It simply wasn't fair. She had waited 17 years of her life for this moment. It was a moment she had grown up believing would never happen. After all, she was nothing more than a living experiment. She had been trained to be a human machine. She wasn't meant to experience the same things as normal humans.
Yet, here she was, falling in love. It was like a dream come true at long last and yet it was also a nightmare. Why did irony have to be so cruel? She hadn't started falling in love with just anyone. She was falling in love with Adam.
It just didn't make any sense. Davenport had finally given them their freedom. She had her pick of any guy who she hadn't also grown up with, but no. It had all somehow only made it more obvious to her that she wanted to be with the guy who was about as dumb as he was strong. The guy who had always been there.
But that was the problem! He and Chase were her brothers. Davenport took charge of them at nearly the same time. They had even taken to referring to themselves as siblings, at home and also now at school. She might have only been in society for a little over a year, but she wasn't clueless. She knew it wasn't acceptable for a girl to fall in love with her brother. Everyone knew that.
Of course, he wasn't her brother. Not really. And even though she told herself that the lack of an actual blood bond between them shouldn't matter, she couldn't shake her feelings. She couldn't help but notice all the little things that told her just how unrelated they really were - their ethnicities for one. He was her brother by name, but what she felt for Adam was different than what she felt for Chase and Leo.
But it was still wrong, she chastised herself constantly, and so she was stuck between a rock and a hard place. She couldn't seem to make the feelings go away, but she couldn't act on them either. Her first love was also her first heartbreak and she didn't even have a chance to experience the happiness that usually existed in between the two.
It just wasn't fair! Why couldn't she have been normal? Why couldn't have Davenport found some other girl to experiment on? Why did she have to go and fall in love with her adoptive brother? Why couldn't she fall for someone else? Why did they have to pretend like they were siblings in the first place? Why couldn't she live the teenage dream like everyone else? The lines of her existence were nothing more than a blur. And, honestly, she was tired of the dizzy feeling that came with it.
What good was super speed if she couldn't see where she was going?
The End
A.N. Yes, it's just a short vignette, but I wanted it to be angsty and to the point. I might do more with this pairing now that I've gotten a taste for it. I was hesitant at first because even though I'm assuming that they aren't blood related (and merely all 3 "adopted" by Davenport for the purpose of the experiment), even the idea of pairing adopted siblings seems kind of squicky to me. But I couldn't help myself because I think Adam and Bree are adorable together (others probably prefer Bree/Chase based on Billy Unger's popularity). Also, I've always had a soft spot for giving the dumb guys someone who isn't also dumber than a post/who they seemingly don't deserve. Reviews are appreciated and flames simply serve to amuse me.
