# Episode 23| They Are Among Us
Everyone is in the living room when Bree walks in.
"look guys, Mr Davenport and Tasha are having a big wedding anniversary party this weekend" Bree says.
"Yeah, I saw the invitation, it's going to a fancy party" Chase smiles "fancy, like, the boring kind?" Harper asks.
"with you there, I'm sure this party won't be boring" Chase puts his arm around her and smirks, Harper smiles shyly.
"Hey I didn't get an invite!" Adam says "Adam you're his son" Oliver says "I know that's why I'm upset!" Adam says, everyone rolls their eyes.
"So we have a party to go to this weekend, cool" Kaz says "We need dresses" Bree tells the girls "No, I already have one...What I really need is makeup" Kaz smirk, Bree looks at him holding back a smile.
"I can't believe my mother put up with Mr Davenport all these years" Leo says "I can't believe we put up with Mr Davenport until now" Skylar says.
"I mean, Tasha took an oath to put up with him but we didn't so.." Oliver says "What are we still doing putting up with him? I ask myself that every day" Harper says.
"He's your father-in-law" Chase says "Oh...yeah, damn it" Harper says frustrated.
"I also don't know how we can still put up with a guy who doesn't invite his own son to his party, I feel sorry for Tasha" Adam says, still upset, everyone groans.
......................................................................
Later Melody walks in the penthouse, Chase is on the computer in the room with Douglas.
"Melody hi!" Chase says "Hey Chase... Douglas" Melody says "Hey Melody" Douglas says.
"where's Harper?" Melody asks "she bought a new dress and is trying it on, she's upstairs" Chase says "Okay, thank you!" Melody goes up the stairs.
Douglas follows her with his eyes until she goes up the stairs, Chase observes Douglas's gaze.
"Uhg I can't believe I'm going to say that" Chase shakes his head and stands up "What?" Douglas says.
"invite her to go with his date to Mr Davenport's party" Chase says "Really?" Douglas says.
"yes, Harper would like her mom to be at the party too and I think it would be a great opportunity for you two to have fun" Chase says "Are you okay with this?" Douglas says.
"Of course, I realized that bothering you is silly and that I was wrong, Dr Stone deserves someone who really cares about her just like you do" Chase says, Douglas smiles.
"I'm glad to see you finally found someone amazing like her, so don't let her get away" Chase says "Wow thanks Chase, that's very mature of you" Douglas says.
"But don't get carried away with It!" Chase says "and he's back" Douglas says, Melody comes down the stairs with a smile.
"What happend?" Douglas asks "Why don't you see it for yourselves?" Melody says, Chase and Douglas go to the living room "Harper!" Melody says excitedly.
Harper walks down the stairs in a long, wine-red dress and high-heeled sandals, Chase's jaw drops "So?" Harper says "Wow!" Chase sighs.
Douglas and Melody smile proudly "How am I?" Harper says, Chase goes to her "You look wow!" Chase says "you think so?" Harper smiles.
"You look so beautiful, daughter" Melody says proudly "you look incredible" Douglas says "Oh stop, you're exaggerating" Harper says.
"No, I always wanted to see a moment like that, I mean I always imagined you in a prom dress and stuff but..." Melody smile "thanks mom" Harper says.
"you're definitely going to be the prettiest girl at the party" Chase says taking her chin lightly, Harper wrinkles her nose.
"Say you love me without saying you love me" Harper says, Chase holds Harper's hands, and he gently kisses her hands.
Melody and Douglas watch the two and look at each other from the corner of their eyes shyly
"Aww, I love you too" Harper says, Chase smiles and hugs her and kiss her cheek.
"You really liked it because Bree thought blue would be better" Harper says "It's perfect Bree doesn't know what she's talking about" Chase smiles gently, Harper laughs.
"okay, I better take it off I don't want to ruin it before the party" Harper says "do you want some help?" Chase smirk.
"Hey, take it easy kid" Melody says "Sorry Dr Stone I...I forgot you were there" Chase says awkwardly, Harper goes up the stairs and Chase goes to the kitchen.
Melody laughs "those two huh" Douglas says "Yeah, but they're cute, I'm happy for them" Melody says.
