So, the two references from the last chapter were Morgan and the fern.
In Hostages Morgan is Jake's older sister...So, since Marcus and Jake are the same person, I kinda just made Marcus date his sister...Oh well.
And in the episode Big Time Girlfriends James didn't have a date, so he took a fern on the ferris wheel.
REPLIES:
Mia.D: Glad you like my stories! And PM me, and I'll help you come up with some ideas for new stories.
Lexi Taylor: I'm really glad you like the story! The Dylan/Marcus is my favorite part of it. I really like Marcus, but there aren't that many of him where he's not evil. And I really like him as a big brother, but there are also gonna be some times in this story where he's the little brother too. I really liked reading your review, and it's actually what made me want to write this chapter. Also, I've never had a fan before! So thanks :D
Also I went back to reread the last chapter, and it did not take me half an hour to write that AN, but I kept almost falling asleep while writing it.
So, anyhoo, enjoy :)

Dylan's POV
After we drop off Tara and Sarah at their house I drag Marcus up to my bedroom.
"Woah! Slow down Dylan. You don't even have super speed, and you probably could've beaten me here" Marcus says laughing. I close the bedroom door, and sit on the bed
"Sorry, but I really need help with this" I say, and he sits down beside me
"Is it about Tara?" he asks, and I nod
"You like her don't you"
"Maybe" I say "But I don't know if I do or not. That's why I need your help" I say, and he smiles
"Well I've never had a girlfriend before, so why aren't you asking Adam, Chase, or Leo?"
"Because I thought they would laugh at me" I say, and look at the floor
"Hey" Marcus gets off the bed, and kneels down in front of me "None of us would laugh at you for something like that. And besides, maybe you and Chase could help each other out"
"What do you mean?" I ask
"I mean that only one girl has ever liked Chase, and Spike came out, and scared her away. So he's pretty stuck on the whole love train too"
"But what about you and Adam? You guys have never had a girlfriend"
"True. But girls actually talk to us. Adam is just too...Adam for them" I laugh "And I'm not looking for a relationship right now"
For a minute everything is quiet "You sure they won't laugh?" I ask
"Positive"
"Okay, then they can help" I say, and Marcus smiles
Marcus's POV
I run downstairs to get by older brothers, but I don't see them anywhere. The only person here is Tasha. She is in the kitchen making something.
"Tasha, where is everyone?" I ask
"Donald went to bed, and Adam, Bree, Chase, and Leo are down in the lab helping your father with something"
"Mr. Davenport went to bed already?" I ask walking over to her, and sitting at the table.
"Yeah. I said to wait until we had our movie night, but he wanted to go to bed so that he could get that "Donald Glow" as he calls it"
"Isn't that what Leo calls it?" I ask
"Yeah, but he paid Leo to let him use it. Although after Leo said that he would've let him use it for free" We both laugh a little bit "Why do you need everyone?"
"Because Dylan needs some help with something. And I only need Adam, Chase and Leo"
"Why?" she asks
"Because he..uh"
"Did he break something?" she asks
"No...but...he might have a crush" I say, and she starts smiling like an diot
"Awww! My baby has a crush! Is it Tara!?" she asks excitedly
"I'm not allowed to say, but he doesn't want everyone to make a big deal out of it" I say
"Okay, well I'm just gonna go up and talk to him while you get your brothers" she says, and before I can say anything she runs up the stairs faster than me or Bree.
I shake my head, smile, and go down to the lab
Tasha's POV
"I can't believe my baby has a crush!"
That's all I can think about as I run up to his bedroom.
Marcus's POV
The elevator doors open, and I walk into the lab.
"Hey Marcus"
"Hey dad. Whacha working on?"
"Well since Donnie went to bed I'm working on my new project" he says smiling
"Which is?"
