Hey guys, sorry that it's been so long since the last upload! I've been really busy lately, but now I'm back and I'll try to update more often ;) Hope you like my new chapter!

Chapter 2: How to Light a Fellow Bionic Person on Fire (Adam)

Hi random people who aren't bionic! This is Adam, your new audio book reader!

[Adam! Get to the point!]

Sorry, that was Leo. He originally gave me the idea to do this. Right little buddy?

[Adam!]

Whatever. He started this journal to report what life was like was here without Bree and Chase, and I tried too, but my writing was really hard to read and I don't know how to spell, so… [chuckles] Leo gave me this idea to start and audio journal. So that's what you are listening to right now.

Anyway, to the point. I guess I should start off right when we got to the the academy.

I stepped into our bedroom, Leo on my heels. I sighed and smiled. It felt so good to be home. Behind me, I heard Leo sigh too, and dash over to his bed on the couch, and collapsed on it. He laughed and pulled up his favorite gray blanket, and pulled out his PSP from his bag and started playing it almost immediately.

"Leo! We're supposed to be watching the students- I mean- bionic heroes." I told Leo.

Leo looked at me with raised eyebrows.

"Come on Leo, we're alone in this now. We have to start becoming more responsible sometime. Oh, who am I kidding? I hate being responsible!" I laughed, and Leo nodded.

"That's more like the Adam I know," he responded.

I grinned at him. "Well, since it's getting late-" I started just as my best friend Bob walked into the room.

"Hey, Adam!" Bob exclaimed.

"Bob!" I cried, pulling him into a very tight hug.

"Hey, watch it there, big buddy," Bob said to me. "You're hugging me too tight."

"Sorry. I'm glad to see you, Bob," I told him.

"Wait… We're missing someone…" Bob said spreading his hands out cautiously. He looked around and locked eyes with Leo.. "I see Leo… Wait! Where's my Breeze?"

I was confused, but Leo rolled his eyes. "What's your Breeze?" I asked.

"Bree's my breeze," Bob explained.

"But Bree isn't a breeze, she's a human!" I told Bob, shaking my head.

"Yeah, that's true, but that's my nickname for her." Bob said.

"Got it."

"Honestly, Adam, you can be so clueless sometimes!" Leo exclaimed.

"No, not sometimes, that's me everyday," I laughed. Bob laughed along with me. It felt so good to be back at the academy, but as much as I disliked Chase and Bree sometimes, I loved them too. They were my siblings and it felt as if a whole part of me was missing.

"So where is Bree?" Bob asked again, causing Leo and I to explain the whole story.

"Well, Adam was right, it is getting late," Leo clued for Bob to leave after an hour of explaining.

"But I was suggesting that we should throw a welcome home party-"

"Into your capsule," Leo cut me off, grunting as he used his bionic arm to push me into my capsule. I fell into the capsule and hit my head in the hard glass. The door behind me closed. Leo waved goodbye to Bob, so I did too. Bob left.

"Cue soothing meditation music," I whispered. I watched Leo slip his arm capsule onto his arm and pull his blanket over himself. The last thing I saw before I fell asleep was the door closing behind Bob.

I woke up in the morning to Leo hammering on my capsule door, screaming something at me that I couldn't hear because the capsule was soundproof. I shrugged at him and tried to go back to sleep. Leo rushed away. I smiled to myself and closed my eyes right when Leo started pounding on the door again.

I frowned. Leo pounded harder.

"What?" I cried, knowing full and well that he couldn't hear me.

Leo held up a jar of peanut butter. My eyes opened wide and my mouth started watering. Ever since my experience with Douglas's dog, Otis, I have had a thing for peanut butter.

I threw the door open, sending Leo flying across the room and into a wall, yanked the peanut butter from him, and sat down at the island in our kitchen and started eating.

"Ugh, did you have to do that?" Leo groaned, getting up and rubbing his head.

"Yep," I said, grinning.

"Why?" Leo asked, walking over and tried to take the peanut butter from me.

"Leo, do you know me? Number one: because I enjoy flinging people across rooms, and number two, because you had peanut butter and I wanted it then and now," I told him matter of factly.

[You call that a thing for peanut butter? I think you are obsessed!]

Leo, I'm trying to tell a story, here! Be quiet! Anyway, I was eating the peanut butter, and Leo, you know what happens when I'm eating peanut butter and someone takes it from me-

[Yes, you go crazy and your bionics glitch!]

Right, Leo. So that's what happened. I was sitting there, minding my own business when Jonah, the academy's toughest and meanest (if you don't count Sebastian) student, marched into the room.

"Adam, did you take my peanut butter?"

"Um, no, why would I have your peanut butter if I have my own?" I was confused. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Leo blush and start edging away. I wondered what that meant.

"Your guilt is written across your face!" Jonah growled.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"That peanut butter jar has my name on it!" Jonah exclaimed. I looked on the lid. On the top, it said 'This Peanut Butter Jar is the Exclusive Property of Jonah Krane.'

"What does exclusive mean?" I asked.

"It means ONLY MINE!" he yelled.

"Come on now, guys, it's only peanut butter! It's stupid to fight over that!" Leo told us.

"Give me my peanut butter!" Jonah screamed and lunged for me. He grasped the peanut butter and fell to the floor. However, since he has the weight of roughly a 500 pound gorilla, the peanut butter went with him.

"Give it back!" I roared as my bionics started to glitch.

Jonah didn't realize what was going on. "No, it's mine." He stuck a finger in and licked it off.

"Jonah, you're acting like a three year old baby throwing a temper tantrum! Can't you see what's about to happen?" Leo tried to tell him, but he just shook his head.

"GIVE ME THE PEANUT BUTTER!" I yelled, louder this time.

"Jonah, give it to him!" Leo cried desperately.

"No!" Jonah said, stubbornly.

"ARGH!" I cried, and my eyes starting heating up. A few seconds later, my heat vision shot at Jonah. He was set on fire. It was actually kind of funny, after he took-

[Adam! Keep telling the story!]

Sorry. Anyway, he was on fire. The fire alarm went off. Jonah started screaming.

"Now look what you've done, idiot!" Jonah yelled, trying to calm down the fire by blowing on it.

I stood there in shock. Leo laughed, but looked worried. Just then, Perry came in with a fire extinguisher.

"Alright, where's the fire, who did it, and who do I need to take to the hospital?" she asked, eyes us carefully. Leo pointed at Jonah.

Perry sprayed him with the fire extinguisher. "Is that all? Can I go back to playing in the litter box with Mr. Whiskers?"

"We did not need to know what you do in your spare time!" Jonah said. Perry frowned. I took this as an advantage and grabbed the peanut butter from Jonah, and before he could react, I ran away, laughing.

This made me think of the pranks I used to play on Chase. I missed my little punching bag. I looked down, sadly, at the peanut butter jar, and ran into someone. I looked up, but as soon as I looked up, I got hit in the head.

"Ow," I said, and fell back into a world of darkness.
