in Giselle's lab.

"What's wrong, Dad? No hug, no "Good to see you" Where's the love?" Marcus ask "Sorry again, I know this isn't the best time but, who is this guy!?" Harper says.

"Oh Come on Harper! stop playing dumb, it's Marcus...duh!" Adam says "Who's Marcus!?" Harper ask "What do you mean, you don't remember him!?" Adam says.

"Adam, she wasn't there!" Chase says "oh! Lucky for you, that time was tough!" Adam says.

"I am Douglas's Android son, That he left to die" Marcus says "Well that raised more questions than it answered" Harper says.

"How is this possible?" Douglas says "Yeah. We saw you get crushed under a mountain of rubble" Chase says "My cyborg sister wasn't enough to show you that mountains of rubble are useless!?" Harper says

"When I was making my "movie" Douglas couldn't stop bragging about his greatest creation ever, an android with bionic speed, strength, and intellect. I spent so much time trying to steal Chase's intelligence, I completely overlooked the fact that Marcus already had it. So I dug him up, and reassembled him, piece by piece" Giselle says.

"Oh, we should try that with Grandma Davenport" Adam says, Harper puts a hand on his shoulder comforting
him.

"Marcus' bionic intelligence gives him a photographic memory, which means he remembers everything from his past, and boy, does he have an ax to grind with you, Douglas" Giselle says "Me?! Why me? Leo was the one who hated you!" Douglas says "Me?! Oh, yeah, that's true" Leo says.

"When they attacked me, you ran away. You were my creator, and you left me to die" Marcus says "Well, to be fair, I didn't think you'd be coming back" Douglas says.

"All right, Marcus, I think it's time we finish you for good" Mr Davenport holds up weapon, Marcus casually flicks the weapons out of Douglas and Mr Davenport's hands.

"You don't stand a chance against us" Giselle says "I wouldn't be so sure, by the way try to use a more discreet signal next time!" Harper smirk

"You think you're very smart,but good luck, that won't be enough, I upgraded Marcus' technology, and made him more powerful than ever" Giselle says

"Well, he's gonna have to be more powerful, because there are five of us now. That's right, bushy brow. I'm bionic now, too" Leo says "Seriously?" Marcus says "It's just his little arm" Giselle says "And my little leg!" Leo says

"It doesn't matter how powerful you are. We took you out once, and we'll do it again. Get him!" Chase says, Marcus floats up in the air and blasts the five of them across the room with electricity.

Mr Davenport and Douglas run over to them "Guys!" Mr Davenport says "Nice work" Giselle says "Thanks, mom" Marcus says "Don't call me that. We're not there yet" Giselle says "'Kay." Marcus says.

......................................................................

in the dark room, Bob stares at Bree Unconscious "We'll start with Bree first. Never done mouth-to-mouth with a real mouth before. But here goes" Bob says "I'm okay! I'm okay" Bree says getting up quickly.

"Where are we?" Leo says xIn a dark room with metal walls. What is with you people? Open your eyes!" Bob says

"Wait. Where's Harper!?" Chase ask "and Daniel!?" Bree says.

"When they brought you guys in, they pulled him out. He's gotta be a goner by now. And Harper never came here probably because she must have gone too" Bob says "no" Chase says.

Giselle appears on the monitor "Well, now that everyone's here, we can finally get this party started. You're inside my induction chamber. When activated, it emits an electromagnetic wave so powerful, it'll melt your bionic chips right through your necks" Giselle says.

"She kills a party faster than Chase" Adam says "Once your chips are destroyed, we'll finally be rid of bionic humans, forcing the world to turn to my bionic androids" Giselle says

"If your androids are so much better than us, why do you have to destroy our chips at all?" Chase says "I don't. I just wanna watch you suffer a slow and painful death" Giselle says.

She presses a button and a flash of light occurs in the chamber, making all the students wince and cover their eyes "What was that?" Bree says "A flash. She's not just torturing us. She's taking pictures while she does it" Bob says.

......................................................................

In Giselle's lab, Mr Davenport and Douglas are tied up in two chairs back to back, Harper is tied to a table standing in the middle of the lab, unconscious, Giselle has connected a wire from a monitor, connected to her neck

Giselle starts laughing "Oh, good. Looks like the pain is starting to set in" Giselle says.

"You don't have to do this. We can make a deal. What do you like, leather jackets? I'll buy you as many as you want. Better yet, I can steal some from Harper or even one of mine can fit you" Douglas says.

"The only thing I want is watch your face as I melt their chips. Why don't I turn the volume up, so you can hear every last one of their screams" Giselle says.

