Jazzerman here, I do not own any of these characters, they are owned by their respected companies, blah, blah, blah. You've heard this crap before. I DO own Jonny Wily. If you'd like to use him in a fic, just tell me.

But I do own this story.

A Wily tale, the beginning.

Part 9

Jonny's run in with Miss McKain lifted his spirits for a while but a few days afterwards he was once again down trodden by the fact that he was related to Dr. Wily and the dug up memories of his parent's violent deaths.

Jonny had begun taking walks during the time between his lessons with Dr. Light. He'd wander the streets for an hour or so then return to the house to continue what Dr. Light was teaching him. Perhaps he was hoping to run into Zoe again, or maybe it was something else. Jonny would just wander until the alarm on his watch would go off then head back. This was routine for several weeks before one day...

Jonny was on his regular route around town once again lost in his thoughts. As he passed by the hospital however he heard a familiar voice that snapped him out of his trance. Jonny looked over towards the main entrance to see two burly men pulling a red haired nurse robot out of the hospital's doors and towards a beaten up truck.

"Please, I have patients to treat!" The nurse begged, attempting to go back into the hospital against the men's wishes. "Can't you come back for me in a few hours?"

"Sorry but you're warranty is up and the hospital wants you gone." One of the men said dryly. His hard stare gave the nurse the impression that he really didn't care about what she wanted to do.

Jonny wasted no time crossing the street via jaywalking (thankfully there where no police officers nearby) and rushing over to the men. "Excuse me sirs, what might you be doing with this medical unit?"

One of the workmen turned to Jonny. His hard eyes and gruff appearance gave Jonny the impression that he was an easily irritable man. "We're taking this robot to be disposed of. Now if you don't mind we have to get moving."

"I knew this nurse a few years ago... May I speak with her for a moment? Alone..." Jonny pleaded.

The workmen frowned at the young man. But the chance for a short break from work was too appealing to pass up. Jonny and the nurse watched as the men walked across the street to sit on one of the benches in the park and began to smoke their cigarettes.

Jonny turned back to the nurse that had taken care of him once upon a time. "So... Do you remember me at all? I mean you must have had many, many patients since I was in the hospital."

The medical robot nodded. "I remember. I save all the information on every patient I've ever treated. You're Jonathan Alvis-"

"Please, don't speak my last name out loud... I know what my grandfather has done and I know why those horrible people did what they did to my..." Jonny stopped. The image of that fateful night was still too horrible to dwell on.

"I'm sorry. I know it must've been hard on you." The red headed robot looked down at the ground. She hated that her protocols where still running. She wanted to say more. "Still, I'm glad that you've become a handsome young man."

Jonny blushed at that statement. He hadn't expected something like that to come from her. "Uh... thanks... Is there anything I can do to save you from being scrapped?"

The nurse shook her head. "It's hospital policy to dispose of all medical units once they have passed their ten year mark. They have to make way for newer models."

"I'm sorry..." Jonny said. He had wanted to at least make her passing a little comfortable. But he had no tools to do so. "I wish I could take you home with me. You where so nice to me back when you took care of me and I was so ungrateful."

The nurse shook her head. All the while smiling at him with a warm maternal look in her eyes. "You where six years old, you where beaten by complete strangers, and you lost the only people who loved you unconditionally. It's understandable why you acted the way you did. Don't worry. I don't blame you for any wrong doings."

The descendant of Dr. Wily looked over at the workmen. They where putting out their cigarettes and where walking back towards Jonny and the out of date medical unit. They had obviously grown tired of waiting and once they returned they would take her away to be taken apart.

Jonny looked back to the nurse. "Nurse... Can I ask you a hypothetical question?"

The nurse smiled gently at the young man she had once cared for years ago. "Of course Jonny."

Jonny gulped. This was going to sound stupid, but asking it now would be better than wondering what her answer would have been later. "Let's say that you where human when I was in the hospital... Would you have tried to adopt me?"

The Nurse smiled and gave the young man a gentle hug. "Of course I would've... I just wish I had been born a human instead of built in a lab..."

Jonny hugged the robot back as he looked at the situation before him for a second. He quickly came to this conclusion; Jonny decided that he should tell her what she wanted to hear. He wanted her to be happy just as she wanted him to be. "Good bye... Mother..."

The nurse gave Jonny a reassuring squeeze before going with the men to be decommissioned... But Jonny could swear that she had tears running down her cheeks. Which everyone said couldn't be done. She didn't have any tear ducts. He must have been seeing things. Suddenly Jonny's watch alarm went off. Time to go home.

As he walked up the sidewalk to the house he saw Mega man sitting on the grass looking at the clouds.

"Is everything okay Jonny?" Mega man asked as Jonny passed him on his way to the house. Quickly noting the thoughtful look on the young man's face.

Jonny nodded. "I'm fine. Just ran into an old friend on my walk."

Mega man blinked. "An old friend?"

Jonny stopped and sighed. "I'll tell you later Rock... Right now I don't feel like talking about it."

To be continued...

Author's note: Kinda short I know, but I didn't think I could cram anything else in here without hurting the somber mood of this chapter.
