Fiona yawned as she walked down the stairs in the middle of the night. She hadn't exactly gotten used to sleeping in a capsule yet, and she was finding it difficult to find a comfortable position to fall asleep. When she walked downstairs she checked her tablet and noticed that someone was down in mission command. It was too late at night for anyone to be down there. She got on alert and went down the hyperlift. When she went down she was ready to fight whatever threat had invaded them. But instead she saw Chase, running his hand through his hair, and scrolling through the cyberdesk. "Chase?" Fiona asks. Chase jumps and looks back at her.

"What are you doing down here Fiona? Shouldn't you be asleep?" Chase asks.

"I should be asking you the same question." Fiona says. "What are you doing here up so late?" She asks.

"I'm trying to figure out how to get back into the super hero network." Chase says and pulls up a holographic screen with a bunch of computer code. "When Reese stole the list she locked us out of the network so we couldn't warn any of the heroes that they had gotten it and that their covers were blown." Chase says and sighs, placing his hands on the desk and gripping it. "If only I hadn't fallen into her trap." He says and slaps the side of the desk.

"What did she do?" Fiona asks.

"She's Rodissius's daughter and she pretended to be in love with me, and I was stupid enough to fall for her and her lie, and then I brought her over and when we left on a mission she came in here, stole the list, nearly killed Douglas and then locked us out of the superhero network." Chase explains. "And it was all my fault because I let my desperation to get a girlfriend blind my judgement and I foolishly invited her over without getting to know her first."

"It's okay. You just made a mistake." Fiona says.

"I'm supposed to be the smartest man in the world I don't make mistakes." Chase says. "You of all people should know that. People like us don't make mistakes."

"Yes we do." Fiona tells him. "We're bionic humans. We may have advanced abilities but we're still human. And humans make mistakes. There was no way you could have known that she was Rodissius's daughter." Fiona tells him.

"But I should have noticed the family resemblance and the fact that her name starts with R!" Chase exclaims. "I should have at least been suspicious!"

"Chase it's-" She starts to say and grabs his hand but Chase cuts her off.

"Don't say it's okay. It's not." Chase says.

"Alright. Then you're right it's not okay." Fiona says. "But stressing over it isn't going to help. What's done is done. You can't undo the past. You have to stop thinking about what you could have done differently and focus on what needs to be done now." She says and takes his hand an places it on the cyber desk covering it with her hand. He smiles a bit and looks at her.

"You're right." He says.

"I'm rarely ever wrong." She tells him and he laughs.

"Usually I'm the one that says that." He says.

"Well now you're not the only brainiac anymore." Fiona says and lets go of his hand and makes her way back up to the hyper lift.

"Wait." Chase tells her before she goes up. "Do you maybe want to stay and work on something with me?" He offers and Fiona's face lights up.

"I'd love to!" She says and comes over to a lab table that Chase has set up.

"Okay so this is a little side thing I've been working on that I'm really excited about." Chase says happily. "I'm combining hyperlift and capsule technology together to create a teleportation device!" He says.

"Seriously! That's amazing!" Fiona exclaims and Chase jumps up and down.

"I know right isn't it exciting!" Chase says and Fiona laughs from how childlike he was acting. It was adorable. "I'm almost finished with it but I was wondering if you'd like to help me put on the final touches?" He asks and Fiona smiles.

"I'd love to!" She says and runs over to the work desk and helps him screw some stuff together. Chase put on some music since it sometimes helps him to have background noise and suddenly I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys came on. Fiona looked up when she noticed Chase humming the words a bit. She smiled and did the same. She blushed when she felt Chase staring at her. Soon the humming turned into singing softly. She did the same. Suddenly they both gripped their screwdrivers and turned to each other.

"But we are two worlds apart. Can't reach to your heart." Fiona and Chase sang playfully dramatically to each other and they both reach their arms out to each other. "When you say. That I want it that way. Tell me why!" You both shouted.

"Ain't nothin' but a heartache!" Fiona sang and backed away from the table.

"Tell me why!" Chase sang.

"Ain't nothin' but a mistake!" Fiona said and swung her hips a bit.

