Hey Mighty Med and Lab Rats fans! If you don't know me, I generally write Lab Rats fanfiction. If you do know me, we meet again ;)
I am super siked for this book. I have planned it carefully and every detail is important! I got inspired by the crossover episode "Lab Rats vs Mighty Med".
I want to thank everyone who submitted OCs, even the ones that aren't on fanfiction (You know who you are LOL, love ya)! I want to thank Leo Corp and TKDP for helping me with some tweets XD, they were great! I want to thank my beta reader the_ex-ter-mi-nat-or for checking this. :)
Because this story is T, I'm going to say the warnings just to be clear:
-Based on the events in the book, every character might have an ooc moment or characters will stay ooc at first.
-T = PG-13. The events here are not too much, but they're not too little.
-Anyone who submitted an OC will make cameos AND appearances: some much longer than others ;)
[ Chapter I - All By One Tweet ]
You would think it was a typical day at the Davenport Bionic Academy, but that was not the case. All over social media people were discussing about one topic; If superheroes or bionic super humans fought in a battle, who would win?
Of course it was a tweet by an innocent and a curious fifteen year old. This tweet was made after it was confirmed superheroes were among the human race.
Around that time, Adam, Bree, Chase, and Marcus were trying to get use to the fact they weren't the only bionic humans in the world. Training hundreds of students wasn't easy, but it was interesting since both parties learned from each other. Students learned how to interact with other people, while the mentors had learned a few tricks the student remembered. They were impressed the (ex) bionic soldiers remembered their tricks since they supposedly forgot everything from being controlled by The Triton App. The answer for that was muscle memory. It wasn't bad at all.
Leo would consider many things bad and the idea of being a student than a mentor was on the top of his list. In fact, he would always try to be the best, although most times it was an epic fail. Sure, he would be allowed to go on missions, but teaching others was something he wanted. Not only to teach others, but to show them what real life is all about. Life is not sugar coated unless you want to make it that way.
Many students at the academy were at high level rankings. The first level started at beginner, followed by Intermediate. The higher levels were Advanced and Expert. A few were still on the beginner level, but no one paid much attention to the ranking system. A few were experts, they still had to train to be efficient. Amongst the experts, two students were definitely capable of making their own group to go on missions.
Logan was one of them, he would take many things as a joke, but when it was time to get serious there was no room for messing up. Sebastian was the other student who was capable of going on a mission. He was more laid back and he always tried to find the quickest ways to solve a problem, even if it was stupid. He was the risk taker.
Everyone was taught new subjects about the world. They were taught how to use technology (which was somewhat a pain in the butt) and they also had the option to learn a new language. However they did seem to retain knowledge of basic needs that every person knows.
Currently, Bree was reading a magazine in the mentor quarters, she was very content with the gossip. She was on lunch break just like her brothers. Students and faculty had an hour of free time before returning to class.
As she turned the to the next page, she didn't expect a whole article on them and superheroes; it had been written by Sofia Sanders. She was intrigued of what she had to say.
As many of you know, superheroes have been in our culture for a very long time. They are definitely classics. They are what any kid wished to be. Now we all know the truth: superheroes exist. Where do bionic super humans stand? They are also like superheroes, but what makes them different or alike? I can think of a few differences from the top of my head. My first reason, superheroes have been here for a long time, so they have a lot of experience on what they're doing. Their powers come naturally.
Bree was confused by that statement. "More experience? What does that suppose to mean?" She kept reading.
I know for a fact most heroes get their powers naturally. So of course, they can handle what's coming to them. Remember the nationwide blackout the United States had? Who's fault was it, the bionic 'heroes'. Don't get me wrong. The bionics have done many things to save lives. They've even risked their own life for us, but are they are not invincible. I do have to say both groups haven't had enough credit for what they've done. I actually had interviewed Skylar Storm for this topic. She had a few things to say. What is your opinion about the bionic super humans? SS - They're more like fancy appliances [Laughs] Who has chips for power? You damage it, there's no going back. I think they're kinda cool either way. What is a positive thing about being a superhero? SS - We get comic books written about us. Everything you read there actually happened. They know we're "human" too. What superhero and bionic human would you like to see in a match? SS - I don't know. Maybe [laughs] Actually, I would want the Crusher to wrestle one of Adam's students. I remember awhile back he tweeted "Just got beat by one of my students" and posted a picture of them arm wrestling. They literally bent a metal table, it was insane! His student was really buff and had blonde hair. I would really want him to wrestle the Crusher. Anything else you would like to add? SS - Comic book fans, I know there will be a new issue of 'The League of Heroes' and a signing at Pittsburgh, Philadelphia through the 25th to 27th of September. I'll be there if you want an autograph. Keep reading Cheetah Beat! Before I finish. I would love to leave you a thought. A while back, a fifteen year old boy tweeted "If superheroes and bionic super humans fought in a battle, who would win?" What's your opinion on the topic. Who's better? Tweet to Cheetah Beat, I'd love to see your responses.

