Adam sighed as he knocked on the door of Tasha's sewing room. Whenever he or his siblings were upset, that's where they would go. Mainly because there was still an extra capsule in there and if they were sneaky, they could stay in there for days at a time. And he knew for a fact that after the events of them finding out about the lab, that's where Chase was.

"Chase, I'm coming in if you don't respond." Adam urged, trying to convince his brother to listen, but when he didn't, he opened the door, and what he saw was definitely not what he was expecting.

Chase was sitting with his back against the spare capsule, his blue and orange striped shirt laying on the ground beside him with a burned hole and a small blood stain on it; he had the first aid kit open beside him, and was currently trying to patch up the small wound where's Adam's heat vision nearly split his sternum.

"Hey, are you alright?" Adam asked as he shut the door behind him and knelt beside his brother, who snapped in response.

"Do I look alright to you?" Chase winced before roughly dropped the blood soaked gauze against the floor, trying to calm his breathing.

"I can get Mr. Davenport -"

"No!" Chase protested as he tried to sit up straighter, only causing more pain from the wound. "He's stressed out enough, this will only make it worse."

"Then let me help you." Adam insisted, and when Chase raised an eyebrow, he added. "I know I'm not smart, but I still remember our field medicine training, and you can guide me." When Chase nodded, Adam went into the adjacent and washed his hands; then he dried them, grabbed a pair of gloves from the box and wet a new piece of gauze.

"Okay, the first thing you wanna do clean up around the wound. I've already stopped the bleeding for the most part." Chase explained, and Adam started, trying not to notice Chase's breath getting more ragged and the tight grip on his left arm. "After that, you wanna dry it since there's nothing stuck in it." Chase stopped to bite the inside of his mouth when Adam started cleaning a particularly sore spot. "You wanna grab some of that antibiotic ointment with the Aloe Vera in it and then bandage it."

Adam nodded. He knew that if he tried to strike up a conversation with Chase, then he would forget everything he was just told, and by the way Chase was digging his fingers against his arm, he didn't seem able to explain everything again.

Adam finished bandaging the wound a few minutes later, and Chase was clearly exhausted. Between patching up the wound, having the Triton App and using two abilities twice in the same day, he had every right to be so tired that he couldn't thank Adam above a mumbled whisper.

He gently grabbed Chase's hand and pulled him onto his feet before opening the extra capsule. Even if it didn't work due to the power source being taken out with the lab, even Adam knew that all three of them slept better while standing up. He helped Chase inside and watched as he immediately drifted off, but was unable to get up from Tasha's desk. He needed to make sure his brother was okay.