Harper wakes up, she looks around "Why am I here, what do you want with me!?" Harper says pulling hard on her neck which releases the monitor wire.

"Oh I would love for you to be in
that room suffering with your friends, but when you intercepted my signal, I thought it was pretty impressive, you're a very valuable girl with an even more valuable chip." Giselle reconnects the cable and types something on the monitor.

"oh thank you I made it" Mr Davenport smiles "We made it" Douglas says "Shut it!" Harper says impatiently.

"So I needed access to your chip, your chip is unique and with your training and combat experience you would be a great leader for my androids" Giselle says

"you will never hack my chip, I encrypted the encryption that Douglas and Mr Davenport did, reconfigured codes so only I could control it, and configured it" Harper smirk

"Maybe I can't reconfigure anything, but I can add something, a thing or two" Giselle smiles she writes something on the monitor, Harper can't see the screen.

"Giselle! You're clearly acting out because we're no longer dating. It's okay. You can have me back. I mean, yeah, you're a psychopath, but I've dated worse" Douglas says.

"Douglas, how rude of me. Here I am, providing a show for your brother, and you don't get to see anything. Let's fix that. Bring him in, Marcus!" Giselle says, Marcus walks in leading Daniel

"Daniel!! Let him go!!" Harper says "Hey, get off me! Dad!" Daniel "Now you can both watch your kids as they beg for mercy" Giselle says.

"Get your hands off my son!" Douglas says "Your son? You mean like I was your son?" Marcus says "Yeah, we're all Douglas's kids, apparently that's not such a private thing!" Harper says "Daughter be quiet!" Douglas says.

"Wait, he's my brother?" Daniel says "Yeah, but not for long" Marcus says throws Daniel across the room "Marcus, please. Stop" Douglas says

"Are you kidding? I could do this all day, and I think I will" Marcus says "Not with me here!" Harper tells herself,she activates the laser boomerang and discreetly cuts the rope that holds her to the table.

......................................................................

Giselle leaves the lab behind Adam, Bree and Chase, Harper is already free, Marcus throws Daniel across the lab, Harper takes a deep breath and turns invisible.

"It must be sad to know you're not the strongest son, right?" Marcus laughs "I tell you the same!" Harper says, she

appears behind Marcus, she kicks him in the back, she uses the bionic skate to have more power in the kick.

Marcus loses his balance "In a few seconds you managed to make me very angry, congratulations!" Harper says she activates the laser boomerang to hit Marcus still unbalanced.

"I don't even know you girl!" Marcus says "You will!" Harper says,she raises her eyebrows like Marcus, just to make fun of him, Marcus makes an offended face, she uses eletrokinesis to shoot lightning at him.

"Go on Gril!" Douglas says "Yeah, I can't see anything but... I know a fight with Harper isn't pretty" Mr Davenport says "It's the most violent fight I've ever seen, I feel so proud!" Douglas says.

Marcus tries to protect himself with a force field, He pushes her, he creates a sphere of lightning in his hand and approaches.

"Wait! One question!" Harper stands up "uhg What?" Marcus rolls his eyes, Harper raises a hand towards Marcus.

"Marcus...why are you hitting yourself?" Harper asks with a slight smile "Uh? I'm not..." Marcusis interrupted by a slap he gave himself across the face, Harper laughs, she uses energy manipulation to control Marcus.

"what!?" Marcus says, he slaps himself again, Harper laughs "oh that's so childish but... I can't help it!" Harper laughs, He smacks himself again

"Stop it!!" Marcus angrily says "as you wish!" Harper starts to close her hand slowly, it starts to cause slight short circuits in Marcus, he feels pain

Daniel is on the ground next to Marcus, he takes advantage and kicks Daniel "no!" Harper says.

"Harper watch out!" Douglas says says, Marcus takes advantage of Harper's distraction and returns energy to her by throwing her against the wall

"latter princess! I have matters to attend to" Marcus says "Harper!" Daniel says, Marcus push him "no" Mr Davenport says seeing her.

Harper is half unconscious "Wait a second. Marcus is a bionic android" Mr Davenport says "Yes, Donnie. And you're a middle-aged man. It's nice to see you're keeping up" Douglas says.

"No. Daniel has power replication. If he can touch any bionic human and take on their ability, shouldn't he be able to do the same to Marcus?" Mr Davenport says "You're right" Douglas says.

