She-Freak - Chase Davenport

twenty-two.

Thursday, 5th November 2015

A few days later, the mentors were in the common area when Leo walked two with two of the Krane girls.

- "Well, guys, it took a while, but we finally came up with S-1's new name." He explained.

- "We went through hundreds before we came up with the perfect one." S-1 added.

- "She's complicated." Alison said.

The eldest sister glared at her.

- "What is it?" Bree asked.

- "Charlotte." The middle brother replied.

- "Taylor." The Krane sisters, simultaneously, said.

The three looked at each other.

- "Right, Taylor. My... second choice." Leo sighed.

- "I like it." The Davenport girl smiled.

- "It suits you." Maddie added.

- "Yeah, great name." Chase said to his student.

- "Eh, it doesn't really matter to me. I didn't remember your other name, and I'm not gonna remember this one either." Adam snickered.

- "Hey guys." Donald walked towards them. "I have some very exciting news."

- "You're finally eligible for senior citizen discounts?" The tall guy asked.

- "No." The father, awkwardly, replied. "Maybe. I don't want to talk about it." The alien raised her eyebrows and opened her mouth. "Don't you dare." He pointed at her.

- "I wouldn't." The Matthews girl raised her hands.

- "Look... the President called, and he is honoring you guys with a prestigious award for completing mission number 1,000." The scientist explained.

- "That's awesome!" Taylor exclaimed. "Congratulations, guys!"

- "You deserve it." The blonde girl smiled.

- "Thanks, but technically, if you count all the missions where our bionics were still a secret, the number is actually 2,604." The genius boy nodded, happily. "But who's counting?" He shrugged.

Adorable. Maddie chuckled.

- "You are. That's all you do is count." Bree said, irritated.

- "I do not." The green hazel-eyed boy frowned.

- "It's how his brain works." The alien girl added. "It's not like he's choosing to count everything."

- "Exactly." Chase nodded. "But just for the record, that's the 53rd time that you've told me that." He smiled.

- "And a lot more behind your back." The Matthews girl said.

- "You, two, are exhausting." The Davenport girl replied.

- "Try having our brains. You'll see which side is more exhausting." Maddie frowned.

The genius boy put his hand behind her knee and, gently, caressed the back of her thigh.

The alien girl pressed her lips together. Shit.

The green hazel-eyed boy smirked as he continued.

- "This is going to be great!" The middle brother exclaimed. "It's about time I got honored for something. So, when is this little shin-dig?"

- "Uh, in a couple weeks. There's going to be a big fancy ceremony on the mainland. But the President's only honoring the original team, Adam, Bree, Chase and Maddison." Donald explained.
