Episode 8| The Rock

The Elite Force and AJ walk into the penthouse.

"I love that movie. I've seen it five times! Oh, I hope I didn't ruin the ending for you guys" AJ says "No. You had already ruined the beginning and the middle so I didn't really care about the end" Kaz says.

"So uh, what do you guys wanna
do now?" AJ says "Hey, um, why don't you stay right here while we go have a quick little team meeting out on the terrace?" Bree says "Okay" AJ "Okay" Bree says.

They go out to the terrace "Chase, Harper. Look, I know you told AJ he could hang out with us, but this is getting ridiculous. He never leaves!" Bree says "oh stop!" Harper says.

"Yeah. This morning I came downfor a bowl of cereal and he poured my milk, which was nice, but kinda creepy" Oliver says.

"That's creepy? This morning you offered to be the milk in my cereal" Skylar says "That's not..I didn't...offer still stands" Oliver says.

"You guys are overreacting, I enjoy his company here" Harper says "yeah and the only reason that AJ's been hanging around so much is 'cause he doesn't have any friends" Chase says.

"Ah, so he's a mini you. Got it!" Kaz says "Oh! I knew he reminded me of someone" Harper says grabbing Chase's shoulders from behind he gives her a light chuckle.

"Look, it's nice that you're looking out for him, but we just need a little bit space" Bree says "Yeah, and not to mention it's really risky. I mean we have to keep our superhero status a secret" Kaz says, Harper chuckles.

"Analyzing the facts I don't doubt that he already knows!" Harper smirk "Why do you think that!?" Oliver says "Oh come on! You think I'm stupid for imagining that you two idiots know how to keep a secret!" Harper says pointing to Kaz and
Oliver.

"It's still risky" Skylar says,Harper sighs and Chase puts a hand on her shoulder "Okay. We get it. I'll go break his heart and tell him he can't hang around us as much" Chase says they walk back inside.

"Hey, great cookies. Got anything to, uh, wet my whistle?" AJ says "Oliver can be your milk" Skylar says.

"Uh, look AJ. We should talk. There's been some concern" Chase says "Just for the record it's not mine!" Harper says.

"yeah...a concern mostly from the others, about you being around so much" Chase says "yeah, I get it" AJ says He gets up from the couch "You do?" Chase ask.

"Yeah. They're afraid I'm gonna find out they're superheroes" AJ says "Woah, what?" Oliver says "Us?" Skylar says "That's...that's crazy" Kaz says "Ha! Told ya!" Harper says.

"No, we're bionic!" Oliver says "No you're not. She's an alien and you two touched the Arcturion space rock" AJ says "He knows too much. Light up your fire hand, we gotta take him out" Oliver says.

Bree holds Kaz back "No!" Bree says "You're right. We don't wanna make a
mess. Better freeze this punk!" Oliver says, Skylar hits Oliver's hand down.

"Hey stay away from him you bunch of freaks!" Harper pulls AJ behind her "yeah calm down!" Chase says.

"yeah, how you guys are attracted to the thought of hurting AJ, I mean look at his little face, he's so cute!"Harper crouches down to AJ's height, he frowns "Harper, will you stop having cuteness fits for him!?" Chase says "Sorry!" Harper stands up.

"How did you know we were superheroes?" Skylar says.

"It's my fault. I'm just way too heroic looking to pass for normal" Kaz says "I think it's very heroic that you have the nerve to say something ridiculous like that" Harper says.

"I've known your secret for weeks" AJ says "Okay, I don't like this. Who knows what else is inside that little cat toy sized head of his?" Oliver says "If AJ tells the public that superheroes exist, it'll cause hysteria. Not to mention we'll be under a microscope, which will make tracking Roman and Riker even harder" Skylar says.

"Why would I sell you out when I'm trying to convince you to make me a part of the team?" AJ says "He's right. Look, AJ's a smart kid. I think we can trust him" Chase says.

"I trust him!" Harper raises her hand "I guess that's a good sign, I never trust anyone, like no one, I still have my doubts about Bree" Harper says.

"What!?" Bree says "Exactly! It's only a matter of time before you do something crazy! Until then I'm watching you" Harper makes a suspicious face, Bree smiles sarcastically.

"Anyway I think Chase is right, he's smart enough to keep our secret, we can trust" Harper says "Or can we?" Kaz says In AJ's face, he gives him a strange look "He didn't flinch, I think we're good" Kaz says.

"Now that we're cool, there's something I wanna show you guys" AJ says he walks across the room and the evryone follows "My Elite Force Breakdown" AJ says He
Pulls tablet from bag.

"I've compiled all your abilities and superpowers and then ranked your
value to the team one through six" AJ says, Elite Force Breakdown order appears on tablet.

The list goes in descending order: Skylar, Harper, Kaz, Bree, Oliver, Chase.

