A/N: Spawn alert!

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!" Kaya exclaimed, trying to maneuver the pot of chocobo noodle soup into a position that wouldn't burn her hands. "Brycie, open the door! This stuff is hot!"

Her older cousin scanned his eyes and opened the door while Paulo took the pot from Kaya, trying to give the girl a reprieve from the heat of the container. She gave him a thankful smile, causing the brown-eyed boy to blush slightly. The five kids filtered into the apartment, Azrael kneeling down to scratch Axel's ears. The red-furred canine wagged his tail, bright green eyes letting them know they were welcome.

Paulo took the chocobo noodle soup into the kitchen and set it on the bar top, Axys setting the bag full of crackers, a bottle of 6up and a single flower along side it. Azrael nodded and went to wash his hands. "Okay, Guys," he said. "Let get to work."

Kaya jumped up onto the counter and grabbed a bowl from the cabinet, handing it down to Bryce who took it to fill it with the still steaming soup. She then grabbed a plate and gave it to Axys and a glass to Paulo. Axys took the plate and opened up a package of crackers, arranging them on the dish and setting them on the tray Azrael had found. Paulo took the glass and filled it with crushed ice from the door of the freezer, pouring the 6up inside and setting a straw in it. Azrael found a vase and filled it with water, cutting the flower to fit inside. A spoon and napkin were set on the tray and the rest of the dishes were arranged neatly.

"Good job, everyone," Bryce praised. "Now, let's see how the invalid is."

"Someone's been studying his vocabulary this summer," Axys teased, nudging him playfully.

Bryce blushed. "Dad insists I learn a new word everyday," he admitted with a grin. "Not that I mind. It just means I'll remain mentally superior to those Cretans we attend school with."

Azrael laughed and grabbed the tray, carrying it out the kitchen and down the hall of the apartment. "Prez, you would think you were better than them anyway," he commented. "It's a ShinRa thing."

Bryce scowled. "What's that supposed to mean...General?" he asked in challenge.

Azrael turned slightly and smirked. "It's the name," he told him. "Never mind. Let's just get this stuff to Andi."

The silver haired boy continued on, Axys and Kaya in tow. Paulo placed his hand on Bryce's shoulder and gave him a gentle smile. "He didn't mean anything by it," he reassured him.

Bryce looked at the dark haired boy and nodded slightly. "Let's check on Andi."

The other three had stopped at Andria's bedroom door and Axys was gently opening it. "Andi?" she said softly.

Andria opened her eyes and rolled over in her bed, smiling weakly at her friends. "Hey, Guys," she whispered. She cleared her throat and sat up a bit. "What are you doing here?"

The red-headed girl bounced into the room and climbed to her usual spot on the top bunk, hanging upside down and looking at her friend, her long red hair making a sort of curtain around the ill girl. "We've come to take care of you!" she answered cheerfully.

"Yeah," Paulo added. "Since your mom and Rude have to work, Dad gave us an assignment."

"Operation: Chocobo Noodle Soup!" Kaya giggled as Azrael sat the tray across Andria's lap.

"We're supposed to stay here and keep you company," Bryce explained, pulling up her desk chair and taking a seat.

Azrael sat down beside Andria on the bed, while Kaya and Paulo claimed the black and purple bean bags in the corner, pulling them to the side of the bed. "How are you feeling?" the silver haired boy asked.

"A little better," Andria answered. "This sucks, though. I don't want you all to get it."

"I had a flu shot," Bryce told her. "I'm good."

"Herbal stuff," Kaya said.

"Same here," added Paulo with a smile.

"I have too much Mako from Dad to get sick," Azrael explained.

"I wanna get sick!" Axys giggled. "Daddy gets me more stuff when I puke."

"That's gross, Ax," Andria said with a soft laugh. She reached for the spoon and took a tentative bite of the soup, closing her eyes as it trickled down her throat. "This is good, Guys. Thanks."

"Kaya made it," Paulo told her.

"Mommy helped," the little girl said, blushing slightly when Paulo smiled at her.

"It's really good," Andria said taking another bite. She took a sip of the 6up. "Thanks for coming, you guys."

Kaya jumped up from her seat and reached into her pocket, taking out a little bottle of pills. She shook one out and handed it to Andria. "Here, take this," she said. Andria gave her a skeptical look but took the pill from her anyway. "It's not medicine. It's an herbal vitamin with a ton of good stuff to make you better fast."

"Really?" Andria asked, looking at the little capsule. "You sure?"

"Positive," the little exorcist promised. "Uncle Renzo said he learned about it from the Druids and taught it to Mommy. That's what I take everyday to keep me from getting sick. Damian, too."

"Where is Damian?" Andria asked, taking the vitamin. "And Nate?"

"Damian is actually out with Daddy getting some things from the weapons shop," Kaya told her.

"And N.C. has turned Nate into her servant boy," Bryce added. "He keeps doing what she tells him because she keeps promising to take him on another mission."

"Poor guy," Azrael laughed.

"Yeah, well at least he got to go on a mission," Axys grumbled. "Dad won't let me. Says it's too dangerous."

"Yeah, so does Mom," Azrael agreed. "Though I do get to train with Revan a lot."

"Mom's been teaching me some more exorcist stuff," Kaya piped up.

Paulo nodded. "Dad won't let me out on any real missions either," he said. "But he is letting me read some of the old mission reports. Did you know that on Kailani's first mission, she shoved a rubber duck filled with WD-40 up a guys butt and lit it, making it a bomb?"

"EW!" Axys exclaimed falling into hysterical laughter. "That's gross!"

"You know why he was a target?"

Everyone shook their heads. Paulo grinned. "Because your dad," he continued, pointing at Axys. "Wrote a fanfic and the guy flamed him."

Bryce laughed. "They offed a guy for that?" he said. "Cool."

"Gods, we are so desensitized," Andria commented, shaking her head. She had finished her soup and was now nibbling on her crackers. "Guys, thanks so much for coming over. This is making me feel so much better."

"Don't feel like puking?" Azrael asked, playfully tickling her toes under her covers.

Andria pulled her foot away and giggled. "Not right now," she said. "Hopefully, I'll be able to keep this down."

"Good!" Axys exclaimed. "Then you can come back to Head Quarters. Niki-chan has taught me some cool pranks since she's been back."

"And Mom's not her intended target anymore," Azrael added.

"Who is?" Andria asked.

"Mainly Dad," Paulo said. "And anyone else who she feels like pranking."

"She doesn't discriminate," Bryce said with a grin. "And the things she does with lard is almost...unreal."

Andria laughed and leaned back against her pillows. "Can't wait," she said with a satisfied smile.


A/N: Not much. Just a little Turk Spawn cuteness bonding thing. And I sense some rivalry between Bryce and Azrael. Which is to be expected since Bryce likes Axys and she likes Azrael. Reviews are loved!
