The TEEN TITANS Chapter-3 / CYBORG
Written by Eugene Marvin –aka- NPhillydogg@aol.com
SCENE-1<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
STAR LABS, NYC
"UNNHHH...!!" grunted 17yr old Victor Stone [aka: Cyborg (half man, half machine)...], holding up nearly 50 tons of heavy metal overhead, keeping it from crushing down on him [magnetically] as the power kept increasing every few minutes...!
"His stress levels are entering into the RED, Dr. Stone..." said Silas Stone's assistant [Samuel Simms], reading off Victor's vitals in reaction to his experiment...! "...if he goes on any further he could go into cardiac arrest...!"
"You're doing FINE, Son...!" said Silas, over the intercom [safely in their observation booth, monitoring his progress]! "We're increasing the intensity by another 5 tons...!" he added, before turning the dial that increased the magnetic pull on the machines!
"ARRHHGG...!!" grunted Vic, feeling even MORE pressure building on his back and shoulders...! Despite his body being over 80% metal, he could still feel the pressure of stress shooting through his human AND metal components...!
"It's too heavy...!" he shouted, feeling his metal legs about to buckle...!
"Nonsense son...!" argued Silas [having BUILT Cyborg himself]! "What's with all this groaning and grunting...? You act like you're made of flesh instead of titanium...! If you want to be a superhero like Superman..., you're going to have to UP your power levels! 50 tons is NOTHING to The Man Of Steel...!"
"I'm NOT Superman..." challenged Victor [through grit teeth]! "...and I never said I wanted to be a superhero...!"
"Sir, his heartrate and stress levels are through the roof..." warned Simms, getting ignored by the head doctor...!
"You have no choice, Victor..." argued Silas! "...ever-since you stepped onto the football field you've been a HERO to children everywhere...! That doesn't stop now because you can't play football anymore! Now you're an even BIGGER hero to the world!
"Fight THROUGH the pain! Your body can TAKE it!"
"It's too much...!" shouted Cyborg, falling to one knee as the machine started to compress in on him like a compactor [crushing him]!
"OHMYGOD...!" screamed Sam, reaching to shut down the system...!
"NO!" yelled Silas, slapping his hand away from the controls! "He HAS to do it himself!"
"Are you insane...?!" asked Sam, suddenly believing Silas crazy! "He's your SON...!"
"I know exactly WHO he is..." fought Silas, turning towards his assistant [angrily]! "...and I know what's good for him! How DARE you question me and my motives in my own laboratory...!"
"Arrhhhgg..." grunted Victor, feeling the pressure building, which meant his father was NOT going to let him off the hook easily...!
Transferring all of his energy into his arms and legs [thereby increasing his strength], he stood up and SHOVED the top of the machine into the ceiling, "ARRHHHGGG...!!" completely mangling the machinery into a twisted mass of metal as he stepped out of the wreckage unscathed...!
"Is THAT what you wanted, dad...?" he asked angrily, staring at his father in the safety room!
"THAT was ten million dollars' worth of machinery you just destroyed, son...!" said the scientist, walking out of the protective booth!
"You think I give a FUCK about your machines...?!" asked Victor [getting angrier]!
"It's MY WORK in cybernetics that kept you alive after your car accident..." rebutted Silas, "...I would THINK you'd be a little more `appreciative' of the mechanics...?"
"Don't make me SHOW you what I think of your precious laboratory, dad...!" challenged Victor, smashing another machine [ready to rip the whole room apart] before walking out of the lab...!
Silas turned to Sam and frustration...! "Well...?...don't just stand there Dr. Simms..., you're his therapist..., -DO something!" ordered the older man!
Sam sighed as he chased after Victor..., catching up to him in the hallway...! "Vic...!" he called, running through the corridors [filled with other scientists, interns, and technicians]...! "Vic...!" he called again as he got closer...! "Victor..., calm down!" he warned, grabbing the cyborg by the arm!
Victor Stone spun around [pissed]..., his half-human face twisted in anger as he looked as if he could HIT something...!
Samuel Simms was startled by Vic's aggression, but tried not to show it...! "Why are you so angry...?"
"WHY...?" asked Vic, looking at Sam as if he were crazy! "Weren't you just IN that room...? Haven't you MET my father...? He's incorrigible!"
"He IS..." agreed Sam [escorting Victor towards the large wall of picture windows reflecting the view of the city outside]! "...but despite his faults and abrasiveness..., I believe he still means well by you...!"
"Does he...?" questioned Victor [doubtfully], staring down at the traffic driving by the building on the streets below...! "All he's ever cared about is his WORK...! Mom argued with him about for years! He never cared for us! For me!
"He never wanted children in the first place!"
"Victor..., you know that's not true...!" reasoned Sam [sympathetically]!
