Hi people of the internet, I'm not really sure how many of you are going to read this (in regards to both this story and this A/N) but I guess I'm writing and sharing and hopefully connecting with new people- so that's the main thing, right?
And if people read and like what I'm writing than that's a huge bonus :)
So umm...I don't own Lab Rats, this is just me writing 'cuz I love it, and I love the show so I decided why incorporate both loves- then share it!
So this is more of the intro to my story, which will be a bunch of one shots or short fics. I remember reading that Chase was the youngest bionic and going 'wow', 'cuz I'd never really thought about it before. Then I started looking at the show in a different light and this was born.
Sorry if anyone is too OOC, this is sorta short (about a page) because it's the intro, but the others will be longer.
Enjoy and thank you for reading :)
When Chase was younger, it was just Daddy, Bee-Bee and Adee. And he missed that, even if he'd never admit it.
Now it's just Mr Davenport, Bree and Adam. They all sound so formal, so detached, nothing like the family they once were- Okay, maybe Chase is exaggerating just a tad- but he misses the old days so much.
When Chase was small, Adam used to wake him up with a gentle shake and a singing,
"Wakey Wakey, Chasey Wasey!"
Now he's expected to wake up on his own, and if he's not up after an acceptable time there would be an alarm going off outside his tube with a smirking Adam banging on the glass. Or even just an empty lab, like everyone had forgotten about him.
When he was a little kid, Bree used to give Chase piggy backs around the lab at super-speed, she would laugh and spin him around and look adoringly at him like he was the most amazing creature she'd ever met….and she was proud of him.
He doesn't get that anymore, he's bigger than her- so no more rides around the lab- and besides, Bree's far more interested in other boys than she is her gawky, nerdy little brother. When she does pay him any attention it's to tell him to stop doing something or mocking the smarts she used to coo at,
"Wow, Chasey, aren't you just the smartest thing! Can you tell me the name of this place?" All smiles and laughs and pictures of landmarks that he'd been more than happy to memorise for her.
Sometimes it even feels like Bree isn't proud of him anymore, like she's more ashamed and even embarrassed of him. But that couldn't be right, could it?
Of course Mr Davenport changed too, no more reading story books or late night monster hunts to make sure that the lab was 100% clear of all traces of anything spooky. Now it's all about training, passing Chase the encyclopaedia instead of a "Where's Wally?" A strict routine that left no time for searching for those 'bumps in the night' and well…Sometimes Chase just feels like his dad doesn't think of him as the child he raised, but the bionic he created.
But then there are those days when he might fall asleep on the couch and his big brother would wrap a blanket around him, or, those times when he's working and his big sister would come and lean her head on his shoulder for a moment, or ruffle his hair as she passed. Even when Mr Davenport takes a moment away from building his next multi-million dollar creation to let his youngest slide into his seat and walk Chase through the next couple of steps. Just because he can see how much it makes the teenager's eyes light up.
There are the moments when Leo and Tasha, the new additions to the Davenport clan come into the equation. Like when Leo takes the blame, or helps Chase hide the blame, from when he makes a mistake because he knows that Mr Davenport is less likely to kill Leo. Or when Tasha makes him a cup of hot chocolate when he's doing his homework, even though he didn't ask, because she knows how much he likes them.
Those are the days Chase feels like his family is still a family, those moments when he's gently reminded that a family always loves each other, even if they don't always show it.
Timidly glides back over to computer (go chair with wheels!) 'did you like it?'
As in are you interested in reading more? Or are you staring at your screen going 'what on Earth did I just read?'
Did the OOCness make you want to run away screaming? (Even though since it's the intro I don't really know how anyone could be massively out of character. Unless I really suck that bad.
I guess, yeah, what I'm really trying to say is 'did you like it, should I keep going, etc. etc. etc?'
I'm sort of kinda nervous now...umm...
Review, only if you want to though-I don't want to force you or anything-please and tell me what you think so these lovely mixed feelings of anxiety and anticipation can stop churning around in the pit of my stomach.
Thanks for reading, I guess I might see ya (virtually through fine art of the written word) later!
Oh and this intro is set before Douglas, so Chase still assumes that Donald was the one who created them.
