Episode 9: you posted what? (Part 1)

At school, Adam, Bree, Chase and Leo enter the school, everyone is looking at their cellbphones, and also at them, all whispering, some scared.

"What's everybody lookin' at?" Bree
aks,Perry approaches them "A new viral video, Guess what it's called? "The World's First Bionic Humans"" Perry says "What?!" All say confused "Wait, there are other bionic people? Then why are we working so hard?" Adam says "She's talking about us" Chase says.

Harper comes running in "Guys!" Harper says "did you show them?" Harper asks Perry "I was about to do that if you didn't come along and ruin everything" Perry says "look at your tone Terry!" Harper says.

"look at this!" Harper shows their video on her cell phone "That's yesterday's mission" Chase says "Somebody filmed us" Bree says "Your secret's out. Everybody's gonna know you're bionic" Leo says "it's a 'everyone will know' on a global scale" Harper says.

"Never mind that, Now I can't blackmail Daddy Big Bucks anymore. My gravy train just ran right off the tracks!" Perry says frustrated "Really? That's what you're thinking!?....You guys should have gotten rid of her when she was the only one" Harper says quietly to Adam, he nods in agreement.

"Everyone's looking at us" Bree says "Quit your staring, Scram! So they're bionic, Get to class before they mow you down with their finger missiles" Perry tells the students, she leaves.

Some students are staring at them in the corner by the stairs "what are you staring at? So pissed off that they're Bionic, and nicer than you guys?....oh go cry over there!!" Harper says angry, helping to get rid of students.

"How could this happen? What are we gonna do?" Bree says "I don't know. We're in big trouble" Chase says.

"Wait! I know how we can fix this! We'll convince everyone the video was made with special effects....You know, like those fake videos Adam's always watching" Leo says "So "Giant Baby Eats Tokyo" is fake? I should've known. Where are they gonna get a diaper that big?" Adam says.

"Leo, that might actually work" Chase says "Well, first, we better go tell Mr. Davenport" Bree says "Wait, is "Giant Baby Eats London" fake too? Because I just sent 50 bucks to the victim's relief fund" Adam says.

Everyone runs out Adam and Harper stay behind "how many times have I told you to stop watching these videos....they're going to wipe out what few neurons you have left" Harper says "Sometimes I think the problem is with you.... that you should lose some!" Adam tilts his head smiling, Harper rolls her eyes and leaves.

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

They go to the Davenport mansion, they come in desperate,"Mr. Davenport!" Chase screams "We just heard" Mr Davenport and Tasha walks in.

"What are we gonna do?" Tasha ask "I say we sell Chase to the circus and use the money to start our new life" Adam says, Chase frowns.

"Big D, I know how we can spin this" Leo says, Douglas walks in "No, No. Were way past spinning this, Leo. That's video all over the news. Experts have verified the footage wasn't manipulated" Douglas says,pointing at the tv with the video playing on the news.

"People all over the world are freaking out!" Douglas says "Oh, of course they are, They just saw Chase in a skin-tight mission suit" Adam say, Harper lets out a light laugh, Chase looks at her irritated, she clears her throat making a serious face.

"Douglas is right. This is way too big to spin" Mr Davenport says "I can't believe this. You guys are the biggest news story ever, and I got scooped!" Tasha says, everyone looks at her confused.

"Oh you worried about your news!? What about me? When they realize that I'm connected to you guys, they'll suspend my pardon and I'll go to jail...again!" Harper says worried.

"How could this happen?" Mr Davenport ask "I don't know. I did a thermal scan on the mission site. No one was there" Chase says "Well, the footage from my satellite says otherwise" Mr Davenport says showing the satellite image, a girl in the corner of the image recording them with her cell phone.

"Someone's standing right there" Mr Davenport says "What? But I scanned the site" Chase says "Yeah, well, you missed a spot, and now the entire family is in danger" Mr Davenport says.

"Come on, Donny. The kid made a mistake, Could've happened to anyone" Douglas says "Yeah, not really. He's the only one who thermal scans" Adam says.

