i know we never got to see an offical “s-2″ but im just going to says its logan because i find it cute/funny. literal golden retriever boy was krane’s second top solider and a deadly force .
i just really liketo imagine the bionic army before the memory wipe. s-1 s-2 s-3 all go out and fuck people up for fun loser times. s-1 and s-2 both make fun of s-3 who yells at them like a baby. s-1 calls him a brat and pushes him s-2 pushes them both into a mud puddle and runs away. just. bionic army lore PLEASE. i want more of them
i hadnt watched the majority of s4 episodes bc i was at the point where the show Wasn’t As Fun, so im watching on the edge rn and fucking. logan quietly going “boooo” to chase as he leaves is hilarious
same AU as the vanishing rewrite and also based off of a incorrect quote i posted a bit ago.
features a lil bit of leo/logan. also ig in the AU the upgrade wasn’t as op in canon. Elite Force hasn’t happened yet as well
cw some swearing + brief implications of past abuse/current abuse
INT, BIONIC ACADEMY, DOUGLAS‘S LAB
Douglas is busy tinkering with Marcus’s arm, and also seemingly overwriting something engraved in their framework. A brief glance shown on what Douglas is working on, shows that in Marcus’s palm, is ‘Property of Giselle Vickers’s engraved into the framework.
DOUGLAS: Anddd... there we go. All gone!
Marcus looks at their palm, and thumbs over where the words used to be, now stating ‘Belongs to no one.’ Marcus smiles, but they seem to control their joy.
MARCUS: Thanks.
Douglas seems to give Marcus a leading look.
MARCUS: ... Dad. (Rolls eyes)
DOUGLAS: (Giddy) Aw, why thank-you, son.
MARCUS: Don’t get used to it. I’m still not fully trusting you.
MARCUS: Well, it’s not a closet like with Giselle, and it doesn’t look like a cage, like with a certain somebody...
DOUGLAS: Hey, it fit the theme of the liar! Can’t judge me for that.
MARCUS: Eh, I can judge you a little.
Douglas sarcastically laughs in response, finishing up fixing Marcus. They check out their arm for any cracks or imperfections, and they find none. Marcus stands from their chair and begins to leave, but is knocked into by Logan and Taylor, who are running in.
LOGAN: Mr. Douglas! We’ve got an issue, can you please help us?
TAYLOR: Yeah, our capsules are frizzing out!
DOUGLAS: Uh, yep. Okay. I’ll handle it. (mumbling) How does Donnie’s tech keep breaking...?
Douglas quickly leaves, carrying his tool box with him. Taylor and Logan suddenly take notice of Marcus, and Logan quickly moves forward to shake their hand.
LOGAN: Oh, hi! I’m Logan.
MARCUS: Um. Cool.
Marcus awkwardly shakes Logan’s hand, and Taylor offers her hand as well.
TAYLOR: I’m Taylor. I don’t think we’ve met?
MARCUS: Right, uh... I’m Marcus. Douglas’s... other child.
LOGAN: (Casually) Damn, he gets around.
TAYLOR:(panicked) Logan!
LOGAN: Right! Filter! Filter thoughts!
MARCUS: Well, don’t worry about that. I wasn’t... b-born.
TAYLOR: ... C-Section?
MARCUS: I’m, uh, made out of metal. Completely.
LOGAN: Like a robot?
MARCUS: (slightly annoyed) Android, actually.
TAYLOR: Huh, wait... Leo told us about you. ( You’re the weirdo android that tried to kill him.
MARCUS: Ah, right. He’d tell people that. Uhm, well, we’ve... moved past that experience.
TAYLOR: “Moved past”? Really?
MARCUS: Yeah, moved past, as in, I’m not trying to kill him anymore, and he only vaguely wants to murder me.
LOGAN: Huh, guess that makes sense.
TAYLOR: (Uncertain) If... If you aren’t trying to hurt Leo anymore, then I guess you’re cool.
MARCUS: You’re... giving me a chance that easily?
TAYLOR: Well, I tired to kill Leo too, so it’d be hypocritical if I hated you for that. He gave me a second chance, so I’m giving you one too.
MARCUS: (Half-genuine) Thanks...
Logan squints a little at Marcus, placing a hand on his hips.
LOGAN: So... Can you do anything... cool?
Marcus once overs Logan, then smiles.
Transition
Marcus is holding Logan and Taylor up with one hand each. Taylor seems to be enjoying herself, and Logan looks ecstatic.
LOGAN: (Giggling) This is so cool! I can never get anyone else to do this!
TAYLOR: It feels like I’m floating!
