Episode 6: Bionic Skates

Everyone returns from the mission and enters the lab "Well done guys you did very well on the mission now...." Mr Davenport stops talking when they see a person with a soldering mask, soldering something on the work table "Ahhh!" Everyone screams and prepares to attack, the person raises the solder mask "oh hey guys!" Harper smiles.

"Harper what are you doing here?" Mr Davenport says "I'm trying to fix/improve my skates" Harper shows the skates on the table "Harper you can't enter the lab" Chase walks over crossing his arms "uh actually I can, because I just did!" Harper tilts her head and smiles at him.

"How did you get in here if the lab is locked when we leave?" Chase asks "Your security system sucks" Harper says "Eddy!" Chase says "What?" Eddy says "You let her in?" Chase says "yes...i like this girl" Eddy says "do you like someone ? Is that in your Programming?" Bree says, Harper chuckles "now it is" Harper says "what?" Mr Davenport says "nothing!" Harper goes back to what she was doing.

Mr Davenport shakes his head "relax Chase I gave her access to the lab" Mr Davenport says "why?" Chase says "she's part of the team now, she has information about Krane and his technology that can help me prepare you for a possible attack, and in return I let her work in the lab" Mr Davenport says.

"why didn't you say it at once?" Chase says "I was going to but I started to like seeing you make that lost puppy face" Harper says whit a smile, Chase frowns irritably.

Adam gets shocked by the skates "Adam don't touch anything!" Harper says "what do these skates do exactly?" Leo says "they're not normal skates...or at least they're not going to be anymore" Harper says "exactly I planned to put one of my old projects into practice on these skates..." Mr Davenport opens the project file "I plan to turn them into a portable device with ant gravity, which will make it more practical and will make the skates go much faster than one with regular wheels" Mr Davenport says.

"Wow Big D that's amazing!" Leo says "Can I have one?" Leo asks "Do you know how to skate?" Mr Davenport asks "No but..""Then no!" Mr Davenport says "I can teach him!" Harper says "Harper you see how fragile these little bones are...you're going to break the boy!" Adam says hugging Leo "hey I think I'm more than capable of rollerblading!" Leo says "Yeah but not in these ones..." Harper walks over to him "we can start with the ones for kids you know...that have like a thousand wheels and then we go with no wheels" Harper says "Big D?" Leo says, Mr Davenport sighs "okay but if Tasha asks I had nothing to do with it" Mr Davenport says "That'll be cool" Harper says "can I help you?" Adam says "sure" Harper says "when do we start?" Leo says "could be now" Harper says and they start to leave.

"Harper did you really hack Eddy?" Mr Davenport says, Harper turns around "Of course not Mr Davenport, to hack something you need to know numbers and code I don't have all that brainpower!" Harper says and leaves.

"Why does she do that?" Chase says "that what?" Mr Davenport says "forget it...want help with the skates?" Chase says "actually I do Chase, and Bree how fast you are you will be our reference, we want the skates to be fast but not too fast as we don't want to overload them!" Mr Davenport says "okay I didn't have anything else to do today...Unfortunately" Bree says.

......................................................................

Adam, Leo and Harper go to the park so that Leo can learn to skate "the ground is wet, won't that affect anything?" Leo says "Leo, Are you scared?" Harper asks "what? No, a man is not afraid of falling" Leo says confidently "What man? When does he arrive?" Adam says "Me! I'm the man!" Leo says "Of course you're a man...that's why I bought you these men's skates" Harper shows Leo skates in pink and with flowers "What the heck is this, girl!?" Leo says "Skates! They were the cheapest they had so..."Harper says "relax Leo they match your eyes" Adam says "that's for a 12 year old girl!" Leo says "it's temporary no one will notice and look they light up!" Harper says lighting up her skates and smiling "seriously how old do you think I am?" Leo says "wow they light up can i have one too?" Adam says.

"how old are you again?" Harper says "16" Leo says, Harper looks him up and down "are you sure?" Harper says "i swore you were 14" Adam say also looking at him "give me that" Leo says, he puts on his skates "can you stand up?" Harper asks, Leo tries to balance on his skates Harper stays by his side trying to help him up, he becomes unbalanced "Oh come on we don't have all day just stand up Leo!" Adam says, Harper and Leo glare at him "it's not just standing!" Harper says.

Leo manages to get to his feet and tries to keep "Don't look at your feet look at me Okay!" Harper says "Okay" Leo says,"okay now slide one foot in front of the other smoothly and push off" Harper says keeping her hands close to him so he doesn't fall "how do I push off ?" Leo asks "like that" Adam says "Adam don't!!" Harper says as Adam gives Leo a push, Adam's strength hurls Leo forward "I'm fine!" Leo says on the ground "what's your problem!? Why did you do that?" Harper says "I meant to give him a push" Adam says "You think I overreacted?" Adam asks "Oh no! I think it was just right!" Harper says sarcastically.

