Green Wings Man - Teenage Cyborg - Chapter One - pages 1-2

With his uncle’s health deteriorating, Edd Burren will have to become the so called nephew of Green Cyborg. He had already picked a code name, Green Wings Man. “Lewis forgot one thing for sure” Edd said, looking at the illustration of Queen Alice “He forgot to say about Alice’s new attire, I have read this a baker’s dozen times and it has just come to me now” he added, brushing a fallen cobweb from his brown tuft of hair that seemingly was inherited from his uncle. It bounced up and down as he read the first line of the 9^th chapter, Queen Alice “It doesn’t makes sense, if Tatiana wrote this, she would explain it in the most ridiculous way possible” Edd proclaimed. Tatiana was Edd’s enemy, a brown-haired girl who was born the day before him and the year after him on 24^th November 1999 while he was born on 25^th November 1998. “Uncle always wants to be in the Irish Cyborg Hall of Fame before he passes away despite Dr Reynolds telling him that he won’t pass way anytime soon“ Edd glanced at the portraits of the ones in the Irish Cyborg Hall of Fame in which was outside of Chief Lumberbell’s office. Paul Gandolfini suffered a heart attack, Christopher DeLorean was knock down by a train in May 2007, Daniel Barker was exposed to carbon monoxide, and poor Mona Cliff died of a broken heart as she wanted to have a girl even though the doctors said she could. All of those beautiful souls, human machinery, gone.

Suddenly a loud bang from Chief Lumberbell’s office was heard and Edd got up from his seat and walked over to the window in the door to look inside. His uncle was angry at Chief Lumberbell, he could see that he flung a chair against a wall. “YOU MEAN THAT I HAVE TO BE DEAD IN ORDER TO BE ON THAT WALL? WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?” Green Cyborg yelled at Chief Lumberbell who was trembling with fear and terror. Never in all of his 50 and a half years did he anger a 6ft 3inch Irish Cyborg who had just turned 63 in February, the previous month. Edd pushed the door open and grabbed his uncle by the belt of his bodysuit. “Uncle, CHILL! You’re making a scene even the man is watching you” Edd shouted sternly at his uncle who seemingly calmed down after realising that.

[Octavia thoughts: Honestly! Raging over a posthumous honour! Doesn’t he know that too much stress will finish him off?! He turned 63 on 16th February and he raging over that Irish Cyborg Hall of Fame?! Unbelievable!]

“Ok, I will wait until I’m dead” Green Cyborg sighed “Ok, I understand you want it to happen before you go to the great Irish Cyborg Centre in the sky but it’s policy and that is that” Chief Lumberbell told Green Cyborg and Edd as they left. At the carpark of the Irish Cyborg Centre in Gailotown, Green Cyborg looked straight at the gates of Son to Father Cemetery, visioning the green coloured Irish Cyborgs at the entrance doing guard of honour as his remains enter the dead central in a horse drawn hearse. Edd could vision himself there, consoling Kelsey, his mother. Green Cyborg’s body trembled a bit but he carried on, getting into the Natasha 1 with Edd and driving back to Suede 14 in the French Quarter of Felicity.  Kelsey was standing in the hidden garage, holding jar with a cy-germ in it surrounded by salt water. As the boys got out of the car, she put her foot down to get their attention “EDWARD! What is this?” she thundered “It’s a gift to you from me, your big brother Edward” Green Cyborg replied. “Don’t you know what you have at the moment will happen to the baby when it’s born and besides you told Edd that this sneezing cy-germs finished at 50 and here you are at 63 and you’re still going!” Kelsey replied. “He told me that it can go on until death” Edd told his mother “Uncle only did that since when he dies, I will stay In Felicity and you will have to wait for dad to come home from his long working day”.  “Ok, I understand but Edd, you can take care of her because it’s just so complicated.” Kelsey whimpered as she left to catch the train, giving the jar to Edd. Green Cyborg’s face was now pale so Edd had to act fast.
