Chapter 11 - Preventing The Worst

Marcus' POV

"So you've been rebuilding yourself since we fought at Douglas' lab?" I led her into the apartment building. I nodded slowly, looking upset at her mention. "I'm sorry." She mumbled as we walked along the hallways and over to the stairs. I shook my head.

"It's okay, Bree. You had a question, and now you have an answer." I replied before grabbing onto her hand for comfort. She smiled slightly as I pulled her gently up the stairs.

"So, Chase and I are together." She implied trying to prevent the silence that was attempting to overtake us. I laughed as I dropped her hand. She was always so nervous that I wanted something more. Then again who could blame her, you know for being scared of me. "Oh I didn't mean it like-" She started before I cut her off.

"I know what you meant. I was kidding too, Bree. But I do hope that little nerd boy makes you happy. He's a hell of a guitar player if I do say so myself." I rambled. But seriously though, I meant what I said. could I've always respected him in a weird way, but wanted to kill him in another. My mind went back to when I almost made him fall to his death in Douglas' lab before Bree snapped me out of my thoughts.

"He does, and he always will." She mumbled as we stopped just outside of my door. I smiled and leaned back against the wall as we stared back at each other. Every conversation we've had together was always some blackmail, or I was trying to get something out of it for myself.

"This is nice." I thought aloud. She nodded instantly, but quickly jumped to my side as she watched the door fly open, revealing Chase stomping out into the hallway. He stopped the second he saw me. She pulled away with a scared look on her face. I was probably going to get my head ripped off any second now. His mouth dropped while his eyes widened in disgust at me. He would never listen to what I would have to say. I was his enemy. Plain and simple.

"Bree." He whispered lowly. Chase closed his eyes as he tried to control his commando app. That was one thing I didn't have. Partly because the only reason he had it was, because Donald made it so that he could defend himself against Douglas. He really was the smarter inventor.

"Chase, I can explain." She whispered with innocence.She walked calmly over to him, placing a hand on his shoulder in attempt to stop this, what we both knew was coming.

"No." He muttered under his breath before pushing past her. Chase walked over to me with ease, never once breaking eye contact. I took a slight step back, holding up my hands in defense as I did so. This was going to be bad. I tried to diffuse the situation even though the only way was for him to kill me.

"Chase, listen to your girlfriend-" I started, only to be cut off by Chase raising his fist to punch me in the face. I flinched waiting for it to come.

"Uh!" Chase groaned as he pulled his hand back, the blood soon making it's way out of the cuts in his knuckles. I fell backwards into the wall at the left of them, holding myself up just barely. I was weak.

Chase took a large step forward before stopping just in front of me again, and punching me once more in the stomach. I curled into myself in pain before I kicked Chase in the shin as he fell to the floor. Chase groaned quietly before falling down to the floor on his back. Oops, I wasn't supposed to do that. But I didn't want to be some punching bag. I crawled over effortlessly to Chase before I punched him in his jaw, pushing his face into the ground. Bree ran over to Chase in that instant.

"Chase!" She cried out. Chase made a disgusted face once more as he clicked his tongue, he was bleeding from the impact. Adam was next to fly over to jump on top of me.

"Don't you hurt my brother!" He yelled as he pinned me to the ground before punching me in the face, as well. He was bigger than me, but not as powerful. Bree and Chase were whispering in the background as I was getting beat up by the big lug. Adam kept attacking me as Bree kept talking.

"Marcus is trying to help us." She hissed before standing up and speeding over to us, pushing Adam off of me in the process. Adam cried out as his back hit the floor. I let my head fall back onto the ground softly in exhaustion. That was harder than I thought.

"What do you mean he's helping us?" Chase asked, sounding worried and interested at the same time. As he stole a quick glance at me.

"Douglas, is free. Marcus helped him escape, but before you go all, 'determined to leave him behind', we need him. He knows how to get rid of Douglas for good." She explained quickly, probably worried he was going to lunge at me again. I smiled up at her as she knelt down next to me. She sighed and turned slightly to face Chase.

"I'm sorry about what I did. I hurt you all, in ways that I can never take back. But please, if you don't give me a second chance, we could all be dead by the end of the week, including Leo, his mom, and Donald Davenport." I added, hoping he would finally believe me. Chase closed his eyes, I knew it'd be hard to get through to him.

"What do you know? Only then will I even consider giving you a second chance." Chase snapped, but sounding as though he would listen. I felt myself breathe a sigh of relief at that. At least he would hear me out.

