A/N: Hey, guys! I suppose it's pretty clear this isn't the last drabble of the arc, so my estimation of 10 is a bit off. 12 or 15 is probably closer. I refuse to apologize for the cliffhanger. I'm entitled to one or two every now and then. :P
I have a question for everyone. If you're not sick of this arc, I have Chase's side of the story written. So, please review one way or the other, and let me know if you want to see that, or want me to move on. Thanks! :)
Special thanks to Pink-Libra-Girl, daphrose, Emc Superbionics, and Asori for reviewing! You guys are amazing, and I love you all.
Pink: I can't thank you enough for you regular and encouraging messages. But I'll try: Thank you! :)
Emc: I was delighted and surprised by your speculations. Having a clear idea in my head of what had happened, I'd never considered anything else. It was cool shifting the story in my head to fit your theories. Thanks!
daph: As usual, your phenomenal review was detailed, asked questions, made predictions, and was generally awesome. Thank you so much!
Asori: No worries, Asori. Most people don't even review once, so you've already increased my happiness. :D Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

Warnings: Angst
Inspiration: Adam and Chase interactions across the show.
"Chase!" I tried to stand, to get to my younger brother, but Don held my arm.
"Adam," he said, quietly, "I need you to stay here."
"No, he needs me!"
"Adam, Jon will help him. We need to figure out what's wrong. Then, I swear, you can go to him. But right now, he needs you over here, calm."
I didn't respond, completely focused on Chase, bleeding.
"Adam?"
I took a deep breath and nodded in agreement. It was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Don squeezed my shoulder comfortingly.
"Hang on," he said quietly. "Hang on.
A/N: Thanks for reading, everyone, and 22 reviews? I'm blown away by the response to this series, and I just wanted to say thank you. :D
Be the reason someone smiles today! :)
