Bionic Action Hero

"Gross," interrupted Leo.

"Anyway, just because Giselle is infertile, doesn't mean she can't have kids. There are other ways for women to have children. What I did was after we, you know, I took my, stuff, and her, stuff, combined them and genetically engineered the DNA. So you three are test-tube babies. Once you guys started developing in the test tubes, you were then implanted into an anonymous woman's uterus, and were born normally. I didn't get to choose if my kid was going to be a boy or a girl. Obviously, Adam wasn't a girl, so I repeated the same process until I got Bree."

"Wait, why didn't you stop at Bree if all you wanted was a girl?" asked Chase.

"Because I already gave super strength to Adam and super-speed to Bree. I needed one more kid to complete the trifecta and to give super intelligence to. The thing is that with in-vitro fertilization, there is a major complication with multiple births. That is why I genetically engineered you three and made you guys bionic," answered Douglas.

"If that's the whole reason why you created us, then why did Mr. Davenport say that you wanted to use us as cyber-soldiers of mass destruction and sell us to the highest bidder?" Chase asked.

"I wasn't lying yesterday when I said that Giselle breaking up with me was the worst day of my life. You see, I never told Giselle about you three because I wanted to surprise her. I wanted her to meet all three of you at the same time. I just had to wait at least three years to do that. Giselle, of course, knew that I was keeping something from her, so she followed me into Davenport Industries one day, and that's when she discovered you guys. Giselle was furious. She thought I had cheated on her and had children with another woman or that I kidnapped you guys. Before I could explain myself, she broke up with me and said she never wanted to see me again. I'd say that's when I got the evil bug. Every time I looked at you kids, especially Bree, all I could think of was Giselle, and that just made me so mad because you never gave me a chance to explain!" Douglas yelled at Giselle. Giselle looked extremely guilty. "So that's when I decided that I would sell you three to the highest bidder, and you would become cyber-soldiers of mass destruction. Without you three there, then I wouldn't have to be reminded of Giselle. But, as you know, before that could happen, Donnie stole you from me."

"I didn't steal them! I rescued them!" Donald shouted.

"Stole!" exclaimed Douglas.

"Rescued!" Donald fired back.

"Stole!"

"Rescued!"

"Okay, we get it. You're both horrible people. Continue Douglas," said Leo.

"Well after Giselle dumped me, my brother kicked me out of Davenport Industries and took my kids away, I decided that I would fake my death. That way, there was a chance that someday I could get my kids back. Then I created Marcus to help me to do just that, and I say it all worked out eventually," said Douglas.

"Who's Marcus?" asked Giselle.

"That's another long story... and I'm not getting into that one. All you need to know is that Marcus wasn't your kid. He was just an android," answered Douglas. "So Giselle, now that you know the truth, will you give Bree back to us please?" Douglas pleaded. 

"Let me see... no," Giselle answered.

"What do you mean 'no'?!" yelled Douglas.

"I know it's my fault, and I didn't give you a chance to explain, but I've already missed 17 years of my daughter's life."

"And I've missed 15!" Douglas snapped back. 

"Douglas, Giselle, I'm sorry," interrupted Donald. 

"What are you sorry for?" Both Giselle and Douglas asked in unison. 

"For being the one to raise your kids," answered Donald. 

"Huh?" asked Adam, Chase, and Leo in unison. 

Donald realized his mistake and said: "Guys, that's not what I meant. I might not be the best dad..."

"No, you're definitely not 'Father of the Year'," interjected Leo. Adam and Chase nodded in agreement. 

"Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that instead of having a custody battle over your kids, why don't you just stay here at the Academy for a while, Giselle? That way, you can spend time with all three of your kids without having to kidnap them," reasoned Donald. 

Douglas nodded. "What do you say, Giselle?"

"Fine," answered Giselle, sounding unsatisfied. 

Douglas smiled. "And that doesn't mean we're getting back together, Dougie," she added. 

"As long as our family is together, I don't care," answered Douglas.