Bree stopped eating her sandwich and shuts the magazine. She was very offended, they were biased on who was better. What was wrong with them? They could handle many things! They defeated a man who was planning to control the whole world with his little app!
"I hope this doesn't start anything," Bree took her half eaten sandwich and threw it away in the trash. She had lost her appetite from the article. It was unfair that they were being segregated like this.
She leaves the magazine on the table and walks out of the mentor quarters. Bree hopes the classes would take the idea out of her head. It's just a dumb article.
Oliver was organizing patient papers, he would need to keep them in alphabetical order, but he knows it won't stay for long. One pile was for cured superheroes and the other pile was for injured superheroes. He was wondering where Kaz had went since he was suppose to be organizing the files with him. Oliver left the papers in two piles. He leaves the main room and goes into the hallway to see if he catches him. Oliver knew everything changed since the exposure of superheroes. Mighty Med was still a secret, which was a good thing. They didn't need
The people took it way lighter than when the bionic group was discovered and later the bionic army. Most people were glad to hear their favorite characters actually existed. He had felt the same emotion when he and Kaz discovered Mighty Med.
Oliver goes to the Rec Room to see if Kaz is in there. He pushes through the double doors and finds Kaz video chatting with someone.
"Kaz, what are you doing? You're supposed to be helping me organize patient papers." Oliver walks over to his best friend.
Kaz brings his phone over his chest. "I am video chatting. I'm taking my break now to take an important call."
Oliver was flabbergasted at Kaz's comment. "Who is it?"
"You don't know her," he said.
Oliver was curious of who he was talking about. "You could at least show me."
"Yeah . . . No." Kaz said as he shook his head. He quickly slips his phone out and says, "Kate, I'll talk to you later."
Kaz turns off his phone after she said bye to him. He shoves it in the front pocket of his jeans and looks back at Oliver. "What were we talking about again?"
"Kaz, I was telling to come help me organize the patient papers. Horace could come here any moment and cube us."
Kaz looks at Oliver, "Calm down, you're taking this way too far."
"BOYS!" Horace's voice boomed through the hallway and could be heard from the Rec room and other places.
Kaz and Oliver jump in fear. This was the end of them.
Kaz looks at Oliver, "On second thought, you're right! He's gonna to cube us!"
Oliver nods in response to his comment. He was too young to be cubed and he didn't even get his first kiss! Maybe he was thinking a little too far ahead like Kaz.
Horace enters the Rec room, he finds Kaz and Oliver scrunched up together.
"Please don't cube us!" Oliver pleaded. "I was doing my work, not Kaz!"
Kaz pushes his friend away. "Seriously dude."
"Survival of the fittest?" Oliver says back while avoiding the glare Kaz was sending his way.
Horace looks at the boys with a confused expression. He didn't question what they were talking about. "Listen, do you know where Skylar is?"
"No, we haven't seen her." Oliver said.
Skylar wasn't a patient anymore at Mighty Med since she was able to receive her powers back. However, she did visit Oliver and Kaz everyday at a certain time. If she wasn't there, she would tell them. Today was weird since she didn't visit and she didn't text them she wasn't going.
"Why do you need to talk to her?" Kaz asked as he looked at the half burnt magazine.
Horace flipped through the pages of the book and stopped at an article titled 'Supers Vs. Bionics'. Kaz was able to read the first paragraph before Horace could move it away.
Oliver asks, "What does Skylar need to do in this?"
"As her fake father, I need to ask if any of you participated in this. Since I guess you didn't, I'll show you what happened."
Horace bends the magazine in half so the boys could read what he was talking about. Oliver was done reading it in a minute or so because he only scanned the important parts. Kaz took a little long as a result of his reading level being much lower. A Lot of people were surprised he made it to high school, even he was!
"Skylar actually said those things?" Oliver asked. He was disappointed in her.
"Yes, I need to know why."
Kaz looked at Horace after he was done reading. "This is leaned more to the superheroes saying they are better."
"Technically both groups are superheroes, they're just named differently," Oliver clarifies. "Let me text Skylar to see where she's at."
Oliver pulls out his phone to send Skylar a message.
Oliver: Skylar. Where r u
Skylar immediately replies to Oliver.
Skylar: Busy.
Oliver knew what that meant. He could imagine Skylar trying to type as fast as she could while she fought villains.
"She's fighting right now," Oliver casually says.
Kaz nods, "That explains a lot."
"I'll talk to her later when she comes back." Horace leaves the Rec room to walk back to the main room. He sees two piles of important papers and remembers the real reason to look for Kaz and Oliver. "BOYS!"
"That's our cue," Oliver tells Kaz. He runs out the room without Kaz.
"Yeah," Kaz mumbles to himself. "No kidding."
