~Mighty Med Hospital~

"Welcome to Mighty Med, the world's best superhero hospital," Oliver announced once the group appeared in Mighty Med.

"Wow," Freya mumbled, scanning the room full of doctors, nurses, superhero patients. Gurneys and cots were lining the walls with a circular receptionist desk in the middle.

Leo looked around in amazement. "First, I get to travel through a wormhole, and now, I'm in a superhero hospital? This is the best day ever!"

"Dude!" Freya whacked his arm in disbelief.

"If you don't count the part where our brother got blasted and is about to die." Bree protested.

Leo scrunched his nose. "Wow. You really know how to ruin a guy's day."

"Where can we put Chase?" Freya asked, still holding his hand.

"Here. Put him over here." Emma beckoned them, and the group went over to a cot. Adam sets Chase on a cot, and Freya takes Chase's hand with both her hands.

Horace, the owner of the hospital, stopped by. Kaz got his attention. "Horace, Chase was blasted by the Incapacitator. He needs immediate medical attention!"

Horace gasped. "Oh no, not Chase. This is terrible! Who's Chase?"

Oliver pointed to Chase. "Him." Freya raises Chase's arm.

Horace walked up to Chase's lifeless body, putting his hand out. "Nice to meet you." Chase didn't respond. "He's not very friendly, is he? So, what type of superhero is Chase, other than an impolite one?"

"No, no, he's not a superhero. He's a human with a bionic chip that gives him super-abilities." Bree explained.

"Except for the ability to say hello. Chase, you're embarrassing us!" Adam scolded and Juliet whacked his chest.

Skylar Storm, a superhero, walks up to them

"What's going on? Who are these people?" Skyler asked as Emma greeted her with a hug.

"I'll explain later, but the short version is-" Kaz pointed to each bionic hero. "Uh, bionic arm, super strength, super fast, super fire, super electricity, and super unconscious."

"Can you help him?" Leo asked Horace.

"Don't worry. I have everything under control. Chase will be perfectly fine." Horace assured them, and this seemed to calm the bionic heroes down.

"Good," Freya sighed with relief, and raised Chase's hand to her mouth, kissing it. "You'll be okay, love."

"Em, Kaz, Oliver, come with me." Horace gestured to the three, and they walked to the other side of the room. "I have a conference to attend, but I'll brief you on what to do next."

"Horace, I'm so relieved you know how to cure Chase," Oliver said with relief.

"I was worried," Emma chuckled nervously, and Kaz rubbed her back.

"Ah, me too. But there is one minor issue. I don't know how to cure Chase." Horace confessed with concern. The teens gave him a look of shock.

"What?!" Oliver and Emma objected. Emma started to feel distressed, which isn't good for her anxiety. Kaz sensed it and moved his hand to her shoulder, pulling her closer to him.

"I'm sorry, but I've never seen biotechnology like that before." Horace reasoned.

"Then why'd you say you could cure him?" Kaz asked him.

"It's so much easier than telling people you can't cure them." Horace turned to a random superhero patient on a cot. "Good news, I can cure you!" The superhero smiled and Horace to the teens, mouthing "No."

Emma gulped nervously and walked over to the desk. "I need my anxiety pills."

——

"This is bad. We insisted we bring Chase here, we promised he'd be fine." Emma had her hands on her hips, taking deep breaths. She was in distress about not being able to help Chase. She can tell how important he is to everyone, especially Freya.

Kaz massaged her shoulders in an attempt to help her anxiety.

"Okay, if Horace can't cure him, we'll just have to figure out a way to do it ourselves. In the meantime, just pretend everything's fine." Oliver explained, and Kaz and Emma shared a look, nodding. "Act confident."

"I'll try," Emma sighed as Oliver walked by her and Kaz. Emma turned to Kaz, and he kissed her forehead, which sent an immediate sense of calm through her body.

"It will be okay." He whispered, and she nodded.

Oliver, Emma, and Kaz walk back over to Adam, Bree, Chase, Freya, Juliet, and Leo with their chests puffed out and their faces full of confidence.

"Well, dang." Juliet chuckled at their fake confidence.

Leo nodded, impressed. "Wow. These guys seem really confident."

Adam put his arm around Juliet. "Thank you for bringing us here and finding a cure for Chase. I have to admit, I had my doubts."

"We appreciate it," Freya smiled warmly.

Bree smiled. "Well, I never doubted Oliver for a second. He has such a trustworthy face. Just look at it."

Cut to Oliver eating an orange, and his face wrinkled and scrunched up, his tongue sticking out. "This orange is really sour."

