Cassie's POV
"Okay, what is all of that?" I asked my boyfriend turning around in my seat to look at Chase.
"Oh this?" Chase smirked gesturing to his trap thing. "This is a little something I like to call "Adam's Payback"
"For what?" I mused. Chase just looked at me.
"Don't you remember what happened last Thursday" He asked. I thought about it, and then smiled at the memory.
"Oh yeah…"
FLASHBACK
We all stood in the living room arguing about Adam's ability to clear the counter.
"Adam, there is no way you can clear that counter." Leo said.
"Sorry A-man I have to side with Leo." I crossed my arms. Adam looked highly offended.
"No way, he could reach that easy." Callie argued. Bree nodded.
"Yeah I've seen him do it" She told us. Suddenly Chase walked in. Not very good timing.
"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" He asked. Adam grinned.
"This" He picked Chase up by his collar and threw him across the room. He crashed down in front of the counter. Ha! I knew he couldn't clear it/ Leo looked at Callie and Bree.
"Told you" He said smugly.
I stifled my laughter as I walked over to Chase and helped him up "Are oyu okay?" I asked.
"Yeah" Chase nodded, rubbing his back. "I will get you back for this" he pointed at Adam then left the room.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Ah yes. We all love the bionic brother toss" I said, still smiling.
"Yeah, well let's see how he likes this." Chase said as Leo, Bree, Callie, and Adam all walked into the lab. Bree leaned up against the desk next to me and Chase hid in the corner, awaiting his victim.
"Trap." Leo said in a bored tone as he stepped over it.
"What?" Callie asked being clueless. But being the lucky son of a jackal she is stepped right over it.
Adam on the other had stepped right into it "trap, what?" he asked.
Chase hit a button on the remote he was holding, and then the rope tightened around his ankle and pulled him up in the air and upside down.
"Yes! It worked!" Chase exclaimed, running out from his corner.
Now let's see how you like being relentlessly manhandled. We all just stared at him as he processed what he just said "Okay, that came out wrong"
"Oh, the trap was on the floor" Adam finally realized.
"yep, and now we're going to play a game called Human Piñata, but instead of candy, we're gonna guess what Adam had for lunch." Chase said.
"Ironically, I'm guessing its candy" Leo commented.
"You're forgetting one thing chase, I can use my heat vision to break free" Adam reminded him. Callie took a step forward.
"Adam, that's not really a good…" Adam grabbed the cyber desk and looked dup at the rope, sending a laser up at it and breaking it. When it did Adam hit the desk then the floor with a loud crunch. "…idea" she finished needlessly.
Adam jumped up "Ha! Nice try!" he shouted not even noticing that his arm was wrapped around his neck like a jump rope. Bree straightened up.
"Um, Adam?" she said worried. He looked at his arm.
"Woah, I never knew my arm could bend like that." He said clueless.
"It can't" I told him. Adam looked from his arm to me then back to his arm then screamed. The last thing I saw was Leo fainting cause then I'm pretty sure I fainted.

After Chase woke me back up we went to go get Mr. D and he checked out Adam's arm with a little portable x-ray.
"You're lucky it wasn't broken and just dislocated" Mr. D said as he pulled the x-ray out of Adam's sleeve. "How many times have I told you guys not to goof around?" He asked.
"Brace yourself, because this is probably going to shatter your world, but they don't listen to a word you say." Callie told him.
"Look, I know this was a freak accident, but he could've seriously been hurt. What would've happened if he would've hit his head?" Mr. D asked Chase.
"It would've popped open and sprayed confetti everywhere." Chase joked.
"That would be awesome." Adam gasped.
"You know what I mean" Mr. D said with a disapproving look as he walked over to the console
"But Mr. Davenport, I wasn't trying to hurt him." Chase argued. "I was trying to get even. Adam is always punching me and throwing me around."
"Yeah, but when I do it, it's funny." Adam told him.
"Adam, it is not funny." He scolded. "If any of you get seriously hurt when I'm not around, all it takes is one X-ray of your bionic chip and you know what happens next."
"Yes. You three," Leo gestured at Adam, Bree, and Chase "get shipped off to a government facility, and Big D goes to the big house, and Cassie, Callie and I get a big old mansion all to ourselves."
"Leo, Cassie, this is serious." Mr. Davenport snapped.
"Oh come on!" I said. "This really can't be the first time Adam has ever gotten hurt."
