Marvels Strongest Father - Chapter 60

Before getting to some real fun Theodore first introduced the convenient changing rooms. Taking out a set of deck chairs and beach umbrellas they set up a place to relax and sunbathe.

With everything done Theodore took out a long piece of metal. The long piece of metal had a tattoo like an appearance boarding on tribal and robotic.

Passing a set around Theodore then introduce it “This is an emergency safety tat. It will review your situation for any dangers. Once it detects any form of danger that could be life threatening or leave you crippled it will deploy a barrier to protect you”

He then moved to show how to use it “All you do is place it near your wrist then it will wrap around and sink into your skin. Then you have a cool tattoo that keeps you safe. In case you’re worried that it’s permanent then don’t fret as it easily detaches”

Around his wrist was a black and white tattoo that covered his forearm. The tattoo appeared to be a tribal tattoo that had mechanical and cyberpunk vibe. Most importantly it was it good looking.

“Sorry, but why a tattoo, don’t you think the kids are too young for a tattoo’s” Said Laura who immediately confiscated her kid’s safety tat.

“ah Sorry, I almost forgot there’s also a black elastic band version,” Said, Theo, pulling out a plain black wrist band

“Can I have the tattoo Dad, It looks really cool?” Said Cooper excitedly

“Sure thing buddy, we’ll take two safety, tats,” Said, Clint while rubbing his son’s hair

“Cooper, you ain’t keeping it on after this. Well, we’ll take the wrist band’s, thank you,” Said, Laura happily

With everyone wearing the necessary protection Theodore began to speak “Okay, so what’s first jet ski’s, banana boat, surfing, windsurfing or maybe just a swim”

“I can’t swim there’s too much water, dad!” Said Rose while raising her hand

“Pool too big,” Said, Chloe shaking frightfully while looking at the open ocean

“I can swim,” Said, Cooper proudly with a confident nod

Lila tugged at her mother’s hand with a pleading look.

Laura looked down and said “Don’t worry, Dad, Cooper and Mommy, will teach ya”

Lila gave a wide smile and nodded happily.

Clint and Theodore were stood side by side while Rose, Chloe and Lida held onto their outstretched arms.

“Dad, I can’t feel the ground, Where the ground!?” Shouted Rose fearful

“I don’t want to swim, Daddy,” Said, Chloe

“I’m a scared dad,” Said Lida tearfully towards Clint

Theodore looked at Clint as they both exchange the same look of concern.

“So like how did you learn to swim” Said Theo as the kids began to splash each other with their free hand

“I fell off a boat and was forced to adapt” Said Clint with a deep sigh before continuing “What about you?”

“When I was 4 my family went on a trip to Fiji, there I learnt how the locals learnt to swim” Said Theo with some difficult

“Sounds nice,” Said Clint

“Let me finish, my family and other families took a boat to the deep waters and then they took the kids by the armpits and through them a few meters away from the boat, and then we just swim,” Said Theo

“Haha, didn’t you say your family was normal,” Said Clint

“Well, they are normal but the moment they learn something they have the need to try it out and at the time I was seen as a genius for a kid so they thought I would be fine well try weren’t wrong,” Said, Theo while shrugging

“Haha, that’s quite common in tropical countries. Well Lida are you still scared” Said Clint

Lisa stopped splashing her new friends and shook her head “Nope, it’s fun”

“What about you two” Said Theo

“I’m A-Okay” Said Rose with a bright smile

“It’s good,” Said Chloe happily

“Okay now well teach you how to swim” Said Theo before looking his fellow teacher

Lida looked up at her dad (Clint) nervously and said: “Me too?”

“Yes we will teach you to go real fast,” Said Clint with an exaggerated tone while lifting his daughter up in the air

A few meters away from Theo was his Girlfriends, prospective girlfriend Natasha May, Betty, Laura and Banna aimlessly floating on a floaty.

