CHAPTER 12 GUYS! Thanks so much for sticking with me this long, I love you all((:

I realize Chase's reaction may have been a let down, but it carries on to this chapter here. Some people are delayed in their reactions! It's not so much a voiced reaction as it is a 'ah ah ah, what is happening, what is wrong with my life?' reaction.

PurpleNicole531- Ahhhh, I know! I didn't plan on throwing that in, then I was like, why not! Suspense, mystery, pain-staking confusion! Thanks so much for your constant reviews! You never stop and I don't wish you too(((:

DirtKid123- SURPRISE! Hehe, I didn't intend to do it, but when an idea like that comes to you, you've got to go with it. Thank youuuu!

tvd1992- Here is the update! Thank youuuu!

OMIGOODNESS, another new follower. This is unbelievable! I honestly haven't expected to be able to greet at least one for so many chapters in a row!

"Hello, Olivia."

Olivia pouted, hands clasped behind her back as she strut into the dungeon's cell. "Oh, Chasey," she sighed, leaning close to his face. "Is that any way to greet your wife."

"I don't know who you are, but you're not the woman I married," Chase growled, trying to adjust his body from dangling limp and sore from the wall. His shoulder muscles were tense and overworked while his wrists and ankles were chained.

"Do you remember what you use to call me?" Olivia paced the small area, thoughtful and ignoring the rude retort.

Chase winced in pain, sweat beads dripping in slow motion down his forehead and falling on the straw-covered stone floor. "Of course."

"My Liv," she mused, laughing like a chiming bell. It was a beautiful sound, at least it use to be. "My darling Liv."

"That was before-"

"Before I supposedly changed my alliance?" she finished, lifting an eyebrow, under which appeared to be pained eyes.

Chase glared in response, not believing her hurt act for a second.

"That is where you're wrong, Chasey," she whispered, bending down to give him a sip of the water that was always teasingly sitting in front of him. "My stance has never changed." She kissed him on the cheek. "I've always been on your side." She moved her lips to his, feeling her husband pull away, but she merely followed. After a minute, she stopped to catch her breath, gazing into those big brown eyes she loved so much. All Olivia saw in return was hate and disgust.

"You betrayed us, you betrayed me," Chase spat. "You betrayed Alexa." He had taken it too far, it seemed, for Olivia straightened and got up. Her mouth clenched, but her eyes dropped. She was a mix between fury and remorse. In a moment of weakness, her eyes trailed to the blurry screen – the past Chase-cam – and watched as her daugher walked along, on a clear mission and showing it in the way she fast walked.

"I don't know what is going on in that stupid, handsome head of yours, but I warn you you are on the losing side," Olivia murmured dangerously low. "Give in or die. Give in or all those who you hold dear die." The last words, no matter how much Chase didn't recognize his wife, were not Liv's. They were told to her, drummed into her brain until that was her thinking process.

"Olivia," the name was strange to say now, which hurt Chase more than the cuffs rubbing at his wrist bone.

She shook her head, turning on her heels and slamming the cell door shut behind her. Chase jerked at the loud noise, eyes tightly closed and parched lips pressing against each other until blood was drawn.

"Okay," Lexi mumbled, head tilted upwards at the hospital sign. The big 'H' hung over her like a dreadful shadow. Her mother had to be here, dead or alive. The future girl just didn't want the unknown to be known if it was going to tear down her entire world – literal and metaphorical.

Leo and Leo were the first to move towards the entrance, the older one coaxing Alexa with a gentle hand. Chase, however, was still frozen the farther they got.

"Chase?" Leo questioned, glancing behind his back at his step-brother. Chase didn't budge, or even acknowledge his name being called. Leo peered over at future him, giving him a 'I knew it' look. The third bionic may have played it somewhat cool back on the island, but his panic was starting to show through finally. A mission-oriented mind could only snuff out the facts for so long, until they caught up to you. Chase was wide-eyed and fully caught up to exactly what had been said out loud by him and Lexi back at the academy. He had a daughter and she was right there, he was married and she was inside, and now he couldn't breath.

No. His lungs were still working, everything was in order, it just took a lot to force the air through his nose and out his mouth. When he did it sounded more like a hyperventilation than actual breathing. Older Leo walked back to his younger past brother, clapping his hands over Chase's shoulders. "It's okay, man," Future Leo promised, only half with it as the other part of him worried over his niece. They didn't have time to calm Chase down.

