Welcome Home
Dani sat in the chair reading her book when three teenagers came in. She made herself invisible and watched them with a smirk on her face as Marcus walked through the door. Then Dani narrowed her eyes.
"Guys?! What're you doing here?!" The man in the trap yelled and Dani's smirk grew.
"We're here to save you!" The teenage girl yelled and Dani laughed to herself.
She got up and became visible again as she stood next to Marcus, making him lower his hand. "Not now, dear brother. Not yet. Wait until Davenport gets here." Dani said and the three teenagers turned around.
"Who are you?" The girl asked.
Dani smirked. "Your worst nightmare."
Then the man in the trap said, "Douglas?"
Dani's eyes went wide as Marcus smirked at her.
"Hello Brother." Douglas Davenport said and Dani suddenly shrunk herself. "Danielle, get back here!" Doug yelled and she came back to normal size.
She rolled her eyes and turned around to look at Davenport. "Yes?" She said like she was bored.
"Attack."
Dani smirked. "You got it chief."
Suddenly, the three teenagers were in fighting position. Marcus zapped them all as Dani put them in the trap with the other Davenport with her mind control.
"So what do we do now?" Marcus asked.
Dani elbowed him, "Don't ask!"
Marcus rubbed his side and grimaced as Douglas walked closer to his brother and struck up a conversation.
Then the smaller boy was up. "Who are you?" he whispered and Dani smirked.
"An enemy. You don't want to mess with me." Dani whispered back and the boy sat down.
Hours passed and the lab was destroyed. Dani pushed the rubble off of her and looked around at the mess. "Oh, I'm so out of here. Finally!" She said and sped away, not even caring to look for the robot she was supposed to call her brother. She ran as far as she could until needing a break. Suddenly, a mansion came into view and she picked up speed, knocking on the door.
"Who is it?" A woman's voice yelled.
"A friend from school!" Dani yelled. The woman came running to the door. Normals...they always believe everything. The woman gestured to come in. Soon, they were having tea in the kitchen as the Normal boy from earlier walked in.
"AHHH!" he yelled and Dani smirked at him. "You!" he yelled and the woman named Tasha scolded him.
"Leo, that's no way to treat our guest. Now go get Donald and tell him to come up here, he's got a fan." Tasha smiled and Dani smirked at Leo. He ran and soon came back up with Donald Davenport. "Donald, this is Danielle and she's a huge fan of yours." Tasha said and Dani smiled.
Davenport's reaction was the same as Leo's "You?!-You, can I talk to you downstairs?" Davenport asked and Dani followed him.
"What are you doing here?!" he asked and Dani smirked, sitting on the lab table.
"Well, you see, after you blew up the lab, I ran away and came here because I had no where's else to go."
"Yeah, well I'm sending you away. You're not staying here!"
"Why not?!" Dani protested, not understanding. "You owe me a favor! You left me and took those three idiots years ago. And you're choosing them over me again?! That really hurts, Donny. It really hurts." Dani said, holding her hand over her chest, pretending to sound wounded.
"Fine. You can stay here. But you can't tell Adam, Bree and Chase who you really are. They'll kill me if they find out that I didn't take you with me when I took them from Douglas' lab." Dani nodded solemnly. Little did they know that Adam, Bree and Chase where around the corner, listening to their conversation.
-after dinner-
Dani's POV
I was sitting in the lab, reading my unfinished book as Adam, Bree, Chase and Leo approached me. "Oh, hey guys." I said, smiling and putting my book down.
"We know about you and we know who you are, why are you here?" Leo asked and I smiled.
"I'm staying here for a while, is that alright with you guys?" I asked, faking the sweetness in my voice.
"We know you're faking!" Adam said loudly and I scowled.
"Look here, brats, I don't want to be near any of you. I'm much stronger, much faster and much smarter than all of you combined. Just leave me alone." I said, frustratedly and picked my book up again.
Adam, Bree and Leo stormed off but Chase stayed behind. "I know you're faking all that." he said softly and I looked up at him.
"I'm not," I said harshly, trying to disguise the pain in my voice.
"You're acting tough because you feel you have to. You don't." he said and I sighed, putting my book down again.
"Chase, look, you're sweet and all, but I'm not someone you should be talking to. I'm more of a freak than the three of you combined. So don't try whatever you thought you were going to try on me. It's not going to work because I can't be broken."
Chase walked away and I picked up my book, going to find a nice place to sleep.
"Uh-uh-uhh." Eddy the computer screen said and locked the doors so I couldn't go anywheres. "Donny said that you have to stay down here until he comes down."
"But Eddy, I have to go find a place to sleep..." I said and Davenport walked in.
"Already done, no need for a capsule, right? Your room's upstairs and the fourth door to the right." I thanked him and headed upstairs. Inside was a blue room, decorated the way I liked. Which was strange. There was even a large bed in there. I closed the door and climbed into the bed, quickly falling asleep.
