Chapter 1: Chase doesn't remember
Summary:
The further you get in to the story; the better it gets!
Chapter Text
Chapter 1: Tw: referrenced/ slight mentioning of: (past) passing out, vomiting, implied memory loss, coma, fighting, bloodloss and a current concussion and hospital visit. (sorry if it's medically incorrect).
Chase opens his eyes and is practically blinded by the lights.
He's got a stabbing headache and he almost immidiately begins to cough.
He realizes that he's coughing, because he was breating through a tube.
Why was he intubated?
Had he been in a coma?
A nurse rushed in to his room. "Call Dr Leighton, tell her Chase Davenport just woke up".
"Easy their buddy, let's disconnect these tubes and turn of the ventillator now that you can breath for yourself."
Afterwards she handed Chase a plastic cup of water.
Then the doctor walked in to the room. "I'm glad to see you awake Mr Davenport".
Chase looked around kinda disorientaded.
He didn't need his superintelligence to figure out he was in a hospital and he had indeed most likely been in a coma.
But what landed him in the hospital was beyond him.
"What happened?"
Chase could barely get the words out. His troath felt dry even after he had some water.
"According to your siblings you were quite the hero. You saved your brother's life. I don't know the details, but your brother kept going on about how you sacrificed your life to save him. Give him a hug for us would you? He seems to really blame him self for what happened".
Even though Chase couldn't remember what happened, what the doctor just described sounded like something he would do.
He wondered which brother she was talking about.
The information she gave him was to vague, to be able to figure out, whether she was talking about Leo or Adam.
"Are my siblings okay? Adam, Bree and Leo?" Chase knew the doctor had more important things to do, but he couldn't help himself.
"Yes, they are fine. They all looked sick of worry though, but none of them are injured".
Relieve washed over him. They were okay.
He wanted to ask about Kaz, skylar and Oliver as well.
The last thing he remembered was a little confussing.
But if he had gotten injured in a battle, the elite force must have been there to.
"Are my friends okay?"
The doctor nodded. "Their are 3 non injured teenagers, who were wearing the same workclothes as you and some of your siblings. They were worried about you too, but they are also okay."
"They are all okay". Chase said it outloud, but he was really just saying it to ease his anxiety.
The doctor nodded. "Yes, but i was a little worried about the brother that looks most like you. He was the one you took the hit for and he was really upset about it. He refused to leave your side, had a terrible panick attack and then vomited and passed out from the hyperventilation. He's okay now though".
Chase was a little taken back by that information.
Neither Adam nor Leo looked like him.
He was guessing it, must be Adam since they are genetically related and Leo is technically not blood related.
He didn't see Leo as less of a sibling though.
Chase couldn't help but smile, at the realization, that he now had some good material to tease Adam with.
He was always calling Chase ugly and short, but apparently they looked a like to strangers.
The doctor cleared her throat.
"I'm sorry i got a little carried away. It was really touching to see how much your family and friends care about you. Even though some, of your siblings had to physically be dragged away from your side".
Chase laughed at that, because it sounded so chaotic and so like them.
It was good to know they cared about him, but it wasn't new to him. Chase had had his doubts in the past, but the memory of Giselle's lab had been permanently burned in to his brain. Chase hated that he had made his siblings feel like that again.
It was for a good cause though.
He saved his brother's life.
Which brother really didn't matter to him. He would go through hell for every single one of his siblings. Which he apparently did. And he managed not to die in the proces.
It occured to him that the brother the doctor was reffering to, could very well be Daniel.
Sure Chase hadn't grown up with him, like he had with Adam and eventually with Leo.
But he wouldn't mind it one bit if Daniel had been the person he risked his life for. It was worth it.
The doctor interrupted his thought process.
"You were in a come for 48 hours, because you took a nasty hit to the head. You don't seem to have any brain damage, but since you do have a head injury (concussion) you could experience some memory loss. It is not uncommon to experience some amnesia or confussion for coma patients. The dreams coma patients have tend to be very Visual, so your memories might be a bit mixed up. It's likely nothing permanent though. But their is still a lot we don't know about the human brain. We also don't know if you're situation is any different, since you have bionic intelligence. Your dad reassured us, that he will be able to do a thorough examine of you're chip and bionic infrastructure. Once you are released from the hospital. So try not to worry to much about that, you're body has already been under a lot of stress. You are not allowed to look at any screens for the first week. Which is standard concussion protocol. You're vitals seem fine. We got some bloodwork done, but everything seems alright. You did lose a lot of blood in the field. But your brother donated blood to you, so in a way you guys saved eachother."
Chase nodded. The Davenport/Dooley siblings had a habbit of doing so.
"Your brother was the best option, since you have a rare blood type and we also didn't know how your bionics would react to a blood transfusion".
Chase nodded, again.
He knew that he had bloodtype AB-. Adam, Bree and him all have it.
So it must be Adam then, who he risked his life for and who then saved him by donating blood.
Since he knew Leo had bloodtype O+.
It still could be Daniel though. He didn't know Daniel's bloodtype, but it would make sense for him to have bloodtype AB-.
But since Douglas never told them, if they had the same mom, he couldn't be sure. The doctor again broke his train of thought.
"You have a burn on your chest, since you were hit with a powerfull electric source. We treated the burn, but you should be prepared for a big scar to appear. After you're released from the hospital you still have to apply burn cream for some time". Chase nodded again.
He must have gotten burned by the powers of one of the shape shifters. Obviously the doctors knew about his bionics, but not about the existence of super heroes and super villains.
So yeah a powerfull electric source seemed like a okay explanation.
"Well then Mr davenport your sister and your 3 brothers are very worried about you. Would you like to see them now? We can't let everyone visit at once, but your friends and parents are in the waiting room as well".
Chase nods.
He really hoped the friends the doctor referred to, are the elite force. Who Chase did infact view as his friends.
The doctor quickly explained what medicine he had to take and then left the room. To inform his siblings, that he was awake and alert.
Chase is left alone in the room and closes his eyes. The light wasn't helping his headache, at all.
Then he realizes something. The doctor said 3 brothers. Not 2. Chase didn't know why that surprised him. He had already decided that it was a possibilty Daniel was the brother he saved. He and Daniel never became that close. He is a nice kid but, Bree and him left to the elite force almost immidiaetly. He never really got a chance to bound with Daniel. It's nice that Daniel is worried about him though. He's lucky to have such amazing siblings.
Then the door is opened with somuch force, that it just baerly stayes in it's frame. Chase can't help but laugh at that. Ofcourse Adam would break the door with his superstrength.
He didn't though.
Just for a moment, Chase would have preffered his siblings with no bionics. Because Adam and Leo hug him without thinking about their superstrength. Or without caring about it.
Anyway he's basically getting crushed. And Bree practically tackled him, using her super speed.
But he wouldn't change it for the world.
Wouldn't change them for the world.
He had his eyes shut, since the bright lights were giving him a headache. But he could have sworn he felt 4 pair of arms tangled around him.
Probably Daniel.
Chase had let his siblings crush him, because he understood that that's what they needed right now. He had been out of it for 48 hours. He had been close to death, once again. They had obviously been worried sick.
But at some point oxygen became a neccesairity that Chase was no longer recieving. "Guys, i need some air". He groaned. He was released from the strong grip of the 4 pair of arms.
He heard the door to his room open. According to the voices, he could tell that Tasha, Donald and Douglas had walked in.
"I'm glad you're alright son", Douglas and Donald said in union.
He could just imagine the hatefull glares they must have shared with eachother. Both thinking of them selves as chase's father.
"We were all very worried about you", Tasha explained. Chase heard his siblings walk over to the adults. Chase finally decided to open his eyes again. At first everything seems fine.
He locks eyes with Bree, who looks like she's been crying but is now smiling wide.
Then with Adam, who also looks like he's been crying, but Chase knows he would never admit it. Adam looks extremely happy to see him awake.
Then with Leo, he looks just as happy as his other siblings.
But then he locks eyes with the 4th figure.... and Chase thinks he's losing it.
He panicks and yells; "i'm hallucinating. Doctor you have to do a mri and check for brain damage! This is too weird, I want to wake up!"
His siblings look at him in confussion. Nobody understands what got him so freaked out.
Chase tries to wake himself up but, it's not working.
No matter how hard he tries, the 4th figure is still standing there. Confussion written all over his face.
Quite litteraly.
Because the guy that looks so worried and has eyes filled with fear and confussion, is Chase.
Or atleast that's the face Chase remembers seeing in the mirror everyday.
The guy looks identical to him. Chase can't take it anymore. This is to confussing.
"Who are you?!" Chase yells out.
His mind is racing.
This is a shape shifter isn't it?!
His siblings look hurt and turn to Donald and Douglas. "Dad you said he remembered us", Bree almost whispered it.
Adam nodded, looking just as hurt as the others. Donald and Douglas stared at Chase for a second.
"Yeah, when i talked to the doctor, she said he seemed fine."
Leo seemed a bit irritated. "But you said he was exited to see his siblings!".
Donald practically yelled back. "He was! The first thing he apparently did was ask; Are Adam, Bree and Leo okay?!.
And that's when it hit Donald.
And seemingly everyone else suddenly understood it too.
They all dramatically turned to the guy on the far left. The mystery guy wearing Chase's face. And those chlotes seemed very farmilair too.
Donald cleared his troath. "Hey buddy, can you tell me the names of your siblings and their ages and birthdays".
Chase nodded. Ofcourse he could. It wasn't his fault, that their was a freaking shape shifter standing in his hospital room, pretending to be his brother.
Chase started at the right side of the room, on purpose.
He sighted. "Your name is Donald Davenport. You probably lie about you're age, so i have no idea how old you realy are. But i can probably scan you and find out. Same goes for Douglas and Tasha.
Anyway standing next to you on the left is my sister Breana Destiny Davenport. But we call her Bree. She just turned 20 in December. She's a sagatarius. Leo used to think their fishy but, took it back when Bree told him she's a sag". Bree and Leo smiled at him.
Chase made a i told you i'm fine face. Or atleast that was his intention.
"That's Leo. Leo Francis Dooley. My little brother. My step brother but, we don't like to call him that. He's our brother. He's 18 now. He'll turn 19 on may 7th. He's got a biological little sister Naomi. She's our little sister too. Leo and Adam are still living on the bionic island. I miss them a lot."
They walked over to him. Leo hugged him and Chase ruffled his hair.
"Then we've got Adam. Adam Charles Davenport. He's 21 years old. His birthday is july 7th. He likes to throw me in to walls, but he's actually a pretty amazing brother". Now Adam hugged him. Chase cleared his troath. "Then there's me".
The guy with Chase's face seemed upset. Really upset. Chase didn't know why and he couldn't be bothered with it.
"I was born on august 5th. I'm 19 years old. My full name is Chase William Davenport. I currently live in Centium City with Bree Davenport. We're part of a elite force with Kaz, Oliver and Skylar".
Everybody looked at the "4th figure" apologetically. "Aren't you forgetting someone"? Adam said awkwardly.
Chase stared at them awkwardly.
"I mean i guess i forgot to mention Daniël, but he's not here right now. Same goes for marcus? But i don't know, if he really counts as a brother anyway. Since he tried to kill us".
Leo looked like Chase had just told him something really weird. "Okay i'm going to let that whole Marcus&Daniel thing slide for now. We were talking about him". Leo pointed at the guy that stole Chase's face.
Chase rolled his eyes. "The shape shifter? No, i think i'm good. So which one are you? Riker or Roman?"
The shape shifter looked like he was about to cry.
Bree grabbed Chase's hand. "Chase don't worry. You're okay. When you hit your head, we took out the last shape shifter. We won the war. That guy is really our brother".
Chase stared at her like she had gone insane.
He didn't even have time to process, that they won the war against the shape shifters!
Chase wanted to say something else. Yell that they had gotten insane. That guy wasn't their brother. But he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Come in", Douglas said. He sounded annoyed but, Chase shrugg it of. The mystery guy and the rest all made space, so the 3 new visitors could come in.
Skylar, Oliver and Kaz.
Kaz was holding a bunch of balloons, Oliver was holding a fruitbasket and Skylar was holding Chase's backpack.
The mysteryman put a hand on Kaz's shoulder. "Guys i don't want to upset you, but don't expect him to remember you".
Kaz looked like he wanted to cry, Oliver immidiaetly put a arm around Kaz and Skylar did the same thing.
It hadn't accured to Chase until now, that the mystery man hadn't spoken before. His voice freaked Chase out. Just like the rest of him, it was almost identical to Chase. The voice was a bit lower though.
Chase rolled his eyes at the mystery man. "Dude you're freaking them out! Don't worry Elite force, i did not forget about my friends. Don't listen to the shapeshifter. Kaz, oliver and Skylar".
The mystery man groaned in annoyance.
"Oh great so he remembers his brand new team and the boyfriend he's had for like a week, but he can't remember his own twin brother!!"
With that the guy walked out of the room. Slamming the door shut.
Adam runs after him. "Spike wait", Adam yells. To Chase it felt like the room was spinning.
He had a twin brother?! That was named Spike?! And one of the guys from the elite force is his boyfriend?!
Chapter 2: We're not messing with you
Summary:
I hope the first two chapters aren't to boring and short. I wanted to properly introduce the concept first.
I wanted to give Bree and Chase some bounding time, because i love their bound.
Notes:
Tw: cussing & implied memory loss.
Chapter Text
Everybody had left his room for now. Everybody except for Bree.
She climbed on his bed and hugged him.
"I'm so glad you're okay, i was worried sick. I love you, you idiot". Chase hugged her back laughing. "i love you too".
Bree pulled out of the hug and handed Chase a bottle of water, that she had brought with her.
"If you ever scare us like that again, i will kick you using my superspeed and launch you in to a wall".
Chase rolled his eyes. "You do realize that is nothing new for me right? Getting launched in to walls i mean".
Bree shrugged. "As long as you keep Spike by your side, Adam won't be able to throw you in to walls".
Chase snapped at that.
"Bree iknow you like messing around with me, just as much as the others do".
Chase sighed. "But please tell me who'se wearing the cyber mask?"
He sighed again. "First i thought it would be Daniel. But the guy claiming to be my twin brother is the same height as me. And since Daniel is shorter, it couldn't be him. I thought it might be Kaz. He's about the same height as me and he loves pranks. But he showed up as himself. Please just tell me! I'l play along with the prank. I promise. I just need to know, for myself".
Bree just stared at him. So Chase continued talking.
"And honestly don't you think pretending that i have some sort of weird amnesia is a pretty cruel prank??! I'd rather have Adam toss me in to the wall! But since i'm already injured he would probably refuse".
Bree looked at him worried. He didn't think he'd ever seen her this worried. She grabbed his hand, again.
"Chase i promise we're not messing with you. You seem to remember everything just fine. Except for Spike".
Chase shook his head.
He was not falling for this dumb prank.
"I'm not falling for it! Now stop lying to me and please tell me who i'm supposed to be dating, in this weird prank version of reality", he groaned.
Bree stared at him for a second. She looked sad.
"You don't remember that either?".
Chase eyerolled at her.
"Bree, i remember everything just fine. I'm still dealing with the aftermath of that B*tch of a Reese breaking my heart and betraying me. And i don't even think i'm over sebastian completely yet. So iknow for a fact i'm not dating anyone. Especially not one of the guys on our team. We have a strict no dating policy".
Bree let out a soft giggle. "Wow buddy, that's a lot of weird and wrong info you just dumped on me. I have a lot to tell you, but first things first. Lets start with that boyfriend of yours. And the fact that you're not heartbroken, not recently anyway".
Chase shook his head. "Reese was like a month ago, i'm not over her yet".
Bree squeesed his hand. "The doctor told us that coma patients have weird dreams sometimes. Even if you're only in a coma for a short amount of time, like you we're".
Chase nodded. The doctor had told him that as well.
Bree continued talking. "We were so worried. Spike had like 3 superagression attacks and tore the whole couch apart. Which we would have normally found entertaining. Adam's laser vision glitched so many times, you don't even want to know. Kaz was crying non stop and he and Leo spend the entire 48 hours in the waiting room. Adam, Spike and i were glitching to much, so we had to leave. Skylar stayed with me and Oliver stayed with Kaz. Trying to cheer him and Leo up with Superhero comics".
Chase looked at her.. as if she had just... wel if she had just told him he was dating his bestfriend and his commando app had magically turned in to his twin brother.
Who seemed to have some kind of bionic abillity called superagression.
Which Chase had only vaguely heard of once.
Oh wait she did just tel him all of that.
"You okay?"
Bree asked him and there by breaking his train of thought.
Chase swallowed?, his troath felt unusually dry.
"Yeah, i just.. i thought Spike was just my comando app? You know the alter ego, that i turn in to when i sense a threath or get too emberassed?"
Bree slowly shook her head, but she didn't seem annoyed at him. "Well no. You don't have a commando app but, what you just described is kind of how Spike's super agression works. See you guys share the same bionic abilities, like your laser bo, force field, bionic hearing, molecular kinesis, magnetism app, bionic eye/scan vission, facial recognition etc. Only you have super intelligence and he doesn't. Spike is the only one of the 4 of us, who doesn't constantly have access to his main bionic ability. Adam, you and i can always access our Superstrength, super speed and super intelligence but, Spike's super agression only activates when he's to emberassed or senses a threath. The same thing goes for his twin brother, so that would be you Chase. If you're in danger or if someone emberasses you for to long or whatever, his superagression gets trickered. It only works for the davenport twins". She smiles softly.
Chase rolls his eyes. "So, he's not a monster and bionic soldier that wants to rip every threath in to pieces and doesn't have a conscious?"
Bree laughs. "Well he is like that, but only when his superagression gets trickered. As long as that doesn't happen, he's a great guy. Don't tell him i said so though".
Chase smiles at that. "So do me and him get along?"
Bree smiles. "Yes, you're identical bionic twins. Practically attached at the hip! You have completely different charachters but, the same bionic abillities. And you're the one with super intelligence, but Spike is multilingual just like you. So you guys like to have entire conversations in random languages that we don't speak. It's very annoying. You don't do it in public though, since Spike refuses to let the outside world know he's multilingual. He doesn't want people to think that he's a nerd".
Chase laughs at that. "So he doesn't think i'm a weak loser?"
Bree shakes her head. "No, not at all. He can't stand it when people call you that. That's why Adam only teases and tosses you, when Spike isn't around. Spike is a jerk, when it comes to offensive jokes. Just like the rest of us, but you guys don't trashtalk eachother. And Adam only does it to you when Spike's not around. Same goes for Trent".
Chase nods. He understands the concept. It's just a weird idea. He clears his troath. He's got another question, that he's been dying to ask Bree.
"Am i really dating Kaz?"
Bree smiles at him. "Yes! And you guys are so adorable! It's disgusting!"
Chase sticks out his tongue to her.
Bree grabs her phone. "Here i got tons of cute pictures of you and him". Chase shoves the phone back in to her hands.
"Bree i have a concussion. I'm not supposed to be looking at screens. You know this".
Bree laughs. "Don't worry mr killjoy. We are prepared for this. She grabbed the backpack Skylar had brought with her. She opened it and grabbed a case for glasses, with the davenport industry's logo on it. She opened it and revealed a ugly looking pair of glasses." Bree practically shoved them on to his face, full of enthousiasm. "Mr Davenport and Douglas made this for you! I think they just needed a distraction to get their thoughts away from, you know you being in a coma. But they made these special glasses that are supposed to block out the light of the screens or something".
Chase rolled his eyes at her. "So they invented sunglasses?"
Bree laughed. "No, genius. I don't know exactly how it works and i don't care either. But they are supposed to make it safe for you, to look at screens even though you have a concussion. They made it because they thought, that you might like to look at pictures after you woke up. We were all a little upset after the doctor told us, that you'd might have some problems with your memory".
Chase just nodded and put on the ugly glasses. He wanted to make a snarky comment, but he couldn't think of one. So he just grabs Bree's phone and scrolls through the pictures.
He's overwelmed with emotions and thoughts. He looks really happy with Kaz and even though he doesn't remember dating him, he does remember crushing on Kaz.
He hadn't told anyone though.
When he scrolls further he catches a picture of the elite force in their superhero suits. His eye falls on the 2 Chase's on the picture.
Since Kaz and Chase are appaerently dating, he assumes that the bionic boy standing next to Kaz is him.
Chase hands the phone back to Bree.
"So Spike is on the elite force too?"
Bree nods. "Yeah, Adam and Leo stayed on the island and the three of us left to go to centium city. Nobody dared to seperate the twins", she joked.
It's weird to Chase. The boys on the group photo look identical to eachother. Sure their all wearing matching super suits and the picture isn't very zoomed in but, it's a weird idea. It freaks him out, that he can't even seperate himself from the other guy.
"Do you have some more pictures of the twins?" Bree laughs at how Chase pronounces twins.
She rolls her eyes at him. "I swear he's real! Why don't you look on your own phone? I don't constantly take pictures of my brother's".
Chase nodded "Okay, where's my phone?"
"Here, i was holding on to it for you". Chase looks up at the figure, standing in the door frame, holding what he assumes is his phone.
Bree stands up from the bed.
"Hey Spike, he is all yours".
Chapter 3: It wrecks me, to find out you know how to forget me
Summary:
Spike and Chase joke around, while they take a trip down to memorylane. Trying to convince Chase that it's not a prank and their really twins.
Chapter name is inspired by the song "forget me by Lewis capaldi". This song appears later on in the story.
Chapter Text
Still the same trigger warnings.
Spike walks in to Chase's hospital room.
Bree walks up to him.
"I've already explained your bionics and multilanguale stuff and i've told him all about how annoyingly overprotective you are of him. And i think he almost believes that you actually exist", she jokes.
She lightly slaps Spike in the face. "Watch it Princess", Spike groans but his voice stays the same as Chase's and he doesn't actually seem irritated.
"See Chasey, no cyber mask. Just the same weird face as yours".
Spike snaps at that. "Do not call us ugly, Breanna Davenport".
Bree holds her hands up. "Sorry! I forgot we can only insult Chase, when you're not around. Now go bound, i'm sure you'll be besties again in no time".
Spike sits on the bed next to Chase, who tries to break the obvious tension with a joke.
"Nice face".
Spike laughs at that."Nice glasses".
It's freaky and weird but, if this is really Chase's twin brother and bestfriend, he probably shouldn't be such a jerk to him.
Spike throws something at him, using molecular kinesis and then puts his arm around Chase's shoulder.
Chase glares at him, "what was that for?"
Spike sighs. "You're such a jerk. You scared the shit out of me. First you practically try to kill yourself to save me. Then you end up in a coma?"
Chase smiled apologetically.
He did do those things, didn't he?
He didn't remember doing so, but by the way his body felt, he couldn't exactly deny it.
Spike pulled Chase tighter.
"I was so worried i threw up and passed out. Which Adam kept making fun of. Until my superagression got triggered and i tore the couch a part and then offered to do the same thing to him. And now you can't even remember me".
Chase had been laughing, until that last part. Which was barely audible by the way , but he picked it up just fine with his bionic hearing.
"Hey, if it makes you feel better. I don't remember having a boyfriend either. I just remembered his name and stuff. But i didn't know we were supposed to be dating", Chase tells him.
Spike rolls his eyes at him.
"Chase, that doesn't make me feel better at all. Do you know how much trouble i went through, to get you in to this relationship?" he jokes.
Chase laughs. "What do you even mean by that?"
Spike laughs back. "You didn't even have the guts to ask him out, so I did it for you".
Chase punches him. "I've probably already done that, but I can't remember doing so and you deserve it, for pretending to be me".
Spike laughs. "Yeah you did get mad, but it didn't last very long, because you got all excited when i told you that my plan worked".
Chase grabs the phone from his twin.
"So i'm going to need a little more evidence, but Bree told me i'd find it here".
This time it's Spike who punches Chase.
However he barely feels it.
Maybe Bree was right.
Maybe this Spike was infact very protective over him.
"Damn dude, I spent the last 48 hours being a bionic mess. Not even to mention the shitload of blood i donated for you mister, and you choose to remember every single person in your life, except for me?"
Chase smiles apologetic. "I'm sure it will all come back to me. I am the smartest man in the world after all".
Spike rolls his eyes at him. "Yeah i did not miss that".
Chase smirks.
"Why couldn't you have just forgotten about Adam or something?", Spike groaned.
Chase raised his eyebrow at him. "Yeah, Bree told me that you don't like him".
Spike sighted. "I like him just fine. I mean he's a jerk to you sometimes, but he's also a really good brother to you *sighs* and me. You can't tell him that though. I'll deny I said it. He has to keep thinking I can't stand him, because if he stops fearing me, he'll start throwing me in to walls".
Chase smirks. "Adam does that to me all the time and he's still one of my bestfriends".
Spike raises his eyebrows at him. "Carefull their Buddy, iknow you can't remember it, but the last time you refferred to someone else as your bestfriend... I almost killed the guy".
Chase sights because, ofcourse Spike did that.
But then he couldn't help but laugh, again.
Because that seems like a Spike thing to do, in all universes.
Then Chase remembers that he has no idea what the code of his phone is.
Spike takes the phone again. " It used to be the first digits of pi, but then Bree realized she could google those, so now you have fingerprint regocnition".
"Spike even identical twins don't share fingerprints".
Spike rolls his eyes at him, again. "You're going to give me a migraine from all the times you make me roll my eyes at you" he jokes.
Then he unlocks Chase's phone, using his own fingerprint.
"Iknow that identical twins don't have identical fingerprints. But you have 3 different fingerprints connected to your phone. And those 3 people can unlock your phone. The 3 being; the fire freak and obviously you and me."
Chase laughs at that. "Fire freak?"
As if on cue the door opened. "Someone called my name?" Kaz jokes opening the door.
Spike sighs.
"Give me a few more minutes with this jerk, please. I still need to convince him, that I actually exist. He still thinks he has the luxury of not sharing his birthday, face, room, chlotes and bionic abillities".
Chase smirks at his twin.
Kaz nods. "Alright smarties you go look at some more pictures with your twin brother then. But i'll be back".
"Yeah, I already feared that", Spike teases.
Kaz rolls his eyes and closes the door, leaving the twins alone again.
"Smarties?" Chase questions. "Was he referring to me?"
"I hope so for his sake", Spike jokes.
When he sees the confused look of his twin he explains himself.
"Yeah, he was reffering to you. Of all the nick names he has for you, he uses that one the most frequently".
Chase nods in understanding.
Spike shows him a instagram picture of the two of them in boxing gloves. The caption says "boxing ft my twin brother".
And the username reads @SpikeDavenport.
The most liked comment is from: @AdamDavenport "it's not fair that Chase gets to punch you and I don't. And it's absolutely not fair that you don't let me use him as a punch bag".
Chase laughs at this.
Spike then shows him a picture that he already knows. It's from Leo and him when they won the robot competition. Except their is a Chase on each side of Leo. One of them obviously being Spike. Chase remembers this picture, on the version that he remembers it was just him and Leo though. Chase was standing on Leo's right side. So the identical looking kid on the left side must be Spike.
Spike shows him many more pictures.
A selfie from the two of them on their 18th birthday.
A picture of the two of them on the same day, shoving cake in eachother's face.
A selfie of the 2 of them in their mission suits.
A picture of Chase working on an invention in the lab and Spike sitting next to him, on his phone listening to music with airpods in.
A picture of the two of them doing martial arts.
A picture of Chase reading a book on the couch and Spike sitting next to him reading a comic.
A highschool yearbook picture of the two of them wearing the same chlotes; that reads "Chaz and Spook Davenport". The names have been corrected with a sharpie.
The next picture is a selfie of Bree, Kaz, Spike and Chase at a coffee shop. The twins are sitting in the midde, both holding mugs visibly filled with black coffee. Kaz and Bree are sitting on the outsides, both holding sugary looking coffee's topped of with lots of whiped cream. Bree is the one on the far right, holding the camera. Chase is assuming he is the twin on the left side, since Kaz and that twin are practically sitting in eachother laps, Kaz has his free arm wrapped around chase's shoulder and they are lovingly staring in to eachother's eyes.
Spike opens instagram again. He opens Chase's profile and scrolls down a bit.
He shows him a picture of the twins wearing rollerskates and Chase wearing a helmet.
His arm is wrapped around Spike's shoulders and in his free hand he is holding, what he assumes is supposed to be Spike's helmet.
Then he shows him a selfie featuring: Daniel, Leo, Chase, Spike and Adam. It's captioned @Chase Davenport: #nationalbrothersday.
The next picture is kinda similar. Except it's a group photo. Made in their home in mission creek. Their all sitting on the couch. Naomi is laying across the laps of Both Bree and Leo. Daniel is sitting next to Bree on her left side. Leo is sitting bext to bree's right side. Adam is sitting bext to Leo on the right side and the twins are sitting next to Adam. Everybody is smiling wide.
The picture is captioned. @ChaseDavenport: #nationalsiblingsday.
Chase has no clue which twin he is. But he guesses he's the one sitting next to Adam. Since it looks like, Adam is seconds away from punching the twin next to him. And if he learned anything today it is that: Adam doesn't punch Spike and only punches Chase if Spike doesn't see it.
Spike scrolls much further down.
Then he shows him A picture of a younger Chase and Spike, holding paper backs filled with food. The left twin is holding a chick fill a bag and the right twin is holding a bag that reads viva la vegan. Its capationed:
@chasedavenport: identical twins that couldn't be more different. #vegan vs #meateater.
Chase can't remember ever going vegan. But it seems like something he would do. And he stands behind the decission.
The next picture is a picture of Marcus, Leo, Spike, Adam and Chase Playing guitar together.
Chase sighs. "Let me guess. Marcus is not a killer android who technically has the same creator as us?"
Spike laughs. "Nope. He's Leo's childhood bestfriend".
Chase laughs at the irony. As far as he can remember Leo has always hated Marcus' guts.
"Speaking of childhood bestfriend's"
..Spike says and he shows Chase a picture of him and Sebastian. They seem to be pulling a prank on Adam.
Chase cringes at the sight of Sebastian. The guy that betrayed him, tried to kill him, tried to kill their dad, tried to start a bionic rebellion and broke his heart.
"Sebastian is my childhood bestfriend?!" Chase practically yelled it.
Spike shrugged. "I mean. We don't technically refer to him as that. Because like I said, when we we're younger he once called himself your bestfriend and i tackled him and made him take it back. I told him, that i'm already your bestfriend and i stand by my words".
As crazy as this still was, Chase couldn't help but laugh at Spike's attitude.
"So i never dated Sebastian right?" He finally asks.
