The next day we were down in Davenports lab, hoping for a good result as he fixed up Bree's chip

"Well Bree, you smashed your chip so badly it's useless, but I was able to replicate my brother's original chip and like my face it's flawless," Davenport said

"Forget the chip we need to get this dude a mirror because we all know Scarlett's the one with the flawless face," Leo said

"Well I do make it work," I said while flipping my hair, "Wait. What did you break?"

"Nothing!"

"What'd you do?"

"I... okay maybe I promised Janelle you'd make a painting of her?" Leo spoke, I groaned

"Fifty bucks, that's my commission price."

"What?! But I'm family!"

"And family supports each other's businesses! Artists don't do work for free you know," I warned, he sighed and pulled a fifty out of his pocket, I smiled and took it

"Pleasure doing business with you."

"I hate you."

"Nice," Bree smirked, high fiving me, "So am I actually going to be bionic again?"

"Yup," Davenport said

"Yes! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Bree chanted excitedly

"Your chip is almost ready," Davenport spoke and after it scanned it ringed

"Ooh snacks are done," Adam said

"For the last time this isn't a microwave it's a chip fabricator," Davenport sighed

"Call it whatever you want I'm still making my minnie pizzas in here," Adam shrugged

"Okay Bree, hop into your capsule and get ready for your new chip," Davenport said and Bree went into her capsule and put the chip on a stand, after a few moments of her standing in front of the chip implanter she came out rubbing her neck

"So, how does it feel?" Davenport asked

"Like a piece of metal got jammed into my neck and fused to my nerve system," Bree deadpanned

"Whooo success!" Davenport cheered, "Alright give it a try and see how it worked."

Bree then took off but started bouncing off the ceiling and then fell on the floor, knocking a bunch of things with her

"Well, she's still more useful than Chase," Adam suggested

"What is with you and picking on Chase?" I asked harshly, he shrugged

"It's funny."

"It's about as funny as your sock puppet shows!"

Adam gasped, "You take that back!"

I rolled my eyes and went over to help Bree along with the others as we sat her on a chair

"You know technically speaking, your bionics are working," Davenport suggested

"You call this working?" Bree said but in a deep voice, "I can't control my vocal manipulation, I can't control anything!" Bree continued in a chipmunk voice

"I'm so close! It just needs a few tweaks," Davenport spoke, putting the neck brace around her

"No offense Big D but if your brother's the one who created her original chip then maybe we should just-" Leo began

"No, forget about him, I never want to see that waste of space again," Davenport interrupted, I nodded

"But he's are only hope. And he's not all bad he saved us from Krane," Chase said, on one hand he was right that Douglas could be useful but he tried to kill me! No thank you!

"Yeah, you know what else he did, he blew up the lab, kidnapped you guys, stole all my money and tried to kill Scarlett and ship her off to her enemies," Davenport explained

"All I'm hearing is adventure and excitement," Adam said, I smacked his arm harshly and he whimpered

"Look, I do not need any help from Douglas I will fix this okay. And give me a little credit, I happen to be a tech genius," Davenport said and Bree stood up from the chair

"Okay let's give it another go," Davenport order, Bree breathed in and when she used her super speed she went backwards and crashed into something and Adam chuckled

"Mr. Davenport, you are not good at what you do."

~~~~~

I stood in my art room, jamming away to music in my headphones and painting that picture of Janelle for Leo

As much as I wanted to help Bree, I was no good at making a bionic chip, so I left that up to Davenport and told him to call me if he needed me

I hummed lightly to myself as I carefully painted the features of Janelle's face, smiling to myself at how it was all coming together

I heard a loud banging on my door that startled me, I paused my music and took out my headphones as I shouted, "Come in!"

Leo popped inside, "Hey, Scarlett I need—wow! Is that Janelle's painting?"

I nodded with a smile, "It's only the base line colors. I'm filling out her features and everything. I'll be adding more details as the paint drys."

"Now I see why you wanted fifty bucks, that is so life like! It's been a really long time since I saw you paint a portrait of someone," Leo commented, I smiled

"Thanks Leo. And lucky for you I'm not adding the baseline price when I finish this."

"You wanted me to give you more money?!"

"Yeah! It was about twenty extra but, you're family so I'll let it slide," I smirked, he rolled his eyes

"Listen, as much as I love free things there's something I gotta ask you. And promise me you'll hear me out!" Leo urged, I glanced at him confused

"Uh, alright? Shoot."

"I wanna bring in Douglas," Leo squeaked, I dropped my paintbrush from my hand out of shock

"You want to what?!" I shrieked

"You said you'd hear me out!"

"That was before I knew Douglas was part of your plan! Leo he's dangerous!"

"But he helped save Adam, Bree, and Chase from Krane!"

"Let's also not forget that he tried to kill me, had Marcus try to kill you, captured the bionic trio to turn them evil, and held Davenport hostage!"

"All good points!"

"None of them are good Leo! So he's done one good thing, hooray! The negatives outweigh the positives!"

"Oh come on Scarlett! If anyone knows about giving second chances it's you," Leo countered, I crossed my arms

"Yeah, after they've proven themselves!"

"Let him prove himself! Help me find him so he can fix Bree's chip!"

I shook my head, "No way."

"Scarlett—"

"He worked with my mortal enemies Leo! He was going to give me to them and I'd be dead for sure! And who knows if he's still in contact with them! I'm sorry, but I can't even begin to trust him just yet," I told him

"Scarlett please! Bree needs our help!"

"And Davenport will fix the chip! They created it together, he'll have it soon."

"Scarlett—"

"If you're going after Douglas be careful, but otherwise I can't help you with him. I won't. Not after everything he's done to us."

