AN – So I recently got into Lab Rats. Before I only watched like, one episode and that was in season 1, but I started watching it again when it came up on TV and really got into it and Chase quickly became my favorite character. I especially love the father/son relationship between Chase and Donald Davenport, so I thought I would right some more scenes with them from episodes from the show, kinda like missing father/son scenes. This one is for the episode Avalanche. This is my first Lab Rats fanfiction, hope you guys like it. Please review and

Enjoy!

Chase sat alone at the island in the kitchen, a half empty cup of milk in front of him. It was well past midnight, he should've been asleep like the rest of his family, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't sleep. The dark lab, illuminated only by the blue light of the capsules reminded him far too much of being trapped in the snow for three hours.

He really hoped he wasn't getting claustrophobic because of it. When he had been trapped in his capsule a couple of months ago when he and Mr. Davenport had tried to trick Adam into rejoining the team, it took over two weeks before he could sleep peacefully in the glass tube again.

"Chase, what are you doing up?" Chase looked up in surprise, seeing Mr. Davenport coming into the kitchen. He didn't even hear him come down the stairs.

"Just getting something to drink. What about you?" Chase asked, picking up his cup and taking a sip, trying to make his answer more believable. After risking his life to prove that he was just as capable on mission as his older brother and sister were, the last thing he needed was the inventor to find out that he was having trouble sleeping, or what else was really on his mind.

"Well, I tried to sleep, but those citanium samples are calling my name. Thought I would get an early start." Mr. Davenport informed the youngest bionic as he started making a pot of coffee.

Chase nodded but didn't say anything. It didn't surprise him one bit that Mr. Davenport would want to work. Whenever he started working on a new invention, one he was sure would make him money, it was the only thing on his mind. It would take something big to distract him from making money, and Chase's problems weren't big enough, so he didn't bother.

Mr. Davenport looked back over at Chase when the teenager didn't say anything. Chase had his head lowered, staring intently at his cup, completely lost in thought. He had been pretty quiet all afternoon and evening, ever since they froze Douglas and shipped him off to one of his facilities. It was then Donald remembered that he still hadn't talked to the young bionic about what he did, guess now was as good a time as any.

"You know Chase, what you did today was really stupid. Going off on your own like that." Donald said as he poured himself a cup of the just made coffee.

"I know." Chase mumbled quietly, lowering his head even further. He really didn't want to talk about this right now, or ever.

"I mean, you could've been hurt, or killed and, wait what?" The millionaire stopped when he realized what Chase had said. His voice was so quiet that he barely heard him.

"I know what I did was stupid." The teenager acknowledged, a little louder so that he was sure the older man heard him. Donald, with his mug in hand, walked over to stand on the other side of the island so he could look directly at Chase.

"Then why did you do it?" The inventor asked, his voice quieting down too.

"Well, I didn't think it was stupid at the time, but three hours trapped in the snow gives a person a lot of time to think." Chase tried to joke, risking a glance up at his 'father'. When he saw the worried and curious look on his face however, he lowered his eyes to his cup once again.

"Chase, what all happened out there?" Mr. Davenport questioned once again, his tone a lot softer this time.

"Douglas saved me. Told me that if I joined him, he could give me more abilities, that he could make me strong and fast like Bree and Adam and even more. I pretended to go along with it so that we could trap him." Chase informed him, trying to sound as casual as possible in the hopes that Mr. Davenport would stop pushing, but no such luck.

"Why do I feel like there's more going on that you aren't telling me, if it was as simple as that?" Donald asked seriously after being silent for a minute.

He was surprised that Douglas could actually do something like that on the kid's chip, but was furious that his brother would try and bribe the youngest bionic like that. He knew that Chase had been feeling left out since he wasn't as strong or fast like his siblings, making him unable to do as much as the other two on missions. That was the main reason why Chase had gone out on his own, to prove that he could still get the job done, but Donald was furious that his brother would try to exploit that desire.

"Well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted." Chase confessed almost shamefully, lowering his eyes even more to stare straight down at his lap.

"I don't blame you. What made you decide not to?" The black-haired man wondered.