"Could we go somewhere else so I can explain myself. I've locked Douglas in my room but he may be free, or at least is able to hear us." I reasoned, with them. Bree nodded before pulling me up to my feet. She sighed as she used her speed to run back over to Chase. She smiled down at him as she held out her hand. He shook his head and used his karate skills to jump up on his own. I rolled my eyes at his 'skills' I could do the same thing, and better.

"Come on." Chase mumbled at me. I nodded to Bree before grabbing onto Adam's arm.

"Hey! Let me-" Adam tried before we each sped off towards the woods once more. We stopped by the cliff, me and Bree sitting down instantly while Adam and Chase glanced around a little more. Chase sighed before sitting down next to his girl. Adam smiled happily before sitting down at her side as well, leaving me to sit on my own just across from them. Talk about cold shoulder.

"Go on, creep. Tell us your side of the story before I push you off this cliff." Chase started with a sly smile. I knew he would always be against me, but that was a price I was willing to take.

"Give it up, Chase." Bree muttered, trying to tell him to stop.

"Okay, before I start a bigger fight between the new, and previously happy couple, I will explain." I began, hoping they would listen. "I woke up in that destroyed lab beneath piles and piles of ceiling. When I finally got out, I saw what I really was, and I was even scared of myself. Douglas never told me I was an android. It changed even more. Not only did he leave me behind, but he failed to tell me what I really was."

"So? You're a robot-"

"Android." Bree interrupted. Chase shook his head, he was clearly mad at her. She motioned for Marcus to continue.

"Yes, I am an android. But I had thought myself to he human for fifteen and a half years, Chase. Wouldn't you be upset?" I countered, hoping I could relate.

"Fine! Yes, I would be upset." Chase yelled. I rolled my eyes before I continued.

"So, to get revenge for all of this stuff that he got me into, I decided to play the ultimate revenge. I would help him get out, but I would kill him myself. I needed to know a few things, so that's why he's still here now. He's just information to me, and now, to you three. But he is still a danger to your family. And by family, I mean you three, and the ones that you three stupidly left behind." Marcus went on. "I thought you three understood just how badly he wants to eliminate Leo and Davenport."

"We did, but what we also knew, was he was trapped in a gigantic ice block under twenty four/seven watch." Chase replied snidely.

"I know what I did was wrong. I should have left him there. But he wasn't dead, guys. He was just frozen. He could get out at any time, and come for you guys. I did you a favor-"

"Did you? Now we have to fight him, again!" Chase yelled.

"But you won't have to fight me this time. You have me on your side... If you're willing to give me what Bree has promised." I bargained. Chase scrunched his face in confusion.

"What did you tell him? We can't give him more abilities-"

"It's not that! I told him Mr. Davenport can at least try and get him a real body, so he can be human. Just like us." Bree yelled before standing up. "Chase, you need to calm down. I can't keep fighting you on this! I trust him, he told me how much he regrets all of this! But Douglas practically programmed him to hate us! And look at him now! He's destroyed, we're his only hope! And he's ours." Adam nodded in agreement as he stood up. He hadn't said anything, so I had assumed he was on Chase's side.

"I believe you. I'm sorry for all of this, Marcus." Adam agreed as he helped me up. We did a bro hug before the three of us turned to Chase. He kept his sights set low on the ground, not even looking up as he sensed us looking to him. Bree walked and leaned down toward him. I could still hear everything they were saying.

"Chase, I'm sorry I yelled. But you can be-"

"Stubborn, I know. I've been living with that my whole life. But I can't lose you, and if teaming up with that, is what it takes, then I'm in." Chase said seriously before looking up to her with a genuine smile. She sighed in relief before thrown her arms around him. I smiled down at them, they really were the perfect couple.

"So, are we friends? Allies? People who talk behind everyone's back?" I asked teasingly, mocking myself from earlier. Bree helped Chase up this time, and they walked over to me.

"We are." Chase replied with a smile before holding out his hand. I smiled as Bree placed her hand above his, Adam following.

"So this is us? The only four bionics in the world finally teaming up?" I asked as I placed mine hand above all of theirs. Bree laughed and nodded.

"What else would be be?" She teased as Chase finally cracked a smile my way.

"Yep, and I hope we can get the band back together when we get back." Chase said with a smile. I nodded excitedly. We were awesome when we first started. Even though it was just a scam.

"I would love that... If Leo forgives me." I said, my face slowly falling. I almost killed the kid after all. Adam patted me on the shoulder.

"Oh he will."
