Cassie's POV
Down in the lab I was standing in between Chase and Adam, reading over Chase's shoulder.
"Guys, I need to prep you for very important mission and to demonstrate, Leo-"
"Uh-uh" Leo cut Mr. D of "mission specialist Dooley will be adding a bit more audio-visual pizzazle to the usual snooze fest. Assistant Andrews if you would?" he smirked holding out the Daven-pad.
I muttered to myself as I took the Daven-pad and hit a few buttons until small mediocre fireworks appeared on the computer screen "Ta-da!" I said unenthusiastically then handed Leo back the Daven-pad.
"If you want a show kick in the doe" Leo said when he saw the3 weird looks Chase and Adam were giving him.
"Tonight I'm sending you in to gather some intelligence" Mr. D started only to be cut off by Chase.
"Oh you hear that Adam! You better bring a big basket"
Callie rolled her eyes and crossed her arms "And you better bring some new insults." I smirked at her defending Adam.
Mr. D rolled his eyes at us and continued in with the presentation. "Leo" he messed with the Daven-pad until an abandoned building showed up on the computer screen. "I was satellite scanning industrial sites when I found this warehouse that I think is a front for environmental criminals." Mr. D motioned to Leo again and the slide changed to some barrels. "You see these barrels? They're full of toxic chemicals. They're expensive to dispose of properly so they're just going to dump them into the sea"
"Which can harm ocean life" Leo added.
"Oh, and it can obliterate the coastline" I added with a smirk.
Suddenly off to the side Bree started laughing, I looked over and saw she was talking on the phone with someone. "Owen you are so sweet. Yes I will Bree your valentine" Bree pulled the phone away from her ear and looked at us. "You see he took my name-"
"Yeah, we got it" Chase said cutting Bree off.
"Even I got it" Adam said then turned to us "I didn't get it."
"What's going on?" Mr. D asked.
Callie smirked and re-crossed her arms "She's talking to Owen. He's an artist and he claims that Bree is his muse"
"Well, I for one am not amused" Mr. D said sarcastically.
I snickered "No pun intended" I said right before Leo played a noise on the Daven-pad.
"Give me that" Mr. d yanked it from Leo then pointed to Bree "And you, off the phone"
"Ugh!" Bree groaned and hung up "Fine. Just tell us what you invented, what went wrong, and how long until it blows up"
Mr. D rolled his eyes again "Look, the police cannot bust these guys without evidence, so I need you to sneak in there and gather samples. Show 'e,m the barrel" Mr. D nodded towards the covered Barrel. Leo walked over and yanked the sheet away. "Now there's only one safe way to get these samples, and Leo-"
"I got this one" I cut Mr. D off and jumped in front of the barrel.
"no" Leo pushed me to the side "this is a job for the mission specialist, I'll let you know when you're needed… assistant"
'First, take the canister and attach it to the spout. Push down and turn 45 degrees" Leo tried to turn it but couldn't so Mr. D paused and turned the canister then continued "to create an airtight seal. Then pull the handle"
"LOL, Owen" Bree laughed again. We all looked over to see Bree texting Owen this time.
"Bree, you with us" Callie asked snapping in her face,
'Huh?" she looked up at us and Mr. D gave her an exasperated look. "Oh, come on! Why do I have to pay attention all the time? Strong. Smart. Fast. Let's just do this already" Bree said then speed off but ended up running right into the doors.
"Bree how many times have I told you no texting while super speeding" Mr. D reprimanded her.

I waited down in the lab for the three to get home from their mission, Callie was waiting with me but got tired and went upstairs for bed. When the three walked in Chase looked annoyed and Bree wasn't in her mission suit. Oh God.
"What happened?" I asked as I jumped off the cyber desk. "And why is Bree not in her mission suit?"
"Because she never even put it on. It's common sense to wear your mission suit on a mission. Hence the name" Chase said in a duh voice while looking at Bree.
"It's not that big of a deal" Bree scoffed and crossed her arms.
"Actually it is" I intervened "You were dealing with toxic chemicals, what if you got infected"
"Relax" Bree waved me off "I still wore the gloves"
I raised my hand in surrender "Okay, but if you wake up in the morning intoxicated I will gladly say I told you so" I said to Bree, but she just rolled her eyes and got into her capsule. I rolled my eyes and turned to Chase
"Night" I smiled
"Night" he smiled back then gave me a quick kiss before he got into his capsule.