Marcus starts laughing too, enjoying their amusement, when Douglas reenters holding his toolbox and a fistful of corroded wires.
DOUGLAS: I found the issue, sea water--
He notices what is going on.
DOUGLAS: ... The hell are you three doing?
LOGAN: (Grinning) I asked Marcus to pick us up!
DOUGLAS: Why?
Marcus replies in a way that sounds like what they’re saying is completely obvious.
MARCUS: Because I can?
DOUGLAS: Marcus, put them down. Now.
MARCUS: Ugh, fine.
Marcus carefully lowers them both, with Logan making sure Taylor lands correctly. She silently thanks him with a pat on his back.
DOUGLAS: You can’t just pick people up!
MARCUS: (Annoyed) Adam picks up Chase and throws him all the time!
DOUGLAS: That’s- That’s different! That’s Donnie’s parenting, not mine.
MARCUS: (Sarcastically) Still your genetics, why don’t you try to parent them too?
DOUGLAS: (Sighing, said quietly) Why can’t you be through your asshole teenager phase yet...
Douglas pinches the bridge of his nose and dumps his toolbox on the floor. He’s clearly restraining his anger in front of Logan and Taylor.
DOUGLAS: Taylor, Logan, can you two leave?
TAYLOR: Alright...
LOGAN: Um, bye Mr. Douglas. Goodbye Marcus.
The two leave, although they are both nervous, as they’ve never seen Douglas so wound up before.
DOUGLAS: Listen, I know you’re happy about... freedom and stuff, but there’s still some rules to follow. Like not potentially endangering someone who’s blind.
MARCUS: Huh? What are you talking about?
DOUGLAS: You didn’t- Taylor! She’s blind.
MARCUS: Oh, I didn’t know that... I thought she was just having trouble with her laser sight or something...
DOUGLAS: Just, try not to use your bionics on students, alright? I don’t want anyone getting hurt and you leaving a bad impression.
MARCUS: I feel like... you’re overreacting. I have super strength, I wouldn’t drop anyone.
DOUGLAS: That’s not the point! I haven’t done a check on you yet. I don’t know what Giselle did to your chip. She could’ve put some stupid... I don’t know, killing bionic!
MARCUS: I would know, I can tell when--
DOUGLAS: (Yelling) Marcus!
Marcus immediately stills and freezes in place. They instantly straighten up and take the posture of a military unit.
DOUGLAS: No, sorry, I shouldn’t have- Sorry I yelled at you. (Sighing) The dorm capsules just made me mad, I won’t take it out on you. My bad.
MARCUS: R-R...Right. Yeah.
Although Marcus loosened up from their posture, it’s clear they’ve receded into themselves, covering their lower stomach with their arms and awkwardly looking into the floor.
DOUGLAS: Sorry.
Douglas makes a move to place a hand on Marcus’s shoulder, but they flinch away briefly. Douglas nervously takes his hand back and pats his legs awkwardly.
DOUGLAS: Just... don’t pick anyone up until I’ve done a check on your bionics, yeah?
MARCUS: ... Okay. Sorry.
DOUGLAS: It’s- It’s fine, Marcus. Don’t worry.
MARCUS: Okay...
Marcus slowly leaves Douglas’s Lab.

INT, BIONIC ACADEMY, MENTOR’S QUARTERS
Leo and Bree are sitting on the couch, eating from separate chip bowls. They are watching some sort of horror movie.
BREE: These things kinda lost their flair now that we know why they got made.
LEO: Yeah... knowing that the lead director tried to kill us and everyone we care about really dampens the way the zombie’s bite into heads of innocent victims.
The TV plays a chomping sound effect and a woman screams in a high pitch.
BREE: Do you want to see if Zombie Hair Stylist is any good?
LEO: Oh, I watched it already, I give it... a 6/10. Effects were up to standard but the plot? Way too messy to follow. There’s about 8 different subplots and half of them aren’t relevant.
BREE: Is it gory?
LEO: Yeah?
BREE: Let’s watch it.
Leo shrugs and makes a move to grab the TV remote, when Taylor and Logan wander in, still looking nervous.
LEO: Hey!
Leo warms up instantly, giving the pair a bright smile.
TAYLOR: Hey Leo.
BREE: Also here.
TAYLOR: Oh, hey Bree, as well.
LOGAN: Uhm, can we ask you guys a family question?
BREE: (Pausing the movie) Sure? Go ahead.
LOGAN: So uh, is Douglas known for-
TAYLOR: Being uhm, violent?
Bree and Leo look between each other in confusion.