"It IS!" insisted Vic [recalling their arguments]! "He was NEVER there for us! He was ALWAYS at work! I watched my mom pack her bags to leave him a thousand times! But she never did! She wanted her son to have a father!" he recalled, closing his eyes to stifle the pain...!
"If it wasn't for ME she would've left him! I'M the reason she stayed! I'M the reason she's dead now...! HE blames me for her death!"
"NO he doesn't...!" challenged Sam [knowing that wasn't true]...!
"Yes he does...!" debated Vic! "I can SEE it in his eyes every time he looks at me...! He wishes it was ME that died in that car accident instead of HER...!" he added, accidentally crushing the metal railing surrounding the wall of windows which made up Star Lab's unique front design...!
"He HATES me!"
"We've TALKED about this before, Victor..." said Sam! "...YOU feel guilty about your mother's death because YOU were driving! You project YOUR guilt onto him...! But HE'S never said he blamed you for your mother's death...! Has he...?"
"He doesn't have to!" said Victor, "Killing my mom was just the excuse he needed to hate me all the more!
"But it's okay..., -I hate him back!"
"This isn't healthy, Victor..." insisted Sam, "...in fact, it's dangerous...! Your new body's very powerful..., you HAVE to be in control of your actions at all times...! You can't go off the handle and lash out...!...someone might get hurt!" added the doctor, standing next to Victor as he released the metal bar, letting it crumble to the floor...!
"I...I wouldn't hurt anyone purposely...!" insisted Vic, looking at his metal hands! "I TRY to stay in control every minute of every day..., but its hard! He's turned me into a monster!"
"You're NOT a monster, Victor..." said Sam [soothingly], watching the former athlete fight back tears...! "...you're a MAN... a man with a BIG heart!"
Vic glanced over at Sam, teary-eyed...!
"Unfortunately it ain't my HEART people run away screaming from when they look at me on the street and cringe...!" countered Vic [having experienced it numerous times since his transition]!
"I used to be a world-class athlete..." he recalled, "...every college with a football team was scouting ME for their school..." he praised, being wooed by some of the more prestige schools! "...then the ACCIDENT happened and my dad put me in this HIDEOUS metal body...! I know actually what I look like!" he reasoned, confidently!
"I know because I have to look at myself in the mirror every day...!" he concluded, before smashing out one of the windows and jumping 15 stories to the sidewalk below..., walking off as if he's just stepped off the curb...!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"What do you mean he's gone...?" shouted Dr. Silas [upon Sam's return]!
"Your JOB is to treat Victor for his adaption and depression...! YOU'RE supposed to keep him CALM during his progression! If you can't even keep tabs on him, then WHAT use are you...?!" asked the older man [as lab technicians came in to clean up and rebuild his mess]...!
"I'm Victor's therapist...NOT his psychiatrist!" argued Sam!
"Taking a once active and healthy sports athlete and sticking him in a metal CAN for the rest of his life would be traumatic for ANYONE..., least of all a teenager...!" he feuded, suddenly seeing all of Victor's complaints about his father come to light...! "Pushing and pushing him to accept this body before he's ready..., -AFTER destroying his chances of ever becoming a pro-baller..., is only going to result in alienating him even more!
"As HE said, he's not Superman...! He wasn't BORN with this power!"
Silas wandered off into his private office nearby...[away from the cleaning crew]! "So what am I supposed to DO with him...?" he asked [sounding lost]! "He's my SON! He's all I've got left in this world!"
Sam sympathized, knowing both father AND son were hurting inside..., and trying hard NOT to show it to each other...!
"You could start by TALKING to him...!" reasoned the therapist! "Have either of you TALKED about your wife's death...? About how it's affected BOTH of you...? Victor's carrying a lot of baggage about his mother's death..., bagging no 17yr old should be carrying at his age...! He blames himself! And he thinks YOU do too!"
"But I don't..." said Silas [surprised to hear Vic's claims]...!
"TELL him so..." reasoned Sam, heading for the exit...! "...you'd be surprised how much louder they hear soft sincerity over shouting...!" he added, before taking his leave...!
SCENE-2<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
THE COLLEGE
18yr old Kyle Clayton [better known as: Omen] left his last class of the day, then took a taxi to the warehouse LOFT of Dick Greyson [aka: Robin `the boy wonder']...!
Kyle paid the driver before exiting the cab, spotting Dick's sports car parked inside the lonesome parking lot...! The gates were locked, so Kyle waited for the taxi driver to pull off before sprouting WINGS from his back..., using them to fly over the 10ft. high chain link fence and land in Greyson's parking lot [without incident]!
He then walked up and rang the doorbell [before being buzzed in]...!
"Dick...?" he called, looking up at the empty loft [overhear]..., before realizing Greyson was in the first-floor area [where the extensive gym and training areas were] lifting weights...!
