Tesla always had the money to get whatever she wanted. When she was younger if it was a pony she'd get it. If it was a new bike, it was in front of her door in minutes. If it was a vacation to the Bahamas they would leave the next morning. Nothing was too extravagant for Daddy's little girl. When she was older, her wealth attracted all kinds of men and none very nice either. It didn't take her long to realize that no one wanted her affection, they just wanted her money. So, soon she just curled up into a little ball and didn't let anyone pass through. She was done playing games.

Magnetman had known that Tesla was like this from the moment he became her navi. Seldom did she talk of anything more or less then their plans of world domination and the like. Or when people found out her real age, and she got upset. But other then that, Tesla was a closed book, bound with lock and key and no way in. Granted, Magnetman also knew the reasons she was so distant. Realizing that your love life was nothing but money had to hurt, and Tesla wasn't a dumb girl, she knew when she was being used. He figured that one day she just decided she had enough and that was that.

"Tesla?" he asked one day while Tesla was typing on her keyboard.

"Yes?" she replied, raising an eyebrow. It wasn't very often when her navi interrupted her work.

"Are you feeling all right?"

Tesla sighed and rubbed her forehead, "I'm fine, why do you ask?"

"You seem very… distant lately," Magnetman said.

"Well, the Net Saviors are putting me under a lot of stress lately. That damn kid," she hissed pounding the desk with her fist making Magnetman jump.

"Tesla, maybe you should take a break," Magnetman suggested.

"I'll take a break when I very well feel like it!" Tesla said.

Magnetman sighed; Tesla had to be one of the most stubborn people on the planet.

Tesla opened her desk drawer to get a piece of paper; she eyed a dimensional chip underneath the folds and fingered it. "Hm," she said frowning.

"What is it, Tesla?" Magnetman asked.

Tesla shut the drawer with a snap, "Nothing of your concern," she hissed.

Magnetman was quiet; he had very well seen what Tesla was fingering. "Would you like me to be there with you?" he asked.

Tesla gave him an annoyed look. "No," she snapped. "I can handle everything myself."

Magnetman frowned, "Really?" he asked.

"Yes," Tesla turned her eyes back to the computer screen. She sighed and rubbed her eyes, the dull glow was beginning to give her a headache. "Besides, dimensional chips make the navis about twice as big," she sniffed.

Magnetman nodded, "That is true," he agreed.

Tesla continued to work, her headache getting worse and worse as time wore on. Finally, her vision blurred so bad that she had to stop. She sighed and stood up, "Well, that's it for tonight," she said.

"Yes, ma'am," Magnetman said and went back into his PET.

Tesla opened her drawer and pulled out the dimensional chip. "Magnetman?" she asked, looking at the chip.

"Yes?" Magnetman answered, not quite sure what she was looking at.

Tesla didn't reply, but instead put the chip into her PET and watched Magnetman appear. Magnetman raised an eyebrow, "What was that for?" he asked.

Tesla sighed, "I don't know, I just felt like doing it is all," she hissed.

Magnetman smiled and watched Tesla cross the spacious room and sit on the couch. "Tired?"

"Tired, yes I'm tired. I'm tired of loosing, I'm tired of all my plans backfiring, I'm tired of those damn kids and I'm especially tired of Neo WWW. Why am I doing this?" she asked, sounding for all the world like a little girl.

Magnetman went over and sat next to Tesla. The couch was well made and didn't creak under his weight. "Why are you doing this?" he asked.

"Because I want to prove to the world that Tesla Magnets is a woman who can hold her own." Tesla sighed, "But I'm beginning to doubt that."

Magnetman didn't know why he did what he did next but he knew that he didn't regret it. He leaned over and pulled his operator into a massive hug. Cradling her body and holding on tightly.

At first Tesla was surprised, but then she gave a small smile and leaned into the hug, even daring to hug the navi back. "You can still prove that," Magnetman said.

"I know," Tesla answered. "I can do whatever it takes to make it."

Magnetman smiled, she was back. But surprisingly, Tesla didn't let go of the embrace. "You know, you're the first person aside from my dad to hug me like this," she said wistfully.

"Like what?" Magnetman asked.

"Like you really care about me," Tesla answered.

Magnetman smiled and looked at his operator. "I do care about you," he said and hugged her again.
