Time travel. The event that occurs when an individual travels' to a specific point in time. No one could truly understand how time travel effects the world or the person who committed the act. Some have tried, with little results. Time Travel has since become nothing more but a forgotten relic in a time long past.

However, as Aila stared at the photo of a family long since passed and the small child who showed extreme fear for this family she was starting to rethink her belief.

Harry stared up at her and had tilted his head in a confused manor and his expression showed slight fear. "What's time travel?" he asked.

Aila let out a sigh and leaned back with him leaning more in her lap. She gave him a soft frown. "It's pretty explanatory. You travel through time. Either to the past or the future."

Harry frowned. "S-So is that what I did...?" Alia nodded.

"That's right, Harry. You're many, many years into the future." She replied.

"B-But what about my family...?" Harry asked timidly. Alia took a deep breath.

"They've...been dead for many, many years, Harry..."

Harry's world stopped. 'D-dead?' he thought with wide eyes. His family was…gone. His uncle was right he was all alone now, no one to take care of him, the one home he always knew…was gone. He felt the tears gather in his eyes as he felt his world shatter.

Aila noticed the child's heart beat increase and also noticed his shallow breaths. She became very concerned as she saw his eyes dilate and tears started to fall. "Harry?" she asked concern evident in her tone.

"Alone…alone…alone…" he mumbled softly in a broken tone.

"Alone?" Alia's eyes widened. "Harry, you KNOW you're not alone!"

"Everyone's gone-"

"And now you have me. And X. And many others."

Harry stared up at her with teary eyes that would have broken the robot girls heart if she had one. "Y-You are?" he asked his tone broken yet there was a small spark of hope in his eyes.

Aila gave him a small smile and ran her hand through his hair. "Of course." She took a deep breath. "I may not know who your family was. But there is something I have learned while working here."

"What?"

"That family is not just connected by blood." She said with a small smile. "Family comes in all forms. Yet all hold a key thing. And that Harry is that they care and wish for you to be well and happy. That is family."

"F-Family…" he muttered. All he knew of family was his relatives. When he thought that word he remembered the beatings, cold looks, and dismissal of his own self. Yet…when he thought of having a mommy and daddy his look changes. He sees loving green eyes with red hair and hair like his own with a massiveness smile. That brings him warmth, that gives him the happy feeling that he had held onto his whole life.

Now he was getting a similar warmth from Miss Aila and it confused him but also made him glad. He sniffed and nuzzled into her stomach and cried. Cried for the loss of his old family, and the gaining of something new.

Aila blinked in surprise and tightened her hold on him. "Oh my...Are you all right...?" She asked gently.

"I-I'm happy..." He said softly. "REALLY happy..." Aila smiled.

"Oh. I'm glad."

Harry nuzzled into her embrace as Aila ran her fingers through his hair just letting him cry as much as he needed. While she did this she decided to do some resource on the family and what she found did not sit well with her.

The man named Vernon Dursley was reported to be a greedy slime ball of a human being. He was huge and mean spirited to many people even to his own family eventually. Reports had indicated that he died in an asylum screaming about magic and freaks.

Petunia Dusley, the wife did no better. She became a social outcast after a specific point in her life. Reports once said that she had talked about a sister and son being such good kids as if wearing a mask. She died in her home in a cupboard under the stairs with tear stains in her eyes.

The youngest of the family. Dudley Dursley seemed to be forever trapped in a cycle of jail time and crimes. His first time in court was when a pipe flew from his hands and into the window of a car smashing the man across the head. He did not win.

All and all the family was less then terrific and Aila was glad that the child was here in her protective arms then back in that time with those horrible people.

She shook her head in disgust. 'Awful...Just awful...' She thought.

Harry looked up at her slowly, sniffling. "Wh-What's gonna happen to me, Miss Aila...?" He asked softly. The feminine robot smiled.

"Well, I guess you'll be staying with me for the time being." She replied.

"Y-You're sure...?"

"Of course I am."

Harry nuzzled into her with a sniff. "Thank you."

