A/N: Thanks to AngelGoneDevil69, purplecharmed200, and JuliaJulz for their reviews! :D Thanks to all favoriting and following this story. Means a lot to me and helps me keep writing.
Mr. Davenport sitting by his computer waiting for his kids to come home. He knew they were capable of defending themselves but he still liked to wait for them to come home. After what happened in previous missions and with his brother...well it is better to be safe than sorry. Right now is he is getting worried how long they taking to get back especially when Bree had a date tonight.
He sighs thinking how upset Bree was before the mission. She complained how long it will take to get rid of the tangles in hair and how she would need all the time to get ready. Mr. Davenport groaned and muttered about why his girls had to care so much of their appearance. He has seen Bree and Tasha in the mornings so he has seen them at their worst and can still tolerate.
Unfortunately for him, Tasha heard it which is why he now going to sleep on the couch for the rest of the week. Thank goodness he had bought comfortable couches for these events due to his inability to control his mouth at times.
He is thinking on whether he should contact them soon despite their agreement not to "mother" them so much on missions that not require his attention so much. He hears the elevator doors slide open as he hears Leo walk into the room.
"I am guessing that they are not back yet." Leo said as he looked around the room. He wouldn't say it but he liked to see his step-siblings before he went to bed. Despite it being Friday he wanted to get as much sleep as possible so he could get up early to be in line for tickets to see a movie that he had wanted to watch. Mr. Davenport nods towards him and tried not to look worried.
Fortunately the bionic siblings walked into the room as he turned around. As soon as they came in, he knew something was up. They were quiet and serious. They usually came in laughing and bragging how they took down the bad guys, how cool they were etc. He grows more alarmed how Bree is not racing to get ready for her date.
"Alright can someone please tell me what happened." He demands seeing how sullen they look.
Chase speaks up with reluctance. He tries to look at him but can't and looks away.
Mr. Davenport is usually a very mature man or that is how he likes to think he is. He is able to handle himself and try to maintain his composure most of the time. Such as when he had to pay for damages the various things that get damaged due to the Davenport siblings. Like ruining his million dollar painting, breaking/losing expensive equipment, messing up with his new equipment etc. He however can handle oh so much without breaking down. He is only human in his defensive.
So when he hears that they meet Marcus again, alive he does a reasonable thing\. He screams and vaguely hears Leo scream as well.
"WHAT?!"
He sees Bree race over to catch Leo who had fainted and settles him down gentle on the floor. Davenport sits down as he tries to not freak out as much. He tries taking deep breathes as he gets up slowly form the chair.
"Marcus is back."
"Yes. He is." Bree says quietly with a worried tone in her voice.
Mr. Davenport closes his eyes imaging the things that they went through due a "family reunion".
He opens his eyes and nods grimly. He is just grateful his family is still safe despite having heard this news. Anything was better than hearing that someone died while on a mission. Yes he'll will admit that Douglas mentally controlling them is cruel and something he will fight for. Douglas however did not want to kill them. Even as mindless bionic teens, he preferred that than seeing their dead bodies.
He is sure they would say otherwise. Die free than live enslaved. Having heard from his past self he knew he would lose it if he ever lost his kids. At least he had a chance of getting them back unlike the other choice.
He looks at them carefully seeing how quiet they were though they were looking to him for answers as if he could solve their problems.
"Alright then elaborate."
They take turns speaking but Chase is normally the one speaking. Bree is too worried to try to relax and Adam looks nervous as if Marcus will pop up behind him.
Mr. Davenport takes the information in and frowns a bit as he is thinking on their conversation with Marcus. Marcus seems...off. He actually cried and had a tantrum in front of the people he hates the most at the moment. Sure it was an effective distraction but still...that meant Marcus is emotionally unstable. Even if he is not working with Douglas he is still dangerous to be out in public. They will have to find him and find him soon as possible. Marcus might have some idea of where his brother is.
"What are we going to do?" whispers Bree with a slight tremble. He is now angry with Marcus. They had went through so much after that event and they were trying recuperate from the trauma and he just had to show up now. To make his kids worry like this.
With a determined face, he says to them." Here is what we are not going to do. We are not going to worry about this just yet. If they had wanted to come after us they would have done so by now. Douglas is very impatient after having lost you guys again and would not let 2 months go by without having done something towards us. We will discuss this later when we are well enough to talk. Bree I believe you have a date tonight so go get ready, Chase try to not go look up into this on your own alright, Adam help me carry Leo to his room."
Adam nods and carries Leo away, Bree leaves but not as cheerful as she was three hours ago. Chase bit his lip as he tried to think about this more.
"Don't worry so much. We won last time-"
"And Leo almost got killed and my siblings and I were going to become mindless soldiers for a madman." Chase retorts before muttering sorry as he leaves the room.
Davenport sighs and looks up to the ceiling. He normally appreciates having someone with the IQ capable of understanding him but now...he just wishes he didn't worry. Chase being the youngest and was also the closest to dying by Marcus' hand.
He goes upstairs thinking how on earth he is going to break this to Tasha when he hears a scream. Leo. He groans thinking how he would have to comfort the boy again.
Leo had demanded to have weapons on him at all times as well as surveillance cameras around the house as if it did not worry him enough that Leo had a weapon on him. He had to comply thanks to Tasha who was shaken up the idea she nearly lost her children. Leo had recently managed to get over it but now...oh this is just not his day.
Hopefully he can foul Leo with a nonworking weapon though he will be discovered eventually. Leo blasted at something that moved, made noises etc resulting in Davenport having to get it replaced or repaired. Which is why everything looks so new around the house. He won't be able to sleep now with Leo holding a stun gun on him. Oh he is just so looking forward to the pain the following weeks.
I try to be as funny as possible but I am not very good with that. I hope you liked it anyway and please review for more updates!:)
