Chapter 6

"Nothing… perhaps I should change…" Titan came to the realization that monsters don't attack every single day… or at least not all the time. Normally he would just have to stroll about before finding a monster to take down and eat, but today, not a tail to be seen or shouting behemoth to make into a decent meal. He sighed as he was about to turn to his human form, when he saw something. Down the street they were filming, but the scream he heard coming from the area was not that of a professional actress!

He was quick to see and peered up along with everyone else. There was a woman, dangling off the side of the building! She was holding on for dear life as the crew blow panicked.

"Her safety harness snapped!"

"We don't have the airbag, where the hell is the air bag!"

"SOMEONE HELP ME!" she screamed.

Titan began to get in a little closer, before realizing he could climb this. "MONSTER!" someone shouted as people began to panic.

"Where?!" Titan asked. "I haven't eaten yet!"

People froze suddenly. "Wait… doesn't he look like…"

"But how?!"

"Wait, I heard of him, he's a son of Garou isn't he?"

"So… no monster?" Titan asked in a disappointed tone. He then sighed. "Oh well… excuse me… I'm going to help that lady."

Titan learned a lot from Snek, one thing was they could climb along the sides of buildings if one is careful enough and has the strength to. His underbelly scales may look soft, but there are little hooks that can be called out when needed for traction. These hooks can find any nook or cranny and could pull and lift his body off the ground. It took him some time to perfect it, but soon enough, Titan became a very proficient climber.

He was three stories up by the time he reached the woman dangling off the side. She was panicked, sweating and was nearly out of strength. He reached for her rather effortlessly. She braced herself on to him without hesitation. "Are you okay?" he asked gently.

"Please… get me down! Please!" she begged.

"Of course." Titan said and smiled. Slowly he began to slink back down the building, this was far more difficult than climbing up. However, he has a trick for that too.

He's fallen out of many tall trees before in his practices.

When he was about a story off the ground he looked down and nodded. "Okay miss, hold on tightly, we're nearly down…"

"Wait, why do I…"

He released the side of the wall.

People below began to scream as this massive serpent man began to drop, yet he was prepared for it. Titan hit the ground rather hard, yet was able to spread his body around enough that the impact was very minimal to him. The road and sidewalk however, that was a different story!

People appeared shaken when he hit the ground, some fell off their feet from the tremor as Titan himself made a rather deep trench from the fall. "You can let go miss, we're on the ground." He explained.

The young woman opened her eyes, the crew was cheering aloud and they did a quick check up on her. "Latina are you okay!?"

"I will be after a break… we're taking a break, right?"

The man in charge nodded. "We have to call the safety commission on this, this never should have happened!"

The people disburse as the woman named Latina looked into Titan's eyes. She gasped at his face. "Amai?" she whispered.

Titan smiled gently. "No, I'm Titan." He explained and bowed. "I am glad you are okay…" his body then quivered. He sighed aloud. "I guess I am eating regular food today… never as filling…" he struck his bands and turned human before her. His sister had implemented nanobots for instant clothing. When he stood on two feet and gained his human features, the actress couldn't bare to look away.

He smiled and was about to leave when she called out. "Wait!" he paused and turned to her. "Please… let me at least get you lunch… the very least I could do is offer you a meal." She explained.

"I eat a lot, is that okay?"

She smiled. "After what you saved me from, I don't care if you put the restaurant out of business!"

He was able to eat to his heart's content.

Despite the people stopping and staring at them, Titan kept pace as he devoured plate after plate of delicious food. Latina merely watched with utter amazement as he was able to wolf down so much in such little time. "Uh… are you okay?" she asked.

Titan finished the last plate, he gave his chest a firm slap as the food was coxed down his throat. "Ah… just fine… thank you." He said. But paused to her odd glare. "Do… you wish to ask something of me?"

She froze to his tone. "W… what do you mean?"