Harper helps Leo "Can we see the street performers now?" Adam says, Harper lets go of Leo for a second to look at Adam and he falls "I feel like this is going to take a while" Harper says getting Leo back up "Is it serious that big D wants to put an anti gravity device on this thing because I feel like this is already anti gravity!" Leo says "relax let's work this out" Harper says.

A little girl walks past him with skates just like Leo's "look she has skates just like yours!" Adam says, Leo looks at Harper frustrated "Okay maybe the problem is the skates?" Harper says "the problem is definitely the skates it won't kill you to invest a little more in them!" Leo says.

......................................................................

It took hours but Leo was finally able to skate, Harper and Adam watch him "or look him go!" Adam says "I know...one moment they can't even stand up and the next..." Harper says proudly "hey I'm getting good at this!" Leo says "yeah you're fine so far buddy!" Adam says taking a camera and recording Leo "you're doing great!" Harper says putting a hand on Adam's shoulder as they watch Leo skate "they learn so quickly" Adam says holding the camera "I'm proud" Harper says.

Leo approaches them, Harper looks at Adam with the camera and the whole situation "okay Adam is enough recording, It's getting ridiculous" Harper says taking her hand off his shoulder "we gotta capture these moments...he's growing up" Adam says, Harper frowns "So what do you think?" Leo says "I think you're really good at this and it only took us 5 hours to teach you!" Harper says "and no bones were broken" Adam says "just two trash cans and a decorative bush!" Leo says "If you wanted to have some sort of friendship with that gardener, you're done!" Harper says.

"think I can go on a mission with that already" Leo asks "wow Leo take it easy, you only know how to walk but that doesn't mean you can fight with skates" Harper says picking up her stuff "Hey I'm more than capable of this" Leo says "Leo believe me it's very dangerous, I know, you know how many times I get hurt badly in practice?" Harper says "yeah Leo you can barely make a turn yet" Adam says "then teach me how to fight" Leo says "no I told Mr Davenport I was going to teach you how to skate, just skate!" Harper says "come on Harper!....how much do you want for lessons?" Leo grabs his wallet, Harper glares at him she grabs his wallet and throws it away "hey!" Leo says "go get your wallet, if you make it from here without falling I'll teach you how to fight" Harper says with a smirk.

Leo looks at how far his wallet has gone, and how many holes there are in the sidewalk "Low blow Krane! low blow!" Leo says irritated but he goes anyway, Harper and Adam see him heading there "I'm almost there!" Leo says "will you let him get his wallet?" Adam says sipping a box of juice "it's too easy.... he has to see that in a real fight,the path won't be clear like that" Harper looks at Adam finishing the juice "are you done?" Harper asks, Adam gives her the box "I'm almost there" Leo says barely balancing himself "hey Leo lesson number one dodge obstacles!" Harper says throwing the box towards him "what?" Leo says, he tries to dodge the box and loses his balance, he falls slightly.

Harper and Adam go to him "what was that?" Leo says "it was a test and you didn't pass my little friend so let's keep you as just a regular skater for now" Harper says, Adam helps Leo to his feet "you're crazy!...And I confess that I'm just going to keep wearing these things because they look great on me!" Leo says "But those skates are Harper's" Adam says "nobody needs to know I have small feet!" Leo says calmly walking off with the skates.

......................................................................

They go back to the lab "Mr Davenport just to say we're coming back with a whole Leo from the park!" Adam says hugging Leo "and a Leo who goes rollerblading!" Harper says "Nice you guys did the impossible to keep Leo from breaking anything" Bree says "Oh Bree you are hilarious" Leo says sarcastically "You're happy now I got what you wanted" Mr Davenport "yes yes now I can put this on my list of talents" Leo says proudly "don't overdo it" Adam says.

"uh Chase!?" Harper walks over the cyber desk "What did you do with my skates?" Harper says "Mr Davenport and I upgraded them" Chase says "ok but where's the rest of It?" Harper says picking up a small device "is it!" Mr Davenport says "it wasn't like that in the design" Harper says "we made some changes making it a lot more compact" Mr Davenport says, Harper sits at the table.

"exactly, now you just put this device in the heel of your shoes and that's it" Chase says "that's it?" Harper says "Chase show her" Mr Davenport says fiddling with a tablet, Chase looks at Harper sitting on the table, he holds the devices in his hand "Uh...!?" Chase says, she frowns, he looks at her face then at her feet a little shy, she rolls her eyes "oh give me that!" Harper says and takes the devices from his hand, she fits the devices in her heels.

"ok and now?" Harper asks "just one final adjustment and... that's it!" Mr Davenport says, the devices activate, and automatically create a gravitational field around her feet like wheels "wow!" Harper says "Try riding with the skates!" Chase says, She stands up but her feet don't touch the floor, she staggers slightly, Chase grabs her arm so she doesn't fall, she gets to her feet and pulls her arm away "I'm fine" Harper says, Chase takes a step back, she starts to walk around the lab as if she were on regular skates, she tries more daring maneuvers like jumping over things and going faster.

