Cyborg sat in his room, sulking and staring at the floor.
"BB has a girl, Rob has a girl, and who would want to like me? No girls
want a robot man..." he said sadly. "There's no one out there like me. Am I
the only robotic human?"
He walked slowly out of his room into the living room, seeing Raven and BB
reading, and Robin teaching Star how to play video games. She was beating
him, surprisingly. Raven and BB just sat there, ignoring everything, except
that Raven looked up when Cy entered the room.
"You are depressed." She said idly. Cy looked at her and sighed, shaking
his head sadly and walked into the kitchen.
"It's nothing." He said, glad she wasn't a telepath. She seemed already to
know what was the problem though. She walked over to him and sat in the
chair at the table next to him.
"Cyborg, you aren't the only hybrid in this city, I've seen a female a few
times. She's quite pretty...but I haven't talked to her. You might catch
her attention." She said, eyeing the expression on his face and walking
away. He stared after her and thought to himself about this...female robot.
Later that day, Cyborg was taking a walk in the city, thinking more to
himself and accidentally walking right into someone, knocking her over.
He got up and gasped, helping the woman up. "I'm so sorry, miss. I wasn't
watching where I was going." He said and stopped his babbling when he
looked at her.
"It's okay." She said softly. She was the other robot hybrid that Raven had
mentioned. This woman had a metal plate on her head, with metal arms and
metal legs that were visible due to the shortness of her skirt. She had tan
skin, close to the shade of Cy's, and she had silky long black hair. She
gasped when she saw that he was also a robot.
"I'm not the only one..." she whispered and reached out to make sure that
his arms were actually metal. Her eyes lit up with excitement and happiness
when she felt the coldness upon her palm.
"Are you...real? I'm not imagining stuff?" he said in disbelief. She nodded and smiled. "Hi...I'm Cyborg. I'm one of the Teen Titans."
"Oh! I've heard of you! I'm new here...I moved in about a month ago. Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Suchi-Rukara, but everyone who has had the courage or lack of fear to talk to me that knows my name call me Suchi. I thought...I thought I was the only half robot...anywhere." She said quietly.
"Same here." Cy answered. Suchi looked at him interestedly. "Hey...Do you wanna go out for pizza? That is, I mean, if you're not doing anything today or something..." Suchi asked quietly and blushed, staring at the ground.
"Sure, I'd love to!" Cy answered, instantly feeling her uneasiness. She beamed at him happily. "Why don't you come and meet the Titans?"
"Um, okay...I guess it won't hurt, but I'm really shy around...anyone that isn't like me..."
"But I'll be there, so you got nothin' to worry about." Said Cy reassuringly, which made Suchi smile. They hooked arms and walked, talking all the way to the Titans Tower.
When they entered, the Titans that were currently sitting in the living room stared at Suchi. Robin was the first to speak.
"Hello, who are you?" he asked.
"Yes, who is your friend, Cyborg?" said Star.
"Cyborg has a girlfriend. It's his birthday, it's his birthday!" said BB gleefully doing a little dance. Suchi giggled and cleared her throat.
"I'm Suchi-Rukara, but my friends---"she glanced quickly at Cyborg, "call me Suchi. I'm glad to meet you all, but I'm new here, so I barely know anything about the Teen Titans, if you'd please fill me in." she blushed slightly and looked at the floor. Star glided over to her with a friendly smile.
"I'll introduce you to everyone! I think you know Cyborg, I'm Starfire, that is Beast Boy, he is Robin, and...Hmmm...I do not see Raven, she must be in her room. Anyway, we're all nice here, so if you need any help or anything, any of us can help!" she said. She clapped her hands together and giggled, gliding back over to Robin, who put his arm around her shoulders semi-protectively. Suchi smiled and scooted closer to Cy, who smiled inwardly.
'At least they all like her.' He thought.
"Well, let's get going before it gets late..." she said quietly, waving to everyone before they left.
At the pizza parlor, they sat at a table chatting. People eventually got used to seeing half robotic people together, so they ignored whatever it was that they talked about.
"So...where did you come from and why did you leave?" Cy asked, helping himself to another slice of pizza.
"I come from a place kinda far from here, it was a wasteland. No one cared about anything, and most of the younger ones...like me, were...abused. It's hard to talk about it. Well, I was beaten severely and was found in the streets unconscious, then a scientist illegally repaired me with robot parts which saved my life. He was hung for helping me. I had to escape or I would've also died." She looked down at her hands, which were clutching a napkin in her lap. Cy looked at her with sadness in his eyes. Sadness for the poor girl in front of him. He reached out a hand and lifted her chin gently with his fingertips.
"Hey, you've got me now. Everything will be better, I promise. I will keep you as safe as I can. Do you want to live with me and the Titans?" he asked. "You may even be able to help, as far as I know. With you being half robot like me, who knows, you might be strong!" He said brightly, looking into her eyes. The deep sparkling brown swirls of sadness and shame. "It'll be okay." Their lips met slowly, the candlelight flickering with a soft gust of wind.
"I believe you." Suchi whispered after they broke apart.
HA! I FINALLY GAVE CYBORG A GIRLFRIEND! See? I can be a caring person...at times!
