Hey guys! Me again! I may be two days late for 9/11, but I still want to dedicate this chapter to every hero and victim of this unfortunate day. I've heard the stories, and my parents and grand-parents still remember where they were when they heard the news. I find that to be very impressive. We should never forget what happened, and I don't think we ever will. Within a hundred years, they still will be talking about 9/11. Also, the bionics from last chapter are viewed by Normos as "terrorists", which is why I'm dedicating this chapter to the heroes and victims of this unfortunate day. And since there's nothing more I can say (except: man, I loved the Mighty Med series finale!) let's go to the reviews:

BeautifulSupernova: Thanks for reviewing! I know who you're talking about, and the name of the hero is "Mr. Quick". S-4 just made something up, and it coincidentally is his superhero name.

PurpleNicole531: The lab rats are going to show up this chapter again, and you'll see them in action soon. Thanks for reviewing!

TKDP: Thanks for reviewing! Well, you'll see later what they're gonna do, in another chapter. Yes, he truly is evil, like his name suggests. She'll probably feel the same way as when Tecton got injured.

River: Yes, he does. I like to think he's a strategist who always is one or two steps ahead. Thanks for reviewing!

LabRatsWhore: Thanks for reviewing! Yeah, I know, they're doing bad things because they're controlled. You know, I've been wondering the same. Maybe Krane didn't think he was good enough. Or he/she has always ben among the students, but only in the background. Who knows?

Enjoy!

A few hours later, the Davenports waited in their houses for someone to pick them up . Adam, Bree, Chase, Leo and Douglas would return to Philadelphia to discuss the attacks. Donald couldn't come with them, for he still had a company to run. And he wanted to stay with Tasha so she wouldn't have to be home alone anymore. He also stayed just in case another villain decided she would be a hostage. Douglas would take his place, because he also thought an adult should supervise them.

The attack wasn't only an item on the superhero network. Every country in the world was talking about those "terrorist attacks". It was the absolute headliner all over the world. Everyone wondered how they could have coordinated such an attack. It was already a miracle nobody found out about their plans before the attacks happened. They were there and in a flash, they were gone. Witnesses would tell the interviewers and police about teenagers who weren't wearing masks, and how those teenagers were terrorizing the people with their weird powers. Lightning struck at city hall a couple of times, even if that day was a beautiful day. The police also announced they started working together with the special forces. Together, they would try to identify the attackers and lock them up forever.

Tasha and Donald already left to go to work, so right now the kids were alone with Douglas. They couldn't wait to go back to the superhero hospital. Adam would really like to see Skylar again and Bree hoped to finally see Spotlight. Chase wanted to learn a lot more about this crazy world and Leo just would be glad he was among superheroes. Douglas was just sitting on the couch, looking upset. None of the kids knew what was wrong with him and they decided to just leave him alone. He might need the time.

"When will they come?" Adam said. He sounded impatient and looked at the clock every now and then. "We've been waiting, like, five minutes!" Before they started waiting, Horace asked them to come over. He is the chief of staff and thus he has a connection with Dr. Bridges. That woman has connections with a council who made decisions for the super population. The council decided the bionic people weren't classified as supers, just like the attackers. They could be bionic, and that's why Horace had to talk with them.

"They'll come soon," Chase then said. "It won't take long." As soon as he said these words, a worm hole opened in their living room and al of a sudden Skylar Storm, wearing her costume, stood in their house. Adam turned his head and started to smile.

"Skylar!" he shouted and walked towards her. The others greeted her, too. Well, Douglas didn't, but he didn't really do anything right now. Off course this didn't go unnoticed. Skylar may not know Douglas very well, but this wasn't the man she met eight days ago.

"Is he okay?" she asked. Leo took a glance and then looked back at Skylar.

"He isn't okay." Leo said, "And we have no idea why he's so sad. He won't tell us." Skylar took a glance at Douglas and then focused back on her new friends.

"I already want to thank you for coming back to Philadelphia to help us." Skylar said, looking at them. Horace told her everything she needed to know before she used the worm hole transporter to go to the Davenport house. And to be honest, it was hard not to go looking around the house. This was, by far, the most impressive and technological Normo house she has ever visited.

"What is the exact situation?" Chase asked, "We only know we have to help you with the terrorists of yesterday." Skylar nodded. Before she would bring them all to the hospital, she could at least explain to them what Horace expected them to do.

"The terrorists of yesterday had abilities and we want to know if they're bionic or not. And since you're the experts, you were invited to look at the footage." Chase nodded. That made sense. They would know if someone was bionic. Sometimes, the little details mattered. And that's why Douglas was supposed to come with them, too.

Soon, they were all ready to go to the superhero hospital. they nearly had to pull Douglas out of the couch, and now Adam was holding on to him. he was standing at Skylar's right. Bree, Chase and Leo were holding each other on Skylar's left side. When she was sure they were all close enough, she pushed a button and they appeared in the hospital.

Kaz and Oliver were near them, watching the TV hanging on the wall. The Superhero Network has been giving the latest updates about the so-called terrorist attacks. They were closer to the truth than the Normo networks: at least they knew no terrorists were involved in the fights. Slowly, steadily, they learned which heroes fought the villains and who could still say something about the attackers. The number of attackers was given (at least 90 teenagers) and the number of the civilians hurt in the process.

