Slobo had finished packing the little thing he had at the tower.
He was leaving.
He sat silently on his bed staring into the mirror on the dresser across from him, for the first time since he was born he realsied something.
"I AM Lobo." he thought to himself, his pale face, and black eye markings gave it away all to well.
But it wasn't just that. It was his mind, he could feel himself constantly feeling like he wanted to kill someone at every moment; when people looked at him oddly because of his appearance, when people threatened him and the rest of the Teen Titans, when Robin gave him orders, he couldn't handle it.
M'Onel and Braniac 5 made it all to clear for him, he was just a weaker, skinnier and younger Lobo and because of it he would permanently be no good, no matter how hard he tried.
"NYARGH!!" growled Slobo as he threw his chain and the mirror smashing into pieces. "Gotta clean that up now." he thought to himself as he stood up and scooped the shards into the drawer of the dresser.
He was planning on going into outer space, if he was anything like Lobo he could become a bounty hunter there like Lobo is. . .first he had to tell the Titans, he knew they wouldn't be to fond of the idea but nothing would change his mind.
He decided to get the worst out of the way first, he was going to start with Anita, Empress. . .

Slobo picked up his bag and walked out of his room, he was not looking forward to this, Anita was his best friend and he was hers, he knew hat he'd miss her a lot.
He walked out of his room to the room that she'd been given earlier in the day by Cyborg, though she wasn't going to be a permanent member she got a room anyway, for her to rest in when she was staying.
He stood outside for at least a minute just looking at the door until he gathered the courage to actually knock on it, though he prayed to god that she wasn't in.
"Uh, I'm coming hold just one sec." shouted Anita from within the room as Slobo her something fall from inside, he couldn't help but smile, with laughter. She was probably putting her stuff into place within the room, "Sorry," she said as she opened the door, "I was unpacki--oh, hey 'Bo." she said looking at him from head-to-toe and noticing the bag on the floor, "You're not moving in are ya? Don't think Uncle Ish would approve." she said smiling.
"Heh, I ain't movin' in, I'm movin' out." he said as a confused expression soread across Anita's face, "I'm gonna go t'space, gonna become a Bounty Hunter like Lobo, like I'm supposed ta." he said as Empress stood speech less and shocked, "This is the part were you say summit." she was still speechless and Slobo could see a tears gathering in her eyes. "Aw, 'Nita, please don't do this." said Slobo as he dropped his bags and wraped his arms around Anita who had already begun to sob slightly.
"Slobo, you can't leave." she said as she cried on Slobo.
"'Nita, I came t'Earth t'get a second chance, M'Onel and Brainiac told me it's pointless, Nuthin' I do will help, I'm sorry." he said hugging her slightly, he didn't want to get too into it becuase he knew he had to let go soon.
"Slobo, don't go, you can change hisstory, I'm telling you, you can, please?" she said still holding Slobo as other Titans walked past and watched.
"'Nita. . ." he said as he backed away from her, she wiped her eyes and her nose with a tissue she had in her pocket, though she was still sobbing.
Slobo picked up his bag ready to leave when Anita walked up behind him grabbing his arm and tugging him slightly, "Slobo, do me this one thing then, please, spend the rest of the night with me." she said pleading as Slobo turned around, "Please, just take me somewhere, anywhere I-I wanna spend time with you, I don't mind what we do, jus' anything. . .please?"
"'Nita I gotta. .." Slobo looked Anita in the eyes, she this was tearing her apart, Slobo knew that by going out with her it would make her happier and maybe easy her ain, plus he couldn't stand to see her cry again, "A'right, but then I'm goin'." he said as Anita hugged him again.
"Thank you 'Bo, Omigod, I gotta change, I'll meet you outside by the cycle, 'kay?" she said as she looked at him in the eyes, he nodded reluctantly, he didn't want to have to do this but it was the right thing.
"'kay," he siad as he watched Anita run into her bed room slamming the door behind her. "Guess I betta change too." Slobo though to himself as he looked at the tear stains on his shirt. . .

