"Look, I'll find my own place after it's all said and done." David, after getting kicked out of the apartment his mother was renting, found himself calling Oshua. It was two weeks after the death of David's mother and the Prime Brother's father. "Please...I need help. All the help I can get. Until I can get on my feet. Please."
"You can come on over and stay for as long as you like." Carter had a will put in place, in case he would die. Oshua was put in charge, and if anything should happen to him on down, Miles would be in charge. "Don't worry about clothes, I got some hand-me-downs that will fit you perfectly." Oshua gave David the location of the Prime apartment.
"Thanks. I dunno what I'd do without you guys." David replied
"Don't mention it." Edwin replied
"Yeah. You're family." Alex told him
"Bring some Doritos!" Miles teased
"I'm kicking Miles's ass when I see him." David remarked
"I'll help you in that department too." Oshua chuckled.
"Oooo....Miles you're about to get jumped!" Alex teased
"Aye-shut up!" Miles tackled Alex to the ground and started fighting him
"See you when you get here David."
"Right."
===============================================================================
"Well look who it is?" Katsuo, the school bully because he came from the rich part of Night-City, "It's the Trash Brothers."
"Normally we'd just entertain him." Edwin remarked, "Should we just ignore him and go on with our day?"
"Sounds like a plan." Oshua replied
"Go on then...Ignore me like the little bitches you are. Like your daddy raised you four to be."
"Careful Katsuo, just because you got a martial arts chip doesn't mean none of us here can't whoop your ass. Because we can. You're just not worth the effort." Oshua remarked
"What about you David?" Katsuo tried to verbally attack David, "I mean...Your whorish mother died a grueling death just to make sure your sorry ass could attend this prestigious Academy. And you pissed it all away. She would have been better off aborting your sorry ass and trying again. It would actually save us all the trouble."
"YOU....SON OF A BITCH!-"
"David no!"
"Let'em learn the hard way." Oshua told Miles as David tried to piece up Katsuo, only for Katsuo to display the benefits of his martial arts installments. He broke David's arm, nose, and a tooth. When he wanted to finish David off, Oshu stood infront of the battered David, daring Katsuo to challenge him. Katsuo wasn't stupid. He knew that Oshua and his brothers carried upgrades that would slide him in their sleep. He ceased his assault on David and walked away from him and the brothers.
===============================================================================
"I hate this fucking place." David sniffled, on the train with Oshua and his brothers, "Why should I have to suffer for being different?"
"Better yet...Why should you have to suffer for being special?" Oshua replied
"I ain't fucking special." David snarled, "Don't fucking lie to me Oshua. You're better than that."
"I'm not trying to make you feel better." Oshua smiled, "I saw you stand up and try to fight a guy, despite his martial arts upgrade. You took the beating like a man, and that's what makes you special. Because with every beating, there is endurance. And with every endurance is strength."
"Apparently not enough to stand against Katsuo." David replied, "....That spine...That piece of tech...Did any of you see where my mom got that from?"
"Wherever she got that from, she was probably going to sell it to the highest bidder." Edwin told David. "However...Because she's dead, the customer didn't recieve the supply that he or she demanded."
"....So why not install that in me?" David asked out loud
"I mean...I've studied metallic transplants and dad taught me a thing or two about them before he died." Oshua replied, "He also has a lab warehouse 30 minutes outside of Night-City. If you want, I can install the spine within your body. After that though, you may have to find an actual doctor."
"I trust you Oshua. I trust Edwin. I trust Alex. I trust Miles. Why find someone else, When I already got a medic?" David told Oshua, "I trust Oshua...To help me chrome the fuck up."
"......" Oshua smiled, "Then you won't be disappointed, I'm going to need assistance however."
"I'm in."
"Me too."
"Count me in, I wanna help." Oshua smiled when he saw Edwin, Alex and Miles agreeing to help him with the Mecha-spine.
"Alright. We'll get off and use our anime cyber-powers to get the spine and head onwards from there. Sounds like a plan?"
"YEAH!"

A Cyberpunk Story
FanfictionThis is another fan-made Cyberpunk Edgerunner story that I wanted to post on Wattpad. I don't own Cyberpunk or the franchise generally speaking, but it is very amazing. I dare say it's up there with Samurai Jack Season 5.
