Episode 3: Adam's date
"okay guys! Adam, Bree I need to check your chips....and Chase I need you to go there" Mr. Devenport says entering the Lab and pointing to a map on a monitor.
"oh I think it's dangerous for Chase to go there alone I think someone...and with someone i say i, should go with him" Leo says.
"i'm just going to prevent a toxic gas leak Leo, It's something pretty simple" Chase says "If it's simple even better...one more reason why I can go!" Leo says.
"Leo no!" Mr. Davenport says "come on Big D!" Leo says "you're gonna stay here and help me with the check-up of the Adam and Bree's chips" Mr. Davenport says "Fine" Leo says rolling his eyes.
"why is Chase not getting a checkup" Adam says "Mr. Davenport had my checkup yesterday so I'm more than ready for the mission" Chase says grabbing a bag.
"careful Chase the toxic gas is highly explosive!" Mr. Davenport says "I know, I'll be fine, I won't have Adam getting in the way" Chase says "hey!" Adam says "you know what I'm
talking about!" Chase says.
"okay Chase, just go I need a break from at least one of you" Bree says fiddling with her phone "see you guys later" Chase says.
......................................................................
Chase prevents the gas leak "Okay, just another fine day of fresh air, Mission Creek!" Chase says proud of himself.
He hears a noise, "what was that?" He says, looking around, he hears another noise.
"who's there!?" Chase says.
Suddenly, a person on roller skates and a motorcycle helmet and outfit went by him quickly, tripping him and making him fall to the ground, he quickly got up and got into a fighting position.
The person stood still in front of him, can tell by the way that person is dressed, that it's a girl.
"who are you?" Chase says, the girl smirks at him, she goes with her skates, towards him.
He defends himself first, throwing her to the ground but she gathers herself and kicks him, he tries to hit her, she takes a stun baton, and give him a shock, this makes his bionics weaker, she takes advantage of this by kicking him against a wall.
Chase gets a little dizzy from the shock.
she goes towards him, and grabs his neck from behind, she somehow knows exactly where his chip is, she squeezes the back of his neck hard, it destabilizes his chip.
She holds in the other hand the stun baton that slowly approaches his face, Chase starts to stare at her scared.
He doesn't see her face but he can see a little of her eyes, he realizes that she stares into his eyes.
As she stares at him she begins to release his neck slowly, and lowers the stun baton, she gives a sigh of regret as she lets go of his neck.
Chase continues to stare at her scared and confused, both facing each other.
"Run!" She says "who are you?" Chase says.
"go and tell the others to get ready... they'll come after you as soon as they know I let you run away" she says walking away from him "who?" Chase asks.
"i've told you too much" she says "why are you letting me get away?" Chase says, not seeing the girl's face bothers him "go!" She orders.
Chase starts to run, but before, he looks back one last time, the girl is standing there watching him go, he looks at her confused and goes back home.
......................................................................
Adam is in the living room with Leo.
"So how am I?" Adam asks "the same as always....was there supposed to be something different?" Leo says "I'm going on a date with Harper I want to look good" Adam says.
"But you're wearing the same clothes as yesterday" Leo says "yeah, but she didn't see me in those clothes yesterday" Adam says.
"it would be nice to wear clean clothes on a date" Leo says "why if these are perfect...Oh that reminds me of borrowing one of Mr Davenport's perfumes" Adam says.
"Guys!" Chase walks into the room "we have a problem" Chase says "oh yeah we do Adam is going to dress like this on a date" Bree says walking into the room too.
"no I'm serious!" Chase says "what's up?" Leo ask "I was attacked...by a girl in a biker outfit and she looked like she was there to kill me but...she let me get away and warned me that someone is coming for us" Chase says.
"Yeah Chase we know girls want to hit you but kill you, don't you think that's a bit of an exaggeration?" Leo says.
"I'm serious! she was strong, and seemed to be very well trained" Chase says "was she bionic?" Bree says "no, she's not but she has high tech equipment and she knows about our chips she knew exactly where mine was to destabilize me" Chase says.
