Friday, 15th November 2013

In the lair, the bionic trio turned to look at their creator.

- "What do you mean you're our father?" Chase asked.

- "Yeah, he's our father." Bree pointed at Donald.

- "No, that's what he's been telling you." Douglas replied.

- "Well, I don't know who you are, but you're going down!" Adam lunged at his creator.

Douglas pressed a button that teleports the team into the cell.

The fuck? Invisible Maddie frowned.

- "You mastered short-range teleportation before I did?" Donald asked. "I've been working on that for years!"

- "I know. I'm awesome." The evil genius grinned.

A Davenport is still a Davenport. The invisible alien girl shook her head.

- "No, you're not awesome. I'm awesome!" The father replied.

- "I'm awesome." Douglas defended.

- "Awesome!" Donald yelled.

- "You're still going down!" The tall guy lunged, before stopping. "My super strength. It's gone."

The bionic girl tried to run, but nothing.

- "So is my speed." She said.

The genius boy touched his temple.

- "I've got nothing." He replied.

- "That's because I designed these lasers to block the signals from your bionic chips." Douglas chuckled as he explained. "That's right. Daddy gave you toys, but he can also take them away."

You're not our father. The green hazel-eyed boy closed his fists, angrily.

The blue-eyed girl, gently, grabbed his forearm.

The youngest Davenport looked at her hand on his arm and didn't move.

- "Yeah. And here, you're not superhuman." Marcus walked towards the cell. "You're just a bunch of pathetic kids."

Well, I'm not human. Invisible Maddie smirked.

- "Don't." Chase murmured, low enough for the alien girl to hear.

What? The Matthews girl frowned at him.

No. The genius boy shook his head.

- "Hey, sad clown. This is my moment." The evil genius pulled his son behind him. "Save it for the stage."

The android pouted as he crossed his arms.

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

Later, the team and the father were still in the cell while Marcus and Douglas walked around them.

- "Well, Marcus. We finally captured them. Actually, I captured them. Me, me, me, me, me." The evil genius chuckled.

- "You've got one of those too, huh?" Chase asked the android.

Donald glared at his son, offended.

Invisible Maddie pressed her lips together to stop herself from laughing.

- "You have no idea." Marcus replied, irritated.

- "Come on." Douglas snapped his fingers. "We got work to do!" he walked away.

His son followed him, irritated.

- "Mr. Davenport, why did that guy say that he was our father?" The genius boy asked.

- "Because, technically, he is your father. And my brother." The father explained.

- "What?" Bree replied, in disbelief. "M, you knew?"

- "I did." The genius girl sighed.

- "Why didn't you say anything?" The Davenport girl questioned.

- "It's not my secret to tell." The invisible Matthews girl shrugged.

- "How is that even possible?" The green hazel-eyed boy asked his father.

- "Wait, so does this mean Chase is also my father?" Adam questioned.

- "No." The invisible alien girl replied.

- "Thank you for clearing that up." The tall guy nodded.

- "Years ago, Douglas and I started Davenport Industries together." Donald explained. "It was great, we had a cute little lab. You know, not as good as the big lab I have now, but then we didn't nearly have as much money..."

- "Get to the point!" The bionic girl cut him.

- "Right. We developed bionics so that robots could do the jobs that were too dangerous for people. But then, Douglas went behind my back and implanted them into genetically engineered humans." The father said.

- "You mean us?" The oldest sibling asked.

- "No, Adam. The Green Bay Packers." Bree sassed.

- "Your bionic chips were never designed to be interfaced with the human nervous system." Donald continued.

- "So that's why we glitch." Chase sighed.

- "Exactly." The father replied.

- "Oh. And all these years, I thought it was just 'cause you're a terrible scientist." Adam shook his head.

- "Douglas also hid all kinds of secret codes in your chips. That's why you have all these mysterious new abilities popping up out of nowhere." Donald explained.

- "So, if your brother created us, how did we end up with you?" The bionic girl asked.

- "He wanted to make you into cyber-soldiers of mass destruction. But I knew if I raised you in a safe environment, I could train you to be bionic heroes. So I built the lab and I hid you there." The father replied.

- "Wow. So everything we've ever known about ourselves, about you, it's all been..." The genius boy started.

- "One big lie." His sister finished his sentence.

- "Wow. This changes everything." The tall guy sighed. "Oh! Am I Jewish?" He asked, excited.

