Slaine sat on his skateboard in front of a river, looking at the sunset. He tore a small piece of cloth from his shirt and covered it over the hole on his shoe. He pasted it there with a small tube of fabric glue. He twisted his leg to see if there were any more holes in the shoes and then kept the glue tube in his pocket. It grew darker and he lay down on the grass, staring at the stars and the moon above him. He hugged his skateboard and soon fell asleep in his warm, oversized jacket.

The morning sun shone upon the high buildings, the clear glasses and the majestic steel covering the city at different corners, the statues.
"Mister Jimmy, get up, you'll get late for university," A maid said as she knocked at the door of a room.
"Come in," Jimmy groaned from inside and she walked in.

Jimmy Valentine; blonde, blue-eyed, conventionally handsome and a part-time model. He was the heir to the Valentine group of cinematography which was one of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. He wasn't interested in studying, but his parents wanted him to have a proper education before handing him the company.

"Seems like you played all night yesterday," She said as she took his sheets and kept them in his laundry basket, "Why didn't you sleep last night? You have an exam today." He got up and stretched his arms, "Exam? I couldn't care less." He yawned and walked towards the huge dining room in his silk robe,

"Good morning, mom, dad," He kissed his parents and sat at the breakfast table.
"Good morning, son. Ready for your finals today?"
"I guess," The butler poured his breakfast for him with some tea. He had his food, "You need to tone down your games, dear, your girlfriend is always mad because of that,"
"We broke up last night," Jimmy got up from the dining table and went to the bathroom.

"What? Again? How many girls has it been this month? Jim, you don't intend on becoming a fuck boy now, do you?" His mother asked.
"Let him live his life, dear, he's only eighteen,"

Jimmy washed up and dried his hair. After that, he threw some books in his bag and left for university in his Ferrari. While he was driving on the highway, a car stopped right before him. He applied the brakes but crashed.
"Fuckin' hell," He got down and walked towards that car. He knocked at the window, "Come out,"

Asselyum pulled down the window and looked at him with her sunglasses on. Jimmy looked at her with a blank expression and she looked back at him "Oh damn, hello there," He rested his elbow on the car door, "Wanna go for a dibber sometime?"
"Jimmy Valentine?" She looked into his eyes.

"You know me?"

She grabbed his collar and pulled him inside the car. Everyone on the streets stared at them as she drove back. Jimmy's legs were still hanging outside the car's window. He quickly pulled them inside and looked at her.
"How reckless!"
"I want you,"

"That might be the worst confession I've got in a while. But it is the most fierce one, I like it."

"You've got a few screws loose," She realised they were being chased by the police. But she had a plan.
"Are you scared of heights?" She asked.
"Not all, that's why I'm falling for you," He smiled. He must've been proud of that pick-up line, but she couldn't care less.

"Nice," She pressed the race paddle and broke through the bridge. He shrieked as she grabbed him and jumped out of the falling car. The car fell into the water while her boots gave out flames and soon resembled a jet. She flew with him into the sky while the police stared at the sinking vehicle from the bridge.

Jimmy had fainted. When he opened his eyes he was inside a dark and empty room. He tried to move but his hands were tied to a chair.

"This can't be happening to me. I got kidnapped?" He looked around "I'm definitely kidnapped! Someone's there? Please help me!"
The door opened and Asselyum came in. "Good evening, Jimmy Valentine." She stood before him and looked into his eyes, "I'll make it short. I'm keeping you,"

"What? Why? And who are you?"
"I'm Asselyum. And I am gonna borrow your body,"
She got on her knees and started unbuttoning his shirt. Jimmy's face turned red, "Wait, untie me, I won't resist,"
"Trust me, you would," She took out the piece of metal from her nails and inserted it inside the flesh on his chest.

"OUCH! FUCK! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Jimmy's skin engulfed the metal piece and soon the piece disappeared into his flesh. Asselyum's eyes glistened for a moment. Her computer screen reflected a lot of numbers and codes and finally, her system informed: "Data transfer completed, coordinator established," Her eyes stopped glowing and then she got up.
"You are a robot?" Jimmy asked.

"My name is Asselyum CodeX777. I am an AI from the year 2420" A hologram screen projected out of her eyes. "Manufactured in Imperial Mechapolis."

"So far in time? Why are you here then?"

She untied him but he wouldn't stop fawning over her, "For saving you and your kind from war,"
He touched her hands, "Damn, you really look like a human!"
"Yes, I'm made to protect humans."
"I wanted my dad to give me a robot like you as a gift on my ninth birthday. I'm still up for it though!"
"I am yours," She said.

"REALLY? My own?"
"You and three more. We work as a team,"
"Where are they?"
"I could just find one beside you yet. You're the coordinator. He's the controller. But he doesn't want to work with us,"

"He must be an idiot! I'll go talk to him! Let's go! What's his name?"
"Slaine Benjamin, he's very proud"

"Slaine Benjamin," Jimmy repeated, "Don't worry, I know my way with proud men,"

. . .

Slaine woke up with the sun on his face. Suddenly, he felt shade on his face and looked up, it was Jimmy, "You're Slaine Benjamin?"
He rubbed his eyes and nodded, Jimmy smiled and brought his hands forward,
"Hello, I'm the coordinator. My name is Jimmy Valentine. Nice to meet you, Mr Controller-"

"I hate blondes."

"He's smarter than you though," Asselyum stood beside Jimmy.
"You're with this bitch?!"
"Oui!" Jimmy smiled, "Why don't you join us?"
"No thanks," He got up and threw his skateboard down.
"Why not?" Jimmy asked, "We'd have fun together!"

Slaine looked at Asselyum, "There's no way I'll ever work with a girl as flat as you, even if you're a robot. It's ugly." Slaine grinned.
"Wow, dude, you must be feeling so great body shaming a girl like that," Jimmy found him pretty distasteful,"
"Just my fuckin' opinion. And I'm always this terrible, still wanna work with me?"

"Was that the problem all along?" Asselyum asked him, "If that's the case," Asselyum looked down at her chest and the metal around her chest inflated and now she had a bigger breast. "I modified my silicone. I just kept it flat so that it does not get into my way while fighting. But if that's hindering us working together, I'll keep it this way,"

"Did you really just change your body because I told you that you're ugly?" Slaine laughed.
"Yes, I did," Asselyum said.
"Can you make your ass bigger too?" Jimmy asked.
"I can if that's what you want."

"No," Slaine said, "He's creepy, don't do,"
"You're just against dudes who like ass. Fuck off, you ain't even wanna work with her. You don't get to decide shit. She's mine!"
Slaine glared at him, "Finders keepers, bastard. I found her before you,"
"But you don't wanna work with her so piss off"
"Is that so? Fine!" He looked at Asselyum, "I'll work with you, bitch! Just so blonde bitches like him don't get to tell me what to do. I'll control you.

You are mine,"

Asselyum looked at Jimmy who stood behind Slaine. He smiled and shrugged, "Told you so,"
