Monday morning, a morning on a day that Jenny actually hoped wouldn't come. It seemed inevitable that she would receive all kinds of comments on the fact that she wasn't able to capture The Mudslinger. She definitely didn't want to hear any of it.
As she headed towards her first class, she was greeted with many awkward looks from some of the students in hallways. The awkward looks, to her, were in some ways, just as bad as the comments. Not only did she get the looks from students, but faculty as well.
Even when she walked into the classroom, she was greeted with the very same kind of look from Mr. Tier.
After a few seconds of staring at each other, Mr. Tier finally said "I can see the look of anger in your eyes Jennifer. I take it you've already gotten this kind of treatment since you arrived at school. The only reason I did it was to let you know that this is most likely going to take place all day, and probably longer. I don't plan on saying anything about what happened Friday, because I know you don't want to hear it. I just want you to know that hoping for the best in this case won't really do you any good. If I could help stop it from happening, I would. It's just something you're going to have to endure until it's over. I just hope you don't let your anger get the best of you."
"Trust me; I'm definitely trying to hold it in. It's not so bad yet, but I know it's gonna be," Jenny said as she took her seat.
-----------------------------
By lunch time, Jenny was pretty close to losing her temper. She tried her best not to make it seem too obvious in her expression and actions.
In an attempt to avoid meeting with the Krust Cousins, she chose to sit in the outside eating area. Brit and Tiff usually never chose the outside area, so they most likely wouldn't choose it today. At least she hoped so anyway.
After a few minutes of sitting to herself, she heard Brad's voice behind her saying "Yeah, I thought I'd find you out here today."
Brad sat across the table from Jenny and started eating some of his spaghetti.
"Yep, you guessed right. I'm out here to try to stay away from the Krusts…again. You guess it right every time. It's the main reason I come out here in the first place," Jenny said with a very strong hint of irritation in her voice.
"Whoa, try to calm down. I know you're upset, but you need to try to relax. You're pretty dangerous when you lose your temper," Brad said.
"I'm well aware of that, but I can barely take it anymore. I hardly ever get a break as it is; and now that I make one mistake, everybody's on my case. They act like they've never made any mistakes in their lives," Jenny said becoming increasingly more angry.
"Well, it is true. We do make mistakes," Brit's voice could be heard from far behind Jenny.
Jenny remained quite. At this point she was using a great amount of her will power to keep from hurting Brit. She had a great feeling that Brit was going to say something that was going to make her completely lose it this time. She tried to pretend as though the Krusts weren't there, so she didn't even turn around to face them.
"We humans can't even afford the mistakes that we do make; and when the so-called heroes make mistakes, we suffer a lot more for it," Brit said coldly.
"I still cannot understand how you can continue saying such mean and hateful things about Jenny," Sheldon said angrily as he walked in through another door.
Everyone focused their attention on Sheldon.
"Oh, look Brit. It's lover boy again. I still can't see how you can continue to be in love with a robot," Tiff said.
"First of all, I don't care about what you think of my preferences anymore. As to exactly why I prefer her over human women is not a tale for people like you. I heard about what happened Friday, and I also heard about the fact that Jenny's been catching hell for it ever since. As many times as she has saved all of our lives, we should be thanking her. Honestly Jenny, I don't know how you can put up with it. If it were me, I would've probably waited for an invasion, and left everyone here on Earth to be murdered or enslaved as a punishment for their lack of gratitude," Sheldon said.
"You wouldn't really do that, would you?" Brit said worriedly.
"Yeah man, that's pretty mean," a male student also said worriedly.
"Mean? Don't make me laugh. If I recall correctly, you are also one of the one's that says some pretty mean things to Jenny pretty often," Sheldon said.
"Whatever dude. I'm not going to sit around and listen to this shit. Let's get outta here," the male student said to the other two students sitting at the table with him.
As they were heading towards an exit, Sheldon said "Where are you going? We just got started."
The trio said nothing and left the area.
"You know Sheldon, you're getting to be a little too brave for your own good. That guy was about three times your size. He could've snapped you in two," Brit said.
At that moment, Brad noticed oil spilling from the sides of the can that Jenny was putting deep dents in. He looked back up at Jenny's face to see that she was being filled with a terrible rage. Jenny was at her maddest when the black color in the colored portion of her eyes turned white, and they were slowly losing their color.
A very nervous Brad whispered "Jen…Jenny.
He wasn't getting through to her at all. He called out to her repeatedly, but nothing worked.
"Hey Brit, robo girl aint said a word since we been out here," Tiff pointed out.
"I noticed. I sure hope you aren't crying over there XJ9," Brit said sarcastically.
