Freya sat on the couch with her foot on the couch, using a theraband on her foot. She was trying to do exercises with it, but even the slight movement caused her pain.

Freya frowned as she attempted to do the exercise and groaned. "Ow."

She let go of the band and tossed her in the floor. She leaned her head back on the pillow and covered her face for a moment. She lowered her hands seconds later and stared at her foot. It definitely looked a lot better than before, but still was swollen and was purple and blue. She hated looking at it, it caused her so many painful memories.

Now that Freya knows Sebastian was the cause of the rebellion, she believes he messed with the training simulator and tried to take Freya out. No other explanation.

Cinnamon hopped on the couch and curled up next to Freya, who smiled.

"Hi, baby." She greeted, petting the cat. "I wish you could heal my foot. Would make me feel better."

Freya is scared. She won't admit it, but she is scared her foot won't heal fully and she won't be able to go on missions. She hasn't used her bionics much or done anything. She feels hopeless and useless.

Freya feels like she won't be a bionic hero again. She's scared she won't get back to where she was before.

Speaking of missions, the bionic heroes are gonna mission right now and Juliet finally went in her first mission. It was a forest fire and Chase needed her to go to control the fire from spreading more.

Juliet is getting better with her bionics and the confidence is growing, but she still has the fears in the back of her mind. Fire can be dangerous and Juliet doesn't want to harm anyone or herself.

Freya hates feeling useless. It was like when she felt dumb and not good enough for Chase before, but now she feels useless and still not good enough. Not just for Chase, just for the team in general. She wonders why he is trying to help her heal and get better when it's worthless.

Freya turns her head on the couch and cuddles her cat, beginning to softly cry.

~Mainland; Forest~

The bionic heroes just finished saving everyone from the burning forest. Juliet was a huge from stabilizing the fire so it wouldn't spread and also using her superspeed to save some people. Juliet actually felt confident in herself and got over her fear.

"Adam, I did it." Juliet told her boyfriend, going up to him.

"Did what?" He frowned.

"I went on my first mission." Juliet smiled.

"Oh, right." He nodded with a smile and put his arm around her. "Well, congratulations, love."

He kissed her cheek and she smiled.

Bree was the last one to join the group outside of the fire. "All right, that's the last few. Everybody's safe, including one very ungrateful grizzly." A bear growls in the distance. "Oh, shut it!"

Chase nodded, satisfied. "The Fire Department can handle things from here. Great work, guys."

The crowd cheers and surrounds the heroes, getting autographs and pictures.

"Ah, life is so much better now we don't have to keep our missions a secret." Adam remarked as he signed an autograph. Juliet even signed a few, which made her feel good.

Leo nodded. "I know. Now people can tell us how great we are right to our faces."

Chase suddenly got hit with a giant wave of sadness, but he tried his best not to show it physically. He doesn't know how or where that came from, but it very strange. This had happened before and it started when Freya became depressed. He continued to have a smile plastered in his face.

Crowd starts chanting. "Adam, Bree, and Chase! Adam, Bree, and Chase!"

Juliet shrugged, not really caring. It was her first mission, she didn't expect people to know who she was.

Leo stood in shock when he didn't hear his name. "Are you kidding me? I've been going on missions for over a month. How can these people not know my name?"

"Maybe you should change it to something people won't forget, like, uh, Gregorio Spiridakis, or Pickles O'Malley." Adam suggested, placing a hand on his girlfriend's lower back.

Leo rolled his eyes and turned to to the crowd. "Can I have your attention, please? I'd like to point out that Adam, Bree, and Chase weren't the only heroes. I personally saved six people and Juliet here saved 5."

"Juliet is also very pretty and can control fire!" Adam added in and the crowd exchanged looks of amazment. Juliet blushed, brushing her hair back flattered.

Crowd started chanting again. "Adam, Bree, Chase, Juliet, and that guy! Adam, Bree, Chase, Juliet, and that guy!"

"They know my name!" Juliet smiled, feeling flattered as Leo had an annoyed expression on his face.

"All right, the six I saved, back in the fire." Leo threatened.

~Monroe Living Quarters~

Freya was still on the couch, but she had given up on physical therapy and was watching television. Juliet walked in with happy smile and Freya noticed her sister.

"Hey, how was the mission?" Freya asked as Juliet went into her capsule to change clothes.

