You sighed as you stared out the window of your room, watching the water droplets trickle down the glass panel of the window. It was currently raining, meaning that you couldn't go outside. You sat back and continued to stare out the window. You were so bored. You sighed and stood up. You then walked out of your room and walked towards You sat back and continued to stare out the window. You were so bored. You sighed and stood up. You then walked out of your room and walked towards Dr Elephan's office. You opened the door and saw him working away at his desk. You walked up to him and kicked the desk, gaining his attention. Dr Elephan sighed and looked up at you.
"Yes, Y/N?" Dr Elephan questioned.
"Is Astro back yet?" You questioned. Dr Elephan shook his head.
"No, not yet." You frowned and sat down on a chair.
"Geez, he's been gone for more than a week! How long does it take to complete one lousy assignment?" You questioned. Dr Elephan frowned.
"Y/N, things take time. You'll have to be patient." Dr Elephan told. He then smiled at you. "Do you miss him?" You gave Dr Elephan a bewildered look.
"W-what!? No! I'm just bored is all!" You cried. Dr Elephan chuckled.
"Well you'll have to be bored somewhere else. I am very busy at the moment." You frowned and stood up.
"How come only Astro gets missions?" Dr Elephan glanced up at you.
"Well, Astro is reliable. So, we ask him to help us with certain tasks, to sort out certain incidents. In fact, when he first met you it was because of an assignment." You raised your eyebrow at Dr Elephan.
"Let me guess, his mission was to bring me back?" Dr Elephan shook his head.
"No, his original mission was to destroy you. You were a threat to humanity so Astro was given specific orders to kill you. But, he ended up bringing you to our side." Your eyes widened. You then shrugged.
"Actually, that makes more sense. It's just like Astro not to kill someone." You muttered. You then leaned onto Dr Elephan's desk. "I want to do a mission." Dr Elephan's eyes widened.
"YOU want to do a mission!?" You nodded. Dr Elephan frowned and looked to the side. "Uh, well, we don't really have anything that would suit you." You frowned at this.
"Oh, come on! There's got to be SOMETHING for me to do!" You urged. Dr Elephan was about to say no when his screen turned on. Dr Elephan and you looked at the screen. Tawashi's face was then seen.
"Elephan! We need Astro, Skunk is on the loose!" Tawashi yelled. Dr Elephan's eyes widened.
"But Astro is away on a mission! There's nobody that I can-" Dr Elephan froze. He then glanced at you and sighed. "I'll send somebody right away." Dr Elephan then turned off the screen and turned towards you. "Skunk is on the loose, and we need someone to go after him. So..." You grinned and nodded.
"Just leave it to me!" You exclaimed.

You flew through the rain with a rain coat over your body. You were glad that technology had progressed so far as to create raincoats with a force field around it, protecting you from the rain. You heard your communicator go off and looked at it. Dr Elephan's face appeared.
"Y/N, Skunk should be close by. You have to stop him." Dr Elephan told. You nodded and closed your eyes. You then used your sensors to scan the area for Skunk. Once you found his presence, you then flew towards his location. Skunk and his goons grinned as they drove away from the police. They then gasped when the front of their car was crushed into the ground, causing them to hit their heads against the washboard. You gripped the car and stared at Skunk as he held his head in pain. You then saw that a trickle of blood rolled down his head and saw him pass out. You smirked and watched as the police flew down next to you. You then saw Tawashi rush out of his car and hit you on the back of your head.
"You fool! What do you think that you're doing!?" Tawashi screamed. You frowned and rubbed the back of your head.
"Catching criminals, you ungrateful human! Is this any way you thank someone!?" You questioned. A tick mark appeared on Tawashi's head and he started to shake in rage.
"Y/N!" Tawashi screamed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You sighed as Tawashi complained to Dr Elephan about you. Dr Elephan apologised and sighed when the angry detective finally left. He then turned towards you and frowned.
"Y/N..." You rolled your eyes.
