# Episode 22| Maximum Speed

On the street in front of the tower Mr Davenport takes Leo, Adam, Chase and Kaz to a covered car.

"So big D what surprise gift did you say you had?" Leo says, Mr Davenport gives Leo keys "This!" Mr Davenport says.

He takes the cloth off a red car "Oh cool!" Adam says "woah that's amazing!" Kaz says.

"Are you giving me a car!!?" Leo asks "Happy early birthday Leo!" Mr Davenport says "wait a minute, why didn't I ever get a car for my birthday?" Chase says.

"Uh... You don't even have a driver's license" Mr Davenport says "oh and Leo has?" Chase says "soon" Leo says, Chase rolls his eyes.

"My old car, This car is very special, it is the last car with an intelligent system that is not automatic that I created so it is unique" Mr Davenport says.

"Oh so if Chase wants one like it, he won't get it" Kaz chuckles, Chase glares at him "No offense Chase but you don't seem like the car type of person" Adam says.

"what do you mean by that?" Chase asks "I don't know, I don't imagine you with a car, I imagine you more with a bicycle or a scooter... even a unicycle!" Adam says, Chase looks at him frustrated.

"Why did I drive a unicycle?" Chase says "I don't know, it suits you, they're half a bike just like you're half a man" Adam says.

"What I'm saying Leo, is that I want you to take very good care of this car, it's the last of its model and carries a lot of memories, it was the car I used when I married your mother" Mr Davenport says.

"Yes, it was that car that made me question her if she was really marrying you for love..." Leo says, Mr Davenport looks at him irritated "until today she never gave me a concrete answer" Leo says.

"Just get in the car!" Mr Davenport opens the door, Leo sits in the driver's seat "wow leather seats" Leo says, Kaz looks at the passenger seats "Look at the sunroof" Kaz says.

"Can I take it for a ride?" Leo asks "Okay, but only because I'm here, while you don't have a license I don't want you driving around alone" Mr Davenport "Got It" Leo says.

Adam, Kaz and Chase get in the car and Mr Davenport sits in the front seat next to Leo and they go for a drive in the car.

Meanwhile in the penthouse Oliver and Skylar are watching a movie when Finn walks in.

"Hey Finn" Oliver says "Hey man...hi Skylar" Finn smiles "hi Finn how are you?" Skylar says "much better now" Finn says dropping his backpack, Oliver frowns.

"what are you guys doing?" Finn ask "Watching a movie, want to join us?" Skylar asks "of course!" Finn sits next to her and Oliver look at him suspiciously.

Finn looks at Skylar several times during the film, he twitches his fingers and taps his foot on the floor looking nervous, Skylar puts her hair in a ponytail, Finn takes a deep breath.

"you should tie your hair like that more often" Finn says quietly "what?" Skylar ask "I think... it shows more of your face and... you look beautiful like that" Finn says, the boy's face blushes.

"Aw thank you" Skylar smiles delicately "oh I like you like that too, in fact you are perfect in every way" Oliver says "Thank you Oliver" Skylar takes his hand seeing how jealous he is.

"Well, I'll be right back...behave" Skylar says leaving "We'll be waiting" Oliver smiles, when Skylar leaves and he approaches Finn.

"What do you think you're doing brat?" Oliver says "What?" Finn asks "You were hitting on my girlfriend!" Oliver says "No!" Finn says.

"yes, what was that about complimenting her hair?" Oliver says "I was just being honest with her!" Finn says.

"No, you like her, there's no point in lying because I know very well the face of someone in love with Skylar!" Oliver says, Finn rolls his eyes.

"Okay and if I have a crush on her what are you going to do?" Finn says "Oh I'm going to laugh because you don't have a chance with Skylar" Oliver laughs.

"Isn't that what they said about you?" Finn smirks and Oliver glares at him "It's different, you're very young and she certainly wouldn't fall for you because she already has a great boyfriend" Oliver says.

"so why are you so bothered?" Finn ask "Can you stop having great arguments!" Oliver says "as soon as you stop making bad ones" Finn says.

"Just stay away from her" Oliver says "I can even try...but I can't promise anything" Finn smirks and Oliver looks at him uncomfortable.

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

Later the boys are reunited.

"Hey you know what would be good now a burger" Kaz says "Oh yeah and a bucket of fries and chicken!" Adam says "Yeah!" Kaz says the two of them give a high five.

