Chapter 6: Training

Bree's POV

At least I would be able to spend more time with Jason. This whole thing is a disaster. I love Jason, but what would my life be like if I never met him. No, I wouldn't trade my life for anything.

I walked down to the lab with Jason. We saw Leo throwing plasma balls from his hand and throwing them towards a holographic target.

"Wow. Leo nice aim. I didn't know you could throw." Jason said mocking Leo. "Ha ha. Very funny." Leo said sarcastically. "What abilities do you have?" I asked. "I have super strength, plasma balls, and energy transference. I only have bionics in my right arm also." He answered. "Ok. Let's start with the basics. Throw a plasma ball at my face then attack me with your strength." "Won't you be able to dodge the attacks since you told me what to do?" Leo asked. "That's the thing. I told you what to do, but I don't know where you're gonna attack me from." Jason stated.

Leo threw a plasma ball and Jason just barely blocked it. Leo charged Jason and threw a punch with his right arm. Jason caught his fist and threw Leo back. "You can do better. Now this time use any attack from any angle. Try blinding the opponent first then attack when they're weak." Jason said trying to teach Leo, who appeared to barely be paying attention. "Leo! Pay attention. Since you probably didn't hear what I said before, I'm gonna attack you and you have to defend yourself." Jason stated.

They both got into a fighting stance and Jason formed a blue bo staff in his hand. Leo started to throw plasma balls at Jason. Jason easily blocked the attack and advanced towards Leo. Jason's bo staff disappeared and Jason started throwing his own plasma balls. Leo dodged the first few then Jason told him "Use your energy transference to throw the plasma balls back at me." Leo did just that. I could tell Leo was getting tired. So could Jason I guess, because Jason got out of a fighting stance and said "Maybe we should go again later. You need to rest before you hurt yourself or others." He was right Leo was starting to lose his aim. "I agree. Thanks Jason. You're a good brother." Leo said before leaving.

"So have you been down here a lot?" Jason asked turning his attention towards me. "No actually this is my second time. One question, why do you sleep in a tube standing up." I said. "I sleep in a 'capsule' because it regulates my bionics. Otherwise I would be upstairs sleeping with the rest of you." He responded. "Oh. Couldn't you just make a bed that does the same thing?" I asked. "I mean, we could. Would just cost a lot of money." He answered. "Like how much?" I asked. Wow I ask a lot of questions. "Millions." He responded. I felt my jaw drop. "It costs millions to make a glorified bed?" I asked sarcastically. "Yeah. It's a lot of expensive technology. My dad and I will probably have to make him a capsule." He stated. "At least you won't sleep alone down here anymore." I said trying to cheer him up. "Yeah, I guess. Do you wanna go upstairs for a while in my 'room' and just hang out?" He asked. "Yeah. I'd like that." I said grabbing his hand and walking upstairs.

"Why do you have a room if you sleep down in the lab?" I asked as we sat on the bed. "For guests. I have to act the part don't I?" He asked. "I guess." I responded moving closer to him.