"What? I DID stop those crooks, didn't I?" Dr Elephan sighed and shook his head.
"That's not the point. You could have possibly killed them. Skunk now has a concussion!" You snickered.
"Hey, at least now we won't be having any more crime sprees, eh?" Dr Elephan gave you an unamused look. You sighed and turned away from him. "It's not my fault that humans are so weak." Dr Elephan frowned. You and Dr Elephan then heard another alert and turned towards the screen. The news showed of a flood in a nearby town that was close to the ocean. You grinned and ran outside. "I'm gonna go and help!" You exclaimed as you flew out the window. Dr Elephan gasped.
"But Y/N! You can't handle this job!" Dr Elephan tried to warn, but it was too late. You were already out the window. Dr Elephan sighed while shaking his head. "I swear..." He muttered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You looked around and saw the town that had water rushing through the streets. You saw that a few humans were stranded and flew over to them. You then picked up the platform that they were on and placed it on top of a large building. You then heard someone scream.
"MY BABY! SOMEONE, PLEASE SAVE MY SON! HE CAN'T SWIM YET!" A woman cried out. You gasped and turned to see that a child had fallen into the water. You then dived into the water after the child had gone under. You winced in pain as your body was engulfed by the water. You then swam towards the boy and wrapped your arms around him and flew out of the water. Everyone cheered as smoke arose from your body as you put the child down on his feet. The woman rushed over to her child and hugged him. "Oh, thank you, thank you! You saved him!" The woman thanked. You smiled. Your body was then engulfed in flames, getting rid of the water on your body. You then turned towards the rushing water. You had to stop that flood somehow before any more damage was done to the city. You looked around and saw a building that had fallen over. You grinned; that would work! You flew over towards the building and dove into the water once again. Your eyes widened as the pain intensified. You tsked as you winced in pain. You had to hurry and plug up that flood! You picked up the building and lit your body on fire. Everyone watched with wide eyes as the water around you started to evaporate and watched as you picked up the building and carried it over to the river. You then threw it down at the source and watched as it blocked the entry way for the water. You then dived back into the water and released pillars of flames from your hands. The water level started to go down as steam arose from all the water. Everyone started to sweat as the heat intensified. After six more shots of your beams, almost all of the water was gone. You shook the water off you and used more flames to dry yourself. You then saw that it had stopped raining and sighed in relief. Everyone cheered. Your eyes widened and you turned towards them. Were they...cheering for you? You smiled. So, this is what it felt like to be a hero. You couldn't believe that Astro did this everyday! You waved back at them. You then took a step forwards with confidence. And fell. Crap, you had used up all of your energy. You closed your eyes as the rest of your energy ran out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your eyes fluttered open and you saw that you were back in your room. You then looked to the side and saw Astro smiling at you. Your eyes widened and you sat up.
"Was that all a dream?" You questioned. Astro chuckled and shook his head.
"No Y/N, it wasn't. When I got back I heard that you had managed to give Skunk a concussion and that you had saved an entire city from a flood! That was pretty heroic of you, not the skunk part mind you." Astro told. He then rubbed your head. "You did well! I'm proud of you." You blushed and swatted his hand away.
"I-I only did it because I was bored! And I happened to be in the neighbourhood." You muttered. Astro raised his eyebrow at you as he smiled.
"So, you don't reckon that you'll do this again?" Astro questioned. You huffed.
"Of course not! That's your job!" You told. Astro smiled.
"Then that means that you won't be able to receive your award. Guess I'll have to give it to you in their place." You gave Astro a questioning look as he leaned towards you. He then kissed you on the cheek and leaned back. Your eyes widened as your cheeks reddened. You then held your cheek in confusion.
"W-what was that? How was that a reward?" You questioned. Astro grinned at you and stood up.
"I'll let you get some rest. You still haven't fully recharged yet. Good night." You frowned as Astro walked towards the door and left the room. You then felt your cheek and smiled slightly. Maybe you should do this more often.
