Forever || Chase Davenport

22

As the limo continued to hang off the bridge, Davenport turns on the screen that has the news playing. There was a news reporter in a helicopter recording the scene and a familiar somebody caught Harley's eye.

"That's Leo!"

"He came to save us," Davenport says before pressing a button. "Leo, can you hear me?"

Leo looks in surprise as he heard his stepfather's voice. "Yes, Bid D, I can hear you. We're coming to get you."

"No!" Davenport quickly shouts. "It's too unstable. I don't want you to get hurt. Listen to me very carefully. We're locked in. Do you see that silver shark fin on the rear windshield?"

Leo looks at the limo, his eyes scanning for the silver shark fin. "I see it."

"That's the housing unit for the computer system. I need you to find a way to disable it." Davenport tells him. "Then it will release the locks, and we can climb out."

"Got it!" Leo shouts.

"They can do this." Bree says before adding, "Right?"

"What do you think?" Douglas questions. "Our lives are in the hands of a newbie, a quitter, and a blind girl."

Harley face-palms when Leo shouts, "We can still hear you!"

"We gotta figure out a way to disable that computer system," Logan tells Leo and Taylor. Suddenly, the bridge jolts causing the three to stumble. They saw as the limo rocked closer to the edge.

"Wait. Our EMP ability." Leo suddenly says. "It disables any electrical charge. If we generate a sphere, then Logan can guide it to take out the limo's computer."

"Yes," Taylor says.

"Let's do it." Logan nods.

Taylor and Leo join hands, an energy sphere began to form in their combined hands. The energy sphere continues to grow as Logan says, "Keep going." Leo looks up at Taylor and saw the struggle on her face. Flashbacks from the accident appear in his mind. 

Suddenly, Leo pulls his hand away from Taylor's, causing the EMP to disappear. 

"What's the matter? Why'd you stop?" Taylor asks him.

"I can't do this," Leo replies. "What if I hurt you again? What if I hurt them? I don't wanna ruin anyone else's life."

Taylor takes a step forward to him. "Leo, you didn't ruin my life. It was an accident. And if I'm not gonna let it stop me from being a bionic hero, why should you?" Another rumble was heard from the bridge, the limo edging closer than before. "This is it, Leo. This is your chance to prove you're the leader I know you are. So, are you in?"

Taylor holds out her hand and Leo glances down at it before nodding. "Yeah. I'm in." Before Leo could place his hand in hers, Taylor slowly pulls hers away when she heard a noise in the distance. "What's wrong?"

"Duck!"

Taylor jumps and pushes the two onto the ground as a bridge cable swung towards them. The three sit up and Leo looks at Taylor. 

"How'd you know that was gonna happen?" He asks her.

"I heard the sound wave of the cable when it snapped. Ever since I lost my sight, all of my other senses have increased." Taylor explains with a small smile. 

"Hello. Sliding off a bridge here." They heard Davenport's voice from the limo.

The three stand from the ground as Leo says, "Hang on. We have a plan."

"You know, based on the last forty times that he said that, I'd say we have, oh, a ten percent chance of making it," Chase tells those in the limo.
