Hi! I have 2 reviews to reply to.

The first one, someone asked how I got red hearts in my story. I used the red heart emojis on my iPod. :)

The second one, I'm not really replying to, more talking about. It was a negative review I got. Now, I'm not taking it to heart. Everyone has their own opinion. And if you don't like my story, you don't like my story. But please keep that opinion to yourself. I'm obviously not upset, though. I just ask that the only criticism I get, be helpful and constructive. Thank you! :)

And before I forget, the last chapter was a request/idea from Susz. I forgot to add that in. Thank you, Susz, for being helpful and supportive! ;)

Now, on to the story! Please R&R!

Chase 17, Bree 19, Adam 20

Chase's P.O.V.

I sigh to myself, relaxing on the penthouse terrace with my eyes closed. You would think living in a big place like Centium City would be stressful and loud. But it's actually quite the opposite. It's very peaceful and quiet.

Probably because he's not here. Now don't get me wrong, I love him. But he can be overbearing sometimes. Just...loud and...painful. I'm happy to finally be away from it.

"PARTY IN THE PENTHOUSE!"

My eyes snap open hearing his booming voice echo through the house.

"Oh you've got to be kidding me."

I stand up, walking into the living room, where I'm immediately swept off the floor.

"Chasey!"

"Adam!" I greet him with forced enthusiasm. "Okay, you can put me down now. Adam...Adam...Adam, put me down!"

He drops me to the ground. Skylar gasps and helps me stand. "Are you okay?"

I nod my head. "Yeah, I'm used to it."

Bree's P.O.V.

I'm so happy Adam and Leo decided to come for a visit! I've missed them like crazy! I know Chase has, too. But...he doesn't seem to enthused about this.

I knew that they were visiting, but Adam wanted to surprise Chase. I'm a little worried about our little brother, though. He looked kind of sad when he saw Adam. Then again, he's never been good with surprises. Maybe he's just a bit overwhelmed.

"So, uh...what are you guys doing here?" Chase asks, giving Leo a hug.

"Do we need a reason to come see our siblings?" Adam questions, as Chase chuckles.

"No, I guess not."

"Hey, why don't you two get settled in the guest room while Skylar and I cook supper?" I suggest.

Leo nods, then looks at Skylar. "Don't let her do too much of the cooking."

"Hey, she's actually improved some!" Chase defends me. I smile at him.

"Thank you, Chase."

He nods. "Yeah, she used to be able to burn water. Now she burns solid foods instead."

I send him a glare. "Just for that you're helping!" I push him into the kitchen, with him mumbling protests. "Move it, mister!" I demand.

Adam's P.O.V.

Leo and I walk back downstairs as Bree, Chase, and Skylar finish setting the food on the table.

"Well, it smells good!" Leo compliments.

"Hey, Chase, where's your high chair?" I tease, punching his shoulder. He rolls his eyes, rubbing his arm as he stands next to Bree.

"Okay, everyone find a seat so we can eat!" She instructs. After everyone is seated, Bree turns to Chase.

"Chase, will you say the blessing?"

He nods his head. Before he can begin, I smirk. "You better stand in your chair so He can hear you from way up there."

He sends a hard at me as Kaz, Oliver, and Leo chuckle. Chase begins praying. Once he finishes, we all dip food into our plates.

"So, how are things at the academy?" Kaz questions, taking a bite.

Leo shrugs his shoulders. "Eh. Same old, same old." I swallow the food in my mouth, before joining the conversation.

"How are things going with this new team?"

Skylar smiles at me. "Great! And guess what? I got my powers back!"

"Oh, Bree told me you had lost them. Congrats on getting them back!" I smile.

"How did that happen?" Leo asks, taking a sip of his drink. Skylar places her hand on Chase's shoulder, who's sitting next to her.

"Chase got them back for me." She smiles at him and he smiles back.

"Do we have to bring that up again?" Oliver huffs. Kaz laughs.

"Oliver's still sad he didn't get them back for her."

"Well I'm just shocked little Chasey did something useful for once!" I joke. Chase takes a sip of his drink, before leaning over to our sister, who's sitting at the head of the table.

