~ Vales' Lab ~

Dina appeared with an unconscious Chase in her arms. She didn't notice a tennis ball fall to the ground and roll under a nearby desk.

Vales rushed to them and helped Dina move him a gurney, "What happened?"

Dina's face was flushed and teary, "What did you do to him?" she asked, "he started flinching in pain as soon as Adam and Bree showed up and completely passed out when Davenport showed up."

"I put a blocking program onto his chip that would activate when he began to remember, it just slightly overloaded him," Vales said.

"Is he going to be ok?"

"He should be, I just have to adjust the settings on his chip and do a quick wipe to make sure none of his memories try to surface again." Vales explained. She was concerned about Dina's reaction to the situation, she hadn't grown to feel for Chase, had she? She shook the thought, Dina having feelings for him made her laugh, and vice versa, her daughter wasn't the brightest in the bunch.

She wheeled the molecular synapse modifier into position and flipped it on. "Did you at least get what I asked for?"

Dina wiped tears from her cheeks and removed her pack, she unzipped it and passed the cube to her mother, "What is it?" she asked.

Vales marveled at it, "This, my dear, is something that will change everything."

~ The Lab ~

After just barely escaping the explosion, Davenport, Douglas, Adam, and Bree had returned to the lab. They sat in silence as they took in what had just happened.

After what seemed like an eternity, Bree spoke, "What were they doing in your storage facility, and why didn't Chase recognize us?"

"They were obviously there for a reason, but I have no idea what since they blew the place up, and Emily must have done something to his chip…" Davenport said.

"Can you fix him?" Adam asked.

"Not remotely, he has to be HERE in order for me to do anything."

"But he's not here," Adam said.

"And we have no idea where he is…" Bree added.

"Wait…" Davenport thought aloud, "I threw that tracker at them before Dina's geo leap." He jumped up and made his way to the computer.

"Yeah… about that," Bree said.

"What?" Davenport asked as he keyed in the tracking information.

"How is she bionic?" she asked.

Davenport stopped typing.

"Oh yeah, I thought we were the only bionic super humans," Adam said.

Douglas craned his head to hear what Donald would say.

"She's bionic because…" Davenport looked to Douglas for support.

Douglas rolled his eyes, "She's bionic because… she was made by the same person that helped make you guys…" he said.

"Soo… you made her?" Bree asked.

"Not exactly…" Douglas said, he thought for a moment, "you see, I only HELPED make you guys… I am your father… but the person I helped was… Emily Vales… she's your mother." He sighed and ran his hand through his hair.

"Woah, we have a mom?" Adam asked, "Sweet!"

"No Adam," Bree said, "They lied to us… again."

"Oh…" Adam furled his brow, "Well that's not cool."

"Look, I didn't even know she existed until I found the picture… Douglas is the one that lied to you," Davenport pointed an accusing finger.

"But… you're the one that said not to tell them when you found out!" Douglas retorted.

"GUYS!" Bree yelled, "This is no time to be arguing, you BOTH lied to us… but right now we need to get to Chase."

The brothers continued to make snide faces at each other. Davenport finished putting in the information and turned on the GPS, but nothing happened.

"Well where is he?" Adam asked.

"Something's wrong…" Davenport said, trying again, "It was working when I tested it earlier."

"I bet she's jamming the signal," Douglas said.

Everyone looked at him, curious as to how he might know.

He shrugged, "That's what I'd do if I didn't want to be found."

"Well, might you know how to by pass the jam?" Davenport asked.

Douglas scoffed, "Do I know? Of course I know, it'll just take a little time." He pushed Davenport out of the way and set to work.

~ Vales' Lab ~

Chase woke with a start and flinched, his head was killing him. He got off the bed and realized it wasn't just his head, his muscles felt like jelly, it was difficult for him to keep his balance, he had to use the bed to keep himself up.

Dina entered the room with a tray of food, she hastily sat it on the desk and moved to help him.

"Are you ok?" She asked.

"What happened?" He asked her.

"What do you remember?"

He thought for a moment, "The last thing I remember is being in the storage facility with you… after that everything is hazy."

"Well, we were ambushed by the evil bionic soldiers, they tried to get you to go back with them, you got really confused then feinted, I just barely fought them off and got us both out." She said it in one breath as if she had rehearsed it in the mirror before hand.

Chase raised an eye brow, Dina felt a knot form in her stomach, she was sure he wouldn't believe her.

"Did you get hurt?" he asked. He knew she was capable of fighting off an army without getting a scratch, but he was still concerned about her.

Dina blushed, "No, they never even touched me," she was glad that she didn't lie about that, though it wasn't the whole truth.

"Good… meanwhile I feel like a whale did a belly flop on me."

She couldn't help but smile at what that would look like, "Vales said that your chip overloaded when they remotely tried to hack it and turn you back to their side…" She wanted to change the subject so she reached for the tray, "Are you hungry?"

"Starving," he said, the plate had a chicken leg, a roll, and a dollop of mashed potatoes on it, he ate every bit of it.

Vales took the cube containing the blue sphere into a part of the lab she marked "Off Limits". She had all her inventions here, such as an anti-gravity gun and a short-range teleporter, but sitting right in the center of the room was what looked like a simple, large ring standing up. She placed the cube on a table with plenty of light so she could examine it.

She had been in the lab when Donald and Douglas had created it all those years ago, a single ball of contained nuclear infused solar energy, good for a single use, but from what she could tell it was still just a prototype. Before she could use it, she had to be sure it would be a sufficient amount of energy, she hooked up a few wires to it, the readings disappointed her, if she was going to use it, it needed to be much more powerful.

Sighing, she set to work figuring out what she could use to feed it more power.

A/N: Felt like that was a good place to end the chapter, we're reaching the climax and I hope it comes out on paper as awesome as I imagine it in my head.
