Marvel: Breezing Through History as an Eternal

Chapter 162: Theo and Gwen’s day off. 2010 CE

Theo was sitting in his living room in front of the television as usual, but what’s not usual however, is that he was sitting on top of Grodd’s lap, beside him was Gwen, and they were eating popcorn that was put in a big ass bowl.

They were watching a movie right now, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

“You humans have excellent skills in filmmaking.'' said Grodd, munching on popcorn.

“This is the worst movie out of all that came out so far.” commented Helios. “You liked it?”

“What is life without drama?” Grodd shrugged. “I think it represents the usual teenage puberty quite well.”

“The book is much better,” said Helios casually. “Although the actress that plays Hermione is really pretty, too pretty for Hermione...”

“Really? You think she’s pretty?” Gwen asked curiously.

“She’s an actress Gweny, of course she’s pretty.”

Gwen hummed casually as she took a handful of popcorn and stuff it to her mouth.

Grodd chuckled in amusement as he watched the two interact. “What about you little Gwen, what do you think of the movie?”

“I think I’m not supposed to watch this yet…” she murmured in worry. “But that pink dress is pretty, and that bald guy looks funny…”

Grodd laughed. “Worry not little Gwen, your parents won’t know you have watched this.”

Gwen nodded innocently. “You think we could be accepted to Hogwarts when we’re eleven, Theo?”

“Hogwarts is not real Gweny…”

“I wouldn’t count on that.” Grodd chuckled, making Helios raise his brow. “There are countless other universes besides ours, and maybe in one of them, Hogwarts existed. But the possibility of travelling to that specific universe is quite low, it’s not easy, but it’s not impossible either.”

“So you’re saying that Hogwarts exists after all?” Gwen asked rather excitedly.

“In a sense.” Grodd hummed. “The multiverse is a concept about which we know frighteningly little, right now, you cannot go there, in the future? Who knows, maybe your brain could solve it, little Gwen.”

“Yeah… I’ll study hard! So I can go to Hogwarts!” Gwen exclaimed. But then, she leaned on Helios, and whispered to him. “Do you know what he’s talking about?”

Helios shrugged as he munched on popcorn. “No idea.”

Grodd chuckled as he heard what Gwen was saying, and the three of them continued to watch the movie in front of them.

Helios and Gwen were now walking besides the pathwalk as they just bought ice cream for themselves. Helios bought the chocolate flavoured one as usual, and Gwen bought the strawberry flavoured one.

“What do you want to do after this?” Gwen asked curiously as she ate her ice cream. “I’m bored…”

“I’m going home…” Helios murmured. “I need to paint the figures… I haven’t finished it yet…”

“Can I help?” Gwen’s eyes sparkled.

“No Gweny… last time you tried to paint my figures you coloured it like it was a rainbow…”

“But it looks cute with rainbows!”

“Still no.”

“Fine.” Gwen pouted cutely. “Can I still come though?”

“It’s almost curfew though.” said Helios casually, making Gwen huff in annoyance.

“You don’t want to be friends with me anymore…” said Gwen, acting hurt.

“Nope, not going to work this time.” Helios said as he licked his ice cream, and Gwen huffs once more as her tricks didn’t work on him anymore. “Besides, I thought you said you want to stay with your mom often?”

“Oh yeah!” Gwen exclaimed. “Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow, I’ll come to your house for homework, bye!” she said, bolting off, leaving Helios alone.

“When is it about homework…” Helios murmured, eating his ice cream until the cone was empty.

As Helios came home, he entered the house quickly and ran towards his room, where he grabbed his painting kit and unpainted figures, before running downstairs again, towards the living room, where he continued his painting there.

“Helios, you should take a shower first, dinner’s almost ready.” his mom shouted from the kitchen.

“I’m not hungry!” Theo shouted.

“Helios…” his mom murmured menacingly.

“But mom~”

“Shower first!”

“Fine…” Helios grumbled. He quickly ran towards his room once more, took some clothes, and ran to the bathroom. He quickly showered, and went back to the living room where his painting kit was.

“Alright Helios, dinner time.” his mom shouted again.

Helios groaned in annoyance as he walked towards the dining table. Pluto and Thena are already there, with food on the table. He quickly took some of that food, and put it on his plate.

“Hey what’s the rush buddy?” Pluto questioned curiously.

“I’m almost finished painting the figures.” he said, munching on the food quickly.

“Really? Is that all you care about?” Pluto chuckled as he ate his food slowly. He turned on his television, where the news played in the background.

The news prompter displayed the title: “DUEL OF MONACO” 

“Tony Stark was attacked by an unknown individual at the circuit de monaco in Monte Carlo, it is unclear on what’s the motive of the attacker, but Tony Stark was able to barely defend against the man with his Iron Man suit, people now questioned the trustworthiness of Stark about his promise to protect the people of America, when he himself barely come out of the situation alive. The unknown individual also possessed the Arc Reactor technology which was supposedly invented by the late Howard Stark, and perfected by his son Tony Stark, there are a lot of unanswered questions within this incident, how does this unknown individual get a hold of Stark technology? Stark Industries CEO, Virginia Potts, has not issued a statement on this fact.”

“Looks like Uncle Tony got into trouble again…” Helios murmured.

“Eh, he’s fine.” Pluto shrugged. “He’s an adult, or so he says.”

“We both know this is going to end in a disaster, love.” said Thena with a frown. “Helios, I think you should stop going to the Expo from now on.”

“What?! What about Miss Hansen’s presentation?!” Helios exclaimed. “And the ice cream there is great! I don’t want to miss this all year…”

“He’s fine darling, he can handle himself.” Pluto chuckled, but Helios had a bad feeling about this… “But… just to be sure… next summer, double the training.”

Thena hummed. “Good idea…”

Helios gulped as he heard, he suddenly regretted saying anything…
