- Chapter One -

After a week of Mr. Davenport splitting up the team, Mr. Davenport didn't give you, Bree, or Chase much information about the 'new project', he wanted you three to work on. Though he did inform you all that you were moving to a city called Centium City.

During that week though, Chase wasn't the same when he was around you. You understood though, knowing that you'll have to start over and build that trust again, meaning that you were back at square one. Bree was more forgiving, though you could still see that she was slightly hesitant around you too.

Now though, Mr. Davenport had taken you three to a tower in Centium City where you would be living and working on the 'new project'.

As you four stepped out of the elevator Bree began to speak. "What is all the secrecy, Mr. Davenport? Where are we?"

"You are on the 110th floor of Davenport Tower, the most technologically advance skyscraper in the world." Mr. Davenport smiled as he pushed the keycard in the door. "And this is your new home."

As you all walked in, you gazed around taking everything in as Chase walked over to the window. "Woah! Check out that view!"

"Seriously, this place is amazing." Bree complimented walking forward.

"Not bad, huh? This penthouse is where I spent my years as a bachelor." Mr. Davenport explained smiling. "Boy if these walls can talk. Actually they can. Walls off, walls off!" Mr. Davenport tapped furiously on his tablet as he set it down. "You know what? Let's go out on the terrance. I wanna show you something."

You three then followed Mr. Davenport out on the terrance to see a hologram. "That's a holographic emblem represents your new team, or as I like to call it, an elite force."

"Cool. When do we get to meet the others?" Chase asked.

"Right now." Mr. Davenport informed as he swiped away the emblem to reveal the new team. You quirked an eyebrow, realizing that it was Oliver, Kaz, and Skylar from Mighty Med. "I used a 3-D hologram wall. Kaz, Skylar, and Oliver have been standing there the whole time."

"Five hours to be exact." Oliver informed.

"Let's not forget the two hours we spent rehearsing how we stood." Skylar added.

"Obviously we need three hours, because you're still not doing it right." Mr. Davenport explained as he fixed her posture.

"It's great to see you guys!" Chase smiled as he leaned over to Mr. Davenport. "What are they doing here?"

"Mighty Med was destroyed." Skylar informed.

"What?" Bree asked as Kaz stepped forward.

"This is all that's left of it." Kaz explained, showing you three a picture of the destroyed hospital.

"Who would do something like that?" Bree asked.

"We don't know." Kaz replied. "We lost a lot of superheroes that we cared about and we won't rest until we find out who's responsible."

"They wanted to use my technology to track the criminals, but I had a better idea to create an all powerful team combinding bionic heroes and superheroes." Mr. Davenport explained.

"Where are the superheroes?" you asked, crossing your arms.

"You're looking at them." Oliver smiled as Skylar motioned to themselves. 

"Oh, yeah. Oliver and I have superpowers now." Kaz chuckled as Chase stepped forward.

"What? Did you fall into a vat of radioactive waste?" Chase asked. "Wait, no, don't tell me...bitten by a supernatural spider."

Chase pretended to shoot webs as Oliver spoke. "Don't be ridiculous. While we were trying to stop my mother also known as an evil villain, Mr. Terror, from becoming the most powerful being on the planet, we made indirect contact with the Arcturian Space Rock which gave us a variety of superhuman abilites."

"Oh, a magic space rock." Chase smiled unbelieving. "And was this delivered by a bunch of littke green men?"

Skylar then stepped forward. "You do realize I'm from another planet, right?"

"I do now." Chase repied as he stepped back as Bree stepped forward.

"You're gonna have to excuse Chase if he can't explain it with science, it doesn't exist." Bree explained. "Uh, kinda like his social life or his sense of humor or his ability to have fun."

"Come on, Bree. Do you really expect me to believe these two have--" Chase got cut off as Kaz ignited a flame from his hand and shooting it into the fireplace. "But that- but the human body can't- I'm watching you Fireboy."

Bree then looked over at Oliver. "So, uh, can you shoot fire too?"

"No. Kaz has fire and heat powers, and I have water and ice. But we can both do this..." Oliver trailed as he ran ans jumped over the terrance's ledge.

You and everyone else ran to the ledge except for Kaz as Bree shouted. "Oliver no!"

"Well, it was good as it lasted." Chase smiled, patting Mr. Davenport on the shoulder.

Suddenly, Oliver flies up as he screams, as Chase runs besides Kaz to get a better look.

"Wow, he's pretty good." Bree complimented.

"Wait for it." Skylar states.

As on cue, Oliver comes flying down and crashing into Chase, making them both fall to the floor.