~~~~~

As I finished up Janelle's painting I went downstairs to grab a water from the kitchen, when Bree for some reason sped past me at the speed of sound

"What the—" I gasped, did Davenport fix the chip?

"Scarlett! Help!" Bree yelled as she rushed past me again, something was most definitely wrong

"I'm coming Bree!" I called, running down to the lab only to see Davenport, Douglas, and Leo standing at the chip maker arguing

"Leo! What did you do?" I snapped, Leo looked up and his eyes widened

"She found me!" Leo shrieked

"I told you not to bring in Douglas!" I growled, walking over towards them

"You knew about this?!" Davenport gasped

"I didn't know he'd actually bring him! He asked me for my help and I told him no!"

"Leo!"

"Bree needs the help! And besides you have got to taste his food, it's to die for," Leo interjected

"And what if it's poisoned?" I questioned

"Oh come on! I may be evil but I'm not that evil!" Douglas scoffed, I glared

"You are literally the evilest person I've met! And that's saying something because I've fought tougher supervillains than you!"

"That's actually a compliment to me—"

"Well it shouldn't be!" I snapped

"Do something!" Bree yelled as she zoomed by, my focus immediately went to her

"Bree, do you mind? We're in the middle of something here!" Davenport scoffed

"No time, I'll be dealing with you later," I growled, glaring at Douglas as he slightly backed away from me, "We have to stop Bree so we can fix that chip."

"Well how are we supposed to stop someone running at a speed of sound?" Leo asked.

"Spike strips?" Douglas asked.

"Sure why not work for Wile E Coyote?" Mr. Davenport asked sarcastically and Bree super speeded past us again, yelling for help

"Look maybe we can construct some type of air bag," Davenport offered

"Oh yeah cuz that's not cartoony at all," Douglas scoffed

"Spike strip where did you get that idea from, your hair?" Davenport asked

"Where did you get the air bag idea your belly?" Douglas asked and Davenport gasped

"I'll have you know I lost that Chirstmas weight!" Davenport said

"Stop arguing!" I snapped, bring the attention back to me, "What if, I don't know, the girl with telekinesis traps Bree in a stabilized field long enough for us to put her in a harness or something!"

"That's not a bad idea," Davenport suggested

"I though it wasn't a bad idea before you did," Douglas countered, I rolled my eyes

"Davenport, you and Leo go grab that harness Davenport used for his weird yoga class," I ordered

"It's actually—"

"Just go!"

"Davenport, she's already mad at me, do not poke the bear," Leo warned

"Right! Let's go!" Davenport urged as he and Leo ran out of the lab

"What about me?" Douglas asked, I glared

"You're staying here so I can make sure you don't do anything to hurt this family," I warned, before walking over to the middle of the lab, waiting for Bree

In a spilt second I watched as Bree rounded the corner, I quickly put my hands up and used my telekinesis to stop her mid-run, she was now caught in my telekinetic force field as I kept her in place, her legs twitching to run

"Scarlett you did it!" Bree exclaimed, I smiled lightly as I kept my concentration on the field

"You know, I wonder if I can study that to—"

"You are not going anywhere near me after what you've done," I snapped, Douglas was quick to throw his hands up

"I swear if I could take it back I would!"

