Slo-Mo/Nanosec beckyh2112 July 6 2009, 22:21:07 UTC
It'd been two years, and the Autobots were gone like they never here. The city's a bit worse for wear, too, and Sumdac Systems didn't dominate the skyline like it used to. It didn't do a lot like it used to, and Nino Sexton couldn't say he was sorry about that.

He thought robots were cool when he was a kid, but the increasing mechanization of labor had left him high and dry without a job. Then came the Autobots.

About the only good thing that came out of the Autobots was Slo-Mo. Pretty, clever, and probably a little bit crazy, but that made her more interesting.

Besides, she'd done him a good turn or three. So he got arrested in the end again. So what? Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Being in the penn was boring, not life-threatening.

Now he was back. Good ol' Detroit. Maybe he'd walk out this time a free man.

'Course, first he was going to find Slo-Mo.

He didn't think it'd be too hard. She was, well, she was distinctive. He didn't know her real name, but he knew her voice, and he knew how to use a computer. He'd find her.

And ask her out, because hey, she liked him, he liked her, they had complementary super-powers when they had their gadgets, and if that wasn't fate, he didn't know what was.

***

It'd been three months, and he hadn't seen or found anything about her. Nino's starting to think he isn't as good as he thought. Or maybe she didn't come back to Detroit at all after they let her out.

So he went jogging, because he always thought best in motion.

He ran around the park three times before he noticed the woman sitting on a bench, reading her way through a stack of comic books, three watches on her arms and a stop-watch around her neck. If he squinted, he could almost imagine a veil over her eyes.

He ran around the park one more time to cool down, then sat down next to her. "Hey. Nino Sexton."

She looked up, recognition sparked in her eyes and a smile curled her lips. "Samantha Lomow."

Awww! Nanosec's crush is adorable, and I like the inclusion of his robot views.

(S. Lomow. Heeee!)
