Hey guys, I'm back. I am writing out the chapters as I go along so if something doesn't seem right, just ignore it. Like how at the end of Bionic Showdown, we saw Marcus' robot hand, and I never included it. It didn't work for the story at the time. Also thank you to "lilac", "Draco Malfoy" and "A person" for the super awesome reviews!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN AVENGERS OR LAB RATS (If I did, you would be seeing ALOT more Marcus in Lab Rats, and he wouldn't have died.)

Ch 4

(No ones POV)

Bree sped into the lab, dragging Adam and Chase with her, scaring the living daylights out of Leo, who was doing homework.

"That was close." Chase slumpeddown into a chair and gave a sigh of relief. Adam leaned on the Cyber Desk while Bree just stood, slightly panting.

"What was close? What happened?!" Leo questioned. Adam Bree and Chase explained.

"Yep, that's bad."

"Hey don't you think SHIELD has security cameras?" Adam wondered aloud. Bree, Leo and Chase shared a panicked glance, before both looking at Adam.

"For once, he's right." Chase breathed. Bree started to pace the length of the lab.

"We might have just blown our bionic secret! Were doomed!" Bree threw her hands up in defeat. The elevator door slid open, and Mr. Davenport stepped out.

"Doomed? Leo, what did you do this time?

Stark Tower...

"Fury, You have to listen to me. I'm serious." Tony pleaded.

"Mr. Stark, I've learned over the years that you can't be serious." The direction deadpanned, not looking up from the files Tony had found.

"I can when a 15 year old life is on the line!" Tony snapped.

'Wait, what?" Fury finally looked up. Tony knew he had said just the right thing. Even though Fury's secrets had secrets, deep, deep, deep down, he just wants to protect innocent people.

"Marcus isn't going to make it too his 16th birthday." Tony looked at his feet.

"What do you mean isn't going to make it?" Fury commanded.

"The thing about androids is they burn out, like batteries. But, whoever created Marcus knew that. He has obviously been recharged, to stretch his lifetime." Tony explained.

"So our main resource in this investigation to going to die?" Funny how Fury said "resource" like Marcus was some object and not alive. Well technically he's not... Whatever. "And couldn't we just build another Marcus?"

"Yes, but if we do, he won't remember anything. If I could just run some tests then I might be able to save him." Tony asked, then added "I am the greatest inventor of this time."

"Fine, Stark. Wait here while I call HQ." Fury stomped off into the other room. Minutes past, until Fury walked back in.
"Come with me." He breezed past Tony toward the elevator.
"Anger much?" Tony muttered. After they were in the elevator, an awkward silence fell over them, which Tony couldn't resist breaking.
"Hey, do you want to hear Jarvis' Simon Cowell impressi-"
"NO!" Fury snapped.

Marcus was panicked. He tried his best not to show it, like he did in front of his "dad", but when the guards weren't there, he would pace the length of the cell like a caged animal. Marcus couldn't help but wonder why he was still around. If the government thought he was a threat, why not eliminate him? (At least that's what they did in most action movies) It's not like he was anything of use. Douglas just wanted him around to defeat the bionic brats. He wasn't given a second thought when the stupid SHIELD agents locked him in this cell. Marcus' panic turned to anger. He felt the fury pulsing in his veins. Before he could stop himself, he shot lightning at a wall. It was a good way to take his anger out on something that wasn't going to get hurt by it. Marcus shot lightning at random angles, leaving charred marks on the walls. He lost track of time. It became automatic. Shoot, breathe, shoot. After maybe 30 minutes, he felt like he was going to pass out. Marcus stumbled over to his bed and sat down, but it collapsed underneath him. Probably hit by a stray bolt. He groaned and put his head in his hands. He needed to escape.

Marcus stood up at lightning speed when the door creaked open. Director Fury stomped in, glaring at a tablet, not bothering to acknowledge Marcus. Since he didn't look up, he didn't notice the cell looked like a bomb went off. Fury was followed by Tony Stark, the inferior that had visited sometime ago. He noticed the room, and had utter disbelief written all over his face. He looked at all the burnt walls, then at Marcus, then back at the walls.

"Well..." Tony said after a moment. "Someone has anger issues."
Marcus rolled his eyes and leaned on a wall, but quickly moved away once he saw it was smoking.

Fury looked up from his tablet. "What do you mean anger is-" He cut himself off. He pointed at Marcus and then pointed at the roof, silently asking if he did this.

Marcus smirked and shrugged innocently. Fury grumbled something that wasn't polite, and left the room slamming the door behind him. That left just Marcus and Tony.

"How did you do this? This cell is state of the art, almost nothing could manage to make that much of a mark." Tony asked

"Well it's obviously not very state of the art now." Marcus raised an eyebrow.

"You've got me there." Tony shrugged. "So, I'm just here to offer my help to you."

"What?" Marcus asked, clueless to the fact his life was slowly ebbing away.

"Wait, you don't know?" Tony asked. Marcus looked at Tony expectantly. "Androids burn out, and your going to burn out the day of the your 16th birthday."

Once the initial shock left Marcus' face, he raised an eyebrow. "How do I know this isn't some trick to get me to answer all of SHIELD's questions?"

"Trust me kid, its not. I'm not the biggest fan of SHIELD either. They're secrets have secrets."

"Ditto" Marcus muttered.

"What?"

"Nothing, go on."

"The point is," Tony continued, "I can help you. I can get you out of confinement. Yeah, sure, you would still be under surveillance, but its better than this. You with me?'

Marcus thought for a moment, looked at Tony, then sighed.

"Fine."

Surprisingly, I'm still alive! I know I know, I haven't updated in weeks, but I'm back. School has been crazy busy, so I might not have the next chapter up for a while. I have absolutely no idea where this story is going, so I guess we'll find out. Thanks for reading!