"It is a...Chase?" he looks at my brother, and Chase rolls his eyes
"It's basically an ice maker" Leo says
"No" Chase says "It's a-"
"Ice machine" Leo, Bree, and Adam all say
"Whatever" Chase says, and goes back to helping my dad
"So, Marcus, what brings you down to the lab?" dad asks
"Well I came down to get Adam, Chase, and Leo"
"Hey, what about me?" Bree asks
"It's a guy thing" I say
"What kind of guy thing?" she asks
"Doesn't matter" I say. She stands right in front of me with her arms crossed staring at me.
I try to look away, but she breaks me.
"Okay fine! Dylan has a crush on Tara! Just stop staring at me like that! It's like you're trying to look into my soul! It's creepy!"
"I grew up with two brothers, adding Leo two years ago, and you and Dylan in the past few months. I've perfected the art of soul glazing glares" she says still staring at me (Marcus's and Bree's lines were from the story The Tale Of Marcus Davenport by Sloth Keeper, but adding Dylan and Marcus)
"Will you stop that!"
"Fine, but now onto the real problem. MY LITTLE BROTHER HAS A CRUSH!" she screams
"Why is that a problem?" dad asks
"Because he didn't ask for my help" she says crossing her arms
"Well he didn't ask for Tasha's help either, but she's up there. But you don't have to because Dylan said that he didn't-" she super speeds up the stairs "Want to make a big deal over it" I say, and sigh "Are you guys coming or not?" I ask
"Yeah we're coming" Leo says
"Obviously" Adam says
"Of course"
"I'll be right there" dad says
"Uh, dad?"
"Yes, son?"
"Dylan just asked for the four of us" I say
"Fine, but I'm coming up later" he says
"Whatever" I say, and my brothers and I go up to Dylan's room
Dylan's POV
So looks like Marcus told Tasha and Bree, because they're cradling me in their arms trying to help.
Bree keeps saying how to get a girl to like me, and Tasha won't stop telling me how much I've grown up. She says things like "You're such a big boy" and "My baby has a crush" or even "My little cutsie, wutsie, bear, baby is getting to be such a big boy"
Just then Adam, Chase, Leo, and Marcus walk into my bedroom.
"Thank goodness!" I say, and run over to hug Marcus.
"What is going on in here?" Marcus asks laughing a bit
"Well, I guess since you guys are here we should go" Tasha says, and her and Bree walk out of the room, but not without both of them kissing my forehead on the way out.
The five of us all sit on my bed.
"So, my little brother has a crush on Tara" Adam says
"How did you know who it was?...And how did Bree and Tasha know too?" I ask Adam and Marcus
"Ummm...Uh..."
"MARCUS!" Dylan yells
"Sorry. Tasha figured it out, and Bree kept staring at me"
"She stared at you" I say
"Yeah, but it was like she was staring into my soul. It was creepy!"
"I HEARD THAT!" I hear Bree yell from her bedroom
"SORRY!" Marcus yells, and I laugh
"Whatever" I say
"So, you need help talking to girls. I can help you out with that" Chase says
"Yeah, but what do you know about talking to girls?" I ask him
"...Uhhhhh..."
"That's what I thought"
"In my defense Adam and Marcus don't have girlfriends either!" Chase says
"No, but at least girls actually talk to us" Adam says
"You, but not Marcus" Chase says
"I'd rather not get into a relationship right now, so I have an excuse" Marcus says "You do not" I laugh
"Anyway, I do" Leo says
"I don't even know if I like Tara" I say, and flop back on my bed
"Well how do you feel when you're around her?" Leo asks
"I. Don't. Know" I say
"Just think. I don't even know what questions to ask a thirteen year old about a crush. I didn't meet Janelle until I was fourteen" Leo says
"I do" Marcus says
"So do I. We'll help you" Chase says
"Good. I like having bionic brothers" I say, and they smile
"First question" Chase says "Do you feel different when you're around her?"
"Well, I...I feel more...normal I guess. Like when I'm here my life is an awesome, crazy, bionic, scientific mess" Chase smirks "but when I'm around her I feel like a normal kid"
"So she makes you feel good?" Adam asks
"Yeah" I answer
"Good, next question" Marcus says "Does your stomach feel weird? Like you have a million butterflies in there when you're around her?"
