Hello everyone! Sorry it took awhile to post this chapter. I was trying to figure out how to end this chapter and it became a little difficult, but it's finally here. Sorry to keep you guys waiting. So, Desmond is not going to appear towards the end of the story. I have other plans for him. I am going to have him appear in the next installment of the series, but I want to focus on Seraphina first then I'll bring Desmond back again. So the next installment, I was thinking a Marvel movie or another movie or TV series? Which one do you want to see next?

1. Arrow Season 1

2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier

3. The Amazing Spider-Man

Those are the three that I can think of. If any of you guys think of something else, let me know in the review comment area or cast your vote to the three choice I have right up there. This story is almost coming to an end. I'm really excited you guys. I cannot wait to see how you guys will react. Okay enough of me talking. Time to read.

I do not own any of the Fast and Furious characters! Nor Desmond from the Assassin's Creed series! NOR do I own any of the Marvel characters! I only own Seraphina Gamora Ortiz!

Enjoy!

Chapter 10: This Is Family

Seraphina Ortiz's POV

"How are feeling today?" I grunted incoherence at Rogers and rubbed my tired crusted eyes with the back of my hand. Last night felt like a blur, but it all came back in an instant when I woke up in the early morning. The sun wasn't even up yet. I remembered I started to silently cry so no one could hear me, but I felt someone wrap their arms around me and lay my head their lap and their fingers gently comb through my hair. I knew it wasn't Mia. So, it had to have been Giselle. She's the only other woman here. She gave me comfort, but she wasn't the only one up. Captain Rogers sat next to Giselle and started to tell me some of his war stories to try and get me to smile or laugh. I guess it worked because I fell right back to sleep. Half of the day is gone and I'm still in my gray sweatpants and in one of Brian's t-shirts that doesn't fit me well. I'm just happy I remembered to put on my regular shoes before I walked out of here.

"Bite me Rogers." I mumbled out as I sat in the chair next to him and leaned my arms on the table so I could rest my head on them. I heard him chuckle and put his arm around my shoulders. I groaned and rolled my head over to look at Rogers who's smiling down at me. I flipped him off and muttered a 'fuck you' at him. He chuckled at me with a smile on his face and shook his head. "What's everyone been doing today and why didn't you wake me up?" I asked Rogers and he shrugged his shoulders.

"Nothing really. Mia went out to get some food for us so she went to the market, Tej are keeping an eye out for Hobbs and his team. Giselle is cleaning her gun while Roman and Brian are talking about cars and Dom and Han are looking over the plans again. So, it's been a lay low kind of day." I tiredly nodded and let out a sigh.

"Where's Barton?" My voice kind of cracked when I asked Rogers and he pointed up to the ceiling.

"Getting a bird's eye view." I raised my eyebrow at him and slightly glanced up. "He's outside." I nodded, but then looked back at Rogers.

"Did you say Mia went to the market?" I asked and Rogers nodded. "Did she go by herself?" Rogers sighed and grabbed his beer.

"She said she can take care of herself." He said and I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Mia threatened you, didn't she?" Rogers didn't even try to deny it and started to fidget in his seat.

"Yeah," He nervously took a sip of his beer and I scoffed at him. He glared at me and shook his head. I laid my head back down on my arms as my eyes started to close, but I noticed something new. I looked over on the other side where Dom and Han where and saw four new cars that labeled police on the side. I raised eyebrows and looked at Rogers. He must have noticed my look and put his beer bottle down on the table. "When Han was practicing on the track last night, he was close, but it wasn't enough. Camera still caught him. So, Han had pointed out that the window is too small and that there had to be a better way to get pass the cameras. So, Dom suggested they take a ride only they all went into the van and come back late last night with not only one, but four police cars." Rogers explained as I scrunched up my eyebrows and slowly nodded.

"That actually might work better than the cars we were going to use." Rogers nodded and took another sip of his beer. I started to look around and saw Brian working on one of the police car's tire until he looked up and his expression turned into anger. I followed his gaze and saw Mia and what appears to be an old friend. A smile broke out on my face and I sprang from my seat. Brian immediately got up and charged towards Vince, but Mia stopped him and told him it was okay. I ignored the two and ran towards Vince. He saw me, a smile grace his lips and opened his arms. I launched myself at him, felt his arms wrapped around me and spun me around. I wrapped my arms around his neck and heard him laugh loudly.