"No, it really is." Bree told me. "Although there have been some close calls."
"Yeah, like that time I reached under the table and when I stood up I-" Adam ducked under the table and wacked his head as he tried to stand up. "Ow! Hey, it was just like that!"
"Look, you're all going to have to start being a lot more careful. You're super-human, but you're not invincible." Mr. Davenport told them seriously.
"Maybe not." Adam agreed. "But I can still do this."
Adam then swung at Chase. Chase ducked out of the way as Adam snapped his arm back, grimacing in pain. Chase smiled victoriously. "Well great!" Adam complained. "Now Bree's the strongest."
Bree showed off her muscles and we all laughed, well, except for Adam, who was being serious, and Chase, who was offended.
Callie's POV
Finally! Bree and I got some time to watch this new movie that came out and I was so happy. It had been out for a while now and I wanted to go see it but Bree wouldn't let me go without her. She thought I would spoil it for her if we didn't watch it at the same time. We were halfway through the movie when Leo came down stairs.
"Oh, I love this movie!" Leo exclaimed, jumping over the couch. "Okay, I don't want to spoil it, but he falls off a cliff, those two get married, and that bear is her father is disguise."
I sighed, furious. "Leo, you little terd," I shoved him. "Why do you always do that?"
"Seriously," Bree agreed. "'I'm Leo and I have to ruin everything for everyone.'"
We all froze, Leo and I turned and looked at Bree wide eyed and her expression mimicked ours as she stared back.
"Was that…" I trailed off pointing from Bree to Leo.
"What…did you just…What'd you just do?" Leo's voice turned shrill.
"I have no idea!" Bree exclaimed in Leo's shrill voice. She slapped her hands over her mouth and we all looked at each other again.

"Bree, remember when I told you that strange things might be happening to your bionics?"Mr. Davenport asked as he x-rayed Bree's throat. "Well, it looks like you have uncovered one of your hidden abilities. Either that, or puberty has been very unkind to you."
Leo and I snickered and Bree sent us a glare. "It's not funny. This is really freaking me out."
"Freaking you out? You jacked my voice, man!" Leo accused. Mr. Davenport ignored him and turned to Bree.
"It seems to be some sort of vocal manipulation. Whenever you hear a sound, your bionics manipulates your vocal cords to reproduce the exact same sonic wave length."
"Okay, that's fair. So Chase gets to move stuff with his mind, and I'm a ventriloquist without a dummy." Bree said sarcastically.
"Look, I'm guessing you will develop a bank of voices and sounds that will come in handy on missions. But until then, do not use it. It's not a toy." Mr. Davenport told Bree sternly. After he was gone Bree grinned.
"Right. It's not a toy. And I'm AWESOME!" Bree spoke but this time it was Mr. Davenport's voice. Leo and I laughed
"You can do him too? This is incredible!" I exclaimed.
Then Leo pulled out his phone and started dialing. "Now say 'My name is Donald Davenport and I'd like to withdraw all m money from this bank.'" Bree looked at him and I shook my head.
Cassie's POV
Chase and I were walking down the stairs from 4th period only to see Adam slowly walking down the step, clinging to the railing.
"Adam, what are you doing?" Chase asked him.
"That accident was a wakeup call." He replied. "I never realized how unsafe the world is. Danger lurks in every corner and it uses the stairs to get there."
I sighed as Mrs. Thistle, my history teacher started to walk up the stairs, using the same railing as Adam. "Go around Thistle! I was here first!" Adam exclaimed. Mrs. Thistle looked surprised, but changed railings anyway. I shook my head but Chase was grinning.
"Wait…" Chase trailed off, smiling. "If you're suddenly so safety conscious, then I guess you won't be able to run after me if I do this."
Chase punched him in the shoulder, grabbed my hand, and then pulled me with him as he ran off. I heard him call from behind us. "Careful! Running down the stairs is dangerous! Lives are at stake here!"
Callie's POV
"Hey Bree!" Leo called as he jogged over to us. "Do you think you can use your vocal manipulation to help me out?" he asked.
"Leo, this really isn't the best place for her to be using her bionic." I shook my head.
"Are you crazy? This is the perfect place for her to test out her vocal manipulation. It's a hotbed of authority figures, hormonal changes, and people I need to get even with." Leo said as we walked out of the cafeteria. Bree was about to object but I nudged her and nodded to a couple of girls who were walking by.