Douglas quickly looks at Chase who gestures towards Melody.
"About this party, I wanted to know if you would like to go... with me?" Douglas says nervously "Uh I don't know, companions are allowed, your brother would agree, after all it's his party" Melody says.
"Of course, Donny and Tasha would love for you to come, and I'm sure even Finn would be welcome" Douglas says, Melody thinks "Okay" Melody says.
"I understand, you must have better plans..." Douglas says, Melody frowns "but I said yes!" Melody says, Douglas tilts his head.
"You? Saying yes?" Douglas says "yes" Melody smiles "are you okay?" Douglas laughs mocking her.
"Actually I've never been better" Melody says, Douglas is surprised by this answer, even Chase in the kitchen makes a surprised face with a smirk.
"Oh.." Douglas clears his throat, blushing "Good...So I'll see you there, or will you want a ride?" Douglas says shyly and anxiously.
"there's no need, Finn and I will meet you there" Melody smiles "okay...uh I'm going to love your company" Douglas takes a deep breath.
"me too" Melody smiles looking into his eyes, Douglas smiles awkwardly.
"well if I'm going to a wedding anniversary party I need to buy a gift..." Melody says looking away shyly.
"Oh what do I buy a couple of billionaires?" Melody says "Tip for you, don't go by Mr Davenport's taste but rather buy something that Tasha will like, it will be something more affordable she is easier to please" Chase says.
"Donny doesn't like anything that doesn't look like him or don't have his face on It" Douglas says "Oh thanks for the tip...I already talked to Tasha and I think I know what to buy" Melody says.
"See you tomorrow?" Douglas says "of course" Melody says she leaves, Douglas looks at Chase excited.
"If you're going to scream like a little girl who just got a pony, wait until I leave" Chase says.
"I'm going to marry that woman one day, Chase!!" Douglas says "Hey, take it easy man" Chase says, Douglas glares at him.
......................................................................
The next day everyone goes to Tasha and Mr Davenport's party, the party is in one of Mr Davenport's biggest mansions in the city.
Everyone was in formal attire, Mr Davenport invited business partners, long-time friends, members of Tasha's family and her friends, as well as the entire Elite Force, including Grace and Drew, in addition to several waiters who walk around the party serving drinks and appetizers.
"wow I'm not going to lie but Mr Davenport knows how to throw a party" Kaz chuckles "Yeah you should have seen his New Years parties, he has his own fireworks show" Bree says.
"woah really?" Kaz says "yeah, and on my birthday all I got from him was a hat that said "happy birthday Bee"" Bree says frustrated.
"Uh...was Bee supposed to be some kind of affectionate nickname or...?" Kaz ask "No, the guy at the printing shop wrote it wrong" Bree says, Kaz laughs, Bree glares at him.
Kaz clears his throat "I mean...Aww I feel sorry for you little bee" Kaz hugs Bree trying to comfort her, Bree smiles delicately at him.
"For the record I would never give you a gift like that" Kaz says "Aww really?" Bree says straightening his tie discreetly.
"of couse... I would write your name correctly on the hat, duh!" Kaz chuckles, Bree pushes him lightly and rolls her eyes.
Kaz laughs, Bree starts to leave "Hey wait, you don't even know what kind of hat it would be!" Kaz follows her.
......................................................................
Grace arrives at the party with Drew but she looks for someone in the crowd.
"What are you looking for?" Drew asks "Uh? Oh no one I mean...nothing!" Grace says.
"Are you sure? You seem anxious" Drew says "What are you? a therapist ! I said it's nothing" Grace says slightly uncomfortable.
"Grace, I know this isn't the best place to ask, but what's going on with you?" Drew asks "What do you mean by that?" Grace asks.
"You're acting weird, you've been ignoring me, You're never home when I come to visit you... So tell me what's going on?" Drew says "I'm a busy person" Grace says.
"does it have something to do with Adam?" Drew says "What? Adam? No, no one here mentioned Adam" Grace laughs nervously.
"Grace I'm just going to say it one more time..." Drew is interrupted when a waiter with a bottle of wine lightly bumps into him almost spilling the wine on him.
