- Chapter Eleven-

You were sitting in the living room, talking to Kaz, Bree, and Chase until Skylar came running down the stairs in excitment. "Guys, I just got the best email ever."

"Yes! I knew you would like it." Oliver smiled as he walked forward. "Took me two weeks to write the song."

"I didn't get an email from you." Skylar said in slight confusion.

"That's 'cause he accidentally sent it to me." Bree laughed as she raised the volume on her phone as she lip sang the song.

I'll keep you warm,

Skylar Storm

And when we rise above in superhero love 

Oliver than stopped the music, making Bree and Kaz chuckle. 

"Can you forward that to me?" Kaz asked Bree as she nodded. 

"Anyway, my best friend Scarlett from my home planet Caldera just emailed me. She's coming to visit." Skylar smiled. 

"Wait, aliens have email?" Chase asked in disbelief. 

"Of course. I get so much spam from there." Skylar informed. "I mean, who really thinks a Caldera prince is just handing out millions of dollars?"

"Can you forward that to me?" Kaz asked as you rolled your eyes.

Skylar shook her head, smiling. "I'm so excited to see Scarlett. It'll be great not being the only  alien around here."

"We've been living together for so long, I don't think of you as an alien anymore." Bree said as you nodded in agreement. 

"Aw really?" Skylar asked.

"Yeah. To me, you're just a normal girl who does incredibly weird things." Bree shrugged nonchalantly as you nodded in agreement once more.  

"So, when does Scarlett get here?" Chase asked, as a figure emerged from thin air  looking exactly like Skylar, making Chase shriek in surprise. "Well at least don't have to pick her up from the airport." 

Skylar and Scarlett hugged one another in greeting as Chase spoke. "Wait, is this your best friend or your twin sister?"

"All females on Caldera look exactly alike." Kaz informed.

"And it's glorious." Oliver smiled, standing up to greet Scarlett. "Hi, I'm Oliver. I'm sure Skylar told you all about me."

"Nope. Never heard of you." Scarlett stated, letting Oliver's hand go. 

"Alrighty then." Oliver murmured as he sat back down. 

"Oh, don't worry. All you need to know about Oliver is right here in this song." Bree smiled as she played the song. 

We'll fly into the Skylar

"Give me that!" Oliver yelled, reaching for the phone as Kaz snatched it from Bree's hands, running away as Oliver chased him. 

You gave Scarlett a look over, receiving an off vibe on her. It wasn't as strong as Kanes or Roman and Riker; but it was there and you couldn't shake it off. You were a bit skeptical, so you would have to just keep an eye out for things.

~~~~~

As lunch time rolled around, you were helping Bree make the team lunch just as Kaz walked over. "You know, I'm a superhero. Should I really have to make my own lunch?"

"Probably not." Bree stated. "You also shouldn't have to take out the trash, but you're doing it." 

Bree handed him the trash bag as he spoke. "Actually, that's Oliver's job. Oliver, trash bag."

Kaz tossed the bag over to Oliver as Oliver began to crush it into a ball before doing a heroic pose. "I am the Garbage Man."

"Yeah, that doesn't sound as impressive as you think." Chase voiced, who was sitting at the desk in the corner. 

"Agreed. Lunch is ready!" You called, placing Scarlett's plate on the table. 

As everyone began to gather around, Scarlett had sat down with a content sigh. "I'm starving." She then opened her mouth wide, as her lunch was suddenly sucked into her mouth like a vacuum cleaner. Everyone had made a disgusted face, which didn't go unnoticed by Skylar. "What's wrong? Oh, do I have something in my teeth?"

"Well, that's one way to eat." You commented with a smile as Skylar face palmed.   

~~~~~

You were sitting in your room at the bay window, reading a novel until the door opened.

"Hey~" Kaz greeted in a sing along tune.

"What do you want?" You asked, closing the novel and setting it aside.

"Me? Oh nothing." He smiled, as you rose an eyebrow. "Okay, you will not believe what I just saw Chase doing. He's building himself a robotic girlfriend."

"And that concerns me how?" You asked, arching a brow. 

"Just thought you wanted to know." He shrugged innocently. 

