Chapter 7 - Chapter 4: The Tales of Titan

Okay, here's the thing

Up until now, I always thought that we were going to be the first heroes because there wasn't any record of a superhero ever. But now I have been informed that there has been a hero before us. His name was "Titan" and he was our predecessor.

The tale goes as my dad explained, "From the ashes of a science lab, Titan arose to fight the evil around the world and protect the innocent from evil influences." It's a story that describes my father, who was Titan and his time as a hero. It's a story that I would like to tell, but I'm just going to let my dad explain.

"Let's see, I guess it all started when I was a young man. I became a scientist and worked with my two lab partners, Mr. Neutron and Mr. Electron, we were the top scientist in the world." He said, But I interrupted him, "Wait, your partner's name's were Neutron and Electron. Ha ha ha… what, were you Mr. Proton or something?", "Yes, Proton is my real last name. I changed it, but let me tell the story and you'll find out why." He exclaimed, I then backed down and apologized. And he went back to telling the story.

"Okay, where was I… oh yeah, so the five years I spent working on inventions with my partners. We invented many devices that modern scientists wished they knew were possible. We had hoverboards, a flying car, and the watches you, and apparently, your friends are wearing this very moment. They were made from ore from a fallen meteorite. Man, it was an exciting time for us, my partners were my closest friends and we were inseparable. Until, Mr. Neutron wanted all the power of the watches to himself, and tried to steal the watches by using a mech. He had to take them by force because we had a security code for the vault that held the watches. A code that only I knew for safe keeping. It broke my heart how he betrayed us, he had to be stopped, so I, with the help of Mr. Electron, stopped him and stopped the carnage he was about to bring upon the world. But when you stop one evil, another will arise to oppose good. 

With the approval of Mr. Electron, I became a superhero." I still had questions, but dad answered for me.

"I bet you're wondering what happened to Mr. Neutron. Well, he was sent to prison but escaped and got caught in Bangkok. Now he's in a prison in an underground base, me and Mr. Electron built for the government, but the case is, he's gone now. And Mr. Electron is in Palm Springs on vacation right now, but he still works on gadgets and inventions. And apparently, he invented a teleportation device, though it's still in the Beta testing phase." And he answered my other question cause somehow he knew I was wondering that as well. "I was a superhero for about ten years. It was on the day of your birth that I gave up being a hero, and got locked out of the watches." After that, I was in shock. He then told me, "It was your birth, it's why I gave up being a hero because on the day you were born. I was out fighting a villain on the run, and I caught the guy. But at that exact moment, I got the phone call from the doctor about your birth. It shattered my heart when I heard those few words, and it was like a meteorite hit me right in my chest. However, that doesn't matter and I figured that I had to give up being a superhero. Until I realized the world was settling down to the point where it didn't need a superhero anymore. Then for some reason, at that moment, I was suddenly locked out of the watches with no way to unlock them for me. Lucky for me, I was wearing a costume so no one saw my face but I couldn't use the watches. I was surprised, but I acted quickly and had the watches stored in a briefcase for when the next superhero will arise. " I was up to speed, and after my dad finished his mumbling, I asked him and my mom the big question. I thought it was crazy about what I was going to ask him. But I had to ask him, I did it for him and mom. 

So I swallowed up my nervousness, and I asked, "Dad, will you come to stay with us at our mansion so we can live as a family again?" He sat up and stared at us again, then kept muttering, "Mansion… mansion… mansion..." then he finally came to his senses and said with excitement, "Of course but what about your powers?", "Well, even though we have three months of experience, we only used to test them out for our performance. But with this newfound knowledge, I want you to teach us how to use our power for combat against future enemies." He took a minute to think about it, but he eventually answered, "Yeah, of course, I'll teach you and your friend's, but you have to promise me that you will do anything I tell you. And I mean anything." I looked at him and felt so awkward that it set the whole room in a moment of silence. I ended up agreeing and things were decided, so now we went to go discharge my dad from the hospital and were ready to take him to our mansion. Courtesy of 'First Class' air travel."
