A/N: Prepare for shocking fun!
Chapter 16
Tempest had to blink many times to make sure what she was seeing was real.
There in the front row, and I kid you not with this, Feliss and Isabella were kissing. "Feliss, why didn't you tell me you were gay?" She asked not intending for it to come out loud but it did.
There was a sound like a plunger being pulled from a sink as the two girls jumped apart. "Tempest, you scared us!" Feliss huffed oblivious to her friend's shock.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to say that out loud." Tempest said trying to at least temporarily set aside her shock. "I came to let you guys know that dinner's ready."
"Oh okay, Tempest could you maybe not tell Adam?" Isabella asked.
"Well, alright, but you'll tell him eventually right?" Tempest asked. "And seriously Feliss, why didn't you tell me you like girls? You know I would and do accept you."
"I will after dinner," Isabella said.
"Well I like boys too, I was just worried what you would think," Feliss said.
"You know I'd accept you know matter what Feliss. I mean I'm a DOOFENSHMIRTZ and you accepted me for it which with you specifically is huge." Tempest said then turned to Isabella. "Then I won't, it's best he hear it from you than me."
"What do I do if he does not except me?" Isabella asked as Tempest hugged Feliss.
"He's your brother, Isabella, I'm positive he'll still love and accept you no matter what." Tempest said confidently.
"What if he does not though?" Isabella asked comically shaking the other two girls.
"Knowing Adam, I'm absolutely positive he will." Tempest said having no idea what to say for if he doesn't.
"Okay, okay I'm calm," Isabella said hugging Feliss herself.
"Good, should we head till dinner then?" Tempest asked letting go of Feliss.
"Yeah let's change first," Feliss said giving Isabella a quick kiss then blurring away. Isabella nodded and headed off to her own room to change.
"Did not see that coming," Tempest thought. She headed back to Adam trying hard to keep her mouth shut about it.
"Hey Tempest, how are you?" Adam asked when she got there.
"Good, Isabella and Feliss will be here soon, they're just getting changed." Tempest said managing to keep her voice and body language steady as Feliss blurred in all changed.
"Hey Feliss, nice pant suit," Adam said looking at her black suit.
"Thank you, Adam." Feliss said a little awkwardly from what Tempest caught earlier.
"Is everything okay?" Adam asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Feliss said knowing that he needs to hear it from Isabella not her.
"You sure you both look odd..." Adam said.
"I always look odd." Feliss said simply.
"Not what I meant and you know it," Adam said.
"Well, there is something but Isabella really has to be the one to tell you." Tempest said awkwardly. "Not us."
"Okay I guess I'll ask her later," Adam said.
"Okay, you'll love her no matter what it is though right?" Tempest said as more of a statement.
"Yeah, why?" Adam asked.
"Just making sure, she was worried." Tempest said looking down.
"About what?" Adam asked.
"Well… you'll see." Tempest said truthfully.
"Should I be worried?" Adam asked.
They both shook their heads. "She's fine." Feliss said simply.
"Then tell me what is going on here?" Adam said getting irritated with them knowing something important and not telling him.
"We promised we wouldn't." Tempest said taking a step back. "She said she'll tell you after dinner."
"I but you all know and.." Adam sighed in a very irritated defeat.
"I need some air," He said heading towards the door.
"What could it be they they aren't telling me." He breathed to himself.
He however had no idea and that was really bugging him.
Not long after, Isabella had arrived having changed as well. "Hey girls, where's Adam?" She asked.
"He said he needed some air and stepped out." Tempest answered.
"Is he okay?" Isabella asked.
"Yeah, he's just a little frustrated that we won't tell him why we're acting odd." Feliss explained.
"Oh, he was?" She said.
"Yeah, we still didn't though." Tempest told her.
"Now he's mad?" Isabella guessed.
"He didn't really seem mad, just annoyed." Tempest answered.
"Then why do you two look so worried?" Isabella asked.
"I'm not sure if he'll make it through dinner." Feliss admitted. "Maybe it would be best to find and tell him now?"
"In a theme park this big where do you start looking?" Isabella asked.
