Leo Corp: XD I'm hoping you reached up to this chapter, bud. LOL. 'I Need a Doctor' is a great song, so of course I'd place it for the first chapter, haha.
Okay, now onto this chapter! There is a reference at the end, I hope you catch it. Excuse any errors/mistakes.
Bree was in a total state of shock. What she had seen was not normal. There were more people like her. She knew superheroes were fictional and she knew quite a lot from Leo always talking about it.
Was this what Kaz and Oliver were hiding. If they lied about this place it meant two things, super dangerous or super helpful. She can't reveal this right away, no one will believe her.
Bree sigh as she exit the closet. "They couldn't have made a better entrance?"
Since she was way too focused with her own thoughts, Sebastian scared her just by greeting her. "Hey, Bree! Your brother was wondering where you were."
Bree quickly came up with a lie. "I went to the bathroom."
Sebastian believes her. From Bree's perspective, he was naïve like the rest of the soldiers. She knew they lost a sister and it hurt them the most. Bree did her best to change the subject, but he would always go back to it.
"You're the only girl in the family? Besides your mom, of course."
Bree didn't know where he was going with this. "Yeah, I do wish for a sister. Who am I kidding, that won't happen!"
"Maybe when we find S-1, she could be your sister." He says while laughing.
Bree smiles, "That's sweet. See, why can't there be more happy people like you in the world."
"Yes, I won't give up on her." Sebastian says back. "Oh! Douglas needs to talk to you about something."
She looked surprised, it was very rare that he needed to talk to her. Douglas was more interested in her brothers, but she never minded. "Of what?"
"I wish I knew, he didn't say."
Bree nods at his response. She walks to the waiting room with Sebastian right behind her. She saw Douglas in the same spot, he didn't look worried to go back to prison.
"There you are!" Douglas exclaimed as he stood up. He took her arm and pulled her aside from the group.
"I already told Leo, but I thought it'd be important to tell you." Douglas looks at the two soldiers, Leo had them distracted. "We can't keep them in the house forever. I was thinking of having them moved back to where they came from."
"That's the thing," Bree said. "We can't because we don't know where they live. The only thing they remember is living in a warehouse."
"They might remember where it is," Douglas said.
Bree shrugged at her father. It sounded like a great idea since the government wouldn't think of looking for them there. "What if it triggers memories?"
"It won't. The triton app in their chips is too advance, they'll only remember basic necessities."
"What will Mr. Davenport say?"
"We can't let him know," Douglas says.
Bree crosses her arms, "I feel bad for hiding this from him."
"I know, but he's still recovering . . . Look this will be between us."
Bree nods showing understandment. It was almost how it was three years ago, hiding to prove non existence. "I need to see."
"Go ahead," Douglas pats her back and moves back to the boys. Bree walks over to the door and slowly opens it. Donald was sitting up on the bed while Tasha sat on a bench right next to him.
"Hey Tasha, hey Mr. Davenport." Bree shuts the door behind her and walks beside Tasha.
"Hey honey," Tasha says. Donald waves at his daughter.
Tasha gets up from the stool to let Bree sit there. Bree sits down and looks at her father. "I'm so glad you are okay. When will you be coming back home?"
"Actually I should be out today, we're just waiting for the results."
Tasha chuckles, "And you know your father, he wants to get the most out of the bill."
"Nothing is cheap nowadays," Donald says.
Bree rolls her eyes, of course. He was rich, but didn't like to waste anything even though he's wasted money on useless things which made no sense to her. "Tell me about it."
Bree barely talked to Donald. A knock on the door interrupted the conversation.
"Bree," Zachery whispered. He looked at Tasha and Davenport. "Oh . . . hello Bree's parents. Feel better Bree's dad."
He quickly closed the door before it became much weirder.
Donald looked at Bree with a confused look. "Who was that?"
Bree didn't say anything. It was obvious who the young teen was.
"Was that one of the soldiers!?"
Tasha didn't say anything, but Bree shuts her eyes and opens her mouth. "Maybe . . . "
Bree didn't want to give an explanation and quickly bolted out the door. Douglas looked at Bree with a confused look. "What happened?"
Bree looks straight ahead at Zachery. She ignored Douglas and walked over the soldier. "What is your problem?"
"What happened?" Leo asked.
Bree looks around before answering, "Davenport knows the soldiers are here. We need them under the radar."
"Hey," Zachery says. "We did nothing wrong. If we did, then we're sorry."
"The government is trying to lock you up! I don't know what my father will do when he finds out that most of you are at the house." Bree tried to maintain calm, but it was so aggravating.
Before Zachery could answer Sebastian cuts in. "She's right. Last time was a close call, we don't need another risk."
Leo suggests, "Maybe we should go."
Zachery nods and places his hand on Leo's shoulder. Sebastian extends his hand out to Bree. "Are you coming?"
"No," Bree crosses her arms over her chest. "I'm staying here for a little longer."
Sebastian turns around because he heard his brother geo-leap away. He then turns back to Bree. "What time do you want me to come back?"
"No it's fine," Bree places her hand on the bridge of her nose. "I can call one of brothers."
"Actually," Sebastian pulled out his phone. He had found it out in the street when he 'accidentally' scared a person out in the street. "Type my number in."
Bree pulled out her phone, typed in Sebastian's number, and saved his information. "It's saved. One question, where did you find that phone?"
"I . . . took it?" Sebastian said.
Bree sighed, "That's stealing. It's too late now."
"Well the man dropped it on the street so . . . " Sebastian shrugged and geo-leaped away.
