Sorry that I ended the last chapter on an abrupt note. Just a reminder that this is rated T-M for a reason.
Enjoy

No one moved a muscle. Spyder and Ryan stood at a stand-off, no one wanted to set one of them off. "Calm down?" Ryan spoke, instead of shouting like Spyder expected, Ryan's voice was dangerously slow. "You expect me to calm down?!" The nearby lightbulbs burst. Mark stepped forwards,
"maybe coming here was a bad idea." Spyder scoffed, still aware of his own teammates behind him,
"you think? There's a reason we don't like supes in our city!" He activated his override app then Ryan passed out. Mark caught him before the technopath hit the floor. "I'm going to be downstairs." He told his team, then walked into the hyper-lift to get to the command center.
After at least an hour later someone else came down the elevator so Spyder paused the training session. "Are you mad at us?" He turned around and saw Harris, smiling sadly he shook his head,
"no. In all honesty I never really was." Harris nodded then asked the inevitable,
"why did you leave?" Spyder sighed then logged onto the cyber-desk to search for criminal activity. A few minutes later he responded,
"It was only a matter of time." The scientist frowned,
"What are you talking about?" Spyder sighed then he said,
"Veracity." The girl in question frowned,
"What about me?" Spyder chuckled,
"Everything." He explained more in depth at his friend's confused looks, "look, she was everything I wasn't, by the time Harris was healed she was used to living our lifestyle and obviously didn't want to leave." Mark frowned,
"That didn't mean you had to." Spyder turned to the eldest Walker sibling,
"That's exactly what it meant. Veracity wasn't just there to push buttons and attack things. She had plans, back up plans, back up plans for her back up plans… I was dead weight, especially after I killed Leo." Veracity shook her head,
"You didn't kill Leo Spy." Spyder flinched when she used his old nickname, the new weapons pilot tried to reach out and comfort him, but Spyder backed away from her touch.
"Don't. We all know that if I didn't use the arm cannons and attacked that base then he would still be here." Harris stepped forwards,
"Was that why you left us?" He asked Spyder, who in turn nodded,
"Yes, it was." Mark started to chuckle, then it was full-blown laughter.
"That's stupid S, no offense, but why would you ever think that we blamed you for Leo's death?" Suddenly the crime alert alarms went off.
Activating the cyber-desk Spyder pulled up a map of the city then zoomed in onto the crime site. "4th Avenue and Billiard Street." Chase said looking over his shoulder, Spyder nodded then Bree said,
"Suit up." When the Mech team started to get ready for the fight Skylar scoffed,
"Please, we don't need you robot people. This is just a run of the mill crime alert, no need for the big guns." Kaz nodded as Chase and Bree returned with their suits,
"Just stay here and run coms or something." Chase commented,
"Don't touch anything." Harris rolled his eyes,
"Oh come on dog!" Spyder glared at him,
"Nothing." Harris nodded quickly then the Elite Force left their home base to the crime scene.
Once the Elite Force were outside of the building Harris started to mess with the cyber-desk. "Dude, we just got his trust back, do you honestly want to mess with that holo-thingy?" Mark asked the inventor as he skimmed through the files.
"Look, it's obvious something happened to Spyder in the six months we didn't have him. I want to find out what." Mark sighed, once the teen got set on something there was no changing his mind.
"Fine, just don't activate anything. I don't want to cause trouble." Harris nodded then after a few minutes of silence he said,
"Huh…" Mark looked up from his social media,
"What's up geek?" Harris enlarged the folder.
"This one is classified on all levels, it doesn't seem like any of the team could even hope to have access to it." Mark frowned,
"What do you think it is?" The defensive pilot shrugged,
"No clue." Then he turned back to the folder, "I'm gonna hack into it." Mark groaned in annoyance,
"Don't even try. Chase is the smartest man in the world if he doesn't know what's in it - "
" - I'm in." Mark rolled his eyes,
"Of course you are, what's on it?" Harris tried to access details, but they were all blocked.
"Here's one that's open…" After he tapped the holographic screen two words and blueprints to a robotic human appeared on the screen.
The only thing that Harris could make out was Project MARCUS.

Mwahahahaha! I'm evil! Anyways, what do you think will happen next? What do you think should happen next? Sorry if the formatting was weird, I copy and pasted from google docs. Also, I'm sorry this was so short.