Aila smiled down at him content. "Your welcome buddy."

'RING. RING.'

Aila sighed as she placed a hand over her communicator. "This is Aila."

"Zero reporting in. Were back at the base, Axle is getting looked over as we speak."

Aila let out a soft sigh of relief at that. "That's good. Is the hothead okay?"

A snort was her answer as she held back a chuckle. "He'll be fine. I've heard some rumors about a human in the base and that you were responsible"

Aila nodded. "Yes, that's right. His name is Harry, and I'm taking care of him." She explained.

"I see...What's the story?"

"He's from the past."

"The past? You mean from Light and Wily's time?"

"No...I think further back than that."

"Further?" the surprise was evident in his voice.

"Yes. I have an old photo from around…wow the late 1980's" she said with wide eyes as she stared at the family photo and the date that was engraved on the bottom.

"That far back? How'd he get here?"

"I don't know." She said with a troubled look. "But there was a disturbance in the north district where I found him."

"Hmmm. I'll ask someone to look into the matter. Maybe find a reason why he was sent here."

"Thanks Zero." She said with a small grin.

"Anytime Aila. Zero out."

Aila smiled as the transmission cut off. Harry tilted his head curiously. "Who was that?" Aila smiled.

"Oh, just a friend of mine." She replied, patting his head.

"His name is Zero?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"That's a cool name..."

Aila held a hand to her lips to cover the amused chuckle that escaped her. "Well he is pretty cool." She said.

Harry nodded and then let out a yawn.

Aila noticed and gave him a tender smile. "Let's get you into a bed for a nap." She lifted up from her seat and cradled the child in her arms and walked out of the room. She walked down the halls past many reploids as they all stared at the navigator and human child.

She didn't mine the attention but little Harry was trying to make himself feel as small as possible. She frowned slightly as she realized that he did not like the attention.

"I know, everybody, it's an interesting sight, but please stop staring." She said firmly but fairly. They all got the message and obediently turned away.

"Th-Thank you, Miss Aila..." Harry said softly. She smiled and ran her fingers through his hair.

"Really shy, huh?" She asked sympathetically.

Harry gave a timid nod. "Sorry…"

"Don't be buddy. It's okay to be shy. Remember X?" she asked.

Harry nodded remembering the nice blue robot.

She gave him an amused smile. "He was shy when he first came here."

"R-Really?"

"He would barley talk to anyone and hated being in a crowd. It was amusing at first but thankfully Zero got to him and made him start interacting with the others." She said thankful.

Harry tilted his head. "Made him?"

"That's right. I'll probably get you to interact with a few others too." Harry looked down. "But not until you're ready." She said gently. Harry looked relieved, then yawned again.

"Sleepy..." He mumbled. Aila smiled.

"I know." She cooed. "We'll get you rested." The female robot walked along in silence before eventually coming to her quarters. "This is my room, Harry."

"S'nice..." Harry mumbled softly.

"Thank you, I try." Aila said, amused.

She walked into the room and frowned slightly as she had noticed a bed next to her recharging station. She walked over and saw a note attached to it. She lifted the note and began to read.

"Thought you two could need this old thing. Better than a table or a pod. Sincerely X"

She shook her head with a fond smile. "You are always looking out for us aren't you." She murmured and laid the child down on the bed and watched with a gentle smile as he nuzzled into the pillows.

She ran her fingers through his hair as he relaxed more in the bed. She lifted the blanket up and tucked him in. He smiled softly up at her and reached out to grip her hand with a soft squeeze. Aila smiled softly down at him and griped his hand gently watching his eyes slowly close and soon enter the realm of dreams. She watched this content before a slight knock was heard outside her door. She leaned down and kissed him on the cheek causing him to smile in his sleep.

She opened the door to see the red armor and long blond hair of Zero along with X and the black armored form of Axl.

She turned to X with a small grateful look before slowly closing the door to her room she let out a deep breath. "Okay before you start the questions. Please keep it down. I just put him down for a nap." She sounded so much like a mother it was shocking.