"Um, why am I fourth?" Bree ask "Skylar has 24 powers and you have 5" AJ says "All right, Oliver, freeze that punk!"Bree says.

"Don't be upset. It's not like you're last. Chase is" AJ says "Chase snatches tablet from AJ "What?!" Chase says "Relax. It's not personal: it's just accurate" AJ says.

Chase makes an annoyed face "relax sweetheart, look on the bright side!" Harper says "what's on the bright
side!?" Chase ask "I'm second!" Harper smiles, Chase rolls his eyes.

"yup you have a total of 15 powers,and being able to upgrade is very impressive!' AJ says "Oh I love this little boy!" Harper
smiles and leaves.

......................................................................

Oliver and Harper walks into Mission Command, where Chase and AJ are working on something. Sheet is covering something in the middle of the room.

"Hey!" Harper says "Hey guys. What you working on?" Oliver ask.

"Well, Chase wants to move up the list, so I'm helping him find a way to get to missions faster. You and Kaz fly, Bree and Skylar have super speed, Harper Geo-leaps" AJ says "And Chase has a bus pass" Oliver says.

"Hey, it's not just a bus pass... it also works for the subway!" Chase says "You know I can take you right? Like geo-leap you to the mission field" Harper says.

"That's really nice of you sweetheart,but no offense I don't want to depend on you every time to get there" Chase says "Oh great I didn't mean to take you anyway, I know it doesn't look like it but it's very draining geo-leap someone" Harper says, Chase agrees.

"Anyways, a few days ago, I came up with the idea for this" AJ rips sheet away, revealing hover bike "A high tech hover bike that will speed him to missions in no time" AJ says "Wow! That's amazing!" Harper says.

"Cool. So how does it work?" Oliver ask "Well, the hover technology, the same one found in Harper's bionic skates allows it to float off the ground and just wait till you see how fast it goes" Chase puts helmet on and gets onto bike, and Turns on hover bike.

The bike that starts going real slow "oh my gosh take it easy honey or you'll hurt yourself going fast like that" Harper says sarcastically.

"Why am i going so slow?" Chase says "Here maybe this will work" AJ presses buttons, Chase goes speeding and hits the wall.

"At least we know the helmet works" AJ says "You were great" Harper says helping Chase to his feet "okay worst case scenario you're going to teach me how to skate!" Chase stands up "Oh That would be cool" Harper smiles.

Kaz walks out from secret passage "Kaz? What were you doing out there?" Oliver ask.

"Uh, I was... Chase, whats the word for exploring underground passages?" Kaz says "Spelunking" Chase says "Yeah, I was exploring underground passages" Kaz says.

"Wait, I know that fake smile... Your up to something... What are you hiding out there?" Oliver ask "Nothing" Kaz says "Let's see!" Harper geo-leaps behind Kaz.

"Hey!" Kaz says, Harper smirk Chase, Oliver and Aj walk past him.

......................................................................

They go to a part of the tunnel full of junk and random things.

"Cool" AJs says "What is all this junk?" Oliver says "It's not junk. They're my mementoes. I can never throw anything away" Kaz says.

"Kaz you can't accumulate that much stuff it's not healthy" Harper says "can't help it; I'm a hoarder" Kaz says "Yeah, you need treatment, this time I'm not just saying it to make fun of you" Harper says looking around.

"Ugh. Is this your retainer?" Chase takes a retainer "It's a retainer. Try it on, I did" Kaz says "Eww!" Chase says.

"Ugh see! It's disgusting! You have to stop it and throw at least half of it away!" Harper says "Want to help me it would be nice to spend the afternoon cleaning all of this together" Kaz smiles, Harper thinks.

"on Second Though what's wrong with wanting to preserve memories even if some of them are moldy" Harper says.

AJ takes the Arcturion "Whoa. What's this?" AJ ask "That's the Arcturion" Oliver takes the Arcturion "This is what gave you two your superpowers?" AJ ask "It's beautiful!" Harper says with an admiring look.

"Oh. The pyramid with a glow racquetball inside. Now that is science" Chase smiles "I thought it was destroyed when Roman and Riker took out Mighty Med" Oliver says.

"I thought so, too. It must've ended up in one of those storage bins. I didn't even know it was down here" Kaz says "It shouldn't be here lying around in this pile of rubbish, it's extremely dangerous!" Harper says.

"How do you open it?" AJ reaches out his hand Harper hits AJ's hand away "Owch!" AJ says "Didn't you hear what I just said!?" Harper says irritably.

"Yeah. If any human makes direct contact with the orb, it'll kill them" Kaz says "It's the coolest thing I've ever seen" AJ says "Indeed!" Harper says, AJ reaches for Arcturion again.

