Chapter 21 - Small Jungle (2/2)

Then it was the left hand.

”You put your whole self in

You take your whole self out

You put your whole self in

You do the hokey pokey

And you turn yourself around

That's what it's all about”

The image of two toddlers and two tigers following the song perfectly left everyone, including myself to be dumbfounded. Even though the S.H.I.EL.D agents have seen a lot of things but they've never seen two kids teach tigers the hokey pokey.

'Okay now I'm certain Rose might have an ability that makes animals friendly and smart'

”Hey Dad do you want to play” Said Rose excitedly

”No, it's fine but try not to get yourself dirty as we'll be having dinner soon,” I said

”Okay daddy I won't get dirty” Said Rose

”Mommy, grandpa, grandma come to play,” Said Chloe while hugging Tee

”Hey Sonya can you save the security footage of them playing to the family album,” I said quickly as I really wanted to immortalise the moment.

”Already done it,” Said, Sonya smugly from my phone.

”Thanks,” I said

I then felt someone poke my side and say ”Umm can I go pet the tigers”

I look to my left and see Jennifer stare at the Tigers with an enthusiastic face. I nod, to which she bolted at Momma Tee and began petting, hugging and rub her cheeks on its fur.

”Bad Aunty, you have to ask to play” Said Rose while trying to pry Jennifer off Momma Tee.

Jennifer's face turned red with shame knowing that she unknowingly just stole from a child. She then pleaded ”Sorry, Rose can I hug Momma Tee just a little bit more”

”Okay Aunty can hug but only a little bit,” Said Rose with her arms crossed

I then look back at Natasha and Clint to see them give a tired sigh. This led me to believe that this wasn't the first time and so I asked ”Is this a common occurrence?”

”You have no idea,” Said Clint tiredly

Getting my answer I look back at the Heart family and say ”See, they can longer be considered wild”

They blankly nod at my words while still looking at their daughter/granddaughter play innocently with the baby tiger.

Charlotte then came out of it and asked ”Can I also get a copy of their little dance”

”Yeah sure, Hey Sonya can you send her the same footage,” I said

”Yeah sure,” Said Sonya

Then the Heart families phone made a loud notification sound. Pulling out their phones they saw a video was sent to them.

”Wow, that was fast. Who is Sonya by the way?” Asked Sarah like a nosy mother in law

Hearing Sarah's question Natasha's ears perked up. I noticed but didn't care much and honestly said ”She an A.I that I built”

Saying that I show them my phone that now showed Sonya waving her hand with a pleasant smile ”Hi I'm Sonya”

Natasha was taken back as she was now understanding that I'm not only strong but I might also be a genius.

”Can you guys do me a favour and not talk about what you saw today to anyone else?” I said sincerely

To my surprise The Heart family agreed, I'm surprised because Derek firmly said he wouldn't tell anyone. I then thought about it a bit and realised it because he understood my reason as a father. I know Natasha was gonna report it back to S.H.I.E.L.D but they won't tell anyone else as they like to keep everything for themselves.

We then head back down to the forefront where I took the S.H.I.E.L.D agents orders.
