Lab Rats: The New Rat

Chapter 22: True Meaning part 2

Delaynee's POV

I was infuriated! Why would they fake these messages? I needed to give them a piece of my mind. I was filled with rage. I tried just flat out opening the door and that didn't work.

I knew only one way out of here.... Spikette.

I had never accessed "her" without feeling hugely threatened but I think that this could do it.

I closed my eyes and let my anger build and build until I had reached my goal. Let's see how Douglas liked me now.

I saw logistics flashing in my vision and the door became a target. Its was like I could see option I could take and the probability that they would work. My top choice was using electricity to shorten the circuts of the door. It was obvious that the door has some electical wiring to it, or else I could've easily teleported out and escaped.

I let tension build in my hands, and slowly the gage in my vision filled. It was obviously for levels of electricity. I let it get to 80% before releasing it. It felt good to use my bionics. The jolt fried the door circuts and even made the lights in my room flicker. The door opened with ease. I looked around and nobody was to be found so far. I walked down the long hallway, hunting for blood. I had reached the main part of my prison where Douglas sat at a table reading the newpaper.

"Delaynee...? How did you get out of your room?" He asked, obviosly very confused.

"Doesn't matter. Why did you fake the messeges that I got in my capsule?" I demanded. The tone in my voice definately scared Douglas. He didn't have his usual fake smile or evil grin on his face. His emotions were hinting at worry.

"How did you know they were fake?" He asked.

"Adam's message. He prefers llamas and alpacas. He does not care for goats at ALL!" I said

He got even more worried. I had found a hole in his little plan

"Chase... Marcus... can ya get in here?" Douglas stuttered. I tingled with energy, anticipating the battle that would lay before me.

Chase and Marcus ran in the room together. Both staring at me.

"I'm going to ask one more time... why did you fake the messeges to the Davenports? If you want me to ask you again... things will become broken." I growled.

"Stop standing there like idiots... apprehend her!" Douglas commanded.

The two guys ran over to me and got in a ready stance.

"Oh, you know I don't fight tradionally." I growled. I unleshed some Plasma Electricity onto both of them, making them stand back and recover.

Chase was the first of them to come back for more. He swung at me with a haymaker. I immediatly caught it and let my Plasma Electricity out of it's cage. You have no idea how much I love that bionic. He seised and was violently shaking on the ground. I gave him just enough to face close to death. Marcus started attacking. He used his super stregth to give me a good push. I almost landed on Chase's still seizing body. I took only a few seconds to recover. He was trying to land a front kick and I teleported behind him. I put a hearty choke hold around his neck. He flipped me over, over his head (obvious use of super strength) and I landed hard on my back, few a slight crack. Nothing broken though. I swept him off his feet and were both on the ground. I bolted him with a lot of Plasma Electricity. I knew he was a Android and his circuts wouldn't take nicely to that.

I stood up to see Douglas who used to have a smile after I landed on the ground, to his face of pure terror.

"Delaynee, please stop. I want to talk." He said with some affirmness in his voice.

"Why? So you can lure me into a trap?" I said.

"Ok, fiesty. I know your in the Rage App, afterall I did create you. Just calm your heart rate and adrenaline levels so we can have a formal chat." He said.

I stared at him intensly. I was stuck in the middle. I really wanted to give him a good punch to the face, but what did he have to say?

"Ok fine." I said.

I closed my eyes. I tried to think of something happy. Well, I was happy with the Davenports. Adam and Bree had been so accepting of me, sort of replacing Chase when he went rouge. I was happy with Leo when he gave me a tour of the house and gave me something special. I hadn't really though about it until now. He had secretly given me a bracelet. He found it the day I was rescued. It was a small fabric bracelet with a light and dark blue intertwined. I felt it on my wrist.

I remember being happy with Tasha when we made breakfast together. I was happy when Mr. Davenport didn't give up on my training. Even though I sucked at hand to hand combat. I heavily relyed on my bionics.

I opened my eyes and all the statistics were gone. The words "Rage App Disengaged" flashed in a red across my vision.

"Ok, lets go to the living room and sit." Douglas said.

We got to the small room with a couch and a TV. We both sat down. This conversation seemed like a big thing for Douglas.

"Delaynee, I just want to apoogize for all the horrible things I've done to you. When Donald took Adam, Bree and Chase from me, I was heartbroken. I was using them as bionic soldiers, but they were still my kids. I was depressed around that time, and thats why I sunk into so much evil. I thought that could fill the hole in my heart. It didn't. The only thing I could think of was to get another kid. This time I would do it differently. No bionics, no evil with them. You honestly weren't supposed to be bionic. I just wanted a child I could love and I wouldn't have to worry about them going on missons like Donald was making them do. Now I guess... I just want my kid back." Douglas said.

Woah. I wasn't prepared to hear this. I felt a mix of emotions.

"Why exactly did you lock me in a cage for all my life." I asked.

Not exactly how you care for a child.

"Like I said, you weren't supposed to be bionic. I had created another chip for other purposes. You were sitting the chair were the chip inserter was. You had the bionics implanted and I cried that entire night. I couldn't get them out. You also couldn't control that powerful of bionics. The laser cage protected you from hurting yourself and myself. I was ashamed to show my face around you anymore." He continued with his little speech.

"What are you saying?" I asked.

"I want to start over. If you want, I would love if you came to live with me. No bionics, no drama and you can have a norma life, go to school, have friends."

My heart stopped.

What was I going to say?
