Chase's Video Journals #9
I smiled, proud as I watched my half-sister graduate.
We all sat in Yale's large basketball facility, as we waited for Baylee Adalyn Davenport to get called up.
"Bradbury, Adeline."
She went up and accepted her diploma. However, we would have to wait much longer, as Baylee "Lee" would have to deliver a speech, as she was bionic, and an valedictorian.
Slowly, each student got called up and accepted his or her diploma. Then, we got down to the last recipient of the diplomas.
"Zeilder, Xander."
I saw a small smile appear on Mr. Davenport's face as Xander walked off the stage. Yale's president stepped out to end this portion of the graduation and begin the next.
"And with that final product of hard work, we bring up our valedictorian, Baylee, or Lee Adalyn Davenport. Now, you may recognize that name from the news. You see, this wonderful person has saved people, with other people of her kind. As in, the bionic superhuman kind. She also performed well in her studies and now has a degree in meteorological sciences and songwriting. May I bring to the stage, Baylee "Lee" Adalyn Davenport." The president clapped and moved away from the podium to allow Lee to deliver her speech.
This really stressed her out. She spent hours away from us, just perfecting it. Editing was something she was incredibly concerned about. But, I know she had just created the best speech anyone in here will have ever heard.
She cleared her throat. "Thank you, thank you. Now, out of all of the places I thought I would be after I left the bionic academy, this was a place I never thought of."
She looked around.
"But, I'm ecstatic to be up here, with intelligent people and impeccable educators to guide me through this insane thing called life."
A pause.
"College was one of the best things that ever happened to me. When I got in, I couldn't believe it.
"My whole life was spent on a farm in Alabama, the adopted child out of five other conceived children. Along with being the youngest and the fact that I was bionic and didn't know it at the time made life incredibly hard.
"They were the best adoptive family a girl could ask for. Well, until they found out that I was bionic. Then I ran to the bionic academy, where I met Adam, Bree, Chase and Leo (Dooley) Davenport. All siblings, of course.
"They were all amazing to me and helped me figure out my bionics. After all was said and done and we were to be placed into groups to defend the world in secret, I wanted to do something else. I wanted to be normal again since I had learned to use and control my bionics correctly.
"I applied to Yale, and got in through some contest. I was lucky, as I had no money. But, just several weeks into my final year here, the government discovered us bionic superhumans and figured that we were threats.
"I went back to help Chase, and learned that he was my older half-brother. Our mother both lost us to the same guy. He took us away from her, just days, or even hours, after we were born to implant us with bionics.
"Now that I have this wonderful family to support me and a family that I can and will gladly support, I can live at peace.
"Thank you all for the support during my studies here and my friends that accepted me back, even though I was different. Thank you to the family I didn't know I had and thank you to my older brother, Chase Davenport, for, well, everything."
Lee smiled as she stepped away from the podium and the president walked back over to present her with her diplomas.
"Baylee Adalyn Davenport, you have rightfully earned your degree in songwriting, and you degree in meteorological sciences. In fact, we are so proud of your accomplishments, we have decided that, you have put in enough work and time to award these to you in the form of doctorate degrees."
The crowd erupted in clapping and cheers. Lee beamed and took the diplomas. Then, everyone went outside to watch the graduates throw their caps into the air and find their families.
After the graduates had located their caps, we managed to find Lee. I gave her a hug.
"I'm so proud of you." I said, pulling away from my sister.
"We're all proud of you, Lee." Mr. Davenport said.
"Yeah." Bree said. "You're like the sister I never had."
"Bree, you have a sister." Leo said.
"Yeah I know." She said. "But I can' do much with Naomi yet."
We all walked to the car and Mr. Davenport announced that he had a important mission for the us.
"Bree, Chase and Lee. I am putting the Elite Force back together for another mission." Mr. Davenport said.
A/N: Sorry if the speech was excessive. I don't know much about college, other than the fact that I can't wait for it! I also don't know how Yale works, or if they even give out the degrees mentioned. I'm just going to act like they do.
See you for the next chapter!
