At night at Mighty Force headquarters, everyone is sleeping in their respective rooms, except for Adam who sometimes takes care of the control center on the night shift.

Bree is in the room turning from side to side in bed, unable to sleep, she sits on the bed and passes her hand over her face, she looks around the dark room and she is alone, it makes her feel anxious.

She turns on the lamp and hugs her knees trying to calm down so she can fall asleep, when she has an idea, she gets out of bed silently, she goes near the door to Kaz's room.

She knew Adam was working and wasn't there, she takes a deep breath and moves away from the door going back to her room but in the middle of the way she hugs her belly and sighs.

She goes back to the door and slowly opens it, Kaz is sleeping in his bed she watches him for a second "Kaz" Bree says softly, Kaz opens one eye slightly "Bree?" Kaz says he lifts his head.

Bree starts to enter the room "What's wrong?" Kaz asks "I can't sleep" Bree says "nightmares?" Kaz chuckles with a tired voice "Anxiety, I don't want to be alone" Bree says, Kaz thinks for a second.

"Oh" Kaz says is all he can say "Uh...can I...stay here tonight?" Bree asks nervously, Kaz quickly looks at Adam's capsule, but Bree no longer sleeps in a capsule.

"Uh yeah...sure" Kaz says coming to the side, Bree smiles and sits on the bed taking off her slippers, Kaz lies down facing the ceiling and with his arms crossed, he takes a deep breath, Bree lies down next to him.

She notices that he is tense "are you okay?" Bree asks, Kaz clears his throat "come on Kaz, it's not like this never happened" Bree says, she gives a friendly laugh, Kaz looks at her from the corner of his eye.

"yeah, I know...I'm fine" Kaz says and smiles at her but he quickly turns to the other side, Bree is confused.

"good night Bree" Kaz says, Bree presses her lips slightly irritated "good night Kaz" Bree says hugging a pillow and turning to the other side, as if she had expected this to all happen differently.

Harper and Chase are playing chess, in the living room, Harper moves a piece and wins.

"checkmate, I win! Again! Boom!!" Harper says happily, Chase whimpers and hangs his head on the board, Harper frowns.

"I wasn't going to say anything, but that killed my mood" Harper says, Chase glares at her "I missed my chip" Chase says upset "Your chip is gone move on!" Harper says.

"so why do I still feel like it's out there somewhere" Chase says "because you're weird" Harper says.

"I wasn't created to have super speed, it's not my thing" Chase says "I wasn't created to bionic, my thing was to be human...but look at me now!" Harper says, Chase sighs.

"I thought you were over it" Harper says "oh Harper wake up!" Chase says, Harper rolls her eyes.

"Have you ever thought about how this place would be a thousand times better and more efficient if I had my chip?" Chase says "No, because honestly I don't think you need that chip" Harper says.

"It's easy for you to say, you have your chip" Chase says "I don't think you need the chip because for the first time in your life you can be yourself 100% without being the smartest guy in the world or anything else that chip determined you to be..."Harper says.

"okay, you're right...once again since my 100% self isn't smart enough to come to that conclusion" Chase says frustrated, Harper shakes her head and approaches him.

"Will you stop talking nonsense!?" Harper says "I find it difficult since perhaps nonsense is the only thing I'm capable of knowing now!" Chase says.

"Look, I'm not going to argue with you while you're acting like this" Harper says, Chase sighs and gets up.

"I'm sorry, it just bothers me, and when I think i'm over it... I lose at chess.." Chase says "I already beat you when you had the chip" Harper says "... To Adam" Chase says "Oh!" Harper says.

"beginner's luck?" Harper says "Nice try" Chase turns to leave and runs into a wall.

"Owch!" Chase holds his nose, Harper gets up "are you okay?" Harper says "Who put this wall here!?" Chase says, Harper frowns.

"Oh yes it was me, this wall used to be where that window is, but I was into redecorating" Harper says sarcastically, Chase looks at her still holding his nose he rolls his eyes trying to contain a smile.

