Chapter 3

Leo, Chase, Adam, and Bree were back at home. Before the kids got home, Principal Perry called Tasha and Davenport like she said she would. When the kids walked in Davenport asked them how school was.

"So how was school?" He asked.

"Good thanks to my super-smarts although it's tedious. Teachers teach the same stuff repeatedly," Chase answered.

"Yea, school's fun except for the part where we sit in classes and learn all day," Adam added.

"Yea. No one cares just go to the lab," Davenport ordered

"You just asked how school was," Chase explained

"Just go to the lab. Not another word until you guys receive instructions for your next mission." Davenport ordered again. They started walking to the lab.

"Sweet. A mission," Leo said.

"No, you stay here. I'm having Tasha deal with you, and like I said before, you're not going because you wreck everything." Davenport explained.

"Why can't you deal with him?" Tasha asked

"Because I have 3 bionic kids. I didn't sign up to be a parent." Davenport answered. He and the bionic kids were out of the kitchen and in the lab. Tasha shook her head. Leo tried to sneak away but Tasha stopped him.

"Not so fast young man. Principal Perry called," she said. Leo, obviously, wanted to get out of this as soon as possible.

"To tell you what a wonderful student I am?" He stalled. Tasha gave him a mad facial expression.

"I love you mommy." Leo stalled again uselessly.

"Nice try. Leo, you're grades are less-than-stellar and you're always late to class," Tasha said getting to the point.

"Hey, I'm banned from using Bree as taxi. I messed up big time when I did that." Leo uselessly objected.

"Enough excuses, if you keep this up you'll have to be held back a year. I have a meeting with your principal tonight. In the meantime, you're grounded. No TV, no video games, no computer, and no friends for a week," Tasha explained.

"Ugh. Mom you can't take away my fun." Leo complained. Eddie, the obnoxious smart-home system who hated Tasha, spoke.

"Can we take away Tasha?" Eddie said.

"I wish," Leo answered.

"That's it you're grounding starts now. End of discussion." Tasha said.

"But..." Leo started to say.

"No buts. End of discussion." Tasha said. She left of the room to go cook.

"You'd think having 3 bionic siblings would make your life easier. But no, I'm stuck dealing with the same old problems I was dealing with before. I hate my life." Leo lamented.

"You're telling me. I hate everyone in this house. I'm a smart home system but I'm part of this family too." Eddie added than clicked off.

Leo sighed on the couch.

Note: Sorry for the past 2 boring chapters. I promise the next one will be interesting. Bonus: Have you ever been sent to the principal's office or grounded for a bad grade?