"Hey watch my suit!" Drew says, the waiter awkwardly adjusts the glasses and bottle on the tray "excuse me sir" the waiter says.
"Is this your first time as a waiter?" Drew says, Grace rolls her eyes in embarrassment "Maybe it is" the waiter says.
"But this is Mr Davenport's usual wait staff" Grace says "how do you know that?" Drew asks "I've been to some of his parties with my aunt" Grace says.
Drew frowns and looks at the waiter he clears his throat "I'm taking these glasses to Harper Davenport's table... Do you know where she is?" The waiter says.
"No..." Grace says "She's over there" Drew points, Grace puts her hand over face "Thank you sir" the waiter leaves, Grace looks at him.
"that was weird don't you think?" Grace says "It's just a stupid waiter, why do you care?" Drew says.
"There's something wrong, I felt a weird vibe...I think we better let someone know" Grace says "Knowing what? That one of the waiters is incompetent?" Drew says.
"why don't you trust me?" Grace says "why are you acting crazy, it's just a goddamn waiter!" Drew says.
"Sometimes things aren't what they seem" Grace says irritated "Hey guys enjoying the party?" Leo and Janelle approach.
Grace and Drew look at each other irritably "I don't think so" Janelle says to Leo.
"Should I tell a joke to lighten the mood?" Leo asks her "I think you shouldn't" Janelle says "Why do they invite ice cream to the party?" Leo says excitedly "Oh boy" Janelle says.
"because it's cool!" Leo laughs but that doesn't lighten the mood, Janelle tries to follow his laughter, Grace sighs.
"Leo, can I ask you a question?" Grace says "oh another jokester, go!" Leo says.
"No, um this is the same wait staff that Mr Davenport always hires right?" Grace asks "yes" Leo says.
"any new people on the team?" Grace asks "Not that I know of" Leo says, Grace smiles at Drew "so what? That's none of our business" Drew says.
"What happened?" Leo said, Grace looks around "that guy!" Grace points to the waiter.
"but that guy was always on Big D's wait staff" Leo says "what?" Grace asks "see!" Drew says.
"What did he tell you?" Leo asks "he said he wanted to take that tray to Harper's table, he wanted to know where she was" Grace says "Uh, Harper doesn't have a table" Leo says.
"what?" Grace says "when organizing the tables, big D divided our group between his children's tables, for example you are at my table, so whoever ordered it, it's for Leo Dooley's table" Leo says, Grace frowns.
"Harper is at Chase's table, so the waiter should have said, which was ordered it for Chase's table, not at hers" Leo says.
"He might have mistaken" Drew says "so why he went by the table like ten times and so far he hasn't served them anything" Janelle observes, everyone looks at the waiter and the table.
"Harper isn't at the table" Leo says and Grace looks at each other "I'm not crazy, right?" Grace says "well, you made a great point and it's you... so I would say maybe" Leo says.
"I think I'm getting good at this!" Grace says excitedly, jumping for joy.
......................................................................
Harper and Chase are near the front door with Douglas, he is anxious and paces back and forth.
"Douglas calm down" Harper says "did she trick me?" Douglas says "If she did that, she let us all down" Harper says.
"she would never do that, I'm sure" Chase says "trust Chase, apparently he knows her better than anyone here" Harper says sarcastically, Chase rolls his eyes.
"What if she forgot?" Douglas says "she has an edetic memory" Harper says "what if she regretted it?" Douglas says "she seemed pretty happy yesterday" Chase says.
"what if she hit a pigeon on the way!" Douglas says, Harper and Chase frown "I'm sure she wouldn't be half an hour late because of a pigeon" Chase says.
Harper receives a text "oh she texted me and said she is on her way, and that she was late because she hit a pigeon" Harper says "Really?" Douglas says "of course not, but it would be surprising if it were" Harper laugh, Douglas galres at her.
They see Melody and Finn getting out of the car.
"how am I?" Douglas ask "Like a hedgehog in a suit" Chase smirk "Seriously, you're really going to destroy my self-esteem now?" Douglas says "But it's not a bad thing after all Sonic has a girlfriend, so you have a chance!" Harper makes fun of him Chase laughs.
