Elite Force: Season 2

by r4spb3rry

It's 2025 - f*ck it. Elite Force Season 2. After rewatching the franchise, this is - in my semi-expert opinion - where I believe the showrunners were going with Elite Force following 'The Attack'. 1 Chapter is 1 episode, 20-minute sitcom style, just as the style of the show; written in screenplay format. Ep 20 is up now: Mr Davenport is stressed - and why is there a cat in the lab?

20. Episode 20: Copy Cat

ELITE FORCE: Season 2 Episode 20

"Copy Cat"

Mr Davenport is stressed out of his mind: a huge Davenport Industries board meeting pitch is coming up, and Bree and Chase have been recruited to help. But when Bree's vocal manipulation glitches, Douglas gets stagefright, and Chase is nowhere to be found, Mr Davenport must rely on Skylar and Oliver to bring the pitch home. Can Skylar and Oliver channel their inner Davenport? The stakes seem strangely high...

FADE IN.

SCENE ONE.

INT. PENTHOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY.
(DAVENPORT and CHASE stand busily working in the centre of the room. A laptop is perched on the small side-table by the door, and an easel whiteboard is stood between them, with bullet points and data graphs meticulously drawn. DAVENPORT looks incredibly stressed as CHASE confidently stands and listens).CHASE
Mr Davenport, would you relax? I've been shadowing you in your pitches since I was seven - it's just an investors' meeting.

DAVENPORT
I'd be able to relax a lot more if this stupid computer would just work. (He grabs the laptop, frustratedly typing). No, don't freeze again! Ugh, see, this is why I don't like using PowerPoint.

CHASE
Well, if you'd let me do it by myself, I could just memorise the script and we wouldn't have to use PowerPoint.

DAVENPORT
(Sternly)
Chase, the whole point of this investors' pitch is to show them what the future of Davenport Industries is. To have you and Bree stood next to me whilst I do this shows the -

CHASE
(Crossing his arms)
Spare me. The only future Bree cares about is when she's next going to get her hair done. At least I know what compound interest is.

DAVENPORT
(Tutting)
Ever since that games night you've been at each other's throats. What happened to "we're mature adults and friends"?

CHASE
(Rolling his eyes)
Come on, realistically that was never going to last. We were born to be enemies.

DAVENPORT
(Deadpan)
You were literally born to be a team. (He sighs). You need to give your sister more credit. She's just as responsible, and the both of you are prime examples of the work ethic and professionalism that the company fosters.

(The front door quickly slides open, and BREE runs in, holding several shopping bags and sporting a huge grin).

BREE
Hey! Oh, good, you're both here. So I was on my way back with my new winter boots - which are so cute by the way - and -

DAVENPORT
Bree, have you any idea what time it is?

BREE
(Confused)
Uh… (she looks at her watch) 2:30?

DAVENPORT
It's 3:45!

(CHASE sarcastically slow claps with a fake grin).

CHASE
You're right, Mr Davenport, the future of Davenport industries is right in front of us.

DAVENPORT
You're an hour late.

(BREE, confused, inspects her watch again).

BREE
Huh? Wait, hold on - my watch stopped. (Flashing a sheepish smile) So - technically - I'm on time if you look at this.

(CHASE rolls his eyes again and shakes his head at her).

DAVENPORT
It's alright, you're here now.

BREE
But before we get started!

CHASE
We started forty-five minutes ago, but go on.

(BREE glares at him).

BREE
Anyway, (she clears her throat and starts over) I was on my way back with my new winter boots - which are so cute by the way - and I got talking to our downstairs neighbour in the elevator - you know, the one who was married to the butcher and then left him for that super cute librarian, like, nerdy-sexy, glasses, sweaters -

DAVENPORT
(Exasperated)
Does this have a point?

CHASE
(Sighs)
I find she rarely does.

BREE
Okay, okay, I'll skip ahead. The neighbour needs to leave town for a few weeks but she just got this adorable little kitten and she said she needs someone to look after her, so I said I'd do it! Isn't that great!

(She pauses for effect, a huge grin on her face. DAVENPORT and CHASE exchange a quick glance).

CHASE & DAVENPORT
(Deadpan)
No.

BREE
What? Come on, it's just a tiny little kitten! Whiskers, fluffy, little tail, apparently she's even litter trained!

DAVENPORT
You're not getting a cat.

BREE
But we let Chase live here!

CHASE
I am a supergenius who is going to absolutely own you at this presentation. You are talking about a rat with flees.

DAVENPORT
Besides, Bree, doesn't that sound eerily familiar to Mrs Ramsey and her criminal pet pig? Do you really want a repeat of that?

BREE
I've already run all the background checks on this neighbour, and they're clean. Do you think I'm stupid?

CHASE
(Smirking)
I don't not think that.

(DAVENPORT puts his arm up placatingly as BREE and CHASE glare at each other, stepping between them).

DAVENPORT
Okay, okay. (To BREE) No to the cat, (to CHASE) No to teasing your sister, and no to… okay, you know what, let's just assume that anything you two have to say to me today, the answer is "no". Now, can you two please focus on this presentation? The meeting is tomorrow and it's really important that you two are on top form.

CHASE
I already said, Mr Davenport, if you want top form, just let me do it.

(BREE glares at CHASE as he peels a banana).

DAVENPORT
(Lecturing)
Davenport Industries is a family business, and the board members want to see that. So suck it up, get along, and -

(In an act of revenge, BREE slaps the banana out of CHASE's hand, giggling triumphantly. But she promptly stops when DAVENPORT stares at her with a face of thunder).

CHASE
If "family values" are so important, why aren't Adam and Leo helping?

DAVENPORT
Because I'm not a gambling man, and I don't need a repeat of the exoskeleton. (He looks at BREE and CHASE with a serious expression). I'm serious, you guys. There's a lot riding on this. Tell me if I'm wrong to trust you.

(BREE and CHASE look at each other for a serious moment, but then nod at their father).

BREE
We've totally got this, Mr Davenport.

