Sorry it's been so long. Did you see that part in Sink or Swim when Chase got hit by one of Adams lasers? *wink wink*

Thank you for all the lovely reviews! And thanks to MoonlitShadowsoftheHUmanSoul for helping me figure out how to fix my chapter because my Doc Manager was all goofed up. Chapter 3!

Adam POV

Right after Chase collapsed, I knew this was bad.

"Chase!" My feet crunching over the bits of blacken toast littering the floor, I knelt by Chases side. His eyes were closed, and his face had gone a sickly pale. Putting my hand up to his forehead, I gingerly touch his skin. Burning. I debate if I should call Davenport or not. On one hand, he would be furious for the fact that I ignored his warning of not using by heat vision, and also probably really mad about all the toast spewn all over his precious lab. But on the other hand, I don't know what's happened to Chase, and I don't want him to get hurt... well, more hurt.

Carefully, I raise Chases head and lower it onto my lap. I place my hand onto his small chest; he's breathing, but his breaths are short and shallow. I don't want to think of any potential damage my newly-charged lasers could have caused him. Much less the damage Davenport will do to me after he finds out I used my little brothers head as target practice. I glance down at the small body in my arms. Chases eyes are still closed, his face is still pale, his skin in still cold, in other words, no movement whatsoever. I give him a small shake.

"Hey," I slap Chases cheek a little. "Chase. Wake up. I need to know you're okay, buddy."

Chases head still lies limp in my hands. He still looks hurt, almost dead, and that is definetly be something to concerned about.I let Chase fall to the floor, hearing a dull thunk when him head hit the ground. I bury my face in my hand, peeking out between my fingers at my little brother, motionless, on the cold metal floor. Thoughts swarm in my mind like angry bees, mellowing the sounds around me. A high pitched, girlish yelp startles me from my thinking, making the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.

"Adam,- Chase, wha... what is going on here?" I advert my eyes from Chase to Leo, his face showing worry and bafflement. His dark brown eyes flit from me to Chase, back and forth, as though staring at the two of our faces would somehow solve the mystery of why there is toast all over the lab and why his slightly older brother is lying unconscious on the floor, me by his side.

"Adam?" Leo questions again. I sigh, getting back on my feet. I guess telling the truth is the best and only option I've got. I hope I just don't sound too crazy.

"Well, it all started this morning, when I was the Toastmaster- you know, using my heat vision to turn bread into toast-," I add, in case he was wondering, "When my lasers started to lose power. After talking with Davenport about it, he recalibrated my chip for some sciencey reasons, and that would make my heat vision extra powerful for a few hours, because it would be dangerous. But after he left-"

"Let me guess." Leo cuts in. "You continued, Chase came down, you accidentally hit Chase with a laser and now he's possibly dead, on the floor." I nod.

"Pretty much, yeah." Leo rolls his eyes, but concern masks his face.

" We need to tell Big D." He starts to make his way into the elevator, but I grab his arm, spinning his around.

"Are you kidding me? Davenport would skin me alive if I hurt Chase. Hello, older brother here!" Leo just crosses his arms and gives me a look.

" We don't know what happened to Chase when you hit him, injuries could be minor, injuries could be major. Whatever the case, Big D needs to know. And he needs to know now."

"I hit my little brother in the head with an ability that I was told not to use, do you really think I'm eager to tell Davenport that his favorite child got hurt because I was messing around?"

Leo seems to consider this, then glances down at Chase, slowly nodding.

"Alright. Big D won't know about this. Now, start cleaning up the lab. I'll check out Chase. But if we get in trouble for this," he adds, "this is all on you."

Now Leo knows! Sorry the ending kind of sucked, I didn't know how to end it. And sorry about the wait, I had really bad writers block. Until next time, keep leaving your wonderful reviews, ideas, suggestions, and hopes for this story, as always! Bye!
