CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR, bionic showdown

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

"Guys, that was awesome. You just prevented the biggest oil spill in history." Leo complimented the team as they came in cheering after their successful mission.

"Pretty slick, huh?" Chase punned, looking at Leo who fake smiled. "If only we could've prevented that disaster of a pun." He retorted before walking away from them.

"Hey, Mr Davenport? Anything you'd like to say to us, rhymes with, 'Good job'?" Bree asked the Davenport man who approached them. "The answer's in the clue." Adam loudly whispered.

Donald rolled his eyes. "What were you guys thinking?" He asked the bionic siblings as Adam shook his head with a smile. "Nope. Not even close. Two more guesses."

"You completely ignored my mission plan," The Davenport man continued to scold. "improvised everything and jeopardised the entire mission."

The bionic trio turned around and followed him with their eyes. "Mr Davenport, we bust our butts all the time. And all you ever do is sit around the lab making lists of what we did wrong." He mentioned.

"I do not just sit around making lists of things you did wrong." Donald went to disagree, acting like he hadn't just made a list.

"That's true." Leo pointed out. "He also practices Tai Quan Do in his tighty-whities." Emilia and him almost gagged referring to the last part.

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

"Whatever they are, keep your sweeping high kicks away from my screen." Eddy told his inventor, earning a pointed look from the man before he turned back to Adam, Bree and Chase to tell them. "Look, you guys got lucky this time, but without my precise planning, you're opening yourselves up for disaster. So just follow my orders." He instructed.

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

"Excuse me?" Donald scoffed as Emilia shook her head with wide eyes.

"He said, 'Well, maybe your orders aren't—" The Davenport man interrupted Adam as he yelled. "I heard him!"

Following on the next morning, the trio were still annoyed with Donald who yelled at them for not listening to his instructions. Emilia stood in the kitchen, laughing as Leo just walked away from Donald with his mouth covered with milk.

"I'm just going to go down to the lab. I forgot my bag." Emilia told Donald who nodded, letting her rush downstairs.

Scrolling through his tablet, it took a few minutes before Donald heard a loud echoing scream that came from downstairs. "Emilia!" He immediately recognised the loud banshee voice before running down to the lab to see what the problem was.

Stepping out the elevator, he widened his eyes in shock at the sight of Emilia laying unconscious in the middle of the lab. He chucked his tablet on his desk before running in to check on her when he stopped in his tracks at the familiar voice that filled his ears that he hadn't heard in years.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." The male voice tuttered as Donald turned around to see his younger brother, Douglas, who had a smirk on his face. "Douglas?" He called out to the man with a look of shock. He looked back at Emilia before exclaiming. "What did you do to her?"

Douglas chuckled evilly, shaking his head. "Oh, I didn't do that." He informed.

"I did." Another man came out from behind the corner, having a thick british accent that made Donald furrow his brows in question. "Oh, I'm sorry. Did Tasha not tell you about Emilia's family history?"

Donald narrowed his eyes slightly until he soon realised after putting it all together.

"Nick."

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Emilia fluttered her eyes open with her vision all becoming a blur to her as all she could see was a shine of blue and many figures standing around her. Additionally, attempting to move her mouth was suspiciously impossible as the girl could feel something trapping her lips together.

"Look who finally woke up." Nick teased, noticing the girl opening her eyes before taking in her surroundings. Her eyes were pulled above her as she felt some weight in her arms to see her hands were tied up in chains. As she went to move, she suddenly muffled a scream of pain as the chains dug into her skin, making drops of blood seep down her arms.

"What the hell are you doing to her?!" Donald shouted in worry for the Hunter girl.

Nick glared over at him. "I'm taking back what's rightfully mine after your wife stole her." He seethed, making Donald narrow his eyes at the mention of Tasha. "And it just so happens that Douglas is doing the same thing."

"First off, she did not steal your daughter. Lily gave Emilia to her because she knew she would be safe from you who was still hunting them down." Donald reminded before looking towards his brother. "And second, you are not going anywhere near Adam, Bree and Chase."