"So What's our next move?" Leo ask "Give Tasha Davenport an exclusive interview?" Tasha aks, everyone looks at her again "It's my job to ask" Tasha says.

"Don't worry guys, I've prepared for this. I've got a safe house at a secure location, you three will hide there. It's got food, capsules, everything you'll need for a year's worth of survival" Mr Davenport says "A year?" Bree ask "Well, 343 days. After that, play rock-paper-scissors and eat the loser" Mr Davenport says, The three look at each other.

"and you and the prison thing" Douglas says putting his hand on Harper's shoulder "let's do what I did to get out of trouble. Fake your death!" Douglas says with a smile, Harper looks at him with disdain "Seriously, and you still call yourself a genius?" Harper says, He pulls away looking at her with an annoyed face.

"In the meantime, I'm gonna hold a
press conference, and prove to the world you're not dangerous. When they're ready to accept you, you'll come home, Everybody get your stuff, we leave in five minutes" Mr Davenport says.

"I feel bad, Donny, It was my idea to put bionics in humans, and it's not fair for you not to take all the heat" Douglas says "Yeah, I know. I'm only holding that press conference so I can blame everything on you" Mr Davenport says.

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

At the Lab, Chase is packing, Harper is checking out her stuff in the lab, and Leo is Helping "I don't get it. I know I scanned the mission site. How did I not notice that girl?" Chase says thoughtfully "Yeah, it is weird... Usually, it's the girl who doesn't notice you" Leo says,Chase glares at him.

"could be a glitch in your chip" Harper says "it's not a glitch in my chip!" Chase says checking his chip "everybody can fail Chase. You're not perfect" Leo says "but my chip is and I'm my chip" Chase says, Leo and Harper look at each other.

Douglas walks in "Guys, hurry up. See, this is why I should have raised you. Then you'd know how to abandon a building" Douglas says.

"And you already decided on your death!?" Douglas says pointing at Harper "you're ridiculous" Harper says "you're asking for homicide" Douglas says, Harper rolls her eyes.

"Aha, look!" Chase says,The chip log shows him scanning the site firsthand, the girl does not appear "Chase is right. He did do a thermal scan at the mission site" Leo says.

"Yes! I knew it! Still perfect!" Chase says excitedly "calm down boy" Harper says grabbing him on the shoulder.

"Hey, look. The times code match and that's the spot where the girl showed up on Big D's satellite footage, but on your chip log, she's nowhere to be found.." Leo says, showing the monitors "That's impossible" Chase says "Not quite" Harper says.

"and if she somehow adapts to room temperature" Harper says thoughtfully "how?" Chase says looking at her she hesitates saying, she's thoughtful like she knows something, Chase knows she has a difficulty expressing how smart she is.

"you can tell me...remember!?" Chase says discreetly, looking into her eyes, Douglas and Leo frown and look at each other, she nods whit a smile "I need more information before I can tell you for sure" Harper says looking through some files.

"Let me know when you reach a conclusion, I'm gonna go tell Mr.
Davenport" Chase says leaving "Good idea. But leave out the part about being perfect. It just makes people wanna punch you in the face" Douglas says Chase shakes his head and leaves.

"So...Do you prefer a car accident or a train track?" Douglas asks "I won't fake my death!!" Harper says.

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

The army and police officers arrive at the house, delay Adam, Bree and Chase, in the Lab, Leo, Douglas and Harper watch them in the living room on the lab monitors.

"No!" Harpe says "We have to help them" Leo says going towards the door "We don't stand a chance against those guys" Douglas says "I can do it!" Harper says "Are you going to risk everything to save them?" Douglas says "I'm more than up for it!" Harper says walking towards the door "me too!" Leo says going with her.

"The only way we can help them is if we don't get captured" Douglas says, Leo and Harper look at each other.

They hear na alarm "They're coming in the elevator" Leo says "Okay, I changed my mind. I'll take the train track!" Harper tells Douglas, he glares at her.

