Titan Part I: The Fallen Hero

Broken Heart

I can barely take the pain. I should have listened to Michael but I was too confident of myself to listen. I just sit in my couch with a beer drinking and watching TV. I don't go out as Titan for several weeks. I look at pictures of Rose and I. One day I hear a knock on my door.

"Who could that be?" I wonder.

I answer the door and find Michael standing at my doorway.

"Is it too late to say I told you so?" Michael says.

"I thought you hated me?"

"I was angry and said some things I shouldn't have."

"So did I."

"So she broke up with you?"

"How did you-?"

"Dude, I hear things."

"Well there is nothing you can do."

"Maybe I can comfort you."

"How?"

"Come with me."

I get into Michael's car and he starts driving.

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"You'll see."

We arrive at a familiar place. It is a bar.

"Remember this place?"

"Yes, we use to hang out here."

We head to the bar area.

"Bartender. Two Millerite's please."

As we are drinking we talk.

"So how have things been?"

"They have been better. It wasn't the same without you. I tinkered with stuff. Built computers. Did some research. I also made some upgrades to the Titan Suit."

"What upgrades?"

"I made it able to generate whatever energy you absorb. Also, I gave it the ability to create an EMP which knocks out technology."

"Cool."

"By the way, I want to give you some advice. Try to fix the rift between you and, and, and-"

"Rose."

"Right."

Several hours later, we walk out of the bar. Michael is completely drunk.

"Shouldn't have drank too much buddy," I say laughing.

"H-h-How are you n-not (hiccup) drunk?"

"Must be my alien physiology."

"That sounds lame," he says falling to the ground, asleep.

"Okay I am going to take you home now."

I pick him up and drop him off at his apartment. Then I head to my apartment. I pick up a picture of me and Rose.

"I will fix this."