"Tell me why!" Chase sang dramatically and leaned back on the table.

"I never want to hear you say. I want it that way!" They both sang and Chase strode up to Fiona and caught up to her.

"Am I your fire?" He sang and Fiona felt her face heat up. "Your one desire?" He looked right into her eyes. She felt like she could melt in his hazel orbs. "Yes I know it's too late." Oh it's far from it... Fiona thought. "But I want it that way!" Chase sang.

"Tell me why!" Fiona sang this time.

"Ain't nothin' but a heartache." Chase sang and took her hand, bringing her around mission command.

"Tell me why!" Fiona sang again dramatically.

"Ain't nothin' but a mistake!" Chase sang and stood up on top of the cyber desk.

"Tell me why. I never want to hear you say. I want it that way!" They both sang.

"Now I can see that we've fallen apart. From the way that it used to be. Yeah. No matter the distance.
I want you to know. That deep down inside of me!" They both sang dramatically as Chase bent over to sing to her from the top of the desk.

"You are my fire. The one desire." They both pulled their hands to their hearts and closed their eyes. "You are (you are you are you are)." They each repeated the 'you are's to each other.

"Don't want to hear you say!" Chase pulled her up onto the desk with her suddenly. "Ain't nothin' but a heartache!" He sang as she laughed from being pulled up.

"Ain't nothin' but a mistake!" She adds.

"I never want to hear you say." They both sing. "I want it that way! Tell me why!" They both got off of the desk and started to dance a bit around the room.

"Ain't nothin' but a heartache!" Fiona sang and looked away from Chase but he turned her around.

"Tell me why!" He sings to her.

"Ain't nothin' but a mistake!" She sings.

"Tell me why, I never want to hear you say. I want it that way!" They both sang.

"Tell me why!" Chase bellowed.

"Ain't nothin' but a heartache! Ain't nothin' but a mistake!" Fiona sings again.

"Tell me why, I never want to hear you say. I want it that way!" They both sing. "Cause I want it that way." They conclude softly and then they both laugh.

"Well that was fun." Fiona says.

"Yeah. That's one of my favorite songs actually." Chase says.

"Mine too..." Fiona admits and bites her lip and stares at the ground. Both of the bionic geniuses were blushing. "I should be getting back to bed."

"Yeah I probably should too." Chase says and the two go to the hyperlift and go back up to the penthouse. Fiona yawns and rubs her eyes, then stretches out her arms as they walk back upstairs to their rooms. "Goodnight Fiona." Chase says and smiles at her as he opens the door to the boy's bedroom.

"Goodnight Chase." She says and goes into the girl's room. Both of them leaned against the bedroom doors and sighed and slid down the wall. "He really is something special."

The next morning everyone was downstairs having breakfast. Douglas was scrolling through his phone and drinking some coffee. "Wow. I've never used a plate or forks and knives before!" Eve exclaims and picks up a fork from the pointy end. "Is this how you hold it?" She asks Kaz who was sitting next to her. Kaz just smiles at her and flips it around in her hand. "Ohhh, that makes more sense."

"It's a good thing you're pretty." Kaz says and continues to eat.

"Hey give her a break." Skylar says. "She's never been inside of a house before. There's a lot of stuff that's going to be new to her and her sister."

"Skylar's right." Chase says. "Fiona at least had the bionic intelligence to figure out things she didn't know, and the ability to live in society so she doesn't need much help but Eve is experiencing all of this for the first time. So instead of teasing her we should be helping her." Fiona smiled at Chase from across the table, then looked down into her food so no one would see her blush.

"Wow Chase that's a really nice thing to say." Bree says. "I thought you'd treat her like Adam and tease her about all the stuff she doesn't know."

"Well Adam was growing up with us and should have picked up on things, based on his environment, but he didn't, meaning he was and probably still is pretty dumb." Chase explains. "Eve on the other hand was mostly living in the wilderness for a majority of her life with no access aside from her sister to learn things. So she probably has the brain capacity to be smarter than she is but she hasn't been able to learn anything until now." They looked over at Eve who was inspecting a piece of art on the coffee table.