"They're coming in the tunnel, too" Leo says seeing the security cameras "We're surrounded" Harper says "You want me to blow up the lab again? I'm good at it! "Douglas says "I feel like blowing up something else" Harper says whit a sarcastic smile threatening Douglas.

"Let's make that plan B" Leo says "Well, what's plan A?" Douglas ask "This" Leo says Pressing the button on the tablet opens the floor, causing the three to fall before the agents arrive.

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

They go to school "We'll hide here till we figure out our next move" Douglas says "You know things are bad if school is my safe place" Leo says.

They see Perry going through Bree's school locker "Principal Perry?? What are you doing in Bree's locker?" Leo ask "Certainly not stealing stuff to sell at my bionic souvenir shop" Perry says, Harper chuclkes "Oh well at least I already know what I'm going to do if everything goes wrong" Harper says crossing her arms.

"Ooh, I see you brought the one family member who doesn't disgust me. Hello." Perry says going towards Douglas "how is it?" Harper says confused.

"Principal Perry, we need your help" Douglas says "Please, call me Terry. It's easy to remember because it rhymes with marry" Perry says showing her hand to Douglas "forget the train tracks. I'm going to die of disgust and it's going to be real" Harper to Leo says turning
her face away.

"Yeah. If it's okay, I'd still like to call you principal because it rhymes with...I have a girlfriend" Douglas says "no you don't" Harper says "quiet!" Douglas says angry.

"Special agents took over the house and have Adam, Bree, and Chase in custody" Leo says "We're afraid they're going to take them to be studied in a secret facility or worse" Harper says.

"It's true. For all we know, they're being grilled by the feds" Douglas says "No, no, no. If the feds find out I was in on this, I'm cooked. Well, I guess there's only one thing left to do. Trade you two for my freedom" Perry says.

Perry pick up her phone, Douglas and Harper go for her, Harper takes her cell phone and Douglas is in front "No, please. You're our only friend right now" Douglas says "Well, who can say no to a man with such hairy knuckles?"Perry says running his fingers over her face.

"We don't think the bionic video was na accident. This is the girl who did it" Harper says "Have you seen her?" Leo ask "No, but email me the picture and I'll run it through our student-faculty database" Perry says "Fine" Leo says.

"It's supposed to be used for transcripts, but I use to it play the ugly-face-ugly-name game, Just for the record you have both" Perry points at Harper "Go!" Harper says, Perry runs off.

"So, let's think about this. The mission alert was for a pipeline that burst because of seismic activity at exactly...Wait" Leo says "What's wrong?" Douglas ask "This geological website says there was no significant seismic activity yesterday" Leo says "So...What if it was all set up?" Harper says thoughtful to Leo.

"Nothing came up on your gal. The records say she doesn't exist" Perry says "look at you being helpful" Harper says sarcastically, Perry rolls her eyes.

"If we could find evidence that the pipe was sabotaged, that would prove it. Let's go check the mission site" Douglas says, He goes towards the door, Harper and Leo go with him.

"Wait! There's one other thing you should know... The school board frowns on parents dating teachers, but let's be honest. You ain't no parent, and I ain't no teacher" Perry says in a flirt tone "get off Terry he's not meat for your beak!" Harper pulls Douglas in a hurry.

"and who are you to stop me?" Perry says "want me to show you!?" Harper says threatening, Perry leaves irritated, "please Teach me how to do this ?" Douglas ask.

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

They go to the mission location "hey girl!" Douglas says quietly, Harper looks at him "I know you've been through terrible things because of your genius, you have traumas you try to hide, but you have a unique ability, it's okay to use that" Douglas says.

Harper looks thoughtful "I don't know what you're talking about" Harper says "Krane told me all about you but don't worry I don't see you as just a brain trained to kill...you can be so much more" Douglas says "like what?" Harper ask "you can be everything, look what you can do, you are strong, agile, and incredibly smart. all without a bionic chip, you are proof that a human can do it all by itself" Douglas says, Harper smiles at him.

Leo come over "So, you and Principal Perry?" Leo ask "I don't want to talk about it!" Douglas says angry.

