~I do not own Lab Rats~
Mr. Davenport's POV:
"You what?" I ask Chase shocked, but also hoping that I heard him wrong.
"Can't see," he gasps. "Mr. Davenport, I can't see!" He starts to panic a bit, so I grab his hand and rub circles on it comfortably.
"Shh..." I comfort. "You need to calm down Chase, panicking will get you nowhere."
"You don't understand!" Chase rips his hand away from mine. "If you couldn't see anything, you would react the same way!"
"Chase-"
"No, I will panic, and I won't calm down. Because, there's nothing you can do!" Chase starts to pace around the lab, consistently crashing into things, but ignoring it every time.
"Please, Chase, just calm down."
"I told you, no! If you had just experienced deafness, and then way over sensitive hearing. You would understand, and you would realize that it's only going to get worse!" I give him a confused look, even though I know he can't see it.
"Chase, I told you, I'm so close to figuring out the problem. I will promise you, now, that I will figure it out before it gets worse."
"So, it is?"
"It is what?"
"It is going to get worse." I instantly realize my mistake.
"Chase..."
"It is, isn't it?"
"I honestly don't know," I sigh. Chase has finally stopped pacing, and is now standing frozen in place, facing opposite of me. I don't have to heart, at the moment, to tell him that I'm behind him.
"That's what I thought." He sighs, and starts to feel for something.
"What are you looking for?"
"A place to sit." I rush over to Chase's side, and try and help guide him. He instantly jerks back from me. "I don't need your help."
"Yes, you do." I try and help him again, but he jerks back once again.
"I told you, I don't-" Chase cuts himself off, as he trips and falls to the ground.
"Need my help now?"
"Not, funny." He groans, picking himself off the ground.
"So, now will you let me help you?"
"Fine," Chase grumbles as he sticks his hand out. I gladly take his hand, and start to direct him to the door.
"You need to know that I get it, you're scared. But, that's no reason to panic, everything's going to be fine."
"Yeah, and how would you know that?" Shoot, I was hoping he would buy it.
"Look, Chase, I made you that promise, and I intend to keep it. Got it?"
"But-"
"Got it?"
"Got it."
"Good!" I smile, and lead Chase into the elevator.
Leo's POV:
"What do you think's going on down there?" I ask.
"I don't know," Bree answers.
"Do you think Chase has woken up yet?" Adam asks.
"I don't know," Bree says while getting annoyed.
"When Chase wakes up, do you think his hearing's going to be normal?" I ask.
"I don't know," Bree replies through gritted teeth.
"How come-"
"I don't know! I don't know the answer to any of your guy's questions!" Bree finally snaps and jerks straight up from her seat. "Why do you ask me them? How would I know the answer!? Don't you think I'm scared about my Chase too? He's also my brother!" Adam and I are both taken aback by Bree's sudden outburst, and we exchange slightly scared expressions.
"Sorry, Bree," Adam and I both mumbles our apologies.
"We're just nervous, but didn't mean to make you snap like that." I explain, sinking back in my seat a little.
"Yeah, we're really sorry Bree," Adam quietly says.
"It's...it's okay," Bree sighs while sitting back down. "I guess I'm just a little on edge, and really nervous."
"And scared," I add.
"And scared," Bree repeats.
"And annoyed."
"Yeah, that too."
"And gassy," Adam tries to add.
"Yeah, and-" Bree suddenly realizes what Adam had said. "Wait? What, no! Huh? No! No, no, no, no! Not that, but all the things Leo said. I'm just really worried about him."
"Well Bree," I get up from my seat at the table, and walk over to her to put my arm around her. "We're all worried, and with you on everything else." She looks up at me with sad eyes.
"I'm scared, Leo."
"I know you are."
"What if he changes, or something happens to him that changes everything? What if suffers badly? What if-"
"Enough with the 'what ifs' and instead focus on what is actually happening."
"You're right, Leo."
"I am? I mean, of course I am."
"Thanks, that helped."
"Hey, that's what I'm here for." Bree chuckles, and gives me light punch in the arm. I give a fake look of pain, and Bree laughs.
Suddenly, the sound the elevator opening catches our attention, because we all know who it has to be.
"Chase!" Adam yells, while he bolts from his spot and straight into Chase for a hug. I take notice that he didn't wince, or react in pain at all at Adam's loudness.
"So, your hearing's back?" I ask, while approaching Chase with Bree next to me.
"Um, I need to talk to you three real quickly." Big D says, as he guides Chase away from us and onto the couch. Adam doesn't seem so happy about having to let go.
"Why did you lead him to the couch?" Bree asks as soon as Big D returns.
"That's what I wanted to talk to you guys about. You see, Chase's normal hearing is back."
"Yay!" Adam cheers.
"Yes, but a new glitch has surfaced." We all give confused looks. "Chase can't see." The three of us all gasp simultaneously.
Adam's POV:
"What do you mean he can't see?" Bree asks nervously.
"It means that he sees nothing, and-" I try to explain, but she cuts me off.
"I know what it means, Adam."
"Then don't ask," I put my hands up in defense.
"Putting that comment aside," Mr. Davenport starts. "I'm going to be in the lab seeing if I can make a breakthrough on Chase's glitching, while you three keep him company."
