Past + Present = Glasses?

Steve woke up by the scent of fresh coffee and tea and bacon. He frowned, then eased as he remembered that his sister was living with him.

She was always a morning person.

He rolled over and out of bed, but stumbled as he forgot that he still had broken ribs and an injured leg. Groaning slightly, he grabbed a pair of jeans and struggled into it. Followed by a army green top, covering up the bruised torso and made his way towards the kitchen.

He stopped and leaned against the door frame to watch his sister cook.

She was wearing brown male boxers, a white loose tank top… probably his and was moving gracefully despite having been shot in the hip 7 days ago. Suddenly she turned around, obviously feeling eyes on her.

"Morning" she said with a smile and that beautiful hoarse voice.

"Morning" he replied as he limped towards the table and carefully sat down. He eyed the food on the table and smiled when he saw fresh orange juice on the table and ketchup. "How long have you been up to make all this?" he asked as he grabbed the orange juice.

"Since five, habit I guess. You feeling ok?" she asked concerned as she divided the bacon and eggs on both plates.

"Yeah, just a bit sore. You seem to be moving just fine." Steve mentioned.

"Yeah, well. Ran some, did some pushups… went for a little surf although my old board is way too short." Aeron said with a chuckle. "so, I'm already warmed up. Besides it was just a flesh wound."

Steve rolled his eyes. "Right. So, you sure you wanna be part of the team, for real?" he asked curious as he dug into his breakfast.

"I wouldn't mind staying, if that's what you're asking. With my case closed, I don't really have the urge to continue, you know? Lately there hasn't been some real action, ever since Qatar…"

Steve looked up and interfered. "Qatar? You took the mission in Qatar?"

Aeron put her fork down and stared Steve in the eye, before looking down at her coffee.

"I did, a friend of mine was killed there." She stopped for a second, wanting to continue the story but obviously not ready for it. So she continued. "Of course I had to sign for the whole four years, but I had no choice… I couldn't leave it" Aeron said.

"Who was killed?" Steve asked.

"Damon… Damon Paress. He was my garrison's technician." Aeron said with a sigh. "A good SEAL, known him forever. He just turned father, a boy Keyn. I was asked to my his godmother. He was close, to me."

"I'm sorry. I didn't know"

"It's ok. We need to recap the last, what has it been 8 years, since we last saw each other?" Aeron asked with a sad smile.

"Yeah, eight. Well anyways, you haven't forgotten how I like my eggs or that I love fresh OJ in the morning" Steve said with a chuckle.

"No I haven't, all though I'm missing something at this morning ritual…" Aeron said with a chuckle.

"What? You've got coffee, I've got tea… we've got bacon and eggs, OJ… I don't miss anything." Steve said, calling up the 'aneurysm face' as he was thinking.

Aeron chuckled. "The glasses, you only wore them in the morning and evenings. I liked them…"

"Glasses? Oh, I haven't worn those since ever. Only used them when I have a headache. I just put in the contacts before I go to work. I don't mind the blurriness in the morning. It's not like I can't see anything… and I know this house from the inside out, I won't be bumping into things."

"Yeah, but you should wear them before your eyes are ruined." Aeron said strictly.

"I will, mom." Steve said sarcastically with a soft smile.

Aeron rolled her eyes. "So, what time are we suppose to be at work?"

"At 9, why?" Steve asked as he took a bite of his toast.

"Because clock just turned 10…" Aeron said with a smirk on her face.

"Oh, shit!" Steve said as he scrambled away from the table.

"Don't worry. I already called all of them, telling them to be at the office at noon." Aeron said with a chuckle.

"Meany!"


"I thought the Camaro was yours?" Aeron asked as she was driving Steve's pick-up.

"No, it's Danny's. I just like driving it." Steve said with a smile.

"Aha, you never were one to drive pick-ups." Aeron mentioned.

"No, it's just for now. I'm trying to fix dad's Mercury, but it's hard getting decent parts." Steve said as he watched from the passenger's seat how Aeron suddenly frowned.

"You're fixing the Mercury? I thought that Dad had brought it to a salvage yard?" Aeron asked curiously.

"He was going to, but I was home for a while a few years back and I was able to change his mind, we fixed it up somewhat, but we're never able to finish it." Steve said.

