Chapter fifteen:
Victor Stone
Class: Agent, Teen Titan
Alias: Cyborg
Powers: Half of his body is completely metal. Can fly, form hand cannons and other various weapons. 

Mister Stark was a little strange, but I didn't mind having him as a teacher. He was alright, and he typically left me alone. Beyond calling me Robo-Boy. Pepper though...I don't know. Substitutes were always weird.

"Victor, make sure to allow your partner to work as well." I sighed. I didn't have tech class with any of my friends, so it was a little lonely. There was people I was friendly with, like Zane, but otherwise, I was typically assigned a partner.

I was partnered with some kid named Harley. Like the motorcycle. He was like, eleven and was the son of Hephaestus and reminded me way too much of Gizmo. Needless to say we didn't get along that much.

"Yeah Victor, let your partner help." I huffed in annoyance, crossing my arms. I honestly might've been better off having Gizmo as a partner.

"Why should I? You already changed our utopia landform. What's wrong with City?!" I exclaimed.

"A city is a terrible place to live!!"

"You live in New York, you half brained half-God!!"

"Long Island is not a city!!"

"Jump City is amazing!!" I countered. Any place that let you live in a giant T shaped building is pretty cool.

"Enough!!" Pepper snapped. I blinked. I've heard her mad before (sometimes she gets into arguments with Stark over the phone) but this....seem off. Probably because everything had been tensed lately.

"Fine. We can have a forest, but the animals must have weapons!! We gotta make sure they can protect themselves." This is for you BB.

"Animals don't carry weapons!!" Harley exclaimed.

"Centaurs do!" I countered.

"Centaurs, are not animals!!!" I rolled my eyes.

"It's a utopia, we can do whatever!!" Opal, an android who I didn't know very well but seemed pretty nice, turned around to look at me.

"May I suggest something?" Her boyfriend, Zane turned around as well.

Did anyone else notice that his eye was twitching? A quick scan said he wasn't doing alright...but my systems seemed fine. Maybe a small glitch?

"Please." Harley said. I glared at him.

"Perhaps you should talk to each other and listen to each other's ideas. That's what Zane and I do." I snorted.

"Zane just does whatever you say because he has a crush on you, it's easy for you two to agree." Zane blushed and stood up.

"That's not tru--pizza." We blinked. It seemed my scan was correct—poor droid had a glitch. But why couldn't I place it?

"Come again?" I asked. Zane gave us an apologetic look.

"Sorry!! I seem--AH--to be gl-gl-gl-." Zane started twitching.

Hardly reached out, but jumped back when Zane shocked him. Not purposely, I think. Still, mental note to keep some distance.

"Ow!! What was that?!"

"I'm.....failed download.....sorry....failed download....Harley...." Failed download...what was trying to download?

"JARVIS, find out what's going on!!" Pepper ordered quickly. The whole class had gone silent, trying to watch what was going on. I stayed where I was, trying to scan for a source. Whatever it was, it was scrambled. I couldn't place it.
