okay. First the disclaimer. I do not own Metropolis or any of the
characters except Summer. She is mine and is somewhat based on me. Now this
story is just something that was created out of the boredom of school. I
hope you like because I found it interesting. Well enough babble and onto
the story. Please R&R
It had been a month since Winter had died. Rock was down in Zone I of Metropolis. This, he thought to himself, is the first time I have been down here since 'she' died. His hatred of robots had grown considerably fiercer. It was their fault, if those damn robots hadn't malfunctioned she wouldn't have been there and then she wouldn't have been shot. They still didn't know whose bullet it was that had taken her life. Anger burned at the thought. "She was innocent! Why did she have to die!?" He hadn't realized he had shouted it out until he saw people were staring. He moved on quickly, cursing himself. This wasn't the type of place you wanted to draw attention to yourself.
As Rock continued walking aimlessly about he heard a shout of surprise from behind him. He turned and saw a girl being lifted by a waste management robot. Her shout of surprise turned to one of anger when it then tried to shove her in a garbage disposal unit. Rock sighed and pulled out his gun. Moping or not he had a duty to preform, and besides his ribs still weren't fully healed from the last time Duke Red had disciplined him for slacking. He shot the robot and watched the girl slip from the smoking things grasp. She hit the ground with a thud but quickly stood and dusted herself off trying to act like nothing had happened. She saw Rock putting away his gun and started walking towards him.
He couldn't help comparing her with Winter as she tripped and ungracefully recoverd herself, then continued walking towards him. This girl had shoulder length plain brown hair, looked like any other normal girl, and was a complete klutz. Winter had long, silvery bluish hair, pale skin, and was very graceful and gentle. There was only one thing about the girl walking towards him that stood out. She had vibrant purple eyes.
She walked up to him and extended a hand. "Hiya, my name is Summer and I would like to thank you for saving me from that robot." "My name is Rock and it's my job to take care of the robots who are disturbing the peace." He was starting to regret saving her. He tryed to just walk away but she followed him like an annoying fly. "Oh! So you're a Malduk huh? Hey, I bet you know the city pretty well. I got lost lost while exploring and I was wondering if you would help me find my way home." "Um... I don't - " But he was cut off. "Great lets go! I think it's this way!" She grabbed his arm and drug him, cursing, toward the block up to the surface level of the city.
She had drug him all over the living area of the surface city before she remmemberd that her house was in Zone I. By the time they found her house Rock was starting to get used to the company of the overly-hyper girl. When they were standing outside the door of the building Summer started saying her goodbyes. "Well, I gotta go now Rock." "Wait, do you thyink you could meet me tommorow, just outside the Ziggeraught?" Summer looked thoughtful for a moment. "Sure, Rock, I'll see you then. Bye!" Then she went inside leaving Rock standing there alone. As he started walking home a hint of a smile crept onto his face.
"Hiya Atlas!" Summer called to a man who looked to be about in his late teens to early twentys. "Another robot tried to throw me away again today." Atlas snorted and started laughing. "Hey! It's not funny Atlas!" I'm sorry Summer I just can't help it. The thought of a robot trying to throw you away is pretty entertaining." "Well at least a Malduk was there to save me." "Really?" "Yeah! His name was Rock and he helped me find my way back here to." "Really? Are you sure it was Rock?" Atlas asked incredulous. "Yeah, positive." "Unbelieveable. Maybe he really is human after all." "What do you mean?" "Well, ever since that one girl died he's been so cold and cruel." "Oh. I didn't notice." Thats nothing new, Atlas thought, she usually doesn't notice anything. "Oh yeah! Guess what Atlas? Rock wants me to meet him again. Tommorow. At the Ziggeraught. I guess it's getting late so I'd better go to bed now. G 'night Atlas!" And she went into the other room before Atlas could say anything.
Atlas smiled. Maybe she had broke through to Rock. She sometimes had that effect on people. He had changed to since she had moved in with him. When she and her parents had first moved to Metropolis they had lived on the surface level. Summer had been lined up to attend the best schools and everything else. Her family had been relatively wealthy. That might account for someone murdering her parents he thought bitterly. For when they were murderd the family lost its money because the athorities claimed Summer was too young to inherit it. So faced with the prospect of being put into an orphanage Summer ran away. Then one day he found her and she had been living with him since.