CHASE
Yeah, come on, we're perfect for the job.

DAVENPORT
Good.

(DAVENPORT turns around to face the computer, but with his back turned to his kids. Whilst he isn't looking CHASE flicks BREE's ear in retaliation, and BREE responds by pulling his hair. A silent physical fight descends as DAVENPORT continues to talk).

DAVENPORT
As I said, the board members are looking to support the company as a whole, not just an invention or project, so not only is there a lot of money on the line, but they're incredibly invested in the outcome. So -

(He turns around to face BREE and CHASE, and as soon as he faces them, BREE and CHASE snap up from their fight and listen innocently to him).

DAVENPORT
(Unassuming)
- it's really important you listen to every word I'm saying. Got it?

BREE & CHASE
(Nodding innocently)
Got it.

CHASE (V/O)
(Glaring, speaking telepathically)
You just wait, I'm totally getting you back for that.

BREE (V/O)
Go ahead and try, you little troll.

DAVENPORT
Did you get all that?

CHASE
(Fakely)
Absolutely!

BREE
(Giving a thumbs up)
Crystal clear, Mr Davenport!

ROLL TITLES.

SCENE TWO.
INT. MISSION COMMAND
(DOUGLAS is attempting to rewire something at a control desk, which sparks in his hand; he hisses and retreats his hand, shaking the pain off. DAVENPORT enters, a tablet in hand, pacing quickly and giving off an aura of tension).

DAVENPORT
Douglas! Please tell me you've written your concluding speech for the pitch this morning. I need one spec of good news - we have to leave for the office in twenty minutes, and either Bree has somehow shared her invisibility app with Chase, or they've fought so hard they've both disappeared.

DOUGLAS
They've probably not disappeared, Donnie, think positive! They could be… on a deathly mission or, in the hospital maybe?

DAVENPORT
(Massaging his temple)
Douglas! Please don't say things that will make my blood pressure skyrocket even higher. This meeting has enough stakes already.

DOUGLAS
(Understanding)
Ah, because of the -

DAVENPORT
Yes, because of that! And if you hadn't gotten involved wiht your games night and reignited the arch nemesis declaration they made when they were preteens, everything would be fine! Now, are you ready, or not?

(DOUGLAS shuffles from foot to foot nervously, still nursing his injured hand).

DOUGLAS
I don't know, Donnie.

DAVENPORT
What do you mean you don't know? You've been prepping for weeks!

DOUGLAS
(Quickly spiralling)
No, you've been prepping for weeks. This is just like when you'd write Mom a Christmas card from both of us, and she'd say "thanks for the message, Dougie!" but I didn't know what the message was! And she'd know I didn't know and I'd know she'd know I didn't know and… (DOUGLAS takes a deep, panicked breath). The board is going to know I'm not prepared, they'll see right through me!

DAVENPORT
Douglas, you'll be fine. This is just a little stage fright. (DOUGLAS shakes his head). Come on, what's the worst that could happen?

DOUGLAS
(In a small voice)
I'll explode.

DAVENPORT
(Deeply sighing)
And why would you explode?

DOUGLAS
I don't know! I'm nervous, okay? I haven't stood in front of the board since, you know, the whole "evil" phase. You're going to be there with me, right?

DAVENPORT
Of course I will, and so will the products of your "evil phase" if I can track either of them down. (Muttering) Where are they?

SCENE THREE.
INT. PENTHOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY.
(OLIVER and SKYLAR are at the table eating breakfast, talking with each other, when suddenly, from up the stairs, they hear a loud, piercing, horrifying scream: CHASE's scream).

SKYLAR
(Confused, concerned)
Was that… Chase?

(KAZ appears from the stairs, sprinting towards SKYLAR and OLIVER. He stops at the bottom of the stairs, looking breathless and horrified. SKYLAR and OLIVER immediately stand, fists clenched and ready to jump into a fight).

OLIVER
Kaz? Buddy, you okay? What happened?

SKYLAR
Why'd you scream? Are we under attack?

KAZ
(Violently shaking his head, paling)
Not me.

SKYLAR
So it was Chase who screamed?

(KAZ shakes his head again).

OLIVER
Then who -

(Suddenly BREE comes running down the stairs, the disgusted groaning coming out of her mouth a strange pitch and tone, very unlike her own - CHASE's).

BREE (IN CHASE'S VOICE)
(Frantic)
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I can't turn it off!

OLIVER
(Beyond confused)
Wait, wait, what is happening?

BREE (IN CHASE'S VOICE)
My vocal manipulation, it's - (Switching to SKYLAR's voice) glitching! Oh, great, now I'm Skylar.

KAZ
(Yelling)
Well at least this time we weren't kissing!

OLIVER & SKYLAR
(Wide-eyed)
Yikes.

BREE (IN SKYLAR'S VOICE)
It's not - (Switching to OLIVER's voice) my fault, Kaz! I don't know why it's glitching!

(CHASE strolls in casually from the terrace, an infuriating smirk on his face as he slow-claps).

CHASE
(Sarcastically gleeful)
Oh dear, is someone glitching?

BREE (IN OLIVER'S VOICE)
(Furious)
What did you do, you worm?!

CHASE
(Smugly)
Oh, nothing, just a little revenge for messing with me yesterday.

BREE (IN OLIVER'S VOICE)
You want to see revenge? I'll give you revenge.

SKYLAR
What is happening right now?

OLIVER
Ssh! If you stay still they won't know you're there.

CHASE
Sorry, what was that, Bree? I can't hear you saying anything? Can anyone else hear Bree speaking?

(BREE snaps, screaming and running after him. CHASE looks panicked and bolts as BREE chases him out of the front door to the penthouse and into the corridor).

CUT TO:
SCENE FOUR.
INT. MISSION COMMAND - DAY.
(DAVENPORT is pacing, stressed, muttering to himself as DOUGLAS stands biting his nails, scrolling through his tablet, attempting to memorise the pitch. DAVENPORT pulls at his tie, running a hand through his hair, when the hyperlift flashes down. The door opens, but reveals no-one there).BREE (IN CHASE'S VOICE)
(Angrily)
Mr Davenport!

