A/N: Hello! First Peterphobia (fear of shoes) Second enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 10
Adam did not wake up until the next day. It took him a while to realize he was awake everything was still black and empty he could hear soft breathing beside him and had no clue who had been watching over him.
"Hello?" he asked cautiously.
"Morning, Blind Bandit." Felicity answered having fallen asleep herself but not for anywhere near as long. "For someone who was 'fine' you certainly slept a long time." She looked at the ground and paused in confusion.
'Why are there shoes on the floor?' She thought still not even realizing that she was wearing shoes the whole time yesterday.
"Yes, well I may not have been as fine as I thought I was Feliss." He said simply smiling
"It's 11:50 by the way." Felicity told him in a slight truth... it was the truth... she just didn't give the day.
"In the morning or at night?" he asked shocked
"Morning." She answered continuing the troll.
"I slept a full day or just an hour?" Adam asked
"Both, technically." She answered since he slept 25 hours.
"I'm sorry for keeping you here, you should get some sleep." he said feeling bad
"I did, just not as long. I was tired anyways because of the nightmares."
"Alright, but still you deserve more sleep if you want it Feliss."
"I'm fine Adam. I got plenty of sleep within that 25 hour period." Felicity got up and tripped over the shoes. 'Yep, shoes are evil.' She though standing back up.
"Did you just fall?"
"Yeah, I just tripped over some clothes." She answered pushing the shoes under the bed. She wasn't lying... shoes ARE an article of clothing.
"Your okay though right?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Felicity answered helping him up. "Don't worry. I picked it up."
"Sounded like kicking whatever it was under the bed to me."
"That was probably just a tactical hallucination. They say they happen a lot with the recently blinded." Felicity lied but the last part was a fact.
"Are you saying I'm crazy?" he asked
"No, besides there's nothing wrong with being crazy. It's extremely common anyways, if you don't believe me, ask my dad and/or Dr. Baljeet."
"Now I am confused am I crazy or not?"
"No, you are not crazy. You subconscious is just imagining things since it can't see anything."
"Fine, but I still don't like this whole blind thing." he mumbled
"On the bright side, you made it feel shorter by sleeping for 25 hours straight."
"That makes me feel really lazy."
"Don't be too hard on yourself. It's nearly impossible to judge time durations blind. Especially while you're sleeping. I mean, you asked me if you were asleep for just an hour."
"Still I feel lazy." he sighed
"Would you have rather had me wake you up?"
"Maybe, it depends on how you would have woken me."
Felicity thought about it for a second. "Probably with a kiss."
"Then yes, I would have loved that." he smiled
"I'll keep that in mind. Now, I don't know about you but I'm starving from not eating for 25 hours straight... not my best move."
"Why didn't you eat Feliss?" Adam asked worried.
"'Cause I don't imagine Feliss tastes very yummy. With all those weird chemicals in her she might be poisonous." Felicity joked as if you meant for her to eat herself.
Adam laughed "You know what I meant." he said calming down
"Because I didn't want for you to wake up while I was gone."
"Still you could have gotten a snack."
"Well, since we had just gotten through breakfast when you fell asleep, once the hunger started to get to me you had been asleep for hours so I started to procrastinate thinking, 'He could wake up any second, I can't let him wake up alone.' and you know that would have been just my luck if I listened to my stomach instead of my heart." Felicity explained ironically since she was getting on his case about being to self-sacrificing before he fell asleep.
Adam was apparently thinking along the same lines; "And you called me self sacrificing." he smirked.
"Do as I say not as I do. Your the blind one I'm the guide. Therefore, I'm supposed to be self-sacrificing." Felicity explained like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Now, can we head to a kitchen?"
"I thought we were already headed there?" Adam said confused.
Felicity looked around at the bedroom they were still in. He really WAS getting that. "We are I was just running a quick test." She lied in embarrassment as they really did head off.
"Alright, so anything interesting happen while I slept?" he asked. He knew she had not left, but knowing his family and James they had probably been by at some point.
"You're dad showed up right when we got here and the rest of the team showed up at different times but towards the beginning to check up on you since Isabella told 'em what happened and they most have figured out to find us here." Feliss explained not mentioning the fact that James offered to get her something to eat which she turned down… she'd never hear the end of it… just like when she burned that water.
