Jett goes to meet up with Dane and Gin a few weeks before his vacation trip to Earth get's mugged.

Jett stepped out of his car and stretched. Sure it'd only taken half an hour to get down here, about as long at it took him to walk across town back upstairs but still, sitting in a car like that wasn't exactly his favorite thing to do. Then again, anyone who takes pleasure about being cooped up inside a car like that for any extended period of time was either a race car driver or... well something else.

He glanced back at his vehicle and watched it auto lock and the windows tint. It flashed blue for a brief second before returning to normal, far to fast for any normal human to see. If anyone other than him attempted to gain access to his car it would warn them once before shocking the perpetrator. Any further action would result in the vehicle leaving and going to find it's owner.

Jett sighed and placed his hands in his pockets before walking out of the parking lot, flashing his card over the scanner, paying for his spot as always, before walking onto the sidewalk. It was cold down in Geofront 7 like always so winter gear was a bit of a must. He wore a comfortable Spyder Winter jacket as well as a pair of gloves.

Just like every other weekend he was visiting Gin at her club. Not that there was anything wrong with that, just that it was a routine he knew. Hell the only thing that was mildly different about today was that Dane had arrived in his own car rather than mooching a ride off of Jett. No matter, in a few weeks his summer classes would be over, and he'd be on his way to Earth. And Dane would be... well Jett didn't really know where Dane would be. The bastard generally did whatever he wanted. Why he was on Ganymede right now was beyond him.

After walking past a series of shops and stores he reached an alley way. His shortcut to Gin's building. Tall spires rose up to the ice ceiling on either side of him as he walked through the alley way. There were clothes lines hanging with a few garments being dried near the old thermal heaters by the windows. The atmosphere here had an odd warmth to it, part of the reason the android enjoyed using it. There were a few recycling cans and dumpsters littering the alleyway. Old piping ran up the sides of the buildings pumping anything from steam to generator coolant up to the upper levels of the buildings.

Jett reached into his pocket and pulled out a small thermos containing a mix of black tea and coconut juice. Just as he took a sip a noise reached his ears.

The sound of a gun cocking behind his head was heard. He sighed.

"Turn around slowly and no one get's hurt."

Still holding his drink the android turned. Four men were standing in front of him. One held a small hand held mass driver. Another held a baseball bat. Another had an nanotech augment suit on, used for heavy lifting. The last one had a small scanner in his hand as well as a small revolver. They all looked like they belonged to one of the gangs that ran around in this part of the town. Still, getting mugged down here wasn't very common.

A dull beeping tone got the android's attention.

"Shielded boss," the man with the scanner said.

The man with the mass driver sighed, "Take out your wallet."

Jett took a sip of his drink, "Why?"

"Because I fucking said so. Take out your fucking wallet before I fucking shoot a hole in your fucking head."

"No. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got somewhere to be."

He turned to leave just as the barrel of the mass driver smacked his drink out of his hands, spilling it onto the ground. It steamed on the cool asphalt surface.

"No you don't," said the leader.

Jett frowned, "I was enjoying that."

The man growled and aimed the weapon at the android's foot and fired. Jett grimaced lightly but remained still as a loud bang echoed through the alley.. He glanced down at his shoe. A smoking hole was in the tongue of his sneaker. He frowned and lifted his foot up and stuck a finger into the hole and removed the mass. It had flatted itself against one of the 'bones' of his Tritainium endoskeleton.

He held the flattened disk in his hand to the astonishment of his attackers. He grinned and dropped the disk. His eyes flashed red.

"Alright, you've got my attention now."

He cracked his knuckles before cracking his neck. A familiar grin flashed across his face as the men started to back away.

"My turn."

He raised his foot and stomped down. The ground shook as the asphalt fractured and cracked beneath his foot. The muggers fell to the ground as chunks of rock flew into the air before falling back to the ground. He walked up to the man with the scanner and grabbed him by the shirt and threw him across the alley way. He impacted a dumpster with a heavy thud, denting the material.

Jett laughed.

He turned just as a metal bat struck his head. The man who swung it screamed and held his wrist as the bat stopped cold and the man's wrist cracked. The bat fell to the ground with a clatter as Jett smiled, and struck out with his left arm, throwing the man into the air. He landed with an unnatural thud/crunch.

The man wearing the suit rushed forward. Jett grinned and moved left just as the man flew by him. The mugger gripped the ground and slowed down before getting back into a fighting stance. Jett glanced at the wall and gripped one of the pieces of piping. The man ran again. Jett smiled and snapped a long segment of the piping off the wall before throwing it down range. It spun through the air before impacting the man in the chest like a javelin. Had he not been wearing the suit it would have gone clear through him. Instead it dropped the man like a rock.

Jett smiled and turned towards the last man remaining, the leader. The man raised his weapon to fire it. Jett smiled. The gun flashed as rounds impacted the android's skull, harmlessly falling away. The man continued shooting, half his rounds missing before he ran out of ammo.

"W-w-what the fuck are you?"

Jett sighed, "I just wanted to enjoy my drink."

He took a step and swung his leg down and kicked a section of broken asphalt into the man's shoulder. The man spun and fell to the ground with a scream. His mass driver fell with a clatter. Slowly he crawled to reach it, an extra magazine in his hands. Just as he was about to grab it, a foot crushed down upon the device, breaking it into pieces.

The mugger looked up at Jett. Parts of the android's skin was missing on his head where masses had from the driver had hit his skull. Jett sighed, he was holding a small bandanna he'd grabbed from one of the lines before wrapping it around his head.

He placed a foot on the man's head and grinned. A whimpering noise could be heard just under the noise of the Android's phone ringing.

He sighed and removed it from his pocket before answering it.

"What?" he asked.

"Where are you?" Dane asked, "We've been waiting for your slow ass for ten minutes now."

"Listen, I ran into a little traffic. I'm coming."

"Well get here faster. The movie starts in a few."

"Alright, calm down. Jeez. Good bye."

He hung up and replaced the device. He glanced down at the whimpering man.

"Well looks like today's you're lucky day."

He removed his foot from his head and continued down the alley way, turning a corner and was soon out of sight. Later police would arrive...

***

Jett reached the building that housed the club. Gin and Dane were waiting just outside the lobby.

"About time you got here," Dane said, "What's with the bandanna?"

Jett pulled the thing off his head revealing the bullet wounds.

"Jeez, what the hell happened to you?" Gin asked.

He rewrapped the bandanna, "Some crazy fucks tried to mug me. I won."

Dane laughed, "Oh man. That's fucking rich."

"Yeah, yeah, it's funny I know."

Gin smiled and removed a large revolver from her pocket, "Never leave the house without one."

"Yeah, no offense girly, I'm not looking to get charged with murder."

"Who said anything about murder?" she asked innocently.

Jett deadpanned, "I thought we were getting a movie."

"We are," Dane said.

"Well then let's get going."

The trio began walking down the street heading towards the Geofront's movie theater.

"Oh, and I'm gonna be going out of town in two weeks," Jett said, "Cat's taking me on a vacation trip to Earth."

"Alright. I'm gonna be gone in a few days anyway so... looks like you'll be all alone for a while, Gin."

"Yeah, yeah. You losers will miss me and you know it."

Jett grinned, "I wouldn't go that far."

"Fuck you."

Jett simply grinned.
