Chapter 1: Prologue
Disclaimer: I don't own Lab Rats just this plot and the OC characters.
My older siblings and I were watching TV in our living room with our best friend Leo. My name is Zoe Davison and I'm 10 years old. I have a big sister who is 12 years old and I have a twin brother who is a minute older than I am. My big sister's name is Jane and my twin brother's name is Brady. We live with our parents in a small house that had four bedrooms and three small bathrooms. Our living room is cramped and had only one large family couch for all of us to sit on and a small TV that was playing Tom and Jerry now. Leo is our only friend in the neighborhood since people don't really like us that much. I think it's because we're poor. Leo and his mom are the only people who are actually nice to us. Suddenly, I had to go pee so I got up, went to the bathroom, and did what I had to do, and then I saw my parents talk to Tasha in their bedroom in hushed tones. Luckily, for me though, I'm great eavesdropping, so I pressed my ear up against the door and listened.
"…Tasha, you and Leo are the nicest people we know, we know that only you can do this for us," My dad was talking to Tasha with my mom sitting next to her on the bed with a grave expression. What are they talking about? I thought nervously.
"What do you mean, Robert?" Tasha asked confused. My mother looked at Tasha with tears in her eyes.
"We want you to have full custody over our children in case something ever happens to us," Dad explained and Tasha's eyes widened.
"Robert, I couldn't-" Tasha protested, but my mother beat her.
"Please Tasha, you know that we're not financially stable and that we've got the most dangerous job of all," Mom replied briskly. The most dangerous job of all? What's that? I thought curiously.
"What do you mean?" Tasha asked nervously and my parents looked at each other before nodding.
"We're secret agents," Dad answered hesitantly. Tasha gasped in horror.
"That's why you always leave the children on their own? Why you leave them with me and Leo?" Tasha demanded nervously and my parents nodded. Oh, that job. What's so bad about it? That's like the coolest job ever! I pondered.
"It's even more dangerous now because I'm pregnant," Mom whisper shouted and she broke down in tears. Dad and Tasha tried to comfort her and they were able to calm her down, but tears still streamed down her cheek. We all already knew about the new baby, the baby is only a month old.
"I promise that'll take care of them when the time comes," Tasha reassured our parents and they let out a sigh of relief.
"There's also something you don't know about them though," Dad replied uncertainly as he stared down at his white socks.
"What's that?" Tasha asked confusedly.
"Our children have super powers," Mom answered with a weak smile. Tasha gasped in amazement.
"Jane has super strength, telepathy, x-ray vision, can fly and invisibility. Brady has super speed, telepathy, can fly, shape shifting, super strength and illusion. Lastly, Zoe has super strength, telepathy, can fly, can control all of the elements of Earth, transform/communicate with animals, can shoot star bolts and has an alter ego," Mom explained to Tasha proudly.
"What do you mean by 'alter ego'?"Tasha asked confused. I'm puzzled about that too.
"It means she has a split personality, but in Zoe's case we've got a little problem. Instead of having one alter ego, she has a couple of them because she has bipolar problems. It's going to be even harder for her because of her problem and her powers are triggered by her emotions most of the time," Dad explained nervously. I do NOT have bipolar issues! I thought angrily.
"Well, I can probably help her with any of her problems if they arise, so I think we're good," Tasha responded casually. I ran back to the living room and continued to watch Tom and Jerry with Leo, Brady and Jane for the rest of the night.
A Few Years Later...
It's been five years since I overheard my parents talk to Tasha about the will and I now have a new 5-year-old sister, Angie. We're currently at Camp Never Land waiting in the Mess Hall (which is just another word for cafeteria), waiting for our parents to arrive and pick us up, but Camp Never Land is actually a secret training facility for kids to become spies. We've been here, since Angie was able to talk like a normal person. Me and siblings were sitting at a log picnic table waiting, when Jake the world's biggest jerk to ever enter the world of secret agents walks up to the table with a backpack over his shoulder.
"Hey, losers," Jake greeted in an obnoxious voice. Ugh, I loathe him so much!
"What do you want, Jake?" Brady asked irritated at this kid's presence.
"Just wanted to say so long. I'm just glad I won't have to see you emotionally challenged dorks," Jake said with a snicker. I growled. After Angie was born, we were diagnosed with Bipolar and somehow everyone found out about it.
"Keep talking, Jake and see if I won't smash your head into a random car," I threatened darkly as my voice deepened.
"Yeah, get lost, Jake," Brady added. Jake just rolled his eyes and walked away. I talked to my siblings for a couple of hours, but our parents still didn't come.
"Davidson's, we need to talk," Councilor Peter called us over to his office through a microphone. We walked towards his office in silence with our bags; we walked in and he motioned for us to sit down in the seats in front of his office desk. "Your parents won't be able to pick you up, kids," Peter announced gravely.
"What do you mean?" Jane asked nervously. Peter sighed and covered his face with his hands.
"Your parents went on another mission and this time they didn't come back," Peter answered slowly. I frowned.
"Are you saying they're MIA?" Brady asked him confusedly. Peter shook his head. NO!
"You mean mommy and daddy are dead?" Angie asked on the verge of tears. Peter nodded and Angie screamed in despair and she cried on Jane's shoulders.
"How did they die?" Brady demanded with tears in his eyes.
"They were trying to save a group of women and children who were under sexual slavery. Your parents managed to save them, but they couldn't save themselves, they were captured and tortured to death. They died today," Peter explained hoarsely. I was in shock, I just couldn't believe it, and I didn't want to believe it. I forced myself not to break down and cry.
