Bionic Hearts // Chase Davenport

Chapter Twenty-Two

The bionic siblings, Leo, and I all followed Donald down to the basement to the new lab he had built. After the whole Jet Wing fiasco a few weeks ago, we'd actually managed to save up enough money for Donald to build us a new lab. I'd never been more thankful in my whole life. I hated glitching with these bionics. Between not being able to speak, to almost setting the kitchen on fire...this shit needed to be put in check today.

The entrance to the new lab was already a whole lot newer than before. It had steel hexagon archways that kept the tunnel up and the walls glowed with yellow and orange light through hexagon shaped panels. Chase's arm snaked around my waist as we walked, clearly thankful he no longer had any silverware attached to his body. His magnetism app acted up the most, which sucked for pretty much everyone.

"I got a new lab, I got a new lab." Donald chanted down the hallway, dancing happily as we walked.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. I think you mean we got a new lab." Bree argued, stopping Donald and his dancing.

Donald scoffed. "Excuse me, did we pay to rebuild it?"

"Do you sleep in a glass box?" Bree retorted.

I raised my hand. "And which one of us saved your ass from becoming a Davenport Pancake?" I brought up. "Because it sure as hell wasn't you."

Donald thought for a moment. "We got a new lab, we got a new lab." He chanted.

I grinned. "Much better."

"Here it is guys." Donald said. I watched as the same steel doors with the lab insignia opened. My jaw nearly hit the floor. We passed through a small walkway lit up with purple LED lights and walked into a giant open space. The floor was hard cement in hexagon shapes. There were two cyber desks on the right with large TV monitors and touch screens on the left side of the doorway.

"Holy shit...look at all these upgrades!" I exclaimed, turning around in a circle to get a better look at everything.

"Mr. Davenport, this place is amazing." Chase said.

"Of course it is, I designed it." Donald said, resting his elbow on Leo's shoulder. My friend looked at Donald with an excuse me look.

"Ahem." Leo cleared his throat. I giggled, knowing that Leo had a pretty big part in the lab building process.

"Fine, we designed it!" Donald caved, Leo pumped his fist in a yes motion.

I turned to the left wall and gasped. "Ahh! I have my own capsule!" I shouted, running over to look at one of the middle ones. "Finally! Oh my god." I looked around the purple lit up capsules. "Woah...these are so cool." I breathed.

I looked back to Chase who was smiling brightly at me. "Happy Princess?"

I grinned. "Ecstatic."

Donald jogged over to a silver computer and desk that was on the far left wall in front of the capsules. "Plus a quantum processing supercomputer, bam!" I rolled my eyes, hopping down from one the steps that led to the capsules. I linked my fingers with Chase's as we watched his father bask in his own glory.

"There's also a four-dimensional combat-simulator." Leo added.

"Bam!" I shouted, flashing Donald a grin.

"You stole my line." He grumbled.

I shrugged. "Get used to it, Don Don." The billionaire rolled his eyes, but I saw the ghost of a smile on his lips.

"This is what a multi-million dollar makeover looks like." Donald said to us all.

"Is there a mini fridge?" Adam asked.