"Let's go in my car.. oh yeah MY car that sounds right!" Leo says convinced.

"I drive!" Leo says "woah woah woah! Mr Davenport specifically told you not to use the car without him" Chase says "Uhg! Chase if you're going to be annoying take a bus!" Adam says.

"relax Chase, he doesn't want me to drive alone and without someone licensed by my side, but look, I'm not alone and I have Adam here who is licensed" Leo says.

"And that also proves that a driver's license does not mean a prudent driver" Kaz chuckles patting Adam on the shoulder, who looks at him "I take back my high five!" Adam says.

"I still don't think it's a good thing" Chase says "Oh you're not a good thing" Leo says going to the car.

"Mr Davenport said it might need some adjustments" Chase says "The car was running perfectly this morning nothing bad was going to happen" Leo says getting in the car, Adam goes with him.

Chase cross his arms and they leave with the car, Kaz goes to Chase.

"Aren't you going to go with them?" Chase asks "I was, but I saw this piece on the floor and I lost my courage" Kaz says showing Chase a piece.

Chase's eyes widen "That's a lock!" Chase says "a lock of what?" Kaz ask "of a bomb!!" Chase says "Oooh" Kaz says.

"why didn't you say anything!?" Chase says "because I was really hoping it wasn't something important" Kaz says, they look at the car driving away scared.

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

Later Harper sees Oliver in the kitchen.

"Hey Oliver, what's up?" Harper asks "Nothing much you know, I'm just here making some cupcakes while your brother is probably planning how to steal my girlfriend!" Oliver says taking a tray of cupcakes.

Harper chuckles "what?" Harper asks "Yeah, did you know he has a crush on Skylar and doesn't even bother hiding it!?" Oliver says.

"Aw my little brother has a crush!" Harper says, Oliver looks at him, she clears her throat "I mean.. oh no other guy likes Skylar...This is bad" Harper says "You know what, no cupcakes for you!" Oliver says.

"Oliver I think you're exaggerating, it's just a crush doesn't mean anything, plus he's only 16 he's figuring things out" Harper says "But I don't want him to find out things from her" Oliver says, Harper rolls her eyes.

"I don't think you should worry about him" Harper says, Oliver shakes his head.

"Unless you think there's a chance Skylar likes him too" Harper chuckles "You're not helping" Oliver says.

"Oliver relax, I've never even seen them talking, and I'm sure Skylar has never looked at him that way, he's too young" Harper says "it's only two years apart" Oliver says.

"but he's still a kid" Harper says "but one day he won't be...and it's not that far away" Oliver says "Oliver stop, Skylar likes you... It's going to be okay" Harper says.

"Do you think he has a chance?" Oliver asks "well...he's my brother...what do you think?" Harper smirks and Oliver looks at her scared.

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

Kaz and Chase are on the street thinking of a plan to stop the car.

"Why was there a bomb in the car!?" Kaz ask "I don't know, but do you think it really matters now!!?" Chase says.

"What are we going to do?" Kaz asks, Chase takes the part "I'm going to scan the lock to see what kind of bomb we're talking about" Chase says.

"Is there any possibility of it being a confetti bomb?" Kaz says, Chase glares at him and scans the piece "Not there" Chase says "and it's not a confetti bomb" Kaz says.

"the lock activated the bomb mechanism when Leo reaches above 50 mp/h the bomb is programmed to explode as soon as the car stops" Chase says.

"This is not good! Uh okay.... just call him and tell him not to exceed 50 mp/h" Kaz says "Yeah of course!" Chase takes out his cell phone, Leo answers on speaker.

"Oh look who it is, Mr. Jealous of Dooley's car" Leo smirk "no, it's Chase" Adam says "Leo! You guys are in danger you can't in any way go over 50 mp/h" Chase says.

Leo looks at the car dashboard going straight through 50 mp/h "uh you say the 50 mp/h just passed" Leo says, Chase screams in fright.

"No! Leo, there's a bomb in your car!" Chase says "What!?" Leo and Adam say, Leo almost slams on the brakes "DON'T BRAKE!" Kaz and Chase scream into the phone.

"What do you mean, you don't brake!? You want to blow us up!" Adam shouts "the bomb is programmed to explode as soon as you brake or slow down" Chase says "WHAT!?" Leo says.

"then let's keep riding in the car forever!" Adam says, the car blinks running out of gas "or until it runs out of gas...and eventually our lives!" Leo says.