"What?" Emma looked at Kaz, who shrugged.

Bree giggled, pinching Oliver's cheek. "Awwww. Look at his weird, cute, twisted face."

Skylar leaned to Kaz and Emma. "Uh, what's with that?"

"Oh, she has a crush on Oliver. I'll explain later...." Kaz told her, and Emma chuckled. "Well, although there really is no logical explanation."

"It's a nice sight to see at least," Emma shrugged, leaning her head on Kaz.

"Listen, we need to stop the Incapacitator. How long until Chase is good to go?" Leo asked the teen doctors.

Kaz stammered, backing away with Emma's hand in his. "Ah... you know, uh, I really wouldn't wait around for Chase."

"It's unpredictable how long it can take," Emma added.

"Yeah, I think some of us should focus on stopping the Incapacitator, and some of us should stay here with Chase, who will be fine. I'm fully confident." Oliver puffs out his chest, making a confident expression.

"Well, you do look confident, so okay." Freya nodded, convinced. "I'll stay with Chase if that's alright."

"All right, Leo, Rey. You two, Emma, and Kaz stay behind with Chase, and I'll go with Oliver because he is cute." Bree flirted, poking his nose.

"So are you." Oliet flirted back, poking his nose. The two giggled.

Skylar pops up in between them, putting an arm around their shoulders. 'I'll come too."

Emma raised an eyebrow at Skylar's odd behavior.

"Okay. Skylar and Juliet will go with you guys, and Adam will stay with us." Emma declared, and Juliet smiled, walking over to Oliver, Skylar, and Bree.

"The fun group," Juliet joked.

"Ah, cool. What's this thing do?" Adam picks up a reflex hammer.

"Oh, that's a reflex hammer." Oliver told him.

"Oh." Adam throws the hammer behind him and hits the lizard-related superhero in the head, who falls on the floor. Emma gasped, rushing over to him.

"Wow, he's got great reflexes." Adam chuckled as Juliet went over, pulling Adam over.

"Okay, new plan. Adam's on our team." Juliet said, and Adam put his hand up, chuckling.

——

Adam, Bree, Oliver, and Juliet went to the Rec Room as Freya, Leo, Emma, and Kaz stayed with Chase. Kaz and Emma were unsure what to do with Chase, but had to seem like they knew what to do. Emma wasn't very good as masking her anxiety and hated lying.

"So, aren't you going to do something to help Chase?" Leo asked Emma and Kaz.

Kaz and Emma exchanged looks of panic before Kaz spoke. "Yeah, um, we just have to give him a urine test. Chase...you're in what hospital right now?" Chase is still unconscious and doesn't respond.

Emma sighed, shaking her head. "He's failed his urine test."

Freya frowned, folding her arms. "You have no idea what you're doing, do you?"

"Before I answer that question, do you have any bionic ability to tell when someone's lying?" Kaz asked them.

Leo and Freya shook their heads. "No."

"Then we know exactly what we're doing." Kaz smiled, and Emma grinned behind him sheepishly.

"We're lying!" Emma admitted, covering her mouth.

"Emmie!" Kaz exclaimed.

"I'm sorry!" Emma apologized.

"We knew you were lying! We aren't stupid!" Freya exclaimed, getting irritated.

Leo sighed impatiently. "Chase needs help now. But the only person smart enough to figure out how to cure Chase is Chase."

Emma gasped in realization and grabbed her boyfriend's arm. "Hold on a second. You just gave me an idea."

——

Emma walks back over to them, wheeling over a machine with Kaz next to her. It was a machine that switched brains and slices deli meat and had a name that no one could pronounce.

"This is a neuro physiolomogra..." Kaz paused, trying to pronounce it. "Physiolog..." Emma patted his arm, and Kaz gave up. "Uh, it's a brain-switching machine."

"No one can pronounce it." Emma smiled and opened the deli slicer. "We also use it to slice deli meat."

"Fancy," Freya smiled, nodding.

"You're going to transfer Chase's brain into yours, cure Chase, then make a sandwich? 'Cause I'm starving." Leo remarked. "Freya?"

"I'm always hungry," Freya raised her hands, chuckling.

Kaz shook his head as Emma prepped the machine. "No, I'm not taking his entire brain. Just his coj-nitive..." He paused, struggling. "His conga-nit...his smarty bits." Emma grinned at her boyfriend, giggling to herself.

"He is switching his intelligence with Chase's super intelligence," Emma explained, and Kaz nodded with a smile.