Kyle dropped his book-bag on the floor and walked over to where Dick was lying on his back, bench-pressing nearly triple his weight, and sweating like an interrogation suspect...[having obviously been at it for hours]!
"You weren't in school today..." said Kyle [lightly toned], sounding concerned...! "...is everything alright...?" he asked, [sensing (with his powers of empathy) that something was weighing heavily on Dick's mind]...!
Dick ignored Kyle for a moment as he did his last reps [straining]..., then dropped the heavy weights in their cradle before sitting up and wiping his sweaty brow with a towel...!
"I'm fine..." he lied, getting up from the bench [wearing only a flimsy pair of sweat shorts and sneakers]...! "...just didn't feel like going to classes today...!" he added, walking over to the punching bag, where he began to beat the shit out of it!
Kyle knew he was lying!
"Is this about last night...?" he asked, sympathetically...! "About Bruce Wayne dropping by unannounced and catching us in BED together...?"
Dick kick-boxed the bag for a few punches [his muscles glistening prominently as he worked out] before finally taking a break...!
"Kinda-sorta...!" he said, not really wanting to talk to his new boyfriend about his old boyfriend...!
"You still LOVE him...!" stated Kyle [feeling Dick's anguish of the situation]...!
"Of course I do..." said Dick, looking directly at Kyle [for the first time since he arrived]!
"...I always will..." he added, looking away! "...he just..., frustrates me...! WHY was he here last night...? It wasn't like my leaving was a big surprise..., I talked about going to college for well over a year before I did it...!"
"Perhaps he really didn't expect you would go...?" suspected Kyle [speaking for Bruce]!
"Then that's HIS burden to bear..., -not mine!" argued Dick [angrily]!
"He NEVER took me seriously as an adult...! He still thinks of me as CHILD in a `Robin' costume...! I'm surprised he didn't still take me out for ice-cream after our missions...!"
"I'm confused..." said Kyle [getting his signals crossed]...! "...are we talking about Bruce Wayne...or Batman...?" he asked [catching Dick by surprise]...!
Kyle gasped [bewildered]...! "IS Bruce Wayne Batman...?" he surprised [much to Dick's horror]! But while Dick's steely expression didn't reveal an answer..., his inner body temperature changed significantly, indicating a cool shiver running up his spine...!
"ohmygod he IS, isn't he...?" thrilled Omen [having figured it out]...!"THAT explains everything..." he continued, piecing it all together...! "...THAT'S how he was able to sneak into the loft without either of us discovering it...! THAT'S why you're so pissed at yourself..., WHY you feel like you're being pulled in TWO corners at once...!"
Dick was beside himself...! He couldn't believe Kyle had just surmised secrets he'd been carrying since he was 8yrs old...! What would Batman say...?
"Kyle..., you CAN'T tell anybody about this...!" he pleaded [feeling as if he'd just betrayed Bruce]...!
"I won't!" promised Kyle, sincerely! "I...just can't believe I know Batman's TRUE identity, is all...! WOW!" he gleamed [having never would have guessed]!
Kyle `sensed' Dick's concerns..., and walked over to reassure him that his interest in Batman was only as a childhood fan..., nothing more! "Your secrects' safe with me!"
"Good..." said Dick, posing his fists to continue fighting the punching bag...! "...that's ONE LESS thing to worry about...!"
Kyle walked up behind him..., reaching around to touch into his groin [feeling for his sweaty cock]...!
"If you're looking to work out some frustrations..., I could think of a more productive way...!" he hinted, turning Dick towards him as he started to drop to his knees in front of him, pulling at the string on his shorts...!
"I'm all sweaty...!" protested Dick, pulling away...! "Let me shower first...!" he insisted, heading for the gym's shower room...!
"I'll join you...!" offered Kyle, following behind him as they disappeared into the locker room...!
The warm stray of hot water was always soothing to Dick's aching muscles after an intense workout session...! He let the water run over his head, soaking his dark hair to his scalp as he faced the shower wall and let the waters cascade all over his naked body!
Kyle watched as Dick stood there [meditating]...! He couldn't help staring at the gymnast's muscular body..., unable to believe THAT was his boyfriend...! He walked up behind Dick, grabbing the soap from the wall before lathering it all over his broad back and muscled shoulders...!
"mmm..." moaned Dick, softly [seductively]...! "...that feels good...!"
"Does it...?" asked Kyle [stepping in closer], reaching around to soap up Dick's torso...!
"How does THAT feel...?" he asked, pressing his groin into Dick's ass [his erection poking between Dick's thighs]...!
"THAT feels good too...!" whispered Dick, reaching back grasp Kyle's cock with his soapy fist..., guiding it up between his ass cheeks...!
Kyle couldn't believe his LUCK..., as Dick placed his cockhead against his tiny rosebud and pushed back onto it...letting it penetrate his anal ring before slowly sliding into his heated depths...!
