I
The New Lab Rat
Five Year old, Bree Davenport was playing with her four year old brother, Chase, when her dad returned home.
Bree immediately super-speeded over, as Donald Davenport entered the Lab.
"Daddy," she squealed.
"Not right now," said Davenport. He was holding a badly burnt young boy.
"Chase, Adam." he said turning to the boys. "Go to my room upstairs and get the box labeled Bionic D.
"But, we not allowed upstairs," said Chase, cocking his head.
"Now!" exclaimed Davenport.
Adam and Chase quickly scrambled to the elevator and the doors closed.
"Bree can you watch him for a second," he said, "I need to get something."
Davenport quickly left the room, leaving Bree staring at the boy.
Just looking at him, Bree felt sick. He was covered in red marks, and his hair was half-burned off. But the weirdest thing, was that Davenport had put him down on a wet table, and the water was swirling around the boy's body, and the cuts started to close.
"Daddy!" she yelled.
Davenport quickly ran back into the room carrying a box labeled BT.
"Where are your brother's? Are they…"
It was then that Davenport noticed the boy healing.
"Bree," he said, turning to her. "Get your brothers. Make sure they bring that box. Also, get a few bottles of water.
Bree super-speeded to the elevator, and at the same time, it opened with Chase and Adam walking out.
"Found it!" said Adam.
Bree quickly, pushed the up button on the elevator and went up.
She gasped when she saw it. Adam, she, nor Chase had ever been up here, and it was beautiful. There was a glass wall on one side, with a beautiful view into the distance.
She wanted to stay forever, but she reminded herself of the boy, she grabbed a few water bottles, and rushed downstairs, again.
She saw Davenport holding a few tools, and putting a needle into the boy's arm. The boy stopped jerking and relaxed.
The box Bree's brother's had retrieved was open, and Davenport was cutting holes into his body.
Davenport noticed Bree and yelled for her to come over.
"Adam, Bree, Chase," he yelled, "go upstairs, you're not gonna want to see this."
"But, I-" started Bree.
"No, buts," he ordered. The Lab Rats complied and went upstairs.
Whereas Adam and Chase explored the house with interest, Bree sat in the room in front of the elevator.
She had never been very patient, most likely due to her super-speed, however, she found herself patient just this once.
She hadn't left the spot since leaving the lab. She wasn't sure how much time had gone by since she had gone upstairs, but she didn't care. Her thoughts revolved around the mysterious boy that 'Daddy' had brought home.
Suddenly, the elevator dinged, and a tired looking Mr. Davenport stepped out.
"Bree?" he asked in surprise. "Where are Adam and Chase?"
Bree just shrugged.
"Adam, Chase!" yelled Davenport.
There was scrambling and a crash, then the six year old and four year old, stepped into the room.
"The boy's waking up," said Davenport, "Do you want to see him?"
The three nodded.
Davenport nodded, and he motioned for them to follow him.
They took the elevator down, and reached the lab.
Bree gasped when she saw the boy.
Gone were the burns; he now had pale skin, and was starting to move.
Sea-green eyes snapped open, and the boy sat up.
"Where..where am I? Where's mommy?"
"Hi I'm Bree," said Bree, smiling at the boy.
The boy smiled back. "Hi. I'm Percy."
AN: In the next chapter, 10 years has gone by.
By the way, Percy's bionics are not gained from a bionic implant in her neck like with Adam, Bree, and Chase. Instead, his are from implants like with Leo's bionic arm.