Cassie's POV
The next morning I stood in the lab next to Leo and Callie waiting for the story on what happened on the mission yesterday, I mean I know Bree didn't wear her mission suit but I didn't know they failed the mission.
Mr. D went to each capsule and pounded on the doors "wake up, I want a complete debriefing of what went wrong last night without any giggling when I say the word debriefing" and Leo being oh so childish he laughed anyways as Chase and Adam got out of there capsules. "Guys, you failed the mission, what happened?" Mr. D asked before Bree stepped out of her capsule only to have a really loud alarm go off. "Get back in your capsule!" Mr. D ordered. "The system is destroying a high level of contamination in Bree's capsule"
My confused looked melted into a smug smirk "I told you so!" I shouted at Bree.
Bree rolled her eyes "What? That ridiculous. How could my capsule be…? Ooohhh"
"'Oh' what? What is 'Oh'" Chase asked looking at her suspicious.
"Duh! 'Oh' is the second letter in the number ten" Adam said in a duh voice.
Callie looked up at him confused "Wouldn't be the second number?" she asked, Adam just shrugged.
"Bree is it possible you were exposed to something toxic on the mission?" Mr. Davenport asked ignoring him.
"It is very possible!" I shouted cutting Mr. Davenport off.
"How would you know?" Callie asked placing a hand on her hip.
"Either way she's right" Leo said not looking up from his Daven-pad. "According to this Bree's mission suit never left her capsule last night"
'Why weren't you wearing your mission suit?" Mr. Davenport asked Bree.
"Oh, I'll tell you why" Chase cut in "Because she was out with Owen. She showed up late, contaminated herself, and then set off the alarm"
"And you wonder why no one at school likes you" Bree retorted.
"Until I figure out what exactly you were exposed to the capsule should counteract the effects of your contamination but you are quarantined until further notice"
"Quarantined?" Bree repeated "But Owens's having a big art show at school tonight"
"Maybe you should've, I don't know, worn your mission suit" I said sarcastically.
Bree glared at me then turned to Mr. D "Mr. Davenport" she whined.
"You are not leaving that capsule until Adam and Chase get back in that warehouse and figure out exactly what you were exposed to"
"Besides, Owens bad art" Adam quipped.
"Great, now that we set off the alarm, getting past security is going to be even harder. How are we going to get in?" Chase asked.
"The same way I'm standing right here and you can't see me" Mr. Dsaid. I looked over expecting to see him but didn't
"No way" I mumbled in awe.
"How'd you do that?" Leo asked confused.
"He's a witch" Adam shouted hiding behind Callie.
"Or he's really tiny like in 'Honey I shrunk the kids'" Callie laughed a little but quickly stopped "Make sure you all check your cereal before you eat it"
"No, it's my new special micro protection technology" Mr. D corrected them.
Adam straightened up from behind Callie and shook his head "Dude, I know witchcraft and you're a witch"
"No, I'm not!" Mr. D denied becoming seeable again. "This device scans your environment and uses a matrix of light projections to create a virtual environment you can hide behind!" Mr. D explained then disappeared again. "Ta-da!" then Mr. D's head only became visible, "I invented it as a 3-D modeling engine for space telescopes" then Mr. D went completely invisible.
"Aha! So he's a space witch!" Adam shouted "Those are the worst kind" Chase rolled his eyes then walked off to go get ready for the mission with Adam following.

Callie's POV
After Chase and Adam left to go get the samples I sat down in the lab next to Mr. Davenport so I could listen in on what was going on, that and Leo and Cassie were too busy playing video games to hang out with me. I watched them and the really stupid security guard for awhile on the screen until Chase came over the ear pieces.
"Foxtrot alpha pickle. Are you receiving audio, Mr. Davenport?" Chase asked.
"Copy that pickle"
"I'm here too" I cut in waving although they couldn't see me.
Mr. Davenport rolled his eyes and continued guiding the two through the mission. "Okay, Bree said the dangerous chemical she was exposed to came from a barrel with a green label on it"
'Copy that. We're looking for a green label" he repeated to Adam. "Wait a second. Bree said she wasn't wearing her gloves when she got contaminated. I've got her fingerprint stored in my database. I'll use my print recognition app to get a match" Chase paused. "Yes! I found it. It's called Neurothroxin. Is that bad?"