"You know what? Fine," Bree hid behind Leo as she used her vocal manipulation. "Hi, I'm Leo Dooley and that horrible stench you're smelling is me. Can I have a hug." She then pushed Leo over to the two disgusted looking girls.
"That's not true. I take a bath every day," Leo told them then raised his arms. "Smell that? That's Hibiscus Waterfalls." The two looked at him weird then walked away.
"All Right!" Perry shouted as she walked out of her office. "Who put a raw chicken in my desk,"" she demanded than smirked. "Jokes on you. That old deli accident left immune to salmonella." I grimaced in disgust, and then a thought came to me.
"Bree," I nudged her. "You should imitate Principal Perry," Bree just gave me a look. I sighed. "No, you know what you're right; you're not even supposed to be using them in the first place. Just pass up this wonderful opportunity." I sighed again as I side glanced at her.
She huffed "okay fine, but this is the last time." She told me sternly. She hid her face in the water fountain as Perry began to speak.
"Attention students!" Perry shouted only to be cut off by Bree.
"I have an important announcement to make. I'm a leprechaun!" Bree announced in Principal Perry's voice.
"Hey! Who said that? It's not true! I only like to chase after rainbows." Principal Perry tried to defend herself.
"I also have six toes on one foot" Bree said in Perry's voice.
"It's not a toe. It's an overgrown bunion. And it gives me the balance of a low-lying gorilla." She said going into a gorilla stance. Everyone laughed and Perry's face turned stern. "I don't know who's doing this, but when I catch you. You're going to pay." Perry than stormed away.
"But not with me gold coins" Bree added as she walked away.

Cassie's POV
"Have you lost your mind?" Chase demanded as he Bree and Adam walked back into the lab after their mission.
"You're being ridiculous!" Bree exclaimed. It took me a moment to realize that they were yelling at Adam.
"No, I'm not!" Adam argued. Mr. D and I then walked over for an explanation o why they were arguing with Adam.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's going on?" Mr. D asked, walking over to them.
"Our mission mother here is so obsessed with safety that he almost jeopardized the entire operation." Bree explained.
"He wouldn't pitch in, he second guessed everything I said, and look what he did to our mission suits." Chase and Bree turned around to show us there blinking triangles.
"Aw, you poor thing." I fake frowned at Chase, pinching his cheek like he was a child.
"I'm serious Cassie." Chase said seriously.
"Oh, come on, was it seriously that bad." I said almost laughing.
"You don't know the half of it." Chase said with a sigh.
"If they wouldn't have rushed me, I would've given you matching safety hats." He said as he pulled out a safety cone and placed it on his head. Chase gestured to Adam as if to say I told you so.
"Okay, maybe you're right." I whispered.
"Adam, there is nothing wrong with being cautious." Mr. D told him. "But if you're too cautious, you'll over think things and you won't be able to complete your mission."
"Oh, so if I'm not careful, I could get hurt, but if I'm too careful, I'm useless." Adam said being in one of his rare serious moods. Mr. D nodded, not noticing his tone.
"Exactly." Adam stood up.
"Great. No matter what I do, I'm either hurting myself or the team." He said. Mr. D was about to object, but Adam didn't give him the chance. "I'm not going to be responsible for this. I'm not going on anymore missions."
"What?" we all asked confused.
"Adam, what are you saying?" Mr. D questioned.
"I'm saying I quit!" Adam then ripped off his mission suit and stormed out of the lab.
XXXXXX
A little later Chase and I were upstairs in my room. I was laid out on the bed doing my homework while Chase paced back and forth ranting about Adam.
"I can't believe Adam says he's quitting." Chase complained. "What a baby."
"He's not a baby chase. He's had his confidence destroyed." I argued.
"He'll get over it." Chase brushed it off. "in the mean time I'm loving this. For the first time I'm making him flinch!" Chase exclaimed then rolled up his sleeve. "Do you see this? Bruise free! I can finally wear shirtsleeve again."
I sighed as I put down my pencil and sat up at the edge of the bed. "Look, Chase, all Adam has ever known is he's the strong one. Now something's happened to make him believe otherwise. How would you feel if suddenly something happened to make you believe you weren't smart anymore?"
"But that's not going to happen." Chase denied, crossing his arms.
"I bet Adam thought the exact same thing up until yesterday." I countered. Chase still didn't change his mind. I sighed standing up. "All I'm saying is while he's all vulnerable and scared you should be helping him build his confidence back up, not tearing it down."
