It hadn't been too long since the shapeshifters attacked the city and got into Davenport Tower, gaining access to Mission Command. Bree Davenport, a bionic-superhuman hybrid, was thinking about that night as she looked at Centium City from the terrace. While the situation was bad enough for the Elite Force, Bree was more concerned for her brother Chase. The threat that got into Mission Command was his girlfriend, who was only using him to get the advantage for the shapeshifters. Not only was she working with them, she was one of them.

Bree could remember Chase's face after finding out the truth, he was heartbroken and was trying to process everything. After seeing her brother get hurt, Bree had taken matters into her own hands by temporarily striking down the leader of the shapeshifters with a lighting attack. Whether or not he survived the attack, she didn't know as she fled the scene afterwards.

"How're you holding up?" A voice asked behind Bree. She turned around to see one of her teammates, Skylar Storm. Bree sighed and looked back at the city as Skylar walked over and stood next to her. "It's Chase I'm worried about," Bree stated. "Reese dated him just to come after us from the inside." She said, reliving the moment they discovered it.

Skylar nodded in agreement, it was tough for everyone. "Douglas is recovering," She told Bree. "At least that's something good going for us." She said in an attempt to lighten the mood. Bree nodded and then let out a small laugh. "You know, it's strange," She stated as she reflected on the past. "Chase and I spent a few years hating the man," She admitted. "But now we can't imagine life without him in our lives." She added.

Skylar smiled at the thought. "It's kind of the same for me when Kaz and Oliver first came to Mighty Med," She replied. "I couldn't stand them at first," She began to explain before thinking about it. "Actually, no I still can't sometimes,"  She admitted, causing the two of them to laugh. "But I got close with them and they helped me with both Super and Normo situations." She explained.

The two of them stood silent for a second and Bree noticed a worried look on Skylar's face. "Are you okay?" She questioned. Skylar hesitated for a moment before speaking. "When you attacked Rodissius," She began. "If your powers didn’t work the way they did," She continued. "He could have killed you." She finished. "If you're looking for me to feel guilty, I don't," Bree stated. "I defended my brother and I'd do it again." She admitted.

Meanwhile, Chase was underground in Mission Command, working on the data to get his mind off things. Kaz and Oliver were across the room, feeling worried about him. "Chase, maybe you should take a break." Oliver suggested. "Yeah, I mean you've been at this for hours." Kaz added. Chase ignored them and kept going, knowing that they wouldn't give up. "We're all worried about you." Kaz said, trying to get Chase to stop working. It wasn't working. "Stop it!" He finally shouted in frustration. "Reese has the superhero list now," He reminded them. "So now I have to make sure to find them first." He explained while trying to contain his frustration.

Douglas walked in from the Hyperlift, overhearing the boys. "That's enough, Chase," He interrupted. "Calm down before Spike comes back." He warned. Kaz and Oliver looked at Douglas confused. "Who's Spike?" Oliver questioned. "Someone you don't wanna meet," Douglas replied before looking at Chase. "I talked to Donald and he agrees that you should step down for a while," He explained. "Mr. Davenport isn't here." Chase said, sternly. Douglas looked at him in surprise and disbelief. "And you don’t exactly have your head in the game," He fired back. "And until you do, you need to stand down." He finished.

Chase went silent as he left the computer and went up the Hyperlift. "Do you really think he's gonna just drop this?" Oliver asked Douglas. "Knowing him, not a chance," Douglas replied. "Donald is making arrangements to get here from Mission Creek as soon as possible." He informed them. "Until he gets here we just need to keep an eye on Chase." He stated.
