Heroes Legion: Year One: Ep: 2: The Made-Men

Chapter 2: Made-Men Attack!

Abraham Lincoln high school: 12:00 noon, July 23rd2013

The school had been closed for the day due to the disturbance that had occurred; some kind of "bomb" had gone off behind the school near the dumpsters.

A small explosive crater had been found back there.

While the cops and Bomb squad searched the area looking for any other bombs that might be in the school area.

Bomb dogs were sniffing around for that reason.

No one could see the extra "guests" who had gathered to examine this situation among the cops and Bomb squad, because they were moving too fast for the normal human cops and Bombs squad members to see.

Silicon, M-leader, Robo-warrior and Velocity were examining the area of the blast. Velocity's "hyper speed" power keeping them from being noticed, by making the rest of the world look like it was frozen...while there were basically a blur or a flash to people in real time.

"Lots of cops and bomb squads here at the school..." Velocity glanced back at the "frozen" cops behind him, "if this guy was trying to blow up the school, it looks like he didn't do much damage. Thank god for that, imagine if this side had kids in it!"

"This wasn't done by an explosive device Velocity..." Robo-warrior said as he examined the edge of the blast with his palm scanner device, "I detect no sign of explosive materials in the crater of the blast, but I do detect a small bit of Radiation that Cyber-29 doesn't recognize"

"Cyber-29?" Velocity asked in question.

"Oh yeah..." Robo-warrior said almost face palming, "I did forget to tell them about you didn't i?"

"Are you talking to yourself?" asked a weirded out Velocity.

"No, I'm talking to Cyber-29" Robo-warrior explained.

"Well who is Cyber-29?" asked Silicon.

"My suits A.I" Robo-warrior answered.

"Your suit talks and you talk back to it?" Velocity asked in disbelief, "You drank the six month old espresso packs in the kitchen this morning, didn't you?"

"His "Suit" also can talk back to YOU, Velocity!" Cyber-29 said through the suits voice system, "and if I recall, YOU drank the six month old espresso packs this morning"

"Hey I thought they were brand new...." Velocity countered, and then his eyes shot open in shock when he realised he had just talked to a machine "what, It DOES talk!"

"Awesome!" Silicon said with glee, "a self-aware artificial intelligence, that's alone....is the holy grail of Robotics!"

"Oh come on guys..." Andrew said through the suit, "Don't give him even more of an ego!"

"I'm a machine, I can't have an ego" Cyber-29 defended.

"Well machines aren't self-programed to talk back, now are they buddy?" asked Andrew.

"Touché!" Cyber-29 admitted defeat.

"Well if there are two voices in that thing..." Velocity paused, "then who have we been talking to for the past few days?"

"Well I guess we've grown enough as a team to start with the basics... I'm Andrew, Andrew Griffin"

"Pleasure..." Velocity said with an unamused look, "so if you were really a person inside that suit, why didn't you show us your real face?"

Robo-warrior shrugged, "guess I didn't trust you guys with that information at the time".

"Geeze..." Velocity said in amazement and dismay, "a talking robotic suit, next thing you know Ravens cat is going to be talking!"
