Astro Boy X Reader The Seven Souls

Inch by Inch

You stretched your arms over your head as you waited with everyone else for Zombie's return at the ministry of science. Everyone stood in front of the door leading towards the laboratory where Zombie was getting repaired.

Your eyes wandered over your group and eventually, they fell on Starfire. Oddly enough, she stared ahead of her with a silent gaze. Her gaze then flickered towards you for a brief moment before she turned away. You eyed her with confusion just as the two large metal doors slid open. Everyone looked forwards and to their delight, Tenma exited the room with Zombie in tow.

The bits and pieces that were missing from his face had been repaired and his movements were no longer staggered. Zombie smiled slightly at everyone and waved.

"Uh, hi?" Everyone stared at him with perplexex looks, making him shift on discomfort. Smiles then spread across your faces and everyone immediately became enthusiastic.

"It's good to see you in top condition, Zombie." You admitted and smiled warmly at him. Zombie's smile widened and he nodded. He then shifted his gaze towards Knight, who merely. Alpha's smile widened and he turned towards everyone.

"Alright, now that Zombie has been repaired, let's move onto the next timeline." Alpha told. Starfire rolled her eyes and huffed.

"Finally. Let's move." She growled. Robot gave her a questioning look while Alpha frowned. You gave her a weary glance before raising your hand and summoning a portal. The portal shone brightly and everyone crowded around it. Tenma's eyes widened and he eyed the portal with uncertainty.

"Um, Toby, are you sure this is safe?" He asked his son. Toby turned towards him and smiled confidently at him.

"It's alright. I've done this before, so everything is A-OK!" Toby exclaimed, putting his father's mind at ease. He smiled fondly at him.

"Alright. Be careful." He warned. Toby nodded and waved to his father before jumping through the portal. Robot held onto Starfire's shoulder, holding her back whilst everyone else jumped through the portal.

"Y/n? Is everything alright?" He asked, his voice laced with concern. Starfire frowned at him and ripped her arm out of Robot's grip.

"It's nothing. Let's get a move on." Robot watched Starfire jump through the portal with a frown. He then let out a heavy sigh and jumped after her.

You landed softly on the ground and scanned your surroundings. To your surprise, the skies were a bright blue and the grass was a lively green. But that wasn't what stuck out to you the most. Everyone looked so happy. Children played together in the park and confetti was practically thrown everywhere. 'Is there a festival?' You thought quietly to yourself as the rest of your group looked over the happy city with bright smiles and peering gazes. Little's body shook and he jumped high into the air in glee.

"Yay! Everyone looks so happy here!" He exclaimed as he ran around in circles and laughed. Pandora smiled and folded her arms behind her head.

"Yeah, this place kinda reminds me of our timeline." She admitted while Pandemonium nodded in agreement. Blind looked around in interest along with Princess. Princess then clasped her hands together and turned towards King.

"Hey, we should look around!" She exclaimed. King smiled and nodded. Alpha clicked his tongue and waved his finger around.

"Ah ah ah. We're here on a mission, remember? We need to find the feather of Tsubasa." He stated as he crossed his arms. You gave him a little shrug.

"Well, the feathers only appear when disaster strikes. So we can look around while waiting for that to happen." You explained. Fake grinned and gave Little a thumbs up.