Spike shakes his head. "No. You would have told me if you did. You tell me everything". Chase nodded.
"So I also never dated Reese?" Chase asks carefully.
Spike stares at him with extreme confusion.
As if that is the weirdest question he'd asked yet.
Spike's eyes slowly fill with what look like hatred and anger.
For a moment Chase is scared, that he has just triggered Spike's superagression.
Whatever Reese did in this universe, was obviously still bad.
Spike seemed to have collected himself again though. "No. She's not your type at all".
Chase glared at him in confussion. "Why would you say that? Because She's a girl?"
Spike shook his head. "No, you're bi, but that doesn't have anything to do with this. We all know Reese is known for betraying people. She's just a bitch. I don't feel like getting in to detail, about what she did. I hate her and so do you...I like you and Kaz together though. He seems to care a lot about you and he makes you really happy. He accepts you for who you are and he gets your humor. Not your nerdy jokes though, only I get those. But you're good for eachother and you deserve someone that treats you as good as he does".
Chase nods awkwardly.
"That's sweet Spike, i'm sorry that i don't remember you. I mean i do but, i remember you being my alter ego with no conscious. A soldier with no pitty. A monster with super strength".
Spike pretends to laugh at that. "Well he sounds kinda cool". But Chase sees right through him.
He can't imagine what that's like; having so many memories with someone and that person not remembering a single one of them.
"I'm really sorry". He whispers.
Spike puts an arm around him.
"It's okay bro, i'm loving your stories. Marcus a killer android! Sebastian well, i don't know what you think he did but, i'm sure it's something equally crazy. And Reese being your girlfriend. All of it is insane".
Spike now shows him a picture that looks like it was taken at a halloween party. Adam, Chase, Spike, Leo, Marcus and Sebastian are all wearing Starwars costumes.
"You don't want to know what Sebastian did. In my head atleast", Chase sighs.
A new figure walks in to the room. "I do".
Chapter 4: Sebastian isn't evil besties
Summary:
Since so many of you love Sebastian, i thought i'd make him Chase's non-evil non-bionic childhood bestfriend.
Chapter Text
Chase flinches at the sound of the farmiliar voice.
"That bad huh?" Sebastian said apologetic.
"Don't worry Seb. Atleast he remembered you exist", Spike jokes.
Sebastian takes place on the chair next to the hospital bed, that the twins are laying and sitting on.
"So why don't you tell me what kind of monster i am, according to you? I'm dying to know what you think happened".
Chase looks at him awkwardly. "Are you sure?"
Sebastian nods. "Absolutely. I mean don't get me wrong, i wasn't thrilled to hear, that my longest friend thinks we're enemies. But this is still better then staring at you're unconscious body. It was freaking me out. I left when you're siblings did".
"Except for Leo. Leo stayed, because he didn't glitch. So technically i could have stayed with you're boyfriend and little brother and Oliver and parents but, i went home. My siblings we're very worried about you as well. Taylor offered to come, but Leo didn't want his girlfriend their. Probably because he didn't want her to see him cry".
Chase raised his eyebrows at him. "Leo and Taylor are dating?!"
Sebastian laughed. "Yeah, i was surprised too".
Chase was still confused.
Taylor and Leo getting together wasn't that weird. He was happy for Leo, Taylor seemed like a great girl.
What did confuse Chase was Sebastian mentioning his siblings.
"Wait Sebastian, how many siblings do you have? Not all Krane's kids are you're siblings right?"
Sebastian looked at him confused. "I have no idea who Krane is, but i come from a pretty big family. My dad adopted a bunch of kids from the corrupted foster system. Taylor, Kate, Lucas, Bob, Spencer (spin), Lexi, Tank (Tyler) and I we're all adopted by this single; dad Victor.
"Wait so this dude adopted 9 kids? Is that even possible? as a single dad?"
Sebastian just nodded so Chase decided to drop it, for now.
Chase tried to change the subject, but they wouldn't let him.
Spike warned Sebastian. "Seb brace yourself. Chase thought Marcus was a killer android and kind of like a brother to us. Oh wait i mean them. Since he forgot about me. I don't know what else his crazy brain came up with, but it must be weird". Chase rolled his eyes at his twin, again. So this was a habit huh.
"Well if you must know...We were basically bestfriends. Atleast that's what everyone thought. We were dating in secret. We were really happy. Or atleast I thought we were. But then I told you about Victor Krane. Your evil creator, who controlled a bunch of teenagers and called them his bionic soldiers. You guys didn't have any memory of it but, I told you that we deveated Krane and that made you crave justice. So you tried to kill our dad. You also threw me in to a wall and nearly killed me, using a bionic ability that I unlocked for you. You unlocked all your hidden abilities, with the password i gave you. So you basically betrayed me or I guess turned on me? You also told me i was pathetic, for thinking someone would want to be my bestfriend. Let alone would want to date me. Then you tried to start a bionic rebellion, tried to kill Perry and my dad (like i already said). Then you ordered the other bionic students, (former soldiers) to murder my brother Leo. I tricked you in to using all your bionic abilities at once, which fried you're bionic infrastructure and Mr Davenport + Perry escaped. Spin... I mean I assume that's Spencer? He helped Leo escape as well. Who helped Adam, Bree and i take down you, Lexi and tank. Who i'm guessing is you're brother Tyler. Then we took out your bionic chips, when you were unconscious. Afterwards we sent you guys to jail".
Spike and Sebastian stared at him with open mouths.
Sebastian was the first person to break the silence.
"My siblings and I were bionic in your dream?! Awesome!"
And if Sebastian blushed a little when Chase mentioned they dated, Chase and Spike didn't notice.
Spike rolled his eyes. "You included some of Sebastian's siblings in your dream, but not you're own damn twin?"
Chase laughs.
After everything he just told them, that is all they got out of it!
He's about to make a sassy comment about it, but Kaz comes storming in again.
"Is it finally my turn to talk to the smartest man on earth?"
Seb groaned in annoyance. "Please don't remind him".
Chase smiled at his (supposed) boyfriend.
Then he turned his attention back to Spike and Sebastian.
"Wait i have one more question!"
They all stared at Chase. "Shoot".
"Spike, you said Sebastian was my childhoodbestfriend".
Seb nodded. "Yes, but we don't refer to us that way, for the sake of my safety", he said glaring at Spike.
"So does that mean that Adam, Bree and i didn't spend the first 15 years of our life in a basement? Isolated from the world?" They all looked at him like he was insane.
"And I thought Chase thinking Sebastian dated him and then dumped him by trying to kill him, was the craziest it was going to get". Spike said while holding back tears of laughter.
"Imagine how more messed up you 2 would have been, if you'd grown up isolated in a basement". Sebastian joked.
Chase could tell Spike didn't find it funny.
"So should I take that as a no?". Spike nodded. "Yeah Chase, our childhood was crazy, but not that crazy".
Kaz started to grow impatient. "Can I please talk to my boyfriend now??!"
Sebastian and Spike stood up. "Sure".
Spike handed Chase his phone before he left.
"So Chase, do you finally believe I actually exist?"
Chase smirked. "I believe that you're a very talented editor. Cloning me on every picture you showed".
Spike punched him for that.
"I'm not your clone, i'm obviously prettier than you".
Kaz interrupted them. "I disagree".
Chapter 5: Reese is still evil, but with a twist!
Summary:
We've finally gotten to the beginning of the CHAZ interactions people! And now you'll find out what happened during the battle. Except for the big plottwist. You've got to stay tuned for that one. It will be worth it. Anyways Reese is still evil, because it's Reese. Her story is different though! I think this might be the very first fanfic with a SpikexReese (past) relationship! Understandable tbh. I hope you love it, this is the best chapter yet.
Chapter Text
Tw: implied/referrenced cheating in past relationship, non-graphic villionce, refferences failed but attempted kidnapping, implied/refferenced attempted self sacrifice to save a loved one
Spike glared at him and Kaz stuck his tongue out at him. With that Sebastian and Spike left the room. Leaving Chase and Kaz alone.
"Tell me what is going on in that beautifull brain of yours". Kaz whispered as he sat next to Chase on the bed.
"Can i hug you?"
Chase nodded, "just be mindfull of the burn wound on my chest".
"Obviously". Kaz's arm felt safe and farmiliar around him.
Chase may not remember being in a relationship with Kaz, but he could get used to this.
"I'm sorry", Chase whispered.
Kaz looked at him confused. "For scaring me to death? Yeah well you should be! I don't think i've ever cried that much in my life. Don't ever do that again"!
Chase smiled softly. "I'll try not to".
Kaz held him tighter. "Do you even remember what happened?" He asked while playing with Chase's hair.
"I have no idea. But my head hurts like a bitch and I seem to have the weirdest case of amnesia ever. And i'm still kind of freaking out about being in a coma for 48 hours. Which i guess explains why i've got my memories so mixed up. But i don't remember what happened that got me to this point. Bree did mention we we're fighting the shape shifters and we won. So i'm glad the war is over".
Kaz nodded. "You sacrificed you're life to protect the people you love. Like you always do".
Chase laughed akwardly, that did sound like him. But he already knew this, since the doctor had told him the same thing.
"Ofcourse i did, so let me guess i took a hit for you and landed on my head?"
Kaz kissed him on the cheek. "I'm glad you didn't. I wouldn't have survived the feeling of guilt, if i was the one you were trying to protect, which ultimately lead to your coma".
Oh right! Chase had completely forgotten, that he had previously been trying to figure out which brother he saved.
So he already knew it couldn't have been kaz, that he risked his life for.
"So which brother was i trying to protect?".
"Spike", Kaz answered.
Oh that makes sense. That's what the doctor meant when she said. The brother that looks most like you.
And that's why Spike said you almost killed yourself to save me.
And Bree told him how protective they were of each other.
"Spike and Adam to be more specifically, but if you hadn't shown up the blast would have more likely knocked out Spike, rather than Adam. Your intention was to rescue both of them, but Spike was the one really in danger. Since the villain was specifically focused on hurting Spike. You protected your brothers with a forcefield, but she kept going after Spike. So you pretented to be Spike and she took you out, thinking she took out Spike. Probably wishing it too".
Chase looked at him in confusion. "Who is she?"
"Spike's ex girlfriend. Shape shifter Reese".
"Wait what but if she betrayed Spike why is she mad at him?'
Kaz sighed. "It's kind of a long story, but basically Spike and her had been dating for quite a while. Then her dad lost his powers.
I don't know if you remember this. I hate talking about it..."
Kaz groaned. "ut i will bring you up to speed....So Oliver and i took Rodissius' powers, to save his life. Their wasn't another option. We wished their was. We already wished that when we took them. But obviously even more, when we realized that it turned his family of superheroes in to super villains. Roman, Riker, Reese and their other siblings then destroyed mighty med and attacked the daventower afterwards".
Chase nodded. "I Knew all of this. And it's not you guys' fault. You saved his life. A real superhero is still a hero when he/she loses their powers. Look at Skylar. She always stayed a hero, even without her powers. You can't take the hero out of a super hero, even if you take the super out."
Chase let that sink in for a second, before he added.
"Meaning he never really was a superhero to begin with. Just a guy with superpowers that used his super powers for good things. And made his kids use them for bad things, when he lost his".
Kaz looked at him, eyes filled with wonder.
"I have missed you're analyzes babe. I love that beautiful brain of yours. Even if you sometimes say things that i only understand like 30% of".
Chase laughed. "While that beautifull brain of mine is currently pretty messed up".
Kaz kissed him on his forehead. "It will be okay babe, let's not stress tomuch. I'm sure it will all turn out to be okay. And in the meantime i will just talk you up to speed.' Chase nodded.
Kaz sighted again.
"Okay so Reese caught you and me making out, which made her think that her boyfriend was cheating on her. Which is obviously bad. And it gets even worse because she thought, it was with the guy that took her dad's super powers. Needless to say she didn't take it well. So she tried to kidnap you, Which Spike didn't take well, obviously. The rest of us didn't either".
He smiled at Chase. "By the way Thankgod for your martialart skills, Chase".
Then he continued his story.
"So now Spike hated her guts for trying to hurt you and i guess him. Then she found out that it was you who was dating me, but she still felt betrayed by Spike, because he joined the elite force. And the elite force's main mission was obviously to take out the shape shifters. I mean it's why we all got together in the first place. So she feels like he betrayed her by joining the elite force. And Spike felt betrayed by her trying to kidnap you or i guess him? And he was also mad at her for helping to blow up mightymed and trying to attack the daventower. As he should be. So now they're sworn enemies. Who would very much like to kill eachother. But yeah.. they used to date'.
Chase gaped at him, that was a lot.
And Kaz wasn't quite finished yet.
"And yes Reese did also cheat on him. Aka more betrayal. This happened before mighty med blew up. So they were still dating. But the shapeshifters were already planning on blowing up mightymed, because their dad had lost his powers already. So they already hated Oliver and me. So basically Reeze caught you and me making out. And wanted revenge. - Honestly what's with shapeshifters and revenge?! - Anyway she looked for the first guy that was willing to make out with her. She easily found a random a guy, that gave consent to a gross amount of pda. So technically Spike wasn't their to see her cheat, but you obviously told him".
Chase nodded.
The idea of Spike and Reese dating was weird.
He was glad though, that the whole -Reese betraying Chase- thing didn't happen.
This meant that the shapeshifters didn't get the superhero list, because of him, that he hadn't recently gotten his heartbroken. By neither Sebastian nor Reese. And that Douglas didn't almost die because of him trusting the wrong person.
He did feel kind of guilty for the whole wrong twin thing.
For Spike's sake.
He couldn't care less about Reese.
But it's not like he did anything wrong.
He just kissed his boyfriend And his twin brother didn't seem to be mad at him for that.
It was Reese's fault for not realizing he was Chase and not Spike. Not Chase's for kissing Kaz.
Kaz kissed Chase's forehead again, breaking his train of thought.
"So the goodnews is, we did manage to deveat Reese. She's not dead, but she's locked up. Spike and Adam really did look like they wanted to kill her, after what she did to you. I have got to say, i felt the exact same way. We all did. I could Tell Bree and Leo were close to killing her to. But we're REAL heroes. So she's fine. I do think Adam used his heat vision when she was already handcuffed and powerless, but she deserved that".
Chase had a massive headache from all the information, but he still had one question he had been dying to ask Kaz.
"Do you hate me, for forgetting about us?" Chase whispered.
Chapter 6: Kaz is a great boyfriend
Summary:
I promised Chaz content, so here it is guys! I love this ship and these charachters.
Their is a really really really emotinal Chaz scene later on. So stay tuned!
Fav quotes of the chapter: "You're memory will come back and if it doesn't... *sights* we will make new ones my love".Kaz looked at him in shock. "Hate you?! Smarties how could you even think that?
Iknow this Chapter is super short, but it's cute and i felt like their little moment deserved it's own Chapter. Plus i posted the first 6 chapters on the same day to make up for the short chapter(s).
Chapter Text
No triggerwarnings this time. This one is just cute. Remember the first line guys. It's coming back to haunt you later on.
Kaz looked at him in shock. "Hate you?! Smarties how could you even think that? I was so worried about you, i quite litteraly set some sh*t on fire".
Chase sighted. "It's just... you are so sweet and i can't even remember our relationship".
Kaz didn't seem surprised at this, sad but not surprised. "Yeah iknow, Bree told me. But i'm just glad that you are okay".
Kaz closed his eyes. What he wanted to say was. "I wonder how much i really meant to you. If i was this easy to forget". But he didn't say that. Wouldn't say that. Couldn't say that. Instead he said. "Your memory will come back and if it doesn't... *sighs*, we will make new ones my love".
Chase couldn't believe how Lucky he was. He had woken up in a crazy reality. But in this crazy reality his crush on Kaz wasn't hopeless and one sided. It probably wasn't in the other reality either, but that's what Chase had told himself.
"Can i kiss you Chase?" Kaz whispered.
"Please do".
Kaz smiled and leaned in for a kiss and Chase happily did the same thing.
"Wow" he whispered when they broke of the kiss, gasping for air.
Kaz laughed and let his head hit the bed.
"Was this technically our first kiss? I mean for you?"
Chase nodded. Letting himself fall back on to the bed as well. His head layed comfortable on Kaz's chest.
"Yeah. I've been waiting a long time for that though".
Kaz stroke his hair. "Yeah? So what do you remember?"
Chase thought about that for a second. "I liked you. A lot. I had for a while. Probably ever since you saved my life in mighty med. I don't know if that actually happened though. Anyway i remember having some trust issues, from Sebastian and Reese and wanting to give up on love but then we reunited. I was crazy about you from the beginning. But i was also conflicted. I didn't think i had a chance with you and i didn't think their should be romantic relationships within the team. I made the rule, not thinking i had a chance with you anyway. I really wanted to date you, but i had convinced myself you'd never like me".
Kaz pulled him in to another passionate kiss. "What is there not to like?" he whispered afterwards.
Chase couldn't help but blush. "So you liked me during the beginning of the elite force as well?"
Kaz nodded. "I thought i made that pretty obvious".
Chase couldn't help but smile like an idiot. An idiot in love. Because he was.
Well except for the idiot part. He was still the smartest man in the world. Even if his memories were a little mixed up.
And so far all the reveals had been nothing but pleasant.
He was dating his crush, his most unpleasant memories (betrayals and heartbreak) didn't happen, he had a childhood bestfriend instead of a ex-bestfriend-now-swornenemy and his creepy alterego was now his twin brother. Who didn't seem that creepy at all.
It seemed like Chase never again had to worry abour snapping and releasing the beast. And said beast seemed to be his personal bodyguard and built in bestie.
Yeah he could get used to this.
***
Kaz pulled them back in to a sitting position. "Did you just say something about Sebastian and Reese betraying you?" Chase nodded.
"Yeah, i guess the dream i had, during the coma really messed with my memories".
Kaz laughed "Leo did tell me you refered to Marcus as a killer android, who was also kind of your brother?"
Chase laughed too. "Well when you say it like that, it does sound weird".
Kaz raised his eyebrows. "You think?"
Chase lightly smacked him.
"I do remember somethings you know!"
Kaz smirked.
"Like what?" Chase sighed. "Iknow you're birthday is march 21st. Also you once mentioned, during a argument with Oliver, that he is only 3 days older. So his birthday has to be on march 18th."
Kaz nodded. "Well smarties, i'm glad you remembered something.
He paused and then he added. "Only i had preferred it being our relationship, instead of my birthday".
Chase laughed sheepishly. "Same", he whispered.
Somebody knocked on the door. It was Oliver. "Hey buddy, how are you doing?" Chase smiled at him. "I remember your birthday!"
Chapter 7: You would do the same for me
Summary:
Oliver is a good friend to Chase and apologizes for being a jerk sometimes.
This Chapter finally introduces the Spike and Chase text messages trope, that you will see more often. I loved writing those. This Chapter also gives you a
Cute brother moment between Chase&Adam.
It's short, but after competetive swimpractice i'll post a few more chapters.
Since i've already gotten 18 chapters ready.
Fav quote of the chapter: I will always put the lives of my siblings before my own". Adam hugged him, again. "Iknow, we all would. I just wish we didn't have to prove it so often". Chase nodded. "Me to".I felt like this was the perfect moment to end it on.
Chapter Text
No triggerwarnings
Kaz laughed.
"Ollie you should take it as a compliment. He can't remember having a twin brother, thought his bestfriend was a bionic rebellion who tried to kill him and his dad, can't remember dating me and thought Marcus was an android and that he dated Reese".
Chase laughed. "Yeah, it's kind of funny when you think about it. I can't remember having a twin brother who loves me to death, but i can remember the birthday of the guy that wanted me death".
Oliver seemed upset at that comment, but Chase didn't really notice.
He was distraced by the text message that popped up on his phone.
The text message read: Spike🤺🥊❤ "It's not that funny, You genius asshole".
Right Spike had bionic hearing to. So he heard Chase's joke, even though he wasn't in the room.
Oliver spoke up and caught Chase's attention.
"Chase you can't just say shit like that. I never hated you and i was worried sick. I've spend the last 48 hours barely sleeping, because i felt so guilty for the times i was a jerk to you. So i tried to make up for it by doing what you'd have done. Taking care of your boyfriend and brother. I tried to distract Kaz and Leo with comics, got them food, tried to reassure them you'd be okay, held them when they were crying, tried to keep them hydrated and forced them to sleep".
Chase smiled at the idea. Oliver really was a nice guy.
Kaz had told him how he used to be.
He explained that Oliver was just acting a bit intense because, losing mighty med and his mom being a villain was hard on him. And Chase didn't blame him for that. Because ofcourse they went through a traumatic experience, Oliver was allowed to grieve in his own way.
"I'm sorry and thank you", Chase answered.
Oliver nodded. "You would have done the same for me".
And Chase nodded again, because it was true.
His phone buzzed again. Spike🤺🥊❤ : "really man? You remember how Oliver reacted to you getting skylar her powers back? But you can't remember a single memory of you and me?? 19 years Chase! I've known you for 19 years!! You haven't even known Oliver for more then a year!"
Chase sighed he understood Spike's frustration. He had known his brother Adam his whole life. If Adam tried to save Chase's life and then woke up with 0 memories of him.... that would break Chase.
And that's what happened to Spike.
He couldn't even handle the idea. It would destroy him. Sure Adam and him teased eachother a lot, but he loved Adam a lot. He was one of the most important people in his life.
"Hey Guys, if it's okay, i'd really like to talk to Adam now?"
Oliver and Kaz nodded. Oliver got of the chair and left the room. Kaz got of Chase's bed, kissed him one more time and then left as well.
Now that he was alone, Chase responded to Spike's message. Putting on the glasses to do so.
Spike was in the waiting room with Adam, Leo, Bree, Skylar, Sebastian, Douglas, Mr davenport and Tasha.
Oliver and Kaz told Adam that he was up next.
Adam stood up and smiled, he could baerly contain his exitement.
Spike's phone buzzed.
Brainiac🧠🤺❤🥊: i'm realy sorry Spike. I'm sure it will all come back to me.
Spike sighed. He hoped so too.
He smiled at the nickname that was Chase's username in his phone. Growing up Adam and Bree would call them; Maniac and Braniac. Referring to their bionics.
***
Back in his room Chase heard the farmilair sound of Adam's superstrength. Adam could baerly contain his exitement, which Chase could tell because Adam was cleary glitching.
He was terrifyingly close to ripping the door out completely and his eyes were turning red. Chase couldn't care less though. He was happy to see Adam. And if him being okay made Adam so exited that he tore down the door and shot some lasers at Chase, then so be it.
Adam managed to keep himself together though.
Adam pulled him in to a bone crushing hug. Normally Chase would complain, but not this time.
"I'm so glad you're okay Chasey", he whispered.
Chase was caught of guard by the nickname. Adam only called him that when they were little and when he was really worried about Chase.
"I'm glad i remember you", Chase replied.
Adam scoot next to him on the bed. "Yeah me to, i feel bad for Spike tough. Do you think that if i hit you in the head hard enough, that your memory will come back completly?"
Chase was about to call Adam an idiot, when Adam started laughing.
"Dude. Relax. I'm kidding. Ofcourse, i'm not going to hit you in the head while you have a head injury. Iknow you think i'm stupid, but i'm not that stupid."
Chase sighed. "I don't actually think that you're stupid".
Adam put his arm around chase and removed the special glasses. He didn't need them right now, since they weren't looking at pictures and he wasn't texting Spike.
"Well i don't actually think you're a weak, useless, ugly, nerdy, pathetic, weird, unatlethic, annoying, buzzkill, girly, loser with a weird hair cut either".
Chase tried not to be bothered remembering all the insults Adam was reffering to and smiled at his brother.
Adam sighed. "Infact, i'm never going to call you a nerd again. Because i don't think you're that smart actually. What you did was incredibly STUPID."
Adam said it in a way that showed Chase he was joking, but Chase knew there was some truth to it.
Chase groaned.
"Iknow, what i did was stupid. Not that i remember doing it, but i heard what i did. And i'm sorry for making you think i was going to die, again. But i stand behind what i did. I will always put the lives of my siblings before my own".
Adam hugged him, again. "Iknow, we all would. I just wish we didn't have to prove it so often".
Chase nodded. "Me to".

I kinda hate you for that!! i think??? Chase laughed out loud at the text message. Brainiac🧠🤺❤🥊:You love me.
Chapter Text
warnings: spoileralerts for canon Labrats episodes, but no triggerwarnings. (Except the whole story is about memoryloss, so that is always a trigger warning. And their is like one swearword)
The door opened again, practically getting shattered, again. Because just like Adam, Leo had superstrength. Or atleast he did in one arm. "Let me get in on this hug". They laughed and pulled Leo in.
Leo crawled on to the bed, next to Adam. Leo had clearly grown impatient in the waiting room. "Saving our favourite sibling for last, are we?", he asked Chase.
Chase laughed. "I don't have a favourite sibling Leo".
Chase heard his phone buzz.He had a pretty good idea of what the text would say, but he still put his glasses on and looked at it.
Spike🤺🥊❤: tell the shrimp that, "yes you do".
Chase rolled his eyes at the text message.
Then he took the weird glasses of again. He might not remember everything, but Chase Davenport would never risk damaging his brain. No matter how much reality got twisted.
So he put the weird glasses on, everytime he looked at pictures or got a text message from Spike.
Which reminded him that Spike used his bionic hearing a lot. Maybe it was just because, he wanted to know everything that Chase remembered. But Chase himself couldn't remember using his bionic hearing that often. Had he been waisting this gift?He didn't think so. He could baerly sleep at night, because he could hear the snoring and even the heart beats of his roommates. So he never bothered activating his bionic hearing even further, unless it was important. He already heard a lot more then he wanted to, without using it to it's full extend.
Leo waved in his face. "Earth to Chase".
"Leo is my time with Chase really already over? I havent even been able to tell him he's short yet". Leo glared at Adam. "I think he remembers you telling him that". Adam sighted. "You don't know that. He may have forgotten".
Chase rolled his eyes at him. "Trust me, i remember". His phone buzzed again. Spike🤺🥊❤: ofcourse you remember THAT.
Chase didn't feel like putting his glasses on again, so he had Leo read him the text message.
Leo chuckled. "Spike is right though. You remember THAT but not him. Oh that reminds me! You have got to explain what you said about Marcus!" Adam's face lit up. "Leo can i stay? I want to hear this to!" Leo nodded.
Chase sighted. "Well Leo, in my memory, Marcus pretented to be our bestfriend. The 3 of us even started a band together. But then Marcus broke his own guitar and blamed you for it. He was basically blackmailing you, by using the knowledge of our bionic secret against you. You tried to warn us about Marcus, but we didn't listen. So you went to his house and almost got murdered. You escaped though. Then he kidnapped mr Davenport and we finally believed you. That's also when we found out, that Marcus had all our bionic combined. He had also been spying on us and we later learned he was a killer android. We went to save mr davenport and got trapped. You tried to save us and Marcus almost killed you. Adam unlocked a new bionic abillity and saved your live with it. We all escaped. Including Douglas, but i don't feel like getting in to the whole douglas storyline. Anyway Marcus died that day, but he got rebuild eventually by a woman that almost murdered me. But i also don't feel like getting in to the story line of Giselle's lab".
Adam flinched by the mentioning of her name. "That really happened", he whispered.
Leo's mouth was still wide open, from the bizare story about marcus.
"What really happened? The whole giselle thing?". Adam nodded. "Yeah, only the killer Android was called Troy". Chase nodded now. "Yeah, the time i almost died, Troy was there too. It was the 2nd time that we saw Giselle, that she brought Marcus".
Adam sighted. "Did you really have to make me relive that day? It was awfull. I really thought you died. This time we knew you weren't dead (yet), but you still looked so lifeless during the coma. Chase ruffled Adam's hair. "Didn't you once tell me i suck the energy out of things?" Chase joked, trying to lighten the mood. Adam laughed at that. "Well you do! And you're also short! But i prefer it over you being unconscious". Chase smiled at his brother.
Leo was finally regaining his posture, after being very weirded out by the whole marcus thing. "Well i hope you learned something from the whole marcus thing Chase". Chase looked at him in confussion. "Always listen to Dooley". Chase grinned.
"Hey Leo i don't want to be a d*ck but can i ask you something?" Leo nodded. "Is Taylor blind?" Leo shook his head. "Nope, why?"
Chase sighted. "Because in my memory she lost her vision, when you and her where testing a new abillity. I tried to warn you, but you wanted to proof yourself and then she lost her vision becaue of it. I only wanted to protect you, but i wasn't that kind to you and then you quit the team. But you came back to save our lives. Then you ended up almost going down with me, because you refused to leave the colapsing bridge while i was still on it".
Leo sighted. "Wow reliving our trauma's now are we?"
"The bridge thing did happen. But i didn't quit the team and Taylor isn't blind".
Chase's phone buzzed again. So he grabbed the weird glasses.
Spike🤺🥊❤: did you have to remind us about that time you let everybody leave the limo, before you got out and you almost died. AGAIN. And the time in Gyselle's lab where we thought you where dead. Why are you always almost dying?!! I kinda hate you for that!! i think???
Chase laughed out loud at the text message.
Brainiac🧠🤺❤🥊:You love me.
The door to Chases room opened once again. So Chase took of the glasses and put his phone away.
This time it was Marcus who walked in.
Leo got of the bed to hug him. Yeah Chase was never going to get used to that.
Marcus sat down on the chair next to the bed. Where sebastian had previously been sitting and Oliver had also sit down on at some point.
Adam left and Leo went back to sitting on Chase's bed.
"Hey Chase, you okay buddy". Chase nodded. "You scared the sh*t out of Leo. I mean all of us we're worried; but i had like a thousand missed calls from Leo. I ended up talking with him on the phone for hours, until Oliver made Leo take a nap".
Chase smiled at the information. It really was nice to know that Oliver, did such a good job caring for Kaz and Leo. It made sense that he would take care of Kaz. Kaz and Oliver had been bestfriends since they were 3. Or that's how Chase remembered things being. But it was probably still true. He didn't think the 2 of them could ever be anything less then bestfriends, now matter how crazy reality got twisted.
Marcus interrupted his train of thought.
"So killer android huh". Chase laughed apologetically. "I'm sorry Marcus". Marcus waved him off. "Are you kidding! It sounds awesome!". He cleared his troath, after he noticed the offended looks Chase and Leo gave him.
"Obviously i don't mean the part where i tried to kill Leo and you guys's dad". Chase corrected him. "You tried to kill Leo twice actually. Oh and you tried to kill all of us again, when you were rebuild. You even tried to rebuild yourself and kill Leo again. So 4 times. And you we're really close to murdering Daniel". Marcus seemed especially upset at that last part. "Wow i even tried to kill my own brother? I really was a killer android with no conscious huh".