Slobo stood by the Super-Cycle, which was parked just outside of the Tower, he'd put on the baseball jersey that he'd warn when he, as L'il Lobo, went to Myrg and played baseball.
He'd also found an old cap that said "bad boy" on the front in stylised silver letters, which stood out a lot on the black cap, beisdes that he wore his normal jeans and huge boots, that were at least two sizes too big for him but still looked good, though they were quite heavy.
He'd been waiting for Anita for the last 25 minutes and was growing quite impatient, he wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"That's it." said Slobo as he decided to stop waiting and walked around to the drivers eat and jumped in.
"You weren't gonna leave without me were you?" said Anita as she appeared in a puff of green smoke.
"Well, ya were takin' a while," said Slobo as he looked at Anita head to toe, he recognised the close she was wearing, "Ain't those--"
"The same close I wore on my date wit' Lobo? Yep, the same ones." she said as she twirled. "You like?" she asked already knowing the answer.
"Yeah, think the pants makes yer butt look big though." said Slobo jokingly.
"Oh, haha." she said as Slobo got out of the Super-Cycle and helped anita get in.
"So where're we going?" she asked curiously as Slobo revved the engine.
"Howz about a funfair?" he said as the cycle took off.
"A funfair? You mean crazy rides, silly games and cotton candy? I love those kinda things, didn't think you did though." said Anita as she sat back in the cycle.
"I personally ain't to fond o'them but I know you are so I guess we're going." he said Smiling, "You do wanna go still?"
"Yeah, of course, sound cool." she said smiling, "Thanx 'Bo."
"Don't mention it, it's my last night on Earth, might as well use it t'make someone else happy." he said as he smiled at Anita, who was trying not to think about him leaving.

Slobo helped Anita out of the Super-Cycle and into the fun fair.
"So whadd'ya wanna go on first, I payin' so it's all three fer you." he said as he locked arms with her as they walked, though he was trying not to enjoy himself, it was hard when around her.
"How about that?" said Anita, as she pointed at a huge rollercoaster called the Destoryer, her eyes glisened with delight as she pulled him to the large construction, the line was quite small, most of the people who went on it were now sitting near it vomiting constantly and for a good reason, the coaster had at least 20 loops in it.
"Yo, 'Nita you sure your stomach can handle sumthin' like this?" aksed Slobo jokingly as he paid for he and Anita's tickets and then led her to the ride.
"'Bo, I can guarantee that I won't toss my cookies." she said as the metal bar seat belt thing came down from above them both.
"Wanna bet on it?" said Slobo as he stuck out his hand, "Five bucks that you'll see what you had fer lunch again by tha time this rides finished?"
"Okay, deal." said Anita as she shook his skinny hands.
"Great, yo!!" shouted Slobo to the man who controlled the speed of the 'coaster, "Full speed ahead!! Flip this thing into top gear!!" Slobo turned to Anita and smiled, "Feel like vomiting yet?"
"Not even close 'Bo." she said she smiled at him.
"Have fun!!" said the control-man, person as he flipped a switch 'causing the ride to begin the go slowly at first 'til eventually it was at top speed flying up the tracks.
"Howz about now!!" shouted Slobo as the ride began to slow.
"N-No!!" shouted Anita nervously as the ride flew down a steep slope in the tracks then suddenly stopped as it came back to its starting position.
"Whoa, what?" said Anita as the metal belts went up suddenly.
"Sorry, pal, any longer and you gotta pay double." he said as he motioned for them to get out of the 'coaster.
"What a rip off!" said Slobo as he helped Anita out and then stomped away from the ride.
"Well, someone owes me 5 bucks." said Anita as she looked at the annoyed Slobo and smiled.
"Can I win ya summit, instead?" said Slobo as pulled out the five dollars.
"Yeah sure." said Anita as she looked at the various boothes and found one that she thought was fun especially if Slobo did it, "Do that!" as she pointed at the Strength tester.
"Oh. c'mo--" said Slobo as he was once again dragged by Anita, who payed for once.
"He's a bit, um, skinny, don't'cha think?" asked the two men standing besides the prizes.
