked and threw a couple sparks "Yeah I know you are" she said before jumping up with expectations of flying. Her jets only gave a black puff of smoke and nothing more. "Uhhh Jen? You sure you're okay?" Brad asked while helping her up again.
After helping Jenny up he noticed the sparking wires on her head. "Guh.. yes I'm sure!" She barked at him, her head ticking again. "Whatever you say Jen" Brad said walking away the opposite from where he grabbed her from. Jenny turned and tried her rockets again. She gave up quickly and walked right from the direction she came from, running right into Nora once more.
"XJ-9" She started formally. "How dare you fly away from me when I'm talking to you! Just look what came of it, you're covered in paint now! which I suppose is partially my fault but that's not the point." She continued. Jenny glared at Nora before her head ticked again, the patch on it throwing sparks about like electric confetti. Nora's attention was immediately changed from annoyance to worry. "XJ-9 what happened to you? other than the paint, you were perfectly fine when you were in your room." She asked taking a step closer to her daughter. "Things happen mom, people change. I changed. I don't wanna be a hero anymore. And I'm not going to be!" Jenny snapped at Nora attempting to fly off again, her rockets only giving a tired puff of smoke but otherwise failing completely. "I turned your rockets off XJ-9..." Nora said in an annoyed tone. "Typical... Then if you're just gonna try to hurt me then... Just go away!" Jenny shouted just before a skeletal foot crashed right next to her.
