Eliza, Leo and Mr Davenport walked through the back door of the house and walked through the hallway to the living room where Tasha was standing waiting for them. "Please don't text 'hurry home' when we're in a helicopter." Leo said as he held his stomach as Mr Davenport and Tasha hugged. "Yeah, he left his lunch all over your neighbours roof." Eliza said and Leo nodded.
"So what happened. Where are the kids?" Tasha asked. "Douglas got to them before we did." Mr Davenport said and Tasha looked at him. "Your brother, again! Ok, you're not allowed to complain about my mother anymore." She said and Eliza couldn't help but smile and silently laugh.
"We have no idea where they are. But they're smart. They will figure out a way to escape." Mr Davenport said and turned around to face Leo and Eliza. "Well, two of them will anyway." He added.
"I do have some good news." Tasha started. "The FBI finished their investigation and proved you were cyber hacked." She said and Mr Davenport smiled brightly. "So, I'm getting all my money back?" He asked.
"No. All the money was stolen. You're still broke." Tasha said and Eliza snicked at how Tasha said it and Mr Davenport turned to face her, making her stay quiet.
"But I'm getting all my stuff back, right?" Mr Davenport asked as he looked around the empty living room. "My boats? My cars? My planes?" He smiled.
"Just the house." Tasha said and Mr Davenports face fell. "But at least now we can all move back in together." She smiled and Mr Davenport looked unimpressed. "Not even a jet-ski or a motorcycle with one wheel?" He asked.
"So what are you gonna do about the kids?" Tasha asked.
"Well, they're not gonna come back here because they still don't think it's safe." Leo said. "I just wish there was some way we could get a message to them to let them know that everything's ok." He added and an idea came to Mr Davenports head.
"Maybe we can." He said as he looked to Eliza. "Leo, find me a computer." Mr Davenport said and Leo nodded. "On it." He said before he went to did a computer only to turn around again and looked at Eliza for help and she shrugged.
"Don't look at me. I left mine at home." She said and Leo rolled his eyes.
"Is there anything I can do?" Tasha asked and Mr Davenport put his hand on her shoulder. "Tasha, now is not the time for jokes." He said.
☆☆☆
After Leo finally found a computer, Mr Davenport took Leo and Eliza into a room. Mr Davenport put a device around Eliza's head, kind like a hair chain with a wire connected tinted computer. As Leo and Mr Davenport were typing away at the computer, Eliza looked around the room. "Ok, we've connected your bionic chip, now we can send a cyber message to Chase." Mr Davenport said and Eliza nodded.
As Mr Davenport was typing, he stood up and looked at computer. "That's weird." He said and Leo looked at him confused. "What?" He asked and Eliza looked to the two.
"What did Leo do?" Eliza asked and Leo turned to her with wide eyes. "I didn't do anything." He said and she raised her eyebrow. "I highly doubt that." She said and Leo rolled his eyes.
Mr Davenport laughed at the two and shook his head. "No, Leo didn't do anything." He said and Leo turned back to Eliza and smiled. "Ha!" He said and she glared at him.
"But apparently Douglas also gave you the magnetism app and the invisibility app." Mr Davenport said and Leo's eyes widened and a massive smile grew on Eliza's face.
"Cool!"
"No!"
"He just put the code in but they haven't been unlocked." Mr Davenport said and Eliza shook her head. "Please do not unlock the magnetism app." She said and Mr Davenport looked at her confused. "Why?" He asked and Eliza shrugged. "I do not need random metal objects getting stuck to me." Leo stepped in front of the computer. "Don't even think about unlocking the invisibility app." He said and Mr Davenport looked at him confused. "Why?" He asked.
Leo rolled his eyes. "Because she'll never stop pranking me with it." He said and Eliza looked at him weirdly. "I'm still waiting for a reason why he shouldn't unlock it." She shrugged and Leo glared at her.
"I'm not going to unlock it." Mr Davenport said and Eliza stood up. "What? Why? Why am I being punished?" She asked and Mr Davenport looked at her. "Because we don't need Leo getting pranked." He said and Leo nodded. "Thank you." He said before he stepped away from the computer.
Mr Davenport the reached into his pocket and handed Eliza a ten dollar note and she looked at him confused. "Please don't prank me." He whispered and she smiled brightly. "I won't. Thanks, uncle Donnie." She said and he nodded.
