Chapter 1.
Mr. Davenport's POV.
I watched as Adam, Bree and Leo entered the kitchen to get their breakfast. Where was Chase?
"Guys? Where is Chase?" I asked as I picked up my coffee mug.
"He's still asleep." Bree said as she got the milk out of the fridge.
"That's weird. He normally wakes up early. Even on weekends." I said as I got another sip of coffee. Then I heard the sound of someone hurling coming from the lab. I ditched my coffee and ran down to the lab where I saw Chase hurling in my garbage can. I knelt down beside him and rubbed his back. After he finished hurling, I gently helped him off the floor and into Leo's desk chair.
"Chase? Are you ok?" I asked quietly as I put my hand on his forehead.
The poor kid was burning up! I grabbed the thermometer and put it in his mouth. After it beeped, I almost screamed. 102.5. Chase was running a high fever. He crossed his arms on the desk and laid his head down on them.
"Let's get you to a guest bed. You look terrible." I said as I picked up Chase bridal style and headed towards the elevator.
As I brought him through the living room, I was met with four gasps from Leo, Bree, Adam and Tasha. I promised a explanation as soon as I got back. I laid Chase down in a guest bed, grabbed the garbage can out of the bathroom and set it down beside the bed. Then I grabbed the blankets and put them on top of Chase. As soon as I got back, Tasha, Bree, Adam and Leo wanted to know what was wrong with Chase.
"He's sick. Adam, Bree, I need to put a block on your chips so you won't catch it. Come on." I said as I directed them downstairs to the lab. They quietly followed behind me and stepped into their capsules. I activated the block and then I used the heat sanitizer on Chase's capsule so when he got back in there, the germs would be dead. A few minutes later, Adam and Bree walked out of they're capsules and we all went back upstairs. I heard Chase hurling again and I ran in there to see that he had the trash can over his face, I gently rubbed his back as he continued to hurl in the garbage can. As soon as he was done, I got off his bed.
"It's so cold in here!" Chase yelled as he was shaking.
The kid was running a high fever, I wasn't gonna fight with him. I grabbed another blanket and spread it over him.
"Better?" I asked.
"Yeah." Chase said as his eyes closed.
I went downstairs and washed my hands, you can't exactly run a billion dollar company while you are sick, and I saw the kids and Tasha watching a movie. Looked like Bree picked the movie because the boys looked like they were trying not to die of boredom and Bree and Tasha were watching it eagerly. Then they saw I was in there and they paused the movie.
"Is Chase any better?" Bree asked.
"No. I'm gonna try and invent something that will speed up his recovery." I said as I went down to the lab.
Bree's POV.
"I'm gonna order out, I don't feel like cooking tonight." Tasha said.
I heard Chase yell Mr. Davenport's name, witch sounded terrible since he was horse and losing his voice. I ran up the stairs and saw that my baby brother looked terrible. His normally spiky hair was stuck to his face with sweat, he was pale and he looked the slightest bit green.
"Chase. Mr. Davenport is busy inventing something that will help you get better faster. What do you need?" I whispered.
I saw him look like he was gonna throw up again so I quickly handed him the garbage can right before he did so. As soon as he was done hurling, I helped him lay back down.
"I'm thirsty." He whispered.
"I don't know if you are allowed to drink anything yet, after all, you did just hurl." I explained as I got his hair out of his eyes.
"But my throat hurts. And I have a nasty taste in my mouth." Chase whined.
I had never heard Chase whine before. It was really upsetting and I had to keep myself from crying.
"I can ask Tasha, but I'm not sure if she'll let you drink anything." I said as I ran down the stairs and straight into Tasha.
"You have got to warn me first." Tasha yelled.
"It's about Chase. Are you really gonna get mad at me?" I asked.
"Good point. How is he?" Tasha asked.
"He just threw up...again and he says his throat hurts and that he's thirsty." I explained.
"He can have a very small sip of water, but warn him that it may make him throw up again." Tasha told me as she grabbed a paper cup and put like a eighth of a teaspoon in there and handed it to me.
I sped back upstairs and handed him the cup after I gave him the warning that Tasha told me to give him. He obviously didn't care as he grabbed the cup and swallowed the eighth of a teaspoon like the world was gonna end. I put my hand on his forehead.
"I think your fever is getting worse. I'm gonna go get the thermometer." I said as I sped back downstairs, grabbed the thermometer, sped back upstairs and put it in his mouth. After it beeped, I pulled it out and it said 103.2.
"That's not good." I said as I got Tasha and told her what happened.
"Chase. Maybe you should get a bath. It might help your fever go down." Tasha explained.
"Ok." He said.
Tasha walked into the bathroom to start the water and I went downstairs to realize I was gonna late for my shift at Tech Town. I used my super speed to change and sped out the door.