- "Please, tell me, there's another unexpected twist where I find out I'm not related to him." Bree replied.

The youngest sibling nodded.

- "Oi, this one with the futzing and the complaining." The oldest sibling replied.

The mission leader rolled his eyes.

- "Look, I wanted to tell you guys, but I figured the less you knew, the safer you'd be." Donald said.

- "But we trusted you." Chase replied. "I mean, if you were lying about this, then who knows what else you were lying about. And that goes for you, too." He turned to his best friend.

- "I told you, it's not my secret to tell." Invisible Maddie answered.

- "Exactly." Adam pulled on his father's hair.

- "Ow! What are you doing?" The scientist asked, in pain.

- "He's not lying about the hair, just looks fake." The tall guy replied.

- "So, just more lies from you, Maddie." Bree sighed.

- "You, all, have secrets, too. And I didn't say anything." The alien girl replied.

Like that you like girls. Or Adam is confused around Owen. Or how Chase feels about how you're treating him. She thought.

- "It's not the same." The genius boy whispered. "It's about who we are."

- "If you need DNA to tell you who you are, then, you have a problem." The Matthews girl said.

- "Don't act like you never wondered about where you're from." The bionic girl replied.

- "I did. I do." The blue-eyed girl nodded. "But that doesn't make me question who I am and how I was raised."

- "It doesn't matter." Chase crossed his arms. "You, still, lied to us. Again." He looked at her, upset.

- "If you don't want to understand, it's not my problem." Invisible Maddie crossed her arms, as well.

- "How are you seeing her?" Bree frowned.

- "Thermal vision." The two geniuses responded, simultaneously, irritated.

They glared at each other.

The alien girl rolled her eyes.

The bionic boy shook his head.

- "Come here." Adam opened his arms for his siblings.

The bionic trio hugged, while invisible Maddie and Donald stood at the opposite of the cell.

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

Later, Douglas entered the room, again.

- "Hello, family." He said.

- "We're not your family. Let us out of here." Bree replied.

- "Yeah. You can't force us to be your cyber-soldiers." Chase answered.

- "Actually, I can, Boy Wonder." The evil genius replied.

- "Asshole." Invisible Maddie whispered, low enough for only the genius boy to hear.

Language. He thought, amused as he looked at her, behind him.

The alien girl smiled.

"See, when I created you, I installed my Triton app on your chips. Once it's activated, I'll control your bodies, and your minds. You'll do whatever I want, whether it's start a world war, or some light housekeeping." Douglas explained.

- "Oh, no way. You cannot make me vacuum!" Adam shouted and lunged at the cell.

His youngest brother held him back.

- "Why do you need us? I mean, you already have Marcus." The bionic girl replied. "And apparently a barber with a sense of humor."

Donald and the alien girl snickered.

- "Marcus is just an android." Douglas explained.

- "Yeah, we know." The mission leader replied.

- "How?" The evil genius frowned.

- "You're not as smart as you think." The green hazel-eyed boy smirked.

You don't know we have Mads. He thought.

The Matthews girl smirked.

- "Anyway, he's not sleeping, he's recharging. Trouble with androids is they burn out too quick. He won't make it to his 16th birthday." Douglas explained. "Oh, but don't tell him that. He thinks he's getting a car." Leo appeared on the security camera. "Oh, look who showed up to be a hero. And this one's not even bionic. I can take him out with the sprinklers." He laughed.

The blue-eyed girl walked angrily towards the bars of the cell and Chase held her back, she didn't expose her powers.

- "Leave him alone! He's just a kid!" The father yelled.

- "A nosy kid who keeps getting in our way!" The evil genius yelled back.

- "Stay away from him!" Bree shouted.

- "Don't worry, princess. I'm not gonna hurt him." Douglas replied, before pressing a button, and Marcus' capsule opened. "Marcus wanted that privilege all for himself. Your little friend Leo is back. This time, take care of him for good." He ordered.

- "Done." The android smiled.

The evil genius held his hand out for a high-five, but Marcus walked past him.

- "Really, dude? You're just gonna leave your creator hanging like that?" Douglas shouted after his son.

- "You know, for a bad guy, he's not that scary. He looks like a porcupine, and he whines like a toddler." Maddie whispered to her best friends, who snickered.

- "What?" The evil genius asked the bionic trio.

- "Nothing, you just look ridiculous." Adam smiled.

Douglas rolled his eyes and walked away.

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

In front of Marcus' house, Leo was trying to find a way to open the hidden door.