"Can this be used for eating too?" She asks and tries to bite it. "Ow! That hurt!" She says and throws it on the ground and it goes halfway through the floor. She turned back to look at everyone and blushed. "Oopsy."

"Or not." Chase says and looks back at his food.

"Well I'm sure you boys have realized by now and haven't said anything but I would now like to put it out there, that the number of girls on this team now outweighs the number of boys!" Bree says and Eve comes over and all the girls who were on one side of the table smiled at the guys and gave each other high fives. "This team is now run by girl power." The guys laugh.

"Uh, yeah right." Chase says. "We've still got the smartest guy in the world on our team, most of our missions rely on my strategic planning."

"Yeah but we've got Fiona now, who is just as smart as you." Skylar says. Kaz noticed that Douglas was about to say something but then looked back down.

"Hey Doug, were you about to say something?" He asks. Everyone turns to him.

"What? Me, no. I'm just looking through my emails and such." He says and looks back down at his phone.

"No, you looked like you were about to say something when Skylar said that Fiona is as smart as Chase." Kaz says and then Douglas looks at everyone staring at him.

"They both have the same level of intelligence right?" Bree asks.

"Well..." Douglas starts off. "For the most part yes, but when designing F.I.O.N.A, I gave her less apps because I figured that in the future if she and Chase were to go on missions together and if while hacking a computer or mainframe or something people tried to attack you, then Chase would become the protector and fight off the threat while F.I.O.N.A finishes the mission. That's where Chase's commando app and light bo staff come from, and why you two both have force fields, but Chase's can become a weapon. The commando app was designed to be able to link to F.I.O.N.A's chip so that if she was ever threatened during a mission it would turn on and eliminate the threat, so it's possible that she's smarter than Chase since she has less bionic abilities which would give her more capacity for intelligence."

"What!?" Chase exclaims.

"Sweet! Girls rule!" Eve says and high fives Bree while Chase looks like he's about to have an existential crisis.

"Now just hang on a minute, because then when we decided to just keep the two of you separate we gave her some other stuff like the magnetism app and telekinesis, you know stuff like that. And then those upgrades mutated into what that strange molecule manipulating red stuff is now so it probably took up a lot of space on her chip so Chase could also be smarter than her at this point."

"Ha!" Kaz says and points at the girls.

"I know that I have the exact schematics of F.I.O.N.A's chip on a file somewhere but it could take me awhile to get it here." Douglas says.

"Mr. Davenport has mine back in Mission Creek." Chase says.

"Should we send for them to see who's smarter?" Oliver asks.

"I'd like to know." Kaz says.

"I definitely want to know." Chase says and Fiona seemed a bit sad from hearing him saying that.

"How long would it take for Mr. Davenport to get the files here?" Bree asks.

"I don't know, probably two days, tomorrow at the earliest." Douglas says. "By the way I'm going to be out for the day to do some business so I'll see you guys tomorrow." He says and leaves.

"We have to wait that long!" Oliver says.

"I know!" Kaz says. "Instead of waiting for some dumb file to get here, let's just have the two smartest people in the world prove how smart they are with a little competition of sorts."

"Like an invention competition or an academic decathlon?" Fiona asks.

"I don't know what that means but yeah. Like the first part anyway."

"So how are we going to see who's smarter?" Oliver asks. "They're both the smartest people in the world, any test or competition we could come up with they could probably both figure out. We can't think like they can."

"Then we'll come up with the projects for each other." Fiona says. "We each come up with the hardest thing we can think of for each other and whoever can complete the other's challenge can clearly outsmart the other and is smarter."

"You're on!" Chase says and points at her. "And my challenge for you is to make a robot that can be a body guard and shoot lasers." She laughs.

"You're going easy on me." She says.

"Made only out of objects in this room." He finishes and her smile falters a bit.

"Well I challenge you to make a photon canon that can sustain a blast as long as five seconds." She says and he scoffs.

"Child's play." He says.

"Made only out of things found in your bedroom and you also have only a full day to do it!" She finishes and he seems less confident.

