Chapter Text
"This is the worst mission ever!" Bree shrieked into the strong wind that rushed past her, almost making her fall over.
"Calm down, Bree. I'm sure Chase will get us out of here," Adam gripped her shoulders. "And stop moving."
Bree inhaled. And exhaled. Inhaled. And exhaled. Grabbing what was left of her courage, she looked down.
"No, no, no, look up," Adam tilted her chin up to face the sky. "There's nothing for you to see down there." The moment those words left his mouth, they heard another loud crack. Both siblings stilled. Hesitantly, they looked down.
"Adamwe'regoingtodieIdon'tseeChaseorMrDavenportanywheredidtheyleaveusheretodieIdon'twanttodiethecrackintheiceisgettingbiggerwecan'tsurvivethecoldforverylongneitherofuscanflyorlevitatelikeChasecanwhereisChaseWE'REGOINGTODIE-"
"Bree, calm down!" Adam shook her slightly. "Chase will come. Believe in that." His voice shook. "I mean, when has Chase ever abandoned us when we needed help?"
Adam clenched his fists, forcing himself to believe that. But as every second passed, his hope faded. It has been roughly three hours since the factory exploded and they were thrown in the middle of what seemed to be an ocean covered in ice. They were now unable to move a step as the ice was breaking. The cold was starting to get to them. He could feel his teeth chattering.
All of a sudden, he felt a tingle. He froze. A tingle could only mean "Chase!"
"Adam, I'm coming to get you and Bree so don't move." Adam would never admit it, even if in the face of death, but he almost cried upon hearing his brother's familiar voice.
"We don't really have a choice." he quickly retorted, hoping he did not sound too overjoyed and relieved.
"Wow. A simple thanks would suffice." Chase rolled his eyes.
He disabled the mental link as he continued floating over the wide expanse of ice. Chase tapped his earpiece. "Leo, are you guys nearby?"
"Er, no! We're got caught in a mini blizzard so we might be slightly delayed! But don't worry, we still have your location!" Leo shouted.
Chase sighed. Of all the places the factory could be in, it had to be in the Antarctica. He hated the cold. Tugging his jacket tighter, he continued towards his siblings.
"Bree! I just got a mental link from Chase and he's coming!" Adam shook his sister joyfully. "Told you he would."
Bree heaved a sigh of relief. "Now we can finally leave this stupid place."
"Adam! Bree!" both of them turned to find their youngest brother levitating towards them.
"Chase!"
Chase slowly set himself on the ice. Almost immediately, a small crack appeared. "Wow. The ice is getting thinner."
"Yeah, we would know." Bree rolled her eyes. "Please get us out of here!"
"Listen, I'm going to move you guys with my molecularkinesis to come here with me. Where I think its relatively safer. Mr Davenport and Leo will be coming soon." Chase briefly explained, readying himself.
He twitched as his ears picked up an unfamiliar sound. "Do you guys hear that?"
"Hear what? The sound of the ice cracking?" Bree snapped. "Chase!"
"Okay okay. Calm down," Chase held out his hands. "Activating-" The sound was getting louder.
Now Adam and Bree heard it. "What is that?"
Chase looked up, using his super sight. He squinted through the snowflakes as he caught sight of something flying in the air towards them. "Is that a helicopter?"
"A helicopter? Is it Mr Davenport?" Bree suggested excitedly.
"No, I don't recognise it-" Chase froze as he finally saw it.
"Chase! There's a helicopter from Cayn approaching you guys! They must have come back to finish the job!" Leo shouted in his ear.
"A little too late, Leo." Chase hissed, thinking. He could see machine guns at the sides of the helicopter. They must have been shooting at the ice to make it more unstable. Chase watched as one of Cayn's henchman peered over the side of the helicopter before dropping something. A grenade!
"Shit!" Chase looked down. There was no time for him to get Adam and Bree and he will not make it to them in time thanks to the breaking ice.
"Chase? What is it?" Adam asked, feeling worried. It was rare to see Chase look so frantic in front of them. "Is it Mr Davenport?"
Chase looked at them, holding out his hands, his eyes focused and determined. All of a sudden, a force field appeared around them.
"Chase?" Adam pressed his palms against the force field, staring at his brother who was outside of it.
"Chase, what's going on?" Bree shouted, banging on the force field.
Both of them watched, stunned, as Chase smiled. It was different from his usual condescending smirk or his evil smile or his gleeful smile. It was a smile full of something they were afraid to decipher.
"Thank you." They watched him mouth the words as the place exploded.