"relax, be yourself, she likes you" Chase says "Okay" Douglas says nervously.
Finn walks in and runs over to Harper to hug her "Hey Bro!" Harper says "Hey!" Finn says excitedly "Hey good to see you buddy!" Chase greets Finn "cool party!" Finn says.
"You look great!" Harper says "really? Do you think this outfit makes me look older?" Finn asks "Uh...sure" Harper says "great, where's Skylar?" Finn asks, Chase points and Finn leaves.
Melody enters shortly afterwards wearing a long black dress, Douglas smiles and you can see the sparkle in his eyes just by seeing her.
"I think it's best to leave them alone for now" Chase takes Harper's hand "Of course" Harper says the two go back to the party.
As they leave, Harper feels the gaze of that waiter, and two others, who look at her as if they know her, she feels something strange but decides to ignore it.
"Melody you look...wow" Douglas says, Melody smiles "seriously you look stunning" Douglas says, Melody wrinkles her nose.
"you look good in a suit" Melody says "Thank you" Douglas says, Melody takes a deep breath.
"shall we!?" Douglas gives her his arm to hold "of course" Melody takes his arm and they both go down the stairs at the entrance.
They pass by a vase of flowers, Douglas takes one of the flowers from the vase and hands it to Melody.
"A beautiful flower to a beautiful woman" Douglas smiles, Melody presses her lips together to contain her smile "I don't know if you can take this" Melody says.
"Oh here we go!" Douglas says "what?" Melody says "Here come you and your rules, so i propose something, just enjoy the moment if it's not too difficult for you" Douglas says.
"No one ever said you can't have fun in a contained way" Melody says "it's because it's something so obvious that it doesn't need to be said" Douglas says, Melody galres at him.
Douglas smiles "What?" Melody says "I love your restrained way, but I would really like to know the real Melody inside, the one who does whatever she wants without worrying about rules and who doesn't say no to everything" Douglas says, Melody sighs.
She takes the flower and smells it "thank you" Melody says, Douglas smiles and the two walk back through the party.
......................................................................
Mr Davenport and Tasha go to Douglas and Melody.
"Hey Donny, Tasha congratulations!" Douglas says greeting them both "congratulations" Melody says doing the same.
"Oh thank you for coming Melody, I was very happy when Douglas told us you were coming" Tasha says "thank you for having me" Melody says.
"I must say you two look beautiful together" Tasha says "take it easy honey they're not there yet" Mr Davenport tells Tasha "Oh!" Tasha says, Melody and Douglas look at each other awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say you guys are..." "It's okay!" Melody interrupts Tasha with a delicate smile "Really?" Douglas ask surprised "Yes! It's okay" Melody says calmly, Douglas smiles at her.
"how is your little girl Tasha?" Melody asks "Aw come see her she's grown so much" Tasha says, the two leave, Douglas watches Melody talk to Tasha.
"I was hoping you'd invite her to the party" Mr Davenport says "Yeah, actually Chase supported me on this idea" Douglas says.
"really? And he's fine with that" Mr Davenport says "Yeah, he's got his own girl to worry about now" Douglas says as they look at Chase and Harper across the room.
"Wow time flies" Mr Davenport says "yes, they are no longer children playing saving the world anymore, they are adults now..." Douglas says.
"yeah, that must deal with the consequences of saving the world" Mr Davenport says.
"Don't worry Donny, we did a great job whit them" Douglas hugs Mr Davenport.
......................................................................
Adam is taking entire trays of appetizers from the waiters.
"How many trays of these have you eaten?" Harper asks "I don't know, I don't count" Adam says "obviously" Chase says.
"but I'm sure it was more than ten!" Adam says "damn Adam, do you have a stomach or a black hole" Harper says "I like to add that as one of my bionic abilities" Adam laughs, Chase rolls his eyes.
"Look, I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be right back" Harper says "Okay" Chase says and she leaves.
Suddenly the waiter who had spoken to Grace minutes before passes by them and leaves the tray he was holding with Adam.
"Oh thanks man!" Adam says seeing the waiter leave in the same direction as Harper, Chase shakes his head just seeing Adam start eating more appetizers.
