Chase and go down to Mission Command and finds random things.in there.

"That's weird" McKayla says "What the..?" Chase says "Ah! Intruder! " Perry who was lying on an inflatable mattress in the corner of the room shoots a gun at them, Chase jumps out of the way and McKayla rolls on the floor.

"Perry?" Chase asks "Chaz?" Perry says "Perry?!" McKayla says "Marli?!" Perry says, Chase rolls his eyes "Yeah, that's us Chaz and Marli" McKayla says sarcastically.

"Yeah, I like these names better." Perry stands up and walks over to them "What are you doing here?" Chase asks "I decided to take a little va-cay from the academy." Perry says.

"And my father is okay with this?...Oh wait, that means you away from him. Stupid question, forget it" McKayla says "So, you left the academy to vacation in the windowless underbelly of a skyscraper??" Chase asks.

"Yep. I have to get my skin back to its natural state. Pale and clammy." Perry says "I've never seen your skin any other way" McKayla says "Ha look who's talking" Perry says, McKayla gasps, Chase caresses her arms.

"Plus I'm from here." Perry says "You were born in Centium City?" Chase asks "Nope, under, in a network of tunnels underneath the ground." Perry points around with the gun.

"Okay, how about we put the weapon down?" Chase gets McKayla out of the way "Sorry. When you're born in the bowels of a city, you learn to watch your back. And you also learn that not everything that looks like meat is meat." Perry says.

"This woman is a well of wisdom," McKayla says sarcastically "Time to go." Chase takes Perry to the hyperlift.

It doesn't work "Great. Your blast broke the hyperlift." Chase says "You're the one that ducked out of the way." Perry says "You are unbelievable" McKayla says.

An alarm blaring, Perry screams and shoots a console "Stop shooting things." Chase lowers Perry's gun.

"That's a mission alert." McKayla says "Your blast put us on lockdown, and took out mission command's entire central nervous system. We're trapped." Chase says.

"Seriously, I'm stuck on the command mission with Chase and I can't do anything with him because Perry is here?!" McKayla thinks "Damn it" she says.

"Wow, stuck on the command mission, I'm not going to lie that I haven't imagined this scene several times but never with Perry getting in the way" Chase thinks frustrated, picking up his cell phone "Communication's down, too." Chase says.

Perry groans frustrated and shoots upwards, the lights go out "What's your problem?!" McKayla says "What did you do that for?!" Chase asks.

"If we're gonna be stuck down here, I don't wanna have to look at your faces" Perry says, McKayla and Chase look at each other in frustration.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

In the living room, Bree and Luke are waiting for the others for the mission.

"Uhg I can't believe we just got a mission alert!" Bree says, Luke frowns, "Why? Did you have other plans?" He asks.

"Actually yes, Mike asked me out!" Bree says excitedly, Luke raises his eyebrows in surprise "Shit!" he thinks "Oh Yey!" Luke forces a smile.

"I know!! But now I'm going to have to reschedule because of the mission" Bree says "Oh no!" Luke fakes a pout.

"Kaz'll be right down." Oliver says as him and Skylar walk in "Where's Chase?" Bree asks "And McKayla?" Luke asks.

"No idea." Oliver says "That's weird. He's always the first one here for missions." Bree says "Same for McKayla...." Luke says, he and Bree look at each other.

"Uuh! Do you think finally happened?" Bree chuckles, Luke scoffs "No....maybe" he says "Eh I'll call Chase real quick." Bree take her cell phone.

"Greetings. You've reached Chase, the smartest man in the world. I'm not here, but if you'd like to leave a message for Chase, the smartest man in the world, do it at the beep. And if you didn't know that by now, you are definitely not the smartest man in the world." Chase's voicemail says "Well, at least he shortened it." Bree says.

"Look, Mack left her cell phone here" Luke says "And Chase's must be off so he wouldn't answer it" Bree says "Uuuuuhh" Luke and Bree say together with a little smile.