- "There's gotta be some sort of trigger mechanism to make the hidden entryway appear." The short boy said.

- "Why don't you try banging your little wagon up against it?" Eddy suggested in the boy's watch.

- "Enough with the wagon!" The Dooley boy shouted.

The entryway appeared and Marcus walked out.

- "Hello, Leo." The android said. Leo turned around and screamed. "Sorry you came all this way, but uh, we're kind of busy." He chuckled, before being serious. "And frankly, I've had it with you."

Invisible Maddie tried to open a portal to go, outside, ignoring the fact that she will expose herself, but nothing happened.

- "Chase, I can't open a portal." She whispered low enough only for him to hear.

- "What? How?" Chase murmured at the same volume.

- "I don't know. I don't know everything about my powers." The invisible girl replied. "But there has to be something in his technology that blocks my teleportation."

- "This is bad." The genius boy looked around, nervous.

- "Yeah, no kidding." The Matthews girl sassed.

- "Not the time to be sassy." The youngest Davenport replied.

- "Says the sassiest person ever existed." The blue-eyed girl crossed her arms.

- "Shush." The green hazel-eyed boy rolled his eyes, amused.

- "Oh, yeah? Well, I've got this." The short boy held up a weapon and Marcus sent it flying with his molecular kinesis.

- "No. You had that." He replied.

- "Oh, yeah? Well, I've still got all of these." The Dooley boy gestured to the wagon. The android disintegrated all the weapons with his heat vision. "No!"

- "Goodbyes are tough, Leo, so I'll make this easy." Marcus electrocuted Leo, sending him flying into the bushes.

- "No!" Donald shouted.

- "Leo!" The younger bionic siblings yelled.

First, mom and now, Leo. Invisible Maddie thought. I can't do this without them.

The bionic brothers stood there in shock while Bree hugged her father.

- "Poor Leo. He was trying to save us." She said, with tears in her eyes as she pulled away from her father.

- "He tried to warn us about Marcus, and we ignored him." Chase sighed, as tears formed in his eyes. "Mads..." He held the hand of the invisible girl, who still hadn't moved.

She probably blames us. He thought. Blames me. It's my fault. I should've believed him.

- "When I get out of here, I'm taking you and Marcus down." Adam said to his creator.

- "Good luck with that. Once I press this, it'll activate your Triton apps and I'll control you. Permanently." Douglas explained.

Good luck with that. The Matthews girl rolled her eyes.

- "No!" The genius boy yelled.

- "Stop!" The bionic girl shouted.

- "Do Chase first!" The tall guy exclaimed and hid behind his younger brother as their sister hit behind him.

The evil genius pressed the button as the bionic trio grunted and tried to shield themselves but nothing happened. So, he tried a second time but nothing. And a third time but still nothing happened.

- "Marcus, did you put batteries in this thing!" Douglas yelled.

- "Ha!" Donald laughed. "I went in their chips and put a block on your app a long time ago. Ooh, it is so good watching you eat it!" He danced and hit the bars of electronic jail cell. "Ow!"

- "Smells like burn flesh." Invisible Maddie whispered to the green hazel-eyed boy, who snickered.

- "Very clever, Donny." The evil genius sat at his computer. "But I'll get around it. I've always been a better programmer than you. There, see? Only eight minutes till my cypher key decrypts your amateur block and activates the Triton app!" He exclaimed happily.

He had to open his mouth. The invisible alien girl shook her head.

- "What're you gonna do? Call Mommy?" Douglas mocked. "If you do, don't tell her I'm alive." He replied, scared, before walking away.

- "Plus, do it, your mother is scary." The Matthews girl said.

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

In the meanwhile, Leo was still unconscious in the bushes.

- "Oh, Leo! Why? Why? Why didn't you leave me at home?" Eddy cried. The short boy woke up. "Aaaah! He's a zombie!"

- "I'm not a zombie." The Dooley boy replied.

- "Aaah! He doesn't know he's a zombie!" The home system yelled.

- "Luckily, one of big D's protective vests saved me." Leo lifted his shirt to show the vest, under it. "He made modifications with Claire, so they can resist Dee's powers. If they can resist her powers, they can definitely resist bionics. We have to rescue them. There's only one thing left to do." He walked away.

- "Give up and walk away? Good plan." Eddy replied. The short boy threw the home system in his watch to the ground. "Ow! Great. You walk around the block and cool off! I'll wait here!"

