"Inessa, can you take table 10's order, please?" I say to her as I walk past her to put table 7's order on the line. "I can, yes". "Thank you" I brew the coffee for table 7. I grab two cups and pour the made coffee into them. "Four blueberry pancakes!" Nicholas shouts from the kitchen. "Coming!" I shout back, putting the two cups of coffee on the tray. I grab the two plates of blueberry pancakes.

I walk over to table 5 and give them their pancakes. "Thank you" The child waves his fork in the air as I walk to table 7. I can already tell that area is going to need cleaning. "Here are your coffees" I smile at the couple seated at table 7. "Thank you" They smile back. "Are you guys ready to order? Or will that be all?" Knowing most people only come here for coffee. "Can I get the Buttermilk Cakes with strawberry slices on top?" The woman looks up from her menu. "Can I get the Eggs Benedict?". The two hand me their menus, "Your food will be here shortly".

I walk to the kitchen and put their order on the line. We're not as busy this morning, we normally aren't unless it's the weekends. I walk to the door to sit behind the desk, waiting for the next customer to walk in. "Table 7's food is ready" Nicholas's voice is calm in the earpiece. "Got it". All of the staff have earpieces so when we are out of earshot we can communicate with one another, especially in emergencies. We also have an upstairs but that's for the heroes. We serve breakfast from 6 a.m. through 11:30 a.m., our all-day menu is from 12 p.m. through 7:30 p.m., and bar hours are 8 p.m. through 11 p.m.

I grab table 7's order and place it on their table with an "Enjoy". I grab the cleaning supplies and go to table 5. I put the dishes in the bin and the napkins in the smaller bin. I grab the cleaner and spray the table, wipe it down. I sweep under and around the table. Messy child.

I bring the dirty dishes and napkins to the cleaners. "Y/n...!" Inessa takes a hold of my arms. "Yes?" I raise an eyebrow. "It's pro hero Deku!" She whisper yells. "Go take his order!" my coworker pushes me out of the kitchen door into the lobby. Inessa doesn't take the pro heroes' orders anymore, not after she spilled coffee on former pro hero Midnight. Nicholas doesn't come out of the kitchen.

I walk toward Deku, noticing it wasn't only him. It was a big group of heroes. "Good morning, welcome to 3 Point, I'm Y/n and I'll be your waitress this afternoon. Please follow me" I smile at him and his group and head for the stairs. I hear their feet shuffle behind me as we walk up to the second story. "Sit where you'd like" I gesture to all the empty seats. "Are you sure?" Deku hesitates. "Yes, the upstairs is for heroes only. Due to the news reporters in the past, 3 Point had to add a second story. This door will be locked for safety" I lock the door. Yes, that seems creepy to do but it's for their safety. "Thank God, I'm getting tired of all those damn reporters getting in my way..." Dynamite groans.

They all take their seats. Deku, Shoto, Uravity, Froppy, and Ingenium sit at one table. Dynamite, Red Riot, Pinky, Earphone Jack, and Chargebolt sit at another table. I head over to Dynamite's table. "What drinks would you all like?" I bring out my notepad.

"Black Coffee" Earphone Jack opens her menu.

"Fucking nasty... An Irish Coffee for me".

"I'll have a Mocha!" Red Riot and Pinky smile. They share a small chuckle. "Get a room..." Dynamite groans.

"I'll get an Affogato" Chargebolt gives me a thumbs up.

I finish writing down their drinks and smile at them. I rip out the paper and put it on the counter for me to look at. I walk to Deku's table to get their orders. "Ready?"

"Oh, yes! I'll have a Café Au Lait!" Uravity smiles.

"Flat White for me, Miss," Ingenium nods.

"I'll get a Red Eye, please, and thank you" Shoto nods. How sweet.