"Is that safe?" Freya asked, worried for Chase, taking his hand.

Emma and Kaz shared nervous glances and turned back to the blonde. Emma grinned, waving her off, and Kaz chuckled.

"Totally," they replied, acting like everything was okay. Freya's eyes grew in horror, and she looked back at Chase with concern.

When Emma finished prepping the machine and placed devices on Kaz and Chase's heads, she pressed a button, and energy flowed between Kaz and Chase, switching their intelligence. The machine stopped, and the others waited with anticipation. Freya looked at Chase, awaiting to see if it worked.

"Did it work?" Freya asked.

"The only way to know conclusively would have been if we measured my baseline intelligence level before the transfer."  Emma was taken aback by Kaz, and Leo and Freya shared looks of shock. "But, based on my use of the phrase "baseline intelligence level", yeah, I'd say it worked."

"I have never heard you say most of those words before," Emma smiled, touching his arm. She was intrigued by this version of Kaz. Kaz smiled at his girlfriend, blushing faintly.

"So now you can cure Chase?" Leo asked.

Kaz nodded. "Yes," Freya sighed with relief, smiling. "But, more importantly. Turkey or roast beef?" Kaz gestured to the two types of meat, and Emma wiggled her fingers over them, grinning.

"Dude!" Leo protested, and Freya raised her eyebrow. "Obviously, roast beef."

"It's the best option!" Freya added, rubbing her hands together.

——

~Rec Room~

Oliver led Adam, Bree, Juliet, and Skylar into the Rec Room. The Rec Room was a training/break room for recovering superheroes.

"Okay, okay, I think, I figured out how to find out where the Incapacitator is." Oliver told the group.

Adam put his arm around Juliet's shoulders. "Me, too." With His free hand, Adam up a shirt with red and white stripes, and glasses. "We just have to dress him up in these red and white stripes and glasses, and tell him to go to a crowded beach."

Juliet patted his chest, smiling softly. "He's the pretty one."

Adam smiled, nodding.

Oliver blinked in confusion, taking a second to process what Adam said. "Okay...while you're doing that, I'll go find Ambrose, our comic book artist. His visions allow him to see superheroes and villains and draw their locations. He even sees him when they're sleeping. He's like Santa, except creepier and less jolly." Oliver ran out of the room.

"Okay, in the meantime, I'll recruit some superheroes to help us out." Skylar suggested."

"Thanks, but that's not really necessary. Adam, Jules, and I are here." Bree objected, and Jules and Adam waved, smiling.

Skylar shrugged, folding her arms. "Yes, I know but technically, you're not superheroes. You're more like super impressive appliances." Juliet frowned at the superhero, feeling offended. "Anyway, we can get the Crusher. He's the strongest man in the universe. Show 'em, Crusher."

Juliet snickered, sharing a smug look with Adam. She didn't even need to see the superhero in action; she knows Adam is stronger.

The superhero, The Crusher, starts doing weight lifts with a barbell, struggling slightly. Juliet sighed, smiling to herself, patting her boyfriend.

"Not bad, but Adam is easily as strong as that. Show 'em, babe!" Juliet gestured to the barbell after The Crusher had moved away.

Adam exhaled, before he pick up the barbell with one hand easily and tosses it backwards, hitting the Crusher.

"That's my boyfriend, the strongest man in the universe." Juliet gestured to Adam proudly. Adam went up to her and kissed her cheek.

"Well, guess the Crusher's not coming," Bree remarked sheepishly.

Adam pointed to the Crusher, who was still under the weight of the barbell. "Hey, dude, you're using those weights wrong."

——

~Mighty Med E.R.~

Emma, Freya, Leo, and Kaz were still with Chase in the E.R. They had gotten their sandwiches; Emma had turkey, and Freya had roast beef.

"Have you figured out the problem?" Leo asked Kaz.

Kaz nodded and held up his sandwich. "Yes. This sandwich needs more mayonnaise." Emma handed her boyfriend a bottle of mayonnaise. "Thanks, Emmie." Kaz put his sandwich down along with the mayonnaise. "Also, it seems that Chase's chip was destabilized by an excess of negative ionization. But we should be able to cure him with a positive electrostatic pulse. Freya, if you please."

Freya was taken aback, "Wait, so all I needed to do was shock my boyfriend?"

"In simple terms, yes." Kaz nodded.

"Wouldn't be the first time," Freya chuckled. Freya quickly shocks Chase, and he wakes up abruptly.

Freya gasped and hugged him tightly. "Chase!"