"Great!" Juliet yelled from her capsule and Freya nodded, not really looking away from the screen. Juliet stepped out in her normal uniform and sat next to her sister. "My fire was super useful. It was a forest fire and I was able to stop the fire from spreading. I also saved five people."

Freya finally looked at her with a soft smile. "That's great. Proud of you for facing your fear."

"I am too." Juliet giddily said and Freya let out a tiny chuckle.

Freya is happy she sister is doing well. She can't help but envy her however.

Juliet cleared her throat, changing the subject. "How's the foot?"

Freya had continued to let the foot be free from the boot and had ice on it. "Being a foot. I don't know."

Freya let out an exhale and Juliet looked at her sister, whose eyes were again glued to the screen.

"Have you done any exercises with the foot?" Juliet asked her.

"Yeah." Freya nodded, still having a blank expression on her face.

"Okie." Juliet replied, feeling lot of tension in the air suddenly. Freya is usually not this dry when talking and Juliet knows something is wrong.

"Hey, you do know you can talk to me about anything, right?" Juliet told her sister, who glanced at her.

"Mhmm." Freya nodded with a forced smile. "I know."

Juliet watched as Freya returned her gaze to the screen. The red head looked at her sister with confusion as Chase walked in.

"Hey, girls." He greeted them and Freya turned to Chase with a soft smile.

"Hi, Chasey." She greeted, laying her chin on the back of of the couch and he kissed her forehead.

"Good job, today." Chase praised Juliet, high fiving her. "Did Juliet tell you about the mission?"

Freya nodded, feeling jealousy. "Yes. She did."

Juliet noticed Freya's demeanor change suddenly from happy to sad in a matter of seconds.

"I'm gonna let you two have some couple time." Juliet offered and walked out of the room without another word.

Freya frowned at her sister's fast exit as Chase sat next to Freya, putting his arm around the blonde.

"How are you doing?" Chase asked Freya.

Like my whole world is ending. Freya couldn't tell Chase that however.

"I'm okay." She replied, resting her head on his toned chest. Freya has noticed how muscular Chase has been getting and she doesn't mind at all.

Chase was still have that feeling of sorrow and depression in him. It continued to grow as he got physically closer to Freya and it confused him.

"So, have you started doing any exercises?" Chase asked. He noticed some therabands on the coffee table.

"I tried. But it hurts." Freya remarked, playing with the zipper on Chase's mentor jacket.

"Well, you have to keep trying if you want to heel." Chase advised her and Freya blew out a raspberry.

"I'll try more tomorrow." Freya sighed, dismissing Chase.

"Babe, you need to try harder." Chase protested. "Come on."

Chase made Freya sit up and she groaned, rubbing her eyes. "Chase..."

Chase grabbed the theraband and handed it to Freya, who reluctantly took it from him. She sighed as she put it on her foot again and Chase beckoned her to start.

"Well?" Chase asked when Freya wasn't moving.

"Chase, it hurts." Freya remarked.

"The more you do it, the less it will hurt." Chase assured her, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Come on."

Freya let out an exhale, before carefully starting the exercise. She did one movement and winced in pain, stopping. "Ow. See."

Chase looked at his girlfriend worriedly, watching her face scrunch up in pain. "Babe?"

"What?" Freya sighed, removing the theraband from her foot and leaning back.

"What's wrong?" He asked her, turning her body to him, and grabbing her hand.

"My foot hurts." Freya shrugged dismissively.

Chase gave her a look, not believing her. "That's not all of it. There is something else."

Freya shook her head, moving her shift away from Chase. Her throat got tight, beginning to feel tears form up in her eyes, but she blinked them away.

"It's just my foot, don't worry." She assured her in a quiet voice.

Chase could feel the pain and sorrow Freya was in. It was the strongest it had ever been and he wanted to fix it, because he hated how depressed she had been.

"Rey. Look at me," Chase leaned forward slightly and she hook her head, squeezing her eyes shut more, not wanting tears to fall. "Please."

Freya exhaled from her nose, hating how she couldn't tell Chase how she felt. She wants to tell him, but she is scared.

"I'm fine." She weakly replied and Chase gently touched her chin, slowly turning her face to him. Freya's breath hitched at the action and Chase's heart broke at the sight of her face. her cheeks were bright red and her eyes were glossy from the tears.

