She stared down at the pale boy lying on the floor, foam pouring from the side of his mouth. What happened to this world? She asked her self as C4530 tried to wake him. The lights went down, she screamed. "It's alright, remain calm we'll have this sorted in a few minutes." She turned on her phone torchlight, looking around her, spotting someone in the corner of the room she slowly walked towards the small boy. "Hey there, what's wrong buddy?" he stared at her terrified looking at the left side of her face, "Oh this? Don't be alarmed, I'm not evil, I promise." She smiled winking at him as he touched the metallic skin that was there, "Where'd the lights go?" he asked in anticipation, once again staring into her eyes, "I'm sure they just went off for a bit, Clarsia will have them fixed in a second, how do you do?"
She offered him her hand but he disregarded it pulling her into a warm embrace, "Whoa there! Steady on, you could have pushed me over!" he giggled looking up at her, "I'm Sebastian, its nice to meet you." Smiling she let him grab her hand as they walked down to a pacing Clarisa, "Hey, what's going on?" she lifted Sebastian into a chair walking over to the leader, "It's her, she's hacked into our interface, we have to keep him out cold for fear of her finding us."
"What?! I thought this place had a fire wall?!"
"Now's not the time for jokes Mykie"
"Oh come on C you gotta have a little fun in the middle of you're highly dangerous radical movement!" she smirked looking into the older robot's eyes,
"Let me get this straight with you Mykie, no one is having fun, we are fighting for our lives here, not a single person, or robot for that matter, want's to hear you stupid bull shit about old internet jokes!" the lights flicked back on issuing a sigh of relief around the lecture hall. "I guess you getting all angry made them come back, that doesn't work for everyone you know."
"Calm yourself Mykie I was merely putting you in your place."
She frowned turning around and picking up Sebastian, "Hey you wanna go on a mission?" he nodded smiling wide, "Good, I need you to run to that door while I make a distraction and then I'll pick you up and we'll wait around the corner, if you hear Anything run, run as fast as you can to the nearest hiding place, high off the ground, can you do that for me?" his eyebrows creased as he assessed the situation, thinking carefully he smirked, "Yes ma'am!"
"Call me Mykie.
"Hey C, I think someone's trying to get in the back entrance! Quick everyone down! Barricade the doors get over there!"
She turned and ran out of the door scooping Sebastian into her arms as she went, "Mykie! What are you doing??? Is that a child? We need to hide, she'll find you!" Clarisa screamed after the sprinting sixteen year old,
"Not if I find her first!"
