Chase paced around the room again. The room was small- maybe forty eight square feet. It didn't take him very long to pace, even going around Adam and Bree. Adam and Bree were still unconscious- the pinprick on the back of neck indicated they had been given some sort of drug on top of the electrocution.
Adam and Bree were sitting, in chains in the middle of the room. Bree's ankles were chained together, her wrists as well. There was a chain attaching her wrists to her ankles. Adam's wrists were chained to large black balls that sat on the floor. Adam's head was resting on Bree's shoulder and Chase watched fascinated as a droplet of drool left Adam's mouth, heading directly towards Bree's chest.
"Ewww." Bree's eyes fluttered open; she tried to move away from Adam, hindered by the chains, which made a clanging noise.
"What's going on, where are we?" Bree asked at exactly the same time Chase asked, "Bree! Are you okay?"
"We're definitely in a horror movie," Adam answered, opening his own eyes.
Chase opened his mouth to answer, considered Adam might actually be onto something and closed it, shrugging his shoulders. "Whatever it is, use your super strength to break those chains, and bust through one of these walls."
"Before breakfast? Jeez," Adam answered. He tried to pull on his bonds. Chase could see his muscles flexing, sweat was starting to dribble down Adam's neck onto his Davenport Laboratories sweatshirt.
"This is usually works," Adam said after several minutes, he sounded short of breath. "Might really need breakfast or perhaps a light snack."
"Can you use your heat vision to melt them?" Bree asked.
"Don't do that," Chase said, trying not to sigh in exasperation when Bree and Adam stared at him blankly. "Metal is a conductor." He couldn't stop the sigh when he continued to get blank stares. "If he heats up the metal- it will burn his skin."
"Ohhh, yeah," Bree said. She was fidgeting, trying to stand, but not having much luck. "Well, you're going to have to figure a way out of here. Funny they didn't find you dangerous enough to chain up."
Chase glared at her for a moment. "They underestimated me."
Adam snorted and laughed. "Yeah, right."
Chase crossed his arms. He was so glad they were awake- not that sniping at each other was going to get them anywhere. On the other hand, he hadn't figured out any way out of this room in the hour or so between when he'd woken up and they had. "Wait," he thought he heard something on the other side of the wall; he brushed his hand against ear, focusing on the sounds.
"You will tell me everything about these children and their bionic chips."
"They definitely know about us," Chase said.
Bree shook her head slightly. "What gave you the first clue, Einstein?"
"Shh," Chase shushed her, straining to hear the rest of the conversation. "Mr. Davenport is just on the other side of the wall."
The sound of a door sliding open assaulted Chase's hearing with a hiss. He shook his head and rubbed his ear, trying to key his super hearing back down to a more normal level. He stared at the open door, mouth hanging open a bit in disbelief. First of all, he should have seen a place for a door- hidden or not- with his enhanced vision. Secondly, the person slowly clapping in the door's opening was supposed to be sleeping in a block of ice, somewhere in Antarctica.
"You really are a genius, Chase," Douglas said derisively, smirking at all three of them.
