Chapter seven.
"Alright, Gisele is in my most remote facility on a little island in the arctic ocean." Mr. Davenport said turning off his cyber desk.
"How's the security?" Bree asked.
"24 hours and it's super tight." Mr. Davenport said.
"So we don't have to worry about killer robots anymore, right?" Leo asked.
"We thought that about a certain someone who will remain nameless and look what happened." Mr. Davenport said.
"Blame Krane!" Douglas exclaimed from the other room.
"My point is, Gisele might escape, so keep a eye out." Mr. Davenport said.
"Wait, what was that remote?" Chase asked.
"I honestly don't know." Mr. Davenport said.
Later.
"Today's class, the bionic training simulator. You put on these glasses, stand on this stand and there is a digital mission inside. I'm gonna separate you in teams. This is a way to test bionics along with teamwork. These are randomly selected teams so that we know how well you can work with anyone in any environment, the environments are randomly generated so don't believe what one team says because you'll have a completely different mission. The missions are all combat missions but with different purposes. So, teams of two. You'll strengthen each other's strong points and cover each other's weak points. The teams list is on the wall and in order of first to last." Chase said.
"Why do we, like, always have to listen to his, like, lectures before we start?" Nicki, one of the girls asked.
"He's just preparing us for the class." Selena said.
"Right, but if you, like, messed up, Chase would, like, let you, like, get away with it." Nicki said.
"He's just as hard on me as he is on you." Selena said.
"Sure new kid who's, like, name I, like, can't even remember." Nicki said.
Selena hated Nicki, even though she had all the abilities in her chip, Krane always made Nicki go on every mission of destruction, and even though they weren't evil anymore and Nicki didn't remember who she was, Nicki was always trying to make her life miserable while making it seem like a accident.
Selena's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Nicki shrieking.
"Nicki, what's wrong?" Selena asked.
Nicki pointed at the list and looked like she was about to faint.
Chase had pared Selena and Nicki together.
"Alright, Selena, Nicki, you two are in Florida at a gas station when four hundred men start attacking you, your mission, interrogate the leader, once you find him of course." Chase said.
Nicki and Selena put on the glasses and suddenly they were in Florida.
"Alright Nicki, the leader is near the back, I'll use my blast wave to take the others out. You find the leader." Selena said.
"No, I'll use my, like, blast wave, you, like, find the leader." Nicki said.
"Ok, I'll give you the signal to fire when I find him and get out of your way." Selena said.
"Got, like, it." Nicki said.
Selena ran around the men looking for the leader.
Nicki got ready.
Selena grabbed the leader but before Selena got out of the way, Nicki blasted her.
Selena rolled and fell off the stand.
"Selena!" Chase exclaimed running toward her tripping over his feet.
"I'm so, like, sorry, it was, like, a complete accident." Nicki said taking off her glasses.
Chase stood up and ran toward the screen.
Bree answered it.
"Chase what's wrong? You look really pale." Bree said.
"Get Mr. Davenport or Douglas or somebody or both, I don't know just somebody." Chase rattled off.
"Ok, it's bad when you say I don't know, I'm gonna get Mr. Davenport. Be right back." Bree said, super speeding off.
"What happened?" Mr. Davenport asked opening the door.
"Nicki accidentally hit Selena with a blast wave pretty hard." Chase said.
"Class is dismissed." Mr. Davenport said.
"I'm, like, really sorry Mr. Davenport." Nicki said.
"It's ok Nicki. Chase, help me get her to the infirmary." Mr. Davenport.
Later.
Chase was pacing outside of the infirmary door when Mr. Davenport came out.
"How is she?" Chase asked.
"She'll be fine, it short circuited her chip, but that's just another Thursday." Mr. Davenport said.
"So she'll be fine?" Chase asked.
"She will be absolutely fine by tomorrow." Mr. Davenport said.
"That's a relief. Why did you freak out Mr. Davenport?" Chase asked.
"Selena's chip is so full of bionics that it's really sensitive, I thought it fried her chip, but thankfully it didn't. Why did you freak out Chase?" Mr. Davenport asked.
Chase hadn't told Mr. Davenport about his and Selena's relationship.
"Selena and I might have a little thing going on." Chase admitted.
"Chase! I've told you three a thousand times, I don't want students and teachers dating. If you start going easy on her then she won't get the training that is crucial to her and she'll get killed on a mission, I can't believe you of all people would do this first and not Bree or Adam." Mr. Davenport said.
"Mr. Davenport, I know what I'm doing." Chase said.
"I don't doubt that, but if I find out you are going easy on her, then you will be in big trouble. Do you understand me Chase?" Mr. Davenport asked.
"Yeah." Chase said.
"Good, I'm simply trying to protect all of you. Alright?" Mr. Davenport asked.
"Yeah." Chase said.
I'm glad you understand." Mr. Davenport said walking off.
Chase went into the infirmary.
Selena was sitting in a chair with a glass of water beside her and she was reading a book.
"Hey." Chase said sitting in a chair beside her.
"Hey." Selena said putting the book down.
"I'm so sorry Selena." Chase said.
"It wasn't your fault Chase, you've gotta learn from your mistakes." Selena said.
"That's just it. I don't make mistakes, I'm the smartest person on the earth." Chase said.
"Don't blame yourself, blame Nicki." Selena said.
"Nicki? She apologized twice." Chase said.
"Nicki's been after me since our day's working for Krane. I'm the more powerful one but she was the favorite. So ever since, she's been trying to get rid of me." Selena said.
"Are you serious?" Chase asked.
"Very. I'm not like you Chase, I'm more like Leo, I wasn't created in a lab, I was born like any other human and got bionics later on." Selena said.
"I'm sorry, if I had known, I would have never pared you two together." Chase said.
"No biggie." Selena said.
"So what does Nicki have against you?" Chase asked.
"Nicki doesn't like people who are different. She only wanted those who were like her. Perfect lab creations." Selena said.
"There is no such thing as a perfect lab creation. And that's coming from the person who is always being told he has a tiny doll-like body." Chase said.
Selena giggled.
"No one should treat you like that, in fact, I'm gonna change all of Nicki's classes." Chase said.
"You would do that for me?" Selena asked.
"I've been through this also, you don't know how many times I wanted to sneak into principal Perry's office and switch mine and Trent's classes." Chase said.
"I didn't think you would have been bullied." Selena said.
"It's always the smart ones who are bullied." Chase said.
Looking back on this, I realized it was a filler chap.