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

Later, in the lair, the team and the father were trying to find a way to escape.

- "Guys, there's only four minutes left until the block is decrypted. We have to get out of here." Bree said.

- "If we could find a way to deflect one of these beams, we could take out the control console and deactivate the laser source." Donald explained. "I don't suppose anybody has a mirror on them."

- "If any of us had a mirror on them, it'd be you." The bionic girl replied.

- "True." Invisible Maddie nodded.

- "There must be something we can use." Chase answered.

- "Well, I can't think on an empty stomach." Adam took out a granola bar from his boot.

- "You brought a granola bar?" The genius boy asked, in disbelief.

- "Yup. Thanks for taking my suggestion on the snack holster." The tall guy smiled at his father.

- "That was supposed to be for a weapon." The father replied.

- "Oi, this one with the weapons." The oldest sibling said.

The Matthews girl grabbed the wrapper of the granola bar.

- "Oh, hey, we can use this as a reflective surface." She smiled and gave it to Bree.

- "Good idea, M." The bionic girl smiled.

- "Yes, but it will never withstand the intensity of these beams. We need something to support it. Something hard and flat." The scientist explained.

- "How about Adam's head?" The green hazel-eyed boy smiled widely.

The invisible alien girl chuckled.

- "What about your belt buckle?" Bree suggested.

- "Yes!" Donald removed his belt buckle from his belt. "Wait, this is custom." He said, sadly.

- "Toddler." The genius girl rolled her eyes.

- "Really?" The bionic girl frowned. The father gave her the belt buckle. "There." She put the wrapper over the belt buckle. "Now we've got a mirror."

- "Hey, step aside, Bree. Let the big boys take care of this." The mission leader took the mirror out of her hands.

- "Oh, okay. When are they getting here?" The Davenport girl smirked.

- "Ew. Not you, Chase, come on!" Invisible Maddie exclaimed. "You're better than that. Ugh!"

Chase tried to aim the mirror and struggled.

- "Without my bionics, I could never figure out the precise angle." He said. "We're just gonna have to...guesstimate." He gagged, in disgust.

- "Oh!" Everyone replied, simultaneously.

- "Look, we can't get this wrong. We only have one shot." Donald said.

- "Yeah, no pressure." The green hazel-eyed boy sassed and held the makeshift mirror up to the beams of the cell.

- "Or you could use the mind of another genius." The alien girl rolled her eyes.

- "Right." The genius boy gave the mirror to his best friend. "You got this, Mads." He smiled, softly.

- "Tilt back on the z-axis." Donald said.

- "I know." The genius girl replied and put the mirror in front of the lasers, and the cells beams disappeared. "There." She gave the mirror to the father.

- "And that's how you get it done, boys. YOLO!" Bree smiled.

- "Our bionics are back." The mission leader smiled.

- "Come on, let's get out of here." The bionic girl replied.

Douglas walked back in, clapping, with Marcus.

- "Bravo. But just 'cause a dog gets out of his cage doesn't mean he's going for a walk." He said.

- "Wait, you have a dog? Where, where, where, where, where?" Adam asked, excited.

Donald rolled his eyes and put himself, in front of his children.

- "Douglas. You're not getting these kids." He said.

Aw. Invisible Maddie smiled.

- "Wrong again, Donny." The evil genius replied. "Look, the decryption is complete." He pointed at the computer screen. "Now I'll have total control of their..." The father kicked the remote out of his brother's hands. "Ow! Ow, man, not cool! What're you wearing, clogs?" He asked as he held his hand in pain, before charging at his older brother.

The brothers started fighting.

- "Guys, run!" Donald yelled.

- "We're not leaving without you!" The bionic girl replied.

- "Just go!" The father shouted.

The bionic trio started to run out.

- "Marcus, stop them!" Douglas ordered.

Marcus super speeded in front of the trio, blocking the exit.

- "Out of our way, Marcus." Chase ordered.

- "Not a chance. I'm more powerful than all of you." The android replied.

Than us? Maybe. Than Mads? Not even close. The genius boy thought.

- "I wouldn't bet on that." Maddie smirked as she turned visible.

What is she doing? The green hazel-eyed boy thought.

- "Maddie?" Marcus frowned.

The alien girl waved her fingers at him.

- "Oh, he's lying. I haven't seen him at the gym once." Adam tried to hit Marcus, who picked him up and tried to throw him to the ground.