"I just wanna.." AJ says Chase hits AJ's hand away "No" Chase says, AJ reaches for Arcturion again "touch it so..""No!" Chase hits AJ's hand away again AJ reaches for Arcturion again "I can study it" AJ says, Chase hits AJ's hand away again "No! Go over there and play with the retainer" Chase says irritably, AJ lowers his head and starts to see other things.

"Harper's right, look, we can't have something this dangerous just lying around. Mr. Davenport has a secure storage area called Facility Y where it'll be safe. You two take it there" Chase says.

Oliver and Kaz agree and start hanging out with the Arcturion "let's go AJ!" Harper says.

Chase takes something from one of the boxes "Why would you save this?" Chase asks Kaz " I didn't,That's a dead rat" Kaz says "Ew!" Chase releases the rat "Stop touching things!" Harper says.

......................................................................

In the tunnels Chase, Harper and AJ are adjusting the hover bike for Chase to test, Bree walks in.

"Hey, Bree. You're just in time to watch our latest test run" AJ says "Oh, is Chase gonna get hurt? If so, I'm in" Bree says.

"Not gonna happen. We worked out all the kinks. Soon I'll be able to get to missions as fast as you. Then you'll be at the bottom of the list, and I'll be at the top" Chase says, Harper and AJ look at each other.

"uh I don't think so!" Harper says "No,you won't" AJ says "Okay, you are not in charge of the list anymore!" Chase says.

"I'm still not sure if this is the most practical way to get to missions" Harper says "Babe! What we talked about thinking positive thoughts!" Chase says "What do you want me to lie!?" Harper says.

Chase gets on the hover bike and starts going really fast through the tunnels "Whoo hoo!" Chase says.

"Doesn't look that fast" Bree says "Really? 'Cause I clocked him going faster than you" AJ says.

"No, you didn't. Let me see that" Bree takes the tablet "Oh Bree, you're scared of being left behind because of a hover bike that a two-year-old boy developed" Harper says AJ laughs.

"Okay, you know what? I don't have time for this. Just call me when he crashes" Bree says "Come on Bree that's no big deal" Harper tries to console but Bree doesn't listen and leaves.

"The brakes aren't working!" Chase says he ends up hitting the wall, Harper and AJ make a pained face seeing the situation.

"I almost think a few more tweaks will do it, apparently it's just a brake issue" Harper says "yeah...Oh, Bree!" AJ says.

......................................................................

Harper enters the room and sees Chase mad at AJ along with Skylar, Oliver and Kaz "No, I didn't take it. I swear" AJ says he looks sincere "I can't believe you're lying to me" Chase says.

"What's going on here!?" Harper says "Harper tell him, I didn't do anything!" AJ says, Harper looks at Chase confused.

"You know what, AJ? If you're not gonna admit it, then we're not gonna be friends anymore" Chase says "What?" AJ says upset "You heard me. Get out!" Chase says.

AJ looks about to cry "AJ, is it true?" Harper ask "No, Harper, you have to believe me I didn't take the rock!" AJ says he looks heartbroken, Harper stares at him silently, AJ runs off.

"AJ.." Harper says, Chase sighs upset "Don't feel bad. It had to be him. I mean, the only other person who knew about the Arcturion was..." Skylar says everyone looks at each other "Oh no!" They says.

......................................................................

Bree opens the Acturion case Sklyar, Harper, Chase, Kaz and Oliver run in.

"No, Bree, don't!" Skylar says,Bree is about to touch the Acturion.

Skylar blasts the Arcturion and blastricochets to Bree, blasting her into wall. She falls to the ground and everyone rushes over to her

They help Bree up "What did you blast me for?" Bree ask "I wasn't aiming at you! I didn't want you to touch the Arcturion. I was trying to save your life!" Skylar says.

"Yeah. If you actually touched it, let's just say, there'd be one less person on AJ's list" Oliver says "But just to be clear, Chase, you'd still be at the bottom" Kaz says.

"I said that sooner or later she was going to do something crazy! I was right" Harper says.

"Wait. So the rock could've killed me?" Bree says "Yeah. What were you doing with it in the first place?" Chase ask "I don't know. I found it in the cabinet. I thought if I touched it, I'd get more powers" Bree says.

"Why would you want more powers?" Chase says " Yeah. I mean, we could understand Chase, but...""Okay, we get it! I'm at the bottom!" Chase says.

"Bree, why is this messing with you so much?" Harper ask "Speed has always been my thing. And then when Skylar came in and had speed to, it just... made me feel less important" Bree says "You know that's not true" Skylar says.

"Yeah, but when I saw my name near the bottom of AJ's list, I realized other people think I'm unimportant too. Look, I know that touching the rock was selfish, but... I just wanted to feel special again" Bree says "I get it, but it's just too risky" Skylar says.

"You should have told me I was going to help you, find a way to give you more abilities or something" Harper hugs Bree "I don't know if it would work" Bree says "but I was going to try" Harper smiles "thanks!" Bree smiles.

