Capítulo XV- El Video
When Patience arrived at school, she expected her day to be normal. Or as normal it could get when you befriend the world's first bionic superhumans. However, she did not expect hundreds of eyes to follow her from the bus to the school's halls along with whispers:
"Isn't she friends with them?"
"Yeah, I see her with them all the time."
"Do you think she knows?"
Students huddled together in groups, glancing down at a screen. Patience furrowed her eyebrows as Principal Perry peered over a student's shoulder and she joined her. Adam, Bree, and Chase were displayed on the screen using their bionics to fix a pipeline from yesterday's mission.
Her eyes widened hearing Bree's voice behind her back, "What's everybody lookin' at?" Everyone in the halls stepped away from the bionic siblings, afraid they'll cause them any harm.
"A new viral video," Perry answered, "Guess what it's called? 'The World's First Bionic Humans'."
"What?"
Adam held onto his backpack's straps, "Wait, there are other bionic people? Then why are we working so hard?"
"She's talking about us," Chase replied.
"Yeah, look," Perry flipped her tablet to them, showing the video. Chase created his forcefield on the pipeline while Adam sealed it shut.
Patience fretted, "Somebody recorded you during your mission."
Leo added, "Your secret's out. Everybody's gonna know you're bionic."
"Never mind that." Perry scoffed, "Now I can't blackmail Daddy Big Bucks anymore. My gravy train just ran right off the tracks!"
Bree looked around the room. Everyone's stare held onto the group, whispering to their friends. It was much louder now that they were present in school. "Everyone's looking at us."
Perry yelled, "Quit your staring. Scram! So they're bionic. Get to class before they mow you down with their finger missiles." The student's dispersed to their classroom after Perry's threat.
"How could this happen? What are we gonna do?" Bree asked.
"I don't know. We're in big trouble," said Chase.
"Wait! I know how we can fix this! We'll convince everyone the video was made with special effects," Leo pitched in. "You know, like those fake videos Adam's always watching."
Patience gasped, "That's a great idea. We could just tell them it was for some project."
"So Giant Baby Eats Tokyo is fake? I should've known. Where are they gonna get a diaper that big?"
