Start from the beginning
                                    

"Prepare for eight, Jett," Skye demanded, earning a nod of acknowledgment from Jett.

Having breakfast together with the others isn't mandatory, so only these agents who were present are always here, while the rest rarely attend or only show up when they feel like it.

A short while later, Jett emerged from the kitchen, carrying a tray with an array of mouthwatering breakfast dishes. The agents' eyes widened in awe as she set the masterpiece on the table. Crispy bacon, fresh fruit, and sea urchin cream sauce spaghetti. 'Simple', but seemed too good to be true.

"Wow, you've outdone yourself again," Phoenix said, his mouth watering at the sight.
"It's my way of ensuring you guys show up," Jett replied with a playful wink.
"This looks amazing!" Raze exclaimed, already reaching for the food.

As they all sat together, passing around dishes and sharing laughter, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Breakfast was more than just a meal; it was a moment of bonding. Soon, Glitch strolled in, greeting everyone with a sleepy grin. "Morning, everyone."

"Morning," they responded.
"About time you woke up," Skye teased.
"Glitch, you better sit down before all this food gets cold," Astra said with a smile, pointing at an open seat. Glitch blinked, as if snapping out of a trance, and chuckled, taking a seat next to Phoenix. "I guess I got lost in the aroma. Thanks, Astra," he replied, appreciating the reminder. 

"Wassup, bro," Phoenix greeted, raising his fist in a friendly gesture while still chewing on his food."What's up?" Glitch replied with a grin, meeting Phoenix's brofist with his own. The agents continued to enjoy their breakfast, their laughter and conversation filling the room as if they were family.

Jett suddenly paused mid-meal, a look of realization crossing her face.

"I almost forgot," Jett exclaimed, with cheerfulness in her eyes. She swiftly made her way to the kitchen, rummaging through the cupboards and fridge. Curiosity piqued, the other agents exchanged puzzled glances.

Moments later, Jett returned to the dining table, carrying a mouthwatering cake and an assortment of cookies, enough to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth. "You guys aren't gonna believe it, but Viper gave this to me last night. Said it's for everyone," she announced with excitement.

"Viper? That's unusual. What's the occasion?" Sova inquired, intrigued by the unexpected gesture. Jett shrugged. "I don't know. She seemed like she was in a really good mood last night."

Phoenix's eyes lit up as he caught sight of the scrumptious treats. "Looks good. Give that here," he said eagerly.

Jett couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm. She moved closer to Phoenix, their hands accidentally brushing against each other as she handed him some cookies. A blush crept onto both of their cheeks, momentarily flustered by the accidental touch.

As the agents continued to enjoy the delectable treats, Glitch couldn't help but smile as he had a hunch about the reason behind Viper's joy.

"What's wrong, Glitch? You're barely touching the food," Sage pointed out, concerned for her teammate. Jett then panicked and blurted out, "Is it too salty??? I probably put too much-"

"Oh no no no, Jett, it's perfect. I was just thinking about why KJ isn't here," Glitch said, trying to find an excuse. The food was indeed amazing, but he felt it wasn't the right time to talk about Viper and Omen just yet.

"Wait, don't tell me. Do you... uh... you know... KJ..?" Raze tried to ask something, her voice tinged with unease.

Glitch chuckled nervously. "I was just wondering if she's with KAY/O. They've been spending a lot of time together, right?"
