I'm baa-aaack! With Chapter 10! We reached 49 reviews, which, last I checked, is more than 45. So congratulations! Your reward is one (very short) Chapter 10 this morning and one (very long) Chapter 11 this afternoon.

So there was a little confusion on the last chapter, sorry about that. Yes, Chase was having a dream. A nightmare, to be precise. I drew inspiration from a radio drama called "Adventures in Odyssey." There was an episode called "Someone to Watch Over Me." In it, the main character, Jimmy, had a series of nightmares in which he struggled against a character called Grim (also known as the Grim Reaper, or death). So I kinda based it off of that, in the sense of battling some evil darkness trying to take your life. Sorry you guys were confused!

Did anyone see "Principal From Another Planet" when it aired last night? I've got to admit, I've been disappointed in season three so far (with the exception of Sink or Swim), but I think this one was pretty good. The cyberdesk is back! I can die happy. Although when Chase got in the left capsule I got mad (aka yelled at the TV). YOU GO IN THE MIDDLE, CHASE! I'm sorry. I'm calm now. GAH!

Alright, sorry for the rambling. I'm trying to make up for the short chapter. Let me know what you guys think! I loved writing something from Douglas's POV. He's definitely an interesting character.

Behold, Chapter 10! I don't own Lab Rats.

* * * Douglas's POV * * *

I looked at the pale form of my youngest son lying on the cot. His breathing was short and shallow. His pulse was weak. I gulped. I needed to save him.

"Great job, Chase," I muttered between gritted teeth. "You're going to ruin everything. I had it all perfectly planned, but you had to spoil it by using two abilities when I specifically told you not to."

I stopped myself when I realized what I was saying. Regardless of any diabolical plans his death would mess up, I needed to save him because he was my son. He was a weapon of mass destruction, but, in a strange way, I loved him.

My fingers flew over the controls of the cyberdesk. If I could decrypt these files and upload the update to Chase's chip, then there was a possibility I could save him. Judging by his current state, I didn't have much time left.

Thoughts were flowing in and out of my mind at a hundred miles per minute. I was drawing on all my medical and scientific knowledge. Which was quite a lot, since I'm a genius.

I shouted excitedly when I made a break through. Ha! Donnie's rudimentary blocks were no match for my brilliance! He always tried to outsmart me, but it never worked! I smirked. Little did my brother know that every block he had put in was making it less likely that I could save the life of the boy he considered his son. Oh, the irony!

Now all I had to do was tweak the program and insert it into Chase's chip. If my hands were going fast before, they were moving at light-speed now. I threw one more worried glance in Chase's direction. He didn't seem to be doing so well.

"Come on, Chase," I muttered. "Just hang on for a few more seconds." Somewhere deep in my mind I wondered what would happen if this update didn't work, but I pushed that thought away. It had to work.

Just a few more seconds. Literally like fifteen. Chase was strong, I told myself. He'll make it. I walked over to my youngest son and put a hand on his cheek. He was so cold. I was losing him.

"Come on, Chase!" I said into his ear. "You have to make it! You're strong! You can pull through! Please." I think my voice cracked a little at the end.

My cyberdesk beeped. Hurrying over I tapped a few more buttons. All I had to do was send the update wirelessly to his chip. That's all it would take. If this worked, he would be okay. Chase lay completely still. His breathing was almost nonexistent. My finger pushed the button. This was our last hope.

Haha, you guys thought I would clear everything up, didn't you? Nope! I only made things worse! *does Chase's immature evil laugh from "Air Leo"* I guess you'll have to wait until this afternoon to see what happens! In the meantime, review! What do you guys think of Chase's life being in the hands of Douglas? Do you have faith in his evil maniac of a father? Let me know and I'll see you later! *pauses for breath then continues to run from angry mob of Chase fans*
