Titan Part I: The Fallen Hero

Titan Is Born

I fly home and by flying, I don't mean on a plane. I arrive at my apartment. I fall onto my couch and fall to sleep. When I wake up, I find Michael sitting at a table.

"What are you doing here?" I ask

"You never called me," Michael responds

I facepalmed in frustration.

"I am so sorry. I meant to contact you but-"

"Dude. I was joking. Don't sweat it.

"How long has it been?"

"8 years. How was the Army?"

"It was a humbling experience for me. I was amazed by how willing people are to give their lives in order to serve this country. So what have I missed?"

"You have no idea. Come with me. There is something that I want to show you."

I get into Michael's car and we head to this abandoned-looking building.

"What is this place? It looks like no one has been here in ages"

"You will see," Michael responds.

When we enter the building, Michael turns on the lights and reveals a high-tech looking place with computers, tablets, and laboratories. I couldn't believe my eyes.

"Welcome to our new base or hideout. What do you think?"

"I think you have been busy while I've been gone," I respond, looking around the place.

"Let me give you a tour."

So Michael walks me around the hideout. He shows me the computer room where he does research and development to help me in crime-fighting activities. He shows me the kitchen, the restrooms, and the training room. After Michael is done giving me the tour, we head back to the research and development room.

"I am impressed. You have outdone yourself, Michael."

"There is one more thing that I want to show you. This one you're absolutely going to love."

Michael pulls out a small remote and presses a button that opens a round chamber. Inside the chamber is a red and black armored suit with a helmet. The suit also had a black and rape attached to it. I must have had the biggest smile ever.

"You shouldn't have Michael."

"I told you we needed to upgrade your suit so I took the necessary steps to achieve this."

Suddenly a thought hits me.

"I just realized that I never gave myself a name."

"You know, I was actually thinking long and hard about that. Then one day, I was in the library when I found a book on Greek Mythology. I read about these beings called Titans. The word gave me the idea for your superhero name."

"Titan? I like the sound of that. Now let me put on my super suit."

It takes me a while and at times felt uncomfortable but it's definitely worth it in the end. I put on the mask and the suit lights up. White lights project off of my mask. I look at myself in the mirror.

"I look like a badass," I think to myself.

"Chicago, get ready to meet your new superhero, Titan!"

I look at Michael.

"So now what?"