"I'm not going to them." Douglas chuckled. "Once they find out you're here, and especially her," He gestured to Emilia. "they'll come to me." The computer then blipped making Douglas' smirk widen. "Well, look who's home. 4:00 sharp, right on time."

"You've been spying on us?" Donald scoffed in disbelief.

"For months." Douglas nodded. "And trust me, Eddy's not the only one who's revolted by your sweeping high kicks." He practically gagged.

Donald sighed before turning to look at Emilia with a frown. "Atleast pull the tape off her!"

"Ah. Not yet." Nick clicked his tongue. "She'll scream otherwise. Just like her mother." He pointed out making Emilia muffle another scream at the mention of her mother. "Just like that." He chuckled to himself.

Marcus then walked into the room and sat on the chair in front of the computer when he heard Chase say from the house. "Let's ask Eddy."

"Don't bother. I deactivated him hours ago." He smirked through the camera.

"Marcus." Leo let out with widened eyes.

"He got his own TV show?" Adam gasped. "What channel is this?" Adam wondered, cluelessly.

"What do you want, Marcus?" Leo questioned, glaring daggers at the boy. "I'm just checking on my favourite bionic friends." Marcus revealed.

Chase looked back at his siblings with a look of shock. "He knows we're bionic?" He questioned, before they all looked at Marcus.

"I heard you were looking for your daddy, and precious Emilia." Marcus hummed. "Well, he's right here." He moved to the side for the four of them to see Donald stood in a cage before their eyes widened even bigger hearing a loud muffled scream coming from Emilia. Marcus looked back at the camera. "And if you ever want to see them again, I suggest you come get out them."

"Guys, don't fall for it. It's a—" Donald tried to say but Marcus cut them off, before he could finish the sentence.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Listening to Donald's and Douglas' conversation had made Emilia discover the secret that Donald had been hiding to keep the kids safe. Douglas then called Marcus in to deal with Adam, Bree and Chase who had just arrived.

Emilia muffled out a scream as Marcus walked past, glowing his bright green eyes. Keeping her eyes on the screen, she watched as Marcus fought them off before Chase used his new hidden ability to knock Marcus to the floor, allowing them to have the chance to run inside.

She furrowed her brows as music played through the room. "For unstable sociopaths, you're taste in music could be a lot better." Donald scoffed.

Douglas shut off the music. "You were in a boy band." He reminded his brother making Emilia slight raise a brow. "It was not a boy band. It was an acapella group that just happened to be made up of boys." Donald corrected his brother.

"You two make me want to kill people." Nick muttered in annoyance.

"Like you haven't done it before." Douglas looked at the Anderson man. "If you're really here to reunite with your daughter, don't you think she should know what really happened to her mother?" He confessed for him.

"How dare you—" Nick was interrupted by the banshee who screamed in pain, causing more blood to seep down her arms.

"You what?!" Donald screamed in shock, looking at Emilia in worry before their attention was brought to the doorway as Adam, Bree and Chase ran in.

"Mr Davenport." Bree called out, seeing the man in no harm. Though, they couldn't say the same for Emilia as Chase's eyes moved straight towards her. "Emilia!" He called out her name, a slight voice crack evident in his voice.

Seeing them there made her unsettled since she didn't want them to be in any harm but let out a scream every time she moved.

Nick and Douglas smirked at the newcomers that have just arrived. "Oh, goody. Everyone's here. Party time!" Douglas announced.

"I've secured the perimeter." Marcus informed as he ran into the room. "They're ours now."

Chase walked towards the cage. "Mr Davenport, what is going on? Who are these guys?" He questioned.

"Who are these guys?" Douglas repeated, looking at his brother in question. "Donny, you never told them about me?" He questioned, making Donald look down with a sigh. "I'm deeply offended. Adam, Bree, Chase..." He gestured to himself before revealing. "I'm your father."
