Little Palace

"Any other questions?" Said, Theodore

"Yeah, what else have you built?" Asked Tony

"Here put this on" Said Theodore as he flung a wristwatch over to Tony.

Catching the watch and looking at its simple looking design, he joked "I won't get electrocuted, right?"

"Nah just try it," Said Theodore patiently

He buckles the leather strap and waits to look for some sort of advanced technology to make its appearance.

Yet nothing came he just looked back at Theodore with a confused look and said "What exactly am I looking at?"

"Daisy, apply 0.1G's to Tony," Said Theodore

G is the measurement for gravity. Earths gravity is 9.8 m/s² a sudden increase in gravity can cause a lot of strain but Tony is used to it as he travels at unprecedented speed in his suite.

Tony felt a sudden increase in his weight but not enough to restrain his movements.

"What's its limit, and use?" Asked Tony seriously

"It only goes up to 100 G's. Its main use is for training. My limit currently is at 500G's by the way" Said, Theodore lightly

"Cough you can't be serious," Said Tony

"Very serious. Here all of you take one each. Oh and don't bother tinkering with it as I will know. The watch will apply more force when your body is ready. Steve and Thor will be starting with something that suits their strength" Said, Theodore, making a gravity watch appear on the tables

"You just conveniently have extra of these?" Asked Steve sensing something amiss.

"Truthfully I want you guys to be stronger. The stronger you guys are the less I have to get involved. Meaning more time to enjoy life with the kids. I'll be helping a few promising heroes and so on," Said, Theodore

"You can make us stronger?" Asked Jennifer

"Well, yes and no. For them yes for you and your cousin not so much. I can teach some martial arts which will make you stronger even in human form but you and your cousin's strength is different" Said Theodore

"How so?" Asked Jennifer

"Well, you know how anger turns you into She-Hulk," Said Theodore

"Yeah" replied Jennifer

"The same applies to your strength. The angrier you get the stronger you get. Realistically speaking your strength is limitless," Said Theodore

"T-That's...." Stuttered Jennifer in pure shock before Theodore continued "Crazy I know but heck we have mutants, aliens and God's among us it's not that crazy"

Tony speculated his claim and said, "Surely there's a limit?"

"Not for them. The world is filled with beings that break every scientific law we have discovered" Said Theodore simply causing silence to fall on their little chat.

Seeing their reaction Theodore changed the subject and said with an uplifting tone "Enough about work. Who wants a caramel toffee cake with vanilla ice cream?"

"Me!!" Shouted Everyone

Next Day

It was a new day for the family of three. Normally it would be just another day to train and entertain the kids but today is different.

Today is the official opening of Little Palace. He woke up extra early to personally wipe down tables, the counter, the windows and mop the floors till everything was sparkling.

He made some baked goods and left them in the oven. At 06:30 am the girls woke up with excitement coursing through there veins.

For breakfast, they had Mushroom hash with poached eggs. which contains tomatoes, onions, mushrooms and eggs. Its perfectly fit for two budding children.

After breakfast, Chloe and Rose left to clean themselves up.

Rose and Chloe came back wearing purple legging, a long-sleeved bright white top and short jean overalls on top.

They stood by and watched as their dad began preparing the ingredients for later.

After a minute of watching thier dad hard at work, they looked at each and gave an understanding nod.

"Dad!!" Shouted Rose while tugging on Theodore's pants.

Theodore turned back and replied "Yes, Rose"

"We want to help daddy," Said Rose

"Daddy always help us so umm. " Said, Chloe

Crouching down Theodore pulled them into a hug and picked them off the floor.

Giving a kiss to there chubby little faces he said "Hmm I don't know if you're up for the job"

"We can do it, dad!" Said Rose with a determined expression.

"Yeah!" Shouted the usually quite Chloe

"Okay, let's first start with being a waiter" Said Theodore

"But what if its heavy" Said Rose a shocked expression

"Then we can't help" Said Chloe sadly

"It's okay you can use a trolley. I'll even teach how to make brownies and cookies" Said, Theodore is a reassuring tone.

"Yay, snacks," Said, Rose

"No, not our snacks but people who give money," Said Chloe

"Oh" Said Rose with an upset pout before asking with an enlightened expression "Dad can I have money"

Theodore shook his head and said "Its fine you can make snacks for yourself. Just remember to not overwork yourself"

Theodore then taught them about the table numbers and gave them a tablet with the menu in picture form on it.

Theodore had Daisy quickly make a short kitchen trolley that balanced itself and was easy to manoeuvre.

"Come on, Chloe push me" Said Rose as she climbs on top of the kitchen trolley.

"You'll fall Rose" Said Chloe while holding the trolley in place

"I won't I promise" Said Rose convincingly

"O-Okay" Said Chloe before pushing the trolley with Rose on top.

Just as they picked up some wind Theodore made them appear in his arms "Didn't I say no dangerous stunts"

"I was like really, really close to going super fast" Said Rose with a sad pout

"You nearly got your selves hurt" Said Theodore with a scolding tone.

"Sorry" Said Chloe and Rose

Theodore then forgave them and had them use the cookie cutter to make different shapes.

At 07:00 am it was finally opening time. They looked at the "Open" and "Closed" sign that hung on the door and flipped it around to show that they were open.

"The Little Palace is officially ready for business," Said Theodore as he ruffled the girl's hair

"Hmm. . . Dad, where is everyone?" Asked Chloe with a sad tone

"Daddy is the worlds best cook so where is the money people," Said Rose with her arms crossed

"We just opened so of course, no one knows us. And remember kids its customer not money people, okay?" Said, Theodore

"Okay," Said The girls with a nod

A few minutes passed and still no customers. They sat on a table near the door just watching potential customers passing by.

*Ding*

The ding noise came from freshly baked cookies needing to be taken out. It was also at the ding that Theodore had an idea.

He quickly ran into the kitchen and whipped up a steamy hot cup of coffee.

He covered the cup of coffee making sure that the scent did not escape. He opened the front door and gently waved his hand over the cup.

From the cup, an intense smell of morning energy drifted through the air and caused the noses many to flare in shock before feeling a slight boost in vigour.

A second later a small group of coffee-loving strangers crowd around the front door with an eager look on their faces.

"Ooo money pe. .customers, " Said Rose excitedly almost calling them money people again

"Welcome to Little Palace," Said Theodore with a welcoming smile

"Welcome," Said The girls in unison