She nods her head. "Are you okay?" I can hear her whisper. Chase nods his head, standing to his feet, and walking upstairs.

"What's with him?" Leo asks. Bree just shrugs her shoulders.

"He said he didn't feel good. I'll go check on him after dinner."

Chase's P.O.V.

Okay, maybe I lied about feeling sick, and I do feel bad about that. But I had to get out of there. I had finally escaped Adam's jokes and punches, and now it's back.

The bruises were finally starting to fade, and I was starting to get a little bit of self confidence back. I know I act like his joke don't bother me, but the truth is...they hurt. More than his punches or when he decides to play Bionic Brother Toss.

Bree's P.O.V.

Something tells me Chase isn't sick. He's been acting weird since Adam and Leo got here.

Skylar and I clear the table and wash the dishes, as the boys settle in the living room.

"You think Chase is okay?" Skylar concerns, as we finish up. I nod my head.

"I'm sure he's fine. I'm gonna go check on him."

I walk upstairs to my brothers room, opening the door. He's laying on his capsule bed with his legs pulled up to his chest, tossing a rubber bouncy ball up and down.

"Hey." I walk over and sit in front of him. He sighs.

"Hey."

I give him a questioning look. "Chase, you're not really sick are you."

He looks at me with a shamed expression. "No."

"Then why are you up here? Why aren't you down there with the boys?"

He sighs, pausing his ball tossing. "You wouldn't understand." I cross my arms before replying to him.

"Try me."

He ignores and continues tossing his ball. I take the ball out of his hand, forcing him to look at me.

"Hey, talk to me." He takes a heavy breath.

"Why is Adam here?"

I'm taken back by his question. "Are you not happy?"

He hesitates before answering. "Well...yeah-"

"You hesitated..."

Chase takes a heavy breath. "I am. It's just...I had finally escaped his jokes. And here, no one treated me like a human punching bag. And...I know they're only visiting for a week, but this is going to be a very long week for me." He takes a heavy breath.

"When we were younger, I always...I always looked up to Adam. He was like a hero to me because he was so strong. I thought I would always have a big brother that I could count on no matter what. I know he's always there for important things. But...I've always wanted a big brother I could go to about the little things. Like, girls and stuff. But I can't go to Adam without him cracking a joke at my expense in every sentence."

"Chase, I never knew you felt this way. You know he's only kidding, right?"

"At first, yes. But after years of all this, I'm beginning to think he really means it. And it just gets harder and harder to ignore them. Especially when all he says is true."

I never knew Chase believed everything Adam said about him. "No they are not!"

"Yes it is. I'm short, I'm a nerd, I'm no fun. And it's clear I'm never gonna get a girlfriend. I couldn't even get one out of eight androids to like me!"

I sigh, realizing where he's coming from. Adam's not the only one who picked on him. Kids at our old school always teased him, and the students at the academy always complained about him. But he was just always his self, so I never thought he really cared. I should have defended him more often. I've never really made fun of him, but that doesn't mean I should let Adam get away with it.

I move up to the top of the bed beside my younger brother, wrapping an arm around his shoulder. He leans his head on me as I begin speaking to him.

"Chase, I know a lot of people have picked on you. But you're you. You've always been yourself, no matter what people said. I know some of the comments hurt. And yeah, you may be a little smaller than Adam, and you may be a tad nerdy."

"A tad?" He raises an eyebrow. I hesitate for a minute.

"Okay...a lot. But, can I tell you the truth?" I place my hand on his cheek, making him look up at me. "We wouldn't want you to be any other way. We love you for who you are. Chase...there is so much more to who you are then just smart. You put everyone else before yourself, you've put your life on the line hundreds of times, and you're the most dependable person I know." He just stares up at me with his hazel eyes as I continue.

"And you will get a girlfriend. You just have to wait for the right person. I mean, look at me. I'm older than you, and still have yet to have a relationship worth speaking of. No matter what people say, you just keep being you."

Chase smiles at me. "Thanks, Bree!" He hugs me tightly around the waist. I hug him back, kissing the top of his head.

