The next day, the four siblings walked in the living room where their father was standing, next to a sheet, hiding something.

- "Hey, guys, check this out." Donald said. "I picked this up at auction today, and it only cost me a million dollars."

- "Wha...? For a sheet?" Adam asked, in disbelief. "Well, I guess I'd better start saving up if I'm gonna be a ghost for Halloween, next year."

Chase shook his head, in despair.

- "It's a painting, Adam, by a very famous artist named Von Schtopp." The scientist explained as he unveiled the painting.

It's hideous. The genius boy thought.

- "Hm. I wish I would have been there to 'Von Schtopp' you from buying it." Leo replied.

Agreed. The green hazel-eyed boy nodded.

- "What is it?" The tall guy asked.

- "It's abstract art, Adam. It's whatever you think it is." The father explained.

- "I think it's a crying woman." Bree said.

- "I think it's a storm at sea." The youngest Davenport replied.

- "I think someone just blew a million bucks." The short boy answered.

Donald's phone rang.

- "That's me. Davenport Industries." He smirked, before answering.

Yeah, we know. Chase thought.

- "Hello?" The scientist replied in his hone. "Uh-huh. Oh, boy. All right." He hung up. "Looks like I've got to put out a fire at work."

- "What happened?" The genius boy asked.

- "Betty from accounting got her head caught in the positron collider again." The father explained.

The teenagers grimaced.

- "Ooh!" The green hazel-eyed boy exclaimed.

- "That's gonna be messy. Can you guys put that in the art vault for me?" Donald asked.

- "Wait, you have an art vault?" The Dooley boy questioned.

- "When are you guys gonna learn? I have a everything." The scientist chuckled. "But whatever you do, do not touch the Davenportraits." He said, firmly, before walking away.

- "What's a Davenportrait?" Leo frowned.

A few minutes later, the four teenagers were standing in the art vault, looking at the Davenportraits.

- "Am I screaming out loud, or just inside my head?" Leo asked as he held his head.

- "I'm just gonna say it: Davenport is one weird dude." Chase said.

- "Ah." Adam put the new painting on a stand. "Voilà. The Von Schto..." He started to sneeze and turned towards his siblings.

- "Ew, gross, gross, gross...!" Bree exclaimed.

- "No. No. No." The genius boy replied.

- "Turn around! Not on me!" The short boy yelled.

The tall guy sneezed and accidentally triggered his heat vision, which burned a hole through the painting.

- "Whoa." He frowned.

- "Adam, what did you do?" The green hazel-eyed boy asked, in panic.

- "Oh, I think that sneeze accidentally triggered my heat vision." The oldest Davenport replied.