"You are not fine." Chase shook his head, gently taking her face in her hands. Freya's mind started to calm down at Chase's gentle and warm touch. His hands were callused yet moisturized and soft, she loved the feeling he gave her.

"Chase, it's nothing-"

"No, its not nothing." He firmly told her and she sniffled, barely able to keep her composer. She wanted to burst out sobbing and cry in his arms for hours, but she couldn't do that. "What is going on?"

"I'm sorry." She muttered in a fragile voice. "It's hard to talk about for me. I want to, but I don't feel ready. I'm sorry."

Chase listened and understood her reasoning. He would never push her to do something she wasn't comfortable doing.

"Whenever you are ready, I'll be here." Chase assured her, rubbing her cheek with his thumb and Freya nodded.

"Thank you." She exhaled a sigh of relief, letting a small smile form.

"I'll always be here." He promised with a soft smile, before gently kissing her lips.

"Me too." She remarked as they pulled away and Chase let go of her face, pulling her into his embrace and cuddled on the couch.

Chase smiled when he felt Freya's emotion turn from sorrow to relaxation and love. Chase's eyes grew slightly when he felt the sudden emotion of love from Freya and looked down to see she was focused on the TV. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion, he had never thought of love before, because he had never been in love. He isn't sure what love feels like, but the emotion from Freya radiated strongly from her.

Freya sighed contently as her eyes closed. I love you, Chase

Do I love Freya? Chase was confused. He felt conflicted about how he felt.

~Mainland~

Another mission alert came in not to long after their last one. Adam, Chase, Leo, and Juliet rush up to an elderly lady, who was looking up a tree. They were in a park on the mainland.

"We got a mission alert from this address, ma'am. What's the emergency?" Chase asked the elderly woman.

"And don't panic, because Adam, Chase, Juliet, and Leo are here." Leo added in and Juliet rolled her eyes.

"She's old, she probably doesn't know any of our names." Juliet muttered to Leo, who rose his eye brows with a shrug.

The woman pointed up at the tree where a raccoon was. "My cat, Colonel Cuddles, ran up this tree. Can you please get him down?"

Juliet looked up, squinting her eyes at the sight of the animal. "I don't know if that's a cat?"

Adam leaned toward Chase, irritated. "I don't think it classifies as a mission if we can be replaced by a ladder. I mean, seriously, we're rescuing a cat from a tree?"

Chase gestured to the raccoon in the tree. "No. We're rescuing a racoon from a tree."

Adam looked up and smiled. "Aw, cute. He's chewing on that sleeping squirrel."

"Ew." Juliet scrunched her nose.

Chase's phone beeps and he looks at it. "Guys, I just got five new mission alerts."

"How?" Juliet asked in shock, looking at his phone.

Leo grinned, confidentlh. "Sounds like five more opportunities for this guy to be a hero."

"Or five more times for you to be forgotten about." Juliet joked and Leo glared at her as Adam snickered.

Chase beckoned the team to go. "Come on, let's go!"

The women called out to them. "Wait! What about my cat?"

Juliet jogged back over to her with a huff. "It's at your feet, ma'am, where it's been the whole time."

Juliet gestures to the cat next her. The cat meows.

"Oh." The woman looked down and Juliet winked, before rushing off.

——

~Mentors Living Quarters~

Freya sat on the couch waiting for the team to return from their fifteen missions. Freya was as hearing all about it from her sister and Chase about all the useless missions. Freya has realize what was going on when she noticed Leo's business cards on the table and the commercial she stumbled upon the earlier.

It didn't take long for the team to trudge into the room, exhausted.

Chase was first to walk in and tossed his bag down. "Fifteen straight missions and not real emergency. What a waste of my immense talent and unique skill set."

Freya grinned, snickering. "Aw, my poor baby."

Chase gave her a sarcastic grin and kissed her head.

Bree shrugged. "Yeah, I don't know which mission was more annoying, the lady who ran out of gas, or the guy who didn't know which side dish to order."

Freya leaned her arm on the couch. "I can't believe he went with the mashed potatoes over the tater tots."

"That's what I said." Juliet agreed.

Adam put his arm around his girlfriend. "I know what was annoying. The lady who ran out of gas. I had to watch her push her car for two miles."

"Funny how the strongest man in the world stood there and watched." Juliet raised her eyebrows at him, and Adam chuckled. Chase sat down beside Freya, putting his arm around her, and she leaned into him.

