Chapter 11: Back from the future

Donald Davenport was lounging on the couch when Eddy popped onscreen

"Hey there's a message from the President" he said in his regular loud tone.

"Again? What's he so paranoid about?" Davenport got up and went over to the screen "Mr President you just called last week what's wrong?"

Martinez was white as a sheet and was leaning back in a chair almost not by choice "Mr Davenport, those uh bionic rats you made?"

Davenport was taken aback "well they are still people but yes. Why?"

"I need you to uh make some more but leave the programming to my other people just make the shells"

"Sir you don't seem to understand how biotec works. These kids are living"

"Well make the biotech and ship it off for our soldiers"

"Sir..." Something downstairs went off "if you'll excuse me a second" he went down to the lab, Adam, Bree and Chase were practicing their powers. They ended up in a pile on the floor when Davenport got there.

"Oh hey Davenport" Adam said obliviously.

"Guys I'm gonna need to borrow you for a second the time machines acting up and it might need stabilizing"

"Wait the time machine!?" Questioned Chase

"Omg we've never even seen that" Bree said with excitement

"Do you even use that thing?" Asked Adam

"Well no but I sent a rock and when it came back there was a note telling me not to use it" Davenport opened the chamber containing the machine. It was on its side and rocking a little. Davenport opened it up and a person crawled out. "What the? Who are you?"

The teenager looked up at him startled "wait you're Donald Davenport aren't you?"

"Uh yes"

The boy got up and grabbed Davenport's shirt collar "did you give the president biotec yet?!"

"No he's asking for it right now upstairs"

The boy let go "don't do it"

The lab rats were in the doorway looking "uh hey who are you?" Asked Bree

"Oh yeah almost forgot, I'm Phil, I'm from the future" he replied

Adam was disappointed "aw I was hoping you were a homeless guy"

"Wait I know you guys too, you're the original lab rats, Adam, Bree and Chase, you're dead in the future" they looked at him in shock.

"Well we aren't immortal we sorta knew that already" said Chase

"Well I can't tell you anything else for fear that the continuum breaks but I can stop you from giving up the tech. It won't prevent but it might delay what happens in the future, I spent two years here then we went back to find an apocalypse, we caused it by doing something but even I don't know what we did and when we got there the people who are still there murdered my parents and my sister" he put a smile back on "but that hasn't happened for a century at least, I went to a library to find out what happened and then I found an abandoned time machine. These are classic models invented by you, Davenport. You paved the way for time travel as well as so many other things I can't tell you about"

"Well I won't give him the tech what else do you want?"

"I know from a book these guys are gonna attack your house today" said Phil

"Thank god Leo and Tasha are on vacation" Davenport heard an explosion.

"Don, there's some guys here to see you with guns" Eddy called before a man shot the screen. He showed up in the lab. "Yeah we should probably leave they have a helicopter"

"Don't we have a helicopter?" asked Davenport

"Theirs has guns" Eddy pointed out

"Oh yeah, shoulda got that permit, how about those watches?" A table rose with a tub of watches "pick your color, these will show me how you're doing at all times" everyone got one. "Now everyone in the cellar"

He led them into a room that closed behind them, "what do we do now?" Asked Adam.

Davenport smiled smugly. "It's gonna launch us into the air and we'll land in the water" he pressed a button "hope you ate lite".
