Rise of the Secret Soldiers: Part 1-2

Part I

"Good news my famous bionic and superhuman peeps. Your new PR guy came through big time." Leo said as he walked into the living room, holding a box of magazines.

"What is it this time?" Jodie asked as the four turned to look at Leo.

"Please tell me it's not another celebrity game show. We always lose." Chase said.

"Probably because one of us always hits the buzzer too soon and doesn't know the answer!" Bree said. She looked at Adam while Chase and Jodie pointed at him.

"In my defense, I thought hitting the buzzer was the right answer." Adam said.

"You remember that big magazine interview I got you guys?" Leo asked as the four nodded. "The article just came out thanks to yours truly... Leo Dooley of Dooley Entertainment the subsidiary of Leo Corp." Leo continued.

"Awesome!" "Cool!" "Wait, I want to see!" "Me too!" The four said excitedly as they each grabbed a magazine and started looking through them.

"Wait, the reporter interviewed all of us! Why is Adam the only one on the cover?!" Bree asked as Adam laughed.

"This whole article makes it sound like he's in charge! 'Adam Davenport is the team's leader, strong man and all around superstar'?!" Chase said as he read the magazine.

"Ah, finally, someone gets how things work around here!" Adam said happily.

"Hold on, listen to this. 'Along with Adam's little brother, the girls help him on missions'! It's like we barely even exist!" Bree complained.

"The least they could do was call us by our names." Jodie said as she continued reading the article.

"What are you talking about? You guys are mentioned right here. See? 'Bree and Chase Davenport and Jodie Williams not pictured'." Adam said.

"Hey, guys. What's going on?" Donald asked as he walked into the living room.

"This article totally misrepresents how our team works. People are going to think that Adam is the only one who does anything." Chase complained.

"Oh don't worry. I'll set the records straight and tell them the girls do stuff too." Adam said.

"Guys don't worry about it. The media distorts everything. I mean one time, an article said that I was self absorbed." Donald said and laughed. "Look, the important thing is that you know the truth about who you are and what you do." Donald continued.

Chase opened the magazine again. "We also spoke to Leo Dooley- the team's brilliant mastermind." Chase read.

"What? That's it! I'm calling my lawyer!" Donald said and walked out of the room.

"Lee, can you believe this! It's bad that magazines are writing fake stuff about us, but now they're writing all sorts of lies." Jodie said as her and the bionic trio walked into the lab.

"Yeah. Like I can't keep a boyfriend." Bree said.

"And that I'm a nerd." Chase continued.

"And also a bunch of stuff that isn't true." Adam finished.

"Guys, look. This is the price of fame. Now you see why I've chosen to live my bionic life out of the spotlight... and take my modest 25 percent as your manager." Leo said.

"Leo, this is wrong. The world is not seeing us for who we really are." Chase said.

"Yeah. People need to know that I'm a humble, down to Earth, bionic super model." Bree complained.