Right then Mr. D screamed "So bad, then?" I asked
"It's terrible! Exposure to Neurothroxin interrupts the connection between the brain and the muscles. There is no telling what it might do to her bionics"
"So what do we do?" Chase asked.
"Well, I can synthesize an antidote, but you have to get me a sample, and the effects become permanent after 24 hours, so hurry"
I watched over the video as the spatial micro projector died, then Chase and Adam got caught by the security guard, then the slipped on ice, and got captured.
"Oh boy" Mr. Davenport groaned placing his head in his hands.
"We're gonna have to go save them right?" I asked a little more excited than I should have been. I mean Leo got to go on a mission so why can't I, granted Cassie will probably hate, but so what.
"No, not we, I will save them" Mr. Davenport corrected standing up and grabbing a few things.
I got up and followed him "C'mon Mr. Davenport, Leo got to go on a mission it's only fair" I tried to reason.
"No, I need someone to stay here and watch Bree"
"But Leo and Cassie are here, they can do that." I argued.
"Yeah just leave to two most destructive teenagers together alone watching Bree" Mr. Davenport said sarcastically
"Please" I begged.
He sighed "Fine, come on"
I clapped and followed him into the elevator and up onto the main floor. When the doors opened we ran right into Leo and Cassie with a bag of chips in his hands.
"Leo, Cassie I need help" Mr. Davenport said the second he saw him.
"I know, but this is not a one-man job" Leo said shaking his head
"I'm gonna have to bring in a life coach" Cassie cracked.
"No, Callie and I are gonna go rescue Adam and Chase-"
"Wait, you're taking Callie on the mission and not me. First Leo now Callie, when am I gonna get to go on a mission" Cassie cut Mr. Davenport off. I sent Cassie a smug smirk
"Next time, I promise. But that is not the point I need you and Cassie to keep Bree in her capsule. Don't let her out or the effects of her contamination will manifest" Mr. Davenport explained
"You guys go on your mission. We got this, right Cassie" Leo nudged Cassie when she didn't answer.
"Yeah" Cassie gave in and got into the elevator with Leo as me and Mr. Davenport rushed out the door.

Cassie's POV
Once Leo and I got down to the lab the klaxon alarm was going off and Bree was nowhere to be found.
"Frack" I muttered.
"We had this" Leo said looking around.
After we established Bree was not in the house we went to the art show at the school knowing for a fact that she was there and that was confirmed when I saw her talking with Owen on the stairs.
"There she is" I pointed her out and Leo and I ran over.
"Bree- ahhh!" Leo cut himself off screaming when he saw wearing a mask made out of what looked to be video game controllers.
"Hey, we need to talk to Bree. Can you go put your face on pause somewhere else" Leo asked pointing somewhere away from where we were standing.
Owen took of his mask "In life, as in art, there is no pause, only moving forward" Owen said. I raised an eyebrow; this is the guy Bree snuck out for.
"Can you move forwards down the stairs" I asked pointing down the stairs. Owen nodded and left.
"That's the guy you snuck out for?" Leo asked voicing my thoughts. "Really?'
I sighed "Okay you had your fun but Mr. D needs you to stay in yourcapsule, let's go" I grabbed Bree's arms and started to walk away but Bree pulled her arm back
"Guys, he is overreacting, I am perfectly fine. See?" She held her hand in his face "I haven't had one single side effect?'
Then Bree's arm fell limp to her side "is that a side effect?" I asked with a look that said 'I already know it is so don't lie' while pointing to her arm.
"That's- that's nothing, what are you talking about. See? I am trying to come off as casual so Owen doesn't sense how desperate I am"
"It's not working' Leo quipped then Bree's Leg went limp.
"Then what's that?" I asked with the same look.
"I'm good. It's nothing." Then Bree fell down the stairs.
"Bree are you okay?" I called down to her.
She pulled herself up "See? That is performance art" Bree told the starring crowd. "I call it 'falling uncontrollably down the stairs'"

Callie's POV
Mr. Davenport and I walked over to warehouse 5 where Adam and Chase were being held.
Mr. Davenport held out two metal squares "Put these on"
"Why" I asked taking them.
"It's a cyber mask, it'll give you a disguise so we can get past the guards" Mr. Davenport explained.
I put them on and turned them on, Mr. D look like one of those ugly evil scientists, god I wonder what I look like.
"Follow my lead" Mr. Davenport whispered before we walked into the warehouse.