"How did you not see the wall?" Harper asks "I was distracted" Chase says "with what?" Harper says "Uh...you?" Chase says, Harper smiles even though she knows that's not what happened, he really didn't see the wall.

"you distract me a lot" Chase smirks, Harper tilts her head "you're cute...clumsy! But cute" Harper says she leans over and kisses his nose he smiles and leaves.

The next day Bree is in the headquarters cafeteria, she reads a magazine, Kaz sees her, since the morning she woke up and hasn't said anything to him which is weird.

"Hi Bree, did you sleep well?" Kaz asks sits down with her, she looks at him "Yes" Bree responds in a dry tone, and looks back at the magazine.

"You woke up before me, I didn't have a chance to say good morning" Kaz smiles "I bet I didn't miss much" Bree says.

"what do you mean?" Kaz says "Nothing Kaz, nothing" Bree says "Bree if there's something bothering you, you can tell me!" Kaz says "I'm fine Kaz!" Bree says irritated.

"you say that but your tone says the opposite" Kaz says "I...if I'm saying I'm fine I'm fine!" Bree says "Don't lie to me" Kaz says "ok, you're bothering me by asking... what's bothering me" Bree says.

"Bree..." "Leave me alone for a bit Kaz!" Bree says getting up and leaving "Wait, why are you mad at me I didn't do anything!" Kaz shouts and Bree rolls her eyes.

Kaz sighs and puts his hand on his forehead confused and angry, he doesn't understand Bree, and their relationship has been weird since they got out of prison.

Chase enters the command center with Adam and Douglas.

"What's the situation?" Chase asks "I think we found a possible trail of the bionic soldiers, look" Douglas points to the evidence on the monitor.

"Um we would have to investigate the location to be sure, and maybe establish contact" Chase thinks "shall I send a team there?" Adam asks.

"No, I don't want any team outside of headquarters for now, it's only been a while since Bram sent someone after us, I don't want to risk being exposed now" Chase says "We have drones" Douglas says.

"Great! Do this... tell the General to send a drone to..." Chase looks at the screen "t-to that coordinates that's written there on the screen!" Chase says, Douglas frowns.

"Chase, what coordinates are written there?" Douglas asks, Chase looks at Douglas worriedly, he chuckles nervously.

"Come on, you can read right!?" Chase says "yeah, but we're wondering if you can" Adam says, Chase glares at him.

"Seriously Chase, what is written there?" Douglas says "Uh California..." Chase says looking at the screen "it's not worth it, he knows it's in California!" Adam says "it's true, I want you to read the coordinates in numbers" Douglas says.

"Uh..." Chase sighs "I don't know, I can't see! Okay? are you happy now!? Just do what I say" Chase says irritated.

"What do you mean, you don't see it?" Douglas asks "I don't know, it's far away and blurry, it doesn't matter" Chase says "How long has it been since you've, not seen things?" Douglas asks "maybe a few months" Chase says.

"I get the impression it's been a lot of months" Douglas says, Chase looks at him "You need to see a doctor" Douglas says "that's ridiculous" Chase says.

"this place is full of people who can help you, including me, let's investigate what's going on" Douglas says "We have more important things to do!" Chase says.

"I'm talking as your dad now, not as your soldier, Captain" Douglas says firmly "My dad?" Chase says "Okay, let's go with your uncle who cares a lot about you!" Douglas says.

"I'm already used to it, I don't need it I know how to deal with things on my own" Chase says as he leaves he slightly trips on the control center step, he looks at Douglas.

"that doesn't mean anything" Chase says "Sure" Douglas says sarcastically "I'm just going to get a check-up, it won't kill you" Douglas says "seriously, this coming from you?" Chad smirk.

"Hahaha make fun of your uncle with a dark past, that joke is old" Douglas pulls Chase out of the control center.

"Adam take care of everything" Chase says "again...uhg!" Adam throws his head back "what would this place be without me" Adam says.

Later Horace and Douglas test Chase.

"all the exams are almost ready, But first tell me Captain..." Horace approaches Chase.

