The Davenport siblings and Wendy were hanging out in the lab as Donald and Leo came. "Guys, I need to prep you for a critical mission and to demonstrate, Leo--" Donald stated but got interrupted by Leo. "Anh-Danh. Mission Specialist Dooley. We will add a little more audio-visual pizzazz to the usual snooze-fest. Hey, you want a show? Kick the dough." Leo stated as he swiped a tablet to display fireworks on the console. "Tonight, I'm sending you to gather intelligence, Wendy. Please help them. Forever Knights have been spotted near the area." Donald ordered the group of teens before him; he figured it would be best to have Wendy tag along with this mission due to that one threat.  "Oh, you hear that, Adam? You'd better bring a big basket," Chase said sarcastically; this caused Wendy to elbow her boyfriend in the chest. "Please!" Chase whined as he looked at his girlfriend, who shrugged.

"Leo. I was satellite-scouting industrial sites when I found this warehouse, which I think is a front for Forever Knights. I sent the location to Ben, Gwen, and Kevin for confirmation. See these barrels? They are full of toxic chemicals. They're expensive to dispose of properly, so they're probably just going to dump them into the sea." Donald explained while Wendy looked at his tablet that the Forever Knights were interesting to her.  Bree was on the phone talking to someone when they told a joke that made her laugh, causing the group to turn to her. "Ben, you are so sweet. Yes, I will 'Bree' your valentine," Bree said, widening Wendy's eyes before turning to Leo. "YOU owe me a twenty!" the redhead shouted as she grinned. Leo groaned as he pulled his wallet out and handed the girl a twenty. "Yeah, we get it," Chase said as he watched his girlfriend and brother with a raised eyebrow. "Even I got it," Adam said as he shrugged. "What's going on?" Donald asked his son while looking at Bree with a raised eyebrow; sure, he trusted Ben, but that was a different story regarding his daughter.

"Ever since the chips, they have been hanging out. I am surprised he finally asked; Kevin will roast him later." Wendy said and chuckled softly. "I am not amused and will talk to Ben later. BREE off the phone." Donald stated before taking Leo's tablet. "Ugh! Fine. Tell us what you invented, what went wrong, and how long until it blows up." Bree said as she hung up on Ben, who could be heard laughing. "Look, the police cannot bust these guys without evidence. Also, I don't think they even know about the Forever Knights," Donald explained while looking at Wendy for confirmation; she nodded, confirming his thought. "The police cannot bust these guys without evidence, so I need you to sneak in and gather samples. Show them the barrel." Donald said towards Leo, who dramatically showed a barrel. "Now, there's only one safe way to get the samples, and Leo," Donald added, but Leo coughed. "Sorry 'Mission Specialist Dooley.' First, take the canister and attach it to the spout. Push down and turn 45 degrees. To create an airtight seal. Then pull the handle." Donald explained to the group while Leo struggled with the canister. Wendy glanced over Bree's shoulder as she was texting Ben. "Even his texting is horrible," Wendy said, making Donald look at the girls. "Bree!" "Come on! Why do I have to pay attention all the time? Strong. Smart. Fast. Let's do this already." Bree said before super seeding into the lab doors and falling. "Bree, how many times have I told you? No texting while speeding!" Donald scolded his daughter, while Wendy and Chase just ended up laughing.

Once the four teens got to the warehouse, Wendy used her Mana to create a light source for them as they made their way down the quiet halls. "They seem to be out of the building," Bree said as she stayed close to Wendy, who shrugged. "Forever Knights normally have a meeting around this time; Ben knows their schedule by heart after last week," Wendy said before placing her finger on her lips as they heard metal clanging. "They seem to know how to make an entrance," Chase mumbled, which made Wendy chuckle. Wendy spotted a bunch of Forever Knights protecting the barrels. "Meton weights!" She shouted as her Mana telekinetically pinned those targets against the wall, allowing the siblings time to get to the barrels. Chase noticed Bree's mission suit, which raised an eyebrow. "Hey, hey, this is a serious mission. You're not even in your mission suit." Chase said as Wendy's eyes widened before taking out another group of Forever Knights. 'Yeah! How are we supposed to know you're even on our team?" Adam asked as guns started to fire off. Wendy dropped the Forever Knights against the wall before throwing Mana at the others. "ADEO EXORIOR!" Wendy shouted, which caused a dome of Mana to appear around her, as did Adam, Bree, and Chase. "GUY'S, PLEASE HURRY UP!" Wendy shouted as the guns went faster.

