3rd Person POV
Adam, Bree, and Chase finally woke up after being knocked out by Krane. Zoey, however, was still unconscious, the effects of the panic attack not worn off yet. As they got up, Douglas entered the room.

"Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey," Douglas sang, and then normally, "Actually, it's an expression. All we have to eat around here are nuts, berries, and the occasional barbecued iguana."

"Taunting us with nonexistent breakfast foods," Adam accused, standing up, "You really are evil. But I will take that barbecued iguana."

"Wait. Who is that guy?" Chase asked.

"Yeah, and what happened to Zoey?" Bree asked, unsuccessfully trying to shake her awake, "Why isn't she waking up?"

"Oh, she just had a little panic attack, that's all," Douglas said, "Which reminds me: you haven't been formally introduced to my partner. Krane, come say hi to the kids!"

"Wait," Adam said, "Now we have three dads?"

"No, he's not your family member," Douglas explained, "After I got booted from Davenport Industries, I needed cash to continue my research. Luckily, I found a billionaire who believed in me. Say hello to my colleague, benefactor, and all around bad guy: Victor Krane!"

Douglas pointed to Krane, who had put his mask on again.

"Why is he wearing a mask?" Adam asked. Krane promptly pulled down his hood and took the mask off, revealing his scars once again. "Aaah," Adam winced.

"Dude," Douglas said, "I have got to get you into a dermatologist."

"What is that stuff all over his face?" Bree asked.

"You're no longer the only humans with bionics," Krane answered, stepping forward.

"Krane agreed to fund my work so long as I shared my research with him," Douglas explained further, "He implants every piece of bionic technology I design to make himself more powerful."

"Well, I hope he's got a good personality," Chase muttered, "Cause what's on the outside, yikes."

"ENOUGH!" Krane bellowed. His face twitched, before he continued, "Let's go. We have work to do."

"Isn't he cool?" Douglas fangirled after Krane walked out. The trio just stared at him.

"You can cart out all the freaks you want," Bree said, "It's not gonna keep us here."

Douglas just laughed. "I beg to differ," he said. He pressed a button, and 2 rings lifted up around the four bionics and started spinning.

"Whoa cool! A giant ring toss!" Adam exclaimed, "Gotta give you credit. You're evil, but fun."

"They're titanium energy rings," Douglas explained, "They create an impenetrable force field that nothing can escape."

"I smell a challenge," Adam said, kicking the force field. It did nothing but make Adam jump back in pain.

"I smell burning flesh," Douglas taunted.

"What do you want with us this time, Douglas?" Bree demanded.

"Oh no, I'm not falling for that," Douglas said, "First I tell you my plan, then something goes wrong, then you use it against me, NOT GONNA HAPPEN!"

"Doesn't matter what your plan is. I'm sure Mr. Davenport is looking for us already," Chase said, "He'll be here any minute to take us home."
