Perry looked at the tunnels


"why don't you go through there?" she asked


"I would but I don't know how to get in. plus, I can't stop them for me. they are gonna do great without me" I said with my smile on my face


"no, they arent." Perry said opening the tunnels. "let's go!" She said. I ran into the tunnels with her


=======================================



"Liz? How did you get out... I mean... Where were you?" Chase asked


"we were stuck in mission command. We had to escape through the underground tunnels." I answered


"Well, what's she doing here?" Chase


 "Queen's Gambit and I are besties now. Deal with it." Perry said


"The tunnel's coming down!" Bree yelled


"Liz!" Oliver and Kaz yelled


"guys!" 


"oh my god, oh my god." I said panicking


"Come on! best friend, blast us out" I sat down. 


I'm about to have another panic attack.

the last one I got was when Ms. Jameson found me.

I got them a lot as a kid but especially when my dad died.


"no! It isn't stable. The only thing preventing this tunnel from collapsing is this pile. Blasting us out is a terrible idea."  Chase looked at me


I started dry heaving.


I can barely breathe.


I can feel my heartbeat racing


 I'm getting dizzy.


I started shaking.


I cant feel my muscles.


yep. 

another panic attack.


I took my shoes and socks off.


(ATLA reference) I see best with my feet bare.


I started counting my toes and I took a breath each toe counted

Chase walked to me.



"Would you stop!?" he said. I went to whisper 


"I just get really bad panic attacks sometimes and when Kaz and Oliver are in danger they heighten so I-. um, might get one now. and one way I learned to relax is counting my toes" I smiled "Kaz usually help me through these" I paused "Kaz and Oliver are all I have left" He looked at me


"what about all your brothers?" I looked down


"I'm kinda not comfortable talking about it"  Chase rolled his eyes "I'm sure the team will find a way out" I said


"no, they won't" Perry said


"Perry!" Chase and I said. he separated


"I feel horrible, Chase. You wouldn't even be stuck here if you weren't trying to save our lives." I said


"Don't feel that bad. He's the one that locked you in mission command." Perry said. my eyes widened. I looked at Chase 


"What?! What is she talking about?" I asked him


"Yeah. What are you talking about?" Chase asked


"You purposely locked her in so that you could go on a mission without her and be leader again." Perry repeated. I looked at him


" Is that true?" I asked


"Come on, you're gonna believe a chronic liar?" he answered


"I resent you calling me a chronic liar, and so would my nephew Abraham Lincoln." 


I walked closer to Chase. 


almost tears in my eyes.


"I'm gonna ask you one last time, Chase. Is it true?"  I said, looking at him


"Yes, it's true." He said, looking down. 


"and I felt like such a bad person" I said "do you really have so much pride, so much resentment towards me that you'd do that!?"


 " No! What, did you watch the security footage?" He asked Perry


"Nah. I completely guessed. I had no idea but now I know you're just as bad as me. I also thought, what would I do if I was Chase, and was threatened by an amazing, vastly superior Bender and superhero? You really could be my son."