Chase stared at him in confussion.
"I thought you guys told me Marcus wasn't our brother". Leo laughed. "He's not. He's Daniel's brother". Chase was still confused.
"Wait so Daniel is not the biological brother of Adam, Bree and i? That was adopted by birth and there by got seperated from us?". They stared at him blankly. Then Marcus cleared his troath. "No, Daniel and i are brothers. We were not adopted". Chase still felt a little insane by getting so many things wrong.
Leo looked at him confused. "Why didn't you mention Spike"?. Now Chase was even more confussed. What do you mean?" "You said oh so Daniel isn't Adam, Bree and mine biological brother? But you didn't include Spike, who is also your bio brother". Chase cringed at the realization.
He still wasn't quite used to having a twin brother. It was such a weird idea. He was 19. He shared a birthday, a home, a lot of bionic abilities, a family and hell even a face with Spike for 19 years. Which he didn't remember.
He sighted and grabbed the weird glasses. He grabbed his phone and texted Spike.
Brainiac🧠🤺❤🥊: "I promise i'm not trying to hurt you. I promise i will do whatever it takes to make myself remmeber you. I'm sorry if i make you feel left out. I promise i love you. I'm sure i do. I don't remember it, but somehow i know".
His phone buzzed immidiaetly.
Spike🤺🥊❤: "Calm down nugget head*. I can practically hear your heart rate increasing. Iknow youre not trying to hurt me. We're fine. You've got a harddrive in your head. We'll figure out a way to restore your memories. And.. I love you to. idiot.
Leo raised his eyebrows at him. "Still Spike huh?". Chase nodded. "Oh that reminds me are you still multilanguale?" Marcus asked him. Chase shrugged his shoulders. "Ich habe keine Ahnung". They looked at him confussed.
Now it was Leo's phone that buzzed. Spike💣🦸♂️🤖: "What Chase just said means. I have no idea, in German".
Chase laughed at the emoji's. "Leo what do those emoticons even mean?" Leo grinned.
"The bomb stands for the fact that Spike will explode if you emberass him or you to badly or if their is to big of a threath infront of him. It reminds me not to piss him of to much. The hero emoji stands for the fact that he can be quite the hero. Since he did, for example, lock Trent in his locker after he bullied us. And Trent was afraid of us, for a solid month and.."
Chase cut him of laughing. "Shouldn't the hero emoji stand for... idk... the fact that he is a bionic hero?" Leo waved him of. "Yeah sure whatever".
"Anyway the robot emoji stands for the robot the 3 of us built, because that is my favourite memory of the 3 of us".
A new text message popped up on Leo's phone.
Spike💣🦸♂️🤖: ask Chase: mag Spike mij slaan? Omdat, ik een bom emotie achter zijn naam heb gezet, in mijn contacten? Of moet ik het laten gaan? Omdat, Leo best wel een leuk broertje is. Het meeste van de tijd tenminste.
(Ask Chase: May Spike hit me? Because i put a bomb emoticon after his name, in my contacts? Or should i let it go? Because, Leo is a pretty nice little brother. Most of the time anyway.)
Chase chuckles. "Tell Spike to let it go".
Leo sighted. "What language is that even? German again?" Chase shook his head. "No, it's Dutch". Leo nodded. "Right, the language they speak in..... yeah i got nothing." Chase laughed "the Netherlands". Leo nodded. "Right right".
Marcus took the phone from Leo. And showed them a pretty recent picture of Chase holding a guitar and Marcus and Leo sitting next to him on the couch.
Marcus told him that Chase is appaerently really good at playing the guitar. The band that the boys were in failed, but Chase was still a guitarist.
Marcus had never broken his own guitar, but appaerently Spike had broken Chase's guitar over Adam's head at one point. Which made Chase laugh because ofcourse he did.
Spike was quick to explain the situation in a text message.
Spike🤺🥊❤:": in my defense: it happened when Adam triggered my superagression. And i bought you a new guitar. And Adam deserved it. It was right after you upgrated those actionfigures that Mr Davenport made of us. I don't know if you remmeber but Adam said." he said: Chase, how do i put this in a way that won't hurt your feelings. You are the worst person that has ever been born and this is the biggest waste ot time and money i have ever seen".
Chase chuckled. He remembered Adam saying that. He didn't remember anyone sticking up for him though. Having Spike in his life, as a twin brother, didn't sound so bad.
Brainiac🧠🤺❤🥊: I remember Adam saying that. But in my memory nobody really reacted to it.
Spike🤺🥊❤:
You're sooooo lucky you've got me".
Marcus raised his eyebrow at Chase. In a way only Marcus can.
Chase looked up and put the phone and glasses away.
Marcus looked at him confussed. "Wasn't Spike the only person you couldn't remember? Or let me guess... he was a killer android too in your memory?"
Chase laughed. "No actually, in my memory he was the killer alterego, that i turned in to when my commando app got trickered. Who didn't have a conscious, wanted to kill everybody, always talked about ripping people's organs out, had superstrength and who ruined my change of getting a girlfriend. And who'se voice was always really low and creepy. He was a soldier. A monster. With really high testerone and kind of a sexist jerk. Who really disliked Adam and Leo".
Marcus laughed. "So it was basically Spike, only he didn't have his own body and lived inside your head".
Chase's phone buzzed again. Chase shook his head. This Spike isn't like that.
Spike🤺🥊❤: " tell Marcus i heard that:
Leo chuckled. "Let me guess it's Spike?". Chase shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, i don't feel like putting on those weird glasses every 5 seconds. Can you read what it says".
Leo nodded and took the phone from Chase.
He chuckled. "Yeah just as i thought, Marcus is a goner".
They all laughed.
Marcus stood up. "Well i should go apologize to Spike". Leo nodded. "Good idea, i'll be your backup just in case".
Chase waved them goodbye.
Leo turned around at the door. "Who should i send to you now?"
Leo expected Chase to ask for Mr Davenport, Douglas and or Tasha. He didn't.
"Can you send Skylar now". Leo nodded.
Chapter 9: Oliver isn't a creep besties
Summary:
So i feel like Kaz would have made a lot more jokes about Oliver's creepy behaviour + i feel like Oliver respected Skylar to much to treat her like that. +Skylar wouldn't still go out with him after all that obsessive behaviour. I wasn't going to add this alternate reality in, because I never shipped Oliver and Skylar, at all. Until i realized i'd have loved them together, if Elite force didn't turn Oliver in to an extreme creep.
Since i was already writting an alternate universe, turning Oliver in to a non creepy respectfull mightymed version, didn't feel like such a crime. So here is the closure we all needed.
+ Now that we're attacking canon, i hated that Skylar bodyshamed Oliver. i figured i might as well adress that too.
Also Billy Unger said he was a huge spiderman fan growing up, so i snuck that in to the story.
Chapter Text
Tw: Referrences to Skylar bodyshaming/Skinny shaming Oliver the actual show labrats elite force Tw: refferences to Creepy/Stalker behaviour from Oliver in canon
All the examples of Oliver being a creep are direct (canon) References from the actual show Lab Rats Elite force. Just like the examples of Skylar bodyshaming Oliver.I do not own the show, it's charachters nor any of the examples of Oliver's creepy behaviour. I do however own the rest of this story and the plotlines/quotes etc.
Credits for the spiderman kiss idea: conner_cosplays
Skylar walked in to chase's room.
Directly followed by Kaz and Oliver.
She laughed.
"I tried to leave them behind. I promise i did".
Oliver laughed.
Kaz was already climbing on to Chase's bed.
"They kept me from you long enough. And the whole time i saw you were texting Spike, but i didn't get one message! Rude!"
Chase chuckled.
"Sorry Kaz".
Kaz pout his lip at Chase.
"You're supposed to say Babe or something else that sounds cute".
Chase nodded.
Right it made sense that he usually did that.
Kaz was already holding Chase in his arms at this point.
Skylar had sit down on the chair and Oliver was awkwardly standing next to her.
Putting a hand on her shoulder.
To Chase's surprise, Skylar put her hand on top of Oliver's , rather then smacking it away.
He decided not to think to much of it.
Skylar may find Oliver a creep sometimes, but he is still one of her bestfriends.
And Chase has seen them hug before.
Oliver and Skylar smiled at him.
"Is it true that you believed all sorts of crazy stuff?" Skylar asked him.
Chase nodded.
"I even thought that Kaz and Oliver got their superpowers from some sort of rock".
His boyfriend and friend glared at him with mild offence.
Oops that was appaerently still true.
Even if it still wasn't logical.
"Oh the magic space rock is still a thing, got it", he teased.
Kaz playfully smacked him on his shoulder, not wanting to come anywhere near the burned skin, on his chest.
"Yeah yeah iknow, it's still hard to wrap you're gigantic head around. Huh babe?" Kaz teased.
Then he pulled him in for a kiss.
Chase smiled in to the kiss.
He was just glad he hadn't made a comment about Skylar being an alien.
That might still be true to.
Even though it was still not logical.
Maybe this universe didn't make more sense, then the one he remembered.
It was just different.
Not more scientificly correct.
"I'll spare you the time of figuring out if i'm still an alien", skylar joked.
After Kaz and Chase had stopped kissing.
"I am, but we all still think it's weirder that you thought that Marcus was your killer android brother with bionics".
Chase laughed.
Right because a scientifically explainable android, programmed to be evil was weird, but his teammate coming from another planet, made perfect sense.
Not to mention that all females on caldera looked indentical and had superpowers.
He loved Skylar as a friend though, so it didn't matter if her being an alien, was against all what he used to believe was possible.
Oliver broke his train of thought.
"Was their some other really weird thing you believed to be true? That we haven't heard yet?" He asked.
Chase realized now that everybody had shared all Chase's crazy stories in the waiting room.
Well he guessed that was a good thing.
This way he didn't have to keep retelling his theories about Marcus, the basement, Spike, Sebastian, Daniel etc.
He realy hoped that he wasn't going to regret what he was about to say.
But he had faith in this being a weird and wrong memory as well.
"I have weird memories of you being a creep actually, sorry Oliver".
Kaz laughed. "That's real".
Oliver rolled his eyes. "Yeah, i don't think so. Do you have any examples Chase?"
Chase nodded and told him everything he could think of.
****
Kaz, Skylar and especially Oliver looked at him in horror.
Oliver looked disgusted.
Kaz broke in to hysterical laughter.
"I was waiting under a sink for Skylar to brush her teeth??" Oliver was practically shouting at this point.
Chase joined Skylar and Kaz in the laughter.
He was glad that Oliver wasn't really a creep.
"I mean the only thing that's true, is that i was kind of a jerk to you when you got skylar her powers back. Just because that's something i promised* her i'd do. But then i realized that i promised her to do that, because i couldn't stand to see her feel so upset and useless. So it didn't really matter who got her powers back. And i shouldn't have gotten mad at you for being a genius".
Skylar looked at Oliver lovingly.
Chase laughed at Oliver's freak out.
"Oliver it's fine! And i'm glad you're not weirdly obsessed with Skylar".
Skylar smiled.
"Yeah, me to, and you should be to babe. I'd never date you if you were".
Oliver rolled his eyes at her. "Well duh. I wouldn't expect you too".
Chase's mouth fell open.
"Wait you're dating?"
Oliver put his arm around Skylar.
Who leaned in to the touch instead of yanking the arm away.
"Sure are".
Oliver looked so happy and proud. It was honestly adorable.
Chase was happy for his friends.
He really was.
It was nice to see them so happy.
And If you scrap the whole Oliver being a creep thing, him and Skylar seem like a good match.
Really and Chase could know, because even if he didn't like to admit it, he was a sucker for romance.
And the best friends to lovers trope was one of his favourites. *couch couch* him and Kaz.
Said fire boy was still laughing at this point.
"I can't stop laughing all the stuff you thought Oliver did. Man i would pay serious money to hear him sing that song* he wrote for Skylar".
Chase laughed.
"He messed up and send it to Bree, so we all heard it".
Kaz kept laughing at the idea of his bestfriend turning in to such a creepy guy.
*"He practiced his date with Skylar on a mannequin and tried to kiss it?!"
Oliver looked at his bestfriend angrily, which Kaz ignored.
*"He said he measured her knees many times! What in the world!". Kaz could really not stop laughing at the things Chase told them.
He threw a banana (out of the fruitbasket he brought for Chase), at Oliver. To tease Oliver about Chase's memory. *Referring to when Chase told them, that Oliver made Skylar a frozen chocolate banana popsicle, while talking to an Imaginary Skylar".
Oliver tried to get Kaz to stop repeating Chase's weird memories, but Kaz didn't stop.
"He collected pieces of her hair!? At night?! I'm actually going to lose it!!!"
Oliver walked over to the bed to try and smack his bestfriend, but Skylar stopped him.
"Sweet heart, we all know you're not like that. Their is no reason for you to get so worked up. Chase had a lot of weird memories. You're not a pshyco, Spike isn't an alterego, Sebastian isnt a bionic rebel and i'm would never (jokingly) bodyshame someone".
Skylar said that last part purely because, she couldn't stop cringing at the skinny shaming/body shaming Chase refered to. Appaerently, he had a memory of Skylar making fun of Oliver's ribgace showing through his shirt. and her saying it wasn't believable to her that he had superstrength*. And other times where she made fun of his biceps*. She would never say those things. She would never bodyshame anyone. She would never try to talk somebody in to developing insecurities. And she believed skinnyshaming was very offensive and wrong. She hated that Chase had memories of her being like that.
Oliver hugged her, when she opened up about it.
She losened up in said boyfriends embrace.
She couldn't imagine a world in which Oliver was anything but a respectfull, loyal, bestfriend to her.
That turned in to her respectfull, loyal boyfriend.
Sure she was his favourite superhero growing up and he had a crush on her his whole childhood, but that wasn't necessairly creepy.
Skylar preffered fo call it faith.
And she thought it was adorable, that he used to have drawings of her in his locker, before they met.
Being Oliver's girlfriend wasn't an over night thing.
They had both had crushes on eachother for what felt like ages.
Which is why she was confident that they would have gotten together, even if she wasn't his celeb crush at some point.
Their relationship was build up on a strong foundation.
A friendship.
She had seen Oliver and Kaz as her bestfriend's for years now and she felt lucky that things never changed.
Oliver and her had been a little scared that Kaz would feel left out, like he did when they first met.
But Kaz had been nothing but supportive and exited for them.
Things didn't change between the 3 of them, nor did they get awkward.
Except for the fact that Kaz would sometimes make innapropriate jokes. But Oliver was always quick to shut those down.
Not wanting Skylar to feel uncomfortable.
Which is why the idea of Oliver crossing her boundaries was so weird.
The Oliver that she knows and has known since mightymed, has always respected her.
She couldn't imagine the tiny Oliver that she met and fall in love with in mightymed, to grow up in to such a creep.
She was also weirded out by the idea of still going out on a date with him.
Even after knowing he collected her hair, filmed her clip her toe nails and hid under her sink to watch her.
Yeah EW.
If she could knock some sense in to the Skylar of Chase's memories, she would.
Chase himself was just glad that he finally got to meet the version of Oliver everyone in mighty med got to know.
And not the elite force version.
Chase had blamed it all on oliver's trauma, but he prefered the Oliver that respected Skylar and was actually friends with Chase.
Instead of the whole weird one sided enemy thing.
He couldn't help but say it out loud.
"I'm glad we're friends Oliver".
Oliver hugged Chase.
"Ofcourse we're friends buddy. Please forget all that weird shit though".
Everyone laughed.
Kaz yanked Oliver and Skylar in to a grouphug, practically crushing Chase in the proces.
But somehow he still hadn't touched Chase's burn.
He really had been carefull to avoid it at all costs.
When he let go he enthousiasticly shouted.
"We have got to plan a double date soon".
Chase wiggled his eyebrows, "that's a thing?"
Kaz ruffled his hair. "Yes you see, when 2 couples go on a da-"
Chase interrupted his boyfriend.
"Kazimieras. You know that is not what i meant. I meant is that a thing we all do? Go on double dates together?"
Skylar nodded smiling at him.
She was glad they had met the Davenport siblings.
She couldn't have asked for a better team.
Truly. She got to work with her bestfriends in the world and Chase and Bree we're becoming really close friends of her as well.
Not to mention that Chase got her her superpowers back!
Which she had dreamed of for so long.
She didn't think she could ever thank him enough.
Even if he almost killed her at one point.
She smiles at the memory.
Oliver's voice breaks her out of her thought proces.
He was enthousiastically telling a story to Chase, about one the double dates they went on.
Chase was eating it up.
"Oh my God, ofcourse Kaz would do that".
Kaz tried to fight of a smile.
"Well in my defense, my boyfriend is kind of a control and safety freak and i just thought that he deserved some fun. I mean he looked so stressed out So when i found out he used to be obsessed with spiderman in his childhood.. i did what any good boyfriend would do. I tried to recreate a spiderman kiss. I mean it used to be my childhood dream too. So i figured i had to? I mean after Bree told me it used to be yours too??? I didn't think i had another choice!"
Oliver and Skylar we're hysterically laughing at this point, while Chase wacked his boyfriend in the head with his pillow.
"I cant believe You used you're superpowers in public! Without it being a life or death situation,where you had no other choice. And without checking if people could see you! Why didn't you wait until we were back in the daventower?!"
Kaz chuckled.
"I wanted to recreate the real experience for you".
Oliver was still laughing at this point.
"You are so lucky that this happened on a double date, so Sky and i were there. Because no offence Chase, but you we're so stressed out, you we're useless and Kaz just didn't seem to care about having just exposed his superpowers to a couple of strangers".
Skyler put an arm around Oliver.
"Correction their lucky i was their! Oliver can't lie to save his life".
"This is true", Oliver admitted.
Chase sighted.
"So how did you solve the problems that that disaster date caused".
He recieved a glare from Kaz.
And he stuck his tongue out in response.
Skylar explained her self.
"We told people that Kaz wasn't really flying upside down. He was just a crazy stuntman who had payed a lot of money to buy a hidden safety cabel, that made it look like he was hanging upside down with no support. But really he was wearing a cable. That he covered with his chloting?? Idk it wasn't a very believable excuse. But they still bought it".
Kaz sighted.
"I told you we should have blamed it on magic! People are willing to believe anything if you blame it on magic".
Chase rolled his eyes at his boyfriend.
But then he did kiss him.
"Well it's the thought that counts. And i do think it's very cute, that you wanted to make our childhooddreams come true. You're a great boyfriend Kaz".
"Yeah wel duh, i could have told you that". Kaz teased.
Their laughter was interrupted by Mr Davenport, Tasha and Douglas walking in.
Chapter 10: I love you dad
Summary:
i know a lot of you are team Donald Davenport Slander. So if you don't see him being a good dad, just blame it on the Alternate universe. And if you're team DavenDad to the rescue, then here you go Donald is (still?) A good dad in this universe. I'm posting a story soon, with Davendad slander, but i liked this scene idea where he's a really loving father. I did also write this in a alternate universe where the kids didn't grow up isolated in a basement. So maybe that helps the Donald davenport slanders to accept this scene.
Chapter Text
Tw: mentioned/implied: Premature babies, coma, memoryloss, near death experiences
Donald smiled at the sight of Chase and Kaz laughing and cuddling together. His son deserved nothing but the best and he really did seem happy with Kaz. Which is all a parent could ask for.
But Chase's dad had finally had enough of everyone, but the adults getting to see his son.
"Chase's boyfriend and Chase's boyfriend's bestfriend's, respectfully, GET OUT!".
They all laughed and got up.
Tasha sat down in the chair and the Davenport brothers both sat down on the footend of Chase's bed. Donald being the closest to Chase and Douglas sitting next to him.
"Don't you ever scare me like that again Chase! Seeing you're kid in a coma has got to be one of the worst things a parent could go through".
He sighted and decided to lighten the mood. "Even if you're as awesome as me", he joked.
Chase smiled apologetic,. "I'm sorry".
"It's okay honey. We are really proud of you for saving Spike. We just wished it didn't put you in a coma". Tasha explained.
Douglas had been silent the whole time.
"I'm mad at you Chase!" He finally yelled.
"Iknow i'm supposed to be the evil one, but you're constantly scaring the sh*t out of us. Heck the very first good thing i ever did was, saving your life, in Antartica. You all called me evil, but i bet you've given Donnie more heartattacks then all of us combined".
Chase felt his phone buzz. He put on the glasses. It was a message from Spike. Because ofcourse it was.
Spike❤🥊🤺: "I told you so".
Donald smacked his brother in the chest. "I told you Chase would use the glasses. I told you i know my son!"
Douglas rolled his eyes at him. "Well i created him and i also helped create those glasses. Now shut up".
Chase rolled his eyes at the banter between the Davenport brothers.
Tasha put a hand on Chase's arm. "Who are you texting honey?".
Chase smiled. "I've been texting Spike, ever since he left my room". Douglas kicked his brother. "I told you the boys would be fine".
Donald had been stressed out when he first heard, that one of his twins couldn't remember the other. For a long time Donald had been the only adult in Adam, Bree, Chase and Spike's live. He raised them all alone for the first 15 years ( 15 for the twins and Adam and Bree where almost 16 and 17.) Until Tasha and Leo moved in and she also became a parental figure to the kids.
When Donald first stole the kids from his brother, the twins we're just babies. Premature babies to be more specific. Which is usually the case with twins. He had been terrified that his twins wouldn't make it. Or that one of the boys survived and the other didn't.
He thanked the gods/universe every day that his kids all turned out okay.
Ever since his kids came home with an unconscious, burned, baerly breathing Chase, Donald's life had flashed infront of his eyes. Or more specific Chase's life.
For some reason Chase kept getting close to death. And it was terrifying.
He had 4 overprotective siblings (Adam/Bree/Leo/Spike), one being a twin brother who quite litteraly had the bionic abillity to tear anybody that threatened Chase in to pieces. And some how this wasn't the first time that he had almost lost his son.
He had been overwelmed with flashbacks of little Chase and the little twins. Terrified by the idea that Chase couldn't remember his twin. And secretly gratefull he still remembered his dad.
It was weird though. Spike and Chase had always been attached at the hip, not litteraly ofcourse. Yet Spike was the one person Chase didn't remember actually existing.
Donald heard the story of the commando app and didn't quite understand why that was how Chase remembered Spike.
As soon as Chase was allowed to go out of the hospital, he would do a very thorough scan of his bionic chip and infrastructure, in the lab.
Douglas and him would work day and night if it meant being able to properly restore Chase's memory. Donald and Douglas had a complicated relationship. They didn't share the bound his twins did. Or that any of his kids did for that matter. But he still would have hated being told that Douglas forgot about him.
His heart broke for his youngest biological son when they figured it out. Donald could still remember the first time the twins got seperated. They both started glitching and had to leave school early. Scared that their bionic secret would come out.
That wouldn't be a problem anymore. And he was glad the secret was out to the world now. This way Chase could recover in a hospital where the doctors were excellent.
Donald being the billionaire he is, had made sure Chase got treated in the worlds best hospital. The country, state etc not mattering. His daughter could bring her brother their, within seconds. And the rest of them could either fly because they had superpowers, or access to Donald's private yet and helicopters. They ended up choosing a hospital only an hour away from missioncreek. Purely because Dr Leighton sounded like she really cared about the relationship between Chase's superior intelligence and the coma.
People tend to think Donald was a selfobserved, vain, selfish, billionaire with a gicantic ego. And he was. But he was a caring father before he was anything else. Not everybody agreed on that. He did send his kids on life threatening missions. But he had always put their safety first. He had always cared more about them then money or saving others. He had always loved them with all he had. Seeing one of them in pain was awfull.
Leo truly felt like a son to him. Naomi was technically his first biological kid, but in Donald's mind he didn't see the difference between his adopted kids (Adam/Bree/Chase/Spike), Step son (Leo) or Biological kid (Naomi). He just saw his kids.
He never planned to be a dad and he made a lot of mistakes along the way. But he had always loved those kids. And even if he never asked to be a dad, there was nothing that he loved more then being one.
Suddenly he felt like crying. It had been an emotional day. He climbed next to Chase on the bed and pulled his son in to a hug. Being carefull of his burned Chest. Ruffling his hair like he did when Chase was still a tiny kid.
"I love you and i'm proud of who you have become. I'm proud of the hero that you are and the lives you safe. And i'm so gratefull my twins are both okay. But please promise me, that you will never forget: that you're live matters to. You can't constantly sacrifice yourself. Because none of us would like to live in a chase-less world". Chase looked his father in the eyes. "I love you dad".
Douglas was starting to get emotional. "Can i get in on that hug please". They nodded and the 3 of them hugged for a while.
Then Douglas stepped back and Tasha hugged her husband and (step) son.
When they all stopped hugging, donald grabbed his son's shoulder. "Iknow that you have always been able to count om your brain and you're terrified now that you can't do that. But it will be okay. You've got a harddrive. You are the smartest man in the world. We will figure this out. We will restore your memory. All of it. I promise".
Chase nodded. "Thankyou". It was a beautifull heartfell moment, that got interrupted by the buzzing of Chase's phone.
Douglas grabbed it and read the message.
"Spike says it's about damn time". They all laugh.
Tasha walks out to grab Chase's brothers and sister. But a little later she walks in alone instead.
"Sweetie i just run in to a friend of yours, who says he'd like to talk to you alone. You're up for that? I don't regocnize him. He says he knows you from your time at highschool?
Chase nodded. "Sure, but i thought we weren't in mission creek? I thought dad said that he wanted the best hospital in the world for me? And you guys all flew here?"
Donald Davenport nodded. "Yeah, but it's only like an hour drive from missioncreek. We just didn't have that kind of time. And yes we wanted the best hospital for you. This one isn't technically the best or fancy or something like that. But dr leighton showed the most sympathy for my worry about you're bionic infrastructure and stuff. so i chose her". Chase nodded that made sense.
"Yeah, sure i'll talk to the guy. I probably can't remember him though. Tasha nodded. They left the room and said guy walked in.
Chase remembered him just fine. He wished he didn't though.
Because infront of him was standing... Trent Freaking Trent.
Holding a freaking bouquet of freaking red roses.
What the heck?!!!
Chapter 11: Trent is back besties
Summary:
**the next chapter (nr 12) is the best one yet**
* stay till the end for some cute Chaz fluff.
i randomly realized i could have turned Trent non-evil too. But i had already written about Spike defending Chase to Trent and i really loved that detail. So then i decided to still add Trent in and mess with everyone a little bit. So this is what it turned in too lmao. I'm sorry if you hate it. You can totally skip this part, it's not part of the plot. It's just a fun dumb idea i had. I don't even know how i came up with this sh*t.
I hadalready written the first 15 chapters, but decided to squeesh this random idea in. It's got protective Kaz, Leo, Spike and Adam. So it's not a waste of time. I hope.
Chapter Text
Tw: implied/referenced: bullying, memoryloss, cheating, more swearing then usual, threatening, implied homophobic charachter (no homophobic jokes or quotes), Trent (i'm kidding)
Tasha came back in to the room with Trent.
"Honey i found your friend. We'll give you guys some alone time".
The adults left and Chase and Trent we're left alone in his room.
"Let me guess you came in here to finish me of?" Chase spat out.
Trent was one of the last people he wanted to see, in general, but especially when he was weak injured and confused.
Trent laughed. "Oh sweetie you always had such a good sense of humor".
Chase practically fell out of the bed. Which isn't possible since he's connected to an iv. But still. The room was spinning. He knew that he woke up in to a different universe. Or reality. Or his dream was just really vivid or something and messed with his memories. Either way he didn't think Trent could be anything other then a bully in whatever universe he was in.
Leo, Spike, Kaz and Adam came barching in.
"F*ck of Trent", Spike yelled. Chase was happy to see that his brothers seemed to still hate Trent's guts. He didn't think he could handle being told that Trent was their friend or worse. Please god don't let it be even worse. he thought to himself.
"Don't worry. I won't take long. Can't a guy say hi to his boyfriend, after said boyfriend wakes up from a coma!"
Chase felt like the ground underneed him dissapeared. He felt physically ill. More then he already did. He was well aware that he didn't remember everything correctly. But he couldn't imagine that their was a single reality where Chase's taste in man was that bad.
Sure it hadn't been great in the past. But he liked to think he could never sink that low.
And even if he could infact sink that low. Which -fingerscrossed that he couldn't-.
He knows himself. He knows that he, Chase Davenport, would never be a cheater. Could never be a cheater. Loyal is one of the words people would and should use to describe him. The idea of that changing made him sick.
He had been so offended that his family thought he actually went to Douglas' side. He could never betray people. Which is why it hurts somuch when people do it to him. And he couldn't even begin to think about doing that to others.
Let alone Kaz.
Trent told Chase lies all the time. It was all he said to Chase actually. Telling him he was weak, unworthy, unatlethic, weird, ugly and all other lies Chase knew weren't true. But he had never want something to be false more, then what Trent just said.
He was about to yell that Trent was lying. Even if he wasn't sure, but just really hoped so.
Chase remembered how much it hurt when people betrayed him. And he remembered how bad his crush on Kaz had gotten. And now he was finally dating said hero. Something he dreamed of and fantasized about for such a long time. And now he wouldn't even get to enjoy it? Because it would be ruined, before it started. Or atleast before it started for Chase.
He was about to yell. Scream. Maybe even jump of the bed and tackle Trent. But he was interrupted by voices.
Kaz's voice to be exactly. "Please don't make me laugh! Chase would never cheat on me! And you're like the least believable person for him to have fallen for. I'd believe he'd have fallen for an anti-environment freak before i'd believe he had fallen for you".
Leo glared at Kaz. "Don't you mean serial killer?" Kaz smirked. "Sure. Trent, we'd believe Chase would fall for a serialkiller, before we'd believe that he'd fall for you". That made Chase laugh. It shouldn't. But he couldn't help himself. This was all ridiculous.
Adam put a threatening hand on Trent's shoulder. "I will throw you out of his room, possibly hitting a wall in the process, if you don't leave right now". Then he smiled at Leo and Chase. "I love that now that our bionic secret is out, i don't have to be carefull with my words and actions when i threaten you guys's bully".
Chase smiled at him too.
Spike rolled his eyes at him. "I never was". Leo patted his shoulder. "We know buddy. We know".
Then he turned around to face Trent. "Do you even know the name of your appaerent boyfriend". Kaz laughed. "Leo, buddy, i just said his name".
