World Traveller

Could Be Worse

In front of me was KARR, fully reactivated and repaired. We stood a moment in complete silence, both of us were trying to process what just happened. Until he broke this silence: "Are you the one who reactivated me?" his voice sounded sleepy, which, considering he was just reactivated, pretty reasonable.
I responded, pulling myself together to not show how nervous I was:
"Yes."
"How?"
And that was where things got hard to explain. Not only because he was a logically 'thinking' machine. I thought for a second, and looked for the best way to put it. Then I replied:
"You see, I'm a so called world traveler, meaning I can meet characters from TV shows, movies, games and books. What we see as fictional, is for these people real. Pain, love, everything. You KARR, are, at least for those of my world, a character too. And to help us, we have the ability to do everything we want, under some conditions of course. So, what I'm basically saying there is that I am able to do magic."
Now the question was, if he believed me. To be honest, who would believe THAT story.
But he responded, seemingly interested:
"Prove it."
I did. I moved my hands, concentrated, and created a little dragon made out of fire and let him fly between me and KARR. I heard him mumble
"So she really didn't lie..."
Silence again. After a short while, the silence became really uncomfortable and I only wanted to go, therefore I said:
"I am sorry, but I'll have to go. Bye!"
I waved and turned around, relaxing a bit, but he said something that made me stop:
"I am Knights Automated Roving Robot, KARR if you prefer. Who are you?"
I stopped, cursing myself for being naive enough to think he'd let me go so easily, turned around and answered:
"My name is Chlara. Chlara Mistić." "Do you want me to drive you to the next city?"
It sounded like he actually wanted to help me, but I declined.
"No thanks." I gave a warm smile and went on.
'Wow, Horace WAS right about me finding cars similar to him. I have to get to the foundation to warn them before things get out of control!'

I soon got to the city, where the young couple found KARR (KITT vs. KARR, third season). I asked some people who lived in this city about where I could find FLAG, the acronym for Knight Foundation for Law and Government, and someone took out a map. He gave me the map with the instructions and I walked away.

Because I was so lost in my thoughts (and in the city), I didn't notice when a noise sounding like an jet engine was following me at first. But as soon as I did, I immediately turned around, only to see KARR driving right next to me, not minding to block the entire traffic at our side of the road. I sighed, and went in an relatively free and dark alley. Here people hopefully wouldn't notice me and KARR talking to each other. Half curious and half afraid of what would happen, I turned around and faced him, well knowing what I had to do if he tried to attack me. Then, of course, I wanted to know why he was following me. He said as if it was the most obvious reason:
"You repaired and restored me completely."
Confused, I asked:
"And?"
"I want to help you."
Of course I didn't really believe him, why should I, so I responded :
"With what?" Silence. He seemed to think for a moment. Then he simply responded:
"Whatever you need me to. Do you want to get in and see for yourself?"
I was about to say something, when he interrupted me by saying :
"Please? You won't regret it." now sounding more pleading, but it could only be me. And with that he opened the driver's door, like inviting me to come inside.
