"Really? I slept in again?!" Will hit his alarm clock titled '4:47 AM'. He jumped to his closet, putting on a respectable short sleeved-vest with shorts to match. It was a Friday morning after all, better to look spiffy. He walked out into the base, the hallways with ominous single row lights, emitting a "safe area" of circles about 2 yards from each other. "You'd swore I lived in a jail or something. But, I guess it isn't too bad, lit, warm, and well-kept." He slid down the railing onto the main floor. He grabbed the universal controller on the table near the kitchen. With a single swipe, he lit the main sector 2 with a dim, morning-like light. "How to approach the day?" he wondered. "It'd be nice to do something for Dad and Zach alike... maybe get a little coffee for them, assuming they get up soon. Meh, I'll put a delay on it, at least so that it'll do itself." And so as thought and wished, he did so.
Will; the creation of a brawny Dad, and an unknown mother he knew slightly of. With looks alone, that is what tied him and his Dad together. He a photo-copy of his Dad, except Will had both eyes, and a blue hue to his glance. But that was it. Will was knowledgeable, intelligent, and musical to say the least. "Brains," he thought. "I've even had the folly to think of me smarter than Dad." And that was Wolf's fault for the creation of such a statement; there was much Wolf hadn't mentioned, done, or demonstrated to Will, all of the history, the past, the 'once was' of both Zach and himself. But that was for a different story. What little Zach knew of his Dad, was mostly a faulted impersonation of what Wolf wanted Zach to know of him, and that image was slipping ever so slightly. But Will never put two thoughts to it, so it was in abidement for now.
"I should probably practice some of my violin later, surprise Dad with a little classical music; open his library."
Yup. Today was going to be a productive day.
--------------------
Wolf slugged up to the kitchen; Zach seemed to have gotten up, and Will finished his daily morning routines: lights, security check, base maintenance, and... Wolf put his Bloodhound-like nose to the air. "... is that coffee?" The Coffee maker broke the silence of the day with a couple beeps of finishing tones. He grabbed a mug, reading "I Heart Mondays". Nothing he believed, but it was a pretty big mug nonetheless.
The morning started with a hot shower piqued with a shot of black darkness in a mug. He noticed that neither of the family wolves were around. It was a crazy thing, these recent happenstances. Just the build of it all. Alone, criminal, alone once more, team built, found Long-lost brother he barely knew, wife, victories, dying (5 times), loss of a teammate, team broke up, wife disappeared, kid and brother left, with no hopes of a bright upturn. He didn't expect any encouragement or pity, cause he didn't feel any to begin with, so it was even nature.
He took a sip of his morning darkness, and tapped a receiver built into the wall, and slid his finger onto Zach's name, triggering Zach's memo box on his transceiver. "I need you to help me repair the Wolfen later today. Memo back." His head made contact with the counter as he sighed the sleepiness out.