Both Brit and Tiff started laughing and the laughter from the other students in the area followed afterwards. At that moment, both Brad and Sheldon both saw something they would probably never forget. The color of Jenny's irises and pupils turned completely white, her facial expression was more furious than they had ever seen before, and she crushed the can with enough force to splatter the oil all over the table, some on herself, and some on Brad. All of her internal motors started spinning at top speed making a terrible screeching noise.
Jenny got up and turned facing Brit, and then yelled "That's it!"
Before anyone could see what happened, Jenny was standing right in front of Brit with one of her fists in the wall that Brit was leaning against. Some of the students stood up as a reflex action, but no one could say anything. The same thing with the other students and faculty that were in the inside seating area as they were watching this event take place through the windows. Brit was terrified at this point, so much so, that she couldn't react. Jenny yelled again, and started punching the wall behind Brit with amazing speed. No one could really see the punches as they appeared to only be blurs. After about seven seconds, Jenny stopped and lifted Brit into the air by her jacket. That was when Brit's clothes finally revealed that Jenny was purposefully ripping them as well while she seemed to only be aiming at the wall.
"Seriously Jenny, don't do it. You'll kill her," Brad yelled.
After hearing a few more of the same pleas, Jenny yelled "Shut up, all of you!"
They did as they were told, and then Jenny yelled "You are seriously fucking lucky I didn't completely lose control Brit. I'm pretty sure your ears are ringing like crazy right now because of how much damage I caused to the wall. Just one of those punches would've splattered your head all over the place. Out of all my enemies, you are the only one I've considered killing. Even Vexus, as evil as she is, I never once seriously considered ending her life. The only thing that's prevented me from doing what I'm doing now before was the fact I devoted my life to protecting human life. Sure my mom programmed me to protect you all, but it was me who made the decision to stay that course."
Jenny then grinned and yelled "And you, do you really think that you'd still be rich right now if I had did what Sheldon said letting the Cluster take over as a punishment for your lack of gratitude. When I say your, I do of course mean the whole human race. In fact, it's really your dad that's rich. You just happen to be his spoiled daughter. The Cluster would've stripped him of his valuables, a lifetime's worth of work taken from him in an instant. That would leave you with nothing. You would then either have been killed or forced into a lifetime of slavery, most likely doing forced labor. Oh, wait, you would actually have most likely been killed. Since you most likely have never done a day's work in your life, your body would be too weak to do the labor they would demand. They wouldn't have a use for you then. Is that a little too much reality for you?" Jenny asked as tears of fear started rolling down Brit's face.
Jenny blocked a chair that Tiff attacked Jenny with. She grabbed the chair and tossed it to the side.
"Let Brit go dammit," Tiff yelled.
Tiff was also scared that she was going to lose her cousin to the wrath of the robot that was supposed to protect them.
"You know you can't beat me Tiff. I can survive bombs, and you think a cheaply made plastic and stainless steel chair is going to hurt me. You aren't even the one that I'm angry at. In fact, I pity you. The only reason you say most of the crap that you say to me, is that you feel somehow secure with Brit standing around, and the fact that one of the big guys in this school might protect you. Brit can't protect you Tiff. You are at least twice as strong as she is, or haven't you realized that yet. I've heard about you before you started living with Brit. You were a shy, scared little girl with no parents. You were poor and lived in foster care until Brit came and rescued you. I don't know exactly how you turned from being shy and scared to what you are now. But as I was saying, I've considered killing you only because you kept pushing the issue until the walls of my restraint started coming down Brit. You, out of all the people I've met, you are the only one to ever push me to this point. But no, I won't kill you, but you better watch yourself from now on. One of these days, you might just push me to this point again, or further. I'm sure you don't want the latter," Jenny said as she slowly put Brit back down on her feet.
Jenny's internal motors slowed down to normal speed, her eyes returned to their normal color, and she let go of Brit's Jacket. Brit dropped to her knees still terrified as Tiff ran to her side.
"You okay girlfriend? Tiff asked softly.
Brit turned her head towards Tiff and nodded.
"I don't expect an apology from either of you right now, and I really don't want it. It would seem more like an insult hearing that from you two considering how sarcastic you usually are. I'll pay for your clothes and I'll fix this wall, but it'll have to wait. I'm still pissed off," Jenny said with a strong hint of anger still left in her voice.
Jenny turned around ready to walk away when she said one more thing "And just what the hell do you know about me crying anyway Brit? I can't cry."
Everybody realized just then how serious that limitation was and a lot of them started feeling sorry for her. And with that said, Jenny stormed out of the eating area and Brad and Sheldon followed after her. It took a few minutes for everyone else to regain their usual composures and continue on with their usual activities, for that event was one they would probably never forget.
