iv. bionic showdown

——

Freya, Leo, and Davenport were in the lab awaiting for Adam, Bree, and Chase to return from their mission. Ever since Freya has met them, she has never experienced their missions or seen them in their mission suits. She knows she won't ever go on a mission, but she enjoys hearing about them.

It wasn't to long after that the bionic teens came running in cheering.

Leo and Freya went up to them.

"Guys, that was awesome!" Leo beamed. "You just prevented the biggest oil spill in history!"

"Pretty slick, huh," Chase grinned, attempting to make a joke and Freya frowned.

"If only we could've prevented that disaster of a pun," Freya remarked and sat on the cyber desk as Leo went back to his desk.

"Hey, Mr. Davenport. Anything you'd like to say to us?" Bree asked Davenport, who approached them. "Rhymes with, 'good job'?"

"The answer's in the clue," Adam whispered to him.

"What were you guys thinking?" Davenport asked them.

"Nope. Not even close. Two more guesses," Adam said.

"You completely ignored my mission plan, improvised everything, and jeopardized the entire mission," Davenport exclaimed walking past them and the teens turned to him.

"Mr. Davenport, we bust our butts all the time." Chase protested. "And all you ever do is sit around the lab making lists of what we did wrong."

"I do not just sit around making lists of 'things you did wrong'." Davenport denied and Freya frowned, staring at the tablet he was holding.

"Then why do you have a list called 'things Adam, Bree, and Chase did wrong?'" Freya asked, pointing to the list she can see on his tablet. The teens glanced at her, before turning to their father with unamused expressions.

"He also practices Taekwondo in his tighty-whities," Leo added and Freya chuckled, nodding.

"They are not tighty-whities," Davenport defended. "They are breathable exercise briefs."

"That also happen to be white," Freya added and Davenport gave her a glare.

"Whatever they are keep your swinging high kicks away from my screen!" Eddie called.

Freya calls Eddie the annoying mosquito on the wall. He sucks all the fun out of everything. Like Chase, just more annoying.

"Look, you guys got lucky this time, but without my precise planning you're opening yourselves up for disaster." Davenport firmly berated them. "So just follow my orders."

"Well, maybe your orders aren't always right."

Freya looked at Chase in disbelief. She couldn't believe he said that.

Davenport froze and turned to Chase. "Um, excuse me?"

Adam groaned. "He said 'well, maybe your orders aren't-"

"I heard him!" Davenport snapped and Freya averted her eyes awkwardly as Davenport walked away.

"You could feel the tension in the air," Freya gently grabbed the air around her and Adam made a face.

"You can feel tension in the air? All I feel is oxygen."

Freya rolled her eyes, hopping off the cyber desk.

——

Dark chuckling was heard as the screen zoomed out to reveal Marcus watching the bionic teens, Leo, and Freya talk.

"I love watching them snap at each other," Marcus smirked and eyed Freya. "Whole team is falling apart. They seemed to have gained a brand new friend. I can easily take her out."

A hand grabbed the tablet and Marcus looked up to see Douglas Davenport. Donald's brother.

"I've seen enough. Marcus, it's time to reclaim what's mine," Douglas said and swiped on the tablet to a picture of Douglas and Donald standing in front of the 'Davenport Industries' logo.

"Let's go pay a visit to my big brother."

He slammed the tablet on the ground and walked away with Marcus following him.

——

~The Next Day~

Freya was packing her bag for school today. She had realized she had left her jacket at Davenport's house and quickly grabbed her stuff, before rushing out to get it before school. She thankfully lived right down the street from them, so it wouldn't take long.

Freya rushed over to the Davenport household and went inside to only see Leo.

"Hey, I left my jacket in the lab." She waved and Leo waved back, drinking his glass of milk.

"Mm!"

She made it down to the lab and wondered if Davenport was here.

"Mr. Davenport I left my jacket here, do you-"

Freya froze in her tracks when she saw the scene in front of her. Mr. Davenport was laying on the ground unconscious and standing there was Marcus and Douglas.