"And none of them asked if you needed a break?"
"Ferb did but he and Phineas came in pretty much right after your dad left so I said no… no one came since…" She stopped as it clicked. "noon… oh god… please tell me they didn't do what I'm thinking they did."
"What, do you think they did?" Adam asked noticing her worried tone.
"No one showed up after noon… what was suppose to happen at that time?" Felicity hinted at.
Adam gasped "You don't think they tried to do the mission without us!?"
"That's what I'm afraid of."
"Why would they do that? They all knew that the mission was off if for some reason one of us could not participate!" Adam said shocked at the thought.
Felicity covered his mouth. "Keep it down. Do you want to get in trouble with Candace and Isabella 1?" She reminded having been not only quiet but very vague the whole time.
"At this point it does not matter Feliss if they went on that mission without us odds are one of them is going to die!" Adam said slightly quieter then before.
"Great to see you have so much faith in your sister." Felicity commented before sighing. "I am honestly really worried too though. I mean, the mission directly incorporated our super speed and strength. I don't know how they'd be able to carry it out without us."
"You know I have faith in her, but given the plan.." Adam trailed off
"I know, I don't approve of it anymore then you do… wow… starting to see where Candace is coming from."
"What are you two yelling about." A voice which Adam hopefully recognized as his sister asked from behind them as they made it to the kitchen.
"Isabella?" he asked hoping it was not Isabella 1.
"Yeah, it me." Isabella reassured as Felicity let out a sigh of relief.
"Oh good so you did not go on the mission?"
"Well… actually… uh…" Isabella stammered nervously. "IT WAS MR. DANIALS' IDEA!"
"You guys went without us!" He said anger rising up in him.
Isabella took a step back in slight fear hoping not to get in another actual fight with her brother. "Y-yes."
"Why would you do that! Some of the plan revolved around me or Felicity's super speed and strength!"
"Mr. Daniels said that with the device you guys came up with they wouldn't be needed… he was right. It took some major rewriting but the mission was a success and everyone got out safe." Isabella explain still clearly terrified.
"So you got Katie then?" Adam asked still angry
"Yes, she's in Resistance prison if you want to talk to her but she is VERY confused as to how she ended up there."
Adam sighed. "Sorry for freaking out Isa, I just did not think you would all go on with the mission without us. You said no one was hurt?"
"That is correct, we kept everyone else frozen in time and had no betrayals so there was no difficulties."
"Alright I'm sorry for losing my temper." Adam said
"It's ok, I'm not completely innocent on that issue. Remember the thing with Phineas?" Isabella reminded confusing Felicity but she figured it must have happened before they met.
"You mean the one that lead to the sword fight?" Adam asked
"Yes, that one."
'Now THAT sounds like an interesting story.' Felicity thought but didn't ask since it sounds like something that's uncomfortable to talk about.
"I don't think I should face Katie blind, but if Felicity wants to see her or you Isabella I would not mind listening in." Adam said in a thinking tone of voice, also successfully changing the subject.
"Probably a good idea, I was mostly talking to Feliss with the offer. Anything in particular you'd like to be asked?" Isabella asked frankly glad with the subject change, too.
"Vanessa more extreme defenses and...why she betrayed us. Other than that the questions are yours to ask." Adam said carefully.
"One of us should stay with Adam so do you wanna go Feliss or should I?" Isabella asked.
"I'll do it but can I get something to eat first?" She answered pointing to the kitchen door.
Isabella frowned at this. "You didn't eat while he was asleep did you?" Felicity didn't answer but that told her it. "FELICITY! You NEED to eat."
Felicity looked away blushing slightly and rather than answer her she ran to the kitchen grabbed two apples and returned to them, ignoring Isabella rolling her eyes. She gave one to Adam.
"Thank you Feliss." Adam said taking the apple.
"Felicity, did you remember to wash the apples?" Isabella asked because: one, she knows Feliss; two, she didn't here the sink turn on.
"Shot." Felicity took the apple from Adam and went back to wash them. (Italics) 'Nice job, Feliss, you can't even do simple fruit right.'
She returned to them with freshly cleaned apples. Adam smiled at her.
"Thank you Feliss." he said pulling her into hug.
After a short while they broke apart, Felicity handed him back the apple, and took a bite of her own. "Your welcome." she responded once she swallowed the bite. Man, everything tastes delicious when you're starving.
