Ch. 2 Home Welcoming

"Well, Sally, Dr. Miyamoto seems to care for your safety as much as I would," Dr. Gilmore said after reading the letter Sally had given him. They were all at the mansion after their short battle with 0018. "0018, make yourself feel right at home and we'll arrange to get you a room of your own tomorrow, but for tonight you can sleep in the living room until then." Sally nodded in agreement. "Where's the kitchen?" She asked. "It's just to your left, but I wouldn't go there if I were you," Dr. Gilmore warned.

"Why not?"

"006 is in there, he's our chef here sort of speak."

"Oh. Do you mind if I look around?"

"Not at all, feel free to look around."

As soon as Jet heard this he quickly leaned on the door blocking her way out. "Uh, excuse me, 002," Sally said. She stood there in front of him waitng for him to move a side. He just stood there looking at the floor acting as if he couldn't hear her. "Okay, I was gonna let you move without getting hurt but," she began. Then she shoved him away from the door. "Whoa! Oof..." Jet fell over to the side and hit the floor. "Serves you right," she quietly said walking out the door. "That broad!" 002 quickly got up on his feet and cursed a bit more. "Now now, 002 she's just a girl, she deserves respect."Spike calmed down a bit. "After all she is only a teenager and it's been difficult for her being new to her new cyborg life," Dr. Gilmore said. "Your right..." 002 began. "Good." "BUT that's still no excuse that she could toss me aside like that!" "Your impossible, 002," 009 said. "My words exactly," commented Dr. Gilmore.

0018 walked up the stairs of the mansion. She looked in every room of the mansion. When she looked through every room but 002's; she noticed most of them were neat. 002's on the other hand when she approached his room was slight messier than the other's. Clothes were scattered across on side and on the bed. "What a pig..." She looked around the room again and noticed a picture with Jet, from before he was a cyborg, and his friends. They were all gathered together and one of them was in a head lock and was given a noogie by Jet. Foot steps were heard behind her. "Your pretty nosey aren't you?" smugged Jet. "Oh, I-I'm sorry, you should've told me to stay out before," Sally said innocently. "And besides, your the one who's NOSEY." She pointed to his nose. "Right. Whatever," he said. He glanced at her as she looked away. Sally continued staring at the room avoiding his glance.

"We all realize that Black Ghost is gonna go after her as well as the rest of us," said 009. "Yes, I'm well aware of that and I'm sure Dr. Miyamoto was too." Dr. Gilmore and the other cyborgs stayed in the living room while 002 followed 0018. "Sally was from San Fransisco, California, U.S.A. She had plans about being a singer." Dr. Gilmore read the letter again, "She was abducted by Black Ghost before her shot at finally becoming a singer." "The poor girl, dreams crushed by Black Ghost, just like the rest of us," 003 said with a tone of sympathy. "Yes," agreed 004. They all had dreams they want to accomplish, and ever since they've come across Black Ghost their dreams were never to become reality now that they have to fight for their lives to prevent Balck Ghost from taking their lives. "DINNER'S READY!" shouted 006 cheerfully.

Hearing 006, "Dinner should be ready soon," Jet said breaking the moments silence. "Oh, okay."

It was dinner time and as usual 006 made some sort of Chinese cuisine. "Dig in!" he said serving platters of the food. 0018 quietly ate from her plate. "How's your food 0018?" asked 008. "It's good," she replied. She was almost quiet. "Are you okay 0018? You seem almost quiet." 004 said with concern. They all looked at her. "It's nothing, I'm just tired. And the fact that I'm a quiet person," she answered. "Are you kidding? With your supersonic waves you hardly quiet!" complemented 002. Sally blushed a bit but it wasn't noticable. She wasn't sure it was a complement but it made her feel a little better about being around the other cyborgs. "I'm going to bed." She pulled out of her seat then pushed her chair in under the table. 'Why was he nice to me all of the sudden like that, at least, I think he was?' she thought while walking to the living room. "Good night, 0018," said Dr. Gilmore. "Night."

She sat on the couch staring at the floor. She remembered her friends and family and how they always supported her dreams of becoming a singer. A few were jealous of her dreams but she would just ignored them because she knew they were trying to make her feel bad about her dreams. Now that she's a cyborg running for her dear life with these other rebel cyborgs she will never live her dream.

The window suddenly opened. "Long time no see Ateen..." said a voice. "What do you want, 0019?" she said turning her glance towards the figure that stood at the window. "Black Ghost isn't too happy with your betrayal, Ateen. He says your fate will be like the rebel cyborg's own..." he began. Sally then finished for him, " 'Hunted then killed?' "

"As you already know, but unless, this is part of some sort of plan we're not aware of... like a sneak attack?"

Sally glared at the male blonde with short hair.

"I'm gonna go check on 18, is that alright Doc.?" 002 asked. "All right, but don't make too much noise, she might be asleep." "Okay," Jet agreed. Just when Jet approached the living room door he heard voices on the inside from the door. He placed his ear on the door. He could hear 18's own voice and a male's. 002 opened the door slightly just to see who it was 0018 was talking to.

In the kitchen, "I think 002 is starting to respect and understand 0018," 003 said finishing her dish. "Uh huh, I agree, although it may have seen the two might not have gotten along so quickly it seems that 002 may have shown 0018 a change of heart for his actions earlier," added 004. "I think so, but let's not forget, Sally may not be use to you all as quickly as you all are used to her. She's still worried about what might happen to Dr. Miyamoto if Black Ghost found out that her betrayal was his idea." Dr. Gilmore then left the table. "I'm going to get some shut eye." The cyborgs present at the table nodded.

Back outside the living room, Jet peered through the opened door to see who Sally was talking to. At this time he heard 0019 say, "...Like a sneak attack?" Jet was curious about Sally was about to say. "No, not exactly...I was thinking of earning their trust in helping destory Black Ghost's evil forces, namely, you," 0018 said. 002 wasn't sure wether or not what 0018 was true, that or she was sarcastic. He had to do something so he just open the door wide open without thinking about what was going to happen next. "JET! You fool!" Sally cried as 0019 fired his blaster. Sally shoved him out of the way without getting hit. Sally rolled on to her feet and fires her blaster at 0019. 0019 falls back. 0018 gets off her knees as soon as Jet does. "0019!" 0018 said. The tone of her voice was vengeful. She walks to the window to see where the cyborg had fallen. No body was found lying at the ground. "He escaped," she said almost grim. She then to the oranged haired cyborg. "Are you okay?" Jet was fixing his outfit a bit. "Yeah, but no thanks to you." By the tone of his voice, Sally could tell 002 was angered. 'He probably thinks I'm like some sort of traitor.'