"Uh..." Freya swallowed nervously and Marcus turned to her.

"Oh look," Marcus laughed and Douglas turned around. "Blondie is here."

"Marcus?" Freya asked in confusion. She had met Marcus, but had mixed feelings about him due to Leo telling her bad things about him. I guess Leo is right.

"Hello Freya," Marcus smiled, walking up to her slowly. "Seems like someone else knows the bionic secret."

"Who are you?" Freya asked Douglas, who chuckled.

"You'll find out," he said and looked at Marcus.

"Get her."

Freya panicked and tried to run out of the lab, but got shot to ground by Marcus's laser vision. She landed on the floor unconscious and Marcus walked over, throwing her over her shoulder.

"The more the merrier," Douglas commented. "More reason for Adam, Bree, and Chase to fall into our trap."

——

~Douglas's Lab~

"Freya? Freya?"

Freya groaned, feeling her head pounding as her eyes opened. In front of her was Davenport and she let out a breath as she looked around. She was in a cage in a different place than the lab and sat up gently with the help of Davenport.

"What's happening?" She asked, rubbing her head and Davenport assisted her to her feet. "Where are we?"

"It's a long story. But this is my brother's lab. Douglas." Davenport told her and Freya frowned, remembering what happened.

"I saw Douglas before Marcus shot me," Freya mentioned. "I tried to leave, but he got me."

"I'm sorry this happened to you," Davenport apologized. "I will explain everything once Adam, Bree, and Chase get us out of here. Are you okay?"

"My head hurts, but that could just be from my time of the month or that I got shot by lasers," Freya shrugged and Davenport made a face.

"Ah, blondie woke up!" Douglas smiled as he walked in and sat at his desk. "You weren't originally part of the plan. But the more the merrier, am I right? Add the best friend into the mix that will get Adam, Bree, and Chase even more reason to show up."

"You know you'll never gonna get away with this." Davenport told him.

"Yeah, that's what you said when I stole $20 from dad's wallet. And guess what? I got away with it." Douglas did finger guns. "Boom!"

"Oh, no, no, no! You do not go boom!" Davenport protested. "I go boom! That's my thing! Boom." Davenport did the finger guns and then pretended to blow out the steam and put it away.

Freya rubbed her forehead with two fingers, sighing.

"Well, I guess I stole that too." Douglas remarked . "Just like you stole Adam, Bree, and Chase."

Freya frowned in confusion.

"I did not steal them! I was protecting them from you." Davenport exclaimed.

"What?" Freya asked, "stole them?"

"I found a way to use our bionic technology in humans, and you ripped it out of my hands!" Douglas snapped, going up to the cage.

"You were gonna make bionic soldiers and rent them out of here highest bidder," Davenport reasoned. "You were gonna use kids for evil purposes."

"You say that like it's a bad thing," Douglas frowned. "I could do it to blondie here."

"Leave her out of this," Davenport told him.

"I don't need bionics to be evil. I do that on my own," Freya scoffed.

"Just trying to meet the needs of my customers. It's not my fault they're all dictators and madmen," Douglas continued and the computer beeped. The three looked at the computer to see Adam, Bree, and Chase had arrived at the house. "What do you know? We've got company."

"Trust me. They will defeat you," Davenport warned.

"Oh! I'm so scared!" Douglas sarcastically said. "You forget I have a bionic weapon of my own." He pressed a button. "Marcus!"

Marcus ran out. "Is it time?"

"It is. Go welcome our guests." Douglas ordered and Marcus began to walk out. He smirked at Davenport and Freya, flashing them with his green eyes for a second before running out.

"Boom!" Douglas did finger guns at Davenport.

"You don't even do it right!" Davenport complained.

"Neither of you do it right!" Freya groaned, taking a seat on the ground.

——

"I wouldn't do that-"

Freya didn't get to finish because Mr. Davenport had touched the cage lasers and got shocked.

"Told you."

Freya had grown bored of sitting in the cage.

"For someone who kidnaps people, you are really boring at it," Freya criticized Douglas, standing up. "Where's the fun? Where's the torture? The only torture is this god awful music."

