Kihonne: Alright folks, time for Jordan's chapter! But first, it's shoutout time!

humanusscriptor: For some reason, I always thought AJ and Spin would make a cute couple. Maybe it had something to do with AJ's logical approach to things and Spin's more emotional one? I don't know, but I thought they'd be cute. And I didn't give him geoleaping as much as I gave him one of Calla's geoleap watches. That was my bad for confusing you – just because I make the leap in my head, doesn't mean it's at all clear to my readers. I edited the scene slightly to make that more obvious though.

LabGirl2001: I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! I'm glad you loved both the couples like that! I hope you enjoy this chapter too!

Algernon23: I'm glad you enjoyed all the chapters, especially the growth in Tasha's chapter. I'm sorta trying to do mini-themes with a lot of the characters (like the family focus with Tasha and how Skylar grew out of her insecurities in her chapter), so that was really what I was going for. Bob and Zoe are cute together, aren't they? I've thought so since that first episode they were in. I'm glad you like Spin and AJ together – I always thought their personalities complimented each other really well. Honestly, I hadn't noticed that I had been solely focusing on the Lab Rats characters (and Jazz, who is more of an Elite Force one) until I went to write Jordan's first scene. It does feel like they've always been together, doesn't it? I have so many more minor lab rats OCs though (there were just more opportunities to bring them in, with the Academy and stuff), so it'll probably be more Lab Rats at the beginning. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Mayleaf2001: I know, right? As much as I tried to make Bob's the best chapter possible, I knew most of the focus would be on Spin and AJ. They just have such a cute relationship, don't they? As for not seeing them much…well, the only thing I promise for sure is a one cameo, but with AJ being a Davenport Industries character, I can say that they're more likely to make appearances than some of the other minor characters. And my, hasn't little Spin grown up? I think you're going to like what I've got for Jordan, so please enjoy the chapter!

SzymonS: I mean, it's up to you whether you review or not, but I don't find the chapters to be short for what I've intended them to be. Keep in mind that this isn't a novel, like the Power of Seven was supposed to be like, but rather a series of one-shot scenes. They're not meant to be very long. And yes, this will take a while, but I'm sure people appreciate that each character is focused on. Besides, it's better than me putting the entire series on HIATUS while I prepare Legacies. This way you guys get something to read while you wait. Thank you for the comment about keeping the timeline together – it's harder than it sounds. I had to create a timeline for myself before working on this, and I'm constantly referring back to it so I don't make any mistakes. Continuity errors are one of my pet peeves, so I'm being extra careful not to screw it up with this series. Of course I have Perry, don't worry – I actually did like her at times. She wasn't my favorite character, I admit, but far from being my least favorite either. Her chapter is currently set between Miles DeCook's and Donald Davenport's, so you can expect it sometime in late November. I'm glad you like the story so far, especially the Spin and AJ relationship! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter too!

Spin: Kihonne doesn't own Mighty Med, Lab Rats, or the Elite Force. She just owns this series, any OCs in the chapter, and anything else you don't recognize.

2008

I bounced on my heels nervously, staring at the chaotic classroom in front of me. First days of school were always bad, but it was even worse when you were coming into the school in the middle of the year because your dad moved you to another state.

All of these kids had been going to school together since Kindergarten. It wasn't that I was particularly interested in making friends, but it would be really lonely if I had to go without one person to talk to until we switched to the middle school down the road.

"Ah, Jordan!" The teacher, an overly peppy, middle-aged woman, ushered me into the classroom. "Class! Can I have your attention please?"

The class quieted down at her voice, all the students turning to face the front. "Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to our new student, Jordan Zuehlsdorff. Jordan, do you want to tell everyone about yourself?"

"Uh..." I trailed off, not really knowing what to say. "Not really?"

That earned a few laughs from the other kids, but the teacher didn't seem to like it. "Why don't you go take a seat, Jordan?" She suggested. "There's a spot between Oliver and Danica."

"It's Dani!" A black-haired boy called as I went to take my seat, though the teacher ignored him. The brown-haired boy in front of me sent me a smile as I sat down. I quickly dropped my backpack next to my seat and pulled out a pencil and my superhero-themed notebook, though I had no intention of actually taking notes.

