Chapter 15

In the next few hours, they all got a lot of work done but it was time for the moment of truth. "Well ready to prove all the reporters wrong?" Adam asked Tempest.

Tempest nodded, "Ready, but who won?"

"You did," Adam huffed.

"Victory!" Tempest shouted for more reasons than one. Adam huffed again as she jumped in joy. "It was close though." She observed looking around.

"I know, but you beat me in completing those bathrooms," Adam said.

"We didn't bet anything though." Tempest said with a shrug having calmed down. "And it made sure we got as much work done as we can."

"True," Adam said looking at the finished houses.

Tempest saw her best friend and went to her. "Feliss! You're back!"

"Yeah, sorry, I was blurring around a lot," She said.

"It's ok. How was your time with your dad."

"It was great!" Feliss said happily.

"That's great! And having you here certain explains how much work got done." Feliss smiled nodding. "Let's see the press try and deny my intentions now." Tempest said with a smile looking around.

"Here they come," Adam said.

Tempest held her breath as she watched them approach. They all looked shocked at the new houses Tempest went over to them. "So, as you can see we are already making fantastic progress."

"Twenty-six homes?" One of the reporters asked.

Tempest counted over them. "Twenty-seven, actually."

"That's incredible!" He said.

"Teamwork and dedication." Tempest said then added knowing it's something she doesn't keep a secret at all. "It also helps that one of the workers has super speed."

"You all did what should have taken weeks in a day," One reporter said.

"That's just the kind of workers we have and none of us are going to stop until everything's truly done."

"That could be years," One reporter said.

"It doesn't matter, we'll still do it." Tempest said determinedly.

"That is dedication," The reporter said.

"As I said earlier, that's just the kind of workers we have."

"Amazing!" They said.

"Any other questions?" Tempest asked.

"What's next?"

"As I mentioned in the earlier interview, the factories."

"Well this is very impressive," The reporter said.

"Any other questions?" Tempest asked.

"No," Most of them said.

"You're certainly going through a lot of trouble, Ms. Doofenshmirtz." The cynical reporter from the first interview asked.

"I told you I would do this and I did," Tempest said.

She rolled her eyes. "You're still not fooling anyone."

"You know Ms. I'm sorry what is your name?" Tempest asked.

"Steve."

"Ms. Steve, you seem to be the only one still complaining," Tempest said.

"It's not my fault that I'm clearly the only person here with common sense." Steve said through narrowed eyes.

"No, you're the only one here letting personal issues cloud your perception," Another reporter said

Steve glared at that reporter. "No, I'm not."

"Yes you are you hated her sister and now you're taking it out on her,"

"Come on! It's so obvious!" Steve said getting very annoyed.

"That you have a grudge?" Adam asked.

Steve glared at Adam. "I do not."

"You do not trust her, even with Firestorm backing and this," Adam said.

"She's obviously just trying to get us to let our gaurds down." Steve argued. "Firestorm backing it just means that you guys feel for it just like everyone else."

"We are Firestorm, Ma'am. We do not fall for tricks, not on a grand scale," Candace said.

"If you're so sure, don't come crying to me when you find out that I'm right." Steve said not budging.

"Why would we talk to you at all?" Adam asked.

Steve frowned and scribbled something down in her pad. "What company do you even work with anyways?" Tempest asked.

"The Central Danville Paper," She said.

Tempest made a note to check that tomorrow. "Well, what would it take for you to believe me?"

"A lot after all your family has done!" Steve said.

"Well, if it's any consolation, wasn't actually raised by them or anything. I have no idea that I was even a Doofenshmirtz until he," Tempest said and motioned to Adam, "ran a dna test to see who my parents are since we were both wondering."

"Really?" Steve asked.

"Yeah, and it was obviously a terrifying surprise when the result ." Tempest answered. "That was only yesterday."

"That is interesting," She said.

"Any other question?" She asked anyone. No one had any. "Alright, then that is all, just as the first confrence, anything said here is fair game."

"Thank you," They all said leaving

"We definitely need to check that paper tomorrow." Tempest said to Adam once they were all gone.

"We will,"" Adam said.

"Well, other than Steve, it seemed to go really well though." Tempest pointed out. "But SO many people read that paper that it almost wouldn't matter."

"True, but the other reporters balance it out," Adam said.

"Hopefully," Tempest said with a sigh. "do you have any idea where some of the others are from?"

"Danville Times, Danville Post, California Paper," Isabella said.

"Alright, that definitely makes me feel better." Tempest said relieved.

"Yeah, so now we can rest," Adam said.

Tempest smiled, "Yeah, I may not be under the effects of the Langulium Quantricite anymore but I could definitely use that." Everyone nodded in agreement. "Alright, then thank all you so much and everyone is dismissed for the day." Tempest said.

They all nodded and scattered in different directions leaving Adam, Isabella, Tempest, and Feliss. "Alright, ready to head back to the base." Adam asked.