"Well we will be helping our girl out." Bree says and comes to stand beside Fiona. "Just to add another layer to this challenge and show you guys how great girls work together."

"Oh yeah then we'll be helping out Chase." Kaz says and Oliver nods.

"You're going down, I have and always will be the smartest guy around here." Chase says and Fiona seems saddened by what he said and Chase leaves to go to the bedroom with the guys.

"Come on Fifi. Let's show that know it all just how much he doesn't know!" Eve says and Fiona's sad expression turns to one of determination.

"Yeah. I'll knock that arrogant jerk off his high horse!" She declares and they look around the room for stuff to build out of.

The guys were building their canon outside on the terrace. "That was a brilliant idea, using your capsule as the main chamber for the canon." Kaz says.

"Of course it is, I came up with it." Chase says and smiles confidently. The girls were in the main living room building their robot. Chase squinted his eyes as he saw Skylar and Bree dismantling some stuff while Fiona successfully assembled what looked to be the second of a pair of legs. And the torso looked like it was almost done.

"Aw man they're working fast." Oliver says as he tries to think of what to use an old pizza box for.

"We've got to slow them down somehow or we're going to lose." Kaz says.

"Yeah but Fiona is super focused when she works." Chase says and looks at her putting together the circuit board of the toaster to put into one of the arms. "It's so cute..." He says dreamily.

"Snap out of it man!" Kaz says and hits the side of his head. "You've got to show her what a man you are and finish this awesome canon! If she wins then she'll hold it over your head that she's smarter than you forever!"

"You're right! She'll never respect me if she has that kind of power." Chase says then pulls on his shirt a bit. "But man it's getting hot out here. I can barely think." He says and looks over all the garbage they got from their bedroom.

"Yeah it is getting a bit toasty." Oliver says. "I know I'll cool you down with my water powers!" He says and goes to squirt Chase but ends up practically drowning him, like he just got hit with a hose on high power.

"Oliver!" A now dripping wet Chase exclaims. The girls look and see what happened from the window and laugh hysterically.

"Sorry!" Oliver says. "I forgot that it could do that." He shrugs.

"Well that looks like it's going to put a 'damper' on things!" Bree calls out to the guys and laughs. They could hear her because the sliding door was propped open due to the heat.

"Just you wait! We'll beat you!" Kaz calls back.

"Are you sure about that?" Fiona asks. "Because it's already 2:30 and I'm just putting on the finishing touches. "I might even finish ahead of schedule." She says and flips her hair and goes back to work.

"Dang it they are going to beat us at this rate." Kaz says "What are we going to do?"

"I don't know. Just work faster I guess." Chase says and takes off his shirt since it was soaking wet and he shakes out his hair. "Kaz, start working on the stand, I'll finish rewiring the capsule to shoot out the energy. Oliver sort through the stuff to see if you can find any candy wrappers or metal stuff that could be used for the photon." He directs.

"Right." Oliver says and gets to work. Kaz looks back inside and notices something.

Fiona was going to turn around to say another insult but then she saw Chase take off his shirt and her breath caught in her throat. He shook out his hair and ran his hand through it and she bit her lip. She couldn't stop staring at the way the sun glistened off his skin. "Oh my..." She says softly and drops the screwdriver she was holding.

"Hey buddy." Kaz taps Chase's shoulder.

"What is it?" Chase asks.

"Check it out." Kaz whispers and gestures to the doorway where Fiona was rendered flustered and speechless inside the room, just staring at Chase's wet, shirtless form. "She's checking you out." Kaz smirks and pats his shoulder.

"Checking me out how?" Chase asks. "Checking out how I'm wiring this thing?"

"No!" Kaz states. "You're shirtless." Kaz whispers to him. "She's checking out your chest."

"You mean, she thinks I'm hot?" Chase asks and his face lights up. Kaz nods. Chase got all giddy and jumped a bit. "Oh my God this is great!" He says with a huge smile. "She thinks I'm hot!"

"Don't ruin it by acting like an excited toddler!" Kaz scolds him. "This is how we'll slow her down. Distract her with your body."

"What do I do?" Chase asks.