"You there! Release them! They're coming with us" Mr. Davenport said.
"Who are you two?" The stupid guard from earlier asked.
"The boss sent us in. They call me the in-terror-gator! And this is my secret specialist" Mr. Davenport introduced.
"Specialist at what?" he asked.
"If I told you that I wouldn't heave the title of 'secret specialist'" I crossed my arms. The guard looked between the two of us but didn't say anything so Mr. Davenport and I went over to untie Adam and Chase.
"All right you two, you're coming with us" Mr. D ordered
"Not without a fight" Chase resisted. I groaned, of course Chase would resist.
"Settle down punk" Mr. D shouted.
I rolled my eyes and whispered "relax Chase it's us. Callie and Mr. Davenport. follow our lead"
After we untied them Mr. Davenport scanned Adam chip to fix his eye sight.
"Ow that hurts!" Adam complained but blinked a few times then smiled "hey, I can see!" then he looked at us "You liar! You're not Davenport or Callie." Then Adam smacked Mr. Davenport causing his cyber mask to glitch and reveal his real face.
"Well, there goes our big escape" I smiled sarcastically and turned off my cyber mask. Adam jumped behind Chase and all the guards starred at us.
"Hi" Mr. Davenport waved sheepishly.
"I told you he's a witch" Adam gasped.
"I'm not a witch! We were wearing cyber masks!" Mr. Davenport corrected Adam.
"Stop them!" the idiot guard ordered. Soon we were all surrounded by men I did my best to fight them off, but when you're a 16 year old girl who spends more time watching TV then exercising it gets hard. One of them ended up knocking me to the ground and would've hit me if it wasn't for Adam fighting them off for me. It was kinda hot to watch him fight them off.
When all the guards were down Adam helped me up "Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah" I replied breathlessly "Thank you"
"Why do I even bother with safety briefs?" Mr. Davenport said through some coughs causing me to take a step back from Adam.
Adam then laughed "Underwear"
I rolled my eyes and looked around "We should probably run" I said before I took off running with them following behind me.

Cassie's POV
"Bree, Davenport's gonna freak out. We have to go" Leo said once again as Bree was slumped up against a bench not being able to move.
"Leo you idiot" I wacked his arm "she can't' even stand up, we have to figure out how to get her up and out of here before Mr. D gets back from the mission, without drawing attention to ourselves"
"Thanks, captain obvious" Leo said sarcastically.
"How are we going to do that when my whole body is numb" Bree pointed out. "See?" she scooted and inch before she fell over. "Just help me get out of here before it gets worth" Bree ended with a lisp. "It's worth"
"What's happening?" Leo asked.
I snickered a little "I think her tongue just went numb"
'Cassie, it's not funny I can't talk" Bree shouted still in a lisp.
"Finally, a positive side effect" Leo quipped causing me to laugh louder.
"Guys!" Bree shouted.
"Let's get you up" Leo said as he grabbed her arms and I grabbed her legs and put her on a rolled stool. Then we started to roll her towards the exit "There we go, now once we get outside I'll upgrade you to a nice shopping cart"
"Bree?" Owen said as he walked over to us. "I'm about to unveil the centerpiece of my exhibit. Are you okay?" Owen finally asked.
"Of course she is" I covered as Leo picked her up "She's fantastic. Your art is just so amazing, she's getting… emotional. You know us girls"
"That's good Cassie" Bree whispered.
"I know it is, I wouldn't have said it if it wasn't" I whispered back.
"Come on. I've been waiting to show you this all night" Owen said as he directed us over to the piece. "I wasn't kidding when I said that you were my muse" Owen said to Bree. "You've inspired me o create my most deeply meaningful piece yet. I call it 'My most deeply meaningful piece yet'"
"How original" I muttered sarcastically just before he took off the cover and revealed a huge portrait of Bree.
"That's not totally horrible' Leo said and he and I walked over to the painting.
I nodded "I'm slightly impressed, I'll give you that"
"What is it?" Leo asked.
'It's paintball art. Two thousand paintballs fired with precise accuracy to create a portrait of your sister"
Leo's eyes widened then he ran over and picked Bree up off the floor.
"Its about beauty, inspiring mankind to repurpose the tools of pseudo-violence as art. So, what do you think Bree?" Owen asked turning back just as Leo set her down on another bench.
Bree responded but I think the numbness was getting worse cause I couldn't even understand it anymore.