"Yeah, like I believe that for a second."

~~~~~

"Can someone please do something?!" Bree exclaimed, holding onto the harness that was on her waist while her legs speeded out of control

"Her heart rate is at 200 and rising and well I'm not a doctor I feel that's unsafe," Leo warned

"As someone with the same abilities, it's definitely not safe," I added

"This is all your fault you over loaded her chip," Davenport said while walking over to his desk

"My fault? It was your chip I was trying to fix. Which was flawed, just like your original nose," Douglas taunted and Davenport gasped

"Get this chip out of me!" Bree exclaimed.

"We can't remove your chip while your bionics are in use but, we can program it wirelessly with this," Davenport said while putting something on her neck

"Hurry she's red lining, if we don't do something her heart could-" Leo said but got interupted by Bree

"My heart could what?!" Bree asked panicking

"Whats another word for explode?" Leo asked

"You're so calming do you know that?" I sarcastically asked him, he gave me a pointed look

"I'll enable a diagnostics app that will help us issolate problems in the code," Davenport said.

"We don't have time for that, I'll fix the code," Douglas said while pushing Davenport

"You've fixed enough I've got it," Davenport snapped

"Oh no, what's wrong with her head?" Douglas asked then pushed Davenport aside and they went at eachother again

"Stop we're running out of time!" Leo exclaimed panicking

"If you both don't stop fighting and work together I will smash your heads in," I warned, the two brothers looked at me with wide eyes

"I wish she was kidding," Leo chimed in

"Wait this code hasn't been debugged," Douglas gasped

"That's why her neuronale keeps reindexing," Davenport added

"What does that mean?!" I asked

"I solved the problem!" Davenport and Douglas exclaimed as they started typing, "Complex astrex p equals no value equals one."

"Here it goes," Davenport said and both him and Douglas pressed the button and Bree's legs stopped speeding out of control.

"Yes! Her heart rate is going down! It's headed for normal," Leo said and I sighed in relief

"Yay," Bree said tiredly and Davenport and Douglas did this weird victory dance

"I wish my heart exploded before I saw that," Bree said

"I don't even think an explosion could keep you safe from that."

~~~~~

Later Leo and I sat in the living room waiting for Chase and Adam

"You know... Douglas wasn't all bad today..." Leo chimed, I rolled my eyes

"You're lucky I don't punch you for going after him. What were you thinking?!"

"I was thinking I could help Bree, and I don't mean to say I told you so..."

"Leo, I'll admit Douglas did help today, but he's still not that trustworthy..."

"If you don't begin to trust him now will you ever?" Leo asked softly, I frowned as I pondered the question

Just as I was about to respond Adam and Chase walked in the door

"Hey guys guess what?" Leo asked, and then Bree came speeding into the living room

"I'm back losers," She grinned 

"Well that's uhh too bad cuz we've already moved on," Adam coughed

"Hey boys," Douglas spoke, coming into the living room with Davenport

"Douglas? What's going on?" Chase asked, glancing at me worriedly as he wrapped his arms around my waist, I smiled softly at his protectiveness

"He fixed Bree's chip," I explained

"Actually we fixed her chip." Douglas said reffering to him and Davenport, "That's right the Davenport boys together again."

"Yeah not quite, look I'm greatful for your help and couldn't have done it without you but I can't forgive you for what you've done to this family. You should go," Davenport spoke

"Oh," Douglas softly spoke

"You can't throw your own brother out on the street," Chase mentioned

"Why not? I do it do you," Adam spoke

"I'd like to see you try," I tested

"He's tried to hurt us way too many times," Davenport explained

"But he's also saved our lives. Twice," Bree added

"Plus, dude can cook," Leo mentioned

"Speaking of, you've eaten 60 bucks worth of my food, pay up," Douglas said

"You heard the man, out," Leo ordered, I rolled my eyes, suddenly feeling bad for Douglas

"Come on Mr. Davenport just let the guy stay," Adam spoke

"Just give him a chance," Chase pleaded

"This isn't fair," Bree continued

"Guys, it's okay, he's right I messed up. See you around," Douglas sadly smiled as he made his way to the door, my heart ached and before I knew it I called out to him

"Douglas wait," I sighed, he stopped and turned around confused and a little scared as I gently got out of Chase's grasp

"Scarlett—" Davenport began

"I know there's nothing I can say on the subject of you staying, cause I'm still cautious of you myself," I began

"More like hostile," Douglas added

"Trust us, that's no where near her being hostile," Chase spoke, the others nodded

His face morphed to an even more scared face as I reach into my back pocket, "Wait—"

"I'm a woman who knows the struggle of being paid for her art. And food is technically a culinary art, so here," I spoke, digging into my wallet, pulling out seventy-five dollars and handing it to him, "Leo's always a cheapskate when it comes to paying for his own stuff."

