Ch. 4 It's dinner time

"Let's go set the table, Lorraine would you mind helping with the plates?"
"No problem, I'll 'just put Daniel in his chair."
Mom put me in my baby chair and helped grandma with the final touches for dinner, grace decided to join them in the kitchen, leaving me alone with grandpa and Scott.
Scott approached my grandpa, trying to start a conversation.
"So Herald, how's it being the new sheriff? I bet the pay is better."
"I'll admit the raise is a good welcome, but I like to think that I can do my job better, keep our streets a little safer in this crazy times."
At that, I detect a little judgment in his voice; looks like he doesn't like Scott very much or he took offense for the question.
'I hope this guy can do better, so far not impressed.'
Scott see's he isn't making good conversation so he tries to change the subject.
"How is Lorraine, I image it's been difficult for you and your wife, given the situation."
'Wow, really doesn't take long for me to be proven right, the guy is an asshole, I want to punch him.'
"My daughter is doing great, so is my wife and grandson. What about Grace and you, have you been good with my baby girl?"
Grandpa answers firmly and with an edge his voice, I think even a deaf man can understand the message.
"Yes I have, everything is great."
And just like that, awkward silence, this conversation is officially dead and buried.
Good thing dinner was ready, mother and Grace came and told us to get to the table, she took me with her, placing me on her lap they did a little prayer and started eating.
A couple minutes later and the small talk started, grandma said.
"It's so good you're coming back to Texas, when are you moving?"
Grace answer with a big smile.
"We'll be moving in a couple of months, Scott became branch manager here on Texas so well be moving on Dallas."
"Maybe we can buy a house at the lake near here; you know spend the vacations there with you guys."
Scott said while giving a squeezing Grace's hand.
"It's a good idea, I hope we can see more of you two, Beaumont is less than a 300 miles from Dallas."
'So I'm in Beaumont, good to know grandpa'
And like that, the rest of the dinner went, nothing new to learn, grace is a house wife of the 40s and appears happy, she and Scott have been married for a year and a couple months, they dated since college, she graduated in administration and marketing.
Scott is a company man, he is an attorney specializes in property, construction and business.
"Lorraine if you want I could look for an opening for you, I could use a secretary it's nothing too difficult."
Scott offers my mom, I honestly can say this doesn't sound good, and I'm not the only one.
"No thank you, I'll stay here with my parents for a while."
Mom says and grandma agrees with her.
"Your right darling, you should get yourself a good man instead of a job."
"Actually mom, I was thinking I could work at the sheriff station with dad, if that's ok with you dad?"
Grandpa is under the spotlight now, he thinks about it for a while, looking in mother's eyes and he says while nodding his head.
"I would like that honey, I miss you around, besides I trust you better than half of the boys in the station."
"I shot better too."
"hahaha; of course you can, I taught you."
While father and daughter were having their moment, I could see my grandma does not like the idea, if looks could kill the table would be bloody.
'Grandpa isn't getting any tonight, hope she doesn't couch him.'

MC POV
It has been a couple of months since the dinner, the war officially ended In September 2, it was a good day, we had a celebration here in the house, mom looked really happy, she was a bit emotional that day, grandpa and grandma cried, mom cried, I cried and we hugged out.
The town had a celebration, the mayor made a speech about the heroes who fought in the war, the people who could not come home; it was an emotional day for many families.
'So many people died, and a lot of them weren't even 20, this is war.'
As I was reflecting on the consequences of war, I heard the mayor say.
"Even our greatest heroes have fallen; Captain America fell so he could stop the madness that was brought by the Nazi Germany, may our sons, brothers and fathers rest now and forever be remember."
'Wait, did he say Cap-'

'Holy shit, I'm in marvel.'
I try not panicking, taking deep breaths I calm down.
'Ok, it's not that bad, I'm in 1945 so captain America just got iced, noting major or world ending happens for at least 60 years I think?
No that's not right, if I'm in comic marvel that time lime could be 10 or 20 years, I have to know where I am.'
Time to put my game face on.
That night, when everyone was asleep, I made a decision.
'I going to try feel my nuclear power; I'll be careful and just feel it.'
I closed my eyes and meditated, trying to feel anything different or supernatural in me, it did not work but I kept trying for days, every night meditated, this went on for weeks, but I got nothing else to do, by the end of the third month I finally felt something.
As I was lying down, taking deep breaths, I felt my heartbeat a little stronger, I almost didn't noticed the first time, but when it happened again I became sure it's something, I focused on that feeling and every time my heartbeats like that I started to feel a heat running through my veins, it's very weak.
'This actually feels nice, like a warm shower.'
The more I focus on my heartbeat the stronger it gets, the heat started to spread through my chest, I opened my eyes and saw my baby chest started to glow a little, very little I could see my heart glowing.
'Ok that's enough; I don't what to become the glowing baby of America.'
I took a deep breath and relaxed my body my heartbeat became normal and my chest stop glowing.
'Success finally, this was phenomenal, I may be only a glorified lantern, but man I can't wait for the future, I mean a nuclear blast isn't little, not many people in marvel can survive that.'
