A/N: I like the Spawn, so I figured I'd write about them a little more. The dears are on summer break, after all. And they're stuck hanging out at ShinRa with their parental Turks/President. Oh, what mischief can these kids get into?

Disclaimer: I own...(looks around)...nothing.

Kaya turned a corner and continued on her way. She had left her little brother in the breakroom, napping on the sofa while a rerun of Myth Smashers played softly on the television. Now, she was exploring the building she and her friends had been stuck in since they had been dismissed from school for the summer. And she was taking the best tour route she could think of.

The air-conditioning vents.

Oddly enough, they smelled vaguely of chocolate pudding.

She heard talking and stopped, looking out one of the vents into the office she was above, which happened to be Tseng's. The Turk leader was standing behind his desk, leaning over and pointing to something on his laptop while Paulo nodded and typed on the keyboard. Kaya suppressed a giggle at how cute the brown-haired boy looked in his new glasses.

Moving on. She heard giggling now and she stopped, peering into Feather and Niki's office. It looked like a pet shop in there! There were a ton of mice, a four-armed monkey (siamang!), an aquarium with a teeny, tiny little octopus in it, and a couple of cats and dogs. Kaya would definitely have to visit this office in person! She loved animals.

Humming softly to herself, Kaya moved up to the next floor via the air conditioning vents. She kept going on her journey wondering where she would end up when she got the feeling she was being watched. Looking up, she stifled a scream when she came face to face with a huge, fuzzy spider.

"Um...heh heh...hi Mr. Bigglesworth?" she said. This was no ordinary spider. This was another member of Niki's menagerie of pets. Mr. Bigglesworth was also known as Spidderoth. "H-how are you?"

Kaya shrieked as Mr. Bigglesworth seemed to blink at her and started coming towards her. She looked to her right, overjoyed to see a vent cover and quickly opened it, tumbling out of the vents and onto a plush sofa.

"What in the Planet?! Kaya?"

Kaya shook her head to free her face of her hair and looked up toward the voice. Grinning sheepishly, she tried to bury herself under the pillows of the couch. "Hi, Uncle Rufus," she said meekly.

Bryce giggled from his place beside his father, quickly stifling it as the President arched an eyebrow at him. Rufus turned his attention back to his niece and gestured to her. "Come here, Kaya," he ordered sternly.

Kaya rolled off the couch and straightened her clothes, moving to stand before her uncle's huge desk. "Yes, Sir?" she asked softly, eyes downcast.

Rufus suppressed a smile. "What were you doing up in the vents?" he asked.

"Busted," Bryce said under his breath.

Kaya stuck her tongue out at her cousin, but quickly stood up straight at the look Rufus gave her. "I was...exploring?" she ventured, turning on the puppy dog eyes.

"In the air conditioning vents?" he asked, trying not to let the adorableness over-power his senses.

"Yes," she said, her little voice sounding so pitiful.

Rufus sighed and rubbed his forehead. "I take it you are bored," he said with a comforting smile. He placed his hand on his son's shoulder as he stood up. "Believe me, I understand. My father forced me to be here when I was little."

"I like being here," Kaya objected. "But, it's just fun to..."

"Snoop," Bryce added enthusiastically. Rufus arched an amused eyebrow at him and Bryce lowered his eyes. "I mean..."

Rufus surprised them both by laughing. "Snooping is fun," he told them. He gestured to the door. "Go. Snoop. Have fun. Just...if you go to the labs, do not blow anything up. Understand?"

Kaya squealed and wrapped her arms around her uncle's waist. "Thanks, Uncle Rufus!" she exclaimed. She grabbed Bryce's hand and took off out the door.

"Bye, Dad!" Bryce called as he was dragged out of the office.

Rufus shook his head and closed the door. Ah, youth. He glanced up at his open vent and turned back to his door, locking it. Shrugging off his suit jacket, he climbed up onto his sofa and hoisted himself up, looking left and then right. He fell back onto the floor with a thump when he saw the huge spider staring back at him with it's beady little eyes. Dusting himself off, he went to his desk and dialed Tseng's extension. "Tseng, will you please tell Niki-chan to get Mr. Bigglesworth back in his cage?"

Bryce took over the lead and dragged Kaya to Reno's office. The little red-headed girl wasn't in there with her father. They continued on and stopped at the IT department when Kaya heard Axys laughing.

"Okay, now just type in something," Kandi was telling her. "I usually just type 'boo' and then he comes here screaming that his computer is haunted."

Axys giggled again and typed in a message. Kandi turned the monitor toward her and burst out laughing. "'I will eat your soul while you sleep, Turk'," she read out loud.

"What are you doing?" Bryce asked, going over to stand beside Axys. Kaya bounded over to Kandi and looked at the screen. She shrieked and covered her eyes.

"Mommy doesn't want me to look at naked people," she whispered.

"Ah, that's just Dad's girly wallpaper," Axys said. "They've got bikinis on, Ky. They're not really naked."

