Ok so next chapter. I hope you enjoy it.
*Kick into overdrive*
Courtney's POV:
Me and my team are picking up a book for Mr. Hartford. Will is not happy and is really beginning to bug me.
"A waste of man power," he says and I roll my eyes. "Why would Andrew send the six of us to grab a single book when I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself?"
I am getting annoyed with his me, me, me attitude all the time.
"Think of it like a field trip," Rose says.
"If there's one thing I know about my dad," Mack says from beside me. "He's got a reason for everything."
I sigh. Fathers are a sore subject for me right now. Dad hasn't gone back to rootcore. He keeps waiting for me to use my magic.
"Yeah well," I say thinking about my father. "Some fathers will not give in till they get what they want."
Mack nods his head.
"Hey guys," Dax says and we all look to him. "Check this out."
He does a hand stand on a wall. He then goes into a cartwheel and lands on his feet on the others side.
We all clap in praise.
"That was awesome!!" Ronny says.
Will doesn't say anything just walks away. We follow him to see he saved a man in broad daylight. Has he ever heard of secret identity?
"Hey," Ronny says annoyed. "What's the big idea of running off without us?"
I nod my head. "And you shouldn't morph and demorph like that."
"Sorry guys," Will says but he doesn't sound very sorry. "But I'm used to working alone. What can I say? I'm a one man show."
He smirks and begins to walk off.
"I'm gonna punch him," I warn my friends.
Mack pats me on the shoulder and we begin to follow Will as we head back to the base.
"Oh, good you're back," Mr. Hartford says as we walk down into the base. "While using the satellite to comb the ocean floor, I think I found something of interest."
Dad glances over at me. I give him half a smile. We all notice what Mr. Hartford has in his hands.
"That's the same book," Will points out. "You sent us to get a book you already have."
"I thought I misplaced it," Mr. Hartford says. "Thanks, anyway. Good job."
"What did you find dad?" Mack asks.
Dad presses a few buttons on the control and an image comes us.
"Atlantis?" Rose asks for confirmation.
"We're not entirely sure," dad says. "But we think so."
"Look at this," Mr. Hartford says going over to the globe and pointing something out to us. "If the telemetry is correct, these ruins are over 10,000 years old."
"So what?" Ronny asks. "My socks are that old."
"Atlantis was the domain of Neptune, god of the sea," Rose explains.
"And a possible resting place for one of the jewels," Mr. Hartford agrees with her. "I'm getting a very faint jewel signature here."
"Looks like we're going swimming," Dax says and I laugh at his enthusiasm.
