A/N: Hi! I'm not dead! I've actually found the motivation to be working on this, which is nice. We finally get a bit of action in this one, too, so even better. :)

Thanks so much to all my reviewers! You make me to happy. It's nice to know this story still has a following even after OVER A YEAR. That blows my mind. ^^ Review responses at the bottom.

Chase's bad feeling had been building. Everything felt off, from breakfast, to seeing Leo up late doing school. Therefore, it barely surprised him when it finally happened.
"Chase..." The silky voice peeped from the shadows, and Chase whirled, eyes roving around the lab. He knew that voice.
"Crane," Chase growled. He tensed, preparing his bionics for battle.
Crane laughed as he moved out into the light. "I admit, I thought you would notice me earlier. Your siblings didn't, but then, you've always been superior."
"What about my siblings?" Chase spat. He spun towards the capsules and froze.
They were empty.


T.F. Crosby: Welcome back! That's actually a crazy cool coincidence. :) I just might have to go over and read some of those Douglas stories sometime. I'm intrigued. Thanks for reading!

bradburythequeen: I appreciate the good wishes, Queen. My tests are coming up, so after a frantic couple weeks, my workload should go down. The end is in sight! Your speculations are always so fun to read. Thanks for being such a thoughtful reviewer. 3

altoclefislife: Hey! Thanks for reviewing. That sounds super stressful. Good luck with all your things! Thankfully, our school is just dealing with its usual insanity, and my tests are coming up, so I should be done with the AP stuff soon. :) I love Chase stories too, which is probably fairly obvious from how many of them I write. I'm super happy you're enjoying this one, and I would be happy for other Chase story recommendations, if you have any. Enjoy the chapter!