"How are you on Reno's computer?" Bryce asked. "Can he work on it too?"

Kandi nodded. "It's called Remote Assistance," she explained. "If someone is having computer issues, I can tap into their computer and fix it from here rather than going to each individual workstation. Which is good, considering I control all the computers in the building, not just the Turks'."

"So, I take it Reno doesn't know its you?" Bryce said with a grin.

"No, he should be in here in about fifteen seconds screaming about a possessed computer," the Turk answered. She looked at Kaya. "I'd get lost if I were you. He might want you to exorcise it."

"Is Andria back yet?" Axys asked.

Kandi nodded. "She should be in the labs," she answered. "Have fun, Kids!"

The threesome took off down the hall heading toward the elevators that would lead to the labs. Along the way, they ran into Paulo, Kaya grabbing his hand as she passed.

"Come on!" she exclaimed. "Rufus gave us permission to snoop!"

Paulo grinned and nodded, following them as they continued on. Axys stopped and looked toward Akalara's office. "Wait!" she said. "We need to get the General."

Bryce took a deep breath and stopped, turning and gesturing toward the office. "Go get him then," he said curtly. Axys gave him a strange look, but went into Akalara's office. She returned a few minutes later empty handed. "Well?" Bryce asked.

"Ak said he was training with Revan," the red-head answered. "Onward to the labs!"

The elevators opened and the four Spawn spilled out, laughing their heads off. They had hit all the buttons in the elevator so whoever got on next, had to stop at every floor. Oldest trick in the book, but still one of the best.

The labs were a very white place, full of glass and glowing things. Axys had been up here to see Andria before, so she lead the way to where her friend was assigned. Just as she turned a corner, she stopped, causing everyone behind her to run into her and each other.

"Hey!" Kaya exclaimed. "Ax! What gives?"

Axys swallowed hard, her heart stuck in her throat, and shook her head, putting on a playful smile. She turned back to her friends and grinned. "Nothin'," she answered. "I knew you putzes would all klutz up!"

Bryce looked passed her and saw what had caused her to stop. Andria wasn't alone. Azrael was with her. "Guess the General's not where he's supposed to be, is he?" he asked with a smirk.

Paulo shook his head and took Kaya's hand, glad he knew that she liked him as much as he liked her. He wouldn't be in Bryce's or Axys' shoes for nothing. He knew Kaya didn't understand what was going on with their friends, but he did. Bryce, poor guy, liked Axys, who liked him, but just as a friend. Axys liked Azrael who just thought of her as a friend. Azrael liked Andria and Andria...liked him back. It was kinda messed up.

"Hi, Guys!" Kaya exclaimed, going over to their two friends. She jumped up on the counter and giggled. "What's up?"

"Andi's working on her experiment," Azrael said, smiling at the red-streaked girl. "She's getting really close, too."

"What are you making?" Axys asked, standing next to Azrael and crossing her arms. She grinned. "I hope it's a milkshake!"

Andria laughed and smiled at her friend. "No, I'm actually still trying to recreate the Green Sludge," she said. She looked around the lab and leaned in conspiratorially. "Don't tell anyone, but I've been getting into the computers here during everyone's breaktime. I say I'm checking my blog. Anyway, I found some of that one freaky guys' records. They still have his experiments archived."

"What freaky guy?" Paulo asked.

"Hojo," Axys spat out. "Dad said he was a real fucker. Did a lot of bad stuff to people we love."

"He did horrible experiments on Cloud and Daddy while they were in the basement of the ShinRa Mansion at Nibelheim," Andria said softly.

"He did the even worse things to my dad," Azrael said. "Hojo was a bastard and I hope he rots in hell."

"He will!" Kaya said. "Mommy sent his elemental there!"

"Anyway, so I found some of his records and I found part of the formula for something called GS-56. I think it's the Green Sludge," Andria continued.

"Wait, part of it?" Axys asked. "Where's the rest?"

The red-streaked girl shook her head. "They came back before I could find it all," she answered.

"How are you going to test it when you do finish it?" Bryce asked. "Dad does not condone human or animal testing."

"Oh, I won't be testing it on humans or animals," Andria said with a smirk. "I'll be testing it on drunk frat boys."

Axys high-fived her. "Niice," she said with a laugh. "Will they stay switched forever?"

"Nah, before I do it, I'll have the antidote, too," she answered. "Then I'll make them pay me top gil for it."

"Just make sure you tell us before you do this," Bryce told her with a grin. "I want to tape it and put it on BoobTube."

"Hey!" Axys said, her attention span running out. "What's this do?"

Axys flicked a switch and a huge flame shot out. She grinned. "Cool! Fire!" she exclaimed. "I wanna hang here with you more, Andi!"

Paulo shook his head and Kaya giggled. "Freakin' pyro," the brown-haired boy mumbled.

A/N: Just some cute Spawn stuff. No real plot. And Mr. Bigglesworth aka Spidderoth belongs to teh maniac. I promised I'd work him in somehow. Reviews are much loved and appreciated.
