The Beginnings of a New Life

"Wahhhhh" Is the only sound heard coming from the New York Presbyterian Hospital's delivery room.

"It's a boy!" The wet nurse exclaims holding up the baby so the exhausted mother could have a look before it gets cleaned up.

"It's a boy honey, just like I said it would be. What should we name him?" The husband replies, slightly rubbing his hand that may be broken from his wife's grip.

"Jack, after your grandfather who helped us get to where we are today" the woman replied.

"Perfect." He murmurs.

———-1 YEAR TIME SKIP———-

A little boy can be seen peeking his head around the door to his room before slowly walks down the corridor in a vain attempt to reach his father's study.

"Jack! I see you. Come here my babbyyyyyyy" Jack's mother yells while gliding over and picking him up. "You are such a cheeky boy for your age hehe. Lets move you back to your room."

"Nooo...." Jack whispers, trying to struggle free from his mothers hug, as he gets taken against his will into the room of boredom.

Once his mother leaves, Jack gets to thinking.

(I have been in this world for just under a year now and I have yet to start developing my powers. Maybe once I reach my birthday they will awaken? During this time I have been trying to gather as much infomstion about the world as possible. It is currently the year 2000 which leaves me 12 years before the Chitori invade.

Thomas Hargrove is my father. I have taken most of my looks from him with my big brown eyes and black hair. However, my parents say that my facial borders and nose come from my mother, Lily Hargrove. Over the past year I have come to meet several people in our family. I even got to meet Otto Octavius as he is apparently my uncle, so I will try and stop him from destroying himself. My birthday should be coming up in a few days so I will just try and relax until then.)

—————-

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!" The family shouts at Jack picking him up and hugging me tight.

"Thanks mama" Jack replies in delight as he always loved birthdays. "Do I get presentsss?" He says, looking up at them with twinkling baby eyes.

"Yes son you have plenty of presents. Lets go into the lounge room to open them" My father replies, guiding Jack by the hand into the godly present keeping room across the hall.

Thomas notices his son almost jumps in delight seeing the wrapped presents over in the corner. He can help but smirk to himself. "Go on then. Open away" He whispers to Jack.

Upon hearing this Jack bolts over to the corner and rips open the box closest to him in joy.

"Wahhhhhh Captain America figurines. You are the beat Daddddd!!!" Jack replies after opening up the last of his birthday presents. His father always new he loves the stories of superheroes and Captain America specifically, which can be especially seen as he has posters all over his bedroom wall even at the age of 1.

"I am going to take these to my room" Jack exclaims, picking up as much as he can while he shuffles out. A glint in his eye as he heads off to try and find his powers under the disguise of playing with toys.

(Wow, that was fun. Didnt realise how much I missed birthday presents. That is really embarrassing seeing as I should be mentally 20 years old however I believe being a kid causes me to release my emotions subconsciously. Well now that I am alone lets see about my powers), Jack thinks to himself.

Jack crosses his legs as best he can while shifting his body he tries to get comfortable.

(Ok lets relax Jack. Can you feel anything different about yourself?)

As Jack is closing his eyes in contemplation he doesnt realise that a ray of sunlight started streaking across his room bouncing off the shiny toy shield of his Captain America figurine and landing on his body. He jolts and he feels as change in his body. A little bit more strength, stamina and speed. His senses all increase being able to feel all thats within half a metre of his body. He opens his eyes and immediately notices an ant in the carpet of his room.

"Woah" Jack exclaims feeling the new found powers that have started to manifest within his body.

"I can't seem to feel or know how to use Ban's snatch ability. Maybe it hasnt manifested yet for some reason? My vision has improved immensely however I am not able to see anything beyond the walls of my house, which is expected in these esrly stages. I can feel something really faint just above my stomach which I am not sure what it could be related to. I cant seem to grab onto it or do anything with it so let's leave it for now. I have more important things to do." He whispers to himself

"Jack honey lets go get some breakfast" His mother Lily exclaims from down the hallway.

"Coming mum" He replies, getting up from his position and waddling over to the smell of croissants. (Wow, I can smell it so strongly from here. Going to make it harder to keep myelf from being hungry if I always smell when someone is eating...) He thinks to himself as he walks out his bedroom and turns down the hallway.

"Ahhh" His mother screams as he walks into the kitchen. "Honey, your eyes, what happened to them? Are you alright? Does it hurt anywhere? Thomas get in here right now!!!!"

"What do you mean mama?" Jack replies cocking his head to the side in confusion and thought. (Maybe it is due to Heimdall's powers I got? Only thing that I can think of)

"Here follow me into the bathroom." She says as she drags him to the closest mirror.

"Oh wow, they really did change" Jack cant help but say in shock. His eyes which used to be big and brown now have a golden flare surrounding his iris. (It reminds me of those solar eclipses I used to see on the news back in my old world. It looks awesome though) He cant help but think to himself.

"Woah son you look so cool" His father cant help but comment upon seeing his son's eyes in the reflection. "If you dont feel any different about your vision then I am sure it is fine. It must have just been a eye colour change that happens all the time in babies. I think?" His father says after some thought, trying to lessen his wife's worry over her son.

"If you say so honey.... Jack let me know if anything happens again alright? I dont want you to lose your sight or anything" Lily says, looking at her son in a very serious manner.

"I will mom, let's go and enjoy the croissants before they go cold!" Jack replies, running off to the kitchen in a hurry.

"Stay safe honey" She cant help but whisper to nobody in particular as she follows him out.