Your eyebrows shot up in surprise as Oliver looked down at Chase. "Sorry, still working on the landings."

Chase grunts as he pushes Oliver off, standing up as Oliver does the same. You then trailed behind the others as they walked back into the penthouse.

"So how did you three manage to escape before Mighty Med was destroyed?" Chase asked.

"We were off capturing my mom." Oliver informed. "I mean, yeah she's an evil lunatic who will spend the rest of her life in prison, but if it weren't for her, we would of been killed." Oliver explained as he suddenly smiled. "So silver lining!"

"You're an odd little man." Bree comments as she stood behind the kitchen counter.

"Not the first time I heard that." Oliver stated, pouting briefly as Mr. Davenport walks down the stairs.

"Okay, sleeping quarters are all set. Guys on the right, girls on the left, and the guy who made it all possible will be in the giant room at the end of the hall." Mr. Davenport explained as he pointed to the hall. "Stay out of my pool."

Bree then walked over and wrapped her arms aroumd yours and Skylar's shoulders. "I'm just glad I finally get to share my room with a girl, nonethless two."

"Me too." Skylar agreed. "Oh, but don't forget I'm from another planet, so sometimes I spit acid in my sleep."

"Mm, yeah. Well that is an upgrade compared to what comes out of my brothers." Bree explains as Skylar nods.

"Hey, Mr. Davenport, we gotta start searching for those guys who destroyed our friends." Kaz informs. "Where's all that technology you promised us?"

"Mr. Davenport then smiled "I'm so glad you asked. Hyper-lift open!" Then the fireplace wall split into two as Mr. Davenport ran inside. "It's a voice activated secret passage!"

The Hyper-lift reminded you of a Batman cave as Kas spoke. "This is so awesome and it seems like such as fire hazard!"

Mr. Davenport then walks out as he began to speak. "I used my Hydra-loop technology to create an elevator that will take you from the penthouse to below the earth's surface instantly. Step inside and let me show you." Just as you all were about to walk in he stops you. "Oh, oh wait...me first!"

As Mr. Davenport runs inside, you all follow suit as Oliver speaks. "Oh, FYI, I tend to get sick on any ride that has a big--" Oliver gets cut off as the Hyper-lift drops. "DROPS!"

The Hyper-lift then stops and opens as Mr. Davenport walks out. "Welcome to Mission Command."

You all look around in awe as spoke. "And just like that we're back in the basement."

"This is your team's control Nervous system." Mr. Davenport informs. "This is where you'll train, plan missions, learn how things work before you touch them." He explains as he swats Kaz's hand away from the cyber desk as his phone goes off. "Excuse me, I have a very important Davencall to take."

As he walks towards the Hyper-lift Bree begins to speak. "You can't just take the call down here?"

"Well I could, but then I wouldn't get to ride the Hyper-lift again." Mr. Davenport explains as he runs inside and gets transported back up to the penthouse.

"Okay, I'm gonna say it, I'm very uncomfortable with that guy heading up this operation." Skylar informed as she moved around the cyber desk.

Kaz then walks forward looking at you, Bree, and Chase. "Alright, let's head out and start searching for the low lives who destroyed Mighty Med."

"But we don't even know where to look." Oliver pointed out.

"Oh, well we have to look somewhere." Kaz replies. "We'll go city by city starting here. You guys take Uptown," Kaz points at you, Bree, and Chase as he points to himself, Oliver, and Skylar, "and we'll take Downtown."

"Woah, woah, woah." Chase stated as he stood and walked over to Kaz. "We don't just go randomly looking for people. We have to devise a plan first."

"I just did. Uptown." Kaz points to you three before he points to himself. "Downtown. And I don't really know any other parts of town so...plan commenced!"

As Kaz was about to walk away Chase pulled him back. "Hold on a second." Chase says as he walks over to the cyber desk on the right of Mission Command and begins typing. Bree and Skylar then move over to where Chase was as you stayed put by the cyber desk on the left. "Okay, the cyber desk is compiling a database of all the superheroes at the hospital someone might have jad a grudge agaisnt. In the meantime, I still need to know more about you guys."

"Well, I'm 5'10. I'm a heartly mix of Irish and German and I've been known to lie about my height." Kaz informs as you roll your eyes.

"I meant, what other magical powers do you have?" Chase asked.

"Oh, uh, I have super strength." Oliver informed.

"You?" Bree questioned unconvinced.

"Yes, me." Oliver replied. "Why does everyone act so surprised when I say that?"

"Because we can see your ribcage through your shirt." Skylar points out as Mr. Davenport's voice comes over the intercom.

"Guys, get up here. There's something strange going on."

