The Forgotten Davenport

Parallel Universe

Dani's POV

The friday after I revealed my bionics to Leo, I was at home. I was in my room, working on my homework. I did sleep in my capsule, but my dad let me and Marcus have our own rooms to put our clothes and other stuff. My phone vibrated and I saw that it was a text from Bree.
'Do you want to come over? For a movie and dinner?' She asked in the text.
'Sure. I want to make sure my homework is done first.' I texted back before working on my homework. I combined my super speed and super smarts to get everything done in less than thirty minutes.

After I double checked everything, I went downstairs with my phone in my pocket.
"Bree invited me over." I said to my dad and Marcus. Marcus was sitting on the couch while watching TV and my dad was in the kitchen. "For dinner and a movie. Can I go?" I asked.
"You just want to see Leo..." Marcus started to say and I rolled my eyes. My dad nodded his head and I couldn't help but smile. I slapped Marcus on the back of the head and walked out when I made sure I had my phone.

I stood outside the door and took a deep breath. I was going to be with my siblings, even though they didn't know. They should know, but I wouldn't even know how to tell them. I knocked on the door and Leo answered. I held back a blush as he just looked at me.
"Bree invited me." I said, wishing I could say that she was my sister.
"Come on in Dani." I could hear Bree say so I walked in.
"Something smells good." I said with honesty. Leo just looked at me.
"What?" I asked with a shrug. "If there are two things I know they are food and tech."
"Just wait until you taste it." Leo whispered to me before walking towards the table. I followed him to the table and ended up sitting between him and Chase.
"Thanks for inviting me." I said to Bree, who just gave a small smile.
"Leo can't stop talking about you." She said and I could see Leo blush, even with his dark skin. I didn't say anything, so I just gave a small smile.

The dinner felt like it went fast. I liked it because I enjoyed myself. It was nice because for once in a long time I just felt like a normal person without bionics. I asked Tasha if I could help with dishes, which she let me. It would have been my turn at the house for dishes and I honestly didn't mind. The others went downstairs and I knew that they were going to the lab. I pretended not to know anything, which they seemed to buy. Tasha went to the living room and put in a DVD and I helped her with the popcorn. I was going to put the bag in the microwave when she went downstairs. I made sure no one was looking, got a bowl and used my laser eyes to pop the popcorn. It was always quicker to use bionics to get things done. It only took a few seconds to get it popped, but some of it didn't get in the bowl. I used my telekinesis to put it in the bowl.

I put the bowl on the kitchen island and continued with the dishes. Tasha and Donald came up and I could tell that they were surprised with the popcorn. I could see Donald look at me a little weird but I shrugged it off.
"You don't have to do the dishes." He said.
"It's fine." I said with honesty. "I would have done them tonight either way." Leo and the others came up. He started to help me and I smiled a little. I couldn't help but splash a little water towards him. He splashed me back and I smiled. It was just like me and Marcus, except I didn't have a crush on Marcus.

While Leo and I worked on the dishes, I used my bionic hearing to listen in on the movie.
"This is my funny part." I whispered to Leo, letting him know that I was listening to the movie. He looked at me then took a few steps towards the others with a plate in this hand. I could hear him laugh then drop a plate.

"Leo!" Tasha shouted and I couldn't help but look. "I said no movie. First you won't do the dishes, now you break them?"
"Hey, you said you hate looking at dirty dishes and that's one less to look at." Leo said and I wanted to laugh, but I stopped myself.
"That is it." Tasha said. "No TV for the rest of the week."
"That's not fair... by the way, I've seen that movie. I wouldn't get too attached to that dog." Leo started to walk away.
"You can always use the internet or Itunes." I whispered to Leo before drying my hands. He just looked at me and shrugged before I sat on the couch and stole some popcorn from the bowl.
"You probably shouldn't get attached to the dog." I said. "I've seen this before." I added as I sat back in the couch to watch the movie.