(DAVENPORT stops pacing, confused at seeing no one there, and looks at DOUGLAS, who is equally baffled).

DAVENPORT
Chase?

BREE (IN CHASE'S VOICE)
No!

(BREE steps out from behind the hyperlift door, revealing herself. Her hair is dishevelled, she's white with rage. Her hand is extended behind the door still, concealing something that she has in her hand).

DAVENPORT
Bree? Finally. Quit messing around with your vocal manipulation and go put on something more presentable. We have to leave in the next five -

BREE (IN CHASE'S VOICE)
Chase messed with my chip and now I'm glitching!

DAVENPORT
(Immediately seething)
What?! Oh, for - (he breathes, then tightens his jaw, faking a smile) Where is he? So that I may kill him?

BREE (IN CHASE'S VOICE)
I don't know! If I knew where the (she spontaneously switches to DAVENPORT's voice) little delinquent was I'd have squashed him like a rat, but he ran off before I could.

DAVENPORT
(Blinking in discomfort)
Bree, we talked about this, don't pretend to be me whilst I'm yelling at you. And why are you just standing in the hyperlift?!

(BREE looks awkwardly around, and scratches the back of her head).

BREE (IN DAVENPORT'S VOICE)
Well… when I was -

DAVENPORT
In a different voice!

BREE (IN DAVENPORT'S VOICE)
(Snapping at him)
Do you think if I could control it, I would choose to be you?!

DAVENPORT
(Sighing)
Fine. Whatever, we now have three minutes, so just explain.

BREE (IN DAVENPORT'S VOICE)
I was running after Chase down the hall of the building, and…um… that neighbour from yesterday, the one with the cat…

(DAVENPORT viscerally sighs, closing his eyes and running a hand down his face).

DAVENPORT
Bree, tell me you didn't!

(BREE sheepishly walks out of the hyperlift, now showing her previously hidden arm, to reveal it holding a cat carrier with a little tabby kitten inside. DAVENPORT slams his head on the cyberdesk).

DAVENPORT
Bree.DOUGLAS
What? What did she do? Where did you get that?

BREE (IN DAVENPORT'S VOICE)
What was I supp- (she spontaneously switches to mimic DOUGLAS) -osed to do? I told her yesterday I'd do it. And she just shoved it at me. (She sighs, still in DOUGLAS's voice) So, meet Tiddles McMitten-Whiskers.

DOUGLAS & DAVENPORT
(Deadpan)
Tiddles McMitten-Whiskers?

BREE (IN DOUGLAS' VOICE)
(Sheepishly)
…the III.

SCENE FIVE.
INT. MISSION COMMAND - DAY.
(KAZ, SKYLAR and OLIVER have now joined BREE, DAVENPORT and DOUGLAS. The mood is tense. BREE sits on a stool, the kitten in the carrier on the cyberdesk next to him. KAZ looks utterly betrayed).

KAZ
(Offended)
I mean, really, Bree? You wouldn't let me have a pet pig? But a cat is okay? You're such a hypocrite.

(SKYLAR crouches and wiggles her fingers through the bars to scratch its head).

SKYLAR
He's so cute, though.

OLIVER
(Cooing)
Look at his little nose.

(The kitten meows, batting at SKYLAR's hand).

DAVENPORT
(Enraged)
Enough! Enough "cat" talk. Where is Chase?

OLIVER
Are we absolutely sure Bree didn't kill him? She's been mad at him since trivia.

BREE (IN KAZ'S VOICE)
I don't know! I lost him somewhere on the eighteenth floor and now I've got a cat. (Groans) Ugh, I hate my vocal manipulation! (She meows like the cat in the cage, and goes red with embarrassment. She slumps on the cyberdesk miserably). I'm just going to stop talking.

(DAVENPORT is pacing, muttering, trying to think the plan through).

DAVENPORT
Alright, so we don't have Chase - wherever he is - and I'm going to have to stay here and fix Bree… (he looks at DOUGLAS) You've got to take this one solo. (Sighs) Let's just hope the investors don't bat an eyelid at the fact that the "Davenport Industries Corporate Introduction of Bree Davenport and Chase Davenport"... (he finally snaps) is noticeably missing Bree Davenport and Chase Davenport!

(DOUGLAS pales).

DOUGLAS
(Frantically shaking his head)
Donnie, I can't. I can't do this without someone else there! You know I get the shakes. Look!

(He shoves his hand in DAVENPORT's face, his fingers trembling. DAVENPORT shoves it from his face and groans in frustration).

DAVENPORT
Oh god… I'm ruined.

SKYLAR
Mr Davenport, what's so important about this meeting? I thought it was just a pitch?

(DAVENPORT opens and closes his mouth).

DAVENPORT
It is just a pitch, it's… (he looks at BREE, then the other three, and decides against speaking) never mind. Douglas, we don't have any other option. We don't know where Chase is, and Bree is clearly out of action.

(BREE, silently but vigorously, nods. But DOUGLAS looks between DAVENPORT, BREE and the others).

DOUGLAS
Unless… it didn't have to be Bree or Chase.

DAVENPORT
The title of the presentation has their name on it! Of course it does!

DOUGLAS
Well, yes, but… (suggestively) you do own such a thing as cybercloaks…

(DAVENPORT snaps his head towards SKYLAR and OLIVER, who are standing wide-eyed).

SCENE SIX.
INT. DAVENPORT INDUSTRIES - BOARD ROOM - DAY.
(DOUGLAS closes the door and shuts the blinds of a large, empty board room with an oval table, several chairs, and a wide, floor-to-ceiling window that pans over the city. A laptop is hooked up to a large screen, loading on a buffering screen as it logs in).

("BREE" and "CHASE" stand in front of the screen, and DOUGLAS picks up the laptop, loading the presentation. The screen changes to a slide of data and graphs).

