CloudstarofShadowclan- So people don't ignore my titles I make up! Good to know! XD. I know, I'm just loving the sub conscious Tony. In dreams, and now out of them too! XD. I have too much fun with that. ;). Oh and also, I love cats!
AkaiMurasaki- I love reading your review out loud! It is just awesome to read! XD I'm weird… I know. Glad you love it! I'm with you on the fluff. Nothing is better than a big match of it!
Stickybunz- I think I did this pretty quickly…. I guess… XD. Keep in mind I'm getting busy now! And that the typing of this chapter only took 2 days! Anyway, I did not copy off of an episode though, so much as got the idea. In the episode, Operation: Pet peeved, Lee mentions a few of the pets Tony had in the past and one of them was a cat that had to do with Marc. And the cat attacking him. Poor Marc! But I had to make a story on what happened y'know? :3
An amazing spy fan- Thank you so much! I'm so happy you are loving this story. I really try hard to make this story as great as possible. I also got some inspiration after the fact The amazing spiez season 2 started airing. Finally! Yes, I am a fan of the show. It's awesome! Truly awesome! The show is anyways. ;)

XoXBloodyAliceT.T: I know I took awhile… Sorry!
Alright you awesome readers and reviewers, please enjoy this chapter. Not sure how this one turned out so… you'll have to be judge on that. (Wow, this authors note alone is 400+ characters… Sad)
Somewhere… (Narrator)
"I can't believe it! I was beaten by that runt of a spy! How could I get so cocky!" A female voice snarled out into the darkness.
"Peace dear sister. We'll have our revenge soon enough and you'll get your target soon enough." A male voice replied.
The female smirked at her sister. "I guess you're right. And it is also nice that we don't have that runt genius anymore. He is no use anymore anyway, seeing as we have all of the technology we need from him and that he failed the one task we gave him non invention related."
"That's true. And good thing we told him nothing that the Whoop agents could use against us." She smiled. "Not like those losers know where there precious little runt spy is if they know were after him."
The male smiled.
"Quiet right."
"I have an idea…" The women walked over to a dark corner of a room and let her fingers fall on the keyboard.
"I hope Tony enjoys my little gift to him." She stated, smiling. "That brat could have made it a lot less painful, but now he's forcing my friends to take care of it and bring him to me, alive of course."
The male narrowed his eyes. "You don't mean..." His voice trailed off.
"But of course!" The women exclaimed.
The male gave an evil smile. "Perfect." He turned away. "Now, if you need me, I figure it's time I go retrieve me target. Right?"
"Yes… just let me finish sending the... gift." The women stated, pressing on last button then walking back to her brother.
Marc's POV
"So are we going to land again in the Portland like we did back at our airport like we own the place?" I ask.
Lee just nodded. "That's the plan bro!"
At any other time, Lee would have smirked or smiled at me or something that was just a Lee action, but all three of us are unusually quiet. Ever since we figured out our little brother was in deep trouble, we've all been abnormally serious. Megan, normally much more talkative, was completely silent. Lee, normally much more of show-off, was showing pure consternation. It was shocking how much personalities changed when your sibling ran away, and how much more they changed when that runaway sibling's life was in danger.
"But we don't have an empty airport like last time." Megan reminded. "It might just be best if we jump out of the plane near the airport, change into normal clothes, and then walk."
Lee sighed. "Fine."
I sighted quietly, still beyond worried for my brother, then I felt a buzzing in my pocket. I took out my MPcom and pressed the button to turn it on. It was the boss man, Jerry, shocker.
"Hello spies. I have a mission for you." Jerry stated.
"What?" My siblings and I all exclaimed at once in anger.
My siblings rushed over to my chair and glared at Jerry through the MPcom.
"Tony is out there and we have to do a mission?" Lee snarled.
"What if Tony is danger and the longer we take the more he is tortured!" Megan cried.
As soon as Megan said that, images of my brother being tortured and hurt flashed in my mind. My eyes began to shadow in horror at the thought, a slight shiver traveled through my body.
"I know. But you all know that you have to protect whoop with your lives. I'm sorry." He apologized.
"But-" Megan stated only to be cut off.
"You are not getting out of it, you already know your dut-" Jerry informed.
But I cut him off. "Shut up!" I snapped. "Who cares about our job, which cares about any of that? Our little brother, one of your spies is out there, and you could care less!"
"Marc…" Jerry muttered, shocked.
