Episode 4| The Superhero Code
At Davenport Tower
Oliver is in the kitchen with Bree, Chase, Harper and Skylar.
"Lunch is ready!" Oliver says "I'll grab the plates" Chase says "Oh, just like you grabbed the heart of the girl I love?" Oliver says bothered "wait what!?" Harper laughs.
"Still not over me getting Skylar her powers back, huh?" Chase says "Nope. And you'll notice your tomato slice is very thin" Oliver says.
"Wow, you showed him" Bree sarcastically says "Yeah, I also skimped on his lettuce" Oliver says "Oh no, stop the madness."Bree says sarcastically again.
"Are you not bothered by that?" Oliver asks Harper "Sorry I don't understand, should I?" Harper says.
"Yes! I mean...Chase is your boyfriend!" Oliver says "yeah I know who he is!" Harper says, Oliver nods "which is exactly why I don't worry about...whatever you're worried about" Harper says.
"And you don't have to, sweetheart" Chase says hugging her from behind and kissing her neck.
"Stop putting things in her head!" Chase tells annoyed to Oliver "don't worry, you know me, nobody manipulate me" Harper says proudly "oh believe me I know" Chase says, she smiles at him and the two sit at the table.
"I will get the plates" Bree says, opens cupboard, plates fall out in pieces "Why are they all broken? What happened?" Bree says.
"Well, I was doing the dishes, and I accidentally broke them with my super strength" Oliver says "That still doesn't answer why you put them back in the cabinet" Skylar says.
"Because now we have service for 36 tiny people" Oliver says, Kaz walks in "Hey guys" Kaz says
"Hey, Kaz, I didn't smell you come in. Did you shower?" Bree says "Yeah, I had to. My younger brother Kyle's coming to visit... and the pen I was chewing on exploded all over my face" Kaz says.
"I didn't know you had a little brother" Chase says "Yeah, well, growing up, Kyle and I never really bonded, but now that he's older and I moved away, I think he misses me" Kaz says.
"I can't see this happening to anyone" Harper says "I'll make sure you stay the hell away from him, This is our chance to finally become best buds, So this is not a good time for you to go aroun nod smearing me" Kaz says.
"to be honest I never smeared you you do it yourself, I just point it out" Harper smirk "you'll never make me dislike you, but keep trying" Kaz says "keep kidding yourself" Harper says doorbell chimes
"That's him" Kaz will open the door for Kyle "Kyle!" Kaz says "The bionic people!" Kyle tosses his backpack to Kaz and runs over to the rest of the group.
"Wow, if I didn't know any better, I'd think you're more excited to see them than me" Kaz laughs "I am" Kyle says greeting Bree, Chase and Harper.
"oh look Kaz,who came crawling right up to me!" Harper says, Kaz gives her a snarky smile.
......................................................................
"So when my mom told me that Kaz was an intern with the bionic people, I just had to come see for myself" Kyle says.
"Okay, well, now you saw 'em so, what do you say you and I get outta here and take our chances eating some street meat" Kaz says.
"Kaz, do you mind? The grown-ups are talking. I can't believe I'm sitting next to the Chase Davenport. You're my favorite bionic hero" Kyle says "I get that all the time" Chase says.
"Really? 'Cause I've never hear that.Seriously. Never. Not one time" Skylar says "Wow. She does not like you" Oliver says.
"You're Harper, right?" Kyle says "yes you can call me Harper Davenport" Harper says proudly "Davenport?" Oliver asks "Davenport!" Harper says.
"Actually, she's a Davenport by chip, I'll explain later" Chase says, he smiles, putting his hand on Harper's leg, she feels a slight shiver when he does that, she smiles at him.
"Oh, yeah,and you're the girl my brother...""Woah! okay Kyle! we get
it you like Bionic heroes" Kaz laughs nervously "Uh.. no, what were you going to say!?' Chase asks annoyed, Kyle shrugs.
Chase rolls his eyes at Kaz and starts to gently rub his hand on Harper's thigh, she pays attention to his hand and smiles to herself.
Bree Walking in "Okay, Kyle, your room's all set" Bree says.
"Thanks. Wait 'til my friends hear that Bionic Bree made my bed" Kyle Runs upstairs "Or more accurately, Bionic Bree threw your backpack into an empty room" Bree says.
"Great. So this entire time, I thought he was excited to come see me, but really, he was using me to get to you guys" Kaz says, Chase Chuckles "Yeah, how about that?" Chase says.
"Come on, can you blame him? Who would want to hang out with the intern?" Chase says.
"Why did you tell him that?" Oliver says "I was trying to come up with a cover story. It was either that or chauffeur. I didn't think I could pull off the hat" Kaz says.
