The sun peeked from behind the clouds to brighten his room. My Dad woke up to get ready for work. He went into the kitchen. Minutes after that he made both our breakfast and drinks on the counter.

" Good morning Kid," he told me.

I replied to them " Morning Dad .

Our apartments and house are now alive and noisy. Captain America puts together our lunches in bags with our names on it. My hot chocolate is mixed and handed to me. This is copied by the other teammates. Within minutes our meal is ready to eat.

Breakfast is promptly served at 7:45 am California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat in our assigned seats at the tables. We ate together like one big happy family. Soon after eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks.

The team grabbed their belongings that morning. Later on, They locked our front doors. All of them went to our cars and trucks. Our apartments and houses are now left vacant. They head to our missions that morning.

Hondo drove us to work. Minutes after that he puts away his food in the kitchen and then changes in the locker room. The guys did the same greeting with each other. Later on, they meet up with us.

"Good morning Dreamer," Captain America greeted.

" Morning Captain America and Peanut gallery," I replied.

They gave me kisses on my cheek.

Within seconds all of us head to the briefing room. I am sitting at my usual computer listening. They are talking about their mission. Assignments are handed out that morning. My family says goodbye on the way out the door. I watched them leave that morning.

Black Betty is nice and full. The guys were all in regular places. Conversations are going on throughout the truck. Jokes are cracked and laughter is loud. Luca pulls into their crime scene.

Meanwhile back over at headquarters with the three of us working. Greetings are exchanged as she hands me a com and a tablet. Minutes after that she hands him on also. Eventually it changed to mission stuff. Of course, Commander Hicks also greeted us.

Black Betty is now full of cops that are sweaty. It is parked in front of the building. They took their quick showers. A short debrief is made. My family, as usual, rushed me with hugs and a 👊.

Lunch is promptly served at 12:00 pm California time. Everyone took out our food from the fridge. The team sat in our assigned seats at the tables. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we threw away the trash in the bin.

Before the team resumes their work that evening. Luca slowly puts all the pieces together. The team knows minus Captain America. Your back is hurting you again. It took you long enough to figure it out.

I am working on my school work for the rest of the time. Nora is in the hallway.

" We need you to check out our little sister at some point," They told her.

"Just send me your address. Okay I'll come by this weekend," Nora replied.

Everyone grabbed our stuff. We exchanged greetings to each other. Hybrid Mike are the only ones that didn't say anything. There's an extra five minutes of talking. Our headquarters and parking lot is now a 👻 town.

Captain America, like always, drove us home. We put down our stuff by the door. I took a quick bath to change. Meanwhile in our kitchen with Luca cooking our dinner. He took out the place settings to put them on the counter. Seconds later I set the table.

Dinner is promptly served at 6:00 pm California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. Our usual drinks were beers for the grown ups and juice for the kids. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks.

We broke up into our usual boys vs girls groups. Our sisters and girls cleared the tables. I wiped down every surface with a rag. Annie unpacked the dishwasher. The guys washed the dishes to refill it with the wet ones. Every kitchen is now clean.

Family time continues in front of the tv. We shared our favorite tv shows with the group. I walked over to our room in order to change into my jammies and brush my teeth. Later on, I returned to the family room. I am nice and comfy.

" Good night Bros," I told them.

"Night Sis," they answered.

Duke follows behind me. There's a short bathroom break. I climbed into bed. Simba is in my arms. Counting sunglasses time begins right now. Seconds later I am sleeping.

The team is still up watching tv. Laughter is slowly dying down now. Our tv sets and family room lights are turned off. They went to their own bedrooms. Everyone else joins us in dreamland that night.
