Cassie's POV
Mr. D and Tasha were sitting in the front seat of the car while me, and Leo were squished in the back with our entire luggage. I leaned over and whispered to Leo "are you excited?"
Leo plastered on a fake smile "Yeah. No, why are you?"
I leaned back in my seat "because now it won't be just me and you, I love you Leo but, you get annoying sometimes" Leo faked glared at me and I laughed. We pulled up to a huge house and I let a little 'whoa' escape my mouth. Now just so you know I'm not Leo's sister, or his girlfriend. Ewe. No. My mom, Rachel, and Tasha were really close friends. So when my mom died a few years back Tasha took me in. Seeing that I had no other family. It was sweet and Leo and I have known each other since birth so he was already like a brother to me. So it wasn't hard to adjust. Anyways, Leo and I were carrying our bags and walked up to the house and over heard Tasha and Mr. D's conversation.
"Welcome home Mrs. Davenport" he said while carrying Tasha inside Bridal style.
"Why thank you Mr. Davenport" Tasha replied.
"We get it you got married" Leo said as we approached the door.
"It's getting old!" I exclaimed as Leo and I threw our bags on the floor. Leo and I looked around.
"Whoa" Leo repeated what I said earlier "you got this big house just from building things."
"Mmhmm" Mr. D said with pride.
"Way to go mom" Leo said "Now that's a husband" and I couldn't help but agree
"Now I see why you agreed to marry him" I said in a sarcastic 'duh' voice. Leo laughed.
"Pound it" he said raising his fist, I met him halfway and we both made a 'bwoosh' sound when we fist bumped. They both just looked at us. I shrugged. Tasha rolled her eyes then kissed Mr. D. That's when I noticed the cool device in the middle of the living room. I nudged Leos shoulder with mine and nodded my head towards it. His eye popped out of his head "What is that" he said walking towards it.
"Oh, uh. That" Mr. D said, putting out his hand to stop Leo "is my latest creation. Davenport Industries very first, completely interactive 3-D TV." He turned it on and a baseball game came on. A player hit the ball and Leo backed up to try and catch it but just rammed into the wall
"Watch the vase termite" a voice said and my head snapped to the side to see a small screen that had an E on it that had eyes and clothes and everything.
"Mom, I think the little voice inside my head is back." Leo said with the most serious face ever and I had to bite my lip to not laugh.
"No, that's Eddy" Mr. D said walking over to Eddy. "He's my smart home system. Eddy, this is my new stepson, Leo. Remember, I told you Leo, Cassandra, and Tasha are moving in today?"
"Hey, welcome. Everything here is mine." Eddy said
I laughed "I like you" I said pointing at him.
"Okay, she can use my stuff. But not you" He said looking at Leo.
"Uh, Leo, Cassandra" Mr. D said changing the subject. I cringed at my name; I hate it that's why I always go by Cassie.
"Cassie" I interrupted Mr. D.
He nodded "Yeah, Cassie, why don't you two go check out your bedrooms? Cassie yours is up the stairs over here it's the first door on the right" I nodded and grabbed my bag and headed upstairs but not before I heard what Mr. D said "And Leo you just go straight down that hallway, and when you see the room with the video games and the action figures and the 50-foot-screen TV, keep walking, that's mine."
I was in my room unpacking for no more than ten minutes when I heard Leo call my name. I sighed and walked downstairs to where Leo was. Which wasn't that hard because he was still screaming my name. I swear that boy will be the death of me. When I walked up to Leo his eyes were closed and he was still yelling my name "Cassie! Cassie! Cassie! Cassie!"
I walked right in front of him and yelled "Leeeeeeeeeeeoooooooo!"
He opened his eyes and yelled back "whaaaaaaaat!"
"Why are we screaming!" and yes I yelled that. He paused for a moment then shrugged. I rolled my eyes "What do you want?"
"Look!" He turned me around and there was a very large metal door.
"Whoa" I just stood there looking at the strange door, that's when it open. I started to walk in but Leo grabbed my shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Leo asked me.
"I'm baking a pie, what does it look like I'm doing, now are you coming or not" I continued to walk in and Leo hesitantly followed me.