"Anytime."

"Welcome to Mission Command!" Chase leads everyone to the cyber desk, introducing Adam and Leo to the underground room.

"Whoa! This is awesome!" Adam goes to touch the cyber desk, but Chase slaps his hand away.

"That's not like our cyber desk back at the academy or Mission Creek. With Roman and Riker sneaking in here, I've upgraded the security. Enter the passcode too many times and you'll be on the ground."

"That's why that happened!" Kaz shouts in realization.

Chase rolls his eyes. "You should know the password by now."

"Mm, yes. He should also know how to spell his own name!" Skylar jokes and we all laugh.

"Even I can spell Kaz!" Adam chuckles.

"No, I mean his full name. Kazimearis." Skylar informs him. Adam's eyes widen.

"Wow, your parents did not like you!" He teases as Kaz glares at him. "It's okay. Douglas must not have liked Chase too much, cause he created him as such a disappointment!"

I can see the look of hurt in Chase's eyes as he glares at our brother. That's it. Adam is not making him feel this way anymore.

"Adam, can I talk to you? Upstairs."

As we head to the hyper lift, Chase pulls me back. "Bree, don't." I place my hand on his, giving him a reassuring smile before exiting with Adam.

Adam's P.O.V.

"What's up?" I turn towards my sister as we arrive in the living room.

"You need to stop treating Chase like that."

"Like what? He knows I'm kidding."

She sighs. "No, he doesn't! He's taken everything you and everyone else have ever said about him to heart. That's why he left at dinner! He felt that he had finally gotten away from being your punching bag, to having you back."

I can't help but feel a little hurt by what she's saying. "So, he wasn't happy that I came?"

"Adam, he loves you. But...I can't tell you that he was exactly thrilled. If you had treated him with more respect then he would've been."

I sit on the couch with a heavy sigh. "I had no idea...I mean I...There's nothing I can do to make this right. I have no excuse. I love him, he has to know that."

Bree sits beside me. "He does. But...You're right. You don't have an excuse. But you can make it right."

"How?"

She places her hand on my shoulder. "Talk to him. Apologize and show him you really mean it by easing up on him."

I take a heavy breath. "I'm sure he doesn't want to talk to me." Bree shakes her head.

"He wants to more than you'll ever know. Adam, all he wants is a big brother who he can depend for every little thing without being made fun of. Now, I know you're only kidding. But Chase doesn't. After all this time he's starting to believe everything you've said. Talk to him."

I nod my head, realizing the truth behind her words. "You don't know how...ashamed I am for making our little brother feel like I don't...care."

She rubs my shoulder. "Just go talk to him. It'll be fine."

-❤️❤️❤️-

I walk upstairs, knocking on my brothers door. "Chase? Can I come in?"

"Yeah." I hear his muffled voice respond from the other side of the door.

Cracking open the door, I see him sitting on his bed, reading a book.

"Davenport decided to make you a capsule bed?" He nods his head in response.

I sit in front of him. "Listen...Bree told me how you felt. And...I am so sorry I ever made you feel that way. I never knew...I never knew you believed what I was saying."

He sighs. "Adam...I just...I don't understand why you always pick on me. Or...use me as a punching bag."

"I don't know. I mean, it's what big brothers do."

"I never did that to Leo." He catches me. That's no excuse for me.

"You're right. Chase, I don't have an excuse for any of my actions. All I know to say is...I'm sorry. And I promise I will never make fun or punch you again."

Chase nods his head. "Okay. I forgive you."

I give him a shocked expression. "Wait, just like that?"

He nods once again. "I forgive you if you'll prove to me that you're sincere."

"I will. I promise, little bro." I smile. "C'mere!" I pull him into a bear hug.

"Oof!" He grunts. "Adam, can't breathe!" I chuckle and let him go.

"I love you, man."

He smiles at me. "Love you too."

Bree's P.O.V.

"Well, it's about time!" I smile as Leo and I sit beside our brothers. I sit beside Chase, and Leo beside on Adam.

They both laugh. "You know, this may turn out to be a pretty good week!" Chase grins and we all smile.