"Yeah," They all said.

"Teleporter or Feliss?" Tempest asked.

"A race!" Adam said.

"Me vs. teleporter?" Feliss asked.

"Yes!" Adam said.

"You're on!" Feliss declared.

"Who will go with whom?" Adam asked.

Tempest couldn't pick between the two for herself. "Come with me," They both said. She looked back and forth between her boyfriend and her best friend. "Please?" They both said.

"You know I can't choose between the two of you!" Tempest said.

"Why not?" They huffed.

"Because, both of you mean the world to me. Whichever I pick I'd hurt the other's feelings."

"It would not," Feliss said.

"What if I were to take my own?" Tempest asked pulling out her own teleporter.

"That could work," Adam said.

Then it's a three way. Who you going with Isabella?" Tempest asked punch in in the coordinates.

"Uh, Adam," She said.

"Figured as much." Tempest said as Isabella took her brother's arm.

"Ready? Set? GO!" Adam said. They were all gone in a flash.

Back at base the first to arrive was Tempest, follow by Feliss... Adam was last. "Well that sucks," Adam said.

"Sorry, Adam." Tempest said looking down. "You lost twice in one day."

"I lose," Adam huffed. Tempest gave him a hug to try and help. He hugged her back, but was still pouting

"Come on, Adam. Please cheer up?" Tempest begged.

"Okay, I will." He said.

"Yay!" Tempest said hugging him tightly.

"Only because it's you," He said

Tempest blushed, "Well, thank you."

"It's my pleasure," Adam said kissing her neck gently hidden from the view of the other two girls by Tempest's hair.

"You realize, it's obvious what you're doing, right?" Feliss asked.

"What do you mean?" Tempest asked in a completely even voice as Adam stood up straight with a smile

"Come on, there's old one thing it could be."

"Whispering in my ear?" Tempest asked innocently.

"Down that far?" Feliss asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well yeah I am short," Tempest said. Feliss sighed and decided to leave it at that since at least she's arguing with her. "So do I win?" Tempest asked

"Yes, you win." Feliss admitted.

"Yes!" Tempest said.

"I do believe we came here to get some rest though." Feliss reminded.

"Oh yeah, hot tub?" Tempest asked.

"There's a hot tub?" Adam asked.

"You have not seen the pool area?" Tempest asked surprised.

Adam shook his head. "Why didn't you tell me of this before?"

"I thought you knew," She said.

Adam shook his head. "No, I didn't."

"Oh sorry," Tempest said blushing.

"It's ok, I'll just get my swimsuit on and you can show me it now." Adam said.

"You guys can just go ahead, I'll find something else." Feliss said still terrified of water.

"Why?" Adam asked concerned.

"You know I'm scared of water." Feliss reminded.

"I wish I could help with that," Adam said

Feliss sighed, "Well, there's nothing you could do, okay?"

"Okay, no need to get mad," Adam said sounding slightly hurt.

"I'm sorry, in a perfect world I could."

"You could have at least just said no," Adam said.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it that way." Feliss said.

"Well that was how it came out," Adam shrugged.

"I know, and I'm sorry." Feliss apologized.

"It's okay," Adam said.

"Good, I'll be okay though, you guys have fun." Feliss said.

"No, we do something together or not at all," Tempest said.

"Well, if you're sure, I don't want to be a burden though." Feliss said awkwardly.

"You're not," Tempest said.

"But you guys want to go to the hot tub but you won't because of me."

"We can go at any time," Tempest shrugged.

"Well, if you're sure, do you have any oher ideas?" Feliss asked.

"Well we have a trampoline room," Tempest said.

"That's not really 'rest' though, despite being fun."

"There's a movie theater," Tempest offered.

"That works." They all agreed.

"Then let's go," Tempest said.

She led Adam, Isabella, and Feliss to the movie theater. It had about twenty black arm chair-like seats a wall of movies and a popcorn machine. "Wow, you aren't kidding when you say a theather." Isabella observed.

"Yeah , it's pretty fun," Tempest said.

"Is there anything this place doesn't have?" Adam asked.

"A tennis court," Tempest said.

Adam shrugged, "Well, at least I don't play tennis."

"I don't either," Isabella said.

"So, any movie you want to see?" Tempest asked.

"The Hunger Games?" Adam asked.

"Excellent choice." Tempest said quickly finding and taking that movie since they're all alphabetized.

"Who wants what for snacks?" Adam asked going over to the snack bar.

"I'll just have regular buttered popcorn." Tempest answered.

"Extra butter!" Feliss said.

Isabella shrugged. "The same."

"Cool and extra both for me," Adam said. They got the popcorn and settled down to watch the epicocity of the Hunger Games.

When it was over they still had a few ours left in the day before night time. "So, now what?" Tempest asked.

"Well I have a dinner to make," Adam said.

"Can I help?" Tempest asked.

