Sink Or Swim Pt.2


Nobody's POV

"So...this is where we'll be hiding out from the FBI. What do you think?" 'Donald' says as they walk into a dark gated room, which is located in one of his 'off-shore' facilities.

"I think we should update our tetanus shots." Bree groans looking around the dark room.

"Hey, where's Leo? I thought you said he'd be here." Chase asks.

"Yeah, I kind of lied about that." 'Donald' says pressing his fingers to the side of his neck, changing back to his true appearance.

"Guess who?" He chuckles with a smirk.

"Whoa! Awesome mask, Mr. Davenport! He looks just like his evil brother who captured us!" Adam chuckles.

"That is his evil brother." Bree mutters.

"And he did just capture us." Chase adds.

"Oh!" Adam gasps, finally realising what's going on.

"I don't get it! I froze you into an ice cube! You were in Mr Davenport's warehouse! How did you get out?!" Mia shouts glaring at him.

"I had a little help." Douglas says with a shrug.

"It doesn't matter! We'll destroy this rat trap just like your last one!" Bree snaps glaring at him.

"Yeah, thanks for that. I didn't even have time to back up my music. Twenty years of up-tempo jazz, gone!" Douglas groans.

"Yeah? Well I know something else that's about to be gone." Chase says.

"Yeah. Let's get his reggae too." Adam says with a smirk.

"Crush him!" Mia shouts as they begin to charge at him.

"Now!" Douglas shouts pointing across the room.

Adam, Bree, Chase and Mia glance to the side, just as a masked figure walks out of the darkness. He holds up his hand and electrocutes the four of them, knocking them unconscious.

"Told you I had a little help." Douglas chuckles.

"Wakey-wakey. Eggs and bac-y. Actually it's just an expression. All we have to eat around here are nuts, berries and... The occasional barbequed iguana." Douglas says as the four bionic teens wake up, forcing themselves up off the floor.

"Taunting us with non-existent breakfast foods? You really are evil!" Adam snaps glaring at them.

"Wait! Who was that guy?" Chase asks as he, Bree and Mia walk over to Adam.

"Oh, that's right. You haven't been formally introduced to my partner. Krane, come say hi to the kids." Douglas says with a smirk.

"Wait, now we have three dads?" Adam asks.

"No way, I'm losing count of them all!" Mia groans, just as Krane walks back out.

"After I was booted from Davenport Industries I needed cash to continue my research. Luckily, I found a billionaire who believed in me. Say hello to my colleague, benefactor, and all-around bad guy, Victor Krane." Douglas explains.

"What's with the mask?" Bree asks.

Krane takes off the mask, revealing his horribly disfigured face to the four teens.

"Is there a way I can un-see that?" Mia mutters, making Krane glare at her.

"Dude, I have got to get you into a dermatologist." Douglas mutters.

"What is that stuff all over his face?" Bree asks, pointing to all the wires and pieces of metal lodged into Krane's face.

"You are no longer the only humans with bionics." Krane says with a smirk.

"Krane agreed to fund my work so long as I shared my research with him. He implants every piece of bionic technology I design to make himself more powerful." Douglas explains.

"Well, I hope he got a good personality, 'cause what's on the outside- Yikes." Chase mutters.

"Enough! Let's go. You have work to do." Krane says walking towards the door.

As he turns his back, Mia fires her electrokinesis at him. He quickly turns around and fires his own electrokinesis back at her, overpowering hers and knocking her to the floor.

"I expected more from you Mia. Douglas has said so many good things about you." Krane chuckles before walking off.

"Isn't he cool?" Douglas asks turning back to the four teens.

"Oh yeah, he's great!" Mia retorts as Chase helps her up.

"You can cart out all the freaks you want. It's not going to keep us here." Bree says.

"Oh, I beg to differ." Douglas chuckles pressing a button on the desk, causing two rings to circle around Adam, Bree, Chase and Mia.

"Whoa, cool. Giant ring toss! Gotta give you credit, you're evil, but fun!" Adam gasps.

"They're titanium energy rings. They create an impenetrable force field that nothing can escape." Douglas explains.

"Aren't you forgetting something? I have Pyrokinesis. I'll just melt 'em." Mia says generating a ray of fire in her right arm.

"Good luck with that. Titanium's melting point is 1667Β°C. Your little arm can only reach 1000 Β°C." Douglas mocks, making Mia withdraw the flame in her arm.

"What do you want with us this time, Douglas?" Bree asks glaring at him.

"Oh no, I'm not falling for that. First I tell you my plan, then something goes wrong, then you use it against me, not gonna happen!" Douglas shouts.