DOUGLAS
Thanks for letting us use your laptop, Oliver. I'd usually use Chase's - mine's the old model and it doesn't have an HDMI to match the screens in the office.

("CHASE" reaches up to his neck, and tapping the blue dot of a cybercloak. He suddenly morphs into OLIVER).

OLIVER
No problem!

(The laptop loads into the home screen page. A desktop screen with a background of a cute photo of OLIVER and SKYLAR on a hike, the view scenic as they share a kiss, floods the projection. DOUGLAS raises an eyebrow).

DOUGLAS
(Teasing)
Cute picture.

("BREE" copies OLIVER's previous action, tapping the cybercloak on her own neck, revealing herself to be SKYLAR. SKYLAR is red in the face, swiftly marching over to DOUGLAS and snatching the laptop).

SKYLAR
Let's just get this over with, shall we? Then Oliver can change his background when we're home.

OLIVER
Oh come on, it's cute!

SKYLAR
Are you kidding? I have, like, three zits in that picture.

DOUGLAS
(Confused)
I don't think the zits are the main point of the picture.

SKYLAR
(Rolls her eyes)
You had tons of choices of me wearing make-up, looking pretty, but no, you had to pick the one where I'm a sweaty mess!

(SKYLAR loads a slideshow presentation, opening with the "Davenport Industries" logo, and expanding the document so it takes up the whole screen).

SKYLAR
Let's just focus! Will these people actually buy that we're Bree and Chase? You and Mr Davenport run this company, they're basically celebrities. Aren't their faces plastered on every wall or something? Surely everyone here knows what they're like as people.

DOUGLAS
Actually, you'd be surprised. Mannerism wise, you're good. Donnie kept them hidden for most of their lives, so all they really know about Adam, Bree, Chase and Leo is: "Strong", "Fast", "Smart" and "Step-son", so just do what you can and don't do anything flashy. They probably don't even remember what they look like, to be honest. The pictures on Donnie's desk are from when they were little, and the corporate staff rarely get out in time for the 10pm news.

SKYLAR
That's…

DOUGLAS
(Smugly)
Efficient? I know. We're amazing!

OLIVER
No. Horrible. Who's your HR?

DOUGLAS
Budget cuts - we lost them last quarter.

(OLIVER and SKYLAR exchange glances, but before either of them can speak, they all start to hear voices down the hall. DOUGLAS panics).

DOUGLAS
That's them! Okay, show time. Cybercloaks, people!

(SKYLAR and OLIVER reach for their necks and tap their cybercloaks… but immediately look at each other in confusion. Nothing happens. DOUGLAS glances out of the blinds to the corridor and turns back, horrified to see they have not changed to mimic BREE or CHASE yet).

DOUGLAS
(Nervously)
Guys! You still look very un-Davenport-like!

OLIVER
We're trying, it's broken!

(DOUGLAS laughs in anxious disbelief).

DOUGLAS
What? No! Really?

SKYLAR
(Biting)
No, we're lying for fun. Yes, it's broken!

DOUGLAS
(Groans)
Aw, man. The cybercloaks are signal based. Donnie put a different router in the building because of the budget cuts - I bet the new one doesn't reach this floor.

(DOUGLAS rushes over to SKYLAR, tilting her head and messing with the cybercloak to get it to work wirelessly. But before he can, the door to the board room swings open. SKYLAR, DOUGLAS and OLIVER freeze. Enter GERTIE, KEV and MARISOL, three board members for Davenport Industries. MARISOL is a smiling, friendly woman, whereas GERTIE has a judgemental scowl on her face and holds herself snootily high. KEV is wearing a loud tie and he immediately approaches to shake DOUGLAS' hand).

KEV
Douglas! Mr Davenport 2.0 - we're so ready for your niece and nephew's official debut in the company! How are you doing, friend?

(DOUGLAS looks like a deer in headlights, limply shaking his hand. He clears his throat, composing himself).

DOUGLAS
Kevin. Hi. Uh… (he looks back at SKYLAR and OLIVER, and winces pre-emptively). Look, I can explain where Bree and Chase are.

MARISOL
These aren't them? (Smiling, extending a hand to OLIVER and SKYLAR). You must be Bree and Chase - Gertie and I were looking at a photo of you and your teammates in the Elite Force. I recognise you from the group photo.

(OLIVER and SKYLAR are confused into silence, standing wide-eyed in front of the "Davenport Industries" logo filling the presentation screen. DOUGLAS suddenly has an epiphany).

DOUGLAS
(Realising, numbly)
Yes. Yes, you do. You do recognise them from the group photo.

OLIVER
(Whispering, alarmed)
Douglas?

DOUGLAS
Kevin, Marisol, Gertie, welcome to our presentation. Please meet… (he gestures to SKYLAR and OLIVER, who, without their cybercloaks, are exactly themselves, and are smiling tightly) …Bree, and Chase.

(KEV, GERTIE and MARISOL smile unassumingly and take their seats as DOUGLAS, OLIVER and SKYLAR exchange glances).

SKYLAR
(Quietly)
I don't know if this is going to go so well.

DOUGLAS
(Hissing encouragingly)
Come on, get into character. Bree wouldn't say that.

SKYLAR
Okay, fine. This is going to be the worst disaster of epic proportions I've ever seen in my life, and also I hate my brother. Happy?

(DOUGLAS pauses, blinks, and then nods).

DOUGLAS
That's the spirit.

MIDWAY BREAK.

SCENE SEVEN.
INT. DAVENPORT INDUSTRIES - BOARD ROOM - DAY.
(GERTIE, KEV and MARISOL, are sitting at the sleek, polished board room table, listening politely. GERTIE is making disapproving notes. DOUGLAS is standing off to the side of the computer, watching OLIVER and SKYLAR with nerves that are disguised as interest in what they have to say. OLIVER and SKYLAR attempt their way through the presentation, struggling with playing the parts of BREE and CHASE).

SKYLAR
So, uh, my brother and I are currently a part of the Elite Force.

OLIVER
Right, but the… (he reads off his hand, but it is smudged) corporal?