"Guys, I feel proud to spend time with our adoring public. Now if you'll excuse me, America's newest bionic hero is about to get busy with some baby grapes." Leo walks to the counter to grab a bowl of grapes. Freya folded her arms, frowning in confusion at her best friend.

Bree sat down next to Freya. "I don't get it. How did all those people know how to contact us?"

Adam shrugged. "It's easy. You just touch a bunch of numbers until someone says hello."

"If I got that many calls, I would throw my phone into the ocean," Juliet remarked and Freya grinned amusingly.

"I'd go nuts." Freya chuckled. Chase leaned forward when he noticed a card on his bag.

Chase picked up a card. "Guys, I think I know what's going on. Look." Chase shows them a business card advertising 'Leo Dooley's Bionic Superhumans.'

"What?" Freya frowned, taking the card. "I am no one's Bionic Superhuman."

Bree looked at the others in disbelief. "How could he do that?"

"Well, there's a printer, there's a copy shop. A ton of places online." Adam explained.

"Not what she meant," Juliet told her boyfriend, patting his chest. "Alright, give me the card, so I can burn it."

"Gladly." Freya picked up the card and handed it to her sister.

Leo walked back over to them and sat in the chair. "Ah, the life of a bionic hero. Am I right, people?"

Adam, Bree, Chase, and Juliet walked over to Leo as Freya sat up on the couch. Bree chuckled. "Yeah. Nothing says bionic hero like cheap business cards."

Juliet showed him the card. "This was the best you got?"

Leo pressed his lips together. "They had to be cheap. How else was I supposed to afford 10,000 of them?"

"Good to know I can burn it-"

"No!" Leo exclaimed, putting his hand out.

"Oh calm down, you still have 9,999 more!" Freya scoffed, rolling her eyes.

"Why would you do this?" Chase asked.

Leo shrugged. "I just wanted people to know I was part of the team."

"Wait, did they airbrush your biceps?" Bree asked, looking at the awful airbrushing on the card's design.

"No." Leo denied and grinned "I did."

"That explains the awful card design." Juliet grinned with a chuckle.

"This was a terrible idea, Leo," Chase exclaimed with irritation.

"Relax. It's just a few business cards." Leo assured him and gasped at his tablet. "Look! My commercial's on."

Leo shows his tablet screen to the four. Freya shook her head, leaning back with her hand on her forehead. "Tell me when the torture is over."

In the commercial were five cardboard cutouts of Adam, Bree, Chase, Juliet, and Freya as Leo was standing there talking with a backdrop of a forest fire behind them. "Hello. My name is Leo Dooley. Are you the victim of an accident or terrible disaster? If so, great. I can help."

Leo nudged Bree excitedly. "That's me. I'm Leo Dooley."

"And I have a headache." Juliet sighed against Adam's arm.

Commercial Leo continued. "My bionic team can solve any life-threatening situation. And remember the Leo Dooley promise. If I don't save your life, your next mission is free. Call now." Commercial Leo bumped cardboard Adam and fixed it as a voiceover spoke with a phone number popping up on the screen. "Not responsible for any injuries caused during actual rescue."

"Is it over?" Freya asked, lowering her hand from her face and sitting up.

"Yes," Juliet told her.

Bree shot up. "Leo, I can't believe you did that!"

"Am I allowed to burn a person?" Juliet asked and Leo gave her a wide-eyed stare.

Adam frowned. "I can't believe no one told me we were charging for missions. Where's my cut?"

"We don't charge for missions." Chase objected and turned to Bree. "Do we?"

Bree scoffed. "No."

"We could start." Freya shrugged and this got a glare from Bree, Chase, and Juliet.

"Leo, that is not cool." Chase protested.

"Relax. It's just one little commercial and it's only run once." Leo assured them as he stood up, facing them.

"Hola. Me llamo Leo Dooley-"

Before the commercial could finish, Freya snatched the tablet and electrocuted it making it short-circled.

"Ah!" Leo yelped and Freya tossed the tablet down. "That was harsh."

"She did what we were all thinking." Juliet nodded with her lips pressed together and the bionic trio agreed.

——

~Common Area~

Later, Adam, Bree, Chase, Juliet, and Freya were in the Common Area, watching mission alerts pop up on the monitor. Freya was sitting on a stool, leaning her head on Chase's arm.

"We've got mission alerts coming in from all over the country. There's no way we can handle them all." Adam explained to the group. "I told you we should've opened up a Candian branch."