"You look, you want to ask something, but are hesitating." He paused. "Perhaps I should properly introduce myself. I am Titan Brawler!" he said proudly.

Latina froze. "Titan… Brawler?" she asked slowly.

He nodded his head. "The circumstance of my birth are rather… peculiar to say the least. My mother is Melee Brawler, my blood father… is Amai Mask." He whispered.

There came a look of devastation over her face. "That asshole… that bitch!"

He was taken aback by her tone. "Excuse me?"

"She said there was NOTHING between them! I fell for that lie…"

"Miss Latina… do you know my mother?"

Her arms crossed as a glare came over her. "Not anymore after this!"

Titan was a little confused. "Wait… are you in a relationship with Amai Mask?" he asked.

She was silent. Latina looked away as Titan then realized what upset her so much. He giggle to it, thinking it was rather funny. "Miss Latina… don't you find it odd that if what has you so upset is true… yet my age wouldn't exactly match your notion would it?"

She blushed oddly. "You… are rather smart aren't you?"

"Not as smart as my older brother Yuki…"

"Wait… older brother?"

"Yes, I am one of six!" he said rather cheerfully.

But he wondered why she suddenly turned white. He was quick to clear his voice as he leaned in. "I can explain it all to you, but not here." He whispered. "Shall we go somewhere more private?"

Latina nodded. She paid the bill as Titan led her out of the restaurant. He found it strange though, why there were so many people outside carrying cameras of all things, and taking a lot of pictures. But he ignored that for now, and insisted that they needed to go somewhere quieter. "I have just the place, but it's a bit of a trek… hold on… maybe we can get a lift there…"

He managed to borrow the drone. It took him and Latina to an old training ground his father uses, when they landed, Latina was stunned to how silent it was. "Wow… this is amazing…"

"Dad trains here all the time…"

"Amai?"

"No… Garou." He explained. "Miss Latina… you need to understand something… my birth was never planned, my siblings and I were nothing more than mere experiments caused by the house of something or whatever…"

"House of evolution." She whispered.

"That's the one!" Titan said, but then sighed. "You see, they tricked Amai, from what dad said they drugged him up, and then placed him into a room with the clone of my mom… who turned serpent for him… well… needless to say the result of that… Amai never wanted my siblings and I, he still has half a mind to kill us. But, Garou and Melee have raised us… I call them my mother and father since they cared for us like their own children."

She froze to the news. "He… didn't want you?"

"No, my siblings are upset by this. However I am trying to see it from his perspective too… I mean… we were forced upon him. He was tricked into having us for the sake of this organization… perhaps he thought death was a better option than to be caught and used by the very people who wanted us born to begin with."

Latina fell silent to him, tears began to form in her eyes. "You poor thing…"

"No, I'm okay, we're all okay with it. Garou has been a wonderful father to us, and I proudly call him my dad over Amai. But… I want to get to know him too… I want to better understand him." He paused. "I could tell by the way you spoke earlier, you care for him. But, you sound distant as well…"

Her arms came up and around her. "We… were going to announce to the world that we would be dating until he had issues turning back into a human… he then kept distant from me, and even blamed me for his inability to turn back!" she said but cleared a tear or two from her eyes. "I love him… I really do, but sometimes, he says things that just… they hurt a lot more than they should."

Titan nodded. "I know that feeling." He whispered. "Perhaps thought, you can still work something out with him. You still love him, he still cares for you does he not?"

"He sent me a rose… just three days ago, saying he was thinking about me."

"Perhaps you should go talk to him."

She smiled to the advice. "I never thought someone like you would want him to be happy"

Titan snickered. "Dad always warned us, we could make his life a living hell, but he could easily turn around and return that hell to us. If anything we are just going to find little things to do that are going to piss him off," he said proudly. "I just don't quite know what I plan on doing just yet…"

She snickered to his tone. "Thank you for this… and for saving me earlier."

"Thank you for lunch, and besides, mom always said, if someone needs help, and you are able to do something… do it!"