You all rush into the Hyper-lift, going straight up into the penthouse and when the door opens, Skylar points at Mr. Davenport's picture. "Woah, that is strange."

"Not that, outside." He points over to the window. "Something flew by the window."

You quickly then ran over to the window, trying to detect anything out of the ordinary, until you see an object being hurled at the window. "GET DOWN!"

Everyone then ducked for cover as you jumped over the couch, quickly taking cover as the window shattered. You all then stood as Mr. Davenport asked if you all were okay.

"Yeah." Skylar replied as you looked down at your index finger, seeing that it got nicked by a piece of glass. "Look, there's something on the floor."

"Yeah, about thirty-six thousand dollars worth of glass." Mr. Davenport informed.

"No." Oliver says as he picks up a box. "It's some sort of gift box."

As Oliver went to open it, Kaz ran over and stopped it. "Stop. Dude, what are you doing? You gotta open the card first."

"No." Chase stated as he snatched the box away from Kaz. "Don't open anything. It could be rigged to blow this place apart. I'll use my bionic eye to scan it." Chase informs as he scans the box. "It's a flash drive. I could download its contents onto my internal hard drive and play it for everyone in Mission Command."

"Who would blast our penthouse just to toss a flash drive in the window?" Bree asked.

"That's why you gotta open the card first." Kaz pointed out as you rolled your eyes.

You all then headed back down to Mission Command as Chase began to download the flash drive's contents to his internal hard drive. Once he was finished, he used his bionic eye to can the flash drive's contents onto the cyber desk.

"It's a video message." Mr. Davenport stated as Chase swipes the video up across the room, where two masked figures appear on the screen.

"Destroying your little hospital was just the beginning." The first masked figure stated.

"We're on the hunt for every superhero that remains, and soon they will be extinct." The second masked figure speaks. "And once you've watched us eliminate them, we're coming for you, Oliver, Kaz, and Skylar, and anyone else dumb enough to protect you."

The video then cuts out as Oliver points to the screen. "Who was that? And don't say check the card first."

"Whoever it was, it's obvious they've been watching us." Mr. Davenport informs. "I'm gonna go activate the penthouse security perimeter and get the windows replaced.".

As Mr. Davenport walks out Kaz begins to speak. "See? This is exactly why I wanted to go out and find them first!"

"As soon as we finalize a plan--"

Kaz cuts Chase off. "Okay, forget your plan! If we don't stop them, they're gonna take out every last superhero including us!"

"They're gonna take us out a lot faster if we go into this thing unprepared!" Chase explains. "Look, I wanna find them too. But, we have to be smart about this. We gave him no idea what we're up agaisnt."

"He's right, Kaz." Bree stated, agreeing with Chase. "We have to be careful."

Kaz then looked at you, but you nodded showing that you agreed with Chase and Bree.

He then looked at Skylar. "Skylar. Back me up on this."

"We'll get them, it's just gonna take some time." Skylar informed.

Kaz turned to look at Oliver. "Oh, come on. Not you too, dude we have to do this. For Mighty Med."

"I know." Oliver replied. "I just...I just think we should play it safe."

"Safe?" Kaz questions. "None of us are safe with those two on the loose!" Kaz exclaimed. "You know...I never thought being part of an elite force would mean sitting around doing nothing!"

Kaz then marches off, clearly upset about the situation. You sighed, rubbing your eyes as Chase decided that it was best if everyone just headed to bed.  So as everyone headed to their rooms, you made your way into the kitchen and plopping yourself on the stool.

You sighed, rubbing your eyes once more. Everything was just so overwhelming that you debated whether or not you would just sneak out for the night to explore the city to get your mind off things. That was until Bree came and began to make herself a cup of tea.

"Can't sleep?" She asked as you nod.

"You?" you questioned.

"Yeah, and Skylar's snoring isn't helping much." She replies as she took a cup from the cabinet.

"Tell me about it." You sighed, remembering hearing her down the hall.

"Tea?" She offers, but you decline.

She then sits besides you, you both sitting in peaceful silence until Mr. Davenport came down the stairs. "Hey, what are you two still doing up?"

"I don't know. I guess I'm not really used to sleeping in a new place. Plus, Skylar snores." Bree informed as you nodded in agreement.

"Your capsule's soundproof." Mr. Davenport pointed out.

"I know." Bree replied, making your lips twitch up slightly.

Oliver then came running down the stairs as he runs over to Mr. Davenport. "Mr. Davenport, I can't find Kaz. I thought he was in bed snoring, but it turned out to be Skylar down the hall."

"Bet you anything he went out to look for the guys on his own." You informed as you stood.