SKYLAR
(Whispering, correcting him)
Corporate.

OLIVER
(Louder, more confident)
Corporate! Corporate world is one we - I, Chase, and my sister, Bree - are taking a great interest in. (He looks to DOUGLAS, confused, breaking character) Are they really?

(DOUGLAS steps forwards, nervously laughing).

DOUGLAS
(Pointedly)
Chase…why don't you show them some of the data you've meticulously collected.

OLIVER
Right! (He clears his throat) Next slide, please, Bree.

(SKYLAR doesn't take on the instruction, and there is a brief moment of silence before she realises).

SKYLAR
(Eyes widening)
Oh, right! Yep! Bree, that's me.

(SKYLAR clicks to the next slide of the presentation. There are four graphs on the screen, all equipped in bright colours and with trajectory lines, each labelled with First / Second / Third / Fourth Quarter. OLIVER looks at it, taking it in, clearly does not understand what he sees, and takes a breath to begin explaining).

OLIVER
Well… There's more blue. Because, I guess, uh… more things are blue. But then not in the second one. Or the third one. But then in the fourth one, people - the people - they stop liking blue, and now, the people - the same people as before - they like… red.

SKYLAR
(Confidently)
Any questions?

(GERTIE, KEV and MARISOL, blankly and confused, all shove their hands in the air).

SCENE EIGHT.
INT. MISSION COMMAND - DAY.
(BREE is sitting, miserable and furious, on a stool, as DAVENPORT tinkers with schematics on the cyberdesk. KAZ stands nearby for moral support, but is clearly hovering, unsure what to do. On the surface of the cyberdesk, in his little cage, sits the kitten, meowing).

KAZ
So, uh… you can fix her, right?

DAVENPORT
Against my better judgement, yes. Although I've half a mind to leave you like this as punishment for fighting with your brother and nearly ruining this presentation, Bree.

BREE (DAVENPORT)
It's not my fault! Chase did it! (The kitten meows, as if agreeing with her). See! Even the cat agrees. (The kitten meows again, and BREE scowls at it). Oh, can it, Whiskers, you made your point.

KAZ
Okay, I'm not going to lie, that vocal manipulation is seriously creepy. You're like a parrot.

DAVENPORT
(Huffing)
A parrot who used to pretend to be her father to get out of detention.

BREE (DAVENPORT)
Ugh, how much - (she hiccups, and turns into speaking through CHASE's voice) ...longer? (She groans) Ew, I'm Chase again! Please, this is torture! It's not fair! Kaz is supposed to think I'm pretty and now I sound like my brother.

KAZ
(Comfortingly)
I still think you're pretty.

BREE (CHASE)
(Horrified)
Don't say that whilst I sound like my brother! (She grabs DAVENPORT by the shirt collar and pulls him terrifyingly close, scowling at him) Fix this! Now!

(The kitten, from his cage, lets out a strangled meow and bats at the carrier edge).

KAZ
(Concerned)
Is this cat okay? It seems… mad.

BREE (CHASE)
It's fine, it's a cat! Now back to me.

DAVENPORT
(Sighing)
Give me a minute, Bree, I'm working on it! Honestly, I cannot believe you let this fight get in the way of -

BREE (CHASE)
Quit the lecture already! And since I currently sound like Chase, take that on his behalf as well.

DAVENPORT
Right. Fine. (DAVENPORT slams his hand down onto the cyberdesk, and links something to her chip). There, give it two hours, and you'll be good as new.

BREE (CHASE)
(Angrily)
Two hours?

DAVENPORT
Yep.

BREE (CHASE)
Can't you speed it up?

DAVENPORT
(Absently)
I probably could, yes.

BREE (CHASE)
Well… are you going to?

DAVENPORT
(Smiling sweetly)
Nope. Because this is the closest thing I can get to grounding you now that you don't live at home, and you deserve it. Bye, honey!

(DAVENPORT strolls happily into the hyperlift, and BREE attempts to speed after him. The wiring snaps and pulls her backwards and she collides into the stool, pulling herself back up, a scowl on her face).

BREE (CHASE)
(Calling after him)
Yeah! Well… I hope you go bald!

(DAVENPORT glares at her).

DAVENPORT
Oh, look at that! Now it's three hours.

(BREE lets out a strangled grunt).

SCENE NINE.
INT. DAVENPORT INDUSTRIES - BOARD ROOM - DAY.
(GERTIE, KEV and MARISOL are sitting at the board table, looking thoroughly unconvinced by OLIVER and SKYLAR's attempt to present to them).KEV
My question is, what's the reason that the Elite Force's revenue the last quarter wasn't as high as previous? On paper, you're very talented young adults, but I'm seeing a steep decline.

SKYLAR
(Genuinely)
Well, you know, we don't really do this for the money.

GERTIE
(Unimpressed)
And what exactly is it that you do?

MARISOL
(Cheerily)
Gertie, come on! Chase has super-intelligence, and Bree is the fastest girl in the world! Everyone knows that.

SKYLAR
(Offended, under her breath)
I don't know about the fastest…

GERTIE
If you're going to come over to the corporate side, we need to know what you're capable of. Because you're calling yourselves "super", but this data shows me otherwise.

MARISOL
Oh, I'm sure they'd be willing to give us a demonstration!

(OLIVER panicked, looks at DOUGLAS).

OLIVER
Demonstrate my super-intelligence? Here? Right now?

SKYLAR
(Quickly)
I'll go. (SKYLAR quickly zips around the room in a blur. When she returns, she has swiped MARISOL's jacket straight off her back, unnoticed. She hands it back with a smirk). There, a demonstration of my totally-unique, bionic-not-alien super-speed. Here's your jacket, by the way.

MARISOL
(Clapping)
Amazing!

GERTIE
(Sceptical, to OLIVER)
And you, Chase?

DOUGLAS
(Hastily)
Hey, maybe we could move on to the projection plan?

KEV
Come on, Dougie, let the kid show off! It would be good for us to see, anyway.