Leo glared at him. "Thanks for the reminder Kaz. Anyway. Trent usually calls us Dooley and not Dooley. So he probably didn't even pay attention when you said his name. But if they are really secretly dating. -Which ew- Then he would know his name, right?"
Trent tried to get closer to Chase, but Kaz stopped him. "I will litteraly lit you on fire, if you touch him".
Everybody stared at Kaz.
The bionics secret had been revealed to the world. But the existence of superheroes was still a secret.
Kaz cleared his troath. "With a lighter obviously". Trent didn't seem to find that suspicious. Ofcourse not. He is Trent after all.
"Ofcourse i know his name, i just drove an hour to go see him". Spike crossed his arms over his chest and Kaz, Adam and Leo mirrored him. "Shoot", Spike demanded.
"Baby tell you're brothers and the other dude to back of", Trent tried.
Chase glared ar him. "Trent, if you call me baby again, i can not be held responsible for what happens next".
Spike looked at him, seemingly proud of the threath.
Trent cleared his troath. "But ba... okay fine, uhm the name of my goregous boyfriend is.. Cha..z no i mean Chad??"
Chase had previously been scared that Kaz would end up believing Trent. But Kaz was laughing his ass of.
Seemingly just as surprised at Trent's stupidity as the rest. He drove an hour?? to go see Chase?? To mess with him?? But he didn't even remember his name?? Idiot.
Adam and Spike shoved Trent towards the door. Kaz walked towards Trent too. "What are you even doing here", he asked.
Trent seemed annoyed. "When i heard that Dooley's brother. Uhm not-Dooley? Yeah, i don't give a sh*t. anyways that he layed in the hospital with memory problems, i thought it would be fun to mess with him. I had seen you and him kiss before and wanted to make fun of you then. But i wasn't sure if it may have been Spook. Who fk terrifies me. So i didn't. But now i thought, it was my chance to use the sensitive information against you".
Spike seemed seconds away from snapping and quite possibly ripping Trent's head of. Yelling "Oh You homophobic assh*le i swear to..."
So Adam shoved him aside and took care of Trent instead.
"Ofcourse you would be a homophobe, you assh*le! Messing with someone's memory after you find out they have some trouble with it?! That is low! Even for you! If you ever again so much as look at one of my brothers
..I will burn a hole through you, using my heat vision. And i will like it". Trent took the hint and practically run away.
Spike seemed satisfied enough, not to run after Trent. Leo gave Adam an impressed handshake. Kaz practically jumped on top of Chase. But still didn't touch the burn.
"Hey baby", he said mockingly. Chase rolled his eyes. "Yeah, i think that nickname is off limits for a little bit". Kaz chuckled. "Got it".
Chase looked around the room. "How do people even know about my memory issues and me being in the hospital?" Leo shrugged. "News travels fast. People like gossip".
Spike glared at them. "More importantly why do you two keep getting caught kissing infront of our enemies? If you're not even out to the world yet? First Reese now Trent".
Leo stared at Spike. "Spike you were still dating Reese back then".
"That's not my point you tick", Spike spat out to Leo.
"Wees aardig tegen Leo", Chase replied in Dutch.
(Be kind to Leo)
Spike rolled his eyes at Chase.
"Hij maakt het zo moeilijk soms", he replied.
(He makes it so hard sometimes)
Kaz cleared his troath and cubbed Chase's face. "Sorry Spike, that we keep getting caught kissing, i just can't help myself he is so cute".
Chase's brothers made sounds of disgust while Chase happily kissed Kaz.
Chase's brothers left the room, leaving the couple alone.
"I've got to say, even though that was absolutely disturbing, overprotective Kaz is pretty cute and hot". Chase joked.
"You're such an idiot" Kaz teased.
Leaning in for a kiss that Chase happily returned.
"No Trent is an idiot, i actually can't wrap my head around, him driving an hour to the hospital, just to mess with me".
Kaz chuckled. "Maybe he's secretly in love with you, i mean can you blame the guy?"
Chase rolled his eyes at his boyfriend. "Kaz. Just because you like me doesn't mean everyone else does too".
Kaz protectively wrapped his arms around Chase. "That's okay. Not everyone has good taste".
Chase chuckled leaning in for another kiss.
Kaz smirked. "You know for someone, who'se usually very uncomfortable with physical affection, with most people anyway, you seem very in to all the kissing and cuddling".
Chase smiled. "Well i've waited a life time for this".
Kaz laughed "You're 19 and we've been dating for like a year".
Chase laughed. "I was trying to be romantic".
"Oops my bad, please do continue Romeo". Kaz teased.
"Kaz you do know how Romeo and julliet ends right?" Chase teased back.
Kaz sights. "You don't have to ruin everything with logic, smartiepants".
Chase rolled his eyes at him. "Yeah, i kinda do though. Just be happy i've decided to stick with you're magic spacerock story. That gave you magical superpowers, that are scientifically impossible for the humanbo-"
Kaz interrupted him, leaning in for yet another kiss.
"God i have missed you".
**Evil trent that takes advantage of Chase's memoryloss**
I hope you liked it. I tried to make Trent a good guy, by admitting he regreted the bullying and had been in love with Chase the whole time. But i just couldn't take myself serious. So instead i wrote this.
I am kind of proud of the Chaz ending though. The next chapter is 100% fluffy Chaz and will (probably) be called "be prepared to cry". so stay tuned!
Chapter 12: Be prepared to cry (CHAZ)
Summary:
This is my fav chapter and probably the best one.
I added this one later on, when i heard this song, because it just screamed CHAZ to me. We are acknowledging Chase's trust issues and trauma and Kaz is a supportive boyfriend.
I gave Chase a guitar because, Billy Unger/William Brent is a guitarist.
Chapter Text
Song: Death wish by Aislinn Davis
I do not own this song/ the lyrics of the song
Tw: lots of tears, references to death in the song, trust issues, a little bit of swearing
**time jump**
Chase just got released from the hospital after a few days so it's kind of a time jump. He doesn't have a concussion anymore and didn't get anyother injuries except for the weird amnesia and the burn on his chest.
Chase found a healty way to cope with his weird memory problem.
He started writing songs. He didn't remember ever doing so before. But then again he didn't even Remember playing the guitar.
Except for that one time with Marcus and Adam in highschool.
Yet when he picked up his guitar, it felt like second nature.
And when he put his thoughts about his relationship with Kaz on paper, the words came with ease.
And that turned in to this.
Now he is terrified to sing this song to Kaz.
Everybody tells him that they are used to Chase singing infront of them. So it's not new to them but it's new to Chase though.
And he's terrified. But determined. So he invites Kaz to a date night. and he sings him the song that explains how he is feeling right about now. It's romantic, sad and beautifull.
Their home alone. Sitting on the terrace.
Kaz used his firepowers to lit candles "i'm getting all romantic and soft on you and sh*t" he joked. Chase smiled at him.
"Be prepared to cry", Chase warned his boyfriend.
"Ah sh*t you really think i've gone soft. Haven't you?" Kaz teases him. "Just listen, you idiot".
Kaz kissed him. "i can't believe THE Chase Davenport is about to give me a seranade", he teases.
Chase kisses him on the cheek. "I promise i will write you a happy one too. But this is going to be a sad one. I just wrote my thoughts down. It's terrifying. Because i think this might be the most personal thing i'm ever going to say.. wel sing outloud".
Kaz smiles. "Look at you getting all vulnerable and sh*t. Who would have thought". Chase rolls his eyes at him.
"Ready, babe?"
Kaz goes in for one more kiss. When they pull apart he smiles.
"I'm ready babe".
So Chase starts singing.
"I think i'll love you forever. And that's pretty damn scarry"
Kaz is smiling at him. he looks so proud and so happy. And Chase already feels like crying. How did he get so lucky?
Chase keeps singing.
"Cause what if you move on without me".
Kaz's big smile drops.
He's still kind of smiling, but in a sadder way. Yes, he now understands that this isn't a cute, fluffy, lovey dovey, lightsong and he'll probably be in full on crying mode at the end.
Even if we're not together, know you'll always haunt me".
Kaz bites his tongue. So that he won't interrupt his boyfriend.
He knows what Chase is reffering to. He's reffering to being in love with Kaz in every version of realtily. Even the one in which they weren't together. The one he remembers.
"And you could probably do better".
Kaz's heart breaks a little. This has always been how Chase felt, hasnt it?
He's determined to make it his life mission to show him, that he infact couldn't do better.
At this point his lip is bleeding. Because he has to bit down on hit, hard, not to yell.
"When i say the wrong things.
Play the wrong chords on the wrong keys"
Kaz is already fighting back tears. He hates how mean Chase's mind can be to him sometimes and how many people have insulted him in the past. Ofcourse that would take a tool on someone.
"I only fall if it kills me"
Kaz flinces. This one hurt.
Kaz knows what this means too.
Chase thinks that everytime he falls in love it almost kills him.
Quite litteraly.
Like sebastian almost killing his dad and brother and then him. He litteraly got attacked with a abillity he unlocked for Sebastian.
And Like Reese trying to murder his uncle and starting a war against his team. That almost killed them all.
Except those things didn't really happen. But they did in Chase's memories.
"Burry me 6 feet below you"
Yeah Kaz is going to start crying soon.
"Cause i could spend my whole life
Happy i just got to know you"
Yup there come the tears. Kaz quickly wipes them away.
"I think i'll love you forever and it drives me crazy"
Kaz smiles again. Okay it's getting cute again. Thank God!
"Because what if you wake up and hate me"
Nope he spoke to soon!
He thought back to what Chase said in the hospital. "Do you hate me?" Yeah that was enough to make Kaz cry again.
Chase is crying now too.
Chase is scared that Kaz will hate him for forgetting about them.
Chase is also reffering to waking up in his own reality again.
The one in which they are not dating. the one in which Chase fell for Reese's betrayal, because he didnt dare to admit to Kaz, that he was in love with him.
Thinking he wouldn't like him back.
Kaz thinks that's insane.
He can't imagine their could possibly be a reality, in which Kaz wasn't head over heels for Chase Davenport.
He just knew that the Kaz from Chase's memories, was in love with Chase too. He just knew it.
I mean how couldn't he be. it was Chase!
Perfect, handsome, beautiful, amazing, loving, caring, kind, smart, fit, sweet Chase.
He woud always be in love with him. In every verison of reality.
"And you can say that you'd never
But i've watched them all leave"
Oh man that one hurt like h*ll.
He didn't know what hurt more. Chase's tears or the lyrics. Or maybe the fact that the people that Chase is reffering to didn't even realy leave him.
Marcus, Danielle, Sabrina, Sebastian, Reese
None of it happened. Not in the way Chase remembers it anyway.
"Can't change my mind if i can't sleep"
Yeah it would make sense for Chase to have written this at night. The idea was heartbreaking though.
"Bury me six feet below you"
"Cause i could spend my whole life
Happy i just got to know you"
Kaz was smiling again.
This was cute.
He had been really happy he met Chase to.
He was without a doubt his soulmate.
"Happy that you wanted me too"
Great now they were both crying again
He hated that Chase was terrified to wake up and find out that this was all a dream.
That it was all fake.
That his love for kaz was one sided.
And the idea that making these memories would be enough for him, to look back to if they weren't dating, was heart breaking.
"Iknow i'll love you forever and that's really scarry"
Kaz was smilling again
"Cause i can't move on still comparing"
And his smile dropped again.
Chase was reffering to waking up in the other reality. Never being able to move on. Because he'll compare new love to what Kaz and him have.
Here.
The idea hurts. it actually destroys Kaz.
just as the thought he is full blown crying now.
"Even if we're not together
You're still the best thing"
Great.. more tears
"I only fall if it kills me"
They we're both full blown crying now.
Chase had put his guitar away and Kaz had practically launched him self on to his boyfriend.
Being mindfull of the burn on his chest, obviously.
They we're crying in eachothers arms. and they stayed like that. For What felt like hours.
Both not knowing what to say.
"I promise i will always love you" Kaz eventually whispered.
"You're the love of my life" Chase whispered.
And he knew it was true.
Maybe he had always known that.
The next chapter will (probably) be called: "your heart is still my place babe". It's also Chaz and it's also a song lyric chapter. It takes place right after this chapter. I'm posting that one today too.
** i do not own the song. It's called death wish by aislinn Davis. I cut out a few sentences so the song would fit perfectly.
I actually turned this in to a one shot too, only it takes place in the canon universe. So Chase doesn't have any memory problems. Make sure to check it out if you liked this one! In that one Reese, Marcus and Sebastian did betray Chase. So it acknowledges his trauma's. And it's not the exact same read. It's got the same name as the chapter (on purpose). "be prepared to cry by aRandomDutchGirl.
Chapter 13: My heart is still your place babe
Summary:
I like this chapter even more then the previous one. I hope you do too! I wasn't planning on writing another song lyric chapter, but the morning after i wrote the previous chapter i heard this song at the dentist office. I thought it was perfect and added an extra chapter in between. Their is another song lyric chapter coming, because i couldn't help myself once i started writing those lol.
Chapter Text
I do not own the songs featured in this chapter. I only picked specific parts of the songs, so it would make sense for the story.
* first song: remember by emlyn/we are fury*
* second Song: forget me by Lewis capaldi
"Now that we're already crying and in pain anyway... i might as well add to it.." Kaz jokes.
Chase looks in to his eyes.
Both of their eyes are red and they have dried tears on their cheeks.
Kaz clears his troath. "So i actually got all sensitive too".
He hands his boyfriend a crumbled piece of paper, that he fishes out of the pocket of his jeans.
He gives it to Chase. Who reads it.
For an outsider it would look like Kaz had just told Chase their dog died or something like that.
That is how hurt he looked.
Then he cleared his throat, grabbed the guitar again and motioned to his boyfriend to take place beside him.
Said boyfriend did just that.
"Lets turn our pain in to another song shall we?" Chase joked. Smiling softly.
Kaz smiled back. He hated being this vulnerable. But with Chase it felt safe.
Chase sighted and then startes playing the guitar.
While singing the words Kaz wrote down. Referring to Chase's memoryloss.
"I still remember the days, that look on your face when you would say that you loved me"
"How come now all we have is nothing?"
Pain. Pure pain. Is what they both felt.
Chase muthered "oh what the h*ll, i might as well..." and mentally added some of his own words too Kaz's text.
Then he started singing again.
(Kaz's pov:)
"There's a light in your eyes where i feel whole again"
"I get lost in the high, so close to heaven"
"I still remember the days, that look on your face when you would say that you loved me"
"How come now all we have is nothing?"
Kaz was reffering to when Chase first woke up, not remembering anything about their relationship.
At this point they've obviously made some new memories and fallen back in to their rythm.
So they do not have nothing anymore, but Chase still can't remember anything about their relationship from before he woke up from the coma.
(Chase's pov)
"So hold me close"
"Nothing lasts forever"
"When i go"
Kaz's heart breaks a little at that.
Chase is still referring to waking up in to his own "reality".
"Will you remember?"
"Nothing lasts forever"
"When i go will you remember?"
"Will you remember?"
Chase turned the paper around and read the other words that Kaz had written down. On the other side.
"Cause i'm not ready to find out you know how to forget me"
"I'd rather hear how much you regret me"
"And pray to god that you never met me"
"Than forget me"
Chase swallows. sh*t that was painfull.
He was already crying again.
He pulls Kaz in for another passionate kiss and then starts singing.
Adding some of his own words to Kaz's.
(Chase's pov)
"Oh i hate to know i made you cry"
"But love to know i cross your mind"
"Babe oh i"
Kaz smiles at him.
Then he bites his lip.
He knows what's coming next.
His own words.
And sh*t will it hurt.
(Kaz's pov) "Even after i'll this time it still wrecks me"
"To find out you'd know how to forget me"
Yup, that hurt And he may or not be crying again.
"Even after all this time"
"Days ache and nights are grey"
Kaz smiles through his tears.
Chase's added words fit perfectly with the ones Kaz wrote down.
Oh God Chase is going to add his own perspective isn't he?
(Chase's pov)
"My heart is still your place babe"
"Guess i still feel the same"
"Some scars you can't erase babe"
"Guess you still feel the same"
Yup just as he thought.
It's both beautifull and sweet and painfull.
(Kaz's pov)
"Cause i'm not ready to find out you know how to forget me"
"I'd rather hear how much you regret me"
"Pray to god that you never met me"
"Than forget me"
Yup he's absolutely ugly crying at this point.
(Kaz's pov)
"Babe oh i"
"After all it still wrecks me"
"To find out you know how to forget me"
"Even after all this time"
"I'm not ready to let you forget me"
"Even after all this time"
"I'm not ready to let you forget me"
"Cause i'm not ready to find out you know how to forget me"
"I'd rather hear how much you regret me"
"Pray to god that you never met me"
"Than forget me"
Chase is full on crying now to.
Yes again. It's an emotional night okay?
(Chase's pov)
"Oh i hate to know i made you cry"
"But love to know i cross your mind"
"Babe oh i"
(Kaz's pov)
"After all it still wrecks me"
"To find out you know how to forget me"
"Even after all this time"
They're both crying and kissing like their lives depend on it.
Chase dropped his guitar and the boys both layed down on the cold terrace.
They were outside, laying on the ground, but they were kept warm by kaz's fire powers.
They were silently staring at the stars.
Having said enough for one night.
But knowing they were both madly in love.
Chapter 14: According to him
Summary:
Chase and Kaz sing a song adressing some of the sh*tty things people have told them in the past. This song was creepily canon! I only cut out certain sentences and changed a few gender pronounces. I don't own the song lyrics.
I've had this chapter *and 10 others* in my notes for a while, so sorry for not updating for 3 days. I was bussy posting 8 (i'm insane iknow) one shots in 3 days. for my Spike/Chase oneshots. So check it out if that sounds intresting!
Chapter Text
Song; According to you by elise lieberth.
I do not own this song
In my notes, i wrote Chase and Kaz's lyrics in different colors, which made more sense. But AO3 didn't allow me to so. So i hope the way i wrote the difference isn't annoying.
Tw: implied/mentioned; insults/offensive jokes, memoryloss, not feeling good enough, feeling hated
Chase got up from the terrace floor and grabbed his guitar.
"You know what?! Let's deal with those shitty exes or whatever.. anybody that made us feel like we weren't good enough".
Kaz nodded slowly
"Okay..."
"I'm serious it will be like therapy", a suddnely very hyped Chase replied.
Kaz wasn't really in the mood for "therapy", but then again, he was probably as ready as he'd ever be.
"Kaz nodded slowly. "Okay, so what do i do?"
Chase sat down next to him, wit his guitar.
"Just say the things people said to you that hurt you. We're going to heal".
Kaz rolled his eyes at his boyfriend but, then kissed him on the head.
"Okay smarties, whatever you say".
Chase started singing
C: "According to you"
Kaz did what Chase asked him and said the dirst thing that came to mind
K: "I'm stupid"
Chase smiled at him apologetically. Squeesing his hand. As if to say. "You're not stupid. You're save here".
" I'm useless"
"I can't do anything right"
Kaz's heart broke for Chase. He knew he was referring to the avalanche mission (that almost ended him), Sebastian, Trent, Reese, Adam's jokes, Mr Davenport's speeches when he got angry etc.
Chase deserved better.
He sighted. Chase clearly needed this so he continued.
"I'm difficult"
Chase shook his head. Showing that he disagreed.
C: "I'm hard to please"
Kaz did the same thing. Shaking his head.
Actually Chase wasn't hard to please at all. It constantly surprised Kaz, atleast early on in their relationship, how easily pleased Chase was.
As if every tiny bit of affection Kaz showed him, was more then he ever expected to recieve.
Dramatically thankfull, for things Kaz saw as the bare minimum.
Chase wasn't just touch starved. He was also love starved.
If that was even a thing.
If it was, it had Chase Davenport written all over it.
Chase seemed genuinly surprised, maybe even shocked, when Kaz first said he loved him.
While Kaz expected Chase to have figured that out by then.
Being the smartest man alive and all.
He was also so surprised, waking up figuring out, that Kaz and him we're dating.
As if that was impossible.
Kaz decided to keep singing. Chase needed this.
K: "Forever changing my mind"
C: "'I'm a mess"
K: "Cant show up on time. Even if it saved my life"
C: "According to you"
"According to you"
"But according to him"
Oh Kaz suddenly understood where Chase was going with this
C: "I'm beautifull,incredible"
"He can't get me out of his head"
"According to him"
Kaz smiled at him. Chase complimented hiself, using Kaz's compliments, and was now expecting Kaz to do the same thing.
He smirked.
K: "I'm funny, irresistable"
C: "Everything he ever wanted"
"Everything is opposite"
"I don't feel like stopping it"
"Baby tell me what i got to lose"
"He's in to me for everything i'm not, according to you"
Kaz felt like crying.
Happy tears this time.
They we're so Lucky to have found eachother.
Kaz put his head on Chase's shoulder.
Enjoying the angelic sound of his boyfriends voice.
Said boyfriend kept singing
"According to you"
"I'm boring"
(Auch, Kaz felt kinda guilty for making that jokes as well. He stopped though, after Chase told him how many times he'd been called a buzzkill growing up. Chase probably couldn't remember that though, since he only remembered everything from before they got together. If Kaz had known, that Chase wasn't even invited to his own 16th bday party, because he was boring he wouldn't have joked about it.)
"I'm moody"
(Again probably should have said stand up for Chase when people called him that, infront of Kaz).
K: "You can't take me anyplace"
C: "According to you i suck at telling jokes"
K: "I'm the boy with the worse attention span"
"You're the boy who puts up with it"
Chase kissed the top of his head before continuing.
C: "According to you, according to you"
"But according to him"
"I'm beautifull, incredible"
"He can't get me out of his head"
Kaz looked up to his boyfriend.
Practically making hearteyes at him.
And started singing again.
K: "According to him"
"I'm funny, irresistable"
Chase looked at him, eyes filled with love.
C: "Everything he ever wanted"
"Everything is opposite"
"I don't feel like stopping it"
"Baby tell me what i got to lose"
"He's in to me for everything i'm not"
"according to you"
"I need to feel appreciated"
"Like i'm not hated"
"Why can't you see me through his eyes"
Kaz pulled his arm around his boyfriends back.
He couldnt believe that people, that we're supposed to love this sweet boy had made him feel hated.
(Even if some of those things only happened in Chase's mind due to the weird amnesia).
He felt thankfull that he was the hero in the song.
To Chase atleast.
And Chase was Kaz's hero in the song.
C: "According to me"
Oh God. Kaz probably won't like this.
C: "i'm useless"
"i can't do anything right"
Kaz's heart broke a little again.
"But according to him"
"I'm beautifull, incredible"
He smirked at Chase.
This really did feel like therapy. In a way.
C: "I'm funny, irresistable"
"Everything he ever wanted"
"Everything is opposite"
"I don't feel like stopping it"
"Baby tell me what i got to lose"
"He's in to me for everything i'm not" "according to you"
Chase put his guitar away and they shared a long, passionate kiss.
They had found eachother.
They deserved eachother.
They were loved.
And finally felt loved too.
And on that note, Chase grabbed his guitar again.
"Let's do one that doesn't hurt, now shall we?"
Kaz smirks.
"Finally. I've cried enough for today. Or ever for that matter".
Chapter 15: I get to love you
Summary:
One more Chaz song lyric chapter! This is going to be fluffy one. I wrote them all in the same night lol. Next chapter is going to be a heavy, but really good one. The best one yet? It will be Spike centered. This is a short one, the next one js the longest one yet (and in general?).
Chapter Text
Song; i get to love you by Ruelle. I don't own the song.
Please let me know what you think!
Chase pulls him in for a kiss and then starts playing his guitar again.
Lovingly looking in to Kaz's eyes.
"One look at you"
Chase smiles at Kaz.
"My whole life falls in line"
"I prayed for you"
"Before i called you mine"
"I can't believe it's true"
It's painfully beautifull.
It's perfect.
It hurts him, that Chase thought Kaz was to good for him.
And obviously that he entirely forgot about the first year of their relationship.
But he's happy they've got eachother now.
And he's happy that they get to make new memories.
"Oh I can't believe it's true, sometimes"
"Oh i can't believe it's true, i get to love you"
"It's the best thing that i'll ever do"
Kaz plants a kiss on the face of his handsome boyfriend, who keeps singing
"I get to love you"
"It's a promise i'm making to you"
He squeezes Kaz's hand before contuining to play the guitar.
"Whatever may come your heart i will choose"
Kaz puts a hand on Chase's chest.
"Forever i'm yours, forever i do"
" i get to love you"
"I get to love you"
Chase looks in to Kaz's beautifull brown eyes.
"The way you love"
"It changes who i am"
"I am undone"
"I thank god once again"
"Oh I can't believe it's true, sometimes"
"Oh i can't believe it's true, i get to love you"
"It's the best thing that i'll ever do"
"I get to love you"
"It's a promise i'm making to you"
"Whatever may come your heart i will choose"
"Forever i'm yours, forever i do"
" i get to love you"
"I get to love you"
" i get to love you"
"I get to love you"
Chase pauzes for a second.
He plants a kiss on Kaz's forehead.
"And they say love is a journey"
"I promise that i'll never leave"
"Me neither". Kaz whispers
Chase pauzes again. Squeesing Kaz's hand. As to say; remember this.
"When it's to heavy to cary"
"Remember this moment with me"
"I get to love you"
"I get to love you"
" i get to love you"
Kaz smiles at his boyfriend lovingly.
The song is perfect.
This moment is perfect.
Chase is perfect.
"You're perfect" Kaz whispers.
He can tell Chase doesn't believe him, so he adds...
"To me"
"To me you're perfect"
"For me you're perfect"
"I never dared to think, i could have something this beautifull and real", Chase whispers back.
Chapter 16: Spike looks back
Summary:
Spike has flashbacks about the fight that nearly killed Chase.
And he starts to hate other people, the people that Chase didn't forget about. And Adam is a great brother to Spike. (I promise i love Leo too, but it made sense for Leo to be i the hospital waiting for Chase to wake up and Adam/Bree/Spike to be glitching so bad they were home).Please let me know what you think! I honestly think this is the best chapter yet.
Chapter Text
Tw: implied/referenced: attempted murder, (super) agression, heavy emotions, heavy thoughts (about murder, destruction and death), burning (by heat vision), bullying (trent), teasing/hurtfull jokes (siblings), violence, memoryloss, panick attacks, destruction, unconsciousness, near death experiences.
References to canon
We are going back to the past to see Spike's reaction to Chase risking his life for him. I i thought that after Constantly helping Chase get his memories back in the hospital, it would make sense for Spike to kind of lose it. Chase just got released from the hospital after a few days so it's kind of a time jump. He doesn't have a concussion anymore and didn't get anyother injuries except for the weird amnesia and the burn on his chest.
**flashback**
When Spike turned around to Reese practically ending Chase, he could have sworn the world stopped.
He thought this is it, my worst nightmare has come true.
Thankfully he had superagression.
He never thought he'd be that gratefull for it.
But when he saw Chase in life threatening danger something in him snapped.
Like it always did, when Chase was in danger.
He felt the extreme anger coming up.
And he had never been so gratefull for it.
Because anything was better then feeling this upset.
He was practically grieving Chase, who wasn't even dead.
Yet.
He had never felt quite this upset.
Thankfully it didn't last long.
Within seconds of him seeing Chase in danger, he turned in to the monster everyone feared.
Everyone but Chase.
He wanted to tear Reese in to pieces.
Not giving a crap that she was supposed to be his (ex) girlfriend.
Not giving a damn that she was a lady.
Spike would hurt anyone and everyone that hurt Chase.
(No exceptions this time.)
And Reese tried to off him.
Spike still didn't understand how Reese survived that night.
Like always he could only vaguely remember the events that happened, while his superagression got trickered.
He didn't forget, it was more like he tried not to remember them.
Usually.
But this time.
He wouldn't mind remembering.
Because he wouldn't feel guilty.
Spike thought back to that night.
If it hadn't been for Adam...
Reese would be very dead right now.
Ironicly because Adam seemed to want to kill Reese, just as bad as Spike did.
Only Adam still had a conscience.
Spike usually did to, obviously.
Just like he did NOT usually have superstrength.
But when his superagression got trickered, he gained super strength and lost his conscience.
Adam always had access to his super strength (and consciene) though.
And he had to hold Spike in to a iron grip.
Knowing that if he released Spike, before his superagression got deactivated, that Reese would be dead.
Adam did use his heat vision on her, while she was already in handcuffs and powerless.
But who cared about one Burn, when Chase was baerly breathing.
Spike could tell it hurt Adam, not being able to rush after everyone that left with the unconscious Chase.
It probably hurt Adam as much as it hurt Spike.
But it made Spike want to rip Adam's head of.
Not really though.
He just wanted to go after Chase.
But Adam kept telling him, that they would.
As soon as Spike was him self again.
And that relaxed him enough.
Adam could tell he had his brother back.
Adam could always tell.
Spike should be gratefull for Adam.
And he always had been.
He was a great brother and not just to Chase, Bree and Leo but to Spike to.
** end of flashback**
But right now he couldn't help him self.
Ever since Chase had lost his memory, Spike couldn't stand Adam.
Which was stupid and he knew it.
It wasn't Adams fault.
It was Spike's fault, before it was Adam's fault.
But it wasn't either of their fault.
It was Reese's.
And Chase was alive.
So he shouldn't be acting like the world had ended, but he couldn't help but feel like it did.
Because yes, Chase was alive.
But he never knew that just that wasn't enough.
He remembered looking at Chase's lifeless body.
In the few seconds he had before the superagression took over.
Thinking his worst nightmare had come true.
But now Spike knew that it wasn't true.
His entire life he had thought, that Chase dying was the single worst thing that couldn't happen to him.
Losing Chase was his biggest nightmare.
But now he knew better.
Still having Chase, but Chase not remembering who he was...
that was his worst nightmare.
And he was living in it.
And he wasn't going to wake up.
Because it wasn't a dream.
Spike could act tough all he wanted.
But he couldn't fool himself.
He had lost Chase, even if he hadn't really lost him.
And he hated it.
Hated every second of it.
He wanted to hate Chase, but it wasn't his fault.
And he didn't hate Chase.
Didn't even resent him.
No instead he resented Adam.
Like he already said. He blamed Adam.
Not because it was his fault.
It wasn't.
But because Chase remembered Adam.
Adam and not him.
Sure, it made sense that Chase hadn't forgotten about Adam.
But he could remember every single insult Adam had every said to him.
Yet not a single memory he had with Spike.
He remembered Spike as a monster.
After he had spent his entire life, telling Spike he didn't think he was a monster.
