NICK'S POV |

i awake to lina's loud music playing in her bedroom as she sings along with the songs.

"ugh, you'd think I'd get sleep on the weekends."

I get up annoyed as I make my way towards her room.

"lina, for the love of god please let me sleep." I say as I knock on her door multiple times before she turns it down and opens the door.

"you need something?" she asks looking at me with a smile making me raise an eyebrow.

"and what's got you so happy? I guess your 'hangout sesh' went well?" I ask leaning on her door frame as she responds by rolling her eyes.

"that's not a no." I tease as she sits on her bed and I walk in.

"we just watched a movie, ate some snacks and you know just..." lina starts as I cross my arms in front of her waiting to finish.

"just what?" I ask as she can't help but giggle a little.

"HE PUT HIS ARM AROUND ME NICK." she lets out instantly revealing a huge smile leaving me with wide eyes.

"lina! you promised!" I say placing a hand on my chest in disbelief as she punches my arm and stands up.

"as if I was actually going to listen to you nick, plus I can't control what he does." she defends as she grabs her shoes.

"'as if I was going to listen,' wait till dad finds out about this." I say bringing her attention quickly back toward me.

"if you tell dad, I will make them erase your memory." she threatens me making me shocked and confused.

"they can do that?!" i exclaim as she smiles and shrugs making her way out causing me to follow her.

"lina, where are you going?" I ask speed walking behind her.

"gonna make out with chase." she says looking behind her shoulder as I clench my jaw and stare at her as she grabs opens the door.

"im joking, im going to the davenport's." she states before slamming the door shut and leaving me there staring at the door in shock.

lina's pov:

i enter the lab being greeted by the three bionics wearing goggles and being entrapped in some sort of simulation. I make my way toward mr davenport and leo who are watching the action unravel through a monitor.

"hey lina." leo greets me as I go look up from the monitor and smile.

"hey leo, mr davenport." I say as mr davenport looks up from the monitor instantly.

"lina, thank god. adam cannot stop asking about you." mr davenport says under his breath as I tilt my head in confusion and slightly smile.

"why?" i ask but he is focused back on the monitor and takes out a key removing the trio out of the simulation.

"adam, that was the rebel leader, the whole purpose of today's mission was to interrogate him." mr davenport says as he holds up the key in slight disappointment while they take their goggles off.

"i did, and his answer was 'wahhhh!" adam explains as he demonstrates how the enemy went flying through the air. his demonstration stops as they turn around and adam makes eye contact with me.