OLIVER
(Hissing, to DOUGLAS)
I thought this was a corporate presentation!

DOUGLAS
Uh…

GERTIE
You can do it... can't you?

OLIVER
You know, I'm just, I'm pretty tired. I'm too focused on the - uh - data, to do it right now.

SKYLAR
I know! Why don't we all take five, you guys can go get coffee, and then you can come back and we can continue. Okay?

MARISOL
But -

SKYLAR
(Quickly)
Oh, you want another demonstration of my superspeed? Why not!

(SKYLAR quickly rounds up all three of GERTIE, KEV and MARISOL in a blur and shoves them out of the door).

SKYLAR
See you in five!

(She slams the door shut and turns around to face DOUGLAS and OLIVER).

SKYLAR
(Glaring)
Alright, Dr Frankenstein. What's going on?

(DOUGLAS hesitates, and sighs).

DOUGLAS
Alright! Alright. Donnie and I haven't been entirely honest. This isn't a corporate pitch. (Quickly, defensively) But it is still a pitch! And it's really important that it's Bree and Chase that deliver it.

OLIVER
(Baffled)
Why?

DOUGLAS
Donnie didn't want me to say until all of you could be together. Could you please just trust us? Get through the pitch, humour the board members, and just… make Bree and Chase look good. Okay? Please.

SKYLAR
Douglas, we can't pitch unless we know what we're pitching.

DOUGLAS
They just want to know about the Elite Force. Talk through your saves, big each other up, you're awesome, just show it!

(OLIVER and SKYLAR look at each other skeptically, and then they sigh).

OLIVER
Alright.

SKYLAR
Okay, we can do that.

DOUGLAS
(Relieved)
Good - thank you.

OLIVER
Although, I have to say, pretending Skylar is my sister is a little weird considering we –

DOUGLAS
(Dismissively waving his hands)
Yeah, yeah, just another thing in a long list of things we don't tell the board members about, 'kay?

SCENE TEN.
INT. MISSION COMMAND – DAY.
(BREE is sitting on a stool, disconnecting the wire from her neck with a grin. KAZ stands nearby, leaning casually against the cyberdesk).

BREE
(In her own voice)
Testing, testing, one, two, three… (She takes a big sigh of relief) Oh my gosh, I'm pretty again! I'm finally free! (She grabs KAZ's hand, urgently, smiling) Come on, let's go do something fun! Roller-skating? Paintball? I'll let you pick as long as we get away from my father.

KAZ
Bree, I don't know, Mr Davenport seemed really set on you staying here.

BREE
Oh come on, he changes his mind all the time. Just last week he changed brand of hair styling gel! (The kitten, from his cage, indignantly meows). Quiet, the grown-ups are talking.

KAZ
I thought you liked cats? You're the one who offered to watch it.

BREE
Yeah, but this one's annoying me.

(Suddenly DAVENPORT enters, tablet in hand).

DAVENPORT
Speaking of annoying, how's your vocal manipulation?

BREE
(Glaring)
Funny.

DAVENPORT
I wasn't trying to be.

BREE
You know, parents are supposed to be supportive.

DAVENPORT
(Frustrated)
And you were supposed to be at this pitch meeting, Bree! (He gestures to his own head-height). I have absolutely had it up to here with you.

BREE
It's not my fault Chase messed with my settings!

DAVENPORT
Well, is it your fault that no one knows where Chase is now?

(The kitten meows from his cage).

BREE
(Scoffing)
What's the big deal? It's just a meeting, you have them all the time!

DAVENPORT
Bree, you have no idea what you're talking about. I trusted you and your brother –

BREE
That can't be true if you don't trust us enough to tell us why!

(There is an awkward silence as BREE and DAVENPORT stare at each other with mirrored stubbornness and defiance).

KAZ
(Awkwardly)
This seems like a father-daughter thing, I'm going to just go…

BREE
(To KAZ)
No, stay.

DAVENPORT
Fine. Then he can hear this too. You fancy yourself a mature adult, Bree, but you're not. And you've made it very clear today that I cannot trust you or Chase to get the job done. (He takes a grave pause, looking her in the eye) I am very disappointed in you, Bree Davenport.

(BREE stops, swallows, defiantly folds her arms).

BREE
Fine.

DAVENPORT
Fine? That's what you have to say to me? Fine?

BREE
(Coldly)
If you think I can't be a mature adult, fine. That's your opinion.

(DAVENPORT thinks about saying something else, but then storms off into the hyperlift. BREE stares after him, chewing her lip, her eyes shining, but she looks down. KAZ hovers his hand on her shoulder, unsure how to help).

KAZ
If it's any consolation… I think you're very mature.

BREE
(In a small voice)
He's right, I'm not mature.

KAZ
Sure you are! Like chedder.

BREE
No, I'm not… I... (She sighs, mumbles something).

KAZ
What did you say?

(BREE sighs, embarrassed).

BREE
I said that… the cat… (BREE mumbles the same news again).

KAZ
(Confused)
I'm sorry, I still didn't hear you.

BREE
(Louder, frustrated)
The cat is Chase, okay! There, I said it.

(KAZ processes, blinking in shock. His mouth falls open, he stares at the cat, who, from his cage, lets out another angry mew. KAZ blinks again).

KAZ
What the f-

BREE
I know! I know. But he made me so mad and I wanted a cat and he made fun of it! And the presentation was getting to us and he messed with my bionics so I thought –

KAZ
You would turn him into a cat! (Sarcastic) Sure, Bree, that seems like a really logical next step.

BREE
He had some of his shapeshifting serum lying around! (CHASE, the cat, hisses and scratches out at the bars. BREE scoffs at him). Yeah, I know, but it'll wear off eventually! (She holds her hands up in a mock surrender) "Actions have consequences", blah, blah, blah, you don't have to be speaking English for me to hear you lecturing me, Chase.

KAZ
How long ago did you do this?