And he couldn't even tell Chase how upset he was.
Because Chase wouldn't understand.
Only his Chase would understand.
He wasn't there.
And it was weird and cruel.
Because he still saw Chase and yet he wasn't there.
Not really.
And the worse part was.
Chase didn't lose his memory.
He remembered almost everything just fine.
Remembered everyone just fine.
Except for him.
Was he really that easy to forget?
Did he really mean that little to Chase?
Spike wanted to cope in a healty way.
Like Kaz did.
Kaz would just made new memories with Chase.
But then again Kaz lost his boyfriend of what like a year?
Spike lost his twin brother, his other half, his bestfriend for the last 19 and a half years.
And Chase still remembered Kaz.
Even liking Kaz.
Just not dating him.
Yet he only had 4 memories of Spike.
And those weren't him.
They were his alterego.
The one Chase hated.
The one that didn't exist.
Because Chase didn't have a commando app or an alterego.
Chase had a twin brother, who tore a couch apart because he thought Reese tore his world apart.
Yes, it sounded funny.
It really did he tore a couch apeart.
Adam could to that too.
(Which he did but that wasn't the point).
It sounded light hearted.
Like a joke but, it wasn't it was serious.
And not funny at all.
**flashback**
Spike had never felt the urge to destroy something, quite like he did then.
He saw red.
He'd never seen red before.
But he did and he saw Adam and Bree and they were glitching to.
They were hurting to.
He wanted to get away from them.
Because He just knew he was about to lose it.
Really lose it.
Have no concience.
No control.
And no matter what anyone said.
He loved his siblings.
All of them.
Not just Chase.
But Chase was the only one, that was Save even when Spike lost it.
Because he had the ability to protect them.
The twins.
Him and Chase.
Because it was always going to be him and Chase against the world.
But he still loved the others deeply.
So he run away from his siblings and tore apart the first thing he saw.
A couch.
It was big enough and strong enough to actually take effort.
Then something happened that Spike didn't expect.
Adam stood next to him and he tore the couch apart with him.
It was probably the most disturbing brotherly bounding moment, in all of human history.
But it meant everything to Spike.
Because adam wasn't turning in to a monster.
He was still himself.
He didn't necessairly feel the need to tear something in to pieces.
But he wanted Spike to know, that he wasn't alone.
And it was Adam.
He was always in the mood to break stuff.
And for some reason Spike calmed down.
Not really though, because he didn't stop tearing the couch apart.
But it was him doing it.
Adam and him.
Because they were worried about Chase and they had super strength.
Except Spike didn't, because Adam got him to turn in to himself again.
And deactivated superagression meant deactivated superstrength.
That didn't matter though.
Spike using his regular strength kept shredding the couch.
And any other day Adam would have called him weak.
Not because Chase and Spike were weak, but Because everyone was weak if you were the strongest man alive.
Not today though.
Today they were worried about Chase.
This was a nice memory.
In the most disturbing way possible.
But it showed Adam cared.
Not just about Spike, but about both Spike and Chase.
Adam also felt incredibly angry after watching Reese ruin Chase.
He was going to be fine, they had to believe that.
And then he actually was.
And everyone got their Chase back.
Except for Spike.
And sure his father was a genius and so was his uncle.
They created the smartest, fastest and strongest people alive for crying out loud.
But Spike still feared that somehow they couldn't fix this.
Because memories are fragile.
You can't buy new ones or repare broken ones.
You can't just find lost ones either.
And somehow all of it made Spike hate other people.
The people that Chase didn't forget.
The stepbrother he'd known since he was 15.
The boyfriend he'd known since he was 18.
The alien girl and ice powered superhero he'd known since he was 18.
The brother and sister he'd known for 19 years, yes.
But that threw a sweet 16 party for them, that they weren't invited to.
The siblings that teased him, belittled him, joked about him being a nerd/ugly/weak/boring/girly/weird buzzkill.
Yes they had his back.
But Chase let them get away with a lot.
Which Spike hated.
He always hated that.
That wasn't new.
The new thing was that he almost hated them.
He didn't really hate his siblings.
But he couldn't stand the fact that Chase still remembered;
Adam throwing him in to walls, Bree acting like a girl must have gotten kidnapped if she's talking to Chase, them laughing when Chase's bionic hearing acted up, Adam joking that Chase's head should explode after Chase just risked his life to save them, Adam calling him the worst person to ever be born, calling him a female (piper*) and a buzzkill.
Chase still remembered all of it.
But he didn't remember the things Spike did to help him in those situations.
Chase remembered Adam calling him the worst person to ever be born, but not Spike smashing a guitar on his head as revenge.
Chase remembered risking his life for them and them joking about how his head should explode.
But he doesn't even know they were dragging his unconscious body over the dirty floor afterwards.
Until Spike yelled at them, picked Chase up and carried him.
Chase remembered Adam calling him our daughter piper*.
But not the fact that Spike threw him overboard afterwards.
Sure Adam was going to get in the water regardless, for the mission, but still.
Spike did that to defend Chase.
Chase remembered almost dying in an avalanche, because he felt the need to prove himself.
He wanted to show them he was as important as Adam and Bree.
That he wasn't just flash glue.
Chase remembers it perfectly fine.
But what he doesn't remember, is Spike being there the whole time.
Yelling at Davenport that what he did was awfull.
Awfull parenting.
That they made Chase feel unimportant and should be ashamed of them selves.
Chase also didn't remember Spike trying to talk him out of going.
Chase was supposed to be the rational one!
Yet, Spike had practically begged him not to go to Antartica.
Telling him he didn't have to prove himself to anyone.
Chase didn't listen.
So Spike did what he always did.
He protected Chase.
He went with him and almost died, with him.
Chase had spent the whole trip apologizing to Spike.
Thanking him for being there.
Being gratefull that if they died, they'd die together.
He kept apologizing to Spike.
Days after.
weeks after.
Even months after.
Spike told him to forget about it.
Which meant "stop beating yourself up for a decission i made. I chose to follow you. You didn't force me".
It didn't mean that Chase should actually forget about it.
Chase remembered getting bullied by Trent.
But not Spike shoving Trent in to the lockers and threatening him.
He remembered Adam joking that Chase didn't deserve to live (when they thought Perry was an alien)*.
But he didn't remember how Spike had forced Adam to apologize.
(And smashed a guitar on his head).
Adam had waved him of.
"I was kidding. Chase knows i was. He knows i will always save his life. Were good. He's fine".
Spike had yelled at him.
That words hurt.
Adam had apologized to Chase.
And even thanking Spike afterwards.
Thanking him for showing him that he went to far.
Since Chase didn't dare to do so.
Chase remembered being thrown in to walls, but he didn't remember how Spike once threw the tv at Adam in response.
(Which nobody liked by the way).
Chase remembered having night mares and getting calmed down by Adam and Bree.
But he didn't remember the way Spike was there for him during panickattacks.
He could usually tell when Chase would get a panick attack and he would always be very patient.
Not leaving Chase's side no matter how hard he screamed, cried etc.
And Chase had always been so thankfull because, that's who Chase is.
His better half.
Which he'll never tell Chase, but it's true.
Chase is the kinder version.
Chase is the one that gets him out of trouble and stops him from doing dumb stuff.
Spike threatens Trent when he even so much as looks in Chase's reaction and Chase defends Spike when people call him a monster.
Spike has always felt lucky with Chase.
Because a lot of people are scared of Spike or turn their back on him, after he's snapped infront of them.
But Chase is the most loyal person he knows.
Chase will always have his back.
Chase will always be by his side.
Chase will always be his ride or die.
Chase would take a bullet for him.
Except he did.
He did and it stole al their memories.
Chapter 17: Death by a thousand cuts
Summary:
Another song lyric chapter. The last one i promise. Spike deserved a moment to shine. And william Brent/Billy unger plays Spike as well so if Chase can play the guitar so can Spike right?;)
Chapter Text
Tw: implied/referenced memory loss, murderous thoughts, beginning panick attack
Song: death by a thousand cuts by taylor swift. I don't own the song. But i changed some of the lyrics and added new ones lol. *means i changed the lyric
Spike hates feeling this way.
He'd rather be angry then sad.
Atleast then he'll know what's going on.
He doesn't know how to handle the sadness.
And he can't destory Reese for what she did, because he still has a damn conscious.
He can't do anything, except fall apart.
Which he refuses to do.
So he does something else.
He knows Chase sometimes copes with his feelings, by writing a song and playing the guitar.
So he'll do that.
He'll write his thoughts down or atleast say them outloud.
And he'll steal chase's guitar for a bit.
Chase, Bree, Skylar, Oliver and Kaz we're all training.
He didn't join them.
He didn't understand his feelings and didn't want one of them to accidentally trigger his superagression.
So he trained alone.
And now he was done.
Alone.
Waiting for them to come back.
So he might as well kill some time.
It's better then killing someone.
*couch couch* Reese.
He grabs Chase's guitar.
He never thought he'd be gratefull that his twin brother taught him how to play.
And started playing.
The words came with ease.
"Flashbacks wake me up"
"I get mad, but it's not enough"
"Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby brother"*
Not really.
"Cause i can't pretend that it's okay, when it's not"
"It's death by a thousand cuts"
*"you say i don't know (you)"
"And what was once ours is no ones now"
"I see you everywhere"
"The only thing we share (now) is 100% of our dna*"
"I can't pretend that it's okay
"when it's not"
"If our story is over why am i still writing pages"?
"You've only been gone for a bit. But it feels like ages*
"Because Saying goodbye (to us) is death by a thousand cuts"
"Flashbacks wake me up"
"I get *mad but it's not enough"
"Cause the morning comes and you're not my baby brother*"
"Gave up on me like i was a bad drug"
"And it feels like lightning struck"*
"Our songs, our films, united we stand"
"Quiet my fears with the touch of your hand"
"Paper cuts from our paper thin plans"
(You don't remember our plans, you don't even remember me)
"My time, my spirit, my trust"
(Stop he said to his brain and then out loud)
"Stop"
(But he didn't)
"trying to find a part of me that you didn't take up" (he feels like his entire life is built up on having a twin brother)
"Gave you so much, but it wasn't enough"
"Because i'm the only one you forgot"*
"But it will be alright, its just a thousand cuts"
"Hey buddy, can i sit with you?"
Spike looked up from his intense thoughts.
He was on the urge of having a panick attack.
His emotions had gotten the better of him during the song.
And the person he was singing about, was now hovering over him.
Damn bionic hearing.
He wasn't hyperventilating yet, but he was starting to breath a little sharper.
He nodded and Chase put his arm around him.
"Nice slow breaths".
Spike rolled his eyes at him.
"I know you don't remember it, but i've helped you through like a million panick attacks. You ungratefull ass. Iknow what to do".
Chase looked at him concerned.
Spike sighted.
"You forgot about me and there is nothing i can do about that".
Chase held him tighter.
"It's going to be okay buddy. You have to believe that."
Spike glared at him.
"Yeah well it's easy for you to say that, you didn't lose your twin brother. If anything you gained one".
Chase hugged him.
"You didn't lose me okay, iknow you think you did, but you didn't. I'm here. I won't leave you. And we will figure this out. Together. No matter what it takes."
Spike put his head on Chase's shoulder.
"No matter what it takes".
6 pm European time jan 18th '23
**after swimpractice i'm posting a long one. It Still takes place during this conversation with Spike and Chase. It will be called poison. I think lol. It's supposed to be funny. Then afterwards we've got a dramatic one (going to be calling it something like cheater). And then a flashback. And then (hopefully) finally the chapter called "the truth comes out". Which is not the final chapter, but it is the blig plottwist!! But i decided to break it up, because this heartfell moment deserved it's own chapter. And because i habe to leave for competetive swim practice rn and don't have time to post it, but wanted to post something in the time i had before i had to leave lol. So expect poison in about 3 hours!!
**i ended up posting poison and cheaters together and am now going to post the flashback after swimpractice as well
Chapter 18: Poison&cheaters
Chapter Text
Tw: mentioned/implied: memoryloss, non-graphic food allergies (NO ED triggers) (no allergy attacks)
Chase held him tighter.
"It's going to be okay buddy. You have to believe that." Spike glared at him. "Yeah well it's easy for you to say, you didn't lose your twin brother. If anything you gained one". Chase hugged him. "You didn't lose me okay, iknow you think you did, but you didn't. I'm here. I won't leave you. And we will figure this out. Together. no matter what it takes." Spike grabbed put his head on Chase's shoulder.
"No matter what it takes".
Chase let go of his brother and hands Spike a green smoothie.
"Here i made these for us. I remember Adam, Bree, Leo and Kaz thinking their disgusting, because their green and have vegies in them. So I don't know if you'll like it".
Spike thanked him and almost took a sip.
But then decided against it and looked at the green liquid, suspicous.
"Chase what did you put in it?" Chase shrugged.
"Spinach, blueberries, almond milk, banana, kale, water, vegan protein powder, celery, green apple, lettuce and kiwi".
Spike looked at him like he was insane.
"Great so you came here to kill me? Well atleast you had the decency to poison yourself too".
Chase laughed.
"I've heard Kaz refer to green smoothies as poison as well, so too healty for you too?" Chase joked.
Then he tried to take a sip, but Spike took the glas away from him.
"No, you idiot. It would be fine if you hadn't added kiwi. But appaerently you wanted to kill us".
Chase looked at his twin brother in confussion.
Spike sighted.
"Well atleast i'm not the only important thing you forgot about".
Chase still seemed confussed.
Spike put the glasses with *poison* aside.
"Buddy, we are lethally alergic to kiwi's. We would die if we drunk those smoothies. Well technically we'd have massive allergy attacks, that we could survive if someone yammed a epipen in our thighs. And Bree would have to superspeed us to the hospital. But i imagine you don't want to go back there. So why don't you trust me on this one".
Chase looked at him apologetically.
"Sorry i remembered Adam's allergy for bees, Bree's for peanutbutter and Leo's for shel fish, but not ours appaerently".
Spike laughed.
"Just give the kiwi smoothies to someone else, i'll make us some new ones".
Chase nodded and brought the smoothies away.
Tw for Cheaters: Implied; cheating, anger, flinching, memoryloss, being drunk, swearing. Offensive jokes (about being homophobic, poisoin, favourite child, murder etc).
Chase put the empty glasses in the dish washer.
He and Spike had just finished drinking the new, non poisinious green smoothies.
He had offered the old ones to his boyfriend and sister who denied.
Disgusted.
Almost offended he offered the green juice in the first place.
But Skylar and Oliver had happily accepted them.
Spike had made them new ones, while joking with the others about, how Chase tried to poison himelf and Spike.
Which they hadn't stopped doing yet.
"I'd finally be the favourite child", Bree teased.
"No Leo would be". Spike fired back.
"You do realize i was reffering to Chase being the favourite and not you right Spike?"
"Good, i wouldn't want to be besties with the walking hair gel tube anyway".
Chase had rolles his eyes at him.
"Spike, have some respect for our father would you".
"Walking hair gel tube that is so fu...-".
Kaz tried to say, but he cut himself of when his boyfriend gave him a warning look.
"Not funny Spike. Not funny".
Spike sighted.
"Ugh Kaz, Chase really has you wrapped around his finger doesn't he?".
"You're just jealous that i Chose Chase and not the other twin brother", Kaz joked.
Spike glared at him.
"Wtf Kaz".
Kaz bit his lip.
Oops he shouldn't have made that joke.
"Right. Sorry that was innapropriate".
Chase waved him of.
"You're fine babe".
The other twin didn't seem to think so.
Spike cleared his troath.
"Kaz can we talk for a second".
Chase tried to stop them from walking to the elevator together.
"Chase i'm fine. It's fine".
Kaz had tried.
Chase nodded at his twin brother and boyfriend.
"Try not to kill my boyfriend would ya"?
Who waved him of, cleary not in the mood for jokes.
Kaz followed spike down to mission command".
Kaz asked Spike what was going on, but he didn't respond.
He waited for them to step out of the elevator, in to misison command.
"Chase has bionic hearing too you know? What's the point of talking somewhere else if we don't wait until we're actually in mission command? Atleast here it's sound proof".
Kaz didn't know missioncommand was sound proof, nor did he like it.
Atleast not right now.
Since he had a feeling, that he had seriously pissed of spike.
Just as he expected, Spike was angry with him.
Spike shoved him in to the wall.
It had never occured to Kaz before, how inconvenient dating a twin really was.
Here he was practically making hearteyes, out of habit, to the boy violently shoving him in to a wall.
But he couldn't help himself.
That face was sooo cute.
Yeah, dating a twin was definitively inconvenient.
Especially when you're boyfriends twin brother, has the bionic abillity to turn in to a soldier with no conscious.
"What the heck dude?"
He wasn't sure if Spike's superagression got triggered or not, but Spike was angry, that was for sure.
Spike finally started talking and to Kaz's surprise, he was talking in his normal voice.
He knows that most people can't tell the difference between the twin's voices, but he's spend enough time listening to Chase talk and sing to him that he knows the difference by heart.
Spike's voice is sharper, where Chase's is softer.
Spike's voice is a little bitter, where Chase's is kinder.
Chase and Spike may look identical, but their twins, not clones.
Chase has a bubilly personality where Spike is intenser.
Spike gets irritated more easily, where Chase gets excited easily.
Chase has a better bound with Adam then Spike does.
Chase would always be more polite, kinder and happier then Spike.
Spike used more swearwords where Chase used more "difficult" words.
And these are just a few differences that Kaz noticed, but he could talk about this for hours.
He'd been dating Chase for almost a whole year now.
Sharing an appartment with his boyfriend and said boyfriends twin brother (and older sister) the entire time.
So he'd noticed tons of differences.
Just like Bree, Adam, Leo etc probably had.
The sharper voice broke Kaz's train of thought.
"I'd thought we'd promised we were never going to tell Chase".
He finally spat out.
Oh that's why Spike had freaked out.
Kaz was about to say something back when the normally kinder voice interrupted him.
"Tell Chase what?!"
Needless to say said voice didn't sound all that kind currently.
"Hey babe". Kaz said awkwardly.
"Don't Babe me".
Chase spat back.
His usually sparkling eyes looked stone cold.
It hadn't occured to Kaz until right then, what Chase must have thought he walked in to.
Oh shit! It had looked an awfull lot like Kaz had cheated on Chase hadn't it?
With his own twin brother for crying out loud.
Oh this was bad.
Really bad.
Chase walked right in when Spike had been pinning him in to the wall.
Their bodies not touching but closer near touching, then he should feel comfortable with Chase's twin brother.
Or anyone else for that matter.
What Spike had said didn't mean what Chase thought it did.
Honestly.
But he could totally see how the situation seemed suspicious.
Chase seemed ready to attack.
It was a terrifying idea.
He knew Chase was powerfull, but he 'd never feared him before.
But then again he had never been on the recieving end of Chase's attacks before.
Kaz flinched.
And then mentally facepalmed himself for doing so.
This was ridiculous, he should just clear up the confussion and tell Chase he wasn't cheating on him.
And that they also weren't referring to doing so in the past.
Chase interrupted him before he could say it.
"You don't have to flinch. I'd never hurt either of you guys".
Chase looked absolutely broken.
He raised his voice.
"But i can not believe you! Cheating on me! With my own twin brother for crying out loud! You have some nerve-"
They we're interrupred by Spike's hysterically laughter.
"Omg i wondered why, Chase seemed about two seconds away from ripping our heads of. Omg now i get it. Lmao".
Spike put a hand on Chase's shoulder, who smacked the hand away in response.
"For the smartest man in the world, you can be soo stupid sometimes".
Kaz shoved Spike aside.
"What he is trying to say is babe. I.. we would never do that you".
Chase groaned in annoyance.
"I mean i didn't really think you would.. but then what the heck did i just walk in to".
Kaz chuckled.
"You walked in to Spike attempting to kill me".
Spike rolled his eyes.
"I wasn't going to kill him, i just shoved him in to a wall. If that was deadly, Chase would have died when we were like 5. Or however old we were, when Adam started throwing Chase in to walls".
Chase had visibly calmed down.
He didn't beed any further prove, like surveillance camera footage.
Kaz/Spike's word was enough.
He trusted them.
"So why were you mad at Kaz", he asked.
Spike sighted.
"Well we may as well tell him".
Kaz chuckled.
"Dude i really do not know why you're making sucha big deal out of this".
Chase looked at them confused.
"Kaz made a joke about the wrong twin".
He finally explained.
"And?" Chase asked still confused.
Spike sighted.
It triggered a memory".
Kaz chuckled again.
"Dude you're acting like it was traumatizing".
Spike glared at him.
"It was".
Kaz wiggled his eyebrows at him.
"Honestly that's kind of homophobic of you", he joked.
Spike didn't find it funny.
"You piece of shit you know i would never-"
Chase broke the 2 apart.
"Hey idiots. Just finish the story already".
Kaz launched himself on to the cyberdesk.
"Okay so here is what happened".
"Wait Spike interupted him. Chase i lied to you in the hospital. I didn't pretend to be you to get you guys together. I didn't even know you were together until well i found out. But i was still so emberassed at the memory. I figured if you don't remember anyway..."
Chase chuckled. "Spike you are the worst! But i honestly don't even care about that little white lie, i'm more curious as to what the heck happened. I mean i obviously knew before my weird amnesia. But now i don't".
Kaz cleared his troath. "Okay so here's what happened, mind you i was verry drunk"....

Chapter 19: The flashback Spike&Kaz
Chapter Text
A drunk Kaz confuses Spike for his boyfriend
Tw: for underaged drinking (in the Usa, but legal age in Europe, 18), being drunk
Tw: Spike is uncomfortable by Kaz's touchyness and shoves him of multiple times. Kaz does take the hint though, so their is no non-consent kissing or anything like that, but he does try to do so at first.
** i posted this as a one shot for Spike/Chase oneshots (ch 2 And 3) so you may have already read this.
(a drunk) Kaz confuses Spike for his boyfriend Chase.
Chase's twinbrother doesn't know kaz and Chase are dating.
** flashback
Oliver, Skylar and Kaz just came home from a party of their friend Jordan in Philadelphia. Kaz was cleary drunk.
He walked in to mission command hoping to find his boyfriend there.
Sure it was pretty late, so he didn't really expect Chase to be working in mission command but, it wouldn't be the first time either.
"Hi, handsome", Kaz blurred out when he did in fact stumble up on his boyfriend.
Or that's what Kaz thought anyway.
Spike didn't bother looking up.
"Hi, clearly intoxicated flame brain".
Kaz giggled. "Flame brain that's a new one".
Spike ignored his comment, so Kaz walked closer to him.
"I would have expected you to be a little more enthous.. i.. you knowww happy to see me".
Spike rolled his eyes at him.
"Kaz it's 3 am, nobody makes me happy at 3 am".
Kaz directed puppy eyes to Spike and got dangerously closer to the slighty taller boy.
"Not even me".
Spike shoved him back a bit.
"Especially not you".
"Are you sure?" Kaz asked while closing the space between them, again.
"Yes i'm sure, you freak. You are clearly very drunk. Go to bed before you do something dumb", Spike said.
Shoving Kaz away from him, once again. Not to hard tho. He didn't want to hurt him.
"Want to do something dumb with me", Kaz teased.
"No, i do not feel like pulling a prank right now Kaz. I'm working if you didn't realize that". Spike answered annoyed.
Clearly oblivious to what Kaz actually intented.
<span;>Kaz got impossibly closer to him, once again. "You know for once, i wasn't thinking about pulling.... a prank".
Kaz tried to sound seductive, but probably failed due to the alcohol. Or just because his teasing and seductive talking, didn't have the same affect on Spike, as it did on his twin brother.
-thankfully-
"Kaz for the love of God stop getting so close to me".
Spike was getting frustrated but, he didnt feel emberassed or threatened so they were all good. His superagression wouldn't get triggered.
"Is that really what you want?"
Kaz whispered in Spike's ear, while putting both his arms around Spike's shoulders.
Kaz tried to kiss his neck but Spike shoved him off.
With more force this time but, since his superstrength wasn't currently activated and he wasn't trying to hurt Kaz, he didn't fall.
"Yes it is. Get away from me".
Kaz's grin and amused expression turned in to concern and maybe even a bit of a hurt look.
"Babe? Are you okay? What's going on?"
Spike looked at him in shock.
"Babe? I'm not your babe?!"
Both boys clearly still oblivious to what was going on.
They stared at eachother for a few seconds.
"Listen you do realize i never want to make you feel uncomfortable right? I'm sorry if i made you uncomfortable. It's just that your normally..."
Kaz wanted to say; all in for hugs and kissing and you know make out sessions. So i didn't think you were serious, when you told me to get away from you.
But he decided against it, for unclear reasons.
"Never mind normally. I'm sorry for crossing your boundaries. I never wanted to make you feel uncomfortable".
Spike nodded.
"It's okay. You know your pretty good with words and sentences for a drunk person".
Kaz let out a small chuckle.
"I'm not that drunk. I had like 2 maybe 3 beers. Is that why your mad at me? Because of the underage drinking? Cuz technically i'm 18 and in the Netherlands that's the legal age for buying and drinking alcohol".
Spike let out a small chuggle.
"Kaz i do not care that you had some beers. Go to bed dude".
"I will.. just if their is something going on.. please tell me. I don't want to go to bed when my boyfriend is angry at me? or maybe upset about something? I care about you so much and you're worrying me."
Kaz was trying to figure out why Chase was acting strange, but for Spike it was now clear what was going on.
Boyfriend.
He swallowed.
Oh shit.
The realization hit him like a truck.
He stared at Kaz.
Who seemed to now also understand what was going on.
"I'm not..." Spike tried to explain.
Kaz shook his head in emberassement.
"Shit you're not Chase are you?"
He let out a shakey laugh, but it seemed like he wanted to dissapear.
Spike shook his head. Also in emberassement.
How could he be so clueless?
Also how did he not realize his twin was in a relationship with their friend and teammate.
And why didn't said twin tell him, didn't they tell eachother everything?!
"Okay i take it back. I might be drunker then i thought", Kaz said sounding a little emberassed.
They both laughed awkwardly.
Kaz had practically flown in to the wall in an attempt to get to his ACTUAL boyfriend, as soon as possible.
He rushed in to the room.
Meaning to violently knock on Chase's capsule, but not needing too.
Said boyfriend had already heard him coming with his bionic hearing.
"Hey babe, you're back. Had fun in phil... hey are you okay?"
Kaz was awkwardly, slightly panicking and staring at his boyfriend.
Chase opened the capsule and hugged his boyfriend.
Who nestled his head in to the croock of Chase's neck and sighted in defeat.
"I'm sorry Babe, i really am Chase".
He whispered.
Chase stroke his hair.
"For what?"
Kaz sighted again. "For being fk stupid'.
Chase cupped his face.
"Hey look at me, you are not stupid. Don't ever say that about my boyfriend again".
Kaz sighted.
"Yeah i don't think you want to be my boyfriehndd anymohore".
He started to slur.
The alcohol, stress/panick and sleepyness getting to him.
Chase chuckled.
"Just tell me what happened Kazi".
Kaz sighted.
"I think i harrased you're twin brother. I mean i didn't touch him somewhere inaahpropurly or anything, but crossing someone's boundaries is considered harrassment right? Omg i am a terrible person and i-"
Chase put two firm hands on his boyfriends shoulder.
"Kaz you're fine. It's okay. Let me guess you mistaked Spike for me?"
Kaz sighted again.
"Yeah, but in my defense i'm probably drunker then i should be".
Chase smiled at him, hugging him again.
"It was ought to happen sometime", he joked.
Kaz broke the hug.
"No! It shouldn't have. I should be able to tell the difference between my boyfriend and his brother! It's sooooo obvious to! I litteraly make fun of Oliver all the time, for getting you two mixed up. I always know wo is who".
Chase chuckled, embracing him again.
"Probably because one twin makes heart eyes at you, while the other rolls his eyes at you".
Kaz shook his head.
"You do both of those things".
Chase smiled "true".
Spike knocked on the door of the room he shared with Chase.
"Can i safely come in to the bedroom i share with my twin, or am i going to need to scoop my eyeballs out afterwards?" He jokes.
Kaz flinches at the other twin's voice.
"Are we sure that i didn't trigger Spike's superagression? I mean he usually only makes those graphic comments, about tearing bodies apart when that happens right"?
Chase brushes of Kaz's concern.
"Don't worry his voice still sounds normal. I think we're good".
Chase quickly pulled Kaz in for a kiss.
Then he scooted a little to the right to put some space between him and Kaz, who were both sitting on the couch in the twins room at this point.
"Yeah you're good bro".
Chase told his brother. Mindfull not be to loud, due to their bionic hearing and the fact that it was now 03:30 (am) in the morning.
Spike walks in closing the door behind him.
"Hey braniac, when we're you going to tell me about flame brain?"
** end of flashback
Chapter 20: The truth comes out
Summary:
The big plot twist! Don't worry it's not over yet guys! There's still more! But i'm exited to finally post this one! Please let me know what you think!
Chapter Text
Tw: mentioned: attempted murder, homophobia (only one sentence), memoryloss, Alzheimers (only 2 sentences), (guys Chase doesn't have alzheimers, that's not the big plottwist. Don't worry. I'm not that terrible of a person).
It was a friday morning and everyone was starting the day in their own way.
Bree and Skylar we're eating breakfast in their room, while watching a romcom.
Kaz and Oliver we're on the terrace, eating breakfast and playing games using their powers.
Spike was sitting in the living room, eating fruit and the sugar free cereal everyone bullied Chase for buying.
Spike was not about to admit it, to the annoying Genius, but the sugarfree cereal and vegan (oat) milk really weren't that bad.
He was mindlessly scrolling on his phone.
Chase had woken up earlier, eaten some breakfast and announced that he was going on a run.
Spike had tried to go with.
Like he usually would.
But Chase told him he wanted to be alone, with his thoughts for a bit.
Which annoyed Spike, but Chase was his own person and he could do whatever he wanted.
And Spike's worrying was probably getting out of control anyway.
Chase was a bionic super human for crying out loud.
He would survive going on a run in the parc.
And if sh*t went south, he'd still have a force field, years of fight training, skills in martial arts, his laser bo and many more things that come in handy when you're under attack.
Yeah Chase would be fine...
That's what Spike promised him self.
He tried to calm down by thinking helpfull thoughts. A little rude, but helpfull.
This is getting weird dude. Get a live. You're psthetic if you start to worrying about runs in the parc? You want to hold his hand while he runs? Might as well buy a leesh for him. Damn dude. He's perfectly capable of taking care of himself.
