Cyborgs and Spies Volume 1: Teamup

The warm California sun beat down on Beverly Hills, casting long shadows from the palm trees that lined the streets. Andrew, Richard, and Benjamin stood on a hill overlooking the city, a mixture of hope and trepidation in their eyes.

"Well, this is it, guys," Andrew said, his voice quiet. He adjusted his glasses, a nervous habit.

Richard, ever the pragmatist, spoke up. "Are you sure you want to do this, Andrew? Once we move here, there's no turning back. We won't be welcome back at our old home, you know."

Andrew sighed, the weight of his past pressing down on him. "Yes, Richard, I'm positive. After the amount of damage our fight with the Cyber Force has caused, I don't think anyone will miss us."

Benjamin, the youngest and most empathetic, looked at Andrew with concern. "Not even your own family?"

Andrew's expression hardened slightly. "Even my own family, Benjamin," he replied, the words tinged with a deep-seated weariness. "Such is the life of Andrew Wilson."

Benjamin's face fell. "Why is the world so mean?" he mumbled.

Richard clapped Benjamin on the shoulder, a comforting gesture. "The world can be pretty dumb at times. But hey, at least we have each other."

A small smile finally touched Andrew's lips. "Fair point," he conceded. "I'd rather be with you guys than my family anyway. As much as I love them, I need to be away from their toxicity for a while."

Benjamin patted Andrew on the back. "That's fine. Come on, let's head on down and see what Beverly Hills is like."

With renewed determination, the three friends piled into Richard's car, heading down into the bustling city that promised a fresh start. As they drove, Andrew's eyes scanned the vibrant streets, hoping that this new chapter would bring the peace he so desperately craved.