"I'll take the Arcturion back to Facility Y." Skylar says she went over and picked Acrturion up "Oh, you know, that's...that's pretty far. Maybe we should just keep it in the cupboard and hope for the best" Kaz says he reaches out to the Arcturion, Sklyar slaps his hand away.

......................................................................

They go back to Mission Command.

"Hey, where's the hoverbike?" Chase says "oh boy! AJ!" Harper says "That sneaky little punk" Oliver says.

"No, it's not his fault. It's mine. I accused him of taking the Arcturion. He's just trying to get back at me by stealing the bike" Chase says "We have to find him!" Harper says.

"Look, I can track him by using the bike's locator." Chase says He takes out phone and tracks AJ.

"Looks like he's joyriding around the tunnels. Come on. We can cut him off this way" Chase says Him, Harper, Oliver and Kaz go into the tunnels.

......................................................................

They arrive in tunnel "Okay, AJ should be speeding through here any second now. Guys, get in position" Chase says, Harper goes to the other side of the tunnel.

"Got it" Kaz says "Right" Oliver says "You have no idea what the standard position is, right?" Harper says "uh yeah i mean, What exactly is the standard position for catching a ten-year-old on a hover bike?" Kaz says, Harper rolls her eyes.

"Well, we could go with the teapot, or a capital L and maybe a back bridge" Oliver says "Just stand on opposite sides!" Chase says.

"Listen! He's coming!" Harper says "Here he comes" Kaz says, He and Oliver jump towards the hover bike "Gotcha!" Kaz says, He and Oliver are hugging and AJ passed right by.

"We probably should've gone with the teapot" Kaz says "What's with all the smoke?" Oliver says "Oh, no. AJ isn't heavy enough to keep the bike under
its maximum velocity" Chase says "The engine is burning up!!" Harper says.

"You guys have to fly there and save him before it blows" Chase says "What about you? Aren't you gonna come with us?" Oliver ask Chase "He can't. Bus doesn't come for another half an hour" Kaz laughs he and Oliver leave,chase rolls his eyes.

Harper looks at Chase with a pitying face,"Aw we'll figure it out!" Harper lightly grabs Chase's chin and winks at him, she activates her Bionic skates and goes with Kaz and Oliver.

"Whoo hoo! Yeah!" AJ says in the hover bike "AJ!" Kaz says he and oliver are on his side flying, AJ Screams.

"What are you doing?" AJ says "We know you didn't take the Arcturian" Oliver says "Tell me something I don't know" AJ says "Your hover bike's about to explode" Kaz says "What?!" AJ says.

"It's going too fast, the engine is smoking. And now it's on fire" Oliver says "What are we going to do?" AJ says "Jump!" Oliver and Kaz says.

AJ jumps Kaz and Oliver ending up falling and not catching AJ luckily Harper is right behind them with the Bionic skates and grabbed AJ.

"AJ, are you okay?" Kaz says "Yeah, but I'm not AJ" Oliver says "I'm over here" AJ says.

"yeah lucky there was someone in the correct standard position, right Kaz!" Harper smiles still holding AJ in her arms.

They hear a Explosion, Harper puts AJ down "Wow. You guys saved my life" AJ says.

"Of course! But never take ANYTHING from us again without our permission! Understood!?" Harper says "Okay I promise" AJ says, Chase appears staggering around on roller skates.

"I took these from your junk pile. I got here as fast as I could" Chase
says, He hits the wall.

......................................................................

Oliver and AJ are in the kitchen.

"Is everything okay with you and Chase?" Oliver says "Yeah. It hurt my feelings that he didn't believe me, but we're good now. I've also decided to get rid of the list, because everyone on the team has their own unique value" AJ says.

"Chase told you to say that, didn't he?" Oliver says "Yes, he did" AJ says "Well, I'm glad you guys worked everything out. But I was kinda hoping you'd still wanna get back at him for not trusting you" Oliver says.

"Why?" AJ says "Because I have a really awesome prank I've been dying to pull on him" Oliver says "Oliver, that is so immature. Let's do it!" AJ says.

"All right! Watch this. Chase, get up here quick. There's a mission alert!" Oliver says "I'll be right there" Chase says.

He comes out of the HyperLift balancing on his skates "Whoa, stairs!" Chase screams and he falls down the stairs.

"That could not have gone" Oliver says, He and AJ laugh Harper exits the HyperLift she glares at them.

"Ahg I give up it's impossible to teach you!" Harper saays "I'm going to walk
these things!" Chase says trying to get up.

"Unbelievable, The smartest man in the world doesn't know how to skate!" Harper says "I'm the SMARTEST man in the world,not the most ATHLETIC man in the world" Chase says "obviously!" Harper says she helps Chase to stand.
