And without further a do….
Project C: Chase (Two years after Project A; one year after Project B)
"Please tell me the new kid is the last one?" Eddie half asked, half whined.
"Guaranteed." Davenport said working on the final petri dish bionic embryo, a.k.a Project C.
"God I hope noting happens to you either little guy." Davenport thought as he looked at the screen seeing the embryo wriggling inside its embryonic bag covered with red veins like the previous two.
"Hey what if this kid doesn't come out right?" Eddie asked. Davenport looked up at Eddie, glaring at him full force.
"Don't. You. Dare. Say. That." Davenport said firmly pointing at Eddie with every syllable.
"Hey just saying," Eddie said, "I'm not sensing enough powers coming from this little guy. What if he doesn't turn out to be as special as Projects A or B?"
"Don't listen to him Project C, he's just peeved that I'm adding in a third bionic human." Davenport said looking down at the petri-dish instead of the screen.
"And hey? Why all of a sudden calling Adam and Bree special. I thought you didn't like them?" Davenport asked.
"I meant as powerful as the other two. I mean, Adam has super strength, heat vision, plasma grenades, Bree has super speed, what if this kid ends up being the black sheep of the family; the normal one?"
"I'm sure I could find something useful of him." Davenport said.
"And if you don't?" Eddie asked. Davenport looked at the screen containing the new life form.
"Shut yourself off Eddie." Davenport ordered. Eddie did just that without argument. Davenport then turned to Adam and Bree. The two were about to get ready to sleep in their pod cribs.
"Night Dav!" Adam said cheerfully from his crib pod with a wave of his hand.
Bree looked over at her creator from her crib pod.
"Ba-bye da-da." Bree said with a soft smile while inside her own crib pod. They're not ready for the actual stand up sleeping pods so he built them crib pods to lay down in. Davenport walked up to them to fix them comfortably in their pods.
"Good night you two." Davenport said closing the pod over Adam. He walked over to Bree's pod. She was sitting comfortably in it with a small smile. Her short brown hair was no more than a few inches above her chin so it brought out her smile.
"Alright Bree, ready to go to bed?" Davenport asked. Bree looked over at him and nodded. Davenport smiled leaning close to Bree to fix her blanket like what he did for Adam just now. To his surprise Bree, in a swift movement, had her arms around Davenport with her head on top of one of his shoulders. Davenport could feel her smiling.
"N'night da-da." Bree said softly. Davenport hesitantly placed what he could of his arms around the tiny girl in an almost awkward hug.
"Good night Bree." He said softly, helping the girl lie down carefully. She's not like Adam, who Davenport can easily lift her up at age one and hug her tightly. He's almost afraid of breaking her, just as much as he's afraid Adam might break her when he's not looking. He placed his hand on top of her wrist for a brief moment ehilr giving her a smile before removing his hand, all too grateful for her strong pulse. Davenport then closed her pod and let her fall asleep.
"At least Adam's learning how to get my name right. Too Bad Bree is still in the da-da stage." Davenport thought to himself. He checked his watch. It was only 6:00 p.m. and it was already dark out. Davenport turned to project C's screen. He specifically modified each of the bionic kids to be born with some sort of power, Project C has to be born with one. Adam and Bree had shown signs of powers even while they were still in their embryonic state, even though both experiences were very traumatic for Davenport. He wondered why Project C hasn't yet though. He never once thought about what he would do if one of the kids came out without powers. For some reason it just sounded cruel to leave them in an orphanage just because they were born without powers. It's without a doubt a form of rejection and abandonment. Though not nearly as cruel as gender abortion. Of course he had intended for all the bionic children to be boys from the beginning but for some reason Bree just got a second X chromosome to show up out of nowhere. Davenport actually found that very interesting. How would a girl behave and survive in this type of environment? He continued thinking about how his bionic creations will behave and survive in the lab environment for couple hours. Until, finally, returning his focus back to Project C. he checked his watch. 11:00 p.m.
Davenport looked up at the screen. Project C continued his wriggling like normal. Davenport placed his hand at the side of his head.
"What powers will you have kid?" Davenport wondered aloud. All of a sudden the wriggling of the embryo stopped. Davenport stared at the screen ready to spring into action at anytime. For a tense moment nothing actually appeared to be wrong with the embryo. It just stopped and started wriggling slightly almost hesitantly as if looking for a source of… sound? Davenport let his stiffness looseand looked at the embryo in the screen, mouth slightly agap.
"Can… can you hear me?" Davenport asked hesitantly. The embryo stopped again, then started making slight fragmented movements as if it were hesitantly nodding at Davenport's question. Davenport was… flabbergasted? Yeah that's right… flabbergasted. The embryo can hear him. Almost as if he understands tried one more time, but tried not to scare the embryo.
"Can you understand me?" Davenport asked carefully. The embryo stopped again and maid it's makeshift, fragmented nodding movements.
"Super genius!" Davenport whispered excitedly, "and super hearing! No doubt, that's what its powers will be!"
"What's going on?" Eddie asked appearing on the second screen.