"She had the same reaction to the Mona Lisa" Leo told him as he picked Bree back up.
"Yeah, it just means she loves it" I explained walking back over and patted Owen's shoulder 'Well, wee better get going now." Bree and I argued for a few second making small noises before Leo threw Bree inot Owens arms.
"Yeah, that's enough. That's enough" Leo said taking Bree back but ended up throwing her threw the painting.
Leo looked between Bree, to Owen to the broken painting. I smiled sheepishly "We'll take it" then Leo and I ran over then we dragged her put of the building.
'Bye Owen!" Bree shouted.

It was a miracle that we got Bree home but we did.
"Okay, let's just get you back in your capsule before we all get in a lot of trouble" Leo said as we rolled her over to the capsule.
"Ahh!" we both screamed when we saw Mr. D, Chase, Adam, and Callie all sitting in the lab.
"Cleanup, Aisle Bree' Leo cracked pointing to Bree who we accidently knocked to the floor.
"Guys, you were supposed to watch her' Mr. D said as Adam, Chase, and Callie all helped Bree up.
"Oh, we're sorry. Somehow the fastest person in the world managed to sneak past us" Leo said sarcastically.
"Let's hope there's enough time left foe the antidote to work" Mr. D said as he gave her the shot.
"Breebie you okay?" Callie asked.
"I feel funny" Bree said then paused. "Funny' she repeated and repeated and repeated.
'Oh, just spit it out already!" Adam cut her off.
"Bree you can talk" I pointed out smiling.
She smiled too "I'm cured"
"Oh! That is such a relief! It'll be so much more enjoyable to punish you not that you're healthy!" Mr. D shouted the last part. "What were you thinking? You could have put us all in danger!"
"Sorry, I just wanted to be like every other girl and hang out with the boy that I like, I mean Cassie and Callie get to do it every day"
I smiled as Chase wrapped and arm around my waist and couldn't help but smirk as Callie blushed but didn't deny anything.
"What's the big deal?" Bree asked.
'The big deal is you're not like every other girl. You're not Callie and Cassie. You're part of a team and your decisions affect us all" Mr. D explained.
"Yeah. Because of you Cassie and I had to go to an art show" Leo quipped.
I groaned "And I never want to do that again"
"Yeah! And I haven't eaten since 2:30!" Adam added.
"Adam, it's only six" Callie pointed out.
"Also, on a lesser note" Chase cut in "we all could have been killed!"
"Yeah we wouldn't want that to happen" I agreed leaning into Chase feeling exhausted.
"Look, you can have a social life. Just don't let it interfere with your bionic life" Mr. D said.
"I get it. From now on when a mission comes up, it gets my full attention" Bree agreed.
"Okay, well, I think we've all learned a valuable lesson, so let's just go get something to eat" Mr. D offered.
I smiled "Yes" Chase took my hand as we all headed for the elevator but stopped when we heard a loud thud behind us.
Mr. D ran back over to Bree "Oh. I forgot to mention, it might take a little while for the antidote to get to the rest of her body, so everybody grab a limb" Mr. D ordered. "One of her limbs Adam" Mr. D added when Adam grabbed his own wrist.
Mr. D took a foot, Callie and Leo took the other foot, Chase and I took a hand while Adam go the other hand and we carried her into the elevator.

The next day Chase and I were sitting in the lab with Bree as she told us about what Owen said when he called her.
"And even after all of that he still wants to hang out with me" Bree said excited.
"I don't care" Chase told her.
I rolled my eyes "That's great Bree"
"Well, even though you failed your mission your mission, the cops hear the alarms and picked up those eco villains, so the ocean is safe thanks to all of… me actually" Mr. D said.
"Didn't Callie help too" I pointed out.
"Yeah, but it was mostly me" Mr. D said cockily.
"Well, I guess we got lucky" Chase said.
"Luck. Skill. I say we just put this whole thing behind us" Bree offered.
"Mr. D chuckled "Or- I could punish you for all the stupid things you did by making you sweep the lab" Mr. D cackled as he held out a broom to Bree.
Just then Callie and Adam walked into the lab "Guys, come on how can you not see he's a witch" Adam shouted.
Callie looked at him for a second then frowned "I can how you think that"
I laughed "There cute" I whispered to Chase as Callie and Adam talked about how Mr. D looked like a witch.
"Not as cute as us" Chase argued kissing my cheek.