"Why did she let you get away?" Bree asks "I don't know but if there's someone behind this we need to let Mr Davenport know!" Chase says,they hear someone knocking on the door.
"look Chase I know you're having girl issues so now watch how I deal with them" Adam says going to open the door.
"I'm looking forward to meeting her, i want to understand what's been making you talk about this girl so much" Bree says "yeah I confess I'm curious too" Leo says.
Chase chuckles "She must be really dull and weird to go out with Adam" Chase says, everyone is behind Adam, he opens the door, Harper is standing in the doorway "okay I take it back!" Chase says scratching the back of his head.
"hey Harper!" Adam says "hey!" Harper says "uh Harper these are my sibilings...this is Leo" Adam says.
"hey it's nice to meet you, Adam spoke a lot about you" Leo says "Of course he did!" Harper says.
"hi I'm Bree, and FYI Adam bought these clothes yesterday" Bree says "Oh that's relevant information" Harper says sarcastically.
Her eyes flick to Chase "hey I'm Chase" Chase says "I know" Harper says in a worried tone, Chase frowns "I mean Adam told me about you so..." Harper says a little nervously "i did?" Adam questions "YES" Harper says.
Mr. Davenport walks in "hey what's going on here" Mr.Davenport says "Mr. Davenport this is Harper" Adam says.
"oh so you're the girl who got Adam a job!" Mr.Davenport says "I think so and would you be his father of him?" Harper says "yes, Donald Davenport nice to meet you" he says greeting Harper.
"but Douglas is our father" Adam says "but you guys live with me don't you?" Mr. Davenport says.
Harper loses herself in the conversation as she faces Chase with a worried look, he also stares at her as if he's seen her before.
"okay let's go?" Adam says "sure" Harper says "take care kids!" Mr. Davenport says, Adam and Harper leave.
"Mr. Davenport we have a problem" Chase says "what happened?" He says "Chase was attacked by a mysterious girl in a motorcycle outfit" Bree says.
"She said there's someone coming after us" Chase says "Wait did she have a biker outfit? With a red helmet?" Mr Davenport says "yes!" Chase says.
"do you know who she is, Big D? " Leo ask "I have an idea....Come with me to the Lab" Mr. Davenport says.
......................................................................
Adam takes Harper for a walk in the park.
"Do you want a milk shake?" Adam asks "Adam, we work with this every day so...." Harper says "oh yeah right makes sense" Adam smiles.
"I'm not a big fan of sweet food either" Harper says "why not!? sugar is the best thing...makes everything better" Adam says "I don't know I just prefer salty things" Harper says.
She walks next to Adam, with her hands in her pockets.
"okay that's understandable but you have nothing against fried food right....because if you do we're done for the night and our friendship here" Adam says, Harper laughs gently "no, I love fried food" she says "nice" Adam says.
"Pizza! Do you like pizza?" Adam asks "Of course, what tou think i am? a monster!?" Harper says.
"let's go then!" Adam says "Wanna bet I get there first!?" Harper says getting ready to run "well..." Adam says "See you loser!" Harper says and starts running, Adam runs after her.
They arrive at the pizzeria "wow, you're fast!" Adam says "I run a lot" Harper says.
"Eh I know faster people" Adam says "I doubt it" Harper says "don't doubt me...remember what happened last time" Adam says "yeah come on! i'm hungry" she says.
They sit at a table "So Harper, how is your family you never told me about them" Adam says "it's because there's nothing worth talking about" Harper says.
"why not?" Adam says "I don't get along with them very well" Harper says.
"but do you have sibilings?" Adam says "yeah....but...I'm adopted" Harper says "oh" Adam says.
"relax no matter how messed up your family is, It won't be any messier than mine" Adam says "I wish I could say yes" Harper says smiling at Adam.
......................................................................
Meanwhile at the Lab.
"who is this girl Mr. Davenport?" Chase asks "I don't know who she is but....I know what her outfit means" Mr Davenport says opening a file.