"So what are we gonna do? We can't go on our first mission without our leader." Oliver says "Well, what can we do if our leader decided to lead something else?" Luke says, Bree laughs.

"There's no time to wait. We have to get to the Centium City arch. The glass floor on the observation desk is cracking, and tourists are trapped. We need to get there now." Skylar says.

"She's right. Kaz, let's go!" Bree says, Kaz walks down the stairs playing the rock music plays "♪ Elite Force! ♪" Kaz shouts.

"What was that?" Bree asks "It's our first official mission. When we show up, people need to know we're there." Kaz plays The song again "♪ Elite Force! ♪" Kaz shouts "Dude if you want me to like you. Never do that again" Luke says and leaves with the others and Kaz walks up to him.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

Later, Chase, McKayla and Perry exit the hyperlift. "Man, the hyperlift took forever to fix. Why'd you shoot it a second time?" Chase asks Perry "Why'd you duck a second time?" Perry says "Why don't we just shoot you right away?" McKayla says annoyed.

Chase puts his hand on her shoulder "Calm down Love" Chase says "Calm down? Perry just ruined one of my fantasies," McKayla thinks.

"...we're all stressed out about having to go through what could have been a romantic moment, but it wasn't because of Perry." Chase thinks.

The rest of the Elite Force walks in after the mission "What's going on?" Chase asks "We just got back from the mission." Bree says "Oh no, we missed our first mission?" McKayla says.

"Yeah, but it must have been worth it so you guys didn't miss your first other thing." Luke winks "What?" Chase asks, Bree hits Luke's arm.

"Where were you?" Bree asks "We and Perry were stuck downstairs." Chase explains "Wait, you guys were with Perry?" Luke asks "Yeah, what did you think we were doing?" McKayla says.

Luke is silent "What's your problem?" Chase says "It's not my fault you two always look so suspicious" Luke says, He walks away.

"What is she doing here?" Bree points to Perry "Sorry. I didn't mean to say it like that. What is it doing here?" Bree asks "No need to be rude tho" McKayla says "You threatened to shoot me seconds ago" Perry says "The past is in the past Perry" McKayla says.

"Chase, this must be your mom. The resemblance is uncanny." Kaz says "Please. If my kid came out looking like that, I'd have put the robot parts on the outside." Perry says, McKayla rolls her eyes.

"Well, I'm Oliver, and this is Kaz." Oliver says "Glen and Paul. Got it." Perry says "I'm Skylar." Skylar says.

Perry gasps loudly "I know who you are. Donny told me that the robots would be teaming with the superheroes. I can't believe I'm in the presence of a real heroine." Perry smiles.

"Uh, hello. You never acted that impressed around me." Bree says "I never imagined she could act impressed like that," McKayla says.

"Uh, that's 'cause she's a comic book hero come to life, and you're a manmade dolly." Perry makes mechanical noises.

"Can we please get back to the mission? How bad was it?" Chase asks "It was terrible... no one wanted to finish my catchphrase, I'm going to delete the scene of my first mission in the adaptation of my biography for the cinema" Luke says, Chase pats him on the back.

"Well. actually, it was a complete success." Oliver says "Yeah. Skylar had a really great idea and stepped up as mission leader." Bree says "Oh I wouldn't tell him that" Luke thinks.

"Her?" Chase asks "Don't talk like that,as if she wasn't capable" McKayla hits her boyfriend's arm "Yeah. Who'd you think it was gonna be, Oliver?" Skylar says, Oliver glares at her "No offense." Skylar says.

"Yeah, she had me use my fire ability, and Luke's laser fist to seal the cracks on the floor." Kaz says "Then I used my super strength to keep the floor stable, while Skylar and Bree rushed everyone to safety.

"And everyone made it out alive?" Chase says "He's so cocky sometimes. Like, more than adequate," McKayla thinks.

