Just because plot bunnies are evil and I love you guys.

No one deserved a short life. No one deserved to be used as just a tool. As just a weapon. No one deserved to be treated as anything less than a person, just because they were a little different. No one deserved to suffer just because they "weren't alive".

It had taken a while. But it was going to be worth it. Even with their bad history, there was a fondness. Not a, I proved someone wrong fondness either. As much as their had been insults, threats of safety and some attempted murder, they were stillfamily. In a sick and twisted, tilt your head to the left and squint your eyes kind of way.

Placing delicate wires over titanium structure, he began to weave copper wired muscles on the surface. Small bionic machines were placed strategically within the copper wires to assist in the process. It took time. Each wire had to be placed just so, to keep him from falling apart once more. Two months he had been working. Gathering tools and hiding his project from everyone. They wouldn't let him. Everything was black and white to them. Good or bad. But technology, it was neither. It all depended on who was using it. Douglas was in the black, and now was in the white. Wasn't it fair to return the only person he ever had as a son to him?

It was that thought that kept Leo going, placing synthetic skin over the mechanical muscles. It wasn't easy, but bringing life wasn't supposed to be in the hands of man.

Gathering hair had been harder. He struck gold when Bree decided she need a trim and took off a few inches of her long brunette hair. It was interesting breaking the hair down and endusing it with the synthetic skin on his head. Carbon fibre hair strands on his head, even his eye brows. He hoped Bree didn't kill him for using her hair for an "experiment".

It had been two weeks after he created the ski. To get the hair. He would have used his own, but it was nothing like Marcus's wavy brown hair. His nails were also carbon fibre, more tightly sealed and using Leo's nails for the growth rate and DNA.

Each detail more daunting and tedious than the last. Each tooth, hand cut diamond (Big D still had no idea where his flashy diamond studed suit went) took a day each to craft, not including the ones that failed to cut. The looked a little odd in his mouth but seemed better after staining them white. At one point he debated using the same material they used to make dentures before deciding not to. They wouldn't be strong enough to survive a bionic being and would just be embarrassing. White diamonds were clearly the way to go.

"Test 1. Wait! No! No no no! Marcus no!"

"Test 36. Marcus. I'm Leo."

"Hello. I am Marcus. Your personal health care companion."

"Just turn off," Leo sighed.

"On a scale of 1 to 10, how do you rate your pain?"

"GAH!"

"Test 119." Leo yawned.

"Hey Leo. I'm going to crush you like a bug."

"Yeah yeah Captain Eyebrows."

"Test 167."

"Marcus?"

"Leo."

"You... You?"

"You crushed me under a rock and you ask me if I'm me. Pft. Wait a minute. When did your arm become bionic?"

"Yes! You work!"

"Would you just answer my question?"

Being one of the bionic people who couldn't geo-leap, he snuck Marcus onto the special tube from the island to the mainland. Leo didn't mind. He kept looking over Marcus to make sure he was working properly before he gave him back to Douglas. With each subtle glance Marcus seemed more irritated. Likewise, Marcus was staring blatantly at Leo. Mainly near his shoulder and head.

"Why are your bionics limited?"

"Excuse me? Leo asked.

It's in your right arm, your entire face and your right lung," he stated as if it were obvious. Leo blinked in confusion.

"Right. You weren't around for that. Well, long story short, ceiling fell on my arm, your dad saved it making my arm bionic and now it's spreading."

"Bionics don't spread," Marcus stated in a matter of fact voice.

"Yeah well they do. Everyone else has them everywhere. And I had them implanted in just my arm. Aren't I special?"

Marcus continued to stare, no doubt using his enhanced vision to really look at Leo's bionics. Leo didn't mind too much. Spike did it all the time. And Chase had recently tried to subtly check on the bionics too. Not that he was really subtle. Nor were the other bionic students who were all curious about the enigma yellow student. Most kept their distance, treating him like glass or a bomb. Afraid to break or be broken. No one knew what his bionics were going to lead to.

"Yes. Yes you are special," Marcus smirked. Leo stuck his tongue out childishly making Marcus chuckle. Their time to the main land was interrupted by an incoming phone call. Coming in on a large screen Chase's face appeared.