"how many fingers do I have on my hand?" Horace holds up two fingers, Chase rolls his eyes "two!" Chase says "No, you fool, I have five fingers on my hand!" Horace says.

"Seriously, we let this guy rule us? He's not the smartest" Horace tells Douglas "Do you really want to play with my authority Dr. Diaz?" Chase asks "never Captain! You are...the best when I grow up I want to be just like you!" Horace says scared, Chase smirk.

Horace picks up a clipboard "but yeah, Chase, you have serious eye problems" Horace says "what?" Chase says "Your tests show that you would have about 2 degrees of myopia and a slight astigmatism and another problem that I like to call Pixeliopia!" Horace says, Douglas and Chase frown.

"you just made that up!" Douglas says "Yup after all I've never seen that before, in other words it's a pixelated vision" Horace says "Yes, I've had a glitch like this before" Chase says.

"but this isn't a glitch, and it only tends to increase, your cornea is extremely sensitive and your iris and your pupil has already been worn out too much" Horace says "What do you mean it's not a glitch?" Chase says.

"Douglas came to me to confirm his theory, that these problems are not directly problems in your bionic structure but rather in the influence it has in your part biologically human" Horace says "No, I always had perfect vision!" Chase says.

"in fact, you had bionic vision, so you had much more than perfect vision" Douglas says "However, your current chip does not communicate with your bionic eye, meaning it no longer works and is wearing out..." Douglas says.

"according to the tests, your bionic eye turned off is even much more sensitive than a normal human eye" Horace says "So without my chip I have vision problems!" Chase says frustrated.

"Calm down Chase, I bet this is happening to several other bionics without chips out there" Douglas says, Chase makes an irritated face.

"It's not a big deal" Douglas says "You're right it's just another little deal in a big deal!" Chase stands up.

"Now I have limited intelligence and vision, that's great, that's just.... fucking great ! thank you!" Chase freaks out and leaves the room, Douglas sighs.

"this kid has serious self-esteem issues huh?" Horace says "it's just that he got too attached to the title of the smartest guy in the world, now that he is, he feels lost" Douglas says.

"But he has shown himself to be stronger than these issues, he overcomes them" Horace says hopefully.

Bree is at the bar thoughtful, and slightly upset, Mercedes approaches.

"What do you want, girl?" Mercedes ask "What do you recommend?" Bree ask "it depends on your situation, you seem upset...It's because...?" Mercedes ask "Uh...a guy" Bree says.

"Oh of couse, it's always guys..." Mercedes rolls her eyes, Bree agrees "Not that girls aren't the same shit...just as hard" Mercedes thinks out loud, Bree rolls her eyes.

"I recommend tequila shot" Mercedes smirk "I don't think I'm in the mood for alcohol, I don't feel like doing anything stupid" Bree smiles "Oh How boring!" Mercedes laughs, Bree tilts her head.

"Okay, I have ice cream...but only for you" Mercedes winks and puts a pot of ice cream on the table "That would be perfect, thanks, Mercy" Bree says "sure" Mercedes is cleaning the counter.

"Aren't you going to ask what happened?" Bree opens the pot of ice cream "look Bree I'm not the type of bartender who hears customers crying..." "So Kaz and I have a confusing relationship..." Bree interrupts Mercedes "oh shit" Mercedes says to herself.

"About two years ago I started to have a crush on him and he had a crush on me, we've always been super friends and we get along really well..." Bree says, Mercedes sighs.

"...Then we kissed at a party and then decided to forget everything to protect our friendship" Bree says, Mercedes rolls her eyes.

"Then we were arrested and we were saddled next to each other..." Bree says, Mercedes smirk "Okay, I see how this is going to end" Mercedes says, Bree tilts her head.

"Can you let me finish?" Bree says "ok but I already got everything, you slept together and now outside of prison things are weird" Mercedes says, Bree looks around to make sure no one heard.

"Could you speak more quietly?" Bree says "relax, the conversation won't go away from here, because I shoot gossipers" Mercedes smiles gently in a threatening tone, Bree laughs lightly.