"Oh boy, YES! A million times YES! I hate the feeling, but I love it at the same time" I answer
"Good, so you definitely feel something towards her" Leo says
"Third question" Adam says "Do your hands get sweaty?"
"Do you ever see me when she's around? It happens all the time when I'm with her"
"Okay, now for the next question" Leo says "Are you ever nervous when she's around?"
"No. I feel comepletly comfortable with her" I say
"What about when she touches you?" Marcus asks
"When she touches me...it's like...kinda...I don't even know how to describe it...But tingly would be a pretty accurate word" I say
"Well, I added up your scores, and you definitely like her" Chase says
"Awww, my baby brother have a crush?" Marcus says in a baby voice, and messing up my hair
"Hey!" I say swatting his hand away. He smiles, and fixes up my hair.
"You should definitely ask her out" Leo says
"No way!" I protest
"Why not?" Leo asks me
"Because...Uh...I don't know"
"Because she sees him as just a friend, and he doesn't want to ruin their friend ship" Marcus says
"Exactly" I say
"KIDS MOVIE TIME!" Tasha yells, and we all run out of the room.
Before Marcus leaves I grab his arm.
"Marcus?"
"Yeah, Dylan?"
"Thanks" I say smiling
"You're welcome, baby bro" he says and side hugs me
"Wanna take the fast way down?" he asks, and I nod excitedly. He super speeds down the stairs, because he knows how much I love it.
Tasha made Mr. Davenport come downstairs, because she wanted it to be a family night. For the movie we sit in our normal pairs. Except for some of us.
Adam, Chase, and Leo; Mr. Davenport and Tasha; Bree and Douglas; and me and Marcus.
Adam, Chase, and Leo wanted Marcus to sit with them too, but he said that he would rather sit with me. I'm glad he did too, because with all the stuff going through my head right now, I really just needed someone to cuddle me.
"I just wish she saw me as more than just a friend" I think as I watch the movie
Tara's POV
"I see him as way more than just a friend" I think as I pace my room holding onto the necklace Dylan bought for me.
The seashell was the exact shade of green that I love, and just the fact the he bought it for me made it special.
"TARA!" Sarah yells as she runs into my room
"What do you want Sarah?" I ask
"You know you can't get attached to him" she says
"I know, but it's so hard not to" I say
"Well too bad" she says, and stomps out of my room
"Why?"
He had finally been adopted. Someone actually wanted Dylan Rocky King. After two years in that orphanage someone finally wanted him. The seven year old was so excited to start a new life.
He had lost his mom to cancer two years ago, and he still misses her. She had given him her special bracelet that he wears every day. It was a blue and red string bracelet that said BE BRAVE in small letters. And "Be Brave" was the last thing his mother ever said to him.
The man who adopted him is named Victor Krane, and he had a daughter named Sara.
When they get to his house - or more like a hideout - it's nothing like he said it was. There is barely any color, everything is grey. There are weapons all over the place, shards of glass, broken inventions, pieces of screp metal lying everywhere. This is no place for a kid to live.
"Soooo...This is your house?" Dylan asks
"Yes. Is that a problem?" Krane asks
"NO!" he quickly answers
"S1!" he yells, and the girl named Sara is here in a flash.
"Wow" I whisper
"So, this is the kid" she says circling me
"Yep, now let's get to work. S2 get in that capsule over there" he says looking at me
"Are you talking to me?"
"Yes. I said S2 didn't I?"
"But my name is Dylan"
The man laughs "Not anymore"
Dylan gets in the capsule, and waits for the chip to be implanted in him.
He realizes that this is not the man who had come to the orphanage. This him, the real him, was mean, nasty, cruel, and he knew one thing for sure.
He did not want to upset him.
Whatever happened to Dylan he was going to make sure to have a happy life. Because that's the one thing his mom wanted him to do. He promised her that he would, and Dylan Rocky King did NOT break his promises.
What did you think?
The flashback, just in case you didn't know, tells Dylan's first thoughts when he got to Krane's house after he adopted him.
Feel free to leave a review, and tell me what you thought of the chapter.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! :)
