Its Just a Machine Chapter two

By: Yugisgirl89

Johnny five left the scene where Newton Crosby died and a young woman cried. "Is he right, am I just a machine?" In the distance his small tracker automatically popped out of the side of his head.

"The police are coming… Stephanie is safe," said Johnny out loud as he trekked himself further away from the scene. Snow was beginning to fall first lightly then the winds perked up making the snow harsh. He could not feel the sharp coldness of the howling wind or coolness of the wet snow. But he could feel his gadgets slowly getting stiff.

Cars were passing him on the freeway as he took the exit of lookout pass and strained his mechanical body to maneuver himself on to look out Pass Bridge.

In his mind he timed that it took him 30 minuets for him to reach the bridge as he looked down on the freeway seeing the tops of cars zooming underneath him, except one, one turned to the exit and parked in front of Johnny five. But Johnny wouldn't tell what the car looked like for snow has fogged and frozen part of his mechanical eyebrows then he blacked out.

Johnny opened his eyes and focused his vision. He saw machines all around him and could tell by the lighting that the area he was in was eerie and dark.

He was about to move but was jolted to a stop. Looking down he saw that chains were connected to his arms And that some of his mechanical parts were still frozen from the cold environment.

In the distance he saw a door open. He focused his eyes to see what was in front of him and saw a girl being pushed in the room. She was a young with deformed arm and hand and wearing an artificial leg at her left side. What surprised Johnny was her face; her visage almost looked exactly like Stephanie's.

"Who are you," Johnny questioned and the woman jumped.

"Who said that," murmured the frightened woman.

"I did."

The woman walked up to him her eyes all wide.

Johnny snickered remembering his first encounterment with Stephanie….

He had just escaped from Nova's grasp, floating down from a parachute he landed on top of some sort of truck. The truck did many twists and turns on the roads that led him to an old house across from a big bridge.

He looked at the view surprised and awed with all of its beauty. Then he heard a slam of the door and a woman jumped out of the car. Next thing he saw was the woman who jumped out of the car with a bat hitting a red convertible next to him.

She was kicking and screaming as a tall man was pushing her away from the car throwing her in the mud. Then the man disappeared into the car and sped away from the house. The woman in frustration went inside the house.

He wanted to go inside the building but needed to find a way to get out. He scanned the top of the truck and saw an opening. He opened the latch and fell right in the car. Inside the car was a little kitchen with a small sink and food both packaged and canned on top and inside the coboards.

Curoius Johnny played around with the food. As he was playing a door opened up and a woman slowly came in her eyes all wide and smiling," Welcome to America… I'm Stephanie… come with me…."

Johnny stared at the woman oblivious of what was going on except yelling. Yelling for what?

"Um, March, heel… Uh Forward."

"Forward!" Cried Johnny and he maneuvered forward.

The woman was a few feet close to him now and he saw her features clearly," Did you speak?"

"Yes," nodded Johnny.

The woman smiled her eyes lit up as she hugged the machine.

"Wow! This is amazing! Thank you daddy!"

'Daddy,' though Johnny as he looked onward to see a man in the distance grinning from ear to ear.
