DOCTOR STRANGE

Somewhere in Japan

"So you want to go to America to wish Ren on his first birthday? At least we can meet Salvatore's. You've met them before. We can make an excuse. I have something to give Ren." The man suggested.

"We can do that. It won't be suspicious of them. What is it that you want to give Ren?"

"This stone. My great grandfather made it with the blood of vulture, a female fox, pika, and leopard. This stone contains the energy, it helps to contain our powers so we can live a normal life just like a normal human. We can give this to Ren, at least he can live a normal life. We can think something about Hiro later." The woman said.

"Okay then let's go to America first. I'll ask Yamazaki to tell Salvatore's that we will come to see Ren's new home." The man answered convinced for her plan.

"Honey, do you need anything else for Ren's birthday party? I know that you know I am arranging a birthday party for him. And since you know why don't we arrange it together." John said to Mary.

"So you knew. I thought my acting was kinda good. Where do you plan to have it? I saw some brochures but I don't know which one you confirmed." Mary replied.

"The Westin hotel seems the best to me. It is close to here so we can check the arrangements. And you liked the food there." John told Mary.

"Okay, sounds good. Have you thought of any guests? Many of our friends and relatives still don't know about Ren." Mary replied.

"Yeah, I wanted to discuss his with you. I've ordered my secretary to look for some invitation card designs for Ren's birthday. She will send me the design, we can finalize form it. I think it is a good idea to call our friends and family they should meet Ren." John told Mary.

"Okay, we can do that. But actually there is something I want to tell you. I know it might sound weird. And I wasn't sure if that was normal or not but I think you should know too." Mary said.

"Why do you sound so serious? Are you okay?" John asked concerned.

"Yeah, I find. This is about Ren."

"Tell me what it is." John asked again.

"Yesterday I went to a toy store, me and Ren I mean. We were looking for some balls. He was playing with balls but then I saw that he threw the ball against the floor and caught it with his one hand. I don't think a year old kid could do that. Don't you think that's kinda strange?" Mary was confused with was she saw.

"Are you sure you saw him? Cause I don't think that is possible. He's too young for that." John asked.

"I wasn't sure myself but then he did it again. Do you think something is wrong with him?" Concern was evident on her face.

"I think you are just being paranoid. I getting late, let's talk about this later. Okay?" John said unconvinced.

"Hmm, bye, she replied.