"Well, you know him better than we do, where do you think he would have gone?" Feliss asked.
"Is there a way to the top of the Matterhorn?" She asked Tempest.
"Yeah, you think he's there?" Tempest asked.
"He likes to go to quiet places to think so that's our best bet," She said.
"Alright, I'll show you how to get up there." Tempest said and they headed out. "We'll be back soon, don't blow anything up." She warned Feliss knowing it was a real threat in the kitchen.
"One time!" Feliss shouted.
"You blew up WATER; one time is all it takes."
"Oh come on!" She huffed.
"At least we're letting you prove us wrong." Adam admitted.
"Fine," Feliss huffed.
So, Isabella and Tempest headed out to find Adam exactly where Isabella had suspected. "Adam?" Isabella asked.
Adam looked to her hopefully. "Isa, what do you need to tell me?"
"Well see the thing is...I'm bisexual, and Feliss and I are dating," Isabella said.
"What?" Adam asked in shock.
"You heard me, Adam" Isabella said carefully.
Adam shook off the shock coming to his senses. "Well, that's perfectly fine. Unless she hurts you, then I have no idea what I'm going to do."
"So, you're okay with it?" Isabella asked.
"Yeah, you're my sister. I'll accept you anyway you are."
Isabella hugged him, "Thanks bro,"
"You're welcome, Isa; but she better treat you right."
"She does," Isabella said happily.
"I know, just hopefully it will stay that way or I'll have to find a new way to get brotherly revenge."
"How?" Isabella asked.
"I have no idea but I'd figure something out."
"True," Isabella said smiling.
"Then, let's get down from here." Adam said letting go.
"Please I hate heights unless I can snuggle with something," Tempest said. Adam wrapped an arm around her. "That's a little better," She said.
"We should still go down though?" Adam asked.
"I guess we have to," She said.
They headed back to the base. "Is dinner not exploded?" Tempest called.
"Yes, no it is not." Feliss called in annoyance.
"Are you sure?" Tempest asked.
"How would I not know?"
"Just checking," Tempest said.
"Then come in here!"
"Alright let's go," Tempest shrugged.
They headed into the kitchen where in fact, nothing was blown up. "See?"
"Fine forgive my doubt," Tempest said.
"I can be around food and not blow it up, just not cook it." Feliss said defensively.
"Sorry Feliss," Tempest said hugging her
"It's okay." Feliss said returning the hug.
"So, who is getting the parents?" Adam asked.
"Weren't you?" Tempest asked.
"Yeah, but now we know I move slowest," Adam said.
"Alright, I'll get them." Tempest said pulling out her teleporter.
"Good idea," Adam said. Tempest put in the first destination and was off. "I'm gonna go, I'll be right back," Adam said leaving.
"He's uncomfortable," Feliss said blurring over and pulling Isabella into a hug.
"Well, at least he's still okay with it." Isabella said leaning into her with a huge smile.
"Yes, but he still feels odd around us now," Feliss said kissing her cheek.
"That's understandable." Isabella said before correcting Feliss' aim by kissing her lips.
"Are you alright with it though?" Feliss asked between kisses.
"Well, he'll hopefully get better." Isabella said between kisses.
Before Feliss could continue to bring up possible problems Isabella pushed her tongue into Feliss' mouth which silenced her talking. Feliss wrapped her arms around Isabella's waist pulling her in closer. Isabella's own arms slid up and wrapped around Feliss' neck as she sighed content.
"That'll never get old." Isabella said when they separated for air.
"No, it won't," Feliss sighed. They both caught their breath and went right back to it. Adam walked back in saw them and immediately turned around.
'That'll really take some getting used to.' Adam thought.
He waited a few minutes then walked back in. This time they weren't in the middle of it. "You guys done?"
"Yeah for now," Feliss said glancing over at him. Tempest returned with each of their one remaining parents.
"Dinner will be served soon," She said
"Why not now?" Feliss asked confused.
"We need knives," Tempest said. She rose up the utensils and got everyone knives. "Please enjoy!" She said uncovering dinner. Everyone looking impressed and took food and a seat.
"So, you said there was something you wanted to tell us or some news?" Vivian asked.