"You have to fix a panel on the top of this thing right?" Kaz asks and Chase nods.

"Get on top of it and straddle it while you rewire it." Kaz instructs and Chase nods and he helps him up there. Chase got himself settled on the canon and started to unscrew the panel. "Lean back a bit." Kaz says. "Kind of have your crotch just before where the panel is." Chase follows his instructions and Fiona let a soft gasp escape her lips. "Yeah." Kaz says and smiles and nods. "She'll go nuts over that. Chicks dig that position."

"How do you know this?" Oliver asks.

"I saw Magic Mike." Kaz says and Oliver and Chase look at him weird. "I thought it was a movie about a magician!" He defends himself.

"Hey Fiona where do you want this-" Skylar notices she's not listening.

"Fiona?" Skylar comes around to see her. She was just staring outside, biting her lip and gripping the table. Skylar waved her hand in front of her face.

"Sorry what was that?" Fiona asks.

"I was just wondering if you needed the circuit board from the coffee maker for the other arm?" Skylar asks.

"Oh yeah, I do. Just leave it on the table..." Fiona trails off when she sees Chase working on top of the canon and let out a little squeak. Skylar looked and saw him and her jaw dropped.

"Whoa what exactly is he doing out there?" Skylar asks with a shocked look on her face from Chase's seductive behavior.

"Whatever it is...it's super hot..." Fiona says in a breathy voice with a dreamy look on her face.

"What is?" Bree asks and then looks outside and sees the show her brother's putting on for Fiona. She scoffs. "Seriously? Like they think that is going to keep us from-" She looks and sees Fiona and Skylar watching in a trance. She claps in front of their faces. "Snap out of it!" She says. "They're just doing this to distract us." Chase ran his hand through his hair again before twisting something inside the panel. Fiona ogled his glistening abs and her eyes trailed down his 'v' lines. A spark flew from the panel and Chase jumped a bit and Fiona did too and let out a squeak.

"He's doing pretty well on that panel." Skylar notes and watches him with a smirk. Oliver notices and starts to look angry at Chase.

"I wonder how well he'd do on me..." Fiona says breathlessly and Bree looks like she's about to vomit.

"Ew! Disgusting! Don't say stuff like that about my brother!" Bree says. "I didn't need that image in my head!" Chase looks up at Fiona and winks at her and another small noise escapes her lips.

"Why does he have to be such an arrogant jerk and be so hot?" She asks and Bree gags.

"Well if they think that'll distract us, then two can play at this game." Eve says and Fiona and Skylar look back at her and smirk. Bree get a devious grin on her face as well.

"Hey Chase you think you could tone it down a bit!" Oliver calls up to him. "You're starting to turn on Skylar too! You know how scrawny I am. I can't woo her with my body like you are right now."

"Sorry buddy." Chase says. "My only target is my brilliant Fiona but if Skylar seems to fall into my trap as well then, that just boosts my ego." He smirks and puts on some gloves to reconnect the wires.

"It's so big already I don't think it's possible to give it a boost." Oliver grumbles from the trash pile. Chase pushes the panel back down to re-screw it when the girls came outside with big pieces of metal.

"What are you girls doing out here?" Chase asks. "Came to get a closer look?" He suggests and pushes his chest forward a bit.

"If only there was something impressive to look at." Skylar insults and then Kaz notices that they changed their outfits to shorts and button down shirts.

"Wait, Fiona is that my shirt?" Chase asks, looking at the green flannel that she was wearing.

"Yeah. I had to borrow it because I didn't want mine to get dirty while I'm washing this stuff for my robot." Fiona says and Skylar sets down the buckets with sponges and soap. Chase watched Fiona bend over to turn on the hose and started breathing heavily. Kaz started to realize what was happening and hit his leg.

"Hey! Stay focused! We're almost done now!" Kaz says.

"But she's wearing one of my shirts! That's so hot!" Chase whisper shouts.