Glancing at Alexa, Older Leo noticed the fright suddenly erupting in her eyes, as she clasped at her second disappearing ear. "What?" he raised in question, dragging Chase by the arm over to Lexi and his younger self. Alexa furrowed her eyebrows, concentrating on her uncle for a second, before shaking her head and biting her lip.

"I can't hear you!" she yelled, obviously not knowing how loud her voice range was. The future Leo caught sight of Lexi's ear, or where it should have been, when she lowered her hand to speak. It was completely gone, leaving a deaf girl behind to suffer through her final hours.

"Your ear!" he screeched.

"What?" the future girl's tone went even higher.

"Stop yelling!" the younger Leo complained, forgetting that she couldn't hear him and that he wasn't in her line of sight.

"Come on," Older Leo murmured determinedly, continuing to pull Chase along by the sleeve. The third bionic didn't oppose to it, just followed stiffly. The others ran forward, watching the strides of Future Leo increase as they stepped over the threshold of the hospital.

The small group made their way to the front desk, where a nurse stood behind it in greeting.

"Hello, could you tell us which room an Olivia Davenpo-!" Alexa said, unknowingly bellowing, but cutting herself off before she finished. Her mother was not yet married. This was the past. Olivia had no bionics, hadn't met Chase, and didn't know she had a future daughter. It was hard to dechipher between past and future, or her father's present and her present in other words. Searching her endless folders of information in her bionic brain, the girl tried to remember her mother's maiden name.

"Olivia Brendan," Tall Leo finished for his niece, tapping her on the shoulder to let her know it was taken care of and to not say anything else. She had already disturbed everyone in the room with her loud voice.

"I'm sorry, and you are?" the nurse inquired.

"Family," Future Leo stated at the same time Past Leo murmured, "Friends."

The nurse looked at them suspiciously, fingers tapping on the phone next to her. "Aren't you two brothers?" she asked, noticing the uncanny resemblance between the Leo's.

"No," Leo said, as Older Leo quickly tried a, "Yes."

The desk nurse frowned, "Visiting hours are almost over, and her parents are in with her now. Come back another day." She brushed the four aside then, in all truthfulness, not wanting them to come back at all.

Alexa focused hard to read the nurse's lips, catching snippets of what she had said. "Another day?!" she screamed, having caught that at the very least. Attention was brought to her again, everyone in the area staring at her in confusion and surprise. "We need to see Olivia now!" Her voice vibrated in her throat, so Lexi was able to figure how loud she was being this time, and shut her mouth consciously. She glanced around the room with reddened cheeks.

The nurse didn't move, but instead returned to her work in hopes these strange teens – with one weird adult – would be on their way.

Three of the four of them didn't turn to leave, but Chase did try to squirm out of Future Leo's grip, which was very strong, even for the teen being held with his non-bionic arm.

Peering around, the Leo's saw the nosy people that had been looking at them went back to what they were doing prior, the hallway to the rooms clear. No one paid the four intruders any mind now, so they broke away, quietly running down the hospital's patient hallway.

Alexa and Future Leo peeked in the window of each room, groaning when a curtain was blocking their sight or the patient's weren't who they were looking for. Leo was put in charge of making sure Chase kept up, which meant a lot of pulling and pushing and encouraging talk.

Lexi's nose squashed up against a window nearly all the way down the hall, her eyes squinting to see the occupants. There were four beds, all accident victims it seemed. At the end of the room, on the left side, was a man and woman hovering over an unconscious young teen. Alexa recognized the two immediately, though their features were younger and their attire was very plain and different. She twisted around, finger lightly tapping the glass as she tried to get her older uncle's attention. If she talked, she'd alert everyone with her uncontrolled voice range.

When Chase and Leo saw the exciteable way Lexi was bouncing, her eyes wide and mouth raising upwards in an elated smile, they ran over – Chase, of course, being dragged.

"What is it, Lassie?" Leo asked, bending is knees and sticking his face closer to hers. Alexa cocked her head, not having picked up on the movements his mouth had made, unable to tell what he said.

Instead, she just mouthed, "My grandparents. My mom," and pressed her pointer finger against the glass again. When the couple inside glanced her way, she ducked down quickly, wincing. She wouldn't have been capable of hearing them move towards the door, but her father and uncle didn't seem worried after a few seconds, so she popped her head back up to the window.