"Yay!" Emma cheered, jumping up and down.

Leo beamed. "You did it. It worked!" He held up his sandwich. "This sandwich is much better with mayonnaise!" Leo noticed Chase. "Oh, and Chase is cured."

Freya stepped back and watched Chase put on a disposable glove on his head. "Check me out, I'm a rooster!" Freya raised an eyebrow at her boyfriend's strange behavior. Chase tore off the glove, his smile falling and his eyes filling with worry. "What is wrong with me?"

Freya took his hand as Emma grabbed the glove from him. "Breathe, Chase. You were badly injured.

Leo nodded, standing next to Freya. "Yeah, so we had to temporarily switch your intelligence with Kaz's so that he could figure out how to cure you."

Chase gripped Freya's other hand, his eyes growing in alarm. "I have Kaz's intelligence? But I don't want to be...what's the word?" He grabbed the front of Freya's suit; she gasped. "I can't think of the word! My thinking place hurts!" He gripped his head in panic, breathing heavily. A beeping began to go off.

Freya put her arm around him, petting his head. "What's happening?!"

Kaz leads Leo and Freya away from Chase. Emma stayed near Chase, attempting to keep him calm.

"Chase's injury has created a hardware virus in his chip. It's causing the chip to generate protonic energy. He's stable for now, but if his blood pressure gets too high, he'll explode." Kaz explained.

"What!" Freya exclaimed, and Leo hit her arm as she covered her mouth.

"Shh!" Kaz and Leo shushed her. Freya mouthed "sorry" when she lowered her hand.

Leo sighed. "We cannot let him know that, or his blood pressure will skyrocket. We need to keep him calm."

"We can do that. As long as nothing bad happens." Freya smiled.

Right then, an emergency alarm sounds, and Chase starts yelling in panic. Freya threw her arms up in frustration.

"You had to say something!" Leo berated Freya.

"Oh, shut up!" Freya yelled at him before going up to Chase.

"Is that an alarm?! Are we under attack?!?! What's going on?!" Chase cried out in a panic, sitting up. Freya is now doing her best to calm him down. Her arms were around him, his head against her chest, and Emma was holding his hand.

Horace went up to them. "Don't worry, it's only a drill."

"A drill for what?!" Freya asked in distress, petting her boyfriend's head. Chase's hands gripped Freya's forearm, still hyperventilating.

"To test how panicky everyone gets when I set off a terrifyingly loud alarm!" Horace explained. Chase's hyperventilating increases, and Freya kisses his head gently, still holding him. "You passed the test. You also passed the urine test. You're in a state of panic!"

Freya rolled her eyes as Chase yelled. She glared at Horace. "These urine tests are absurd!"

——

~Rec Room~

Oliver walked back into the rec room with a drawing from Ambrose.

"Okay. I got Ambrose to draw the location of the Incapacitator. I also got him to draw this caricature of the five of us." Oliver showed the group the drawing of them. It was a caricature of them riding in the car with Juliet and Bree, superspeeding ahead of the car, and Adam was standing behind it, flexing his muscles.

Adam pointed to the drawing of Skylar. "That looks nothing like me. My ears are nowhere near that small."

Bree gave her brother a look. "That's Skylar..."

"Oh," Adam looked at Skylar, and grimaced. "Ew."

Skylar self-consciously hid her eyes, and Juliet rolled her eyes, rubbing her shoulder.

"Ignore him," Juliet mumbled before sighing. "Anyway...where is the Incapacitator?"

"According to this," Oliver shows them a comic of the location of the Incapacitator. "He's at the Eiffel Tower. We need to stop him. We can use the wormhole transporter to get to Paris."

"I love Paris," Juliet smiled to herself.

"Whoa, we're goin' to Paris? Boo-yah!" Adam cheered as he slammed a device into the ground, and it shattered. Juliet rubbed her forehead, shaking her head at her boyfriend's idiocy. "Uh, that broke."

"No more touching stuff," Juliet smacked her boyfriend's arm, pulling him toward her and the group.

Oliver tried his best to ignore Adam. "Okay, everyone ready? Huddle up."

The group huddled together, and Bree snuggled close to Oliver, who smiled at her. Skylar stepped in between them, and Bree rolled her eyes. The group teleported to Paris with the wormhole transporter. They landed on the Eiffel Tower, but the Incapacitator was nowhere to be found.

"Where's the Incapacitator?" Bree asked, as they looked around for the villain.

Skylar rechecked the drawing, getting a closer look. "Wait. Look in the background. There's a Statue of Liberty, the Great Pyramid, and King Arthur's Castle."