......................................................................
Harper is washing her hand in the women's bathroom, when she hears movement in one of the stalls.
She looks back and sees the feet of a woman in black boots, she slowly goes back to washing her hand, but she pays attention to the reflection in the mirror.
Harper wipes her hand and takes a deep breath "I know you're there" Harper says looking in the mirror.
She watches in the reflection as the cabin door opens revealing Tara, her sister, leaving the cabin.
"cool party, right?" Tara stands next to Harper, looking in the mirror, fixing her hair.
"What are you doing here?" Harper asks "I didn't come here to hurt you" Tara says "I don't believe that" Harper says.
"yeah, it's true, I think the right thing to say is that I didn't come here to kill you...If I were to do this, it would be in a place much more memorable than a bathroom" Tara says "How thoughtful of you" Harper says sarcastically.
"But if you cooperate, you might get away with it" Tara says "Are you alone?" Harper says "Of course not, this is a party to bring the family together, isn't it?" Tara says.
Harper closes her eyes "So he's here" Harper says "You probably didn't see him but he passed before your eyes" Tara touches up her lipstick, Harper looks at her confused.
"What do you mean?" Harper asks "our little brother has a lot of tricks up his sleeve" Tara smirk.
"The Waiter...his serum was created from the blood of a shapeshifter..."Harper looks at Tara scared.
"He can shapeshift!" Harper says "Bingo!" Tara smile.
"Now..." Tara takes a gun and points it at Harper "Be good cuz I don't want to mess anything up" Tara says "It's already too late for that!" Harper says.
She takes a step forward and holds the muzzle of the gun, Tara doesn't hesitate to shoot.
But Harper's super powers contain the shot, without making even a scratch on her hand, the two look at each other confused, Harper kicks Tara, who hits the wall.
Harper uses molecularkines to lift Tara off the ground and throw her into one of the cabins.
Tara falls to the ground unconscious, and Harper runs away.
......................................................................
Mr Davenport and Tasha are about to make a toast.
"Harper's taking a while, right?" Chase says "Girls always take too long in the bathroom" Adam says "Not that long" Chase says worriedly.
"She must have met one of the other girls there, they must be talking about guys or makeup, girly stuff" Adam says.
"I don't want my girl in the bathroom talking about other guys!" Chase says "Do you prefer her in the bathroom with another guy?" Adam says, Chase rolls his eyes.
"Okay, definitely something strange going on" Leo says "And with more than one waiter!" Grace says.
"what do you mean?" Leo says "they keep observing everything as if they were looking for something one moment and the next....It's like they were someone else" Grace says.
"that doesn't make sense" Leo says "I'm just saying what I saw okay" Grace says.
"wait look!" Leo points to a waiter putting something in Mr Davenport's drink "That's Big D's drink!" Leo says.
"what's that guy putting in his drink?" Grace asks "I don't know, but sugar isn't it!" Leo says "what are we going to do!?" Grace says, as they watch the waiter hand Tasha and Mr Davenport their glasses.
"Leo we have to do something!" Grace says "I'm thinking, but don't panic, stay calm!" Leo says.
Mr Davenport gives Tasha a quick speech "Cheers!" Everyone says.
Mr Davenport was going to take the drink "BIG D NO!!!" Leo screams in despair and throws a laser sphere at Mr Davenport's cup, everyone looks at him confused.
"Repeat the part about don't panic again!" Grace says, Leo makes an embarrassed face.
......................................................................
Meanwhile Harper runs through the rooms of the house, the mansion is big and easy to get lost.
She takes off her high heels and throws them away, she spots Chase in one of the rooms.
"Chase!" Harper says "Harper what happened?" Chase asks "Sebastian is here!" Harper says "What?" Chase says.
"we need to warn the others, and evacuate the mansion" Harper starts to head towards the door, Chase follows her in silence.
"And one more thing, he can shapeshift!" Harper says taking off the expensive bracelets she's wearing "Really?" Chase says.
Harper stops when she hears the tone of his voice, mainly cuz he didn't conclude why Sebastian would be able to shapeshift "yes" Harper says turning to him.
