Adam:

Adam takes a step back in surprise as you lash out at your temporary opponent, Chase - well - Spike.

"Douglas, what did you do?!" Bree whirls on Douglas as Spike and your alter ego, Razor, go at it.

Douglas shrugs innocently as he monitors the fight, checking his tablet every so often. "I need to make sure that after Spike lashes out, he gets shut down right after. You know how Spike gets even after a fight, he stays!" Douglas glances up at Spike and Razor before tapping on his screen. "You all know that, this will determine how long he stays after his..." Douglas waves his hand in the air, "you know!"

"But why is my girlfriend, Razor?" Adam turns his body to address Douglas.

"Because she volunteered to the task of fighting Spike and subduing him, and the only way she can do that is being Razor." Douglas looks up from his tablet to look at Adam, giggling. "She's great, isn't she?"

"You turned her into a beast!" Bree exclaims.

Leo tilts his head in consideration. "I think she's pretty awesome."

Adam gnaws on his bottom lip as Razor puts Spike in a head lock, and once they both calm down, Adam can pinpoint the moment you and Chase return to yourselves.

You release Chase as the students surrounding the training area clap. Douglas supports a wide grin as he helps you both up to your feet. "Well done!"

Adam strides across the room to check on you, and you smile as you grasp his hands in yours. "I'm all right, Adam."

"I was worried," he confesses. "Is this gonna be permanent?"

You shake your head. "No, this was just temporary. I was doing it to help Douglas and Chase."

Adam places a kiss on your forehead. "Okay. I just want you safe, that's all."

You smile at him. "I will be."

Bree:

"Why does my girlfriend have a commando app?!"

Douglas and Mr. Davenport shrink away from the monitors, wincing at her tone of voice that booms through their earpieces.

"Bree-"

Bree holds up her hand at you, silencing you from speaking anymore as she presses her earpiece to speak to her father and uncle. "Mr. Davenport, you're supposed to be the responsible one, so please explain to me why my girlfriend has a commando app?"

"Because she wanted one, and also because it would be safer for not only her, but for the rest of you."

"But Chase already has one," she points out.

"You know how Spike is, he can't be controlled."

Chase exclaims in offense, "Hey!"

"Like the Hulk." Leo smiles.

"Listen kid," Douglas tells Bree. "Her alter ego is much safer to be around, and if Spike ever makes an apperance, Pepper can handle him."

Bree balks. "Pepper?"

"She's motherly, but she also has some..." Bree shoots you a deadly look, causing you to falter a bit. You finish, mumbling, "Spice to her."

Bree rolls her eyes so hard that you think her eyes might stay stuck at the back of her head. "I will murder everyone and then kill myself."

"Okay," you say, now tired of Bree's nonsense. "Why are you so against me having a commando app?"

"Because I want you safe!" She shouts. "If anything happens and Pepper malfunctions, I could lose you forever!"

The van jolts and silence falls across everyone. Even your earpieces fall silent.

"Bree," you say softly, reassuringly. "Nothing will happen. If I'm able to contribute and help even more on missions, to help manage Spike, I will." You reach forward and place your hand on her knee. "I want you and everyone safe too. If I have the chance to do that, I will."

Bree reaches forward, lacing your fingers together. She releases a shaky breath. "Okay."

Your hand grounds her, and she knows that even if she may not like it, it was best for everyone.

Chase:

"What?!"

"Chase-"

"This is bull-"

"Chase!" You shout, catching his and everyone's attention. "This is what I want, and it's best for-"

"Don't even say it," Chase growls.

"Spike."

Chase groans and runs his hand through his hair, making it disheveled.

"Chase," you say, lowering your tone. "I need this. If I can keep Spike and you safe, as well as the team and students, I will."

Chase turns away from the large window in the Hydra-loop area to look at you. "Didn't you think, oh I don't know, to include me in the decision-making?"

"I knew you would say no," you tell him. "So I went ahead and did it anyway." He scrunches his nose a little as he thinks the situation over. You say, "Duckie can keep everyone safe."

Chase's eyes narrow into a squint. "Duckie?"

Douglas giggles into his hand as you speak, "Douglas thought it would be funny to name her Duckie. But as she came to be, it fit her well. She loves ducks and her loved ones. She refers everyone as her "ducklings." You can't help but smile at this. "She's actually sweet, but she becomes a baddie when she fights."

Chase's lips twitch at this, but it drops soon afterwards. "Wait, how is she sweet? I thought the commando app made the alter egos all brawn and no brains."

"That's the thing," Douglas says, stepping forward. "Donny and I were able to update and fix the commando app to make the alter egos actually have a personality. They're not all "brawns and no brains" anymore. We made them so that they can have both."

Leo lifts his index finger. "Like Professor-" Leo wheezes when Bree elbows his ribs.

"Do not make any pop culture references right now," she warns him.

"You think..."

Mr. Davenport shakes his head at Chase. "We haven't figured out a way to update your commando app yet."

Chase deflates a little as Douglas walks over and pats his shoulder reassuringly. "We're not giving up yet. In the mean time, Duckie is our best thing at the moment. She can balance out Spike, and that itself is amazing."

"Spuckie!" Leo shouts.

"What?" Bree gives him a puzzling look.

Leo's smile is wide and excited. "Their ship name! Spike and Duckie? Spuckie!"

As everyone talks to Leo about the ship name, you can't help but shoot Chase a smile. "It's gotta nice ring to it."

Leo:

Leo was in turmoil when he found out that you had the commando app. For one, you had never told him about it. Granted, it was long disabled long before he came into the picture, but to see your alter ego, Spunky, standing over him and growling at Chase was interesting, to say the least.

And Spunky was just so baffling. For one, she loved Leo. It shouldn't have been a surprise because you loved him, but to see that Spunky shared the same feelings as well was amazing. She had an attitude, but she had a personality that corresponded with yours so well that he was left in awe. Usually it was the opposite; Chase and Spike ran like oil and water as well as Kate and Spikette.

But you and Spunky? Like peanut butter and jelly.

"Leo?"

Leo looks up at you to see you gnawing at your bottom lip in worry. Leo scratches his head. "Hmm, honestly I think it's cool."

"Cool?" you ask.

"Yeah." Leo leans back in his chair. "I mean, Spunky is nothing like what I expected. She's not like Spike or Spikette, thank goodness. She has her own personality, and you two run like peanut butter and jelly. You two correspond well together."

"Really?" you ask, fingers twiddling together in anxiousness.

"Yes." Leo nods. He's more confident as he speaks, "Spike and Spikette are nothing but brawns. Granted Spikette has a motherly instinct, but she can be too much. Where Spunky is nothing like that. Even though both of you are different, you go well together, if that makes sense?"

You nod, a small hesitant smile forming on your lips. "Yeah. I was afraid she would lose control or accidently hurt someone, so I had her disabled."

Leo shakes his head. "Spunky is just fine the way she is." This makes you smile as he continues, "Douglas told me he actually activated it."

"I didn't even know. That sneaky bastard activated it when I wasn't paying attention. Once he figured out I had one, he made it his mission to do so." You rub the back of your neck, where the chip was located. "I was having a tough time dealing with the shifting abilities, and I could hardly deal with the commando app so I deactivated Spunky."

Leo nods in understanding as he reaches across the table to grip your hand in his. "I'll support you in whatever you want to do."

You smile, lifting his hand to place a kiss to it. "Thank you, Leo."

He smiles lovingly. "Of course."