"The Incapacitator isn't at the Eiffel Tower in Paris. He's at the replica of it in Las Vegas." Oliver told them, and Juliet sighed impatiently.

Adam looked around with a scrunched-up nose. "Man, no wonder they call this the awful tower."

Juliet let out an annoyed exhale, putting a hand on his arm. "Babe, it's pronounced 'Eiffel". E-i-f-f-e-l."

Adam shrugged, "Pretty sure you just spelled falafel."

"Sometimes I wonder how you're dating him," Bree mentioned in confusion.

"I ask myself that every day," Juliet remarked, shaking her head.

"Okay, uh, no problem. We'll just use the wormhole transporter. It'll get us to Vegas in a matter of seconds." Oliver informed them.

Adam laughed. "Whoa, we're goin' to Vegas? Boo-yah!"

"Adam!" Juliet yelled before Adam threw the wormhole transporter on the floor, and it bounced out of the Eiffel Tower. Juliet covered her face, groaning with defeat.

"What did I say about touching stuff?" Juliet hit his stomach with irritation, and Adam shrugged at her, backing away.

"This is awful." Oliver groaned.

"I believe it's pronounced falafel." Adam incorrectly corrected, and Juliet rolled her eyes, done with his behavior.

Skylar looked at Adam with annoyance. "I can't believe you lost the wormhole transporter! Now, how are we supposed to go to Las Vegas and stop the Incapacitator?"

The three of them turn to look as Bree super speeds back, holding a falafel in her hand.

Oliver frowned. "Where'd you get that?"

"I do want a falafel now," Juliet said, staring at the delicious-looking falafel.

Bree swallowed her food. "At a street fair. In Tel Aviv. All this talk about falafel made me want one." Bree handed Juliet a falafel. "Don't think I forgot my bestie." Juliet gasped with delight, taking the food in her hands. Bree then pulled out a mini license plate with her name on it. "Oh, I also got a mini license plate with my name on it."

Oliver gasped, getting an idea. "Wait, that's it. Yours and Juliet's super speed. You two can use it to carry all of us to Las Vegas."

"That's a smart idea, but we can't carry everyone over water." Juliet reasoned.

"Can you guys take two of us, and then one of you run back and get the other?" Skylar suggested.

Bree and Juliet shared a look, nodding. "We could do that. I'll take Oliver first." Bree offered.

Skylar grinned. "I have a better idea. Juliet can take Adam, and you can take me. Then Juliet can come back and take Oliver."

"Thanks, make me do most of the work." Juliet sarcastically remarked.

"Or, I could take Oliver," Bree suggested, tugging on Oliver's arm.

"I think Juliet is capable of taking him." Skylar protested, pulling Oliver over to her.

"Mm, Oliver is just fine going with me." Bree pulled Oliver back over to her. Oliver was getting annoyed by the girls.

"Well, I don't care when I go, just as long as I'm not staying anywhere by myself. I get lonely." Adam admitted and pulled Oliver over to him. Oliver frowned up at Adam, and Juliet grinned in amusement.

Oliver groaned, pulling away from Adam. Okay, stop. This is getting ridiculous." He frowned at Adam again. "And weird... Besides, I think I have a solution."

"Thank you!" Juliet sighed with relief.

——

Bree and Juliet are now using their super speed to carry Adam, Skylar, and Oliver in a small carriage across the ocean. A jellyfish suddenly smacked Skylar in the face.

Skylar yelled. "Ah! A jellyfish!"

Adam laughed, taking the jellyfish from her. "Oh, man, if we had a peanut butter fish, we'd be all set.

Skylar glares at him and throws the jellyfish back in the ocean. Adam gave her a dirty look.

——

~Mighty Med Hospital~

Freya was holding Chase's hand, rubbing gentle circles on his knuckles. Freya was beyond relieved that Chase was alright; she was terrified he wouldn't make it.

"I'm glad you're okay," Freya sighed.

"Me too," Chase agreed and sat up in his bed. "And I'm sorry I allowed the Incapacitator to hurt you. It's my job to protect you, and I let you get hurt. Again."

"Chase, don't say that. It's no one's job to protect me. I'm alive, right?" Freya chuckled, leaning toward her boyfriend. He didn't find it amusing, so Freya sighed. "That's part of the job, being on a team and risking my life. It's okay."

"I know, I just worry about you. Especially after all that you have been through, it's harder for me." Chase admitted. "I don't want to lose you."