"That's not good at all" Chase says, Harper frowns slightly "Yeah" Harper says suspiciously, she takes a step closer to him "what?" Chase asks.
"Chase...say you love me without saying you love me" Harper gives a slight smile leaving her arms loose at her sides, Chase looks at her with slight confusion in his eyes.
"Uh I really...admire you?" Chase says nervously, Harper looks at him hatefully "Son of a bitch!" Harper says, she grabs his arm and trips him, making him fall to his knees.
Harper twists his arm with one hand and activates the laser boomerang that she uses to put it against his neck.
"It's me!" He says, Harper smirks "You need a lot more than a pretty face to fool me bro" Harper says, Sebastian rolls his eyes.
"okay you got me" Sebastian returns to his normal appearance, Harper pulls the boomerang against his neck and throws him to the ground, but Sebastian on the ground tries to shoot her with his powers.
"Okay, I needed something to liven up this party" Harper says "I completely agree!" Sebastian says, the two fight.
Harper uses molecularkines to push Sebastian under a chandelier, when he is under the chandelier she uses energy manipulation to throw the chandelier and its energy at Sebastian, he falls to the floor.
"I just wanna talk!" Sebastian says "I'm all ears" Harper says, Sebastian tries to get up.
"you're coming with me" Sebastian says "I'm not going anywhere" Harper says "so I'm going to make you" Sebastian shoots energy towards her.
Harper tries to protect herself she uses her arm with super powers, she contains the energy of Sebastian's powers this time and manipulates the energy back to him, he loses his balance.
Harper looks at her hand in confusion and disbelief, Sebastian prepares to attack again.
Harper sees that she needs to call for help and the attention of the rest of the team she sees a fire alarm nearby and shoots it to make the alarm go off.
......................................................................
"Leo, what's wrong with you!?" Tasha says, a photographer takes a photo of Tasha and Mr Davenport.
"Can you stop taking photos, does this look like a moment I want to remember!?" Mr Davenport says at the photographer pointing to his wet clothes and the bottom of the glass in his hand.
"Uh, I was just..." Leo says, he sees the waiter who served them approaching to clean the glass "Him! That guy!" Leo points out.
"he tried to poison Mr Davenport!" Grace says, everyone gasps in surprise "What?" Tasha says "Jeff!? No, why do you think that!?" Mr Davenport says "Yeah, I didn't do anything" Jeff says.
"stay still there mister! We saw you putting something in big D's drink!" Leo says "Oh uh.." Jeff says.
"Yeah, we saw you putting some kind of powder in the drink!" Grace says "Yes, it was an antacid that I asked them to put in my water!" Mr Davenport says.
Leo and Grace look at each other "Oohh!" Leo says "wait so you weren't drinking?" Grace asks "No!" Mr Davenport says.
"Why would you make the toast with antacid with water!?" Leo asks "why did you blow up my glass!?" Mr Davenport shouts impatiently.
"Okay calm down, can we go back to the party!? Thank you!" Tasha says, just then they hear the fire alarm.
"It's the fire alarm!!" Leo says, everyone in the party starts running to the emergency exits "Are you kidding me!?" Tasha whimpers.
"Harper!!" Chase says he starts looking for her and Adam goes with him.
"What's going on?" Grace asks "I don't know!" Leo says.
"we need to get everyone out of here!" Bree says, when some people reach the exit all the doors are automatically closed.
Tara, who had already recovered, went to the house's security center and got rid of the security guards, she locked everyone inside the mansion.
"No one is going anywhere" Tara smirk.
......................................................................
"Douglas, what's going on?" Melody says "Stay here and protect yourself" Douglas says.
"Finn! Where is my son?" Melody looks through the desperate crowd, Douglas activates something on his watch.
"Stay here I'm going to look for him" Douglas says he leaves "Douglas!" Melody says.
She sees Tasha going after Naomi and goes to help her.
......................................................................
"I don't understand, there's no fire!" Skylar says "It must be a false alarm" Oliver says "So who locked the doors?" Bree says.
Suddenly someone throws an energy sphere at them, and ends up hitting a table "Watch out!" Bree says while super speeding to protect Oliver and Skylar, the table flies above them.