Isabella gulped and told them what she had told Adam verbatim.
"Really?" Vivian asked. Isabella and Feliss both nodded.
"Well this is your choice," Mr. Daniels said
"Really?" Feliss asked hopefully.
"Yes really," He said smiling.
"Mom?" Isabella asked her mother nervously since she hadn't said anything.
"I just do not know what to say," Vivian said. Isabella looked down, unsure of what to make of that. "If you are truly happy Isa, then I will be alright," Vivian said.
"I am happy, Mom." Isabella said looking up.
"Well, then I can get used to this," She said.
"Thank you, Mom. That really means a lot." Isabella said taking her girlfriend's hand.
"It's alright," Vivian said.
"It's nice to see everyone being so accepting." Tempest commented.
"Yeah it is," Adam said.
"By the way, you'll read it in all the papers tomorrow but," Tempest explained what they did today with the company and what they will be doing.
"That is incredible," Vivian said.
"I mostly owe the speedy progress to Feliss." Tempest said. "Not to mention everyone else was amazing."
"Yeah we did great work and mom there is a home waiting for you," Adam said.
"Well, thank you guys so much." Vivian said.
"It was our pleasure," Tempest said.
"Anything else?" Vivian asked.
"Not yet," Tempest said.
"Well, alright." Vivian said with a shrug as she ate. "What's next then?"
"I wanted to merge with Daniels international,"
Mr. Daniels smiled at her. "I think that could be arranged."
"Really?" Tempest asked.
He nodded, "I don't see why not."
"That's great!" She said.
"See, you're a natural business woman." Adam commented. Tempest just blushed in response "It's true, you're even getting better at verbally defending yourself." He pointed out.
"Thank you," She said.
"You're welcome, but it's true and you'll need it in running the company."
"I know, but hopefully I will get better," Tempest said.
"I know you will." Adam said with a smile.
"Thanks Adam," She said.
"I'm not a liar. I only say what the truth is."
"No one ever said you were a lair," Tempest said.
"Then you know that my word is good." Adam said simply.
"Yes I do," Tempest said.
"I told you we'd make it through this together, we're already so far."
"You make a good point," She said smiling.
"So, now that that's out of the way, what's next?" Adam asked.
"Desert and then bed or enjoy the empty park?" Tempest asked.
"Disneyland after closing is always cool." Feliss commented.
"And there are plenty of secluded spots," Tempest and Feliss whispered to Adam and Isabella. The siblings both smiled.
"Well I would like to go home after dinner I am tired," Vivian yawned and Mr. Daniels nodded
"Well, alright." Tempest shrugged. "Mom?"
"I'm also going to head to bed, it's been a long day with all the building. You kids have fun," She said.
"We will." Tempest said confidently.
"Alright then we have a plan," Adam said smiling
"I like our plan." Tempest said snuggling into him.
"Me too," Adam said holding her close.
"We should clean up from dinner first though." She said, ironically, she likes to keep everything but herself clean.
"Well okay then let's get to it," Adam said. Tempest stood up and started clearing the table.
They were done in minutes "Alright, now we can go." Tempest said.
"So our parents are staying here?" Adam asked.
"I thought it was just mine." Tempest said awkwardly.
"Oh right," Adam said remembering the other two had gone home
"Yeah, they have their own homes."
"Right and Isa and Feliss are already gone," Adam said.
"Then let's head out as well."
Adam picked her up and walked out to the park. "So, where should we go?" Adam asked.
"Well Feliss and Isa are probably having some quality time in Space Mountain so not there," She said
"Right, not there." Adam said awkwardly.
"Yeah, no uh...tea cups?" She asked.
"Alright." Adam nodded carrying her over there. She had already begun to kiss and lick at the spot where Adams neck met his shoulders He placed her down in one of the teacups and fixed her aim. The kissing slowly grew more heated, but Adam was careful not to go too far until Tempest was ready.
"Thank you, Adam," She said when they separated. "for being so respectful of my boundaries."
"It's no trouble," Adam said.
"Still, thank you." She said holding him close. "I'm a little old fashioned on that."
"What do you mean?" Adam asked.
