The crowd was dismissed and I noticed Chase, having a sign wedged in his stomach. "CHASE?" I screamed in panic and fear.
"Daniel? What are you doing here?" he yelled back in pain and worry. I imagined because of my patient dress.
"I… I… I… what happened to you?"
"It is called karma young man." Another voice was heard from nowhere. Kaz appeared in front of my vision in seconds.
"Ha ha. We were on a mission trying to save a man from a building when I fell on the ground and someone stabbed me with this." He pointed his finger at Kaz.
"I thought that you were that villain, Argos."
"Guys, guys. Stop. The important thing now is to save Chase." I interrupted them.
"The young boy is right. Impolite Bionic, you will undergo surgery but after that you will be ready to go on mission again. However no walking and harmful moves for at least a week." The doctor who examined me, approached the bed making everyone else go away. "And you little guy, back to the bed. Where is Alan anyway?" The man whose name was Horace, I distingued that from the label on his shirt, picked me up and literally dropped me on the bed. "OW" I cried. After some minutes I fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes something was different. Familiar figures. Mr. Davenport. Adam. Bree. Leo. Even Douglas. Uff, he was alive. In addition, he was the first to notice that I was not asleep anymore because he ran by my side and gave me a big kiss on my forehead. "Dad." I whispered gasping for air as he held me tight. "Can't breath."
"Oops sorry." he said and pulled himself away. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, but Chase will not if we don't protect him." I protested.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"There is an evil man, running after Chase. I don't know why." I answered in a trembling voice. Dad hugged me tight and told me not to worry.
My other siblings and uncle approached me too. Bree sat on the bed by my side, rubbing my cheek while Adam and Mr. Davenport sat on two chairs. We talked for a bit until a strecher was appeared inside the room. I understood that it was Chase, my brother. My family seemed to notice too because they all had socked expressions on their faces. "What happened to Chase?" Mr. Davenport screamed out loud.
"Nothing to worry about.. just a wound from a sign." Horace mocked.
"What?" I heard Mr. Davenport yelling and going towards his sedated "son." Adam followed too.
"Daniel did you know about this?" Douglas asked me.
"Yeah…"
"Why didn't you say anything?"
"I did not want to worry Horace said that he is fine."
"Excuse me? You trust Horace? No offence buddy." My father said and went to Chase too. I stayed there with Bree who had climbed the bed, hugging me while Leo went to explore the new place.
I was playing a game with Bree in her tablet when Alan burst in out of the blue. "We are under attack. Someone has broken into the weapons room and stole everything." No one took him into consideration. Everyone continued their work. Αlan must have been something like their mascot. "Guys, I am serious." he yelled again. Nothing. "You know what, I am going to find the intruder myself. I don't need any of you." Alan left so irritated. I was about to support him but as I mentioned above, I was afraid of dying.
Three hours passed quickly but no sign of Chase waking up. Mr. Davenport was going back and forth all this time. I've been told about his love for Chase but I did not anticipate that kind of care. After second thought, it was logical. From the three, he was the youngest, the smartest and the one that got hurt a lot. Adam told me that Chase went alone in a mission and trapped under a major avalance. Moreover, that evil guy, the incapacitator injured so badly that he almost die. My older brother was different today too. His face was full of concern as he was looking at the injured member of our family.
"Bree, can I ask you something." Ι told her. She looked at me in a weird face.
"Sure." She replied.
"Do you think I am strong enough to save my whole family?"
"Yes but since you are the youngest, we are the ones who must protect you. Adam, Chase and me."
"But look at Chase, what if something like this happen again?"
"Nah, Chase is strong. He will pull through." she said to me smiling.
Being the youngest inside the hospital was definitely the best thing for me. Every single superhero checked if I was okay and I collected all their autographs. Techton said that he liked my bionic abilities. Super cool.
I was sitting on my bed with Bree when I heard a groan coming from my brother. I looked at him as his eyes slashed open. I followed his gaze. He looked at Douglas in surprise. "What are you doing here?" he asked in a sore voice.
"Actually, I was informed that Daniel was here but then I saw you! Are you alright?"
Chase looked at him in frustration. "Oh, I thought you only cared about your youngest son."
"You know that I care about you too."
"Oh yeah, sure. You tried to kill me multiple times. Instead of your son who lived a normal life with his family. I fought Krane, the Triton App, I almost got cut from your girlfriend. And you chose Daniel when I needed you the most. Thank you Uncle Dougie." he screamed and groaned in pain. Douglas tried to approached him but he got pulled away by my uncle. I felt kind of awful. If it was not me, Chase would still be dad's favourite. Anyway, I kept staring at them for a little while.
"Chase what happened?" Uncle Donald asked in concern.
"Nothing, I am fine."
"Chasey, you need to tell us. Do it for me." Adam begged. He always had a way to convince him.
"Fine, I was on a mission with Kaz while Bree, Skylar and Oliver were on the gym training and he accidentally stabbed me." Adam and Donald glared at the young "superhero" who was sitting on the lobby. He smiled sarcastically.
Their discussion was interrupted by Horace's screams. He ran inside the emergency room panicked. "Alan is missing." He cried.
"What?" My sister, Chase and Kaz yelled at the same time.
"Yeah, I searched for him, everywhere. I cannot find him. I already contacted Oliver and Skylar. You guys must find him." Bree immediatelly stood up. So Kaz did. Chase was ready to act the same but Big D stopped him. "What do you think, you're doing?"
"I am going to save Alan."
"No, not like this. You just had surgery."
"I will heal quickly. I have Bionics. I cannot let them down. I am their mission leader."
"Well Mission leader, I am your father and you will obey me."
"You are not my father. This man is." Chase pointed at Douglas. "Apparently he doesn't care if I die or not."
Apparently Chase doesn't like Douglas anymore. But why? What will happened with Argos? Is Chase going to make it? Stay tuned and find out!