"Alright now that you two are eating lets go." Isabella said sounding some what motherly.
Annoyed at her tone Felicity commented. "You don't need to mother us you know."
"I'm not trying to mother you I've just been avoiding Candace since we got back." she said making sure Candace was no where to be found.
"So, I take it she doesn't know? Also, what about the other part of the mission?" Felicity questioned as they headed off and Feliss continued to eat her apple.
"Yes and I said the mission was a success, didn't I?" Isabella turned her attention to Adam. "Congratulations Bro."
"You got some of Vanessa's DNA, impressive." Adam said with smirk as they walked towards Katie's cell.
"This means I can kick her out at any point in time."
Isabella shrugged modestly. "It wasn't very hard at all with her frozen in time."
"Still I'm impressed." Adam said giving her a smile.
"We can't take the full credit though, if it wasn't for the two of you's invention it would have never been possible."
"Then you should be thanking Feliss." Adam said as Felicity helped him down the hall.
Isabella turned to Feliss. "Then thank you Feliss."
Felicity didn't answer, she still didn't approve of them doing the mission without them. "We're here." She informed Adam as they had gotten to the door to the prison chambers.
"Well one of you take me too the observation room and the other go interrogate Katie please?" Adam said wishing he had his eyesight back.
As they had previously agreed, Isabella took her brother to the observation room and Felicity opened the door coming into the containment units.
Katie looked up as the door swung up and her eyes bulged in horror as Felicity walked in smiling in a sweet yet scary way.
"You!" she gasped out.
Felicity jokingly pointed at Katie, "You." She said calmly. "Now that we got introductions out of the way I have some questions to ask you."
"You have questions? What about Adam?" she asked somewhat hopefully in Felicity's opinion.
"He's otherwise occupied." Felicity answered vaguely not wanting to let her know about his eyes. "He did give me a few questions he want me to ask for him though."
"Oh, did he now and why would I ever answer any of your questions?" she said stubbornly. She seemed slightly angry that Adam was not asking the questions himself.
"Because, with just the push of the button he can now completely take over DEI if you don't cooperate." She threatened though it would not be cause and effect. "That and if your reaction to my arrival is any indication, you're afraid of me."
"I...He can't your lying!" she screamed.
"Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not, the real question is whether or not you're will to run the risk that I might be telling the truth."
Katie looked conflicted, but finally caved. "What do you want to know?"
"Well, first off, what changed betray us in the first place? Or were you really never on our side like with me and Vanessa?"
"She needed someone close to Adam. I was the perfect candidate, so she threatened my family at first and then over a few months I started to well enjoy my role as spy."
Felicity was surprised at this but didn't show it. "A few month? When and how exactly did she first contact you?"
"Well about a week after her dad died, she came to me I found her in my home with a knife pressed to my mothers throat. She told me that if I did not do as she said she would kill her and dad. That's how it started."
Adam's jaw practically hit the floor, he couldn't believe his ears… Felicity was even more shocked even showing a tiny bit of it. She was working for Vanessa in that time. So… how could she have not known that?
"Oh, I can guess what your thinking Vanessa decided not to tell you on the chance you were a traitor. I was told to act if you came along." Katie said simply
It kind of made sense, why reveal a traitor on their side to someone with such a high risk of being a Double Agent, which is what Felicity was… not a traitor, there's a big difference. "What are some of Vanessa's other defenses?" she asked from Adam's list though she knew a large chunk of them from when she worked there, there could be new one's and/or one's they never told her about for the same reason.
Katie smirked however and said; "Sorry, but that's all the info you get out of me Adam wants more he can come talk to me himself."
"Or he could just activate his little device effectively taking over Doofenshmertz Evil Incorporated." She reminded with a very spooky smile.
"Maybe, but some of those defenses would still protect her, do you want to run the risk that he'll die trying to get to her?"
"Oh, trust me, we have nothing to worry about of that."
"Maybe, maybe not, but as I said no matter what you threaten me with I will not say anything else until Adam is the one asking the questions."
"If you insist." Felicity turned to the security camera pretending Adam could actually SEE her. "Fire it up, Adam."
"I'm on it Feliss." Adam said through the comm.
She turned to Katie, "He's on it, sure you don't wanna take that back before it's too late?"
