Chapter 3 - 3 Counting

Narrator Pov 4

Time was 8:45 in the morning with the blazing sun in the air, a figure could be seen walking while an even smaller figure seated on the person's shoulders. These two figures were Theodore and his cute blond haired daughter Rose.

Rose was wearing her blue overalls with a white shirt underneath. Her hair was done into a simple bun and on her back was a purple backpack that held her lunch.

Theodore was wearing dark blue slim fit jeans and a yellow shirt that had some art on it. His short black hair with white strands glistened in the sunlight.

Theodore was walking with his happy go lucky daughter on his shoulder talking about the Old Man that gave her the chance to make a wish.

Theodore was proud of her daughter shouting stranger danger when met with such creepy people. Theodore had already put a mark on his daughter that would teleport her at smallest chances of danger.

The only problem is that the marks awareness is only as good as its owner. Meaning the marks ability to sense danger is only the same level as a Theodore.

And being a regular person with zero fighting and near death experience, he basically only the simple awareness of seeing possible danger and moving away.

Theodore was worried about his daughters future and needed to begin training to make his danger awareness something like spider senses. For now, Theodore had made a mental note to make something that would protect Rose in case the mark wasn't fast enough.

'Let's see the timeline right now is a year after the events of Iron Man, the world is aware of mutants but not aliens or gods. The next big event that I know of is Iron Man 2 but that doesn't leave out other possible events. I need to be prepared for every scenario' Thought Theo worryingly

While walking and entertaining his daughter he had failed to realise that he's was being watched by the surrounding females as if he was a delectable dessert.

With his charming smile, the sunlight perfectly kissing his skin and with his fatherly love on the show, caused a storm to brew inside the passing women's hearts.

Rose had seen these stares and had been giggling in delight while also advertising her dad with a happy shout "Daddy is the best"

Rose was seen counting on her fingers by Theo and he thought to himself 'Haha my daughter is already practising for school'

Rose, on the other hand, was looking at the women walking by while counting '1 mommy, 2 mommy, 3 mommy, 4 mommy, more. 5 mommy. . . . . etc'

They finally got to kindergarten and met the teacher. The teacher was a mid-forties blond married women. Her name was Samantha Jones, She talked with Rose and Theodore about the school.

"Daddy will be at home, okay. Make sure to make lots of friends and be nice okay. Remember what I told you about bad people and boys" Said Theodore on one knee looking at Rose.

Rose nodded with her eyes slightly watery. Then she gave one last big hug to Theodor. Looking down at Rose hugging him made him want to just to pick her up and take her away but he knew he couldn't as this was an important step in her life.

So with a kiss to her forehead, he said "You be good and strong okay. Love you"

"Love you, daddy," Said, Rose before being escorted by Mrs Jones to class.

. . . . . .

Theodore was now outside the shop that Elijah had provided for him. The shop had from the outside looked run down and broken. He was beginning to think Elijah was messing with him.

Inside was the same as the outside. The tiled floor was cracked and scuffed. The wooden tables and chairs had missing legs with splinters coming out. The counter was had dents along the top.

The kitchen stuck of moulded fish and the clear sound of squeaking and scurrying could be heard. Theodore then went upstairs to check what the house portion is like. He found 4 rooms a bathroom and a toilet. That was completely empty with the doors and wall having holes in it.

While looking at the sorry state of a house/shop he said "What the fuċk am I supposed to do with this crappy place"

As if his questions were being answered a burst of light appeared just as it did in the morning. Once again a note appeared but this time with a blue and red small box.

To Theodor

Sorry about how the place looks just thought you would like to things on your own so here's another gift from this old man.

The blue box will give you the chance to fully customize the shop/house interior.

You can clean up the exterior on your own.

The red box is filled with a months supply of food and seasoning with some utensils. Make sure you open it in a clean area with lots of space.

This might be the last time I make contact with. So I hope you enjoy your life as the best chef and the strongest father.

from Elijah/God

"Well thanks but I doubt that's the last time, your most likely watching me right now, aren't you? Well enough about that let's fix this place up" Said Theodore

He picked up the small blue box and pulled a string that said "Pull here to open"

Once it was opened a hologram of the building popped up. After looking through the hologram he found a furniture set, a clean setting, construction setting and a decorative setting.

Theodore quickly got to work changing the look of the place. He replaced the tiled floor with white marble. A new modernised kitchen. The counter was now a new white marble countertop while the bottom was a dark mahogany brown.

The tables and chairs for customers had been changed to be the same dark brown. The shop portion looked beautiful as the dark brown furniture made a good contrast with the white flooring and the red brick walls.

It now came to the thing he deemed the most important and that was the upstairs living area. He first fixed all the whole and crack then changed the master bedroom to be slightly smaller to give more bathroom space.

When it came to his room he only put the basic essentials like a bed, desk, lamp and a wardrobe he did the same with the guest/spare room. It then came to Rose's room and he went all out. The walls were painted a very light purple while the floor was a covered in dark blue carpet.

The bed was a princess bed. Along the sealing was fixed little LED lights to look like stars. A large toy ċhėst that's currently empty a bean bag chair and a regular chair. A wardrobe, a child hight deck and big standing mirror.

He then moved to change the bathroom to have a separate shower and bathtub. Then he made two sinks with a large mirror in front and a stepping stool for Rose.

With that done he went down to open up the red box. About an hour later he had put away all the food, seasoning and utensils away. With nothing to do, he decided to start his training but first, he wants to try teleporting.
