A/N: I am officially done with the school year. WHOO! To celebrate this freedom, I give you a new drabble arc! I'm going to try to keep it down to about five drabbles, but it might sneak up to closer to eight. This one'll be a little more disjointed than the Strong arc, I think, too, because I'm still experimenting with different styles.
Thanks to Pink-Libra-Girl, and T.F. Crosby for your kind and consistent reviews that serve as incredible motivation! You guys are literally the reason this chapter appeared so quickly. :)
For anyone who likes Chase whump (and really, who doesn't?) you should really head over and read Pink-Libra-Girl's story called In Your Time of Need. It focuses on Chase and his family, and is beautifully written and fairly heart-rending. Definitely go check it out, and give Pink some love! :)
Episode: Spike V. Spikette
Rating (This arc): Low T, because Chase will be sad.
Warnings: The same
Inspiration: What if Kate's sonic scream had messed up Chase's hearing in the last scene? After all, Chase doesn't get up from that hit... *here the story is born*
Be the reason someone smiles today! :D
It had been a rough day for Douglas. Between trying to catalog the overwhelming flood of potential powers the students had, and cleaning up after Chase's commando app disaster, he'd never been so stressed.
Therefore, he felt justified in giving Kate a sonic scream. It provided a welcome diversion for him, and gave Kate an alternative to her glitchy commando app. Plus, Douglas needed the laugh. But then Chase didn't get up.
Douglas frowned, leaning over him. "Hey, you alright?"
Chase stared back at him with something like fear in his hazel eyes. "Douglas?" He asked, shakily. "I can't hear."