They turned around when they noticed Skylar returned with their Mission Creek friends. Oliver forced himself not to think of the fact that Skylar was standing next to Adam and instead immediately greeted the five Davenports (he counted Leo as an honorary Davenport). He also immediately noticed the oldest Davenport was sad.

"What's wrong with him?" Oliver asked. Leo looked behind him and saw Douglas was staring at the floor. He still had no idea why he was feeling so down. Maybe he'd tell Oliver and Kaz. Or maybe he wouldn't. It all depended on Douglas himself.

"We don't know," Leo said, turning back to Oliver, "he doesn't want to tell us."

"Maybe I can figure out why he's sad." Kaz then said, and all turned their heads to him. "What? I can at least try and figure out what makes him upset. He's the one who knows a bit about comic books, isn't he?"

The team nodded. That was enough confirmation for Kaz to continue. "Only two days ago, the new League of Heroes miniseries was launched. That miniseries involves everything that is happening right now. Wi-Fi kidnapping Tasha, fighting Megahertz and everything that follows. One of the most discussed topics only is the death of the villain Wi-Fi, killed by Commodore Chaos." Kaz had been looking at Douglas while he was talking and he turned his head to Kaz when the boy mentioned Wi-Fi's death. "You knew him, didn't you? Andreas Nolan, the cybervillain? I'm so sorry for your loss."

"How do you know that?" Douglas suddenly asked. He didn't really sound angry – he just was quite surprised. He never told anyone he knew the villain. The only one who knows was Donald, and he assured him nobody else would know. Kaz shrugged.

"I know a lot about this stuff," Kaz said, "and I might have been eavesdropping when Mr. Davenport called you." he admitted. Oliver rolled his eyes. Typical. Just something for Kaz to do: eavesdrop on a billionaire talking to his brother. Douglas nodded and sighed. You just can't expect a phone call to be private when you're calling from a hallway in a secret public hospital.

At that moment, Horace Diaz walked into the lobby. He was holding a clipboard – given to him by Dr. Bridges – and looked up from the files when he was standing close to the TV screen as well. Only then he noticed the Davenports were present.

"Oh, you're here. Splendid! Now, I assume you've heard about the attacks in Philadelphia. Let's take a look at the footage of the attackers." Horace programmed the screen to show them slowed down images of the "terrorists" attacking civilians near city hall. Lightning was shot in the air, blast waves sent out from several places. One of them turned his head and the camera could register the face. Then, it switched to five teenagers attacking students at the University of Pennsylvania. Five others were disrupting the traffic on the Ben Franklin bridge. Those and at least eight other groups of five teenagers were spreading chaos throughout the city. One remote group set fire to part of the city. The Superhero Network filmed it from a helicopter and a flying reporter. The flames spelled the word "CHAOS". There was no sign of the five teens who caused this, but the Normo firefighters were doing their best to control the flames.

Horace paused the video when the images of the city hall reappeared and looked at the Davenports. He noticed the teenagers were mostly shocked. After all, these "terrorists", bionic or not, were still teenagers who were causing chaos. Everywhere at once, nowhere to be seen in the aftermath, never seeing the same face twice, all having these abilities. Douglas, on the other hand, just looked at the screen with great interest and slight confusion. He'd probably explain later, or he wouldn't.

"Well…" Douglas eventually said, "they're definitely bionic. And no, I didn't give them their abilities." He looked at his family while he said that last sentence. They had to believe he wasn't the one who gave them bionics. He eventually came to the conclusion his old partner, Krane, must've given bionics to more teenagers, other than S-1. There was no other possible explanation. Plus, it would also explain the numerous baby pictures he saw when he was still living together with Krane.

"Krane," Chase said, knowing only Krane could've done it. He trusted Douglas enough to know he only gave the three siblings their bionic abilities.

"Where are they hiding?" Bree eventually asked, looking at the boy on the TV screen, "They can't just have disappeared, unless all of them have super-speed."

"They're not hiding," Horace said, "Let me show you the security footage of a street in West Philadelphia." He pressed some buttons and they could witness how these bionic teenagers appeared in an alley and one by one went into a building. They were there, out in the open, without being questioned by anyone. And that last soldier waited until everyone was inside before looking at the camera and entering the building themselves. Horace talked as these images played.

"We know they are being controlled by a villain who goes by the name 'Commodore Chaos'. Now, I believe you fought against bionics before. What approach would be better to fight them?"

"I don't know," Douglas admitted. "We should take them by surprise. That way, they don't have the advantage."

"Okay." Horace said as he pressed a button to shut down the TV, "Let's go. I'll contact Dr. Bridges to tell her what to do. Your help will be appreciated. If you wish to help us take down these soldiers, go to this address. Mr. Tidwell will be waiting for you." Horace handed Bree a piece of paper and then left the lobby.

"What are we waiting for?" Adam said, "Let's go!" He encouraged his family to go to the address on the paper and soon they were walking towards the exit.

"No! wait!" Oliver yelled. Leo was the first to stop and no second later, his family did the same. They wondered why Oliver didn't want them to go.

"Go get Horace, and Skylar too," he asked Kaz and turned back to the Davenports when Kaz left to find Skylar, "Don't go to that apartment building yet. Kaz and I, we think it's a trap."
