Chapter 9

Chase hadn't left Declan's side since it happened. It had been less than a day, but it seemed like more than that. During that time everyone who could understand faces or computer data could see that Declan was slipping. As Chase held her hand you could feel her slowing and he actually feel asleep. At one point Donald placed a blanket on him before silently leaving. Chase woke up to see it had been a couple hours and wondered who placed the blanket on him. Whoever it was must had gotten the point he wasn't leaving her unless something happened, he was actually worried something would.

"Chase…" a voice said behind him.

"I'm not leaving…" Chase said bluntly.

"Relax Microman, it's me," Adam said walking in. He didn't know why he was there, he just felt he needed to be. Despite the bionic girl on the table beat him into a bush, he felt he at least needed to show he cared. She did practically commit suicide just to save his family.

"What do you want?" Chase asked in an angry tone. He really didn't need Adam coming down to make this worse by messing with him. He wasn't sure if he'd be able to stop from attacking him.

Adam fidgeted a little before he nervously asked, "How is she?"

"The same…" he sighed. "I just wish I could do something. What brought you down here?"

"Mr. Davenport and Douglas are arguing upstairs about what to do and other things I don't understand…" he revealed. That was part of the reason. It would take much more for him to admit he was worried about his brother.

"Great…" he groaned. That was all he needed, the only two people who knew even remotely where to start in order to save her were fighting.

"I don't see why you couldn't?" Adam voiced. His brother was a genius so why couldn't he help her?

"Wait, what?" Chase questioned.

"You help her," Adam shrugged.

Chase thought about what Adam said. He had seen both Davenports work on their chips before so it shouldn't be that hard. He knew what wrong from what Douglas told him and what to watch out for. The more he thought about it the problem became relatively simple. The problem was the current damage done to her body and the Suicide App. They couldn't fix the app remotely and her body just needed time like any of theirs. He knew what to do.

"Adam, can you leave me alone?" Chase asked his brother. Adam smirked and nodded before going upstairs. As soon as he left Chase ran to the computer and activated a force field then blacked it out so no one could look inside. He would save her.

It had been hours since Adam had gone down to the lab to see Chase. He was happy that he could help out for a change. If anyone could do it, it was Chase. He was smart like that. When he arrived upstairs the brothers were still fighting while Bree was trying to shut them up with any means possible. They were so engrossed in their squabbling that the imitation of Principal Perry didn't work. Adam finally had enough and ripped them apart tossing them back a few feet.

"Adam?!" they both yelled.

"It got you to stop," Bree commented. "Don't you see what you're doing? Your fighting isn't helping Declan who is dying downstairs."

"Don't worry Bree, Chase is on it," Adam mentioned to his sister. The three faces turned to look at the oldest bionic.

"What?!"

"He's locked the lab and trying to fix her. What's so hard to understand?" Adam said.

"He doesn't know what he's doing!" Donald said making a break for the lab to try and stop the youngest from accidently killing her before the girl got a chance.

"Don…" Douglas's voice died as his older disappeared from the room. He was trying to tell him it would be no use to try and go down there. Chase was smart, he'd lock his way in there with no way in.

Donald ran down thinking about what was happening. How could this kid enter their lives and make everything do chaotic? He began to see what Douglas saw in her. She was the type of person that attracted others even though it was clear she didn't like it. He came to the lab to meet a force field. Donald wasn't going to try and touch after what happened the last time.

"Chase!" Donald yelled trying to get Chase's attention. He knew the younger boy could hear him.

"Donald, it's no use, he can't hear you," Douglas said arriving on the scene.

"Oh yes he can. Chase!" he yelled twice as loud. The force sparked and a screen appeared.

"Don't try and stop me Mr. Davenport. I can do more than you two would have." Chase said. Donald didn't want to admit, but he saw a little Douglas in him. The screen went blank and disappeared.

"Adam!" Donald called.

"No."

"What?"

"I said no." Adam repeated himself with more defiance this time. He was the one who convinced Chase to take the challenge and he wasn't going to take it. Chase would really hate him then.

"I'll find in a way myself!" Donald said messing with the controls on the side.

"Donnie…" Douglas said trying to get his brother's attention. He agreed with giving Chase a chance when they couldn't do anything. That itself was something.

"What?" the older brother snapped.

"I think you should let Chase handle this…"

"He doesn't know what he's doing."

"And neither do we so what's the issue?" Douglas countered. Adam and Bree kept quiet. The way it looked they were leading to hashing it out again.

