Comfortable silence drifted between the three that were seated by the kitchen island. Donald Davenport sat at his seat at the dining table, quietly sipping coffee from his mug as his eyes glided over the tablet in his other hand. The two bionic brothers were sitting by the counter, enjoying their breakfast and the morning stillness. But suddenly, it all came to an abrupt stop. The once serene, peaceful environment was disrupted by a strong breeze.

The papers near the couch went flying as the breeze passed, just as a bit of coffee made its way onto Mr. Davenport's new shirt, the table and a tad bit on his tablet. The breeze quickly stopped by Adam's side, causing the eldest boy to stumble into his younger brother, sitting behind him. The cereal spoon dropped to the floor with a deafening high pitch just as Adam's elbow made contact with Chase's back. Chase spit out his orange juice, and coughed.

"Morning" Bree said happily, looking around at her father and brothers. After catching sight of her father's distraught look, and Chase's confused shock, did the heat then appeared on her face. "Guess I still need to work on my speed a little, huh?"

"You think?" Adam and Chase said in unison. Bree looked around the place and offered to clear it up right then and there, using her super speed in the process. Her offer was bombarded by everything, but a yes. Adam took Chase's bowl to the sink as Bree rummaged in the cabinets for a suitable breakfast. She soon decided to just go with a bowl 'Sweet Oats'. She made the breakfast at a normal human pace and came to sit by her father's side, while her brothers choose to lounge elsewhere.

"I'm really sorry dad..." Bree apologized, watching her dad wipe at the remaining coffee on his gray shirt. He looked up to catch her eyes, and just shrugged the incident off.

"Its fine Bree"

Bree showed off a smile, and ate her breakfast as her dad returned to reading whatever he was on the tablet before. Once again the room fell into a comfortable silence, with the muffled sounds of cartoons in the air. After taking another bite of cereal, Bree looked up towards her dad. He was deeply engaged in his reading, nearly toppling over the mug if it weren't for her hand that pushed it towards his blindly grasping hand. She waited until he had sipped from his mug that she spoke up.

"Hey, dad"

He nodded in reply, acknowledging her.

"Its tomorrow"

At her words, Donald looked up, puzzlement written on his face. He opened his mouth to question but Bree continued on.

"Uncle Douglas is coming home"

Donald's eyes widened at the news. He had know about his brother's home coming beforehand, but he was shocked that he had forgotten so easily. All he could do was take in the news, just like the first time he heard.

"Oh"

"I know right" Bree answered happily. With that she got up and headed to the sink, placing her bowl there. The water running from the faucet lingered repeatedly in his ears as he drank a bit of warm coffee. The sound put his mind into a trace, rewinding back to a certain memory.

-Flash Back-
-2 Months Ago-

"Chase!"

Donald and Douglas let out a breath of relief as Chase returned to the ground. Bree and Adam enveloped their brother in a happy hug, and the atmosphere couldn't be better. That is, when Donald's eyes widened at the stranger sitting on the couch.

Donald quickly made his way over to her, hearing his little brother's trailing steps. Donald's voice came out much more harsh then it was supposed to.

"Who are you?"

She stared at him, eyes locked. Douglas immediately stepped in the way, protecting Donald's fuming anger from her, and a sudden release of hot anger from the stranger to Donald.

"I can explain" Douglas said, looking at Donald.
"I can explain, everything" Douglas repeated, now looking at the woman.

"I know" she said, eyes still staring down Donald.

"What? How?" Donald and Douglas said in unison. A short laugh was heard from her, as she looked from brother to brother.

"I was Bree's guardian. She told me everything when she visited her brother at the hospital"

Donald and Douglas' eyes then went over to Bree, just released from the group hug.

"I had to tell her, she's my mom" Bree replied softly, her eyes looking for comfort among the adults. Donald turned back to the woman, speaking up once again.

"So you know"

She nodded, and stood up with her bag swung over her shoulder. Donald watched as she silently made her way to the front door, open it, and leave without saying a word. It was when the front door click close that Adam's sudden hunger statement was heard in the silence house. His siblings added words of agreement and Douglas quieted the brewing riot down by suggesting pizza.

Everyone agreed, and the kids sat by the couch as Douglas made his way to the phone. Shaking out of his shock, Donald followed his brother, speaking to him as he dialed.

"Who was that?"
"Who?"
"You know who"
"Oh, her"
"Yeah, who else?"

"That was Tasha" Douglas answered. Douglas then turned away and began to order.

The five ate like any normal family, the TV just a sound in the background to push away the silence. Conversation barely made way between the two brothers, but was all but lessening between the three bionic siblings. After that, it was then that the family sat down, and planned for Douglas to stay here. Home in the mansion, where he belonged.

Donald should have known better.

A week passed by before that night.

It was after dinner, after all the training and fooling around. Donald had thought that Douglas' sudden quiet spell was only because he was tired. And so, Donald rushed everyone to their bedrooms, including his brother and then went to sleep himself.

In the middle of the night, Donald awoke to a soft moaning. His ears led him to his younger brother's closed bedroom door. Opening, Donald stepped in to see Douglas, sitting on the floor, near the bathroom door left ajar. He was clutching his stomach, that even in the dark of night, could be seen to be bleeding.

"Douglas..." Donald breathed, when he lowered himself to meet his brother's eyes. Douglas barely responded, moaning in pain for the second time. The wheels in his brain, stared to work the longer Donald stared at his brother.

"Do you think you can get up?"

His brother replied with something between words and groans, as Donald put his arm under Douglas to get him to his feet. The moment that Donald stood up, Douglas let out a loud shout of agony, stumbling forward. Donald quickly moved towards the chair on the side, where he lowered his brother there. Donald looked around in the dark room, searching. Finally his eyes landed on the elevator pad on the wall.

They took the elevator down to the living room and Donald pushed his brother to the car parked in the drive way. Soon enough they were on their way to the hospital.

"Mr. Davenport"

Donald looked up at the sound of his name.

"Is it time to train yet?"

Donald's eyes turned to the tablet in his hand, catching the time on it.

"We'll train longer in the afternoon to make up for the morning" Donald said. As Donald turned back to the tablet, he heard Adam's voice begin to speak, but was quickly quietened.

They nodded and left. Letting out a sigh, Donald stared at his tablet, forcing his eyes to read. But his attempts all failed, the only thing on his mind his brother.
