Kihonne: Alright guys, I'm back. Sorry about being gone for so long – school's just been busy and things have been crazy. But I'm back now, so let's get onto the chapter, shall we? But before we do that, it's shoutout time!

Candycanelila: I'm glad you like it, and you should hate Graham. He deserves to be hated.

Dirtkid123: Hey, in her own defence, Vivyanna hasn't spoken to Chase in about four years, and Sebastian's been a big part of her life for the last year. To her, it could just sound like a jealous ex (I mean, many of us would speak badly about a former's love current boyfriend/girlfriend if we still has feelings for our old flame, right?) and she has no real proof that Sebastian's done anything wrong. All Chase has is a photograph, which he says was taken at a military base. For all she knows, the picture could be faked. Don't get me wrong, she knows now that Sebastian's hiding something, but she's not quite at the stage where she's ready to believe he's a explosive-stealing criminal.

Sodaluv8: I'm glad you liked the chapter. Enjoy this one.

Labgirl2001: I'm glad you enjoyed them both, but like I said before, Chase wasn't being an idiot, he was reacting like anyone would in that situation. Enjoy!

Cap, Kayla: I wrote it the way I thought it might play out, but you're right, it's been a long time since they last saw each other. I'm glad you liked it though. Anyway, enjoy!

Kihonne: Anyway, let's get this party started. Spin!

Spin: Kihonne doesn't own lab rats. She only owns this story, her OCs, and anything else you don't recognize.

Marcus' POV

MISSION CREEK, CALIFORNIA

"You need to take afternoons off more." I hummed in Bree's ear, my arm wrapped around her waist. She smiled back at me, her head on my shoulder. Since Vivyanna and Sebastian would both be working until seven, and Spin had gone to hang out with some of his friends for the rest of the night, I'd known that we would have the house to ourselves for a few more hours, something that hadn't happened in a very, very long time. And we were using our privacy to our advantage.

"Yes, well, we need to kick the others out more too." She agreed, kissing me. I kissed her back, before moving the gentle touches down her neck.

It was then, just before anything good happened, that Spin decided to return to the house. "Hello? Anyone home? Guys!" We heard him shout as the younger boy burst through the front door.

"Son of a bitch." I cussed, as Bree pushed away from me. I turned to glare at the younger boy. "Spin!"

"Guys! Did you see-" The fifteen year old stopped himself, looking between the two of us and noting how neither of us were wearing shirts. "I'm interrupting something, aren't I?"

"No shit, Sherlock." Bree growled. I glanced at her, almost glad that her shirt was the only article that had been removed so far. If Spin had walked in after her bra had been removed…well, let's just say that might be embarrassing for her. I reached for her shirt and tossed it at her. She pulled it on over her head, glaring at Spin. "Do you mind?"

"Dude, that's our couch." He looked slightly horrified for a moment.

"Yeah, well you weren't supposed to be home yet." I retorted. "And besides, if anything serious was going to happen, we'd take it to the bedroom."

Spin looked like he was going to retort, then shook his head, as if clearing it. "You know what? Not important."

"It's not?" I expected something more of a reaction from the kid.

"Not right now." He replied, looking between the both of us. I narrowed my eyes at him, taking in his rumpled clothing, as if he'd run all the way here, and the way his eyes were too wide. "What's wrong?"

He gulped, looking at us nervously. "I take it you haven't seen the news."

Bree and I exchanged looks. "Why?" My boyfriend questioned. Spin didn't answer, instead picking the TV remote off the ground and turning it on. He quickly changed the channel to the news.

A massive fire burned on the screen, in the middle of the city. It looked as if the building had just decided to spontaneously combust out of nowhere. It took me a moment, but I soon recognized the building.

"Hey, isn't that Vivyanna's favorite restaurant?" I asked, glancing at Bree.

"You mean the one she orders take-out from every time it's her turn to 'cook' dinner? Yeah, I think so. She's going to be disappointed." She frowned at Spin. "Okay, it sucks that the place caught fire, but why does this give you permission to interrupt us?"

"Again, you were on our couch." Spin retorted, still looking upset. "And keep watching; it gets worse."

"Huh?" Wow, he seemed pretty bothered by this fire. I didn't understand why at first, I mean Vivyanna was the only one who ate there regularly. Sebastian too, if you count their date nights. But then Spin turned the volume up loud enough for us to hear the reporter.

"…the explosion that nearly destroyed a local restaurant resulted in the deaths of three people and has landed several others in the hospital." The reporter announced. "While the cause of the explosion is still unknown, Hunters were on the scene today."

Hunters. "Shit." I rubbed his forehead, worried. Hunters, here? This spelled bad news for all of us. And if they thought that the explosion had anything to do with Specials, then we'd have to leave before they found us.

"It couldn't have been a Special." Bree murmured. "I mean, we're the only ones here."