"Where will we go?" Jane asked Peter with tears pouring down her face. Peter paused.
"I'm not sure," Peter, answered in sadly. A thought hit me in the head.
"But I do. I remember one time when our parents were talking to Leo's mom about a will," I began hoarsely and the room went quiet.
"Your parents made a will?" Peter said curiously and I nodded with a weak smile.
"I heard them say if anything happened to them, we are supposed to go live with Leo and his family," I finished proudly.
"But we haven't seen them in three years," Brady exclaimed sadly and I placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah, but I have their phone number," I exclaimed excitedly. Peter smiled.
"Then, give me their phone number and I'll call her right away," Peter said and I gave him her phone number. He dialed the numbers on the phone and we wanted in anxious silence for her to pick up.
"Hello?"
"Hello, this Peter Jones, Councilor of Camp Never Land. I'm here with four campers who would like to talk to you,"
"Um who are they?"
"They are Jane Davidson, Brady Davidson, Zoe Davidson and Angie Davidson,"
"Oh! Can I speak with them?"
"Yes, of course," Peter handed me the phone, since I was the only one not crying.
"Tasha, is that you?" I asked excitedly.
"Yes. How are you guys?"
"We're fine, but we need someone to pick us up and we kind of need a place to stay for the night," I explained and I heard her squeal on the other end of the phone.
"Of course you can come over. I'll be there in a few minutes," Tasha said and she hung up. I handed Peter the phone back and told them she'd be here in a few minutes. We grabbed our duffel bags and headed towards the entrance to the camp with Peter waiting with us. A black car pulled up onto the gravel road and stopped in front of us at the entrance. Out popped Tasha and she tackled all of us into a bear hug.
"Oh, it's been so long since I've seen you four," Tasha exclaimed with tears in her eyes. Once we got into the car, she told us all about her new husband, her new house and her new children. I'm surprised we missed so much, but we were all happy for her. Angie met Tasha and Leo before we went to Camp Never Land.
Leo's P.O.V.
Mom's talking on the phone; ugh, this is going to take awhile. Plus, it's dinner time too.
"Leo, it's the Davidson's!" Mom squealed and my eyes went huge.
"Who are they?" Chase, Bree, Adam and Mr. Davenport asked all at once.
"They're our closest friends from before we met you, Donald," Mom explained and Big D relaxed, but was still a bit confused.
"What did they say? Did they tell you where they've been?" I bombarded Mom with questions, but all she told me was that they're going to be coming over for dinner and for the night.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!" I shouted jumping for joy at the news. I haven't seen them in three years. They all gave me confused looks, which made me stop jumping.
"Hey, don't judge me. I haven't seen my best friends in three years," I exclaimed indignantly. Mom told me to prepare four bedrooms for them and then she went to go pick them up. Me and the others began working on the rooms. By the time we were done, Mom had just pulled into the driveway with my long lost friends.
Zoe's P.O.V.
Tasha pulled the car up to a huge mansion. Wow! It was huge! We walked up to the house and Tasha unlocked the door. I stayed in the back with Jane, Brad, Angie and Tasha in the lead. A flash of brown tackled my siblings in a huge bear hug, but he missed me, dang it.
"It's great to see you guys again," Leo exclaimed happily.
"Group hug!" Tasha exclaimed happily, she grabbed my arm and pulled us all into a big hug. I let out a sigh of relief, we're safe. After two minutes, I heard a loud awkward cough come from somewhere in the room and Tasha released her death grip on us. A 6-foot man stood in the middle of the room with an awkward smile and three other teenagers stood next to him.
"Tasha, who's this?" the man asked politely. Tasha quickly introduced us to her new husband and Leo introduced us to Adam, Bree and Chase.
"Jane this is Bree, Chase and Adam," Leo said excitedly and he practically shoved Jane into Adam's arms who gave her a goofy grin. Both of them were blushing bright red and they quickly separated from each other. Looks like someone has a crush. I thought with a sly grin.
"Brady, this is Bree," Leo introduced the two and he pushed Bree into Brady's muscled arms. They also blushed and after Bree said thanks, she hid behind Adam for the rest of the introduction.
"Zoe, this is Chase," Leo said and he tried to push me, but I stepped away from Leo and he fell face first.
"Nice try, Leo," I said sarcastically. I picked Angie and held her in my arms and she shook Chase's hand, then she pulled Chase closer to us and jumped out of my arms causing Chase to knock me on the ground with him on top of me. I groaned and I heard lots of laughter, but when I opened my eyes, I met a pair of hazel eyes looking at me and something on my lips. I looked at my lips to see Chase's lips on my lips, I tried to move away, but he's heavy. He pulled away and smirked, I growled.
"Get off of me or I'm going to break your cute face," I threatened and I shoved him off me. I quickly stood up and glared at Chase with a death glare, but he gave me a weak smile.
"S-So you think I have a cute face?" Chase asked nervously and I punched him in the face. Angry tears streamed down my face and I ran out of the room towards the hallway, I hid behind a corner and buried myself in tears.
"Why are you crying? Was Chase really a bad kisser?" an obnoxious voice asked me. I looked up at a figure on a white pad screen and it was smiling evilly at me, so I stood up and punched the tabloid so hard that it broke into a bunch of pieces. Next, my angry tears kept pouring down my slightly tanned skin and after awhile I fell asleep with tears stains on my face.