You closed your eyes, sighing through your nose. "Are you trying to make me jealous?"

"...Maybe." He replied, walking over to your dresser.

You rolled your eyes. "Why?"

"Well, don't you like Einstein?" He asked, lifting and looking at the novels stacked on your dresser.

"No! I do not!" You sighed as you suddenly stood. "Why does everyone think that?"

"Because you two are close and share a weird bond. Also, I was hoping you could take me to the game shop down the block." Kaz explained with a shrug.

You crossed your arms. "You're broke, aren't you?"

"Yes I am." He nodded.

You sighed as you walked passed him and out the door. "Let's go." 

~~~~~

After going to the shop, (which Kaz had been disappointed since they didn't have the game he wanted) you both went to the underground tunnels to head back to the tower. You both had chatted casually as you both entered Mission Command. 

"Still working on your robot chick?" Kaz asked Chase with a smirk, as Chase twirled the stool around to reveal the robot chick. Kaz's smirked dropped. "Whoa, who's that." 

The robot, to say the least was pretty. She had long blonde hair, the perfect skin tone, and had a nice smile that made your stomach churn. You were not jealous in any shape or form. 

"Well, her real name is Cyborg 45172, but Christina seemed catchier." Chase smiled. 

"This is your android?" Kaz asked pointing at Christina. "Where are all the bolts and wires?"

"Hidden below the surface." Christina informed smoothly. "After all, I was designed by the smartest man in the world. And the most handsome." 

Her voice was as smooth as silk and honey, and she did not have one flaw, which made you scowl internally. 

"Oh, you." Chase smiled bashfully at her as you rolled your eyes. 

"Will you excuse us?" Kaz asked Christina, pulling Chase aside.

"If you like some privacy, I can withdraw my head into my body cavity." Christina offered. 

Will you? You wanted to say but bit your tongue as Kaz spoke. "We'll just talk over here. Although I would really love to see that sometime." Kaz pulled Chase aside. "Dude, she's beautiful. How could she possibly be into you?"

"Because I programmed her that way." Chase replied as he motioned you and Kaz to his laptop. "Look, I entered all her likes and dislikes into here, and it wirelessly transmits it into her virtual brain." 

"Oh, cool." Kaz smiled. 

"I gotta go get dressed." Chase informed. "For our first date, I'm taking her to the symphony."  

"But she hasn't done anything wrong." Kaz stated. "Why are you punishing her?"

You couldn't help but chuckle along with Kaz as Christina spoke. "Was that funny? Was I suppose to laugh? I'm...I'm confused."

"She thinks your jokes are lame just like I do. Isn't that great?" Chase smiled as he went into the Hyper-lift and disappeared. 

"So, uh, what do you like to do for fun?" Kaz asked Christina.

"Whatever Chase likes to do." She replied.

"Oh, you poor girl." Kaz stated as you smiled. 

"Wow, she's great all right." You said sarcastically, shooting Kaz a grin. Kaz then moved over to the laptop and began typing. "Uh, what are you doing?"

"Trying to not let this poor girl suffer." Kaz replied, keeping his eyes on the screen.

"You shouldn't do that." You told him, crossing your arms. "It's wrong."

"But she's perfect! Why not make her more perfect by making her like the things I like?" Said Kaz, shrugging slightly as he continued to type. 

You shrugged as you walked closer to the cyber desk, opening up the rock wall. "Hey, since the store didn't have your game, you want me to get you some wings?"

Kaz whipped his head around to look at you. "You're amazing, you know that?"

"Oh, I know." You smiled as you disappeared into the tunnel.

~~~~~

When you came back, Kaz and Christina were watching a baseball game. When you handed over the wings, you sat off to the side, scrolling through your phone. Chase then had came out of the Hyper-lift, dressed out in a suit.

"Kaz, what are you doing?" Chase asked. 

"Having wings with Chrissy." Kaz replied.

"Ranch me." Christina said, before dipping the wing in the ranch and eating it.

"No, no! She's not programmed to eat." Chase informed worriedly.