Katie smiled "Go ahead, she'll still have her defenses."
"You don't know what your dealing with." Felicity warned smugly.
Just as Katie was about to respond when Adams voice came through the comm.
"Feliss come here please."
Concluding that she's just looking like an idiot, Felicity blurred off to the Observation Room since it was a short way she was there in less then a Millisecond. "Yeah, guess I kind of brought that on myself, didn't I?"
"Kinds yeah." Adam sighed. "I wonder why she wants to talk to me so much?"
"I'm not really sure." Felicity answered puzzling the thought.
"I think she still likes you Adam." Isabella said speaking for the first time since Felicity had arrived.
"No, it has to be something else." Felicity hissed clutching the table.
Isabella shook her head. "No, I'm pretty sure she still likes him, didn't you hear the hopeful tone in her voice when she asked for Adam the first time?"
"No, you must have been imagining things." Feliss hissed also getting annoyed that she wasn't getting it.
Isabella however was getting it, but she was enjoying herself trying to see where Felicity's patients ended.
"I don't think I am I mean I grew up with her I can tell."
Felicity was currently trying really hard not to punch Isabella in the face right now but she know that even with her being her and him being blind, no one could get away with that. "So then, you must have known that she was a traitor the whole time, right? Since you know everything about her."
"I never said I knew everything about he, just most things." Isabella said defiantly. Adam felt like rolling his eyes at this point and really wished he could too.
"Adam, your sister's not letting me be in denial!" Felicity whined rolling her eyes… but no one can tell… and that'll never change. She just didn't want to admit that his ex-girlfriend was trying to take the only boys she's ever loved away, what was wrong with that?
"Oh, Isabella just let her be in denial it won't hurt anyone." Adam said simply. Felicity stuck her tongue out at Isabella.
"Adam, you're girlfriend's sticking her tongue out at me." Isabella whined mocking Felicity.
"Felicity stop sticking your tongue out at Isabella." Adam said in the same patient tone.
Felicity put her tongue back in "Okay, blind bandit." and Isabella, though surprised by the sudden nick name, stuck hers out but Feliss chose to ignore it. "So, what do we do know, we can't just send Adam in there blind but it's the only way she'll answer anymore questions." Felicity pointed out changing the subject.
"Yeah I wish we..." Adam paused a smile making it's way to his face. He had a plan "That machine we made it can slow down and speed up time! If we can get it to focus on me specifically we can speed time up to the point where my eyes would be all better!"
"That's a great idea!" Felicity turned to Isabella. "You guys had it last. Where is it?"
Isabella pulled a small hand held device it was all black and had many silver buttons. "Just set it for seven days and hit the button on the right." she said shocked that none of them had thought of this before.
Felicity almost grinned as she punched in the commands and activated the device.
Adam had the very odd sensation of being thrown forward seven days body wise. It was odd and at the end he was hungry and thirsty, but he did notice his eyes felt much better.
"Hey, could one of you help get these off and the other get me some water please?" he asked
Felicity, being faster out of the two by billions mph, bluffed off to get the water as Isabella removed the bandages. "Oh my god." She uttered in absolute disbelief.
Felicity returned not even a second later with a water bottle and a WASHED pear, despite him not asking she know he was starving too, handing them to him. Even she looked absolutely amazed. "Now THAT has to be the coolest thing I've ever seen." Felicity handed him a mirror as he downed the water so he can see for himself.
He immediately noticed what they were talking about… what stared back at him… well, they looked kind of like reddish silver ninja stars in flight through a black background. The pupils however, were normal… normal normal.
"Wow! I hope my eyes never change again cause this the greatest look they have ever had." Adam said smiling and noticing how everything was more clear and detailed than ever before.
"I definitely must agree." Isabella commented since they ARE really freaking' awesome. "How well do they work?"
"They work great! I've never seen things so clearly before!" Adam said excitedly
"Great, now go freak Katie out with them." Isabella recommended with the reason they did this.
"I will." Adam said smirking
"Then go." Felicity told him watching Katie from the screen. "And try and find out why she just wanted to talk to you."
Adam vanished and appeared in the interview room his hair covering his eyes.
"Hello Katie."
Katie looked up at the door and looked considerably happier. "Adam."