The teacher began her lesson plan almost right away. I sat there, dozing off as she went over basic grammar, only to be jolted awake by a crumpled piece of paper hitting me from behind. I turned to give the blonde-haired girl a look, but she just gestured at the paper.

Rolling my eyes, I turned around and started to uncrumple the paper. I expected it to be some weird question about the new girl, or some vague comment about how my clothes weren't girly enough - I'd gotten both of those before - but to my surprise, it was something completely different.

'I love your notebook! Tecton is my FAVORITE superhero! Wanna have lunch with us?' it read in messily scrawled handwriting. I smiled to myself, then ripped a page out of my notebook.

'OK' I wrote back, trying to keep my handwriting neat. Dad had said that only doctors were allowed to have bad handwriting. 'Wanna be friends too?'

I waited until the teacher was turned before tossing it over my back. I glanced over my shoulder to see the girl, Dani, showing my note to the black-haired boy from before. These considered it for a moment before they both beamed and gave me the thumbs up.

Huh, I guess making friends wouldn't be so bad at this school.

2015

I stared at the screen in concentration, trying to focus solely on my goal. I could see the beautiful unicorn just behind a tree, it's rainbow tail and mane standing out in the forest background even more so than its white coat.

"Hey Jordan." Dani greeted, walking over to me.

"Shh." I shushed her quickly, not wanting to get distracted. "I'm trailing this majestic unicorn. It's the last one in the entire land."

"Sounds lame." Dani commented just as I got within range. I had my character pull out Bertha, her trusty axe, and took a moment to appreciate the hard work that had led me to this moment before having her bring the axe down on the unicorn's neck.

"Boom!" I shouted gleefully. "Cut off its head!"

"Okay, now I'm interested." Dani had been about to walk away, but instead came even closer when she realized what I'd been trying to do all along. "Aw, look! Its blood is made of rainbows!"

"Look, Jordan, we have to talk to you about our robot project for science day tomorrow."

"Yeah, the four of us are working on it, right?" I checked, wanting to make sure that Oliver hadn't been recruited last minute by another group. Dani, Kaz, and I were okay with just getting average grades, but Oliver was a stickler for getting those As, so it always genuinely surprised me when he agreed to do projects with us. Not that I complained - I always tended to do slightly better with him in our group. And this was one of the few times that I really needed to do well.

"Yep, it will be just the four of us." Oliver agreed, much to my relief. "You, me, Kaz, and Dani...and Gus."

"What?" I turned on them faster than I'd removed that unicorn's head, staring at them with wide eyes. Gus Isaacs? "Gus? No, no, no! Absolutely not!"

"We're sorry, but he is our friend." Oliver reasoned. I shook my head, still hating this. Just because that weirdo was their friend didn't mean he was mine.

"Besides, we kinda felt bad for him because no one else wanted him in their group." Dani added, shoving her hands in her pockets.

"Yeah, for the same reason no one wants a dead fish in their bed. They both smell like dead fish!" I reminded them.

"We'll make him wear an air freshener?" Dani offered. I rolled my eyes.

"Look, if I don't get an A on this project, my parents won't let me play video games for a year." I mean, I seriously doubted that they'd go through with that threat for more than a month, but that wasn't the point. "And if I can't chop of unicorn heads then…who am I?"

"We promise you, we'll keep Gus under control. He won't say a word." Oliver promised me. I sighed, hating the idea a little less, but still not totally okay with it. Dani and Kaz, though, seemed to find an issue with the idea.

"Really, where are we going to get a muzzle?" Kaz questioned as he and Dani stared at Oliver.

"Fine." I agreed reluctantly. "Just keep him away from me."

"Now we have to get a leash?" Dani demanded.

"This is becoming a nightmare!" Kaz complained. Oliver gave them both a look, telling them to stop before turning back to me.

"We'll take care of it." He assured me. I nodded and turned back to my video game, now three times as stressed as I had been before talking to them. They'd better come through for me, I thought to myself, or it wouldn't be unicorns I was decapitating.

2017

"Are you kidding me? Nine bucks?" I demanded, staring at the price tag that had been hurriedly added to the front of the comic book. I looked over at Gary, one of the idiots that Gus had hired to run the store when he was too busy. "This is a joke, right?"

"I'm not in charge of price changes. Talk to Gus." He replied, turning the page of the comic he was currently reading.