Freya softly smiled, seeing the pain in Chase's eyes when he said that. She brought a hand to his cheek, caressing it gently. "You won't."

He smiled warmly as she brought him in for a kiss. They separated when the doors opened, and Leo, Kaz, and Emma walked out together.

Leo was holding a cup of tea. "Hey, buddy. I know being in a strange place can make you tense, so I brought you some herbal tea."

"I have this weighted stuffed animal to help. I'm an expert on handling anxiety." Emma smiled kindly, offering Chase the stuffed animal. He gladly took it from her. It was a pink dinosaur.

"Aw," Freya muttered.

"And, uh, I thought it would help to listen to some relaxing whale songs," Kaz suggested.

Kaz attempts to imitate a whale song, which makes the others cringe at the awful sounds he is making. Emma covered her ears, and Freya was staring at him, horrified.

"That's not comforting at all!" Freya yelled over the noise.

"Stop!" Leo snapped, and Kaz stopped.

Kaz looked at them in disbelief. "I didn't even get to the chorus."

"We shouldn't have let you even do a verse," Freya scoffed, rolling her eyes. Emma giggled softly, but stopped when she saw Kaz's face.

"Sorry," Emma muttered, rubbing his arm.

Chase's phone buzzed, and he checked it. "I just got a text from Adam. Those guys are on their way to fight the Incapacitator in Las Vegas. We have to go help them!"

"Chase, you can't!" Freya grabbed him, pushing him down. Freya may be strong, but Chase was much stronger than her, and she couldn't keep him down.

Leo helped Freya with trying to keep Chase seated, and both are now struggling. "No, we can't! Fighting is stressful, and you can't be stressed out right now."

"Adam, Bree, and Juliet are in danger, and I'm gonna go help them!" Chase exclaimed with panic and pushed passed them to rush down the hallway.

Freya groaned as the rest of them followed him, stopping in the hallway. "Chase! It's not safe!"

Leo sighed. "Now what?"

"Okay, you and Freya go find Chase, and Emmie and I will get the invisible ambulance to take us to Las Vegas." Freya did a double-take at that, frowning in confusion. "But it might take a while. I forgot where it's parked. And it's invisible."

"Not to mention the keys are invisible, which doesn't help." Emma chuckled awkwardly, and Freya raised an eyebrow.

Leo runs forward, but immediately smacks into something invisible and falls to the floor. Freya snickered, folding her arms, and Emma smiled happily.

"You found it! Thank you!" Emma told Leo, who gave her a thumbs-up from the floor.

"Don't worry, the ambulance is right there to help you." Freya winked at Leo before she ran by him.

——

~Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas~

After over 6,000 miles of running across the world, the group made it to the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas. Bree and Juliet were exhausted; each tugging off a fish that had latched onto them.

"Man, that was the most exhausting run ever!" Juliet huffed, brushing her hair back and wiping any excessive sweat from her forehead.

"I know! I am spent. When did running 6,000 miles across mountains, ocean, and desert become so exhausting?" Bree questioned, huffing out an exhausted breath.

"Adam might have made things worse by dragging that giant tuna the last 5,000 miles." Oliver glared at Adam, who held up the tuna, but the Incapacitator abruptly blasts it out of his hands. The group backed up, immediately getting into their fighting stances at the sight of the villain.

"People come to Vegas for many reasons, I guess you come to be incapacitated." The Incapacitator told them.

"And for the buffet," Adam added, and Juliet whacked his arm.

"Adam, blast wave. Now!" Juliet orders, and Adam sends a blast wave at the Incapacitator, but he absorbs it.

"The Incapacitator's absorbing his energy!" Skylar exclaimed.

The Incapacitator blasts Adam to the floor, and Juliet rushes over to him, kneeling to check on her boyfriend.

"Adam..." She mumbled with concern as she helped him up. She checked his face. "You okay?"

He nodded before putting an arm around her body.

"Now, with the Davenport transponder, I can absorb all the power in the world and plunge the Earth into darkness!" The Incapacitator holds up the Davenport Transponder and absorbs all of the electricity from Vegas, causing everything to go pitch black.

"Give it up, Incapacitator. You're totally outnumbered." Skylar threatened, and on cue, the Incapacitator generated two more copies of himself. Skylar shifted awkwardly, shrugging. "Technically, you're still outnumbered, so my statement holds up."

Adam, Bree, Juliet Skylar start fighting the copies of the Incapacitator. Bree and Juliet superspeed one of the duplicates into the railing behind them, and use their superspeed to circle him, dodging his attacks.

