"Luca Cleo Cattaneo!"

The young girl stopped running when she heard her father's warning tone.

Sh  turned around with a gloomy expression. "But papa!" She whined.

Achilles chuckled when he saw his daughter's disappointment.

"You know that they wouldn't like you running around, right?"

Luca trudged towards him with heavy footsteps. Her pout was visible as she look at her father with a displeased expression.

"You wouldn't like me running." She answered but then tried her best to use her puppy dog eyes. "Please? Five more minutes, papa."

"Oh no, my topolina." He scooped her up in the air making Luca squeal in surprise. "We're going to take a bath."

(Little mouse.)

Luca giggled and contently laid her head on her father's shoulder. "D'you think that they'll be 'kay?"

Achilles raises his brow in confusion. "Why wouldn't they be?"

"I heard the maids..." She hesitantly muttered. "They said that they'll be in danger."

Achilles narrowed his eyes, his hold on her tightened. "They're not." Then he remembered something. "And don't go eavesdropping. It's not nice."

Luca nodded. "I know but they were lying!"

Achilles hummed curiously. "How so, baby?"

"They are super heroes!" She exclaimed as if that explains everything. "They will never ever ever be in danger!"

Her father smiled.

"And what do super heroes do?"

Luca shrugged. "They fly and run and save people."

"Yeah, and your brothers are superheroes." He kissed her cheek.

Luca giggled again and hugged her father. "Are you a hero too?"

"For you, bambina, I'll always be your hero." He softly whispered, loving his daughter's innocence.

(Baby girl.)

He won't let his other life stain that innocence away.

"Gabi!" Luca immediately let go of her father's hand and literally ran towards the first person who got out of their private plane.

Despite her father's shouts and attempts to catch her hand again, Luca just continued to run.

Gabriele huffed when Luca unexpectedly threw herself at him. It made him stumble a bit.

"Luca!" He  scolded. "Father told you not to run!"

The little girl snuggled closer to him, hugging his waist. "Missed you!"

He rolled his eyes. "We've only been gone for three months, topolina."

She huffed. "That's still a super long time!"

He smiled softly. "Yeah?"

Luca tilted her head to the side in mild curiosity. "Why'd you left?"

Gabriele's smile faltered. He gave their father a glance, narrowing his eyes. A menacing aura loomed over him slightly causing Luca to frown.

"Finishing some business."

Somehow, that line made Luca frown even more.

"Luca!" Sydney threw his arm around his Gabriele's shoulder as he grinned down at her. "I've missed you!"

The scary aura that was once there disappeared.

Luca beamed. "Juli!"

Enzo then walked out of the plane with a soft smile plastered on her face. "Luca, don't shout, passerota."

(Little sparrow.)

Luca nodded. "I'll try."

Enzo rolled his eyes and got into their little group hug.

"Damn it." Gabriele cursed when he couldn't find a way to get ouf of their happy little hug.

"Hey!" Sydney scolded. "That's bad!"

"Gabriele." Enzo warned causing Luca to snicker.

"Gabi's in trouble." She teased with an innocent smile on her face.

The said man glared at her causing the little girl to smirk adorably at him.

"Now you guys." Their father called out with a grin on his face. "You really like to run, huh? I thought that I told you to wait, little missy."

She pouted. "How could I wait? Three musketeers are here!"

Sydney couldn't help but bark out a laugh while the other two stared at her in confusion and mild amusement.

"Three musketeers?" Gabriele asked, his brow twitching in annoyance.

"Mm-hmm." She hummed, nodding. "Papa said that."

"Okay, little adventurer." Enzo said, securely scooping his little sister securely.

"Let's go home, shall we?" Gabriele asked impatiently.

Luca grinned and nodded. "Luca, Luca, Luca the explorer! Luca!" She sang with a grin, tuning the Dora the explorer song.

Her family just shake their heads at their little girl's silliness.
