The door to the back opened up snapping Jenny from her thoughts as she turned to the open door with wide eyes.
She frowned and sighed sadly when she saw the angered and sad look on the doctors face. "Doctor?" she asked softly.
The man let out a deep sigh as he looked over at the cops and the robot hero. "I'm surprised he is alive." He said making the two frown and Jenny to tighten her hold on her cell.
Jenny stood up and approached him. "What's the damage?"
The doctor explained everything. The broken bones, the burns, the cuts...And the worst stuff she didn't even want to recall.
Jenny hung her head. "I...expected this..." She said softly. The doctor put a hand on her shoulder.
"He's...making a miraculous recovery, if it's any consolation." Jenny nodded.
"Yeah...I guess..."
She looked up at him. "Can I see him please?"
"Of course." He said and called over a nurse to lead her away. He turned back to the officers with a stern frown. "I have the paperwork for you all. Put them away for a long time." He said handing them a folder.
The officers nodded thanking the folder. "Don't worry. We will."
Jenny followed the nurse and when she entered the room she couldn't help the small smile that grew on her face. He looked like a little Mummy and he looked adorable.
He looked up at her and he smiled and waved. "Hi Ms. Jenny!" he said.
Jenny giggled and moved over to his side. "Hey, little guy." She greeted, ruffling his hair. "Feel better?"
"A bit." Harry replied. "The nice man wrapped me up." Jenny nodded.
"That he did, Harry. You look like a mummy." Harry giggled. Jenny pulled him into a hug. "I'm sorry this had to happen..." She said softly.
"Wh-What do you mean?"
"You shouldn't be this hurt...It's not right."
Harry tilted his head. "But I'm a freak…" he muttered confused.
Jenny sighed and shook her head. "We went over this buddy." She said softly.
Harry lowered his head sad that he hurt her feelings. His eyes grew wide however when she lifted him up in her arms. "You are more special buddy. You can't let people put you down." She said with a grin.
The boy nodded slowly with a soft smile. "So…I don't need to be hit."
"Never!" she said softly.
Harry smiled. "I get it now...Uncle Vernon was wrong..." Jenny smiled and picked him up, placing him on her lap.
"That's right." She said with a nod. "There's nothing wrong with you. Not. A. Thing." She poked his nose playfully as she said this, causing him to giggle, which in turn got her to giggle. "Doctor? Any idea when I can take him out?" She asked.
"He's been healing remarkably fast. It can't be too long now." The doctor replied.
"Good." The robot heroine replied, glad she could take him home soon. She looked at Harry. "I'll stay here until you're ready to go, sound good?"
"Yeah!" Harry nodded eagerly, happy to spend time with Jenny.
They relaxed on the bed with Harry nestled in her lap. Jenny told him some stories about her battles and adventures.
"So you fought on a planet of robots!?" he asked amazed.
Jenny giggled. "Yeah. It was…interesting." She said.
"So cool…" he said with wide amazed eyes.
She smiled bashfully at him and leaned down to kiss his forehead making him giggle.
The doctor walked in with a smile. "Good news." He said.
"We can go?" she said excited.
"That's right. Just need to sign him out." He said walking out.
Jenny squealed in delight. "Oh my gosh, I can't WAIT for you to meet my mom!" She said excitedly before frowning. "She...seemed to know about you for some reason." Harry blinked.
"Your mama knows me?" Jenny giggled at the adorable tone.
"Yeah. She actually fainted when I told her your name." Harry felt guilty.
"I'm sorry..." He said softly. "I didn't mean to make your mama faint..."
Jenny giggled at him her smile returning. "Aww I'm sure it's not your fault."
She lifted him and started to walk out of the room and into the waiting room. She frowned at the receptionist who gave her one of her own and handed her a clipboard. "Just sign here…" she muttered.
The robot hero did so and left the hospital with the boy in her arms. She smiled down at him. "Ready to fly buddy?" she asked.
He gave her an excited nod and Jenny smirked and blasted into the sky.
Harry clapped his hands in delight as Jenny flew at a pace fast enough to keep him happy but slow enough to be safe. "Where're we going, Miss Jenny?" Harry asked.
"Well, we're going to get you adopted." Harry whimpered. "By me!" She assured. "DEFINITELY by me. Don't worry." Harry relaxed.
"I don't wanna not be with you." He admitted. Jenny smiled.
"You're a sweet little guy, you know that?" He blushed.
"Thank you..."
She smiled at him. "No problem buddy." She said softly and slowly descended to the ground in front of the adoption agency.