Douglas gasped at her words. "How dare you say that about jazz music."

Davenport shrugged, enjoying the music. "Yeah, for an unstable sociopath, your taste in music could be a lot better."

Douglas shut off the music. "You were in a boy band."

"It was not a boy band," Davenport protested. "It was an a cappella group that just happened to be made up of boys."

Freya raised her eyebrow at this as Davenport realized what he said.

"Did you have matching outfits and everything?" Freya chuckled and Davenport shrugged, looking away.

"Maybe..."

Adam, Bree, and Chase ran in.

"Freya! Mr. Davenport!"

Freya smiled at their presence, happy to see them.

"Finally! Some action!"

"Oh goody! Everyone's here! Party time!" Douglas laughed and Marcus ran in unharmed from his fight with the bionic teens.

"I've secured the perimeter. They're ours now."

"Mr. Davenport, what is going on?" Chase asked, walking up to the cage and looked at Douglas. "Who is this guy?"

"Who is this guy?" Douglas repeated. "Donny, you never told them about me? I am deeply offended. Adam, Bree, Chase... I'm your father."

Freya's eyes grew in shock. Adam, Bree, and Chase stood there in disbelief and turned to Davenport, who couldn't bare to look at them. His eyes were on the floor.

——

Leo was in the lab, standing there gobsmacked with his hands on his head.

"I'm so confused!" Eddie said.

"How are you not following this? You're a computer!" Leo asked.

"So, Marcus is bionic?" Eddie asked.

"Yes."

"And Douglas is Marcus's father."

"Yes."

"And now he says he's Adam, Bree, and Chase's father."

"Yes."

"But he's also Donald's brother."

"Yes!"

"Wow, so there's another Davenport?!" Leo nodded. "And he's evil? Ask him if he's hiring."

Leo rolled his eyes at Eddie.

——

~Douglas's Lab~

Chase looked at Douglas. "What do you mean, you're our father?"

"He's our father," Bree added, pointing to Davenport.

"No, that's what he's been telling you," Douglas denied, grabbing a remote.

"I don't know who you are, but you're going down," Adam threatened. Before Adam could attack, Douglas pressed a button and the three got teleported into the cage with Freya and Davenport.

"You mastered short range teleportation before I did?" Davenport asked in shock. "I've been working on that for years!"

"I know. I'm awesome," Douglas chuckled.

"You're still going down," Adam warned and tried to use his abilities, but couldn't. "My super strength. It's gone."

Bree tried to run and her super speed didn't activate. "So is my speed."

Chase touched his temple. "I got nothing."

"That's because I designed these lasers to block the signals from your bionic chips. That's right. Daddy gave you toys, but he can also take them away," Douglas faked pouted before laughing.

Freya folded her arms and sat down again, leaning her chin on her hand.

Chase knelt down to her. "You alright, Freya?"

Freya eyes found him and shrugged. "Been better. Didn't imagine my day would end up like this. But thanks for asking."

She patted his shoulder and Chase pressed his lips together, nodding.

"You're welcome."

As Chase stood up, her eyes scanned his new mission suit. She didn't mind the new suits. They looked pretty good.

He looked pretty good.

——

"Well, Marcus, we finally captured them," Douglas smiled at Marcus. "Actually, I captured them. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me."

Freya rolled her eyes, now seeing the resemblance between the Davenport brothers.

"You've got one of those too, huh?" Chase smugly asked Marcus.

"You have no idea," Marcus replied.

"Don't associate with the enemy," Freya whacked Chase's arm.

"Come on!" Douglas snapped his fingers, walking to the door. "We got work to do."

Marcus groaned, putting his hands out in irritation as he followed him.

"Mr. Davenport," Chase looked at Davenport. "Why did that guy say that he was our father?"

"Because, technically, he is your father," Davenport admitted. "And my brother."

"What?" Bree asked.

"How is that even possible?" Chase asked.

"Wait, so does this mean Chase is also my father?" Adam asked and Freya smacked her forehead with her hand.

