Marvel: Son of Tomorrow
Chapter 2 Adoption
Adopting Clark didn't present much trouble.
The old couple also saw Benjamin and Mei's desire for a child, and as long as it did not cause them any trouble, they were willing to help the young couple with the adoption procedures.
Ben even spent some extra money to ask the old couple to help temporarily keep the UFO. After returning to New York, Benjamin would find other opportunities to slowly transport the aircraft to New York.
As for the adoption procedure, it is even simpler.
For the country, if someone is willing to raise a child, then what reason is there to refuse? There is not even an orphanage involved, so the adoption procedure is even simpler. There is no need to go back to New York. The procedures have already been completed in Kansas, and you just need to wait until New York to report it again.
So, after finishing all their affairs, the Parkers set out on the road back to New York with their new child.
Looking at the two people playing and laughing in the back seat, Benjamin had never felt that life was so bright. With his abilities, he would not have been just an ordinary employee in the company. However, just to be with Mei and to live a life with Mei by his side, he gave up his so-called bright future and established a family he loved.
And now, their family is completely complete. For Benjamin, his life is completely happy. What he needs to do next is to live every day well.
"plum..."
"What's wrong, Ben?"
May, who was playing with Clark, stopped what she was doing and ignored the increasingly aggrieved expression on Clark's face, because his favorite toy ball was still in May's hand.
"I will always love you..."
This simple sentence contains Benjamin's most sincere feelings for May and their family. Even though she already knew Benjamin's feelings for her, May still had tears in her eyes.
"Say these words that make me cry..."
“Wow!!! Wow!!”
As the two looked at each other through the rearview mirror, Clark seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and burst into tears.
For a moment, the touching atmosphere disappeared, and was replaced by joy that once again filled the car.
"Don't cry, Clark, Dad loves you too. I'll love you for a thousand years."
The family returned to New York with laughter and warmth along the way. The Parkers, who had already made up their minds, made drastic changes to their lives after informing their relatives about Clark's situation.
In order to let Clark live in a good environment, they sold their apartment in the city and moved to the forest community in the suburbs of Queens, and used all their savings to buy a small detached villa.
This place is very close to Midtown High School. When Clark reaches middle school age, he can even walk to school without being too anxious. The environment is also beautiful. Although it will make Benjamin's commute to work troublesome and will cause May, who was originally engaged in community work, to lose her job, as long as it is good to Clark, they have no regrets.
At the same time, they also bought a lot of baby items. As new parents, they used everything they had to provide the best things for Clark. During this period, Benjamin and his brother Richard basically never stopped talking on the phone. Although his brother Richard also had no children, Benjamin still kept asking various questions, as if this brother who worked in the Austen Group was an omnipotent existence.
Richard and his wife Mary also became interested in Clark. They were happy for Benjamin and May, and also wanted to meet their little nephew.
So, one night a week after Benjamin and May returned to New York, Richard brought his wife to visit Benjamin's new home.
"Oh! Ben, you should lose weight."
After the warm hug, Richard could clearly feel his brother's enthusiasm and the strength of his arms, which almost strangled him to death.
"Haha, yes, I must stay healthy and spend more time with May and Clark."
Richard and Mary looked at each other and smiled at the same time. Benjamin was happy, so naturally as his relatives, they were also happy for him.
Led by Benjamin, the two came to the living room which was almost completely decorated as a children's room.
"Oh my God! Benjamin, it's enough to decorate a room for the children. The whole living room has become like this. How inconvenient it is for you to move around in the house."
The floor was almost covered with toys, so much so that even after the two of them took off their shoes, they felt like they had nowhere to stand.
"Haha, the ventilation in the room is not good, which is bad for health. Besides, Clark is playing in the living room, which has a bigger space. It will be easier for Mei to take care of him when she is at home."
It was just a simple explanation, but it fully reflected the love the two had for Clark.
Even Mary was infected, wondering if it would be the same after she and Richard had a child. However, she and Richard were both very busy at work, so it would probably take a few years before they could have a child.
"Richard...Richard what are you looking at?"
Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin had already started inviting people to sit down as the dinner was about to begin, but Mary noticed that her husband was distracted. She followed his gaze and saw that Richard's eyes were fixed on Clark who was playing with toys.
"This is...."
Mary, who worked with Richard, naturally noticed that something was wrong with Clark.
Judging from his appearance, Clark should be a child who is only about one month old. But now, this child who normally can only sleep in a cradle is sitting on the ground, playing with a solid rubber ball in his hands. He has already mastered the rules of the game and started to hit the ball on the ground and make it bounce back.
Whether in cognitive ability or physical fitness, Clark's performance far exceeds that of ordinary people.
Benjamin might have been so happy that he didn't pay attention to this aspect, but Richard, who was a half-outsider and worked in biology, was keenly aware of Clark's extraordinaryness.
"Richard..this.."
"Don't say..."
Richard made a gesture for silence, then pulled Mary to sit down, and the family began the dinner that May had prepared for a whole day.
But in the midst of laughter, Richard couldn't help but look at Clark, who was playing with toys and drinking milk from the bottle when he was hungry.
After the dinner, Richard and his wife said goodbye because they had to work the next day and got into the car they came in.
"Is there really no need to talk about it? Clark's situation is obviously not that of an ordinary person."
As employees of the Austen Group, a group famous for its military industry and biotechnology, the couple naturally knew a lot. Ever since Captain America in World War II, the world has never stopped pursuing super soldiers.
Mary is worried that Clark's true identity is the product of a failed experiment. If it gets out of control one day, or if he gets sick from side effects, Benjamin and May who are unprepared will be heartbroken.
Richard closed his eyes tightly, and opened them slowly after a long time.
"Mary, please contact May frequently in the future. We need to keep an eye on Clark's condition. Benjamin loves him, so he is my nephew. Speaking out now will only cause more trouble, but I can't just do nothing."