"What was that?" Oliver says "I have no idea" a waitress approaches and goes towards them.
"who are you?" Bree ask "Good to see you again Teach!" The shapeshift waitress revealing herself to be Lexi, Bree's former student at the academy, and Sebastian's ally in the bionic rebellion.
"Lexi!?" Bree says "do you know her?" Skylar says "I was her mentor at the bionics academy" Bree says.
"yes, but it's time for the apprentice to teach the master!" Lexi says and prepares to attack "Not if I can stop it" Kaz suddenly appears and flies towards Lexi, kicking her to the ground.
"Let's go we need to find the others" Skylar says, Oliver makes sure Lexi stays on the floor by throwing a table in her direction.
......................................................................
The whole crowd tries to find a way out.
Leo takes Janelle to the basement of the house "Leo, what are you doing?" Janelle asks "there's something going on, something big, I need you to stay here!" Leo says opening the door.
"no, I'm leaving the house" Janelle says "There's no way out, and it's my duty to keep you safe so do what I say!" Leo says firmly, Janelle looks at him scared.
"Promise you'll come back for me?" Janelle asks "I'll never leave you...now go" Leo says "okay" Janelle says, Leo starts to leave.
"Leo wait!" Janelle says, Leo looks back at her and Janelle pulls him into a delicate kiss, Leo is surprised but he doesn't take long to surrender to the kiss holding her face.
Janelle breaks the kiss "go be a hero!" Janelle smiles, Leo smiles excitedly "It's hero time!" Leo says he runs off excitedly.
"Woah!" Leo screams in celebration and in the middle of the race he bumps into one of the waiters.
"Uh...oh my friend, the exit isn't this way" Leo says.
The waiter grows and shapeshifts revealing himself to be Tank, another former student who was Sebastian's ally "Tank!?" Leo says.
Tank shoots Leo with heat vision, he quickly dodges and runs away screaming, Tank follows him.
......................................................................
Grace notices the commotion with the rest of the team and tries to go help them, Drew holds her arm.
"Grace, let's go!" Drew says "No I need to help!" Grace says.
At that moment, Leo appears shooting laser spheres towards Tank, who retaliates with heat vision, Grace pulls her arm.
"I'll help them, you get out of here!" Grace says "Grace, stop, be realistic!" Drew says "What do you mean?" Grace asks.
"look at that, they're facing a bionic threat or something...what chance do you think you have against that?" Drew says "are you saying I'm not capable?" Grace says irritated.
"They are bionic heroes and you're just a good shot girl... What can you do?" Drew says, Grace looks at him angrily, she sees a glass of wine lying on the table next to him, she picks up the glass.
"Much more than you, you idiot!" Grace throws the wine on his suit and marches away, Drew gasps looking at her indignantly.
"My suit!" Drew says, Grace doesn't even look back, the laser spheres and heat vision destroy several tables.
Grace stands behind a column trying to think of how to act "Grace!" Mr Davenport says hiding behind a door, Grace looks at him and he points to an old piece of furniture.
Grace goes to the piece of furniture and Mr Davenport gestures saying that there is something under the piece of furniture.
Grace takes two laser guns from under the piece of furniture, Mr Davenport waves at her.
"Okay, it's show time!" Grace says turning the weapons in her hands
......................................................................
Harper fights with Sebastian, she shoots at him and he tries to fight back, but Harper dodges with spins and jumps.
She shoots him again and to dodge Sebastian starts flying, Harper activates the anti-gravity bionic skates and walks along the wall to reach him.
She jumps off the wall and grabs him, and kicks him down, throwing him towards the floor as she quickly attaches herself to the ceiling again, Sebastian falls on top of his own arm, breaking it.
He take a deep breath ignoring the pain to use his regeneration power.
Harper geo-leap to the door and runs away, halfway through Harper tears the skirt of her dress to make it easier to fight, she ends up with a dress that goes to her knees.
"damn dress!" Harper says throwing the rest of the leaves in a trash can.
Chase and Adam look for Harper and see Lexi and Tank walking through the mansion as well as Tara leaving the control room.
