So I needed to have Dylan's first day in here somewhere, and so this chapter is mostly just a flashback of the day Dylan broke into there house. But it does have some Dylan/Adam brotherly bonding in it too.
Adam's POV
I can's sleep. I look at the clock 4:56 am. I just can't stop thinking about Dylan. He is my little brother now, and that means that I'm supposed to take care of him.
I think about when he first showed up.
FLASHBACK Still Adam's POV
"KIDS! YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" Mr. Davenport yells
"We're coming. We're coming" I say walking down the stairs with Leo following me.
"Where are Bree and Chase?" Leo asks Mr. Davenport
"They're down in the lab. Chase was helping Bree with her math" Mr. Davenport says and we nod
Just then Bree super speeds into the living room dragging Chase behind her
"We're ready to go" she says
We were about to leave when someone busts through the back window.
Standing there in front of us is a blonde haired boy - who can't be any older than fourteen - with glowing green eyes and he was wearing something that looks like a mission suit.
"Who are you?" I ask
He shoots a laser at us, and Chase uses his force field to block it
"He's bionic" Mr. Davenport says
"Bu-But...But that's impossible" Douglas says while staring at the boy
They look at him a little closer "AND HE'S UNDER CONTROL OF THE TRITON APP!" Mr. Davenport shouts pointing at him
He shoots Mr. Davenport, Douglas, Tasha, and Leo with plasma grenades, and they fall to the ground unconscious. He then looks at us.
Before we can react he speeds over to Bree and attacks her. Me and Chase stand back and watch as the two battle. He is just a kid, and Bree is evenly matched. Since they both have super speed, they are easily able to dodge each others attacks.
But when the boy finally lands a punch to her face, and knocks her out, Chase and I run over to her. I then get up to see him standing in front of us smiling evilly.
"Look I don't want to hurt you but-" I am cut off by him punching me in the face with his super strength. I'm taken back, and while I'm still a little dazed the boy goes to Chase.
Chase stands up and looks at the young boy standing in front of him
"Okay, so you're obviously not listening to us, but I will not fight you" Chase says, and the boy just shoots his heat vision at his head. Chase falls to the ground in pain just as Bree starts to wake up.
"CHASE!" she yells crawling over to him
"HEY!" I yell, and the boy turns to me "I DIDN'T WANT TO HURT YOU, BUT YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE!" I yell, and activate my blast wave
Chase covers him and Bree before I even finish yelling, because he knew what was coming next. But the boy doesn't react fast enough, and gets thrown to the other side of the room.
Mr. Davenport, Douglas, Tasha, and Leo all wake up to see the young blonde haired boy flying across the room.
We all get up to check on him.
Chase bends down to him, and checks his heart.
"He still has a pulse, but it sounds a little weak."
"I'd better take him down to the lab, and make sure he's okay" Mr. Davenport says bending down and picking him up bridal style.
We all go down to the lab, and Mr. Davenport lays him down on the cyber desk. Douglas starts hooking stuff up to him, and doing the doctor part, and Mr. Davenport starts typing stuff on the computers.
Meanwhile me, Bree, and Chase are all recovering from the fight with the boy, Leo was helping Mr. Davenport with removing the kids chip, and Tasha was sitting next to the boy stroking his hair.
They removed his chip, and fixed his injuries. Now we're just waiting for him to wake up.
"NO! STOP PLEASE!" the boy yells in his sleep "PLEASE NO! PLEASE MR. KRANE STOP!"
"Did he just say Krane?" Bree asks, and we all look worried "I WANT MY MOM BACK!" he yells still moving around in his sleep.
"Hey...Hey come on buddy wake up." Mr. Davenport says shaking him to wake him up
The boy opens his eyes and sits straight up. He looks around and he looks really scared.
"W-W-Where am I?" the boy asks starting to cry a little
"Sweetie there's nothing to be worried about" Tasha says to him in her soothing mother voice, and Douglas removes all of the wires connected to him
"That's n-not an a-an-answer" he says once Douglas finishes still looking terrified
"You're in our lab" Bree says walking over to him
He looks at her for a minute "You're Bree...Bree Davenport" he says
"Yes I am" she says, and he looks even more scared
"Hey buddy what's wrong?" Mr. Davenport asks him
"I-I-I can't tell you" he says looking down at the ground
"Is it that you're bionic, and want to kill us?" I ask, and everyone stares at me
"NO I...I don't want to...but how did you know all that?"
"Because it just happened upstairs" I say, and he starts tearing up again
"I'm sorry" he says barely above a whisper, and looks up at us
"D-Did I do that?" he says pointing to the cut on Bree's cheek
"Umm...yes" Bree says "But it's fine, we could see that you were under the control of the Triton App" she says, and he looks terrified again
"HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT? ARE YOU GONNA USE IT ON ME TOO?" he says jumping off the desk, and backing away from us starting to cry again
"No. I promise we're not" Mr. Davenport says slowly walking over to him
He looks even more terrified, and slides down the wall until he is sitting on the ground, and curls up in a little ball and starts crying
"Awww, sweetie" Tasha says walking over to him "Are you okay?" she says. He looks up and I can see the tears streaming down his cheeks
I walk over to him "Hey..buddy. You're fine, but there is something I need to ask you"
"What?" he says not crying as much now
"When you were having a nightmare..you were yelling stuff...And you said something about Krane" he looks as if he's about to break down as soon as I say that name "Was it Victor Krane?"
