Hey-o! *met with glares* Sorry. D: It's been crazy lately – we had relatives out for the Fourth of July and then my mom's cousin stayed for another week afterward. In addition, I might not be TheMichiganWriter for much longer. My family's just really up in the air right now . . . we probably won't even be in this house for more than another three weeks. That's both a great thing and a bad thing. So, it's really tough right now on me emotionally and physically, so pardon my lack of updating.

This chapter . . . eeeeeh, not too sure. It's supposed to be choppy. And yes, I do have amateur 'proof' that this could theoretically happen on a TV-Y program O.O I'm actually in the process of brainstorming a fic with the working title "The Bionic Handbook." Basically, it's how I breakdown my limited knowledge of the human nervous system and Sci-Fi stuff XD It would be 'written' by Leo, so yes, lots of sarcasm. :)

Soundtrack: 'A Rush Of Blood To The Head' by Coldplay. Absolutely beautiful :) LOVE the guitar in it. Enjoy! If you can . . . O.o

"We are only at the beginning,"

- Jennifer Savage

"Subject G. Analyzing." the artificial voice ticked off. It was still for a few moments. Then more darkness.

A man's replaced it. "In the year 1994, two brothers founded a company by the name of Davenport Industries."

Pictures matching the voice played across his 'vision.'

"For two years, they worked together and built up the company. In 1996, they had their first big break with NASA." A photo of two young men smiling for the camera in front of a building. Photos of a smiling man signing papers and shaking hands. "In a multimillion dollar deal, they began to manufacture chips for robots to do the jobs that were too difficult for humans. It went well for about six months. Then, things took a turn for the worst.

"The younger brother began experimentation with the chips. In under three months, he had developed a genetically engineered human for the first chip – Subject A. He created a bionic superhuman. It was a complete success, and the subject was gifted with enhanced strength, heat vision, compressed lung capacity, blast waves and plasma blasts. Another followed, Subject B, with enhanced speed and agility, invisibility, vocal manipulation, as well as the ability to climb and stick to any object. The third and final subject – C – had enhanced intelligence and senses, molecular kinesis, a force field, and a countless number of apps." photos of the subjects, smiling and growing.

"Each were created a year apart. They were kept a secret by the younger brother, no outside contact at all. Their first three years were spent behind a locked door. But one day, that door was left unlocked. Secrets were spilled and the truth behind the children was presented to the horrified older brother.

"The younger brother was given the boot from the company. The children were hidden in a lab, safe from the outside world. There they were raised and trained to be heroes by the older brother. And finally, they were given names.

"Subject A became Adam, B Bree and Subject C Chase. For fifteen years they remained hidden, until one day the older brother was married. Upon returning home, his step son discovered the lab and its occupants. And then, the bionics were free." images of school, fails, laughter, mistakes, and above all, family.

"Over the years, they discovered their true origins and found their real creator. They saved the world multiple times, all the while maintaining the largest secret of their lives – that they were lab experiments. One day the government discovered the truth. Through many events, they were released. The step son, Leo, became partially bionic in one arm after a freak accident." various scientific photos of his abilities and chip, each with a date and time.

"The bionics graduated from high school and began working full time for the government. Life went smoothly for a few years – until 2023. The older brother and his wife died within a few months. Before then, the two brothers who had once split apart had made up. They worked side by side. But then, the younger brother realized something: life is fragile.

"It's only there for so long. Everyone would pass on at some point. That included bionic super humans – the protector of the world. What would happen to future generations without their care? They would crumble.

"So he began again. Four new subjects. Four new hopes. Four new experiments. When he showed them to his children, they had a different perspective. They shunned his work. Children were again taken from him.

"The original bionics knew they couldn't raise them the way they themselves had been. So they began to try to remove the bionics from the children. It didn't work. The body had come to rely on the machinery. Instead, they disabled the chip's signals and kept the abilities a secret."

"The chips had to be re-calibrated every forty-eight hours to prevent physical illness. This became a struggle as the children grew older. Eventually, Subject C invented a night shirt with a high collar that could charge and calibrate the chip as the children slept." Images of the technology and the children growing, playing, laughing – all clueless as to what was lurking beneath the surface.

"Life went on with the adults going on missions. Until, one day, a mission they – we – didn't return from.

"My name is Chase Davenport. I'm, in a way, your father / uncle. All of you were made from a combination of our, the originals, DNA. And yes, you're siblings. Treat each other like it. Take care of each other.

"I don't know how we were killed. I just hope it was worth while. This is a prerecorded message should anything have ever happened to us. I guess it did.

"Know that our lives are over, our mission as well. That's why you're here. That's why you're the way you are. That's why you're an advanced human with abilities and a mission to protect the world. You were created for this. Now, it's time.

"The lab you are currently in is where we were raised. It is loaded with everything you need to train and live. The four capsules are your new beds. Unfortunately, the younger brother, Douglas, placed locks on your abilities. We aren't able to tell you what powers you have. But I know you can figure it out.

"Please, support each other. Help one another through whatever comes. And I promise you, it's not going to be easy. Remember, a house divided against itself cannot stand.

"Gael, you're about to take a leap of faith. Whatever comes, you can make it together. You're the next generation. You're meant for this. You can do it.

"And I end this with saying, from all of us, we know you can do it. You can do this. And most of all, we love you. Good bye."

And then darkness.

Gael awoke with a gasp. He was racked with chills, his teeth chattering uncontrollably. He felt suffocated; a foggy mess. He panted and gasped for air to fill his tired lungs.

Slowly, his eyes took in the lab. The same as he had last seen it, though the lights had darkened quite a bit. He carefully eased from to ground into a sitting position, his back against the gray wall. Pain immediately rushed through his head and he groaned. A droplet of sweat rolled down his forehead.

It seemed everyone had suffered the same conditions as he had, but none were yet beginning to stir.

What a dream, Gael scoffed foggily. Bionic super humans . . . ha! What a joke.

But he didn't find it quite so comical when he looked down at his lap. For there, on the concrete, was ice rapidly spreading from his open palm.

And there we have it! This will make a lot more comical sense down the road. You'll get what I mean later. :)