Eliza turned and sat down in her chair as Mr Davenport continued to type away at the computer before he filmed a video to make into a hologram. He then started typing before he told eliza to send the message, which she managed to do after three attempts as she had no idea what she was doing.
After a minute, he sighed. "Ok, the message is sent. Let's just hope they get it." He said and Leo nodded as he went over and unclasped the device on Eliza's head and she stood up. "Now we wait." She sighed and Leo agreed.
The two turned around to walk out the door but Mr Davenport stopped them. "Wait, I wanna see if something works." He said and the two teens turned to him confused and he nodded to Eliza who smiled.
She thought for a second before she practically disappeared and Leo's eyes widened. "You did not." He said to Mr Davenport and he nodded. "Wait, what happened?" She asked.
"What have you done?!" Leo asked Mr Davenport who shrugged and Eliza reappeared and smiled at the scared expression on Leo's face and she couldn't help but laugh. "This is gonna be fun." She smirked and Leo shook his head. "No it's not."
☆☆☆
Adam, Bree and Chase all stood in Douglas' new lair surrounded by some type of energy rings that did not allow them to leave. "I can't believe the lab is gone." Bree said after Douglas showed them the video he got of the lab getting blown up. "That's our home." She said to the man.
"If anything happened to our family, I will end you." Chase said and Adam nodded. "Yeah! And the well put you're body in an old-lady dress so everyone laughs at your funeral." He said and Chase looked at him weirdly.
"Guys, I understand you're mad. But what's done is done. So let's focus on moving forward together. First order of business, what do you say we make Mondays family game night?" Douglas suggested with a shrug.
"This guy, still evil, still fun." Adam said and Bree rolled her eyes and Douglas shook his head. "We'll need to get Eliza first. She'll love game night." He said and Chase stepped forward. "Don't even think about going near her." He said and Douglas nodded.
"You're right. Ray will most likely try and kill me." He said before he walked away.
Chase looked off into the distance for a moment before he turned to his siblings. "Guys, somethings happening to me. I'm getting a tingling sensation." He said.
"Aw, you hear that, Bree? Pretty soon he'll have a little baby moustache." Adam said and Bree smiled as Chase looked at his brother with a glare. "No. I just got a cyber message on my chip. It's weird, why would I randomly get a cyber message?" He asked and Bree shrugged before Chase gasped. "
"Mr Davenport must be trying to tell us something." He said before he put his finger to his temples and Mr Davenport appeared as a small hologram.
"Guys, I know Douglas has you. Leo, Eliza and I are doing everything we can to find you. But if you can escape, just come home. Perry has agreed to keep your bionics a secret." He said before he turned. "Can we do that again? I feel like this hologram makes me look fat."
"No, just hurry up." They heard Eliza say. "Yeah." Leo agreed and Mr Davenport rolled his eyes before he disappeared again.
"Mr Davenports ok!" Chase smiled. "Now we just have to find a way to get out of here." He added.
"What if I used my blast wave abilities to destroy the rings?" Adam suggested. "If you do you'll destroy the rings and everything around us, including us." Bree said and Chase nodded.
"But we'll be free." Adam shrugged and Chase nodded. "Here's an idea: how about we come up with a plan where we escape and survive?" He said and Adam sighed and nodded.
"Wait, if these rings are titanium, can't you just use your magnetism app to repel them apart?" Bree asked and Chase sighed. "Douglas would expect that, just like he would expect me to use my molecular kinesis to manipulate them." He said.
"So do both." Adam suggested. "He wouldn't expect that." He shrugged. "Adam, you can't use two abilities at the same time." Chase said.
"Why not?" Bree asked. "Because... I don't know." Chase said and Adam nodded hesitantly. "We've never tried it before." Chase shrugged.
"Well, I say you try it now and if your head explodes, the survivors will move on to plan B." Adam said and Bree nodded. "Chase sighed. "Fine, I'll try it." He said before he put his hand out. "Activating magnetism app." He then raised his other hand. "And molecular kinesis." He said and Adam and Bree covered their faces.
After a minute, Adam leaned over. "Focus, Chase." He said and Chase sighed as he dropped his arms. "When you tell me to focus, it makes me not focus!" He said and Adam nodded and covered his face again as Chase raised his hands again.
After a minute, the rings dented before they exploded. "Way to go, chase!" Bree smiled.