"But if I do that I'm just going to go back to being his personal punching bag." Chase argued. I took a step closer to Chase and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Or maybe now that knows what it's like to be picked on, he'll treat you better."
"Yeah, I don't know if you've noticed, but Adam isn't the best at learning…things." Chase retorted.
"Chase, please. I rarely ever use that word, but right now I am. Please, just talk to him"
"Okay, fine! I'll talk to him." Chase gave in.
"Good." I smiled, and then pecked his lips.

Callie's POV
"Okay so whoever decided to park their bike in my parking spot, I have news for you, you need a new bike. And you owe me four tires" Perry called out while I was talking with Bree and Leo. I paused mid sentence in horror.
"Not Jazzy." I whispered referring to my incredibly awesome, and incredibly expensive BMX bike.
"I'm going to imitate Perry again." Bree told me and Leo, grinning.
"Bad idea Bree, she looks really mad. With Perry you need to know when to draw the line." Leo warned.
"No. Do it. She ran over Jazzy." I crossed my arms.
"Seriously, Leo. I am loving this. I never knew bionics were so fun." Bree smiled.
"The last time she turned that red, the janitor had to take her down with a tranquilizer dart," Leo told her. Bree just looked at him. "And it took three shots."
"Somebody fess up. I don't have all day." Perry said as Bree hid behind the stairs.
"Because school ends now." Bree said in Perry's voice. Everyone cheered and left the building, leaving me, Leo, Bree, and Perry.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, School isn't over. Don't make me go home." Perry grimaced at the thought. Perry looked around and noticed Leo and I.
"Later" "Bye." We called at the same time and headed for the door.
"Stop it right there Dooley, Andrews." Perry said pointing at us.
"Keep moving Dooley, Andrews." Bree said in Perry's voice.
"Freeze Dooley, Andrews"
"Beat it Dooley, Andrews."
"Park it Dooley, Andrews"
"Are you not listening I thought I told you to…" Bree trailed off as Perry peaked over the railing at Bree. "Have a nice day" she finished in her own voice.
"So you're the little comedian?" Principal Perry asked, but Bree remained quiet. "I don't know how you're so good at imitating the chorus of Angels that is my voice. But, go ahead show me how you do it."
"Well, I'm not-" Bree said in Perry's voice then made a school bell sound. "Really sure-" Chases voice then an alarm sound. "What you want me to say-" Leos voice then a bird chirping. "At this extremely-" Adam's voice then a wolf howling. "Awkward-" Cassie's voice. "Moment." My voice then a buzzer noise.
"I don't know what that was but-" Perry started then randomly Cassie ran over out of breath.
"Hey, Perry!" she shouted as she came to a stop behind her.
"What do you want, Rapunzel!" Perry shouted. Cassie touched her blonde hair but didn't say anything.
"Well, I was just going to tell you that I saw your cats wandering the street, but if you don't care…" Cassie trailed off side glancing at Perry.
"Oh no, not my babies." She gasped then ran out the door.
"Oh, thank you Cassie. You are a life saver." Bree exclaimed.
"Her!" Leo shouted as we walked over. "I'm the one who texted her!"
"You too Leo. Thanks." Bree smiled.

Cassie's POV
I was sitting in the living room reading the book 'If I Stay' when Chase walked into the kitchen. I hoped up and walked over to him.
"How'd your talk with Adam go?" I asked. "Is he ready to get back on the horse?"
"I keep trying, but whenever I say the word horse, he runs out of the room because he's scared he's going to get kicked." I frowned in confusion.
"Alright, clearly logic is not going to work." I said after a moment. "So we're going to have to result to some good old fashioned trickery."
Chase nodded. "Let's put our heads together and come up with a way to outsmart Adam." He said. Half a second later, we looked at each other.
"Done."
"Hey, Mr. D!" I called waving him over. Mr. D walked over to us looking confused.
"What'd you do this time Cassie?" Mr. D asked with a sigh.
"No it's nothing like that… this time," I quickly added. "Chase and I think we found away to get Adam back in the game, but we need your help."
"Is there a chance this plan could go completely wrong?" Mr. D asked suspiciously.
"Yes" Chase and I said at the same time.
"Alright." Mr. D nodded and we headed for the lab.
XXXXXX
Chase, Mr. D and I got the plan all set up down in the lab. Chase was standing in his capsule, Mr. D was standing near it waiting for the signal and I was keeping watch for Adam.