"Leo, you know you aren't supposed to leave the island without telling anyone," Chase began to reprimand.

"Calm down brainiac. He can take care of himself," Marcus butted in. Leo paled slightly.

"Marcus?!" Chase squeaked comically, "Leo?! Marcus?! What is going on here?"

"Just taking a trip to the mainland," Marcus said vaguely before Leo could say anything. Chase stammered somewhat comically until his eyes sparked blue. He grew quiet for a moment u til a rich baritone voice slipped out between his lips.

"Ten minutes. That's how long it'll take me to get to the main land and kick your android ass."

"Aw, someone jealous? Not the favorite anymore?" Marcus mocked.

"Enough! Both of you," Leo interjected. Both teens looked at Leo.

"Spike, I rebuilt Marcus. He's fine. Not evil. I'm taking him back to Douglas. Marcus, this is Spike, Chase's... More chaotic side. Don't aggrivate him," Leo pleaded. Both teens huffed, glaring at one another grudgingly agreed.

"I'm watching you tin can," Spike threatened, cutting the connection. Marcus rolled his eyes.

"We almost there? I don't think I want to argue with bolts for brains Chase again."

"One, that was Spike. Two, you have bolts for brains."

"I have chips."

"And bolts. I had to rebuild you remember?"

"I'd rather not."

To say the trip was short was an understatement. To say that Douglas was surprised was a lie. To say he was dumbfounded was not. In what was probably the most heartfelt and bizarre scene Leo had ever seen, Marcus and his father hugged, both had tears streaming down their faces. Leo inwardly applauded himself for creating a crying app to his system. Even when he had to assure Douglas and Marcus that it wasn't a malfunction. And that his gasp of pain from his chest was nothing.

Of course that led to him spending the night with his Uncle Douglas and reformed cousin Marcus. It had been Marcus who had confirmed that his second lung had been infected by the bionics. Though it was Douglas who deciphered what that meant.

"What do you mean I can't yell?" Leo questioned. Douglas shrugged his shoulders.

"Sonic frequency. One of the possibly abilities I had programmed for Krane."

"How many have this? Do they all have it?"

"Nah. It was a newer program. Made to scramble frequencies. Though after I made it, Krane decided it would be a bad idea. Considering his army was bionic and the frequency could bring a person down for a few hours, or their bionics."

"I can disable bionics?" Leo asked with glee.

"Calm down shorty."

Leo frowned at the nickname.

"It means that when someone tries to use one power, another could be used. You essentially could scramble their electronic frequency."

"Either that or make them go deaf," Marcus commented. Leo frowned. He wanted to test it. But he didn't want anyone to get hurt. Not even the recently rebuilt Marcus. He decided not to tell anyone, or even try it unless he needed it. Who knows? Maybe it was just a possibility.

"That's nice. Listen, I need to get back to school. If I don't, Spike will no doubt be hear and drag me back."

"Yeah, yeah. Feel free to stop by Leo. I'll give you a check up on your bionics."

"And I can show you how to use them," Marcus smirked. Leo gave an undignified look.

"I rebuilt you! And installed your bionics! I think I'm awesome enough to control them," Leo goaded walking out the door.

"Bye Leo!"

"Bye!" Leo yelled. The windows shatter at the volume of the yell and the television flipped on rapidly changing channels and languages.

"LEO!" Douglas yelled as Leo took off running, silently promising not to yell unless it was an emergency.

An expansion of sorts. If Leo can build epic spherical robots of lasers and protection then why can't he build something else equally grand? Especially with his blue print reading ability. And yes, I don't think he could perfectly program Captain Eyebrows without a few snafus with the programming. And it was unfair to axe him off. He was a lot of fun. And as an android he can be rebuilt... With some minor tweaking so he isn't evil.

So, it anyone wants to use this plot bunny, a Leo rebuilds Marcus story, feel free. Just let me know if you do so I can read it.

This can also be combined with the Spreading idea in chapter one. Doesn't have to but it can.

Now as an obligation as a writer, please review and let me know what you think of it.