"Oh, man. I thought his head was gonna explode for sure." Adam said just before Chase collapsed on the ground and Adam shrugged. "It's better than nothing."
"Help me carry him." Bree said as she trapped chases foot before she shook her head. "No, he's light. I got him." She said before she followed Adam out and dragged Chase with her.
☆☆☆
Leo, Eliza and Mr Davenport walked back into the living room where there were a lot of boxes that needed to be unpacked. "Still no word from the kids?" Tasha asked as she stood up from her spot on the couch where she was unpacking a box.
"No." Mr Davenport said as he walked down beside the couch. "You're a tech whiz. Isn't there something else you can do? Like send them a text alert or friend request or have them paged." Tasha suggested and Eliza looked up at her from the box she held.
"I'll be honest, sometimes I wonder how you two ended up together." Leo said and Mr Davenport looked at him.
"Look, all we can do know is hope they got the cyber message. Until then, we just have to wait." Mr Davenport said as he and Tasha sat on the couch and the front door opened and Adam, Bree and Chase walked in. "We're home!" Bree announced with a smile.
"Well, that's didn't take long." Leo said as he put down the box he held. Eliza put her box down beside Leo's as she walked over to the group.
"Oh, I'm so glad you're safe." Tasha said as she hugged Bree and Chase hugged Mr Davenport before he walked over and engulfed Eliza in a bear hug. "Ok, why am I getting a giant hug?" Eliza asked. "Eh, I'm not complaining." She shrugged before she wrapped her arms around Chase.
"You guys ok?" Mr Davenport asked as Eliza went over and hugged Adam then Bree. "We're fine, but Douglas has a new partner." Chase said and Adam shrugged.
"Give it six months. He's super high maintenance." He said and Bree nodded before Adam went over to the kitchen. "He's some crazy billionaire, Victor Krane, and he's implanting himself with bionics." Chase explained.
"I haven't heard of him, but I'll find out who he is and how we can stop him." Mr Davenport said before he went to a box on the kitchen counter.
"You guys must be starving. I'll get dinner started." Tasha said before she started walking over to the kitchen and Eliza shrugged. "I could eat." She said and Tasha turned and looked at her. "What? I haven't eaten since half two." Eliza defended.
"That was half an hour ago." Tasha said and Eliza shrugged. "Exactly." She said and Tasha rolled her eyes playfully as she smiled at the young girls antics as she walked to the kitchen where Adam was already snacking on some Skeezits.
Eliza walked over beside Mr Davenport where she put the box she was unpacking. "Look at this. Things are finally getting back to normal." Leo said, not noticing that Chase's eyes turned a bright green.
Oh, how things can turn upside down in a matter of seconds.
☆☆☆
After Tasha made the group of teens a snack, the five sat on the couch as Leo told them everything that happened after they left. "Then the lab blew up and we got trapped in the elevator. Big D told us some of his deepest secrets. Hiding you three in the basement, not even top five." Leo said and Eliza nodded. "Probably not even top ten." Eliza said Leo agreed.
Chase stood up and looked down at Leo as he was sitting of the arm of the couch. Leo's eyes widened as he noticed the change of colour in Chase's eyes. "Hey, what's up with your eyes?" Leo asked and Chase grabbed his shirt and yanked him of the couch. Eliza turned to the two with wide eyes.
"Hey! Hey! Easy on the chest hairs! I only have two." Leo said and Eliza silently laughed.
Adam and Bree then sat up and Eliza dropped the popcorn she took from the bag of popcorn Adam was holding. "Ohh, my popcorn!" Eliza exclaimed as she looked down at the mess she made.
Adam and Bree stood up, Adam walked over behind Mr Davenport as he was talking to Tasha. Adam then threw Mr Davenport to the floor. "Adam, please don't throw him. You know how delicate he is." Tasha said.
Bree turned around to face Eliza. Eliza looked at up at her and noticed her green eyes. "That actually looks kinda cool." Eliza said and Bree started walking towards her, causing her to shift back in her seat.
"What's happening?" Leo asked and Chase still held onto him. "Douglas must've enabled their triton app." Mr Davenport said as he also noticed the colour of Adam's eyes. "Look at their eyes, he's controlling them!" Mr Davenport said.
"Well, can he please make Bree leave me alone! I'm innocent!" Eliza called out as Bree held onto her arm and moved her so she was facing Chase. Chase looked at her for a moment and activated the override app. After a moment, Eliza fell back on the couch unconscious.