"Years ago, Douglas and I started Davenport Industries together. It was great. We had a cute, little lab. Not as good as the big lab I have now, but the. We didn't nearly have as much money-"

"Get to the point! I'll make you touch those lasers again!" Freya threatened.

"Right. We developed bionics so that robots could do the jobs that were too danger for people but then Douglas went behind my back and implanted them into genetically engineered humans." Davenport finished explaining.

"You mean us?" Adam asked.

"No Adam. The Green Bay Packers." Bree sarcastically remarked.

"Your bionic chips were never designed to be interfaced with the human nervous system," Davenport continued.

"So, that's why we glitch," Chase nodded.

"Exactly."

"Oh. And all these years I just thought it was cause you're a terrible scientist." Adam mentioned.

"Douglas also high all kind of secret codes in your chips," Davenport added. "That's why you have all these mysterious new abilities popping up out of nowhere."

"So, if your brother created us, how did we end up with you?" Bree asked.

"He wanted to make you into cyber-soldiers of mass destruction but I knew that if I raised you in a safe environment I could train you to be bionic heroes. So I built the lab and hid you there." Davenport explained.

"Wow, so everything we've ever known about ourselves, about you, it's all been..."

"One big lie," Bree finished for Chase.

"Wow, this changes everything." Adam then gasped. "Am I Jewish?"

"Please tell me there's another unexpected twist to where I find out that I'm not related to him," Bree mentioned and Freya chuckled, standing up. She stumbled due to her butt getting numb.

"Oi, this one with futzing and the complaining!" Adam said in a fake Italian accent.

"Look, I wanted to tell you guys, but I figured the less you knew, the safer you'd be." Davenport reasoned.

"But we trusted you!" Chase protested. "I mean if you're lying about this, then who knows what else you were lying about."

"Exactly," Adam said and grabbed Davenport's hair.

"Ow!" Davenport gasped. "What're you doing?"

"He's not lying about the hair. Just looks fake," Adam told the others and Freya raised an eyebrow.

"Could be glued on," she said and Adam gasped.

"She's right!"

"Let go!" Davenport whacked his hand away, glaring at him.

——

Douglas walked over to the Davenports and Freya.

"Hello family. Hello blondie." He greeted.

"We're not your family," Bree protested. "Let us out of here."

"Yeah, you can't force us to be your cyber-soldiers." Chase told him.

"Actually, I can, Boy Wonder," Douglas said and Freya snickered, which made Chase hit her arm. "See when I created you, I installed my triton app on your chips and once it's activated, I'll control your bodies. And your minds. You'll do whatever I want. Whether it's start a World War, or some light housekeeping."

"Oh, no way. You cannot make me vacuum!" Adam yelled and Chase held him back.

"Why do you need us?" Bree asked. "You already have Marcus. And apparently a barber with a sense of humor."

"Marcus is just an android," Douglas nonchalantly shrugged, glancing at Marcus, who was recharging in his cell. "He's not sleeping, he's recharging." Douglas showed them the vitals and information about Marcus. "Trouble with androids is they burn out too quick. He won't make it to his 16th birthday. But don't tell him that, he thinks he's getting a car."

"Well, that's rude." Freya scoffed. "First you kidnap five people and then not care if your son dies?"

"Yep!" Douglas laughed.

The computer beeped and on the screen was Leo standing outside the house with a red wagon with weapons.

Freya gasped at the sight. "Leo!"

"Oh, look who showed up to be a hero!" Douglas grinned, sitting on the chair. "And this one's not even bionic. I can take him out with the sprinklers."

"No!" Freya yelled.

"Leave him alone! He's just a kid!" Davenport exclaimed.

"A nosy kid who keeps getting in our way!" Douglas frowned. "You're lucky blondie here was easy to capture. I could turn you into a soldier of my own."

"Don't even think of doing that to her," Chase warned.

"Stay away from Leo!" Bree warned.

"Don't worry, princess," Douglas assured Bree. "I'm not gonna hurt him."

He pressed a button and Marcus's capsule opened and he walked out.

