The sun peeked from behind the clouds to brighten his room. Hondo woke up to get ready for work. Later on, he is making breakfast over at the stove. Coffee like usual is smelling the kitchen.
" Good morning Baby girl," he told me.
" Morning Hondo," I replied to him.
Our apartments and house 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 servd 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 us went to our cars and trucks. Our apartments and house are now left vacant. We head to our missions that morning.
Hondo pulls into his spot at work. Both of us went inside the building together. Minutes after that I put the lunches in our fridge. Before doing that he took out the treasured file. He did the same thing with our stuff in his locker.
They head to the briefing room. Captain Cortez, Commander Hicks, and Rocker joined them. Here's the all too important information we'll use on the undercover case. Let's talk about the task at hand. Assignments are handed out for that morning.
Meanwhile I am hanging out with Dr. Wendy. She is surprised to see me. Hondo got the information from my sister yesterday. I don't exactly know what the policy is around here with victims being in on the case. Yeah, it's safer for you to be up here with me.
Black Betty is on the way to the mission.
"Usually by now we would have seen T," They assured each other.
She turned down looking at the file last night. Baby girl is fine she just didn't went to be in the room.
" I will talk to her when we get back later," my brother told them.
Moments after that Captain Cortez is working. I am in there with her soon. The remainder of 20 David looking at the corner of this morning. I am always standing there listening to the briefing. Street was about to come find you.
I am here to help you. Captain Cortez asked if I needed anything. Of course, a SWAT manual. Just light reading to learn the policies around here. Don't need it right away.
The pair of us looked at the screens together. My com is in and ready to go. Both the team and Captain are hearing me. This call lasted about an hour. All our information is up on the screens.
Black Betty is full of tired and sweaty cops. It's parked soon at headquarters. They head to the showers. Later on, all of them hunt me down for hugs. A death stare from Captain America sent a slight shiver down my spine. He's about to use my government issued name.
Lunch time approached at 12:00 pm. Everyone took out our lunches from the fridge. Conversations are going on throughout our group. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put threw away out trash in the bins.
I took a walk to clear my mind. Within minutes it began to rain hard. Ten minutes passed so the uniform noticed that I haven't came in yet. He came out with an umbrella for fine me. Both of us head back into the building.
The uniform alerted someone on he team. Peggy is waiting by the door with a towel for me. Let's get you into some dry clothes. We found a extra SWAT shirt for you. I put it on thanking her. Captain Cortez left this manual for you.
I walked towards the interrogation room with a notebook and pencil. Once I am settled down began writing in it. Tia Maria came from the open door. My brother took the writing stuff from me. Seconds later he read it threw closed the notebook.
Without looking up to knowledge who it was coming into the room. Captain America tried grabbing the manual that is in front of me. Please leave it where it is. My head is stuck inside of it to hide my tears if they fall. Johnny told me that before I got you this job.
Let's talk now sister. We missed you for briefing this morning. Hence the manual in front of me. Mikey is the only person that's allow to call me my first name. You're the second person to do this. The door is open right now for me to do it to you.
Bates really bothers you. It's not appropriate for me to be in briefing if I am the victim. My brother finds a way to calm me down by putting his hand on my knee under the table. Urgency filled my voice I am still scared. Just hearing my voice in this way triggers a flashback in him.
No one is going to hurt you again on our watch. I can relate to you on some level. During this whole ordeal he could've also raped me. Thank god it was only my wrists. Luca bursts into the room. I finally lifted my head at his arrival.
" Blue Eyes that's the trick to get her to pay attention. I have been here with her for an hour. You came in for two seconds and she looks at you," my brother is pissed.
" Street you're jealous of me," Luca told him.
"Of course, a little her eyes are stuck in the that manual," my brother replied.
The team and I haven't seen you since lunch. You found us now. Seconds later tears began to fall down his face. I moved closer to him.
"Come here brother," I told him.
We sat like that until his tears aren't falling anymore.
Hector's for dinner with me.
"Not tonight Dreamer. I have a thing with Chris ," He told me.
I replied to him " they will have my cupcakes before you arrive there."
You ready to go back to the team. The pair of us hug each other.
I changed into my original t shirt. Everyone grabs our stuff. We exchanged our goodbyes to each other. Luca and Captain America are the only two that didn't say anything. We head outside to our cars and trucks. Of course, we are still talking to each other. Soon headquarters is a ghost town.
Hondo drove us home that afternoon. We put our stuff down by the front door. I went to take a quick bath to change. Meanwhile with Captain America getting ready for their first movie night together. A text message came in on his phone.

I took over in our kitchen for a few minutes. During this time our kitchen table is set. Hondo came in again to stir the pot. Most of the kitchens are smelling good right now. Our meals are in their final minutes on the stoves.
Dinner is promptly at 6:00 pm. Everyone else dished out our food to eat. The team sat in our assigned seats at the table. Captain America and Peggy are sitting on the couch. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we threw away our trash in the bin or put the dirty dishes in our sinks.
We broke up into our usual boys vs girls groups. Our girls and I cleared the tables. As Peggy wiped down every surface with a rag. The guys washed the dishes. Every kitchen is clean now.
Movie time begins for them that night.
"This moive reminds me of SWAT," Peggy told him.
He replied " I know Chris."
Popcorn munching is getting louder. Duke is lying at their feet. Her hand reaches down to pet him.
The credits rolled for their showing.
"He has three more solo movies. All the Avengers movies as well. You in with me Chris," he asked.
She replied," I will blame this on T if she makes me a fan of super hero movies.
Peggy begins cuddle with him.
"Are you staying the night with me," he asked.
" No, Street, I think Luca knows," Peggy replied.
Drive safely and let me know when you get home.
They gave each a long passionate kiss. I like having only Dreamer know about us.
"You just used the nickname that I gave," my big brother told her.
" Of Course, Captain Obvious," she answered him sassy.
Captain America walked her to the door giving her another kiss.
The remainder of the group is watching tv. I say goodnight to Hondo.
"Night Baby girl," he replied leaving a kiss on my cheek.
Seconds after that Luca is home from seeing Jenny. By the way Jenny missed you. They chilled out with Duke.
"Don't bite my head off. I told her about your parents," Luca stated.
" You broke our deal. I wanted to do that myself Buddy," He answered.
This Bates thing is a delicate area for her. Maybe we should put in a system here. Sounds like a good plan. A text came through on his phone.
Chris: Hey you. I am home. goodnight... Love you.
Jimmy: Okay... right back at you
end of texting
The team is still watching tv. Laughter is slowly dying down now. All the tv sets and family room lights are turned off. The team went to their own rooms. Everyone else joins me soon in dreamland that night.