"I know." Kaz acknowledged. "That's why we have the spit bucket." Kaz held out the wing bucket just as Christina spat out the wing. "Oh, yeah. From downtown." 

Chase then gripped Kaz tightly, pulling him aside quite agitated. "Did you reprogram Christina to like you instead of me?" 

"Uh, lets see. Did you suddenly become a normal person who likes chicken wings and sports?" Kaz asked as Chase said no. "Then yes. Yes I did."

Kaz then walked over to Christina as Chase looked at you. "You let him reprogram her?"

"I told him that it was wrong but he didn't listen to me." You explained as Kaz turned to look at Chase. 

"Listen, sorry. I just...I just thought it was amazing that you could design a perfect girl, so in a way, me stealing her from you is a compliment." Kaz smiled. 

"You know what? I don't have time for this." Chase shook is head in irritation. "Christina and I have to get to the symphony Helmut Van Juergen is conducting tonight. Helmut Van Juergen!"

"Ugh, I don't wanna go to that, I'd rather you turn me off." Christina groaned as you smiled, liking her more than before.

"Oh, that's it. I'm reprogramming her back to the way she was." Chase gritted as he walked over to grab his laptop. 

"No, you can't!" Kaz stated as he launched himself to get the laptop from Chase. When he got the laptop, he opened up the rock wall. "Run, Chrissy!"

Christina went to run but stopped in her footsteps, turning around. "Wait!"

"Did you change your mind?" Chase asked her. 

"Nope. Mama needs her wings." Christina smiled, taking the bucket of wings and running inside the tunnel.

"I love her." Kaz smiled in awe as he ran after her.

Chase scowled, seeing them run away. You almost felt bad for Chase, almost...but not really.  Chase had paced for a few moments before grabbing your hand. "Come on, we're getting Christina back." 

"What? No!" You shook your head as dragged you into the tunnel. "Why am I involved in this?"

"You didn't stop him from reprogramming, therefore you're involved. So now you're helping me." He explained as you groaned.

~~~~~

You and Chase ran through the tunnels, running after Kaz and Christina for awhile before they stopped at a dead end. That's when Chase slung Christina over his shoulders and took off running, you and Kaz running after him.

When you all made it back to back the penthouse, Chase ran inside still holding Christina as Kaz spoke up. "Chase, this is ridiculous. Why are we fighting over Christina?"

"Because she's mine." Chase stated, stepping up to Kaz. 

"I like Kaz." Christina commented.

"Quiet...Honey Bear." Chase smiled at Christina as you rolled your eyes.

"No offense, Chase, but even if she could think for herself, like a human, I guarantee she would pick me over you." Kaz explained.

"Oh? Oh, yeah?" Chase asked, challenging. "Well, lets turn on her sentient settings and find out." Chase opened his laptop and began typing. "That way, she can form her own opinions without us programming them."

"Okay." Kaz shrugged. 

"I like Kaz." Christina stated.

"Heard you the first time!" Chase raised his voice a bit in irritation.  

"Whoa, calm your rocker Chase. We don't want you to hulk out." You smiled in amusement. 

"There. That should do it. All her personality traits have been erased. She's a clean state." Chase informed. "So Christina, who do you like best, me or the guy who didn't create you."

Christina kept looking between the two boys, who were posing for her which made you roll your eyes. "I chooose--"

Christina then glitched, sparks flying out of her as her head shut down.

"What happened?" Kaz asked in worry.

"I don't know." Chase replied as he took his laptop before looking at Christina. Chase then stood behind Christina and began to unscrew part of her neck. "I just have to get to her CPU. It could be a short circuit, or a hardware malfunction, or..." Chase then scowled as he lifted his hand. "Buffalo sauce."

"That's my girl." Kaz smiled, swiping his finger on Chase's hand before licking it. 

"I'm gonna go wash up. Do not touch Christina." Chase ordered as Kaz held his hands up as Chase ran upstairs. 

"So, did it work?" Kaz asked, sitting across from Christina. 

"Did what work?" You asked puzzled. 

"Did you get jealous? Wait, that's a stupid question. Of course you did." Kaz chuckled in amusement.

"Did not." You protested, glaring at Kaz. 

"Yes you did. I seen it all over your face and you didn't even stop me when I reprogrammed Chrissy." Kaz pointed out. 

"I did, I told you it was wrong." You crossed your arms. 

"Yes, you did. But you didn't say stop, nor did you try to stop me physically." Kaz smirked as you glared. "Well?"

"Shut up." You grumbled, turning away from Kaz.

"My point taken." Kaz smiled.

You both then changed the topic and chatted about other things as Chase made his way downstairs. This time he wore a blue flannel and dark jeans. Chase had quickly fixed Christina as you and Kaz waited, but that was only a little while.

"Okay, Christina's finally all fixed." Chase informed. "Now she can think for herself, and chose who she likes better. Me, a handsome, brilliant man who, oh, by the way, built an android in a day, or you, a monkey in jeans."

Chase motioned to Kaz, as Kaz spoke. "I'm not hearing the insult."

"So what's it gonna be?" Chase asked, as he and Kaz got excited.

"I like Kaz." Christina smiled.

"What?!" Chase exclaimed.

"Dude, not only can you not get real girls, you can't even get the ones you build." Kaz chuckled.

"That's so sad." You smiled, because it was true; Chase couldn't even get his own android to like him.

"Oh, yes I can. And to prove it I'll just build another." Chase said determinedly.