"Well, one guy twisted his ankle." Kaz says "That's okay. Luke carried me halfway" Oliver says, McKayla frowns and looks at Luke "Another scene I'm going to delete" Luke says frustrated.

"I thought you guys did great out there. You should be proud." Skylar says "Thanks, but we should really be proud of you, mission leader." Oliver says.

"Mission Leader" Chase makes an upset face "Aw poor guy" McKayla notices his expression "Hey, mission leader!" Bree tells Skylar as everyone but McKayla and Luke walks upstairs.

"Yeah, they really needed you." Perry laughs at Chase "Shut up!" Luke says.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

On the terrace Kaz and Oliver look at something distressed.

"Everyone is counting on you. If you can't do this, the entire tower can collapse." Kaz says, Oliver nods "I won't let you down." He says.

A tower of stacked cups is revealed, and Oliver quickly removes one of the cups without causing the tower to collapse.

"Superheroes." Kaz and Oliver greet each other, Bree and Luke walk in.

"Hey, where are all the cups?" Bree asks, they see the tower of cup "Why? Just why?" Bree asks "It's this new game we invented called Topple the Tower. You pull one item out, and try to put it back on top without knocking the whole thing over." Kaz says.

"Come on man! I just cleaned the kitchen! I had organized these cups by color!" Luke says annoyed "Us too" Oliver points and Kaz chuckles

"Well, when will you be done?" Bree asks "Could be a couple of minutes, could be a couple of days." Oliver says "All right, there has gotta be a vacant apartment somewhere in this building." Bree starts to leave and Luke goes with her..

"See, that's what I'm talking about!" Bree says, Luke nods "Why are boys always so immature? Why can't they be smart and mature like..." Bree gestures towards Luke who smiles smugly "Mike!" Bree says, Luke's smile disappears.

Luke looks around "Sorry what?" Luke asks "Yeah, seriously he's the only boy I've ever had a real conversation with" Bree shakes her head and leaves.

Luke gasps "Oh really? And was it Mike who spent most of his nights listening to you complain about how hard it was to fit in at school after being raised in a basement? No! I don't think so!" Luke grumbles angryly.

Chase walks up to Kaz "Hey, Kaz, ready to work on that fire stream power?" Chase asks "Oh, yeah, Skylar already helped me with that." Kaz says "What?!" Chase shouts.

"Chase, can you flip out somewhere else? Your frustration's always amusing, but it could knock our tower over." Oliver says "I feel like kicking this damn tower over!" Chase thinks annoyed.

"Hey, guys." Skylar walks in "What do you think you're doing? First, you act like mission leader, now you're training Kaz." Chase says "The team needed someone to lead, so I did. Kaz asked me for help, so I helped." Skylar says.

"Kaz!" Chase says angryly "Wait a tick." Kaz dislocates one of the cups from the tower "Okay, go ahead." Kaz looks at Chase.

"Why did you ask Skylar for help training when you already asked me?" Chase asks "You know, she was a great mission leader, and I just figured she would be great at that, too. I was right." Kaz smiles.

"Skylar... may I have a word?" Chase says "Okay...?" Skylar frowns and follows Chase inside.

"Look, I know you're new, to this team and Earth. So I'm gonna let this one slide. But around here, I'm mission leader." Chase says "I wasn't trying to step on your toes." Skylar says.

"Yeah, well, you couldn't, because my toes would be way out ahead of you... leading!" Chase points forward, Skylar puts her hands on her hips.

"The team needed me. And I'm sorry, but if they need me again, then I'm going to lead them again." Skylar says, Chase glares at her angryly.

Perry scoffs, revealing herself to be in an armchair not far away "Stick it to him, sister. About time someone showed these robots who's boss." Perry says.

"Okay, that's it." Chase rolls his eyes. "You know what, Perry? You're the reason this whole thing happened. Now go pack your stuff and get out!" He says angryly.

"All right. I'll go. Guess I can stay with the one friend that will never leave me. Loneliness." Perry lowers her head and leaves.