"Marcus wanted that privilege all to himself," Douglas continued, walking up to Marcus. "Your little friend Leo is back. This time take care of him. For good."

"Done," Marcus smirked, looking at the Davenports and Freya. Douglas put his hand up for a high five, but Marcus ignored it and walked out.

Douglas looked up and then turned to Marcus. "Really dude? You're just gonna leave your character hanging like that?"

Freya watched as Marcus went outside to Leo and she covered her mouth as he used his bionics to destroy his weapons and then he blasted him away.

"LEO!" Freya cried out and turned away, leaning into the first person she saw. It was Chase

"No!" The others gasped.

——

Freya was distraught. She didn't know if Leo was alive or not. She was stilling leaning into Chase, feeling hopeless.

"Poor Leo," Bree sadly said. "He was trying to save us."

"He tried to warm up about Marcus and we ignored him," Chase sighed, rubbing Freya's back.

"When I get out of here, I'm taking you and Marcus down," Adam threatened Douglas, who was holding a device.

"Good luck with that," Douglas said. "Once I press this, it'll activate your triton apps, then I'll control you permanently."

"No!" Chase yelled as Freya moved over to Davenport.

"Stop!" Bree cried.

"Do Chase first!" Adam exclaimed as the three readied themselves for impact. Douglas pressed the button and the three grunted, expecting to get controlled. Freya looked away, not wanting to see, but nothing happened. Douglas pressed the button again and the three grunted, but nothing happened.

Pressed it a third time and nothing happened.

"Well, that was anticlimactic," Freya scoffed.

"Marcus, did you put batteries in this thing?!" Douglas called out to Marcus.

"HA!" Davenport laughed. "I went into their chips and put a block on your app a long time ago. Ooh, it is so good watching you eat it!" Davenport did a little dance and touched the lasers, zapping himself. "Ow!"

"Very clever, Donny!" Douglas scolded and went over to his computer. "But I'll get around it. I've always been a better programmer than you." He typed vigorously on the computer for a few moments and laughed. "There! See?! Only eight minutes till my cypher key decrypts your block and activates the triton app! What're you gonna do? Call mommy?" He fake pouted, but got serious. "If you do, don't tell her I'm alive."

——

"Guys, there's only 4 minutes left until the block is decrypted. We have to get out of here!" Freya cried.

"If we could find a way to deflect one of these beams, we could take out the control console and deactivate the laser source." Davenport explained. "I don't suppose anybody has a mirror on them."

"If any of us had a mirror on them, it'd be you," Bree remarked and he smiled.

"There must be something we can use," Chase said.

"Well, I can't think on an empty stomach," Adam shrugged and bent down, pulling out a granola bar from his shoe.

"You brought a granola bar?" Chase asked in disbelief.

"Yep. Thanks for taking my suggestion on the snack holder," Adam grinned at Davenport:

"That was supposed to be for a weapon" Davenport informed him.

"Oi, this one with the weapons," Adam said in his terrible Italian accent.

"You don't bring me a snack?" Freya asked. "I'm starving."

Adam split the granola bar and gave it to her. She smiled and took a bite.

"Hey, we can use this as a reflective surface," Bree pointed to the wrapper.

"Yes! But it will never withstand the intensity of the beams. We need something to support it," Davenport reasoned. "Something hard and flat."

"How about Adam's head?" Chase joked and Freya chuckled.

"What about your belt buckle?" Bree asked Davenport.

"Yes!" He smiled and removed his belt buckle. "Wait, this is custom."

"Really?" Freya frowned and took the belt buckle, giving it to Bree.

Bree put the wrapper around the belt buckle. "There now we've got a mirror."

"Step aside, ladies. Let the big boys take care of this," Chase told the girls, grabbing the belt buckle.

"When are they getting here?" Freya asked with a chuckle and Bree laughed. Bree and Freya stood behind the boys as they struggled with figuring out how to do it.

"Tilt back in the Z axis," Davenport told Chase, who was holding the belt buckle near the laser.

"Almost got it." He said.