~~~~~

You had sat on the couch with Kaz and Christina as Chase stood next to an android. 

"Okay, Kaz, you think you're so smooth, lets see who the new girl picks." Chase smiled smugly.

The android quickly pointed at Kaz, leaving Chase's side to sit beside Kaz. This made Kaz laugh. "You just lost to a monkey."

"I'll just build another." Chase informed.

So it went on like that, every time Chase built an android, they just went and picked Kaz. It was very amusing watching Chase determinedly build androids who left him the moment they seen Kaz. Chase had even built two girls at the same time, but Chase had just let them go to Kaz. 

That seem to draw the line because Chase had given up. All while he had build the androids, you had ordered a pizza so by the time Chase had let his two androids go, the pizza had arrived.

Now, you were finishing up a pizza in hand as you went over by the little table by the door where Chase had previously fixed Christina to grab your phone. You turned around to see all the girls fighting over the laptop to give to Kaz, which Kaz quickly settled down the fight before walking over to you and Chase. 

"I love that they're into me, but do they have to be so aggressive?" Kaz asked Chase. 

"Yes, I programmed them to be overly territorial and loyal." Chase explained. 

"Why?" Kaz asked. 

"So they'd never leave me. Were you not listening? I'm lonely!" Chase exclaimed as Kaz went on the laptop. 

"Okay, we get it. But you don't have to program your androids to be freaking dogs." You said as Chase sighed. 

"Ooh, I got an email from Caldera. Maybe it's that Calderan prince giving his money away." Kaz stated, making Chase lose his cool.

"There is no Calderan prince!" Chase shouted as you grasped his arm. 

"Whoa, Chase. Take a breather. We seriously don't want you hulking out." You said, feeling his arm relax under your grip. 

"Someone's a little testy." Kaz stated as he walked away. 

"Yeah, sorry. It isn't everyday that you get rejected seven times." Chase sighed walking towards Kaz. 

"Eight." Kaz corrected. "Chrissy rejected you twice." Kaz chuckled as you walked over to the two boys. "That's weird. This email is from Oliver and Bree."

"Who's Bree?" All the girls asked as they stood.

"This librarian friend. Very frumpy." Kaz waved them off as they sat back down. "Look, Oliver and Bree are trapped in Caldera's prison cell. It was Scarlett."

"Who's Scarlett?" The girls asked in union as they stood up once more. 

"Why are you asking so many questions?" Kaz asked as Chase took the laptop from his hands. You clenched your jaw, knowing that something was off about Scarlett. "How did they even get to another planet?" Chase asked, looking at the email. 

"Oliver must've used his wormhole transporter. I still have mine; it's down in Mission Command." Kaz explained, as Chase gave him a look. 

"Well go get it!" Chase told him. 

"Oh!" Kaz said as he ran into the Hyper-lift, with all the girls following right behind. 