Leo turned his head to face Chase as Chase was still holding onto his shirt tightly. "What did you do?" Leo asked as he looked back down at his best friend. "Mom, watch out!" He then called out to Tasha just before Bree super sped towards her.
Tasha quickly moved out of the way and Bree flew over the counter. "Forget the tuna, I'm about to open up a can of Bree surprise." Tasha said.
Bree then stood up again and Tasha and Mr Davenport quickly ran out of the room. Chase let go of Leo and Leo fell to the ground. He quickly crawled over to the couch and grabbed onto Eliza's shoulders. "Eliza! Wake up!" He yelled before Eliza sat up and opened her eyes and her eyes were also green.
"Uh oh." Leo froze before he quickly got up and ran out of the room, following Tasha and Mr Davenport.
☆☆☆
Tasha, Leo and Mr Davenport ran back into the living room as Adam tried to laser them with his laser eyes. "Why are they trying to hurt us?" Tasha asked.
"It's not them. It's Douglas! But for now, let's get out of here." Mr Davenport said as the three tried to make their way to the front door but Eliza super sped in front of them and generated a laser sphere in the palm of her hand.
Chase then used his molecular kinesis to move the massive box beside the door to in front of the door. The three screamed and ran off again, but Bree super sped into the room and blocked the final exit.
"Ok. You and your brother need to hug this out!" Leo exclaimed and Adam and Bree started walking towards them. They screamed before the separated and tried to find a way out of the room.
After a few minutes, Leo ran into the living room with Chase following him. "Why aren't you going after Adam? He's the one who picks on you all the time!" Leo said as he walked over to the the door but there were two massive boxes in the way. "Uh oh." He said before he took a step back.
He turned around to see that Chase had cornered him. "Adam! Make a short joke! Tell him he's got a tiny, doll-like body!" Leo yelled to Adam who was busy trying to laser Mr Davenport, who was blocking the lasers with a metal bowl.
Chase lifted his arm and used his molecular kinesis to hover a big box over Leo. "No, no no no, Chase!" Leo said as he looked up at the box with fear in his eyes.
"Donald, do something!" Tasha told her husband as she and Mr Davenport hid behind the kitchen counter. Mr Davenport looked over at the scene. "Chase, don't drop it! Listen to me, the triton app only controls your bionics, not your human side." He said and Chase looked at him before he looked at Leo again.
"Yes, Chase! Remember? All the great times we had? All the cool inventions we built? The time Trent made us bob for apples in the bathroom?" Leo listed at Tasha and Mr Davenport looked at him weirdly. "Ok, that wasn't really cool, but we did it together!" Leo said but Chase started to lower the box over Leo.
"This isn't working!" Leo called out to his mom and stepdad. "Keep trying! It's our only chance!" Mr Davenport yelled and Leo nodded.
"I'm the one who showed you guys the real world, Chase." Leo said as he keeps looking back up at the box. "I taught you what it means to be a brother. The good one, not like Adam is to you. But I have to admit, that's still hilarious." He said and Chase lowered the box even more. "I mean, no it's not!"
After a few more attempts, and Leo showing Chase a picture of them at the Robot Throwdown, Chase put the box back where it was before, then he passed out to the floor. "Honestly, I did not think that was gonna work." Mr Davenport said and Tasha shoved his shoulder before they went over to Leo and Chase.
Leo and Mr Davenport helped Chase stand up. "My head is killing me." Chase said as he held his head. "It's was Douglas' triton app." Leo said.
"He probably doesn't remember anything." Mr Davenport said to Leo. Eliza and Bree super sped into the room and stood beside Adam. Bree walked forward and Chase looked towards his sister in confusion. "Bree, what's wrong with your eyes?" He asked.
"Douglas is controlling them. You have to fight back." Mr Davenport said and Chase started protesting before Adam used his laser eyes and blasted Chase in the stomach, causing Chase to stumble back into the wall.
Mr Davenport let out a shriek before he, Tasha and Leo hid behind the couch. Chase stepped forward and used his molecular kinesis to move a massive crate in front of Adam. Leo smiled, but it quickly fell when Adam used his super strength and pushed the crate to the side.
Adam started using his laser eyes but Chase activated his force field. Eliza walked over and stood beside Adam and generated a laser sphere in the palm of her hand. Adam started walking forward, causing Chase to back up.
