Emilia stood in the hallway, with Bree and Adam when someone with an Irish accent approached them. "Oh, terribly sorry to trouble you, but could you help me find me locker?" The unfamiliar student asked.

"I-I'm sorry, I don't speak Leprechaun." Adam said, making Emilia whack his arm. "But he is fluent in doofus." Bree chimed in, before moving to stand beside the boy to look at his schedule.

She pointed in a direction. "Oh, you're right there at 324." Bree informed him with a smile. He went to walk away before turning around. "Oh! I'm Alistair, by the way. Foreign exchange student from Ireland." He told them, shaking the girls hand's. Emilia smiled softly as Bree introduced themselves. "Oh. Nice to meet you, Alistair. I'm Bree, this is Emilia and my brother, Adam. We can show you around, and he... can show you how to warm up a sandwich in your armpit."

Adam hummed. "But, I'm warning you, the cheese sticks are gonna get messy." He told the new kid. Emilia pursed her lips before smiling at the boy. "Welcome to America!" She called.

"Cheers." He tipped his hat before walking towards his locker.

Adam pulled the two girls aside. "Wait, a second. New kid? From a foreign country? Do you know what this means?"

"That you're not the only one we'll have to speak slowly to?" Bree questioned, making Adam sigh as he looked at the new kid. "No. He's a bionic spy. Well, think about it. Marcus with the 'new kid', and look what happened to him. We can't take any chances." Adam explained, before letting out another sigh as he looked back at the new boy. "You hold him down, I'll strip him for parts." He went to walk away when Emilia stopped him.

"No! Adam, you are overreacting. Alistair seems like a nice guy." Emilia told him, waving at the new boy along with Bree. "You know who also seemed like a nice guy? Marcus! Alistair's a bionic spy, and I'm gonna prove it." Adam declared. "Even if I have to learn how to speak Ireland-ish."

During gym class, Emilia, Adam and Bree grew confused at how Alistair seemed to have quick reflexes and have 'special abilities' that could make him do any accent just like Bree's vocal manipulation.

When it reached lunch time, they decided to come up with a plan to get more information on Alistair. "Okay, before you do anything drastic, we need proof that Alistair's a bionic spy." Bree said to her brother who nodded. "Right. Go into mission mode." He said, waving his hand in front of his face.

"Okay. Bree, you'll interrogate him and see if he slips up, but we have to have to be subtle." The auburn haired girl instructed. "Okay, I'll handle this." Bree replied, making Adam nod again.

"Right. Go into subtle mode." Adam said, waving his hand in front of his face. Bree approached the boy at the table, while Emilia and Adam stood around. "So, Alistair. What brings you to America?" Bree greeted as Adam bent down to the boy's height, suspiciously and creepily staring at him.

Alistair smiled up at Bree. "Well, it's a beautiful country and the people are-" He stopped, turning his head to look at Adam with furrowed brows. "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" Adam questioned.

"Just having a little lunch. You know, recharging me batteries." Alistair replied.

Emilia scoffed out a chuckle, pulling Adam up as he questioned. "Oh, so you run on batteries now? What's your game, mister?"

"Maybe I should just take me chips and go." The boy said, leaning back and grabbed his lunch tray before going to walk away. "Chips, huh? And what chips would those be? The bionic chip in your head?" Adam questioned. "Where are you going? Are you scared? You should be, 'cause we're onto you!"

He turned back to the girl. "Be honest, was that too subtle?" He questioned, making the girls huff out a breath in reply.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Back in gym class, the group of three were trying to find another way to figure out what was up with Alistair.

"Since your 'subtle' interrogation failed, I think it's time we try a different tactic." Bree looked between the two, referring to what Adam had done earlier. "Or we could do exactly what we did before and hope for a different result." He suggested.

"No, I'm talking about a friendly game of dodgeball." Bree informed him, making Emilia hum before asking. "Does it have to be friendly? I want to hit people." Bree shook her head, making Emilia frown before the speedster continued on to explain what her plan was. "If Alistair is bionic, his instinctive reflexes will automatically kick in."

Adam took a deep breath. "Okay. But if it doesn't work, he and I are gonna play a little game called Truth or Wedgie." He said, making the girls roll their eyes. After Adam threw a few balls, it turned out that Alistair didn't have what looked like bionic reflexes.

Poor guy had much bruises from the balls that Adam threw that the boy went to see if Alistair had super strength, only accidentally showing the boy that he could lift up the weight rack.

"What is that noise?" Emilia wondered, hearing something from the hallway, making the three of them rush in to see Perry being thrown by the robot version of herself.

"Principal Perry, you have to help me!" Alistair came running in from outside. "Adam and-" He screamed, standing in front of Robot Perry, who then threw him to the other side of the hall.

Adam chuckled. "Oh! Now, she knows how to lift." The three looked over at Alistair who looked up at the ceiling saying sleepily. "I see stars and yellow moons and green clovers."

"Well, that settles that." Emilia sighed, along with Bree who chimed in. "He's definitely not bionic."

Adam nodded. "Yep. But Leprechaun is still on the table."

Chase turned to Donald in panic. "Mr Davenport, how are we gonna stop Robo Perry?" He asked, in which Donald sighed. "We don't have a choice. You're gonna have to use your bionics."

"You want us to expose ourselves in front of the school board?" Chase questioned.

"No, he wants us to use our bionics in front of the school board." Adam said before chuckling to himself. "This guy."

"No. Look, we have to do something! Robo Perry is gonna destroy the entire school!" Donald rushed them as Emilia moved aside, letting the three bionic siblings stop Robo Perry. However, before they could even use them, Perry came charging towards her robot version and tackled it to the ground, ripping the head of the prototype.

"There can be only one!" She called out, holding up the head. Leo leaned closer to Emilia and Chase as he whispered. "Still one too many." The two laughed, fist bumping Leo.