"It doesn't matter what you're planning. I'm sure that Mr. Davenport is looking for us already. He'll be here any minute to take us home." Chase says glaring at Douglas.

"Oh yeah, there's no place like home. No, seriously. There's no place like home. I blew it up!" Douglas chuckles, showing them a picture of the destroyed lab on his tablet.

"You destroyed our lab?" Adam gasps glaring at him.

"Yup. Hope you backed up your music libraries." Douglas mocks walking over to his desk.

"Please don't text "Hurry Home" When we're in a helicopter, I left my lunch all over the Rosenblatts' roof." Leo groans as he and Donald run into the house.

"So what happened? Where are the kids?" Tasha asks,

"Douglas got to them before we did." Donald sighs.

"Your brother, again? Okay, you are done complaining about my mother." Tasha groans glaring at him.

"We have no idea where they are, but they're smart, they will figure out a way to escape...Well, two of them will." Donald mutters.

"I do have some good news. The FBI finished their investigation and proved you were cyberhacked." Tasha says.

"So I'm getting all my money back?" Donald asks, an excited look on his face.

"No. All the money was stolen, you're still broke." Tasha sighs, a sad look on her face.

"But I'm getting all my stuff back, right? My boats, my cars, my planes?" Donald asks, hoping for a yes.

"Just the house. But the good news is that now we can all move back in together!" Tasha chuckles hugging Leo and smiling at him.

"Not even like a jet-ski or a motorcycle with one wheel?" Donald mutters.

"So what are you going to do about the kids?" Tasha asks, changing back to the important issue at hand.

"Well, they're not gonna come back here because they still don't think it's safe. I just with there was some way we could get a message to them and let them know everything's alright." Leo sighs.

"Well the only thing I can do remotely is update Chase's software. Wait. Maybe that's it! Maybe I can embed a cyber message into the update. Leo, find us a computer!" Donald gasps.

"Got it!" Leo shouts running off, not really sure where to start looking.

"Is there anything I can do?" Tasha asks turning to Donald.

"Tasha, now is not the time for jokes." Donald says before walking off.

"I can't believe the lab is gone. That's our home." Bree gasps.

"If anything happened to our family I will end you!" Chase snaps glaring at Douglas.

"Yeah! Then we'll put your body in an old-lady dress so everyone laughs during your funeral." Adam mocks, making his siblings give him a weird look.

"Guys, guys, I understand you're mad. But what's done is done! So let's focus on moving forward together. First order of business, what do you say we make mondays family game night?" Douglas suggests.

"You kidnapped me three times!" Mia snaps glaring at him.

"Actually, two times! You willingly came with me during that avalanche!" Douglas shouts back.

"I was cold, in shock and dying. It's not exactly willingly." Mia says as Douglas walks off.

"Guys, something's happening to me. I'm getting a tingling sensation." Chase gasps.

"Aw, you here that Bree? Pretty soon he'll have a baby mustache." Adam chuckles.

"Aw!" Bree gasps touching Chase's cheek, making him glare at her.

"No! I'm getting a software update on my chip. That's really weird. Why would I just- Wait. Mr. Davenport must be trying to send us a message." Chase gasps.

"Well show us then!" Mia shouts before Chase projects it in front of them, showing a hologram of Mr Davenport.

"Guys, Leo and I are doing everything we can to find you. But if you can escape, come home. Perry has agreed to keep your bionics a secret." Donald explains before the projection fades away.

"Mr. Davenport's okay!" Chase gasps.

"Was he wearing guy-liner?" Bree asks.

"Yes, yes he was." Mia mutters.

"Now we just have to find a way to get out of here." Chase sighs.

"Well I can't melt 'em, Adam what have you got?" Mia asks turning to her brother.

"What if I use my blast wave abilities to destroy the rings?" Adam suggests.

"But if you do that, you'll destroy the rings and everything around us- including us!" Bree shouts.

"But we'll be free." Adam says, pulling a 'duh' face.

"Here's an idea: How 'bout we come up with a plan where we escape and survive?" Chase suggests.

"Bree, any ideas?" Mia asks turning to her sister.

"One. If these rings are titanium, can't Chase just use his magnetism app to repel them apart?" Bree asks.

"Douglas would expect that, just like he would expect me to use my molecular kinesis to manipulate them." Chase sighs.

"So do both. He wouldn't expect that." Adam says with a shrug.

"Adam, you can't use two abilities at the same time." Chase says.

"Why not?" Bree asks.

"Because...I don't know. We've never tried it before." Chase sighs.

"Well, I say you try it now and if your head explodes, the survivors will move on to Plan B." Adam says pointing to himself, Mia and Bree.

