Every step Bree took, her breathing grew even more ragged, but that didn't stop the bionic girl. It couldn't stop her! She had to get to Kaz. She tried not to focus on the strong burning sensation that she swore was actual fire igniting in her lungs, or her rapid heartbeat that had to be beating about one hundred times a minute as she ran. Bree knew focusing on the agony she was feeling would only slow her down.

Bree honestly felt like she had never pushed her super speed this much before in her life. Chase had always warned Adam and her not max out their own abilities, but Bree was now to the point of just not caring. Yes, maybe she was pushing her super speed in a way that was entirely too dangerous.

However, her mind just kept 'gifting' her with horrific visuals of Kaz lying dead at the top of the Eiffel Tower, with Roman and Riker standing over his mangled form. She tried to blink away the terrifying images, shaking her head as she sped up even faster, but more just replaced them. Now their demonic, satisfied grins filled her vision, and that just made her legs run even faster…if that was even possible.

Bree knew that it was possible though. She knew that it was very possible, which was pretty much the main reason why she didn't listen to Chase's nagging voice inside her mind.

The loud voice telling her to slow the hell down.

The sad thing, however, was that because Bree knew what was possible, she also knew that what waspossible also came with negative repercussions. She knew that just because things might be possible, it didn't mean that you should be pushing the possible. She was pushing the possible for Kaz though. Bree was pushing the possible for a guy she barely knew, knowing very well what she had a strong risk of losing; her bionic chip.

It wasn't long before Bree started feeling all the symptoms. Those symptoms were being caused by her super-speed, slowly beginning to go erratically out of control by the minute. Suddenly, her feet lifted off the ground and she could no longer control her legs. The only limbs she could control were her arms.

Bree's legs were now controlling themselves, which was the disastrous effect of her bionic-chip malfunctioning. It didn't matter though. Bree knew that she would make it up to the Eiffel tower in time. She was on the last flight of stairs, her feet flying her up to the top of the Eiffel Tower where she knew Kaz was. The bionic-girl had tears rolling down her face because of how much agonizing pain she was in. Bree thought the tears were from the exhaustion she was feeling, but it turned out that it wasn't because of the exhaustion at all.

It was instead because of the scorching burn that was the indescribable feeling inside her neck. She realized something in thirty seconds after collapsing from ramming her whole body into the Eiffel Tower structure.

Bree realized that the burning sensation she was feeling in her neck came from the same result that happened in Giselle's Lab a year ago.

She had lost her bionics again.

''''

"BREE!"

Roman laughed in a low, callous voice at Kaz's strangled scream.

He tilted his head towards Riker. "We got the little princess right where we wanted her!" '

The two villains were standing on the steps of the Eiffel Tower, watching the chaotic scene in front of them with pleased grins. "I mean just look at her!" Roman sneered, pointing his finger at Bree. "She's an unconscious little weakling!"

When Bree had collapsed after crashing, Roman and Riker had watched Kaz pathetically check her for a pulse.

God, this superhero is quite literally the definition of retarded.

Roman and Riker had watched the superhero hover over Bree, crying out loudly as he desperately called out her name over and over again.

Kaz is even more stupid then I imagined.

Roman scoffed.

Of course the silly, gullible princess is still alive.

She just has no more bionics, you moron!

Riker pouted, "So, we're not gonna slaughter Kaz?" He stomped his feet in a childish manner, "He's right there though!"

Hearing what he thought was a high-pitched voice, Kaz took a hold of Bree's unconscious hand protectively, and looked behind him.

Roman shushed his brother. "Shut up, Riker." He whispered, snapping.

Roman grabbed his brother's wrist and pulled him behind him, out of Kaz's view. "Do you want Kaz to hear your loud mouth?"

''''

Kaz narrowed his eyes at the empty space behind him, growling. He let go of Bree's hand and stepped over her, concealing her body behind him.

"I hear you!" Kaz whispered in a deadly voice. "Did you do this to her?"

He was met with pure silence.

"Answer me!" Kaz let out an enraged roar. "Don't think I don't know this was you, Roman!"

