Man it's been a while. I am really sorry for making you guys wait so long. My life has been kind of complicated right now, which I will explain in a bit, but you guys probably don't want to hear about my personal problems. What you guys do care about is CHAPTER 5! Okay, I have some important stuff to say at the end, so please read.

And thanks to everyone who is reading this!

LR=Scene Change

Anger. That was the first thing he felt. It wasn't up to full blown rage yet, but it was getting close. It wasn't surprising though; after what he just went through, he's surprised anger isn't the only thing he was feeling. He was angry that his dad didn't tell them this major issue. He was angry that the rogues were out of prison and were planning something. He was angry because of what his own brother said to him, and to their sister who is probably having a plethora of emotions swarming around in her head.

Then he felt sadness. The kind of sadness that makes you want to just lie down in bed and wait till you know life is better than it was before. He was sad that his dad trusted an old enemy rather than his children. He was sad that his brother pretty much told him that everything that just happened was his fault. He was sad since he started to think it was true. They could have gotten more information on the rogues, maybe gotten their headquarters location. But he had to drop the arm and give away their position.

He could also feel some confusion. He was confused on what the rogues were planning. He was confused on how they got out. He was confused who else they were working with, and why they needed robotic parts.

Mostly, though, he felt that burning anger and chilling sadness. Leo just doesn't get it; why did Chase explode on them like that? Why was he so mad about the rogues' breakout? Sure, everyone was pretty mad of the turn of events, and everyone absolutely was nervous on what was going to happen, but Chase reacted differently. It's like he skipped the anxiety and instead is living in rage.

Leo scoffed. Why did he care? No matter what Chase was feeling, that was no way to respond to your team, your family. Leo understands what he did wrong; he messed up, and he paid the price. But the way he turned on Adam, who was trying to calm him down and help him out, was out of hand. If Bree and Leo hadn't gotten in-between them, they would have ripped each other apart.

And how he snapped on Bree was too much. Chase knows what Bree must be feeling right now, seeing Sebastian. Those two had a history, no matter how brief it was. Chase had no right in making Bree feel guilty.

Leo sighs. Bree says it's relaxing to sit on the beach. She says it's nice to feel the sand between your toes, to do nothing but stare at the waves, watching as its rhythmic repetition of in and out turns a stressed mind into a calm environment. She mentions how it's nice to be able to look up and make out the stars hung above the academy like a mobile. But here Leo sits lamely on the sand, absentmindedly playing with a coconut, noticing how there are no stars out at this time of the night. All the while, all he can do is glower at the lone light in the distance: the hydro-loop.

The light was there when he came outside. Douglas or Davenport probably had found a way to turn off its power, but for some reason haven't sent it back to the classroom. If Leo listened close enough, he could hear Chase yelling from the hydro-loop. From the sounds he's making, though, there's a good chance Spike came out. Actually, that was probably the reason.

Another sigh. Leo didn't understand why Mr. Davenport kept this from them. A small part of him knew Big D was just looking out for them, but it just felt like he didn't trust his kids. It felt like Mr. Davenport didn't think that his own children weren't ready for something this big. Even though they have faced off against people like this before. Even though they are the only people alive who can face off against the rogues. Even though no matter what ever happens, they always save the day; yet it was like all Big D saw in them were little kids who weren't able to handle something this big. It's like all Big D sees are the four inexperienced kids in the lab, training, having no mission experience.

Leo lets out a sigh. He's been doing a lot of that tonight, hasn't he? Still, he's probably holding up better than Adam and Bree; who knows what's going on in their heads? Leo closes his eyes, seeing if the ocean suddenly became calming.

Where did everything go wrong? Three years ago, everything was just so simple. It was just him and his mom, no one else. After his dad died, they did everything together. And it seemed perfect that way.

Then, she got married. Sure, Leo was happy for his mom, and excited since his new dad was a billionaire, but was he upset since now his mom had someone else to go to. Leo had no one.

He was wrong though. When he met Adam, Bree, and Chase, for the first time he had actual friends. Sure, they were the four biggest nobodies in school, but its better being at the bottom if someone can help you climb up. Those three years were probably the best years of Leo's life. Even through Marcus's betrayal, Douglas's reveal, and every misadventure in between, they got through it together, no matter how cliché that sounded.

Then Krane showed up, and everything changed. The easy-going life they lived became stricter, more important; there was no more time for goofing off and just having fun. Krane was top priority, and nothing was going to change until he was gone.

Leo scoffed. He knew it was too good to be true. It was just too good an idea that Krane would go away. Even after shooting him into the night sky, he always would be a thorn in his family's side. Even if Krane wasn't behind the robbery and breakout, he still manipulated the island and everyone on it.

The soldiers were a surprise. Just when everything was supposed to go back to normal, they showed up. Leo isn't saying that was a bad thing; on the contrary, if they weren't there, Leo might not be alive today. But, it was just a reminder that life was complicated now. And it will always be.

