Welcome people of earth! And any martians out there! Here is chapter 10, surprisingly quick, I know.
Disclaimer: I do not own Lab Rats.
Also, I don't own the movie, The Orphan, either. And the description in the story of what happens isn't really true, but if you like horror movies, it might be interesting to check out, as I love that movie. But it is messed up.
Disclaimer Continued: I do not own Lab Rats or The Orphan.
At the Mission Creek Mall's Movie Theater,
"So, which movie do you want to see?" Adam asked, standing a few feet away from the line of the sales counter.
"Well, there appear to only be three choices: a romantic comedy, a children's animated movie- oh and that new movie!" Kate exclaimed. "The Orphan!"
Adam raised an eyebrow. "Wait, you want to see that one? But it's a horror movie,"
"And?" Kate shrugged. "It looks good,"
"And by good to mean bloody, gory, and disturbing?" Adam huffed.
"If you would rather we watch one of the other movies, we can. If you're scared-"
"I'm not scared!" Adam defended.
"Okay then, if you don't like those movies then we can watch something else," Kate corrected herself.
"No, no," Adam insisted. "If you want to see The Orphan, we can. I think it looks like a good movie too,"
"Really?" Kate asked.
Adam nodded, stepping up to the counter and buying their tickets.
"Adam, are you sure you want to see this movie?" Kate asked.
"Yes, I do okay!" Adam nearly snapped.
Kate stepped back, a bit surprised.
"Oh, Kate, I'm sorry-"
Kate put a hand on Adam's arm. "It's okay, why don't we got get some popcorn and other snacks?" she suggested.
Adam grinned, both relieved that she wasn't mad and happy that they were getting food. "Yeah, let's go,"
At the snack bar, random civilians stared at the couple in shock, disgust, and confusion. Adam and Kate's choices of snacks were far from ordinary. There large bucket of popcorn had hot sauce drizzled on it, hot butter sauce was added to their ice cream cones, and they had slushies that were a mix of all seven flavors.
"Come on Adam, we need to grab out seats," Kate said, looking at her watch. With him on her tail, they rushed into the theater and picked a prime par of seats in the middle of the theater.
At first, everything went seemingly well. They finished off their snacks before the previews were over, and Adam had conveniently set the armrest in between them up.
It was a horror movie, he had to take this opportunity.
As the movie started, Adam had to admit that he was disturbed already by the backstory. Not a single death or injury, but still his stomach tightened. But every time he thought about running out of the theater, he just looked at Kate and calmed himself down. With a fake yawn, Adam stretched his arm out and set it against the back of Kate's chair.
Kate however, was oblivious to his hint as she kept her eyes glued intently to the screen. As messed up as it was, she was enjoying the movie. Kate did notice, however, how Adam jumped when the poor foil character was beheaded. Kate put a comforting hand on his leg and cuddled up against his side.
Adam smiled, knowing he could make it through this messed up movie as long as he had here at his side.
The two handled the next fifth teen minutes well on their own, but it got to the point that even Kate was a bit jumpy. One more surprise and- "Ah!" Kate screamed. And it was not just any scream, but a sonic scream. Adam gripped onto Kate, holding her tightly.
The other viewers turned and glared at Kate.
"Sorry, a glitch," Kate apologized sheepishly.
"Just ignore them," Adam whispered. Kate nodded, letting them both go back to watching the movie.
No less than five minutes later, the next gruesome death frightened them. Adam, poor Adam, had some much adrenaline in his system that the shock caused him to glitch as well.
This glitch was a bit more damaging, as his heat vision has went straight to the screen, burning two blistering holes onto the sheet. The film stopped rolling, and the entire theater turned to face them.
Long story short, Adam and Kate both ended up banned from the theater, so the two ended up spending the rest of their date wondering around the mall.
"Chase, look! There they are!" Bree exclaimed, pointing at the couple from her hiding place.
