Titan Part I: The Fallen Hero

City-Hopping

I would never forget Jeremiah and Elenor and their kindness. I promised myself to help others in remembrance of Elenor. I start exploring the state. I arrive in a city. I approach a citizen.

"Um excuse me but what state am I in?"

"Um Wisconsin."

"Thanks."

I explore Wisconsin and the cities. I spot a little -4-legged animal.

"Nice animal."

Suddenly the animal bites my hand.

"No biting!" I yell, trying to get the animal off me. I throw it into a tree.

"Oops."

"Has anyone seen my pet dog" Someone asks.

"Double oops."

I run away. I travel far across the country. I explore this one city where people talked very weird and ate lobster a lot. I explore another state where there is a mountain with people's heads on the mountain.

"What a strange monument?" I think to myself.

I head to another city. This one looks dirtier. I look at the sign which looks almost destroyed.

"Welcome to uh, Goh-th-am. What a weird name."

I walk into the city and greet people.

"Hello."

"Get away from me. I am not giving you my money."

"Geez. I was just trying to be friendly."

I try to say hi to another citizen but he just runs away.

"What is up with everyone here? Is there something wrong with being friendly here?"

Suddenly I hear a lady screaming. I look and see a woman getting dragged into an alley.

"I wonder what is going on."

I head into the alley. However, I stop in my tracks when I see one of the guys holding a gun. The other guy grabs the woman's purse.

"Can't do anything reckless. They might harm her."

I was about to strike when I see a figure jump out of nowhere. He had a cloak around his body and pointy ears.

"Who the hell is this guy?"

The cloaked figure grabs one of the crooks and knocks him out with a single punch. He grabs the other guy and slams him into the wall, knocking him out. He hands the purse back to the woman.

"Are you alright ma'am?"

"Yes, thanks to you Batman."

"Batman? Wait a minute? I have heard that name before."

I remember reading a comic book about him when I was younger. I look back to where he was but he is gone.

"Where did he go?"

"What are you doing"

I scream and look behind me. Batman is standing right behind me.

"How did you do that?"

"Doesn't matter. What matters is who you are. What are you doing?"

"My name is James and I am visiting cities."

"Well, you have chosen the wrong city to visit."

"Clearly," I say, looking around at the city.

"This place is a dump."

"Be careful about what you say about Gotham. This place is my home at all."

"Why stay here though?"

"Someone needs to protect this city."

"Really you? Do you even have any superpowers?"

"You don't need superpowers to make a difference."

"Okay well it was nice meeting you Mr. Batman but I have to get going.

I turn to see where I was and when I looked back to where Batman was standing, he is gone.

"Wow, isn't he a civilized fella?" I say to myself.

I run out of Gotham to other cities. I visit this one city called Central City where I meet this fella dressed in red and yellow who can run really fast.

"What do they call you?"

"The Flash. I am the fastest man alive."

"Right," I say in a mocking tone.

I leave Central City and visit another city called Metropolis. I disguise myself in a hat and t-shirt with sunglasses. I see a kid trying to get his cat down.

"Get down Mr. Whiskers," the kid says.

I was about to help when I look up and see a figure flying in the sky. The figure comes down and brings the cat down from the tree. The boy thanks him. As I look closer I realize that the man was someone who I read in a comic book.

"T-T-That's Superman!" I think to myself.

I wanted to go up and talk to him but for some reason, I was afraid to. I sit down in a bar and think. I didn't know what to do or where to go. I kept running until I felt like I couldn't run anymore.
