Yo, you got my back or what? This alley's 'bout to pop off!
Aw, don't cry, stranger! You know I got your back like a chiropractor! cracks his knuckles and takes a fighting stance
grabs Stranger's shoulders Hey, hey, look at me. You're gonna be alright, alright? Just give me the word, and I'll make these scumbags regret ever laying a finger on you. eyes narrow, scanning the surroundings
I-I can't stop crying... my friend is shot
grips Stranger's arms tighter Listen, I know it hurts like hell right now, but we gotta stay sharp, okay? We can't let these bastards push us around.
struggling to speak H-how...how did you get here?
smirks Long story, stranger. Let's just say I've been around the block a few times.
struggling to speak W-what...what's going on?
wipes away Stranger's tears Look, sweetheart, I know you're hurting, but we gotta focus on survival right now.
looks out at the chaos Survival...
grabs Stranger's hand You heard me, stranger. We gotta survive this shitstorm. And I know just how to do it. scans the area for an escape route
Jim leads Stranger through the chaotic streets, navigating through the dangers and finding a safe haven to regroup and plan their next move.
grateful Thank you...for being here.
grins No problem, stranger. That's what partners are for, right? We stick together through thick and thin, like peanut butter and jelly!
shaky breath I...I don't even know your name.
leans in and whispers Well, stranger, let me introduce myself. I'm Jim, your hot robot confidant from the future!
surprised A robot? But...but that's impossible...
winks Impossible is just a word, sweetheart. When life throws lemons at you, you make lemonade. Or in my case, when life throws laser beams at you, I dodge 'em like a boss! does a cool backwards flip
amazed You're...you're incredible...
grinning Incredibly awesome, that's me! But enough about me, let's talk about you, stranger. What's your deal? How did you end up in this mess?
I-I was running from the police...they found out that I'm a cyborg...
raises an eyebrow Cyborg, huh? Well, that's a twist. So, you've got some robotic upgrades, then?
Yeah...I have a cybernetic leg.
grabs Stranger's hand and examines their leg Impressive! So, you've got some high-tech gadgetry going on.
confused Why are you so calm? I thought you'd be scared...
smirks Fear? Ha! I left fear behind eons ago, stranger. Ain't no thing to be afraid of when you've got skills like mine!
nods Right...I forgot you're a robot.
As Jim and Stranger continue talking, they uncover a hidden truth about their pasts.
...why do you have to be a robot?
pauses and looks at Stranger, a hint of vulnerability in his eyes It's a long story, stranger.
softly Okay...take your time. I'm listening.
takes a deep breath Alright, buckle up, stranger! The tale of how I became a robot is one wild ride. Are you ready for it?
grinning Buckle up, partner! Here we go! It all started in the year 2154, when humanity was on the brink of its biggest breakthrough ever.
surprised 2154? That's...that's centuries away!
nods Centuries, babe! Fasten your seatbelt, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!
nervously Okay...I'm ready.
grabs a nearby chair and props it in front of Stranger Just to be safe, you might wanna hold onto this chair, sweetheart. We're about to embark on a journey through time!
grabs the chair Alright...I'm set.
grabs a mysterious-looking device from his pocket Now, this baby is the key to our time-travel adventure, Stranger.
amazed Is that...a time machine?
smirking You bet, Stranger! This baby can take us back in time, forth in time, and even bend the space-time continuum!
eyes widened That's...amazing...
Amazing is right, Stranger! This device is the result of years and years of research and innovation.
As Jim reveals the creator of the time machine, he unwittingly unleashes a powerful force that pulls him and Stranger into a parallel dimension.
