Only You Can Afford My Love// A Chase Davenport Love Story

One of Us

I'm back from vacation!! Also, happy Mother's Day! 

Juliana's P.O.V.

I was working with Douglas when Adam, Bree, and Chase stormed into the main room.

"Douglas, Juliana, have you seen Leo? Chase asked. "He's late for training."

"Why don't you just call him?" Douglas suggested.

"Ah, too much work, let's just kick him out of the academy," Adam concluded.

"I don't think we can kick him out just yet," I said as I called Leo on the monitor.

"Hello," Leo said as he answered. 

My eyes widened as soon as he appeared on the screen. He was at home in Mission Creek! 

"Leo, what're you doing back at Mission Creek?" Chase asked. "You're supposed to be here for training."

"Sorry, I had to pop back and deal with a little situation," Leo explained. "Janelle missed me. You ladies can be so needy."

"She threatened to break up with you, didn't she?" I asked.

"It was implied." The doorbell rang and Leo screamed. "She's here!"

The call ended and I chuckled as I shook my head.

"Can you believe him?" Chase asked, obviously ticked off. "Skipping his training to hang out with a girl."

"You might understand better one day when you decide to let loose for once," Adam said, putting a hand on Chase's shoulder.

"For your information, later today Juliana and I will be online gaming."

"We're playing Call of Duty," I said with a grin, and we fist-bumped.

I heard the hydroloop approaching, so I turned to see who was arriving. To my surprise, it was Krane's soldier, S1!

"Dah!" Douglas exclaimed. "It's her!"

Everyone got into fighting stances, except for Adam, who approached S1. "Hey, you look familiar, do I know you from somewhere?" He asked.

"Adam, that's S1," Chase stated. "Krane's lead soldier, she tried to destroy us."

"Oh yeah." He leaned down toward S1. "What do you say we finish the job and get out of here?"

I couldn't help but laugh. Poor Adam, having to flirt with the enemy to get a date.

"What're you doing here?" Chase asked S1.

"I figured that since this is the Bionic Academy, you might be the only people who can help," S1 said. "Something's wrong with me."

"Yeah, we already know that, psycho Sally," Bree said sarcastically. "You tried to crush Leo and take us all out."

"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Guys," I spoke up. "She was mind controlled just like all the others, so she's a blank slate like the others were too."

"Why weren't you rounded up with everyone else?" Chase asked S1.

"All I know is that I woke up in a field and this family found me and took me in," S1 explained. "And when they discovered I was bionic they freaked out, so I ran away and I've been hiding ever since."

"I don't believe her," Bree stated.

"Why would she lie?" Douglas asked. "Krane's no longer controlling her mind with the Triton app, so she has no reason to be evil."