"Ladies, ladies why fight over Kaz when you can stay here with me?" Chase smiled, while all the girls piled into the Hyper-lift with Kaz.

Chase pursed his lips, tossing the laptop onto the couch. You had walked forward, grabbing him by the arms. "Hey, there's no reason to get so worked up about this. They're androids, they don't know any better." Chase relaxed under your touch as you continued. "Instead of building android girlfriends, find a real human girl. Now lets head down to Mission  Command and save the rest of the team."

~~~~~

When Kaz had transported you all to Caldera, you had followed Chase into a cave and when he stopped, all the girls had bumped into Kaz, who had bumped into you, thus bumping into Chase. It was like a domino effect. 

"Why did you bring them with us?" Chase asked Kaz, referring to the girls. 

"It's not my fault. They follow me everywhere." Kaz explained. "I never thought I would say this, but I finally see the downside to having seven girlfriends." 

"No, really?" You asked Kaz sarcastically, as all the girls claimed Kaz as their boyfriend. 

"Hey. hey, technically, you're all my girlfriends." Chase told the girls. "You just like him more."

"Much more, much more." The girls agreed. 

"Yeah, I get it." Chase grumbled as he turned to you and Kaz. "This place is huge. I'll have to locate Bree through her bionic GPS." As Chase did so, Kaz sent the girls to find him a glass of water, which made the girls leave in a hurry. "Good call. Caldera only consists of .002 percent water. They got a better chance of solving the quantum physics general relativity conundrum. Ha!"

You and Kaz gave Chase an un-amused look.

"In the right company, that's a joke." Chase informed.

You rolled your eyes with a sigh. "And you wonder why they like Kaz more." You shook your head as you walked forward. "Now lets go."

~~~~~

After a little while, Chase was able to lead and find Skylar, Oliver, and Bree locked in a cage, dandling over a lava pit. 

"Wait!" Chase shouted as you all ran into view. 

"Ooh, a death cage over a lava pit. Nice. I wanna save them, but I sorta wanna see how this plays out." Kaz smiled as you smacked the back of his head. 

"You two take Scarlett. I'll free them." Chase instructed as Kaz shot fire at Scarlett as Chase ran to the cage. 

You suddenly felt your body tingle as you shot lighting strikes at Scarlett, who ducked behind a boulder to take cover by yours and Kaz's hits. You and Kaz then moved to stand with the team, just as Bree held out her arm,

"Stand back. This one's all mine." Bree then stepped forward as well as Scarlett. 

Bree then became ridged, glowing a bright green before sending a body blast towards Scarlett, making her fly back. 

"What the heck was that?!" Chase shouted. 

"Thermonuclear body blast." Bree answered smugly. "Oh, did I not tell you I have superpowers now?" 

"No!" Chase replied, turning to look at Kaz. "Did you know about this?"

"I wanna say yes, just to make you mad, but I had no idea." Kaz replied. 

"Guys, we have to get outta here. Where's your transporter?" Bree asked Kaz. 

"Oh, I put it down over here, I don't like to fight with stuff in my pockets." Kaz explained.

"Go get it!" Oliver told him as Chase shoved Kaz forward.

"I got it." Kaz held the transporter up as he was suddenly body slammed by Scarlett. 

Scarlett quickly got up, snatching the transporter from Kaz. "No, I got it." 

As Kaz stood up, you saw Christina and the girls. "Hey, no one messes with our Kaz. Get her girls."

The girls went over to Scarlett as Bree wore a look of utter confusion. "Wait, what?"

"Long story. All you need to know is that they are robots, and they love me." Kaz explained as you and Chase nodded in confirmation. 

The girls held Scarlett up, walking her over to the lava pit, which made Scarlett yell out for Skylar for help. 

"Oh, okay. Now you want my help?" Skylar asked. "Five minutes ago you were gonna kill me."

"The opposition forced me to. I had no choice. Please, help me." Scarlett begged.

You gave her a once over look. "She's lying."

"I'm not, I swear!" Scarlett protested, just as Skylar told the girls to release her. 