"With not wanting to... you know."
"Oh, well we can do that when you're ready," Adam said.
"And thank you for that, instead of trying to convince me otherwise."
"I would never push you if you are not ready," Adam said honestly.
"Good." She said with a huge smile. Adam smiled back at her. Tempest just kissed him again. Adam kissed her back passionately. She smiled into the kiss as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I love you," Adam said between kisses.
"I love you, too, Adam."
Back in Space Mountain, Isabella and Feliss were kissing equally heatedly. "You are an amazing kisser," Isabella said between kisses.
"That's a surprise; I've never kissed anyone before you."
"Well then you're a natural," Isabella said lovingly.
"You're an amazing kisser to you know." Feliss said holding her close.
"Well I had practice..." She said blushing.
"I know, but still." Feliss said smiling into the kiss. Isabella pulled Feliss closer kissing her as if she needed it as much as breathing. "Why can't we just stay like this forever?" Feliss asked between kisses.
"I don't know, but I wish we could," Isabella said pushing Feliss so that Isabella was laying on top of her in a roller coaster seat.
Feliss gently wrapped her arms around her being careful not to break her since for her that's unfortunately an actually threat.
Unfortunately for both couples the peace of the day was about to end. Over in the tea cups Adam broke away from Tempest looking around worried.
"What's wrong?" Tempest asked.
"We are being watched, from somewhere," Adam said.
Tempest pulled out absorption toxin bottle and looked around frantically.
Then there was a whistling and a needle filled with green liquid hit Adam in the neck. He pulled it out feeling dizzy, but steady enough to say
"Come on back to base!"
She got up instantly and grabbed on to Adam taking them back to the base.
Tempest looked back in time to see Adams eyes shift from blue to red as he looked around when she opened the door. "Get inside, I have to go get Isabella," Adam said running toward space mountain unknowingly picking up speed as he went.
Tempest's jaw drop as she watched him go. "Oh please no."
Meanwhile Isabella also broke away looking around for whatever was watching them. Adam got there in pretty much no time. "We need to get back to base, now!"
"Why what's wrong?" Isabella asked.
"I have no idea yet," Adam said looking around for something.
"Feliss get Isabella back there your faster," Adam said. Feliss took her girlfriend and blurred back to the base.
She came out in front of a scared looking Tempest. "You okay?" She asked worried.
"I'm okay... but." Tempest started as Adam got there at impossible speeds.
Adam slammed the door shut and made the shields around the park go up before turning to the three shocked girls. "What?" He asked.
"How did you get here so fast?" Tempest asked though thought she knew the answer.
"I ran," Adam shrugged it had not seemed fast to him.
"You shouldn't be able to run that fast though... unless..." Tempest trailed off.
"Unless what? How fast did I run?" Adam asked.
"Well, Feliss and I left before you did and you got here less than a second after us." Isabella told him.
"I did really?" Adam asked.
They all nodded. "Adam, that needle you were stuck with, I think it might have contained some of the same chemicals Feliss was injected with." Tempest said, that being the ONLY explanation.
"So I have super speed?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
"Unless you have a better explanation." Tempest said awkwardly.
"No I do not," Adam said.
"Then you have super speed." Tempest said slightly jealous.
"Are you mad at me?" Adam asked noting her tone.
"No, of course not. I just wish I did." Tempest said simply.
"I'm sorry," Adam said.
"It's not your fault. Besides, most people don't. I don't know of any real one's but Feliss and now you." Tempest said with a shrug.
"So do I have super strength to?" Adam asked.
Tempest shrugged, "Possibly, we should check."
"Oh this is the best part," Feliss said excited.
"Alright, so, how do we check?" Adam asked looking at Feliss.
"You have to punch a few walls," She said excitedly.
Adam was surprised by that. "Wouldn't that injure my hand if I turn out not to though?
"Yes, but it's the only way," Feliss said.
Adam sighed, "Well, alright."
"Yes! Follow me," She said picking up Isabella and waiting for him to pick up Tempest. Adam picked up Tempest relieved to find that it wasn't really anything so hopefully it won't break his hand. They both blurred off.