"Hey, check this out. That looks like a superspeed trail" Leo points to a trail "Yeah, you're right. That couldn't be Bree's. She went east. These clearly point south" Douglas says "But, if the trail isn't Bree's, then it must be hers, Could she be bionic?" Leo ask "No, impossible. The only other person with bionics is..." Douglas says he looks at Harper "it's Krane" she says.

"But how could Krane be the girl?... Wait, did you give him a cyber mask?" Leo says "I might have" Douglas says "Very smart!" Harper says sarcastically.

"And I also might have given him a full body cyber cloak, too... But he was only supposed to use it on Halloween! Last year, we went as Brad and Angelina" Douglas says "you guys had a very weird friendship....you're weird it doesn't surprise me he wouldn't want me to meet you" Harper says.

"So the girl who took the video is actually Krane... What do we do now?" Leo ask "I don't know?" Harper says "well, i will slapping on a cyber mask and selling apples by the highway" Douglas says leaving.

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

they go back to school "And that's why Krane cloaked himself as the girl and posted the video....He knew the feds would take Adam, Bree, and Chase out of the picture" Leo tells Perry "Quick question. At any point during your dealings with this Krane guy, did my name come up?" Perry says.

"Well he's my dad so that's basically a father and masters thing!" Harper smiles "you're the daughter of that crazy piscopath.it all makes sense now" Perry says, Harper rolls her eyes "He's not my real father" Harper says.

All of a sudden, Krane opens the doors "Oh daughter, you hurt me like that" Krane says, Harper stands up, everyone looks at him scared.

"That's Krane" Leo says "Please, take the defenseless child, but leave me the dreamboat of a man" Perry says hugging Douglas.

"How did you know we were here?" Douglas ask "I've had someone
keeping tabs on you.... S-1!" Krane says, the girl in the video enters the school "great did you find another one for your collection?" Harper says "I found a better one than you!" Krane says, Harper raises her eyebrow.

"S-1's no mere girl...She's a genetically engineered super soldier" Krane says "She's bionic, too?" Douglas ask "You
should be proud. Your technology has come in very handy. I've also upgraded your triton app so that I can control her abilities directly from my brain" Krane says, S-1's eyes light up

"this upgrade is thanks to you, the last useful thing you did for me was cracking the codes on the Bionic chips" Krane tells Harper, She closes her eyes and sighs in frustration.

"Wait, if she's a bionic human, how come she doesn't have a heat signature?" Leo ask "She can manipulate her body temperature to adapt to her surroundings" Harper says "Your little brain has so much potential, why would you waste it daughter?" Krane says "I'm not your daughter!" Harper says "You're right, if you were my daughter it wouldn't be a disappointment" Krane says.

"Where is this going, Krane? What's your plan?" Douglas ask "The world will find out soon enough, but you won't" Krane says.

He launches energy balls from his hands, everyone deflects, Harper sees that a part of the stair railing is loose, she kicks trying to release the railing, she succeeds.

Perry activates the fire alarm "Ha! The fire department will be here any minute!" Perry says "Good, then they can clean up the mess" Krane says, he hits Douglas and Perry with a surge of electricity.

"Can I take care of the kid?" S-1 ask "Of course. Just make it hurt" Krane says, S-1 goes after Leo.

Harper activates her skates and goes to Krane hitting him with the metal pipe she took with the handrail, he destabilizes, she hits him again now from the front "I've waited so long to do this" Harper says "You're coming with me!" Krane tries to hold her, she dodges "never again!" Harper says, she kicks him in the face with her skates and then hits him with the railing.

Leo attempts to run away, but S-1 mobilizes him with her bionics "Let me go!" Leo says, In the middle of the kicks, Krane uses bionics to choke Harper by lifting her off the ground, S-1 breaks the beam above Leo with her bionics, and sends it crashing down, pinning him.

"Leo!!!" Harper says, Krane throws her to the ground, barely breathing "you're right you're not worth it" Krane ducks "but thanks for your cooperation all these years...but you're just useless now...Daughter!" Krane laughs while Harper tries to pull herself together, S-1 and Krane leave the school.
