Hey readers I've decided to make a new story!!!!!!!!!!! *balloons and
confetti* I have shamefully fallen out of the Shadow's Rebirth story. I
just don't feel the motivated to keep writing it, now so I'm giving you
something else to keep you all occupied.
WARNING: If you're a Cyborg hater DON'T READ MY STORY. I'LL GET NOTHING BUT
MEANINGLESS FLAMES FROM YOU PEOPLE. There's no need for either of us to
waste our time.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans...but who knows what the future will
hold...

The city slept contently in the crisp September night. Cool, unusually quiet, and slightly windy. Everything was in complete peace for a change. The streets were empty, save for a few insomniacs, hardly anything moved or stirred. Except for one in Titans Tower.
Cyborg stirred uneasily in this sleep. He had been having the same dream for the past week. He personally would have called it a nightmare. It was the same as before. He was in the past when he wasn't known as Cyborg, but his birth name, Victor Stone. He was traveling with his best friend to visit his parents at S.T.A.R. labs. That fateful day, the scientists, including his father, were working on the inter-dimensional study and observation project. Victor's friend, Carmen, was amazed by the scientists' labs and gadgets.
Carmen was a very petite girl, but a fast runner. She had her own style that few criticized. Her hair was jet black with silver streaks in her bangs and the tips of her hair. Her eyes are what Victor loved the most, they were a dark blue, but if you looked closely they seemed to turn lighter closer to the pupil. Carmen had a soft voice, and a creative talent. She would write songs, poems, stories and won several awards. Soccer and track were her best sports, the only sports Victor couldn't surpass her in.
As she tinkered with some gadgets and Victor talked with his mother, a blob creature got through the dimensional barrier and killed Victor's mother. It leaped up to attack Victor, but Carmen got in its way. The blob split in two and attack them both.
"Carmen!" he screamed. They reached out to touch, but the distance was too great and Victor blacked out.
Cyborg woke up in a sweat. Breathing heavily, he looked around to regain his senses. He took a deep breath and glanced at the clock. 2:56 a.m. Cyborg walked over to the far side of his room. He took a framed picture out of a drawer. Carmen was on his back wrapping her left arm around his neck and waving at the camera with the right. He was holding her knees and smiling up at her. Cyborg smiled at the memory, the frowned at the next, that picture was taken only 45 minutes before the accident.
His father had told him that Carmen's body had been completely devoured by the blob thing. They don't exactly know what happened to Carmen, but they just assumed she had died and left it at that.
"I miss you, Carmen," Cyborg whispered. He put the picture down and took out a small music box.
Cyborg wound it up and it began to play his favorite song, Rain's Lullaby. It was one that Carmen had written herself. She had given him the box as a birthday present. The box was dark cherry wood and had the words "to: Victor, from: Carmen" engraved on the bottom. He thought back. He knew the words by heart and remembered the day she first sang it to him.
He and Carmen were walking home from school as it began to downpour. They ran under a bridge for cover. Victor ringed out his sopping wet shirt and Carmen swayed slightly side to side.
"What are you thinking up now?" Victor asked. He knew her body language from all the years he'd known her.
"A song." She answered, eyes closed. Victor leaned against the wall.
"Well, let's hear it," He provoked. Carmen opened her eyes.
"Mmmm, ok," Carmen looked up at the raining sky.
Awakened in the night by a clap of thunder
The darkness is frightening as shadows dance
Clouds cover up the light from the moon
What I need now is someone to hold me
What do I do?
Then I hear the
Tap, tap, tap of the pouring rain
The gentle rhythm as lightning strikes
Tap, tap, tap sings the pouring rain
Shadows and lightning dance in harmony
The thunder applauses the performance at hand
The light and the darkness intertwine
As the rain sings its lullaby
I fall into slumber 'till next time
I hear the
Tap, tap, tap of the pouring rain
The gentle rhythm as lightning strikes
Tap, tap, tap sings the pouring rain
Shadows and lightning dance in harmony
Victor looked at her in awe. The bridge had added a heavenly echo to her magnificent voice. The way she could come up with that by something as simple as rain.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ How was that? Good yes? Ok, I don't want flames, but "helpful" suggestions. None of that "AHH your story sux" crap ok?