The Incapacitator threw his arm out as Bree supersped to his other side, and she got blasted to the floor. Juliet generated her fire whip and slashed it at him, knocking him back, and sped over to him, but he managed to grab her abruptly and stopped her.

He threw her to the railing and leaned her over the edge. She groaned and grunted in her grip, unable to free herself. Adam rushed over and knocked the Incapacitator away from the redhead, and pulled her away from the railing before he attacked the Incapacitator. Juliet helped Bree to her feet, and they backed away, allowing Adam to take on the villain.

The girls saw Skylar taking one of the clones, and Bree sped over and her and Skylar kicked down the clone together. Juliet grinned, nodding her head at their teamwork.

The clone Adam was fighting fired a blast at Juliet, and she got knocked down. She flipped over, and the clone stood above her, a sickening grin plastered on his face.

Juliet generated fire in her hands and blasted it at the Incapacitator, which knocked him back. Juliet did a kip up to her feet, fire blazing in her hands. Before Juliet could attack anymore, the real Incapacitator knocked Juliet into the air, and she fell on her back with a loud groan.

Adam rushed over to her, kneeling by her side. "Juliet!"

Adam helped sit her up, and they witnessed the Incapacitator take down everyone, and he stood above a defeated Skylar.

"Say goodbye, Skylar Storm." The Incapacitator threatened.

Suddenly, Leo and Freya appeared behind the supervillain.

"Hello, Incapacitator." Freya greeted, before she sent a molecular kinesis blast at him, sending him flying. Leo and Freya rushed after the villain, and Chase followed them as Emma and Kaz stayed by Oliver. They watched Chase fight the Incapacitator with no issue.

"Em, Kaz, you cured Chase." Oliver smiled.

"Eh, not really. Uh, he's gonna blow up." Emma grinned nervously, and Oliver looked at them in shock.

"He has a hardware virus that's building up energy in his bionic chip. If his blood pressure gets too high, he'll explode." Kaz explained with concern

Oliver got an idea. "Wait a second. If Chase has a hardware virus, those can be-"

"-transferred to another device. I'm way ahead of you." Kaz interrupted and saw Oliver's confused frown. "I'm super smart now, uh, I'll explain later."

"It's weird to not be the smartest one in the relationship," Emma mentioned, and Kaz flashed her a smile, before realizing what she meant.

They got interrupted when the bionic heroes and Skylar got all thrown to the ground in front of them.

"I hope you're all ready to be destroyed!" The Incapacitator declared.

"I have a plan! Chase, jump off the tower." Kaz yelled to Chase. Freya sat up, horrified.

"Excuse me?!" She exclaimed.

Chase frowned in shock. "Do you maybe a different plan?"

"You have protonic energy building up in your bionic chip. You can't let him absorb it, or he'll be unstoppable." Kaz explained, looking at the Incapacitator to see if he is hearing them.

Emma leaned toward Kaz, "What are you doing?"

Kaz shushed her, putting a hand on her lower back.

"He has protonic energy in him? I'll take that, thank you very much." The Incapaciator began to absorb the energy from Chase. Freya went to grab him, but Adam stopped her.

"Chase!" She yelled in Adam's arms, "What's he doing to Chase?!"

The Incapacitator finished absorbing the energy, and Chase laid flat on the ground. Freya crawled over to Chase, checking on him.

"Chase is fine. All the Incapacitator did was remove the virus." Kaz admitted, and Emma smiled, understanding what Kaz was doing.

"Virus? What virus?" The Incapacitator asked.

"You know, the one that makes you explode if your blood pressure gets excessively high." Kaz explained, and Emma leaned an arm on her boyfriend's shoulder. "Like, if you realize that some kid in high school just tricked you and ruined your entire plan."

"WHAT?!" The Incapaciator yelled with anger, and his body began to grow with protonic energy.

"Yeah, like that. Everybody duck!" Kaz warned and grabbed Emma, pulling her down, and covering her head. Chase and Freya held one another, and Adam wrapped Juliet in his arms.

The Incapacitator blows up, and the power is restored to Las Vegas. Freya sat up, and she felt her entire body gain more energy as she stood up. She felt more powerful, like before the Incapacitator absorbed her electricity.

Freya generated her electricity, and she laughed. "Hey! I can use my electricity again!"

Chase patted her back, "I'm glad."

Freya smiled at him before shocking his arm. "Ow!" He yelled, jumping.

"That's for being an idiot." She hissed, poking his chest. He frowned, adjusting his suit, before Freya grabbed his collar and kissed him. She pulled away to see his flustered face. "That's for everything else."