"after we confront Douglas and Krane, I did some research on Victor Krane" Mr. Davenport says "and what did you found?" Leo asks.
"Victor Krane has three daughters, before he found out about bionics and implanted them on himself, he trained his daughters since they were children to be assassins and do the work for him, each with training in a specific skill the three were separated by color, Chase fought with the red one..." Mr. Davenport says looking at the files.
"what's the red one's skill?" Bree asks "Agility and intelligence...she was specifically assigned to fight Chase" Mr. Davenport says.
"what are the others?" Chase says "one is experienced with firearms and the other is a spy" Mr. Davenport says.
"were they sent by Krane?" Chase says "it doesn't make sense" Leo says "Why does he send them instead of coming himself since he has bionics and they don't" Bree says "they must be working alone, on some kind of revenge" Chase says.
"Be aware they could come from anywhere" Mr. Davenport says.
......................................................................
Harper and Adam are still talking in the pizzeria.
"So, how are your brothers like?" Adam asks "they're sisters, they're twins so they just get along with each other and I'm left out" Harper says.
"must be hard" Adam says "that's why I work at diner, to try to stay away from home as much as possible" Harper says in an upset tone, she sighs.
"but enough about me" Harper says.
"your family seems nice" Harper smiles "oh they are, we do everything together, before it was just me and Bree and Chase locked in the bas...House all day" Adam says, Harper frowns.
"but then Leo showed up and we got to see the world" Adam says "how sweet" Harper says.
Adam and Harper have been talking for a while, but always in a friendly way as Harper keeps her distance from him the whole time, but they get along well.
Suddenly they hear someone screaming from inside the kitchen.
some guys come out with masks and a gun, people run out but Harper and Adam are still there, one of the guys holds the cook.
"everyone on the floor this is a robbery!" The guy screams shooting in the air.
Harper and Adam duck under the table.
"calm down it's going to be okay I'll get us out of here!" Adam tells Harper, but she remains calm
Adam tries to think of a way to get the cook and Harper out without using his bionics.
He gets up "let her Go!" he says to the guy with the cook "Adam what are you doing?" Harper says crouching beside the table.
"I'll explain later....Let her go!" he says one more time, standing in front of the guy like he's about to use his heat vision.
Harper calmly stands up.
"or what?" The thug says "or you'll be sorry" Adam says.
"Adam!" Harper screams, Adam turns, another guy was about to punch him in the back, but Harper is faster.
She takes a plastic tray and puts it in front of Adam, making the guy punch the tray and get his hand trapped, she uses this to move his hand to his back, twisting his arm, she kicks him making him fall to the floor.
Adam stands there in shock as everything is happening so fast.
Harper uses her foot to keep the guy on the floor she picks up a plate from one table and throws it at the other guy, the plate hits his head making him fall to the floor, leaving the cook free who runs out of there.
The other guy pulls Harper to the floor, she punches him in the face and gets up, the guy gets up too she calmly takes another plate and hits him in the face, making him fall to the floor again
She stands in a fighting stance for a few seconds, Adam looks at her in shock.
She makes a scared face like she's just done something she could never have done.
"What? How are you? What!!" Adam says "I uh...That was..." Harper says nervously.
"uh I just...wanted to put into practice what I learned in my judo class!" Harper smiles nervously and scared "what?" Adam asks.
"yeah! I take martial arts classes...They always said it would be useless but...who's useless now huh!?" Harper gives a forced smile.
"you do judo and martial arts?" Adam says "yes and I'm really good...and... that's one more fact about me!" Harper says.
"Wow that was awesome!" Adam says "thanks!" Harper says calming down again.
......................................................................
The police arrive at the pizzeria, Harper and Adam leave.
"wow that was pretty crazy" Harper says "don't even get me started, are all dates like this?" Adam says "I hope not" Harper says.
"but apart from that last part I had a lot of fun" Adam says, the two walk together "me too I always have fun with you" Harper says, they both smile.
......................................................................
They return to Davenport's mansion.
"so I guess that's it" Harper says "it wasn't too bad was it?" Adam says "indeed, but..." Harper says looking him in the eyes.
