Chapter 4 Continuation

When i reach my room and close the door,and sit on my chair that faces the table. I start to think about the encounter with logan ,my being in this world and which universe i am in , as i began to think about my comic knowledge, ' I admit i only know MCU, TV series and some x-men movies, and cartoons, heck i am not a cartoon so i can rule the x-men evolution out i think ."no" i can't make assumptions for all i know this is a new universe all together with me being here, and that begs to question how did i even get here, at first i thought i just reincarnated with my memories of my past life being lucky but in light of the recent events 'mainly me being in marvel universe' just shoves my theory, it looks more and more like in those fanfiction i read back on earth and it's giving me a headache '.

I was inturrepted from my speculation by the knock on my door, " james, can i come in ."came susan's voice, i respond in affirmatiion thankfull for the escape from my spiralling thought , the door opens and susan comes in, she is a woman in her mid 30's with a solemn look, she could pass as a very stern teacher in a school , but she has been nothing but kind and patient with me for the time i have known her. she looks towards me" James, the bath is drawn" she pauses , for a second i wonder what's all this about she looks kind a sad but determined and continues after i say ok " jimmy in all the time i have been here you have been the heart and soul of this house, and i appreciate that you have been a good boy, since the time i have known you.", i interrupt her " why are you saying it like that ?" with this new development i put the previous thought for later and give my full attention to my caretaker.

Susan looked at me as if planting my face in her memory and said" I'am leaving tommorow jimmy, with my contract fullfilled, i must return to my home now, i have already extended my stay a year for you being a nice lad and beacuse of your mother's ....condition" i knew what she was talking about my mother elizabeth being insane and all ,susan was the one who took care of me mostly food and some basic needs of a child . I hug her to show my appreciation for all she had done and we share a quite movement which she breaks and leaves after a kiss on my cheek" Farewell james, may we meet again, and take care of yourself after i am gone alright.", she will miss me , she doesn't say it but her eyes were red and so were mine because i knew that this will be the last time i see her.

i said after she backs up a bit "Googbye susan i wil miss you" she nods and leaves the room , leaving me to my lonesome, sometimes i wish i could also up and leave, it gets tiring to play a child, i sigh and move form my chair towards the bath.

In the bath i look at myself my five year old body and i can't say i like or dislike it on one hand i have a good looking face, nice hair but on the other hand my body is thin for a five year old, "i should start doing some yoga, from my previous life's experience it have some great benefits towards blood circulation and flexibility." i say to myself discision made i step in the tub, after cleaning myself up and in my room again i have some time before dinner and susan leaves for tommorow and then i will on my own for a while our house now consist of me , and some house hold workers my father should return soon too.

As for elizabeth, she was admitted for some psychic evalution centre but when i asked anyone about it they just told me she went to visit some of her folks , yeah they are fooling no one, i heard the gossip of the cook and the cleaner through a hidden compartment and they spoke about her in the passing whispers but i heard it. Apparently my ears are better than most .

So in my room i took a spare blanket from the closet spread it on the floor like a mat and start from the basics of 'asana', it's amazing how flexible a young body is though i would not try the difficult ones. i start with 'pranayama asana' basic breathing exercise, in which crossed leg both feet on my thighs, deep but slow breaths.

I did three more 'asana' and some exercise, when i heard my father's voice downstairs," looks like he came early". I fold the blanket/mat that i was sitting on. Standing with a little wobbling, i chuckle " this is the effect of starting in yoga ." i clench and unclench my hands, maybe some push ups are also needed, putting the blanket away i head downstairs feeling good from the impromptu yoga session.

I see john looking well dressed like he always does, he looks my way and smiles and said " Jimmy how was your day"and before i replied, he continue ," meet this boy he is the son of our gatekeeper logan he will keep you company when you go play, come boy." he motions towards the table on the other side and only now i noticed a boy little taller than me in height wearing full sleeved shirt and black pants he was looking at me with wonder and a little apprehensiveness? as if i was a rare thing and said "hello my name is dog."

I keep looking at him in my mind i made a connection ' if this guy is son of logan than he must be my half brother' i look towards my father and he nods towards me as if saying i should introduce myself ,so i did " James , you can call me jimmy." he smiles and looks towards john seeing no reaction from him he relaxes, this little thing i observed it was weird but i couldn't understand why he did that. My father puts his hand on my shoulder and said " i will see you at dinner jimmy,"he leaves towards his room leaving me with a smiling dog no pun intended,

I sighed and thought 'this confirms i am not in the wolverine movie at least and i remember the name dog logan from the comics. a thought for later'. I turn towards the boy who was looking eagerly towards me with wry smile, i looked him over "so you are 'dog', huh".