"I am not!"

"You wanted me to do a painting for you for free, don't even get me started on how little you tip servers until I set you straight," I warned

"I... I think I'll stop talking now..." Leo mumbled, I shook my head and gestured at the money

"I hope it's enough, it's not much but..." I softly spoke, he offered me a small smile and took it

"It's more than enough. Thank you, that must have took a lot," Douglas spoke

"It's... a peace offering a guess. If you can prove your trying to be good... then I'll give you a chance. But you only get one, after that I can't promise anything," I spoke, he nodded

"Thank you."

"Be careful out there," I warned, he nodded with one last small smile and left, I put my wallet back in my pocket and turned back towards the others

"I'm tearing up," Adam sniffled, I gave him a weird look as Chase patted his back

"Thank you Leo, if not for you none of this would have ever worked out," Bree thanked Leo, before going to Davenport, "I promise I will never do anything that stupid ever again."

"It's okay, we all make mistakes and everybody deserves a second chance," Davenport spoke

"Everybody?" Bree asked, referring to Douglas

"Oh snap!" Adam shouted, we all looked at him

"Seriously?"

~~~~~

The next day we set out to find Douglas, and lucky for us Leo knew where he was, so now we stood in front of a food cart with a lady at the head

"Hey Douglas," Leo said walking over to a lady

"I don't think that's Douglas," Chase interjected

"Yeah, she has much bigger hands," Adam pointed out

"Trust me guys this is no lady," Leo began and he poked her neck

"Get off me!" She snapped

"Come on Douglas, ditch the mask. Where's the button on this thing?" Leo asked and went for it again but she stopped him by grabbing both of his hands

"I'm warning you kid, stop poking me, or you'll meet the wrong end of these tongues," She warned

"It's okay Greta, they're with me," Douglas spoke, popping out of a bush and Leo shrieked

"So that's Douglas?" Leo asked

"Aha," The woman spoke annoyed

"And you're a real lady?" Leo asked

"Aha," She growled

"Help me!" Leo shrieked and Chase signaled him to come over

"What are you guys doing here?" Douglas asked

"Uhh, well ummm, we're going on a family jog you know Leo gets winded on the first mile so we all have to carry him we go long, bye," Davenport said and walked back over to us

"Oh no you don't. We had a deal," I told him, pushing him towards Douglas

"Okay, I may have been a little harsh yesterday," Davenport sighed

"A little?" Douglas asked

"Don't push it, you're sleeping in a bush," Leo warned

"Continue," Douglas urged

"I realized everybody deserves a second chance, even you, so as soon as you apoligize for all the things you've done to hurt our family and say that I'm better than you, than maybe you can come stay with us. But if you don't want to you don't have to," Davenport said

"No, no, no it's clear that you need me, so I'm sorry, and thank you. Now let's go home," Douglas said

"Well there's... kinda one more thing. Scarlett," Davenport spoke, I walked next to Davenport

"Look. I meant what I said yesterday, I wanna give you a fair shot. But you gotta do something for me," I began

"Name it," Douglas offered

"Claire and TJ. I know you worked with them and I trust your not planning anything with them. But if they ever reach out to you again, if you know where they are. Anything and everything about them I want to know the second it happens," I ordered, he nodded

"You have my word," Douglas spoke, I offered him a small smile

"Then I say welcome back to the family," I smiled, walking back over to Chase as he wrapped his arms around me

"I'm so proud of you," he mumbled, kissing my forehead, I chuckled

"Thanks baby."

"Okay umm I only brought the motorcycle so your going to have to ride on the back," Davenport spoke

"It's okay, I'll just drive," Douglas offered

"Drive my motorcycle? Everyone knows the big guy rides infront."

"Well I'm just not gonna sit there with my arms wrapped around you."

"Do you think I'm crazy about that?"

"I'm not touching your tummy."

"Wow so immature," Chase scoffed

"Yeah who acts like that?" Adam asked

"Then either of you want to tell me why two of my leather jackets are missing from my closet? The ones I have to sell?" I pondered, the two looked at each other with a fearful look

"Run!" Adam yelled, running away with Chase hot on his tails

"Those two never learn, do they?" Leo asked

"You're no excuse mister, I know you stole Janelle's painting from my room," I spoke, he shrieked

"Wait for me!" Leo yelled, running after the two boys

"Do they ever learn?" Bree asked

"I'm not sure. But I wouldn't be surprised if all my items mysteriously returned to my room once we got home."

Bree laughed, "Wanna get some smoothies since they'll be occupied?"

"Sure! You're paying though."

"I— you know what? That's fair."
