Hey there Dravenites, hope you're all having a great day. Sorry I haven't been that active lately, final school year can be a pain in the ass. Please enjoy this fanfic and a happy Passover to all my Jewish readers. One more thing before we jump into the chapter. I haven't finished the series so certain aspects may be AU. Enjoy!
Chase William Davenport stood in front of the crowd of people. Some of them were work colleagues but a lot of them were friends and family.
He looked to his right, next to him were three well dressed men. It was his older brother Adam. As the tallest one, he easily dwarfed everyone around him, he was after all 6'7. His usually vacant stare had been replaced by one of confidence. He confidently looked down at his 5'8 adoptive younger brother/ best friend.
Next to him was a scrawny man who despite his frame actually had super strength; Oliver Doores. In recent years he had put on enough weight to no longer resemble an anorexic little boy. His hair had grown out slightly and almost covered his right eye.
Next to him was a more, stocky man who, per his friend's request had combed his hair; Kaz Stone. He was currently playing COC on his phone, the volume was off of course, as today was a special occasion.
The final man was the youngest of the group. Leonard '' Leo'' Dooley. Thanks to genetics he was no longer tiny, he was now slightly taller than Chase at 5'10.
Today was the day Chase had been waiting for, for years. Today he would marry the love of his life, Bree Davenport. To most people they were brother and sister and they thought they were for a long time. However, that all changed three years ago.
Flashback
Chase and Bree were relaxing on the couch at Centium city. Three years ago they had started dating. To most people it seemed strange and downright creepy but to their family and friends they were just another couple with bionic superhuman abilities.
Chase was busy reading a copy of Neil Gaiman's Fragile Things. Bree had her head on his shoulder and she was busy watching an episode of the Bachelorette.
'' No, Brenda! Keith is just using you to get to Ariana!'' Bree cried out.
Chase shut his book. '' You do know they can't hear you, right?'' he smirked.
'' No, I thought the moving pictures on the screen were sentient'' Bree responded, her sarcasm quite obvious in her voice.
From the entrance to the balcony Oliver and Skylar watched.
'' Wow, three years? I honestly thought it would take longer'' he stated.
'' Really? Their chemistry was so obvious, Blind and deaf people could see that they had a connection.''
'' Not like us though'' Oliver responded.
'' No, we're the power couple of California'' Skylar said high fiving her boyfriend.
Just then, Donald burst into the room. He had in his hand a sleek black briefcase. '' Guys!'' he yelled.
The group jumped up, startled. '' Gah!, don't you knock?'' Bree asked.
'' It's my building, I can do whatever the Hell I want.''
'' What're you doing here Mr. Davenport? Shouldn't you be back in Mission Creek with Tasha and Naomi?'' Oliver asked, walking towards him.
'' Oh, I am. My Davenbot is there, see.'' Donald pulled out a tablet which was connected to the security cameras in his mansion. It showed an exact cybernetic replica of him in a room with a small child.
'' You outsourced spending time with your kid to a robot?'' Bree asked.
'' You try living with something whiny that keeps you up all night.''
'' So, you're obviously here for a reason, what is it? Did the Ring of Five attack again?'' Chase asked, getting up.
'' Thankfully no, they're still in Guantanamo Bay. The UN spared no expense when they locked them up. Anyway, I wanted to show you these.'' Donald opened the briefcase, it contained three vials of red liquid.
'' Is that cherry soda?'' Kaz asked.
'' Yeah Kaz, the tech mogul has soda in his briefcase'' Skylar replied.
'' Hey he might!'' Kaz protested.
'' I don't Kaz, I have something better.''
'' Shares in your company?''
Donald snorted and opened the case, all that was contained in their were two pieces on paper with printed writing on them.
'' Bree, Chase, I know you two are dating. However I've known for a while that you two never believed that Douglas was your father, so the other day I did something I'm not proud of.''
'' Oh God you killed a man. Look, Mr. Davenport we love you but we may have to take you in'' Chase said.
'' No, lady golfer I didn't kill anyone. I took blood samples from you and Bree.''
'' What?! How?!'' the couple asked in unison.
'' I may or may not have used ghost-based tech that Davenport Industries developed to sneak in through the walls, use medical-grade syringes to take your blood while you slept and send it to the bio sector of my company'' Donald said sheepishly.
Chase looked furious, but at the same time he did want to see what his adopted father had found.
Chase exhaled. '' Ok Mr. Davenport, what did you find out?''
Donald handed the couple the papers. '' You tell me.''
The couple read over the sheets, they couldn't believe what they found… Douglas had lied to them. According to the received data, the two of them weren't related at all. According to this, Bree was biologically Douglas' but Chase wasn't. According to this, Chase's father was currently serving a 30-year sentence for the illegal distribution and sale of cocaine to minorities. His mother however, had committed suicide.
Bree looked at her boyfriend. She could tell the look on his face was one of sadness and confusion.
'' You OK?'' she asked.
'' Fine. This'll just take a while to get used to is all. In the meantime'' Chase pressed his lips to Bree's.
'' So you still love me, even though we aren't related?'' she asked.
'' Always have, always will.''
End of flashback
'' You nervous?'' Adam asked.
'' No, not at all actually. I'm more excited than anything.''
'' You should be, you guys were destined to be together, not like me and Janelle, but close'' Leo shrugged.
Chase turned around. '' Are you seriously going to bring this up today?''
'' Guess so'' he shrugged earning a strong punch from Adam.