"Great. Now that you've opened up a phone number the whole world has direct access to us." Chase remarked.

Leo smirked. "That's right. Worldwide, baby."

"The urge I have to burn you right now!" Juliet exclaimed and Leo leaned back, frowning at the redhead.

"We have no way to differentiate between a real emergency and some guy who can't find one of his shoes." Bree mentioned.

"I'm sorry. I panicked." Adam apologized. "Next time, I'll check my feet first."

"Check your feet." Freya sat up, looking back at him.

Adam gasped, looking down, and sighed with relief. "I'm good."

Freya turned back with a soft grin.

"Okay, well, what are we gonna do?" Juliet asked, looking at Chase for an answer. "I bet most of these aren't even legit missions."

"We don't have a choice. We have to ignore some of them, and let the local authorities handle it." Chase informed them.

Freya looked down, hating that she agreed with Chase. She fears that one of the ones they ignore is a serious mission and she could not bear the thought of someone dying cause they ignored their mission.

"You can't do that." Leo protested. "I made a promise to help people, in two languages, and I'm working on a third for my Chinese friends. When people call, they expect Leo Dooley to show up."

"But with bigger biceps." Bree patted Leo's arm.

"Or biceps," Freya added with a sly grin.

"That's the sixth false alarm from Highland Hills today." Chase pointed at the country map.

"Leo, I want to help, but it isn't physically possible to do this." Juliet apologized to Leo.

"Yeah, sorry, Leo. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me four, five, six times. I'm going home." Adam shrugged.

"So, you're just gonna blow it off?" Leo asked them, impatiently.

"We have to. We don't have the manpower." Chase reasoned.

"I guess I'm going to Hyland Hills alone." Leo declared and turned, but stopped. "But I better hurry, that place is scary after dark."

Leo walked away, but Adam stopped him. "Hey, if anything goes wrong, you can always call the guy with big biceps, but uh, prepare to be disappointed."

Leo glared at Adam as he snatched the card and marched away.

Freya looked at her boyfriend. "Carry me to my room?"

"You should start trying to be more active," Chase remarked and she gave him a sad look.

"Please?" She begged and grinned smugly. "Can my strong and smart boyfriend carry me?"

Chase couldn't help but smile at her compliment and gave in. "Okay."

Freya giggled as Chase picked her up. She kissed his cheek and he gave her a soft smile.

"Thank you!"

~Monroe Living Quarters~

Juliet and Freya were watching Criminal Minds in their room when Chase walked in with his mission bag.

"More mission alerts. We should grab more gear, Juliet." Chase told the redhead who groaned and stood up.

"I will burn Dooley to a crisp." Juliet snapped as she walked by Chase and out of the room.

Freya's eyes sparkled at the sight of Chase and she smiled at him. "Ya know as awful as all these missions are, it sure is great for me."

"How so?" Chase asked leaning on the back of the couch and she leaned her chin on her arms.

"It's free eye candy," Freya smirked and Chase blushed bright red, making her giggle. "Dang, you are hot."

Chase blinked a few times, speechless and Freya grinned at his flustered face.

"Uh..." Chase sat up with his entire face red and adjusted his suit. "You think so?"

"Oh yeah," Freya nodded and winked. "Now, go save the world."

"Yes- uh, I-, uh, will do that." Chase cleared his throat and Freya turned away, looking at the screen with a smirk. Freya could sense Chase's flustered feeling and she giggled softly. "See ya later!"

Freya giggled at Chase's voice crack. He kissed her cheek before he walked out of the room, still flustered.

"Boys are so easy." Freya chuckled to herself.

——

~Common Area~

After changing back into her mission suit, Juliet followed Chase into the Common Area where Adam, Spin, and Bob were answering mission alert calls.

"Come on, Adam we have to go." Chase beckoned.

Adam put his hand up, protesting. "Hold on. Can I take a real call? The only one I've had so far was Leo."

"Wait, what?" Juliet frowned.

"Leo called the emergency line?" Chase asked, exchanging a look with Juliet.

"Yeah, something about a helicopter hangin' off the side of a building. Blah, blah, blah." Adam trailed off, oblivious to the danger Leo was in. Adam turned away and spoke to the caller. "Hello, this is Adam. How can I help you?"

Juliet whacked her boyfriend's arm. "He must really be in trouble. Let's go!"

