"Marcus?" Leo half asked, staring at the screen.

"Good work Leo, even Adam could have figured that out" He laughed.

"What do you want, Marcus?" Mr Davenport asked, getting to the point.

"Just be careful, Bree." He said, looking at me through the screen. Then he hung up the call.

Chase had subconsciously reached over and held my hand during that last part.

"What does he want with me?" I asked with my voice cracking. This is scaring me, what could he want from me?? ..oh..

"I don't know," Mr Davenport started, "but we need to keep you safe"

...

Chase and Adam had been teaching their "classes" with training the other bionic students to make it seem like nothing was wrong, no need to worry them unless there was something they could do I guess. So Leo and I stuck back to do whatever until they were done.

"Are you okay, Bree?" Leo had asked, quietly, "you have seemed out of it since we found out it was Marcus"

I didn't answer, I stayed silent and looked at the ground. I couldn't tell him, especially since I haven't told Chase. It's perhaps my biggest secret yet, and I don't think I could say it out loud.

"Did you know Marcus?" I froze. Too much.

"If something happened I understand if you don't want to tell me, but depending on what it is, it may possibly help us"

I just looked back at him and gave him a small smile. I will have to tell someone eventually. I just hoped I never had to.

Leo had ran off to find Mr Davenport so I was left alone, just sitting there. There was this nice little space that was near the training area that was more physical (with Adam) and the other area where Chase had his "class". I don't really know what to call it. But this area had a couple of comfy seats and a great view of the open ocean. So I laid there on my side looking out of the window, trying to forget today's events.

"Hey, Bree, are you okay? You are shaking" Adam said, sitting down on the seat next to mine. I guess he finished training his students.

The memories. It. I feel bad not saying anything to both Adam and Leo but I don't know what I could say to them.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just tired" I said, not wanting to both talk about it, or lie.

But I don't know how I would even tell chase. Or how he would even react. I don't need everyone knowing. And speaking of Chase..

He had walked over to me without me even realizing after Adam had walked away, and sat down across from me.

"Have you been sitting here almost all day?" Chase asked, getting me to look his way.

"Yeah, I like the view" I said, looking back out towards the water.

"Bree, I can tell something is wrong" Chase said, showing his concerns upfront.

I couldn't just lie to him. He's Chase.

"I don't know how to say it, Chase"

"Chase!" Mr Davenport shouted.

"Ugh" Chase groaned quietly, about to get up and see what he wanted.

"Don't go" I whispered, with my voice faintly cracking. He already knows something is wrong but by now he has to be worried about it.

He got up, but not to see what Mr Davenport wanted, he got up and kneeled down right in front of me. He seemed so worried and concerned, he never even broke eye contact. Thinking about everything, what did I do in life to deserve him?

"Chase, I have never told this to anyone and I don't want you to freak out, but it's about Marcus and you should know. But, about one year ago, Marcus almost rraped me.." I almost cried, it was so painful to even say that word. Chase is now the only one who knows about this.

He had some tears in his eyes and all he did was pull me into his arms and stayed there. And I did cry. We stayed in this position until Mr Davenport came looking for Chase but stopped when he saw us.

And then for the next few days I wouldn't leave Chase's room, I just layed in his bed all day and he tried to not leave my side but I convinced him to after a two days. He has those students and his 'classes'. One of the reasons I wanted him to leave was because I needed to talk to Mr Davenport alone about something, something I don't think Chase will like.

I got up, walked to the door, and quietly looked out making sure no one was there, at least making sure Chase wasn't around. He'll know about this eventually but right now isn't the best time for that.

I slowly, yet quickly went down the hall, trying to avoid everyone I can while looking for Mr Davenport. He does know about what happened with Marcus.. which is why he may be understanding of my request.

"Mr Davenport, can I ask you something?" I asked, finally finding him and luckily a good enough distance from Chase.

"Yes" He said looking up from whatever he was doing on his island tablet.

"Considering everything that has happened, do you think there is any way you could make me bionic?" I asked, half-regretting it, but half-not. I feel like it would keep me safer from Marcus. Wouldn't it be better if instead of just being surrounded by bionics, I was bionic also surrounded by more bionics?

"Lately I have been considering that idea myself. Since at this point you have to be on the island, you might as well be able to participate with the others"

"That's what I was thinking, but what abilities would I have?" I asked, happy that we were thinking the same thing about me having bionics.

"Since I base specific bionic abilities with figure, I'm thinking superspeed, and vocal manipulation, to start you with something easy and not overwhelming because of learning this at your age" Mr Davenport explained. I'm just happy this is going to happen, I had always thought bionics were cool, weird, but cool. And good timing, Chase just walked in here, he came over to me, probably happy to see me out from under a blanket, and put his arm around me, setting his hand on my waist.

"Chase, how do you feel about Bree getting bionics?" Mr Davenport asked Chase nervously, and I understood why.

"What? No, you can't. Why would you have that idea?" Chase said slightly loudly, shooting it down. I knew he would react this way.

"Bree came to me with the idea, and I agreed with her, and I can if she wants me to"

By the time Mr Davenport said that Chase ripped himself from my side, looked in my eyes, and left the room angrily. Why would this make him angry?

"Chase!" I shouted, following him out of the room, trying to catch up with him.
