Drabble 17
After a brilliant day at Davenport industries, the last thing that Donald Davenport had expected to come home to was the mess that the lab had become.
The five, four and three year old were all relatively tidy, mainly because of Bree's super speed and Chase's fear of not following instructions, but when the trademarked yellow barrels were scattered across the floor, and the toys that each bionic child owned were scattered on the floor, Donald knew something bad had happened.
Donald started looking for Adam, Bree and Chase, eventually finding them huddled together in the small section of the lab dedicated to their toys and activities. Chase was sleeping on Adam's lap, and Bree seemed very scared.
"Guys, what happened?" Donald questioned as he knelt down beside the two older bionics. "Why's the lab so messy?"
"A scary robot came through the wall and made Chasey cry." Adam explained calmly, even though it felt more like a front then genuine bravery.
"And he said some bad things to all of us. I brought Chase in here, and Adam threw stuff at him so he would go away." Bree added. "He was really mean, daddy."
Then it clicked. Donald had forgotten to tell the kids about Eddy. "He's my smart home system. He keeps all four of us safe."
"Then why did he make Chasey cry?" Bree asked with tears in her eyes just recalling the robot.
"I don't know. But I'll talk to Eddy about not making any of you cry." Donald explained before lifting Chase into his arms. "I'm gonna put him in his capsule, can you two clean up the lab, please?"
The four and five year old nodded as they enthusiastically started cleaning their toys up while Donald got Chase situated in his capsule before opening Eddy's command center to tweak his personality a little. But, unbeknownst at the time, with three small children constantly wondering what you're doing, reprogramming gets immensely harder.
