~I do not own Lab Rats~
Mr. Davenport's POV:
Finally, Chase can be cured! I'm almost jumping for joy, but I hold it back.
The four of us enter the room with a new hope, and head directly to Chase's bedside.
"What's going on?" A tired voice asks from behind me, and I turn around to face the sleeping face of Bree.
"We're just curing your brother is all." I answer, acting like it's nothing.
"Are you serious?!" Bree asks getting excited.
"Yep!" Leo says happily.
"Alright, Donald, would you do the honors?" Douglas asks me, handing over the antidote.
"I would be honored." I pull out the cork, and set it in my pocket. I take the vial and out it up to Chase's pale, chapped lips.
I tip the vial over so it goes into Chase's mouth, but stop when there is still a little left. You know, just in case. I watch as he swallows unconsciously like it's nothing, and we wait.
Five minutes later, nothing happens.
Ten minutes, nada.
Fifteen, nope.
"How long is it supposed to take to work?" Adam asks.
"Um, I'm not sure." Douglas admits, and gives me a pleading look.
"I don't know either," I say.
"Then how long are we going to stay here?" Leo asks.
"I don't know, but it's getting late." I say as Adam gives a small yawn. "We should all get some rest and check on him in the morning, hopefully something will have changed by then." Adam and Leo both give in, but Douglas stays silent.
"Douglas, are you coming?" I ask.
"I'd actually rather stay here," he admits, while taking a seat next to Chase.
"Are you sure?" I ask uncertainly.
"Yes, I am." Douglas snaps.
"Okay," I put my hands up in surrender. "Can you at least show us a spot where we can sleep?"
"Oh, sure," Douglas stands up, and leads us out of the room.
After multiple twists and turns, Douglas finally stops us in a hallway with two doors on each side.
"Behind each of these doors is a room that you can stay in. You can even have your own room, so take your pick." Douglas explains, and Adam and Leo immediately take their pick.
"Well, go on, take your pick." Douglas instructs me, while pushing me in the direction of one of the rooms.
"Oh right, yeah," I stutter. I walk to one of the doors that Adam and Leo did not choose, but stop myself from opening the door. "Um, Douglas."
"What?" He asks getting impatient.
"I want to thank you for helping, aside from the fact that you caused it in the first place."
"Um, no problem, is that all you wanted?"
"Yeah, except," I sigh, "I forgive you."
"What?" He asks completely caught off guard.
"I said I forgive you. You created a problem, but you fixed it. So, I guess I forgive you."
"Thanks," Douglas says, and decides to leave without another word.
I exhale the breath that I didn't know I was holding, and head into the room.
Leo's POV:
I am woken up by excessive shaking, and my eyes crack open to reveal Douglas. His face is strikes with worry, but I'm so tired that I don't think much about it.
"What do you want?" I groan.
"Something's wrong," he says urgently.
"What do you mean?" Douglas has my full attention now.
"Just come on," he urges me. I rip off my covers and quickly follow him.
"You get Adam, while I get Donald," I nod in agreement.
I jerk open Adam's door with a purpose and rush over to his bedside. I shake him hard back and forth, but he doesn't wake up.
"Adam, wake up," I urge him. He still doesn't stir, and I think for a second on what to do.
"WAKE UP!" I yell as loud as I can directly into his ear, and he jolts awake. I scared him a but too much, and I get a punch to the gut. I instantly double over at the sudden pain in my stomach. I groan in pain, and Adam finally comes to his senses.
"Sorry Leo, but you should know not to scare a bionic."
"It's," deep breath, "fine."
"So, what did you need?" I finally remember my purpose of coming here.
"Douglas woke me up, and told me that something's wrong."
"What is?"
"That's the thing. I don't know, but it sounds urgent. Come on."
"Alright," Adam sighs and hoists himself out of the bed. It's weird for me to see Adam in a bed, rather than in his capsule. Douglas had assured him that the room is set up to act like a capsule, so no glitches. The same goes for the whole building, so there are no worried there.
We both leave the room, and bump directly into Douglas. The three of us all stagger back, but don't fall. I hear a chuckling, and see Big D trying to cover his laughing.
"Come on," Douglas sighs trying to ignore what just happened. The four of us enter the elevator in silence, but when we get on I immediately ask the burning question that has been on my mind.
"What's the big emergency?" I ask.
"Chase's condition has suddenly subsided," Douglas answers and we all gasp.
"What do you mean?" Big D asks nervously, and the elevator suddenly dings open.
"Just let me show you."
We all follow Douglas down the hall and to the hospital room. The sight before us all is shocking. Bree is sleep soundly, but Chase...
Chase is as stiff as a board, and doesn't look to be moving anytime soon. That's not the worst. The worst part is the sound emitting from Chase's mouth. It almost sounds like he's choking, and is a gurgling, sickly sound.
"What's happening?" Adam asks, but before anyone can answer, something worse happens. The sticky, crimson, and thick liquid of blood starts to gurgle inside Chase's mouth and onto the bed.
"What's going on?! Someone do something!" I yell at Douglas and Big D, and they take no time in reacting. They both rush to Chase's side and try to open up a passageway for him to breathe. Adam and I both look away, because it is just too gross to look at.
"Why didn't the antidote work?" Douglas mutters to himself.
"I don't know," Big D says. "I fear that if we don't find out soon, Chase's life may come to an unexpected end."
A/N: Cue dramatic music! So, I bet you just loved that cliffhanger. Why didn't the cure work? Is Chase going to be okay? Well, you'll just have to wait and see. Another short chapter, and I apologize for that, but it was still a good chapter so...
I have a new idea for the story, and it will be something that will make you happy. I will make sort of a sequel, but it can also be called part 2. This will be part 1: Pain, and the next will be Part 2: Glitches, because I haven't really incorporated the glitches part into the story. Tell me what you think in the reviews!
Updates will slow down for a little bit, due to me having to start my summer school government class. Sorry!

beverlie4055: I'm glad you love it!
daphrose: Well, it didn't work, but don't worry! You will know more in the next chapter. Your random thoughts interest me, and help me think of new things to add in my chapters, but the part with the cure not working was already an idea I had so don't blame yourself for that. I am just so happy that you love my story so much, and I love yours so much too! :D
DianaP (Guest): Your English is perfectly fine, so don't worry. I agree with you in adding Adam more, but I just can't think of anything at the moment, sorry...
Avengers13: *ducks from rotten tomatoes* You win, you got your wish, more Chase!
AllAmericanSlurp: Thanks, I am getting worried that these short chapters aren't that good. Should I change this story type to drama/ hurt/ comfort or leave it as is? Just wondering. :)
Thanks for reading! :P
