After everything was sorted out, Tasha was plenty happy to have the little ones stay. They were sweeter than sugar, and were overjoyed to have a mother figure to spend time with. Leo was enjoying it too, bragging continuously to them that he was taller and bigger. Eventually the Lab Rats had had enough and Adam threw him against the wall, which shut him up quick, but he still kept saying it to himself, making his family question his sanity. After convincing her husband (again) to let them come outside, she decided it would be best to introduce them slowly to the world, so they wouldn't freak out or get overly excited and glitch. So she chose a simple walk in the park, some fresh air after being in that stuffy lab would do them good.

Leo wanted to go and witness their reactions to everything personally, but his mom made him go to school instead. Everyone repeatedly asked where his siblings were, and each time he just answered "They're not feeling themselves today. They had to stay home." Everyone bought it with only a few questioning looks, thankfully just believing they were sick, but his luck didn't last.

When the kids had asked their stepmother what school was like, she couldn't really describe it well enough for them to be satisfied. So, of course, as soon as she walked out of the room, Chase found the address in the phone book and had Bree zip them over there instantly, having to back track a couple times. After all, they'd never been outside before.

Thankfully they were wearing regular clothes rather than their training suits. Bree wore a little light pink sundress with magenta glittery swirl designs and matching tights. She had her hair plaited into one plain braid down her back with a light pink ribbon, courtesy of Tasha.

Her brothers each had jeans, Adam in a forest green t-shirt with a black hem and neckline, and script across the front that said 'Modern Day Hercules', and Chase had a simple sky blue shirt that had sleeves that went to his elbows, and black script on that back that said 'Sure he's smart. But I do it faster.' With a picture of a computer under it.

They dodged people throughout the halls, amazed at what they saw. So many new sights, sounds… everything just blew their minds. They were careful not to be seen… until they saw Leo, who was sitting at the base of the stairs, playing a video game. "Hi Leo!" Bree chirped, skipping over.

"What?" he glanced up momentarily, almost instantly turning his attention back to his game. "Oh, hi guys." He said in a dismissive, bored tone. Then he seemed to realize who he was looking at and his head shot up. "Guys! What are you doing here?" he demanded, nearly shouting.

"We wanted to see what school's like!" Bree spun around joyously, arms outstretched and giggling. "And I'm glad we did! This place is amazing!"

They'd attracted quite a few eyes now. "Who are they?" a cheerleader asked, pointing.

"Oh, uh, they're, um-" Leo stuttered unsure how to respond.

"He's our big brother." Adam piped up, which was kind of true. He was their older step brother, but whatever.

"Oh my gosh!" Danielle, Leo's long time crush, squealed. "They are so cute! Why didn't you tell anyone you had such adorable little brothers and sister?" she exclaimed, crouching so she was looking them all in the eyes. "She's got to have the prettiest blue eyes I've ever seen!"

Bree blushed and giggled, responded with a shy "Thank you." making Danielle love her even more. Her shyness was overwhelmingly cute.

Danielle looked up at Leo, who was still standing with hopeful eyes. "Can I hold her?"

"Uh… sure?" Danielle swept Bree into her arms, making her scream with joy as she was spun around. Soon, he was being swarmed by girls that wanted to hold and interact with his younger siblings. He ended up having to take them to class with him, and the teachers were all amazed at Chase's intelligence, and his ability to pick up things so fast and actually understand it. The kids just sat next to Leo, watching everything with excited eyes.

During history, the teacher was extremely happy to welcome a new 'student', who seemed to know more about the subject than her. She had him tell everyone about Egypt, the pyramids, it's past, it's previous culture, the changes that had been made to the governmental ways over the centuries. And for once, the class actually listened, because… well, getting taught by a little kid was much more interesting than a trained professional.

When she praised him and asked where he'd learned all that, he answered "I've been studying since I could walk. I could read before then, but Davenport wouldn't let me hold a book till he was sure I wouldn't hurt myself by over using my brain. He said it wasn't healthy to indulge too much knowledge at once, but I don't really see the problem. Learning is good, right?" at the end of his speech, everyone short of his siblings had their mouths hanging open, amazed that a four year old could use such big words and say it so serious and straight forward.

The teacher glanced at his siblings questioningly. "He always talks like that. You get used to it after awhile. Even if I can't understand half of what he's saying." Bree said, shrugging.

"Ok… why aren't you in school yet?" the teacher asked.

He shrugged. "Davenport won't let us go to school. He says we can't until we're 'ready'" he made quotation marks with his fingers. "But I have no idea what that means."

Leo decided to step in before they revealed too much. "Um, they're homeschooled. He just didn't want to send them to school until he thought they could cope. They've never really been around other kids, so he thought they should start slow." He offered a nervous smile, praying they'd buy it.

"Oh well that makes perfect sense." His teacher said. "Thank you again, Chase. Did everyone take good notes?" a round of nodding came from the class. "Any questions?" everyone shook their heads. "Alright. Now go on, it's time for study hall. But Leo, I'd like a word with you."

Everyone left and Leo walked up to her desk, wondering what she could want. He had to hurry before the kids got bored, or they might wander off. He kept them close just in case. "Yes?"

"I was just wondering, will they be returning tomorrow? They're such joys to have around. And you" she patted Chase's head "Are the smartest little guy I've ever met. So will they be returning?" She asked with a hopeful expression.

"Well… maybe. They weren't supposed to be here in the first place." He replied tiredly. He'd had his past four teachers ask the same thing, if they'd be with him tomorrow. He'd answered like he didn't know, and he didn't. If he could sneak them there, sure. But if not, well…

A sudden thought hit him. How were his parents reacting to the fact that they were gone? They'd probably kill him for this! He hoped they hadn't noticed. But, knowing his luck, they had. Great. Terrific. He was doomed to die a slow, painful death. Well, he may have been exaggerating, but not by much. Oh how he wished his siblings hadn't touched that time machine.