I woke up the next morning, changed my clothes and headed downstairs. I grabbed something out of the fridge to eat and then sat at the counter. In less than a minute, Adam, Bree, Chase and Leo were grabbing their own breakfasts. Leo, Adam and Bree all glared at me while Chase looked at me softly. I lowered my gaze to the book in my hand and opened it up to read.
"Whatcha got there?" Chase asked from behind me.
"Go away, Chase." I said and kept reading.
"What book is it?" he asked again and I looked up at him.
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Now go away. Don't you have school or something?" I asked and he shook his head.
"Today's Saturday."
I frowned. "I always had school on Saturday. No fair!" I mumbled and Leo smirked.
"That's what you get for being rude and heartless." He said and glared at me.
"Is that really what you think of me?" I asked, smirking, but I knew they heard the pain in my voice.
"Yeah, what else would we think of you?!" Adam asked as I frowned. "Well I don't know, I was hoping something nice! You know, I've been cooped up in a house for 15 years, so I don't know how to act around people! That's how the other Davenport always acted so I-" Suddenly, I was cut off from my rampage as Davenport covered my mouth with his hand.
"So basically, she says she's sorry for how she acted and will try to be nicer." he said and I bit his hand. He pulled back immediately and yelled, "OW!"
I smirked. "And that was payback for cutting me off." I said and grabbed my book again, and sat down on the couch to read. Nobody bothered me for the rest of the day until Bree sat next to me.
"Hey, um I was wondering if you wanted to go to the mall? I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to-"
"Sure, I'd love to go!" I said happily and she smiled.
"Yay! Let me just grab Mr. Davenport's wallet..." She sped off only to quickly come back with Davenport's wallet in her hands. "Okay, let's go." She said happily and I nodded.
"Race ya!" I exclaimed, getting a head start and we raced to the mall. Of course, I beat her there.
A couple hours later, we came back in laughing and talking like old friends.
"And I used to make Marcus run up the walls after training to see if he could stick. He couldn't." I said and Bree and I laughed. We set our bags down in the living room and headed into the kitchen. I sat at the counter as Bree dug through the fridge.
"Bree, where's my wallet?" Mr. Davenport asked and I smirked as Bree handed over the empty wallet.
"Yeah, we kinda went shopping." She smiled, as Davenport looked like he was about to blow.
"But, they'll train a little harder to make up for it!" Chase said, trying to save our butts.
Bree and I both nodded and Davenport stomped away.
"You two have to be more careful." Chase said and Bree and I shrugged it off, grabbing our bags and going downstairs to show them off. Adam and Leo were having a burping war.
"You're both doing it wrong, it's more like this," I said, letting out a very large belch and they both stared.
"It comes from the gut." I said, patting my stomach and Bree high-five'd me.
"You gotta teach me how to do that!" Adam said and I smiled.
"Maybe later, right now Bree and I are having a fashion show, you boys wanna watch?" I asked and they nodded.
Bree and I held a little fashion show, showing off our new and expensive clothes. Suddenly, Chase joined the boys downstairs and had my book in his hand. I flashed behind him and held out my hand. "Book." I said sternly and he smirked at me. "Book." I said again and he held the book over his head.
"What're you gonna do about it now?" he taunted and I smirked. I used my telekinesis to bring my book down to me.
"How'd you do that?" Chase asked.
"I have all of your abilities combined plus a few more." I smirked. They were way too surprised by this.
Leo threw his hands up. "Great, another bionic!" He walked out of the room, angry.
"Really?" Adam asked and I nodded. "
I've got your strength, Adam. Bree's speed, and Chase's intelligence. Times two." I smirked.
Chase looked dumbfounded. "Not possible. I'm the smartest person on the planet," he said and I smirked.
"You keep telling yourself that," I sing-songed and he glared at me. I laughed and hit his arm.
"Hey, can you two stop flirting, I'm trying to eat my burrito!" Adam said loudly and I looked at him.
"That was not flirting!" Chase and I exclaimed at the exact same time.
"If it wasn't flirting, then I don't know what it was." Bree said and smirked.
I rolled my eyes and clutched my book in my hand. "You guys think all you want, I'm going upstairs to my room to get some sleep." I gave a small wave, grabbed my bags of clothes and tried to go upstairs as just as Marcus showed up on Eddy's screen.
"Dani... I'm coming for you..." he said in a mock sing-sog voice and I rolled my eyes.
"Back off, Marcus, I'm done playing in your little games."
"Yeah, well we're not done with you. Meet me by the school, 7 p.m. tonight."
I rolled my eyes but agreed. "And to let you know, Marcus, I'll be making sure you're a gonner." I said harshly and Eddy cut the conference.
"Whoa! You only have half an hour, what're you going to do!?" Adam asked and I sighed and put my book down.
