CH 5

Austin's P.O.V.

Once Bree told me that Mr. Davenport needed me down in the lab, I went down immediately. "Austin, I need you to step inside Chase's capsule, if you don't mind." He told me. I do as he says. I see him typing something on his computer thingy, and next thing I know, everything goes black.

~Dream/Flashback~

My dad and I, me being 8 years old, were on a plane on the way home, when we heard a lady on the intercom thing. "Everybody, please, remain calm. It seems that we are making an unexpected landing. Please buckle your seatbelt, and remain seated." All of a sudden, the plane started jerking around, and began plummeting to the ground. After that, all I remember is waking up in a hospital, doctors rushing all around me.

"Austin? Austin, Can you hear me?" One of the doctors spoke to me. "Austin, if you can hear me, squeeze my hand." I did as I was told. "Austin, you're going to be ok. Just keep listening to my voice, try to keep your eyes open." My eyes, they are so heavy. I can't keep them open, I'm so tired. Why can't I move? Oh well, maybe just a little nap?

I woke up to the most annoying sound ever- a heart monitor- just as the doctor walked in. "Austin, you're awake?" he asked, I nodded my head. Ouch, my head hurts. Wait. Where is daddy?

"Where is my daddy, Mr. Doctor?" All of a sudden, he gives me a look of sympathy.

"Austin, you were the only survivor. And that in itself is a miracle. When you first got here, a week ago, you flat lined. That means you actually died, and we couldn't get you back. But that's when your friend's dad, Mr. Davenport, came in and said that he could save you. He implanted you with something, and ever since then, you have been getting better." Tears came pouring out of my eyes. Daddy is dead? Wait. Implanted me with something? Hmm, I wonder what he's talking about.

"Can I see Mr. Davenport?"

"Yes, hang on, let me go get him." He said and walked out. After a few minutes, he walked back in, Mr. Davenport trailing behind him.

"Can you give us a minute?" I asked the doctor. As he nodded, he walked out leaving me alone with Mr. Davenport.

"What is he talking about? You implanted me with something?" I cut right to the chase.

"A bionic chip. By implanting it into the back of your neck, it allowed you to live, however, if removed, there is a good chance that you could die."

"What abilities do I have?"

"Speed, smarts, strength, geo leaping, and levitation." He told me

All of a sudden I begin to wake up, as I hear Bree and Mr. Davenport talking. "He has defiantly been there. Not only then, but recently as well. Not necessarily taking control, but watching from Austin's eyes." I hear Mr. Davenport say.

"Oh my god. Is there anyway to block him out?" Bree asks him.

"Only one, but it is way too risky."

"Well, what is it? If there is a way to help him, I want to know. I need to know."

"I have to build him a new chip and switch it out from the one he has now. Bree, I have to take his chip out."