"Well forget about that and keep working!" Kaz says. Chase looks up and his eyes widen and he nearly falls off of the capsule when he sees Fiona and Skylar washing things, and getting soaking wet and soapy. Their shirts were unbuttoned so he could see that they were wearing bikini tops underneath. The three boys jaws were hanging. Skylar and Fiona squealed as they sprayed the water at each other and got each other wet. Fiona bent over and leaned forward and back as she washed down the door to the oven. The panel on the capsule Chase was working on sprung up and Oliver's finger let out a little squirt of water. Kaz looked down at Oliver and Oliver shrugged and gave a sheepish smile. "Whoops." He says and chuckles.

"Oliver come wash with us!" Skylar says happily and Oliver's face lit up.

"Okay!" He says and runs towards them.

"No!" Kaz says and holds him back.

"Come on Kaz this is a dream come true!" Oliver says.

"You'll regret it later when they beat us! Stay strong!" He says.

"Oh Chase..." Fiona says seductively and he looks at her. "If you want your shirt back you can come get it." She says innocently and pushes her breasts together with her forearms. Chase gets off of the canon and runs towards her.

"Chase don't do it!" Kaz says. "Your mind is stronger than your body! You don't have to fall into her trap!"

"But I want to so badly." Chase says.

"Just finish the canon. Besides, they'll probably respect you more if you hold back from this golden opportunity." Kaz whispers and Chase and Oliver smile and nod. They both turn and go back to work. Skylar and Fiona look at each other. They had to kick things up a notch.

"Time to engage directly." Skylar says and walks over to Oliver. "Hey there cutie." She says and smiles. Oliver dropped his screw driver on his foot. He keeps staring at Skylar like he didn't even feel it. "You didn't feel that?"

"I'm loving this moment too much right now to feel pain." He says and leans over and smiles at Skylar. Fiona placed her hand on Chase's bicep.

"Wow. Are you the strongest man in the world too?" She asks smoothly and runs her finger along the muscle, making Chase's face heat up.

"Snap out of it!" Kaz calls out to Chase but he turns to Fiona anyway.

"Well actually that's my brother, but uh thank you." He says and Fiona giggles and flutters her eyelashes at him.

"And me!" Oliver calls from the other side of the terrace but Chase ignores him.

"You're pretty hot too." He says and giggles. She blushes.

"Fifi we're almost done!" Eve calls from inside.

"Ha!" Skylar says and breaks out of her hug with Oliver. "We're gonna win now!" She says and she and Fiona retreat inside so that Fiona can put on the finishing touches.

"We've got to work fast guys!" Kaz says and everyone scrambles to put together the final touches on their machines as the sun sets.

"Done!" Fiona says and the girls all hug and high five each other.

"Done!" Chase says and the guys chest bump and high five.

"Alright lets show off our inventions." Kaz says and the girls come out to see the guys work.

"Ladies I would like to present to you a fully functional photon canon made entirely out of stuff from our bedroom. Kaz since you are the official time keeper I would like you to start the stop watch and show them that the blast does indeed last longer than five seconds." Chase says. "Ready, set, go!" Chase says and turns it on. A blast of blue light shoots from the canon and Kaz times it. It finishes and Chase powers it down.

"Seven seconds!" Kaz says.

"Well I've completed my challenge." Chase says confidently. "I'd like to see how you handled yours."

"I'll gladly show you." Fiona says and the guys all go inside to see Fiona and the girl's work. "Gentlemen, I would like to present to you BG 1500. A robot that can detect threats and neutralize them using lasers, made entirely by objects out of this room." Fiona says and flips a switch. It picks it's head up and looks around. It takes a few steps. "If my assistant Bree would like to go upstairs and drop a ball from the ceiling, I will give you a demonstration." Bree ran upstairs using her super speed and soon a ball fell from the ceiling. The robot aimed to fire at it but then it started heating up. "Everyone get down!" Fiona yells and Chase jumped on top of her on floor and put up a force field to protect them both, while sending out others to protect the others from the blast. "What happened?" Fiona asks in disbelief.

"What happened is that we just won!" Kaz exclaims and all the guys cheer and chest bump each other.

"I am officially the smartest person in the world!" Chase says.

"Boys rule!" They all tell the girls.

