Chapter 5 - Chap.5: Dinner

(POV Hiro)

After running home after the fiasco at the Junkyard I received an earful from my mother for being two freakin minutes late.

Dad would have helped me out but he wasn't home likely still working at the station which always took long.

One time he came back at one thirty two in the morning and had to leave again a few hours after that due to a jailbreak at Rykers.

Once the yelling was over with my mom though she sent me to my room where my presents were kept with the addition of my prizes of course.

Oh yeah!!

I grabbed the Box Dave gave me placing it down on my desk seeing if the box had broken any of the chips and other Nick knacks I procured.

Sadly two of the chips broke but it wasn't that big of a deal due to the other stuff I got.

Yeah the Sentinel head or half head I guess was a bust but soon enough I'll make something even better than a Sentinel.

Of course that will be several years in the future but that still won't stop me!

Now for the dissecting of machines.

I grabbed the 3d printer and slowly took each piece apart for reassembly thanks to my trusty Screwdriver.

Of course my screwdriver wasn't normal it was in the shape of a unicorns horn and with it had a small laser coming out of it. Hidden within the tip of the horns.

Don't worry I put on my safety googles before I began. Wouldn't want to burn my eyes out. Oh and my googles like my other stuff was thankfully normal! 

Yeah it's nice having the jump on enemies and possible future Pranks of cash, but having to wear stuff as well as make it look like a toy kinda gets old. 

But some of you may be wondering 'Hey what about that weird device on the back of my wagon?'

Boom!

Destroyed it way before I got home no one beats me in the tech department especially in my own house.

But back to the point my laser guided unicorn horn and I began to saw until. An unknown and unstoppable occurrence took form.

"Hiro!! Get down here it's dinner time!"

(POV General)

Shia Hiro's mom called him down for dinner the boy in question placed his screwdriver down and speeded downstairs in hopes of avoiding another yelling incident with his mother.

Where just in time Hiro's father Oda had returned home placing his jacket on the coat hanger.

The coat that was being hung was the average NYPD issued jacket covered In its navy blue colors.

On top of the hanger Oda Okamura placed his police cap on the hanger and slumped towards the dinning table.

After returning to his home Oda acted like all tired parents do which was having circles under his eyes, a grogginess in his speech, and worn out demeanor.

But what took both Hiro's and Shia's attention from Oda was that a type of glow was stuck in his hair.

"Dad? What's that gunk?"

Hiro not reading the situation well pointed out what was the obvious doing of a super villain.

However Oda was a good police officer however Oda had another career that beat his current one and that career had to be the one and only family man. Oda smiling at his son momentarily forgot the tiredness he felt and said smiling.

"Not at the table where your Mother had cooked us such a tantalizing meal."

And Oda was right Shia had cooked a generous meal Ribeye with green beans and rice on the side.

Both men of the house looked at the meals with both their eyes and stomachs. Where once finished began on eating.

As the meal continued everyone asked each other about their days leaving out any work unless it was pressed.

Until all eyes were on Hiro.

"So Hiro what was your day like?"

Oda after eating refilled his nourishment levels and restored a piece of vitality to himself as he asked his son how he was doing. Removing some darkness from his tired visage.

Hiro about to let slip the Sentinel head quickly stopped himself. As if he were to tell them they'd forbid him from going to Dave's Junkyard again preventing any possible technology to be made.

"Oh I just grabbed some nicknacks with the Dave's help."

Looking at Hiro with a grain of salt Oda accepted it internally thinking that he was at the age he could be given some responsibility regarding this and left it at that.

Once dinner concluded both men of the house helped clean the kitchen and the dishes that were used for the meal while Shia would prepare herself to go to work as she worked on the night shift at New York Hospital.

Once she left the house locking the door Hiro spoke to his father as he wiped the counter top down asking.

"So what was with the gunk in your ear?"

Oda as he washed dishes monetarily sighed but answered his son's question.

"The Trapster was back in town quite literally gluing the place until Spider-Man joined. But more damage than help was given. So the tax dollars aren't going to look good."

Spider-Man was well liked even by Oda but even if the image he portrayed was loved the actions he took were indeed helpful however it wasn't 'Helpful' in the way of tax dollars.

After that was said both men went quiet for a time until the work was done. The one who broke the silence was Oda who yawned and stretched saying.

"See ya kiddo I'm gonna shower then hit the sack."

Hiro after wishing his father well followed suit taking his own shower but before bed looked at his Design Books opening each page looking at the drawings he made.

After his nightly ritual Hiro went to bed while several miles above New York the Triskelion was doing its job surveilling the city protecting it from its shadows.

 Inside the Triskelion Nick Fury the Director of the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division. Or Shield as most have come to call it.

Was viewing a holographic video screen for five super-powered individuals fighting amongst themselves during a combat exercise.

And based on the folly Fury grew dreary with every second of watching until a bell ringing could be heard signifying a notification.

Hoping to find good news looked at his notification bringing it to the Home Screen seeing a familiar face.

"What is it agent Hill?"

"Sir. I have a report on our mystery 'recruit.'"

Nick fury took a pensive stand as he coiled his hands around his back putting his stance into account as a leader.

"Well?" Nick questioned welcoming Hill to explain the sudden interruption. 

Hill using a button brought her image to the right of a blue holographic screen showing images of the Rabbit bomb that was used to capture Batroc the Leaper.

Knowing Hill to carry explanation Fury remained quiet waiting for Hill to continue which she did as another image of Hiro to appear.

"This is Hiro Okumura son of the cities police commissioner Oda Okumura. Today an old Sentinel device was found within a junkyard and this boy was the one to both find and locate it."

"How does this prove this Okumura is our mystery recruit?" Fury ever straight forward questioned his disbelief in the brought information waiting Hill's answer.

"Sir. Coulson and agent Melinda May ran into both the boy and the owner. The boy couldn't be stopped for questioning as he wasn't the target. However Coulson was wise enough to send agent May after him securely placing a tracker on him."

Fury still trying to find the connection was about to voice his concerns until Hill finished off with what brewed interest.

"Agent Coulson then spent a time speaking with the owner David Hasselhoff about Hiro Okumura. Learning of his technological prowess as he created a pair of toy googles that were able to locate the Sentinels cranium within the rubble."

Hearing this Fury smirked "Good work keep monitoring him for now before we make our move and make sure this Okumura is in the same classes as our other recruits.

"Understood sir." With the report over Hill cut his transmission leaving only Hiro Okumura's picture next to his Sticky Bomb toy.

Fury began took a seat at his desk allowing the gears to turn and formulate a strategy to acquire this source by any means.
