Reborn As Harry Osborn Marvel - 73 Dinner
Saturday
Since returning from New Mexico under Bernard’s constant persistence, I invited Felicia to come over for dinner. After getting her to agree to come on Sunday for dinner, I focus my attention on researching Thor’s Blood. Using Thor’s blood as a guideline, I made the necessary changes to the Oz Serum research.
The more time I spend studying Thor’s blood sample, the more amaze I felt since his genetic makeup allows Thor to produce nearly unlimited energy. From my research I determine that Thor’s body is like a giant battery that never ran out of juice. Since one of Thor’s ability is related to lightning manipulation, it has the potential to help further improve my current abilities.
Even though I am busy with my research, I still maintain a close eye on the situation in New Mexico. When one of the breaking news stated that New Mexico is hit by a large typhoon storm with no fatality, I give a sigh of relief. Feeling at ease, I decided to prepare for Felicia’s arrival
…….
Sunday (Evening)
Felicia’s POV
Felicia stood in front of the mirror and nervously smoothen her dress for the umpteenth time. It is the fourth dress that she has changed into but she still can’t decide what she should wear. Deep inside her heart, she is really nervous since it will be the first time she meet Harry’s adopted family Bernard without the others around.
Since her mother will be at attending a charity gala tonight, she accepted Harry’s invitation to go to his house for dinner. Felicia is deep in thought worrying about every little things, when she is startled by the ringing sound of her apartment’s buzzer.
Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Felicia turn towards the mirror chanted “You can do it!”.
End of Felicia’s POV
…
“Wow!” I exclaimed in amazement as I stared at Felicia who just exited her building. Felicia is wearing a beautiful white floral off shoulder sundress with pink flowers patterns.
Felicia giggled at my reaction as she asked “Is it too much?” before twirling around to let me have a better look at her dress.
“No, you look amazing! but…” I answered before staring directly at her face.
“But what?” Felicia quickly asked in concern.
“I didn’t know that you wear glasses” I said feeling confuse.
“I don’t. This glasses doesn’t have any prescription and I wanted to look smart” Felicia mumbled slowly before her face start turning red in embarrassment.
“You don’t have too, just be yourself… ” I said laughing while Felicia stomped her feet in embarrassment.
Felicia hurried place her glasses into the handbag and held my hand in hers before pouting at me.
“It will be okay” I said smiling before kissing her forehead in reassurance.
After my gesture of affection, Felicia smiled back at me and nodded her head.
….
The building is a specially renovated 7,500 square foot, 24-foot-wide 3 storey townhouse with modern amenity wrapped in a thoughtful and historical rebuild and fenestration to help give the house beautiful light and warmth. A reconstructed stoop that leads to the open Parlor Floor with amazing views and usable blue stone-paved courtyard. The garden, level, containing the kitchen, pantry and formal dining room.
It has 7 luxury rooms with private bathrooms and an informal living area with a wet bar and wood burning fireplaces. The building is fitted with the latest technology which include air conditioning, lighting control, humidity control, and a security system. Outside the building security guards constantly patrol the housing area. Meanwhile located underneath the whole building is the Nightwing base.
“Gulp!” Felicia swallowed her saliva loudly as I lead her towards the front door of my home.
“Relax, everything will be okay” I said as I laced my fingers with hers.
“Tell me again why am I doing this?” Felicia asked nervously and gently bite her own lips.
“Bernard just want to meet you since you are my girlfriend” I answered with a shrug of my shoulder.
Felicia grumbled “Fine”.
“Either that or he is worried that you will corrupt the cute little boy here” I playfully answered smirking.
Felicia rolled her eyes in annoyance before laughing as she said “You are not that innocent and thanks for cheering me up, I really needed that”
“Don’t worry about a thing. I am here for you” I replied laughing before brushing her hair behind her ear. I continued “I will probably feel the same way, if I meet your parent for the first time”
Felicia nodded “Let’s do this. But remember you owe me big time for doing this”
Holding her hand in mine, I leading Felicia into the building.
Walking towards the dining room, we found Barnard busy setting down the kitchen utensils onto the dining table.
“I am back and Felicia is here too” I called out smiling as I approached Bernard and assisted him with the kitchen utensils.
Felicia followed closely behind me stuttered slightly “Hi, Mr Bernard. You have a beautiful home”.
“Welcome, Felicia and thank you. Relax and make yourself at home. Don’t be afraid I won’t bite, I am not some monster or anything!” Bernard smiled warmly and insisted her to sit down.
“Let me help you with that” said Felicia trying to get up from her chair.
“No, no, no. Just sit there. Dinner is done. Harry help me with the food” Bernard said excitedly.
Bernard hurriedly pushed me towards the kitchen. After placing everything on the table and sitting down, Bernard excitedly asked “So Felicia, how did you and Harry end up together?”.
“Bernard! Slow down! You are scaring her” I said scowling.
“What? I am just excited Harry finally bring home a girl” Bernard replied teasingly
Felicia giggled as she replied “It is okay, Harry. Well actually we are friend and after spending a lot of time together… I guess it just happened….. and Harry kinda actually saved my life”.
“Oh… that is right, the incident at Midtown High. I still don’t understand what the robbers were thinking when they attack the school” Bernard replied enthusiastically.
“At least we got out of the whole ordeal in one piece” I replied trying to downplay the whole incident.
“That is true… so Felicia, how did Harry ask you to be his girlfriend? I hope it is something romantic” Bernard asked.
‘Well…he didn’t give me a choice… he just kissed me and said that I belong to him” Felicia said with a serious expression.
“Hey!” I exclaimed
“What?” Bernard said with a shocked expression.
“Bernard, she is joking! You think I will force her?” I hurriedly replied.
Bernard stared at me before mumbling “That is possible”.
Hearing Bernard’s reply, Felicia laughed.
“Felicia, how could you?” I said as I looked at her pitifully.
“Sorry, I can’t help myself” Felicia replied playfully before holding my hand in hers reassuringly.
Bernard and Felicia laughed along as they quickly become fast friend. As time slowly pass by, Felicia can be seen getting along with Bernard like a fish to water as Bernard tell her about my childhood embarrassing stories.
When it is time for Felicia to leave, Bernard said “Felicia, please take care of Harry. I will leave him to you”.
Felicia smiled before replying “Don’t worry, I will protect him”
“You make it sounds like you are giving me away” I mumbled feeling slightly annoyed with the whole situation while Felicia laughed at my misfortune.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah!” Bernard replied dismissively before continuing “Harry, make sure she get home safe, okay? Don’t come back too late”.
“Alright, I will be back soon” I replied.
Sitting inside the vehicle, I wrapped my hand around hers before asking “So, what do you think?”
“It was amazing….. Bernard is really kind, warm and funny! It is like a real family….I am glad that I came along” Felicia replied warmly before leaning her head on my shoulder.
“Real family? What about your mum?” I asked even though I know the answer.
“No, it is never like this at home when I am with her. She is always too busy with her work” Felicia grumbled.
“Don’t worry, I will always be here for you” I answered reassuringly before holding her in my arms.
Felicia nodded her head before replying “Thank you, I know I can always can count on you”.
“Yeah and it seems like Bernard loves you more than me already” I grumbled.
“Someone is jealous” Felicia replied with a laugh.
“A bit” I mumbled while acting upset.
“Don’t worry, Harry. I love you” Felicia before giving cheek a kiss.
