One In A Million

by creativegoddess

A million little moments, a million little stories all waiting to be told. Come and step through the door to see Life's annoying habit of messing with our heads. A series of one-shots.

6. Aspects

A/N: Yes, like one of the previous chapters, this has taken me a long time to upload even though it's been finish for a while. Well, it's been on my dA account but, you know. This one was inspired by the fact that you don't see too many Cyborg-centric fics. At least I don't. So I wrote this for our favourite metal superhero. The 13th fic in this series is complete.

Summary - A look at the oft forgotten Teen Titan.

6. Aspect 13th

Loving brother, great friend, powerful hero, determined leader. Cyborg was all of these things. He was light and darkness, laughter and tears. He was the pillar that the other Titans stood around, the rock that kept them together. Without him, the Teen Titans might not have lasted as long has they have.

Sometimes, people didn't give him enough respect. Sure, he was half metal but his heart was as big as the Tower. He loved his friends who were like siblings, cared for strangers and, despite what Beast Boy thought, adored every animal he touch. They were cute after all. He would never turn away anyone in need and furiously fought criminals who sought to hurt others for their own enjoyment. His heart was truly huge.

Sometimes, people didn't credit him enough. Sure, he could be loud and annoying but, deep down, it was only to keep things light and happy. Beast Boy did a good job of that on his own but it didn't hurt too much for him to have a little help. He was also quite a bit more serious than the shorter teen, making for a more balanced act within the group. And any superhero team needed a balanced scale of serious and silly.

Sometimes, people didn't notice him enough. Sure, he was just a half-metal teenager on a superhero team, but he was more than that. He was a role model for children. They looked up to him, some even wanted to be like him. He was as part of Jump City as anyone else who lived there (the villains would probably be counted into that as, without them, the Titans wouldn't be there either). He helped make the city better.

Cyborg was more than the hero the rest of the world saw. The other Titans knew it, they just wouldn't tell him. Playing around with one's teammates was always much more fun. But the half metal teen on the Teen Titan team was a very important aspect to all life in Jump City. And no one would ever disagree.