"Yeah, I say we use Adam's head." Mia says.

"Okay. I'll give it a try. Activating Magnetism App." Chase says activating his magnetism app, making his siblings step back slightly.

"And Molecularkinesis." He mutters, making his siblings cover their heads.

"Focus, Chase!" Adam shouts, making Chase drop his hands and lose his focus.

"When you tell me to focus it makes me not focus!" Chase snaps lifting his hands up again.

"You can do it!" Bree adds.

"Stop talking!" He snaps glaring at them.

"I believe in you Chase!" Mia cheers, making Chase sharply glare at her.

He turns back to the rings and focuses again. He concentrates all of his power and repels the ring apart, freeing he and his siblings.

"Way to go Chase!" Bree gasps smiling at him.

"Oh, man. Thought for sure his head was gonna explode." Adam groans.

"You owe me 10 bucks." Mia says, just as Chase falls to the floor.

"Eh, that's better than nothing." Adam mutters.

"You still owe me 10 bucks." Mia chuckles.

"Help me carry him." Bree says grabbing onto Chase foot.

"Oh, wait. He's light. I got it." She says as Adam and Mia walk out of the room, her dragging Chase behind them.

They had escaped! That was good, right?

"They escaped!" Krane growls as he and Douglas walk back into the lair.

"Doesn't matter. While they were knocked out, I reinstalled their Triton App. I'll finally be able to override their bionic infrastructure, remotely." Douglas explains.

"This better work. I paid you a lot of money for your little Triton App." Krane groans glaring at him.

"Oh, it'll work. Get ready. 'Cause you're about to find out what this Triton App can really do. Adam, Bree, Chase and Mia are completely under my control." Douglas chuckles, a small smirk on his face.

"Still no word from the kids?" Tasha asks as Donald and Leo walk into the living room.

"No." Donald sighs walking over to her.

"You're a tech wiz. Isn't there something else you can do, like send them a text alert, or friend request, or have them paged?" Tasha asks, showing how clueless she is about technology.

"I'll be honest, sometimes I wonder how you two ended up together." Leo says walking into the kitchen.

"Look, all we can do is hope they got the cyber message. Until then, we just have to wait." Donald sighs.

"We're home!" Bree shouts as she and her siblings walk into the house.

"Well, that didn't take long." Leo chuckles running over.

"Oh, I'm so glad you're safe. I was so worried." Tasha sighs as they all exchange hugs.

"You guys okay?" Donald asks.

"We're fine, but Douglas has a new partner." Chase says.

"Eh, give it six months. Big one's super high maintenance." Adam says with a shrug.

"He's some crazy billionaire named Victor Krane, and he's implanting himself with bionics. He's strong. I tried to attack him and he totally overpowered me." Mia explains sitting down on the couch.

"Krane must be the guy who helped your brother escape from the warehouse!" Leo gasps.

"I've never even heard of him, but I'm gonna find out who he is and how to stop him." Donald says walking over to the kitchen.

"You guys must be starving. I'll get dinner started." Tasha says walking into the kitchen, the four older teens following her.

"Look at this. Things are finally getting back to normal." Leo sighs looking around the room.

Little did he know, it was getting back to normal. Mia's eyes turned a deep shade of green. Yet no one had noticed.

"Mia's Triton App is up and running. Once I activate Adam, Bree and Chase, they'll do whatever we want. Time to have some fun. Chest bump!" Douglas chuckles trying to chest bump Krane, only to fall to the floor and get ignored.

"You know what? I'll just activate Adam, Bree and Chase. I'm fine, by the way." He mutters getting back up.

"Then the lab blew up and we got trapped in the elevator. Big D confided his deepest secrets with me. Hiding you four in the basement, not even top ten." Leo explains as they all sit on the couch, Mia facing directly in front.

She gets up and glares at Leo, causing him to notice the colour of her eyes.

"Hey, what's up with your eyes?" Leo asks as she generates a small fireball in her hand, moving in dangerously close to his face.

"Mia! Don't melt me!" Leo gasps as Adam, Bree and Chase's eyes turn green.

"The fridge is empty, why don't I just whip up a little tuna surprise?" Tasha suggests walking to Donald.

Adam runs over to him and shoves him to the ground, glaring at Tasha as he does.

"Adam, don't throw him. You know how delicate your father is." She sighs giving him a look.

"What's happening?!" Leo shouts as Chase lifts him up, Mia's flame still approaching his face.

"Douglas must've enabled their triton app! Look at their eyes, he's controlling them!" Donald gasps.

"Mom look out!" Leo shouts as Bree super speeds at her, just missing her as she ducks under the counter.