That day Paige had arrived to spend two weeks with the Elite Force.

McKayla showed her around the house, the two arrive in the girls' room.

"Mack, this place is amazing. Good idea to date an heir" Paige chuckles, McKayla rolls her eyes.

"But tell me, which one of them owns this place, Donald or Douglas?" Paige asks "Donald" McKayla says.

"And which one of them is married?" Paige asks "Donald" McKayla says "Damn it!" Paige says "And I'm not letting you near Douglas" McKayla says "Okay" Paige raises her hands.

Paige sits on the bed "How are you?" McKayla asks worried "I'm fine, I mean I feel like years of my life have been thrown away but..." Paige says "How was the breakup?" McKayla asks.

"It was fine, we just weren't in sync anymore. But the worst part is that after everything I couldn't run to cry in your arms" Paige hugs McKayla "Aw I'm here now" McKayla says.

"Thank God, you are a thousand times more emotional support than Caitlin, after talking to her there were two options: either not follow her advice and go to therapy or follow her advice and go to jail" Paige says in frustration.

McKayla presses her lips together "So how was therapy?" McKayla says "It was good" Paige says sarcastically and they both laugh.

"And how are you guys?" Paige asks "I'm great, Elite Force is amazing and I've been improving in training, Chase has been helping me with that and it's been great" McKayla says "Oh so are you guys okay?" Paige asks.

"Yeah, there couldn't be a more perfect boyfriend" McKayla says, Paige smirks "Sure, Sure... that reminds me I have something for you" Paige grabs her purse.

McKayla frowns "I mean, I don't want to pressure you into anything. But it's just advice... so I'm already pressuring you anyway, but I want you to use it" Paige says.

"Okay you're scaring me" McKayla says, Paige smiles and takes a condom from her purse, McKayla's eyes widen "I bet you don't have one of those Huh" Paige laughs "Paige!" McKayla quickly looks at the door.

"What's wrong with you?" McKayla hides the packaging "I just want you to protect yourself" Paige says, McKayla blushes.

"And I also have some and I want to get rid of it now that I have no one" Paige says.

McKayla gasps "Yeah but...""But what, are you going to say they're useless?" Paige says, McKayla swallows hard.

"Again, I don't want to pressure you, just go with it...Oh and look at the size" Paige clicks her tongue, McKayla looks at the packaging and back at her With a shocked expression.

Paige gives a mischievous chuckle "Yeah, I know things. trust me" Paige says, McKayla sighs.

"You make me so embarrassed sometimes" McKayla hides her face, Paige laughs "Someone needs to tell you about these things" Paige shrugs.

"You're scary" McKayla says "Life is scary McKayla. But come on... if it were me it would have already happened in Tech Town" Paige says, McKayla blushes extremely.

"It's times like these when I rethink my friendships," McKayla thinks.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

On the terrace Oliver, Kaz and Luke have stacked various household appliances into a tower.

"You guys seen the toaster?" Bree walks in "Yes. It's up there." Oliver points "I'd tell you to wait for it, but it's probably gonna break when the tower falls, so just buy a new one." Kaz chuckles.

Bree looks at Luke "Seriously? Are you in on this too?" Bree asks "Yeah, was there ever a point where you thought I was too mature to play this game?" Luke says annoyed, Bree frowns.

Bree is silent "Yeah, that's what I thought" Luke says, Bree shakes her head "Now if you'll excuse me I'm just going to be one of the immature bous who takes the blender off the tower without letting it collapse!" Luke shouts, Bree wipes her face.

Chase and McKayla runs in mission suit "Guys, there's another mission alert. A truck carrying toxic chemicals overturned in the Rogers tunnel. It caused an explosion, and hundreds of people are trapped inside." Chase says.

"We have to go, now!" McKayla says "Let's go." Bree says they run inside. Paige is at the kitchen eating an apple.

