Chapter 12 Seeing things cleary
Marcus' POV
I grabbed onto Adam's arm as we pulled away from the hug.
"Whoa there, what're you doin'?" He asked defensively. I laughed as Bree and Chase grabbed onto each other's hands. I hated to admit it, but they really were meant for each other. I detested it badly at first, but now I just accepted it. The only thing I had to worry about now was keeping my life.
"We're going back to the apartment building, Adam." I replied as I held my hand on his arm. I stared at it for a second, still getting used to the sight.
"Guys, there's something wrong." Adam stated before he ripped his arm from my hand and putting his fingers on his square-like forehead. I backed up a few steps to give him his space.
"What?" Bree asked as she sped over to him, Chase following soon after. He looked as if he was contemplating something before he fell to the ground, holding his head in his hands. "Adam!" Bree yelled as she dove to the ground and rested her hands around his shoulders. Me and Chase kneeled down next to him as he began to black out.
"Adam? Adam wake up!" I yelled to him as I slapped his cheek a little. Chase was next to stoop down, and shake his shoulders.
"Adam!" He yelled out trying to get Adam's attention. We all knew though that we'd just have to sit back, and play the waiting game...
Adam's Flashback
The young boy, three years old, began to walk along with his father in the adoption center hallway. The two walked along until the boy looked up to his father. Donald Davenport smiled back down to his son as he squeezed his hand and led him into the back. He stopped in front of a large window before another man joined Donald's side. Douglas Davenport stood next to the other half of Davenport Industries with a girl in his arms. She could have only been two by the looks of her face. The boy smiled as he tried to reach up and get the girls attention. But to no avail, she was fast asleep. The boy watched intently as he waited for someone to tell them what they were doing there.
"Which one?" Douglas whispered as he leaned in closer to Donald. "We need one to have the third and most important chip. These two will start to learning how to use their abilities soon enough." Douglas continued as he patted the girl on the back lightly, keeping her asleep on his shoulder. Her small arms wrapped around the man's neck while her brown hair fanned out around her face.
"What do you mean?" Donald asked. The boy looked from his father and over to his uncle before he could see the shock and fear.
"I mean, we have to train them to take over Davenport Industries. The sooner the better, right Donny?" Douglas teased as he punched Donald playfully on the shoulder. Donald frowned, not believing that this was what his brother meant.
"Right. Well, why don't you try and see which one gets along the best with Adam and Bree? I have to take this." Donald suggested before dropping his son's hand and slipping his phone up and out of his pocket. The small boy frowned as his father waved slightly to him and walked back down the hallway. Douglas groaned in annoyance before leaning down to the ground and waking up Bree. He pulled her to her feet before her eyes opened.
"Daddy..." Bree left off as she rubbed her eyes. The boy smiled before wrapping his arms around who could only feel like a sister to him. Bree laughed happily before letting her cousin pull her into a hug.
"Adam." She groaned happily. Douglas' frown turned slowly into a smile as he watched the two.
"Are you two ready to find your brother?" Douglas whispered, hoping the two would go along with it. The two smiled happily and nodded. "Good, because we need a third. Two bionics just doesn't sound right." Douglas stood up straight and held out his hands to the two before pulling them into the adoption center.
"Why hello there. What can we do to help you?" The attendant asked as she glided over to Douglas, Bree, and Adam. She smiled and kneeled down before the two. "Did you find them outside? If so, they tend to get away-"
"Oh no. The girl is my daughter and the boy is my brother's. I was hoping to adopt a boy today, and we thought that he needed to get along with these two pretty well, so he let me bring them." Douglas explained. The woman smiled happily before leading them over to a small room where four boys sat and played.
"These four have been ready for adoption for about six months now. Why don't we let these two play with them for a bit before you decided which one to bring into your family?" The woman suggested before grabbing onto Douglas' arm and puling him out of the room. Outside of the room, held a window in which the two adults watched the children play. Adam took Bree's hand in his own, silently telling her that it would be okay. He looked over the supposed four boys, only seeing three at first glance. None looked particularly like they cared. The first boy was about four or five, sitting and teasing the others. Adam shook his head and moved his sights into the next. The second boy sat crying over a broken toy. Adam knew instantly that they boy there would never make it with him around. Douglas had given him something in which he was now able to break every one of Bree's toys. She never cried though, just sat in the corner and pouted for a bit. Adam shook his head as he skipped right past the third boy. He was much too tall and skinny to fit in with Adam and Bree.
"What about him?" Bree whispered as she pointed into the far right corner of the small room. There, in the corner, sat a boy about a year old. He held a piece of paper and a crayon as he drew out the room at hand. Adam looked down to see Bree was simply infatuated with the boy. He seemed to be different from the others, just like themselves. Adam nodded as he pulled Bree over to the boy. Bree smiled happily before plopping down next to him, tapping his shoulder in the process. Adam stood up straight as he watched them. The boy looked over to Bree, simply shell shocked at the fact that someone had joined him in the corner.
"I'm Bree, and that's Adam." Bree started happily. The boy smiled as he looked into Bree's eyes. Bree's smile grew as the stare between the two drew on. Adam shook his head before resting on his knees in front of the two.