The girls didn't listen so Kaz had to tell the girls  to let her down. As Scarlett stood up, Skylar had asked for the transporter, to which Scarlett denied. 

"What?" Skylar asked. 

"You're pathetic. I knew you didn't have the guts to hurt me. You've become just as weak as the humans you surround yourself with." Scarlett told Skylar. 

"Scarlett, give us the transporter." Chase said, holding his hand out. 

"No. You're on my planet now, and I can control what happens--" Scarlett walked backwards, dropping the transporter as she fell into the pit. 

"I offered her a fruit basket." Oliver commented. "She can be eating peaches right now."

"Lets just head back to the tower, guys." You sighed, as everyone agreed.

Once you all gathered around, you all were transported back to the tower. 

"Oh, yeah. Biggest group wormhole ever." Oliver smiled. 

"It's good to be back." Chase sighed.

"Yeah, just in time. I promised to video chat with my mom." Kaz explained as he went into the Hyper-lift, as all girls followed, asking him who was mom. "Yeah, this is gonna be hard to explain."

As Kaz and the girls disappeared, Bree spoke to Chase. "So you guys created seven android girlfriends? That's pathetic. What if I asked you to create a bunch of hot robot dudes to worship me?" Chase had shrugged as her jaw dropped. "Wait, you can do that?"

"Trust me, it's not worth it. They'll just like Kaz." Chase smiled as he walked to the kitchenette.

"Now that I would love to see." You smiled as you sat in the blue chair. 

"Hey, you all right?" Oliver asked Skylar in concern.

"I just can't help thinking about Caldera." Skylar stated.

"I'm really sorry about Scarlett." Bree said stepping forward. 

"Yeah, I just wish I got to her before the opposition did. Now that they've torn Caldera apart, it's never gonna be the same again." Skylar shook her head. "My home is gone."

"No. This is your home." Bree told her. 

"Are you sure?" Skylar asked as she stood. "I mean like you said, I'm a crazy alien girl who has fourteen toes and does really weird things." 

"Yeah, we're positive." You nodded.

"And we wouldn't have it any other way." Bree smiled, hugging Skylar before pulling away. "Besides, I'm gonna need your help with my superpowers."

"Yeah, about that," Chase began as he stood, "why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want you to feel bad. You have, like, one ability." Bree explained, pressing her finger to her temple and making beeping noises.

"Okay, okay, okay. How did you eve get them?" Chase asked. 

"Skylar knew that I wanted more power, so she acted as a buffer between me and the Arcturian rock." Bree explained. 

"You touched it?" Oliver asked Skylar. "That's really dangerous. You could've been killed."

"I know, but sometimes you have to take a risk to help the ones you care about." Skylar said, stepping towards Oliver.

"Kinda like I did for you." Oliver smiled.

"Wow, he picked that up quicker than I thought." Bree commented.

"You really stuck up for me today, Oliver. It meant a lot. Thank you." Skylar smiled.

"No problem. So does this mean we're, like, dating?" Oliver asked hopefully.

"Well, lets just start with this, and see where it goes." Skylar smiled as she pecked Oliver's cheek.

Oliver smiled bashfully. "Oh, okay. Can you guys excuse me for a second?" Oliver asked, before heading out to the terrance. When he did, he began cheering and dancing around before quickly sobering up and coming inside. "You were saying?"

You couldn't help but smile, shaking your head.

~~~~~

You went down to Mission Command to retrieve your laptop, but saw Chase at the cyber desk just as Kaz came out of the Hyper-lift right after you. 

"Chase, I am done. You can have all my girlfriends." Kaz told Chase. "I can't get away from them. I would rather be sad and lonely, like you. I don't want them."

"After seeing how much they annoy you, I've decided to go back to finding a real girlfriend. I'll dismantle them all tonight." Chase explained.

"Actually, before you do, I have an idea." Kaz smiled mischievously.

"Oh, what is it this time?" You asked with a smile.

~~~~~

Just as Oliver went to go out on the terrance, all the girls had stepped in his way from doing so. As Oliver tried to explain to the girls about him and Skylar becoming an item, all the girls picked him up and dragged him off, leaving you, Chase, and Kaz in fits of laughter.
