Digital looked at his fearful mother with worry. He didn't like it when she was distressed. "M...mother?"

She quickly whirled around. "Yes, darling?"

"Are you alright?" Digital asked her. "You seem distressed." At that moment she became quite quiet. Abigail hugged her roboy son. "Mother?"

"Don't let him break you. When -if- he finds you, don't let him hurt you. Don't let him experiment on you. Promise me, please, Digital. love you son." Abigail said.

"I love you too, mother." Digital said.

"Now please," Abigail pleaded. "Go hide.

"WHERE ARE YOU TWERP?!"

Digital shuddered at the voice of his captor. Three years ago he had been taken from his mother, and now was the little experiment of Rydian Drake. "Here sir." Digital said meekly. The way he saw it, the sooner he showed himself, the sooner it was over.

"There you are, you little-" what came next was a string of swear words, ones that digital database didn't even recongnize, flowing like a river.

"What do you need me for, sir?" He asked quietly.

"Come with me." Rydian grinned wickedly.

"Sir?" Digital asked quietly.

"I want to learn what makes you tick, robot. I'll just need a few samples of you. Then it'll all be over." Rydian said, with an insane look in his eyes.

Digital knew this man was insane now. He knew it by heart. Digital had been tormented SO MANY FREAKING TIMES he thought he would go insane. Maybe he had. He had broken one of the promises he made to his mother. He let Rydian experiment on him. He felt like the worst son in the universe. He grabbed one of the tools that Rydian often used on him, one of the sharper ones, and cut. He mad little marks on his metal skin. Some would feel pain at this but Digital couldn't. He just...couldn't feel anything but sadness in that moment. As tiny droplets of a clear liquid fell down his cheeks he whispered these words. "I'm sorry mom, but I can't keep those promises. No one can repair a heart as broken as mine."

A small peak at digital' past. All before he met Kelly and jay and hunter.
