After her encounter with Eraserhead yesterday Rachel was acting off, her sister made fun of her because of that but she brushed her off. She decided to not be his friend if she wanted this feeling to go away. She was outside the house eating while watching her parents train. Rachel was recovering from her beat down when her father punched her square in the face.

While they were training they were talking. "Scott we particularly own the building, I just think that the empty space can be turned into something grand, like a coffee shop or a bakery?" "We are not opening a bakery." "So you agree to the coffee shop?" She asked while dodging his fist. "I don't mind as long as you don't make the uniforms pink or ties." Elizabeth in twined her hands together and squealed.

Rachel and Jade cringed at the sound as if it was nails to a chalkboard. Elizabeth jumped on Scott and squealing. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Scott couldn't balance himself, so he fell backwards on his back, hugging his wife. "Your welcome." Then they kissed. Jade and Rachel cringed even more, if possible. Rachel started thinking. 'I bet that'll be me and Shota. Wait what?!' Rachel shook her head to make her stop thinking about him.

A blush creeped up her cheeks as she tried not to think about him. After awhile they went down stairs to check out the empty building that they own, it was pretty decent for a cafe. They just needed to decorate it and clean it up. Jade asked her mom while looking around. "So, what are we going to call it?" Elizabeth thought for a second when she snapped her fingers and said. "Betty's cafe." They all agreed with her and got to work.

The Maxwell siblings cleaned up while the Maxwell parents got the supplies. While the siblings were working, Rachel was humming a little tune. Jade knew it all to well and started singing. "It's the hard-knock life for us, it's the hard-knock life for us." Rachel looked at her and smiled. She took out her phone while jade got the speaker, Rachel plugged it in and played it.


After awhile Elizabeth and Scott came back with the supplies, they started painting it a light blue. After they were done, they started painting a room that would be the kitchen. After they were done they went up stairs to make a design of what it would look like.

A counter was going to in front of the kitchen and there was going to be three stools in front of the counter, three booths and a mini tv in the corner where the door where the kitchen was. While they were doing this Rachel was in her Hammock thinking about Shota. 'I can't be his friend, he would never accept me as a vigilante because that'll just get him hurt. He might think the only reason I was his friend was to use him and he'd have me and my family arrested for vigilantism.' Rachel was depressed that she couldn't have a friend that was a hero. She wanted to be a hero but she missed the exam to get into UA.

Three months later the cafe was having its grand opening. Jade and Rachel were passing out flyers, Jade passed a flyer to a blonde man, a black haired women and a black haired man. They all decided to go to Betty's cafe. The next day was opening day and the Maxwell family were wearing their uniforms.

Scott: "Well, at least its not pink."

Jade: "And we don't have to wear a tie."

Rachel: "I'm just glad I don't get to wear a skirt."

Elizabeth: "Okay guys, this is it. Now let's go and serve people."

They nodded and went to work. Costumes came in and drank and ate. It was going good until they ran out of chocolate chips. "I'll go get more mom." "Okay sweetie." Rachel went outside and wrote on the chalkboard 'temporarily out.' On the bottom of chocolate chip cookies. When she left, three people came into the store, the girl noticed that the chocolate chip cookies were temporarily out. "Aww, I wanted a chocolate chip cookie." "Oh well." "Hey, lets wait until they make more." "Good idea."

They went in and were greeted by a women in her 40s. "Welcome to Bettys Cafe, please take a seat anywhere." They sat on the stools and ordered. "What can I get you three." "I'd like a latte with extra sugar." "I'd like espresso." "I'll just have coffee no sugar." "All right I'll have your order out in a minute." Jade went to making their drinks. The women looked at Scott and asked. "How long do you think it'll take to make the chocolate chip cookies?" "About an hour, that is if my other daughter gets back with the chips." "Okay and I'll have one when their done." "Okay."

After a minute the black haired man got up to go to the bathroom. As he was doing this Rachel got back with the chocolate chips and was walking into the store with her eyes closed. She and the man bumped into each other and fell to the ground. Rachel was on top of him and he was on the bottom.

They groaned in pain and when they looked up, they recognized each other. "Rachel?" "Shota?" "You know this girl Aizawa?" Nemuri Kayama asked him with a smile. Rachel quickly stood up and helped Shota up. "We met three months ago. Her names Rachel Maxwell." Rachel nodded and introduced herself. "Yes my name Rachel Maxwell and this my family." She pointed at Jade. "This is my older sister Jade." She pointed at Scott. "This is my dad Scott." Then she pointed at Elizabeth. "And this is my mom Elizabeth. What are your names?" "My name is Nemuri Kayama." "And I'm Hizashi Yamada."

After the introduction they started talking. After seven hours they started to close the cafe.  Rachel and Shota were outside talking to each other. "Sorry for bumping into you I wasn't looking where I was going." "It's fine, I wasn't really paying attention." Shota looked at the sign and asked. "So you work and live here?" "Yeah, we own the Entire building, we just have to pay rent every month so we're good." Shota looked at her and smiled. She smiled back and said. "It was good to see you again." "You too."

Rachel looked at Shota and thought. 'Oh what the hell.' She took out her notebook and pen and started writing something on it. Shota looked at her curiously and then she ripped the  paper out and gave it to him. He took it out of her hand and saw that it was her phone number. "Call me when you get the chance." A faint blush appeared on his cheeks and a small smile.

He thanked her and went home, when he got home he texted her that he got home. Then he added her number to his contacts. Back at the Maxwells, Rachel did the same. She had a faint blush on her cheeks and a smile on her face.

The next day they were coming up with codenames.

Jade: "I'll be Cheshire. Because I disappeared like a Cheshire Cat."

Scott: "That's a good name baby girl, I'll be sports master."

Elizabeth: "That's a good one love, I'll be the hunter. Because of my stealth."

Jade: "Nice one mom. What about you Rachel?"

Rachel looked up from her little snack.

Elizabeth: "Yes honey, do tell us."

Rachel: "Well, I wanna be called,"