Older Leo discovered them staring, and walked over to see. "That's your wife, Chase," he smiled, seeing Olivia sleeping on the hospital bed in the corner. Chase licked his lips nervously, reluctant to look and see what it was about her that made future him compelled to marry her. He never thought his future held a marriage and a daughter before. He wanted to go into outer space and become president, retire from office and win scientific awards, but it seemed his dreams changed or at the very least were altered a little.

After the others glanced at him expectantly, he caved and took a peek. The girl was crowded by her anxious mother and father, but she was still visible for him to observe. Olivia was beautiful. Her face may have been scarred and bruised, and her hair may have been knotted, but it was clear to Chase the initial attraction about her. Golden blonde locks framed her rounded cheeks, which were freckled like a poppy field. Her eyes were closed, but the bionic was sure they were just as gorgeous as the rest of her.

Lexi read him like a mind reader, poking at him to turn his attention towards her. She smiled at Chase, directing her finger to her eyes than touching the hospital wall, which was a washed out green color.

"Her eyes are green?" Chase guessed, intent at studying his daughter for a moment.

Alexa seemed to understand what he said, and she nodded in satisfaction. Her brown hair fell over her eyes because of lack of ears, and Chase copied the smile on Lexi's face. She was so pretty. He knew he had a connection with her somehow before, just nothing so strange as her being his future daughter.

Rustling came from inside, and Chase glanced up to see Olivia's parents slowly going to the door to leave. "Freeze!" he hissed/whispered at Lexi, only feeling the need to warn her because of her current deafness. They all stopped, whatever position they were in, they froze in. For Future Leo, it was his mouth wide open in preparation to speak.

Mr and Mrs. Brendan passed the door frame, keeping the door slightly ajar as they left their injured daughter alone for a few minutes of downtime.

"And that's our invitation to go in," Leo beamed, being the first to dash into the hospital room. Four sleeping bodies lay in all four beds, and from what the others could guess, they were four of the many victims of the tunnel cave-in.

Alexa approached the weak frame of her mother, eyes straining down on her, alone in her now mute world as she watched the relieving rise and fall of life.

Chase hung back for a moment of hesitation, watching the two Leo's get closer to his supposed future girlfriend/fiance/wife. This was not real. Nobody ever had experiences like this. Yet surreal was different than not real, and Chase realized that the former was what was happening. His life had always been a bit more complicated and messed up than most, given his leading an unusal lifestyle on any given day.

He shuffled his feet, which felt a little glued down. When he reached Olivia's bedside, Chase's vision went hazy, a scene flashed through his mind unexpectedly. It was of him and this blonde girl ... Chase was leading her by the hand, away from a reckage. She smiled, awestruck, and stared at him with wide green eyes. He blushed, noticing her dreamy look, and scratched the back of his head.

"Thank you," the Olivia from his mind spoke, voice breathtaking to both Chase's. Caught up in the moment, Liv pecked him on the cheek, Chase and her simutaneously gasping. But neither said anything, instead they looked at each other, before both leaning in and pressing their lips to the other's. Chase felt how that had felt for him, felt his usual self melt away, before returning to the present reality.

He frowned, eyes diverting from everyone in the room. That strange daydream seemed so vivid, like a memory, but he knew for certain that never happened to him – with her or any girl for that matter. Yet, Olivia was like a pretty face branded forever in his mind from a previous meeting; a face no one could forget.

"I know her ..." the third bionic spoke.

Older Leo nodded. "In an alternate reality to this one, you do." Chase sighed meekly, sounding drained and very confused, but in a way he also seemed interested in this Olivia. She was intriguing.

Then, Liv awoke, eyes snapping open as she heard voices she didn't know. Upon seeing the four hovering strangers, she let out a paralyzing scream, alerting the security guards and nurses down the hall, along with her alarmed parents. All three groups charged into the hospital room, and a scuffle ensued, ending with two Leo's, Chase, and a vanishing Lexi being thrown out of the hospital rather rudely by a few guards on duty.

"Great," Leo mumbled. He scrunched his nose as he looked back into the building. "What do we do now?"

"We get Olivia released from the hospital and get Chasey here ready for their first date," Future Leo smiled wryly, confusing the others. How in the past and future were they suppose to do that discreetly?

How are they going to release Olivia? Why is she following this evil man in the future? Is the old her still in there somewhere? How are Adam, Bree, and Douglas doing on their mission? FIND OUT MAYBE IN CHAPTER 13, BUT MAYBE NOT!
