"And truth be told, I never was yours…"

The next morning was unlike any other. For starters when the daily alarm went off in the lab, only two of the three bionic humans were woken by it. The middle capsule was empty.

Bree yawned as she stretched her taut muscles that had occurred from her sleeping upright. Looking over to her brothers, she realised that only Adam was currently residing in one.

Pushing open the capsule door she moved over to his and banged on the Breakable-Not-So-Unbreakable-Glass, successfully waking the elder of the two up.

"Breeee…" Adam whined as he rubbed his tired eyes as he also stepped out of his capsule.

"Adam." She replied rolling her eyes as she flicked her hair over her shoulder. "Where's Chase?"

"Dunno. He didn't come to the lab last night." Adam replied with a shrug. "Why? Should we be worried?"

"No, I was just wondering…After last night…" She trailed off as she thought about the events prior to this morning.

"He seemed really upset." Adam commented as he picked at his ear with his pinky, removing it after digging deep enough, revealing a clump of earwax. Adam shrugged smelling it, before popping his finger into his mouth and then back into his ear to regain his process.

Bree looked at her brother in disgust, not bothering to hide it as she witnessed him eat his earwax ."Did I go to far last night?" She asked trying not to be sickened as she watched her brother continue to dig.

"Dunno." Adam replied shrugging. "He won't take it seriously anyways. He lives for school and missions."

Bree thought over what Adam had said, and couldn't help but see the logic behind his statement. Chase was a nerd after all he wouldn't give up school for anything. Even when he was sick he insisted on his siblings getting his work and assignments sent home for him.

He was Mission Leader, it was his responsibility to complete missions and see that they run smoothly. But them fats didn't help ease Bree's guilt as she remembered the heartbroken emotion across her baby brothers face when she screamed at him.

Sighing Bree ran a hand through her hair before she shuffled her way over to the elevator to go up to the main living quarters.

Chase had woken in a very uncomfortable position on the rooftop early that morning, and now his body was paying the price for falling asleep outside. His muscles ached as he stretched, his head pounded and the back of his neck hurt where his chip was located.

He wasn't designed to withhold long periods outside his capsule, so not having slept in his own last night was taking its toll on him. It was necessary that they slept in their capsules at night, so that their chip didn't overheat and bionics didn't glitch.

Groaning in discomfort and pain, Chase ran a hand through his spiked hair making it stand even more on edge. Climbing down from the root, Chase made his way into the house and into the kitchen where he proceeded to make himself some food to build his strength and wake him up.

Deciding a shower would be best, he quickly finished eating before moving towards one of the many bathrooms where he proceeded to take a long warm shower.

It wasn't until a half an hour was up, did he jump out and change into clean clothes. A plain blue polar neck and black jeans with his usual trademark high tops. He towel tried his hair before letting it sit in a tangled mess.

He quickly brushed his teeth before he ran down to the lab and programmed his capsule for a quick regeneration. Hoping into the middle glass cylinder, he waited as it glowed blue and immediately he felt his energy return to him. His chip didn't feel as heavy in his neck or as overheated.

Chase snapped his eyes open, whenever he heard the familiar whoosh and ding of the elevator doors opening. Moving his line of sight, he sighed in relief when he realised it was just Leo. He didn't think he would be able to face hi siblings yet.

"Oh there you are Chase! Big D is looking for you! Something about last minute training." He said as he tried to remember the exact things Mr D told him to say, do and get. "By the way, you don't know where his Mono-Something-Brush is do you?"

"His…? Oh that thing." Chase said nodding as he finally got what Leo was taking about. "Left hand drawer over there beside his Kim Possible action figure." Chase said pointing in the direction Leo was to look.

"I don't get why he calls it a brush, it looks nothing like one!" Leo muttered as he pushed the figurine away to grab the device.

"That's because it's not a brush." Chase said rolling his eyes. "It's an easy access bionic chip regenerator. Used only in emergencies whenever our capsules aren't available."

"So not a brush?" Leo clarified as he nodded at his step- brother.

"Yes Leo, not a brush." Chase replied.

"Oh cool!" He said in fake enthusiasm.

Chase shook his head, hiding a smile as he continued to riffle through his chip schematics. "Huh, look at this." He muttered as he zoned in on some important detail he had previously missed.

"What is it?" Leo asked peering over Chase's shoulder.

Chase paled as he read through the file. "This is not good…"He muttered.

"What? What is it?" Leo asked.

"Go get Mr Davenport and everyone else, even Douglas."

"Why? Chase what's wrong?!" Leo asked worried.

"It's about my Commando App. It's about Spike." Chase said before he swallowed and continued to read as Leo rushed up to gather the family.

Suddenly the words, -Commando App Disengaged- flashed across Chase's eyesight.

"The Fear, the fear of falling apart."