"Wait what's this?" Eve asks and picks up what looks like a smoking metal rod of some sort.

"Yeah I don't remember that in the pile of stuff." Skylar says. Fiona uses her bionic eye to scan it.

"It was in the arm before the blast." She says. "It's an electric toothbrush."

"Why would there be a toothbrush down here?" Bree asks. "And the only person I know that has an electric toothbrush is Chase..." Bree says and Chase doesn't change his expression.

"Did you sabotage the robot to block the energy flow so it would blow up when it tried to shoot a laser?" Fiona asks him.

"Yeah." Chase says.

"Why would you do that?!" She exclaims. "That's cheating!"

"No it's not." Chase says. "The goal of the challenge is for us to outsmart each other. So while you and Skylar were putting on your little show for us outside, I used my molecular kineses to shove a toothbrush in the arm of the robot while Bree and Eve weren't looking to back up the release for the laser. I outsmarted you, and used an object from the room. So really I followed all the rules." Chase says. Fiona closes her eyes and turns and runs away upstairs.

"Jerk." Eve says and goes upstairs to follow her sister. Bree and Skylar both give him equally upset looks and follow Eve.

Later that night at around 1 am, Chase was up again, making himself a little midnight snack when Fiona came downstairs. "Oh hey!" He says and smiles at her. "I didn't know you were up again."

"I didn't think you'd be either." Fiona says and looks at him curiously.

"Do you find yourself waking up around this time a lot?" He asks.

"Actually now that you mention it, I kind of do." She says.

"Yeah. I usually wake up around this time for a little bit for some reason." Chase says. "Maybe it's something in our bionics?" He suggests.

"I guess so." Fiona says simply.

"Great! Then I guess I won't be so lonely around this time anymore." Chase says with a big smile. "Fruit salad?" He offers.

"No thanks. I think I'll just head back upstairs." She says and turns away from him.

"Hey what's wrong?" He asks. "I thought Eve said you love blueberries and strawberries."

"I do. But not from you." Fiona says coldly and moves past him, and goes towards the kitchen.

"Did I do something?" Chase asks.

"Yeah Chase." Fiona says like a matter of fact. "You did. You sabotaged my project."

"Hey I outsmarted you fair and square." Chase defends.

"That wasn't outsmarting, that was cheating." Fiona says. "And you're smart enough to know that. You were so scared of someone being smarter than you, that you did something dirty like that just to protect your ego." She says and grabs a water bottle out of the fridge before walking past him again. "You'll do anything you want, even if it means you have to play dirty. And doing that makes you no better than Reese." She says and Chase looks down in the bowl he was holding. "Looks like you'll keep spending your nights down here alone." She says and goes back upstairs.

The next morning Kaz came running into the living area where everyone was having breakfast. Fiona and Chase ate in silence, and Chase had a guilty look on his face. Fiona fought hard to resist the urge to forgive him. He was really starting to wear her down with those sad puppy eyes. But she was strong and she was not going to let this jerk break her resolve so easily. "Hey guys Mr. Davenport sent a letter saying which one is smarter! Inside this letter is the name of the smartest person in the world!" Kaz says. Chase looks at Fiona and she sighs. Chase goes over to Kaz.

"Hey Kaz, can I read it first?" Chase asks. "I want to be the first to know." He says and Fiona rolls her eyes.

"Sure buddy." Kaz says. "Here you go." He gives him the letter. Chase takes it and tosses it in the fireplace, burning it completely.

"Dude why did you do that?!" Kaz exclaims.

"That letter was the whole reason we went through all of that yesterday and why Douglas is going to yell at us today when he gets back." Oliver says.

"I don't need to know." Chase says and everyone gasps, but Fiona smiles a bit. "I don't even want to anymore. Either way, one of us would feel inferior to each other and be upset if we knew who was smarter. This way no one is upset, and we both feel equally valuable to the team. I can still honestly say I'm the smartest man. And Fiona can still say she's the smartest woman. We both have our titles and we're both happy. I want to keep it that way. Besides, we all played dirty yesterday to try to beat each other. It wasn't a true competition. But I played the dirtiest and I'm sorry Fiona. I shouldn't have sabotaged your robot. I'll make it up to you, I promise." He says.