"yey! Guys this is amazing!" Harper says, Mr Davenport turn off the skates, now she is only wearing regular shoes "see this way you can wear them all the time and always be prepared" Mr Davenport says "Cool!" Harper says taking the devices off the feet "we need to adjust the anti gravity device but after that they will be ready to use" Chase says "Good job" Harper says giving Chase the devices.

"You can go almost as fast as I can" Bree says "Really?" Harper says "Oh cool and ole Leo here has the girly skates" Leo says frustrated "Leo we already talked about this!" Mr Davenport says "Fine" Leo rolls his eyes, Douglas enters the Lab, Douglas walks in "hey what's going on here?" Douglas says "The question I should ask is what are you doing here!?" Harper says irritably "wow calm down it's just Uncle Douglas....or our dad Douglas...I never know" Adam says putting his arm in front of her "Lara!?" Douglas says, Harper cross her arms "try again" Harper says "you guys know each other?" Chase asks "Krane introduced me to his daughters when we worked together....and you were the one with the most potential" Douglas approaches "why exactly?" Mr Davenport asks "it doesn't matter" Harper says "i have nothing to do with that family anymore" Harper says "ha i used to say the same thing" Douglas laughs, everyone glares at him "ok we all met, can we have Donner now?" Adam says, everyone leaves the lab except Leo.

......................................................................

Leo puts the devices on his heels "this shouldn't be that hard" Leo says, he turns on the devices, he tries to stand, he succeeds, he starts to walk with the skates "It's easier without wheels!" Leo says he starts walking around the lab "I think I need more space" he says and leaves the lab, meanwhile Adam, Bree, Chase and Harper go back to the lab "what's wrong Chase?" Bree asks "I forgot to do one last test..." Chase says looking for the devices "where are the skateboards?" Chase says "I gave it to you" Harper says "And I put it on the table" Chase says, they look for it "it's nowhere" Bree says "But the Only one that...." Chase says, everyone looks at each other "Leo!" They say together and go after him.

Leo is upstairs riding his skates really well they start flashing "were they flashing like that before?" Leo says, he starts floating higher "wow what's going on?" Leo says, he starts to climb higher, he moves his feet but he can't reach the ground anymore, he tries to hold onto a chair but he starts pulling the chair along "Not again!" Leo says "Guys!" Leo shouts.

Adam, Bree, Chase and Harper arrive "Leo!" They say, Harper starts running up to him "the anti gravity device wasn't adjusted it will make it go up and keep going up" Chase says, Leo is holding on to the front door handle,Harper runs up to him and grabs him by the arms trying to pull him down "got him!" Harper says but soon she starts to be pulled along with him "I didn't get him I DIDN'T GET HIM!" Harper says.

Leo goes outside, Bree super speeds up to them and grabs Harper "Adam grabs them and I'm going to try to use my Molecularkinesis to activate the device's emergency button" Chase says, Adam nods and walks over to them "Adam!" Bree says, he holds them, and Chase raises his arms trying to deactivate the device with his Molecularkinesis, he fails because Leo is swinging his legs "Leo stands still I can't concentrate!" Chase says "Of course Chase! Why you don't take the chance to paint a picture of us too!?" Leo says desperately, Chase frowns, Chase turns off the device, everyone falls.

......................................................................

"phew! that was close" Leo says "Leo what were you thinking!?" Chase says picking up the devices "Sorry, I just wanted to show that I'm ready to use these devices on missions" Leo says "Leo nobody said you're not ready or that you're not capable" Bree says "yeah man we just want to protect you" Adam says "and to use these things you need to train a lot before going on a real mission" Chase says, Leo shakes his head "okay, you know what? i think i can train you at least the basics" Harper says "really?" Leo says "sure but definitely not on roller skates" Harper says "I think it's fair, I don't even want to know about those things again" Leo says "let's find your own thing" Harper smiles "thanks" Leo says "come here!" Harper opens her arms and hugs Leo "Group Hug!" Adam says and everyone gets into the hug "thanks guys" Leo says.

Harper suddenly punches him in the arm "Owch! What was that for?" Leo says "don't scare me like that again you freak!" Harper says "oh I think you better get used to these things if you're going to spend time here" Bree says "this is where things are a little crazy" Adam says "home sweet home" Chase smiles.

......................................................................

Later when everyone is in the living room with Douglas and Mr Davenport, Douglas tries to take a nap on the couch and looks up at the ceiling "how did those foot prints get on the ceiling!?" Douglas says "what?" Mr Davenport says, Adam, Bree, Chase, Leo and Harper look at each other as the five of them share a bowl of popcorn in the kitchen "how is there a wristwatch on my chandelier?" Mr Davenport says.

Everyone looks at Leo he looks at his wrist noticing the lack of the watch "do you guys have anything to say?" Mr Davenport goes to them and crosses his arms "I think we all know what to do now?" Leo says "what?" Harper asks "IT WAS HARPER!" they all say together and run off leaving Harper alone with a confused face, she looks Mr Davenport and calmly goes back to eating popcorn "you're not going to try to defend yourself are you?" Mr Davenport says "nope, I'd rather keep my dignity" Harper says, Mr Davenport goes after the rest.