"Where's Vivy and Sebastian?" I questioned quickly, looking at Spin. He shook his head.

"I don't know. I've been trying to call them, but neither of them are answering their phones." The boy replied, looking worried. "Do you think they're okay?"

I didn't answer, instead pulling out my phone and using the speed-dial. The phone on the other line rang a few times before going to voicemail. "Hey, you've reached Vivyanna. I either can't get to my phone right now, or I'm ignoring you. If so, please don't leave a message."

At any other time, her voicemail would have amused me, but right now, I was starting to panic. "Vivy, I think we've been made. Spin's with Bree and I, but I need to know if you and Seb are okay. Call me back ASAP, even if it's just to tell me not to use your nickname."

I hung up, about to dial Sebastian's number when the front door opened. He walked in, a horrified look on his face. "You see the news?" Bree questioned.

"Didn't have too – I was across the street." He replied, sounding distracted.

"You see Vivyanna? We can't reach her." I told him. He looked at me, then at Spin, and then Bree.

"Hunters…they, um…they took her away in a car. Handcuffed with those anti-power cuffs and everything." He shook his head. "There was nothing I could do."

"Vivyanna's been captured?" I stared at him, shocked. "By Hunters?"

"Yeah. I saw the tall one lead her to the car any everything. She was pissed." Sebastian nodded.

"Was she hurt?" Bree questioned. He thought about it.

"Aside from a little smoke inhalation, I don't think so." He replied.

"This is bad. This is really bad." Spin worried aloud. "What do you think they're going to do to her?"

"I don't know." Bree hummed. "I mean, it's not like she's just a random Special. Chase might go easy on her, because of their past."

"Or he might be worse, because of their past." I argued. Bree looked at me. "You think Graham's going to let him go easy on her? If he doesn't do things properly, he'll put someone else in charge. Perry, perhaps."

"Well, we have to do something!" Spin exclaimed. Sebastian looked at him.

"Like what? Break in and take her back? We'll never get out of there alive." He retorted, furious. I looked at him, surprised. I expected Sebastian to suggest a full-frontal assault on the place, even if it meant our lives.

"Well, what do you suggest then?" I asked, almost accusingly. "We're not about to leave her in there to rot. She's our friend."

"Those Hunters have to be stopped. Once and for all." Sebastian looked at us. "How many of us Specials have they taken? How many have disappeared, presumably killed, by them and their boss? It has to stop!"

"You've got a plan?" Spin asked, curious.

"I've got friends…well, other friends…Specials who are as committed to this as I am. We attack their base in New York and take them all out. The psychic, the genius, that Leo kid, their super-speeder, the ice-girl and that Agent Graham of theirs. We take them all out and win freedom for all the Specials."

"You're talking about murder." I stared at him, eyes wide.

"I'm talking about a revolution." Sebastian corrected, eyes flashing. "We could put an end to the war between Specials and Hunters once and for all."

"By eliminating the other side." Bree reminded him. "Sebastian, what you're talking about…it's horrible."

"It's our only chance to ever have any kind of life." Sebastian argued. "Now, are you with me or not?"

"No." I shook my head.

"You're insane." Bree retorted.

"I'm in." Bree and I turned to look at Spin, hoping that we'd heard him wrong. But he had a confident look on his face, holding his head high.

"Spin, don't." I told him. "You're just a kid. You have no idea what-"

"I'm not a kid!" Spin snapped, glaring at me. "And I do know what I'm doing. Bob was my best friend and those Hunters killed him. Vivyanna's the closest thing I have to family, and they took her away from me too. I want a life, Marcus. And this is the only way I'm going to get one."

"We can't let you do this, Sebastian." Bree warned, stepping forward, ready to speed at him. He raised an eyebrow at that.

"You can't stop me." He replied simply. I didn't even bother to respond verbally, instead just shooting a laser beam at him. He reacted instinctively, surrounding himself in a force field. Then, the moment the beam bounce off, he drop the force field and raised his hand. Bree and I were thrown across the room by an invisible force.

"Ah!" I groaned, hitting the ground hard. I hadn't even known that Sebastian had molecular kinesis.

I rolled over onto my knees to face him, but he and Spin were both gone, having disappeared into thin air. "He can geo-leap too?" Bree complained from her spot on the floor. I glanced at her, looking her over for injuries. Once I was sure that she was okay, I sighed.

Oh God, things escalated quickly. Vivyanna captured, and who-knows if she was alright. Sebastian starting a Special rebellion, Spin joining him. "What are we going to do?" Bree asked the obvious question.

"No idea." I breathed, shaking my head.

Kihonne: Alright, tell me what you guys think. Good, bad? I know it's probably not what you expected, but I needed to put Marcus and Bree's reactions in there before I move forward with what's happening with Vivyanna, Graham, and the Hunters. Anyway, I promise the next chapter will be up on Friday (Sunday at the latest). I'll see you all then.
