The team awoke to find that breakfast was cooked and on the kitchen bar; Lee tapped his commander's shoulders when he saw a light coming from the workroom. Everybody grew curious as they approached then room with hesitancy. Barney had his hand at the ready to shoot any intruder, but he was in udder shock when he the bright red fishtail braid hard at work on the computer, "damn..look at that. She is a stubborn woman." Lee stated with a laugh.

"She is, and I'm damn proud of her." the voice of their only missing member relaxing in the corner of the room, eating a bowl of food, "might wanna take a look at what she's found." He pointed his fork at the stack of papers on the table. Barney raised a brow; his stomach growling lowly at the smell of the food, but he was more curious about the information. As he started to reach to look through them, "they are in chronological order from earliest to now.", the thick accent made everybody snap toward the woman who was now facing them.

"Riley has gone to search the local bar he does his deals out of; she should be back in a few hours, and she has a locater on as well as an ear piece to stay in contact." Romy stated in a monotone; the men started to look at the work " the man whose rather failing attempt to kill me is a common thug Reggie Gracey. He is Omar lesser targeted henchman and clearly the dumbest."

"What is all of this?" Toll Road asked

"Financial records, local deals commonly sold weapons in the past two years of his name being known throughout our world. Quite useful." She turned back to the computer and shut it down as the last pages printed, " here is what you want. The best time to do your mission is two days from now. He will be meeting a local artillery creators; my name being on his wish list will attend. I am allowed on companion; being that I am dealing with rather dangerous men. Riley is needed to be where she is strongest. Gunnar will accompany inside while the rest wait for the best time to do your kill shot."

Barney cocked a brow at the Romanian genius. He had just woken up and was impressed at the info she had acquired in short amount of time, " seems like we have a plan."

Gunnar chuckled at how behind they were, and he couldn't help but find his teams shock and impressive looks funny. He stood and went tho place his bowl in the sink, returning with a cup of coffee. Romy took it from him with a small smile before taking a sip; she waited for more comments or question. When none came, she returned to her seat to relax from her busy morning, " since everybody is agreement or just going with the flow, I would like to finish my coffee in peace. Feel free to take the papers and do as you please." Barney took his leave, heading straight for the food with the files in hand. Gunnar was the only one who didn't leave right away. He kissed her head before heading back to the kitchen.

The team were enjoying food and conversing over how she managed all if this in such a short time period. Lee looked over at the blonde with questionable eyes, "little girl been clinging to you little too much for a stranger."

"So?"

Barney knew where this was heading; he was waiting a fight, "so, why? Why is it you are the only one who can make the tech in there crack a smile or show emotion?"

"Mind as we'll air it out right; I have nothing to hide, but it is a need to know." Gunnar answered making eye contact. The rest of team were now curious, "we need to know." Toll snapped

"Tell them, Gunnar. No need to go crazy." Barney grumbled.

The Swedish man growled but followed orders to keep the place quiet for the slumbering child and the relaxing woman, " the little girl has a name; Nila. She is my daughter. Had a one night stand with Romy, getting her pregnant and here we are."

"You hit that..wait is that the virgin you were drooling over.." Caesar exclaimed with a low voice; his blonde bangs feel in his face as he nodded, "damn.."

The men now couldn't believe what was unraveling. Barney Ross had gotten him a small emotional lover, and the ugliest and biggest member got a hot redhead pregnant and is rekindling the relationship once more, "this is not something to use as teasing material." Barney added sternly, "Romy is still human, and will not be judged for who she is attracted to."

Agreements were made not only on the plan, her information, but her love affair with the ugly giant, who brandished a crooked smirk, the adult conversation was interrupted by soft footsteps. Gunnar's attention was turned to the eye rubbing girl entering the room, dragging her animal, "morning, daddy.." she mumbled.

"Want food? Your momma cooked." he returned; she have her answer by snatching the toast she could reach off the counter, " now I see it..." Lee whispered, watching the little girl approach the refrigerator and took the already made up cup. Her morning attitude was Gunnar Jensen reincarnated. Barney couldn't help but laugh at the girl as she climbed into the man's lap eating her toast quietly, staring into the workroom where she saw her mother leaning back, "momma okay?"

"Yea,kid, just taking time for herself. " he answered, " you want more then toast?" Nila shook her head no as she continued her breakfast. Her stomach growling when she finished made Gunnar look down at her; she bashfully reanswered with a nod. He put down in his seat, fixed her a small plate, and returned to pick her back up; she ate as if she was starved.

"The girl got a hole for a stomach!" Caesar laughed; Nila blushed and set her fork down, " na..continue. Just never seen a little girl with a big appetite."

"Gets it from her father no doubt." Yang added, "hopefully just the eyes and food is all she got." Making everybody laugh. Gunnar frowned.

"Hey, I am not that bad."

"Yea, your about as cuddly as a thorn bush." Toll countered, "no, daddy, soft and warm. Not that word." Her small voice battled. Barney couldn't hold back his laugh; the men had met their match. A five year old had managed to make all five men shut their traps and rethink what they were going to say.
