Welcome to chapter 14! Okay, so this get us all to the scene from chapter 1, so you know this part will end. But you don't know how the story will end. I'll explain more at the end of the chapter.

The 5th street parking lot,
Donald Davenport decided to blame his shivers on the cold, he could not let his nerves get to him. But who would not be nervous in this situation? Donald sat in his parked car, waiting for the time to come to face his mother. Another shiver came, his black leather jacket failing to keep him warm. Finally, he decided it was close enough and exited the vehicle. It may have just been his body craving warmth, but Donald felt drawn towards the church, towards his son.
Donald entered the building and walked up the middle isle between the pews. "Mother," he said curtly when he reached the famed crime lord.
"It's nice to see you too, son," Elena smirked.
"Where is Adam?" Donald demanded, having lost any patience a long time ago.
"He's… around," Elena shrugged.
"If you laid a finger on him-"
"I did no such thing!" Elena huffed. "I just thought we could have a little conversation first, that's all,"
"Little and fast," Donald snapped.
Elena gritted her teeth together. "Donald, I known I've missed a lot. But I really do think things can become better between us-"
"Better?" Donald snorted. "You've kidnapped my son, for the second time know, and you think you can make things peachy between us?"
"Donald, you're smart. And so am I. Together we could-"
"We could what? Take over the world?" Donald retorted.
Elena smiled. "If that's what you want,"
"What if all I want is my son back and for you to rot in jail?" Donald hissed.
Elena sighed and pulled out her handgun. "Well, then, we have a problem,"
Donald retracted as far as he could without stepping off the altar platform.
"Don't move Elena!" A male voice echoed from the other end of the isle.
"What are you all doing here?" Elena scowled, keeping her weapon raised.
Douglas proceeded down the isle, with Rose and Chase in tow.
"Where's Bree? Is she okay?" Donald asked, his voice slightly shaken.
Douglas nodded. "She's fine. We just took out all of Elena's thugs, and now she's looking for Adam,"
Elena smirked. "She won't be able to find him,"
The slight distraction made by his brother's entrance allowed Donald to pull out his own weapon. "Where is he?!" Donald demanded.
"If you kill me, you'll never now," Elena shrugged.
"Elena, end this now," Rose growled, aiming her weapon at her step mother.
Thinking that his wife and brother's talking would be enough of a distraction, Douglas slid closer towards Elena in an attempt to take her out. But due to his worry and frustration for wanting his son back, Douglas miscalculated.
Elena, a slight chuckle in her throat, saw him coming and took her aim in a matter of seconds.
And in a matter of seconds Douglas' eyes widened as he felt the bullet burrow into his side.
"Douglas!" Three voices cried out in unison.
Rose, Elena, and Donald all reestablished their positions, weapons raised to be ready for any of each other's next moves.
Chase stepped backwards, the tension and danger in the air being almost to much for him to handle.
To his left, his adopted father stood with his weapon raised. Alternating his aim between the two females across from him, Donald watched their movements carefully. Directly across from him was his birth mother, her own firearm pointing towards him.
The dark haired woman glanced towards the other brunette for only a fleeting moment before returning her gaze to her son.
Chase bit his lip as the watched the other woman, his own biological mother, standing diagonally across from him. The rather young looking brunette observed the situation carefully, frequently stealing glimpses of the wounded man lying on the floor behind her.
Douglas, unconscious and unresponsive, was no longer participating in the conversation.
Chase could not stop the pressure the guilt was causing in his chest. Only two weeks ago he, Chase, started all of this madness.
And now, shouldn't he be the one to end it?
In a truck forty feet from the church,
"What- What is going to happen next?" Adam asked in a surprisingly fragile voice.
Giselle sighed a small sigh to herself before putting on a smile to calm Adam down. They were sitting in a dark, tall van, both handcuffed. Even though Adam was a bionic superhuman, he was a hostage, and a scared one.
"Elena will hand you over to Donald and you'll get to go home," Giselle assured him.
"But what about you?" Adam asked.
Giselle smiled at him. "I'll be fine to Adam, don't worry,"
Adam let out a small breath of relief. Giselle, on the other hand, held her breath more tightly in her chest. Not Elena nor her guards had bothered to blindfold Adam, they were talking way to many chances. Like the fact that they were currently left unguarded. Giselle knew something was off. She knew Elena would not just let Adam go. Not alive.
That's when Giselle's senses started kicking in. And she started putting small pieces together. Ticking, she heard ticking. And that smell, powder. Not just any powder though.
"Adam, do you think you can get us out of these cuffs?" Giselle asked.
"Um, I could use my heat vision," Adam told her.
Giselle rapidly shook her head. "No, no heat. Can you try using your supper strength?"
"Yeah, I can," Adam mumbled, breaking the cuffs apart in one fowl pull. It did not take long for him to free Giselle as well.
"Adam, we need to get out of here, now," Giselle instructed, inspecting each exit.
"Why? You said they would let us go," Adam questioned, confused by the unseen turn of events.
"Because this thing is rigged to blow. We'll need to slip out the window, as opening the door will set it off," Giselle explained, taking off her boot. She used the wedged heel to break the glass and create an exit.
Giselle got out of the vehicle first, not out of concern for her own life but so that she could helped the injured bionic get out without setting the explosives off.
The moment both his feet met the ground Giselle did everything she could to hurry him away from the van, worried that it would detonate anyway.
Once they were a somewhat decent distance away, they noticed another bionic around the corner. "Adam!" Bree cried out, noticing them as well.
Adam smiled in relief as his sister super sped over to them and embraced her brother.
When Bree finally released her grip on Adam, she took a defensive step back and narrowed her eyes at Giselle. "What is she doing here?"
"She helped me get out," Adam said quickly in her defense.
"Get out of where exactly?" Bree asked cautiously.
The explosion in the background somewhat answered that question.
"From there. Elena rigged it to blow," Giselle explained.
"What? Why would she do that if she had a deal with Mr. Davenport?" Bree asked.
Giselle held her hands up in defeat. "I don't know. I can never understand what goes through that woman's mind,"
Suddenly they all turned their heads towards the church, due to the rather loud gunshot they all heard.
"We need to go help them!" Bree decided, grabbing her brother's arm.
"Bree, wait! Adam is injured, not only his arm and leg, but possible his head. He needs medical attention, the sooner the better. He's already had to deal with it for too long," Giselle told her.
Bree nodded. "You're right. I'll super sped Adam to get help and I'll be back,"
"You go, I'll go scope out the situation," Giselle said.
Bree had no other choice but to agree and trust Giselle. She sped away with her brother, fearful of what she would find when she returned.
Okay, so that was a bit short, but it was packed. You see, I had the story planned to this point, thinking the 15th chapter would be the last. The problem was I couldn't decide which epilogue/ending to use after this chapter, so I am thinking this may go to 20 chapters if I choose to do a more elaborate ending/ addition to the story line. I'm not really sure which way I for sure want to take this, so feel free to leave a little note to me in your review or just PM me. Will Douglas end up with Rose, Giselle, or a third party? What will happen to Giselle? Will someone innocent end up in jail? All these ideas I am currently toying with, it may be a little bit until I update, just so you know. Leave a review anyway to let me know what you thought of this chapter and when I should update. Thanks ~AzulaTano.