She smirked and turned away, leaving Chase standing there with a tomato-red face.

"You did it. It worked." Leo praised Kaz

"Did you ever doubt me?" Kaz asked, and Freya nodded.

"Yeah, ever since the urine test," Leo remarked.

Chase gasped. "Wait. Adam's missing. Where's Adam?"

They all start looking around until Adam pops up slowly from behind the scaffolding, wearing the red and white striped shirt and glasses that resembled Waldo.

"There he is." Oliver gestured to Adam, and they all turned to him. Juliet chuckled at her boyfriend, finding his outfit adorable.

Adam groaned. "Oh, man. I'm falafel at hiding."

~Mighty Med Hospital~

Chase and Kaz are hooked up to the same machine, switching their intelligences back. Once it finished, Chase turned to Horace with eagerness. "Did it work? Please tell me our intelligence switched back. Please!"

Kaz was holding up a blown-up disposable glove and laughing, acting like he was a cow. "Check it out. I'm a dairy cow."

Emma chuckled, poking the balloon

"It worked." Leo raised his eyebrows as Emma hugged her boyfriend, kissing his cheek.

"There's my Kaz."

"Yay, there's my nerd!" Freya hugged her boyfriend, who chuckled at her softly.

Horace approached the three normaos. "Oliver, Emma, Kaz, congratulations. Well done." He shook their hands individually before turning to Chase. "See, that's how you respond to an offer of a handshake. Not like this." He imitated Chase when he was unconscious, and Chase frowned in confusion.

Emma tapped Freya, who turned to her. "Hey, um, I don't have many friends besides Kaz and Oliver, who's my brother, so it doesn't count, but if you ever want to hang out and talk about Taylor Swift, I would be down."

Emma's hands were shaking behind her back with anxiety, but that disappeared when Freya touched her arm. "Sounds fun. I'm down."

"Yay, great." Emma giggled, and Freya smiled at her. The two girls exchanged phone numbers before walking away.

Maybe one day they will fight together again. It could happen sooner than you think.

Emma went up to Kaz. "Freya's my friend!"

"See, I told you she would want to." Kaz assured her, and Emma smiled. "I'm proud of you, you've come a long way."

"Thank you," Emma blushed as they hugged tightly. Emma has struggled to make new friends, especially due to her anxiety, and Kaz has helped her every step of the way.

Oliver approached Bree, who took his hands passionately. "Oliver, I'm going to miss you. You're so smart and kind, and you remind me of someone, but I just can't think of who."

"Oh, is it Thomas the Tank Engine. I get that a lot. I mean, personality-wise. I'm not a train." Oliver awkwardly chuckled.

"No, it's not a make-believe train. It's someone I know." Bree shook her head, still thinking.

"He reminds me of Chase, your brother," Skylar mentioned, and Emma bit her lip, looking at Kaz. They knew what Skylar was doing, and it was obvious.

Bree gasped. "Yes! Chase! You remind me of Chase!" Bree looks at him, horrified, and drops his hands. " You remind me of Chase. Ew!" Bree walked away, and Oliver followed her, confused.

"Hey, what was that about? I thought you didn't like my brother?" Emma asked Skylar, fiddling with her fidget ring.

Skylar shrugged, accepting it. "Maybe I like him more than I realized."

Leo, Chase, and Freya were sitting in the same carriage that had been used previously, with Bree and Juliet at the front to superspeed them home. Oliver did a flirty yet weird dance move to Bree, who grimaced and looked away. Juliet chuckled, and Bree hit her arm with embarrassment.

Skylar retracted her statement, grossed out by him. "I'm over it."

"Don't speak too soon," Emma teased, and Skylar rolled her eyes.

Adam waved from his place by the doors. "Bye, guys. Sorry for breaking so much of your stuff." Adam pushed on the front doors, but broke them by accident.

"The doors open automatically." Oliver blinked with annoyance, and Adam chuckled, waving the smoke.

"Not anymore."

Juliet went up to her boyfriend and led him over to the carriage. He sat down, and Bree and Juliet sped off with the bionic team.

Horace jogged out and saw they were gone. "Where'd your friends go?"

"Oh, they left," Oliver answered.

"Without saying goodbye?" Horace asked and scoffed. "What were they raised in a basement?"

"Like a lab rat?" Emma asked, and Kaz grinned at her, rubbing her back.

"Yes, exactly." He agreed, and Emma grinned at him, resting her head on his shoulder.