"I think it's time to put you out of your misery" Marcus says "Marcus, stop. He had nothing to do with this. I'm the one who betrayed you. If you're gonna take anyone out, take me" Douglas says

"Uh, Douglas, you realize that if he takes you out, I'm tied to you, so he'll take me out too" Mr Davenport says "Yes" Douglas says, Marcus generates electricity in hand

"So long...Dad" Marcus says "Dad, please, don't let him do this" Daniel says "It's okay, Daniel. I created the problem so I should take the heat. You're a bionic human. You'd never stand a chance against a bionic android like Marcus" Douglas says.

"Not the face, not the face, not the face" Mr Davenport says "What I'm saying is, you're both bionic" Douglas says "Yes, we're both bionic!" Daniel says

Douglas make grunting and pointing gestures to Marcus,"Oh!" Daniel says,
Harper wake up "You're forgetting one thing. I'm more powerful than he'll ever be" Marcus says with hand generating energy.

"spoke too soon!" Harper says, she is still recovering, from afar she uses energy manipulation to disconnect Marcus' arm, he makes a confused face "uh?" Marcus says.

Daniel is crawling across floo he grabs Marcus' leg "What are you doing!?" Marcus ask "Ending our family reunion" Daniel says He forms his own ball of electricity.

Leo runs in and Daniel blasts Marcus to pieces, Harper gets up and starts heading towards Douglas.

"Oh, come on! I wanted to do that!" Leo says irritated, Harper unties Mr Davenport and Douglas.

"big D!" Leo hug Mr Davenport "Dad!" Daniel says "Dad!" Harper says more quietly at the same time

The two run to Douglas and hug him, Harper hugs his neck and Daniel his waist, Douglas is surprised, he looks at the two for a second, he smiles and hugs them both tightly, realizing that that is his family

"let's go! We have to get out of here!" Douglas says, Daniel and Harper look at each other and smile, Douglas lets them go and before leaving Harper messes up Daniel's hair smiling.

......................................................................

Adam, Bree, and Chase make disgusted looking at Giselle who is in pieces on the floor Mr Davenport, Douglas, Leo, Harper and Daniel run in.

"Guys, you're okay! Ooh! But she is not" Mr Davenport says "Uhg!! That's disgusting, and I hated her haircut, I missed the chance to say that!" Harper says with a disgusted face

"Come on, we have to find Marcus" Chase says "I already took care of him" Daniel says "Really?" Bree ask "Yep" Daniel says "Wow. Not bad for one day of training" Bree says

"Yeah, you should've seen my boy Daniel" Douglas says "He was awesome!" Harper says "Thanks" Daniel says

"Man, did you step up. Finally I can say I created a kid I'm proud of" Douglas says, Adam, Bree and Chase look at him irritated

"Ahem! Let's not forget the guy who freed the entire student body, not to mention saved the three of you" Leo says.

"Yeah, well, we should probably get going" Chase says he holds out his hand for Harper to take

"Right" Bree says "Let's go" Adam says "Hold it. Perry can handle things back at the academy, but if we're gonna find a fix for your melted chips, I need to take you back to the lab in Mission Creek" Mr Davenport says.

"Whoo-hoo, we're going home!" Adam says "Whoo!" Bree says, Adam, Bree, Chase, Harper, Leo, and Daniel leave the room.

"I'm proud of you, Douglas. You're gonna be a great dad" Mr Davenport says "Thanks, Donnie. And one day, I'm sure you will be, too" Douglas says.

......................................................................

In the lab at the Davenport mansion.

"Good news, guys. We can fix your bionics" Mr Davenport says "Really?"
Bree ask

"When we left Giselle's lab, I took some of her research. By combining her technology with ours, we'll be able to create one universal super chip that can adapt to any bionic operating system, which means you'll all get the upgrade" Douglas says

"That means we're no longer obsolete!" Bree says excitedly hugging Adam "Yes! We're back!" Chase says excited "Whoa, settle down. You were never that impressive to begin with" Adam says, Chase's smile fades.

"I can't believe you guys got to live down here. This place is so cool" Daniel looks around.

"Yeah, well, we were also force-fed food pellets that were shot out of a tube, so it wasn't exactly a fun factory" Bree says "This lab is where it all started, Daniel" Chase says.

He walks over to Harper and puts his arm around her.

"Well, technically it all started in a different lab, but your dad blew that one up" Leo says "I was going through a phase!" Douglas says.

Harper looks around and smiles "our first kiss was in this lab" Harper tells Chase "yeah, I asked you to date me in this lab too" Chase smiles at her.

