"So are we done here Donald?" Leo asked Mr. Davenport while removing the simulation glasses. Mr. Davenport looked up at him from his desk and asked, "Why are you in such a rush?"
Leo looked up at the ceiling and that's when a look of realization crossed his face.
"Oh, you want to go check up on your sister. Well then yes training is over."
In less than a second, Leo was out of sight.

There in the living room, Chase was cuddling with Catlin. Well not exactly cuddling, more like bieng tied down as Catlin layed on Chase's chest. Mia made no attempt to help him in any way.
After all, he deserves it.
When Leo had entered the room, Chase looked at him relieved and asked him, "Can you...?"
In about ten minutes he was untied while Catlin left extremely angry yet very content.
"Thanks Leo," Chase said sucking in a deep breath.
Leo patted his back and responded, "Don't mention it."
He sat down with Mia while Chase just stood there awkwardly and left. When the door closed Mia yelled, "Yes! He's gone."
Leo laughed at her childish action and asked her, "Why are you so relieved?"
"Have you no mind! He's so shallow and I bet that everything Catlin and I were talking about is going to be told to everyone at school."
Leo gave her an amused look and returned his attention to the TV taking some popcorn in the process. That's when a scary thought crossed his mind. In almost every single relationship it usually starts out with the couple usually hating eachother but once they get to know eachother-
Leo shook his head from that terrifying thought and continued to watch television with his sister. He would never in a million years let that happen, she deserves better than a Henderson.

"Ugh I can't believe I'm failing Math!" Shrieked Bree looking at her report card.
Her best friend Danielle looked at her blankly and asked, "You care if you fail?"
"Of course I care!"
Danielle backed away from the angry brunette, scared to do anything that might upset her. Adam passed her his report card and she glared at him as well.
"How are you passing all your classes? " She growled at him as Adam just shrugged.
"A fail is something that-"
"Cut it with the poetry crap Adam! How did you pass almost all your classes with a C. Your stupider than me!" Shrieked Bree, catching everyone's attention. If it was anyone else she was yelling at they would have ran away and cried but no, this is her brother so he was use to her angry outbursts.
"Just ask principal Perry to give you a tutor since finals are coming up soon or get one yourself. It shouldn't be hard," Suggested Danielle putting on another layer of lip gloss.
Bree sighed loudly, "How am I going to find a nerd who can help me...study? Every geek in this school hates me!"
Adam shrugged, "Ask Leo. He's one of the schools biggest nerds and coincidentally one of the nicest."
Bree looked at the direction that he was pointing at and cringed. The scrawny looking African American kid who has no social life whatsoever and horrible taste in fashion as her tutor, no way. Danielle read her face like an open book and said, "The finals are coming up soon Bree. It's either him or fail the semester and repeat the class next year."
Bree gulped loudly as Danielle shoved her in his direction.
The sounds of her heels clicked against the tile floor as she made her way towards her direction.
Leo already knew why she was coming from over hearing her conversation with her brother and best friend and lets just say super speeding out of school is not an option. When the clacking of her heels came to a complete stop, Leo gulped loudly and turned around hoping the snarky girl could just disappear.
"Hey Leo," Bree greeted with fake enthusiasm.
Leo looked at her blankly, "I am not helping you study."
Bree gasped and asked a shocked 'why' as he exclaimed, "To many people have asked and by the way, I'm way too busy after school to help tutor anyone."
Well it wasn't a lie, it was true.
He really was busy after school and many people had asked him already, but he still had to train. Though his sister would object.
Leo could almost feel his sister smack him in the shoulder and say yes for him. Even if it's his good nature coming out he still couldn't do I-
"I guess I could make room for you."
-wait what?
Did he just say that?
'I'm becoming too nice' he thought when she squealed but stopped abruptly and walked away.
This was going to be a long year.

"Hey I'm home!" Announced Leo. When he looked inside he was surprised to see his mom actually cooking dinner. The last time she did that was when he was 13 and she was just 'in the mood' which is another term for 'I've met someone'.
"Mom? What are you doing? " Leo asked placing his backpack on the sofa.
"She's making dinner? " asked Mia confused while coming out from the lab with her crutches.
Leo nodded, as Tasha giggled. Tasha never giggles.
Okay something was definitely up.
"Yes, I'm making dinner. I thought about how I don't spend enough time with you guys."
Leo arched his eyebrow at his mother as Mia sat down across from Tasha.
"Mom are you dating someone? " Leo asked Tasha almost amused.
Mia smirked at her, "Ooh, look who's back in the dating game."
Tasha smiled genuinely at them and said blushing, "Why yes I am thinking of dating again. I mean I think it's time for me to 'get back on the satchel' as they say."
Leo and Mia both rolled their eyes at Tasha but laughed.
These were the moments they treasured together and even though they didn't want to admit it they missed these moments. Maybe this year won't be that bad, change is good...sometimes...