LEO: He yells... I don’t think he’s ever hit anyone in retaliation, though.
BREE: Yeah, he mostly uses a gun or something.
LOGAN: Oh well that’s worse.
LEO: (Worried) Why? Is something happening?
TAYLOR: We, uhm, met Marcus.
LOGAN: Yeah! And we asked if they could pick us up, because they have super strength, like Adam, but Douglas came back and he seemed really mad at Marcus, so we--
TAYLOR: --We were worried Marcus might be hurt. We’ve never seen Douglas so... pissed before.
LEO: Oh, uhh... Douglas is just really wound up because of everything. I’m sure in a few days he’ll calm down.
BREE: Yeah, there’s no issue!
Logan and Taylor look at each other for half a second, then turn back to Leo and Bree.
TAYLOR: Um, not to be rude, but that... didn’t really answer the question directly.
BREE: Uhh...
LEO: Okay, look. I’m like, 90% sure Douglas doesn’t get violent.
LOGAN: 90%...?
LEO: Listen, the man commits felonies on the reg, I have no clue what his morals are.
LOGAN: So, should we be... worried?
BREE: No! (Pause, uncertain) No?
LEO: Yeah-- No, no! Douglas isn’t a terrible person... Ish. He’s pretty forgiving and kind to Daniel, who’s also his son, so Marcus is going to be fine, trust me.
TAYLOR: Alright. Yeah. Thanks, sorry to uh, bother you both.
BREE: It’s cool, during our convo I changed my mind. (Turns to Leo) Let’s watch Zombie Truckers 10 again.
LEO: Oooh, yeah! That’s the best one.
BREE: (Obvious) Yea, that’s why I picked it, duh.
Logan and Taylor leave their quarters as Bree and Leo continue talking about their movie choice.
INT, BIONIC ACADEMY, MENTOR’S QUARTERS HALLWAY
LOGAN: Right. Marcus is all cool and fine. Nothing to worry about.
They both pause and look at each other.
TAYLOR: But, y’know, to be safe... Let’s just hang out with Marcus. To make sure everything is chill.
LOGAN: Because it is chill. And Marcus is fun.
TAYLOR: Yeah. Exactly.
They both nervously run off in the direction of the cafeteria.

EXT, BIONIC ACADEMY, ISLAND GARDEN/BEACH
Marcus is sitting on a bench embedded into the sand. They’re lasering various clumps of sand into glass, turning them into marbles. As they finish up another one, Logan and Taylor run into the garden, puffed out.
LOGAN: Hey!
Marcus turns around and sees them both, confused.
MARCUS: Um, what’s up?
Logan and Taylor walk over to Marcus’s bench and sit on either side of them.
TAYLOR: We wanted to know if... You’re okay.
MARCUS: Hm? Why wouldn’t I be?
LOGAN: Um, when we left, Douglas seemed really angry and...
MARCUS: (Realizing) Oh! No, um... My dad’s always been... a bit tougher on me. I guess. (Unsure) I-I know, he means well... probably.
TAYLOR: Well, y’know, glad you’re uhm, okay.
Logan looks down at the sand.
LOGAN: What are you doing?
MARCUS: ... Heating up sand so it turns into marbles?
TAYLOR: Oooh, cool.
LOGAN: (Picking one up) I bet Bob or Spin would like these right?
Taylor pauses as if she’s trying to remember something.
TAYLOR: Right, uhm...
LOGAN: One smells like ketchup and the other smells like Lego bricks?
TAYLOR: Oh! Yeah, they’d like that stuff.
MARCUS: Do you want them? I can literally make a handful in a second.
LOGAN: Hmm... I have a morally dubious idea.
TAYLOR: (Interested) What is it?
MARCUS: Why did you announce it like that?
Logan ignores Marcus’s question.
LOGAN: We could... do pranks with them. Right?
MARCUS: Like...?
TAYLOR: Do you want to fill Chase’s and Adam’s capsule with them?
MARCUS: (Grinning) Sounds fun.
LOGAN: Hah! I love doing pranks. Leo says that he’s “super cool and great” at doing them, so I want to be like that as well. He’s so amazing and cool, he has really good ideas too, and have you SEEN his cooking? Oh it’s so... (Continues speaking out of sight)
MARCUS: (Questioning) Hm?
They look at Taylor for a second.
TAYLOR: (Mouthing) ‘IN-LOVE-WITH-HIM’
MARCUS: Ah, makes sense.
Marcus watches as Logan continues to ramble about Leo, and Taylor tries to gather all the marbles below in her hands.