"We have to help them, I'm going to fly and get them out of there" Kaz says "No! If you get them out of there the car will run out of control and explode somewhere in the middle of the city, people could get hurt" Chase says.

Leo runs a red light and receives an insult from a driver "Chase, hurry up!!" Leo says.

"I can't believe I'm in this again" Leo says avoiding the cars and motorcycles on the street "you don't have good luck with cars huh" Adam says, Leo rolls his eyes.

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

Later Finn and Skylar come downstairs talking "What's going on?" Oliver asks them from the kitchen.

Harper is in the living room with a tablet "Oh this will be good" Harper puts down the tablet "We're just talking about what else can it be?" Skylar says.

"Yeah Oliver, what else can it be" Finn says "Ooh don't act stupid, you know what I'm talking about!" Oliver says "Oliver, are you okay?" Skylar asks.

"No, Skylar, why do you know? Because this little guy is planning to steal you from me" Oliver says, Finn rolls his eyes "Wait what?" Skylar says.

"I don't want to steal anything from anyone okay?" Finn says "Ah" Harper says disappointed "If she wants me it will be because she wanted it" Finn says.

"Uuh now the circus is on fire" Harper says.

"See!?" Oliver points "Okay stop, Finn, what's going on?" Skylar says, Finn sighs "Skylar I...I've been wanting to tell you this for a while" Finn says nervously.

"What?" Skylar ask "I really like you, and I think you're amazing and definitely the most beautiful girl I've ever seen and... Honestly All I wanted was to spend time with you" Finn says.

"Aaww!" Harper says "Harper, don't you have anything else to do?" Oliver says "yes, but I'm fucked for that since this is going on here!" Harper chuckles.

"Wow Finn I..." "Has a boyfriend!" Oliver interrupts Skylar, she looks at Oliver.

"You weren't supposed to know that way" Finn looks down, Skylar gives a slight smile "Aaw Finn I feel flattered, really" Skylar says she puts her hand on his shoulder.

"But as you already know, I have a boyfriend...and I'm too old for you" Skylar says "No it's not, I'm only two years younger, and I'm going to grow beyond what I am very mature for my age" Finn says, Skylar chuckles softly.

"He's really mature" Harper says, Oliver looks at her "Okay, enough comments from me for today" Harper leaves.

Finn sighs "Look I understand, I'm sorry, especially to you Oliver, it was never my intention to steal Skylar from you, I just...wanted to see what happened I'm sorry" Finn says, Skylar looks at him upset, Oliver nods.

"it's okay man, I... understand" Oliver says, Finn leaves upset, Skylar is thoughtful.

"Why did you do that?" Skylar asks "uh..I don't know I think I panicked" Oliver says "Did you feel threatened by him?" Skylar asks.

"Well...would you give him a chance?" Oliver asks, Skylar stays silent "Uh no...of course not" Skylar says, Oliver looks down, Skylar sighs and hugs him.

"Hey don't worry, I'm here, with you, I will always be" Skylar caresses his face "I love you" Oliver says, Skylar smiles "I love you too" Skylar says, she hugs him again.

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

Meanwhile on the street, Chase returns with communicators, and hands one of them to Kaz.

"If we can't get them out of the car, what are we going to do?" Kaz asks "the only way we can stop further damage is by deactivating the bomb" Chase says.

"Okay, I'll fly and locate them" Kaz says "I need to get to the car so I can scan the bomb and find out how to disable It" Chase says.

"How are you going to do that?" Kaz says "I don't know yet, but hurry up we don't have much time!!" Chase says, Kaz flies away.

Chase thinks for a while he snaps his fingers having an idea, he goes to the tower garage, Kaz flies through the city and sees the car.

"I found them!" Kaz says "Great!" Chase says over the communicator, Kaz hears the noise of motorcycle and looks towards the tower.

"Chase what are you doing?" Kaz ask Chase gets on a motorcycle, and starts going after the car.

"Chase?" Kaz asks seeing Chase leave the tower garage with the bike "I don't fly man that's your thing" Chase says, he overtakes all cars with maximum speed on the motorcycle.

"Woah!" Chase screams "You seem excited" Kaz says, Chase smirks.

"Adam was right...I guess cars aren't my thing" Chase says making a sharp turn.

"Hey cool but do me a favor and be kind to that bike..." Kaz says "why? isn't it yours?" Chase asks.