Kaz was still met with only pure silence.

His lips twisted into a deadly sneer, "I swear to god when I find you, I'll crumble you like I would bread crumbs!" He promised in a cold, calm, low voice.

Then Kaz kicked the structure with unbridled anger swarming through him.

''''

"With what?" Roman grinned.

With how would Kaz crumble us?" He whispered to his brother, snickering. "Is he gonna crumble us with the super-strength that he doesn't even possess?" Roman finished off in a patronizing manner.

Riker could only smirk to himself. "Let's get out of here," He paused, sneering, "before we turn into those bread crumbs he promised us." Riker finished, mocking the already riled up Kaz.

''''

Well, maybe they wouldn't be mocking him if Kaz could actually come up with scary, non-goofy threats.

But really, "I'm gonna crumble you like I would bread crumbs."

Kaz, come on!

Just no!

Do yourself a favor and just…NO!

Let Chase handle the threats from now on.

Or anyone else.

Even Oliver.

But you making them...just no.

''''

Bree's eyes fluttered open, feeling a strong wind come upon her. She was freezing. Bree noticed it was pitch black outside, and she was up in the air somehow. It was obviously nighttime.

Her brunette hair kept slapping her in the face as the wind seemed to get stronger. "W…where…where am I?"

''''

A soft weak voice made Kaz's eyes widen.

Bree was awake.

Kaz held onto her thighs tighter, feeling her slipping off his back. "Bree, its Kaz." He whispered. "I'm flying you back to the penthouse."

Bree smiled against his back. "Kaz," She murmured, holding onto his neck tighter, "you're ok."

Kaz looked confused. "What are you talking abou—"

Bree interrupted him in a drowsy voice. "Did we get em'?"

Her question only caused Kaz to feel even more bewildered. "Get who?" Kaz whispered, feeling exhausted.

It had to be around 2:00 in the morning. Oh, and Kaz kept trying to not fall victim to the massive wind that kept smacking him in the face while he was flying. The stronger the wind got, as a result to the faster he flew, it seemed the more Kaz had to force himself to keep his eyes open.

"Roman and Riker?" She mumbled, answering him.

Her eyes closed again.

Bree was trying to keep her eyes open, but she felt so weak. She didn't know why though. The last thing she remembered was crashing into the Eiffel Tower. Then everything went black. She didn't even see Kaz. Bree couldn't remember that she wasn't bionic anymore either. She couldn't remember the excruciating feeling of her chip burning inside her, and Kaz didn't even know that it was possible for a bionic superhuman to lose their bionic abilities in the first place.

It was news that they would both unfortunately find out later. Kaz remembered feeling a type of steaming heat coming from the back of her neck when he was checking her, but he had no idea what the intense heat was coming from. And he definitely didn't know that he would be holding her in his arms for the next few nights, as she cried herself to sleep at the result of finding out some very depressing news from Mr. Davenport and Douglas.

Kaz shook his head, "Bree, why don't you go back to sleep ok?" He suggested in his softest voice. "We're going to be there in about ten minutes."

Bree didn't even hear him.

''''

It wasn't long before Kaz finally caught sight of the penthouse. He got ready to land, holding onto Bree's legs securely. Kaz slowly let his feet hit the ground, letting out a deep breath. He had to admit with a proud smile that his landing went a lot smoother now. After all, he had been flying for a few days now. Kaz only landed whenever he needed the bathroom or was hungry, which he had to admit the latter was at least every hour.

So yeah, Kaz definitely knew how to land correctly now.

Well, we're here. Now I should probably go and wake every—

Kaz was interrupted from his thoughts by Bree letting out a loud, high-pitched scream. "Ahhh!" She screamed, tossing and turn on his back.

"It hurts! Get it out!" She let out another terrified scream, grabbing the back of her neck. "Get it out!" She pleaded, her screams quickly turning into sobs.

Kaz was helpless.

"Bree…Bree what are you talking about?"

Kaz tried to ask her, but all she did was continue to sob, grabbing the back of her neck. "It…it hurts! Please…please get it out!" She whimpered, crying.