"No, no, not that one. That one," Adam told them and Davenport and Chase looked at him. "I had my snack. I'm ready to help. Hold this."

Adam took the belt buckle, ready to touch the laser with it. Chase and Davenport were stammering nervously as Adam did this. Freya and Bree shared a look.

"You want to or me?" Bree asked.

"I'll do it. Ive been here longer," Freya shrugged and snatched the belt buckle from Adam. "Give it to me! Move it little boys!"

She shoved her way into between Adam and Chase and carefully angled the belt buckle. It touched the laser and it reflected off the belt buckle onto the computer, causing it to explode and the cage deactivated.

"That's how you get it done, boys!" Freya smirked and Bree high fived her.

"YOLO!" Bree smiled.

Chase touched his temple. "Our bionics are back."

"Come on. Let's get out of here," Bree smiled.

The five ran toward the door, but stopped when Douglas walked in, clapping with Marcus.

"Bravo," Douglas praised. "But just cause a dog gets out of his cage. Doesn't mean he's going for a walk."

"Wait, you have a dog? Where, where, where?!" Adam gasped and Freya whacked his arm.

Davenport put his arm in front of the four kids. "Douglas, you're not getting these kids."

Freya made sure to hide behind the bionic teens, because she knew she wouldn't stand a chance. She's tough, but not stupid.

"Wrong again, Donny," Douglas told him. "Look, the decryption is complete. Now, I'll have total control of their-"

Davenport kicked the remote out of his hand and it flung into the air. Freya looked up and it landed onto the catwalk above them.

"Ow!" Douglas cried and attacked Davenport, pushing him back. The four teens moved back with Freya staying the furthest behind.

"Guys! Run!" Davenport told them.

"We're not leaving without you!" Bree protested.

"Take Freya! And go!" He cried.

"Don't have to tell me twice!" Freya said and the four began to run.

"Marcus, stop them!" Douglas ordered and threw punch at Davenport.

Marcus super sped in front of the the four, making them stop. Freya stumbled a bit, touching Chase's arm.

"Out of our way, Marcus," Chase warned.

"Not a chance, I'm more powerful then all of you," Marcus remarked. "Especially blondie."

"Oh, he's lying! I haven't seen him at the gym once!" Adam scoffed. Adam threw a punch, but Marcus grabbed his fist and lifted him up and slammed him on the ground.

Freya gasped at this as Bree went over to him.

"Adam!"

Freya looked behind her to still see the Davenport brothers fighting. They were on the catwalk.

"Chase..." Freya started and he looked back at her.

"Stay behind me," he told her and Freya nodded, moving back as he got into fighting position. "No one touches my brother, you freak!"

Marcus gestured him to get him and Chase attacked him. Marcus dodged his punches and grabbed Chase, throwing him over for the catwalk. Freya cried out as Chase was now hanging into the chains of the catwalk.

"Chase!"

She turned to Marcus and he smiled.

"Want to try, blondie?"

"Nope!" She shook her head and hid behind a pillar in the back. Marcus supersped up to the catwalk and stood in front of Chase.

"Let's make this fun, huh?" Marcus smirked and kicked Chase. He went over to a computer and pressed them buttons, which made the floor open to a grinder.

Freya's eyes grew in horror.

Chase yelled. "Who has that in their house?!"

"This place used to be a sausage factory. You could fit a whole cow in there!" Marcus mentioned.

"Chase! Hold on!" Bree yelled and Freya ran over to Bree and Adam. "Adam, Freya, go see if any of those buttons will close the floor."

"Oh, buttons!" Adam smiled as Bree helped him up and Bree supersped up the catwalk.

Adam and Freya went over to the desk. Marcus pushed one of Chase's hands off the chain, but Bree pushed Marcus away before he could do anything more. Bree grabbed Chase's hand, but Marcus attacked Bree and then knocked Chase's hand off again.

Freya was in the chair as Adam looked over. She smiled as she assumed she had it.

"Hey, I got it!" She smiled and they both turned to see that fire had appeared and she turned away with a sheepish look.