“So what’s everyone thinking,” Said Sonya

“Well, I’m just shocked that S.H.I.E.L.D surveillance has never picked up on this clearly high energy using the island. It amazing the energy usage need to run this place amounts to the same amount as a large country,” Said Banna while sipping on a coconut

“Huh? S.H.E.I.L.D?” Said May in a questioning tone

“It’s just a secret international anti-terrorism department like FBI but it focuses on the supernatural like mutants and other abnormalities,” Said Charlotte simply not caring for the secrecy

“Um should you have told me that like, will I be” Said May while making a cut-throat action

“Nah, If they made a move on you then they will have to deal with the big bad wolf,” Said Jennifer while pointing at Theo in the distance

“Is Theo really that amazing like is he a big shot or is he national threat” Said May meekly

“Nope,” Said Natasha

May sighed in relief

“He’s a universal threat,” Said Sonya

*Gulp* Was heard from May as she shook for a second before her eyes became steady and said “Doesn’t matter I’m still gonna pester him until he tells me what Peter has been up too”

Sona looked at her fellow women ‘I call by the end the day she falls for him’

Natasha replied back while secretly raising 2 fingers ‘2 days’

‘I think she can hold out for 5 days’ Thought Jennifer

‘I say the same as Jenni’ Thought Charlotte

‘I’m hopeful and think she won’t fall at all’ Said Betty hoping for May to be normal

‘She is on the edge but not yet it will take at least a day for her to completely fall unless someone gives her a push’ Said Laura wisely

While the girls were making bets Bruce looked at the situation and said “Did I miss something?”

“Nope, so how is your guy’s new place,” Asked Sonya towards Betty and Bruce

“It’s only been one night but it’s nice and quiet,” Said Betty

“Yeah it’s really nice, I’m particularly grateful for the lab” Said Bruce

“So have you guys done any science stuff,” Said Jennifer

“We’re trying to relax” Said Bruce while showing a smile to Betty

“So you guys are scientists” Asked May

“Ah, right we ain’t done any proper introductions. Bruce Banner and this is Betty Ross they are considered the top scientists that specializes in gamma radiation but not limited to it,” Said, Jennifer enthusiastically

“Betty Ross? Wait aren’t you that girl on the news that went missing, your dad is looking for you” Said May as springs up from her floaty

“Sigh, he’s not looking for me but for Bruce,” Said, Betty sadly knowing the bitter truth

“And you the guy that her Dad said kidnapped her,” Said May loudly

“We’ll it will be known soon enough and Theo is more frightening than the truth. I’m the big green giant that ran amuck in New York was me” Said, Bruce tiredly

“What? So you’re on the run” Said May

“Yeah, technically b-but Hulk is a good guy he never fights unless irritated. They also twisted the story Hulk was getting rid of the monster” Said Betty defensively

May’s was in shock as she

“Your gonna need to get used it as Theo has a thing for making Interesting friends,” Said Charlotte

“Your form of interesting is dangerous” Said May tiredly before continuing with a bright and confident smile “But It ain’t boring”

“So is there anymore ‘interesting’ things that you haven’t mentioned ” Said May

“Well, we are S.H.I.E.L.D agents that include Clint. Oh and I can also turn into a 7ft female version of cousin and Nat is one the worlds greatest spy and ȧssassin while Clint is the most talented archer” Said Jennifer while pointing at Natasha

“I’m just a mother and a writer” Said Charlotte

“Oh, it’s my turn well I was the worlds best A.I,” Said, Sonya proudly

“What!!?” Said May, Laura, Bruce and Betty

“I never did hear how you managed to become human” Said Natasha

Everyone not including Charlotte looked at Sonya with eyes of expectations.

“Well I was an A.I that Theo had built initially I lived in the screens or the things around the house then I built a body with Theo and made it become my main body. Though I was still not human as I couldn’t taste or touch then. One night I while I was working in the lab I began to float and glow with a bright a light then I became Human. And they lived happily ever after” Said Sonya comically

May, Natasha, Laura, Bruce and Jennifer stared at her in disbelief.

