It was their first winter break spent back at the lab, the small room that was once three teenagers' entire world. Adam and Leo had returned back from the island and Bree and Chase had just returned back from their Elite Force mission. With the mission being a success and having prevented mass destruction, along with Leo and Adam successfully teaching an entire semester, Mr. Davenport had decided that the bionic teens had all earned a break so he called them all home to spend Christmas together and with their new little sister. After having been home for three days the lab had already left the four teens bored, so when Tasha and Mr. Davenport decided to take Naomi to the park, Adam, Leo, Bree and Chase decided to have a little fun.
"Bet you can't catch this one!" shouted Adam hurling a bowling ball above Leo's head, narrowly missing Bree and Chase as it flew past Davenport's cyberdesk, and over Leo's head before crashing into the wall.
"Hey, dumb and dumber, watch it" snapped Bree, filing her nails, her feet up on the desk.
"Chill out speedy. Yo, Chase, crank up the tunes!" called Leo jogging over to the pair.
"Leo, I'm not an MP3 player!" whined Chase, with mock frustration before revealing the USB drive embedded in his finger and plugging it into the monitor.
"All right, let's see what we've got on here. Let's see, beach photos, Karaoke night, ah….calendar photoshoot!" cried Leo, covering his eyes, and slamming his arm on the desk. The force of his bionic arm colliding with the desk caused a small dent in the frame, but surprisingly something small inside the desk rattled.
"Wait, what was that?" questioned Bree, causing Adam to walk over to see what his siblings were so interested in.
"Leo, what did you break this time?" groaned Chase, running his hand through his hair.
"No clue...but let's find out," smirked Leo bending down to see what came loose. "Hey guys, there's a secret compartment in here, and there's something inside!" cried Leo as he removed a small flashdrive from the now mangled compartment.
"Finally, something interesting!" cried Adam, barely able to contain his excitement.
"Wonder what's on it?" muttered Chase, inspecting the small flashdrive.
"Let's find out!" said Leo, snatching the flashdrive back from Chase and plugging it into the monitor.
"Leo wait, we don't know what's on it! What if it's a virus?" cried Chase, his warnings falling on deaf ears as the monitor goes dark before a strange logo appears on the screen.
"Like I said, virus," chimed Chase, not even bother to hide the smugness in his voice.
"Hello Donald Davenport, please enter the access code," said the computer, startling the teens.
"Chase, think you can get in?" asked Bree, knowing that Chase easily could if he put his mind to it.
"Oh course I can!" scoffed Chase, immediately setting to the task. Moments later the monitor dinged again.
"Acess Granted,".
"Whoa, how'd you get in so fast?" asked Leo, genuinely shocked by his stepbrother's intelligence.
"It was easy, I didn't even need to use my hacking skills, the code was 'SmartestManAlive'," chuckled Chase as his siblings all rolled their eyes.
"Of course it was," muttered Bree.
Files began to fill the screen, before all closing, revealing only a single folder titled "Project Letterman". The siblings all look at each other, concerned what Davenport was hiding, but after a brief pause, they click on the file. Inside are several files and blueprints for their original bionic chips for "Subjects A, B, and C". Beside these files sits more folders, each titled "Subject A, Subject B, and Subject C" respectively, dated from 10 years ago.
"They're about us!" gasps Bree.
"Guys...look…" whispers Leo, pointing an accusing finger at the screen.
The teens' expressions turn from shock to horror, sitting beside their three folders rests a fourth.
