Teen Titans, in an Alternate Universe!
i.e.: A Universe where everything is the opposite of this Universe. You know. A parallel universe.
Somewhere far away, in an A.U. ...
Garfield stared across the street at the love of his life. Raven.
He looked down at his hand and twisted his golden ring. Raven's identical ring glinted in the sunlight.
Oh, how sure he was when he slipped that ring onto her slender finger.
And now ...
Raven leaned over and whispered into the man's ear. He let out a robust, belly laugh.
Garfield clenched his hands into fists. He trusted her. Why couldn't she just divorce him instead of running around behind his back?
No. No.
Don't jump to conclusions.
Garfield willed himself to just walk across the street and ask Raven, "What's going on?" but he couldn't. It was as if he was suctioned to the pavement.
He reached into his pocket. He pulled out his cellphone. Snap.
He took a photo.
No. NO!
What was he doing?!
He wanted to delete the photo, pretend it never happened. But he couldn't, and it already happened.
Raven smiled and hugged the man, before waving goodbye to him. Garfield ducked into a shop.
He watched as Raven walked past him, oblivious.
Tears came to Garfield's eyes. It was clear what was happening.
She was having an affair.
"Sir, may I help you?"
Garfield spun around. The receptionist gave him a questioning look.
"Nothing can help me now," Garfield whispered, then proceeded to kick himself.
He sounded like a suicidal teenager.
"Nonsense! Everyone can be helped!" the receptionist enthused.
Garfield stared at the words on the wall behind the receptionist.
Dr. Beringer's Marriage Counseling Centre.
It was a sign.
His marriage was going awry.
Should he go along with it, or should he intervene?
He didn't want to lose Raven.
But maybe he already did.