"He could cause more harm than good," Donald fired back. It almost sounded like he cared for the girl.

"And we got nowhere. I think this is more about your pride in not wanting to admit being helpless or being showed up by a kid!"

"That isn't it!" Donald yelled finally turning from the panel to face his brother.

"Then what?"

"I don't want to him anymore hurt than he already is!" Donald cried.

Everyone stared at the oldest Davenport in shock. No one ever thought that he'd think like that. Usually it was 'me, me, and me'. It was rare occasion that he'd ever act for another person. Now that the others thought about the same Donald had a point. If Chase failed it could affect him. Might bring him down to where they couldn't get him back.

Chase wasn't working on Declan's chip directly yet. As he thought about it an idea came to him. He only hoped it would work. The app was smart. It only felt threaten when it was being tampered with directly. So Chase decided to go indirectly. He ignored the noise outside despite he could hear every word said. He wished he could just turn off his hearing, but he didn't think it worked like that. He heard what Donald said and pushed it aside. He would succeed. When Chase finally got to putting the idea in motion he knew he had to be quick. He remembered that Douglas mentioned that the app would retaliate only if someone messed with it. He could remove her chip, but she'd die. The app wasn't more than smart, but intelligent to crafty and diabolical. It knew without her bionics she'd die so the only thing it had to protect was itself. He assume she wouldn't die immediately so he had some room. He hooked up machines to inform him of her life signs. He'd have to keep watch. He took a deep breath and took out her chip.

Her signs looked okay as soon as he did it, but seconds as he began to work, they slowly dropped. First it was heart rate followed by her respirations. He didn't have as much time as he hoped he would. Luckily he went through it all in his head a few times before doing anything. He just had to pull somethings out and upload what he figured out. He was just about finished when he heard the force field power down. So Mr. Davenport got through it. Inside he hoped he touched because it would have given him a slight jolt. He looked up for a second to see his family at the entry way.

"Chase, what did you do?" Douglas asked seeing Declan's black chip in the chip extractor as Chase prepared to implant it back in. Before anyone got a chance to stop him he uploaded it back in. He breathed out in relief as his work immediately took affect and her vital signs started to improve.

"I did what you couldn't. I fixed her." Chase replied looking to the father figures. His face was straight and the emotional anger at them for not trying harder showed.

"What exactly did you do?" Donald asked.

"Well I remembered what Douglas said. I created a program that targets the app to change. Since I couldn't remove it, I remodeled using what it wants against it. It wants her bionics, but it won't shut them down in fear of harming her bionics so it has to let the program run its course. The program subtly changes the app getting rid of the self-activating, makes it more like an in control commando-app, but still does the same functions as it normally did. It will only target the app and nothing else. Afterward she can activate it on her own, but at the moment it won't do anything until reactivated which can't go on for long or what I programmed will be reset back to the previous setting. Since this program takes room I had to remove some of her bionics such as super strength, super speed, and vocal manipulation. I noticed since her body has gotten strong so she won't need the strength and she can go anywhere by Geo-Leaping. The vocal manipulation was something that she really didn't need, but could be removed." Chase explained the best he could.

"Way to go Chase." Donald said placing a hand on his shoulder. He shrugged his shoulders to make it seem like it was nothing, but he really didn't want anyone to touch him right then.

"Let's hope it works." Bree mentioned. Chase never said anything that this was a done deal. They looked to Bree and then Chase. Chase nodded that she was indeed correct and now they just had to wake.

"It will work. When will we know?" Douglas said.

"If she wakes up."

He didn't mean to make his answer sound so serious, but it was. At one point someone would say after giving a treatment it was all up to the patient now. That was kind of true, but the program had to work despite how quickly he put it together. He was a genius after all, he just hoped it was enough.

Chase didn't keep looking at his family for their reactions as he looked down to Declan. Right before he implanted the chip again he noticed her vital were dangerously low. He put together that she could survive about five minutes without her chip and an outside support. Just from the last few minutes though she already looked better. She wasn't as pale nor looking like she was struggling to breath or get a hold of herself, but that could have been from implanting her chip back in. It had to work. He did so much and he knew if he didn't, he or anyone wouldn't get another try.

AN: And this is Chapter 9 my friends! I hope everything Chase did made sense. I'm sad to say this, but I think the next one is the last chapter. (Crying…) Well, sorry to leave you hanging, but the cliffs call to me to dangle off of. Sorry this is a little late I guess, but I've gone back to school. Yay…can't you read the sarcasm? Please leave me Review and See you next chapter!
