Ray’s attention is redirected towards Anthem, who is holding a white-glowing Xel.

Lightwave: Oh, what the hell is that idiot doing now?
Defreros: don’t know, but that thing he’s holding looks shi—
Big Eye: We get it, the entire basis of your core character is made of pleasant innocence and niceness. The more times you make unnecessary comments, the more times you risk flanderizing yourself and becoming a mere parody of your own personality. It doesn’t hurt to be nice and humane.
Anthem: THIS thing was made by the request of a certain someone you’ve met before, Raychel. Can you guess who it is?

Meddy: I— ....

Silence.

Meddy: .....How am I supposed to feel about this!?
Meddy: That I was too loyal to question the fact that my dad was an evil mastermind, that I almost died in an elevator, how it’s either leave my home with for other robots to take care of or never see the closest thing I have to a friend ever again!
Meddy: I don’t even know what I’m supposed to be anymore! A nurse robot? A wicked maid!? A battle assistant!? What am I!?

Meddy looks down, though this does not do anything to hide the evident tear drops falling from her face.

What am I...?
———————————————————







Wow baggage much? Shut up you stupid crybaby lmao

Suddenly, Ray senses an even larger amount of what she’s looking for available.

Meddy seems very conflicted, but makes little attempt to either reach out nor voice her concerns.
—————— Mobile Still Sucks

...Weirdo.

Heat Man walks up to the fire, and begins absorbing it’s heat, causing it to feminism.* diminish.

————————————————————————

*Autocorrect

Meddy turns beet red.

Meddy, slightly confused and without a chance to say anything on the matter watches, though slightly anime pouts out of concern for Taurus G.

---

...

Heat Man groans and makes his way towards the location of the fire and the person.

The statue noise breaks Meddy of her ignorance as she turns to it's root.

Oh! MIDI! I didn't know you were here too! We were just--
...Ah, r-right. Introductions. Taurus, this is MIDI. He shows up every once in a while to help us out.

Meddy, somehow not noticing having MIDI's arrival yet, is confused by the sudden silence.

You guys...? Is something wrong...?

MCPD Headquarters A. Rock and Mech-tenant branch off from everyone else, nearing the exit.

Well, you folk seem quite busy, so we'll just leave you guys with what you gotta do.

A. Rock is suddenly elbowed in his rib-area by Mech-tenant.

Dude.
Okay, okay.

A. Rock approaches everyone else, more specifically Team Prototype, extending an arm to their namesake.

We'll settle this some other time.
...

Prototype responds, firmly shaking A. Rock's hand.

I'll be looking forward to it.

The handshake soon comes to a close, with A. Rock zipping back to the end off the room.

I should probably get outta here before Defteros decides it's time for another goodbye hug.
*physically restraining Defteros from giving the two of them another goodbye hug* YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

As they make their way out, A. Rock says one last thing.

By the way, just as a little heads up... You might wanna keep an eye out. Word around is that killing you would be worth a lot of moolah.
Huh!? How do you two know about this!?
Being a Merc in 20XX has it's privileges. Well... see ya!

A, Rock and Mech-tenant leave.

...

Heat Man turns around and begins walking away.

Well, show's over. You won't get that satisfaction you're looking for here of all places, so I suggest you search somewhere else. See ya never.
(Nuts. I can't go back to that place without bringing back a big score with me, otherwise I'm in big trouble. So I've just gotta look for more creative methods to get my big score... but first, I can't deal with anymore eyewitnesses. God knows how much trouble they've put me through so far.)

---

True.
So... what now?

Yeah, holding an elevator up competely didn't quite look... easy.
Sorry for doubting you guys earlier, by the way. I should've known you were only trying to help.

---

Heat Man suddenly closes in on Gyroman, inches away from his face.

Shut. Up. I don't wanna hear it from you.

Heat Man suddenly skids across the sidewalk at the calling of his person, putting his escape to a halt.

Ah, crud, not this prick a...

He then turns around, locating the area the voice came from, and thus spotting Gyroman.

...gain?

Meddy, slightly puzzled by the talking box, gets off the elevator.

---

Sprinting away, Heat Man takes his time processing everything that just happened.

(Alright, soon enough I'll be in the clear. Though I at least wish the boss had cut me a little slack instead of using me to test the waters of this terrain.)
(This stupid rain... I can't use any of my fire powers with it. But the sooner I make it back, the sooner everything will be A-OK.)

By the time Police Man 7's initial snicker had been veiled, Heat Man has already ran a considerable distance away.

---

Meddy screams. As the elevator stops moving, after a hesitant reaction, she utters a thankful sigh of relief.

...Well, he's probably right. It's either come along with them or... I don't want to mention it. We should get going.

Meddy begins making her way up, gesturing Taurus G. to follow.

Meddy responds to the voice from above the elevator.

And how can we guarantee our safety and freedom won't be at stake if we do go?

Meddy whispers to Taurus veeeeeeery quietly.


...Do you think we should listen to them?

Yeh dat works. Thanks Gamma.
———————
Huh!? Wh-what’s going on!?

As he is thinking, he barely even notices the two hands clasping the bottom of his.

Meddy: That sounds like a lot you had to go through. I wish I could relate...
Meddy: Either way, I have no doubt that you’ll be able to make the most of your new life. And even though things didn’t quite work out, I’m glad that you at least had something of your own to care about.
