Lab Rats Leo From The Future Novels & Stories

No, I wouldn't let that happen to me. It was raining outside, and the cell where we were was dripping badly from the rain. Lily lay in the corner, her body shaking, small. The one sheet that was given to us, she had used it to cover me. I took it off slowly and covered her with it. She needed it more than me. She was too young for this. I felt so bad, but there was nothing I could do. I wanted to move to another corner that wasn't wet, but the entire floor was. As I pushed myself up, pain shot through my entire leg. I wasn't even sure if my leg was healing anymore because the numbness I had been feeling had become worse, though the pain had reduced.

After all, Leo was just an ex. ***

Chapter 125 “You’re kidding.” Leon’s voice came out sharper than he intended, laced with disbelief. His heart slammed against his ribs as Aaron’s words fully sank in. The lab stool felt suddenly unsteady beneath him, even though Aaron had dragged it right up against his own. Their knees were still pressed together, the warmth of Aaron’s leg radiating through his jeans. The dramatic foam from the elephant toothpaste reaction had mostly settled into a sticky, yellowish puddle on the tray, but the air between them felt far more volatile.

"That's the best thing you could be, Leo." But as they walked away, a single, tiny drop of the Primal Marrow remained on the tip of Leo's finger-and it began to sink into his skin, glowing with a faint, secret violet light. Thorne's "Final Experiment" wasn't over. It had just moved into the next generation.

We just breathed after I saw the shake it. I reached out and asked Erika where the futuristic human tube in the laboratory was hidden. "In the warehouse, Leo. Why?" Erika asked me. I thought if it's still good, somehow it can be repaired if we don't need a new futuristic human tube. "Harold and I will see if we can fix the futuristic human tube that we have in this lab. When it can't be done, we need a new futuristic human tube while the enemies don't rush to our camp again," I just told them carefully. We were halfway through making the medicine formula before we talked to Erika.

He is building a bridge without a blueprint. "Leo, stop!" I commanded, my voice echoing with a trace of the old Architect power. The scrap metal hit the floor with a clatter. Leo turned around, his grey eyes—so much like Nevan’s—wide with a mixture of guilt and a strange, alien pride. In the center of the pile was a small, pulsing sphere of light, trapped in a cage of silver wire. It wasn't electricity. It was a miniature rift in space-time. "I just wanted to see the stars, Mama," Leo said, his voice high and sweet. "The sky is so dark. I wanted to make a light that never goes out."

The next morning, Leo was sitting at the kitchen island, surrounded by three holographic screens flashing a bright, dangerous red. He hadn't brushed his hair, his grey sweatshirt was inside out, and he was aggressively chewing on a piece of cold toast while his fingers flew across a portable keyboard.

Behind them, they heard the distant echo of the maintenance hatch being kicked open. "They're coming," Lyra said. "Run." They ran through the dark, the only light coming from the screen of Lyra’s tablet. The tunnels twisted and turned, a mirror of the fractured neural pathways in Leo’s brain. "Lyra, wait!" Leo tripped, his hand slipping from hers. He fell against a brick wall, and as he did, a small piece of the masonry gave way. Behind it sat a rotted wooden box—a time capsule from a century ago.

I just didn't care for it. I caught a glimpse of him before he opened his door and came inside. All I could see was his body. He was wearing a crisp gray shirt, buttoned low enough to catch a glimpse of his bronzed chest, and a pair of black pants that were simple enough. His hair was smoothed back again, giving him a look of refined polish. But with the overbearing shape of his muscled body and the cat-like slant of his eyes it was impossible to dismiss him as simply polished. No, Leon was too rugged for polished.

The robotics lab was louder than usual that afternoon because the regional competition was only three weeks away and every student on the elite team suddenly believed their project was the most important invention in the history of childhood ambition, while Leo sat at the corner table surrounded by wires, circuit boards, and half-finished prototypes with the kind of focus that made even older students avoid distracting him because they had already learned that once Leo entered that quiet state the rest of the room simply disappeared from his mind.
