"Come on, pick up, pick up." Chapa paced around her room and listened as her phone continued to ring. She was afraid that it would get sent to voicemail, and she would be stuck with no superpower and absolutely no will to live.

It finally came in. "Chapa? Is that you calling?" The person on the other end of the phone spoke. It was her scientific friend, Schwoz, and she knew that he would help her out.

"Schwoz!" she exclaimed.

"Oh, hello, Chapa!" He sounded her name out weirdly due to his accent. She missed the sound of voice so much.

"Schwoz, I need serious help," she said hastily. "I need you to come down to my house right now."

"What? No way, brosef," he answered in his funny accent. "I'm with my princess right now, and we were just about to watch an episode of Genuine Moments," he said to her.

"No! I need you here as soon as possible."

"Why? You have Mika and Miles, oh, and Bosey too."

"This is something I haven't told them. It's much more serious, so I need you to come down like five seconds ago."

"Hold on, Princess!" Schwoz called from the other side of the phone. "No, it's in the pantry on the right side! Ugh, Chapa, I'm sorry, I gotta go." He was about to end the call.

"Schwoz! No! If you hang up on this phone, I will find out where you live, and the consequences will not be pretty."

"Okay, fine. Hold on, Princess!" he called out to her again. "So, what do you need, Chapa? What is so serious?"

"Can you just come over? I'll explain it to you then," Chapa urged, glancing around her room as she did. She felt so nervous, as she hadn't seen or talked to Schwoz in a while.

"Okay, finezies. I'll be there in a second."

Chapa was relieved.

When Schwoz arrived at her house, she hurriedly rushed him into her room. He was confused about what was happening and why it was so important for her as well. But as she explained what happened, then he started to have a better understanding. He almost knew how to solve this.

"So what's the matter, baby girl?" he asked, his eyes now expressing great worry as he did. He sat down on her bed and waited for him to explain it to him.

"I . . . I was in the middle of lying to Mika. Then a call came in. So, I asked to take the call on my own. The call involved Drex, and he beat the shit out of me. I actually started to bleed a little as well, and then . . ." She couldn't continue.

"You don't mean?!"

"Yes." She lowered her head shamefully.

"You lost your superpower?!" he cried out, his voice loud.

"Yes, and please, you can't tell anyone about this," Chapa demanded, waving her hands to signal that he couldn't tell

Schwoz had given her a look of disapproval. "Why not? Can I tell Ray? He's the one who knows the most about your superpowers." He stood up from the bed and started to pace around, unsure what he would do about this issue.

"Okay, fine, you can tell Ray," she groaned. "But we can not tell anyone else about this. I don't want them to razz me."

"Who would razz you?"

"They've changed, Schwoz. They've changed!!" she cried. "Just call Ray so we can figure this out, and I can finally go back to Danger Force problem-free."

Schwoz nodded and started to dial Ray's phone number. It took him a while, but he soon picked up and was mad.

"Schwoz! What are you calling me for? I'm on my boat with Credenza!" Ray yelled from the other end of the cellphone.

"Ray . ., I have a favor I need you to do for me," Schwoz said, making sure that Chapa was okay with what he said.

"Ew, what? I don't do favors for people, Schwoz," Ray then replied, his voice sounding annoyed and disgusted. "I am actually smart and do not have the time to waste on such dumb people like you. I actually have a-" he was cut off.

"Chapa has a problem."

"Oh! Why didn't you just say that, Schwoz? Don't worry, Chapa! Big Papa's coming!" The call quickly ended, as he was excited to know that it was Chapa with the problem.

"He's Big Papa," Schwoz clarified.

"I know that!" Chapa yelled, disgusted.

After about an hour, Ray arrived at the house and was super excited to see Chapa after so long. He had been on his boat for over two weeks now and had missed her so much. He walked into her bedroom and gasped upon seeing her. For some reason, she was always his favorite and he never understood why. But now she was able to see through him.

"Chapa! Oh my goodness, Chapa, I am so excited to see you! It's been so long!" Ray was quick to pull her into an embrace, much to her disapproval.

"Yeah, can we stop the hug, though?" she asked, disgusted. She pushed herself from his hold and then wiped the gross juices off her shirt. She could tell how excited he had been.

Ray wiped his eyes. "I missed you a lot."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, me too, but we have a serious issue on our hands."

Raymond sat down on her bed and waited to hear what the issue was. Schwoz followed him even if he already knew what the problem was. Ray started to become scared.

"Now, I'm going to show you something . . .," Chapa said, preparing herself for what she was about to do. "When I do show you, I need you to promise me that you will not freak out, okay?" She hoped that he would not be pissed at her.

She already took the bandages off, and the wounds healed; therefore, she knew she couldn't show them that. She warmed up her hands and then tried to electrocute any random object that was inside her room. She couldn't.

Ray watched with horror and astonishment.

Chapa kept trying but eventually failed, and it was obvious that her point was made clear.

Ray stuttered and couldn't speak real words.

"How the hell did this happen?!" he asked her, frustrated. He stood from the bed and looked her straight in the eyes.

"I can explain. I told a lie to Mika and said that I wasn't proud of my recent performances in battle. And then an emergency call came in. I asked if I could take it on my own, and she let me. The call was with Drex, and he kind of scratched my head, and it started to bleed."

"Oh god," Ray said, now in even more shock. "We need to figure out a way to get your powers back like now."

"Is this bad? Can I still get them back?" she asked him.

"Uh, no," Ray laughed, and then tapped his fist as if it were a microphone. "YEAH, THIS IS BAD!" he yelled in her face. "Kid, your power is probably going to be lost forever, unless Schwoz can come up with a way to get it to come back." He started to pace around the room, and he wasn't even the one with the lost superpower.

"No, no, no," Chapa cried. "Schwoz, please find a way to get my powers back. You must know how to do this, right?"

Schwoz looked uneasy and then nodded. "I'll do my best," he answered in an uncertain tone of voice.

Chapa sighed, relieved. She hoped that she would be able to have her power back. Her and Ray were both relieved.