He nods in response, and I gently stand him up, and bring him over to the couch in the corner
Bree and Tasha on either side of him, and Mr. Davenport kneels down in front of him
"Okay now, are you feeling okay?" Mr. Davenport asks him, and he looks around at us and nods
"Okay then. I'm going to ask you a few questions, and I need you to answer" he takes a deep breath and nods again
"Okay, first off what's your name?" Mr. Davenport asks
he sniffles a little bit before answering "D-D-Dylan"
"Dylan?" Mr. Davenport asks, and he nods his head again
"Okay then Dylan, about when you were yelling in your sleep earlier. You were yelling some things that I need to ask you about"
"Go ahead"
"What do you know about Victor Krane?"
He looks at the floor "He's" he gulps "He's kinda my dad"
"He's your what!?" Mr. Davenport yells causing Dylan to tear up again. Bree pulls him into her, and he looks like he's crying a bit
"Donald!" Tasha yells
"Sorry. Dylan what do you mean kinda?"
He pulls away from Bree "Well he adopted me when I was seven"
"So you were an orphan?" Bree asks
"Yes" he says playing with his bracelet
"Could you tell us about your life a little bit?" Mr Davenport asks, but he just continues to play with his bracelet
"Wacha got there?" Chase asks gesturing to his bracelet
"A bracelet my mom gave me before she...before she died"
"I was an orphan for two years before Krane adopted me. Right from the second I walked in that house he tortured me. He beat me when I did something wrong. He would cut me when I messed up..."
He finished telling us about his life with Krane, and that there was an army of bionics training to attack us.
"So...you're the first of many bionic soldiers sent here by Krane to destroy us" Mr. Davenport says
"Uh, yeah" Dylan says looking at the floor again. He had finally calmed down...finally
"So" Chase started "What do we do now? I mean it's not like we can just send him back"
"Well you're right about that Chase" Douglas says walking over to the cyber desk to look at Dylan's chip, and everyone but Tasha followed
"If you're not gonna send me back then" he said getting up, and he gulped looking scared "What are you gonna do with me?"
"Well, I guess we're gonna keep you here" Mr. Davenport says to him
"But what about Krane? He's gonna come back for me"
"I made it look like you were dead. I've gotten pretty good at faking deaths, so I just faked yours"
"So he thinks I'm dead?"
"Yup" Douglas answers, and motions for Dylan to go over to him. Dylan walks over to Douglas, and looks at the files he has up
"What's this?" Dylan asks
"This is from a scan I did on your chip earlier after we extracted it" Douglas says, and Dylan's hand instinctively goes up to his neck
"You what? Why?"
"I'm sorry, but it was the only was to make sure that Krane couldn't take control of you again" Douglas explains
"I didn't say I was upset, I was just asking why. I hated my bionics. All they ever did was make me want to pass out everytime I used them."
After that Tasha showed him to the guest room, which she said was now his room, and he stayed in there the rest of the day.
END OF FLASHBACK
I wish I could've helped him a little more that day, but he wouldn't even let anyone come near him except for Mr. Davenport, Tasha, or Douglas. He freaked out whenever anyone else touched him, but there was this one time that night where he had a nightmare, and he let Bree comfort him since she had come upstairs to get something, and she went to check on him.
I look over at the clock again and see it says 5:46 am. I decide to get up since I can't sleep. I go downstairs to see the tv on and someone sitting on the sofa. The stair I step on creaks, and the person turns to face me. I then see that it was Dylan.
"Hey buddy, what are you doing up?" I ask
"I could ask you the same thing"
I shrug "How long have you been up?" I ask him
"A couple hours" he says. I walk over to him, and sit down beside him
We sit there for a minute in silence "So...how you feeling?" I ask him
"Fine I guess"
"What do you mean "I guess"?"
"Adam I'm fine" he lies. I can see faint tear stains on his cheeks
"Why were you crying this time?" I ask in a calm voice, and he just looks at the ground and sniffles
"I-I had a...a bad dream" he says still staring at the floor
"Do I even have to ask what it was about?"
"Probably not" he says then breaks down crying again
I pull him into me "Why did Krane have to do this to me? I would've rather stayed at the orphanage than be adopted by him" he says still crying into my shirt
"Hey look at the bright side" I say, and he looks up at me "If Krane hadn't adopted you, then you wouldn't be here right now, and you wouldn't have a family that really cares about you. I mean the kids there would've been like your family, but it's different than when you really have a family. Ya know what I mean?" I say to him, and he nods
I pull him into another hug which he gratefully returns
Dylan's POV
When I pull away from Adam he keeps his arm around me, and I'm perfectly fine with that.
"Adam?"
"Yeah buddy?"
"I'm scared"
"Of what"
"Going to school tomorrow"
"There's nothing to worry about. You're kinda like Chase in the way that you're kinda nerdy"
"Hey"
Adam smiles "But you're also like Marcus in the way that you're really smart, but also really cool"
I smile
"So I think you'll really like school" Adam says
"Okay Adam"
We sit there for a little bit until I start to feel tired, and I fall asleep.
Adam's POV
I feel Dylan go limp, and look down at him. He did say that he had been up for a while. I guess he must've been tired, because he fell asleep.
I smile and pick him up. I carry him up to his room, and lay him is his bed.
"Goodnight Dylan" I say as I close the door to his room, and head back to my own room.
I'm glad I couldn't sleep. If I had fallen asleep he would probably still be down there by himself crying.
Even if I couldn't help him much the first day we met, at least I could help him this time.
So there's an Adam/Dylan brotherly bonding chapter. See you tomorrow for the next chapter "First Day Of School"