BREE
(Sheepishly)
About four hours – so if your sheep-stint that one halloween is anything to go by, it will wear off any second. (She groans) Mr Davenport is going to kill me. (Frantic) Do you see what I mean, Kaz? He is totally right, I am totally not mature! (CHASE meows and throws himself at BREE from the bar of the cage, hissing at her. She bites back at him, bitterly). I will feed you to a dog!

(There is silence, KAZ watches the situation, deep in thought. Then he grins).

KAZ
Honestly, Bree, I can't help you. But it is nice to be the smart, successful one in this relationship for once!

(BREE sighs deeply and sinks back onto the stool, her elbows propped up and her head in her hands, as CHASE the cat hisses at her and bats again through the door to the cage).

SCENE ELEVEN.
INT. DAVENPORT INDUSTRIES - BOARD ROOM - DAY.
(The pitch has recommenced, SKYLAR and OLIVER each with a new determination. DOUGLAS watches from the side, giving them a secure nod as KEV, GERTIE and MARISOL sit politely at the table, focused on the presentation slides).OLIVER
(Confident, almost suave)
Excellent question Marisol - can I call you Mari? (Charming smile) I, Chase Davenport, performed as mission leader for the first six years of missions with my siblings, then subsequently gave up the title for -

SKYLAR
(Interrupting him)
My better, faster teammates. The Elite Force is one unit with no mission leader, and it has actually contributed to more saves and creates a better, more inclusive team dynamic.

OLIVER
In fact, on the next slide there might be a graph… (Quietly to DOUGLAS) is there a graph? (DOUGLAS nods, and OLIVER fist pumps the air, triumphant) There is a graph!

GERTIE
You seem very enthusiastic about graphs.

OLIVER
(Nodding)
Yeah, dude, that's in character, trust me.

GERTIE
What?

OLIVER
Nothing, never mind. (To SKYLAR, smirking) Shall we move on, sister?

SKYLAR
(Smoothly)
Yes, brother, we shall.

FADE TO:
SCENE TWELVE.
INT. DAVENPORT INDUSTRIES - BOARD ROOM - DAY.
(OLIVER and SKYLAR, having finally found their rhythm, are winding down the meeting, reaching a conclusion slide, thanking their attendees. KEV, MARISOL, and even GERTIE look impressed. DOUGLAS smiles gratefully towards SKYLAR and OLIVER as he approaches them, facing the board members).

DOUGLAS
If no one else has any questions, that concludes our presentation. Thank you all very much for coming and I hope this has given you a lot to think about.

(KEV stands, motioning to shake DOUGLAS' hand again, just as OLIVER closes down the slide-show screen).

KEV
Very interesting, Douglas! Your niece and nephew are an example to the family name.

DOUGLAS
Well, we think so! Bree and Chase scream "family values". We're very proud of them.

(As OLIVER closes down the presentation, ready to unplug his computer, suddenly, he and SKYLAR see MARISOL, KEV and GERTIE all suddenly grimace. Their faces are stuck on the computer screen, and they look horrified).

KEV
Uh…

GERTIE
What on earth?

(KEV puts a fist to his mouth, disgusted).

MARISOL
(Blinking, looking away, blushing)
Oh my.

(OLIVER and SKYLAR stand in front of the computer, which is now closed of all documents and currently projects OLIVER's computer's homescreen for the room to see: the photo of he and SKYLAR sharing a kiss on a hike).

OLIVER
(Confused)
What? What did I do?

(OLIVER looks at the photo, then back at KEV, MARISOL and GERTIE, then at the photo, and finally at SKYLAR).

OLIVER
(Realising his mistake)
Oh, oh. Ooh, yes, I see what I just did.

(OLIVER swiftly runs to the computer and unplugs it as fast as he can, as GERTIE, KEV and MARISOL all stare in horrified disgust at who they believe to be brother and sister).

DOUGLAS
There is a very, very rational explanation I can assure you.

(OLIVER and SKYLAR stand side-by-side, pursed lips, looking awkwardly at KEV, GERTIE and MARISOL).

SKYLAR
(Casually, with a nervous smile)
Hey, so, there's a chance that we're, uh… not Bree and Chase.

KEV
You think?

DOUGLAS
(Quietly)
Please don't tell Donnie.

(KEV, MARISOL and GERTIE all make to storm out of the office. SKYLAR runs after them hastily, panic on her face).

SKYLAR
Wait! (She follows them out of the room, calling after them down the corridor) Did you notice the zits on the picture or no?

CUT TO:
SCENE THIRTEEN.
INT. MISSION COMMAND - DAY.
(MR DAVENPORT is slumped in defeat from his horrible day. He is face down on a cyberdesk, groaning. DOUGLAS, SKYLAR, and OLIVER stand in front of him, with BREE, CHASE, and KAZ stood beside them, all looking like shameful, sheepish school children. DAVENPORT shakes his head, mumbling nonsense, banging his head against the cyberdesk).

KAZ
You know, Mr Davenport, I've not done anything to upset you today.

(DAVENPORT stands up straight, seething).

DAVENPORT
It's only 4:30 - give it time! (He glances across at DOUGLAS and the rest of the Elite Force, beginning with CHASE) Messing with your sister's bionic infrastructure - again. (He looks at BREE) Turning your brother into a cat… (Then DOUGLAS) Messing up a meeting beyond repair… (Finally to SKYLAR and OLIVER) and almost turning my entire board of trustees against me! (He shrugs, yelling skywards) I'm the only one hear without a power or bionic ability, and yet I'm the superhero for putting up with you!

DOUGLAS
(Sheepishly raising a hand)
Technically, I don't have an ability either.

DAVENPORT
Your superpower is creating disasters!

DOUGLAS
(Quietly)
Fair enough.

(DAVENPORT sighs, pinches the bridge of his nose, massages his temples, and takes a deep breath).

DAVENPORT
I have managed to convince the board that this was all an elaborate prank from you, Douglas. But unfortunately, it does mean that -

DOUGLAS
(Suddenly excited)
I don't have to do another pitch ever again?

DAVENPORT
(Stalling)
Well - never say never, but…

(DOUGLAS whoops for joy).