"He's coming!"I hissed as I ran back over to the capsule. Mr. D and I ran to the front of the capsule and started to pretend it was locked as Adam walked in, reading a magazine. "Adam! Thank goodness you're here!" I cried. Adam looked up from his magazine.
"There's an emergency. The operating system in Chase's capsule in malfunctioning." Mr. D explained. Chase pretended to be out of air.
"Oh no." You know my plan was full proof, but the fact that Chase and Mr. D were terrible actors might have slipped my mind. "I'm trapped in my capsule! I can't get out. I sure hope I don't asphyxiate in here." Adam looked confused. "And stop breathing."
"Adam, you have to break open the door!" I shouted. Adam smirked and sat down
"Yeah, nice try guys. I know a prank when I see one. If this were real, Chase would be screaming and gasping for air, like when I use him to clean the toilet." Adam said seeing the error in my plan, or more like the error in Chase's acting skills.
"You know this would've gone perfectly fine if you weren't such a bad actor." I joked crossing my arms.
"I'm not that ba-" Chase started to protest but then the capsule went red and smoke filled it. "Mr. Davenport?" Chase asked as he started banging on the locked capsule door.
"Adam! You're foot turned on the heat sanitizer!" Mr. D exclaimed, noticing that Adam had put his feet up on the consol. "That thing gets up to 200 hundred degrees!"
"I really can't breathe! Get me out!" Chase gasped for breath and pushed on the door as Mr. D and I pulled on the door.
"It's stuck! Adam bust down the door!" Mr. D exclaimed.
"Oh, bravo, your acting is much better this time" Adam clapped still thinking we were acting. Slowly Chase started to slide down the side of the capsule.
"Adam do something!" I shouted still pulling on the door.
"Wait a minute Chase really is in trouble," Adam said coming to the realization. "Why didn't you say something?" Adam shouted.
"We did!" Mr. D and I shouted.
"Don't worry Chasey, I'm coming for ya!" Adam exclaimed right before he punched the capsule, breaking it open. He pulled Chase out the dropped him on the lab floor. I didn't have time to scold Adam about that as I ran over to Chase's side.
"Are you okay?" I asked. When he nodded his response I helped him up and onto the stool.
"Wait, so you three set this whole thing and Chase almost turned into a smore?" Adam demanded. I looked at him. "Yeah, and I'm the dumb one."
"Adam, you just used your super strength to shatter an unbreakable capsule and fear never entered your mind." Chase told him. I nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I wasn't thinking about getting hurt. I wasn't thinking at all." Adam said smiling.
"Adam, all this time you've been living in fear, and when you didn't have time to think, you just got the job done." Mr. D told him. Adam grinned.
"Wow! That's it! From now on, I just need to spend my whole life not thinking!"
Chase, Mr. D and I exchanged looks. "Absolutely." We agreed. Chase stood up.
"So, you're back on missions?" He asked hopefully. Adam nodded.
"I guess I am! Whoo-hoo!" He cheered.
"I'm glad that worked out." Mr. D said. "And I think you've both learned a valuable lesson today. No more horse play." He looked at Chase and Adam sternly.
"Got it." They agreed.
"That was not part of my plan." I muttered shoving Chase lightly.
"Which part, Adam turning on the heat sanitizer, or me almost suffocating?" Chase mused wrapping me into a hug.
"Neither." I mumbled laying my head on his chest.

A few days later Adam, Bree, and I were sitting down in the lab and Adam was trying to recreate Chase's trap.
"Adam, I don't think you're doing that right." Bree commented after I showed her that I had the remote.
'Bree, trust me, it'll work." Adam assured her. The lab doors open and Adam hid in the corner as Leo, Callie, and Chase walked in.
"Trap" Leo said boredly as he stepped over it. Chase looked at the trap on the floor and walked around it over to me.
"What?" Callie asked confused stepping over the trap.
"Wait," Adam stepped out and into the trap. "Trap what." I clicked the button and the rope tightened around Adam's ankle and pulled him into the air and upside down.
"I told you, you weren't doing it right," Bree repeated standing up. "Cassie's got the remote." Bree said pointing over to me. I waved the remote in his face as I walked over to him.
"I can just use my beat vision to break free." Adam pointed out and went ot go do it. We all ran forward ready to catch Adam to stop the disaster from happening again.
