Looking down at the towers and civilians , I think I have a thought of what being " human " is . Being human means to carry out challenges , to be happy and sad . I felt a cold hand touch my shoulder . It was Zane's , he was a robot just like me . He had black messy hair mad light blue eyes .
" Come on , it's time for patrol . " He said looking at me blankly . I nodded and got up up from my time of thought . I looked down the building , I prepared to jump from 30 stories . Again , he put his hand on my shoulder .
" I'll go first . " He said . He walked back and ran to he tip of the tower before jumping . He through his hands up as the wind ran through his leather black jacket . I was amazed at how fearless he looked , like he was safe . He soon crashed down on the artificial rocks , we call " sand " .
" It's okay ! " He yelled . I'm afraid of heights and I don't like to jump off tall buildings even if I will survive . I stood at the tip of the building waiting for his signal to jump . He smiled and nodded . I closed my eyes and stepped forward .
I felt the winds rustle through my red hair and constantly bash against my face . I screamed in pleasure and fear . The warm air felt so good against me , that I couldn't help , but to feel...happy . Being to caught up in the moment , I crashed against the ground . Zane quickly ran to my aid .
" Are you alright ?! " He asked . I tried to pick myself up , but I felt heavy .
" I can't get up . " I said . He pulled his hand out and I grabbed it quickly , he lifted me off my butt and I dusted myself off . He looked up at the tower we recently jumped off of .
" Not bad for your first time , Kara . "
I chuckled
" Come on , let's watch these...humans . ". He walked through the depressing street of New York , humans fear us because they say we're monsters . I really don't like being called a monster .
" So our exams are I'm two days , how do you think you'll do ? " He asked me .
" Terrible . " I scoffed .
" Terrible ? "
" Yeah , I mean , I can't fight for my life . I don't even really like fighting at all . While your a Level : 43 I'm still Level : 26 . I only got that by test . " I hopelessly said .
" I'm sure , you'll do great . " He said trying to cheer me up . I saw some men jumping on a old man . The men were indeed robots like me and Zane , but they were doing it out of anger and not for any good reason , if there was any . I immediately tried to walk towards them , but Zane stopped me .
" Just let it happen . You don't need to get into any trouble . "
" But I just wanted to help . "
" We don't help , we just keep things in order . " He pushed me forward and I kept walking , I looked back to see the old man sticking his hand out for my help . I turned around , I couldn't take this anymore . I wanted to cry , but where were the tears .
" You have to be strong , Kara . "
" I know . " I nodded .
" Why do I feel this way ? If I'm a robot , how can I feel sadness , happy , and angry . "
Zane shrugged " I don't know , I guess your the few upon the many to can feel emotional . "
" Upon The Many ? " I questioned .
" Yeah , your unique . " Zane smiled . I chuckled lightly , I wasn't unique , I was like any other robot in this city . Suddenly , the governor of this city came upon us . He had a evil looking mustache and he had black silky hair which ran down the back of his neck .