"What's your name?" Adam tried. The boy glanced down to the ground before looking back up to Adam.
"Chase. My brothers don't like me." He mumbled as he pointed to the other boys in the room. Chase seemed to be the youngest of the four as Adam glanced back at the other three.
"We like you. Come live with us?" Bree added, taking Chase's hand into her own. Chase's smile grew as he looked from Bree to Adam expectantly. He nodded, feeling already a lot better.
"Okay." He whispered. Bree laughed and pulled him up, trying to get him to walk. The boy smiled and stood up, a little wobbly as he did so. Adam raced to his side and picked him up into his arms before Bree could protest.
"Adam!" She whined as she trailed after the two. Adam laughed as he walked over to the door, waiting for it to open. The door popped open to reveal Douglas with a bright smile.
"I think we've found your new brother."
-end of flashback-
Bree started panicking
"Adam." She whimpered as the tears slid down her face. You could tell that she really cared for him. A smirk graced his face as his eyes slid open. He stared towards Bree.
"You and Chase have been in love since the start." He teased as he sat up. Bree breathed a sigh of relief as she threw her arms around him. Chase frowned as he patted his back. I just sat back, and stared at them. Since I never had anyone to care for this was new territory for me.
"What do you mean?" Chase wondered.
"I can remember way back to when we adopted you." Adam explained. He had a dazed look in his eye as he finished. How would that be able to happen? Unless...
"How did you do that? I read somewhere in Mr. Davenport's computer that he and Douglas blocked the memories out from our childhood before the lab from our chips. That's where our memories were stored before he deleted them." Chase rambled. I studied Chase before Adam talked. He was in his own little world when his thoughts took over. I knew that, because I've always experienced that.
"Well looks like I discovered my new ability. I have super memory!" He teased as I decided to pull him up off the ground. Bree frowned as she latched onto Chase and stood up as well. Chase looked to me, as he tried to catch up to his racing thoughts. I gave him a reassuring nod to put his mind at ease. That was the only problem with having super smarts. Once you found a problem there always had to be a solution, and a fast one too.
"That is possible. I have a super memory type ability. Douglas never have it an official term." I explained knowingly.
"Thanks buddy!" Adam cheered as He patted my shoulder. I laughed and nodded.
"So what? Adam gets two new abilities within the past couple of months, Chase gets a new one every other day, and here I am, just my vocal manipulation." Bree ranted angrily. Chase rubbed her back as he tried to calm her down. This wasn't annoying at all, I knew what I had to do though. I sighed and took a step forward before hovering my hand above Bree's neck.
"May I?" I asked, sounding more annoyed than I'd intended. She nodded warily before I placed my hand above her chip. Her eyes closed as I did accessed her abilities. I guess this was just a perk to being an android. Chase gripped Bree's hand protectively as he waited for her to open her eyes.
"What are you doing?" Chase hissed, sounding as though Spike was about come out fighting. It made me flinch a little, I was too weak for all of this.
"There. Now, try out your new ability." I announced as I gave Bree the floor. Bree's eyes flew open as she looked from Adam to Chase worriedly. She probably thinks I did something evil to her.
"What is it?" Bree questioned as she clasped her other hand around her and Chase's connected hands. I laughed and rolled my eyes at her.
"Just imagine that your invisible." I stated simply as a response. A very spooked Bree nodded and closed her eyes, concentrating on what I had told her before she and Chase both disappeared into nowhere.
"Whoa, what was that?" Adam asked shocked as he slapped My shoulder lightly. I rolled my eyes at his simplistic attitude.
"She had invisibility on her chip. I thought that may come in handy tomorrow." I said before Bree and Chase appeared once again, Chase giving Bree some type of weird grin I had seen him do about a dozen times just today alone.
"That was awesome!" He cheered as he pulled Bree into a hug. She laughed and leaned her head against his chest as they held each other. I scoffed playfully as I walked over to them.
"Okay, break it up. We need to plan for tomorrow." I ordered. We needed to get serious. My life was literally on the line. Bree nodded as she pulled away from Chase, still holding him tightly.
"Well, what did you two have planned for tomorrow, anyhow?" Chase started. My eyes lit up at the mention.
"Douglas wanted to go to a One Direction concert. I was going to go with him just so... He complains all the time if I don't do things with him." I reaffirmed as I remembered the whole drilling situation. Talk about father son bonding time.
"No way! Mr. Davenport wanted to go to that." Adam remembered. So they were both scarily obsessed with One Direction? I was in trouble if I got saved.
"Those two are almost too much alike." Bree scoffed. Chase laughed lightly and nodded.
"So? Do you guys know what this means?" I asked hopefully. Adam shook his head as Bree and Chase began to make knowing looks each other's way. "We will all meet up at the concert. Douglas will never see it coming." I announced excitedly.
"So we meet up with you two backstage, drag uncle Dougy off somewhere and murder him?" Bree teased. Adam laughed and high fived my sister before I held up my hand, motioning for them to stop.
"We're not going to murder him, we're simply going to give him what he deserves." I defended. Chase nodded along with me.
"Yeah, everyone already thinks he's dead anyway." Well that escalated quickly.