The Matthews girl punched his stomach, making him let go of the tall. The blue-eyed girl caught him with her telekinetic powers, before he hit the floor. She put him down, gently.

- "Adam!" Bree ran towards her older brother to check on him.

- "You have powers?" The android asked, in disbelief.

- "Surprise!" Maddie exclaimed as she punched his chin.

Marcus punched the Matthews girl's cheek.

The youngest Davenport closed his fist, in anger. No one touches her.

The alien girl super speeded around the android and pushed from behind. She, then, super speeded towards the older brothers Davenport as they continued to fight, across from their children.

- "Hey, Douglas." She punched him in his ribs.

- "You gave her bionics?" Douglas asked his brother, in disbelief.

Donald and Maddie looked at each other.

- "Yes!" They replied, simultaneously.

- "You're not the only genius." The alien girl pushed the evil genius towards his brother, who punched him in the face.

- "No one touches my brother and my best friend, you freak!" The mission leader shouted.

Chase tried to hit Marcus, who tossed him across the room. The genius boy landed and clang on to the railing, several feet above the floor.

- "Chase!" The Matthews girl yelled.

The android super speeded up to him.

- "Let's make this fun, huh?" Marcus held the green hazel-eyed boy's hands on the railing and kicked him in the chest, before walking over to a control panel and hitting a button.

A hole opened in the floor with a grinder below the mission leader, who screamed.

- "Who has that in their house?" He yelled.

- "This place used to be a sausage factory. You could fit a whole cow in there!" The android chuckled.

- "Chase, hold on!" The bionic girl yelled and helped her older brother's off the floor. "Adam, go see if any of those buttons will close the floor." She ordered.

- "Ooh, buttons." The tall guy walked over to the control panel, excited.

Marcus knocked one of Chase's arms off the railing. Bree super speeded up to the balcony and pushed the android, out of her way, before grabbing her younger brother's hand and tried to pull him up. The android threw his fist at her and she stepped back.

- "Hey, I think I got it!" The oldest sibling grinned. Flames shot up from the floor opening. "Nope, still working on it!"

- "Work faster!" The mission leader yelled. "Mads, I could really use your help!" He grabbed the railing back with his second hand.

Maddie looked at him and then, at the father.

- "Go, I got this." Donald replied as he continued to fight his brother over the remote.

The bionic girl charged at Marcus, delivering a punch. The android pushed her back against the wall.

- "Nice try, cupcake." Marcus replied.

- "Gross." The alien girl flew above the opened hole. "Chase! Do you trust me?" She yelled, feet under him.

Bree glared at the android, angrily. Marcus knocked Chase's arm off, again.

With my life. He thought.

- "With my life!" He yelled.

- "Then, let go!" The Matthews girl shouted.

- "Are you insane?" The genius boy yelled.

- "Chase! Trust me!" The blue-eyed girl shouted.

The green hazel-eyed boy took a deep breath and let go of the railing. He screamed as he felt himself, falling for a second, before Maddie caught him in her arms. Chase looked around and saw her arms around his waist.

- "Are we flying?" He frowned.

- "You are a master of the obvious." The alien girl chuckled as she flew them down. She, gently, put the boy she loved on the floor. "There you go."

- "Thank you." The genius boy sighed, relieved.

The bionic girl kicked the android's leg, causing him to fall to the ground. Bree ran towards him. Marcus lifted his legs and kicked her stomach, knocking her to the floor as she groaned in pain.

The android super speeded down to the first floor. The Davenport girl super speeded to the main floor where she joins her brothers and her best friend.

- "You may be strong, but let's see you take on all four of us." The tall guy replied.

The team walked around him.

- "Go ahead, creep. Take your best shot." Chase said, in a fighting stance.

- "Gladly." Marcus raised his arms to prepare himself to electrocute the four.

Maddie used her freezing breath and froze the android.

- "Well, that's... over." Adam replied.

The alien girl chuckled.

- "Good job, M." Bree patted her best friend's back.

The genius boy smiled, proudly.

Donald and Douglas continued to fight.

- "After all these years, we're still fighting over the remote?" Donald groaned.

The remote fell to the floor below and Douglas rolled off the walkway and grabbed it.

- "Ha! Now their bionics are all mine!" He exclaimed.

- "No!" The father yelled.

Leo crashed through the ceiling in the exoskeleton, making Douglas let go of the remote. Marcus made the ice around him, melt with his heat vision.

