Murdock woke at exactly four-thirty seven AM then padded into Henry's room to wake up his son.

"Henry." Murdock gently shook his son. "Time to go on that chopper ride."

Henry groaned and then sat up. "Wha' time is it?"

"Four thirty but you've got to wake up bright and early to ride into the sunset." Murdock smiled. "Come on, get your jacket."

Twenty minutes later, Murdock and Henry were in matching bomber jackets, khakis and black converse, donned with an accasinol plaid shirt.

They drove to the airport to find Murdock's own helicopter ready to go, he had called the team to tell them he would be gone all day. Once they were up in the air, Henry would not shut up.

"Whoa!" He cried. "Is it always this high?" He gazed out of the chopper window.

"Always." Murdock slammed the yoke and turned the helicopter upside down.

Henry yelled with joy and grabbed the handle to keep from sliding off the seat. "Where are we going?"

"'cross the boarder!" Murdock said into the headset which him and Henry could hear eachother in.

"This is way better than school!" Henry yelled and leaned forward to look out the front window.

"'course it is!" Murdock said. "Lets land and eat breakfast."

"Where?" Henry asked and put his hands on the bottom of his bomber jacket.

"There's this really nice twenty-four hour cafe down a little while." Murdock pointed to the rising horizon.

"Is there pancakes?" Henry bit his lip and turned the look at his Dad.

"Of course there's pancakes. Almost good as your Mom's." Murdock said and then looked for a ridiculas landing spot to land.

After they hand landed in the parking lot, in a parking space in fact, they ordered their breakfast and sat in an old booth by the window.

"This is the best day ever." Henry bounced up and down in his seat.

"Of course it is. How about after we're done, we got to Papa Hannibals house and he'll tell you all about our missons." Murdock said and reached across the table to grab Henry's hands.

Henry smiled. "Yeah! That would be great!" He let go of his Dad's hands as their order came. "Thank you." He smiled to the waitress.

"Your welcome." She winked at him and walked away.

Henry tore into his pancakes like he had never seen food before. "These are almost as good as Mom's."

Murdock smiled and bit into his eggs. "She makes the best."

They ate their breakfast in a change in coversation, flying and the Vietnam war.

"It was terrible. They hated us." Murdock tried to keep calm as he explained the war. "All of us were emotionally unstable."

"Even Uncle B.A? He seems like a tough guy." Henry asked.

"Even Uncle B.A, he took some lead to the leg. Even on a misson, I took a bullet to the shoulder. Saved Grandpa Hannibal." Murdock swallowed the last of his orange juice.

"Really? That's awesome, you're like a hero!" Henry said as they paid.

Murdock held the door open for his son as they stepped into the parkinglot. "Aw naw, there was a lot better people in 'nam."

"I bet you were the smartest." Henry climbed back into the helicopter.

Murdock grinned and shifted his bomber jacket. "Hannibal is way smarter then me." He started up the engine and rose off the ground.

Henry bounced excitedly in his seat again. "Now are we going across the boarder?"

"Yes! It's gonna be awesome!" Murdock grinned over at his son and realized he didn't have fun like this as a child, but he was determined to make Henry's childhood experince better then his own.

"Do another barrel roll!" Henry pleaded at his father.

"Aw, alright." Murdock frowned but then smiled as he turned the helicopter upside down again.

Henry yelped with joy and an hour later they touched down in Mexico, had lunch, walked around and then flew back because it was getting dark.

"That was fun, Dad." Henry said on the ride back home. "Thanks for taking me."

"Your welcome, son." Murdock grinned and looked over at his son and parked the van in their driveway.

Olivia rushed into Henry's arms the second they stepped through the door. "I missed you." Even though she was two heads shorter, she still squeazed Henry to death.

Henry laughed and hugged his little sister. "I missed you too, Livie."

Murdock smiled and looked past his kids to find his wife waiting with open arms. "C'mere."

Murdock and Kelly rushed at eachother and embraced. "I missed you." Murdock mumbled in Kelly's ear.

"I missed you too Murdock." Kelly wrapped her arms around Murdock's torso and her head meeting his frail shoulders. "Did you guys eat?" She asked when they pulled away.

"We ate at like six Mexican resteraunts." Henry smiled and pulled Olivia into a chair.

Murdock grinned and scratched the back of his neck. "Come on, it's like. Time for bed." He shooed everyone into their beds.

Olivia suddenly raced at him and hugged his legs. "I missed you Daddy." She mumbled.

"I missed you too Bunny." He picked her up and kissed her forehead. "Now go to bed, it's your turn tomarrow. I'm taking you to the zoo."

Olivia's eyes shone, she always loved animals like her mother. "Really? I guess I'll go to bed then." She hugged him one last time before running into her room.

He chuckled and quietly slipped into his bedroom. "I missed you today." He said to his wife after he changed into his pajamas, still the jetsons.

Kelly rolled over and planted a soft kiss on Murdock's tender lips. "I missed you too."

He wrapped his arms around her and turned off the lights. "I'm going to be here for a while, so you better stay here while you can."

And that's how it ended.

*sighs through nose* yeah, that's the end. This story wasn't as popular in the first place and it's very difficult to juggle two stories and school at time and I may post a Face and Amy one later in time but this it for now. I didn't know how far I would get with this one but I got very far, surprizingly. If you like Avengers, I might post a sequel to my Daughter America story except with Anna and Skaar. But anyway, thanks all my Invisible Apples... Love y'all.
