9:24 am, Morning

Penny's POV

I was up early, like always, training with my powers for two hours. When I saw it was already past 9 am, I decided to stop and head to the kitchen to start cooking everyone breakfast. It's mostly Lexi or Ace who cooks, but if I'm up training early in the morning, I cook breakfast... which has been the case for the whole week now. I don't mind, though; I do enjoy cooking. I was humming a song while flipping pancakes. I finished the pancakes after a bit of time, placing two pancakes on each plate, but five for Slam since he eats more than the others. Then I added scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausages just in case. I just finished placing all the plates on the big round table, along with toast and empty cups for each spot. As I was pouring the last cup of orange juice, everyone started walking in, rubbing the sleep from their eyes and yawning, but they stopped mid-yawn.

I stood at the table holding the big gallon of juice in my hands, smiling shyly at them. "Morning~ I made everyone breakfast. Come sit before it gets cold," I ushered them to come sit, as I placed the orange juice in the middle of the table and then sat down in my chair.

They all scrambled to get to their seats. I tried to hold back a laugh when Ace sat down in the seat beside Lexi, pushing Duck aside. Lexi saw it happen and giggled, while Ace smirked in victory. Slam, of course, got his seat on Lexi's other side, and Rev quickly sat down in the chair between Duck and me on my left side. Tech smiled at me, and I smiled back, feeling my muzzle grow hot. Why does my heart react this way around Tech? I pushed those thoughts aside as he sat down in the chair on my right side.

"Wow, you outdid yourself yet again, Pen! How many times have you made us breakfast?" Ace said with his mouth full of pancake. Lexi wrinkled her nose and smacked his arm.

"Ow! What gives, Lex?" he whined after swallowing his food, rubbing his arm and pouting at the glare Lexi was giving him.

"Don't talk with your mouth full, mister! It's rude!" She scowled but looked away to hide the red on her pink muzzle when Ace winked at her.

"Thanks, Ace, but to answer your question, it's been the whole week I've been cooking everyone breakfast. And don't worry! I enjoy it. I also enjoy cooking after training with my powers for two hours," I said with a shy smile.

I started eating my breakfast. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder on my right side, where Tech was sitting. I swallowed my food and turned my head to look at him.

"Yes, Tech?"

He scratched behind his head sheepishly. "After we eat breakfast, do you want to help me with the new project I've been trying to get working? It keeps failing."

My eyes lit up, and I smiled brightly. "I don't mind at all."

What anyone didn't notice was Rev watching and listening with a frown, looking down with a silent sigh, and continuing to eat his food.

Tech's Lab

After breakfast, Tech and I headed to his lab. He showed me his latest creation—a new gun designed to paralyze the enemy with electricity without causing harm. However, he couldn't seem to make it work, often turning himself into a pile of ash when he tried using electricity by hand. We examined the small gun, which had a pointy end where the electricity was supposed to come out.
