I only own my OC's

Normal POV, Ryan's Home

"I can't believe she's waking up, usually that doesn't even work." Ryan stated.

"Well she's waking up, so obviously it did." Phineas replied optimistically.

As Katie opened her eyes, she saw Phineas. As she tried to get up, she asked, "Phineas? Where are we? What happened? Ouch!" She said quietly, due to the pain.

"Take it easy there Katie, don't move too quickly; you need to let that wound heal some more." Phineas stated as he helped her into a sitting position.

"Hey, I was supposed to say that." Ryan joked.

She looked at Ryan and asked, with a touch of hostility, "Who are you?"

"Nice to meet you too, my name is Ryan. You're in my house, safe and sound. Phineas watch over her; I'm going to go get my mom." Ryan replied as he headed up the stairs.

When Ryan was out of earshot Katie asked Phineas, "Can we trust him?"

"Considering how he and his mother, Margret, are risking their lives to help us, and that the bots haven't broken in yet, I think so. Katie, they're really nice people and have helped us so much, try not to be hostile towards them." Phineas replied.

"You have to be ready for anything and everything Phineas, we can't trust too easily." Katie stated.

"But we can't treat everyone as an enemy; these people are risking their lives to help us. The least we can do is not act hostile towards them." Phineas stated, again.

Katie sighed, knowing he was right. She then asked, "So, how long have I been out?"

"About three days. I just woke up yesterday." Phineas replied.

"THREE DAYS! I've been out for three days?" Katie exclaimed, she then calmed down and asked, "What happened, last thing I remember was getting hit as we were running."

"I tried to rescue you, and then I got hit too. I told Isabella and Adyson to run before they were captured or killed. One of the Normbots was about to kill us in the street when Ryan shot it. Margret, Ryan's mother, and his sister carried us inside. Before you ask, I'm not sure if Isabella and Adyson got away."

"If you're questioning whether or not they're alive, you obviously don't know them very well. A bunch of bots aren't going to stop them." Katie replied as Ryan and Margret returned to the room.

Ryan went to the desk and retrieved bandages and medicine, while Margret went over to Katie and said, "Hello Katie, It's good to see that you're awake, I was starting to worry. How are you feeling?"

"I've felt better, though my side hurts." Katie replied.

"Let's take a look at that wound and change those bandages then." Margret said, as she looked towards Phineas and continued, "Same with you Phineas, back to your bed." Ryan walked towards Phineas and helped him up and over to his bed. As Margret and Ryan started changing their bandages there was a loud bang, followed by the house shaking a little. Everyone knew that the resistance was still hard at work.

Normal POV, Normbot Charging Station

Isabella, Buford, Adyson and Ginger were running from the charging station; which now laid in smoldering ruins. They had ten Normbots following them. As the team ran through the streets, they broke the Normbots' sight of them, and quickly hid behind some dumpsters in an alleyway. They heard the Normbots as they passed by. When the sound faded, Adyson carefully peeked out into the street and saw that they lost them.

"They're gone." Adyson said as she looked towards the team.

"Those things are so stupid; no wonder we can get away so easily." Buford commented.

Isabella and Adyson both glared at him, as he realized what he said.

"I didn't mean to-," Buford started.

Isabella took a step forward poking a finger to his chest stating, "You better watch your mouth Buford, or next time I'll kick your teeth in."

She then turned around and continued as she began to walk "Come on, let's get back to base." Buford hung his head at his comment; Adyson shook her head as she followed Isabella.

Ginger put a hand on his shoulder and said, "You didn't mean it Buford, though you have to watch what you say. Isabella and Adyson are taking their deaths pretty hard." She then began following Adyson. Buford sighed as he took up the rear; at a respectful distance.

The team arrived back at base and went to the main room for debriefing. As they entered the room they heard Candace state, "Congratulations, on a job well done guys. With the destruction of that recharging station, the Normbots have been crippled once again."

"Not everything is good news si,r we may have a new problem." Isabella stated.

"What kind of problem?" Candace questioned.

"Ginger." Isabella called.

Ginger took out the camera and handed it Baljeet, who uploaded the photos and put them on the screen.

"This man exiting the station as we were scouting it, we're not sure what makes him special." Isabella explained.

Candace crossed her arms as she examined the photos of the strange man; one of the two bodyguards; another of the Normbot saluting the man. The last one of the car and the Normbots escorting it.

"Looks like Doof has lost faith in his Normbots and started to recruit people, we'll have to proceed with caution for our next operation. Until then, get some rest." Candace stated as she saluted the team.

The team saluted back, but as they dispersed Isabella glared at Buford; who glared back. Candace noticed and questioned, "What else happened on the mission?"

"Buford made a stupid comment, that's all." Adyson replied.

"Right, I guess that comment gives Isabella the right to threaten me." Buford stated with anger evident in his voice.

"When you say something that disrespects my friends and fallen fighters, you bet your ass I'll threaten you." Isabella stated glaring at him.

"Let's not fight guys." Ginger said.

"Right, like she could take me in a fight." Buford stated.

"Let's go, right now then." Isabella stated, cracking her knuckles.

"Bring it on." Buford said as he taunted her with his hands.

"ENOUGH!" Candace exclaimed as she slammed her fist against the table before continuing, "I know that Phineas and Katie's deaths are still fresh on our minds. Buford you made a stupid comment without thinking; Isabella you can't let your anger affect your actions. May I remind you all, we are fighting Doofenshmirtz; not each other. I don't want a fight to break out between you two, so drop it, understood?"

"Yes-," Buford said.

"Sir," Isabella finished before going their separate ways. Ginger and Adyson followed Isabella trying to calm her down, while Buford just walked towards a random part of the base to cool off.

Candace sighed as she pinched her nose.

"I think it might be wise to get some sleep, you have been pushing yourself, trying to plan all these raids and dealing with the deaths of Phineas and Katie." Baljeet pointed out.

"I'll sleep when Doofenshmirtz is back in prison." Candace replied.

"Sir, take a moment to rest, everything will still be here when you wake up tomorrow." Baljeet stated.

"Except for Phineas and Katie." Candace replied as she covered her face with her hands.