Adam leaned away from the red head. "I'll be right there. I'm dealing with an emergency too."

Juliet looked at Chase for help and he shrugged, before the two rolled their eyes and rushed off in a hurry.

Adam continued to talk to the caller. "I am so sorry your flight was canceled, ma'am. Now, do you mind if we reroute you through Salt Lake City?"

——

~Hyland Hills~

Adam, Bree, and Chase run through the door that led to a roof on a building. Leo was seen dangling from the end of the helicopter that was balancing on the edge of the roof.

Leo cried out. "Help!"

"Adam, you get Leo. I'll stabilize the helicopter." Chase ordered and uses his molecular kinesis to stabilize the helicopter as Adam pulls Leo off the helicopter.

"Got him." Adam said.

"Bree, Juliet, get the passengers!" Chase ordered the girls as he continued to stabilize the helicopter.

Bree and Juliet super sped and grabbed each passenger, bringing them onto the roof to safety.

"Hurry!" Chase yelled.

Bree and Juliet ran back to the boys after saving everyone. "That's everyone." Bree said.

"Let me make sure no one's left in there." Juliet told them and super speeds back to helicopter.

"No! Juliet, don't! It's about to go over." Chase protested with worry.

"Jules! No!" Adam yelled.

Juliet gasped when he suit got stuck to the seatbelt. She started struggling with it. "Wait. Help! My suit is stuck! Help!"

"Use your heat vision!" Adam yelled, rushing forward a bit, worried for her.

The helicopter starts to fall over as Juliet started to use her heat vision, but it was too late the and helicopter fell with her.

"AHH!" Juliet yelled as she started to fell.

"NO!" Adam yelled as Leo rushed to the edge with Adam only a few feet behind him.

"Juliet!" Leo called as he reached over the edge and managed to grab Juliet's hand, pulling her up onto the roof. Leo groaned as he pulled Juliet up and Adam reached down, grabbing her other hand.

Juliet exhaled with relief as the two pulled her over the edge and she leaned against the wall, holding her chest. Chase and Bree went up to them, checking on Juliet.

"Nice work, Leo." Adam praised, hugging his scared girlfriend. "You alright, babe?"

"My life just flashed before my eyes, but I'm good." Juliet huffed against Adam's chest and he rubbed her back, kissing her head.

"What about the helicopter?" Chase asked and they all lean over the side of the building. They watched as the helicopter bursts into flames.

"Glad I wasn't in that." Juliet awkwardly chuckled.

Adam grinned. "Yeah, that's never gonna fly again."

The group laughs as they move away from the edge and Chase smiles. "Great work, guys."

Bree nodded. "Yeah, especially you, Leo."

"I owe you one, buddy." Juliet patted Leo's back.

Leo grinned smugly. "Yeah, well, I am a hero."

"Don't push it, I can still burn you to a crisp."  Juliet threatened sweetly.

"You're welcome." Leo pressed his lips together.

Chase pointed to a new crew flying above them. "Hey, Leo, looks like everyone's gonna know your name now. That news crew filmed the whole thing."

Leo waved it off. "Who cares?"

"Who cares?" Bree asked as the others were confused. "All you've wanted this whole time is for people to know your name."

"Yeah, well...I did some thinking while I was on hold for 20 minutes." Leo huffed, furrowing his eyebrows. "We don't go on missions for the fame. We go to save lives."

Chase made a face and motioned to a billboard. "Um, Leo, you do realize there's a 40-foot billboard on that building with your face on it."

The five turned and a saw a giant billboard that had Leo's business card logo on it. With Leo's airbrushed bicep more exaggerated.

Leo smiled, putting his hands on his hips. "Oh. They told me that wouldn't be ready for another two weeks."

Afterward, Leo, Chase, and Bree left the rooftop and Juliet and Adam were about to leave when Adam stopped her.

"Jules?" Adam called and the red head turned to him.

"Yes?" She asked him.

"Are you doing alright? I mean that was a pretty scary fall," Adam remarked, holding his hands together anxiously.

"Yes, it was. But I'm okay and you and Leo saved me." Juliet replied and rubbed his arm, smiling fondly at him. "I'm alright, baby."

She kissed his cheek and gave him a sweet grin, before she left.

Adam sighed worriedly, mumbling. "But you could've not been alright."

Adam soon followed her down the stairs.