"You could say you're our maid!" Harper laughs "you meant butler" Kaz says "no I didn't" Harper laughs.
"Why am I even lyin' to him? I'm just gonna tell him that I'm a superhero" Kaz says.
"You can't. The superhero code says that no hero can reveal his or her true identity, thus exposing all heroes' existence to the general public" Skylar says "Yeah, but can't I make an exception for my brother?" Kaz says.
"No. People fear the unknown. If they find out that we have powers, they could turn against us" Skylar says.
"She's right. But just to be clear, there is no code that says superheroes can't date each other" Oliver says "I'll add it in" Skylar says.
"Okay, yeah, but what about these three? The whole world knows they're bionic, and they're pretty much celebrities" Kaz says.
"Yeah, now. When we were first outed, everybody freaked. And the only reason they came around is because of my likable charm and charisma" Bree says "Funny, that's not how I remember that story" Harper says.
"that's what happened! My charm and charisma!" Bree says irritably "Yeah, neither of which exist" Chase says as he removes his hand from Harper's leg and stands up, Harper looks at her leg for a second, crossing her legs and taking a deep breath hiding a slight disappointment.
"We were able to explain our abilities with science. Unlike fire, ice, and ET over here" Chase says, Skylar glares at him "Please don't zap me" Chase says, he sits down again.
"I'll take a zap. Or anything at this point" Oliver says "Kyle is my only younger brother. He won't tell anybody that I have superpowers. I promise" Kaz says "Sorry, Kaz. No" Skylar says.
"Kaz, you do not have to be a superhero to bond with your little brother. Just spend some time with him" Bree says, Kyle comes back "Well Bree, I can see making beds is not one of your bionic abilities" Kyle says.
Bree Chuckles ironically "He's so cute.How long is he staying?" Bree says.
"Hey, how about I give you the grand tour, huh?" Kyle says "Okay. Can Chase come?" Kyle ask "Oh no, I'm sure he's got plans" Kaz says.
"Nope! I don't!" Chase gets up excited "I don't, right?" Chase quickly ask Harper "No" Harper says "No I don't!" Chase follows them, Harper smiles at them leaving as she puts her hand on her thigh thoughtfully.
......................................................................
A while later, Oliver enters the room talking to himself pretending to be talking to Skylar.
"oh Skylar are you here? Oh what is it Oliver you look upset? Oh it was just an argument I had with Bree, But I'm already better, with you everything is better, oh Oliver!" Oliver sits on the couch.
"I'm being honest, Skylar you know I love you, do you?, Yes! Since the day I met you I..." Oliver dramatizes, Harper turns off the invisibility app revealing her sitting on the couch next to him.
Oliver still doesn't see her, Harper holds a book as she listens quietly and intently to Oliver acting out.
"I love you too Oliver, Skylar let me finish, from the day I met you I knee that...""that what?" Harper interrupts him "Aaaaahh!!" Oliver jumps in fright
"Keep going it was getting interesting" Harper says "how long have you been there!?" Oliver says "Oh long enough, I just came here to get my book that I had forgotten, but then I overheard your conversation with Skylar Imaginary, and I saw that this was way more interesting than my book" Harper laughs.
"Cool...now I'm going to scream into a pillow" Oliver says "no no! Relax, I'm not going to tell anyone or make fun of you....and believe me that's a huge sacrifice!" Harper says "Oh okay" Oliver says.
"like a HUGE sacrifice!" Harper says "I got it!!" Oliver says, Harper goes into the kitchen.
"I swore if I got Skylar's powers back everything would work out, she would fall in love and we would live happily ever after, we would be a superhero couple, you know like wonder woman and superman" Oliver sighs.
"that's cute, too bad you didn't make it right" Harper says "No cuz Chase had to be a smart guy for her!" Oliver rolls his eyes "Ahg Oliver, stop it!" Harper says.
"Aren't you jealous of him?" Oliver says "No! I'm not jealous, there's nothing for me to be jealous of and jealousy is superficial, it's childish" Harper says "wow! Okay...You kinda stepped all over me now but I can take it" Oliver says.
"What? You want me to be jealous, okay, who does Skylar think she is for... doing nothing but accepting help!" Harper says sarcastically, Oliver frowns.
"Oh i'm so jealous i could kill her,Want me to do it!?" Harper says pretending to be mad "No I get your point, when it comes to you it's better that you stay cool" Oliver says scared Harper smirk.
"You're making things up, you don't have to worry about Chase, because he's in a serious, healthy, stable relationship with a girl who loves him enough to stop wearing high heels for him!" Harper says.
"Oh that's why? I noticed that you're the only one of the girls that... that's not the point.." Oliver says.