"I'll use my super speed to bring him back." Bree informed as she stood up.

Mr. Davenport then looked at Oliver. "Oliver, go wake Chase and Skylar." Mr. Davenport then looked at you and Bree. "Take [Name] with you. If you're not back with Kaz in two minutes, I'm gonna have to track you on your GPS locator."

"Please." Bree scoffed. "Two minutes? With my upgraded speed, I can search the entire city in less than thirty seconds."

"Oh, I'm so fast." He mocked as he pointed to the door. "Well than go!"

"Okay." She replied, grabbing your arm as she super sped out of the penthouse. With Bree's upgraded speed, you both were able to find Kaz in a dark alleyway. "There you are!" Bree exclaimed as her gaze landed on the two guys. "Hello~"

By looking at the two guys, you automatically got an off vibe about them, knowing instantly that they were not good people.

"These are the guys that destroyed Mighty Med." Kaz explained pointing at the two.

"Oh, come on! Why are the bad ones always so cute?" Bree pouts as you rolled your eyes.

As Kaz was telling you and Bree to leave, you seen what looked like static go through the guy's arms. Then, one of them grabbed the other's hand and flung him, them both turning into a black cloud.

"Now do you see why it's a bad idea to run off without a plan?" Bree asked Kaz.

"In hindsight, probably not my best decision." Kaz stated.

"You think?" You asked sarcastically as Chase, Oliver, and Skylar ran beside you three.

"What is that?" Chase asked, looking up at the black cloud.

"It's the guys who destroyed Mighty Med. They're shape-shifters." Kaz explained.

"Okay." Chase nods as if he understands. "What the heck are shape-shifters?!"

"They can morph into anything." Skylar informs. "A person, a thing, a deadly black cloud. Get down!"

The cloud shoots at all of you, but you all duck, dodging it. Kaz then steps forward, shooting fire from his arm before stepping back. "Chase, now would be a great time for one of your plans."

"Oh, now you want a plan?"  Chase asked as he stepped beside Kaz. "If you had followed my plan in the first place we wouldn't even be in this mess!"

"I didn't ask you guys to show up!" Kaz stated.

"I didn't want to show up!" Chase exclaimed.

"I was sleeping!" Skylar adds.

"We know!" Oliver and Bree said in union.

Everyone then began to bicker at one another as you looked up, seeing that the black cloud was gone. "Hey!" You shouted, successfully shutting up the team up. "Where'd they go?"

Everyone then became on high alert as they walked around the alleyway.

"I can still hear them." Skylar informed.

As you gazed upwards, now seeing the black cloud, you tilted your head briefly as you kept your gaze on the cloud. "Uh, guys?"

You pointed up as everyone followed your gaze. Then the cloud struck down on all of you, making you all fly backwards. You felt your body fly, your head colliding into the brick wall as your body fell to the ground. Your vision blurred as your eyes fluttered shut, going unconscious.

~~~~~

You slowly reagined your conscious as you felt someone someone trying to wake you up. Out of relex, you shot up ready to attack but groaned as your head began to throb.

"Woah, take it easy." Oliver stated as you clutched your head.

"What happened?" You groaned.

"They took Skylar." Kaz informed. "We need to head back to the tower to inform Mr. Davenport."

You nodded, but whinced as your head throbbed painfully.

"Are you okay?" Bree asked, bending down to look at you. "You don't look so good."

"My head collided into a brick wall, pretty sure that--" you hissed as you began to feel dizzy. "I'm fine."

"You're not fine, let me see." Chase stated, as he tilted your head down gently to see the back of your head. "She has a bump. Nothing too serious but she needs to take it easy. Oliver, you said you had super strength, right?" Chase let go of you gently as Oliver nodded. "Can you carry her back to the tower? She's unstable and needs to take it easy. The tower is a few blocks away, we shoud be okay."

You went to protest but decided agaisnt it as your head began to pound. Oliver then scooped you up gently in his arms bridal style as you all headed back to the tower.

~~~~~

You sat at the cyber desk, holding an ice pack to the back of your head as you listened to Mr. Davenport lecture the team.

"I can't believe you let them take Skylar! All because you couldn't work together as a team!" Mr. Davenport exclaimed.

"It's not my fault!" Chase exclaimed, pointing at Kaz. "He's the one who took off on his own!"

"It doesn't matter! You're a leader, it's your responsibility to look out for them." Mr. Davenport explained.

Then Kaz stepped forward. "No. Chase was right. I let my emotions get the best of me. From now on we work together instead of agaisnt each other."

Kaz offered Chase a fist bump, which Chase bumped his fist with Kaz's.

