A strange one…

Nothing the Same
"Then, after the Accident, the genes of the human race were changed forever. What originally was the dominant genes switched to recessive, and recessive to dominant. As a result, the number of so-called 'disabilities' and 'diseases' had increased dramatically," The professor lectured to his class, pausing to regain his breath before continuing, "And such changes began to emerge with the offspring born in year 1990's. One fine example would be the Teen Titans, found in 2005. The original five members all has a disorder found in their genes, called albinism. I believe you are familiar with that term?" Stopping, the elderly man waited for his students to raise their hands.
Pointing to a Tamaranean female, he nodded as she opened her mouth. "Albinism is when a person is born without color, a result of the absent pigment melanin in the skin, eyes, and hair. The eyes are see-through, so the 'color' we see are actually the blood in their eyes. Typically albinos has weak sight and are rather sensitive to the sunlight." Shutting her mouth, she smiled slightly as the class applauded her.
The old man nodded before asking, "You used the word 'typically' when describing the main points of an albino. Could any other student explain the reason?" At this, a Earthling male raised his hand; after the professor pointed at him, said,
"Some albinos has normal eyesight and wasn't affected as strongly by the sunlight, although the true reason remains a mystery to the scientists today." The teacher nodded before he started to pace.
"Albinism, along with blindness, deafness, and many other disorders had dominated the human race for four centuries, and as I had stated before, perhaps the most well-known case of multiple individuals with same disorder forming a group would be the Teen Titans." As the man spoke, the man sitting in the back closed his eyes as an image came to him.
-The vision-
The white boy sighed, sinking into his seat as his teammates crashed around the room. Rubbing his blood-red eyes, he picked up one of the nine remotes and pressed a button, switching the channels. Between each channel, he caught the impression of himself on the dark television screen. His hair, pure white, lighter than his skin-white as well-, was spiked up and a silver mask covers his eyes.
He wore a light red suit with a yellow R on it along with light green tights and silver boots. His cape, pale yellow and silver, rests on his shoulder as his pale green gloves hugged his hands. Hearing the crashes growing, Robin rolled his eyes as he swirled around, snapping,
"Beast Boy! Cyborg! Quit that!" The two boys blinked, Cyborg holding Beast Boy four feet above the ground by his head and the smaller boy attempting to pull the robotic teenager's mouth off. Cyborg shrugged and dropped Beast Boy only to fall to the ground as well because the smaller boy had pulled his mouth along with him.
Robin shook his head as the tangled boys screamed and began rolling all over the room, leaving chunks of Beast Boy's pale green- nearly white- hair on the floor. Robin chuckled as Beast Boy shrieked, his purple eyes glaring at Cyborg's red-brown eyes. The boy's hands, white but with a greenish tint, grabbed at his nearly bald head as he wailed over the loss of his lovely hair.
The robotic teenager rolled his red-brown eye, ignoring the whimpering Beast Boy. Suddenly, Beast Boy grabbed Cyborg's cheek and attempted to pull the pale tan skin off. Cyborg howled angrily and they jumped each other, forming yet another fighting cloud. Robin sighed, massaging his temples and closed his red eyes when a familiar light-magenta shorts was thrown out of the cloud, followed by a silver-and-magenta suit and a metallic blue robotic arm.
After three shoes- two silver and magenta, one silver and blue- were thrown, Robin decided he've had enough. Leaping into the cloud, Robin punched the first boy he came to. Howls and yelps of pain could be heard along with "Hey!", "Leggo!", and "That's cheatin'!"
The door swished open and a girl with pale golden skin along with white hair, slightly pinkish, and distrubingly green eyes stepped down the stairs, floating over to the sofa. But as she passed over the fighting cloud, a greenish white hand reached out and grabbed her light violet skirt. The girl's eyes flared bright green along with her hands, and she dove into the cloud. Now, along with the screaming, flashes of green light could be seen.
Nearby, a black bird rose out of the ground, transforming into a person wearing a pale blue cloak with a bird-shaped hood. The black eyes blinked upon seeing the fighting group. Sickly white hands reached up and pulled off the hood, revealing shockingly white hair and a jewel that's blacker than the eyes resting in the forehead. The girl then placed her hands on her hips as she started to walk towards the cloud.
A fateful mistake. With a high-pitched scream, a greenish white boy was blasted into the girl, thanks to a green starbolt. Before the girl could react, however, Beast Boy had leapt back to his feet and jumped into the fighting cloud. The girl blinked.
…Why is Beast Boy in his underwear? The fighting cloud stopped as the four other heard her question. The dust faded to reveal an unscratched Starfire, a slightly scratched Robin, a Cyborg missing his right arm and left foot, and a bald Beast Boy in his duckies boxers. Starfire giggled before floating over to Raven as Robin shrugged, going over to the couch.
Cyborg looked down at his left hand, which held Beast Boy's belt, before looking at the clothes scattered over the room. "I… uh… tore 'em off BB?" The smaller boy glared at Cyborg as he walked around the room, picking up his clothes.
The alarm blared, and Robin leapt to his feet, hollering, "Teen Titans! GO!" With this, they took off, Beast Boy stuggling to put on his pants. Tripping, the greenish white boy quickly corrected himself, running after his team.
"Dudes! Wait for me!"
-Vision ends-
"Teen Titans actually is an unique situation, as seeing that for the demons and Tamaraneans, albinism is extremely rare. Yet their members, the half-demon Raven and the Tamaranean Starfire, were albinos as well," The professor paused. "We shall continue this tomorrow. Class dismissed."
The man in the back rose as he remembered. The days of the changes. He also remembered how little they know how the changes would transform their lives, leaving nothing the same.

MUST READ: IMPORTANT
The reason I did this one-shot was because most people don't really know what albinism is. An albino has white skin, white hair, and red eyes. Nothing else. The skin and hair is as white as the clouds on a clear day. Also, there's no story including albino Teen Titans.
The reason for the Titans' colors
Robin- he has white hair and skin, and the red eyes; perfectly normal for an albino human.
Beast Boy- he was born looking like Robin but after he was injected with the medience that saved his life, his skin and hair took on the slightest tint of green, and his eyes turned purple because his blood became purple.
Cyborg- any albino African (regardless of the country they live in) has nearly white tan skin, and very light gold hair along with the typical red eyes. Cyborg has the normal skin but his human eye's more brown in the color because half of his blood is oil.
Starfire- because the African albinos has light tan skin compared to the normal dark brown, it makes sense that Tamaranean albinos has light golden skin compared to the normal tan golden skin. Also, her hair, whereas white, has the tiniest hint possible of red. And, I've always believed that the Tamaranean blood is bluish green, so her eyes are that color.
Raven- she has the normal white skin and hair of an albino human, but because of her demonic black blood, her eyes are black, as well as her jewel. Because Raven is born with that jewel, it makes sense that it lacks color as well, resulting in the black jewel (instead of red).
Also, the Titans' clothes are noticeably lighter than the normal because dark clothes doesn't look good with pale skin and hair.
I hope you guys like the concept! Please review or flame!