"Alright," Bree smiles and goes to join Chase on the couch.
"Please, do me a favor, and don't act like he's helpless. He's not, and I know that he doesn't feel that way." Mr. Davenport finishes, and then he heads back to the lab.
"Okay, this will be fun," Leo says in a slightly sarcastic tone. The two of us join Bree and Chase, with Leo on the couch, and me on one of the chairs.
"So..." I say awkwardly. "What are we going to do?" Bree and Leo shrug, while Chase doesn't move.
"How about we watch..." Leo's voice trails off, as he remembers that he can't watch anything. "Never mind."
"Oh, we could play a video game," I suggest. Leo and Bree both give me glares, but I don't know why.
"Adam," Bree gives me a hard punch in the arm.
"Hey, what was that for?"
"You know Chase can't see, how can he play?" Bree hisses through her teeth.
"Oooh..." Whoops. "Sorry, Chase."
"It's not your fault, Adam; it's not any of your guy's faults." Chase's eyes begin to create tears. "It's mine."
"No, Chase, it's not-" Chase cuts Bree off.
"Yes, yes it is. You all know that. I'm the one who can't see, so I'm the one who's keeping you from doing what you want and having fun. Just leave me out of everything, and ignore the fact that I'm here." The three of us look to Chase with sorry in our eyes, but he can't see that.
Chase suddenly gets up from his seat, and tries to leave the room. However, he has a lot of trouble, as he repeatedly bumps into things and can't seem to go in the correct direction.
"Chase..." I end up being the one to get up and help him. "Come back, it's not your fault, and I'm sure that we can figure out some game to play."
"No, Adam, just let me go," Chase squirms in my arms.
"Nope, not going to happen." I decide to pick up Chase, through his repeated protests, and place him back onto the couch.
"Adam!" He yells at me while trying to get back up, but Bree is there to hold him down.
"Chase, we are going to find a game for you to play," Bree assures him.
"But-"
"No buts," Bree says as I chuckle. "What?"
"You said buts!" She rolls her eyes at me. "So, what can we play?"
"I know!" Leo suddenly perks up. "Guess that sound."
"What's that?" Bree asks.
"Well, one person won't look, while another person makes a sound with some object. The other person will guess it."
"That sounds lame," Chase admits.
"No, it sounds awesome!" I cheer.
"Yeah, Chase, give it a shot. I'm sure you'll do great," Bree urges.
"Alright, fine."
"Yay," Bree claps/ cheers as she gets up from her spot on the couch.
"I'll go first, and Chase will guess." Bree smiles and looks for the perfect object.
"I know already that this is going to be a long game," Chase mumbles loud enough for me to hear.
After more than twenty rounds, lunch, and a broken vase, we finally announce Chase the winner. He got all of his correct, except for one, on his first try. I, for one, got one correct.
"Now what?" Leo asks, plopping onto a stool. Bree's about to say something, just as the elevator opens and Mr. Davenport comes out excitedly.
"I think that I might have hit a major breakthrough, but I need Chase."
"Finally," Chase groans while standing up.
"Adam, would you?" Mr. Davenport gestures to Chase.
"What? Oh, sure," I walk over and help Chase find his way.
"We can come too, right?" Leo asks.
"Why wouldn't you be able to?" Mr. Davenport raises an eyebrow. "Come on, let's go." I help guide Chase toward the elevator, and we all pile in.
"Lead him to his capsule," Mr. Davenport instructs to me when we reach the lab.
"Let's go, Chase," I bring him over to his capsule and help him get in. I close the capsule door, and join Bree, Leo, and Mr. Davenport by the cyber desk.
"Okay, Chase, you're going to feel a slight tingling sensation, but don't worry about it." Mr. Davenport explains, and Chase nods in understanding.
Mr. Davenport types a few things into the cyber desk, and lights flash through Chase's capsule. He types some more, and the lights disappear. More typing, and almost immediately, Mr. Davenport's face lights up.
"I got it! I figure it out!" We all high-five, but the glory is short lived as Chase's pain-filled screams fill the room.
A/N: Don't you just love cliffhangers!? Well, I for one like writing them, but not reading them. Also, after seeing You Posted What!? I have to ignore everything that happened in that episode when writing this story, and I mean everything. Besides that, the episode was a-ma-zing! One of my favs! If you haven't seen it yet, which is probably most of you, I will try not to spoil anything.
I should really be working on my final essay for government, but instead I'm giving you all a new chapter! Oh well, I have tomorrow to work on it too! :P
Review Replies:
PurpleNicole531: Yeah… the part about hoping the craziness ends soon, might happen. Or, I could make it last for a very long time. I guess you'll just have to wait!
Sunwolfee: I feel the same way when my name's there too! Also, with the 'you never know what could happen' is so true.
Coacoa: Toothless eyes! I love them! Yes, I did meet your sister, but don't worry about what she said about you. She only said that you're her sister, that's pretty much it. I wish I could have a sister that likes the same fandom as me. Instead, I have to settle for an older brother, who would never be interested. Lastly, you're so welcome!
Avengers13: Thank you, I try. 8D
Thanks for reading! :P