"See, I told you." Tempest said once they got there.
"You can gloat later," Adam said.
"Yeah, we have some walls you have to break through." Feliss said excitedly.
"You seem happy?" Tempest said raising her eyebrows.
"It's fun and it'll be really cool to finally be able to see it from the other side for the first time."
"Okay so what do I start with?" Adam asked.
Feliss shifted Isabella into one arm and pushed a button causing a wooden wall to come out of the floor. "Level 1."
"Let's hope this works," Adam said hitting the wall which shattered on impact.
"That always looks so cool, level two." Feliss said pushing the button again and a concrete wall came up.
Adam stepped up and hit it. The wall cracked but did not break.
"You need more force," Felicity said. Adam drew back his hand again and hit it harder. It finally shattered.
"See? I actually hadn't made in through that one... I cracked it though, level 3." She said and put up a weird steel concrete blend wall. Adam hit and it dented, but did not break. Feliss frowned slightly at this. "You're not just limited to punches you know."
"Okay," Adam said jumping and kicking the dent
"Well, that didn't work." Feliss said thoughtfully.
"Yeah, what now?" Adam asked
"Are you giving up?" Tempest asked.
"No way!" Adam said
"Then get creative." Tempest said simply. "Maybe you could try building up force with a super speed start first."
"Worth a shoot," Adam said. Adam went to the other side of the room and took a shot at it. It shattered and Adam hit the wall beside it.
"Wow, that was a great idea Tempest." Feliss said impressed before asking Adam. "You okay?"
"I just hit a metal wall with my head...I've been worse," Adam said.
"Why did you go head first?!" Tempest asked in shock.
"I didn't I lost my balance and hit the wall," Adam said still not getting up from the floor.
Tempest came over and helped him up. "Maybe you should take a break."
"I guess," Adam said holding his head.
"Want some ice or something?" Feliss asked worried.
"No I'm okay, no I am bleeding and badly. If nobody minds I'm gonna pass out now could you get me to a doctor?" Adam said before collapsing still bleeding from the head. Feliss sat Isabella down and blurred away to get a doctor.
"Adam!" Tempest said getting very panicky. She tried to stop the bleeding but she knew she couldn't try to hard not knowing if it's in open head wound or not.
Feliss returned with Baljeet who had a medical bag. "Out of the way now," He said. Tempest immediately did so and Baljeet went to work.
Tempest and Isabella held their breaths as Baljeet worked feverously.
After an hour he stood up. "Is he going to be okay?" Tempest asked sounding panicked.
"Calm down please, he'll be fine, but he needs to stay in bed for a while," Baljeet said.
Tempest nodded feeling guilty for giving the idea. "About how long?"
"About two days," Baljeet said.
"Alright." Tempest said sadly.
"He'll be back in top shape after that though," Baljeet said.
"You sure?" Tempest asked hopefully.
"Yeah his body is healing at a remarkable rate," Baljeet said.
"That's probably because of what happened earlier." Tempest said then explained to him the situation.
"That would explain a lot," Baljeet said.
"Yeah, but, my father, sister, and First Dimension Felicity are dead. Who could have done it?" Tempest asked thinking about it.
"Rodney?" Feliss asked.
Tempest sighed. "More than likely, it was pretty much inevitable that he'd go after us for killing his boss and adopted daughter."
"Yeah, great a new problem," Isabella said.
"We can handle him though, right?" Tempest asked.
"Yeah, of course!" Feliss said.
"Especially since thanks to him once Adam wakes up we have TEO people on our side with powers." Feliss added.
"Yeah, what an idiot!" Isabella said.
"Well I don't think he was ever told what those darts do," Feliss said
Isabella shrugged, "I guess maybe not."
"Still an idiot," Tempest said.
Feliss chuckled. "Even more so, actually."
"Yeah, you never work with what you don't know," Tempest said.
"Feliss, would you mind carefully getting Adam to his room?" Tempest asked.
"Yeah I'll get him to your room," She said.
She carefully picked up the unconscious boy and took him there at normal speed so as not to accidently make it worse.
"What a long day," Tempest said.
A/N: Fun and shocking huh?