"Hello?" Leo said as he walked in then the doors closed and the ground fell. It took all my will power not to scream, while Leo screamed the whole drop. When it stopped the doors immediately opened with a 'ding'. I walked out into the… the… it kind of looked like an underground lab. I turned back when I noticed Leo wasn't with me. He poked his head out the scurried over to me. "Whoa!"
I kept looking around "I know"
"Cassie, my new dads batman" Leo exclaimed. There was a door a couple of feet away from us that opened. I grabbed Leos arm and pulled him behind a wall of yellow barrels. A boy ran through the open doors and quickly shut it.
"Good luck getting in! That steel door is thicker than your head!" He yelled at the door, which I assumed had another person behind it, either that or he's crazy. Then there was a loud banging on the door. I cringed and Leo took a few steps back. Then the door completely broke off revealing another boy who was slightly taller than the other one "Well there's another way to get in" the first boy quipped sarcastically.
"Give me back my Epod!" the second boy demanded as he lifted the first boy up by the back of his shirt. If I didn't already say my eyes were literally about to pop out of their sockets.
"I don't have it!" The first boy insisted trying to squirm out of the second boys grasp as a girl came walking in with what I assumed was the alleged Epod I her hand. The second boy noticed this too.
"Hey. You took my Epod!" He said dropping the first boy on his ass.
The girl pulled out her headphones "Taylor Swift mega-mix? Really?" I let out a small laugh despite everything.
"I find her soothing." The second boy said still a little ticked off. The girl just rolled her eyes and went to go walk away. But then the second boy shot… lasers out of his eyes? What?
She turned around slowly to look at the second boy "Oh, I know you didn't shoot that laser at me."
"Oh, sorry. It was a terrible mistake, just like your face" The second boy retorted and once again I cracked a small laugh despite the situation. But it was soon cut short when the girl ran at him so fast she was a blur and knocked him into the wall of yellow barrels revealing me and Leo. All three of them screamed, I raised an eyebrow at them if anything Leo and I should be screaming. And that's exactly what Leo did and he literally blew out my eardrum. And to make things worse they screamed right back. I couldn't contain my laughter anymore when Leo let out a high pitched girly scream and ran. The three of them looked at me weird.
"Oh, don't look at me like that. You're the ones you screamed at a short scrawny boy" I quipped then ran after Leo. When I caught up to him he was backed up against the pole. I walked slightly towards him.
"Okay I don't play this card too often, but mom!" Leo yelled and I turned around to see the three super humans or whatever they were in front of us. I looked over their shoulders to see Mr. D and Tasha walking in. Leo instantly ran into her arms. I snapped a quick photo for blackmail purposes. Don't judge. That's how mine and Leo's relationship works. And once again all three of them looked at me weird. I shoved my phone into my pocket and rubbed the back of my neck as I awkwardly walked passed them and next to Leo and Tasha.
"Leo! Leo! There you are! Oh! What is this place? Who are they?" Tasha asked Mr. D as Leo pulled away.
"Uh they, uh, are a boy band I've been working with, um, and the twist is, one of 'em's a girl." I could tell her was lying and so could Tasha and Leo. We all just gave him a 'really' look and he caved. Mental high five the three ways stare always works. "All right, they're part of a secret project I've been developing genetically superhuman sibling-"
"Hold up" I cut him off "Genetically super humans" I paused and stared at them in awe "No way"
"Yes way" Mr. D said a little bit more confident "Tasha, Cassie, Leo, meet Adam, Bree, and Chase the greatest combination of biology and technology ever developed. I don't want to brag but, I and incredibly smart" Tasha turned to me and Leo and gave us a 'WTF" face while pointing at Mr. D
"Don't look at me" Leo said quickly to defend himself "I told you to stay away from internet dating"
Tasha turned back to Mr. D "So they're robots
"Whoa! Hey! Oh no she didn't!" Adam, Bree, and Chase all exclaimed.
"No Tasha there human" Mr. D said shaking his head.
I took a step closer and looked at each of them then looked at Mr. D "I don't know about you but, I find this super awesome" and yes I may have squealed the last part. "So if there human how do they have all those cool abilities"
"I've just given them a unique set of bionic abilities controlled by a microchip implant in their necks" Mr. D clarified and yes I understood every word that came out of his mouth. The advantages of being a science geek. "It's a lot more complicated than it sounds" Mr. D continued as I just nodded along. He looked at me "are you getting any of this?"