- " Oh, great!" The Matthews girl rolled her eyes.

- "What the...?" Douglas said.

- "Exoskeleton in the house! Or whatever you call this funky place." The short boy said.

- "Leo!" Maddie yelled, with tears in her eyes.

- "Leo, you're alive!" The father exclaimed, happily.

- "Ugh!" The android hid his face, embarrassed.

- "I ask you to do one thing!" The evil genius yelled at his son.

Donald jumped down from the walkway and broke the remote on the floor.

- "You broke it!" Douglas whined.

- "Ha!" The father mocked.

- "You always break my toys!" The youngest man got up and grabbed his older brother's hair.

- "Not the hair. Not the hair." The older man said, in pain, before grabbing his younger brother's hair, as well.

- "You, not the hair! Ow!" Douglas complained.

The Dooley boy fired lasers at Marcus through the exoskeleton.

- "How do you like me now, Marcus?" He smirked.

- "Still not a fan." The android super speeded over and pushed Leo to the floor.

- "So, this thing can bust through walls and shoot lasers, but it can't get back up?" The short boy asked, annoyed.

- "Well, it's a prototype." Donald defended, while his brother mocked him.

- "You just don't seem to go away, Leo. This time I'm gonna finish you for good." Marcus activated his saw fingers and the short boy screamed.

- "Leo's alive!" Chase yelled.

- "Nuh-uh. Not for long." The android replied.

- "Get away from him!" Adam shouted, in a deep voice.

The electricity started to crackle and surged around him.

- "What's going on?" The genius boy asked.

- "I think he just discovered his new ability." Bree smiled.

- "I think we should get behind him!" The mission leader replied.

- "Or." The alien girl put a shield around the younger bionic siblings, before wrapping her cape around Donald to protect him.

The tall guy sent out a blast wave and Marcus was knocked the floor. The room started to shake and an alarm blared.

- "That was awesome!" Adam yelled. "Wow. All that from one granola bar." He smiled.

- "What's going on? Are we winning?" Leo asked.

- "Yep." The Matthews girl smirked.

Douglas slipped out undetected.

- "We gotta get out of here! The whole place is coming down!" Chase yelled.

Maddie lifted the exoskeleton with her best friend in it.

- "Where's Douglas?" The father asked.

- "No we have to go now." The tall guy grabbed his father's should and pulled him back.

- "You. Are not. Going. ANYWHERE!" Marcus formed an energy ball.

- "Shut the fuck up!" The alien girl shouted and took off her glasses as she fired her heat vision at his hand and burned it off.

- "Marcus! Look out!" The genius boy yelled as he pointed to the ceiling.

The android was crushed by falling rubble.

- "I am not going to miss him." The Matthews girl chuckled, before opening a portal to the lab.

- "Let's go!" The mission leader yelled and gestured to the portal.

The whole lair collapsed. Marcus's android hand stuck out of the rubble and slumped.

He was dead.

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

Later, in the lab, the teenagers sighed at the end of this exhausting day.

- "That was fun." Maddie smiled and sat on the cyber desk, happily.

- "What?" Bree frowned.

- "How?" Adam asked.

- "Not the fight." The blue-eyed girl replied. "I mean, that is fun to being able to fight beside you."

- "Yeah. It was cool." Chase smiled as he sat on the cyber desk, next to her.

- "You're not mad at me, anymore?" Maddie asked.

- "You saved my life. I can't be mad." The genius boy, slightly, nudged his best friend, who rolled her eyes, amused. "No, but seriously, I get it. You respect people's privacy."

- "Yeah, besides, you're right. It wasn't your place to tell us." The bionic girl replied.

- "I'm glad." The alien girl sighed, in relief.

- "Does that mean you see everything in someone's mind?" The tall guy asked.

- "Yep." The Matthews girl smiled.

Everything? The green hazel-eyed boy panicked.

- "Everything?" He blushed slightly.

The blue-eyed girl saw his panic expression and pressed her lips together as she nodded.

- "Basically, she saw all of us naked, starting from when we were babies until when she met us." Leo explained.

- "What?" The bionic trio asked, simultaneously.

Maddie pressed her lips, together and stayed silent. Chase avoided her eyes as his face and neck reddened.

- "Why didn't you anything?" The Davenport smacked her best friend's knee.

- "It's not really something people like to hear!" The alien girl replied. "Or see." She shuddered, in disgust. "I saw things that give me nightmares."

- "Like, Perry naked." The short boy gagged.