"so all the worst decisions you ever made were in this lab!?" Adam ask, Harper shakes her head laughing and Chase looks at Adam irritably.

"No, they were all my best decisions!" Harper says turning Chase's face towards her, he smiles and they kiss lightly, smiling at each other.

Douglas is picking up parts from a box "Hey, what's in the box, Douglas?" Chase ask "Marcus" Douglas says.

"What? Why would you bring his parts here?" Leo ask "Ah, as evil as he was, he was still my creation. I felt kinda bad" Douglas says

"You shouldn't, get rid of that box, Douglas!! Now! I'm tired of having to deal with a new child of yours every day" Harper says "But if I can put him back together and reprogram him..""No!" Everyone interrupts Douglas

"Fine. But I'm making his eyebrow into a bracelet" Douglas says.

Tasha walks in "Hey, guys" Tasha says everyone greets her "I'm really glad that you're all here, because there's something that we've been wanting to tell you" Tasha hugs Mr Davenport.

"I'm pregnant" Tasha says, everyone smiles surprised, Leo runs over and hugs her.

"Whoo-hoo! Hear that, everybody? We're gonna have a bionic baby" Adam celebrates "Oh, no, you are not turning my baby girl into a bionic freak. And I mean freak in the nicest way possible" Tasha says.

"Wait a second. Did you say you're having a girl? Yes! I'm finally getting a sister!" Bree says.

"And who better than a sister to change half the diapers" Tasha says "Yeah, I'm over the whole sister thing" Bree says.

"You know what else? My little sister won't need bionics, because she'll
have me to protect her" Leo says "Oh, who are you kidding? We all know that baby is going to be protecting you" Mr Davenport says.

"Wow. All those years living down here, hiding our bionic secret, and look at us now. It's kinda crazy how life works, isn't it?" Chase says.

"Yeah, like, one day you're an waitress with a secret life as assassin chasing a family of bionic freaks and the next you're one of them. And the craziest thing is I've never been so happy,this
place was my first real home with a real family" Harper smiles

"You know, I actually kinda missed this place" Bree says.

"Me too. Know what I miss most about it?" Adam says "Here it comes" Harper says quietly pulling out of Chase's embrace.

"What?" Chase says "This" Adamhits Chase "You do realize that without our chips, you don't have super strength, and I'm just as strong as you, right?" Chase says "Uh, I do now" Adam says Chase and Adam run out of the room

"Come on, let's go upstairs and have ourselves a nice, big celebration dinner" Tasha says, Perry walks in "Sounds good, as long as you're not cooking" Perry says walking in.

"Perry, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be supervising the academy" Mr Davenport says.

"I got bored. Now that the students don't have bionics, they're just a bunch of lame-os Actually, the real reason I'm here is that I heard what happened to you guys, and I'm just happy you're okay" Perry says, Harper lightly nudges Perry with her foot "what's that!?" Perry ask.

"I'm just checking if you're yourself Terry, this is not normal for you!" Harper smirk "I'm glad you're alive girl" Perry smiles sincerely "and..I'm glad you care" Harper smiles at her back.

"aw I can't believe it. You do have a heart" Tasha says "Simmer down, Holly Homemaker. I was talking to them. You and I, still on the outs" Perry leaves the room.

"Okay, everybody, let's go upstairs and make your mother feel better about herself by eating her food" Mr Davenport says.

......................................................................

Later in the Lab.

Adam, Bree, Chase, Harper and Leo are preparing to return to the island, Mr Davenport enters the Lab.

"What's up, guys?" Mr Davenport says "Just heading back to the academy" Bree says picking up a bag.

"Oh, yeah, about that. Um, since the students all have the upgrade, there's no need to train them anymore. They're all at the expert level. So it's time to start breaking everybody up into teams" Mr Davenport says.

"Great. That means our team won't have to do all the work" Chase says "Actually, Chase, I'm breaking you guys up" Mr Davenport says.

"What?" Adam says "What do you mean, Big D? You can't just... can't just break us up" Leo says in an upset tone "and do we have a choice about that?" Harper ask.

"unfortunately no, I need your collaboration for this, I need at least two of you to go to the academy and oversee this transition, and I need the rest of you to stay here and work on a new project. A new team" Mr Davenport says.

"What new project?" Bree ask "Yeah. And what new team?" Chase ask "I can't give you all the details, but I need you to make a decision" Mr Davenport says.

"but this will change everything" Harper says upset "I know" Mr Davenport says calmly,everyone thinks, with a brief pouse.

"I'll stay at the academy" Adam says "Me too" Leo says,they look at others