"I don't know I feel like what we had there, as messed up as it was it was a relationship. I feel like it just gone" Bree says "Do you like this guy?" Mercedes says.

"I thought you didn't care" Bree says "answer the fucking question!" Mercedes says, Bree rolls her eyes at her tone.

"Yes, but I like what we had there, that was easy, I miss that...I don't want to complicate things" Bree says "and why are you mad at him?" Mercedes ask "because he doesn't do anything about it! like he didn't even care that it was over" Bree says.

"what do you want the boy to do?" Mercedes ask "I don't know... yesterday, I couldn't sleep and I went to his room, hoping he would comfort me and hug me and tell me everything is going to be okay...Like he used to do..." Bree says.

"and he didn't do anything" Mercedes says "he barely looked at my face!" Bree says filling her mouth with ice cream, Mercedes shakes her head.

"you must think I'm stupid and childish" Bree says, Mercedes thinks for a second "no actually for the first time in years I'm feeling empathy" Mercedes says.

"Uhg! I hate the way he drives me crazy!" Bree says "Bree, be honest with him, maybe he doesn't do anything because he thinks you don't want him to do something, maybe he also thinks it was just a prison love affair or something" Mercedes says, Bree thinks.

"I don't know what we are but I don't want to know either...I just want...I need him by my side because without him...I fall apart" Bree says with a slight smile "Oh Crap, Now I want a Kaz for myself too" Mercedes shakes her head indignantly, Bree laughs.

"I would give anything to have someone like that in my life" Mercedes says, Bree smiles.

"don't let him escape, it doesn't matter if he's going to be your boyfriend or just your friend, don't push him away, whatever you have is a relationship too pure and true to leave behind as if it had never happened like this" Mercedes says.

Bree smiles, customers call Mercedes at their table "I'll be right back, by the way the ice cream is on the house" Mercedes smiles and leaves, Bree nods thoughtfully.

Chase returns to the command center and sees Kaz spinning around in a chair looking upset.

"is everything okay?" Chase ask "No" Kaz sighs "what was it?" Chase asks "it's not important" Kaz says.

"No, I really want to know I need to take my mind off things and I'm sure whatever's bothering you will be silly enough to calm me down" Chase says, Kaz looks at him annoyed.

"Well... it's complicated, I'm having problems with a girl" Kaz says "what kind of problem? Maybe I can help you" Chase says.

"No, you would never understand, everything is easy for you, you have the girl and your entire life on an agenda that you follow to the letter while my life is a mess" Kaz complain.

"This is absurd do you think it's easy to be me?" Chase says "that's what you've been making it look like" Kaz says "because I have to, what credibility would I give to this entire base if I let it appear how difficult it is to do what I do in the situation that i am or... the insecurity that I feel" Chase tones it down on the last part, Kaz looks at him.

"It's not easy being me, I have the burden of being the Capitain of this headquarters and the protection of my family and these superheroes on my shoulders... and as for my love life, do you think it's easy to date Harper? It is difficult" Chase says.

"yeah Chase, totally is, I bet that getting laid whit Harper every night must be really difficult for you" Kaz says sarcastically, Chase glares at him "I would hate to be in your shoes" Kaz says more sarcastically, Chase rolls his eyes.

"She's a difficult girl, not to brag but you have to be very smart to get laid whit her...And at least for that I don't need the chip" Chase says convinced, Kaz frowns.

"anyway..." Chase says clearing his throat "Chase can stop I don't need advice" Kaz says "are you sure?" Chase says "yes I do, but not from you because that directly reminds me that you have more relationship experience than me" Kaz says frustrated.

Chase can't contain his smile, even though this conversation wasn't helping Kaz at all, it made Chase feel slightly better about himself at that moment.

"Look, maybe if you tell me who the girl is it will be easier for me to help you" Chase says "No!" Kaz says slightly worried, Chase frowns.

"I know how to deal with her, sometimes she just needs some time" Kaz gets up "But who is she?" Chase asks curiously "you don't know her" Kaz says.

"I know everyone who comes in, out, or has contact with headquarters" Chase says "Oh...okay I just don't want to tell you" Kaz chuckles and leaves.