"Don't "Marc" me." I snarled, fury laced my voice. "I don't care what you say, no matter what, Tony is our first priority! And he should be to you, but you're acting like you don't even care!"
There was silence for a moment, and as I stared at Jerry, I could hear Tony's voice ringing in my ears.
Jerry is not to blame. No one is, stop getting mad at yourself and others, it won't solve anything.
Those words calmed me down mostly and left me just with fear for my little brother.
Finally Jerry spoke. "I do care one of my spies is missing." He stated quietly. "I truly do, and I want you guys to save him."
"Then…" Lee spoke up, glancing at me as if to make sure I would not start snapping again. I've got to admit, snapping and yelling at other people in anger is totally out of character for me. "Why are you sending us on a mission?"
"Cause the mission location is very close to the Portland, Oregon airport." He stated. "Apparently, neighbors around the house heard mysterious gun shots and screaming, we got out of it they were laser shots, so this is a whoop mission. We need you to go and check out for clues and for anyone people."
A sudden wave of fear hit me. What if Tony had been involved? I banished the thought quickly, that was ridiculous, what were the odds of that?
"Okay." Megan agreed, as if she had sensed the mood of the plane had calmed. She glanced at Lee and I for a nod to agree to the mission. Lee nodded with a frown. I had no choice but to nod.
Megan nodded back at us and turned back to the MPcom. "Were on our way." She stated.
Megan's POV
Marc is really starting to worry me. He's yelling at us, others, and he just seems so out of character… I'm really starting to worry about him.
Yet I still the know the reason, I mean, it is the same thing with all of us. It been hitting us all very hard. I guess until now, I never really thought about. But there was on main thing affecting all us. My siblings and I anyway.
Tony.
I still could not understand why Tony would just leave. I could seriously not think of anything!
I know Marc tried to explain it to us one time, but I still did not understand it, and between my other siblings, not counting Marc, I was the smartest!
"Megan!"
I snapped my head up and found Lee and Marc looking at me confused.
"You coming?" Lee asked.
I titled my head to one side then I realized we were here; we were at the place for the mission. Hopefully this won't take long. I thought, getting up and following my brothers out of the plane. I glanced at Marc, who was currently walking beside me, I flinched at his gaze.
His normally intelligent gaze was dull and lifeless; his face was a constant mixture of anger and worry. I could not blame him for missing T, but why would he seem worse than Lee and I? Sure I'm sure Lee was upset by this and I knew for sure I was, but Marc just seemed… the most influenced by this whole ordeal. I was not sure why.
"Any idea what we are suppose to look for here?" Lee's voice shocked me out of my thoughts. Wow, I have been out of it haven't I? I did not even notice that we had jumped out and arrived at the house.
I shook my head side to side to clear it and focused on the mission at hand. Yet, it was difficult, when one of your brothers was as silent and cold as a rock. Yep, that was Marc right now. A rock.
I risked a glance at my brother and flinched at what I saw.
Marc's gaze was cold and sorrow filled, his hair draped over his head, as much as it could, considering the length, and his features screamed that he was out of it and in deep worry.
Through it all though, I could tell what Marc was thinking, almost as if he was screaming it in my ear clearly. He's blaming himself… Megan thought with a frown.
All of a sudden, I heard a low moan come from inside one of the bedrooms.
Tony's POV
I hurried off the plane with a small sigh to myself. Man, this was getting lonely. Being on my own constantly. I really was starting to regret my choice in running away. Not a good idea. I dug my hands into my pockets and made my way outside of the airport and drew in a sharp breath of air and sighed. I was in more of a country side area. I frowned slightly. I had no idea where I was either. I must be by some sort of small town… I thought looking around.
If I'm going to find this small town, I'm going to have to be smart and on task. Focused… hey what's that! I padded over to what had caught my eye.
A soccer ball… I thought with a confused frown.
I pulled the soccer ball back to me and began juggling it with a smile, feeling more alive than I had in days. I mean, I know I had only runaway like 2 days ago, but the truth was, after the whole thing with my siblings wanting to get rid of me, I've been not very happy. Can you blame me though?
Did that really happen though? Is there something I'm missing? Some other factor I can't piece in?
I shook my head, I know what I heard, and until I get an explanation, I'm going to stick with that.
I continued to juggle the ball and found myself drifting off into another memory.
Flashback- Narrator
"Coming at you Megan!" Lee called, passing the ball to his sister.