Bree finally took the samples just as the Forever Knights grew closer to the group. "TEMPESTAS SERRECTUM!" Wendy shouted, summing a gust of wind that crashed the Forever Knights to the group, which allowed them to run out to her car. "Glad you are on our side," Adam said as they all got into the car before Wendy drove away. "Have you seen Gwen mad? WHO knows what Wendy could do when she's angry." Bree added, which caused Wendy to laugh. "Luckily for you guys, I don't get mad often," Wendy said, making the three laugh.

They returned to the Davenport home, though not with enough samples—just a tiny amount. Wendy returned home to shower with Donald Leo before returning to the lab. "Wake up! I want a complete debriefing about what went wrong last night without giggling when I use the word debriefing," Donald said as Wendy explained why they got so little of a sample. Adam and Chase came out of their capsules, all tired since Donald had woken them up. Once Bree, however, stepped out, the alarms started to go off. "Hurry, get back in your capsule! Get back in!" Donald ordered his daughter as she panicked before speeding back in.  "The system is detecting a high level of contamination in Bree's capsule," Wendy said as she, Donald, and Leo looked at the screen. "What? That's ridiculous. How could my capsule be...? Ohhh." Bree stated after realizing what it was. "Oh, what?" Donald asked as he raised an eyebrow at his daughter. "She was with Ben and had come late for the mission. Wendy almost passed out because Adam and I couldn't help." Chase said as he looked at his sister and girlfriend.

"Are you serious? I showed up! At least I am trying to have a social life!" Bree said as she folded her arms and gave her younger brother a look. "I have been balancing this thing longer than you, Bree. It takes practice to get it right. However, you knew you had a mission tonight, yet you went out with Ben, which caused us not to get enough of the chemicals. We had talked about it before. Adam and Chase were going to help me because of the number of Forever Knights stationed in case of a surprise attack. I know you didn't mean to forget your suit, but mistakes happen. We can from this." Wendy explained as Donald looked at the girl, surprised at how mature she had taken it. 

"Just because you have been battling aliens and stuff longer than us doesn't mean you need to lecture us about it." Bree snapped at Wendy as she felt attacked by the lecture. "We also try to have a social life but know when to come for missions," Chase mumbled, glancing at his girlfriend. "You have to stay in your capsule for a bit so your chip can be cleaned," Donald told his daughter, who protested. "But Ben asked me to come to his soccer game." "Ben would also understand why you are not going to go." "Fine, you're no fun," Bree said as she closed her capsule. Adam, Chase, and Wendy returned to the warehouse for more samples since Bree couldn't. Wendy instructed the boys to stay close to her as she shouted. "Abeo Exorior!" the spell caused them to return to the room with the chemicals.

Wendy had her plumber badge out as she and the boys went to the barrels. "Foxtrot alpha pickle. Are you receiving audio, Mister Davenport?" Chase asked into the badge. "Copy that, Pickle. Okay, Bree said the dangerous chemical she was exposed to came from a barrel with a green label on it."Donald stated that Wendy and Adam kept a lookout. "Pickle?" she asked the elder brother, who just shrugged. "Yeah, Bree isn't going to make it," Adam said, which caused Wendy to elbow him. " Wait a second. Bree said she wasn't wearing her gloves when she got contaminated. I've got her fingerprints stored in my database. I'll use my print recognition app to get a match. Yes! I found it. It's called neurothoxin. Is that bad?" Chase said, which made Donald scream.

"It's terrible! Exposure to neurothroxin interrupts connection between the brain and the muscles. There's no telling what it'll do to her bionics." Donald explained, which made Wendy's eyes widen. "What do we do now?" Wendy asked, "Well, I can synthesize an antidote, but you must get me a sample! And the effects become permanent after 24 hours. So hurry up!" Donald shouted before getting to work. After a long time, they finally got Bree back to normal. "Luck. Skill. We just put the whole thing behind us." Bree said as she and Wendy made up. "Guys I told you he was a witch!" Adam shouted as Donald held a broom. Wendy rolled her eyes and just laughed.
