The Progenitor Acquaintance

Hello readers, I have had this idea going around in my head for months, have only just got down to writing it, please read and review, I would love to know if you like the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own any comic book companies, and I certainly don't own The Big Bang Theory.

Sheldon, Leonard, Raj and Howard were at the comic book store, as they did every Wednesday, it was new comic book night after all.

Stuart welcomed them as he always did, informing them in the process that he had recently been to a Dr who look alike competition and came last out of 56 people, he seemed upset by this.

Stuart headed back to behind his counter, Leonard was remarking about the new issue of Green Lantern, prompting a discussion about what they would project if they had a power ring, Sheldon wasn't joining in with the lewd conversation though, he was over by the Justice League of America comics, reveling in the new issue.

A young boy appeared at his side, he must have only been about 3 or 4 years old, he was wearing a Spiderman costume and struggling to look at the comic books.

"Are your hands sticky or clean?" Sheldon asked him

"there clean" the young boy responded, Sheldon got the step that Stuart used to place items at a great height, and put it next to the young boy, he lifted the child onto it.

"thank you sir" said the boy gratefully, he started to flip through the comic books, one by one, taking a while to deduce if it was the one he needed.

"Where did you find that Isaac?" said a woman from over by the t shirts, Sheldon looked at her, she had Bright blue eyes and Black hair that reached her waist, she was wearing a green lantern t shirt and flared jeans, she also didn't have a wedding ring on, Sheldon noticed.

As the little boy resembled her greatly, both in eye and hair color Sheldon concluded that this must be a close relative, she looked too young to be his mother though.

" Mum I need the Justice League of America, the nail, number 2" said Isaac, holding up two fingers as he spoke.

"it's over here" Sheldon said, reaching over and picking up the comic Isaac desired, he handed it to him, earning him a smile and a sincere 'thank you'

"Thank you, I'm Pagan" spoke the woman, holding her hand out to Sheldon.

"Your welcome, I was raised Christian but I no longer believe in a deity" replied Sheldon, hesitantly shaking her hand, this statement caused the woman to laugh, explaining that Pagan was her name, she told him she also didn't believe God exists.

They discussed where their names originated from, Sheldon was named after his grandfather, Pagan was named after the religion and she said that she named her son Isaac after Sir Isaac Newton.

Pagan was looking through the comic books, while her son and Sheldon discussed which was the best supervillian, The Joker or Two Face. they agreed that the Joker was the best as he didn't care about money, he just wanted to be bad, or Naughty as Isaac had so nicely put it.

Stuart was over by the counter, he placed a box upon it, Sheldon and Isaac spotted this, Sheldon wagered Isaac a red Icey that it contained comic books, Isaac said it didn't look heavy, he wagered that it was t shirts.

Sure enough Stuart held up the latest wonder woman t shirt and arranged them in size order at the till point.

Sheldon had hoped this would happen, after all, Pagan wouldn't allow her son to go and get a drink without her.

"well, the better man won I suppose, would you both like to join me for a drink?" Sheldon aimed the question more to Pagan than Isaac.

"There is a park nearby that sells them, we were heading there after this, we'd love to" replied Pagan, picking up her son, they headed over to the counter and made their purchases, Pagan even treated herself to a new Wonder Woman t shirt, they headed out of the store, leaving a shocked Leonard, Howard and Raj in their wake.