She sits on the bench in front of the house door, Adam sits beside her.
"but what?" Adam says "I like you but not like that you know" Harper says.
"I know" Adam says "It's not a problem with you I just don't feel that way" Harper says afraid of hurting his feelings.
Adam gets serious and nods "I know....actually, I don't either" Adam says "Really?" Harper says.
"Yeah like, at first i thought so but now that I know you better I don't like you like that....but I still like you" Adam says "as a friend?" Harper asks.
"yeah!....Especially after seeing you punch that guy in the face...I can't imagine me dating you" Adam chuckles, Harper laughs along with him "it really must have been a lovely scene to watch" Harper says sarcastically "but by far one of the most amazing things I've ever seen" Adam says.
Harper smiles "remember when I told you I worked at the diner hoping to get a life?" Harper says "yeah" Adam says "thanks to you I feel like I got one, never had a friend like you" she says.
"Really?" Adam says "yeah thanks for that, I really like you I hope we stay friends" Harper says "I promise I won't leave you...you're also the best friend I've ever had" Adam says.
"we make a great team!" Harper says, Adam nods "Hug!?" She says opening her arms, Adam smiles and hugs her, he pulls her close and she lays on his shoulder.
"yeah maybe you're not my type" Harper says "I don't think you are either!" Adam says.
"what's your type then?" Harper says "I don't know but now you're too much of a friend of mine to be my dating type" he says Harper smiles "and what's yours?" Adam asks.
"I don't know I never thought about that...but maybe he has to be...smart..." Harper starts to think "yeah I lost it!" Adam gets up and leaves, Harper laughs.
......................................................................
Harper walks home alone.
"Where were you?" Harper's sister, Tera approaches angrily "it's none of your business" Harper says.
"but it's our business that you didn't get rid of Davenport's genius boy" Lara, the other sister says getting up from the monitor she was on.
"I tried" Harper says "you didn't try hard enough!" Tara says.
"yeah! you were the smartest of us to catch this kid!" Lara says "he was smarter than me" Harper says putting her bag on the couch, obviously lying to her sisters.
"either that or you didn't do the job right and let him slip away" Tara says "I don't understand why we're doing this stupid job" Harper says.
"what!? do you want to give up?" Lara says "And do I have a choice?" Harper says "No!" Lara says.
"You're the head of this operation...without you we don't have a chance so you're going to be a good nerd and get those chips out of their heads" Lara says threateningly.
"or what?" Harper says "or that!" Tara says pressing a button that activates the bracelet that Harper wears, the bracelet gives her an electromagnetic shock.
She loses her balance with the pain "okay stop!" Harper says.
"you really aren't our sister" Lara says "indeed, if I were I would be as dumb as you guys!" Harper says.
"you've been getting on my nerves for years!" Tara says "oh yeah! you can't even spell nerves!..or can you!?" Harper says mocking Tara.
"That's enough! You see why dad replaces us with that stupid bionics" Lara says.
"It's because of her" Tara says "I refuse to waste my voice arguing with you!" Harper says "Stop!" Lara says.
"Now thanks to you, they're on high alert about us, we have to attack now..." Lara says "Let's make our father proud, he will regret replacing us" Tara says, Harper rolls her eyes.
"we could have run away and been free after he disappeared" Harper tells herself "listen here!" Lara says tugging on Harper's necklace.
"you better obey us real good, You've already screwed up too much and FYI, freedom is not in your vocabulary" Lara says "Believe me, you made that abundantly clear" Harper says, Lara drops Harper's necklace.
"let's go get those bionics freaks" Lara says "go to the workstation sweetie you got work to do" Tara says sarcastically, they leave
Harper sighs and crosses her arms, she lowers her head while running a hand through her hair.
She looks upset and angry at the same time, she walks to a door.
"voice recognition required, please say your full name" a IA voice says, voice recognition is needed to open the door, Harper sighs and looks up
"Harper Krane" she says, the door opens "welcome back Harper" the voice says and the door closes behind her.
