Authors Note: Okay I'm back at it again with another Lab Rats story. This will hopefully be a multi-chapter one and one that I'm hoping that I'll finish.
It started with a question: "What happened if Donald didn't get the full trio?" and boom the idea for this story was born! This will have humour since this is Lab Rats we are talking about but it will be a T due to some fight scenes and all that. I don't want to bore you all with a lenghty's authors note because I'm hoping that you're already pretty interested in the story and I got some support.
As always reviews are encouraged!
"You know this will never work right?" Marcus looked over to Chase who had been eyeing Adam, Bree and Leo for quite some time. Chase just responded to his brother with a death glare and continued to look closely.
"Is that big bionic brain of yours done analysing?" The sarcastic questions didn't seem to stop and it was enough for Chase to roll his eyes and actually start talking. "You know we have exactly the same powers. So why aren't you formulating a plan? Oh that's right it's because I'm the leader." The slightly younger bionic boasted.
Now this was enough for Marcus to roll his eyes. The only reason why Chase was mission leader was because he wasn't strong enough to get his hands dirty. "You know what, perfectionist? It's not even worth having this conversation with you." The elder bionic threw his hands in the air as mock surrender.
Feeling satisfied that he had seemingly won the argument, Chase went back to stalking and staring intently at the trio in front of them. It was surprisingly shocking that the other three hadn't caught on that two males that they never met in their lives were staring at them but then again not so surprising.
It probably would be a challenge if Adam's head wasn't so empty; if Bree wasn't staring at her phone and if Leo wasn't obsessively gazing at some cheerleader he had zero chance with. Chase scoffed at the realisation at all this and gave Marcus a small smirk.
"Alright we've been through the plan for months now and have been training for this for as long as we've been alive. Don't mess this up for me Marcus." Chase warned his brother. This was more to do with impressing their dad more than anything.
"Oh you don't have to worry about me messing up, brother, worry about yourself." The blunt reply from the bionic human was enough again for Chase to roll his eyes and just start walking over to the three, with Marcus in tail behind him. "You can fake a smile right? I mean you have practice from all those years of kissing up dad."
Chase and Marcus never missed an opportunity to torment, tease and in some case fight physically if it meant that the other would get agitated and irritated. It didn't help that the physical fights were often encouraged by their father, Douglas. He called it training or sparring. Chase called it wiping the floor with him. Marcus called it his dad watching his favourite kicking his second son's butt.
But Marcus didn't even respond to that comment about the smile because on some days Chase wasn't even worth it. But Douglas was. And if he managed to out shine Chase once and be the bigger man it would mean that 15 years worth of insults would be down the drain.
Plus Chase would be a heartbroken. Chase in pain was always a plus point.
"Hey are you guys Adam, Bree and Leo?" Chase asked the three students, once again interrupting Marcus from his thoughts. His thoughts were the only place, apart from sleeping, where he didn't have to hear Chase's voice. It was his own personal happy place.
"Who's asking? If it's one of our brilliant and amazing neighbours then please tell them to send the bill of whatever me and Adam may, possibly, perhaps have broken to Donald Davenport and I assure you that you'll get the best compensation possible." Leo stated in a simple voice which sounded robotic and like one of those weird marketing adverts that you would see on TV.
Adam stared at Leo and smiled even though he had no idea what Leo said or meant. Bree facepalmed herself and muttered oh god Leo which only Marcus and Chase could have heard due to enhanced hearing and Marcus just turned around and grabbed the bridge of his nose and sighed, shaking his head as he looked down.
The plan. The plan. The plan. The slightly spiky haired bionic repeated to himself. 15 years and it all leads to this. Don't mess this up. Either of you. The voice of his father repeated in his brain, making Chase dread the consequences of not smiling along. "No we're not your neighbours. We're actually the new kids. Marcus and Chase Henderson. Principal Perry said you three would show us around."
"Hold up. Why would three of us need to show the two of you around? Wouldn't one of us work? And why didn't Perry tell us this before?" Leo questioned the brunette males. It could be a case of that Terry being as terrible as she was as an educator, she forgot or just told them last minute but something just wasn't settling right within him.
Marcus raised an eyebrow at how quickly at his step-cousin caught on. Their dad warned them that only their uncle and probably Bree would be a challenge. Not their relatively new step-cousin. Had to keep that in mind.
For the first time, Bree spoke up. "Because if you two show them around, Adam would just drop at the mention of candyfloss and you would just drop at a cheerleader walking past. And Perry probably made us the welcoming committee and not tell us because she hates us as you remember." She glared at Leo, with the you being directly at Leo. In response, Leo just chuckled nervously and held his arm out. "Welcome to Mission Creek High newbies."