Skylar and Tecton were fighting a few goons who were robbing a bank. They were heavily armed, so both heroes had to be careful when handling them. They could shoot any civilian and possibly kill any with precision.
Tecton slammed his foot on the ground as hard as he could. There was a wave on the ground that appeared in small ripples which made it's way to the robbers. They fell to the ground and landed on their backs.
One of them recovered quickly enough to look for his gun. He aimed it at Skylar to finish her off. He was tired of people getting in his way. The moment he pulled on the trigger, everything was slow for Skylar. People seemed to stop running, the robbers who were on the ground looked completely motionless, and the helicopters in the air were in slow motion. She was moving too fast for the world to catch up.
To her, she was jogging. That wasn't the case. In reality she was running while using her super speed. The bullet the man shot a second ago had passed above Skylar's left shoulder. It was a gold color bullet with a letter and a number on it.
She quickly ran to the robber and knocked out his gun. It flew high in the air, the robber couldn't catch it, but Skylar could, however she didn't bother catching it. Skylar was back at her normal perception of things. She looks at the guy in front of her. Skylar was overpowered, she had to admit, yet she fought him hand-to-hand style.
The man waited for Skylar to engage first. She was also in the same stance as he was, they paced around slowly to study each other. Skylar knew waiting was better, but it was very tiring. The robber narrowed his eyes at her and jumped very high in the air then kicked Skylar in the face. When she fell to the ground, the right side of her face scraped against the concrete.
She quickly gets up and the mark on her face vanishes, thanks to her regenerative ability. Skylar curls her fists to punch him. Once her hand made contact with him, she retreated her hand away, and held it. She swore there was a clicking noise as if he was made from metal.
"Dude, what are you made of? Titanium!?"
The robber smirked at her before trying to kick her in the head again. Skylar ducked and then used her strength to punch him on his side. She was able to keep him on the low until he disappeared. Skylar stopped herself from falling by placing one foot in front. She looks over at Tecton, he was lost, too. It was very rare that he'd seen that happen.
"Where'd they go?" Skylar asked.
Tecton shook his head. "I don't know. They teleported away and left the bags."
Tecton walked over to the black sacks, the money was still in there. Skylar looks at Tecton, she was curious why they left the bags and why they didn't use their powers. They didn't even know who they were!
"Where'd they go?" The second youngest said.
The two superheroes heard a voice followed by another one.
"That's really weird," a feminine voice said.
Tecton turned around and was relieved to see them. They possibly knew where the guys went, but the more he thought, he knew that wasn't the case.
"Looks like they've got it. Wow, Skylar didn't receive a scratch." Leo was very impressed.
"Of course she doesn't, she has the capability of healing herself." Everyone gives Chase a weird look except for Leo. "What? I did my research."
"We need to know what happened," Bree says, immediately changing the subject.
"We were attacking the robbers, but they teleported away and left the money behind." Tecton summarized.
"They were bionic." Chase inferred.
"So it was one of your soldiers!" Skylar suddenly yelled at Chase.
"It wasn't one of our students, we would've known. One of us reported the mission." Chase argued back.
Skylar sneered at him. "You guys are a little late, bionic heroes. Tecton and I have this under control, much better than you all. The public is right, supers are superior."
Tecton didn't want to interfere, but the situation was starting to get out of hand. "It's okay. We don't need anymore help. Thank you though."
"I don't think you get it." Bree spoke up. "Before we arrived here, people were saying who was better. No one is, we are all the same. There is no need for segregation. Plus I saw what you said, BTW, no one likes an overpowered hero."
"We are not one," Skylar said in a serious tone she inched closer to Bree.
"OKAY! We are okay, they are okay, and we will be leaving." Leo quickly pulled his siblings back to talk to them. "What is happening?"
"Yeah, Bree seems to know a lot," Adam commented.
Bree said, "Many people are talking really bad about us. You can check all over social media for proof."
Chase gives his siblings a confused look before fetching for his phone. He opens the app to his twitter and sees most tweets are negative.

"That's not very nice." Chase said with a frown. He looked very disappointed, why were they being biased against them? "What . . . She's right."
"That is not possible," Leo said. "I can't believe they would say those things."
"Look. It's not as bad as it seems. It's probably a small discussion." Chase puts his phone back in the holster of his mission suit.
Bree shakes her head in disagreement. "There was an article written about us. It was completely biased."
"Again, this is nothing." Chase was trying to reassure a few things again.
Adam said, "I don't know maybe Bree is right. Did you not see Skylar?"
Leo was sad. Two of his favorite superheroes let him down. They were against bionic humans, even if he wasn't completely bionic.
In the end, they went back to the island. The robbers had escaped and the superheroes had everything under control. To Bree, it simply wasn't a foolish article, this was the beginning of something terrible.
Supers 1 and Bionics 0.
The first chapter of a long journey has been complete! The tension can already be seen, but don't worry ;) everything is going at its pace.
