After we had gotten our kayaks and gear, we walked down to the lake and launched them. Leo had been camping before, so he knew how to kayak. Chase, being a genius, was quite fluid in it. But then there was me and Janelle. We were complete beginners, but caught on in about an half hour
"Who wants to go out to the middle of the lake?" asked Leo.
"Sure! Sounds interesting." said Janelle. Chase and I nodded our agreement.
As we began to paddle out, I began to fall behind. I could use my super strength to catch up, but Davenport had said NO bionics, unless there was an emergency. But it couldn't be THAT obvious, could it? I was about to find out.
I dipped my paddle into he water, pulling back hard on it. Over and over I repeated the same motion, gaining speed with each stroke. Soon I was passing Chase, who looked at me with shock, anger, and terror all in one glance.
"What are you doing!?" he yelled, forgetting about Janelle. "Davenport said no bionics! There are too many people who could see you!"
"In the middle of the lake? Come on, Chase! How obvious is it?"
"Very! According to my chip, you are doing a good 25 MPH and gaining!" suddenly, he remembered Janelle. He turned around quickly, only to see her standing there gaping at us. "Or at least I'm guessing." he said, giving a guilty laugh.
"What do you mean 'bionics'? What do you mean 'chip'?" she asked nervously, "And don't lie to me. I will know."
**Leo's POV**
I just sat in my kayak, silent. How could this happen?
Chase spoke up. "Uhh, don't take this the wrong way, but you weren't supposed to know this."
"Yeah, so I guessed. But first, what am I supposed to NOT know?!"
"Leo..." Chase asked
I nodded, took a deep breath, and began. "Adam and Chase...are, uh...bionic."
Janelle's eyes were huge. "S-so they have speicial abilities?"
"Yeah, I have a high intelligence, forcefield, and molecular kinesis." Chase winced.
"So...that is..." she asked
"The ability to move objects with his mind." I replied.
"And Adam has super strength, laser vision, plasma grenades, a blastwave ability, can breath underwater, and slightly below average intelligence." Chase said.
"Yeah, I see that last one a lot." Janelle nervously laughed. "So... what about Bree? Is she bionic too?"
"Yes." I answered. "She has super speed, vocal manipulation, and super agility, which means she can jump super high and stick to walls, etc."
"Cool!" she said. "What do you use them for?"
"We go on missions, and Leo is our Mission Specialist." Adam spoke up.
"Why didn't you ever tell me?" she asked, turning to me.
"Imagine what would have happened if I had told you, and you ran to the authorities and told them about us. I was just trying to protect them."
"I see. Well, this has been quite an afternoon! Who wants to go get a snack?" She said, smiling.
We all agreed, and headed back to shore.
**Bree's POV**
"Okay, are you ready Bree?" Caitlin called over the noise of the machinery.
"Do I really have to answer that?" I called back.
We were getting ready to run and jump on the zipline, which was almost a mile long.
I wasn't nervous, but Caitlin was about ready to wet her pants scared.
"Maybe you should go first!" she yelled.
"But I can't! You have to go in the order looped onto the main cable!"
She sighed, but began to get a running start, and jumped into the air.
"AHHHHHH!"
"Whoever is next may now go." the operators voice crackled over the intercom.
I ran and jumped into air, soaring over the bushes below. The wind rushed through my hair, and I began to pick up speed. It almost felt as if I were flying! I began to catch up to Caitlin, who was screaming her head off. Way to ruin the moment!
All too soon, it was over. We both landed on the wooden platform that was at the other end. The operator at this end began to unhook us.
As we walked down the wooden steps, Caitlin was shaking with excitement.
"That was AWESOME!" She screeched.
"That's not what you said at the top." I mumbled under my breath.
She rolled her eyes. "I can still hear you, Bree."
"Do you want to go get a snack?" I asked.
She nodded, and we began to walk towards the vending machine area, where we met up with my brothers and Janelle. They seemed to be in a good mood, that is, until Chase pulled me aside.
"Is everything ok?" I asked.
"Yes, thankfully. Adam was using his super strength while we were kayaking. I started yelling at him, and Janelle found out about our bionics."
"What? Is she freaked out?"
"No, she agreed to keep our secret. She actually thinks it's pretty cool. So we will have to tell Davenport tonight. Also, she might ask you some questions, so be ready."
"Thanks for the heads up." I smiled.
And with that, we returned to the group and finished our snack.