"Hey, wait. Where's Skylar?" Kaz asks "I don't know." Chase says "Without her, who's gonna lead us?" Oliver asks "I am!" Chase shouts.

Paige walks past them and pats Chase on the back "Of course you will" She says sarcastically "What are you doing here?" Chase asks "Believe it or not, helping you" Paige says and goes up the stairs.

Chase rolls his eyes "Really, you? Do you think that's a wise decision?" Oliver says "Just go get your mission suits and head out. I'll go find Skylar and meet you there." Chase says.

Chase goes to the hyperlift but returns checking that everyone has left the room.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

At Mission Command an alarm starts blaring.

"It's a mission alert. I gotta go." Skylar tells Perry that she was there with her "Oh, I guess balling my socks can wait." Perry says.

Skylar enters hyperlift but it doesn't work "It's not working. We're stuck." Skylar says.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

"Manual override. Hyperlift disabled." A robotic voice says on the tablet that Chase controls "Oops." Chase smirks.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

At the mission site.

People run past Bree, Luke, Kaz and Oliver "Keep going. We'll get the others." Bree says "Here we are" Luke says, Kaz starts playing the song and Luke slaps his hand throwing the phone away "Hey" Kaz says "Shut up I'm having a bad day!" Luke says annoyed.

"There's smoke everywhere." Oliver says, they hear rumbling "All right, listen up. The truck crumbled the wall, blocking the other exit. The only way to get people out is to bring them back through the smoke." Bree says "Thanks for explaining to the immature over here" Luke points to himself.

"I was talking to everyone" Bree says "Of course because I'm just one more of them" Luke says annoyed "What's wrong with you?" Bree says "Nothing, I'm fine! I've never been better." Luke crosses his arms.

Chase runs up to them whit McKayla "I'm here." Chase says "Where's Skylar?" Oliver asks "I don't know. I tried calling her, but she didn't respond." Chase says "You Did?" McKayla asks "Yes! I did!" Chase says.

"And I couldn't wait around all day, 'cause I've got a team to lead." Chase smirks "Well, should we maybe, like, try her again?" Kaz suggests "Okay let's Focus!" McKayla says.

"The smoke is getting thicker. If we don't put it out soon, this whole tunnel's gonna be a toxic cloud." Bree says "Okay, I'll do a scan to locate the people who are trapped. Oliver, use your cryo blast to extinguish the fire. Bree, use your super speed to form a cyclone to clear the smoke. Kaz, you fly in and evacuate people. McKayla and Luke attended to the injured. Any questions?" Chase says.

"Yeah. Do you think I should try calling Skylar? She might not be answering 'cause it's you." Oliver says "We don't have time, let's go!!" Luke says.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

"Okay, that's everyone." Bree says after they evacuate the tunnel.

"Great work, team. We got everybody out in a safe and timely fashion. And while that should be reward enough, let me throw this little cherry on top...Thank you." Chase smiles, McKayla presses her lips together we don't want to encourage her boyfriend's cockyness.

"No worries." Oliver says "Cool." Kaz says, both without much enthusiasm "That's it? No "Thank you, Chase, for your brilliant leadership"?" Chase says, Luke puts his hand on his friend's shoulder "You did good, Buddy" Luke smiles gently.

"Yeah, Chase is a great leader. Okay, he's worked long and hard at it." Bree says "Thank you" Chase says "It's not his fault that Skylar just rolled out of bed and became a great one immediately." Bree says "Not to belittle your efforts, Love" McKayla smiles.

'Okay, you know what? I'm taking back my cherry." Chase says annoyed, they hear a loud rumbling "The ceiling's cracking." Bree says.

"This whole place is gonna come down. We have to get outta here!" Chase says "Wait, Are you hearing that?" Luke says "There's still people in there." Oliver says.

"I'll get them." Chase says and from one of the tunnels comes Skylar and Perry "Skylar? How did you get out..." Chase says, Skylar frowns "I mean... Where were you?" Chase says nervously, McKayla crosses her arms "It was him" she thinks.