"Yeah, and let's just say a scratch on this bike could cost me my life" Kaz says, Chase frowns, Kaz's concern is because Chase is riding none other than Jack's bike

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

Finn is on the terrace playing on his cell phone, Skylar approaches she takes a deep breath and goes to him.

"Hi" Skylar says "Hi Skylar!" Finn smiles "Can I sit with you?" Skylar ask "Of course" Finn says, Skylar sits down.

"I'm sorry about Oliver, he was just insecure" Skylar says ruffling her hair.

"Of course, but I understand his fear, a girl like you is hard to find" Finn smirk turning red just being next to her "A girl like me?" Skylar ask.

"yes! You're so incredible... It's almost like you're from another world" Finn smiles "Oh good one... but that would be impossible" Skylar laughs nervously trying to hide it.

"You know what always caught my attention about you, you have the natural gift of being a hero, you protect those you love and you make it look easy" Finn says.

"It's not easy Finn" Skylar says "I know but you're strong enough to handle the job... All I wanted is to be like that" Finn says.

"Do you want to be a hero?" Skylar asks "not necessarily, I just want to be strong to protect my family and do right" Finn says, Skylar finally looks at him.

"It's just...Look, my mother is everything to me, and she's been through a lot for me and all I want is for her to have a break, for me to take care of her, and for her to finally be truly happy!" Finn looks at Skylar.

"I just want to be strong enough to give her safety, and now to give my sister safety, and be a hero to them" Finn says "wow, I had no idea you thought like that" Skylar says.

"I don't like saying that around my mom, I don't want her to feel.... incapable,which she sure isn't, but I know she hates others thinking or making her think she's weak" Finn says, Skylar smiles seeing his thought.

"she fought and protected me her whole life alone, it's my time to do the same for her" Finn says "That's...a thought from a true hero" Skylar says.

"really!?" Finn says "yes, I think you're strong enough to be the hero you so want to be" Skylar says "Thank you... I know it may sound silly but you are a great inspiration to me" Finn says, Skylar looks down and smiles.

"You just inspired me a lot too" Skylar takes his hand gently, he feels a slight shiver "Skylar...so if I was a little older and you weren't with Oliver...Would you go on a date with me?" Finn asks hesitantly, Skylar smiles.

"Of course, you're an amazing boy, any girl would be lucky to date you" Skylar says "But you're not just any girl" Finn says.

"Finn, I'm happy with Oliver" Skylar says "I understand, if you're happy I'm happy I'm just saying that...if I need to wait for you...As long as it takes, I'll wait!" Finn gives a sincere smile, Skylar puts her hair behind her ear.

"There's only one of you after all" Finn says "you're so cute" Skylar says she kisses his cheek gently, Finn gets goosebumps.

Skylar smiles and leaves, Finn puts his hand on his cheek hopefully.

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

Chase continues to go behind the car with the motorcycle.

"Leo, Adam, how are you?" Chase ask "Oh you know Chase enjoying the trip to Death Alley!!!" Leo says "oh do you really know a place with that name?" Adam says.

"Hang on!" Chase says he approaches the car, with the motorcycle next to the car he scans to find the bomb.

Kaz flies ahead trying to clear the way, a woman in a car screams when she sees him flying next to the car "Don't worry, lady, I'm just a bionic on a normal day" Kaz smiles.

Chase tries to use bionics to deactivate the bomb but his bike can't keep up with the car.

"damn! I can't deactivate the bomb from here, the bike can't reach the car" Chase says.

"Relax, we're going to stop then you deactivate..." Adam says, Leo looks at him "Adam!" Leo says "what?... Ooh!" Adam says, Chase rolls his eyes.

"I can't believe I'm going to say this but...Adam, you're the one who's going to have to deactivate the bomb" Chase says "What!?" Leo screams scared.

"Why doesn't Leo deactivate it?" Adam says "he's the one driving it, Now I do what I say and exactly how I say!!" Chase says "Okay!" Adam says.

"Kaz how are you doing there?" Chase asks "Clearing the path, the street on the right is practically empty" Kaz says "got it!" Leo turns onto the street and so does Chase.

"Adam, get in the back of the car" Chase says, Adam goes in the back of the car while Leo keeps dodging cars and motorcycles on the street.

Chase scans the car with his bionic eye "The bomb is installed behind the passenger seat, I want you to carefully open the car's carpet" Chase says.

Adam uses heat vision to open the carpet to just below the car's structure, he spots the bomb.