"This kid's going to be a super hearing super genius!" Davenport whispered to Eddie.
"What makes you say that?" Eddie asked.
"I asked it questions, and it responded! How awesome is that!" Davenport whispered/cheered.
"Wait, did it respond with words?" Eddie asked.
"No…" Davenport said.
"Then you're delusional." Eddie said.
"Am not, but I know enough about the human body to understand body language." Davenport said raising his voice a little. Then all of a sudden the embryo stopped moving again.
Davenport turned to the screen immediately.
"Oh! I didn't mean to scare you Project C." Davenport whispered. Project C was still breathing but stopped its wriggling. It almost looked like it was vibrating or shaking in fear or… force? All of a sudden a flash of blue light appeared on the screen,
"Eddie, what just happened!" Davenport asked panicked, with his hands flying up to grib his head in fear.
"I-I don't know." Eddie said just as confused as Davenport. Davenport ignored the screen and looked down at the petri dish. A little blue light the size of a spec was illuminating from the petri dish, almost like a star. All of a sudden the light began to dim down from both the speck and the screen. Knowing that Davenport wouldn't be able to see what's happening to the spec from the dish he looked up at the screen. It was then he gasped, seeing lightish dark blue outlines wrapped around the opposite direction from where the veins are coming from. The blue streaks looked almost as if they were connected to a giant ball that circled around the entire embryonic bag. The embry stopped wriggling, but was still breathing. It was still vibrating in place, as though either using force or shaking in fear. After a while the embryo stopped and let the blue streaked ball disappear around it. after a moment it began it's wriggling.
"What the heck just…?" Eddie interrupted himself by beginning to name off possible powers.
"Possible powers are: high genius level activity, super hearing, and adrenaline brute strength, and flight. I don't even know what that last one is." Eddie said.
"Adrenaline brute strength/flight is probably a power or powers it'll get by feeling threatened, or getting too angry. You know like the hulk. Man this kid is gonn be probably the most powerful. But I'll probably get rid of flight, it sounds totally useless." Davenport said. "But what I wanna know is what the heck was up with the light show."
"Maybe it was a sign of power development." Eddie said.
"Yeah well, Adam and Bree never went through anything like it." Davenport said.
"Yeah, but each of their powers are different. Maybe depending on their powers shows different signs of power development. Remember what the other two went through?" Eddie said.
"Let's not relive those moments." Davenport interrupted.
"New power detected," Eddie said automatically, ":force-fields."
"Force-fields?" Davenport whispered a hand to his chin in thought. "That must've been what it was. When it was heard me, it must've decided to use a fotcefield to try and protect itself."
"Well, I guess this kid is going to be born with powers anyway." Eddie said.
"Yeah, I guess it is." Davenport said looking up at the screen.
"You okay kid?" Davenport whispered to it. Project C stopped its wriggling once more and gave its makeshift fragmented nods.
"He understood you?" Eddie breathed in an amazed whisper.
"Told ya'." Davenport said feeling proud and so much pride in Project C, knowing if it'll grow up to be a super genius, no doubt Davenport and it will get along great. He might even consider asking for its assistance on his annual call when the kid is older.
(Eight months later):
"Da-da?" Young Bree asked looking up at Mr. Davenport. Davenport resisted the urge to groan. He won't be able take being called da-da or even, 'Dad' all the time by his creations. Things just wouldn't work when they get older.
"Yes Bree?" Davenport asked looking at one-year-old Bree.
"Esh-u-Bay-bee?" She asked looking up at the eight month old fetus in the breeding test tube.
"Yes Bree. He is going to be year little bionic brother when he's born next month." Davenport said to Bree. Adam came in, bumped Bree to the side a little bit and asked, "Name?"
"Ouch!" Bree yelled.
"Adam, be more careful with Bree. She's not strong enough to handle your strength." Davenport said.
"So-wy." Adam said looking down guiltily.
"Bree are you alright?" Davenport asked. Bree was now glaring heavily at Adam. It's a good thing she wasn't the one with heat vision or Adam would already be incinerated.
"Rrrrhh!" Bree growled and started chasing Adam around the room. Ofcourse since she's only one and still very young her speed can only be compared to that of a grown man which made it very easy for Mr. Davenport to capture.
"Bree. What did I say about chasing Adam?" Davenport asked as soon as catching Bree.
"Chase!" Bree cheered.
"Huh?" Adam, Eddie, and Davenport said in unison.
"Name! Chase!" Bree cheered again.
"Name? Chase?" Davenport asked. Bree nodded.
"Bay-bee - Chase!" Bree cheered again.
"Chase?"Davenport thought. "That's not a bad name." He looked up at the fetus.
"What do you think of the name Chase?" He whispered so only the fetus could hear, if it does have bionic hearing. The male fetus gave a just barely noticeable twitch to the mouth, almost as a smile. That slightest hint of comprehension made Davenport smile.
Adam … Bree… Chase.
It was then Davenport realized he had truly created his Bionic Projects… A, B, C.
A/N: Yay! Done with chapter 3! :)
Ipromise you guys I will make an epilogue chapter. WHY? You'll find out.
