Antonios p.o.v:
I wake up at around 6am. I have a quick shower before going to make breakfast. When breakfast is nearly done, Alexa walks in, looking a bit zombieish if you ask me. I smile as she takes the orange juice I hand her.
"Morning. How'd you sleep?" I ask her as I hand her a plate of pancakes.
"Good thanks. Anything new on the case?" She asks me as she takes a bite of her pancakes. I shake my head.
"We're getting there. But you still have to stay with someone." She finishes her pancakes and washes the plate, even after I insisted I'd do it. She's very stubborn, but I guess that's a good thing. She's finishes her orange juice before going to get dressed. She goes upstairs.
"Ermm...Antonio, can I use your shower?" She asks, as if I'll say no. I walk upstairs.
"Yeah sure. The bathrooms right there. Left is on/off, right is temperature." I say, showing her to the bathroom and how the shower works.

Around 30 minutes later, Alexa comes downstairs looking more refreshed and a lot less zombieish.                  
"Ready to go?" I ask her. She nods before grabbing her shoes and jacket, from near the door.
"Ermm...do I need to bring my stuff?" Alexa asks, just before we leave. I shake my head.
"Nope...you'll be staying here aleast another night, if not more after the case is solved." I say as we climb into my truck. She nods a reply before putiing in her headphones. See, for some reason, and it sounds really weird in the short time Ive know Alexa, weve bonded really well. I drive to th district. I pat her arm to signal our arrival. She removes her headphones and gets out the car. We walk into the district and up to intelligence.  
"Morning" I say. Everyone replies with hey, morning and Im sure someone, probably Ruzeck, replied with a yo. I sit Alexa down at my desk as I go to speak with Voight.

Alexas p.o.v:
Im currently sat talking to everyone. They're really nice, especially Erin, Taylor and Mouse. Me and Taylor get on really well as we both really like technology and Erin sounds like a real bad ass. I ask Mouse if I could borrow his computer to check online for any school work. See Voight and Antonio called my school and asked if they could put my work online for me to complete so I dont fall behind. I look online and see some Maths and English work. It doesnt take me long to complete the maths work because - like my teachers keeps reminding me - im way ahead than everyone else. I skim over the task thats been set for english and pause. Write or video a report on what a hero is to you. Yes! I love things like this and I have a really great idea.

"Ermm, Antonio you said your sister worked at firehouse 51 right?" I ask, putting an idea together in my head.
"Yeah Gabby, why?" He ask, confused as to why im asking.
"Well, my english project is to write or video a report on what a hero is to you. I want to write one about first responders and doctors. Can you maybe call your sister and ask for her help?" I ask, almost pleading with him.
He smiles and nods before getting his phone out to probably call his sister.
"Hey, you know, my brother Will is a doctor over at Chicago med....why dont I ask for his help?" Jay asks, leaning on his desk, waiting for my reply.
"Really??!! Thats awesome thanks!" I say, grateful that they all want to help me. I go into the break room to plan my project as the team continues working my case.

Later that day...
So earlier Jays brother Will stopped by to help with my project. We spent some time getting to know eachother before the team had to go out, apparently they found the perps responsible for the murder linked to my case. Anyway, Antonio said his sister was on shift untill tomorrow but said we could stop by to talk to her and everyone at the firehouse. Will offered to take me so we could all work on the project together at the firehouse and that way if they got a call out I wouldnt be stranded. We get into Wills car and he drives us to the firehouse.

We pull up outside the firehouse and get out of Wills car. On the way he told me a little about everyone at 51 and they all seem really nice. We walk inside and see some men sat around a table. One of them stands up and walks towards us. He shakes Wills hand.
"Hey Will, you must be Alexa. Gabby said you'd be stopping by. Im Squad Lietenant Kelly Severide."
"Hi, its nice to meet you." I say, looking around at the equiptment around me. Kelly shows us around and introduces us to everyone.
"And this is Gabby Dawson, Antonios brother" I go to shake her hand but she pulls me into a hug, then hugs Will.
"Ermm...thanks for helping me, it means alot." We sit down at the table and get to work.

Across town...Antonios p.o.v:
"Stop!! You dont have to do this" I shout, slowing down and placinng my gun in its holster.
"What do you know...theres no way out" The perp, 18 year old Rico Halsis, screams, climbing further over the railing and point his gun at me. He slips and drops his gun, but doesnt fall. I slowly move towards him.
"We can help, the others are in jail now. We can protect you" I say, almost at the railing my self. Sensing whats about to happen I undo the straps on my vest and empty my pockets and gun to the floor.
"No...you cant" and with that, he jumps into the water below. Other intelligence members have joined by now and before they can react Im climbing the railing myself.
"Im going in....go to the dock" I say, then jump into the water myself. I grab Rico and drag him to the side where the others pull him up. Erin calls for an ambulance whilst Jay helps me out of the water.

An ambulance comes and takes Rico to the hospital. After that, hell go to jail. I drive back to the district with the others and change my clothes. I have a text from Alexa saying shell meet me at Mollys with everyone else and she want to thank everyone and read her project. We spend the next few hours writing paperwork and completing this case. Case #1518 is officially closed. For the time being Alexa will stay with me as shes 16 in a few months.

At around 8pm we all head to Mollys.

At Mollys...Alexas p.o.v:
"I wanted to thank everyone for helping me with this project...and for taking care of me during this case. As you know Ill be staying with Antonio for a while. But here it is my final English project.

What a Hero is to Me
To me, a hero isn't someone who wears a cape or flies around.
A hero, is someone who puts other people's needs before theirs, someone who gives up their time to help others.
I spoke with doctors from Chicago med, firefighters from firehouse 51 and detectives from the 21st district. All these people, in my eyes, are heroes because they make it their duty to protect and look after others.
I asked, what made them want to do the job they do, and all of them said the following (all put together and summarised;
Firefighters at firehouse 51:
"I want to help people and this job allows me to do that, whilst doing something I love."
Detectives at the 21st district:
"I wanted to make a difference. To protect people and take crime off the streets to make it a safer place for everyone."
Doctors at Chicago med:
"This is a job where we can save lives and make a difference. We see people at their worst and get to help them back to their best."

All of them agreed on one thing;
What they do is so important, it changes lives. Yes, it's hard at times and yes, it's both mentally and physically taxing but, they do their jobs because they get to help people. Who wouldn't want a chance to do that?
To me, this is what a hero is. Not someone who rushes around and over dramatizes things, but someone who helps people because they can and want to, not because they must. Our heroes are these emergency services. We need to treat them with the respect and honour they deserve. Praise them for what they do.
So, this is it. This right here, is what a hero is to me.

Everyone claps, and its now, for the first time ever, that I feel loved. Ive only know these people for a few hours or days and they already treat me like family.