"Forget the tuna! I'm about to open up a can of Bree surprise!" Tasha snaps as Bree gets back up, making her scream and run out of the room.

"Run!" Leo shouts running out after her, Donald following close behind.

"Your brother figured that out pretty quickly." Krane mutters as he and Douglas watch the battle at the Davenport house.

"I know, he's a genius. Been hearing it my whole life. But I'm a genius too. With much better hair." Douglas mutters.

"I didn't pay you 80 million dollars for your hair!" Krane snaps.

"Would it kill you to crack a smile? Actually, it might. Your pretty wired up there." Douglas mutters, making Krane glare at him.

"Its time to end this." Krane says reaching for the device, only for it to get snatched away by Douglas.

"Only I touch the device." He mutters, making Krane glare at him again.

"I think we lost them." Donald whispers as he, Tasha and Leo stand by the elevator doors.

Adam walks out of the elevator, making them all scream and run back into the living room as he chases after them.

"Why are they trying to hurt us!?" Tasha snaps glaring at Donald.

"Its not them, its Douglas! Let's get out of here!" Donald shouts trying to run for the door.

Before they reach the door Chase uses his molecularkinesis to push a crate in front of the door, blocking their way out. They try to run for the other door, but Bree super speeds in their way as Mia shoots a bolt of electricity at them, just about missing them.

"Okay, you and your brother just need to hug this out!" Leo snaps glaring at Donald.

Leo runs towards the door, Mia running right behind him.

"Why aren't you going after someone else? Your supposed to be my best friend!" Leo shouts as Mia corners him.

Mia holds her two hands down, charging up two bolts of electricity in them ready to fire at Leo.

"No! Mia, no!" Leo shouts.

"Donald! Do something!" Tasha snaps as they hide behind the counter.

"Mia, don't fire! Listen to me! The triton app only controls your bionics! Not your human side! You have to fight it!" Donald shouts.

"Yes, Mia! Remember?! All the great times we've had! Remember when we snuck into Marcus' lair! You saved my life! Remember when we tried to snap Spike out of it and he threw you into that popcorn sculpture?!" Leo shouts, making Mia give him a confused look and charge up more of her power.

"Well they weren't exactly great! But we did them together! Its not working!" He shouts as Mia continues to charge up her power.

"Keep trying, it's our only chance!" Donald shouts back.

"I'm the one who showed you the real world Mia! I'm the one who you can talk too when you don't want Adam, Bree and Chase to worry! Do you remember when we won the robot throw down with Chase? Oh, I still have the picture!" Leo shouts pulling out his phone and showing her the picture, making her scowl drop for a moment.

"Mia, you have to remember!" Donald shouts.

"Come on Mia! You don't want to hurt me! You don't hurt people you care about! I know my sister is in there! Where is she, Mia?! Where is my sister?!" Leo shouts desperately.

Mia raises her hands and puts the bolts of electricity together, forming one huge electrical ball. She prepares to throw it when her eyes turn back to brown, snapping her back to reality. She throws the electricity ball above Leo's head before falling to the ground, passed out.

"Oh come on!" Douglas shouts as he watches the events on his laptop, frustrated with the results.

"I'm beginning to think I backed the wrong Davenport." Krane says pacing around Donald.

"You know, some partners would actually encourage each other." Douglas sighs, making Krane glare at him.

"I know what I'm doing! We're still in control! Adam, Bree, Chase, take care of Mia! Happy?!" Douglas snaps snatching the device from Krane.

"Do I look happy?!" Krane snaps glaring at him.

"You know, I can never tell with you." Douglas says, making Krane glare at him even more.

"My head is killing me! What happened?!" Mia groans as Tasha, Donald and Leo help her up.

"It was Douglas' triton app." Leo says.

"She probably doesn't remember anything." Donald mutters as Adam, Bree and Chase run over, their eyes still glowing green.

"Chase? What's going on? Why are your eyes glowing?" Mia asks, a confused look on her face.

"Douglas is controlling them. You have to fight back." Donald explains.

"But I can't fight them, their my-." Mia says before Adam fires his heat vision at her, knocking her into the wall.

"Fight!" Leo shouts as he, Donald and Tasha run behind the couch.

Mia runs forward and freezes Bree's feet to the floor, temporarily containing her. Chase runs at her and uses his molecularkinesis to lift her off the ground, choking in the air.

"Chase! No!" Leo shouts as Adam thaws Bree out.

Chase releases Mia, causing her to drop to the ground like a sack of potatoes.

"I need Chase to snap out of it! He's the only one smart enough to stop them!" Mia shouts as she gets back up.

"No Mia! Your smart enough to fix this! You just have to outsmart them!" Donald shouts back.

