She'd never thought much about family before. It didn't seem to apply to her. She had her gear, her safehouses, her accounts full of money. For the longest time, she thought that was all she needed.

Then they came along. It was just supposed to be a job. In and out and she didn't learn their names.

But they worked together, and better, they worked. They connected and they held, like the straps of a harness keeping her safe in the air. She learned much more than their names, then. She learned them. With them, she knew she could fly.

Notes: I think Bear should get a puppuccino, frankly.

The sencha order is second nature. John adds a coffee for himself. Shaw's a carnivore, so John gets her pastrami on rye: double mustard, no mayo. Minestrone, because Root may be the avatar of a god, but she's been living on airline peanuts this week.

"Dog muffin?" The server has recognised him. That's bad, but Bear loves those muffins. John kids himself bran is good for dogs and adds one to the collection. No puppuccino, though; he's got limits.

"Okay!" says the server. "There's the whole family fed."

John starts at the word, but she's right. This is his family.