"I would if he weren't in Tahiti on vacation." I grumbled, putting the comic book back. I stared at the selection, wondering if any of these were actually priced at a normal price or if I should just wait until Gus got back from vacation so I could yell at him.

"I wouldn't bother." I called over my shoulder when I heard the door chime announce that another customer had walked in. "Everything here is a rip off."

"I guess it's a good thing I own the place, then." I spun around to see Barry Clarke standing in the doorway, a duffle bag tossed over his shoulder.

"Oh my God." I laughed in surprise. It had been nearly a year since I'd last seen him in person - texting and emails just weren't the same - and God, did he look good. Well, no, he didn't - actually, if that almost faded black eye was anything to go by, he'd been in some sort of fight - but I still felt my heart do a double-take when I saw him.

There had been something going on between us when he left. I wasn't sure what it was, and we'd never actually done anything about it, but I was sure that I hadn't been imagining that chemistry.

"Is Gus ramping up the prices for fun again?" Barry questioned, dropping his bag by the door and walking past me to take a look at the prices.

"I thought you were in Chicago, working with an old friend of yours." He'd been rather vague about the new job opportunity when he left.

"New York, now, actually, and yeah, I was." He turned to me, a smile on his face. "I had some time off, and thought I'd come home."

"Did your time off have anything to do with this?" I questioned, poking his cheek just under the black eye. He winced, pulling away. "What kind of job do you have?"

"Oh, I'm secretly a superhero and I got this fighting crime." He told me. I nodded, amused at his story.

"Fine. Don't tell me." I rolled my eyes. He laughed at that, a genuine happy sound. "I just hope the other guy looks worse."

"Absolutely." He assured me. I laughed a little at how earnest he looked right now.

"So, how long are you in town for?" I inquired, curious. I thought, maybe, we could go do something together if he was in town for a while.

"Well, it depends." He shrugged.

"On what?" I frowned, and he looked at me imploringly.

"On how long you want me to." He told me. I opened my mouth to respond, but nothing would come out. "C'mon, Jordan. You like me, I like you. Let's stop dancing around this thing and make it official."

Finally, I find my voice. "What are you proposing?" I asked softly, wanting to make sure I wasn't mistaking his words.

"Dinner. And then...we'll see." He offered, watching me carefully for my response. A slow smile came to my face as I thought about it.

"I guess we will." I agreed.

2021

"This is awesome." I grinned, dropping a box full of comic books onto my new desk. When Alivia had asked me to join the team as a comic book consultant, I'd figured I was lucky to get my own room. I certainly hadn't expected her to give me my own office.

"Yeah it is." Barry agreed, placing down one of my boxes by the door. "You know Oliver, Kaz, and Dani didn't get their own offices until Mighty Med 2.0., and even now, Kaz and Dani share?" He mentioned. He paused. "Though, they probably don't mind."

"Glad to see I'm moving up the ranks faster than they are." I grinned, moving a couple of the boxes that Barry and my new teammates, Liam and Ricky, had brought in so that they were up against the bookshelf. I would put those away later, when I had some actual time to organize them in whatever way I wanted. "I still can't believe Geminus invited me to be on the team. This is going to be fun."

"You know...it's not always fun. It can be dangerous." Ah, here it was. I'd been expecting Barry to try and warn me about this for some time now. "Kaz and the twins all ended up being patients more than once before getting their powers. I don't want you thinking that this will be all fun and games."

"I know, okay?" I turned to him. "Alivia already went through all of this with me, and she got Crossbow to agree to train me in self-defense. It's going to be crazy and dangerous sometimes, but it's so going to be worth it."

"Yeah, I didn't think I'd have a chance in hell of changing your mind." Barry admitted. I laughed.

"You're right, you didn't." I agreed. "But it's cute that you tried."

He chuckled, then bent down to start unpacking the boxes. I followed suit, opening the box nearest to me. I smiled when I saw what I'd put on top: a picture of my middle school graduation. There'd been photos of my graduation from high school, but I loved this one more. Kaz, Dani, and Oliver had all dropped out of high school the year before graduation, and so it was the last important photo of all of us together.

I set it on the desk, right next to my favorite picture of me and Liam, smiling because I knew that there'd be more pictures to come in the future.
