Gyro's Adventures in Parenthood

Chapter Two: Custody Issues

Gyro went back to his apartment exhausted and tired. He was at first going to go to bed when a thought came to mind. 'That Doofus Drake is such a bad behaved child, 2-BO... Boyd doesn't need all that toxic influence, it may react badly with his weapons programming by Akita...' he went over to a monitor.

"Computer, pull up all core memory data involving Dr. Akita."

He said, the computer then spat out a paper from a printer and said.

"Those files are restricted. The chicken growled.

"On who's authority?"

He asked. The computer loaded for two minutes and responded.3

"All files concerning Dr. Akita have been restricted by Authority of the Chairman for the Board of Directors, Bradford Buzzard."

Gyro looked shocked and then angry.

"Computer, call Bradford Buzzard..."

He said with a monotone. The computer complied and patched him in. The vulture's face appeared very annoyed in the screen.

"What is it Gearloose, I'm in a board meeting."

He said with a scowl. Gyro then lost it.

"Why didn't you say you were working with my former mentor?!?"

He demanded, the vulture sighed.

"Can this wait?"

He asked him. Gyro glared.

"Fine. But I'm not through with you Bradford, I will find out why you've restricted core memory in Boyd on Dr. Akita!"

He then hung up on him.

"Still feels good."

He said to himself. Suddenly he got an idea.

"Computer pull up all core memories involving me from twenty years ago."

He instructed the computer. It pulled it up. He watched memory after memory of he and his creation and felt guilt.

"How could I let him do this?"

He said to himself feeling tears well up.

"How could you let me do what Intern?"

Came a very familiar voice. He looked up and saw Dr. Akita on the screen from within a holding cell. Gyro glared at him.

"What do you want Akita?"

He asked the incarcerated scientist who smiled.

"I told you if you got attached to 2-BO you'd self destruct out of guilt, and yet you ignored my wisdom. Boop."

The scientist said pressing a button, showing off an assortment of film documenting Boyd's destructive mayhem inflicted on the city twenty years ago.

"2-BO is a weapon, and I treated it as such, protocol World-Breaker was just my way of bringing it to its true destructive potential. Whoosh."

He said zooming in to give Gyro a closer look at the robot currently destroying a skyscraper.

"No. No, you're wrong Akita, he's a definitely real boy!"

He said. Akita's face once again became visible.

"Is he Intern? He's twenty years old. Don't you think by now he'd be a "definitely real man" by now, don't you think he'd look older too?"

He asked him with a sinister smile.

"You're too attached to it to see that I'm right. Boys age, it does not. 2-BO is made to look real, but is not..."