- "Ew." The Matthews girl shuddered.

- "Oooh." The bionic trio frowned, in disgust.

- "You, poor thing." Bree patted her best friend's back.

- "You saw us naked?" Chase asked, still panicked.

I must look like a tomato. He thought.

- "Everyone." Maddie replied.

I can't look at her eyes. The genius boy looked at his hands on his lap, nervously.

- "It has advantages, too." The alien girl explained.

The green hazel-eyed boy listened, carefully.

- "Like what?" The tall guy asked.

- "I have all of people's knowledge, on a lot of things. Like from chefs, scientists, teachers, inventors, lawyers, judges, writers, and more. I absorbed all of their knowledge and with my eidetic memory, it's engraved in my head." The Matthews girl explained.

That must be so interesting. The youngest Davenport thought.

- "That's really cool." The bionic girl smiled.

- "Yeah, plus, I can tell when someone has bad intentions or not. Like Marcus." The blue-eyed girl said.

- "But how did you know he was an android?" The Davenport girl asked.

- "I couldn't read his mind since he's not a living being. So, I felt his pulse and used my x-ray vision to look at his skeleton." Maddie explained, happily.

- "That's creepy, but cool." Adam replied.

- "How are you not exhausted?" Leo asked his best friend as he disinfected his cuts.

- "Kryptonian's powers." The alien girl shrugged.

She saw me naked. Chase thought. She saw me naked! SHE SAW ME NAKED! Oh my gosh. He hid his red face in his hands.

Poor boy is freaking out. The Matthews girl looked at him.

The father walked in, holding an ice pack on his shoulder.

Thank you, a distraction. The genius boy sighed as he looked at his father but ignored his best friend's gaze. Stop looking at me. His face reddened.

Every time I think his face can't be redder, he proves me wrong. The blue-eyed girl snickered.

Of course, she's laughing. The green hazel-eyed boy rolled his eyes.

- "Guys, I just wanted to tell you. I'm really proud of what you did today. And I'm really proud of who you've become." Donald said. "You're heroes. That's all I ever wanted you to be. You too, Leo."

- "Thanks, Big D. Sorry about your exoskeleton." The short boy smiled, awkwardly. "You can take it out of my allowance."

- "It cost a million dollars." The scientist replied.

- "Easy come, easy go." The Dooley boy answered.

- "Most of all, I'm sorry I lied to you." Donald said.

- "You don't have to apologize. We get it." Bree smiled.

- "Well, at least now you know Douglas is your real father." The scientist replied.

- "No. He's not." Chase got down of the cyber desk. "He may have created us, but you made us who we are. You are our father." He explained.

- "Come here." The father, with tears in his eyes, gestured at his children to come into his open arms.

The siblings smiled and complied.

- "Wow, this is the first time we've ever seen you cry." Adam said.

- "I'm not crying, I'm in pain. I think I cracked a rib. It really hurts. Really." Donald explained, as he held his ribs, in pain.

The siblings, all, backed away.

- "Liar. Just admit it." Maddie replied.

- "Fine. I'm crying because I'm happy that you called me your father." The father said. "Happy?" He asked the alien girl.

- "Very." The Matthews girl smiled.

The siblings chuckled and hugged, happily, their father, who smiled in the hug.

- "Come here, Maddison. You're family, too." Donald replied.

Maddie walked towards the five and they, quickly, pulled her into the hug.

Later, in the lab, everyone, except Maddie and Donald, was in the pajamas.

- "It is so nice to be home in a warm, toasty, sterile lab." Chase smiled.

- "Hey, congrats on discovering the new ability." Bree said to her older brother.

- "I know. It's gonna come in super handy on bowling night." Adam smirked.

- "Leo... I'm proud of you. You really stepped up and proved yourself to be a true mission specialist. Way to fill my shoes." The scientist patted his son's shoulder, proudly.

- "Aww, Big D. I could never fill your shoes." Leo smiled, before looking at his father's feet. "Or fit in them. Some really tiny kickers, man."

- "You know what, I'm gonna let that slide since you saved the day." The father said. "Eddy, let's call it a night. Eddy?"

- "Uh-oh." The short boy replied and smiled, awkwardly, at his father. "I may or may not have forgotten him in a watch, in front of the house..."

- "What?" Donald yelled.

- "Let me just..." The alien girl opened a portal, walked through it, and came back with the watch. "There you go." She gave the watch to the father.

