Bree pov

"Bree you've got small hands. Come help me for a sec." Douglas called out across the lab.
I dragged myself to the other side of the room to where I was needed.

"what? no please." I questioned

"Please. There you happy."

"Yep" I said nodding my head.
"Anyway I just need you to reach for that little piece of metal I dropped." Douglas instructed pointing at the metal that fell inside his new gadget. I looked at him before doing anything.

"Pleeeease" douglas added. after that I tried wedging my hand into his invention to reach for the object.

"Douglas what is this for?" I spoke, struggling to grab the shiny object without breaking his invention

"well I wanted to properly thank Donald for letting me stay here after everything I have done. So I built him something in thanks. But You'll have to wait until I finish to find out." As Douglas finished speaking I finally reached the piece of metal and carefully pulled my hand out.

"Okay, well here you go." I handed him the metal and headed back to my magazine.

Douglas has really been making an effort with reconnecting with everyone. he has been here for about 6 months now. He's been spending a lot of time with his sons. Giving fighting tips and fatherly advice. Douglas never told them why their mother had left and He made me promise not to tell them, but to allow Douglas to find the right time to tell them himself.

I have to admit it has been great having him around. He has allowed me to get to know my parents more which means the world to me.

I looked up to the sound of the elevator doors opening. Walking out from the gap of the doors was the man I have been wanting to see for so long.

"Chase" I squealed dropping my magazine and to his direction, wrapping my arms around his neck. I haven't seen him for the last 3 months.

"I missed you chase."I whispered into the crock of of his neck, enjoying his comfort. I gave him a quick kiss on the lips before pulling away to look at his face. I reached my hand up to his cheek. Looking into his eyes. Struggling to belive that he is actually standing in front of me. he didn't look like he was in the best condition. He a few cuts on his face and I could tel he was weak.
"I missed you too." Chase responded pulling me closer, reconnecting our lips. I rested my head on his shoulder, Holding him in an embrace not wanting to let him go. Small tears fell down my cheek. Feeling a sense of relief, knowing that he was safe.

"Chase you promised me" I whispered into his ear as more tears slid down my face. I felt my heart drop. After so long not knowing if he was okay, just seeing that he's alive, I...I can't even find my words.

"I'm sorry" he whispered back.

"Chase...you're.... But how....." Douglas stuttered stopping what he was doing. I was reluctant let chase out of my embrace but I knew I had to let him say hi to his father.
Douglas gave chase a fatherly hug with a pat on the back. I saw chase's face harden at the pat. I ignored it thinking Douglas just hit him a little to hard.

"chase I...I...." Douglas spoke struggling to find his words. I knew how he felt. I was struggling to believe that chase was standing here myself.
I went back to chases side. I gave him another quick kiss. I'm just so happy he's back.

"Chase you don't look so good." I said keeping my eyes on him.

"I just need to rest."

I quickly grabbed him and super speeded us to our secret room so that chase could rest. Once we got there chase carefully sat down on the couch crunching his face in pain while doing so.

"Chase what's wrong." I asked sitting down next to him.

"Nothing I'm just a little stiff that's all." My eyes softened as I watched him in pain.

"Chase what happened?" I pleaded.