"Wait where is the candyfloss?" Now Adam spoke up, looking happy and excited at Bree. Like a puppy would expecting a bone. Chase smirked slightly at seeing the response. That's all Adam was. An empty shell of lasers and super strength.
"There is no candyfloss, just an example of what would happen." Bree explained, growing slightly annoyed at her brother's antics.
"Then don't lie about it! Now I want candyfloss." At this point Adam just sulked and walked behind Bree and Leo.
Bree sighed at Adam, grunting slightly before remembering that there were two other people not used to her unique family. "Ignore them, that's what I do. Anyways, I'm Bree Davenport; Captain Loudmouth is Leo Dooley-Davenport i.e. mine and Adam's step-brother and Captain Fairyland is Adam Davenport, our older brother." Bree formally introduced.
Even though there was no need for the introductions since both Marcus and Chase had heard the names and knew the personalities like it was in the back of their head. Seriously, the information was all over their heads even in the back.
"Nice to meet you guys! I'm Chase and this is my twin brother Marcus. We just moved here last week and we're still getting used to everything." Chase introduced for the both of them.
But Leo seemed to have ignored Chase, not surprising because Chase had the charisma and social skills of a rock. "Doesn't he talk?" Leo pointed to Marcus. Marcus raised another eyebrow. Okay the kid was seriously going to land on his hit list pretty soon.
"I do, it's just that my brother Chase likes to talk all the time, helps strokes his ego and all." Now it was Marcus' turn to smirk who caught the two second scowl that his brother gave him. And in response, Marcus just patted Chase's back, forcing a smile.
Bree scoffed and smiled. "I can relate. Our dad talks about himself all the time. And everything we own has to have a Daven something attached in front of it. Davenkitchen, Davnroom, Davenhouse, Davenplane, Davencopter." Realising that Bree was probably boring the new kids, she stopped. "You get the picture."
Chase and Marcus nodded. They had read, seen and heard everything about Donald Davenport. News clippings, stories from their dad etc. Now Donald seemed like a nice guy with major ego issues, but Chase and Marcus knew enough from Douglas that he wasn't. Kicked his own brother out of the company that they founded together and ruined him.
"If you're twins why do you look different?" Adam spoke up, seemingly happy and over Bree and her fake candyfloss.
Thankfully Chase had a relatively easy and simple line. "We're fraternal twins. Meaning we don't look alike." Bree and Leo made an oh sound whereas Adam looked confused. Sensing his brother's confusion, Leo turned around. "They're magical elves!" He waved his hands in dramatic effect. The answer was ridiculous but it seemed to have satisfied the male and he started laughing and smiling at the both of them.
"Oh so this explains why Chase is short!" Adam smiled and pointed. And for the first time today, Marcus cracked a genuine smile that just wasn't in his dreams or head. Leo and Bree seemed pretty amused by the joke. Only Chase rolled his eyes and growled lowly at Adam. Oh he could definitely be my favourite. Marcus mused.
But before Chase could try and defend himself, the final bell rang signalling that the school day was over. Leo screamed in happiness and ran for the doors. "Yes school is out which means Leo Dooley is out too! Out of this building I mean!" He laughed as he ran wildly outside leaving only the four of them in shock.
He soon however came back with a more serious look on his face. "Also Big D is waiting for us in the parking lot to pick us up so hurry." And with that he was out screaming again. Rolling her eyes, Bree turned back to the boys.
"Yeah I would say sorry you had to see that but you better get used to it because you'll be seeing a lot of that. But do you guys need a ride home, Mr Daven- I mean our dad has a pretty fast car and wouldn't mind having two new guests who aren't used to him. So he can tell you how great he is." Bree forced that last part through gritted teeth. She did turn around to see Adam but all she heard was his screams mocking Leo's as he chased after him.
Marcus shook his head. "No thanks me and Chase like taking the bus. It helps keep our fitness up and all." Bree just shrugged at the answer and nodded. "Well if you're happy to take public transport then cool. See you guys around." And with Bree finally leaving out the door, it just left Chase and Marcus to trail after Bree.
After five minutes they finally made it to the bus stop, only for Marcus to stop Chase. "You know instead of super speeding straight home, why don't you and me have a little chat? While we just race and run around a few places?" He smirked, knowing that Chase would automatically make it a competition and try to win.
"Sure if it means beating you." Chase responded exactly the way that Marcus wanted him too. Hook, line and sinker. "Oh you're on." And with that the two boys just left behind a big gust of wind and a white and blue blur.
Authors Note: And holy guacamole that is Chapter one aka the Epilogue done! And sorry if you felt that Marcus and Adam didn't talk that much, they definitely will in the next since it focuses more on Donald + family and the little "chat" between Chase and Marcus. Oh and Douglas will be coming in pretty soon.
