It was the robot from Attingers office. He wasn't much taller than I was. His optics were red and he was multiple shades of grey. He actually DID have some similarities to Ultron, but he certainly wasn't Ultron. He also looked similar to the one transformer from clips in The Last Knight, I think his name was Cogman. But this wasn't either Cogman or Ultron, it looks more like someone mashed the two together. The robot looked up and saw me, his red optics widening.

"751, you have no permission to be in this sector. And by Primus, what happened to you?" He asks with his heavy British accent.

Primus glared at the robot as his name was mentioned as a curse, I raised an eyebrow as to why he called me by a random number.

"What the fuck are you talking about, tin can?" I asked rudely.

This surprised the robot, "You dare to speak to me this way?"

"Well you just fucking slammed into me. So yeah, I do. I'll go wherever the hell I want on this ship, so who are you to tell ME what I can and can't do?" I pointed a glowing blue claw to his chest.

I looked to Primus, who was still glaring at this robot but he said nothing.

"In case you've forgotten 751, I am the one in charge of keeping you out of areas like these. Perhaps you'd prefer answering to Lockdown about your new behavior?" He tried to sound threatening.

I rolled my eyes, "Was that supposed to be a threat?" 

This surprised the robot even more.

"What has gotten into you? What is this new rebellious behavior?" He asks angrily.

New rebellious behavior? What the hell?
Is he saying that the other me isn't rebellious? I growled, it sounded much more vicious than my normal growl. I grabbed the robots arm and twisted it behind his back, hearing his joints pop and bend out of place. He yelled out in pain as I shoved him to the ground, still holding his arm behind his back. Who knew you could learn such a valuable skill by watching Black Widow from Marvel?

"RELEASE ME, PSYCHOPATHIC FLESHBAG!!" HE shouted.

"You wanna know what got into me? Well, it's called Courage, Bravery, Kindness, Selflessness, and Determination. And I'm feeling pretty nice today, so I'm gonna ask you something." I say very sweetly yet aggressively.

"What?!" He asked angrily.

I kneeled, "Red gem you got yesterday, where is it? And where am I?"

"Why would I tell-" He started, but I jabbed the claws on my free hand into his back. He yelled like he was being murdered.

"You gonna answer?" I ask.

"FINE! The gem is in Lockdown's quarters!" He admitted.

Of course. The place where the guy sleeps, and I have no idea where that is! Not to mention this ship is gonna be flying out of here in 10 minutes! Time is not on my side here. But he didn't answer my other question.

"And me?" I ask.

"You are supposed to be with Lockdown at all times, yet you are allowed to roam with my supervision." The robot explained.

I grumbled something and released his now useless arm, removing my claws from his back as well. Well that doesn't help matters. UNLESS, the other me had gotten out of Lockdown's and this guys sight. So she could be running freely, but that could be anywhere on this massive ship. I sigh.

"Thanks for the info. By the way, you CLEARLY don't know what a doppelganger is. And I have a name, not a fucking NUMBER." I hissed.

The robot slowly got to his feet holding his broken arm, and he just looked at me. I can't believe he can't see the shadow form of Primus right behind me, and I can't believe Primus didn't say anything at all. He just watched me harm this robot, whoever he is. I turned to the shadow.

"Okay...I think we can move on now. We gotta find the last gem to complete this rainbow stone set, or Infinity Gauntlet rip off." I giggle at the last part.

Primus' glare then turned into a smile as he chuckled. I walk past the shadow, he follows me at my side.

"Where are we going now, youngling?" He asks.

"I will be honest, I have no idea which direction the gem is. And when you said to turn my emotions off, I just don't know how to." I sighed.

"Allow me to re-elaborate my previous statement, I meant this as in seeing through the negative emotions you may feel here to see the light. Remember that light will illuminate the darkness, try to find the feeling you once felt before in the City." Primus explained.

"Primus...I've NEVER done this before. It's not as easy as you may think for me." I rub my arm with my metal hand.

"Sky," He stepped in front of me, "You may not know this, but you have done this several times before without realizing it during your lifes. You recall the certain moments during your life, you occasionally would feel a sudden mood change for an unknown reason?"

I nodded.

"And your friends and family who care very deeply about you would know how to assist you in feeling better, and you would return to your work?" He asks.

I nod again.

"Right now is an occurrence. Feel for what you know so very well. I know you can do it." Primus said kindly.

I smiled a little.

"Okay...I will try."

*This one was basically a filler cuz motivation is starting to decrease for this. Not ideas decreasing, just motivation. And the convo between her and Primus is one I hear in my head almost all the time with myself, and I always doubt it. Thing is, I actually can feel emotions of those who hurt or feel joyous, whether it's my friends, or a tragic occurrence in the world. And here, I explain what it's like for me in a way. So this was kind of a little personal chapter ngl*