UnFortuanetly the Davenports never we're very lucky....
***
Chase was running through the parc.
Something he liked to do to clear his head.
He usually went with Spike and back at home Adam and Leo would join him sometimes.
Bree obviously was never invited, because she could run across the world before they had finished their average length run.
Spike didn't join him today, Chase wanted to be alone with his thoughts.
He was the smartest man on earth, yet he couldn't remember his twin brother, bestfriend and boyfriend.
It was really eating at him.
Even if he didn't really admit it.
He felt bad for Sebastian and Kaz, but his heart broke for Spike.
He expected to find a solution or maybe an explanation during his run.
And in a way he did..
**
Using his bionic hearing, Chase could hear, that their was somebody coming towards him.
From behind.
He expected it to be Spike, but assuming that would be stupid.
You should always assume the worst, if you're a bionic hero.
Or a Davenport for that matter.
People are always out to get him and his loved ones.
So obviously he checked for a threath.
And who he saw next was not what he expected.
At all.
He turned around and got in to a fighting position.
"Reese", he spat out the word like it was a swearword.
Reese smiled at him.
It almost looked manic.
Dang Spike and Chase did not have good taste in woman.
"Hey baby, missed me"?
Chase was confussed for a few seconds.
Didn't they tell him that Reese and Chase never dated.
But then it hit him.
She thinks i'm Spike.
Chase decided not to say anything else, because if he did, Reese might be able to regocnize which twin she is talking to.
Not a lot of people could tell the slight difference in their voices though.
But Chase wasn't taking any risks.
"I heard what happened to your brother. Such a shame. Iknow how much memory loss terifies you".
This caught Chase off guard.
What was Reese talking about?
Obviously she knew something that he didn't.
Which, at the moment, wasn't that difficult.
Atleast not when it came to Spike.
Right, Spike!
Chase could use his help.
Thankgod for the mental link.
He could send a message to Spike, without Reese noticing.
So he did just that.
**
Spike almost fell of the chair he was sitting on, when he recieved the mental link.
The bionic ability they hadn't used in years.
Shit!
He should have never let Chase go on that run!
He knew it!
He read the message.
Subject C to Subject D:
I send you the coordinates. Get here as fast as you can. It's Reese. She broke out of jail. Make sure to hide so she doesn't see you. Btw she thinks i'm you.
Spike didn't think he'd ever screamed this loud in his life.
"BREEEEEEE".
Thankfully his sister was behind him, within seconds.
They we're Lucky that they could always count on her.
"Chase needs us! Let's go".
Bree didn't need to hear that twice and got ready to speed them away.
They were interrupted by Kaz.
"I'm coming with you".
Spike rolled his eyes, but nodded.
It made sense that he would.
Hearing the Davenport siblings freak out while Chase was on a run, alone, was probably enough to freak him out.
Reese had kept talking to Chase.
Telling him about betrayal and revenge.
Chase listened, but didn't bother replying.
He had figured out by now, that Reese messed with his memory.
On purpose.
Deleting and changing specific parts of it.
Disgusting!
It wasn't amnesia...
And all because Spike told her he feared memory loss.
Using his weakness against him.
She really was a terrible person.
In every version of reality.
**
Chase finally noticed 2 of his siblings and his boyfriend hiding behind a bush.
It wasn't noticable for Reese, but Chase had scan vision for a reason.
He could use it to scan the bush and see what was behind it.
And he knew what bush to look at due to sending the coordinates.
He also had bionic hearing.
All Chase needed to do now, is get Reese to admit; she messed with his memories.
Infront of Spike.
And if Chase was smart about it, he might be able to trick her in to telling him how to reverse the effects.
He changed the subject back, to the part where she said something about memory loss.
"What did you mean by saying memory loss is my biggest fear?"
Chase asked Reese.
Bringing kaz, Bree and Spike up to speed.
They we're close enough to hear them talk.
But even if they weren't, the person who should hear it all had Bionic hearing.
So no matter what, Spike would hear Reese's confession.
Thank god for bionic senses.
Reese laughed.
Again.
Like a pshycopath.
"You don't remember?"
Ofcourse Chase didn't remember.
He didn't remember a lot of things.
Plus Reese was reffering to a conversation, that she had with spike in private.
"No". Reese rolled her eyes.
"Ironic. I thought i erased some of you're twins memory. Not yours".
Boom! Confession!
But Chase didn't stop their.
He needed to hear what Reese had to say.
She sighted.
"You and i we're going to watch a movie. Chase had been watching a documentary about Alzheimerz on your joined netflix account. We watched some of it together. Then You said; having someone you love forget who you are, that seems like the scarriest thing ever".
Chase could baerly breath.
This was awfull.
But he had to keep going.
He owed it to Spike, Kaz, Sebastian, Marcus, Oliver and himself to get the whole truth.
He forced his voice to sound like Spike's.
Just slightly lower, less happy, a bit bitter.
He didn't think he succeeded.
But he also didn't think Reese expected to be talking to the wrong twin.
"So you erased all m.. Chase's memories of me? Because that would hurt h...me the most?"
Reese nodded.
"Yep".
She sounded proud.
It was terrifying.
"We figured out that everyone we wanted to get revenge on, had one thing in common. They cared about Chasey".
Chase felt sick.
But he kept going.
He needed answers.
"So that's why Chase only forgot specific parts of his memory and some parts changed, where others stayed the same?"
She nodded again.
"Chase forgetting about Spike was obviously your punishment, Spike.
Chase forgetting about dating Kaz was his punishment. I thought he'd hate it more, if Chase could remember everything about Kaz, until the point they got together.
Chase having weird memories about Oliver was his punishment. Oliver respects Skylar, it's one of the things he cares about the most: His morals. Probably because his mom is a villain. So we made Chase remember a creepy version of Oliver, with a different charachter and other morals.
Forgetting about Sebastian was Chase's punishment. He forgot about his bestfriend and had weird/scarry memories of the guy trying to kill him and betraying him. Boom trust issues!
We added the whole me and him dating thing, for my entertainment.
We made him forget about You (Spike) and me dating, because i wish i could do that.
We added weird memories of Marcus, just to mess with Chase. He's the smartest man alive.
He'd figure it out if we only chose specific people, that we wanted Revenge on. That was my dad's idea actually."
Chase was just staring at Reese, so she kept talking.
He said and i quote: "We are going to have to work a little harder to trick the smartest man in the world".
"So the basement part and Taylor going blind we're just to really make Chase go insane. Make him think he really lost it. Since his brain is so precious to him. We made him think he couldn't trust it anymore."
She chuckled.
"Iknow we made Chase the victim, even though the ones we wanted revenge on the most were you Spike, Kaz and Oliver. But we figured the key to all of you: is Chase".
Chase could baerly breath.
Could baerly think.
Could baerly restrain himself from attacking Reese.
He felt like crying.
He felt vulnerable and he hated it.
He felt guilty that the love people had for him, made them vulnerable.
He hated Reese.
Maybe he even hated being bionic right now.
He hated the shapeshifters.
He hated the pain they caused.
Just because Kaz and Oliver took a superhero his powers.
What about that quote "a superhero isn't a superhero because of his powers but because of what their willing to do for others"??
Chase hated that they knew how much he depended on his brain and they used that against him.
He hated that they took things from him.
Memories he couldn't buy or recreate.
Memories he wasn't sure he'd ever get back.
Chase hated all of it.
But the fact that Spike, chose to be vulnerable with his girlfriend and she uses that against him?!
Yeah he hated that the most.
**
The realization hit Spike like a truck. He wanted so desperately, to turn in to the monster Reese would fear.
Or atleast should fear.
But he couldn't.
His superagression ironicly, didn't get trickered by feeling agressive.
One of the twins had to feel extremely emberassed or threatened.
There was hope though.
Reese seemed to think emberassing and endangering them was fun.
He hoped she did it fast.
So he could turn in to the monster with superstrength.
Because right now he still had a f*cking conscience, an average amount of strength, an average amount of testrone, his normal non-threatening sounding voice, his normal vocabulary and his morals.
The sooner he'd turn in to the monster, the sooner he'd feel nothing but agression.
Right now he had to deal with feeling betrayed, upset, maybe even scared and stressed.
He hated that.
Chase had kept Reese talking, so she wouldn't escape and because he needed the answers.
But now they really needed to restrain her.
She could use her superpowers at any moment and shape shift in to a bird.
Then fly away.
So Chase send an other message, with the mental link.
To Bree this time, but he added Spike, just so he knew what was happening.
Subject C to Subject B and subject D
"Bree! invisibilty app! SuperPower restraining Handcuffs! Now"!
Bree sneaked up behind Reese using the invisibillity app.
She put on the handcuffs with ease.
Then she revealed herself to Reese.
Chase smiled at her and mouthed a "Thankyou".
Then he grabbed Reese's arm.
"You're going to tell me how to reverse the effects", Chase demanded.
Reese laughed.
"Over my death body".
Spike got out of his hiding spot.
Probably not the smartest thing to do, but he was so sick of Reese.
"That can be arranged", he almost yelled it at Reese.
Reese looked from Spike to Chase and back to Spike.
"Shit, the one running was Chase".
Spike glared at her.
"Yeah well, you did always suck at telling us apart".
(Refering to when she thought Spike cheated on her, but it was Chase kissing Kaz)
Chase grabbed his twin's arm and looked Reese dead in the eye.
"If you don't tell me how to reverse the effects, i'll release the beast on you".
Spike would have laughed, if he wasn't so pissed.
Reese smirked.
"Spike doesn't hurt a lady. Not even when his superagression gets trickered".
Spike kneeled down infront of her.
"Yeah, i wouldn't be so sure about that, this time".
The treath freaked Reese out, a bit, but she contained herself.
"Yeah well. Chase can't trigger you're super agression. You can't trigger you're super agression. And i'm not going to trigger it".
Bree smiled at her.
"Yeah, wel i can trigger spike's superagression! It would be my pleasure".
Kaz walked out from behind the bushes.
Being the last one hiding was getting boring.
"Yeah, me to. I've always wanted to activate it."
Chase rolled his eyes at his boyfriend, but had to fight back a smile.
That was just so Kaz.
Reese laughed.
"Yeah okay, i'll watch the show".
Chas glared at her.
"One thing i don't understand. If you worked so hard to make sure i didn't figure it all out, then why on earth would you confess?"
Reese rolled her eyes at him.
" I thought you were Spike".
"How'd you even know that i or Spike would go on a run right now?"
Reese laughed. "I put a tracking device in his favourite sports jacket. But SOMEONE Appaerently steals his chlotes".
Chase looked down at the jacket he was wearing, he honestly couldn't remember it being Spike's. But to be fair, he still didn't have any memories of Spike.
Now Chase rolled his eyes at her.
"Spike would have told me about your confession. So i'd still find out what happened".
Reese sighted.
"No, because i was planning on confessing to Spike and then killing him. Only obviously i let my ego get the best of me and took to long explaining my perfect plan".
Spike burst out in laughter.
"You really thought that you could have a conversation with me and then off me? Don't you understand, that i would have felt threatened and my superagression would activate".
Reese glared at him.
"It was going to be a surprise attack, that you didn't see coming. It would have been easier with a partner. But SOMEONE put my whole family in jail".
Bree laughed.
"Yeah, as we should".
Kaz glared at Reese.
"How'd you break out anyway?You're powers don't work in THAT jail".
Reese waved him of.
"Don't worry about it Kaz".
Spike was still not over the fact that Reese thought it would be easy to off him.
"Even if i didn't expect it, so i didn't feel threatened, i could still stop the attack with my forcefield".
Reese waved him of too.
"You guys don't always put those up on time. Otherwise Chasey would still have all his memory".
That comment pissed Spike of.
"Give me one reason; why i shouldn't rip your head of right now".
Reese was unbothered by her ex boyfriend.
"I'll give you 2 reasons. 1: you need me alive, so i can tell you how to restore Chase's memory. 2: you're Angry, not threatened or emberassed. So even if you're Forcing you're voice to sound different, you're superagression isn't activated. Which means you still have a conscience. So you won't murder me. Plus without superstrength, it isn't possible to tear somebody's head off". There you go that's 3 reasons".
Spike was ready to prove her theory wrong, but Chase held him back.
"Chase let go of me! I will just beat the confession out of her!"
Chase infact didn't let go of his brother's wrist.
"Spike we are hero's. We don't torture people". Spike, Bree and Kaz all looked annoyed.
"Can't we make an exception for mrs evil over there?"
Spike spat out.
"You can't just beat the sh*t out of a girl, in the middle of a parc", Chase explained.
"Okay so we'll kidnap her, Bree can get her in to the tower without causing suspicion".
Bree was already getting ready to run of.
Agreeing with Spike's suggestion, but Chase stopped her.
"I don't know guys. It feels wrong".
"Not to me", Bree blurt out.
"Iknew i kept you around for a reason", Spike joked to Bree. Who highfived him.
Kaz put an arm around his boyfriend.
"Smarties don't you want you're memories back".
Chase blushed at the wink Kaz added.
"Gay", Reese blurted out.
Kaz turned around and grabbed the arm of Reese, that Bree wasn't holding on to.
"Watch it you homophobic evil maniac. You're on thin ice. i can convince Chase to let his brother give you the beating you deserve".
Chase looked around.
"Guys i don't think we can keep standing in a circle, threatening her and holding on to a handcuffed girl for much longer. Without some body calling the cops on us".
Bree took that as her que to superspeed away with Reese.
Chase groaned in annoyance.
"That was not code for, let's just kidnap her"!
Kaz laughed.
"It should have been though. Come one smarties, i'll fly you home".
Chase shook his head.
"That's sweet Kaz, but i'm just going to run home with my brother. I don't want to leave Spike alone, after he dropped everything to safe me".
Kaz nodded and made Chase do a scan of the surroundings, to make sure no one saw Kaz, before he took of flying.
Spike and Chase started running home.
On the way home they talked about the shocking realization they were still coming to terms with.
Reese messed with Chase's memory on purpose.
Because Spike told her memory loss terified him.
She took advantage of their fear of losing eachother.
Chase may not let Spike beat the crap out of her, but Reese was still not getting away with this.
Chapter 21: Honey i kidnapped Reese
Summary:
Not me posting 2 chapters before 10 am, because i'm so exited that the plot is coming out!
Chapter Text
Tw: flinching, memoryloss, swearing, threatening
Spike had spent the first 10 minutes of the run threatening Reese. Swearing he would get her to tell them how to reverse Chase's memory.
One way or the other.
While Chase tried everything in his power, to keep his brother from exploding.
Not litteraly obviously.
Even though the vain in his neck did look suspiciously close to bursting open.
It's not like Chase himself wasn't angry. But he didn't think that hurting Reese, or anyone for that matter, was the right thing to do".
He tried to reason with Spike.
"She's just a teenage girl, with a villain as a dad. That sh*t can take a toll on you".
Spike practically looked like he wanted to burst Chase's head open.
"Are you fucking kidding me Chase?!"
Chase flinched.
Sh*t had he triggered Spike's superagression?
Getting Spike to reason with him, was going to be impossible now.
He didn't think he was going to be able to calm Spike down right now.
Not after Reese's confession.
Spike broke his thought process.
"You don't have to flinch, idiot. I'm not going to rip your head of. I might do it to Reese though. Anyways. I'm not even mad at you. Not really. But i'm not going to let you defend her. what she did is low. Lower then low. I refuse to let you make excuses for her. Reese robbed you of you're most precious belongings. All of this is kind of my fault. Since i'm the idiot that got on her bad side. So i'm responsible dor you're messed up memory. And that's not something i can live with. So i'm fixing this. End of discussion".
Chase interrupted their running to hug his brother.
"Spike you can't blame yourself".
Spike shoved him of.
"The hell i can't. That blast was supposed to me meant for me. I mean technically, i guess she planned on blasting you all along. Since they wanted to mess with your memory. So they wanted you to take the blast for me. But that's not the point. The point is that i'm the one that made her the enemy. And Kaz and Oliver kinda, but atleast they saved a superhero's life by doing so".
Chase waved him of.
"It's not you're fault".
Spike rolled his eyes and started their run again.
Chase did the same thing.
When they got to the daven tower, Reese was down in mission command.
Together with Douglas, Mr Davenport, Bree, Skylar, Oliver and Kaz.
Chase was happy to see, that she hadn't been attacked by his angry sister, dad(s), boyfriend and friends.
They didn't even put her in handcuffs.
Instead they recreated a jail cell, using a forcefield.
The forcefield witheld her from using her superpowers, but she could move freely in the space that was covered by the forcefield.
"Thankyou guys" he said.
Bree glared at him.
"I wanted to use my thermo nuclear body blast on her, but someone- *she gives a deathstare at Skylar* wouldn't let me".
Kaz groans in annoyance.
"Yes and Oliver was once again my brake* and wouldn't let me set her on fire".
**(Lmao not me refering to Bradley ak Kaz and Jake's ak Oliver's podcast hit the brake)**
Chase thanks Skylar and Oliver and then turns his attention to his boyfriend.
"Set her on fire?!" He repeated.
Kaz sighted. "I wasn't really going to do that, but even if i wanted to, Ollie wouldn't let me".
Chase smiled at Oliver.
"Thankyou from keeping him from burning her alive".
Spike was about 2 seconds away from snapping.
"Yes yes we get it, Oliver and Skylar are great! Can we focus on restoring Chase's memories now?!!"
Reese spoke up for the first time since the twins had arrived.
"Not gonna happen".
Spike yelled at her, but Reese didn't flinch.
She knew she was save behind the forcefield.
Even if it was supposed to keep her from escaping and using her powers, it was actually saving her life.
Since Chase's boyfriend and especially his twin brother seemed ready to rip her head of.
Thankfully for her Chase wouldn't let them.
She had defintively fallen for the wrong twin, all those months ago.
Chase seemed kind, sweet, caring, loyal and rational.
She started to feel guilty for what she did to him, but she couldn't break.
Not now.
She owed it to her family.
But why?
That was beyond her.
All she had ever wanted to become was a hero.
Like the teens standing infront of her.
Adam, Bree, Chase and Spike had a villain as a dad at one point.
Heck they were supposed to become evil them selves.
But they weren't affected by evil parents.
So why was she?
And why were her brothers?
Why we're they willing to kill all superhero's?
Just because their dad wasn't one anymore?
She knew what Riker, Roman and her dad thought about it.
"You're powers being taken from you, is a punishment far worse then death".
But was it really?
Their dad was still with them.
Because of Kaz and Oliver.
Why would that make her despise them?
They saved her dad.
No Not his powers.
But his life.
All of a sudden she didn't feel like resenting them anylonger.
"Okay, i'll talk to Kaz and Oliver". She finally decided.
Chase looked at her hopefull.
He could have sworn something in her expression changed.
Chapter 22: Reese's pov and a cliffhanger
Summary:
Ending this one on a cliffhanger! And We get Reese's pov!!
Chapter Text
Tw: swearing, anger, mentioned; attempted murder
10:10 am and 3 chapters posted. I'm speed.
Absolutely not. I am not leaving", Spike spat out.
Reese swallowed and looked at him. Spike hadn't been a bad boyfriend.
That didn't matter now though.
Their was too much bad blood now.
And she didn't have time to feel guilty.
Or heartbroken for that matter.
When her dad made her choose between him and her family, it had been an easy decission.
Well not easy, but clear.
At first she had been overwelmed by anger.
How did that jerk dare to cheat on her??
With that superhero docter for crying out loud!
But she found out later, that he hadn't.
She didn't know Chase and Kaz we're dating.
Nobody did.
Well obviously Spike must have known and that Oliver dude probably did too.
She figured that Bree knew as well.
Chase and Bree seemed close.
Anyway Spike had always been good at keeping secrets.
So he didn't tell her that Chase and Kaz we're dating.
Sure, It was her fault for not being able to tell her boyfriend apart from his twin brother.
But they we're identical bionic twin brothers.
That had the same hair cut, the same bionic abillities, the exact same handsome face, the same beautifull eyes and that wore the same kind of chlotes for crying out loud.
The fact that anybody could tell them apart, seemed impossible.
Spike had once mentioned something, about their voices not being identical and ofcourse they had different charachters.
Their was also a slight height difference, a slight difference in vocabularity and a difference in their main bionic abillity.
But none of those things had been noticeable, from the distance she was standing on during "that" moment.
Especially since the boy wasn't talking.
-He was to bussy frenchkissing Kaz-
And he was seperated from his "other half".
So she couldn't compare the heigt differences.
The slightly taller twin was Chase.
Chase also had a softer expression.
Spike was tougher.
Even if most of it was an act?
She couldn't be sure.
He had never been the vulnerable type.
Except for when he opened up about the memory fear thing.
Good for him that he never opened up about anything else.
She would have probably used that against him as well.
God she really was a villain, now was she?
She went from being a hero and a loving girlfriend to a villain and a sworn enemy.
She tried to kidnap her ex boyfriend, basically wiped his twinbrother's memory, attacked his home (while he was in it for crying out loud), burned his twin brother while blasting him with a memory wipe and electrical superpower and ...
She had kind of been planning on offing him.
Or atleast that was Spike thought anyway.
And it was better that he kept on thinking that.
He wouldn't have believed the truth anyway.
So did she feel guilty?
Yes!
Without a doubt!
The question was just, did she feel guilty enough to give Chase his memory back?
Spike glared at Reese.
She was sure he hated her.
Good she wanted him too.
Not because she hated him.
She didn't.
Not really.
But because he would be insane if he didn't hate her.
Hate her for what she did. How she betrayed him.
How she took advantage of him being vulnerable.
Which he really never was.
Trust issues maybe? Well if he didn't have them before, he'd have them now, that's for sure.
"Are we really going to treat her like a fucking princess? Comeon just let me threaten her, atleast. I'll have the information in 5 minutes".
Chase tried to calm Spike down.
It didn't work.
She didn't expect it too.
She didn't even want it too.
He should be mad at her.
Hell she felt like he was taking things lightly.
She almost killed the whole team, when thew threw a brick through the Windows.
I mean technically it wasn't that lethal, but if someone had gotten hit by the brick it would have been bad.
Or someone could have gotten a pièce of glass in their eye and gone blind.
And this was like the least horrible thing she had done.
Spike seemed to think the same thing as she did.
She took something from Chase.
From Spike.
From all of them.
His memories.
She found Spike's weakness and used it against him.
He could think that this was her intention from the start.
It wasn't.
But that didn't make it less cruel.
She was a villain.
And she was getting weak with sympathy.
That's what her dad would say.
But then again, she never asked to be a villain.
She never wanted to start a war.
But she also didn't feel guilty blasting all those people.
Not even blasting Chase.
Not even when her ex boyfriend and Chase's other siblings; Bree, Adam, Leo looked like they wanted to die on the spot.
Not even when Kaz started hysterically crying and Oliver had to hold on to him with superstrength so he wouldn't kill her right then.
The same thing Adam did for Spike.
Anyway.
The guilt came later.
But it came nonetheless.
She didn't want it to though.
But she didn't think it mattered in the end.
Wheter or not she felt guilty for her actions.
Spike wouldn't forgive her.
He shouldn't.
She didn't want him to.
He hated her and that was a good thing.
Now atleast things we're clear.
It was clear what they were:
sworn enemies.
That was easier.
It was easier knowing their was no going back.
But her feelings weren't important right now.
She knew that they weren't going to let her go, before Chase got his memories back.
Properly restored memories.
All of them.
As spike was shouting at her, words that she couldn't be bothered to listen to, she realized she didn't feel afraid.
She wasn't a fool, she knew she was going to have to cave.
She was going to have to give Chase his memories back.
But she didn't fear for her life.
That's because she was surrounded by hero's.
Real ones.
That weren't going to turn evil or cruel.
Not now and not ever.
She didn't even think Spike would actually hurt her, even if Chase let him.
Which he wouldn't.
Sure Bree blasted her dad, but she didn't kill him.
They were hero's.
They were above all of that.
She was impressed by how kind Chase stayed.
Everybody else looked like they wanted to rip her head of.
She imagined Chase had snapped at some point, but to her he hadn't.
Not really.
Not in the way she expected him too.
She expected him to be the angriest.
He was the smartest man in the world and she kind of took that from him.
Sure he was still smart.
But his memories we're all mixed and messed up.
She messed with his brain.
Which she expected to be his whole identity.
But appaerently it wasn't.
Being a hero was.
Being a goodperson.
He protected her from Spike, Kaz, Adam, Bree, Leo and everyone else that had threatened her.
She was going to cave, yes.
But she wouldn't die.
She knew she couldn't leave without giving them what the asked for.
But they wouldn't try to kill her.
Yet Reese and her brothers had tried to kill innocent people.
Sure they weren't innocent according to her dad.
But Kaz, Chase, Oliver, Bree, Skylar and even Spike, they we're teenagers.
Determined to save the world, not hurt it.
She was a villain.
She was okay with that.
But they were hero's and they were sure of it.
She finally zoned back in to the conversation and heard Spike's yelling.
"After what she took from me? From you? From us? I can reassure you, i hate her more then she hates me".
Good let him think that.
It was true actually.
And that was okay.
She sighted.
"Just let me talk to Kaz and Oliver, like i said".
Kaz tried to reason with Spike.
"Dude i get it. You have every right to be angry. But she might tell us how to restore Chase's memory! Just let me try to talk to her! You don't have to do it for her or me or oliver. Do it for Chase. Or yourself".
Spike glared at him again.
Then he turned around.
"What The fuck Chase?! I've seen you snap at a computer and completly destroy it. Screaming it was useless. What did that computer ever do to you? I bet it wasn't as bad as what Reese did! So why aren't you snapping? Did you forget about how easily you snap? Do i need to give you some examples?"
Chase didn't snap.
He didn't flinch either.
Well duh, he knew Spike wouldn't hurt him.
"If you keep ignoring your emotions like this. You will eventually break down".
Spike said while glaring at Chase.
Chase shrugged his shoulders. "How unfortuane".
Spike turned around to face her this time.
"Great! Are you happy now Reese! You fucking broke him! You broke the smartest man alive!! He doesn't even yell any more. It's like he's not even here! I hope your happy. You did it. you won. You broke the one person, i care the most about. The dude doesn't even get angry anymore. He's just smiling. Like you didn't rip his world apart! I bet he would forgive you to".
Spike gave Chase a death glare.
Who seemed to *finally* get ready to yell.
"You do realize she stole my memories right?not yours".
Spike glared at him.
"Snap already you dumbass! Punch me if you have to! Siriously! Break my jaw for all i care. Just don't stand their looking like you are okay with all of this"!
What happened next surprised Spike.
It surprised Reese even more.
It happened so fast, she didn't even have time to think.
One second Spike was still screaming at Chase, stabbing his finger in to his twin's chest.
One second later Chase had taken the forcefield down, and had pointed a weapon at her.
She couldn't be sure what kind of weapon it was, it didn't look a normal gun.
It looked more like a waterpistol, but she didn't think that made anysense.
And nope when he pulled the trigger.
She infact did not get soaked with water.
Chapter 23: Spike confronts Reese
Chapter Text
Tw:
Swearing. Mentioned/implied: memoryloss, attempted kidnapping, coma.
I've had this one ready for a while. I was going to post it when i posted the big plot twist 2 days ago. But then i decided to leave it on a cliffhanger for 2 days. Because i'm (appaerently) evil like that. No worries though. No cliffhanger this time, to make it up to you. This one is extremely short, but i'm adding the next one right away. Just felt like the chapter needed to end this way.
Spike stared at his twin for a good 10 seconds.
He was in complete disbelief.
Just like everyone else.
He wasn't angry, he was confused.
"Ch-Chase what did you.. wh- you sho- wa.." he cleared his troath.
"What did you just shoot her with?"
Chase broke in to laughter.
"You guys should have seen the look on your faces".
Everybody looked at Chase, still confused.
Maybe even concerned.
They all expected Spike to snap ar some point.
They wouldn't even be surprised if he attacked her.
But Chase?
Sure they expected him to snap, as in yell at people, but shoot them?
Chase who didn't like hurting people?
Nope they didn't see that one coming..
This is the boy that let's his older brother throw him in to walls, without hurting him back.
Even though he's perfectly capable of doing so.
"Babe what?!" Kaz tried.
Bree stared at Reese for a second.
"Is she.. going to you know?"
Chase smirked at her.
"Die? No, she's fine".
Reese finally broke through the state of shock she was in.
"Did you just shoot me?!"
Chase waved her of.
"Reese it's a harmless invention. You're going to be fine".
Oliver looked at Chase in confussion.
"Wait so what just happened?"
Chase smirked again.
"Well i was about to yell, but then i realized that it was everybody was expecting me to do. So i went for a surprise attack. Using an invention i created a few days ago. Which was Reese's idea actually. The surprise attack part, not the part where i used this invention on her".
Skylar spoke up for the first time.
"So what did you shoot Reese with?"
Chase waved the blue (water pistol look a like) gun in the air, looking proud.
"It's kind of like the anti-lying serum or truth serum or whatever that stuff was called at mightymed.
Only it just sends electric impulses to you're brain that interrupt-
Kaz stopped him.
"Smarties, we all realy respect and love you, but nobody is going to understand what you're about to say".
Chase laughed.
"Reese is only able to speak the truth from now on. It lasts a few hours. I used the surprise attack so she wouldn't use her powers against me, when i dropped the forcefield".
Nobody had noticed, until now, that Chase had already turned the forcefield back on.
"Wait so i'm not like going to die or anything?" Reese asked. Sounding legitimately terified.
Chase smiled at her.
"Nope, it's all harmless. The blast was supposed to be pain free too. I created the whole thing to be able to get you to admit, how we can restore my memory. I want my memories back, but i didn't want to nearly murder you in the proces. I figured you wouldn't help us willingly and that Spike, Adam, Kaz, Bree, Leo, Oliver, Douglas or Skylar would let their Overprotectiveness take over at some point. It was this or getting tortured by my angry twin brother, boyfriend, youner brother, friends, older brother, and/or sister".
Kaz kissed his cheek.
"I never doubted you for a second babe".
"Yes you d-".
"Shut up Ollie".
Reese suddenly spoke up.
"You guys are cute together and just so you know. I'm not actually against you guy's relationship. You seem to have something good together. I hope it lasts".
Kaz smiled at Chase.
"Oh it will".
Spike was still giving Reese a death stare.
"Really dude you wouldn't even let me h-"
Chase interrupted him.
"Iknow you don't want to hurt her. Not really. And this way you don't have to".
Spike rolled his eyes at him.
"Just for the record i do want to hurt her".
Reese shook her head.
"You're lying Spikey".