"To be honest, I don't even know. I don't know what he's trying to do but I need you four to stay here. Inform Davenport that I'm going out to meet Marcus and that Douglas will probably be coming here to capture you guys again. So just stay down here and out of sight."
They nodded and Chase grabbed my arm. "You'll be needing this," He said putting a small device in my hand.
I looked at it and then up at him. "What's this?" I asked and he shrugged.
"Just something Davenport's been working on for a while." I nodded and pressed the only button on it. Suddenly, it tased Chase and I laughed.
"Looks like I will be needing this, thanks Chase." I said, but he was on the floor.
"Go, we'll wory about him, but right now you need to meet up with Marcus!" Bree yelled and I super-sped to the school.
"Thought you weren't going to show," he said and I gave out a harsh laugh.
"You thought that? Well, I see you underestimate me, dear brother." I said and flicked my hand, sending him spiraling backwards. He groaned and sat up. He got up quickly and I laughed maniacally. "You were always dead to me," I said and Marcus ran at me. I pulled out the device Chase gave me and stuck it to Marcus's stomach. I pressed the button and he immediately fell to the ground. I kicked his head lightly and it rolled over.
I had an expressionless face because I knew the small ity bity device had overpowered Marcus's entire system. I grabbed the device and grabbed the hand of the robot I used to call my brother. I ran at sonic speed, back to the Davenport house hold, and then used my laser vision to mark the outline of a hole in the ground. I started digging, knowing somebody was watching me, and then placed Marcus' body inside the hole, quickly covering it up. I knew it was Chase who was watching me as I got up and walked towards him.
"That was really nice of you," he said and I shrugged, pretending to sniffle.
"Yeah, well, I called him a brother for 15 years and he always had my back until now. It's the least I can do." He nodded and we walked inside.
I saw Douglas tied up and sitting on the couch and I pretended to pout "Aww, did somebody get in twouble?" He glared at me and I smirked.
Bree suddenly stood beside me and nudged me. "Good job of taking down Marcus, we saw the entire thing." she said and I gave her a confused look.
"You did?"
She nodded, "The taser device was not only and override, but also a camera."
I nodded understandingly, "Awesome!" She smiled and looked at the younger, tied up Davenport on the couch. "Somebody must be in time out." I said, fake pouting and he glared at me again.
"When I get released from jail, I'll be back for you Dani, you better watch your back!" he yelled as policemen dragged him out of the house.
I high-fived Adam, Bree and Chase. Then I looked around. "Where's Leo?" I asked and they all shrugged but we ran to the lab to see Leo hanging upside down by his feet.
He waved his arms. "Hey guys! Can somebody get me down from here!?" he yelled. I laughed and used my telekinesis to make a sharp piece of metal cut the rope but then quickly caught Leo with a swirling ball of air. I gently set Leo down on the ground and the ball disappeared. "Well, aren't you just full of surprises!?" Leo exclaimed.
I laughed again, "Yeah, I guess I am."
"Dani, I've never seen anyone do that before... how were you able to do that?" Bree asked and I shrugged.
"It must be programmed in your chip," Chase said and I shook my head.
"No, I distinctly remember that Douggy once said that I could bend the elements and that he hadn't programmed it." I said.
Chase looked like he wanted to argue. "That's physically impossible though."
I shook my head. "No, it's not. I'm living proof. It's also why I don't have to sleep in a capsule. Because of these abilities, I'm still more human than you guys. I mean, you're human, but the chips are like radioactive or something like that and that's why you guys have to sleep in the capsules but because of the elemental powers I control, they make me even more human... does that make more sense?" I asked and Chase nodded but Bree and Adam both kind of stared at me blankly. I rolled my eyes, "Normal brains," I said.
Chase exclaimed, "I know right! Finally somebody who understands!" I smiled and we got into talking about geeky stuff.
That conversation ended as soon as he said that Ninjago "was the stupidest show on TV." "How can you not like that show?!" I yelled and he shrugged.
"I just don't! It's stupid and there's no sense of normality in it!" He exclaimed and I shook my head and poked his chest angrily.
"Normality!? Normality?! Chase, there is no such thing as normality! You and I are living prooof of that and you want to argue that there is no sense of normality!?" I yelled and he backed up a few steps.
"All right, all right, fine. The show's not stupid, but I don't have to like it either." I nodded and we shook hands, knowing that we agreed. With my superhearing, I heard Bree whisper to Adam, "He totally just let her win that fight." I frowned, that's not how I wanted things to end at all.
I looked down at the ground and crossed my arms over my chest, suddenly feeling a bit insecure. I sped walked outside and sat on the lawn.
"Mind if I join you?" Chase asked from behind me and sat down. I just kept picking at the grass. "Dani, what's the matter?" he asked and I shrugged.
"Bree told Adam that you just agreed with me to let me win. Is that true?" I asked and his head lowered.
