A Cyborg 009 fluffly ficlet.
---
A man looks up at the skies of New York. His brown eyes shinme as he thinks of the friends he left behind some months ago, knowing that they remember him as fondly as he does.
Life was so hard and complicated until he met them. He just had himself to lean on, unable to trust anybody and livign practically tangled in a web of violence and blood in the Bronx. He had managed to keep himself sane, but every day he saw children and youngsters being trapped in the same lifestyle he managed to barely escape from. To, few later, be kidnapped and made into a Cyborg.
But after the fateful night when they decided to escape, everything started to change. They worked hard together to defeat Black Ghost and all their evil members, one by one. And not only that - they gradually managed to win him over, making his distrust and anger slowly fade away...
Now, Jet Link could bring himself to re-build his life. He had a part-time work as a monitor for children that were rescued from the streets, Cyborg friends that never let pass a week without calling him or writing letter to him, two great still-human friends like Cathy and Jimmy, and the hope that he'd be able to make his own life and his pupils' better from now on.
"Hey, Jet!".
He turns and sees a black-haired girl no older than 15 run at him. "Ah, Jenny. How are you and your mom today?".
Jenny hands him a package. "Here. My mom made this chocolate cake for you, as a way to say thanks for everything you've done for me...".
Jet smiled at this. One big, honest smile. "Tell her that I really thank her and you, then. And make sure you get your schoolwork done so that you can come to tonight's reunion, eh?".
"I promise I will, Jet!".
She waves at him and runs, most likely going back home, and leaving a smiling Jet behind...
Priceless little things like this really helped to make Jet's world a little better.
