Chapter 8.

Chase's POV.

A few weeks after the accident, I was back to normal...or so I thought. I was watching TV in the living room when Douglas came up there.

"Hey Douglas." I said with most of my focus on the TV screen.

"Chase. I need to talk to you, in the lab." Douglas said with a straight face.

"Why can't we talk about it up here?" I asked.

"It's just better if we talk about it downstairs." Douglas said.

"Ok." I said, turning off the TV and following Douglas to the lab.

When we got down there, I saw Douglas pick up a small remote.

"Douglas, don't even think about using that creepy Triton app on me." I dangerously warned.

"This is not the Triton app." He said clicking the button. Then we went to another side of the room. "Pick up that container." Referring to a yellow barrel shaped thing in the room.

"No way. I'm gonna get crushed by that thing. Only Adam can pick that up." I insisted.

"Just do it!" Douglas yelled.

I wrapped my arms around it and expected it to be heavy, then it almost flew in the air when I picked it up. I put it down and looked at Douglas in pure terror.

"What did you do to me?!" I yelled.

"I wanted you to be safe from Derek, so when I made your new chip, I put in strength and speed that I was originally gonna give you, then you turned me into a ice cube. But it is all controlled by this, so nothing happens like with Leo. Just the strength and speed and those abilities, your original abilities you have complete control of." Douglas explained.

"Please tell me that there is no Triton app." I said.

"I've changed Chase. I'm not gonna try and control you." Douglas explained.

"I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that I'm not supposed to tell Adam or Bree about my new abilities." I said.

"Yeah. Probably best, maybe not Leo either. That kid can't keep his mouth shut." Douglas said.

I nodded in agreement with that.

"Let's try out your speed." Douglas said.

I started running and it felt awesome! I know why Bree did this all the time. I went all the way to Canada and back and I stopped in front of Douglas.

"Nice! 20 seconds!" Douglas exclaimed in amazement.

"What should I try out now?" I asked.

He was about to answer when we heard someone coming downstairs.

"We'll try out more abilities later." Douglas whispered turning off my new abilities as I saw Adam, Bree, Leo and Mr. Davenport come downstairs.

"We've got a mission, get suited up." Mr. Davenport said.

Adam, Bree and I got in our capsules and our clothes were replaced by our mission suits. We walked out and they grabbed their bags.

"There is a huge gas leak in Detroit, I need you three to stop it." Mr. Davenport explained.

I watched as Adam and Bree turned around and Leo, Douglas and Mr. Davenport left the room. I picked up the remote for my chip and turned them on. Then I decided to put it in my bag so Douglas couldn't deactivate them again. Then Mr. Davenport, Leo and Douglas came back. Adam and I grabbed onto Bree's arms and she sped us to the site, even though I was faster. We saw the gas leak getting bigger and bigger.

"Bree, start taking readings, Adam, go over there. I'll let you know if I need any help." I commanded.

I started looking at the controls and I started to turn on the fans so that they would stay contained until Bree was done getting the readings. Then I heard a piece of ceiling start to break, above Adam's head. I looked up and saw it ready to fall on his head.

"Adam look out!" I yelled as I punched the piece of ceiling into little bits with my super strength.

"Did you just?" Adam asked.

"What did you do?!" Bree yelled.

"It's a long story. Adam, I'll use my force field to stabilize the pipe. You use your heat vision to seal it." I said.

"If you have strength now, then you should have strength now, so you do it." Adam pointed out.

"Would you just do it?!" I yelled.

"Fine." Adam groaned.

I turned on my force field and Adam sealed it up.

"Good job." I said.

"Let's get home." Bree said.

I tried to grab onto Bree, but then she shook me off.

"Would you take me home please?" I asked.

"Don't you have your own super speed?" Bree asked.

I ran straight to the lab and was met with the angry faces of Mr. Davenport and Douglas. Douglas grabbed the remote out of my bag.

"I thought you could be responsible!" Douglas yelled.

"If you had that kinda power, you would be using it all of the time!" I yelled back.

"No, I wouldn't! Because I am a adult!" Douglas yelled.

"Your grounded Chase. Three weeks." Mr. Davenport said.

"Three weeks?!" I yelled.

Then Adam and Bree sped in there.

"Adam, Bree, Leo. Go upstairs. Douglas and I need to talk to Chase alone." Mr. Davenport said.

Adam, Bree and Leo left the room quietly.

"I told you he couldn't be responsible with his new abilities." Mr. Davenport whispered to Douglas.

"Fine. Go get the chip extractor." Douglas said.

"You guys are taking out my chip?!" I yelled as Mr. Davenport left the room.

"I'm gonna see if I can find a way to take off the new abilities, or something along those lines. Besides you're grounded, and I don't think Donnie wants you to use your bionics while your grounded." Douglas explained.

Mr. Davenport came back with the chip extractor and he put it on the back of my neck. I felt the chip leave my neck and then I saw it on the chip extractor. Great.

No one's POV.

Derek watched as Chase's chip was taken away from him. Now the kid had no defense against him. This was gonna be easier then he thought.

Chase is now defenseless against Derek! Will Derek get to him? Will Adam and Bree protect him? Or are Adam and Bree mad that Chase can now replace them?
