Taming The Family

26. Gucci Mom

Sera's P.O.V.

My fingers twisted through my short hair until it was succefully pinned against my head. "This will be fun!" I cheered, turning around with a grin on my lips. My husband adjusted his leather shirt and raised one eyebrow. "How so?"

I laced my fingers together and shimmied slightly. "Well this is our first family fight! The kids have never actually gone on a mission before and they get to learn with their aunts and uncles." Loki took a step closer and hooked his arm around my elbow. "You do realize we have no blood relation to these people?"

I played with the sleeve of my old mission suit and shrugged. "Sometimes the best family you have is made up of the people that aren't your family at all." Something distant and pained flickered in his green eyes but it was soon masked over with his dark façade. 

We walked down the halls of the compound in a comfortable silence. Once we got to the briefing room, we took a seat around the large glass table. Tori and Steve were on opposite ends at the head of the table. Sam and Scott sat next to Steve while Sofia and Levi were seated next to Tori. 

My children were dressed in all black suits with different colored highlights depending on their powers. All the girls in the room had their hair braided or pinned behind their heads while the guy's hair was free to do whatever it pleased. Everyone in the room was pretty much matching, and Sofia would have matched me exactly if it weren't for the blue spirals she adorned.

Tony was at the head of the room leaning against the screen while Brooke and Peter were sitting across from me and Loki. "Alright, children, listen up." Tony demanded. 

He pulled the orange glasses on his face down to the end of his nose and tapped the screen three times. A 3D image appeared and he began his instructions. "So this is our bad guy. He goes by the name of Ben Dover." Levi and Scott both chuckled at the name. Tony sent them a glare and they cleared their throats. 

I rolled my eyes at the boys and studied the man on the screen. He looked to be middle aged but had hardly any hair on his head. He wore tan pants and his muscles were bulging out of the white T-shirt that stretched around his chest. 

"Over the past few months, Ben has been organizing multiple strings of robberies and we normally leave that to the police expect we just found out he has connections in the underground market and has gotten his hands on Chitauri technology." Tony explained, spinning multiple images on the screen. 

"What's the plan, old man?" Tori sang with a smirk on her face. Tony narrowed his eyes at her before speaking. "Ben is out getting more toys tonight so that leaves his base of operations vulnerable. We're going to be split up into 4 groups. Group 1 will stay on the roof in case of emergency and track anything that goes in and out of this building." We all took note of the building's frame work and basic structure. 

"Group 2 is our bait. 2 people are going to go up to the front door and cause a huge scene and get themselves caught. Group 3 is going to go undercover as henchman to make sure group 2 doesn't kill themselves. While all this is happening, group 4 is going to sneak inside and get their hands on anything that will tell us who his supplier is and why there's still this kind of tech on the streets." Tony finished. 

I raised my hand like I was a child waiting to ask a question. Tony flicked everything on the screen away and pointed at me. "Yes, Mrs. Hazeldine."

I flashed a smile. "Who's in what team?" The iconic sarcastic smile graced Tony's lips. "Brooke, Sofia, and Peter, you are group 1. Sera and Loki, you are group 2. Sam and Scott, you are in group 3. And Tori, Steve, and Levi are group 4." The billionaire clapped his hands together. "Questions?"