"One, he's a crazy villain who wants to make weapons out of us. Two, if I did, then I could do any and every mission by myself. I didn't want to. And, I didn't want Adam and Bree to feel useless on missions. People are different for a reason Mr. Davenport. If everyone was the same, then there would be no individuality." Chase explained, lifting his head up a little but still not looking at Mr. Davenport.

"Chase, you know you aren't useless, right?" Donald asked as his son's words fully sank in. When the teenager didn't respond, he had his answer. Leaving his cup of coffee, Donald went around the island to stand right by Chase's chair and place both of his hands on his shoulders, turning him around to face him.

"Look at me Chase." When he still didn't meet Donald's eyes, the inventor moved his right hand and placed it under Chase's chin and titled his head up, forcing the dark blonde to look at him, revealing that Chase was struggling not to cry.

"You guys basically said I was, that you only need speed and strength." Chase reminded him, still trying to avoid the older man's gaze. Shame colored his face as he heard how choked up his voice was. Mr. Davenport should not be seeing him cry, he was the team leader, he shouldn't be acting so weak.

Mr. Davenport felt his heart break when he heard his son's words. He had never really thought about how it must've sounded to him when he, along with Adam and Bree had given him no credit, had practically said he wasn't even needed. When Donald realized that Chase had gone on the mission by himself even though he was told not too, he knew that it was because he was trying to prove himself, but he never knew that Chase had taken their words so close to heart. Without thinking twice, Donald pulled the kid into his arms.

"I'm sorry Chase. I'm so sorry." Chase heard Mr. Davenport whisper in his ear as he wrapped his own arms around his father.

"I know, it's okay." Chase tried to assure him, but Mr. Davenport suddenly pulled back saying, "No, it's not."

After taking a quick breath, Donald looked him right in the eye and said, "You are not worthless Chase. And I'm so sorry that I made you feel that way. You're right. People are different for a reason, and you've proven how valuable you are over and over again. Even if you weren't bionic, you could never be worthless to me. You're my son Chase."

No longer able to hold the tears back, Chase let them fall as he nodded. When his father saw the tears falling freely, he pulled him back into another hug which Chase again returned, burying his face into the man's shoulder.

"I love you Chase." Donald told him, holding the teenager tightly in his arms.

"I love you too Dad." Chase replied, voice slightly muffled since his head was against his father's shoulder, but it made Donald's heart swell. Though he knew the kids considered him their father, and he considered them his kids, there hadn't been many times when they had actually called him 'Dad'. They hadn't done regularly since they were children. Donald didn't realize how much he'd missed it.

Neither of them were sure how long they hugged each other, but Chase ultimately pulled away, wiping away the leftover tears on his face with his arm as he realized what just happened. He let his walls down, let his trainer/father see him cry. When he became the team leader, he promised himself he would never let Mr. Davenport see him weak, and now he did.

Donald easily caught the embarrassed expression on the teenager's face, even though he had nothing to be embarrassed about. Being team leader had given his son the idea that he could never be weak, could never have any problems and usually, he had done such a good job of hiding his struggles that sometimes he forgot Chase was still a kid, and the youngest of the team.

Still wanting to be there for his son, yet knowing that Chase was now putting his walls back up, Donald asked, "You want to help me with the Cryoblaster?"

"Yeah, sure." Chase quickly agreed, eager to move on from what just happened. Donald threw his arm around his son's shoulders and pulled him close as they walked towards the elevator to take them down to the lab.

Donald knew that Chase would probably deny what just happened, but he hoped that his youngest son got the message that he was trying to show. That he didn't need strength or speed, that he was special just the way he was. To be sure of that though, Donald made a mental note to make sure to find a way to prove it the Chase. He might be their trainer and be the one in charge of the team, but he was still their father, and that was job was more important than any.

AN - I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, I sure enjoyed writing it. I am planning on writing at least four more. One for Lab Rats vs Mighty Med, one for Bionic Action Hero, one for Lab Rats Elite Force: The Attack, and one for when Adam, Bree, and Chase were little kids. I know that that has been done a lot, but I still kinda want to do it. If you guys have any other suggestions or episodes you think could use some more father/son scenes or father/daughter scenes, just let me know. I'm not limited to only Chase and Mr. Davenport. See you guys soon!