- "Thank you." The scientist said. "Are you okay, Eddy?" He asked.

- "He abandoned me!" Eddy yelled.

- "I know." Donald walked out of the lab with the watch.

- "They have an odd relationship." The Matthews girl said.

- "Yes." The four siblings replied, simultaneously.

- "Goodnight, guys." Leo walked out of the lab.

- "Goodnight." The bionic girl answered.

- "Night night." The tall guy went to his capsule.

- "Goodnight." The blue-eyed said.

- "Night." The green hazel-eyed boy replied and walked towards his capsule.

- "Not you, mister. We need to talk." Maddie grabbed his hand and opened a portal, before walking through it with him.

- "I love how she didn't give him a choice." Bree laughed.

- "He doesn't want to talk, so she makes him." Adam chuckled. "She's perfect for him."

- "Yep." The bionic girl smiled. "And we, all, know it."

- "Hopefully, one day, he will, too." The tall guy replied.

In the meanwhile, the two geniuses stepped onto the roof.

- "Mads, what are you doing?" Chase asked, without looking at her.

- "Look at me, Chase!" Maddie yelled.

The Davenport boy, surprised, looked at her.

- "Mads..." He whispered.

- "You can't continue to avoid me. I saw you naked, months ago! Get over it!" The Matthews girl yelled.

- "How?" The bionic boy shouted. "You read my mind! You saw how much I complex on my body! And all this time, you had seen me naked!"

- "I saw and see everybody naked!" The alien girl shouted back. "I don't care!"

- "But I do!" The green hazel-eyed boy yelled. "I do." He whispered.

The blue-eyed girl sighed.

- "Chase, when we met, you were still a kid. You didn't have an adult body, no offense, but you still don't. You're growing." She explained. "I saw the body of a kid! Stop being embarrassed about it!" She exclaimed, annoyed.

- "I don't know how!" Chase replied.

- "The same way, I do." Maddie smiled. "I mean, I saw Davenport naked, and I'm not acting weird around him."

- "Did you saw him...?" The Davenport boy started, not daring to finish his sentence.

- "If you're talking about what he could do with his hand or someone else, then, yes, yes, I did." The Matthews girl nodded.

Oh my gosh. The bionic boy blushed, slightly.

- "How can you act normal around him? Around anyone! After seeing all that?" He asked.

- "Because it's normal. I don't care. A lot of people have sex, or masturbate, or I know it's gonna be a shock, but shower. Wow." The alien girl sassed.

- "Mads..." The green hazel-eyed boy rolled his eyes as his cheeks reddened after hearing those words.

- "What?" The blue-eyed girl laughed. "It's true. And don't pretend like these words shocked you, we both know what kind of romance books you read." She smirked.

- "Yeah." Chase scoffed, blushing.

- "So, are you gonna stop avoiding me?" Maddie asked.

- "Yeah." The Davenport boy sighed. "But, give me time to stop being awkward about it."

- "Sure. Just, don't ignore me." The Matthews girl replied.

- "I promise." The bionic boy smiled.

- "Thank you." The alien girl smiled, back.

- "You do want to look at the stars, again?" The green hazel-eyed boy asked.

- "I thought you needed time?" The blue-eyed girl frowned.

- "I just have to live with the fact that you saw me naked." Chase sighed and laid down.

- "Alright." Maddie laid next to him, without touching him. "And, Chase?"

- "Mmm?" The Davenport boy looked at his best friend, who was still looking at the sky.

- "You have no reason to complex on your body. Or anything about you, really." The Matthews girl replied.

The bionic boy blushed, brightly and quickly, looked back at the stars. Butterflies grew stronger in his stomach as his heart beat faster than ever.

- "T... Thanks." He whispered.

- "You're welcome." The alien girl smiled as she looked at his red cheeks.

Chase turned to look at his best friend.

Maddie smirked.

The green hazel-eyed boy looked away as he rolled his eyes, amused. She's making me blush on purpose.

- "You're evil." He said.

- "Maybe." The blue-eyed girl shrugged, before looking back at the stars.

The Davenport boy smiled widely as he bit his lips, trying to stop his smile from going wider. He, slowly, moved his hand to grab hers.

The Matthews girl smiled as she melted under his touch.

They stayed there, in silence, just enjoying each other's company for hours.

A.N: 6111 words.

So, Maddie exposed her powers.

She pretended to be bionic.

And, we got more of Chaddie looking at the stars...
