The next week, Leo walked in the house holding a box full of magazines.

- "Good news, my famous bionic and alien peeps." He smiled. "Your new PR guy came through big time."

- "Please tell me it's not another celebrity game show. We always lose against you and Mads." Chase replied.

- "That's because we are so good." Maddie wrapped her arm around her childhood best friend's shoulders.

- "Probably because one of us always hits the buzzer too soon and doesn't know the answer!" Bree yelled.

The genius boy pointed at his eldest brother.

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

- "You remember that big magazine interview I got you guys? The article just came out thanks to yours truly." The shorter boy smirked. "Leo Davenport of Davenport Entertainment, the subsidiary of Leo Corp."

The trio got up and walked up to the childhood best friends to take a magazine each.

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

- "Cool!" The tall guy smiled.

- "Wait, I want to see!" The bionic girl said, excited.

- "You forced me to do this interview. I don't like being the center of attention." The alien girl sighed.

- "Yeah, well, now you are. So deal with it." The middle brother replied.

The team started skimming the magazines.

- "Wait, the reporter interviewed all of us! Why is Adam the only one on the cover?!" The Davenport girl asked, in disbelief.

The eldest laughed.

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

- "Ah, finally, someone gets how things work around here!" Adam smirked and sat on the couch.

- "Hold on, listen to this." Bree said. "'Along with Adam's little brother, the two girls help him on missions'! It's like you, guys, and I barely even exist!"

I don't mind. The Matthews girl thought.

- "What are you talking about? You guys are mentioned right here." The tall guy replied. "See? 'Bree and Chase Davenport and Maddison Matthews, not pictured'."

- "Hey guys." Donald walked in. "What's going on?"

- "This article totally misrepresents how our team works. People are going to think that Adam is the only one who does anything." The genius boy explained.

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

The three youngest of the team rolled their eyes.

- "Guys don't worry about it. The media distorts everything. I mean, one time, an article said that I was self-absorbed." The father laughed. "Look, the important thing is that you know the truth about who you are and what you do." He patted his youngest son's shoulder.

- "'We also spoke to Leo Davenport, the bionic team's brilliant mastermind'." The green hazel-eyed boy read.

- "What? That's it! I'm calling my lawyer!" The scientist yelled and walked out of the room.

- "I'm gonna give a copy to Zack." Adam smiled and took a magazine, before walking out.

They're cute. Maddie smiled.
