"Guys! Wake up!" Donald yelled as he hit their capsule doors. "Wake up!"

They groaned. "Mr. Davenport..." Bree whined. "It's only 5 in the morning..."

"There's a mission alert! Get ready to get changed in your mission suits." When they stepped out of their capsules, they were wide awake and ready to go.

"Bye Mr. Davenport."

"Good luck guys."

"Mr. Davenport! We need to talk to you." Bree said coming through the door with Adam. "It's about Chase."

"Sure, what is it?" Donald asked, not looking up from working on his latest invention. Chase was outside the lab, using his super hearing to listen to the conversation.

"He's so annoying, Mr. Davenport! The mission only needed me and Adam but Chase wanted to help even though we didn't need him!"

"Yeah, he's useless. All he does is tell us what to do when he can't even do anything."

"Yeah, we're the real heros here. Super smarts isn't even cool. Can we-"

Donald interuppted them. "Look, guys, there will be certain missions when someone won't be needed, but that doesn't mean you won't need Chase in the future. Now go tell him I said that, I'm busy working on my new, awesome invention! Isn't it c-" Adam and Bree were out of there before he could finish.

But Chase was already gone before Bree and Adam could even leave the lab.

Chase was pacing back and fourth in his room.

"How am I going to face Myra? I should have been more careful. Yesterday, I thought she would yell at me, ask thousands of questions. But she did the exact opposite. What if she tells my family? Would they even care? Adam and Bree are such jerks. I wanted to help them with the mission because I felt I could do something. But they don't appreciate me at all. They bully me too. They call it teasing, but it gets to the point when it's not teasing anymore. They're supposed to be my older siblings! But they don't act like it at all." Chase recalled the mission.

"Stand back Micro Man, this is a job for Hustle and Muscle."

"Yeah Flash Glue, watch and learn."

"I can help too, you know!"

"Muscle and I don't need your help. Just like on every other mission. Grab on, Adam."

"Guys, wa-" But Bree and Adam were gone in less than a second.

Chase sighed. He had too many things on his mind right now. He was scared to go to school, to face Myra, and all the harrassment that would be coming for him.

"Gosh, it's almost time to get ready for school. I hate school now. I can't enjoy it anymore. Truman, Trent, and... that other person beat me up when ever they see me. And everyone teases me. They hit me with words. And it hurts."

"I still have some time left... I can do it. I want to." Chase grabbed his pocket knife that he kept behind the lamp and head off to the bathroom.

Chase pulled the hood on his jacket over his head when he walked into the school building. Adam and Bree were avoiding Chase and vice versa. Chase was fine with that. He didn't want to talk to them anyways. He shoved his books in his locker and walked away, head down, looking at his feet. He was pushed back.

"Hey, nerd!" It was Trent, with Truman and Arsen.

Chase looked up at them. "W-What do you g-guys want?"

Arsen kicked Chase in the stomache, sending him to the ground. Chase groaned in pain.

Truman grabbed Chase by the shirt collar and pulled him up. He proceeded to punch him in the face, which gave Chase a black eye. He threw Chase back on the ground. Trent stepped up and hovered over Chase.

"Hey loser, what are you going to do after school? Next month's homework?" The three laughed. Trent continued

"You're so lame. Get a life." They walked away, but Arsen picked Chase up and threw him into the lockers.

"See you later dork!"

That day, Chase got physically abused more at school more than he ever has before. He could barely even walk. He stayed after school hiding in the bathroom until he could manage walking again without falling. Besides the inability to walk and a black eye, Chase had gotten even more bruises on his arms and legs. He also had some new scars on his wrist, but he was the one who put them there.

After a while, Chase could walk. He decided to go home. He didn't want to, mainly because of Adam and Bree, but he also thought Mr. Davenport, Tasha, and Douglas would be unhappy.

Chase opened the door to his house, and was greeted by several angry faces.

"Where were you? You're two hours late! Did you know there was a mission alert while you were gone?!" Donald yelled.

"Chase, why didn't you answer your cell phone? We called you like a thousand times!" Leo exclaimed.

"Chase, you know you could have put you siblings in danger?" Douglas said.

"Oh, it's okay Douglas." Bree interrupted. "We don't need him. Me and Adam can always do missions by ourselves. Right, 'Muscle'?

"Right! All Chase does is boss us around! He doesn't even help us at missions because he can't." Adam and Bree were actually infuriated with their brother. They were mad that he wasn't there to help with the mission, because they were a team. It wasn't Chase's fault at all, but they didn't know that.

"Chase, you're grounded for a week, and you're suspended from the team until you can be a commited member. Got it?"

"But Mr. Davenport!" Chase was hiding his black eye successfully. "That's so unfair!"

"No 'buts' Chase. Go to your room."

"Okay." Chase mumbled. He didn't go to his room, however. He went to the bathroom, pocket knife in hand.

Chase came out of the bathroom and locked himself in his room. His face was wet and his eyes were red and puffy from crying.

Chase checked his phone, which was blown up with notifications.

You have 15 missed calls.

You have 10 new text messages.

You have 12 new private messages.

All the text messages and calls were from his family. He didn't bother listening to the voicemails, so he deleted them all. He looked at the private messages he got on Chatters.

They were all from people at school. He wanted to stop reading them, but he couldn't.

Chase couldn't think straight. He started crying again, and buried his face in his pillow. He couldn't take it anymore.

He would get bulliied every single day. At first it was just at school. He would get physically harmed, and verbally harmed too. He hated both, but hiding verbal abuse was much easier. He wouldn't have to hide his face everyday when he got home, or wear long pants when it was burning hot outside. The bullying wouldn't last all day before. Once school was over, he was free. He didn't have that anymore. Now it followed him home. It could happen anytime, anywhere, and he can't escape it, and he doesn't even know who it is.

He felt unappreciated by his family. Adam and Bree always shined because of their bionic abilities. Adam would always throw Chase around, and all his siblings teased him about everything he did. Sometimes he just wanted comfort from his older siblings. He wanted Leo to look up to him too. But he felt that Leo only looked up to Adam and Bree. He felt that his parents would favorite everyone except himself. He felt that nobody cared about him, he felt, unwanted, unloved...

But none of it was true. They did care about him, they did want him, they did love him. But Chase didn't know that.

He was just done.

He grabbed the bottle of pills.

PLEASE READ: Hey guys. I just wanted to tell you something. What I'm about to say next may be a spoiler, so if you don't wan to read it, skip to the next paragraph. What I'm going to say is...this story will have a happy ending. I didn't want those of you who like this story start to not like it because of this chapter. But yeah, the next thing I want to say...

Writing those comments that were sent to Chase in this chapter really made me feel something, especially the last two. Nobody deserves to be told that. Nobody at all. I hesitated when I was typing that, I'm not gonna lie. I don't know how someone could say that to another human being. Words hurt, use them carefully.

Well, I just wanted to say that. See you next chapter!