"Sure if you want to help me cook a deluxe steak dinner," Adam said.

"Of course I do." Tempest said happily.

"Then I can't stop you," Adam shrugged.

"Wanna help too Isabella?" he offered his sister.

"Nah not right now," Isabella said

"Alright then, you can spend some more time with Feliss." Tempest said before her and Adam headed off to the kitchen.

"Sure," Isabella said smiling.

Feliss turned to her. "So, what do you usually like to do for fun?"

"You know I am not sure," Isabella said.

Feliss raised an eyebrow. "How could you not be sure?"

"Well I spent a lot of time with Phineas and just did whatever he did usually," Isabella said.

"Didn't he ever go on some kind of trip or something with just his family?" Feliss asked. "What did you do then?"

"I hung out with the girls," Isabella said.

"Just hung out and relaxed?" Feliss asked always loving that.

"Sometimes yeah," Isabella said.

"Then that sounds perfect." Feliss said surprising her.

"Really?"

"Yeah, it's nice just to sit back and relax." Feliss said with a smile.

"Okay, want to watch another movie?" Isabella asked.

"Sure, you wanna pick?" Feliss asked.

"No, you can." Isabella said.

Feliss went over to the movies. "How about Wreck It Ralph?"

"I have never seen it...okay!" Isabella said.

Feliss took it and put it in. "Good on popcorn?"

"Yep!" Isabella said happily.

"I'm not." Feliss said going over to get some more.

"Okay I can wait," Isabella said. Once it was made and had her extra butter, Feliss took her seat and started the movie.

Meanwhile in the kitchen Adam and Tempest were waiting for the oven to warm. While they waited they were kissing heatedly. The oven went off but neither of them heard it.

They did smell the heat a few minutes later. They broke apart blushing. "At least it was just pre-heating." Tempest said awkwardly.

"Yeah, would have sucked to burn food," Adam said.

"So, we can do that while it's cooking?" Tempest asked putting the food in the oven.

"We can just listen for the alarm," Adam said.

Tempest set the alarm and turned it way up before returning to work.

"I love you," Adam said between kisses.

"I love you, too." She said between kisses wrapping her arms tightly around him.

"I really don't know what I would do without you," He said picking her up as she wrapped her legs around his waist.

"You definitely have it backwards." She corrected.

"No, I really have no clue what I would do without you," Adam said.

"I have no clue what-so-ever what I'd do without you though." Tempest said being completely honest.

"Have a less complex life," He said.

"I'd probably be back to living on the streets since you wouldn't have run the DNA test." Tempest reminded.

"I would be with two insane girls though," Adam said shivering.

"You would have figured it out on your own." Tempest said confidently.

"After who know how long?" Adam said.

"Almost none at all. You're smarter than you give yourself credit for. Remember how close you were before I told you?" Tempest asked.

"I was just suspicious of Vanessa," He shrugged.

"That not what you said at the time, with that file you found?"

"Which one?" Adam asked having forgotten.

"The file you found at the Firestorm base on 1st Dimension Felicity?" Tempest reminded breaking apart as the alarm went off.

"Oh yeah that," Adam said.

"See? You would have been fine." She said confidently.

"Not as happy though," Adam said.

"Well, I guess." Tempest said as the alarm went off.

"No you know I wouldn't," Adam said.

Tempest blushed getting down and taking out the food. "I certainly wouldn't either though."

"Maybe not," Adam said starting the bbq that was inside the counter and putting the steaks on.

"What do you mean?" Tempest asked.

"I know if it had not been me someone else would have gotten you," Adam said

Tempest raised an eyebrow. "All filthy?"

"Yeah even then," Adam said.

"I doubt it. You're one of a kind, like my mom said, most people are shallow." Tempest said with a frown.

"Most people are, but I am not the only one who can see past the dirt," Adam said.

"No, you pretty much are." Tempest said honestly.

"I guess we'll never know," Adam said.

"Hopefully not." Tempest said smiling back at him.

"Believe me we won't" Adam said.

"Good, I don't want to."

"Neither do I, how do you like your steak?"

"Medium rare." Tempest answered just like at the barbecue.

"Right!" Adam said setting steaks on the grill while Tempest started on the shrimp.

"We still make a great team." Tempest said happily.

"None better," Adam said.

"Yeah, and it doesn't matter what we're doing." Tempest said. "We're always the best."

"We have proven that," Adam said.

Tempest smiled widely. "Yes, yes we have."

"Exactly," Adam said. They finished up the dinner and had it plated to perfection in no time. "Mom and Feliss' dad are coming also," Adam said. Tempest nodded dishing up for them to. "And now we go change for dinner," Adam said.

"Alright." She said giving him a quick kiss before heading off. Adam headed to his room

"How did I get so lucky to have someone like that?" They both asked once there.

Once they were changed, Tempest went to get Isabella and Feliss while Adam got the parents. When Tempest pushed the door to the theater open her jaw dropped.