"You wanted to talk to me?" Adam said leaning against the door his bangs still covering his eyes.
"You had some questions to ask me?"
"I do and your going to answer them for me. You refused to answer unless I was asking the questions why?"
"She said they were your questions, sounded like a cop out to me."
"Then I guess Isa was wrong about your reasoning well to clarify they are me questions."
"What did she think they were?" Katie asked.
"She was under the impression you still liked me." Adam said looking at her from under his bangs.
Katie started laughing her head off. "Now THAT'S the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard."
Adam smiled at that. "Here I thought she may have point." Adam shifted his hair out of his eyes. "So lets talk."
Katie's eyes widened as she saw his. Though she didn't say anything about it.
"It's the eyes right? They are a bit disconcerting, but I have my questions. First would Vanessa see it coming if I took her company over?" he said looking her right in the eyes
"Considering your past. She'd see you trying to take it over coming and because of that, it will never actually happen." Katie answered overly confident.
Adam smirked and began to laugh. It was not his usual calm laugh it was a cold laugh that made even Felicity tremble slightly. "You really think I can't do it? You really must have forgotten who I am and who I'm friends with." he said pulling out a thin tablet looking device.
"Do you know what this is Katie?"
"It looks like a tablet," Katie answered honestly. "but if I had to guess, I'd say it's that device SHE was talking about earlier." Katie said 'she' with clear disdain combined with the fact that she didn't even use her name it spoke volumes.
"Yes Katie good girl that's exactly what it is one push of a button and her whole company and all that comes with it is mine. Oh, and jealousy towards Feliss is very unbecoming of you."
Katie didn't know what to do, if what he said was true… it's not something she could just gamble with like that.
"So, still think she'll see it coming?" he asked
"Yes, she knows that attempts at taking over from you guys are inevitable. However, on will it be successful this time… probably." Katie admitted in defeat.
"Good so I'm only going to ask two questions and all I ask for is honesty." Adam said though she could tell it was a threat.
Katie scooted back further in her cage, an action that was not unnoticed by anyone. "What are they?"
"Is there anything there can physically stop me from getting to Vanessa? Weapons, Robots, overly muscled henchmen that sort of thing."
"Yes, yes, and yes. Thousands of alarms scattered ALL across the building, too to release all of the above if it doesn't recognize you as someone on our side." Katie explained in dead honestly.
"Alright there has to be a way around those, but that's for later. There is one thing that I have been wanting to know since I found out about your betrayal it's a bit more personal, but did you ever actually like me ?"
"Of course, Adam." Katie answered looking hurt that he had to ask. "Besides, when we started dating I didn't even know about Vanessa or her father. Hell, I didn't even know about this dimension. As for a way around it, I might be wrong about this this but as far as I know Felicity was never removed from the system. So, the alarms might ignore her."
"Oh, so Felicity gets to lead the assault you just made here day Katie. One more personal it builds on the last one, what changed Katie? What made you willing stab me in the back and help kill me mother. A simple threat would not make you do those things you either wanted to on some level, or there was something she had over you. What happened?"
"…" Katie was perplexed herself on this. "I don't… know."
Adam's eyebrows rose almost into his hair. "How can you not..." he trailed off thinking for a few minutes. "Hold out your hand!" he said suddenly walking over to the medical kit on the wall and pulling out an empty syringe
Though a little nervous from slight trypanophobia (fear of medical needles) at the sight of the syringe but nonetheless held out her hand not wanting him the push that button because of her disobedience.
However she was shocked when Adam sank the needle into her wrist and filled the syringe with her blood.
"Is it over?" She asked, her eyes clutched shut.
"Yeah give me a minute." Adam said leaving the room he was met outside with Isabella and Felicity.
"It doesn't make any sense, how could she not know why she did what she did?" Isabella shrugged at her own question. "Oh well, hopefully that," she pointed to the blood filled syringe. "will answer that."
"I think it will Isa." Adam said taking off to Baljeet's lab and hoping he was wrong about something for once. Baljeet jumped when Adam appeared.
Felicity had tried to stop him but it was too late. "Adam! I told you to keep those on for a week!" Dr. Baljeet lectured surprised as heck to see Adam without the bandages.
"Sorry Baljeet it's a long story, but I need you to do me favor could you scan this blood for any foreign chemicals?" Adam said smiling as he looked him in the eyes and Felicity arrived.