I looked at him like he was insane "of course. I'm not an idiot. Who do you think I am Leo?" I quipped nodding towards Leo, who just glared at me "You can't fight Facts Leo" I threw out before I turned to Mr. D "Continue."
Mr. D nodded and described each of their abilities pointing to them as he said so "See, Adam is all brute strength, and Bree has speed and agility, and Chase has super-senses and superior intelligence."
My eyes widened by just a fraction "Yeah, I saw the whole knocking down a steel door and turning to a blur as you charged at him congratulations" I slowly walked over to Chase until I was right in front of him "But Superior Intelligence now that is truly fascinating" Chase gave me a smug smile and Bree and Adam just gave me confused looks. I didn't give anyone anytime to say anything "Quick pop quiz. 531 times 982?"
"521, 442" he answered without hesitation.
"Who discovered the atom?"
"J. J. Thomson."
"When was the first phone call made?"
"March 10, 1876"
"By who?"
"Alexander Graham Bell"
"To who?"
"Thomas Watson"
I held his gaze for a second "Outstanding"
"Wait a second how did you know all that?" Bree asked from beside Chase.
I looked at her "You don't get to be top of your class for five years by sitting there and looking pretty" I quipped turning sharply and walking over to Leo.
"Hey, Chase, I think you've finally met your match" Bree told him elbowing his side. I smirked and raised an eyebrow yet me and Chase never broke eye contact. Now that I really looked at him, he was quite good looking and his eyes were gorgeous.
"Hello!" Tasha said breaking the moment. I cleared my throat and looked at her as she continued to talk. "Donald. Hi. There are children living in our basement!" She exclaimed pulling Mr. D over to the side "Cassie may be weirdly fascinated by this stuff but, it's not okay with me"
"This is a scientific habitat" Mr. D argued "I mean look at it, it has a game room and a rock wall Anything a kid could ask for. I've created this place so they can train in the utmost of comfort and technology."
"Duuuuuude. Leo this place is so cool" I said while hitting Leos shoulder and jumping. They shot me weird looks. I slowly stopped and backed away "Awkward" I muttered.
"It's true" Adam said "The toilets have seat-warmers that talk."
Leo looked up at him with a curious yet confused look "What do they say?"
Adam shrugged his shoulders "well it varies depending on-"
"No" Leo said raising his hand quickly cutting him off.
"Donald, I don't know what to make of all this" Tasha continued ignoring Adams comment "Some new wives get surprised with a honeymoon to Hawaii or a cruise. Bionic teenagers were not on our wedding registry."
Mr. D was standing in front of Tasha trying to explain "Honey, they have to stay down here for their own safety. But as soon as their training is complete, they'll be able to handle any crisis or problem that the world throws at them."
"I want to go to the pyramids." Chase said raising his hand slightly.
"I want to go to Paris" Bree said smiling.
"I want to go upstairs" Adam said with a serious face.
"Seriously of all the places. You could go to The Great Wall of China, Petra, Colosseum, Cichen Itza, Machu Picchu, or the Taj Mahal, or, or, or, Christ the Redeemer in Brazil!" Yes I named the Seven Wonders of the World. Sue me. Adam gave me a very confused look, and Chase just stared, I couldn't quite read his expression, and Bree had her arms crossed and was shaking her head "What?"
Bree continued to shake her head "It's so freaky, you're like a female Chase"
"Hey, what are those" Leo said and everyone's stares changed to Leo, except I noticed Chases held a little longer. Hmm? "Time Machines?"
Mr. D just shook his head laughing "No, they're not Time Machines. The Time Machines are actually in the shop. These are my biologically regulated atmospheric chambers where my Bionic creations live and sleep and eat."
Leo looked at me questioningly so I dumbed it down "It's basically a survival tube" I explained and Leo made and 'o' shape with his mouth.
"Exactly" Mr. D continued "Which reminds me, its dinner time"
"Yeah!" They all exclaimed and got into the capsules.
I ran up to Mr. D "No way I'm missing this" They all slipped on goggles once their doors were sealed
"Ready?" Mr. D asked. They all gave him thumbs up, then Mr. D pushed some buttons and small spheres fell in the capsules around Adam, Bree, and Chase,
I watched them eat it "What are they eating?"
"These are my patented protein pellets. Whatever they dot catch is tomorrow's breakfast" I laughed and continued watching.
