"So based on a conversation I interrupted between you and Heather I take it you used to be a thing?" Chloe questioned Cam while the two of them were studying at the library after school.

"Yeah" Cam chuckled in memory "broke up about eight months ago" he assured her but still she persisted.

"Want to tell me why?" She asked curiously

"To be honest, I don't really know. At first I broke up with her, you see every time we were on a mission I'd get super worried about her, even though I know she can take care of herself. She always got annoyed when I was too concerned, and I couldn't help it. But after awhile I realized that the only reason we got together in the first place was because I tried to help her when not even her mother would, I figured she was only with me cause she felt like she owed me" he explained, trying not to think back on what he soon realized was a huge mistake. "Two days after we broke up she went on a week long trip with her family, during that week I realized that Heather's not the type of girl to date someone out of obligation, I wanted to try and get back together with her when she came home but when I brought it up she said she agreed with what I said before, that we're much better off as friends." He finished, again wishing he could just forget all of it.

"You still hung up on her?" Chloe finally asked and Cam shrugged in response.

"She's still my best friend but I think that's all we're ever going to be" he told her and just then his phone went off with a mission alert.

"So it's another lab break in?" Zach questioned from the backseat, today was the team's first mission with his mother's old car.

"Yes Zach" Heather replied in frustration, normally she had more patients with her brother but they had literally just gone over this five minutes ago, still her lack of patients worried her, as it rarely came out verbally anymore. Just a slip up, your powers are still in check so calm down, it's nothing she mentally assured herself. "Any luck on that rock Cam?" She asked, turning around in the passenger seat to look at Cam who was sitting behind her.

"What? Oh, yeah it looks like it came from a statue" He answered, after his conversation with Chloe he figured it had come from Monkey Fist's stone prison but he also felt that now wasn't the right time to tell the team, not until Chloe is out of the line of fire.

"Any reports on damaged statues?" Heather questioned but Cam shook his head.

"Haven't found any," he reported, not that he had looked.

Heather frowned but nodded and turned back around, not long after they arrived at their destination.

"Ah thank goodness," a scientist breathed in relief when the teenage heroes he had called came walking into the mostly demolished lab.

"Whoa" Zach exclaimed when he saw the mess, all over the lab test tubes were shattered and spilt, machines were smashed, and broken glass lay everywhere.

"What happened here?" Heather asked the scientist, completely ignoring her brother.

"I don't know, I left the lab for five minutes and came back to this!" He exclaimed in horror. "I began looking anything that may be missing and sure enough our energy capulator was gone!"

"What's an energy capulator?" Mark questioned

"One of our top secret experiments" the scientist answered but that was all that he could say.

They spread out throughout the lab and began looking for some type of clue as to who did this, with the lab in this type of state the thief had to have left something behind.

"So what do you think an energy capulator is?" Heather quietly asked Cam as they combed through the rubble.

Cam chuckled "I could tell you but you probably already have a theory of your own" he pointed out.

Heather smirked, happy to see him joking but not quite ready to decide he was ok. "I do but I wanted to make sure you did. You seemed distracted in the car, everything alright?" She asked, concerned.

"Yeah, yeah, just didn't get a lot of sleep last night" Cam lied but of course Heather rolled her eyes, she saw right through it.

"Well if you decide that you want to talk about it you know where to find me," she said, knowing that whatever his problem was she wasn't going to force it out of him.

"This better be worth it" Lord Superior grumbled from his seat on the visitor's side of the glass.

"What, visiting prison without drawing attention to yourself or having patients for once in your life?" Monkey Fist asked over the phone, which allowed the two to talk.

Superior sneered in annoyance "both" he said bitterly. "I just don't understand why we need any of what we've stolen, after all the agreement was that we use my mind control spell," he continued.

"The agreement also states that those children suffer, their parents may have been the ones who thwarted my plans but they chose to take their parents place, so they get the punishment" Monkey Fist reminded his comrade who wouldn't argue with that, he would never argue with the opportunity to make those kids pay for all the plans they've ruined. "Besides you needn't wait much longer, our tool came by earlier and informed me that we have the information needed to finish the weapon, be expecting Dementor's call" Monkey Fist said, an evil smile playing at his lips.

It was later that evening, with her parents out and Emily over at Chloe's, Heather was babysitting Zach and Lindsey, though Zach insisted that he's too old for a babysitter.

"Well Lindsey isn't so you're stuck with one either way" Heather told him as she began cleaning up from dinner.

"Yes I am! I'm old enough!" Lindsey insisted; Heather only rolled her eyes.

"Then take it up with mom and dad," she said and a minute later there was a knock at the door.

"Zach can you get that?" Heather asked and although Zach groaned in response he did as he was asked.

Lindsey went with him, curious about who was at the door.

"It's for you!" Zach called into the kitchen and when Heather turned around she saw Drakken walking into the room, his daughter's soccer cleats in his hands.

"You left you cleats at the lair," he informed her as she went and took them from him.

"Whoops, knew I forgot something," she said before placing the shoes down on the mat by the kitchen door.

"So, um, how are your friends?" Drakken asked awkwardly. Secretly he had been sort of happy to discover his daughter's soccer cleats shoved halfway under his couch, and he was even happier to know that she would most likely need them before her next visit to the lair, it gave him an excuse to go see her.

Heather huffed in frustration at the question, that was probably the worst question to ask right now.

"To be honest, I don't know." She confessed "Cam blew us off earlier to hang out with his friend Chloe, which I'm fine with, but when he showed up to the mission it was like his mind wasn't even there" she admitted before checking her phone "and it's been four hours and he still hasn't answered ANYONE'S texts" she said after seeing that their group text was still missing a single reply from Cam.

Drakken really had no idea what to say, he hadn't expected Heather to actually be having a problem. The whole father thing is still new to him and he hasn't actually seen Heather legitimately angry since the day they met, not that right now she was anything close to legitimately angry but she was frustrated, and he had no idea what to do.

"I'm sure everything's fine" Drakken said and honestly what could be so wrong?

Heather shrugged as she leaned her back against the counter and crossed her arms.

"I guess, it's just he's my best friend and we tell each other everything, but lately it's like there's something he's keeping from me" she said and before Drakken could say anything else her phone went off. "Ugh, and now I have to drag Lindsey with me on a mission" she groaned.

"NO!" Lindsey's shout came from the other room before she came running into the kitchen. "I want to stay here!" She whined but Heather shook her head.

"Sorry but Zach and me have to go" she told her sister.

"I could watch her" Drakken offered, Heather looked up, as if to ask him if he was sure, which he wasn't, but then gave in.

"Fine, be good Lindsey, thanks dad" Heather said before rushing off to get changed and then she was gone.

Cam was freaking out, he couldn't keep this up. Lying for a friend he could do, but lying TO his friends? That was different. When Mark texted him, a group message to him and the others about next weekends practice at Wade's, he just buried his phone underneath his pillow, he just didn't want to deal with any of his friends. After a couple hours he heard his phone underneath his pillow, and he dared to look at it. Surprisingly the I.D. was Chloe's and after a moment of debate he answered.

"Cam… Monkey Fist... he's onto me, HELP!" She panted and screamed on the other end.

"Chloe? Chloe! Where are you?" He questioned as his mind raced in a panic.

"Superior's castle, hurry!" She shouted and the line went dead.

Without a second thought Cam sent out a mission alert to the others, got changed, and bolted.
