Staring at Chase, all my insecurity and nervousness came flooding back. My feet felt like they were trying to force me to hide, but I wouldn't let them. Fear made me stand my ground. They hadn't noticed me yet so I thought this would be a great time to hide. I jumped to the side and hide behind the wall. Realizing I can control my fear, I used this power to carefully put my ear up the side and listen to them.

"Look, would it really be that bad if she knew? I think we can trust her!" Chase said.

Was he talking about me?

"But we've only known her for a day, how do we know for sure?" Bree proclaimed.

Yeah, they were talking about me.

"I think Bobbi's nice." Adam interrupted.

That was sweet of him to say.

"I agree, but that doesn't necessarily mean she can keep a secret." Bree commented.

I could keep a secret. I thought I was pretty good at doing that.

"Plus it's like the biggest secret ever!" Leo added.

Okay, now I was really curious.

"Still, maybe we should get to know her better first." Bree decided.

No, no tell me now!

"Fine but what am I going to tell her now?" Chase wondered.

"I don't know, um, here show us your force field so we can describe what it looks like." Bree said.

Force field? I watched as Chase jumped into position. He motioned with his hands and all of a sudden an electric blue dome appeared around him. It was the same blue dome from the gym. I couldn't hide the shock of this. I let out an insanely large gasp. Apparently it was loud enough for Adam, Bree, Chase, and Leo to hear because a few seconds later they had all run in and were now staring at me in shock.

"What are you doing down here?" Bree asked in a tone that made her sound worried and annoyed.

"I…I…" I stuttered. "You!" I pointed at Chase. "He…and the force field…" That was real smooth. Be a babbling idiot.

"Calm down." Adam said.

"It's not what it looks like!" Chase cried.

I was in so much shock and for some reason I felt angry. Why was I angry? Because Chase didn't confront me with this? That sounded pathetic. I could only stare at him in amazement.

"What…how did you do that?" I asked, regaining my ability to make words into a real sentence.

"It was…" His voice trailed off while he tried to think of an explanation.

"An illusion!" Leo shouted, making us jump.

"I didn't now Chase's force field was just an illusion," Adam exclaimed. "Wait, what an illusion?" He half whispered to Bree.

"That wasn't an illusion," I explained. "I can tell that much. But how did...it seemed as if it came off you." I looked straight at Chase. My curiosity and shock over took my huge crush on him. I found myself not being afraid to talk to him.

He stared back at me, into my eyes for a second then turned to Bree. "Can I please tell her?" He pleaded.

"Chase!" She warned, looking from him to me and back to him.

"Come on, she knows about this. She saw it! We owe her that much."

"Yeah, I agree." Leo piped up.

"Me too!" Adam joined in.

Bree had concern cross her face. She clearly didn't think it was a good idea, but she slowly nodded. "Fine, but if Davenport asks, it was your idea!"

"Deal," Chase agreed. "Bobbi, follow me."

Chase lead us into the next room where had been just a few minutes ago. The room was amazing! It looked like an unground laboratory! The walls were lined with future looking type monitors and other control panels and buttons. On one wall there were strange looking glass tubes. In the middle of the room was a counter that Leo had hopped up on. I leaned against it and waited anxiously as Chase opened his mouth to speak.

"Bobbi, what you witnessed was a force field," He began. "It has the power to block objects and destroy objects. And yes, I did produce it from my hands."

"How is that possible?" I wondered.

"Adam, Bree, and I are…special. We aren't like you and Leo. In some ways we are, but it others…we're not. See we were used as an experiment for Mr. Davenport when we were babies."

"By the way, he isn't really our uncle." Bree put in.

"Anyway," Chase continued, giving her an annoyed look for interrupting him. "We each have a chip implanted in our necks. This chip gives us bionic powers."

"Cool," I muttered. I was having a hard time believing this.

"Each of us has a unique power. I have super intelligence, a force field, and super senses. Bree has super speed and the ability to jump really high. And Adam has super strength and the ability to shoot lasers. We'd been living down here practically our entire lives and training on how to us our powers and how to use them for missions."

"Missions?"

"Like if the public was in danger, we'd be there to protect them."

"Isn't that what the police are for?"

"Well, we help with special types of problems if you know what I mean," He exclaimed, flashing his million dollar smile at me. In my head the teen girl inside me screamed, but on the outside I just grinned back at him. "Anyway, we had been in the outside world for the first time about five months ago when Leo and his mom moved in. We started going to school and trying to live normal lives as teenagers as well as living our bionic lives down here while going on missions and training." He finished.

"So now you know," Bree said. "But listen, you can't tell anyone. Nobody at all! Not even if you're being tortured! Don't even tell Mr. Davenport you know!"

"I won't, I promise! You can trust me." I gave Bree a friendly smile. "But I want to see your super speed!"

I wanted to see it because I wanted to make sure they weren't lying. Plus it would look so cool!

"Fine, but just this once!" With that she sped around the counter at least ten times. I felt dizzy just watching! She stopped in front of me with her hand on her hips and a large, satisfied smile across her face.

"That was sweet!" I cried. So now I knew it was definitely true. "Now Adam, use your super strength!"

"Okay," He said, cheerfully. He grabbed Leo and held him bridle style.

"Wait-" Is all Leo could say before Adam threw him up high into the air. Leo went as high as the twenty foot ceiling and fell back down, landing in Adam's arms. Adam set him back on the counter. Leo looked totally freaked out.

"This is so cool! I have bionic friends!" I screamed with joy to no one in particular.

"What!" A familiar voice cried from the doorway. We all turned heads to see none over than Mr. Davenport standing there with a frightened and angry expression stuck in his face.
