It had been a few weeks since the showdown with Marcus and Douglas.
Harper had caught Lyla up on everything.
At first, Lyla did not take it lightly especially when Harper informed her that she and Leo had jumped into an active recycling center to rescue Adam, Bree and Chase.
Lyla believed her little sister was safe when she let her go over, but in reality, Harper was in danger multiple times. From a malfunctioning robot to a gas leak to a psychotic android, Harper narrowly escaped death about eight time.
Harper couldn't stop talking once Lyla learned about Adam, Bree and Chase's bionic secret. She finally had the chance to release all the thoughts she had been holding in, even providing a detailed explanation of how she was fine and survived all those times.
Lyla was distraught, but Harper reassured her with a smile about the ridiculous and non-deadly situations they were in most of the time thankfully. In fact, Lyla let out at laugh at how they handled things during it.
From the stories, Lyla could tell how important the Davenport-Dooley family was to Harper. She couldn't separate her from them without removing a significant part of her life.
Then there was the situation between Harper and Chase.
The two of them haven't discussed what had happened in the lab from a few weeks ago with anyone. This had created a slight awkward tension between them, leaving them unsure of what to say to each other.

When Harper received a phone call from Leo, the last thing she expected him to say was that Mr. Davenport's memory had been wiped.
Harper initially believed he had lost his memories from the past few days. However, when Leo revealed that he had erased twenty-four years of Mr. Davenport's life and provided more details, she became increasingly alarmed.
"What?! He's building a rocket chair?!" Harper exclaimed in shock.
"Just get here quick and help me!" Leo yelled before hanging up.
Harper stared at her phone as it beeped, indicating the call had ended.
Without hesitation, she rushed to the shed, grabbed her bike, and pedaled to her best friend's house.

Once Harper arrived at the Davenport mansion, she hurried inside and searched the living room, but found it empty. She wandered around, looking for the whereabouts of the others.
She walked into the kitchen elevator and pressed the button for the lab. She leaned against the wall as the elevator dashed down. It dinged when it came to a stop.
Harper walked out of the elevator and saw Adam, Bree, Chase and Mr. Davenport gathered around the cyber desk. Wire protruded from scraps and pieces of dismembered tech were scattered across the lab.
