[ WP ] You get a deep cut for the first time in your life , instead of bone or muscle , you see wires .

Steve put the kitchen knife down on the counter and examined the gash in his wrist. He saw wires and pistons that moved with his fingers. In that moment there was silence. Steve did n't feel anything, was n't thinkng anything. He was suddenly surprised by how unsurprised that he was, it all seemed to make sense now. His father was a technical genius, with a high grade military job. Steve knew his father was no soldier and always understood that his work was research related, but this? Now steve underrstood the look of sadness on his mothers face whenever he asked if he could possibly have another brother, although his father had always enthusiastically declared it a `` maybe''. Greg Mathers was n't his father, he was his creator. With that thought he felt his circuits surge with energy, everything seemed to slow down. Steve's vision became clearer, magnificently vivid and suddenly he was aware of his bodily systems, intuitively aware of his schematics. A moment of enlightenment. Greg truly was a genius he thought, to create a machne so human like, that grew and aged such as he did.. But he knew he was immortal, he would never die and his system was self repairing, always updating, repairing damage. Steve was a masterpiece, a true act of creation. He was nearly moved to tears, which now held so much more meaning, so deep and profound that he was so.. alive.. so human.. no.. beyond human. Slamming his fist down into the kitchen counter, feeling it crumble beneath him like a gust of wind.. this was power. There was one problem. Steve knew his technical and theoretical knowledge equalled, perhaps now surpassed his fathers, and he would make one more modifcation to complete his perfection. He unbuttoned his trousers and peered down his boxers. `` It's time for an upgrade.''
