A/N: Hello again, Lab Rats fanfiction. I didn't plan on posting a fanfiction up today, but I guess I am. I thought I had emailed myself something I wanted, but I didn't, which didn't make me happy, and then I remembered this future Lab Rats fic I was working on and decided to post it up. I'm basically following all the episodes, most of them I will be getting from Kihonne. I don't find it worth the time and effort to watch all the episodes and write them out. I will still have what I want to happen in each episode. The original episodes are going to be a pain, but I'll deal with it when I get there. Also, I'm going to be extending some episodes, such as No Going Back, from one chapter to two. Be on the lookout.

Disclaimer – Lab Rats is owned by Chris Peterson, Bryan Moore and Disney XD. I make no claim to ownership; I'm just playing in the sandbox whilst I write out this story. I only own Future Leo's future, if even that.

Doing It Better – Prologue

Year: 2019

Leo Dooley shielded his face as a bookcase fell to the ground, which sent a pile of dust around the room. His only remaining friend, Douglas Davenport, shoved the bookcase to the side and pointed excitedly at something that Leo had not seen in ages: a time machine. Leo smiled, knowing he could finally travel back in time to help train the Lab Rats for their biggest mission yet: fighting Victor Krane.

Victor Krane was by far the Lab Rat's biggest threat. He had managed to master his bionics and use them in his plan to destroy the Lab Rats. He almost succeeded. He would have to if Leo had not convinced Douglas to kill Victor. For the past ten months, Leo and Douglas had formed a strong bond, and the two had talked about going back in time to prepare for the fight against Victor. Now, seeing the time machine that he helped invent with Douglas in front of him, Leo knew that it was finally going to happen.

And this time, he was going to do it better.

Leo walked over to the time machine, placing a hand on it in admiration. "Is it done?"

Douglas nodded proudly. "It's done."

Leo looked to last remaining Davenport. "Remind me the downsides to this?"

"Well, people say that you could destroy the fabric of the space-time continuum. However, I wouldn't worry about that too much. However, something could go wrong with the time machine and it might blow up."

"What!"

"Don't worry the chances are it probably won't happen. So, are you going to give it a chance? It's better you than me."

Leo thought it over. He could die while travelling back to save the Lab Rats, but he could save many lives, including the love of life that had tragically bled to death. With that in mind, Leo knew there was only one answer to that. "I'll do it."

"Good. Now read me those instructions."

Leo went over to Douglas's desk, which was covered with papers showing complicated problems, diagrams, and finally found the instructions. Leo read them to Douglas who started pressing buttons and charging the time machine up to its proper function. Leo then lay in the machine where Douglas connected wiring to Leo's body.

Right before Douglas could press enter, Leo turned his head towards Douglas. "Wait, I just thought of something. What am I supposed to do when I run into my old-self?"

"Theoretically, you won't have to. This time machine allows you to take control of any human's mind. Instead of having to meet up with Leo, you are actually going to be Leo. Does that make sense?"

"Totally!"

Douglas nodded. "All right. A few more things before you go: type in the date you want on that keyboard over there. Second, when you meet Marcus, get on his good side so we can hook up earlier. Third, if you can avoid it, don't tell this to anyone. And lastly, good luck. I hope to see you when you get back."

"You too!"

Leo typed in the date: September 13, 2012, the day before he met Adam, Bree, and Chase. "See you later, Dad."

"I'm not your dad!"

Leo heard a bang, drowning out Douglas's muttering, and then Leo felt movement. It was official. He was traveling back in time.

A/N – Okay, that concludes the first chapter. If you couldn't already tell, Leo's life is messed up. I mean, his only friend is Douglas. Not Tasha, not Eddy, not Donald, but Douglas. I guess that counts as a dystopian world. Updates will be sporadic. Peace!