Spike snapped at her. "don't you dare call me that! You have some nerve-"
Reese interrupted him.
"Don't worry Spike. I'm going to tell Chase how to get his memory back and then We'll go our own ways. You'll never have to see me again. But for what it's worth. I'm sorry".
Spike was still giving her a dead stare.
If only looks could kill....
"Oh you're sorry! Well that changes everything! Oh wait... no it doesn't!
Being sorry doesn't change the fact that you tried to kidnap m-Chase!
Which is a very disturbing way t break up with someone, may i add!
Being sorry doesn't erase the fact that you almost killed all of us, when you broke the windows in our penthouse.
Being sorry doesn't erase the fact, that you almost murdered my twin brother.
Being sorry doesn't erase the fact, that thanks to you said twin brother doesn't even remember me! And you did that on purpose too! And you added specific memories that would give him trust issues.
Being sorry, doesn't Chase the fact that you basically ruined Kaz and Chase's relationship.
Being sorry, doesn't change the fact that you basically ruined Oliver and Chase's friendship. By making Chase think Oliver hates him and is a creep.
Beung sorry doesn't change the fact that you erased your relationship with me in Chase's memory. Because you wanted to forget about it too. So i kinda meant nothing to you huh?!"
"Spike.."
Spike cut her off and kept yelling.
"No! Being sorry doesn't give Chase back all the blood he lost in the field, or change the fact that i donated somuch blood and was so worried that i fucking passed out.
Being sorry doesn't bring Chase's memory back.
Being sorry, doesn't change the fact, that i opened up to you about a fear of mine and you used it against me. I wish i never ever told you all about it!"
Reese tried to interrupt him again. "Spike".
"No! Being sorry doesn't give all of us back, all the sleepless hours we spent fearing Chase wasn't going to wake up from the coma.
Being sorry, doesn't change the fact that you ruined Chase and Sebastian's friendship. They we're bestfriends and now Chase still doesn't trust him. Not truly. Nor the word for that matter.
Being sorry doesn't erase the permanent scar you left on Chase's chest! And mine".
The last 2 words we're baerly audiable.
But somehow Reese heard it.
Spike glared at her.
"It's funny how little words mean, when you're too late".
Reese visibly swallowed. Knowing that there was nothing left to say.
Then she turned to Mr Davenport and Douglas.
"We aren't geniusses like you guys. All you have to do to get Chase's memory back is...."
Chapter 24: Chase finally snaps
Chapter Text
Context: Reese just explained how to get Chase's memory back. Which is both extremely easy and extremely dangerous.
Tw: mentioned: bloodloss, memoryloss, coma, yelling
Spike seemed about ready to attack Reese, again.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME REESE?!
That doesn't even make sense!" Chase put a hand on Spike's shoulder.
"Actually it does. You see if you recreate the same force of the blast, but this time you-"
Spike shoved his brother a side and walked towards the forcefield surrounding Reese.
"Tell me another way to fix Chase".
Reese bit her lip.
"Their isn't one".
She meant it.
Their really wasn't.
Spike turned around to face Chase.
"You are NOT doing that. We are NOT doing that and that is final".
Chase tried to calm him down.
His superagression had yet to be trickered, ever since Chase got blasted.
But Spike sensed a threat now.
So it Probably wouldn't take long any more.
"We are not blasting you Chase! We just got you back! Last time it ended, with you losing a crucial amount of blood, having a concussion and being in a coma!"
Chase tried to argue with his brother, but was distracted by 2 strong arms wrapping around his torso from behind.
"Smarties, he's got a point".
Chase went to face his boyfriend.
"We love you somuch, we don't want you to risk your life, for the sake of restoring your memories".
Bree walked over to Chase now to.
Kaz let go of him, so Bree could hug him.
"Chase. Iknow how important You're memories are to you, but you're more important. We love you somuch. I'm so sorry, but this isn't safe".
Oliver put a hand on his shoulder.
"If i have to choose, between getting my friend back completely, but having him possibly die. Or you keeping your wrong impressions and memories of me but staying safe. I'd choose for your safety, everytime."
Now skylar put a hand on his shoulder.
"They're right Chase, you know they are".
Chase was getting ready to explode.
But he couldn't do that.
Not now.
Not to the people he loved.
Not because they loved him.
And especially not after he didn't do it to Reese either.
Spike glared around the room.
"I say we put it up to a vote. If you do NOT want Chase to risk his life, to restore his memory, raise youre hand".
Bree, Spike, Kaz, Mr Davenport and Spike all put their hand up.
Obviously.
It would make sense for Chase's sister, Twin brother, boyfriend and dad to vote against the "suicide" mission.
Skylar raised her hand as well.
Agreeing with the logic.
Oliver did too, but he really only did it to please Kaz.
He hadn't made a decission yet.
Even if he just said he did.
He knew this was important to Chase, but he also knew it could kill him.
He didn't want that to happen and he knew it would break Kaz in to a million pieces.
So naturally he did what Kaz would want him to do, he raised his hand.
Bree had superspeeded back to the island. To get Leo and Adam.
She also run to missioncreek to get Tasha and Sebastian.
Spike filled them in on the situation.
Adam, Leo, Sebastian, Mr Davenport and Tasha all had the same opinion.
Chase's life wasn't going to be in danger again, not if they could help it.
Adam could be serious in important situations and he was.
He raised his hand and nodded to Spike.
They we're both thinking and eventually saying the same thing.
"You are not doing this Chase. Over my dead body".
Mr davenport looked at his sons and nodded. "Yeah over my rich, goodlooking, dead body".
Everybody rolled their eyes at Donald.
Leo and Bree supported their siblings by standing next to them, folding their arms over their chest (like their brothers had) and nodding.
"I love you guys, but this should be my decission", Chase said.
Oliver and Skylar couldn't help but agree with that.
But they wouldn't dare saying so outloud.
Douglas did though.
"Chase is right".
It hadn't occured to anyone yet, that he was the only one standing in mission command, without one of his hands raised.
(Except for Chase and Reese obviously.)
Donald snapped at his brother.
"Douglas Davenport, you better raise you're hand. I'm not risking my son's life and that is final!"
Tasha tried to soothe her husband.
"Sweetie, everybody else has voted for keeping Chase save. It doesn't matter whether or not Douglas does so as well. We've made our point".
Douglas glared at them.
"I do want Chase to be safe! How could you even say that?! I care about him! You all know i do! But the boy wants his own brain back and i can't blame him for that. I created his bionic chip. I know how his bionic intelligence works. He's used to having all his memories backed up on his harddrive and now the whole harddrive is filled with memories that aren't his. And their painfull memories, that hurt him!"
Donald looked at his brother and then at his son.
"Chase i'm not going to stop working on a cue, but their is no way that i am letting you risk your life for this".
Adam stood next to their father.
"Chase, i don't say this often. Actually i've only said it twice in my life. One time i thought you were dead and the other time you'd gotten close to death as well. But Chase you already know this. I love you. I do. So You're going to have to go through me first. And If you think that i'm not going to do everything in my power, to keep you from blasting yourself, you're wrong".
Bree put an arm around Adam.
"Chase. We tease you a lot, but we love you even more. You're in a disadvantage. No one in this room is going to let you do this. You're strong. You are. Even if we deny it sometimes. But even though you're skilled in martial arts and physically strong, you won't win this fight. Not against all of us. Especially because, you don't want to hurt any of us and we don't want to hurt you either".
Leo smiled at him.
"We love you man, please don't do anything Stupid. Your brothers are the ones to do so. Not you. You're the rational one. So be the rational one".
Kaz stepped forward.
"Chase we can make new memories, but we can't make a new Chase".
Sebastian stepped forward too.
"Kaz is right. We don't like it that you forgot the memories we've made with you, but that doesn't mean we are willing to risk your life to get them back. We can tell you about the older memories and we can , like Kaz said, make new ones. But we can't make new memories if you're dead".
Oliver stepped forward.
"Like i said, i'd rather have you alive, thinking i'm a creep, then dying remembering who i actually am".
Spike stepped forward to.
Not angry this time.
"Chase the first blast left you with a permanent Scar on you're chest, a concussion and a lot of bloodloss. Adam, Bree and i would be willing to donate blood again to save you, but we shouldn't have to. These aren't normal things that siblings go through. You're a 19 your old, who'se gotten close to death many times. So many times infact, that i don't think a single one of us have kept count. Well except for you, since you count everything. Anyway. You were just in a coma for 48 hours. You're strong, but nobody knows if you're going to be that lucky next time to. Dang i never thought i'd refer to your coma as lucky. Anyways we don't really understand how the whole thing works, nor do we care. You are not blasting your self with the weapon Reese used on you".
Chase sighed.
"I have to. It's the only way to get me back". Spike walked towards Reese again.
"Chase how do you know she isn't lying?! She probably came up with the whole suicide mission on purpose!"
Chase shook his head.
"She can't lie. My invention is flawless". Spike sighted.
"Yes, you're the smartest man a live. We get it. Well you'll be the smartest death man if you go through with this plan and you know it. She can't be trusted! She probably found a way to lie through you're anti lying thingy. It's Reese. She's obviously out for blood".
Reese defended herself.
"I'm not lying! And that reminds me, Chase, how long does whatever you used on me last?"
Chase shrugged his shoulders.
"About 3/4 hours give or take. You see every individual brain has different electric impuls-"
Leo interrupted him.
"Hey einstein. Not right now. Right now we are trying to convince the smartest man alive not to do the dumbest thing possible", he snapped.
Chase finally snapped too.
Everybody had been waiting for it.
Some more than the others.
But they all knew he'd snap at some point.
He'd lost a lot of the memories that made him who he is.
He'd been feeling imense guilt towards Kaz, Spike, Sebastian, Marcus and Oliver.
He'd been an emotonal wrack.
Kaz and Chase had spent an entire night crying and making music together.
Afterwards Chase had locked him self up in mission command working, on solutions for his memory problem for hours.
Only stopping when Spike, Kaz or Bree came in to hand him some food and water.
He'd looked at all the pictures on his instagram profile a thousand times.
But still.
Nothing.
He couldn't remember the moments.
He was the smartest man alive.
Yet he constantly had to ask people things, right now.
When was that?
What happened?
Ofcourse he grew tired of it.
But he didn't break.
He didn't snap.
He let Spike snap plenty of times.
He'd cried with Kaz.
But he'd never let his anger take over.
He'd constantly tried to make up for all the years of memories he'd lost.
He was ought to snap at some point.
And he did. And nobody blamed him. Not one bit.
***
"Oh great so now my family loves me".
Chase snaps at them.
"All of a sudden you don't want me to get hurt? Please! Where was all that caring when Adam chucked me in to walls and tabels? I can cleary remember him and Leo and Bree laughing their asses of. But he never did it to them now did he?! And Mr Davenport! You're our father! Don't you think you should have told Adam to quit it. No ofcourse not! Because you only care when Adam gets hurt! Not Chase! When Adam got hurt he got scared of pain. I didn't i wonder why? Oh right because i was used to being thrown in to walls like a doll! When Douglas gave me a new ability and i was finally stronger then Adam, you gave Adam one too. To change the powerdynamic back! Did you even hear yourself when you said that?! I'm so sick of this! You guys say you love me?! Well you have an awfull way of showing it! Because it only gets clear, when i'm on the urge of death! You do realize people need to feel appreciated when their healthy to right?!! I'm sick of you guys playing on to my insecurities, verbally abusing me, constantly making me feel like i'm not good enough. Even with my new team! I get rancked on the bottom of a stupid list and everybody loves to make me feel even worse about that. I can't get through a day without somebody calling me a buzzkill, weak, boring, a nerd, ugly, girly, short, unworthy of romantic relationships, moody and somuch more. But it's great that the one time i actually do not need you guys to care, you all of a sudden do!"
With that Chase stormed out of mission command.
Leaving a flabbergasted, upset and concerned family and team behind.
Chapter 25: I love you that's why
Summary:
Adam is a great older brother. Chase gets the explanation and apology he should have gotten in the actual show. It ends on a cliffhanger again. Sorry not sorry. Don't worry i've already written the next chapter. I won't make you wait long.
Chapter Text
Tw: referenced: bullying, teasing, memoryloss, yelling, trust issues
Kaz runs after Chase.
"Babe, what was that back there?!"
"Dont.. just Don't. Leave me alone"
"Chase.."
Chase turned around to face his boyfriend.
Kaz's eyes were filled with concern.
Chase wanted to say something, he really did.
But he was far too upset right now.
He didn't want to say anymore rude things.
He hadn't yet said something rude to Kaz and he'd like to keep it that way.
He took another shaky breath.
Kaz offered him a hug.
Chase didn't take the offer.
He just fell on to his knees.
Burrying his face in to the material of his sweatpants.
(He was still wearing his running chlotes).
There was a lot he wanted to say.
But he didn't know how to explain, how he was really feeling and what he was really thinking.
Through out his life Chase had been let down and betrayed a lot.
By things (androids, inventions, cybermasks, drones, his bionic chip etc).
By people.
People he would have give his life for.
Only to find out they'd gladly take his away from him.
But also by non-evil people.
People who loved him and didn't even realize how they made him feel.
Then again
By people who never loved him and realized how they made him feel.
But still...
There was always only one thing that Chase could count on.
The one thing that would never leave him.
Sure his family normally had his back, but Because of his trust issues, he had never been sure that they wouldn't eventually leave or abandon him.
Like the others did.
Their was only one thing Chase knew would always be on his side.
His brain.
He'd always have his super intelligence.
Even if people randomly turned on him.
**couch Sebastian couch**
But now the one thing he trusted more then anything, wasn't something he could trust.
Because his own mind was playing games on him.
So who could he trust if not himself?
If not his brain?
He always knew how to fix the problems around him.
Now he was the problem.
How was he going to begin to put those thoughts in to sentences?
He took another deep breath and just yelled what seemed accurate.
"Do you know how much i hate it that everybody just expects me to bounce back?! Just like that! My brain is the only thing i could always count on and now i don't even have that".
"You can still count on us".
It was Adam.
Actually it was all of them, but Adam was the one doing the talking.
Chase didn't even want to look at them.
He knew he took what he said in mission command to far.
But he couldn't help himself.
He knew his family cared about him.
He knew he shouldn't have said all of that.
But he was ought to snap at some point.
Adam put a hand on Chase's shoulder.
Kaz gave him one more sweet smile and then went to stand next to the rest of the elite force.
To give Adam some space.
To Chase's surprise Adam didn't seem angry.
He seemed concerned, but calm and collected.
They really didn't give Adam enough credit for how responsible he could be, when it mattered.
"Chase we joke around with eachother. It's what siblings do. And friends".
He pointed at the elite force who felt as guilty as his family did, after Chase pointed out that they had made him feel insecure.
"When people that care about you are joking around with you, they don't do it with the intention to hurt you. Think about it like this, when you joke around with me, do you actyally want to make me feel upset or unworthy?'
Chase sighed. "No".
"And do you actually mean the things you say?"
Chase sighed again, "No".
Adam smiled.
"Exactly. If somebody like Trent insults you, he aims to hurt you. If somebody who cares about you does it, like me, we don't aim to hurt you. And for what it's worth i always expected you to tell me if i took things to far. Both physically and mentally. We all do. So next time someone takes something too far, don't be afraid to speak up. Since we don't mean to hurt you, we want to know it when we accidentally do. But we can't read your mind. We don't know the things you don't tell us. So if a joke actually makes you feel worthless (unloveable, unworthy, unatlethic, ugly, weird etc) Please speak up".
Chase was met with a bunch of reassuring faces.
None of them had ever meant to hurt him with their jokes.
He knew that.
Ofcourse he knew that.
But it was nice to hear though.
He always assumed it.
Hoped it.
But They'd never told him that before.
Adam was now hugging him.
"And if i ever take the physical things to far, just tell me. And please don't ever question if we love you. You know we do. You don't go around telling us you love us everyday either. And you don't have to. We know".
Chase hugged his brother back.
"I'm sorry". He said, while baerly making eyecontact with the rest of the people surrounding him.
"It's okay. We know". Bree told him.
Then she laughed.
"And this is great. Now Kaz owns me 20 bucks".
Chase looked at his boyfriend.
Faking being offended.
Kaz laughed awkwardly.
"Bree said you'd snap, i said you weren't going to. Now i guess i lost the bet".
"You are all impossible", Chase joked.
Then he went to hug, the rest of his family and friends.
Then he cleared his troath.
"I love you guys. Somuch. All of you. That is exactly why i have to do this".
Everybody's face dropped.
Chase was going to go through with Reese's plan.
And nobody could stop him.
Because it was Chase.
Chase Davenport.
And he always aimed for perfection.
He was always determined.
He was going to take his memories back.
He was going to take back what was stolen from him.
He wanted to be able to trust his own brain again.
He wanted to be whole again.
He wanted to be himself again.
Hyopthetically Adam or Oliver or Skylar, could crush the blasting device with their superstrength.
Hypothetically Kaz could melt the device.
Hypothetically Oliver could freeze the device.
Hypothetically Bree or Skylar, could take it to the otherside of the world with her Superspeed.
Hypothetically Mr Davenport, could threaten Chase to disown him, if he went through with the plan.
Hypothetically Kaz, could threaten to break up with him, if he went through with this.
Hyoptheticaly Leo, could suck the energy source out of the blaster.
Hypothetically Kaz, could fly Chase far away from the daventower and not bring him back, until he had changed his mind.
Hypothetically, there we're a lot of things they could do, to keep Chase from going through with the plan.
Realistically however, there were zero things they could do, to keep Chase from going through with the plan.
Because if Chase had his mind on something.....
He wasn't going to drop it.
Heck he'd rebuilt the device from scratch if he had to.
He'd find a way.
He'd always find a way.
Chapter 26: I'll be getting over you my whole life
Summary:
Chase went through with the plan...
Chapter Text
Mission command was filled with mattresses.
Oliver, Skylar and Kaz had all dragged their own down the stairs.
(Since Bree, Chase and Spike slept in capsules.)
They figured that if Chase got launched on to a mattress he wouldn't be wounded and almost bleed out, like last time.
This way he also wouldn't hit his head on the ground.
Which hopefully meant he wouldn't get a concussion or end up in a coma.
The moment the energy blast hit Chase, everybody's heart dropped.
They all regreted it instantly.
But they didn't have a lot of time to freak out.
Because in all the stress, they had forgotten about one thing.
Spike's superagression.
He'd seen this as a threath towards Chase.
Chase got launched back, crashing in to the mattresses.
Bree stared at Spike for a second, looking at his eyes she could tell, this wasn't her brother any more.
His superagression got trickered.
Spike practically dove in to the forcefield.
In an attempt to attack Reese.
Getting elecktrocuted by the forcefield in the process.
He was screaming and he wanted to see blood.
Nobody was going to be able to calm him down, until Chase was standing up again.
Donald tried to calm his son down, trying to keep his mind of, of the other twin. That was laying on the mattress unconscious.
Donald tried to hug Spike, who destroyed a piece of the cyberdesk instead.
Bree tried to tackle him using her superspeed, but it didn't work.
He didn't hurt her though.
Spike never did hurt any ladies.
And he wouldn't ever hurt his sister anyway.
Adam tried to keep a grip on Spike like he did last time.
But he was a little distracted staring at his little brother's life less body, again.
Spike tried to chuck him in to a wall when Oliver came to Adam's rescue.
Oliver however was able to Freeze Spike, using his powers.
Now that Spike was cooling down, litteraly, they were all able to focus on Chase again.
Everybody had taken place on the floor surrounding him.
Tasha was stroking his hair, Mr davenport was beside her.
One arm around Tasha and the other hand on Chase's chest.
Douglas was sitting next to his brother.
Nervously hanging on to his arm.
Leo and Bree we're holding on to Chase's left arm and hand.
Adam took place behind his siblings.
Putting his arms around them.
He was screaming.
"Don't you fucking dare dying on us Chase".
Kaz was holding on to Chase's right hand.
Oliver was sitting next to him one arm around Kaz and one arm around Skylar.
Spike was still frozen and Reese was staring at the scene infront of her.
Begging the gods to let Chase pull through.
She didn't think that she'd survive it if he didn't.
Litteraly.
All that stuff she thought about them being hero's that wouldn't hurt her?
She was sure, now more then ever, that it doesn't apply if you mess with one of them.
Their no longer hero's if one of theirs own is threatened or hurt.
Because they'll always be humans above anything.
Humans that would die for one another.
Reese was staring at Chase's unconscious body and her frozen ex boyfriend.
Hoping the twins would be okay.
She'd never expected to care wheter or not Chase pulled through.
But she knew that if he didn't, she wouldn't make it out of the building alive.
Kaz's crying snapped her out of ther thought proces and back in to reality.
He sounded so broken.
Kaz stared at Chase's unconscious body. And whispered.
"If you don't make it...."
His voice broke. "I will be getting over you my whole life".
Adam and Bree we're staring at Chase's body.
Overwelmed by flashbacks of Giselle's lab.
It had happened again, only this time they could have stopped it.
They could have prevented it.
They should have threatened him more.
Adam should have just destroyed the blaster with his heat vision.
Bree should have refused to superspeed Reese to the shapeshifters old layer (to get the device).
Adam should have hold Chase in a tied grip when he walked towards the machine.
But none of it mattered now.
Now all they could do was wait for Chase to wake up.
If he woke up.
And they felt helpless.
None of them we're religious.
But they we're all raying nonetheless.
Because they'd do anything to get Chase back.
They'd be lying if they said, that losing him was something they could handle.
Kaz was overwelmed by feelings of guilt.
Chase had risked his life to get their memories back.
Leo had tried to get Kaz to use his powers to break the ice surrounding Spike, but Kaz didn't hear him.
He was sobbing, squeesing Chase's hand and curling in to Oliver's chest.
Nobody really dared to talk unless it felt necessairy.
Adam was wiping Bree's tears away, while fighting back his own tears.
Skylar had moved over to Bree's side.
Trying to comfort her as well.
Oliver was doing everything in his power, to get Kaz to calm down and shoving his own feelings aside in the process.
Leo had been trying to keep his mind preoccupied by focusing on Spike.
But at some point he broke down too, settling in between his mom and his older brother.
Adam wanted to cry, but kept himself preoccupied with calming down Bree and Leo.
At some point Tasha tried to argue ,that they should bring Chase to the hospital.
But Donald argued that, this time, their wasn't anything they could do there, that he couldn't do here.
This way they immidiately had acces to important things like Chase's capsule.
At some point Douglas and Donald decided that they would give that a try.
Oliver used his superstrength to get Chase's capsule down to mission command and Skylar used her superspeed to help him.
Not wanting to bother Adam and Bree.
Adam carried Chase in to his capsule and got in with him.
And it didn't take long for Chase's capsule to do it's job.
Chase opened his eyes and Adam yanked him in to a hug.
Being surprisingly mindfull of his head and the burn on his chest.
Chase had to stay in his capsule for a while, but other then that he seemed fine.
He complained of an awfull headache though, so he went to sleep.
Adam stayed with him until Bree took over his place.
Later on Leo switched places with Bree and eventually it was finally Kaz's turn.
Leo, Adam and Tasha were staying over for the night. Sebastian had left before Chase gor blasted.
They decided to move Chase from missioncommand to Chase and Spike's bedroom.
Chase could sleep in Spike's capsule for the night.
As long as Chase wasn't responsive, they wouldn't be able to calm Spike down.
So they kept him frozen.
Good parenting?
No, But if you weren't a good parent for the first 19 years, then why start now.
Chase was still asleep, so Kaz just did what the others had done. He held him while sitting on the ground, in the capsule.
With his Back against the capsule wall.
Whispering sweet praise in to Chase's ears.
"I love you more then i love myself, please be okay".
Chapter 27: Time heals, but this won't
Summary:
Spike finally isn't frozen anymore. Chase is awake. There's some Donald Davenport Slander in here as well.
Chapter Text
Tw: swearing. Implied/referenced: complete isolation in childhood (canon), betrayal, burned skin, yelling, anger and memoryloss.
Please don't throw your phone against the wall after reading the first few sentences.Just keep reading this story, it will all make sense. I promise
Credits: Vibe of the chapter: Bad Blood by Taylor (some lines quoted from it). (Writing this story is turning me in to a swiftie lmao)
The foreign spoken languages are Dutch, German and Spanish.
Chase woke up in his capsule.
Kaz was sound asleep holding Chase tight in his arms.
Chase kissed him goodmorning.
Kaz yawned and smiled at him.
"Goodmorning smarties".
Chase smiled back.
But his smile faded away, when he realized it hadn't worked.
He'd let Reese blast him, because this was supposed to be the only possible way to get his memory back.
The only way.
Yet nothing happened.
Well something did happen.
But not the thing he wanted to happen.
Chase'd chest hurt like hell.
Physically and methaporically.
Physically, he now had onther burn on his chest.
Methaporically His heart broke a little.
Knowing he was going to have to dissapoint Kaz.
His memory hadn't come back.
Important moments ; like his first kiss with Kaz and their first date, still didn't exist in Chase's mind.
"What's wrong Kaz whispered?"
Chase didn't feel like having this conversation in his capsule.
He didn't think Kaz was going to get mad at him.
Why would he?
It wasn't Chase's fault.
But just for the unlikelyhood that he did, he didn't want Kaz to yell at him in his capsule.
That was his safe place.
His safe haven.
So he got up and helped Kaz up to.
They stepped out of the capsule and kaz immidiaetly wrapped his arms around his waist.
"Everything okay babe?"
Chase turned in his arms, so they'd be facing eachother.
"I am sorry". Chase whispered.
Kaz's smile fell, but only for a second.
"Did you forget everything i'll always remember?" He whispered.
Chase sighted, Burrying his face in Kaz's neck.
Kaz cupped Chase's face.
Smiling at him.
"Babe i am messing with you. To be honest i didn't think this was going to work anyway. I am just glad, that you didn't end up in a coma or a hospital this time. This isn't the end of the world. You're safe that's what matters. And for what it's worth. It's only been a year. I am planning to love you a life time. What is one year of forgotten memories compared to a life time of memories you won't forget? Which i'll make sure of."
Kaz winked at Chase.
Chase laughed at that.
"It's okay Chase. We will make new memories. And you know what? Why don't we recreate the ones you can't remember".
Chase nodded. "I'd like that".
Kaz grabbed his hand.
"Well then what are we waiting for?! Let's start right now. We have the day of anyway!"
"We do?"
Kaz smirked. "Yeah, that's the upside of having a stuborn boyfriend who insists in blasting himself, with a device that previously nearly killed him".
Chase smiled apologetically.
"I'm glad you didn't get any injuries from it this time".
Kaz said, while kissing his forhead.
Chase bit his lip. "Yeah me to".
Kaz raised his eyebrows. "You're lying".
Chase waved him of.
"Whattt no i am not".
Kaz started to check him for injuries.
"Babe, just tell me what hurts".
Chase sighted.
"Since i got hit in the chest again, it burns like hell"..
Kaz grabbed a tube of burn cream.
"We can fix that".
Chase took a deep breath.
"Not the fix i was looking for", he whispered.
Because all the burn cream in the world Wouldn't fix his memories.
He could apply the whole tube, but it wouldn't bring his memories back.
They walked in to mission command and everyone else folllowed them down.
Spike was still frozen.
"Kaz would you like to do the honors?" Chase joked.
Kaz smirked. "It would be my pleassure".
Kaz used his fire powers, just long enough to melt the ice. But not long enough to burn Spike.
Bree used her superspeed to bring Spike a towel, a robe and dry chlotes.
Reese was sitting on the ground, still surrounded by the forcefield. Eating the breakfast Tasha had brought her.
Douglas and Donald were hiding like cowards.
Afraid of Spike's reaction after finding out, that he'd been frozen the whole night.
Bree, Leo and Adam we're sitting on a chair. Ready for the show.
Skylar dragged Oliver put of mission command.
Afraid Spike might kill him, for freezing him.
The second Spike was unfrozen he all but tackled Chase to the ground.
"You asshole i thought you died".
Chase laughed, shoving Spike of of him.
"Can't get rid of me that easily".
"Maybe you should stop trying to prove that gek". (Gek= fool).
Chase laughed while helping Spike up.
"It's not funny Chase. Every time you lay on the groud motionless. I feel like dying".
Chase hugged him.
"I am fine".
"Well i wouldn't say your fine. Your still pretty ugly actually. But i'm glad you feel fine".
Chase ruffled his hair.
"You look exactly the same, jij lelijke man".
(Jij lelijke man= you ugly man in Dutch)
Spike rolled his eyes at him.
"I make this face work. I can't say the same about you".
"Du hässchlicher mann", he added mockingly. (You ugly man in German)
Kaz wrapped his arms around Chase's waist.
"Spikey, i think your brain is still a little frozen. You seem to be confused".
Chase laughed.
Kaz kissed Chase on the cheek.
"Eres guapo, Querido".
(You're beautifull darling)
Chase smiled, hearing Kaz speak Spanish did funny things to him. Kaz is bilinguar, since his parents speak Spanish.
Chase repeated the same thing in Dutch and then in German.
"Je bent mooi schat". "Du bist schön, schatz".
(You're beautifull babe in Dutch and German)
Kaz knew what it meant, because Chase had told him this many times before.
Bree and Leo looked confused, not knowing what the boys we're saying.
Spike made disgusted noises, knowing exactly what lovey dovey crap they we're saying.
"Don't worry i'll do the translating. What Kaz is trying to say is, that face doesn't look good on either one of you. It isn't possible to make that face work", Adam joked.
Chase stuck his tongue out, Spike raised his fist and Kaz glared at him.
Reese sighted.
"Don't be idiots they look exactly the same".
Spike turned around and run towards the forcefield.
"What is that still doing here?!"
"We were waiting for Chase to confirm he got his memory back, before we let her go". Davenport explained.
Everybody staired at Chase.
Chase and Kaz looked at the ground awkwardly.
"Oh for fucks sake!" Spike yelled.
He turned to Chase angry.
"Am i that easy to forget? So i was kinda nothing to you then huh?"
Chase walked towards him again.
"Spike-".
"No don't".
Reese spoke up.
"Spike you know that's not true. The device was specifically programmed to delete those memories from Chase's memory. It doesn't have anything to do with how much the memories meant to him".
Spike glared at her.
"Fuck of. If that is supposed to make me feel better. It's not working".
"I am really sorry". Reese said, again.
Spike punched the forcefield and Reese flinched.
He glared at her. "Bandaids don't fix bullet holes".
Reese whispered. "I know. But i am so sorry. I realy am".
Spike got dangerously close to the forcefield.