Chase shakes his head and Douglas, Melody and Adam approaches "Chase, here" Douglas hands Chase a pair of glasses.

"What is this?" Chase says taking the glasses "a pair of glasses, my god your blindness is really terrible!" Adam says worried, Chase looks at him irritated "Adam, I'm not blind!" Chase says.

"Those are Melody's reading glasses" Douglas says "Douglas told me that you need them and so I'm going to let you have them for now" Melody approaches Chase.

"you don't need them?" Chase asks "it's just until I finish the glasses I'm making for you" Douglas says "Well, in that case, thank you Melody" Chase puts on his glasses.

"it's okay my dear, I understand with my vision problem I also feel totally blind" Melody smiles hugging Chase "Oh, that explain why you're dating Douglas" Adam says.

Melody and Douglas glares at him "really, never let her see the real thing" Adam says, Douglas rolls his eyes.

Harper is in the training area watching the superhero soldiers train for missions.

"Seriously, is that all you have?" Harper tells them firmly, one of the superheroes in training breaks one of the training dummies, he smiles proudly and Harper watches with a serious look.

"very impressive" Harper says "thank you General" he says "Soldier, read to me the name of the simulation we are doing today on that board" Harper points to the board.

"Rescue simulation at a government facility" he says "This training dummy represented one of the facility's security guards, your job was to discreetly neutralize him and get him out of your way peacefully so you could save the superheroes trapped in the facility..."Harper approaches him.

"pay attention to the word, peacefully!...you just killed the guy" Harper points to the training dummy, the soldier sighs "I train you to kill, soldier?" Harper asks firmly "No, ma'am" the soldier says.

Chase enters the training area "You are heroes, the world may have forgotten that but we haven't!" Harper tells everyone.

"I got carried away" the soldier says "Never do that on a mission! Always stay focused!" Harper says, the soldier agrees "let's work on this better later" Harper says.

Chase starts to go down the stairs to the training area door "You're Dismissed" Harper tells everyone and they start to leave.

Chase fixes the glasses he's wearing and looks at a tablet in his hand. "Hey!" Chase says, Harper erases the board she was using.

"yeah.." Harper looks at him her eyes widen slightly in awe "I want the reports from the team responsible for the investigation drone we sent today" Chase says looking at the tablet, Harper stares at him blankly and she gives him a melting smile.

"Harper!" Chase says, Harper blinks twice "uh...yes...I..." Harper clears her throat.

"I'm sorry sir, I was looking for my boyfriend, have you seen him around?" Harper asks, Chase rolls his eyes "very funny" Chase says sarcastically.

"Wow, so it wasn't me who distracted you at that time, you really didn't see the wall..." Harper says.

"Nope, cuz I have Pixeliopia!" Chase smiles fakely "Pixe...what?" Harper asks "Ask Horace, he might win a medical prize for that" Chase says irritated.

"So you wear glasses now?" Harper puts her hair behind her ear "until I get my chip back, yes" Chase says distractedly "Oh lord have mercy" Harper sighs to herself, trying to control herself and the millions of thoughts running through her head.

"So, have you heard back about the drone?" Chase asks "Yeah, It's a thermal camera record" Harper says handing over the records "apparently they used invisible cloak technology to create a hiding place..." Harper shows the record of the thermal camera.

"as you can see this area is hot..." Harper says distractedly looking at him "very hot, hotter than normal...and the rest is not so hot so..." Harper continues "I know how a thermal camera works Harper" Chase says.

Harper quickly walks away and laughs shyly "Of course you know" Harper says "so the bionic soldiers have a hiding place now" Chase says "yes" Harper says scratching the back of her head.

"Okay I'll archive those records, but keep the team on alert, in case they change locations" Chase starts to leave "Sure Captain" Harper says saluting and smirking, Chase laughs gently and leaves.

Harper watches him leave, when he closes the door Harper sighs.

"did you salute? What was that Harper?" Harper says to herself.

"oh but my mood is back" Harper smiles.