"We were stuck in mission command. We had to escape through the underground tunnels." Skylar says "Totally it was him" McKayla shakes her head.

"Well, what's she doing here?" Chase points at Perry "Skylar and I are besties now. Deal with it." Perry says, Skylar presses her lips together

They hear creaking "The tunnel's coming down!" Bree shouts "Guys watch out!!" McKayla shouts and Chase runs to Skylar and Perry and protects them from the debris of the tunnel that leaves a barrier between them and the rest of the team.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

"Don't worry. I'll blast us out." Skylar says "No. It isn't stable. The only thing preventing this tunnel from collapsing is this pile. Blasting us out is a terrible idea... mission leader." Chase scoffs.

"What do you suggest?" Skylar asks "I'll put my force field around us. That'll protect us if it collapses." Chase says "And leave us trapped underneath an even bigger pile of rubble not to mention crushing the rest of the team." Skylar says.

"Stop arguing and focus on what's important. Saving me." Perry says, Skylar and Chase glares at her "Don't worry, we're all gonna get out of here." Skylar says.

Chase laughs sarcastically "Give her false hope. That's a great solution." Chase says "It's not hope. I trust our team, and I know they'll rescue us." Skylar says.

"How?" Chase asks "They're smart. They'll figure it out." Skylar says "No, they aren't. No, they won't." Perry shakes her head.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

On the other side of the wreckage

"Can you guys hear me?" Kaz shouts "I can't believe this is happening!" McKayla says worriedly "We have to get them outta there." Kaz says.

"How? The people that tell us how to do that are both in there." Oliver says "Okay listen here! This is not the time to panic, much less to be discouraged!" Luke says firmly.

"He's right. We are an elite force. We can figure it out ourselves." Bree says "Right. We just have to think. What would Chase or Skylar do?" Kaz says, McKayla shakes her head.

"Well, I know one of them would be beautiful." Oliver says "Really Dude?" Luke says "I'm starting to wish that you were stuck in there, too." Bree says.

"You know, with Skylar, I'll take it." Oliver says "What part of focus don't you understand?" Luke says angrily "I don't know but you talking like that weirdly scares me" Oliver says, Luke shakes his head.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

"I feel horrible, Chase. You wouldn't even be stuck here if you weren't trying to save our lives." Skylar says, Perry shrugs "Don't feel that bad. He's the one that locked you in mission command." Perry says.

Chase turns to her "Oh No she didn't!" He thinks "What?! What is she talking about?" Skylar asks "Yeah. What are you talking about?" Chase asks Perry.

"You purposely locked her in so that you could go on a mission without her and be leader again." Perry says "How the heck she knows that!?" He thinks.

"Is that true?" Skylar asks "Come on, you're gonna believe a chronic liar?" Chase says "I resent you calling me a chronic liar, and so would my nephew Abraham Lincoln." Perry says, Chase points at her.

"I'm gonna ask you one last time, Chase. Is it true?" Skylar says "Yes, it's true. What, did you watch the security footage?" Chase asks Perry.

"Nah. I just thought, what would I do if I was Chase, and was threatened by an amazing, vastly superior superhero? Guess we're not that different after all. You really could be my son." Perry smiles "Damn It! I feel terrible knowing that this is true" Chase thinks.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

"We're running out of time." Kaz says "I think we have to stop thinking like Chase and Skylar would think and think like ourselves, or else we won't get anywhere" McKayla says.

"Mack is right, think about it. You guys. Oliver, Kaz, Bree, there's a pile of rocks, what do you do?" Luke says "I would try figure out a way to remove one of those giant rocks so they can climb through." Kaz says.

"But if we remove the wrong one, the entire tunnel will collapse." Oliver says "Wait a second. This is just like your Topple the Tower game." Bree says.

