"How'd we do?" I asked and coughed

"Fine... I mean Ryan has a burning X on his chest and oh god! There's blood, coming out of your ears and nose and the side of your mouth." He panicked

"So get me to the med-bay, idiot." I felt light-headed. I felt someone unbuckle me from my harness and felt Spyder pick me up. I passed out after that.

"Ryan Peanut Walker, get off your butt, move it!" I heard Grace yell, as soon as I woke up. Peanut??? Oh man this is great blackmail.

"I didn't know your middle name was Peanut." I murmured and closed my eyes.

"Eliza! You're awake." I heard Veracity say.

"Yep!" I muttered and tried sitting up.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"You three are coming with me." Grace told us

"I'm not your child! I currently live with Veracity and furthermore, you are not my guardian, so technically it would be considered kidnapping." I told Grace

"You're right! I overstepped." Grace apologized

"Okay guys good news." Harper said, coming in, "It'll take some time but I think we can adjust the X-weapon so it won't kill Beth and won't make Ryan so crispy." Harper said

"Graceface!" He exclaimed, noticing Grace, "I am so sorry I haven't called, things have been crazy-" Grace punched him in the stomach

"Oh so when I do it, I need to be restrained by Spyder, Harris and Veracity but when Ms Walker does it, it's totally fine." I complained

"You have powers and would've killed Harper." Veracity pointed out

"How is he still alive? And what is he doing here?" Grace asked

"mom, we need him to defeat Traeger. He's helping upgrade the robot." Mark said

"So you're harbouring the guy who kidnapped me and tried to kill you. The world's most wanted man?" Grace exclaimed

"Oooh is that true? Did I finally get ahead of those pirates?" Harper asked us

"Dude! Not helping!" Ryan said

"That's it! Get all of your stuff, we're never coming back here and we're leaving Bay City." Grace said and they left.

"Middle name's Peanut huh?" Veracity snickered

"My middle name's Belinda and even I'm embarrassed for Ryan." Leo stated

"Leo Belinda Mendel and Ryan Peanut Walker, amazing blackmail material." I said, grinning. Veracity started laughing.
"Stop it!" Leo threatened and we did.

"Ima get up." I said and slowly swung my legs over the side of the bed. I stood unsteadily.

"You good?" Spyder asked and I nodded.

"I'm gonna go train." I told everyone.

"Nope! You're staying with me, and I'm gonna teach you how to play video games." Spyder told me and picked me up.

"Guys, a little help!" I called out

"Nope!" Veracity said grinning

"BETRAYAL!" I cried as I was dragged away. "Put me down." I told Spyder. He unceremoniously dropped me on the floor.

"Ow! Not like that!" I told him.

"It'll be fun! Here!" Spyder said and tossed me the remote. "Plus, we don't get to spend a lot of time together without the others." Spyder told me