Dick immediately tightened his ass ring around Kyle's embedded prick..., knowing THIS was how Bruce liked it!
"Oooohhh..." moaned Kyle, hugging him from behind as he ground into his butt!
Dick braced himself against the shower wall as he prepared to get fucked! Kyle stood up straight as he gripped Dick's waist and started thrusting into him...! Dick could feel Kyle's 7.5" cock sliding in and out of him [gently, smoothly], not like how Bruce often fucked him [wild and rough] with his 9.5" cock!
Dick enjoyed the soothing difference, preferring the art of love making over a frantic fucking any day!
Kyle wasn't used to being the one on top in his relationships..., usually much more content with being on the receiving end...! But he felt as if this was something Dick desired..., something he needed to help him get over whatever was troubling him with The Batman!
He could feel Dick's asshole gripping his cock as he fucked, the powerful rectal muscles sucking at his shaft like a hungry mouth..., pushing him ever closer to the edge, far soon than he ever expected...!
"Fuck me, Kyle..." moaned Greyson, reaching back overhead with one hand [the other still braced against the wet wall], gripping a fistful of Kyle's wet red hair...! "...fuck me...!" he pleaded, needly!
"oohh..." moaned Kyle [weakly], burying his face in Dick's neck as he picked up the pace with his thrusting hips!
His hands moved up Dick's torso, rubbing over his muscular body and erect nipples...! Dick dropped his free hand down into his groin..., stroking his own hard cock as he pushed his ass back further to be fucked [matching Kyle stroke for stroke]!
He wanted it IN him..., wanting to feel his guts flooded with the slick sliminess of his ball-juice! He could feel HIS lips on his neck, kissing and sucking gently as he moaned aloud, feeling his own loins starting to boil lustfully!
"I'm CLOSE..." whispered Kyle, unable to hold off much longer...!
"Me too!" whispered Dick, jacking his cock faster...just as the cream suddenly shot from his flaring dickhead..., -splattering all over the shower wall in front of him...!
"ARRHHHHHHHGG...!!" he cried aloud, losing his load, his gripping anus now flexing and convulsing strongly about Kyle's digging prick...!
"ohgod, I'm coming...!" gasped Kyle, throwing his head back as he suddenly rammed into Dick's guts and unleashed his own creamy tide straight into him...!
"ARRHHHHH...!!" he too cried, falling against Dick's back as the sperm drained from his body...! Both men stood locked together as the shower water continued to pour onto them as they cuddle together like two buoys in a storm...!
SCENE-3<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
ELSEWHERE
Vic Stone walked along the streets of NY alone [during rush hour]..., his metal body hidden underneath a baggy sweat suit, a hoody pulled low over his brow to mask his face from the public [not wanting to frighten people]...!
Where he used to be revered as an athlete..., he was now being shunned! Was THIS what his life was to amount to...? He stopped atop the Brooklyn Bridge, staring down at the darkening waters below..., wondering what it would feel like to simply jump in and sink straight to the bottom...?
Would THAT solve all of his problems...?...or simply create new ones...?
He climbed up onto the safety rail of the bridge, contemplating jumping! Would his father even be MOVED by his death [he wondered]...? Would he even notice...?...or would he be relieved? Victor had an idea..., as he took a leap of faith and jumped OFF the side of the bridge...!
"NO!" yelled someone [a witness], as his heavy metal body quickly picked up descent before SLASHING into the icy cold river below...!
In an instant Victor could see his life flashing before his eyes..., as he sank to the bottom of the bay like a sinking ship! Water entered his lungs, preventing him from breathing! In the end he saw his mother again..., holding her arms out to him joyously [like she often did]...! Victor saw himself running towards her..., then saw nothing but total darkness...!
Someone jumped into the river after him [having saw him leaping off the bridge]! As soon as he touched the water, he transformed into something amphibious, swimming the depths of the Hudson to retrieve the body! Once ashore, he transformed back into person..., then proceeded to preform CPR, reviving Victor shortly thereafter [against his will]!
"haaeeyy..." groaned Vic [deliriously], after coming back to life..., lying on the banks of the muddy river with a PURPLE DOG beaming cheerfully next to him...!
"...HEY..." he called, sitting up..., coughing and choking the last of the water logged in his throat...! "...what'chu doing here, boy...?" he asked the DOG, tickling him behind the ear...! "...did you SEE the man who rescued me...?" he asked, looking around [not really expecting the k9 to answer back]!
The DOG leapt up into Victor's lap, licking his face all over [enthusiastically]! Victor couldn't help but laugh, as he tried avoiding allowing the dog to lick him in the mouth...!
"Are you all ALONE, boy...?" he asked [sitting on the edge of the banks], realizing the dog wasn't wearing a name tag! "Me too...!" he said, deciding to keep the dog as a pet!
