Pulse jumped in surprise and zipped along side Metal Head.
"Hey...sorry again. Do you think..maybe we could go get some coffee? Maybe something to eat. I'd really like to talk to another super-type. We super types really should stay in contact..." he said.

Metal Head looked down at the boy for a moment before reaching over, grabbing him by the shoulder and physically lifting him up and setting him to the side as if he were a doll, though gently so it wouldn't hurt him. "I've got homework."

Pulse was a little surprised by being moved. When the robot mentioned homework he laughed a bit.
"Homework? Maybe I can help with it!" he suggested. "That way it'll get done faster."

"Don't need any help. Just got a rude interruption, is all." The robot started walking away again.

"Oh," he said, sinking slightly. He followed quickly after a moment. "Well...after you finish your homework...could we go?" he asked.

"Gotta make dinner," the robot answered. "And before you ask, then I have to do dishes, then I have to prepare for an exam tomorrow, and then I have to go to bed. And no, you cannot join me in bed."

Jamie stepped back, miming being somewhat offended.
"I wouldn't ask something like that!" he said with a laugh. "But...maybe I can make dinner for you. I'm a pretty decent cook. I could even do the dishes for you...that way we could talk over dinner," he suggested.

"The dinner is for my family," the robot answered, finally stopping to look at him. Then an idea caught in Terry's head. "Besides, did you miss the skin color? You'd rather stick out, and that wouldn't be pleasant for you, got it?"

Pulse laughed looking down at himself.
"Hey, I look a lot weirder. Besides...I don't care about skin color and sticking out for once might be nice," he said.

"Believe me, not in this case," it answered. "Now, can I go, or do you have more questions?"

"What'd you mean by that?" Pulse asked, slightly confused. "But I do have a few more questions if your really don't wanna talk over dinner. Like...what's your name? And what'd you do to make that Rust Bucket so mad. And what that mysticixy thing it wanted was?" he asked quickly.

"I'm called Ten," it answered. "All I did was have the Mystrix. It's what allows my shapechanging abilities. Problem is, it's physically fused to me. They can't just steal it."

"Well, Ten, it's good to meet you! I already told you...but I'm called Pulse! You say the rust bucket is after the Mystrixy thing fused to you...and that they're a they? So there'll be more coming after you? I can come keep an eye on you for awhile...keep 'em off your back for awhile," Pulse said.

The robot's voice seemed to grow annoyed again. "You remember that hole we talked about?"

Pulse jumped a bit, hold a hand up in defense and laughing slightly.
"Sorry...sorry...but I was just offering to let you have a peaceful night. You said that there were more rust buckets. I just thought I'd keep them busy for a night," he said.
