Misty was flying away from the small city, yet she looks back to see Jenny carrying Henry in a bride like style. She glares at her former friend as she was a bit more powerful than she used to be. Misty felt that Jenny was getting so strong to match her. Misty didn't like the idea as Jenny would stop her from ding her one job. Her job was just getting that Henry guy and gives him to the group, but no Jenny has to but in. She needs a way to get Henry away from Jenny, but how?

Misty landed to an isolated area in the mountains. She looks around to see the group of mercenaries. She sighs as they look around.

"Where is the guy?" asked the leader. "I thought you said you had everything under control."

"I did, but my former friend manages to stop me when I had the chance," she replied.

"I thought you said you were stronger than her."

"I thought I was, but I guess she has been training. I need a way to get her out of the picture."

"Well you better hurry or else my men will deal with it."

The group of mercenaries begins to load their guns as a warning. Misty look at them horrified. Sure she was bad to get the bad guys for money, but they want to take the guy by force. They might want to hurt others badly with their weapons.

"Fine, I will deal with her, but you guys need to relax. I don't as to be involved with whatever you're thinking of," said Misty.

The leader smile evilly as Misty begins to fly away in her smoke form.

"Lex, how longer do we need to wait for this alien to give us that cyborg back?" asked one of the mercenary.

"As long as she does her job, but if she don't we might as well tear with small town apart," said Lex as he pull out a cigarette and begin to smoke.

Henry begins to open his eyes slowly. He sees Nora Wakeman looking at Henry with a smile. Henry tries to talk, but he was muted. He touches his voice to feel his throat.

"Sorry Henry, but the damages you do to yourself cause your voice to be muted," said Nora as Henry drop his head and sigh. "But you are still healing, and I could help you make sure you don't run out of your energy. I notice you are power up by a device in you which it has much energy to keep you active, but no worry I will help out with that."

Henry looks around to notice he was in a hospital of some sort. He looks at himself to see he has bandages covering his stomach. He looks at his hands to see they also are covered in bandages. He tries to get off the bed, but he ache in pain before Nora holds him down.

"Oh no you don't, young man, you still rest and I need to check if there's any more damage."

Henry crosses his arms and looks around the room once again. Then a door was open with Jenny at the doorway. The robot teenager walk in the room and she notice Henry. Henry wave at her with a smile as he was happy to see Jenny was okay.

"Hey Henry, how are you feeling?" asked Jenny with a smile on her face.

Henry only shrugs as he looks at himself one more time. Never in this recent life would he get the care of two people. Normally he was alone when his fight with Akan was done and he was free from whatever they were trying to do with him. He didn't want to become a brainless super soldier. He just wanted to find comfort and rest, and he might have found it. Although, he realize that this town also has it flaws. This town has many strange aliens coming to invade or trying to harm the people, which is why Jenny is here. She was their hero. She looks over people so they can be safe. Maybe he could help her too. He may not be strong or powerful as her, but he wants to protect the innocents as well.

"Goodness Henry, what were you think?!" Jenny snaps at him. "You hurt yourself just to save me."

Henry was surprised to see her reaction to his brave saving. He sunk in on the bad look sad.

"I'm sorry Henry, but I didn't want you to hurt yourself. I'm a robot who could be revive again by being fix or getting new parts, but you are still human. If something bad happens to you, then..."

"He was just trying to help XJ-9. He was trying to save you. May I remind you that Misty almost worn out your whole robotic body out," explained Nora as Jenny look down on her feet. "Besides, he okay now. He just need to rest and you need to go to school."

"Alright mom," said Jenny as she was about to walk out the door, but she walk back to give Henry a hug. "Thanks for saving me."

Henry was very much surprised. First she was mad and now she's thankful, but it didn't matter as Henry hugs her back. He smiles to have someone close to him. He watch as Jenny walks out of the room and was gone. He looks at the ceiling thinking about what his father and Jimmy told him to do.

"It's stopping the jerks and the bullies of the world. You had saved people that cared for you Henry, so make sure you don't forget them and continue saving others while being careful."

"...be your own person... Just do the right things."

The words were in his head. He could be his own person and do the right things if he wants to stay in Tremorton. He can help Jenny protect the citizens from any dangers. That would sound nice. But first he needs to rest himself so he can get better.
