There was something breathtaking in the middle of the ocean. The shimmering, foamy waves to the rich desirable color. Leo was sick of it.
Being on a metal island surrounded by the stuff made you numb to it, or even loath it. Perhaps if the island were real it wouldn't be so bad. He never thought he'd miss nature so much. At least there he didn't feel like he was in a prison. Cold metal walls, strict rule enforcement, and constant supervision. Even more so after one of his visits out or "kidnappings" involving Marcus or his family.
Though under supervision, no one was talking to him barring Spike and Chase. Big D was spending a lot of time looking over his bionics, but was busy with everything else. He couldn't hang out like they used to. And his mom felt uncomfortable on the bionic island. Sure she would come but so many kids tried to warm up to her. Seeing her as a possible mom figure. Needless to say, she didn't come often, and she was always ready for Leo when he needed her. If he ever got to leave. With his bionics reacting differently to everyone else's, he was pretty much grounded to the island for everyone's safety.
He understood though, he didn't think he could make it to the pod anyway. His legs were seizing in the worst cramp he had the misfortune of feeling. Stuck in a chair in his room, he waited for the pain to cease so he could continue with his day. He didn't want his butt to fall asleep along with his legs. So far, his powers seemed nonexistent. Granted he was stronger. As well as throw fireballs, exchange energy from one thing to another. And he could scream loud enough to make ears bleed. And he could record blue prints just by looking at an item.
Because of this, he was stuck in his room. Not only were his bionics spreading, not only was he raised in typical american suburbia, not only did his mom happen to marry the man who would end up revolutionizing the world with unintended lifestyle choices, not only did he have to keep his biological father's secrets, but he had to add the fact that his chip didn't match Adam, Bree, or Chase.
Not mind, nor body or stamina. So what was he? Every other bionic fell into at least one of the categories. He just didn't get it.
Sometime during his contemplation, the cramps disappeared. If he had thought about where they had been, he would have realized something very important. As it was he walked out of his room feeling rather energetic and tired. There was a faint niggling feeling in the back of his head. He ignored it though in favor of looking for company. He needed someone to interact with.
He had settled on the first person he ran into, an overly confident Spin and chummy Bob. Spin may be a brat, but Leo couldn't bring himself to fully hate the kid. Even with lies and deceit made on his girlfriend. He couldn't quite hate him, and more so became an over tolerant older brother, willing to listen to his self proclamations of how cool he was. This was probably because both Spin and Bob didn't really fear Leo like others did.
Bob seemed to like just about everyone. Kind of like his siblings on their first day of school. Leo felt a need to shelter his demeanor similar to how he felt when his siblings first met Marcus. When he was evil. Spin on the other hand remined Leo of a puppy. One that didn't listen that everyone would coo over. Actually, with the energy and attitude, Leo thought about getting him a leash. Maybe a pink one... It would so lovely with those green stripes.
He refocused his attention from the leash to the child in front of him. He remembered him saying he learned a new trick. And apparently Bob had dropped his banana peel. When was he eating a banana? It didn't matter. Spin was on the ground trying not to cry, his leg was bent slightly halfway down his calf. A break from a bad Tasmanian devil spin turned fall. Leo felt a surge in his body, his mind seemed to reel back into his head. He couldn't seem to control his body. Nor could he see what was going on.
Sweat would've appeared on his face had he been outside of his mind. He was nervous, yet oddly calm. He drifted for an unknown amount of time. His eyes closed within his mind letting a rest come that he hadn't felt ever.
He was surprised then, when he was being shaken by a concerned Spike. How could he tell it was Spike? He didn't look as calm as a concerned Chase did. Glancing around the room he saw Bree and Adam, both dumb struck. Big D gave him a once over.
"You with us Leo?"
"Of course... Why wouldn't I be?"
"Leo... Come with me for a moment."
"Mr. Davenport!" Spike called out.
"No. You three," he said pointing at Leo's siblings, "Stay here. I need to talk with him alone."
Fear settled in Leo's stomach.
"What's going on?" He squeaked. He looked over at his siblings with wide eyes.
"Guys?"
"Come with me Leo."
"Big D this isn't funny. What's going on?"
"Leo, it's nothing bad per say."
"Then why the secrets?!"
"You have a commando app!" Spike broke in. The room fell silent, "You weren't... You. You were different. We thought we lost you to the app."
Leo listened to Spike's words. Though he didn't know if the we was for all his step family, or him and Chase. The app. He thought that only Chase had a chip with one built in.
"You acted funny," Adam said in a serious tone, "and not in the fun way either."
"What did I do?" Leo asked in a whisper.
"Nothing bad Leo-"
"What did I do?!" He yelled. He wouldn't deny he was scared.
"You reset Spin's bone."
"I did what?"
"Your app restrained him and reset his bone. Then proceeded to give him a check up."
Leo furrowed his brows in confusion. That... Didn't sound like a commando app to him.
"Huh?"
"You were acting like a doctor."
"So, I have a doctor in me... Or is the doctor me? I am the Doctor?"
"I don't think so. He kept telling me to calm his Raisin."
Everyone turned to stare at Adam with slight irritation.
"What? He did."
"Leo, I need to put a patch on your chip so the Doctor-"
"Raisin!"
"-doesn't pop out sporadically every time someone gets a paper cut."
"Do I have to? I mean, it's not like the Doctor-"
"Raisin!"
"-is a bad thing. Guy. Man this is confusing. How do you deal with it Spike?"
"Practice. Annoying the hell out of each other," he began, "And communicating," Chase finished.
"Oh wow that was freaky," Adam laughed. Bree stared at Chase in confusion.
"Are you alright Chase?" Bree questioned.
"Perfectly fine. Never been better," he said glancing over Leo. Leo could tell he was scanning him. A grin broke out onto his face, "And I think I know why the Doctor-"
"Raisin! I'm telling you guys his name is Raisin."
"You know I wait for you to finish talking before I start again right?"
"You keep ignoring his name."
Chase glared at Adam before returning his attention to Leo.
"Anyway, congrats. You are now fully bionic."
Merp a derp-derp. What the heck did I just do?