Chase spots Harper coming down the stairs on the other side of the mansion.
"We're trapped!" Adam says following Chase, Bree, Kaz and Oliver approach just as Harper, Leo and Grace are standing in front watching the rest of the team approach.
"Sebastian is here!" Harper says approaching.
Chase sighs and takes off his suit leaving just his shirt, he starts walking towards the center of the mansion while loosening his tie, Adam follows him.
"ELITE FORCE!" Chase shouts.
Harper approaches and starts following Chase and Adam, Chase looks at her and Harper smiles at him confidently and he smiles back but in a more serious way.
Skylar ties her hair up and follows them with Oliver.
Kaz sees a glass of champagne on a table, he picks it up and drinks the entire glass in one go, Bree follows right behind, taking off her heels.
Kaz throws the cup on the floor and fastens the buttons on his suit, he quickly looks at Bree and winks at her, Bree smiles.
Everyone stops next to Leo and Grace in the center of the mansion while Grace reloads weapons.
Tara, Lexi, Tank and Sebastian who arrives flying stop in front of them.
"Follow my lead!" Chase says they all get into fighting stance, just like Sebastian's team.
......................................................................
Meanwhile Melody, Tasha and Naomi are trying to protect themselves, Naomi starts crying and Tasha tries to calm her down but the house's fire and security alarms are still activated.

"What?" Melody said with rapid breathing "Oh sorry I'm being rude I'm Marcus" Marcus says.
"Should I know you?" Melody says "I'm a security Android that Douglas created especially to protect you and your family" Marcus says.
"He what?" Melody says confused, Marcus smiles "Did you know that?" Melody asks Tasha "uh... I can't hear because of the crying" Tasha uses excuses.
"Come with me and you'll be safe" Marcus says "Hey listen here weird robot I can take care of myself, maybe its creator doesn't think so but I don't need that!" Melody says.
"but my main mission is to take care of you!" Marcus says "I'll do you a favor and fulfill this mission for you...But now I need you to take them to a safe place and I need to find my children" Melody says.
"Are you sure?" Marcus asks "Yes!!" Melody says impatiently "Okay come with me!" Marcus says to Tasha and Naomi.
"Look, I don't know if you know but he really likes you..." Marcus tells Melody, she smiles.
"so don't die!" Marcus says, Melody makes a frustrated face, Marcus leaves with Tasha and Naomi and Melody goes after Finn alone.

Her agitation causes Sebastian to enter the room along with Tara.
"Hey Hey! Stay calm" Sebastian approaches her and she spits in his face.
"stay calm my ass, you tie me to a damn chair and you want me to stay calm!?" Harper says irritated, Sebastian wipes his face.
"You're right, sorry sis" Sebastian says "we thought you would feel comfortable at home" Tara says "what home?" Harper ask.
Tara turns on the light revealing where they are "My Lab" Harper says "Exactly, in the basement of our old house... Those were good times, right sis?" Tara says "I don't think you know the meaning of good times" Harper says.
"Relax Harper, we brought you here for a purpose, but we're going to resolve this like adults" Sebastian says, Harper looks at him with hatred.
"So I'm going to let you go and let you hear my plan...After that, you're free to walk out that door...Although I really think you'll want to stay" Sebastian releases Harper.
"plan for what?" Harper asks "I just want your help...to find the chip" Sebastian says he looks at Tara and gives a slight smile.
Harper laughs "Good luck, my chip is not compatible with your bionic structure and after the last update a chip compatible with yours no longer exists" Harper says.
"I never said I wanted one of Davenport's chips or any of those you said" Sebastian says, Harper shakes his head "it doesn't matter, I'll never help you...I'm out of here" Harper stands up and goes to the door.
"I want the chip made by you!" Sebastian says with a slight smile, Harper stops walking, looking scared but she doesn't turn to him.
"I want the chip you created...That chip" Sebastian says, Harper still doesn't look at him.
"I don't know what you're talking about" Harper says.
"You know, and if you don't know, it's good to remember...because I'm not going to let you leave without you telling me where the chip is" Sebastian says.
Harper finally looks at him slightly scared....
