Marvels Greatest Single Father - 22 Extension
At 6:30 pm everyone went their separate ways. It did take some convincing to get Chloe to leave as she didn’t want to leave the tigers but eventually Charlotte and her parents managed it some way or another.
It was now nine in the evening, Theodore had just put Rose to sleep with a story. Waiting till Rose was out cold he gave one last kiss to her head and left her room.
Standing back in the seating area for customers he called out “Okay, Sonya show me what’s underneath this building”
The T.V turned on to show the building’s foundations.
Sonya’s voice sounded “If you want to create an underground secret base then I’ll have to be brutally honest and tell you that it would take at least 6 months, this number takes your strength into account. If you had a professional team to help then it would take 5 months but this would mean having it be known by S.H.I.E.L.D”
“Did you not take into account my teleportation ability?” Asked Theodore
“Huh? what could that do? Sure you might be able to get things faster but that doesn’t make much of a difference” Said Sonya sternly
“You need to be more creative. Do a search for any old Hydra bases, S.H.I.E.L.D bases and bomb shelters that have a basement or an underground section” Said Theodore
“If you’re looking for a design, I could easily come up with one that’s way cooler and stylish,” Said Sonya
“Just do it will ya, I’ll show you what I want to do” Said Theodore
“Fine. . . . okay I found that most of the bases had been demolished but I did find a few with the underground portion still intact” Said Sonya Showing the locations with the images
“Good, let’s go basement shopping,” Said, Theodore before teleporting away.
They spent an hour teleporting around the world looking at old dusty basements that had been abandoned years if not centuries ago. After his search, he went back home.
Standing still he pictured a flat portal underneath the building, then just like the pool in the jungle he made a huge hole. Before the building and surrounding buildings could collapse the hole was replaced by the base he had come to like.
And just like that, Theodore stole an old Hydra underground research lab the size of a football pitch from Switzerland without anyone knowing and without much effort.
“That’s so broken, its dumb” Said Sonya with a surprised face.
“Hahaha watch It gets better,” Said Theodore pulling out the customisation box.
Tapping on construction he made a foundation connecting to the basement better and stronger. After making a connection the box accepted it as a part of the building. So the first thing he did was have the place cleaned then give it some proper lighting. The place was now just empty concrete space filled with pillars.
Then he moved the supercomputer from his room to one side of the room. Then he got to work turning the place into a child-friendly Batcave. He divided the whole place into two parts with a thick wall. One side was his Batcave while the other side was just a place to entertain Rose.
In the entertainment area, he changed the flooring to wood with heating underneath it. He had a created a small dojo section that had soft flooring with punching bags, dummies, etc
Another section was a small kids obstacle course with a ball pit. Theodore had forgotten the simple pleasure of just sitting next to his daughter on the sofa, enjoying a kids show/movie together.
So he added a small seating room with a long L-shaped sofa, a small tea table, 50-inch flat screen TV, a large rug and a classy wood burning fireplace. On the side were empty bookshelves that would later be a small library.
For the Batcave. Well, it’s a Batcave with lots of light. Plenty of space to test new inventions, glass casings, and a workbench. And of course the unnecessarily big screen with other smaller screens around it for the supercomputer. It might seem a little inconvenient to have another living area under the whole building but Theodore has an easy fix for that.
Due to his ability not running on any form of energy he can permanently leave a portal open this how the fireplaces smoke is dealt with. So standing in the upstairs hallway he filled a wall with a portal that led to the basement.
The portal wasn’t hazy but just a clear open walkway, walking through it didn’t give the feeling of discomfort or any other anomaly. Now there was an illusion that the basement is just the extension of upstairs.
With this idea in mind, he made small a few dot sized portals near the top of the ceiling that allowed the fresh air of the mountains to blow aimlessly around the basement this kept the place from feeling stuffy.
Looking at his work he gave a satisfied smile and said “Now this is home”
“I couldn’t agree more,” Said Sonya with a smile
“Right on to business, how are the novels doing” Asked Theodore, who sat back on the L-shaped sofa while wood burns in the fireplace.
“Well, I uploaded the ten chapters that you write up for Bleach and Naruto. Then using the fake accounts I made. I went on to the already popular novels and advertised them shamelessly which then dragged in some curious people to read it. From there, its popularity has already pulled in some dedicated fans that have continually asked for more chapters” Said Sonya with some excitement in her voice.
“Good, has there been any word from the website asking for a contract,” Said Theodore happily
“Unfortunately, no there hasn’t, as it says you need at least 50,000 words to be eligible. So can you start writing up the next few chapters” Said Sonya
“Maybe later,” Said Theodore tiredly
“B, But your fans really want more” Said Sonya with some panic
“Are you one of those fans, by any chance?” Said, Theodore with a mocking smile
“So what, stop being annoying and just add another chapter or at least tell me what happens next,” Said, Sonya with a grumpy tone
“Nah I’ll do it tomorrow,” Said Theodore not the least bit phased.