Another sigh escapes. Leo could feel a few tears prickle his eyes, but he willed them back in. He had to be strong, now more than ever. If Krane was really out there, his family had to protect the students at all costs. Right now they might be divided, but they had to come together for something big like this. It what always happen; they always save the day?

Right?

"Yeah I heard you…" Leo turned around. No one was there. "Yeah, everything is going great. And no one suspects anything." Leo looked the other way, but again, there was no one. "Is everything do okay on your end?" Turning back around, Leo still couldn't hear anything. While wondering what was going on, he almost didn't notice the sound of footsteps coming in his general direction.

Against his better judgement, Leo hid behind the nearby palm tree. Crouching down, he mentally cursed himself. He should be running away from the shadowy figure on an isolated island, not staying nearby. "I didn't expect him to get so mad though. This could be a problem…Of course I know what's at stake here, it's my plan!" Leo was about to duck down more, when he realized the voice sounded familiar.

Curiosity taking control, Leo peeked out of the bush to see whoever was there, and was surprised to see… "Douglas?" Leo said, almost at a whisper. What was his step-uncle doing out here, on another phone call? He can't have that many friends.

"Look, I don't care, it will be fine! As long as we get him to help us, everything will go find." Him? Leo thought. "Yes, I understand the severity of this situation, okay! That's no reason to freak out!" The situation? What?

"Okay, whatever. Look, I am really not really in the mood for this, Donnie just told everyone what happened with the breakout. I'll tell you more about it when I see you in two days… Well, maybe if you were there, this wouldn't be happening!"

What was going on? Why was Douglas screaming over the phone to some mysterious person to the second time this week? It made no sense. That's when the past few days started to make a bit more sense.

No one knows what happened now except Donnie.

He has been working the kids a lot harder I heard, so he must be preparing them.

Only person I told was Douglas.-I only told him last night.

Yeah, he hasn't told me. Yet.

Douglas must have been talking about the breakout. But, how could he have known about it a day before Big D told him? Did Douglas look through Davenport's files? Did the person on the phone have anything to do with this? Now wanting to find out what was happening, Leo tried to get closer to his uncle.

"Yes, we'll still be meeting at…" Crick. Time seemed to stop for a second. Leo looked down, only to find in the process of crawling forward, he accidently knelt on a branch. Thinking fast, he ducked back into the bush, right before Douglas turned around. Douglas looked around for a bit, before remembering he was in the middle of a phone call. "Huh, w-what. Sorry, I thought I heard something. Anyway…" Looking through the bush leaves, he could see Douglas walk back toward the academy and away from Leo's hearing range.

Once he was a safe distance away, Leo got out of the hiding spot. What was going on with Douglas? How did he know so much, and who was this mystery caller? Leo turned to go run to the academy, to find his siblings, when he stopped.

Leo thought to what had happened only an hour ago. Chase's anger, Davenport's distrusting, Adam and Bree's disappointment…Leo couldn't tell them something like this right now. Best case scenario, they get mad at him and say he's being paranoid. No, he can't bring this to them now. At least not yet; not until he has proof.

Douglas said he is meeting someone in two days. It has to be on the mainland, since he won't be able to sneak a person n and off the island with no one noticing. Well, if the mainland is where Douglas is going, so is Leo. He isn't going to let something else make life more complicated them it already was.

Leo could see the lone light in the distance speed its way to his home. Big D must have finally decided Chase had cooled down enough and should go to bed. Deciding to do the same and head back to the academy too, Leo looked up, and smiled at what he saw. The first star of the night had come out right above the academy. Maintaining a small smile, he headed back to his room, knowing it's been a long day. But, he was unaware he was being watched.

From behind a palm tree a little ways away, Douglas could see Leo walking back to the academy, not knowing on what was going to happen. Putting the phone to his ear, the scientist said with confidence, "Everything is going according to plan."

Hoped you guys liked it. Honestly, I don't think this chapter came out too well. I had a bunch of ideas on how to do it, but eventually settled with this one. I'm sorry if you guys didn't like it though.

Okay so for the important stuff. 1. I am going to try my best to post another chapter before Christmas. Because after Christmas, I am probably going to go off the grid for a month. I am having back surgery done, so I won't be able to really concentrate for a while. I will probably be back though around February or March. 2. It has come to my attention that my plot summary is not as enthralling as I thought it was. If you guys have any ideas on a new summary, send me some ideas. Try to PM if you can. 3. So I can be a better writer, I need to know: Is my writing getting worse every chapter, or better. Please be honest, but not like mean or insulting everything. 4. I have a one-shot idea in mind for the future, and will probably be posting that in the near future. Just a heads up. 5. No one has done my poll yet, so if you guys want, it's on my profile.

I feel like I'm forgetting something. Eh, whatever. Thanks again to everyone who reviewed, favorited, and/or followed. Later!