"Skinny?" said Slobo as he picked up the mallet with one hand and smiled at Anita, "Skinny, yeah, weak?" said Slobo as he, with one hand, slammed the mallet onto the button causing the wait to shoot into the air smashing through the belland into the sky above, "Well, you can judge if I'm weak fer yerself." said Slobo as he took a giant teddy bear from the to men who were staring at him with open mouthes.
"Nice going 'Bo." said Anita as she held her giant bear which was almost bigger than her.
"Don't mention it 'Nita." said Slobo in a very somber tone as he walked over to a bench and slowly sat on it.
"'Bo," said Anita as she stalled, "Do you have to leave? I mean, you're not L--"
"'Nita." said Slobo as he cut Anita's speech short, "I can't stay, I shouldn't even be alive, I'm a Lobo reject, I know it upsets you but--"
"You're not Lobo," said Anita as she stopped Slobo and held his hand, putting her Bear down, "You're his conscience given form, Lobo isn't as heroic as you, he isn't as nice as you either, I. . .I never frenched Lobo."
"Yeah, I--Waitaminute, you ahevn't frenched me eith--" Slobo was cut short by Anita leaning forward and kissing him pationetly. Anita eventually leaned out of it and looked at an astonished Slobo who was actually blushing slightly. "I-I'm sorry." she said as she stood up leaving her bear with Slobo and walked away.
"'Nita. . ."

Anita walked back to the Super-Cycle, she wasn't feeling to good.
She couldn't believe what she'd just done, she'd wanted to do it for the longest time, but never thought she would, she couldn't imagine how Slobo felt, he probably didn't feel the same, she thought to herself, as she looked up into the night sky the light from the moon glisened against the Super-Cycle's shiny body.
She didn't want to see Slobo, not because she didn't like him, she clearly did, she prooved that, she was afraid of how Slobo would feel abou the whole situation, he'd always seemed content with simply being her friend, Anita thought she was too.
Another thing she got wrong today.
"You okay, 'Nita?" asked Slobo as he walked up behind the Cycle, "Sorry, it took me a while, kinda took me a while t'get my head straight, that ain't happened t'me b'fore." he siad as Anita sat her back towards him, "uh, 'Nita, ya oh'kay?" said Slobo as he sat next to her.
"I. . .I'm just really embarrassed," she said as she shook her head, "Could we, like, just forget this ever happened?".
"Why'd I wanna ferget it?" asked Slobo as he looked straight up at the moon. "I mean, t'be honest, I kinda enjoyed, a lot." said Slobo as he smiled at Anita and held her hand.
"Slobo. . .please don't leave, you're my friend, I missed you a lot when Darkseid 'killed you', you're my bestfriend, I love you 'Bo." said Anita as she hugged Slobo.
"Thanx, 'Nita, I. . .love ya too. . .jus' don't tell anyone, 'kay?" said Slobo half jokingly.
"Oh, right, I forgot all about your tough outside." said Anita smiling as she pushed Slobo and got off of the bonnet of the 'Cycle.
"Hey, I can't call m'self tha top teen wit' out proovin' it." he said smiling as he helped Anita into the 'Cycle.
"Uh, Slobo? Where's my bear?" asked Anita smiling.
"What bear?" asked Slobo nervously.
"Slobo, where's my bear?" asked Anita sternly, yet playfully.
"'Nita, didja really want me t'start walkin' around wit' a bear that's almost bigger'n me? I got a rep, 'sides ya act like I don't look weird enough, wit' out totin' a giant bear." said Slobo as Anita looked at him with puppy dog eyes. "Aw, fine -- back in a sec." said Slobo as he kissed Anita on the cheek.
"hey, 'Bo? How come I french you and all I get is a kiss on the cheek?" asked Anita as she grabbed Slobo's arm.
"'Nita, I like ya, I like ya a lot but c'mon, I had my first REAL kiss t'day, gotta take these things slowly." he said as he continued walking leaving Anita in the 'Cycle, rejoicing in the fact that she was keeping her best friend.. .. ..