"Ah, baby girl." Vince held me close to him and kissed the top of my head. "It's been so long." I nodded against his chest and let out a sigh. "I thought we lost you too." I chuckled with a smile on my face and pulled away from him to look at him.

"You can't get rid of me that easily." I told him and he just lightly laughed it off. We both turned towards Mia and Brian who looked a little skeptical at Vince, but Dom's voice rang in the factory.

"You hungry?" We all looked over at Dom and Han who glimpsed up at Vince then went back to looking at the plans. Dom didn't even have to look up when Vince answer him back while Mia, Brian and Roman exchanged looks with each other. I still had the stupid smile on my face and could care less when I started jumping on the ball of my feet.

"Yeah, sure." Vince said and Dom still didn't look up.

"Good." Dom finally looked over at Vince and us. "Because you're saying grace." I let out a squeak and lunged at Vince once again. He chuckled and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. Brian took a step towards Vince and held out his hand. Vince then reached out and shook Brian's hand.

"Thanks, Vince." He said. I looked up at Vince who nodded and Brian gave him a smile. I grabbed Vince hand that was on my shoulder and started pulling him away from Mia, Brian and Roman.

"I want you to meet someone." I told him and started to pull him towards Rogers. The smile on my face never left. A few hours have gone by, everyone had a beer in their hand. Clint finally came inside and put his bow and the rest of his stuff away with mine in another room of the factory. Tego and Rico, well, it's more like burning our food on the grill, Giselle sat near the table with Rogers having a conversation and cleaning her guns, Vince stepped away to help Dom work on a car while Brian and Mia were sitting near the laptop watching everyone have a good time. Hans and Tej were sitting on the couch while Roman was sitting on a stool and started to have a conversation. I came over and sat in the middle of Hans and Tej while I took a sip of my beer.

"So, we in Brazil. It's the good life." He said and Tej nodded.

Yeah." Tej said while Hans and I nodded in agreement. Brazil is nice this time of year, but then again, I haven't had a vacation in a long time because of the life style I choose, but that's on me. I can't really blame anyone, but myself.

"So, you got a little more than $10 or $11 million coming. What you going to do with your money?" Roman asked and I looked at Tej as well as Han. He raised his eyebrows at Roman.

"Me?" He said and Roman nodded. Both me and Han waited for Tej to answer. He thought about and sighed. "Actually, man, I been thinking about opening up a garage back home." Tej said. "Place where people can bring their cars and not get completely ripped off. You know what I mean?" He said and I couldn't help, but agree. Most car garage rip off their customers with the price of their repairs. It's unfair and taking advantage of their customers. It's a good idea.

"Really?" Roman asked with a confused expression on his face. Tej nodded at his idea.

"Yeah." Tej answered.

"So, your dream is to start a day job?" My eyebrows furrowed together and I took another sip of my beer while listening to Roman's nonsense. "That's stupid. Like, why would," Tej shook his head and interrupted Roman before he could finish his sentence.

"No, it's not stupid at all. I love what I do." I reach out and patted Tej shoulder and gave him a big smile.

"Good for you Tej. I know a lot of people would appreciate you giving them a fair price for fixing up their cars." I told him and he smiled back at me. Tej wrapped his arm around my shoulders, pulled me close to him and gave me a hug.

"I like this girl." Tej said and I burst out laughing. Han gave us slightly grin and Roman shook his head.