"Okay, now what?" Adam says "Now I need you to open the lid of the bomb" Chase says "Adam pay attention, can you see the wires?" Chase says "Yes!" Adam says.

"I need you to cut the green wire" Chase says at that moment Leo makes a sharp turn and cuts the cell phone connection.

"What?" Adam says "I think he said green wire!" Leo says "Didn't he say blue?" Adam says "Guys?" Chase says the call cuts.

"Sure it's green..." Leo says "okay" Adam gets ready"or was it blue?" Leo says "was it blue or green!?" Adam says.

Chase appears in the window "GREEN!!" Chase says, they turn into a dead end street.

"Adam!!!!" Leo screams, Adam cuts the green wire and the bomb deactivates "I did it!" Adam says.

Leo brakes the car that stops millimeters from the wall, they both sigh in relief.

Leo gets out of the car and throws himself on the ground hugging the ground, Chase parks the motorcycle.

"are you guys okay?" Chase asks "Yeah" Adam says, Kaz lands nearby.

"Look, I hate to say this..." "No, you don't," Leo interrupts Chase "I told you so" Chase says.

"uh guys, I didn't want to be a killjoy, but.."Kaz points to the corner, Mr. Davenport and Douglas appear.

"Can someone explain THIS to me!?" Mr Davenport shows his cell phone and the news about the runaway car, everyone looks at each other.

"well I'll try to warn them but..." Chase gets on the motorcycle "Where did you get that motorcycle?" Mr Davenport says "Ask Kaz" Chase says.

"Do you have a license for that?" Douglas asks "Uh..." Chase accelerates the motorcycle "Sorry, I can't hear the sound of the engine, it's too loud. .." Chase says "Chase!" Mr Davenport says, Chase leaves with the motorcycle.

They look at Kaz "What? Uh I think Chase needs something " Kaz flies away, Mr Davenport rolls his eyes and goes back to Leo.

"Hey don't look at me, you're the one who gave me a car with a bomb in it!" Leo says "Bomb!?" Mr Davenport says, Douglas' eyes widen.

"Ooh" Douglas says, Mr Davenport looks at him "What does this Ooh mean?" Mr Davenport ask.

"Well, when I spied on them and planned my revenge in the shadows...I may have installed a bomb in your car" Douglas says "you what!?" Everyone says.

"Luckily you changed the car before the bomb was activated" Douglas says.

"Wait you were planning to blow up Mr. Davenport?" Adam says "You were going to blow me up!?" Mr Davenport says.

"I was in a dark phase and I like blowing things up, what did you expect?" Douglas says "seriously man this excuse doesn't work anymore" Adam says.

"Why didn't you uninstall the bomb?" Leo asks "I forgot! I did a lot of things and forgot a lot of things too... so if I were you I would be careful where you step" Douglas says, they looks at him irritated.

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

Later Harper and Finn are playing video games together, Finn loses but that doesn't discourage him, Harper smiles.

"what's up bro? You look happy" Harper says "Eh, I'm fine" Finn smiles.

"what happened to that Skylar thing?" Harper asks "Oh she's with Oliver and she seems happy, I'm happy about that" Finn says.

"So you gave up on her?" Harper says "No, Skylar isn't the kind of girl you give up on like that" Finn smiles, Harper smiles.

"Well, in that case good luck brother" Harper says getting up, Chase walks in the house excitedly.

"Darling!...take it" Chase throws a helmet to Harper, she takes it.

"what does that mean?" Harper ask "It means you, me...and a motorcycle, let's go for a ride!!" Chase smirk.

"A motorcycle ride?" Harper smiles "yeah!...but we have to hurry before Kaz insists on returning it to the owner" Chase says.

"Do you drive a motorcycle now?" Finn asks "not only do I drive but I do it perfectly" Chase says confidently.

"Since when have you been interested in motorcycles?" Harper asks she puts on the helmet.

"No many questions, just know that I'm really into it!" Chase smiles "Oh I'm not going to question it, because I like the idea" Harper says.

"really?" Chase says "Oh Yeah...I'm very into this too...." Harper points Chase up and down, he's also holding a helmet.

"Okay then, let's hit the road!" Harper winks at Chase, he holds her hand.

"Are you going to let me drive?" Harper asks "eh, maybe" Chase says "Chase!" Harper says, he laughs and lowers her helmet covering her face, she tilts her head annoyed.

"come on!" Chase pulls her as she shakes her helmet, and they both leave.
