Over time, Harper and Leo personalized their mission specialist desks. Leo's desk was decorated with action figures, while Harper's desk featured a picture of her and her sister along with a pencil cup.

Harper was engrossed in typing on her laptop when Adam, Bree and Chase entered the lab, excitedly discussing their successful mission.

"Guys, that was awesome!" Leo exclaimed, standing up from his seat. "You just prevented the biggest oil spill in history!"

Chase grinned. "Pretty slick, huh?"

Harper chuckled softly at his pun.

"If only we could've prevented that disaster of a pun." Leo deadpanned.

"Hey, Mr. Davenport. Anything you'd like to say to us, rhymes with, 'good job'?" Bree asked, holding her duffle bag.

"The answer's in the clue." Adam whispered.

Mr. Davenport approached the bionic siblings, holding a tablet in his hands. "What were you guys thinking?"

"Nope." Adam replied. "Not even close. Two more guesses."

"You completely ignored my mission plan, improvised everything, and jeopardized the entire mission." Mr. Davenport scolded before walking past them to the cyber desk.

"Mr. Davenport, we bust our butts all the time, and all you ever do is sit around the lab making lists of what we did wrong." Chase complained.

"I do not just sit around making lists of..." Mr. Davenport trailed off, looking at his tablet before hiding it away. "Things you did wrong."

"That's true." Leo chimed in. "He also practices Tai Quan Do in his tighty-whities."

Harper nodded. "Yeah, if I hadn't said anything he'd probably still be in them now."

"They are not tighty-whities. They are breathable exercise briefs." Mr. Davenport corrected.

Eddy then appeared on the screen. "Whatever they are, keep your swinging high kicks away from my screen."

Mr. Davenport turned his attention back to the bionic siblings. "Look, you guys got lucky this time, but without my precise planning you are opening yourselves up for disaster. So just follow my orders."

With that, he sighed heavily and began leaving the lab.

"Well, maybe your orders aren't always right." Chase retorted.

Leo and Harper exchanged wide-eyed glances before turning their attention back to Mr. Davenport and the bionic siblings.

"Um, excuse me?" Mr. Davenport demanded.

"He said, 'Well, maybe your orders aren't-" Adam began to repeat.

"I heard him!" He exclaimed. spinning on his heel and frustratingly walked out of the lab.