"GET WHAT OUT?" Kaz finally let out an overwhelmed scream himself.

He swung her off his back, dug the keys out of pocket, and unlocked the door.

Her high-pitched screams were now mixing with his own confused ones as he yelled out for Mr. Davenport. "Mr. Davenport, something is wrong!"

Kaz could only stand there helpless with Bree wrapped in his arms from behind, as she continued to wail in what he was now certain was some type of agonizing pain. Now she was slamming her neck into his chest, screaming even louder in what he pin-pointed as frustration now. It looked to Kaz as if she was trying to destroy something but…but that didn't make any sense.

Suddenly, loud footsteps were heard coming down the stairs, along with a boy shouting, "That's my sister!"

It was Chase!

Kaz watched Chase bolt over to his wailing sister.

He handed her to her brother.

"Bree…Bree, what's the matter?" Chase tried to speak calmly, but the sound of his sister screaming in agonizing pain was making his eyes water.

Bree tried to speak, but the pain was slowly becoming too much to bear. All she could pronounce while screaming was "Hurts, hurts, hurts."

It was almost like the sound of a broken record player.

And if Chase didn't see the way she grabbed her neck again, he would have been clueless.

Chase faltered. "Her…her chip." He breathed.

Kaz looked confused.

Then in a strong voice, Chase stated, "Kaz, knock her out!"

Kaz looked horrified. "What…what I'm not going to—"

"I said knock her out!" Chase demanded, roaring.

Startled, Kaz back-handed Bree upside the head.

Her head drooped down, and her screams immediately silenced.

Chase let out a relieved breath and laid his unconscious sister down on the couch.

He wiped his sweaty forehead.

"We…we don't have much time before she wakes up and feels everything again." Chase informed him in a choked voice. He looked up at Kaz, sighing. "You need to go wake up Oliver."

Kaz still had a horrified look on his face. "Why did you make me hit Bree?"

It was Kaz's turn to demand answers now. Kaz wasn't about to do anything Chase said until he got some freaking answers! What happened?

Chase lowered his head, swallowing, "It was the only way I could think of to stop her pain fast enough."

Kaz still was confused. "What are you talking—"

Chase abruptly lifted his head.

Pain was clouding his eyes, as he snapped, "He bionic-chip is ruined, Kaz!"

Kaz's eyes widened.

He was about to open his mouth, but Chase interrupted him again. "The pain my sister was feeling is coming from the burning of her chip alright!"

This time Chase let Kaz speak. "Does that mean that she's not…bionic anymore?" He asked in a bewildered voice, still not quite understanding how difficult the situation was. "I don't understand."

Chase bit his lip, "Bree…Bree may never be bionic again." He finally elaborated.

"O…Oh." Kaz breathed in shock.

"No." He then whispered.

Chase shook his head, taking a seat next to his sister on the armchair. "I…I mean maybe we can recreate the chip but," He paused, swallowing the huge lump beginning to form in his throat, "but there's no telling how long that chip was burning inside her." His voice sounded so shaken. "If…if the chip was inside her neck to long then…then there's no telling how damaged her nerves are either."

Chase felt a tear leak out of his eye. "If her nerves are damaged enough, then her chip won't ever function normally again." He finished.

Chase looked at Kaz with a serious face. "She'll be removed from the team!"

Kaz stood up angrily, "No! You can't do that, Chase!"

Chase retorted back, hissing. "I can't risk my sister's safety, Kaz!"

He pushed Kaz, growling, "Roman and Riker are dangerous enough as it is. What do you think will happen if they find out she isn't bionic anymore?"

Kaz glared at Chase. "She'll be broken!"

He grit his teeth in frustration, "I can protect her from them, Chase!"

Chase felt another tear roll down his face, as he stared down at his unconscious sister, mumbling, "If only that was true."

That's a wrap for this story! I honestly don't have much to say. Lol. I hope you loved it though! Oh, and I hopefully will be making a sequel to this soon! Love you all! Thanks for reading!