"Aw..." Skylar and Eve say and Bree smiles at her brother for dropping his ego for Fiona. Fiona was about to say something but then Douglas walked in and saw the burnt walls and floor and the photon canon outside on the terrace.

"What the hell happened here!" He exclaimed.

"We had another boys vs. girls thing to see who's smarter." Skylar explains. "But it kind of blew up in our faces."

"Yeah I'd say it did!" Douglas yells and Chase notices that Fiona seemed a bit afraid. "You're all spending the rest of today cleaning up this mess!"

"No." Chase says. "You guys get the rest of the day off, I'll clean this place up. It's my fault Fiona's robot blew up and my challenge forced her to use stuff from around the room. So it's my mess to clean up." Chase says and heads to the utility closet to get some cleaning supplies. Douglas seems a bit deterred by Chase's actions but shakes it off and goes upstairs to his bedroom.

Chase had spent the whole day cleaning up the living room and replacing the things that Fiona used to make her robot. He almost slept all the way through the night he was so tired, but due to the chip he woke up again at 1 am like usual. He made himself some tea and decided to watch a movie on his lap top, and reflect on how he ruined things with yet another girl he liked. He had just settled down when he saw Fiona come downstairs in her pajamas, and wearing the green flannel shirt she took from him. It was open and she wore a tank top underneath. "I thought I'd be spending my nights down here alone from now on." He says.

"Yeah, but then I decided to forgive you." Fiona says and smiles. Chase does too and pauses the movie and sets his tea down.

"Really?" He asks. She nods and comes over and sits down on the couch next to him.

"After what you did this morning you showed me that although you have the biggest ego of anyone I've ever met, you can still put it aside sometimes and do the right thing." She says.

"Yeah. It's just hard for me because being smart and my bionics are really the only thing I have." Chase says. "Everyone else always teases me about my height, inability to get a girlfriend, and basically anything else you could think of. Being smarter than people is the one thing I have over them, the one thing that I can be proud of. But it turns everyone against me and they all hate me or are annoyed by me for it."

"It's a blessing and a curse." Fiona says. "Believe me I know. I know it's hard but maybe if you stopped rubbing your abilities in people's faces and bragging about how smart you are, they might like you more. I've been getting to know bionic Chase and he has some flaws but he seems like a really great guy and I like him, but all that's special about him comes from a chip. What about the rest of him? Human Chase, what's he like?" Chase chuckles a bit and looks down into his mug.

"I don't even know." He says. "My life, my personality, everything revolves around my bionics. There's really never been a time where I've done something outside of them. Human Chase doesn't exist."

"Of course he does." Fiona says. "He has to or else you'd just be an android. If you really don't have a side of you that's separate from bionics I'll help you find one." Fiona says and smiles.

"I'm sure Human Chase would love to be found." Chase jokes and Fiona giggles.

"Oh and I cleaned your shirt and wanted to give it back to you." Fiona says and starts to take it off.

"Keep it." Chase says. "It looks good on you." She blushes. "Have you ever seen Star Trek before?" He asks her and she shakes her head.

"What's a Star Trek?" She asks.

"Uh, only the greatest movie franchise of all time." Chase says like a matter of fact. "It's a great movie for nerds who love science and technology like me."

"Can I watch it with you?" Fiona asks and Chase smiles.

"Of course." Chase says and pulls back the blanket for Fiona to sit closer to him and also so she can get warm under it as well. Chase's heart raced as she curled up against his side. His arm close to being wrapped around her shoulders since he laid it on the back of the couch. After everything he'd been through, he felt like he couldn't trust anyone anymore. That his family and the Elite Force were all he had. But almost as if fate had planned it Fiona, the woman he was convinced was his dream girl, had come along and was starting to mend his broken heart. And if all goes well, she just might take it for herself. If he can get over the past enough to trust her with it.

A/N: Okay so that chapter ended up being a lot longer than expected but I hope you all liked it! And I do plan on there being more parts so stay tuned! They will probably be shorter than this though!
