So here is chapter 5.
Mr. Davenport's POV
We all go down to the lab, and Adam puts Marcus in his capsule. I do a scan on him to see how bad his injuries actually were
Adam, Bree, and Chase all change out of their mission suits, and into their normal clothes.
"So how bad is it?" Douglas asks not leaving from beside Marcus's capsule. Even after all this time, he still feels bad for leaving Marcus to get crushed under a pile of rubble.
"He'll be just fine. There were no major injuries, just some cuts and bruises"
"Well good" Tasha says "I hate to see him hurting. Although it's not as bad as when you guys first dug him up. Which I'm still a little mad at all of you for leaving him there in the first place. He may have been an android, but he was still just a kid" she says, and all of us - save for Dylan - hang our heads
"Well in our defense if we had stayed we would all be dead right now" Chase says
"Two words. Super. Speed" she says crossing her arms , and Chase's head resumes it's hanging position
"Did any of you even think of that?" Tasha asked us
"If we're gonna talk about this let's do it upstairs" I say while herding them all up through the tunnel.
When we get there we all sit in the living room. Tasha is the first to speak
"So? Why did you guys just leave Marcus there to die? Did any of you even consider saving him?"
"I did" Bree said barely above a whisper while raising her hand slightly "I wanted to, but Adam was holding onto my arm" she said
"I was holding your arm, because I knew what you were thinking"
"Wait, so...you knew I wanted to save Marcus, and that's why you were holding my arm?" she asked and he nodded
"I didn't want you to get hurt" he told her
"Well I wasn't actually going to do it...I did think about it though. But before I could really think Marcus was already crushed, and Adam and Mr. Davenport were pushing everyone out"
"Well sorry for trying to keep my kids safe" I say putting my hands up
"But I felt really bad afterwards that we just left him there" Bree said
"And you" Tasha said pointing to Douglas who put his hands up in defense "Why in the world would you leave your own son there to die?"
"Well I didn't know he was gonna die" Douglas quickly stated
"Well you still left him there alone"
"Well I had to get out before I was killed by the ceiling that was falling"
"And you didn't think to take your son with you?!" Tasha yelled
Everyone was quiet, and Tasha looked like she was just trying to calm herself down
"Bree" Tasha finally said
"Y-Yes?"
"I'm proud of you"
"For what?"
"Even though you didn't save Marcus at the 'Showdown' as Adam calls it...at least you were considering it, and felt bad that you didn't" she said hugging her daughter
"You were gonna save me?" we all look to see Marcus standing by the doorway
Marcus's POV
When I woke up I was sitting in my capsule
"Hello?" I ask
"Eddy where is everyone?"
"And exactly why do you need to know?"
"Because I do" I say trying to push open my capsule door...it's locked
"Eddy could you please unlock my capsule?"
"Hmm, let me think about it..Uh..Umm..No"
"If you do I'll bring back Edie"
"Fine, and the others are upstairs talking about when you died"
"What?"
"Tasha got mad at them because they left you to die"
I use my super hearing to listen to their conversation.
"But I felt really bad afterwards that we just left him there" Bree says
She felt bad?
"And you...Why in the world would you leave your own son there to die?"
"Well I didn't know he was gonna die" Dad said quickly
"Well you still left him there alone"
"Well I had to get out before I was killed by the ceiling that was falling"
"And you didn't think to take your son with you?!" Tasha yelled
After that it was quiet. I decided to get changed -since I'm still in my mission suit - and go upstairs.
When I get up there I see Tasha hugging Bree.
"You were gonna save me?" I ask, and everyone turns to face me
"Uh, yeah" Bree said
I smile and walk over to them
"Marcus sweetie are you okay" Tasha asks doing her over-protective-mother thing again
"Tasha I'm fine...It was just a bear" I say
"Just a bear. Just a bear!" she yells, and I wince because of my super hearing. Even though she's my aunt Tasha is the closest thing I've ever had to a mom, and she's very over protective of all six of us.
"Yeah Tasha, I've dealt with way worse things that that. One time my dad had me fight ten twenty foot tall killer robots." I say, and she looks at my dad who is grinning sheepishly
"You did what now?" she asks my dad sounding very calm, but also very scary
"Umm...Uh...Hey Marcus arm is bleeding!" he says pointing to me
She grabs my arm, and I wince in pain
"Sorry sweetie" she says before dragging me over to the kitchen to wash off my scrape.
The rest of my family follows us
"Is he gonna be okay" Dylan asks
"Dylan I'm gonna be fine it was-" I cut my self off by hissing in pain
"Are you sure?" he asks starting to tear up. Chase walks over to him, and gives him a hug.
Tasha finishes up with my arm, and Dylan walks over to me. I kneel down to look at him.
"Dylan I've been through way worse than this - you can thank my dad for that" I say, and everyone stares at him "But one little scrape is nothing"
"Okay" he says before yawning
"Now why don't you go on up to bed. You have school tomorrow"
"I actually don't mind. Tara really helped with that"
"Well that's good news, because people were giving me weird looks when I had to drag you in the school this morning" I say ruffling his hair, and we all laugh
"Alright everyone to bed now" Dad, Leo, Dylan, and Mr. Davenport go upstairs, and Adam, Bree, Chase, and I walk towards to the lab. Tasha stops me.
"Marcus you stay" she says, and everyone else but the two of us head to bed
"Am I in trouble?" I ask
"No of course not" she says laughing a bit "I just wanted to make sure you were okay" she says putting her hands on my shoulders
"Tasha I told you I'm fine. It was just a bear" I tell her
"Well even if it was "just a bear" I was still worried about you. Out of all the bionic kids in this house I worry about you the most"
"Really?"
"Yes. I mean out of the four of you you're the youngest. And just with what happened at the "bionic showdown" as Adam likes to say, I just felt really sorry for you. I mean your own father abandoned you, and I know that must've been hard to watch"
"It was" I say
"But I just want you to know that I'm always here for you"
"Thanks Tasha" I say, and she pulls me into a hug
When we pull apart I see that she was crying a little bit
"You okay?"
"Yes. Now...go get to bed" she says and I walk to the elevator
"Goodnight Marcus" she says
"Goodnight Tasha" I say before heading down to the lab to go to sleep
I get down to see Adam, Bree, and Chase already in their capsules sleeping.
I quickly get changed, and go to sleep.
If you have any ideas for this story feel free to PM me or leave them in a review, because I still need some ideas for flashbacks.
See you tomorrow :)