"You say you're sorry just for show. I am not fucking stupid. You never loved me and you never cared. You still don't. There was a time where i would have taken a bullet for you. But the whole time, you would have pulled the trigger".
Reese was now the one yelling.
"I did love you! I still do".
Spike's eyes we're stone cold.
"Someone that loves you wouldn't do this, Reese".
"I regret it".
"Yeah, well i regret you all the time. That doesn't change anything!"
Reese looked at the ground.
"I didn't have a choice". Reese's voice broke.
"You always have a choice!"
Spike spat back.
"Just like we are choosing not to let you go!"
Mr Davenport sighted.
"Actually Spike, we are eventually going to let her go".
Spike turned to face his father.
"What?!" Donald cleared his troath.
"We'll use the anti-lying device again. But if we find out there is nothing else she can do for us... Then She's going back to mighty max. It's not like she'll be free. But she shouldn't be locked up in this tiny square in the lab".
Bree spoke up, to everyones surprise.
"Oh but it was fine when you did it to your kids?! We were innocent children. Not villains. We never got out of this fucking prison. We didn't see sunlight. You never felt guilty for us!"
Chase looked around confused.
"I thought you guys said that didn't happen?"
Adam put a hand on his shoulder.
"It did. But not for 15 years like you remembered".
"Yeah somewhere along the line, he realized he was treating kids like prisonoirs. And that his stupid paintings and inventions, got more space in his home then we did".
Donald looked apologetical.
Bree glared at him.
"Baindaids don't fix bullet holes. You say sorry just for show". She mocked Spike.
Who instead of getting mad, just shrugged it of.
His attention back on Reese.
"You used memories like they were fucking weapons. Fuck of with your i'm so sorry. What did you think was going to happen?! Did you think i was going to thank you for erasing his memory? Did you think i'd find it funny? Did you think we'd be fine? I still got scars on my back from your knife!"
Adam interrupted him with a gasp.
"Did Reese stab you?! When?!"
Leo hit him. "It was a methaphore from her betraying him".
Adam waved him of. "Pshh i knew that".
Spike ignored his brothers and started yelling at Reese again.
"What you did is unforgiveable. I thought i could trust you! But you found out my weakness and used it against me. Then you laughed at me, when you revealed the truth to Chase. And now that we've captured you? all of a sudden you feel guilty?! Save it. I don't want to hear it. And save yourself the effort of apologizing. I'll never forgive you. Why would i? You did what you did at the expense of my emotions. I understand that but, i wont respect it".
Reese was on the edge of a break down.
"Maybe some day you'll be able to forgive me", she whispered.
She used to think she didn't want him to forgive her.
She thought, being enemies would be easier.
Now she knew it wasn't easier
Spike laughed.
And for the first time.
Spike was the one with the manic laugh instead of Reese.
"Please! They say time can heal most things?! Yeah well, it won't heal this."
Chase put his arm around Spike in support.
"Yeah, don't think it's in the past. These kind of wounds they last and they last".
Spike was still staring at Reese.
Then he turned around to face Chase.
"So that's it?! You're not getting your memories back?!"
"Oh i'm getting them back and i'm getting rid of the wrong ones. It's just going to take a bit longer then we expected to".
Spike groaned in annoyance.
"Chase iknow, that your supposed to be the smartest man in the world, but Reese already said this was the only possible way".
Chase smiled at him.
"Yeah the only way they could think of to restore my memories. Using their average human brains. Luckily i am a bionic mastermind".
"So you have a plan?!"
"Have you met me? Ofcourse, i have a plan".
Chase was already getting ready to start working on one of his plans.
Kaz dragged him away from the cyberdesk.
"Well i have a plan too. We are going to recreate some of your memories, to see if we can trigger your brain in to releasing them".
Bree rolled her eyes at him.
"You just want an excuse to take him on a date".
Kaz smiled at her.
"You're just jealous, that your still single and Chase isn't".
Adam rolled his eyes.
"Don't be ridiculous, nobody in the history of the world, has ever been jealous of Chase".
Oliver awkwardly raised his hand.
"I have been".
Adam and Leo dramatically gasped.
"Are you sure your not the alien instead of Skylar?" Adam joked.
He recieved warning glares from the entire Elite force.
"Let's go Chasey, we have a first date to recreate". Kaz said, while dragging Chase away from mission command, their friends, Chase's family and Reese.

Chapter Text
Unfortunately, Kaz recreating their first date didn't trigger Chase's memories, but at least they had fun…
Chase shakes away the nasty feeling of guilt and disappointment.
It's not his fault that he can't remember, it's Reese's.
He comes home to find Spike waiting for him.
“Let me guess… it didn't work?”
He doesn't sound angry, nor surprised.
Chase doesn't like that.
So Spike has no doubt in his mind that it's always going to be like this.
Well…
Chase isn't giving up that easily.
Chase wordlessly takes the cup of coffee and the water Spike hands him.
“I figured you'd need some caffeine, or you'd get a massive headache from pushing your bionics and memory to its limit.”
“How did you know?” Chase asks, a little confused.
“Because your Chase Davenport. You haven't stopped repeating everything that's ever happened to you … Since you were like 4. You never give yourself a break. You are a terrible sleeper because you're always drowning yourself in bad memories. Nasty things that happened to you or that people said, or things you wish you did or hadn't done, stuff like that. Plus you're also always coming up with new ideas and everything you see triggers a memory, good ones too, you know. Anyway, my point is, you're so used to the way your brain works, and you feel like you're failing Kaz and me, and you can't trust the one thing you always counted on… must be hard. I know it is for me. All I want to do is talk to the one person who always understood me, who always listened, but he's gone.”
“Spike, everything you said was true, except the last thing. I'm right here, I'm listening.”
Spike sighs.
“Yeah, I know because they changed your memories, not your personality. As long as you're you, you're going to put other people's needs in front of your own, and you'll be trustworthy, and you'll do whatever it takes to please the people you love. I know that didn't change, but as long as you don't remember us, it's just not the same. It's not about specific memories, you know, it's about the general emptiness of living with a stranger… When you're the one person i know best. I swear, I know more about you than I know about me, and that used to be vice versa. But now I have to remind you of things, or I don't even bother telling you.”
“Bother me”.
Spike raised his eyebrows at him.
Chase took a deep breath.
“I'm serious! Tell me everything you haven't yet. I'll ask questions you answer.”
Spike nodded slowly, “okay”.
Chase immediately started firing questions at him.
“What is the one thing I did for you that you're most Thankful for?”
Spike chuckled awkwardly.
“Wow okay..... The fact that you saved me from a toxic relationship, and then you didn't let me drown in self-doubt or whatever. Instead, you took me running and spammed me with cheesy quotes.” (1)
Chase winched.
So Reese wasn't the first toxic girlfriend of Spike?
Yikes.
Then he took a deep breath.
“What was my near-death experience that you found the hardest to witness?”
Spike bit his lip.
“Fuck… Probably the one that caused all this bullshit.”
Chase nodded, expecting that answer.
“Figures”.
Spike shook his head.
“No, wait, actually… the bridge maybe? I was really pissed of that you let all of us out of that limo first and then fucking Adam and Bree let Leo save you. Which he obviously was perfectly capable of bug like one of them has super speed, the other has super strength, they could have done more.”
Chase nodded again.
He only remembered Leo being ready to go down with him, rather than leave without him.
Spike sighed.
“Wait… actually, maybe when you almost died in space? Or when you passed out after saving us from Douglas? Or when you..yeah.. No, all of them, really.”
“Fair enough.”
Chase cleared his throat awkwardly
“What is something you haven't forgiven yourself for yet?”
Spike smirked at him.
“Dude. You're not my therapist.”
Chase raised an eyebrow at him.
“Would the old-Chase know?”
Spike shrugged.
“Well yeah."
Chase crossed his arms.
“Then tell me.”
Spike sighed.
“The fact that Reese almost kidnapped you instead of me.”
Chase shook his head again. “Nope.”
“Huh?”
“You're lying, i can tell.”
Spike groaned.
“Oh… right… Fuck… letting Trent get away with too much?”
“Liar", Chase pointed out again.
“Adam then?” Spike tried.
“Lies.”
Spike groaned.
“Okay fine! The fact that a shape-shifter beat you up, and you didn't fight back because you didn't want to hurt me.” (2)
Chase raised an eyebrow at him.
“I did not know that happened, but I do believe that's the one you feel mist guilty of. Weird, though. You didn't even do it.”
“I know, but you thought I did", Spike explained awkwardly.
Chase nodded again. Not knowing what to say and then changed the subject.
“… Tell me a secret you've never told me before.”
Spike stared at his feet.
“Okay, I've written your name on my science exam before, and then I automatically got a better grade.”
“Bullshit", Chase immediately replied.
Spike laughed awkwardly.
“Okay, fine, that didn't happen. You wrote my name on your test because I needed an excellent grate to pass, and I got an A+, obviously, and since I didn't write your name down – I didn't want to ruin your grades-we both got an A+.”
Chase smirked knowingly.
“You're lying.”
Spike rolled his eyes at him.
“Ugh fine! I'm not lying technically, it's just not a secret. How do you even know that, though?"
Chase shrug.
“I can tell when people are lying, my brain is filled with all kinds of knowledge about things people do when they lie. Only I never use it -we know this I'm Mr. oblivious- because it gives me terrible anxiety and trust issues. But it's easier when it's My face.”
Spike swallowed hard.
“Right. Okay fine, one time we switched places and I found out how badly Trent really bullies you and I beat the absolute shit out of him and then made him tell everyone he fell." (3)
“Spike!” Chase yelled out shocked.
“He deserved it, okay!” spike defended himself.
Chase glared at him.
“Why do I sense that there is something else?”
Spike shrug.
“There is. I threatened Kaz when you started dating, I never told you about that.”
“That doesn't surprise me,” Chase admitted.
“I also once pretended to be you and yelled at Adam after he made that joke about you being useless and are we finally kicking Chase off the team, but it was useless. He knew it was me. Oh, and I once freaked out on dad after he treated you like garbage, then he told me. I don't care which one you are, quit it.”
Chase blinked at that and then thought of anorher question.
“Alright....., what are you yet to forgive me for?”
Spike shoved him lightly.
“Being a dumbass and risking your life to save your siblings like 67 times.”
Chase smiled at him. "Fair enough."
Spike laughed too.
"You know no matter what happens, i'm starting to believe We'll be alright", he admits.
Chase smiles back. "Obviously."
Spike quirked an eyebrow at him.
"Would you call me insane if i suggested we swapped places?"
Chase laughed. "Yes. I would."
Spike smirked at him. "Yeah i figured. But i'm just saying, if we were to do that, peoplr would treat you normal again, because they would think you were me instead of the twin with memoryloss."
Chase frowned. "That sounds like a plan doomed to fail."
Spike laughed. "Yeah that's fair. It didn't exactly work out well last time either."
Chase laughed. "We've tried it before?"
Spike grinned. 'Yes and it went horribly. Kaz figured it out and tried to turn the prank on you by flirting with you while you pretended to be me.' (4)
"Ad then what?"
"You had a panic attack and i yelled at him."
Chase laughed. "Why does every memory involve you yelling at someone?"

Chapter Text
A few hours later, everyone has gone to bed.
Yes, even the smartest man in the world aka the man with the worst case of insomnia ever known to humankind.
That Chase has terrible insomnia makes sense when you constantly have Access to all the knowledge in the world.
And you still remember everything that has ever happened to you, in great detail.
And especially when someone messed around with those memories, and now you're left wondering if you'll ever get them back to their original state.
Despite all that, he's currently asleep. After yet another unsuccessful attempt to get his memories back.
It was sweet though to see his boyfriend so determined to help him get his memories back. Kaz put a lot of effort in to recreating their first date and even though it didn't trigger the original memory, Chase felt loved and cared for, which was all Kaz ever really wanted to accomplish anyway. Despite their plan failing, they still had a blast.
Chase also had fun talking to Spike and even though hearing him revisit their memories didn't trigger anything either, it was still nice to hear them.
Chase is still determined to get his memories back, though.
He'll get them back. He knows he will. He just needs more time.
He's mostly weirded out that Reese's idea didn't work because, yes, it was dangerous, but according to Chase's calculations it should have worked. So why didn't it?
That is what Chase stayed up trying to figure out, however when it got dangerously close to 3 am, Spike came marching in to mission command and dragged him to his capsule.
Some nights, Chase would crawl in to bed with Kaz, but he figured he needed to recharge his chip and body as much as possible after what he put himself through yesterday by purposely getting hit with the machine that messed up his memories.
***
After Spike has confirmed that Chase is finally asleep, he gets back in to his capsule and goes back to sleep
*** ×
It's 4 am.
It's dark in the daventower.
It's quiet.
Or at least it's quiet if you don't have bionic hearing and ignore Skylar's snoring.
Everybody is sleeping.
Whether that means standing up in a capsule or laying down in a bed.
Everything is fine.
Everything is as quiet as it's going to get.
Everybody is asleep.
Everybody is safe.
And then Chase practically throws himself out of his capsule.
He falls out of his capsule, on to his knees, and starts gasping for air.
All alarm bells go off in the minds of the people who love him.
His twin brother is the first one by his side.
And not just because he is the one sharing a room with Chase.
(Their sister has superspeed for crying out loud.)
It's because Spike loves Chase more then he loves himself.
Even though he'd literally rather die, then admit that.
So Spike was next to Chase within seconds.
And Kaz was sitting next to Chase's other side in no time.
Then Bree came running in. Literally.
She hovered over Chase, while glaring annoyed at the boys who claimed the spots next to her little brother. Then she knelt down in front of him.
Oliver and Skylar came rushing in too when they heard all the panicked voices coming from the twins' shared room.
They may not have been dating Chase, and they hadn't grown up with him. But they did care about him.
Bree yanked her phone out of her pocket and aggressively pushed the speed dial. Which, to nobody's surprise, was Adam's phone number.
Adam hated being so far away from his siblings. He hated not being able to protect them. So he insisted on sleeping with his phone in his capsule. Forcing Bree, Chase, and Spike to promise to call him if they ever needed him.
Adam answered within the first 3 seconds. “Bree! Are you okay?” Adam was practically screaming. In his defense; it was 4 am and none of his siblings had actually called him at night before. Well…Until right now.
Bree sighed.
“I'm okay. It's Chase. He's having one of the worst panic attacks he's ever had”.
Kaz could agree with that.
He'd been dating Chase for a while now.
He'd been there for him during panic attacks before, so this wasn't anything new, but he usually stopped hyperventilating pretty quickly.
Adam's concerned voice filled the room.
“Bree, can you come get me? Or should I wake up Bob and get him to geoleap me?”
Chase tried to protest. Adam shouldn't have to come to mission creek at night. And Bree shouldn't have to run all the way to the island at 4 in the morning.
However, Chase couldn't protest.
He couldn't even breathe properly.
He couldn't get his mind to stop racing.
He couldn't stop the feeling of intense fear and anxiety.
His head was hurting, and his throat and lungs burned from the gasping for air.
He tried to focus on Spike rubbing his back.
And on the sweet things Kaz was whispering.
And on Oliver, who was using his powers to make Chase's forehead cold. So he would calm down and not overheat.
Chase vaguely realized Kaz was arguing with Oliver. He had apparently read somewhere that feeling warm stops feeling anxious. He wanted to use his powers instead. But Oliver insisted that cooling Chase down would help.
Their argument was interrupted by Adam, who screamed, "get Out of my way”.
Neither of them had even realized Bree had already ran away, but they as sure as heck realized her running back in with the strongest man in the world holding on to her arm.
Oliver practically flew away when Adam yelled at him.
Kaz tried to argue but, did eventually do what Adam asked.
Spike was the only one that didn't move. But it didn't seem like Adam expected him to.
Adam pulled Chase in to a hug after asking for consent.
Oliver was staring at Bree who was sitting next to Adam while holding a bottle of water, a cup of relaxing tea, a small paper bag (for if chase didn't stop hyperventilating) and a bottle of sleeping pills.
Oliver didn't know what amazed him more. How fast Bree had run to the island and came back with Adam, or how fast Chase calmed down in Adam's arms.
When Chase finally seemed okay, Bree practically shoved the water bottle in his face, while Oliver and Skylar left the room.
Chase almost chugged the entire bottle of water.
All the crying and gasping for air left him thirsty. After he was done, he handed the bottle to Spike, who drank the remaining water.
Adam and Spike we're still sitting next to Chase, while Bree was sitting next to Adam.
Kaz was awkwardly standing on the left side of the twin's room. Behind Spike, but at a safe distance.
He was sure he could have calmed Chase down himself.
He was also sure Chase's brothers wouldn't have let him.
Except for Leo maybe, but he was still sleeping, on the bionic island.
Chase broke the (uncomfortable) silence. He chocked out 2 words. “I remember”.
It was more of a whisper, than anything else, but Kaz heard it all right?
Obviously, he immediately rushed over to his boyfriends side. Scary, protective brothers with super strength and aggression issues be damned.
"What do you remember Chase?” Spike asked hesitantly. He was trying not to get his hope up, but just like Kaz, ended up being barely capable of hiding his excitement.
“Everything” Chase choked out.
“Shut up!” Bree yelled excitedly.
Spike glared at her and then turned back to Chase. “Are you serious? Because if this is a joke, it's fucked up.”
Chase took a shivery breath, trying not to get lost in Kaz's beautiful brown eyes, that were currently filled with a combination of hope and concern.
He had looked at Chase the exact same way when Chase finally calmed down after the first panic attack he ever had in Kaz's presence.
See, he remembers things.
Now he just has to explain what the hell just happened to the people who don't have superior intelligence. Aka literally everyone else in the room.
He cleared his throat. “I'm not kidding, and I think Reese's plan did work; however, the reaction was probably delayed by my capsule, but I obviously needed my capsule to recover from the hit.”
Spike squinted his eyes at him. “I don't know, man, this sounds too easy. I call cap.”
Chase snorted. “You call cap? Okay, first of all, please talk proper English to me and second of all, I understand you're pissed of that Reese's plan worked, but just because she's the reason I got my memories back doesn't mean you're entitled to forgive her. After all, it's her fault they were messed up in the first place.”
“How do we know for sure that you no longer have any incorrect memories now?” Adam asks, confused.
“Let's just say, I wouldn't be opposed to calling Sebastian right now. I feel like I owe him an apology for believing he'd done all that horrible stuff to me.”
“Wait, so you remember everything that happened after you woke up from your coma too?”
Chase sighed. “Unfortunately.”
Bree nodded slowly. “So just to confirm things… Your memories are back to normal? You remember your one-year relationship with Kaz and you remember spike and the 19 years of memories you guys have? But you also remember what weird shit you believed about Marcus and Sebastian and stuff?”
Chase nodded.
Bree yelped excitedly. “This is great, new I'll go get Leo, so we can celebrate!”
Chase shook his head slowly. “Let's celebrate later today, i really just want to talk to my boyfriend and Spike now, if that's okay.”
“Okay sure. I'll bring Adam back to the island, and then We'll celebrate at a more appropriate time, and at that time We'll include Leo; otherwise he'll never forgive us.”
Chase smiled. “Yeah, let's do a sibling lunch date or something. Now please bring Adam back, he needs his beauty sleep, clearly.”
Adam rolled his eyes at him.
Before Bree left, Chase hugged Adam again.
“Thank you.”
“Of course Chasey. Anytime. Plus, it's too bad your face is too ugly to be fixed with some sleep. All the sleep in the world won't fix whatever you got going on.”
Spike balled his fists and Adam yelped. “Bree! Run! Now!” He insisted. Bree snorted before taking off and leaving Chase behind with Kaz and Spike.
“So you remember everything? Just like that?” Spike asked, still half in disbelief.
Chase nodded.
“So, when did we start dating?” Kaz asked soft.
January second at 32 seconds after 11:04 am.
Kaz snorted. “I'll take your word for that.”
Spike still didn't seem to believe him.
“What did I do when I was 8 that got me grounded for a week?”
Chase rolled his eyes at him. “That's a trick question. We were still living in the lab then. We were basically grounded every day. The first time you got grounded was after the first day of high school because you broke Trent's arm in the café.”
Spike rolled his eyes at him.
“What was i afraid of when we first got out of the basement?”
Chase pointed at Kaz. “Can he know?”
Spike nodded.
“Alright then. Falling stars because Leo said everything you wished when you saw one came true, and you were scared you'd wish the wrong thing.”
Spike nodded again.
"And who am I?' He asked, only half jokingly.
“The biggest pain in my ass, my best friend, twin brother, personal bodyguard and the reason at least half of the people we went to high school with are terrified of me.”
Spike rolled his eyes at him. “Welcome back C-”
“Chay chay. That's What you were going to say, wasn't it? See, I totally remember. I even know the first time you called me that. I was 3 years old and skinned my knees in the lab after Adam tackled me, and you told me “you'll be fine chay chay."
Kaz grabbed Chase's arm excitedly. “My turn, what did we do for our first date?”
“We surfed, you took me flying at sunset, and then we swam in the ocean for an hour, and ate vegan ice cream.”
“Wow, you're wrong.”
Spike panicked for a second, but Chase burst out in laughter.
“Kaz for the millionth time. Saving a kid from drowning is not a first date activity.”
“I don't know, sweetheart… I mean, we did it together”, Kaz teased.
Chase lovingly rolled his eyes.
“I refuse to call that our first date. We've been over this.”
Then he took a deep breath. “Why don't you go back to bed, love? I'll climb in next to you in a minute. First, I need to talk to Spike. I don't think he believes me just yet. Plus, he looks a little green.”
“Asshole”, Spike muttered.
“Bionic hearing”, Chase reminded him.
“Gees. I hadn't noticed yet," Spike said sarcastically.
“Yeah okay, I'll see you in a minute then babe.” Kaz said while briefly kissing Chase goodnight and ignoring the gagging sound Spike made.
The second Kaz walked out, Spike's mask fell off completely.
“Oh my god, I hate you," Spike yelled while pulling Chase in to a bone crushing hug.
“I think you mean you missed me”, Chase teased.
“Nope. I hate you. Never pull that shit again. You scared the life out of me.”
Chase bit his lip. “I'm sorry.”
“Don't apologize, just damn I'm glad to have you back. I was scared I was going to have to make new friends or some shit. I literally like no one else but you.”
Chase rolled his eyes. “Our teammates and siblings are decent people too, you know.”
“Yeah, but they're not as selfless and loyal and kind as you. And they can't deal with my sarcasm as good, and they're all a little afraid of me. Which, rightfully so, but it's still annoying. And you already know all my secrets and shit, so I don't have to bother telling you everything again.”
Chase smiled. “I'm truly sorry. I can't imagine what that must have been like having your twin wake up from a coma and having them not remember who you are. Have you talked about it in therapy?”
Spike made a face. “Ew, I forgot you knew EVERYTHING. And no, I did not talk about it in therapy, what was I supposed to say? My identical twin brother kissed his boyfriend in front of my girlfriend, who thought I was cheating on her, so she did what all normal people would have done and tried to kidnap him and then tried to kill me, but she accidentally hit my twin brother because he jumped in front of me. Only it turns out that wasn't on accident after all. So she mixed up his memories, so he wouldn't remember me, and then he woke up from a coma and in fact did not remember who I was. Oh, and did I mention she's a superhero or villain, i guess? Yeah, so surprise, bionic people aren't the only people with powers. Superheroes and villains exist too!”
Chase rolled his eyes at him. “That's not what I meant, and you know it.”
Spike glared at him. “I don't know, it sounded stupid to me. Are you sure you got your memories back, brainiac? Because that question wasn't very smartest man in the world of you.”
Chase grinned at him. “Can I interest you in a detailed explanation of everything that ever happened to us in the past 19 years to prove to you my memories are back to normal, or would you rather that I tell you everything that happened in the 17th century to show you I'm still the smartest man alive?”
Spike cringed. “Don't you dare.”
Chase just laughed harder.
“So are you going to keep this cool guy mask thing you got going on for much longer or are you finally going to tell me what is really going on with you, so we can all go to bed.”
Spike stared at him.
Chase raised an eyebrow at him.
“What part of I've got my memories back did you not understand? Yes, twinthelepathy is back!” He deadpanned.
Spike rolled his eyes at him.
“You of all people should know that's not a thing.'
“Of course It's not. But I know you regardless. Now tell me what's going in that mostly empty head of yours”, Chase teased.
Spike gasped. “Rude asshole. I have no idea why I missed you. I take it back.”
Chase rolled his eyes again. "Shut up and talk to me.”
“How am I supposed to-” Spike interrupted himself when Chase glared at him.
“Okay gees fine. It's just… You had forgotten about me and there was nothing I could do about it. And I hated feeling like i “was that easy to forget”. Like in ever mattered to you. Which I know isn't fair because your memories of me were erased on purpose. But you'd forgotten all the moments I'll always remember. And I kept on repeating the things you said to me previously. You know when you still trusted me with your life and remembered who the fuck I am. It both kept me sane and drove me insane. It was like -I swear if you tell this to anyone else I'll hire a serial killer to off you- I missed you so much I felt physically sick, I guess? Yeah, that is basically how I felt the whole time. Even though you were technically right there, and of course, you made an effort to talk to me and shit, it just wasn't the same.”
Chase wrapped him in a tight hug. “I'm truly sorry you had to go through all this Spike. But I've got my memories properly restored, and Reese's entire family is in Mighty med. Or you know we still have to transfer Reese, but the point is we're safe now. And everything is back to normal.”
Spike sighed.
“Is it, though? I mean, how do you know you won't lose your memories again.”
“Because we recreated the same force that erased my memories and changed some of them so in order to-”
“It's 4 am. Please don't go all Chaseipedia on me. Just say whether you're sure."
Chase grinnes lamely. “Oh I'm certain. Don't worry about it any further. My memories are and will stay properly intact.”
Spike yawned. “Okay well if that's sort. I'm going off to bed. And yes, with bed, I mean I'm going to stand in a glass tube.”
Chase laughed. 'I'm going off to bed as well and with bed, I actually mean bed because that happens to be one of my boyfriend's privileges.”
Spike gave him the finger, and Chase just laughed harder.
“Sleep well, love you”, he mumbles before walking to his capsule.
Chase wrapped his arms around him one more time. “Love you too.”
“I'm so glad you're back. Like completely", Spike whispered.
“Me too.”
“Now go get your beauty sleep, you need it. Yikes.”
“Spike for the millionth time. We've got the same face! Furthermore, please keep in mind, you promised you'd train with me tomorrow morning at-”
“Oh god, he's back. The monster is back. What did I do?" Spike deadpans.
Chase walked out of their room, but not before whispering. “Sleep well, jerk, love you.”
“Sleep well nerd, love you more.”

Then Chase slipped in to bed with Kaz, careful not to wake up Oliver.
“Hi love, sorry to keep you waiting," he whispered while curling in to Kaz's waiting arms.
“Hey baby, welcome back," he whispered back.
Chase groaned, understanding the double meaning. “I'm sorry, you shouldn't have had to deal with that much bullshit so soon in to a relationship.”
Kaz kissed his temple. “Shhh, your life might come with a lot of crazy plot twists, drama and danger, but loving you is worth every second of the chaos and complications that comes with it.”
“Thank you for being patient with me," Chase whispered.
“Of course. I love you, Chase. So much more than you'll ever know. Certainly, more than you love me.”
Chase lifted his head from where he had buried it in Kaz's neck. “I doubt that.”
“Nah it's true sweetheart. Once upon a time, you were my celeb crush and now boom the smartest man on earth and bionic hearth throb is laying in my bed. Funny how life works sometimes.”
Chase snorted. “No one has ever referred to me as a bionic heartthrob. I'm not the favorite of the bionic siblings. Remember. Never have been. Never will be. But it's fine as long as I'm your favorite.”
Kaz rolled his eyes at him. “Babe, have you never been on Tumblr or ao3 or TikTok? You're the fav sibling by far, Leo is a close second. Then Bree. Then Adam. And then Spike. Adam may have been the god at home and at high school, but you're the god on the internet.”
Chase snorted. “You don't have to feed my ego, Kaz. I'm no longer insecure now that I'm no longer being bullied by Trent.”
“Are you kidding me? If anything, I'm feeding my own ego. I mean, sure, you're Chase Davenport. But I'm dating him. That is way cooler.”
Chase laughed again.
“I missed that laugh, baby. I'm glad you got your memories back, but I meant it when I said I would have stayed with you if they hadn't come back. It's time you start realizing your worth more than your brain. You're incredible. You have the kindest heart of everyone I've ever met, and that is someone no villain can take from you.”
“Why are you being so sweet to me?”
“Because you deserve it. You've been looked down on for years. You have actual enemies, yet you're still your own biggest enemy. Not to mention that you've been blaming yourself for getting fucking shot at and targeted and injured by a villain. I know you feel guilty for temporarily forgetting about your twin brother and me and for having incorrect memories about Reese, Sebastian and Marcus, but you don't have to. None of that was your fault. If you want to, we can call Marcus and Sebastian and tell them you remember them correctly again, but first you need some sleep. So, can I hold you until you fall asleep?"
“I love you so much," Chase confessed.
“I know sweetheart. I love you too.”
“This was all adorable, but can we sleep now? For fuck's sake," Oliver complained.
''M sorry", Chase mumbled.
“I'm not," Kaz added. “And stop apologizing, Chase. You're allowed to take up space on this planet.”
Chase smiled wide, knowing he'd been right all a long. He knew he'd find a way to get his memories and his trust in himself back, and he did.
Everyone tried to convince him Reese's plan was stupid and dangerous. And it was, but it did work.
He always saw his memories as weapons. Reasons he couldn't fall asleep at night because the negative ones kept haunting him.
He always thought it was exhausting that simple words could trigger him because they'd somehow remind him of negative memories.
He thought it was terrifying that he could remember every bad thing that had ever happened to him, and he hated how he could recall every insult that had ever been said to him.
But now as he was falling asleep in his boyfriends arms, with his memories properly intact, he couldn't help but feel grateful for them.
For every single one of them, in fact, which isn't something he's ever felt before.
Of course , it still sucks to remember painful things.
But his memories are his, and now more than ever he realizes how truly precious they are.
The dangerous risk he took by letting Reese blast him was truly worth the looks on his twin brother and his boyfriend's faces when they found out he remembered everything again.
And it was certainly worth remembering all the memories he'd made with his twin the past 19 years and the memories he'd made with the love of his life that Kaz and him would hopefully tell their adopted kids some day. Some day far away, obviously.

Please let me know what you think! And thank you for going on this journey with me💞!