That's when Mia gets an idea. All she has to do is outsmart Douglas.

"I just need to make sure Chase doesn't use his override app on me! Then he would be able to control me as well!" Mia sighs, putting on her best acting.

She knows if she can get Chase to use his override app on Bree or Adam, it will override the effects of the Triton App. She needed one of her siblings to help her.

Mia runs over to Bree and starts to fight her off as Chase aims his override app at her. When she sees it working, she ducks out of the way, causing Chase to use the override app on Bree. Bree's eyes turn brown and she falls to the ground in exhaustion, finally snapped out of the Triton App.

"Yes!" Mia gasps as Bree slowly gets up.

"Mia, what's going on?" Bree asks, just as Adam grabs Mia and throws her into the wall.

"Adam! What are you doing?!" Bree snaps running to her brother.

"Bree! There's no time to explain! Distract Adam while I deal with Chase!" Mia orders as she forces herself up.

Bree listens to Mia and starts running around Adam, trapping him in a cyclone and keeping him at bay.

"Chase! Snap out of it! This isn't you!" Mia shouts as Chase walks towards her, a small smirk on his face.

"Chase, listen to her! Your smart, you can beat this! Just listen!" Donald shouts from the side.

"He's right Chase! Your my brother, you don't want to hurt me! Remember that conversation we had after the Avalanche! You told me I wasn't a bad person! Nor are you! Chase, please!" Mia begs as Chase corners her.

Chase looks at her for a moment with a pained look.

"Come on Chase! Don't do this! Please!" Mia shouts desperately.

Chase's eyes flicker back to green and he falls to the floor, groaning slightly as he hits the floor.

"Mia! Hurry! I can't hold Adam off for much longer!" Bree shouts from the other side of the room.

"Chase! Wake up!" Mia shouts kneeling down beside him and slapping him around the face.

"Mia! Quit it!" He groans as he gets up.

"Chase! No time to explain! Override app! Adam! Go!" Mia shouts shoving him towards Adam, who has broke free from Bree's cyclone.

Chase quickly uses his override app on Adam, causing his eyes to turn brown as he drops to the floor.

"You did it!" Donald shouts as he, Leo and Tasha run over.

"Woo! We did it!" Mia groans as she falls to the floor in exhaustion.

"What happened?" Adam asks walking over, clutching the side of his head tightly.

"I'm sure Mia will fill you in when she wakes up." Leo chuckles.

"No!" Both Douglas and Krane shout as Adam falls to the floor, their plan officially a failure.

"I think we underestimated that daughter of yours. She's smarter than she looks." Krane mutters.

"I can fix this. I'll just, update the triton app." Douglas says as Krane glares at him.

"Do it! And when your done, destroy Adam, Bree, Chase and Mia." Krane orders.

"What? But that was never part of my plan." Douglas gasps.

"Your plan? Your plan is done. We're going with my plan now." Krane cackles throwing the table away and walking off.

What had Douglas done?

"This Krane guy seems dangerous. With him and Douglas still out there we're all gonna have to watch our backs more than ever." Donald sighs as he and his family stand in the elevator.

"Quick question, is anyone on your side of the family not a deranged maniac?" Bree asks.

"Cause if so, can I move in with them?" Mia adds, making Donald glare at her.

"Hey, don't glare at the girl who just saved your life!" She shouts holding her hands up in surrender.

"Do you guys remember anything that happened when that triton thing was going?" Tasha asks.

"Tasha, we just go home. What's with the third degree?" Adam scoffs as the elevator dings.

"Guys, what you're about to see is pretty disturbing." Donald sighs as the elevator door opens, revealing the destroyed lab.

They all walk in silently, everyone to shocked to say anything.

"Wow." Bree mutters, not sure what else to say.

"I built this place to protect you and I couldn't even do that. I'm sorry." Donald sighs.

"I'm going to destroy Krane and Douglas for this! They aren't going to get away with this!" Mia shouts as she looks around the room.

"I'm sorry I failed you guys." Donald mutters.

"You didn't fail us. If you hadn't brought us together as a family and let us live without normal kids, we would never have been able to defeat the Triton App." Chase explains.

"Thanks guys. Your right, I am handsome and brilliant." Donald says wrapping his arms around Tasha and Chase.

"I didn't-." Chase mutters.

"Let him go. It's how he copes." Leo says as they all share a group hug.

"I love you guys!" Mia cries.

"Are you crying?" Bree asks giving her a strange look.

"Yeah, I think Adam broke me when he threw me at the wall." Mia groans clutching her arm.

No matter what happened, they all still had each other. That was something Douglas didn't have.
