Chapter 3 Bonding

Douglas was walking by with his shopping when he saw his nerdy, bionic youngest crying.

"Woah Chase you ok? What's going on you look terrible!"

Douglas whispered as he sat down next to the youngest rat on the bench while putting down his shopping.

"Ok, tell me everything I need to know son."

Chase then explains what happened in the school.

"Wow! Ok um wow that's sounds terrible! I feel so sorry for you Chase!" Douglas said in a loud whisper while putting his arms around his son to comfort him.

"Thanks." Chase mumbled.

Douglas sat and thought for a while.

"Hey Chase, I was thinking and I thought that you should come over and live with me for a change. Also since you're not on the team anymore I was thinking of giving you all of Bree's and Adam's bionics, we could be a new team, like father and son."

"This is a great idea Douglas why didn't we think of these ages ago." Chase yelled while jumping in joy with a big smile across his face.

"I don't know but first Chase we need to go to Donnie's house to upgrade your chip." Douglas grunted while standing up.

"Douglas, Mr Davenport is going to know that we got into his house, he had security cameras all over the house." Chase argued.

"He won't find out Chase. I can hack into his system and block them all and you will hack into Eddie's system and shut him down."

"Ok I'll do that while you drive."

"Now get in the car." Douglas commanded.

Chase got in the car with his biological father then drove to Mr. Davenport's house. On the way Douglas and Chase caught up with each other's lives, they were identical, they liked the same music, same colour and the same hair style.

"Douglas I missed you a lot when you left."

"Chase I missed you too, now be honest, why was Adam and Bree abusing you?"

"Well…. Um….. You know um….. We never really got alone and um they always abuse me like that it's a brotherly and sisterly thing." Chase sighed then looked out the window with a heart ache of depression.

"And school?" Douglas protested.

"Well they just pull pranks on me and say mean things, I don't really care what they think." Chase quietly whispered.

"Chase, they are bulling you, why didn't you tell Donnie or Tasha, they could of helped you, when you get back to school I'll deal with those bullies!" Douglas harshly called.

"No Douglas I don't really care what they say or think." Chase hesitated.

"Chase, words can hurt more than you think, you really need to talk to me about this, ok?" Douglas kindly whispered.

"Fine, but you won't get much out of me."

Douglas felt really worried for his son, he didn't want to lose him too.

After 30 minutes of awkward silence, Douglas reached the Davenports house and parked the car in front of the driveway. Chase and Douglas both got out of the car and walked inside the house, no one was home. They got to the elevator and pressed the button to go down to the lab.

"Hey Chase I hope you don't mind but I need to take a bit of Donnie's money so we can build the lab to put you in." Douglas asked.

"Yeah don't worry he has a lot of money anyway he won't notice one bit!" Chase chuckled.

"Cool and I'm just asking did you ever steal any of Donnie's money." Douglas questioned.

"About $2050 or more depends what I use it for." They both looked at each other and lathed.

"Wow I never thought my son would do the exact thing I did when I was his age."

Chase looked surprised "Wait you did the same who and how much."

"Well most of it from Donnie but some from our mother." Douglas looked a bit guilty.

"Wow we are alike I guess it wasn't really insulting of Bree to say to me, I am glad that I joined you." Chase chuckled.

The elevator doors open.

"Good the cost is clear, now Chase hand me that USB over there." Douglas pointed out while walking to the computer.

"Sure dad." Chase and Douglas both looked at each other in shock that the fact Chase called Douglas dad.

"That's ok Chase I guess if I call you son I guess it would make sense if you call me dad!"

They both hugged "Thanks I guess it does, dad!"

Douglas plugged the USB into Chase's finger and Chase went inside his capsule to implant the update into his chip.

"Update complete."

"Wow I feel different, it feels great thanks dad!" Chase cheered.

"Try them out Chase let's see what you can do! Try super strength first go lift that barrel over there." Douglas demanded.

Chase nodded and went over to a barrel which weighed 200kg. He lifted it with one hand than threw it.

The barrel slammed onto the ground, creating a huge bang.

"Wow this is AMAZING I bet Adam can't hurt me now!"

"Good, now try super speed." Then Chase super speeded around the room faster than Bree could, then sped over where Douglas was.

"It WORKS!" Chase cheered.

"Good you're not dead, now we need to hack into Donnie's bank account and steal some of his precarious money!" Douglas mocked.

"Ok but how long would that take? It's almost the end of the day Adam, Bree, Leo and Mr Davenport will be back soon." Chase replied.

"Well I don't know it could take an hour but with your super sped and intelligence you could crack the code in no time." Douglas relised.

He then gave Chase the laptop and was cracking the code.

"I'm on!"

Douglas took the laptop from Chase's lap and began to take some money.

"How much are we taking?" Chase asked.

"Well maybe half of his money, which is 9 billion." Douglas chuckled.

Douglas then transferred it onto his account and then he took 1 billion from Donald's and put it on Chase's.

"Hey why are you putting his money on my account?" The youngest bionic growled with worry in his eyes.

"Chase you need the money, after what you have been through I think you deserve it right?" Douglas winked.

"Yeah, thanks dad." Chase thanked.

"Please Chase don't ever let them get the best of you." Douglas said sounding concerned.

"I'll never leave you dad." Chase cried.

Chase got up and went over to Douglas and gave him a big hug.

"Son."

"Dad."