"If it makes you any better, I think you and Skylar make a great couple!" Harper says "Really?" Oliver says.
"yes! I mean she would be lucky to have a guy like you, trust me I know there's nothing better than dating a nerd" Harper laughs "when you say nerd do you mean you or Chase?" Oliver ask, Harper rolls her eyes.
"The thing is...you just have to be yourself, and be honest with her" Harper says "I already tried" Oliver says.
"sorry let me express myself better, be yourself, but not the scary self who talks to himself" Harper says "Is this your advice?" Oliver says.
"yeah look I'm very observant, and I think...she might like you too" Harper says "what!? Really!?" Oliver says
excitedly "calm down Superman!" Harper says "okay!" Oliver sits.
"So the thing is for you to relax and eventually she will gain the confidence to give you a chance. maybe she's just not
ready yet" Harper says.
"you think?" Oliver says "yeah trust me i never make mistakes," Harper smirk "never?" Oliver says "uh well let's just say I always figure everything out before anyone else so yeah I'm never wrong!" Harper smiles proudly.
"yeah, I really have nothing to worry about, you and Chase are soul mates!!" Oliver says "Aw thanks!" Harper wrinkles her nose "okay....if you take that as a compliment" Oliver leaves, Harper frowns.
......................................................................
Harper is in the living room reading, Skylar goes downstairs hiding something.
"Harper!" Skylar says "Hey Skylar!" Harper says "Uh Bree isn't around is she?" Skylar ask worried "No! Why?"
Harper closes the book.
"I kind of, ripped her purse" Skylar shows the purse ripped in two "you ripped it? Or you explode it!?" Harper says "I know, what do I do?" Skylar says.
"I'd say you could sew it back together but you've deteriorated the purse" Harper picks up part of the bag "How does that happen?" Harper ask "I've been having a little trouble with my powers since Igot them back" Skylar says.
"Oh so you broke Bree's tablet too?" Harper says "maybe" Skylar says "oh Skylar, relax I'll hide it for you and Bree will never know" Harper says "Seriously, would you do that?" Skylar says "sure, you think this is the first time someone has broken Bree's stuff?" Harper laughs, Skylar smiles.
"I can help you with your powers too! I mean,I don't fully understand them, but if you want I can find a way to contain them, at least on a day to day basis" Harper says "thanks" Skylar says.
"Uh... Skylar can I ask you a question?" Harper says "sure" Skylar says "just curious, but Tell me.. what do you think of Oliver?" Harper says.
"Why the question?" Skylar says "nothing, it's just that whole jealousy thing, and the fact that he doesn't hide from anyone that he loves you and it's painful to see...it got me thinking about your side of the story" Harper says "oh! he's cool!" Skylar says, Harper nods.
"Come on Skylar!" Harper says "What!?" Skylar laughs "I know what you're doing! I already did that" Harper says "Serious? Are you going to interrogate me?" Skylar says.
"yup! I just want to help you and...be a good friend" Harper says "For me or for Oliver?" Skylar says "For both of you!" Harper says, Skylar sighs.
"He's sweet and does everything for me, and he's been at it for years and it's amazing, amazing how he never gave up on me even though I'm...difficult" Skylar says "You like him!" Harper smiles.
"Of course I do!" Skylar smiles "oohhh I knew it, I never let anything slide, I
don't even know why I had any doubts, ha!, I never mistakes!!" Harper cheers, Skylar frowns.
Harper clears her throat "I mean sure you like him he's great!" Harper says, Skylar smiles "I just don't, I don't want to get his hopes up so he'll be disappointed, I'm not a normal girl I'm not even human it's complicated" Skylar says "I understand" Harper says.
"promise you won't tell him, it's better that way" Skylar says "Of course, I promise" Harper smiles, "but I think it would be nice for you to give him a chance, just a suggestion!" Harper smiles.
"I'll think about it, but thanks....I never told anyone that" Skylar says "I'm glad you trusted me" Harper opens her arms
and hugs Skylar.
"Of course you just said you're going to hide Bree's bag that I ruined... Yes. how can you be more reliable than that?" Skylar says, Harper nods.
......................................................................
Oliver sits at the kitchen bench,Bree Walk in.
"Hey, Oliver. Uh, is this a bad time? Are you still talking to pretend Skylar?" Bree ask.
"Don't be ridiculous. Can't you see she's sleeping?" Oliver says "Yeah, she's asleep, so I'm here in utter boredom with no bizarre Oliver soap opera to listen to?" Harper again turns off the invisibility app revealing her to be sitting at the table.
"Will you stop doing that!?" Oliver says "Will you stop talking to yourself?!" Harper smiles.
