I DO NOT OWN LAB RATS.

Surgeries and Promises

Previously on Lab Rats…

Leo nodded and Donald jumped up for joy. Donald felt a sharp pain in his stomach again and doubled over. "Big D? You all right?"

"No. I had a stomachache all day."

"All right." Leo let Donald put his head on his shoulder and he gripped Donald's side to support him. "I'll just take you upstairs and lie you on the couch and–"

"No, I want my bed."

Leo rolled his eyes. "Fine. I'll take you to your bed."

While they were heading to the elevator, Donald doubled over again. "Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!"

"Big D?!"

He fell while saying, "Ow!" He curled into a ball holding his stomach.

"Big D!" Leo knelt down by him. "I'm gonna get Mom!" He ran to the elevator and yelled up the shaft. "MOOOM!"

Tasha was walking to the kitchen when she heard Leo calling her. The elevator was closed and was down in the lab, so Tasha ran to find the stairs. When the doors to the stairs opened in the lab, she ran in and was shocked at what she saw.

Donald was curled in a ball on the floor, crying in pain. Leo was trying to comfort him. "DONALD!" She ran over and knelt down beside him. "Leo, what happened?" She started rubbing her husband's back.

"He said he had a stomachache all day and he just collapsed."

"Donald, what's wrong?"

He held his stomach and said through tears, "Stomach... hurts... bad!" He shut his eyes tight.

"Uh oh. Leo, call 911!"

"On it!" He ran out of the lab to do what he was told.

"Hang in there, baby. You're gonna get help. You're going to be just fine." She helped him stand up, but he was still hunched over. She held onto him and made her way to the elevator. When in the living room, he was placed on the couch. By that point, he passed out from the pain. Soon, the paramedics were there and placed him on a stretcher. He was loaded into the ambulance and quickly driven to the hospital, Leo and Tasha following behind in the car.

Chase was the first to come in, then Bree, and then Adam. They set their mission bags down and found something wrong. The lab was eerily quiet. Chase said, "Guys, something's wrong here. Why's it so quiet?"

Bree said, "You're right. Davenport's not here. Even Leo's not here causing any destruction."

Adam asked aloud to no one in particular, "HELLO?"

Chase asked, "HELLO?"

Bree said, "WE'RE HOME! WHERE IS EVERYBODY?"

Just then, Eddy popped up on his screen. "What's with all the shouting? I was trying to sleep!"

Bree asked, "Eddy, where is everyone?"

"Oh, that. I've got some footage you might want to see."

Chase asked, "Well, what is it?"

"Say please."

"EDDY!"

"Fine! Here you go!" Eddy's screen changed to surveillance footage of the living room. They saw Mr. Davenport being lifted onto a stretcher by two people and wheeled away. "Later losers!" They stood there shocked and upset. Chase was the most upset. He was the closest to Mr. Davenport and always will be. When Chase was little, he made a promise.

Flashback

Chase was just five years old. He was sleeping in his capsule when he had a nightmare.

He was kidnapped and brought to a warehouse by a guy named Douglas. He was laid down on a table and immediately asked the man questions. "Who awe you? What do you want with me?"

The man laughed. "Don't you remember me, Chasey? I'm your father."

"What? No you'we not!" He started kicking and screaming under Douglas' hand. "GET ME OUT OF HEWE!"

"Not a chance!"

Chase got out from under his grasp and tried to run, but his kidnapper caught him and held him back. "LET ME GO!"

He was still kicking and screaming, but Douglas was stronger and picked him up. He placed him back on the table. "I have something that will make you be quiet." He pulled out a syringe with a clear liquid in it and inserted it into Chase's neck carefully. Within seconds, Chase was asleep. Douglas made an incision in his neck and took out Chase's chip. He did some tweaks and put it back in. Immediately, the skin healed by itself. Chase woke up and was on the ground with Douglas standing over him. "Wakey, wakey."

"What happened?"

"Soon, you'll get all the answers you want."

Chase cowered back in fear. "W-w-what do you mean?"

"You, my son, are going to be my new," Douglas started as he raised his arms up in victory, "bionic slave. Woo!"

"NO, I'M NOT!"

"Oh, but I think you are." He pulled a remote out of his pocket and Chase tried to run. "Oh no you don't!" He pressed the green button on his remote and Chase stopped dead in his tracks.

He turned toward Douglas with his eyes open and glowing red. "I am at youw sewvice."

Douglas smiled evilly and said, "Excellent."

Chase was thrashing around in his capsule and said to himself, "No! No! No!" Surprisingly, he didn't wake Adam and Bree, who were still asleep. He ran out of his capsule and smacked the button on the elevator to bring him up. When he stepped out of the elevator and into the living room, he ran upstairs to get the only person that could calm him down when he had nightmares—Mr. Davenport. Chase opened the door to Donald's room and ran inside. "Daddy?! Daddy?!" Donald woke up to find Chase staring at him, fear clearly in his eyes. "Daddy!" He lunged into Donald's arms, and he enveloped Chase in a hug and cradled him, trying to calm him down.

"It's okay, Chase. It's okay. You're fine now." Chase calmed down a little, knowing that he was safe in the arms of his father. "What's wrong?"

"I-I had a nightmawe that someone named Dougwas t-tuwned me into his b-bionic s-soldiew." Donald's face paled and his blood boiled at hearing that. Chase looked up and saw his worried expression. "W-what's wwong, Daddy?"

He was snapped out of his thoughts. "Nothing. Nothing."

"Can I sleep with you tonight?"

"Yes, you can."

"Yay!" Chase let go and climbed over him to the other side and when he covered up, he snuggled into Donald's side.

"I promise you that I'll never let anything happen to you or Adam or Bree. I love you guys so much."

"Daddy?"

"Yeah?"

"I pwomise that we won't let anything happen to you, eithew."

"Thanks, buddy. I love you."

"I love you too, Daddy." They both fell asleep, Donald's arm around Chase and Chase curled in a ball, his arm on Donald's chest.

End of Flashback

Chase thought about that night and the promise that he made to Mr. Davenport. He felt like he broke it. No, he knew that he broke it. The footage that he saw really got to him and upset him. Bree was trying to snap him out of it. "Chase." No response. "Chase." She snapped her fingers in front of his face. Still no response.

"I got this, Bree." Adam grabbed the back of Chase's shirt and tossed him, like he loves to do.

"Adam! What was that for?"

"To snap you out of whatever trance you were in, duh." Chase just rolled his eyes.

Bree asked, "Are you all right, Chase?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Come on, let's get to the hospital."

These are the words Chase says: Awe= Are, You'we= You're, Hewe= Here, Sewvice= Service, Nightmawe= Nightmare, Dougwas= Douglas, Tuwned= Turned, Soldiew= Soldier, Wwong= Wrong, Pwomise= Promise, and Eithew= Either