"I don't know, man. That don't make no sense to me." I chuckled a little at Roman and shook my head. "So, what about you Sera? What are you going to do with your money sweetheart?" Roman asked me and I shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't really know." I answered honestly. "I've never really thought about it." It's the truth. At first, I was gonna use the money to finally get off the grid with Desmond, but now I don't know what I want. Ever since we heard about Coulson's death, I've been slowly spiraling out of control. In a good kind of way. I've finally understand what Letty was trying to do, I've come to peace with Brian, and Clint and Rogers are here to help in any way they can and it's the first time I've seen them since the Manhattan attacks. All of this started to make me think or rethink about my decision of going off the grid. I glanced at Roman then Tej then Han. I gave them a somber smile and stared at the beer bottle in my hands. "Home." I said. I took a sip of my beer and sighed. "A place where I can call home." I glanced at Tej who nodded and Han who gave me a look of sympathy. I sighed and stared at the beer in my hands again. Roman got up from his seat and asked us if anyone needed another around. Tej, Hans and I both shook our heads and Roman walked away. Just thinking about something to call home made me think of all the memories of me and Letty. A lone tear tracked down my cheek and I sniffed a little.

"Home." I glanced at Han. "A place to call home." I nodded at Han and wiped the tear away with my finger.

"I'm tired of running. Tired of having to look over my shoulders. I guess I'm tired of the way I've been living." I looked at Han with my glistened tears in my eyes. "Even though, I'll be giving up on everything I worked so hard for, but I know it will be the right decision." I calmly said and Han nodded while taking a sip of his beer.

"Then we'll help you find a place to call home." Han said.

"Yeah, your one of us now." Tej said. "You can count on us." He said and I chuckled while I mustered up a smile. I blinked the tears away and got up from my seat to stretch my legs.

"Are you serious right now?" Roman shouted out and we all looked towards Brian and Mia who were laughing a little while Roman looked over towards Dom and Vince who were just walking in to join the rest of us. "Is that the reason you let him beat you in the quarter-mile?" Roman laughed as everyone started to come over and congrats Brian and Mia. I furrowed my eyebrows together and felt someone walk up to me. I saw it was Rogers and wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

"Mia's pregnant." My eyes slightly widened and smile stretched across my face. I beamed at them with happiness and wrapped my arm around Rogers waist. He led me towards them and moved myself away from Rogers so I could give Mia a hug. She pulled me into a hug while Brian and Roman continued to argue.

"That was a baby gift." Roman happily said.

"No, that's messed up." Mia and I both burst out laughing while Brian wrapped both of his arms around me and Mia's shoulders and pulled us close to him. "No, you're not taking that from me." He said while Tej walked up to join in on the conversation.

"Wait, wait, hold on a second." All three of us looked at Tej who smirked. "So, did he just smack the ass or did he grab and hold on to it?" We all started to burst out laughing while Brian tried to hide his face behind Mia's head. "Which one was it?" Tej asked and Brian just shook his head with a smile as everyone else came over and gave congratulations to Mia and Brian. I saw Dom hold up his beer bottle and called out a toast. We all held up our beer bottles.

"Toast." We all gathered around in one big circle as Dom made one of his famous speech.

"Money will come and go. We know that." I felt Brian's arm wrap around my shoulders and brought me closer to him and Mia. She looped her arms around mine and leaned her head against my shoulder. "But the most important thing in life will always be the people in this room. Right here." We all slightly nodded. I really do wish Desmond was here. If he wasn't back in three days then that means he found something that could lead to the remaining Templars that were connected to Reyes. Meaning he probably won't be coming back. "Right now." A lone tear ran down my cheek as Dom held up his beer bottle. "To family." He said in Italian and we all raised our bottles and said, 'to family' in Italian too. I took a sip of my beer and ignored the tear running down my cheek. I felt Brian kiss the top of my head and Mia gently kissed my cheek. Dom looked at us with a smile full of love and happiness, but I know he's still hurting because of Letty. I don't blame him. I do miss Desmond, but I know what he's doing is for the greater good. I don't want to lose him.

"Seraphina." I looked up at Rogers who expressed his worry for me. I gave him a smile and nodded. The laughter of everyone else snapped me out of my worry thoughts. I could see their happiness in their eyes, the excitement buzzing in the air. We are less than 24 hours of our lives change. The money I need to find a place to call home. I don't know how I will get Desmond's share to him, but I know he'll let me know when he's coming back. I am both excited and afraid. Excited because it will change our lives and afraid because if one thing goes wrong then we'll either be dead or captured by Hobbs and his team. But we'll get through this. We always do, but it's different this time. We'll just have to see.
