LabRatsWhore: Nice guess, it was Krane behind this and now Graham too.

DYLAN! Hi!, finally got around to reply, I would've replied sooner but you appear as a guest. Anyway thanks for reading all the Lab Rats stories I have so far and for your support. I'm also glad you enjoyed each story and my writing :) ;)

Author's Note [IMPORTANT (not really)]: I know I have fanfics in-progress but I just have to warn people now. Watch out for a new Lab Rats story a bit more different than the others. I can't wait!

Chapter Nineteen: Clear As Day

Adam's P.O.V

"I want to keep Marcus in observation," Mr. Davenport says grimly, his brow furrowed in concentration.

"Why is something wrong?" Leo asks concerned.

I turn to face them quietly as Big D draws blood from Marcus' arm. Wait. He's an android, how is he drawing blood? I say as much.

"He's not an android. I didn't know it worked, but it appears Marcus is human now although some complications might appear like now," Mr. Davenport explains.

"What do you mean?"

"He's like Chase."

I face my fiancé who's still sleeping soundly wrapped in a warm blanket.

"What do you mean?"

"For some reason, when I created Marcus as human, his DNA changed and matched Chase's after the explosion of Facility X. In other words, Marcus can get pregnant, what I don't know is why this happened and how. I believe this, as well as the bionics applied by the bionic tied up in the lab, has caused a strain on his body."

"He's pregnant?!"

"No, have you not been listening? He can't be pregnant unless he has unprotected sexual intercourse," Davenport rolls his eyes.

I gulp because I begin to remember what happened, or what I assume happened, two weeks ago at the club. I don't know whether to mention is or not.

I don't have to because Uncle Doug strides into the room pushing the bionic that attacked my brother. His eyes aren't the green tint from the tritan app anymore. They're a chocolate brown color that matches his hair. He momentarily looks confused but his eyes soften when they land on Marcus' unconscious form. I slip from the bed and growl at him. For some reason my instincts tell me it was him. He was the one who had sex with my brother and is now attacking him. How dare he use Marcus.

"Adam," Big D warns although I can hear the concern and confusion.

I don't listen as I stride close to him and grab him by the front of his shirt. His feet leave the ground and he breaks the rope binding his hands as they wrap around my wrists. He glares at me and I glare back.

"Let go!" He screams.

I do as told and let him go, in the process launching him across the room. I have a sick satisfaction as he crumbles to the floor after crashing into the wall.

Bree super speeds to hold him, effectively stopping him from escaping if he tries. I'm sure he's not that stupid.

"Adam what's going on?" Uncle Doug asks.

I hear someone stirring behind me and turn to face Chase sitting up and rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

" 'dam?"

"I'm here," I coo as I approach him and take him in my arms.

It isn't long before Marcus wakes up disoriented.

"Adam! What is going on?" Big D demands.

It's only then that Marcus realizes what's going on and he pales.

"How long from conception can you find out if someone is pregnant?" I ask instead.

Big D narrows his eyes but answers nonetheless, "Usually around six weeks but for bionics like Chase and Marcus I can find out for sure around four weeks."

"Two more weeks," is all I offer.

"For what?" Leo and Bree ask.

"To know if Marcus is really pregnant or not," I reply with a shrug.

"What? What the hell is going on? What are you hiding?" Uncle Douglas yells.

Everyone turns to face Marcus who's staring at the blanket covering his legs. It seems like our guest has an epiphany as his eyes grow wide in comprehension.

"It can't be," he murmurs although we can all hear him.

Chase looks up at Big D with unshed tears as he swings his legs over.

"I think I need to confess something," he whispers.

Big D looks at him concerned but the agitation is finally getting to him, as well as to me.

Chase waddles to Marcus's bed and stands on trembling legs as I hold most of his weight.

"In Facility X," he begins and his voice breaks, "I should've died."

I tighten my grip on the hand I'm holding almost painfully tight but Chase doesn't complain.

"I should've been crushed by the ceiling but I wasn't and I never truly explained what happened then, why I became Spike."

Marcus' breath hitches because he remembers, the glint in his eyes tells me so. He was at the scene, he was affected by the radiation like Chase.

"The cloaked figure that attacked you," Marcus covers, "was me."

Big D's eyes widen at the confession as he pieces the puzzle together.

"Your DNA was affected by the radiation of the Gamma-Sphere like Chase and never completely faded. And even if it was managed to be treated, it couldn't have because Chase's DNA still changed so he could carry a baby. When I managed to turn you human, give you a human body, that infected DNA changed your internal reproductive system. All because of that explosion," Big D whispers.

The explanation is clear as day.

"Two weeks ago..." Marcus continues distressed.

I can see as Chase squeezes his hand in reassurance.

"...Adam and I went to celebrate since I found out about the twins... it was supposed to be a night of fun but I had a drink-"

"You drank!" Uncle Doug exclaims.

"It was simply one, and we both wanted it. At least I didn't have an ulterior motive," he whimpers.

"You had sex, with him? Unprotected?!" Leo accuses.

"I...yes," Marcus sniffles.

The kid, looks absolutely petrified from where he's restrained but there's something else, something I can't quite decipher, yet.

"C-Can I talk?" He asks nervously.

"NO!" Everyone shouts frustrated.

Chase is the only one that answer oppositely and he takes that as his cue.

"I didn't know that could happen," he begins.

"No one did, and even if someone had known," Tasha glares at Big D, "Marcus wasn't informed and neither were we."

"That still doesn't matter, you clearly work for Krane seeing as you have the tritan app installed," Uncle Doug glares.

"I don't have an option. He controls me with his brain whenever he wants. Still...If Marcus really is pregnant-"

"And if he isn't?" I dare.

"It doesn't matter. If Marcus is pregnant with my baby I want to be there for him, and even if he isn't I still like him...ever since I met him at school..."

I knew it.

"I know I'll need to gain your trust but to me Marcus is everything. Please help me, I'll do anything," he adds.

Big D takes a deep breath and nods toward Bree to let go of the kid. He walks out the room with Tasha and Uncle Douglas following behind.

Marcus stifles a small sob and I wrap my arms around both my fiancé and brother. Leo looks about ready to murder the guy who hurt Marcus and Bree stands indecisive. He takes a tentative step toward the bed and I let him. He reaches out and brushes away Marcus' disheveled hair away from his flushed face. Marcus looks up with tears streaming down his cheeks. He brushes them away and places a chaste kiss to Marcus' forehead.

I see the door open to Leo as he quickly brushes by a returning Davenport.

The kid looks up and stands stiffly as he approaches us.

There's only two options and the single question our dad asks is enough of a decision, "What's your name?"