"Come on Bree talk to me I want to know what's wrong!" Kaz says "I just needed to think" Bree says "about what?" Kaz ask "about us! What are we?" Bree says, Kaz scratches the never-thoughtful

"so?" Bree says "honestly?" Kaz says "Yeah!" Bree says "We're like two people who want to be friends but sometimes we're attracted to each other" Kaz says, Bree crosses her armsm.

"You're okay with that, aren't you? I thought you were!" Kaz says "Do I look okay?" Bree says "I don't know, I don't, I thought we were okay we just..." Kaz says confused and gets lost in his own words.

"We just what Kaz? Say it!" Bree says irritated "why are you mad at me!!?" Kaz says "because I don't have you!" Bree says at the same moment she puts her hand over her mouth.

"Wow that was unexpected" Kaz says "um I...I didn't mean that" Bree says "So what did you mean?" Kaz says.

"Look, we don't know what this is but it's...you and me, it's easy" Bree says, Kaz looks around "uh... do you think what's happening here is easy?" Kaz says, Bree rolls her eyes.

"I'm saying the moments when we're together without thinking too much, it's easy, it's amazing... I love being able to be myself with you and how much you understand me" Bree says, Kaz smiles.

"I don't want to give up on this even if we don't know what it is" Bree says "Well...What do you want me to do?" Kaz says "just stay with me!" Bree says.

"stay with you as..." "you! Just you, I don't need anything else, not even an explanation, a title, nothing...just you!" Bree says, she sighs with a smile as if lifting a weight off her chest.

"I thought you wanted to start your life over now that we're free" Kaz says "and I want to but...with you" Bree says, Kaz smiles.

"I really like you Bree...I'm happy to have you around" Kaz says "I like you too...and I forgot what it's like not having you around...and I don't even want to remember" Bree says approaching him.

Kaz smiles and caresses her face, Bree hugs his neck and pulls him into a delicate kiss holding his hair, Kaz holds Bree's waist and they both give in to the kiss.

Bree stands on tiptoe while kissing him and lifts one of her legs, the kiss becomes more passionate and they both smile into the kiss.

Kaz breaks the kiss and kisses her cheek and neck several times, Bree laughs gently and hugs him tightly, Kaz stops kissing her and hugs her too, the two stay hugged for a few secondsm

Bree sighs on Kaz's shoulder in relief and Kaz caresses her back "I was about to have a snack, do you want too?" Kaz says calmly letting go of the hug "yes" Bree smiles and kisses his face.

"help me?" Kaz says going to the kitchen, Bree doesn't respond just watches him go to the kitchen.

"Huh?" Kaz says "sure" Bree smiles and walks over to the kitchen counter.

Later, Chase is in his room looking at some files on his tablet whit Newton on his lap, when Harper walks in, she watches him for a while with a hopelessly passionate look.

She goes to him distractedly, and takes his glasses "Hey! Give it back!" Chase says "Nope!" Harper laughs and runs to the other side of the room putting on her glasses.

Chase rolls his eyes, he puts Newton aside and super speed towards her, he ends up putting her against the wall, he holds her waist steady when his super speed knocks her off balance.

Harper looks at him in surprise she didn't expect him to be so close to her so quickly, she straightens the glasses on her face "Give it back, I need it!" Chase says "oh I need something too!" Harper says, Chase can't hold back the smile.

"Harp! Give it back or..."Chase says "Or what? Are you going to punish me?" Harper laughs flirtatiously "You don't give me many other options" Chase smirk holding her chin gently.

Harper takes off the glasses and puts them on him "no wonder the FBI is after you, it must be illegal to be that hot" Harper says, Chase eases his hand on her waist by being more gentle.

"Seriously, don't you think I look like a nerd?" Chase says "I love nerdy Chase, I missed him...i really missed him" Harper says "I never stopped being your nerdy Chase" Chase says he leans over putting her further against the wall and kisses her softly deeply.

Harper holds his hair and the back of his head, Chase slowly releases the kiss "I just can't be more nerdy because I don't have the chip" Chase says, Harper looks up.

