As the sun peeked from behind the clouds to brighten his room. Daddy woke up to get ready for work. Later on, he is making breakfast over at the stove. Coffee like usual is smelling in the kitchen.
" Good morning Dad." I told him.
" Morning Kid," he replied to him.
Our apartments and houses are now alive and noisy. I put together our lunches in bags with our names on it. My hot chocolate is mixed and handed to me. This is copied also by the other teammates. Minutes after that our meals are ready to eat.
Breakfast is promptly served at 7:45 am. 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 our belongings that morning. Later on, we locked our front doors. All of them went to our cars and trucks. Our apartments and houses are now left vacant. We head to our missions that morning.
Hondo pulls into his spot. We went into the building. I put away our lunches in the fridge. My dad went into the locker room to change. The team arrived one by one. Of course they joined him to change.
"Good morning Dreamer," Captain America greeted.
"Morning Captain America and Peanut Gallery," I replied.
They gave me kisses on my cheeks.
Everyone went into the briefing room. I am standing between Deke and Captain America. All I feel is his hand squeezing mine. The team talks it over with each other. Assignments are handed out. My family left for the mission.
Black Betty is nice and full. The guys and Peggy are in their places. Jokes are cracked and laughter is loud. Luca pulls into the crime scene.
Meanwhile back over at headquarters that morning. Captain Cortez working in the situation room. Within minutes Hicks walks in. Greetings are exchanged between her . Both of them are working hard.
This morning is a little hard on me. I walked into Jessie's office to see if she left anything for me to do. There's a ton of things to be filed left in a folder. I filed it where it needed to be and closed the file cabinet. My phone buzzed in my pocket.

Me: talk to you soon.
End of texting
I put my phone back in the locker.
Black Betty is full of sweaty and tired cops. It is parked in front of the building. They took their quick showers. A short debrief is made. My family, like usual, rushed me with hugs.
Lunch is promptly served at 12:00 pm California time. Everyone took out our food. The team sat in our assigned seats at the tables. Conversations are going on throughout our group. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we threw away our trash in the bins.
I walked to our tech room where I sat on the ground. T doesn't hear this announcement. Our fairy dust already knows.
" We are going to find her," the girls told them.
"No, you guys stay. The Kids want you to hear something," Luca replied.
He begins his search for me in the building.
Luca walks in and sits next to me. He wraps his arm around me. Seconds later I am asleep on his shoulder. Both of us head upstairs to Dr. Wendy's office. She hands him my stuff from her desk drawer.
" When did you get these things," he asked her.
" Juan brought them on Tuesday," the doctor replied.
He stays around at the foot of the couch. Seconds later they are talking to each other. As they enjoy this time as I am sleeping.
Meanwhile back in the kitchen with the rest of the team.
" We have an announcement for you guys?" they told them.
" Okay What it is," the team replied.
We have been dating each other for a few months now. Oh this is why T and Luca are missing because they are the two outside of you that know.
Everyone grabs our stuff from the locker room. We exchanged our goodbyes to each mm
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 ghost town.
Luca drove us home that afternoon. We put down our stuff by the door. I went to take my bath to change. Meanwhile back in the kitchen with Luca cooking our dinner. As Captain America sets our table. Seconds later Duke came running out of our room.
Minutes after that Captain America walks into the bathroom. As the water turns off he wraps me in my towel to wipe me off and dress me. The pair of us went into the kitchen. I just sat down in my seat. Duke is by my feet.
Dinner is promptly served at 6:00 pm California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. Our usual drinks are 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. Chris and Tan cleared the tables. I wiped down every surface with a rag. The guys washed the dishes. 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 to change into my jammies and brush my teeth. Later on, I returned to both our couch and my favorite spot. I am nice and cozy.
" Goodnight guys," I told them.
" Night sis," they replied.
Duke follows me into our room. There's a quick bathroom break. I jumped into the bed. Simba is already in my arms. Counting sunglasses time begins right now. I am fast asleep.
The guys are drinking beers together. I found my Dreamer in the shower when we came home. She was just staring into nowhere. Yeah, I know it also happened at headquarters earlier.
" How did the teams take your news?" His roommate asked.
" Good... they were just a little surprised," Captain America replied.
Captain America finished getting changed for bed. He wraps his arms around my body. Seconds later I cuddled into his side. The last thing I heard before he closed his 👀 " I love you my Dreamer." I reached back to ruffle his hair.
Meanwhile back in the family rooms with the team still watching tv. As the laughter is dying down slowly now. Our tv sets and family room lights are turned off. The team went to their own bedrooms. Everyone else joins us in dreamland that night.