"Yeah, except when we play, almost no one dies." Oliver says sarcastically "Almost?' McKayla frowns.

"You're right. It's the same strategy," Luke says "You're right. This can work" Kaz says "Okay, Kaz be careful and remove one of the stones" Luke says.

Kaz walks over to the pile of rubble and begins removing a rock "No, not that one. The one next to it." Oliver says "Oliver, I am a pro at this. I'm pretty sure it's that one." Kaz says.

"Be careful" McKayla says, Kaz starts to remove the stone and they hear creaking "No! No!" McKayla shouts "Put it back, put it back, put it back!" Bree shouts "Stop!" Luke shouts.Kaz puts the stone back.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

"Look. I'm sorry, okay? I was afraid you were gonna take my job." Chase tells Skylar "I told you, the only reason why I stepped in was because the team needed me. I never wanted to be mission leader." Skylar says.

"Yeah, but you could be. You're really good at it. When I saw how the team responded to you, I... I just panicked." Chase sighs "It's just a title, Chase." Skylar says.

"No. Not to me. Without that title, I don't know who I am." Chase says "I can tell you who you are, but you're not gonna like it." Perry says "Yeah you won't like who you are either" Chase galres at her.

"It doesn't matter anyway. We're either gonna die in here, or if we do somehow manage to get out, everyone is gonna find out what I did, and they'll never respect me enough to be mission leader again. Either way, it's over for me." Chase says upset.

Kaz manages to clear a path through the wreckage "Glen!" Perry smiles "Uh, no, it's Paul actually. Oliver's Glen." Kaz says.

"Yes! I knew you guys could do it." Skylar says "Really? 'Cause there was all sorts of self-doubt happening on this end." Kaz chuckles.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

Oliver and Kaz help Perry get out of the wreckage.

McKayla runs to Chase "Babe, you're okay" She hugs him tight, Chase smiles "Yeah" Chase says "Broken bones?" McKayla says "No" Chase frowns "Great" McKayla punches him in the arm.

"Owch! What's that for?" Chase asks "What were you thinking, leaving Skylar locked up in Mission Command?" McKayla says "How do you know that?" Chase asks "Cuz it's you, and I know you" McKayla says.

Chase sighs "Am I that predictable and selfish?" Chase says upset "Aw Love...yeah a little bit" McKayla says, Chase looks down "Look, but there's nothing wrong with that, everyone feels threatened and does something stupid sometimes" McKayla says.

"You just need to work on it. Look, luckily everything went well today, see this as a chance to improve" McKayla says, Chase smiles "You're right" he gently squeezes her cheek.

Skylar talks whit Bree "Perry was amazing in the tunnels. There were tons of rats down there, but when they saw her coming, they just scattered." Skylar says.

"Yeah, she frightens most living things. Hey, you never said how you got stuck in mission command." Bree says asks Chase walks up to them

"Uh, I don't know." Skylar quickly looks at Chase "I guess the hyperlift just broke." Skylar says "Again?" Bree asks "Yeah. We really need to get that fixed." Skylar says.

Perry goes to Chase "You just got lucky. If Skylar won't snitch, your secret's safe with me. For now." Perry winks "Okay, No more threats for today Terry" McKayla pushes Perry away, Chase smiles at his girlfriend before turning to Skylar.

"Hey, why didn't you say anything?" Chase asks "Because I get it. When I lost my powers, I lost my identity. I wouldn't wish that feeling on anyone." Skylar says "Thank you." Chase smiles.

"All right, let's get outta here." Bree says, Luke walks up to her "Hey, Bree" he says, Bree stops.

"I just want to apologize for the way I raised my voice at you earlier today." Luke says. "Luke, if there's something bothering you, you know you can tell me...it's me." Bree smiles.

"That's the thing, it's you" Luke thinks "Look Bree I... it's just that when you said that thing about boys being immature and that Mike was the first guy you had a real conversation with I got... jealous" Luke says.