Chase smiled. He had amazing friends. To pass the time he looked out toward the group of people in front of him. In the front row was his father, a few weeks after Davenport gave the soon to be betrothed his father had been released from prison.
Chase's father, Randall had become a history professor at a local community college specializing in American and international history. He also had a part time job as a preacher at St, Luke's cathedral, where Chase and Bree were being married. Chase had been reluctant to have a relationship with his biological father but Bree had told him he should at least give it a shot.
As it turned out, Randall was a nice guy who spoke about how prison had made him become a deeply faithful Christian and firm believer in Jesus. He had also graduated from Mission Creek college with a major in history and had previously been a teacher before he lost his job due to an economic recession which is why he started to sell coke. After multiple more hangouts Chase, as a gift to his father, had changed his last name to his. He was now Chase Moosehoof.
Chase then looked out at the rest of the crowd, Tasha was sitting right in front of where Bree would stand, she looked quite radiant with her hair tied back.
Chase was starting to feel impatient before the church doors swung open and the pianist and cellist the pair had hired began to play here comes the bride as the flower girl stepped forward. The flower girl of course was Naomi who in her black dress looked adorable. She did however throw a flower at Tasha by accident, causing the audience to laugh.
The first to step forward was Caitlin. She was quite elegant and poised, she had taken to permanently wearing her glasses instead of contacts because according to Adam, she looked cuter with them on.
Next came, Janelle, in recent years she had taken to having her hair straightened purely because she could. Leo gazed at her as she took her place next to Caitlin. Janelle threw her boyfriend a confident smile.
Next came Taylor, recently she had opted to have her bionics removed because of the damage she caused with her Triton app. She was just your average young woman.
Finally came Skylar, who, through relentless begging by Jake and Bree had put on a dress, the only catch was that her dress was the only one that had sleeves. She had recently gotten a tattoo and didn't want anyone to be freaked out by the large bandage on her arm.
Soon Bree came in, with Donald holding her arm. The cellist and pianist began to play A Thousand Years whilst Chase went wide-eyed and his heart skipped a beat. Even underneath the veil she looked incredible. Her dress was made of silk and was a spaghetti strap mermaid style dress. To Chase it was an eternity before she arrived. Soon Donald spoke.
'' I give this woman to this man.'' He then went up onto the podium and began to speak. He had become an ordained minister on and had insisted on officiating. However, he was not alone. Douglas had to become ordained on a similar website called . He however was asked by Bree and Chase to officiate with Donald.
He currently stood next to his brother and smiled. '' You ready?''
Donald nodded. '' Dearly beloved, today we witness the joining of Bree Davenport and Chase Moosehoof in holy matrimony'' he tried not to laugh at Chase's last name.
Douglas took over. '' You two are about to embark on the biggest adventure of your lives. A marriage is work, it's a sign of trust, eternal loyalty and faith.''
Donald took over. '' But above all, it's true love. You two have chosen to get married to show us and these people how much you mean to one another. I was privileged enough to find the love of my life right over there'' Donald pointed to Tasha. '' And you two are fortunate enough to have found each other.''
Douglas then spoke.'' I could always see you two had a connection. One on a level that can't be quantified, not even by your dad's and mine's tech. That level is true love. It cannot be quantified. Math can't explain it. It's a feeling that never goes away when you're with the right person.''
Donald then took over. '' Seeing you two together warms all our hearts. We were all rooting for you, from day 1 we all were.''
'' I believe you two have created your own vows'' Douglas said looking at Chase. Adam handed him a piece of paper.
'' Bree. Ever since we were introduced to the real world, I knew I felt something for you. I'm just sorry that it took me so long to figure out that the feeling was true love. I love how kind you are, I love how beautiful you are, how smart you are, but most of all I love being with you.
I consider every day when I wake up next you a blessing. I can't believe that I'm with someone so amazingly wonderful. Know that my love for you, like every episode of the bachelor that you make we watch-'' this was interrupted by laughter from the ministers, wedding party and audience. ''- Will never end.''
Bree was on the verge of tears. The fact that she had inspired this amazing man was something she would always remember.
Caitlin then handed Bree her piece of paper.
'' Chase. From the moment we started dating, I knew you were the one for me. You're handsome, creepy smart, kind and brave but above all, you make me happy. May the love I have for you sustain you eternally. I will be your strength when you are weak, and you will be mine. I will always love you and forever be devoted to you.
Due to my father being a billionaire, I've grown up with many gifts, however the one I consider to be my greatest is you. I've forever dreamt of my wedding day, however I never knew who it would be until I fell in love with you. Know that we're here, in front of all our family and friends I can firmly say that this day will forever go down in my life as the greatest I have ever had.''
Douglas was on the verge of tears. Donald however was sniffing madly.
'' D-do you Chase Moosehoof take Bree Davenport to be your lawfully wedded wife?'' Donald asked between sobs.
'' Absolutely'' Chase smiled.
'' And do you Bree Davenport, take Chase Moosehoof to be your lawfully wedded husband?'' Douglas asked.
'' Eh why not?'' Bree shrugged earning a laugh from the audience.
'' Good enough for us'' Douglas chuckled. '' By the power vested in us by the totally not scam-based websites that ordained us, the lord himself, the city of Mission Creek and the state of California, we now pronounce you husband and wife'' Douglas and Donald said in unison.
'' You may now kiss your spouse'' they said.
No sooner had they said this, did the pair share the most passionate kiss they would ever have.
They pair soon ran towards the doors whilst being pelted by rice.
Just as it should be.