Megan received the pass and pasted on to Marc. "Marc, your turn."
The four Clark siblings were currently passing a soccer ball around in their front yard, having a good time.
"Got it." Marc stated, proud of himself. He had never been one for sports or had been very good at them. This was major accomplishment for him.
"Good job bro! Maybe you'll be able to skip past Tony soon in skills." Lee stated, grinning.
"Hey! I'm not that bad!" Tony cried.
"Neither am I!" Marc pouted. "What gives you the right anyway to say if any of us are bad anyway?"
"Well I am the best at sports-"
"At basketball!" Marc corrected.
"At sports in general! Just wait, when I'm older, I will be a professional basket ball player." The 8 year old stated grinning.
Marc smirked. "Right… you do know the odds of that ever happening right?"
"No matter the odds it will be me as a basketball player!" Lee stated, grinning.
"Then tell me the odds."
"I don't know."
"If you don't know the odds of that do you know the odds of anything in basketball? Basketball is a lot about science and math and-"
"Marc?" Lee cut his know-it-all brother off.
"Yeah?" Marc asked.
"Shut up."
Tony giggled quietly to himself but it was clear Lee caught it because he started glaring at his youngest sibling.
"Tony, you shouldn't even be talking, considering you can't even get the ball!" Lee smirked.
It was Tony's turn to pout. "I'm not that bad."
"Yeah you are." Megan stated, crossing her arms and smirking at her little brother.
Tony clenched his small hands. "No I'm not!"
Lee smirked. "You're nothing more than a small fry, T."
Marc frowned slightly. "Guys, lay off."
Lee grinned and stole the ball from Marc. "Stop talking dude."
Tony scowled angrily. "Pass the ball to me!"
Lee rolled his eyes. "Fine, you won't get it though. Get out of the way Megan and Marc."
Megan got out of the way without a word while Tony got in position. Marc hesitated a minute before walking over to his younger brother with a worried yet encouraging face.
"You can do it Tony. I know you can." Marc whispered before walking over to Megan.
Tony watched Marc walk away with a small smile of confidence before glaring back at his eldest brother.
Lee meet the gaze of his little brother and took a few steps back. "This is going to be a strong pass dude. You won't ever get this ball!" Lee declared.
"Says you!" Tony stated determinedly, remembering Marc's words.
Marc smiled slightly then heard a noise that made his stomach drop slightly. The sound of an approaching car. No! What if Tony misses… oh who am I kidding? When Tony misses the ball he will go after the ball as it rolls into the street, ignoring the car and maybe getting hurt!
"Uh… let's wait a second for the ca-" Marc stated but broke off as Lee shot the ball at Tony. Marc's stomach dropped further and his eyes grew with horror even more.
"Tony stop! Don't go after it c-" Marc started before being cut off.
"I got it Marc! Don't worry!" Tony called as he focused.
Lee flicked a glare at Marc. "Shut up Marc!"
I scowled in frustration and finally managed to say what I wanted to say. "Car!"
Megan gave her brother a weird look. "What are you talking-" She broke off as she saw the car. "Oh no… Tony!"
Lee must have spotted the car because suddenly, he began feverishly calling to Tony. "Let the ball go Tony!"
Tony shook his head, unaware of the car he took a few steps back and let his mind focus on the ball. He felt slightly scared at first then he heard Marc's words pour into his ear. You can do it Tony…
Tony received the ball at his feet as it came rolling straight at him. He stopped it and passed it back, a smile across his face as the car roared past.
Tony's siblings were amazed at their little brother and gave him a few words of congratulations before slowly being pulled into passing the ball. Tony was now easily receiving and passing the ball all the time, almost like a pro.
While passing, the two youngest Clarks exchanged a quick glance. Tony gave a smile to his brother that said it all.
Thank you…
End of Flashback- Tony's POV
Marc really happened back then. Wonder what would have happened if Marc has just stood beside Megan and never gave me words of encouragement. Would I be as good of a soccer player as I am now? I frowned slightly at the thought before angrily kicking the ball away.
It does not matter though now! Marc betrayed me! They all betrayed me!
Not they did not! There has to be another explanation!
Then explain-
My own thoughts got cut off as weight slammed into me and I was pinned down and dragged away by what felt like teeth. I had no idea what was going on and my vision was blurred due to the fact my head was just slammed on the pavement not too long ago.
When the dragging finally stopped I found myself face to face with a yellowed eyed creature with many more of its kind backing it up.
It's…