"Look, I should not have accused you of breaking my stuff. Especially now that I know it wasn't you" Bree says "Ha! I told you. I- I would never go around breaking people's stuff without telling them. And what kind of jerk would do that?" Oliver says "Me" Skylar says.
He turns around and sees her "Oh. Well, when you do it, it's adorable" Oliver says "It's taking me a while to get used to my powers again. And rather than admit it, I blamed you for everything I destroyed. I'm so sorry. Can you forgive me?" Skylar says.
"Wow. It's just... I mean the fact that- that you would throw me under the bus like that... Yeah, we're all good here!" Oliver says they hug.
Skylar quickly looks at Harper during the hug, Harper winks at her.
"Yay! Now things can finally get back to normal around here" Bree says "Oh, I wish I could say the same for you, Bree, but you attacked my character and accused me of lying. That's something I can never forgive" Oliver says.
"Not even if I set up daily one-on-one training sessions for you and Skylar to perfect your powers together?" Bree ask "Bring it in, old friend" Oliver says he hugs her.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why should I have to train with Oliver every day to pay for something that you did?" Skylar says "Skylar! Come on!" Harper says tilting her head in Oliver's direction, Skylar thinks
"Bring it in, old friend." Skylar says.
They hug. Then the Hyperlift opens and Kyle comes out screaming "What's wrong, Kyle?" Oliver ask "What's wrong? My brother just shot fire out of hishand!" Kyle says "What?!" all say.
Kaz and Chase step out of the Hyperlift, Chase looks a bit dazed "uh are you okay?" Harper asks putting a hand on his shoulder.
"sort of..I just got a high voltage shock!" Chase says, Harper nods and takes her hand off his shoulder,when she does this a small beam of energy transfers from him to her hand.
Chase frowns and Harper looks at her hand "I don't know what you did but it helped!" Chase says, Harper smiles, she moves her hand to make the energy disappear.
"Kyle, do not freak out" Kas says "It's a little late for that" Kyle says "Can someone explain to me why he thinks he saw something that he clearly didn't see?" Skylar says.
"I would, but after a few thousand volts of electricity passes through you, your short-term memory kinda... What's the word for goes?" Chase says.
"My brother locked himself in the mainframe cage and I had to use one of my powers to break him out" Kaz says "Wait, one of your powers? How many do you have?" Kyle says.
Kaz chuckles "Several" Kaz says,Skylar pulls him aside "Kaz, now he thinks you're a superhero" Skylar says.
"What was I supposed to do? He was in trouble. I have to tell him everything" Kaz says "What about the superhero code?" Oliver says "I have no choice. I'm sorry." Kaz says.
He Walks back to Kyle "Kyle... I've been keeping a really big secret from you and the rest of the world, and I'm not supposed to tell you because it could expose a lot of people and put them in danger but, you're my brother and I think it's time you knew the truth" Kaz says.
"Oh, I know the truth. These bionic freaks abducted you and filled you with machine parts to turn you into one of them" Kyle says "Yes, they did!" Kaz says the rest agree.
"Technically, technically I asked them for the bionics, you know, so I could help them save lives around the world" Kaz says "Right" Chase says.
"well, yeah, but you know, congratulations! You now have a bionic brother!" Kaz says "Yay! Isn't that cool?" Bree says "Yeah. I guess" Kyle says.
"I still think it was a waste of parts!" Harper smirks "she loves me..." Kaz tells Kyle quietly.
"so...bionics what you think!?" Kaz sadu "yeah I mean, it'd be a lot cooler if you were a superhero..." Kyle says.
Kaz laughs "Superhero. Do you hear this guy? Seriously, do you hear this guy?!" Kaz says.
......................................................................
Kyle is leaving and everyone follows him to the door "That was the best weekend ever" Kyle says.
"Well, as long as you promise not to tell anyone about my bionic secret, you can come back and visit whenever you want" Kaz says "Really? Thanks" Kyle hugs Kaz.
"So, when do I get my bionics?" Kyle ask "Oh, you know, I asked Chase and he said no" Kaz says.
Kaz and Kyle leave out the door "I have to say, that was pretty smart of Kaz pretending to be bionic" Skylar says.
"why we never thought about it before?" Harper says "Yeah, you should all say that when using your powers in public. It's the perfect cover" Chase says.
"All righty then. I guess from now on,
we're bionic!" Oliver suas he accidentally freezes Bree's feet.
"Seriously, Oliver? These are my new boots!" Bree says "I think you should stop buying new stuff, you would never see that happening with old boots, I'm just saying!" Harper says, Bree makes a pissed face.
"uh Sorry about that" Oliver says, Bree thinks "Eh, it's okay. Skylar was gonna ruin them anyway" Bree says.
