Chapter 35: My Life As Teenaged Dust
Jenny Wakerman, X-J9, was a robot and in a panic. Her sensor went off all at once; she detected something and also didn't detect anything. That paradox almost made her whole system crash, but she didn't have time to worry about that. All around her, people just started to dissolve into dirt.
It wasn't an attack; no one was doing anything; it was just happening.
She saw Brad and Tuck dissolve and tried to push the thoughts away. There were accidents from what followed, so many people scared and needing help. She spent the next few hours trying to help; she saw other heroes helping out, The Silver Shell and the remaining Team Teens.
It was already dark when she got home; she went to her mother's lab.
"Mom?"
She found the short older lady fixing her class, "X-J9?"
Dr. Wakeman was Jenny's creator and one of the world's greatest scientists.
Wakeman was working at her computer with Sheldon next to her. They were both looking through data, and they seemed very tired. Sheldon looked ready to collapse.
"You did good work," Wakeman said, very proudly.
Jenny was a little surprised, Sheldon was crushing on her hard but didn't react to her, he must have been really out of it. Jenny couldn't blame him; this was a horrible day for everyone. Sheldon had recently got himself the position of Wakeman's assistant.
In a nearby chair slept a purple alien girl known as Misty, she was a member of Team Teen, well was. Misty quit and freelanced and did hero work for money. Jenny did see her helping people today; Jenny guessed that she wasn't cold-hearted enough not to help during something like this.
"What's she doing here?" Jenny motioned to Misty.
"Uh," Sheldon coughed up, "We found her ready to drop, and we let her rest."
"Okay,"
Sheldon sighed in relief, Sheldon was also the Silver Shell in secret. He made a mech suit to try and use it to impress Jenny; it didn't work. Over time and many failures, he started to realize that Jenny wasn't going to like him like that. Though he kept the suit and try to be a good hero, he hired Misty to be his tutor and helping out. Wakeman found out and helped and respected his wishes that she did not tell Jenny about it. It certainly didn't help that Jenny and Misty had a big falling out. Misty was a tough teacher and forced Sheldon to grow, she seemed like a demon at had become friends; Sheldon was glad Misty hadn't vanished like so many others.
Jenny refocused herself, "What happened?"
Wakeman coughed, "I don't know, no one knows. It hit everywhere at the same time, and I do mean everywhere. We are getting distress signals from other worlds like Cluster Prime."
Sheldon continued, "It hit half to population, human, animal, alien, it didn't matter. Just half is gone."
Sheldon looked on the screen just lost; he knew people in space and didn't know if they were okay or not.
Jenny was the defender of the world; that was why she was made for. But she was used to fighting whatever threat, what was she supposed to do here?
Author's Notes: Hey, look whose back. Okay, so notes. I'm doing another time skip with this show. I'm doing some character work on Sheldon here, letting him try and move on from his sometimes creepy crush and become a hero. Like a much nerdier Iron Man, plus a small redemption with Misty. Let me know what you guys think. I liked Sheldon and thought they didn't do enough with him, he was a secret super hero, a spy and for like two life times a space pirate. Why didn't they do more with him? Anyway I'm going to try to post a chapter a day until I'm done. I only have a few more snaps stories to finish up my list. So leave a review and tell me what you guys think, reviews really do help motivate me.
Q&A
I have been doing some of your request but some I just can't do. I either know nothing of series and the research I've done isn't helping me get the characters or the world mechanics. Or I just have no good ideas, my best was that Code Lyoko someone kept trying to rewind time to revert the snap, but that felt really boring. it would have been two short paragraphs. Same with Death Note, I just couldn't come up with anything to do. Naruto, I don't know that series at all, I've tried to get into it and I can't same with Code Geass. Some series I just couldn't get the characters or settings, well enough that I would do a good job writing them.
