Chapter 2

Mr. Davenport

I decide to go first. I tried to hide how bad it really was from the kids. But inside I know that the best case scenario is he wakes up at all. Honestly, if he makes it through the night I will be surprised. When his chip imploded it destroyed his spinal cord and caused extreme brain and nervous damages. I have him on an oxygen tank and a heart monitor. His face is pale with pain. "Hay Chase, it's me Mr. Davenport." I start softly. "I don't really know what to say to you right now. Hay do you remember when you were a little kid. You were just learning how to control your molecular kinesis. I think you were 7 when you discovered that ability. You were trying to make a spoon move from one end of the room to the other. And you accidentally hit Adam in the head with the spoon. He got so mad at you and you got scared. You accidently glitched and made everything in the room go to the ceiling. It took us days to fix the lab. Oh and remember when Bree made fun of you because you got scared during that horror movie when you were 9. That was the first time Spike got out. You messed up the lab, and Bree, so much. I was honestly proud. It was the first time you showed that you were capable of fighting. Remember when you and Leo made that robot that beat mine in that robot battle. That was the day I became ready to give you my empire. That was the day you proved that you were the one I am supposed to give my life's work to. But, my favorite memory of you when you were younger was when you were 11. You accidentally called me Dad. Listen, I know I was always more of a trainer and coach than a father, but I want you to know you are my son. And I love you more than anything. More than money, fame or even myself. You kids are my children and I would do anything for you." I'm now crying "I am sooo sorry I can't fix you Chasey. I promise I will be whatever I can to fix you." I cry for a long time. "I'm proud of you son. I love you. I love more than you will ever know."

Bree

"Chase" I say as I stare at his pale face. It's weird talking to a person even though they can't hear you. "Wake up. Please. We need you to be alright. You are my brother." I quickly realize pleading isn't going to help. So I decide to move onto, the what I am afraid is good-bye. "I have never told you this, but I think you are really smart. I know if you were awake you would say how you are supposed to be smart. But I mean even without your bionics you are smart. I don't think you need your bionics to be a hero. You are always sacrificing yourself for us. Me and Adam never told you this, but we hate it when you save your butts. I don't really know why though. Maybe because we don't like being rescued or maybe because we hate the idea of needing help from our little brother. Or maybe we don't like that you saved us, because you are the little brother we are supposed to protect you. A lot of times it gets flipped. You watch out for us. Me and Adam gang up on you a lot. I am really sorry. It's just you are so different than the two of us. Remember when you left to go on that mission all by yourself and got stuck in that avalanche? We were all really upset. And I don't know what I would have done. Chase, if you don't….. make it. I don't know what I will do. Chase you are my brother. I care about you so much. If you die part of me is going with you. All I need is for you to wake up. I don't know care what state you are in. We will help you through it. I know Mr. Davenport is trying to make it seem better than it is. But I know he doesn't expect you to live. Please prove him wrong. We need you. I need you."

Leo

"You look awful" I tell him "Hay can you hear me? No, okay. Listen I have been thinking about how this could change everything. I mean if you aren't bionic any more than…. Whoa. I am doing a really bad job at this aren't I? Listen Chase even if you aren't going to be normal when you wake up you are still going to be my brother. When I first met you I didn't think you would become my brothers and sister. I thought we would be friends. Just friends. But you so much more than that. More than friends, best friends or even half-brothers. You are my full on brother for life. Can I tell you something? I am really jealous of you guys. You guys have all these awesome abilities. You guys are better than my video games. And you Chase are the leader of the superheroes. How cool is that!? It's amazing. Adam and Bree don't understand us really. They are popular and athletic. We are neither, but that's how we bond. We understand each other. Sometimes Adam and Bree drive me crazy. There has only been one time I got really mad at you. That was when you took my act for the talent show. But we both got what we deserved. When you wake up I want us to take Big D's helicopter to Michigan. Before I go I want to tell you a secret. Sometimes I feel really worthless around you guys. All I do is make mistakes and 'Leo' things up. But when I am around you, you make me feel as important as you guys. You talk to me like a brother."