"Never mind!"

"Let me do it!" Adam told Freya shoving her out of the chair and she got up so he could sit.

"Work faster!" Chase yelled.

"Don't yell at us!" Freya yelled.

Davenport brothers were still fighting. Bree and Marcus were still fighting, however he was winning. Marcus managed to push Bree into a pole and she stumbled.

"Nice try, cupcake," Marcus grinned and knocked Chase's hand off again.

"Adam! Freya! Hurry!" Chase cried.

Marcus was about to knock Chase's hand off, but Bree kicked him away. He kicked her back, but she grabbed his arm and kicked him in the back, making he fall down. Bree ran to attack, but Marcus kicked her stomach and she fell down with a groan.

Marcus sat up and faced Chase. "Say goodbye, Chase."

He kicked Chase's hand off and Freya gasped in horror

"NO!"

Adam smiled as he got the button. "Got it!"

Before Chase could hit the floor, it closed and he landed on the ground roughly. Freya sighed with relief and she put her hand on her heart.

Adam and Freya went up to Chase to help him.

"Ow!" He said and Adam pulled him to his feet.

"Better then getting shredded to death," Freya pointed out and Chase nodded.

Marcus supersped down the catwalk and Bree quickly followed. Freya quickly went behind the bionic teens.

"You may be strong, but let's see you take on all four of us," Adam challenged and Freya frowned.

"Four?" She laughed and shook her head. "Nope."

She hid behind the pillar again as Adam, Bree, and Chase surrounded Marcus.

"Go ahead, creep. Take your best shot," Chase said.

"Gladly." Marcus said and formed a blue electric ball in the air. He then used it to attack the three and they fell to the ground.

"See, this is why I'm hiding," Freya mumbled.

On the catwalk, the Davenport brothers were still fighting over the remote.

"After all these years, we're still fighting over the remote?" Davenport asked. The fought across the catwalk, until Davenport made Douglas drop the remote near Freya and her eyes fell on it. Davenport kicked Douglas off the catwalk.

Freya ran out and grabbed the remote, but Marcus ran over and grabbed her.

"Ahh!" She yelled in his grasp.

"Let her go!" Davenport called.

"Now, their bionics are all mine!" Douglas laughed and Freya put the remote down her bra.

"Come get the remote. My boobs are sweaty!," Freya laughed and Douglas made a disgusted face.

From the ceiling, a large metal suit crashed through it and landed on the floor.

Freya's eyes grew in shock. "Woah!"

"Exoskeleton in the house!" Leo called and Freya smiled at the sound of his voice. "Or whatever you call this funky place."

"Leo, you're alive!" Davenport said with relief.

Marcus groaned with annoyance and this gave Freya the opportunity to elbow his stomach and she flipped him on his back. She ran over to the bionic teens and Davenport jumped down to the floor. Freya took out the remote and threw it in the ground, which gave Davenport the opportunity to smash it.

"You broke it! You always break my toys!" Douglas cried and they started to fight by grabbing each others hair. Freya looked at the three bionic teens in the floor and started to smack them.

"Wake up!" She yelled as Leo shot lasers as Marcus.

"How do you like me now, Marcus?" Leo teased.

"Still not a fan," Marcus replied and supersped over to him, knocking him down.

"So, this thing can bust through walls and shoot lasers, but it can't get back up?" Leo asked as he struggled to get off the floor.

"Well, it a prototype," Davenport shrugged.

Freya slapped Chase across the face and he groaned, waking up. Bree and Adam were waking up too.

"Ow!" Chase frowned.

"Look!" Freya pointed to Leo. "It's Leo!"

"You just don't seem to go away, Leo," Marcus threatened. "This time I'm going to finish you for good." Three metal blades appeared out of Marcus's knuckles and Leo yelled.

"Leo's alive!" Chase exclaimed.

"Nuh-uh. Not for long," Marcus grinned.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM!"

Adam's whole body began to charge with blue electricity and Freya backed up. The lights began to short circuit and the whole room started to rumble.

"What's going on?" Chase asked.