Ignoring Adam's new eye design Dr. Baljeet took the syringe, put a drop on a slide covering it and put it on his microscope. "Wow." He uttered as when he took a look before looking up and Adam and Felicity. "Where did this come from?"
"Tell me what's in the blood and I'll tell you where it came from." Adam said as he and Felicity gave similar smirks.
"I'm not sure what it does but the only other place I've seen it was when I took the sample from you're eye, yesterday. The this sample has a considerably larger quantity." Dr. Baljeet explained.
"Loyalty medicine!" Adam gasped out.
"It came from Katie's blood stream." he said after a pause
"That must be why she betrayed y… HOW DID YOU GET A SAMPLE OF KATIE'S BLOOD?! Still warmed nonetheless so you had just taken it a few seconds ago!"
"Well, she may or may not be down in one of the holding cells." Adam said innocently.
Dr. Baljeet went to reach for a communicator to tell Candace and Isabella 1 but Felicity was by him restraining both his hands in about an eighth of a millisecond. With her super-strength it was pretty darn near impossible to get out of.
"You can't tell them, yet it's kind of a secret for the moment can you make an antidote?" Adam asked the restrained Baljeet.
"If I can keep the blood to do a little reverse engineering with the chemical I more then likely can whip something up but it could take a while you two off all people know how stubborn those chemicals are." Dr. Baljeet explain not bothering to try and get out of Felicity's grip because he knew it would be know use. Felicity let go of him but kept an eye on him to make sure he does not go after the comms unit again.
"Do it then, but just to be sure Feliss take him comm please." Adam asked with a smile.
Felicity took his comm and the two of them blurred off back to Isabella. You realize that he could just go find them in person if he really want to tell them, right?" Felicity asked once they got there.
"He won't you and I scare the hell out of him." Adam smirked.
"Ain't that the truth." Felicity commented confidently.
"So, what's the verdict?" Isabella asked since she wasn't there.
"Chemicals a lot of them more than me or felicity in her blood." Adam said simply
"I take it they did something to her brain to keep her loyal to Vanessa." Isabella accurately guessed.
"Right in one!" Adam said simply. Then, he turned to Felicity. "I know, what your thinking Feliss. So, lets get this out of the way, no matter what Katie's feelings are, I love you."
"I love you, too." Felicity said with a smile then kissed her boyfriend.
Isabella cleared her throat. "Sorry to break you two up, but are we just going to watch over Katie now?"
Felicity broke apart the kiss looking very disappointed that it was cut short. "Should we tell Katie about the Chemical or would it just freak her out?"
"I'm all for freaking her out personally it'll be fun. Did you have any ideas?" Adam asked turning to Feliss
"I think we should just flat out tell her and watch her freak out," Felicity suggested with a smirk. "and by we I mean I should be there, too." There's no way she's missing this.
"That should be fun!" Adam said holding open the door for the two them. They walked inside, and sat facing Katie all of them smiling.
Katie looked up at them, wiping off the spot where the needle was injected, with her finger. "So… what did you find out?"
"Well you had a gigantic amount of chemicals in your blood that we assume was making you obey Vanessa." Adam said casually
However, instead of freaking out like they hoped Katie puzzled this thought and concluded. "Pazzazium Infinanite… that actually makes sense."
"I'm sorry what did you say?" Adam asked confused
"Pazzazium Infinanite." Katie repeated what is VERY fun to say. "It was discovered in the late 1800's but no one had any idea what it did. That was, until HEINZ Doofenshmertz discovered that when brought into a human or even animal body by any method, it goes after the brain like a drug taking control of the victims loyalties. Once she was old enough he taught it to Vanessa so you both have it but neither of them knew why it didn't effect you two."
"Oh!" Isabella said.
"I think it's cause were to stubborn." Adam said
"I second that motion." Felicity agreed leaning back gracefully in her chair with a huge smirk.
"So until Baljeet can make an antidote your stuck in this cage."
"What about the tablet thing?" Katie questioned.
"Oh I'm going to activate that in a few minutes." Adam said pulling out the tablet.
Katie's eyes widened but she rethought their words. They said that if she didn't cooperate. They never said that if she did they wouldn't. "You tricked me!" Katie hissed more directed and Felicity then Adam.
