"We have to get that gum away from Clarissa," Mika stated as she paced around the main room of the Man's Nest. She was obviously distressed about this and didn't know what to do. All she knew was that this was not good for them.

"How do we do that?" Miles asked.

"Yeah, we don't even know who that girl is," Bose added.

"I know," Mika complained. "But we just need to look her up on the internet or something and find her location. We need to get that gum away from her before she gets Chapa's superpower," she told herself in a panicked tone. She didn't know whether that theory was true or not, but as of now, she believed it to be.

"What do you mean by that?" Bose asked.

"Yeah, what?" Miles turned, confused.

"Our superpowers are locked inside our gumballs. Did no one pay attention to when Schwoz gave us the gumtubes for the first time?" Mika told them, then asked with the most confused look on her face. It was obvious they didn't. "Well, that girl could possibly get the superpower, and we need to make sure that she doesn't."

"What if she doesn't want us to take it back?" Miles asked.

"She has to," Mika demanded. "We're superior to her. We need to take that gum back before it gets out of hand."

"So, let's find her location," Bose said.

Mika headed over to her computer and started to research the location of Clarissa. It took a moment, but she was very excited when she found it. "Her location is not far from the Man's Nest. So, if we just head down there and try to persuade her into giving us the gum back, then we might be good. Then, after we do that, we have to try and persuade Chapa to come back to the team," she explained.

"Yeah, was she serious about that?" Bose questioned.

Mika nodded to that regretfully.

"Alright, so let's head down there and try to get this gum back so Chapa can come back to Danger Force," Miles said, heading up in the center of the room so that he could teleport them to the location of Clarissa. Mika and Bose huddled up next to him, and he teleported them out of the Man's Nest.

When they arrived at the location, it was weird. The house was bigger than in the pictures, and Mika was afraid that this would be harder than it looked.

"Everyone have their gum?" she asked them, pulling hers out from her back pocket.

The two nodded, and the three blew a bubble so that now they were in their uniforms. Shoutout knocked on the door, and they all waited for someone to answer.

"It doesn't seem like anyone is home," Brainstorm told them, looking around the house and inside the windows. He looked like a creep, and Shoutout was a bit confused.

"Well, it was worth a shot," Awol sighed. He started to head back out, leading to Shoutout and Brainstorm following him. The three were ready to leave when the door opened.

"Hello?"

They all turned, extremely confused. Shoutout was excited to see that she answered the door.

"Hey, girl!" She said it in her high-pitched tone.

"Um, Shoutout?" Clarissa was in dismay. "Oh my god! This is a wonderful surprise! Are you here to make me part of the team? This is literally the best day ever!" Clarissa was now thrilled. She started to jump around and then eventually rushed out of the house to her new teammates.

"N-No, Clarissa," Shoutout stopped her. "Clarissa, we need to talk to you about something."

"About my commemoration?"

"No," Awol answered. "We need to talk to you about all this." He gestured his hand to the uniform she was wearing.

"Oh, yeah. Um, how do I take it off?" she asked, confused.

"Just blow a bubble. Which is actually why we are here," Awol started. "We need the gum that the original Volt gave you back," he told her sternly.

Clarissa looked upset. "But she gave it to me because she said that she didn't want to be Volt anymore." She fiddled with her fingers, hoping the team members would catch on to what she was saying.

"Yeah, and we need it back so the original Volt can come back to the team." Brainstorm said, his face shamed.

"Can't I be on the team?" Clarissa asked them with a pout.

Awol looked uncertain. "Are you willing to chop all your hair off?" he then asked. It was clear that none of them wanted her to be on the team. They couldn't replace her.

"N-No," Clarissa responded, playing with her long hair.

"Then no, you can not," Brainstorm replied for Awol.

Clarissa frowned.

Shoutout felt bad for her. "Clarissa, please just give us the gum. You aren't supposed to have it, and if you blow more of those bubbles, then it can get dangerous. Volt's gum just had some issues, and it was making her so powerful that not even she could handle it. Just give it back." She hoped that her lie would be good enough for Clarissa.

It appeared the girl took a moment to think about it. "Okay, I'll go get it from my bedroom." She trudged back into the house and headed into her room to hand over the gumtube to the heroes. It was obvious she didn't want to.

Awol looked dismayed. "That was easier than I thought."

"Yeah," Brainstorm commented.

The three stood there without a clue of what to do. They would just have to wait until she came back with the gum.