"Adam's too strong. Chase can't hold out for much longer." Mr Davenport said as he watched the scene unfold.
Eliza then started generating more energy and threw her arm forward, causing the power to collide with Chase's force field.
☆☆☆
Back in Douglas' lair, him and Krane watched the scene on a small tablet. "Dial up her power." Krane ordered Douglas, but Douglas shook his head. "But it's not safe. It could really damage her."
"Now!" Krane yelled before he snatched the tablet from Douglas' hand and turned up Eliza's strength.
☆☆☆
Eliza's eyes glowed a brighter green and her power increased. "Wait, what's happening?" Leo asked and Mr Davenport's eye widened. "He's increasing her strength of her superpowers." He said and Leo looked at him confused. "He can do that?!"
"Can't you just talk them out of it like Leo did with Chase?" Tasha asked and Mr Davenport shook his head. "There's no time!" He said.
"Wait, if Douglas is controlling them, can't Chase do the same thing?" Leo asked. "He's got that override app that can control their bionics when there's a emergency."
"It's too dangerous. He can't use two abilities at the same time." Mr Davenport said. "No! I've done it before!" Chase said and Mr Davenports eyes widened.
"What? Why would you do that? It puts too much stress on your system! You're lucky you're alive!" Mr Davenport said and Leo turned to him.
"Hey, why don't you yell at him when he's not fighting for his life!" Leo yelled and Mr Davenport backed away from him slightly before they both turned to the four.
"I've got no choice! I have to at least try!" Chase exclaimed before he looked towards Adam who was still using his laser eyes. Chase lifted his hand to his temple while he held his other arm out to control the force field. "I believe in you, Chase!" Leo called out.
"Stop talking!" Chase yelled. "Activating override app." He said before he looked to Bree. After a moment, she collapsed on the floor. Chase then looked to Adam and he also fell to the ground and Chase turned to Eliza.
"Hurry! Your force field is about to collapse!" Leo called out and Mr Davenport sat up with the metal bowl on his head. "See, I told you. When he uses two abilities at the same time," he started.
"Shut it!" Tasha and Leo yelled causing Mr Davenport to jump.
Chase put both hands forward to increase the power of the force field. After a few moments, Eliza's strength started to decrease and Leo noticed. "What's happening?" He asked and Mr Davenport shook his head. "I don't know."
Eliza's power then increased more and Chase stumbled back a little but he managed to make his force field bigger. Mr Davenports eyes widened as he saw the amount of energy Eliza was using. "That's going to burn her hands!" He exclaimed and Leo's eyes widened.
"No! Come on, Eliza! I know you're in there! Please come back, I need to kick your butt in Rocket League! And I need my best friend!" Leo yelled and Eliza's power decreased slightly.
After a few moments, her strength decreased by a lot and her eyes turned a less bright green colour, she looked to Chase then to Leo and Mr Davenport before she stopped using her powers completely. She then gave Chase a look that said 'I'm sorry' before she collapsed to the ground and Chase deactivated his force field and looks at his siblings before he also passed out.
Mr Davenport, Tasha and Leo walked over to the four and Leo kneeled down beside Eliza and shook his head. "Even when Douglas is controlling her, she's still an idiot." He said and Mr Davenport smiled before he looked to her hands and there was burn marks on the palm and back and his smile fell.
Oh, Rays definitely gonna kill him.
☆☆☆
After the four woke up, everyone walked down to the destroyed lab. "The whole reason I built this place was to protect you, and I couldn't even do that. I feel like I failed you." Mr Davenport said as he looked around.
"Well, I'm glad someone said it." Adam said and Mr Davenports eyes widened and Eliza nodded. "Yeah, my hands hurt." She said as she held up her hands which now had a pair of gloves that Mr Davenport invented that has some sort of cooling mechanism to help heal the burns. Leo shook his head at the girl but took her in for a side hug.
"You didn't fail us. If you hadn't brought us together as a family and let us live like normal kids, we never would've been able to defeat the triton app." Chase said and Mr Davenport smiled.
"Thanks guys." He said as he walked over and put his arms around Chase and Eliza. "You're right. I am handsome and brilliant." He said and Chase looked at him confused. "But I didn't," he started.
"Let him go, it's how he copes." Leo said and Eliza nodded before the group came together for a group hug.