"Jealous?" Bree asks "Yeah, uh not that I'm jealous but..." Luke says nervously, Bree frowns "I thought we had real conversations, and that I was a guy you considered mature enough to talk to." Luke says.

"O-Oh! Luke, no. I never said I thought that" Bree says, Luke shrugs "That's what you implied" Luke says "No, you...you're incredibly mature" Bree says, Luke looks her in the eyes.

"And what I said about Mike, maybe I exaggerated when I said "first" but he's the first boyfriend I've been able to have a mature conversation with. You know" Bree tries to explain herself "Boyfriend?!" Luke asks.

"Well, yeah...we've been going out on dates, so" Bree says, Luke takes a deep breath, his chest seems to shake "Oh Well in that case...I'm happy for you" Luke says, Bree feels a strange sensation with the tone of his voice.

"So we're okay?" Bree asks, Luke nods "Of course, why wouldn't I be?" Luke says forcing a smile and walking past her.

━━━━━━━ •♬• ━━━━━━━

In the living room, the entire team was gathered together with Paige who had just been introduced to Skylar, Kaz and Oliver.

"I have a good feeling about the next few days with you guys" Paige says "Ugh! So you're staying here" Luke says "Shut up idiot you love me" Paige says, Luke rolls his eyes.

Kaz laughs "I like your vibe, especially that you've been kicking Luke since you got here, it's pure entertainment" Kaz says, Paige shrugs proudly.

"Thanks, I feel pain so you can have fun..." Luke says sarcastically "Is that the synopsis of your movie?" Kaz says, Paige laughs, Luke galres at him "You're not in my movie just so you know" Luke says "And neither do you" Luke points at Paige.

"Hey, so what did you guys think of your first missions?" Bree says "I was just happy to be out there again. Being a hero is what I was born to do." Skylar says "And what I was implanted with a chip by an egotistical millionaire to do." Bree says.

Chase and McKayla walk in "Everyone, I have an announcement to make." Chase says "You and McKayla had sex!" Paige says excitedly "NO!" McKayla and Chase say.

"Sorry, now that's kind of a joke," Paige says. "That's the only thing I agree with her on," Luke says. Chase and McKayla look at each other, both blushing heavily, Chase clears his throat nervously "Anyway.." his voice cracks slightly and McKayla looks away.

McKayla rolls her eyes and sits down on the couch. " I decided to follow Macky's advice. And take on a new role. Team member." Chase says "Awesome. Now Bree can be leader." Bree says "Oh, yeah." Bree says.

"Or Kaz. Or me." Oliver says "No one's gonna be leader!" Chase shouts.

"Because if Chase were to choose someone to be leader, it would be me, right Chasey?" Luke smiles, Paige leans towards McKayla "Hurry up, friend, or your cousin will get there first." Paige whispers "Shut up, Paige!" Luke shouts.

Chase laughs sarcastically "Sorry Luke. But no" Chase says, Luke throws his arms up "Because... any one of us can step up and take control when needed. You all proved that today." Chase says.

"Wow, Chase, I'm really impressed." Bree says, Chase sits on the couch next to McKayla, Perry walks in and pushes Chase aside causing him to fall on top of McKayla..

"Why are you still here?" Bree asks, McKayla helps Chase to sit again "I'm gonna let Chase answer that." Perry says.

Chase and McKayla look at each other "Uh, I told Perry that I wanted her to stay." Chase says "What?" Bree asks "Why would you do such a thing?!" Luke asks.

"Yeah, um, by helping Skylar through the tunnels, she proved that she could be a valuable support member for the team, so I talked to Mr. Davenport, and he set her up with an apartment...Right next door." Chase sighs, McKayla rubs his back.

"What?!" Luke shouts, Paige covers her ears. Perry starts pulling out a chair "What are you doing?" Bree asks "My pad ain't gonna furnish itself." Perry says "Oh boy" McKayla says frustratedly.