Bree walked over to Douglas. He was on his phone talking to someone. Bree didn't know who it was, but the voice was feminine. She looked down at her phone to see what crazy things people were posting. After all, she needed a distraction.
Seryna was in the rec room with Skylar and the boys. Kaz and Oliver had five tests tubes; One was the solution or none were it. She needed to know which one it had to be, that way she could destroy it before testing.
Skylar stood beside the boys with a hopeful expression, filled with joy. "Seryna, look at this. Kaz and Oliver found some solutions to my problem!"
"So that's what that is." Seryna grinned widely, then asked the boys two questions. "How will you test them? Can it be used on other superheroes?"
Oliver had placed the first test tube in the machine. He felt uncomfortable with Seryna around. She felt fake and too good of a friend.
Kaz gave a cocky smile then said, "Meet hologram Skylar. She will be the guinea pig."
"Plus if it works, every hero known to have lost their powers will be able to get them back." Oliver adds.
The first serum was in the machine. Oliver read the options in the machine. It wasn't difficult to use since Horace taught them how. Oliver had his fingers crossed for the chance it would work.
Seryna looked around, then stopped at Skylar. "Where's Experion?"
"I think he went somewhere outside."
Seryna was thinking where he could have gone. There was nothing important at the time. She looked at the hologram, it was missing an arm. Skylar was terrified when she saw herself missing a limb.
"We know it's not this one." Kaz took it out and immediately disposed of it.
Oliver inserted another one. There were no results. "This one did nothing."
"Third time's a charm," Kaz says. Kaz takes one of the solutions. Kaz was right about the third one. "It works!"
"We still need to test the rest of them," Oliver says.
Skylar joined in the conversation. "Kaz, maybe Oliver is right. The rest are crucial."
"Or we can save time and use it now." Kaz was stubborn on using the formula.
Seryna walks by their direction and switches the cure with one of the harmless ones. She would give it to Experion so he could get rid of it. The boys would then inject the wrong one, making it a total failure.
None of them noticed the switch since they were busy arguing on what to do first. This gave Seryna time to find Experion, that's if he came back.
She walks out of the Rec room and walks down the hall to the main room. She sees Experion coming out of the elevator. Experion sees her and walks towards the soldier. Seryna pulls him into the hallway, so no one would hear their conversation.
"Where were you?" She whispers.
"Sorry I wasn't here. I would've called, but a kid stole my phone. It was one those bionic soldiers." Experion looked very mad. "What a freak."
Seryna gives him an annoyed look, "Bionic soldier? Look, forget your phone! I found the cure for returning superpowers, the problem is I can't insert the contamination serum because it could mess with the formula."
"You don't have to," Experion says. "All you have to do is give them the two formulas in the same tube with a clear divider inside; That way it won't be contaminated."
Experion takes out a plastic divider and hands it to Seryna. She takes it and tilts the tube at angle to make sure all of it went to one side. After that tedious process, she places the superpower contamination serum on the other side.
"It should be good to go. The boys are going to replicate the formula for other heroes. They'll be helping us without even knowing." Seryna said.
"Hurry up and take that back," Experion says. "We need to go back to the surface to fix your powers."
"Ah, that's right. I totally forgot." Seryna says before leaving. It was a quick trip since Kaz, Oliver, and Skylar were still arguing. She placed the serum on the machine and convinced Oliver and Skylar, Kaz was right.
"You all are still arguing? Give it a break. I say Kaz is right. The sooner the better, we don't know what the future holds."
Kaz says, "Well except Timeline, but he's not here."
Oliver shrugs and listens to Seryna, maybe she was right. "Fine. If you two say so."
Oliver takes the serum and places a needle over it. He looks for a wipe to clean the area around Skylar's left arm. Skylar takes off her jacket and moves her hair out of the way. Once the needle goes into her skin, Skylar sighs in relief. She knows there is a possibility for the formula to kick in, but she'll finally be the hero she once was.
Kaz, Oliver and Seryna smile. Kaz and Oliver we're glad they had found a cure; Oliver made sure he wrote down the process of how to make it.
Notes for formula:
*Sample of their DNA. (Hair, nail, spit (gross but works best), blood (also works the best), etc.)
*Purple tube labeled Salus (2 ml)
*Blue tube labeled Dynam (1 ml)
*Green tube labeled Tachy (1.5 ml)
Add Salus, then mix with Tachy. After both are mixed add the DNA sample, then mix. Finally mix Dynam with the rest.
Kaz was happy since Skylar would stop mourning about losing her powers, there were some close calls where she placed herself in danger because of it.
Seryna gave a genuine smile, but her true feeling was very narcissistic. They didn't know the plan had begun, it would be their fault for having trust. Seryna looked at Skylar, "How do you feel?"
"I'm very hyped! I can't believe this is going to happen!" Skylar exclaimed.
"The effects might take awhile, but it's totally worth the wait." Oliver said.
"I have to go," Seryna says. "Good luck, Skylar. Bye guys."
Seryna runs out the room and sees Experion waiting by the elevator. When he sees Seryna he's relieved, because she would need her powers as soon as possible. He was in the same outfit as before; He looked like a civilian.
"Why do we need to go up, can't they fix them here?" Seryna asked.
Experion shakes his head, "Not from what I've seen. I know a person who knows about this stuff."
"Where have you meet this person? What do they know?" Seryna asks.
"Don't worry, she knows what she's doing. In fact, she has a child about your age." Experion says. The more information he said, the more impatient she became.
"I hope you know what you're doing," Seryna says.
Experion chuckles, "Don't worry, I do."
See, I told you there would be reference! :D