"Why were you home?" Aeron asked confused, not coming up with any reason why Steve would've been home.

"I broke my leg. Had to have surgery. I was in the hospital for a week, got a cast from hip to toe for about 2 months and after that a leg brace for 4 months and then 3 months getting back into shape." Steve said, absently massaging his leg.

"Wow, it got all better?" Aeron asked as she noticed her brother fidgeting.

"Yeah, it only aches when it's cold or rains or when I overdo it, but you know, Hawaii never really gets cold or rain and an ache for overdoing is something I can live with." Steve said.

"You must've gone mad." Aeron asked with a chuckle.

"Oh, you have no idea. Especially in the hospital. But as soon as I was able to move somewhat on crutches… it was doable, with Dad and the Mercury… although he didn't let me go near it if he wasn't around." Steve said with a chuckle.

"What'd you do when he was at work?" Aeron asked.

"I studied some languages."

"As in plural? You already knew, what? Spanish, French, Hawaiian and Latin… what'd you pick up?" Aeron asked curiously.

"Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Iranian and German" Steve summarized.

"Wow, impressive. I can top you though…" Aeron said with a smirk.

"Top me?"

"Yeah, besides the four be both knew once. I know Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hungarian, Dutch and sign language."

"SEALs are meant to know sign language" Steve said, irritated that his sister was almost surpassing him at everything.

"No, the actual ASL (American Sign Language)" Aeron said proudly.

Steve pulled up the aneurysm face. "Why'd you wanna learn that?"

"Mission prior to Qatar, there was a bomb… I was too close, lost my hearing, obviously not permanent, but I was 73% deaf for about 3 months, after that it slowly got better and now I'm fully operational again." Aeron said with a smile that turned into a wince as she took in Steve's angry expression.

"They still let you stay, with deafness?" Steve asked angry.

"No field work; just dogwatches and cleaning decks. Worse year ever… I think that was also a reason why I took Qatar, had to get back in."

"I can rely, as soon as I was back to shape after the leg-incident… couldn't wait to sign up for the first, best thing that came a-knocking" Steve said with a smile, remembering that exact moment.

"A-knockin'? Really?" Aeron asked with a chuckle.

"Yeah, land makes me soft…" Steve said, which made Aeron laugh as they drove on.


When they arrived at the office, they were oddly the first ones to arrive.

"You're lucky, we still got an office room left open. Now five-0 has five members." Steve said as he gave Aeron a key to the office.

"Thanks. Although it's not official yet. Governor Jameson has to clear me out of the SEALs first, just like she did with you." Aeron said.

"She'll pull it off. If someone knows how to get her way, it's her." Steve said as he sat down behind his own desk.

"So what exactly is it that you do. Task force… meaning you have no limits. But Oahu, as I can remember, is quite the safe island."

"Well, a lot has changed since we we're here. Lemme tell you. There's a reason I chose my partners. Danny, because he's new to Hawaii and has a different eye on everything. Chin, cause he's got the Intel, and Kono also because she's new, but grew up here, she knows the inns and outs as well." Steve said.

"So, what changed?" Aeron asked.

"Seems like Hawaii has caught up with the big cities. Drugs, illegal shipping, gangs… all that crap. The governor set up a task force to prevent the change.

"I can remember feeling so safe here, suddenly that's vanishing slowly."

"Well, we'll make it safe again." Steve said.


15 minutes later…

"Guys! Where were you?" Steve asked as he saw his teammates walking in.

"I'm not allowed to drive yet, so I asked Kono and Chin to pick me up. But ran into some problems with Rachel of course. So they had to wait for it to be settled." Danny said as he took in, Aeron. "Hey! You brought your sis with." he said with a smile.

"Yeah, Aeron here is unofficially a member of 5-0" Steve said.

"Why, unofficially?" Chin asked.

"She's gotta be cleared first at the SEALs. The governor already did that for me when I got here, but she was brought here on call, so we'll have to wait to make it official." Steve said.

"Well then, let's clear out the office so you can settle." Kono said, happy that there was going to be another female in the team. There was just too much testosterone in the team.


AN: Yes, for those who are curious. There will be some Steve with glasses somewhere (I found a cute picture of Alex and I just couldn't resist)

MORE TO COME, REAL SOON!

And remember Mr. Button down here! Lemme know what you think! ^^