DOUGLAS
Never again! Honestly, Donnie, that was the worst day of my life! Yes! I'm free!

(DOUGLAS, celebrating with joy, runs into the hyperlift, and whoops again as the hyperlift takes him away upstairs. Once he is gone, DAVENPORT looks between BREE and CHASE).

DAVENPORT
Now, as for you two…

CHASE
Dad, I'm really sorry.

BREE
Me too. We shouldn't have been so immature.

CHASE
We lost sight of what was important.

BREE
Yeah, I'm sorry.

CHASE
Really so- (he coughs, violently) …sorry, fur-ball.

DAVENPORT
(Sighs)
No, you were right, Bree. I'm sorry. You are perfectly capable, and I shouldn't have said those things to you. I should have been more honest with you both from the start... with you all, really.

(BREE and CHASE exchange a look, and they, SKYLAR, KAZ and OLIVER watch him warily, sensing MR DAVENPORT has more to say).

SKYLAR
What is it, Mr Davenport?

OLIVER
Yeah… something was going on in that meeting. You know, aside from the elaborate lies. The board members kept asking loads of questions about how many people the Elite Force had saved.

(DAVENPORT waits for a beat, then looks across KAZ, SKYLAR, OLIVER, BREE and CHASE).

DAVENPORT
I wanted you all to be together when I told you. With Rodissius' children being captured, there have been some talks among the board members regarding the Elite Force's… purpose.

KAZ
(Immediately defensive)
What do you mean "purpose"? They're gone for good! We don't need to prove ourselves, we got almost all of the siblings!

DAVENPORT
Well, actually, Kaz, looking at your mission records, Roman and Riker did all the work. You guys all got captured whilst they defeated their own family. You were lucky you didn't drown in that Tridecagram room - they saved you.

CHASE
Okay, but Raven's still on the loose! And we have tons of other missions!

DAVENPORT
You do, but the thing is, Chase, with it having taken you so long to capture Roman and Riker's siblings, and with that being the reason the Elite Force was banded together in the first place, there have been some… financial concerns.

BREE
What kind of financial concerns?

DAVENPORT
(Gravely)
That the Elite Force is losing Davenport Industries more money than they're making. And, honestly, they're right.

SKYLAR
(Finally realising)
So that pitch was to prove that the Elite Force is worth keeping.

DAVENPORT
Yes, Skylar, that's right. And… they were less than impressed.

(All at once, SKYLAR, KAZ, OLIVER, BREE and CHASE burst into argument, furiously yelling their defence at MR DAVENPORT, desperate to be held together as a team).

CHASE
"Less than impressed"? That's ridiculous!

KAZ
What do you mean "worth keeping"? We've saved like half the city!

BREE
Are you going to split us up? You can't do that again!

SKYLAR
It's not about the money and you know that!

OLIVER
We're some of the only superheroes left! It's -

(DAVENPORT raises his hands).

DAVENPORT
Woah, woah, woah. Calm down. No one is disbanding your team yet. That's not what I'm saying.

CHASE
What are you saying?

DAVENPORT
I'm saying that I managed to talk them down. If you can finish what you started, find and defeat Raven, prove that this team is as good as you all know you are, then you get to keep your funding.

OLIVER
(Wide-eyed)
And if not?

DAVENPORT
(Shaking his head)
I'm sorry guys, that's the best deal I could get them to sign off on. The board has given you until next quarter's budget review meeting, then they'll decide and take a vote.

(There is stunned silence as the five members of the Force process the news, devastated. No one knows what to say. It's clear that everyone is shaken, still, attempting to form words. But then BREE steps forwards, a determined hardness in her expression).

BREE
We can do that. I know we can. We just have to find Raven, right? How hard can that be? (She looks at DAVENPORT) How long is it until the budget review meeting?

DAVENPORT
Thirty days.

(OLIVER sharply inhales, CHASE blinks, calculating, but SKYLAR nods).

SKYLAR
Thirty days. Okay. It'll be a push, but we can do it.

BREE
(Nodding)
Totally.

(DAVENPORT watches as the five of them look at each other, KAZ's hand on BREE's shoulder, OLIVER face devastated. SKYLAR stands with her arms crossed, stubborn determination on her face as CHASE looks across his team. The air is heavy, but it's clear they are all on the same page with a fighting spirit).

KAZ
Thirty days to find and track down Raven… or the Elite Force is over for good.

(CHASE is suddenly flooded with a rousing spirit).

CHASE
Well then, come on! Let's suit up and get looking!

(Enthusiasm ripples through the team. BREE cheers; SKYLAR pats OLIVER on the back).

OLIVER
Yeah, Elite Force!

BREE
Let's do this!

SKYLAR
Go team!

(All five of them run immediately towards the tunnels. The stone wall slides open, and CHASE, BREE, SKYLAR, KAZ and OLIVER run, as a unit, out of mission command, cheering and encouraging each other onwards).

CUT TO:
SCENE FOURTEEN.
INT. TUNNELS – DAY.
(Having run gun-ho into the tunnels as a team, BREE, OLIVER, SKYLAR, CHASE and KAZ all immediately slow to a stop. The sudden push of energy peters out. They all look confused as they realise they don't know where they're going).OLIVER
Does anyone have a plan?

SKYLAR
Nope.

BREE
Not a one.

(A brief pause as they think).

CHASE
We should probably go get one then…

KAZ
Yeah, or, you know, I'm kind of hungry.

(Another pause).

SKYLAR
(Nodding)
I could eat.

BREE
Yeah, same.

OLIVER
(Excited)
Ooh, that all-you-can-eat Chinese food place just opened down the street!

CHASE
(With the same enthusiasm)
Alright! Let's go eat... then suit up and get looking tomorrow!

BREE
(Cheering)
Woo-hoo! Tomorrow!

OLIVER
Yeah, Elite Force!

KAZ
Chinese food!

SKYLAR
Go team!

(They all cheer again, and run the way they came back out the tunnels).

FADE OUT.