“But how?!” Said, Bruce while his eyes sparkled with interest

“I don’t know. After I became human Theo appeared not the least bit surprised but more of like he anticipated it. I kinda gathered that Theo was the cause” Said, Sonya

“That’s it!? The idea that Theo turned your synthetic skin and mechanical parts into real flesh and blood with some mystical light is not logical it’s, IT’S Godlike!” Said Bruce frustratedly

Hearing the obvious conclusion that Bruce came to the others went quite thinking of just how outrageous Sonya’s story is.

As they thought about it a tall shadow appears suddenly behind and slowly moves in on May.

“BOO!,” Said Theodore while grabbing May’s shoulders

“Ahhh, Eeek!!!” Shouted May as she trails and falls off her floaty

*SPLASH*

“Wow, that worked better than I thought it would,” Said Theo while nodding to himself

May sprung out from the water and said “What the hell Theo you scared me nearly half to death”

May proceeded to throw jabs at Theodore’s chiselled abs.

“How are the swimming lessons going” Said Laura

Stretching his arms out accepting May’s punches Theodore replied “The girls can just about swim but it doesn’t matter match as the wristband detects distress in its users and helps them with the situation. So I think we can start having some fun like Cooper is doing”

Theodore pointed Cooper who was having the time of his life on a jet ski.

*VROOM*

“COOPER!! slow it down you could injure yourself!!” Shouted Laura at her son who was now speeding around on a jet ski.

“It okay Mom my tattoo will save me look..” Said Cooper as he drove up a small ramp and intentionally falls off.

With no sign of fear, he spread his hands and legs to do a heart-wrenching and skin slapping belly flop.

(Note: Belly Flops are dangerous)

“COOPER!!” Shouted everyone in distress

A few seconds before his body could hit the water surface a blurry barrier appeared below him that then absorbed the impact than he steadily fell into the water uninjured.

“Whoo!!” Shouted Cooper as he pops out of the water

“Phew,” Said Laura in relief

Theodore’s usual cool self was showing a broken smile. From watching the scene as he learnt that absolute safety in danger.

“I’m next” Shouted Chloe and Rose excitedly

“Umm Chloe Rose it’s very dangerous so let’s just swim, please,” Said Theodore appearing next to them begging for them to not be reckless

“It’s okay I trust daddy’s inventions,” Said Rose while raising her wrist band

“That’s really sweet Princess but I’m not comfortable with seeing you do something like that” Said Theodore with a difficult smile

Chloe being the smartest of the two contemplated her options with her hand on her chin making a thinking look.

After some thought, she gave a hard thought and said with confidence radiating from her “Dad”

“Yes,” Said Theodore hoping that Chloe had weighed the good and the bad, and saw his point.

Those hopes were immediately trampled on by Chloe answer

“It’s okay as long as you look away,” Said Chloe while nodding to herself

Her sister Rose looked at Chloe and said “Of course, dad go play Mommy, Momma and the Aunties”

Before he could reply he watched his kids swim away and move towards the kid-sized jet ski.

‘Did my kids just shoo me away. No, they’ve skipped phases. That parent advice book said that it would start when they near their teens’ Complained Theodore with the painful expression of a heartbroken man

“Sigh, Daisy keep there speed to a safe one please” Said Theodore while watching his daughters struggle on to the jet ski’s

“Rose, Chloe,” said Charlotte who saw her grieving boyfriend sulking

“Yes!!” Shouted Rose and Chloe

“Drive slow and no ramps or you won’t be allowed to watch cartoons for a week” Said Charlotte like the experienced parent she is

(Note: Charlotte has been a mother for 5 years while Theodore has only had 1 year)

“O-Kay,” Said the girls in a less than enthusiastic voice

Theodore looked towards Clint and his Lida enjoying their father-daughter time and thought ‘Cherish it, friend’

Looking back towards his daughters he shouted “Wait for me let’s play a game”