"I think he just discovered his new ability," Bree smiled.

"I think we should get behind him!" Freya advised and the three hid behind a pillar. Chase wrapped his arms around Freya, holding her near as Adam released the giant blast wave. It knocked Marcus over along with Douglas and Davenport. Bree, Chase, and Freya fall down too.

"That was awesome!" Adam smiled. Chase helped Freya to her feet and her, Bree, and Chase went up to Adam. "Wow, all that from one granola bar!"

"What's going on?" Leo asked still in the ground. "Are we winning?"

Douglas managed to sneak out without anyone noticing.

The room was started to fall apart and the lights were short circuiting. The whole house was gonna cave in on its self.

"We gotta get out of here! The whole place is coming down!" Chase advised and he grabbed Freya's hand, pulling her out with Adam and Bree. They stopped to help Leo up and Davenport went up to them.

"Where's Douglas?" Davenport asked.

"We have to go now!" Adam grabbed Davenport as Marcus stood up.

"You are not going anywhere," Marcus threatened and formed an energy ball in his hands. Above him the ceiling began to crumble and debris was falling.

"Marcus! Look out!" Chase warned and right then Marcus got covered in debris and rubble. Freya gasped, grabbing Chase's arm in shock.

"Let's go!" Chase yelled and he pulled Freya out the door with the others following quickly.

Underneath all the debris, a metal hand reached through. It short circuited for a moment and collapsed.

——

~Davenport House; Lab~

Adam, Bree, Chase, Leo, and Freya were in the lab, resting from their big mission. Adam was sitting on the chair as Chase, Leo, Bree, and Freya were sitting on the cyber desk. Freya was brushing debris out of her hair and her clothes.

Today was eventful for her to say the least.

Davenport walked in with an ice pack on his shoulder. "Guys, I just wanted to tell you. I'm really proud of what you did today. I'm really proud of who you've become. You're heroes. That's all I ever wanted you to be. You too, Leo and Freya."

Freya smiled, feeling flattered.

"Me? A hero?"

"Thanks, Big D," Leo grinned. "Sorry about your exoskeleton. You can take it out of my allowance."

"It costs a million dollars," Davenport remarked

"Easy come, easy go," Leo shrugged.

"More of all, I'm sorry I lied to you," Davenport apologized to the bionic kids.

"You don't have to apologize," Bree told him. "We get it."

"At least now you know Douglas is your real father," Davenport said and walked by them, feeling distraught.

"No, he's not," Chase shook his head and stood up. "He may have created us, but you made us who you are."

Freya stayed seated as the four went up to Davenport.

"You are our father," Chase told Davenport.

"Come here."

Davenport pulled the four of them into a group hug and Freya smiled at the sight.

"Aw."

"Freya, join the hug," Davenport gestured her over. "You're family now."

Freya smiled softly and got up, joining the group hug.

Davenport began to cry during the hug.

"Wow, this is the first time we've ever seen you cry," Adam mentioned.

"I'm not crying. I'm in pain," Davenport winced in pain and held his rib as they pulled away. "I think I cracked a rib. It hurts."

The four backed away carefully and Freya checked the time.

"Hey, I should get home." Freya told them. "I'll see you all tomorrow."

Freya waved at them and they waved back, muttering goodbyes.

"Freya, wait," Chase called and she turned to Chase, who had her jacket. "You forgot this. Again."

"Thanks," she smiled, taking the jacket and went to leave.

"Freya," Chase stopped her and Freya turned back to him. "I'm so sorry you got dragged into all that. I hope you're okay."

"My heart is beating and I'm standing on my feet. Don't worry, I'm okay." She assured him, patting his arm. "Being friends with three bionic teens, I knew what I am getting into it. It's dangerous, but it adds excitement into my life."

Chase chuckled and Freya smiled.

"I'm just glad you're okay."

Freya nodded, holding her hands together. She noticed the smallest hint of pink on his cheeks.

"You too," she said. "Bye Chase."

"Bye."

Chase watched her leave and let out a small sigh, shaking the feeling he felt off.
