Okay, yeah I know it has been a reeeaaally long time since I updated and I apologize greatly for that. I have been quite busy with school and some IRL drama but I'm back. Plus OMG THEY PUT THE FOURTH SEASON OF LAB RATS IN NETFLIX! I don't have cable so that is the only way I can watch it and so far I am up to spider island. I watched it last week and it was hilarious! Anyway on to the story... Lol


Tasha POV

I was sitting in the waiting room with the kids. I was so stressed, I didn't know where Chase was, I didn't know how Donald was, it was all too much. I didn't know how to deal with it, I just didn't.

"Mom? Are you okay?" Leo asked me.

"Oh honey, don't worry about me. Please."

"No mom, you don't look well. Are you sure you're okay?"

"Listen, I'm fine Leo. Don't worry!"

The doctor came up to us. It was a woman who looked to be in her early to mid 40's.

"What's the news?" I asked anxiously.

"Well, he's doing better so you can see him in his room, 2093. You should know that he broke his right arm and wrist as well as a minor back injury. Nothing too serious but he's in pretty bad shape."

"Oh my god, thank you so much doctor you don't know how happy I am to hear he will be okay." I told her.

"It's the best part of my job. I wish you all good fortune!" She said and then walked away.

"Come on kids, let's go see your father."

Chase POV

4 Weeks Later

After a whole month, my neck was feeling better and I was back to normal! Well, normal without my bionics. I kind of missed them, but I never complained about it. I honestly just wanted to go home... But what was the point?

I didn't know really what to do, I didn't want to stay here.

I sighed and went to the other room. I saw Douglas was working on something.

"Umm, Douglas?" He didn't hear me.

"Douglas?!"

"What? Oh Chase, I have a surprise for you. Tada!" He said showing me my chip.

"Uh... Wait, did you fix it?" I asked him.

"Yes! Not only that, but you can have other powers now too! You have four new powers, super speed, super strength, telepathy, and weather manipulation!"

He shoved the chip into my neck which did not exactly feel the greatest since I just had it cut open not that long ago.

"So...?" He asked

"So...?" I repeated

"So do something! Test them out!" He told me excitedly.

I wasn't sure for a second but I decided to give it a go.

I zoomed across the room and back ten times in two seconds but ended up crashing into a wall in my attempt to stop.

"That takes some getting used to." I said as he helped me up off of the cold concrete floor.

"Wow! I'm faster than Bree now!" I said.

"Yeah! It's amazing isn't it?!"

"Yeah really... Why are you being so nice to me?" That question seemed to surprise him.

"Well... Why not? I mean, you are my... Son, aren't you?" Wait, he thought of me as his son?

"Yeah... I guess so. You have been more of a father to me than Mr. Davenport... I guess."

"Chase, why did you run away?" Oh! I never told him did I?

"Umm... Well... Davenport called me... Useless. I mean, why should I stay somewhere where I am not wanted. Right?"

"Why in the world would he call you useless? You have so much potential!"

"I don't know, I guess he just hates me... And to be honest, I am not too fond of him at the moment. Not that anyone else cared! They didn't even defend me! In fact, I am pretty sure they agreed!"

I was starting to get angry.

"Douglas what would happen if someone saw me?" I asked him.

"Well if someone recognized you they might contact your family."

"Wait... What do you mean?"

"They issued an amber alert for you a couple of weeks ago."

"And you never bothered to tell me this?!"

"Oh, I thought you knew." He said, although he probably knew I didn't.

"Well I am not staying in this dusty room for the rest of my life."

"Relax, I doubt the average person can figure out who you are. Why do you need to go out anyway?"

"I haven't seen the light of day in a month! I forgot what the outside even looks like!"

"No." He told me with quite a stern look on his face which scared me a bit.

He sighed "You can go out when I say you can go out but for now it is probably best to stay in hiding." He said.

"Fine." I pouted as I ran out of the room.

Donald POV

I was released out of the hospital a couple of weeks ago, which was good, but we still have no clue where Chase is, even after sending the amber alert. I was really worried, it's been so long. Where could he be?

What if he's... No, I can't think like that.

Tasha walked through the door.

"You didn't find him." I said.

She sighed and shook her head.

"I don't even know anymore. What happened? We didn't used to be a broken up family, we were happy." She said

I forgot what happiness felt like. She was right, all it took was one little act and everything went downhill. We barely talk to each other anymore.

"I tell myself every single morning that today will be the day we find him... But it's not. It's just like every other day. Disappointment."

I was hurting, both physically, and emotionally. I just kept shoving the thought to the very back of my mind but it was time to face the truth. We may never see Chase again.

I didn't know what I was going to do. Everything just seemed so... Unreal... I would have never in my life thought that something like this would happen. I couldn't prepare for it, how could I?

I painfully due to my injuries got up to check the tracker like I have been every single day since I was released and what a surprise... Nothing.

I have never been so depressed. I honestly just wanted to die. Life wasn't enjoyable anymore. It was miserable. Maybe I deserve this? After all, it's my fault chase is gone.

I stared at the window thinking. Maybe there is still hope... Maybe.

Chase POV

All I wanted to do was go for a walk, but I really wanted to see what my family was doing.

I just assumed that they wouldn't care... But did they? I had to find out, I knew it was risky but why not? I checked in Douglas's room and he was asleep.

I snuck out the door and super speeded to my house. It took a few tries, I am still not used to all the new abilities.

I looked through a window and saw they were all at the dinner table. Davenport's arm was in a sling, and they all seemed... Depressed.

None of them were actually eating, talking, or smiling. Just silence. Leo wasn't even there!

They were all staring at nothing.

For one moment, I thought that maybe it was me who caused all the confusion it seemed they were all experiencing.

No... No way.

I stood there for what seemed like forever watching them all do nothing.

I could feel the warm salty tear roll down my cheek as I thought about how I may have destroyed their lives.

Yeah they obviously did think I was useless at that point in time but I genuinely think they miss me. Or is it that I miss them?

Without thinking I walked up to the door and was about to knock, but fortunately someone pulled me back by my hair.

I quickly turned around to face the person who saved me from possible embarrassment but before I could make out who it was the person hit me square in the face.

I fell to the ground hitting my head on something. I saw the person kneel down beside me and that's when I realized who it was.

Then I blacked out.


I swear I don't hate you guys, but it's so dull without a cliffhanger at the end of every chapter. Haha! Again I very sorry for the late update and I am so very grateful that you read this chapter as well as the others. I promise I will update in the next 2 weeks, probably not even that long. Thank you all!

Also can you guess who it was that hit Chase? ;) Good day to you all!
