(entire dialogue in Frankie's words continued following the last memory bubble of this page)
The teasing at school has escalated. Now, a day doesn’t go by that I don’t fear for my life and as much as I try to fight back, at the same time I don’t actually want to hurt anyone, but the more I try to resist the more it seems to encourage them… Between the fights, the horrible rumors and lies, and now Damien, one person of a few best friends I can count with one hand that I treasure most, has inexpicably turned against me… Vance and Morgan share my concern and don’t understand what happened and are at a loss for what to do. One moment Damien is fine and the next it’s like a dark cloud descends over him and he can’t stand the sight of me…
Even in dealing with all of this conflict, I feel I have to be responsible and only fight fire with fire as a last resort. the last thing I want to do is get into trouble and disappoint my parents for stooping to the level of the fucking jocks that are tormenting me… Uncle Duncan has said that he feels ashamed of the bully he’d been in his youth and feels obligated to atone for it, that there is no pride to be found in exploiting the weakness of others and I should rise above them and be the better person…
… I’ve tried to understand my family’s needs to protect me both from a human world that struggles to accept its flourishing population of mutants as well as the rising prejudice between mutants as villians and heroes…
Mom, Dad, Granda Roddy, Granda Roland, Aunts Shego and Audrey, my Uncles Drakken, Duncan, Cosgrove and…Royce, how can I face him now knowing that the kinship between Damien and I has broken? I know he’s worried, but how much are he and Audrey actually aware of what’s happened? …… as much as I appreciate the things my family has done for me, I can’t keep letting them fight my battles…
It’s important that I find a way to prove myself because the one thing I’ve always wanted more desperately than anything is to become a great hero like my father. He’s strong and despite the odds, has overcome everything he’s had thrown against him and made friends with everyone he’s ever met… I want to become someone he can be proud of…just not like this…

...things to come in the far future of my crossover fic "Integration"...
sorry my sketches are awful and I'm lazy with my lame attempt at designing a semblance of comic book format, but I honestly don't care because the power and expression in the imagery and dialogue is all that matters to me.
Frankie Zoid struggles with being different, dealing with friends and feelings of inadequacy and general teenage angst. (don't complain, we were all there once in our lives). ..besides, I know what it feels like to be bullied so I'm putting more of myself into this than I'm actually comfortable in admitting, but there it is...
(Frankie is voiced by Shia Labeouf, think Transformers' Sam Whitwicky and you're right on with characterization)

Poor kid, he doesn't stand a chance at school with how these people are pushing him around...and in the end I think they'll all be sorry when Frankie looses control. I just want to give the poor kid a giant hug...