"it has nothing to do with the damn chip" Harper says calmly "Why are you so into this?" Chase smirk.

"Do you really want to know why I like you so much with those glasses and everything?" Harper says brushing his hair away from his forehead "why?" Chase says.

"Because it's not the smartest guy in the world that I see in front of me, it's not the bionic guy, it's Chase!" Harper says, Chase smiles.

"Chase being Chase, the real you, the guy I fell in love with...I always saw him, and finally you're letting it show so the world can see" Harper says "And what did you see?" Chase ask.

"a genuinely intelligent guy, very intelligent, strong, courageous, loyal, fearless, disciplined, but more importantly kind and protective" Harper says blushing with every word, Chase feels the same.

"This is the human part of you that I always wanted you to know but your bionics prevented you from doing so" Harper says placing her hand on his chest.

"You're so perfect!" Chase says "No I'm not, I'm far from that" Harper says "We need to make the world see what I see then" Chase smirk "the only one who deserves to see this is you" Harper says.

Chase holds her hand and kisses it, Harper lays her head on his chest, and they hear a notification from Chase's tablet, he goes to the tablet that Newton is sitting on top of.

Harper sits on the bed "Okay You can finish reading the files I'll leave you alone" Harper says "No, you're staying there!" Chase says turning off the tablet and sitting on the bed too.

Newton runs to an upside-down box with a cut-out door, like a cat house.

Chase puts the tablet away "so...If according to you being hot is illegal..." Chase adjusts his glasses, Harper blushes.

"let's discuss your sentence" Chase smirks, Harper bites her lip and leans in to kiss Chase passionately while he pulls her closer.

The next morning Adam goes to the room he shared with Kaz after the all night shift taking care of the base, he tries to open the door but it's locked.

"that's weird" Adam says,he uses his super strength to open the door by breaking the handle, when he walks in Kaz jumps up on the bed and quickly hugs a pillow pulling the blanket up.

"Man, I'm exhausted!!" Adam says distractedly entering the room "oh yeah?" Ka says worried.

"yes, who knew that being vice captain of a facility would be so difficult!" Adam says "I would never guess!" Kaz chuckles nervously.

"Right! I thought when you're vice captain the real job would be the real captain's!" Adam says.

"Yeah, Chase really is irresponsible, uh, are you going to stay here or?" Kaz asks quickly "I just came to get some clothes before taking a shower" Adam says.

"nice, you can go then" Kaz smiles, Adam frowns "is everything okay?" Adam asks "more than okay, now go!" Kaz says, Adam rolls his eyes and leaves the door behind him.

Kaz sighs and Bree gets out from under the blanket "do you think he knew I was here?" Bree asks fixing her hair, Kaz looks at her.

"No, you're fine!" Kaz says "Anyway he could come back at any time so I better go" Bree says.

"Hey do you want to go to the bar later, Jack said Mercy serves great chicken wings and I was really curious about it" Kaz says, Bree smiles.

"I would love to" Bree says and leans in to kiss him, she breaks the kiss "Okay now, excuse me!" Bree says, gently slapping the pillow in Kaz's face, he laughs and makes room for her to leave.

"Wow, it's really cool!" Chase says taking off Melody's glasses and putting on new glasses "Do you like it?" Douglas smiles proudly.

"yeah but why are the lenses slightly bluish?" Chase asks "press the button on the corner of the glasses frame" Douglas smiles excitedly.

Chase does so and at the same moment a screen with various information appears on the glasses screen "Woah!" Chase says.

"this is a high-tech goggle that simulates your ancient bionic vision, with almost all the information that your bionic eye provided you, plus it will stabilize your vision problems" Douglas says, Chase smiles looking around "Douglas, that's incredible! Thanks!" Chase says.

"you're welcome, now I can give Melody her glasses back" Douglas says "I wouldn't do that, she might get scared" Adam walks past them.

"She knows what I look like!" Douglas says irritated "It doesn't mean anything, what do you expect from the taste in men of a woman who has dated Krane" Adam says.

Douglas thinks and Chase hesitantly agrees, patting Douglas on the back.