Chase rolled his eyes. "We are, like 40 feet away and wearing cyber masks, no need to whisper,"
Bree smacked her brother's arm. "Chase, you need to be taking this seriously,"
"Why? Why do you even care about this so much?" Chase asked.
"Because, I want to monitor this and make sure it doesn't go south," Bree replied.
"Huh?"
"I don't want Adam to do something stupid and hurt Kate and or ruin his chances of keeping a girlfriend," Bree explained, taking out her cell phone.
"What are you doing?" Chase asked.
"Getting evidence," Bree replied simply, snapping a few shots of Adam and Kate together.
"Maybe we should just leave this alone," Chase suggested.
"Why?" Bree whined.
"Because if we get to involved, we could mess things up for Adam," Chase said.
Bree sighed. "You might be on to something,"
"Why don't we go back to the island," Chase suggested. "We don't want to crush Adam's heart by screwing up his love life,"
"Okay, for now, I'll drop it. But if he does anything-"
"We will find out about it, for sure," Chase said, standing up.
Bree, defeated, grabbed her brother's arm and super sped out of the mall.
Back at the academy,
"There, it's done," Donald said solemnly.
Taylor did her best to keep her breath at a normal pace, nerves running out of control.
Donald handed the envelope with the test results to Taylor. "I think you should be the one open it, don't you?"
Taylor shook her head. "No, I have a better idea,"
"What?" Donald asked in confusion.
"I need to go see Douglas first," Taylor replied.
Donald nodded. "He's in his room,"
"Thanks," Taylor said, rushing to his quarters. Once she reached the room, she took a deep breath before knocking on the door.
Douglas, with red eyes and a five o clock shadow, opened the door. "Taylor?" he asked tiredly. "What can I do for you?"
"I need to talk to you about something," Taylor whispered.
"Is there something wrong with your glasses? Or your bionics?" Douglas asked, concern starting to grow.
"No," Taylor replied. "It's about something else,"
Douglas stepped back from the doorway. "Uh, come in then and tell me what's up,"
Taylor took a deep breath, holding the envelope tight in her hands. "I, I was talking to Mr. Davenport, about Giselle,"
"What about her?" Douglas asked slowly.
"About her, and you, and Sarah," Taylor whispered.
Douglas' jaw tightened.
"And, he, he had a few suspicions, so decided to test a sample of your DNA against mine, and, and-"
"And what?" Douglas asked. "Did it come back positive?"
Taylor shrugged. "I don't know. I haven't read it yet,"
"Why not?" Douglas questioned. "Scared that you are the biological daughter of two sociopaths?"
"No," Taylor insisted. "I wouldn't be disappointed if it were true. To be honest, I'll only be disappointed if I end up with two parents who don't care about me," she explained, handing him the envelope.
"And what do you want me to do with this?" Douglas asked carefully.
"I want you to read it and make a decision," Taylor replied.
Douglas raised an eyebrow. "A decision about what?"
"If you want me," Taylor whispered.
Douglas' eyes widened. "Taylor-"
"No, no. Don't feel bad for me. I want you to read it on your own, and if it is negative, you can come tell me. But if it is positive, you need to make a decision. Because, I don't think I can handle knowing my biological father, having him living on the same island with me, and knowing that he doesn't want me. So if it is positive and you don't want to be my father, I want you to tell me it's negative, okay?" Taylor asked.
"Tay-"
"Promise me," Taylor pleaded.
Douglas nodded. "Okay, I promise,"
Taylor flew to the doorway, and then stopped. "But, you know, if you have already made up your mind and it is negative, I wouldn't mind pretending it was positive," she whispered before fleeing the room.
Fleeing the room and leaving her possible father there standing silent thought.
*Suspenseful Music* I guess it is now less about what the truth is and what Douglas decides what he wants the truth to be. Also, Kate and Adam are no longer welcomed at the movie theater, I guess the next date night has to be somewhere else Hehe...
Thanks for reading! Please review and let me know what you think. I am so excited to see Douglas' reaction, as we haven't seen as much of him lately as I would like. Thanks ~AzulaTano.