"Yeah, we did." They said together smirking.
"Don't worry, you won't care when the chemicals are all cured anyway."
Katie however, wasn't mad at them… she was mad at herself for being stupid enough to fall for it. "…How did I end up here anyways?"
"We froze time." Adam said shrugging.
"Oh, ok." Katie responded obviously not surprised by their ability to do that.
"Man, I forgot how hard you are to surprise." Adam sighed
"With you guys' mechanical abilities I doubt anyone who knows you guys could possibly be surprised by that." Katie reminded.
"She has a point." Isabella conceded
"That I do, right next to the hole in my head… I also have a hole in my head but that's beside the point." Katie joked but Adam and Felicity didn't find it funny at ALL.
"It's harder to find humor in that with actual holes in your head."
Katie's face immediately fell. "Oh… right."
"Yeah.." Adam sighed
"Why are we still here?" Felicity asked coldly while glaring at Katie.
"I'm not sure, Isa are you staying?"
"What would I do with her?" Isabella questioned seeing no point in her staying.
"Alright then grab my arm." Adam said holding his arm out.
Isabella grabbed his arm knowing what was going to happen.
They all blurred away leaving Katie alone as they arrived at the library. Unfortunately Candace and Isabella 1 were there.
"Hello Candace, Isabella 1." Felicity greeted casually hoping they don't already know. "What bring you two to the library?"
"Looking for you and Adam and Isabella, we already found these guys." Candace said gesturing to James, Mr. Daniels, Phineas, Ferb, and Adyson 1.
Felicity shrugged playing the ignorant card; after all, they truly weren't on the mission and hadn't even known about it. "Well, you found us. What do you need?"
"Well we heard that a mission was carried out without our approval and we thought of you two." Isabella 1 said
"A mission?" Felicity asked in confusion. "Adam and I haven't even left then mansion since he got back…" She then corrected herself. "actually there was one time but we were literally leaning on it just needing some fresh air. How could we have possibly went on a mission? If you don't believe me, you could get a polygraph."
"Yeah, I never went on any missions my eyes were wrapped up until maybe twenty minutes ago so I couldn't have."
"Yeah, and I had to keep an eye on him and help guide him around the mansion so I couldn't have either."
"They had no part in it." Mr. Daniels said.
Isabella 1 spun around on her heal to face Mr. Daniels. "So you admit that YOU did?" She questioned in an accusatory tone disregarding the radioactive love birds for the moment.
"Yes, but to be fair I fund Firestorm so I have absolute say in what mission do and what missions don't happen." he said. He was not about to be intimidated and talked down to by a 16 year old.
Isabella 1 gave a slight huff. He had a point. "Three questions: one, who's idea was the mission? Two, what was the objective and basic battle plan? And three, why did you feel the need to hide it from us?"
"The idea I admit was Adam's. The objective was to capture Katie and get Adams device active, but not activated and the battle plan was simple we stopped time and walked right in and took what we needed. We never told you, because you would have never let the mission happen." Mr. Daniels said.
Isabella 1 turned back to Adam. "Funny how it all comes back to you."
"He called off the mission though." Felicity defended him. "They went behind our backs as much as they did yours."
"It's true, Adam called it off we did not listen."
"And what does this device do?" Isabella 1 questioned Adam from the mission objective.
"Gives me full control of her company and makes it look like I should have had it two years ago." Adam said pulling out the tablet.
Isabella 1 actually looked slightly impressed. "How would it do that?"
"It hacks through and rewrites a series of files in the governments system and makes it so that in all legal ways possible when Heinz died he gave the company to me. That's not all though I get everything the building all the weapons any property they may own in either dimension. All at the push of a button." Adam said pointing to a green button on the side of the tablet.
Isabella 1 one turned to Candace to get her take on the whole situation. She wasn't quite sure whether to be mad or not.
"If you want I could activate it now?" Adam said smirking at their indecisiveness.
"Do you think we should let him do it?" Isabella 1 questioned Candace seeing as she hasn't said anything since they got here.
"Yes, think about it, either it works and we get more resources or it doesn't and we still have Katie to inform us of Vanessa's defenses." Candace said after a pause.
Isabella 1 turned back to Adam, "You heard her. Fire it up."
Adam smiled and flipped the switch.
