Hey everybody! I'm back! I told you that things aren't as they seem. You'll see what I mean in the beginning of this chapter. And for those of you who wanted to see a more protective Adam, there's lots of him in this chapter. Enjoy! (Also: sorry this chapter's so short! The next one will be much longer.)
* * * Adam's POV * * *
"What?" I asked. Was my brother really remembering?
"I hate it when you toss me around," Chase continued. "And I do tell you what to do. You don't always listen though."
"Oh, Chase, you're back!" Bree exclaimed. She flung herself at our younger brother and wrapped her arms around his neck. I saw Chase stiffen a little.
"Um, Adam?" he said. "Who is this?"
Bree pulled back and gaped at Chase. "What are you talking about?" she practically yelled.
"That's Bree," I said. "You still don't remember her?"
Chase shook his head.
"Wait, so you remember her and not him?" Leo asked, pointing to each of us in turn. "Do you remember me?"
"The only person in this room that I know is Adam," Chase said.
"Oh, come on!" Bree said. "How does that even make any sense?" Chase shrunk back a little.
"Bree, stop, I think you're scaring him," I said quietly.
"But . . . but he's . . ." she spluttered. Then she frowned and said, "Fine."
"I'm sorry, am I supposed to know you?" Chase asked.
"I'm Bree," my sister explained in an exasperated voice. "I'm your sister."
"And Adam's sister too?"
"Last I checked."
"And who are you?" Chase asked, pointing at Leo.
"I'm getting a sense of déjà vu," Leo muttered.
"What?"
"Nothing. I'm Leo. I'm your step-brother."
"Do you remember Mr. Davenport?" I asked.
Chase shook his head. "I only know you, Adam," he said.
"How do his memories even make sense if he only remembers you?" Bree whispered to me. I just shrugged.
"Guys!" Leo hissed to me and Bree. "Why don't we find something to jog his memory? You know, like a picture or something?"
"That might work!" Bree exclaimed. "Great idea, Leo!"
Leo puffed his chest out with pride. "I know," he said haughtily.
"Chase!" I called to my younger brother. "We'll all be right back. Just stay down here and try not to cause any trouble." My brother nodded and took a seat at the cyberdesk. The rest of us headed upstairs to find something sufficient enough to jog Chase's memory.
I hurried back into the lab with one of Tasha's scrapbooks in my hand. "Chase!" I yelled.
Chase lifted his head and looked at me. "Adam!" he exclaimed with a grin. "I have something to –"
"Never mind that," I said, cutting him off. "Check this out. This book is filled with all sorts of pictures of things we've done. See, here's us after our first mission! We saved the town of Welkerville!"
"That's great, Adam, and I –"
"Look, this is when we went ice-skating! You figured it out really quickly and kept showing off. Then we played bionic brother toss on the ice!"
"Adam, you don't have to –"
"Ooh, this is when you and Leo won the robot throwdown! You guys built an awesome robot and totally crushed Mr. Davenport!"
"ADAM!" Chase shouted. He coughed a couple times. I looked up from the scrapbook and stared at him. "I know!" Chase said with a chuckle. "I remember."
"You remember?"
"Yeah," he said. "The glitch ended just a few minutes ago. My memories and intelligence are back. I know Bree and Leo and Mr. Davenport and Tasha and you. I remember everything."
"Chase, that's great!" I exclaimed.
"I was thinking," Chase said with a mischievous grin, "you're the only one who knows. Bree doesn't. This is the perfect opportunity for a prank!"
"Ooh, what did you have in mind?" I asked excitedly.
"Bree's upstairs on a video-call with Owen," Chase explained.
"How do you know that?"
Chase tapped his ear. "Super-senses," he reminded me. "I can hear her talking to him."
"Oh, right. So what were you thinking?"
Chase coughed a couple of times before explaining, "Time for a little brotherly embarrassment!"
Oh, what do you think Adam and Chase are gonna do to Bree? And yeah, he's back now! That didn't last too long. I wanted to move on.
Shout out to AllAmericanSlurp for three things! A) Helping me decide that Adam would the one Chase remembered. I couldn't decide which character to do and she really helped me on that. B) Letting me use one of her stories as a memory! The memory of them going ice-skating came from her story (a one-shot) called "Bionic Ice Skating." If you haven't read that yet then be sure to go check it out! It's really great! C) Just being awesome! :P
So guys, I was trying to decide if I should make a sequel to "I'm a Weapon." Would you guys like that? You can tell me two ways: 1) Review on the author's note at the end of "I'm a Weapon." 2) Take the poll on my profile. Thanks guys! And don't forget to review this story too!
