When Michelle entered the meeting room the entire clan turned and looked at her with little surprise that she was late, again.

"Okay, since we're all here, let's get started," said her older brother sitting at the head of the table, dressed in a tailor's suit while drinking whiskey, something worthy of one of those typical godfathers from Tarantino or Coppola movies.

" As you know, our relationship with the other families in the district is going quite well, I recently spoke with the Zhangs and they have informed me that things in their territory have improved considerably, Manhattan is stable " Aaron spoke with his businessman's tone.

" I made sure that we continue to have a good relationship with the Harbours " said his mother, Evelyn " In fact, they even invited me to see the most prosperous restaurant on Staten Island.

" As always " said his other brother, Erik " I was sent to speak with the Johnson twins and they very encouragingly told me that they remain firm to the cause.

His strategist asked " Are they still taking care of the usual ones?

Erik nodded " Yes, to all the religions segregated from Brooklyn by those who believe in "Jesus" " he said the last with all mockery. His mother tapped him on the shoulder and asked for respect.

"I've been checking our part of the district along with my new assistant and we continue to see loyalty from the people of Queens," informed his sister-in-law, Amy.

Michelle, who rarely intervened in the territorial divisions that these types of families had in New York City, said, "So, I guess the Bronx is still a no man's land.

"Emm, no sister, it never has been," Aaron said with a more serious tone than before.

The entire table got into an argument, but it was Evelyn who called to order " I thought the Mejías had retired a long time ago.

Aaron shook his head. "They decided to withdraw from the public eye and leave the country for a while they were going through their worst moments, but they never neglected the Bronx.

"It's interesting to see how you're keeping secrets, dear," said his wife. "What else are you hiding from us?"

The leader of the organization released a small sigh and dropped a sheet in the middle of the table " This letter arrived last night at the main offices of all of us, the leaders.

Michelle took the letter in her hands and read it in a low voice " [...] That is why I announce our return to our territory, I hope they have treated my people well, or else the ones who will pay will be yours neighborhoods"

"Sign, the Mejía"

" So, before we start with the typical questions of 'What is your favorite color?' and all that " Shuri said, looking at the man sitting in front of her.

- What is your favorite color? Namor asked pointedly, making her laugh.

- Is seriously? " Shuri asked amused " Of all the possible questions to start a conversation, did you just have to choose the one I gave as an example?

- Yeah.

He had said that with a half-smile on his face and a carefree tone, little by little she realized that this was his personality, full of energy and playful of hers.
