Chapter 13: Forgiving
Jenny wishes she wasn't sitting next to Misty. After what she has done to her and Henry, she feels like she could just get her away from her, but no her teacher made her sit next to her. Maybe it was because they were both different from anyone else, but still. Both Brad and Sheldon could feel bad for their female robot friend as they could tell she couldn't hold it for longer. They know if Jenny is very angry, there was no telling what will happen for any longer. Luckily, the bell ring for the school day to end.
"Our alright class, don't forget to do your homework," said the teacher while the students made their way out of the door.
The students were walking in the hallway to exit the school. Jenny was walking with her friends Brad and Sheldon beside her.
"Hey Jenny, were you alright back there? It looks like you wanted to punch something," Brad said.
"Yeah, it looks like you wanted to shoot something with your laser guns," Sheldon added in.
"Was I that noticeable?" asked Jenny as her friend nod their heads. "I guess I was very irritated by the fact that Misty is here again. After what she has done to me and Henry, I couldn't forget her evil deed and now she wants to make up."
The two human friends knew that Jenny was having a hard time knowing two used to be enemies, and then they became friends, and now there back to being enemies. Not only that, but they knew that Jenny has a little grudge against her as of now due her previous battle with her in the city. They exit the school and begin to make their way home.
"Hey Jenny!"
The teenage robot pauses and turns around to see Misty running towards her. Brad and Sheldon were backing away to avoid what was going to happen between the robot and the alien. Misty stop in front of Jenny with a soft expression on her face as the familiar friends were facing eye to eye.
"Just hear me out Jenny. I'm sorry for what I have done. I really am," said Misty.
"If you were really sorry, then you shouldn't have hurt me and Henry the way you did," said Jenny
"I was so upset from our previous encounter and what about that cyborg guy? What does he have that I don't have?"
"Well, he's caring and kind enough to defend others with the only reward is the thanks for his deed."
"Alright Jenny, I know I'm not a hero type who just gets thanks, but you have to understand that I'm trying to live normally here on Earth."
"That doesn't help the fact that you wouldn't care for another person's life if they were on the line. You would betray those you love just to be on the top for game and fortune?!"
The two former friends were silently while Brad and Sheldon couldn't figure out a way to diffuse the situation. Misty clenches her fist as Jenny was too. The two were ready to unleash the hatred they have been holding for to result in a nasty brawl. However, Misty went down on her knees and begins to cry. Jenny was confused as Misty weep on the floor.
"I'm sorry Jenny! I didn't mean to hurt you or your friend. I didn't mean to break up our friendship, and I didn't mean to say all those things about you. I'm sorry!"
Jenny was dumbstruck from this sudden moody change, as well as Brad and Sheldon. They didn't know what to say, but they wanted to feel bad for her. Jenny felt sad to see her former friend break down. She knows that something it's hard to live in the world without knowing what you want to be or you are prevented from what you want to be. The robot then decides to make her move. She went down on her knees and wraps her arms around her.
"I'm sorry too for treating you like a villain," whispered Jenny as she could feel Misty's tears in her robotic shoulder. "I was just mad that you were just risking citizens' lives just for money."
The two hug closely to each other while Brad and Sheldon were happy to see the girls now stopping their hatred towards one another.
"Alright Henry, I'm going to do some test on you," said Nora Wakemen. "It allows me see how you can improve your abilities as a cyborg. Trust me, I was the one made this for beginners in the Skyway Patrol."
Henry nods as he outside of the Skyway Patrol wearing a blue tracksuit. He was looking at the machine that was in front of him. The machine was a large robot that stood in seven feet tall and had large arms and legs. Henry didn't look scare while he was ready to take it on. Nora then blows a whistle for Henry to quickly rush at the robot. The robot quickly reacted by running towards Henry with big stomps. The half human half robot hybrid quickly jump on top of the robot and was about to use his elbow, but he was quickly grab by the robot and he was throw to the floor.
"Test subject was quick enough and could jump good to get on the robot," Nora spoke as she was taking notes.
Henry grunts in pain before he rolls away from an incoming punch from the robot. He stood up to his feet and glare at the robot. The robot then held its arms out to show large mini-gun like weapon. Henry widen his eyes before he quickly start to run as the robot begins to fire out large paint balls. Henry runs around the robot with the many paint balls following on his trail.
"Henry is fast enough to avoid paint balls that were shooting in the same speed as a bullet," Nora continued to take notes.
Henry had to stop the robot from hitting him, so he decides to rush at it. The robot continues to shoot as Henry moves side to side to avoid the paint balls. The cyborg then finally jumps on to its arms and knees its face. It was trying to balance itself as Henry then made his next move. He jumps behind it and push it to the side. Henry then try to move in front of it, but the robot stop shooting paint balls and brought its arms down to him. Henry quickly grabs hold of the arms as he was struggling to stand. The robot arms were so heavy that the cyborg was down on his knees to hold it.
"Hmm, Henry could hold the robot's arms that are weight in 1.6 tons."
Henry then glares at the robot as he use it arms to jump above the robot and kick it. The robot tries to gain balance, but it fell hard on the ground to cause it to shake. Henry was surprised to see he was getting better. He never thought that he would be sparring with a motionless robot, but he never though he would become a hero to a city.
"God job Henry, it looks like that new energy generator is working for you," said Nora as Henry gave her a thumb up.
Henry pull up his shirt to see his stomach had been stitch up. The new energy generator has help Henry not lose much energy like he used to do. In fact, it allows him to actually eat food and drink any drink he wants. Plus, he feels like his abilities have been upgraded as well. He feels like he can take down one billion and one people and he would still be freshening up.
"Alright Henry, I think you should take a break. I got everything in my notes," said Nora as she wave her notes.
Henry was happy to have people help him. He thought he had to feel lonely for the rest of his life, but know he was people who could help him live normally as he can help them with their random alien problems. He looks at the sky and breathes in the fresh air from his test. As he was relaxing, he notices something from the sky descending. He doesn't know what is it, but it looks like a triangle and like it's coming down fast. Henry then begins to run to the direction of the strange object.
"Where are you going-" Nora stopped as she sees a familiar space ship in the sky. "Oh no."
