The Teen Titans

Victor Stone

Cyborg's POV
I sat in my room, my window closed with my blinds closed as well. No lights on with the door closed. I didn't want anyone to see me, and I didn't want to see myself. I then heard a knock on my door, and I knew exactly who it is "Go away!" I exclaimed, because I wanted nothing to do with this person after what he did to me.

Two weeks, my pop and mom were working on some experiment down in the basement. As the good son I was, I got some snacks and took it down to them so they would have energy to work more. Worse mistake ever! I came down to see some weird lookin' creature eating my mom alive. After that, it went at me and nearly killed me. My dad being the scientist he is, rebuild my torn apart body with cybernetic parts. Causing me to become the freak I am today.

"Vic, it's been two week. You have to go to school." my dad said, and I turned and gave him a angry stare. "You expect me to go to school lookin' like this!? A freak!?" I asked very aggressively. He paused, not knowing how to respond. "Listen Victor. You're already a senior and you have a few more months left until you can graduate. Just stick out 'til then alright?" he asked of me, and I was hesitant to say yes, but I did anyway. I don't know how this is going to work, but I'll give it a shot.

Before I went to school, I stopped at the Rec Center to talk to an old mentor of mine, Robert Hawkins. He's helped through a lot in my life, so I'm hoping he could at least give me some advice right now. I came into the center with a hood up and some gloves on saw Mr. Hawkins and he saw me "Victor!" he exclaimed and shook my hand, very glad to see me again after two weeks. "Jesus son, you've gotten stronger. Must be them football work outs." he joked around, not knowing about the extra weight on my body now. "Yo Mr. Hawkins, can I talk to you for a minute?" I asked "Of course son! Sit down." Mr. Hawkins said and is at down across from his desk. "So, what do you do when you're different from everyone else and you know when they see you, they're gonna be freaked out by you?" I asked, and he sighed "Vic, as a young African American this is something you unfortunately go through in life. But, you never should acknowledge that ignorant behavior. God created you the same as anyone else in Dakota, and even the world. Don't ever be ashamed of who you are, okay Victor?" he explained to me, and I nodded and smiled. He's right, but I don't know how much of that applies to robots. I guess I'll find out at school.

I made it to school and tried to stay hidden as possible. "Yo V!" I heard, and I turned around to see my jock buddy Reggie "Yo wassup bro." I greeted and he shook my hand. I tried to hard to watch my strength this time. "Where you been dawg? Its been two weeks!" he asked, and I didn't wanna tell him the real reason "Had a bad bug man." I lied, best thing I could come up with at the moment. "Oh damn that sucks. Well, hope you cool for today 'cause practice is today." he told me and I nodded and we went off to class. In class I out my head down with my hood down, ignoring everyone until my teacher said "Mister Stone, sit up and take off that hood." My heart dropped and I sat up real fast "Um...is it cool if I just sit up and just leave the hood on?" I asked, really not wanting to take it off, but my teacher gave me a look pretty much saying no. You know what, it probably won't be that bad. They'll probably think it's cool, screw it! I took my hood off to show my cybernetic face, and I heard gasped all around me. They all looked at me as if I wasn't human. "Dear God! What the hell are you!?" I heard and another said "He's a freak! Call the police!" and the teacher ran to get security. Shit! I got up and jumped out of the window and started running. Everything failed.

Fuck this! I knew this would never work! Now everyone knows how much of a fresk I am! I'm like an outcast now! Well then, it's time I act like one! I'm leaving Dakota to go somewhere where no one will know or care about me. Somewhere like, San Francisco.
