Misunderstandings Part 3

"Mia, come on. Wake up." I heard a familiar voice plead. It was as if instinct took over and soon my eyes snapped open and I began trailing my eyes around three room till they settled on Chase's worried facial expressions.

"Chase?" I asked confused and extremely tired.

He sighed relieved, "Oh thank god." And soon I felt his arms embrace my somewhat limp body.

Why was I so sore?

Once I was up on my feet again (with Chase's help of course) I asked,"What happened."

Bree shrugged, "Why don't you tell us? You must have seen a glimpse of the rebel once you got hit right?"

I shook my head no but the second I did, the door to the training area busted open. Chase had pulled me somewhat behind him as he asked, "Who's there? Show yourself."

It took a while but soon, Leo had emerged through the fog, looking somewhat a peace.

"Leo, what's going on? Who else is in there?"

"No one," Douglas told us once he and Perry arrived at the training area, "Leo's the one who's been attacking us?"

Adam shouted victoriously, "I knew it! Leo's the Rebel! Who else would want to take over the island. Wait? Why is Leo the rebel?"

Lifting his arm up, Leo shot one of his spheres lazily in our direction making us all duck and run for cover behind a pillar.

Bree growled over at Douglas, "What is wrong with him?"

Douglas answered, "He's sleep walking because his bionics are going haywire. He's not rebelling. He's- he's in a bionic trance."

Perry sighed wistfully, "I'm in a trance watching you talk all sciency."

We all began running again once Leo shot another sphere in our direction and we scattered once again.

"Your capsules calibrate your bionics with your nervous system but since Leo doesn't have a capsule, everything's out of wack." Douglas continued, once we hid again.

Rolling my eyes, I told Douglas, "So, basically this is all your fault for not giving him a capsule."

Douglas scoffed, "Come on. He's barely bionic."

Leo began making his way towards us and we ran to different locations.

Adam groaned annoyed, "Okay, that's it. I'm waking him up!"

Douglas pulled his arm, stopping him and said, "No, no! The sudden simulation could cause his arm to glitch even more. Right now, he's firing externally, but if his laser spheres backfire, it could blow him apart."

Perry began to chant, "Do it, do it, do i-" until my glare silenced her.

Turning my attention back to Leo, I noticed that his arm began to fiz out in all directions. Suddenly, I felt Chase's hand wrap around mine and gave it a comforting squeeze. It helped.

"But if we don't do something, he's gonna destroy the whole island."

Douglas flinched once another ball was blasted, "You guys have to find a way to contain him, then I can recalibrate his arm."

Right before we could discuss a plan, we noticed that Leo had disappeared.

Bree sighed, "He's gone."

Clapping his hands together, Adam told us, "Good. That means the gyms free. I'm gonna do some cardio."

The building shook again making Adam groan in annoyance as we all left the common area.

"Kerry, have you seen Leo?" I asked her once we arrived into the lab.

Adam continued, "16 year old male, about 5'7, answers to the name Leo."

Kerry stuttered, "Uh-yeah, he went...somewhere else."

We all looked at her oddly but left her alone anyway and continued our search around the island.

"How are we gonna stop Leo without waking him up?" Adam asked once we returned to the common area.

Bree smirked and replied, "Oh, I know how to keep him asleep. Just have Chase talk to him."

Chase glared, "I just sent you a pointedly worded text."

"Ahhhh!" We heard a girly scream echo off the walls.

Perry's eyes widened in realization, "Kerry!"

"Don't worry Kerry! We're here to-" Perry stopped herself once we saw Leo on the floor of the lab screaming.

Should've known.

"Leo?" I asked before rushing to his side, Kerry releasing him from her hold. I gave him a hug that he returned as he asked, "What happened?"

Adam laughed and responded, "You just got body slammed by a brownie."

Kerry continued, "Because you and your toy arm attacked me."

Once he released me, he said confused as I helped him up, " What are you talking about? I was sleeping."

Chase corrected, "Actually you were sleep walking." Leo looked over at me and I nodded in confirmation as Chase continued, "Your bionics glitched because Douglas never gave you a capsule."

Raising his hands in surrender, Douglas reminded Leo, "But I did give you bionics. Let's focus on that."

"Wait, but how did you subdue him without waking him up? I asked Kerry, raising an eyebrow at her.

She smirked, "Oh, he woke up. Hit em' in the right place, they always wake up."

Perry smiled at her niece proudly and said, "She's a Perry."

"You know, you don't have to do this. I am perfectly capable walking to my own which is a few feet away from the lab." I told Chase as we walked through the dark hallway of the lab.

He shrugged smiling at me as he said, "I know. I just wanted to walk you to your room."

I raised an eyebrow at him and gave him that 'You-expect-me-to-fall-for-that-excuse?' look.

"Fine," he gave in, "I wanted to talk to you."

"About?"

"About us." I stopped in my tracks and looked at him sharply. Chase stopped as well and I noticed a slight blush making its way to his face but he held it back.

"What abo-" I was cut off when I felt familiar warm lips meet mine. My eyes widened in shocked but they slowly closed shut just as my lips parted slightly.

Somehow our 'small kiss' ended with my hands pinned up against my bedroom door, both of us panting like dogs on a hot summer day.

I smiled slightly, "Oh, that."

He nodded and smiled a little, "Yeah."

"How long have you been holding back that one?" I asked him, our lips brushing against each other after every word we said.

Chase responded, "A while."

Once he laid his forehead on mine and released my wrists, it was silent between us. We just looked down at our entwined fingers, not knowing what to do next. But we did know one thing.

We weren't letting go.
