"Uh, Bob? Why are you wrapped in tin foil?" Bree asked, looking at the young boy as her, Leo, Chase and Jodie walked into the common area.

"It's not just tin foil. I'm also wearing three layers of pasta, tomato sauce, and cheese." Bob explained with a smile.

"At least he seems happy." Jodie shrugged, looking at the young boy.

"I turned him into a human lasagna pan. Forty-five minutes in the sun, and it's Bob appetit." Adam smiled.

"You know, given what I've seen of Bob's training, this might be the most productive use of him yet." Leo said.

"Jo, how's it taste?" Adam asked, looking at the superhuman.

"Mmm... Needs more oregano." Jodie said. Adam gave her a thumbs-up and ran off.

Perry then walked into the common area. "Mm, lasagna! Got any garlic bread?" Perry asked.

"You betcha. They're strapped to my shins." Bob beamed.

"I'll be back. Save me the greasiest piece." Perry said.

"Hey, where are you off to, and how long can you stay there?" Leo asked.

"Your cheap father forgot to pay the trash bill. I am so sick of working for a guy who won't let me throw trash in the ocean." Perry complained. She then blew her nose on a napkin and tossed it on the floor. She then left through the hydraloop just as Douglas walked into the common area.

"Guys, check it out. This is gonna change our bionic academy forever. I found a way to replicate Chase's bionic intelligence." Douglas said.

"What?" Chase asked.

"Yeah. Remember how Giselle Vickers wanted to give your intelligence to all of her androids? Well, this intelligence duplicator will wirelessly add it to everyone's chip." Douglas explained, holding a device.

"Wait, so you're gonna make me like him? Pass." Bree said.

"Don't worry. The five of you won't be affected. Your chips are older models,  Leo doesn't have one, and Jo's not bionic. But if this works, all the students will be just as smart as you. I just have to find someone to test it on." Douglas said.

"And do you really think that someone's just gonna let you randomly experiment on them?" Jodie asked.

"Sorry, Bob. It's getting cloudy. I'm gonna have to cook you in here with my heat vision." Adam said.

"Will it hurt?" The young boy asked, looking at Adam.

"Let's find out together." Adam smiled.

"Okay." Bob agreed. Adam then fired his heat vision at Bob. "Ooh, something's cookin'!" Bob beamed.

"Bob it is." Douglas said as they looked at the two.

Adam walked into the mentor's quarters, finding Bob huddled around the computer with Chase and Douglas. "All right, Bob, now that we've made body lasagna, we should do something important. What do you think, CPR training, volunteer work? Ooh, got it. We should figure out how many students we cram into the pool." Adam suggested.

"Easy. All you have to do is divide the average mass of the students by the pool's volumetric capacity." Bob explained.

"Aah! What's you do to my Bob?!" Adam exclaimed, looking at Chase and Douglas.

"Thanks to my intelligence upgrade, Bob is now as brilliant as Chase." Douglas said.

"Yep, I'm finally the whole package." Bob smiled.

"Isn't it great? I have an intellectual peer. We've been bonding for hours about the stock market, physics, and ancient philosophies." Chase said.

"Although we did have that tiff about Socrates. Ah, good times." Bob laughed out.
