Warning: There are swears and dead children. It's pretty gruesome.
Mikron had never been one to easily forgive; that just wasn't who he was. He also had never really respected heroes. To him, people like the Titans were pompous windbags convinced that they were working for the greater good. Still, until he had lost it, he hadn't realized he retained some vestige of belief that heroes had a smidgeon of compassion.
So Stone turned out to be Cyborg, that only confirmed his belief that the city's self appointed saviors were the scum of the earth. He hadn't been that affected by Stone's leaving. He was hurt a bit, yes, but he would be much more so if one of his closer friends decided to bail to the side of the light.
So they blew up the school. That meant that about four hundred people (okay, criminals) went homeless without a way of getting food. Honestly, Mikron could have dealt with the fact that the first place he felt at home with in his life was blown to bits. But they destroyed the fucking nursery.
Most of the Hive members that weren't being questioned by Brother Blood rushed there immediately to save the children whose powers hadn't developed enough to save themselves. Mikron himself, along with the rest of Stone's former team, was being detained so Brother Bastard could find out all he needed to know on Cyborg.
By the time the mini genius had gotten to the nursery to check it out all the chaos had ended. There was a hole blown straight through it, annihilating about five cribs right off the bat. Angel was sobbing on the floor clutching a small dead girl to her chest while Seymour hovered over her. His one eye was red with unshed tears. Elliot had slumped to the floor, his head in his hands.
The wreckage was incomparable, only a few shaken wailing children remained unharmed. The rest were injured or dead. Mikron closed his eyes; he didn't want to see this. He didn't want to see the crushed little hands or his sobbing classmates. It wasn't as if he was fond of children but he didn't want to see this. His hands shook as his thoughts ran around in circles.
I shouldn't be seeing this. Nononono—
Mikron didn't care that they destroyed his home that they infiltrated, that they ruined Brother Bloods plan. He didn't care about any of that. Couldn't they have just left the kids alone? Would that have been so damn difficult?
For the record, the Titan's didn't realize that there were young kids at the school which is why they were so gung ho about blowing it up. Just thought I would get that out there.
