Tony was the youngest child out of the four siblings, and he had very mixed feelings about. He was always being treated like the 'baby brother' even though Marc and Megan where only a year older than him, he was the smallest and physically weakest and most of the time he was undermined by the others while out on missions. On the other hand he seemed to get away with a lot more things, often being able to pan the blame on to Marc, and was given by far the most attention in the family, he received the most gifts for Christmas and birthdays and could manipulate his parents easier than the others could, so it had it's ups and downs. Toby leapt from the catwalk he was standing on to avoid a beam of green light, distracting him from his thoughts.
"What do you think that ray thing does?" Megan asked as she landed next to Tony.
"I'm not sure, but I really don't want to find out," Marc replied, landing opposite to opponent with Lee.
"We need a way to get that ray-gun off of him," Lee whispered over to Marc.
"I'm thinking," Marc replied, he tapped on his intercom. "I need a distraction."
"Leave that to us," Megan replied, she grabbed a loose metal rod and threw it at the foe, he jumped out of the way and started shooting at her, she flipped back, dodging the rays. While the man was distracted Lee and Marc jumped up onto several beams over head, Marc grabbed a rusted piece of metal before preparing to leap. Once again, everyone had completely forgotten about Tony and he was left out of the plan. It was getting hard especially lately, it seemed that everything Tony did only seemed to hinder the others. When the man was in position Marc pounced on him, jamming the rusted metal into the high-tech ray-gun.
"No! You're ruining everything!" The man shouted, Lee also attacked and the two boys struggled against the man, during the struggle a stray shot from the gun shot towards Megan, who was otherwise occupied.
"Megan, Watch out!" Tony shouted before jumping towards her, he pushed the girl out of the road and shouted as he was zapped by the ray.
"TONY!" Upon hearing his bother's scream Lee seemed to be given a boost of strength as he single handedly knocked the man to the ground, unconscious. Marc was the first to run to Tony's side, he rolled the boy over and checked for any damages, there didn't seem to be any, the ray only seemed to knock the boy out.
"So? What was that ray supposed to do?" Lee asked impatiently.
"Don't worry yourself," Jerry calmed him, "Tony is perfectly fine, it appears whatever the ray was supposed to do it didn't."
"It must have stopped working when I jabbed it with that piece of metal," Marc reasoned.
"That does appear to be the case," Jerry confirmed, "it's a good thing you did, who knows what could have happened to Tony if it worked." Megan looked down at the ground.
"It was all my fault," she informed, "I should have been paying attention."
"It's fine, after all Tony's safe," Marc reassured her, "can we see him?"
"Be my guest," Jerry replied. The trio walked into the infirmary room where Tony was siting on the bed.
"You feeling ok bud?" Marc asked, taking a seat next to Tony.
"I feel kind of funny," Tony replied, he pointed to his stomach, "like around here." The trio laughed as Tony grinned widely.
"That's no surprise, it's probably been a whole two hours since you ate," Lee replied.
"Wow, how is he still alive?" Megan asked, mocking a shocked expression.
"Come on Garbage Truck, let's get home," Marc helped Tony up and the four retuned to the house. The rest of the evening was eventless, they did their own things, before having dinner and watching TV until it was time to go to bed. Tony climbed up onto the top bunk as he always did with Marc sleeping in the bottom bunk. Marc turned the light off and fell asleep almost instantly but of course Toby decided to play a few more games on his phone before his sleepiness got the better of him.