Smiling wide and excited she walked into the agency and instantly felt joy at seeing the many children playing.
Many of them stared wide eyed at her in surprise. She gave them a small wave before turning her attention to the adult woman who walked out from the back with a grin.
"Well hello dear. What can I do for you?" she asked.
Jenny smiled and extended Harry out to show the woman. "I want to adopt him!" she cheered giddy.
The woman blinked. "Well, all right. We'll have to do an interview, and I need to know his name."
"Oh. This is Harry. Harry Potter." Jenny replied.
"Hi..." Harry replied timidly. The lady smiled.
"All right, dear, I'll look into the records and see what I find." She went over to her computer and began to type. "Harry...Potter..."
Jenny sat down in a nearby chair, holding Harry gently against her chest and resting her chin on his head. He smiled in delight.
"Um...Dear, I can't find any records of a Harry Potter in here..."
The robot girl blinked in confusion. "That's impossible." She looked down at him. "He is right here." She said confused.
The woman let out a sigh and shook her head. "Well he has no identification." She explained. "No birth certificate, or anything." She said just as confused.
Jenny stared wide eyed at the confused child. "So…what do I do?" she asked.
"Hmmmm." The woman thought. "I guess we do this the long way then and build his profile from scratch." She said.
Jenny gave her a nod. "Alright." She said with a relived grin.
"But first...We need to do that interview." Jenny blinked.
"Ah...I guess you wanna make sure I'm qualified to be a mom, huh?" She asked, rubbing the back of her head.
"That's right. And then I'll need help from you both to create Harry's profile."
"Well, we can do that." Jenny said with a nod, ruffling Harry's hair.
"Alright. So name?"
"XJ9 technically, but I go by Jenny Wakeman." She said with a wide smile.
The woman stared at her for a moment. "Alright…Past history with children?"
"I attended an elementary school…" she said.
"Oh did you help out?" she asked.
"Uh…well more like became one…eh heh…" she said with a blush.
The woman stared at her longer before giving another nod. "Okay then…why do you wish to adopt?"
"Because this little cutie needs a good home." She said with a warm smile down at Harry making him smile.
"Is that all?" she asked.
"What do you mean?" Jenny asked confused.
"Ms. J9" The robot girl's eyes deadpanned at that. "Raising a child takes more than a good home. It takes commitment, dedication and a understanding of their needs." She explained.
"I understand that." Jenny said.
"If what I remember is true you are also a superhero am I correct?" she asked.
"Yes." She said now confused.
"Do you think a child would be safe with that kind of hazard that his new guardian may not come back or be gone for long periods of time saving the world?"
"His grandma and uncles can take care of him." Jenny replied with a frown.
"But what if one of your enemies tries to hurt him to get to you?" Jenny narrowed her eyes.
"If they try that, I will beat them to an inch of their life." She said in a low, eerily menacing voice, tightening her hold on the little boy.
"...I see. Will you have the time to raise him?"
"I have plenty of time on my hands lately, and if I end up not having the time, I will MAKE the time."
"Do you understand what he needs?"
"Food, water, a safe, stable roof over his head, schooling, encouragement and lots of love."
The woman gave a small nod with a slight smile. "Glad to see you understand." She said.
"Well. Based on your answers and the fact that he seems attached to you…I don't see a problem with you being his mother." She said.
Jenny smiled wide and held Harry close. "You here that buddy! Your new mommy!" she cheered.
Harry stared wide eyed before a wide smile grew on his face as tears started to fall from his face. "Mama…mama!" he said happy hugging her tight.
She smiled down at him and ran her fingers through his hair. "That's right mama." She said feeling the intense warmth grow inside her.
The woman smiled. "I'll go get the papers ready." She said. "You two stay here..."
"Thanks." Jenny replied absentmindedly, focused on Harry.
"Mama..." The boy mumbled softly into her chest.
She smiled down at him and ran her fingers through his hair making him coo and press himself more into her. "Mama…"
Jenny never felt this warm before. She was a mother…a real mother! All her life she would have thought that the only way for her to have a child was to build one. Now, she was pleased to be the mother to an amazing and adorable little boy.
No matter what threat, danger, or problem gets in her way. She will always return to her little boy with a wide smile and open arms. She leaned her head down and nuzzled the top of his head softly feeling content.
The woman watched with a warm smile. She could see the love the two showed and it warmed her heart. 'She will do just fine.' She thought.
She walked back into the room with the paper work and placed it down in front of the robot girl. She dared not speak to break this tender moment