"Good. Now how do we find Skylar?" Mr. Davenport asked.

Chase then walked to the middle cyber desk as the others followed him. "Without a way to track her, it's almost impossible. They could of taken her anywhere."

"Normally when I'm looking for her, I just follow her sweet flowery scent." Oliver explained as everyone gave him a strange look, including you. "That's probably not gonna work today."

"Whatever we do, we gave to move fast." Bree informed. "Without her powers, she doesn't stand a chance against those guys."

"Let's check the video again," Oliver suggested as he ran over to the screen, "maybe we missed something."

Chase walked over to Oliver. "Don't bother. I scoured every frame of that video. There's nothing there that an help us."

Oliver then pointed at the screen. "Not even this faded number on the sign behind them?"

Chase maked this sheepish noise as he stomped his foot lightly. "Oh, come on! What do you have some mystical superpower that allows you to see that?"

"Yeah, it's called eye-sight." Oliver replied, walking around Chase.

Your lips twitched upwards briefly, but it triggered a mild headache which made you groan faintly. Bree then pointed out that there as more to it, which Chase did an isolation scan and realized that the number was actually a subway station at 128th street.

"There is no subway station at 128th street." Mr. Davenport informed. "I mean there was one fourty years ago when I was...ten years from being born. But the city abandoned it after a really bad flood."

"Wait, shape-shifters naturally dwell in dark cavernous spaces." Kaz informed. "That must where they're keeping Skylar."

"Let's go." Chase stated, ready to leave but Mr. Davenport stopped him.

"I'll send the directions to your chip. You can still get there through an old underground tunnel. I used to play there fourty years ago when I was...you know what I'll send you the directions." Mr. Davenport waved them off.

"Wait," you called as you stood, "I'm coming."

"You can't, you're unstable." Bree informed as you waved her off.

"I'm fine." You replied, taking a step forward but felt as if the floor was tilting underneath you, making you sway.

Mr. Davenport held your arms as he sat you back on the stool by the cyber desk, as he looked back at the team. "Go now."

As the team quickly left, you began to speak. "But- but I have to help save Sky--"

Mr. Davenport cut you off. "She'll be fine. The team's gonna save her. Now, let's get you upstairs and on the couch where it's more comfortable."

You nodded slowly as Mr. Davenport helped you up and walk over to the Hyper-lift.

~~~~~

When the team came back after about an hour or so, and told you and Mr. Davenport what happened, let's just say that Mr. Davenport wasn't happy, at all.

"They got away?!" Mr. Davenport exclaimed.

Bree was seated beside you s Chase spoke. "Yes, but this time it was because we were too good of a team."

"Oh, on the bright side, we have a very cute selfie," Bree stated as she showed Mr. Davenport the picture, "that caught the very moment they escaped."

"Oh, that is a good one." Oliver smiled as he looked over Mr. Davenport's shoulder. "You can't even see my ribs!"

Kaz then walked over from the kitchen. "We've gotta warn the rest of the superheroes and let them know they're being hunted."

"The good news is that Roman and Riker don't even know where they are so we should be able to alert the first." Skylar informed.

"Good, but it's gonna take some time. We got a lot of work ahead of us. Let's get some sleep." Chase informed as everyone got up and followed.

You couldn't go to sleep for another two hours or so since you it your head. Mr. Davenport left the lights on as he and the rest of the team left, except Bree.

"Aren't you going to bed?" You asked her as you plopped your feet on the table.

"Nope, not when you're in this condition. Plus, someone needs to watch over you to make sure nothing happens." Bree explained, as you leaned back on the couch.

"Bree, I'm fine. I've been through this a handful of times before, I can handle it." You sighed as you held the ice pack gingerly to the back of your head.

Bree then went silent, you both watching the fireplace, seeing the flames dance and twirl as if it had a mind of it's own. That was until Bree broke the silence.

"You know he still cares."

Chase.

Of course she was talking about him.

"Bree..."

"Even if it doesn't seem like it, he does." She stated, turning a bit so she was facing you. "I mean he was concerned when he saw that you hit your head."

You rolled your eyes. "That's because I'm a fellow teammate and as Mr. Davenport said, we're his responsibility. So of course he's gonna check to see if I'm alright."

"Even if you weren't, he still would've, and you know that." She stated, as she leaned back against the couch, watching the fireplace.

"I guess you're right." You sighed, not wanting to argue anymore.

"Did you just tell me I'm right?" She faked gasped.

"Don't push your luck, I'll zap you." You teased as she chuckled, making you smile faintly.

At least she was more comfortable around you now. It was small, but it was the start of something.
