Leo and Harper exchanged concerned glances as they leaned back in their swivel chairs, trying to process everything that was happening.

Meanwhile, Adam, Bree and Chase charged towards Douglas, who held an illuminating device. In the blink of an eye, the bionic siblings vanished, only to reappear inside a cage with Mr. Davenport and Lyla. The sudden disappearance left Leo and Harper in stunned silence as they stared at the screen.

"You mastered short-range teleportation before I did? I've been working on that for years!" Mr. Davenport exclaimed, clenching his fist in frustration.

Douglas smirked and waved the device in the air. "I know. I'm awesome."

"You're still going down." Adam said firmly. He lunged forward but then halted. "My super strength. It's gone."

Bree stepped forward, a confused look on her face. "So is my speed."

"I've got nothing." Chase said, his hand touching his temple.

Douglas grinned maliciously. "That's because I've designed the lasers to block the signals from your bionic chips. That's right, daddy gave you toys, but he can also take them away."

Harper's stomach churned as she watched the bionic siblings, now stripped of their abilities, trapped in the cage.

"They're trapped." She said quietly, rising from her chair in frustration. "What are we going to do?"

"Well, if I know you two, I'm sure it'll involve a sad little plan and an epic fail. Good luck." Eddy responded nonchalantly from the monitor.

Leo paced around the Lab, a sense of urgency growing in his movements. "All right, if we go to the authorities, we'll blow their bionic secret. We're just gonna gave to go there and rescue them ourselves."

"Leo, we won't stand a chance against Marcus's bionics if we go there empty handed." Harper pointed out.

"You're not going to." Eddy told them.

Leo and Harper both turned back to Eddy, confusion clouding their faces. "What?"

"Donald told me that in a worst case scenario, someone has to push this button." Eddy informed seriously. On the monitor, a red button appeared, glowing ominously. "And you two being the only ones left is the worst case scenario."

Harper rolled her eyes and pressed the button on the screen. A hologram of Mr. Davenport suddenly flickered into existence in the middle of the Lab. It was an odd, almost surreal sight—Mr. Davenport in a heroic pose, smiling off into the distance as if he were some kind of comic book character.

"Whoa. It's a hologram." Leo exclaimed, his eyes wide as he stared at the figure of Mr. Davenport projected in front of them.

"Adam, Bree, Chase if you're watching this, something terrible has happened." Mr. Davenport began. Leo absentmindedly waved his hand through the blue holographic image. It passed through like mist, and Harper followed his lead. As her hand made contact, a strange tingling sensation surged through her fingertips. "It's time for you to become the heroes you were always meant to be. And whatever it is you're about to face, I know you can handle it without me."
