I am awoken when sunlight shines through my bedroom window. I feel someone's arms around me and hear soft snoring and remember that Chase slept with me last night. I smile and nuzzle his chin. A smile plays at his lips and his eyes flutter open. He looks down at me. "Hey, Princess," he says, softly, brushing the hair out of my eyes. "Hi, Little Genius," I say. "We should get up now. Donald told us to get an early start on training today." "I agree," he says. We break away from our comfortable position and he kisses me on the cheek before leaving to get ready. I proceed to get ready as well.

  Once I am fitted into my mission suit, I head down to the lab, where Bree, Adam, Leo, and Chase are all standing in place, looking very annoyed. "Hey, what's going on," I ask. "I thought that we were supposed to get an early start on training today." Bree rolls her eyes, "We were, but Mr. Davenport is late!" "Again," I ask. She nods. "Wow," I say. "And he expects us to be punctual." Leo, Adam, Chase, and Bree all nod in agreement with me.

...

  Uncle Donny comes walking into the lab two. Hours. Later. "What are you guys doing up already," he asks. I scoff, "You told us to get up early for training today, even though it's Saturday." Uncle Donny scratches his head, "I did?" We all groan. Then we hear a loud beeping noise. "That's a mission alert," Uncle Donny says, running to his computer. We all follow him. Uncle Donny gives a slight gasp. "Well, good thing you all are already in your mission suits," he says. "You all need to head to New York City immediately. There's been a toxic gas leak by the sewer pipes and you need to stop it." I mentally gag at the word, 'sewer.' Bree speaks her mind, "Ew."

  "You all have to wear Hazmat suits in order to protect yourselves from the toxic gas," Uncle Donny instructs. "Get in those Hazmat suits now and get ready to go, go go!" We all rush to get ready as Uncle Donny and Daddy Douglas prepare to supervise the mission. Once we're ready, Bree super speeds us to NYC and we see people screaming and coughing and gagging. Chase immediately goes into Mission Leader mode and he quickly lays out a plan, "Bree, you super speed as many people out of the building as possible. Leo, Adam, you use your super strength to help anyone who is trapped under the rubble. Lyrica, you and I will find a way to stop the gas leak. Everybody got it?" "Got it," Leo, Adam, Bree, and I chime in unison. We all separate.

  Chase and I run to the pipes and try to fix them, but I am distracted when I see an elderly man trapped under some rubble. Bree is in the midst of trying to help someone else and I am afraid that the weak, elderly man is going to die before she gets to him. "Chase, I have to go," I say, immediately. "What," he shouts. "You can't go!" I ignore him and start running toward the man as Chase screams for me. I kneel down beside the man. "Don't worry," I say. "I'm gonna get you out of here." "Oh, bless your sweet little heart," the man cries as I attempt to lift the rubble of off him. After what feels like forever, I lift all of the rubble off of the man and he goes back to his family. I start to run back to where I was supposed to be, but I trip and my foot gets caught under some rubble. I can't escape.

  "Help," I cry. "Somebody please help me!" My eyes sting and my lungs are practically gasping for air. "I'm going to die in here," I think. I start to go unconscious, but I jolt when someone scoops me up in their arms. I look up to see my rescuer. Even though my vision is blurred, I can tell that it is Chase. I lean on him heavily as he quickly carries me out of the building. "Are you okay," he asks, once we exit the building along with Adam, Bree, and Leo, and everyone is safe. "Yeah," I reply. "Just a little dizzy." "Oh, thank God," Chase cries. He kisses me firmly on my lips. Then he shouts, "Are you insane!? You could have been killed!" "That poor man was gonna die," I yell. "He's not worth risking your life to save," Chase practically screams. "You idiot! You scared me to death! I thought I lost you!"

  He hugs me closer to him. I am slightly insulted by this. He did just call me an idiot. "Lyrica, you almost sabotaged the entire mission," Bree says. I suddenly feel really guilty. I sabotaged the mission. I feel terrible, but I don't say anything. Instead, I bury my face in Chase's shirt to keep from crying and he carries me the whole way home.
