The One With the Robot Fight Club

Delta's POV:

After breakfast, Zadie and I headed over to the Davenports. Nothing unusual there. Except when we walked into the lab, everyone was dressed in karate uniforms.

I smiled, looking at Zadie and Leo.

"You guys remember when we used to do karate?"

"Yeah," Zadie nodded. "Until we were asked to not come back."

Davenport looked up. "Why were you asked to not come back?"

"Leo broke his arm," Zadie said casually.

Chase looked at her. "How did that get you kicked out?"

"I was the one who broke it."

Chase stared at her for a second. "You know, sometimes I forget you're terrifying."

Zadie smiled. "That's part of my charm."

Before Davenport could respond, his phone started ringing.

"I have to take this. It's about money. Which is not more important than you, but is a very close second."

He walked away, leaving us alone.

"Hey, Adam," Chase said. "Attack me."

Adam looked confused. your hair is stupid, you're too short..."

"I meant hit me."

"Okay, good 'cause that was gonna be a really long list."

Zadie crossed her arms. "Chase, I know I'm supposed to be a supportive girlfriend, but Adam's Goliath and you're David."

"Yeah," I added. "Adam is like ten times stronger than you."

"Doesn't matter," Chase said confidently. "With Iketo, a weak opponent can defeat a much stronger one."

"Oh, but what if the weaker one fits neatly into an overhead storage bin?" Adam asked. He pointed at Chase. "I'm talking about you."

"Just hit me!" Chase snapped.

Adam swung at him.

Chase ducked, grabbed Adam's arm, and flipped him onto the mat.

Zadie's mouth dropped open.

"Whoa. Never mind what I said. You go, babe!"

Chase pointed at her as he walked away from Adam, "And that's all you need to know about Iketo."

"Oh, I get it," Bree stepped forward, flipping Chase onto the mat.

He stared up at her.

"Bree, that's not Iketo."

"Really?" She shrugged. "My bad."

She and Adam immediately high-fived.

I shook my head, laughing, as Adam grabbed his things.

"Come on, Delta. We're gonna be late."

I followed him upstairs, already looking forward to our brunch date.

Zadie's POV:

It was just me and Chase left in the lab when Leo came rushing back in.

"Chase, I need your help. The annual Mission Creek Robot Throwdown is coming up."

Chase sighed, "Leo, for the last time, I'm not a robot. I'm a man."

I looked at Chase. Seriously?

"One day, I'll be a man."

"I'm not talking about you," Leo said. "It's a competition where remote controlled robots fight to the death."
