Prompt: "How many fingers am I holding up?"

Fandom: Mech-X4

Characters: Spyder, Harris, and Veracity

Summary: Spyder wakes up, delirious and injured after a monster attack. Harris plays severely unqualified nurse.

Trigger Warnings: injury, mentioned vomit, mentioned death

809 words

Something was screeching. High pitched and whiny, kinda reminding him of a school bell… was he at school right now? No, that didn’t sound right. If not there, then where was he?

He groaned, blinking his eyes open. The screeching didn’t go away. In fact, it only somehow got even worse. He couldn’t see that well, vision all… blurred. Did he normally wear glasses? He couldn’t remember. He was pretty sure he didn’t, but then why else would his eyes be so… messed up?

A dark shape loomed over him. His first thought: dad? His second: please not dad.

The screeching (which he was now beginning to realize was just a ringing in his ears) was polite enough to quiet down some. A win was a win.

“Spyder?” the shape called, sounding like it had come from underwater. Or maybe he was underwater… he really couldn’t tell. “Can you hear me?”

“Harris?” he attempted, throat so scratchy it was painful. He coughed, his lungs burning at the action. “Wh’s goin’ on?”

“Oh, thank god. You took a real bad hit… or, a couple, more accurately. Do you remember the fight?”

His brain felt like it was full of soup, so… probably not. Was that why everything sounded so far away? “Did I win?” he croaked, squinting at the Harris-shaped blob.

“You were sort of… unconscious for most of it. Veracity had to hop on weapons, it was… quite the experience. But yeah, we won.”

He moved to sit up, immediately regretting the attempt. His body curled in on itself on pure instinct, raw pain sprouting in his chest like a… plant or something. 

“Oh, shit, yeah, don’t move!” Harris said, words stumbling over themselves. “We still need to check you out. Leo went to get some supplies… um, on a scale of one to ten, how are you feeling?”

“Mmm, ‘ve had worse,” he slurred. “‘nt hear good…”

“You can’t hear good?” Harris clarified, getting a low groan in response. “Okay, okay, I’ll forgive the grammar this one time on that. Uhhh… how many fingers am I holding up?”

Spyder squinted at the shape of his friend, trying to focus on his where his hands probably were. “Mmm… twelve?” he guessed.

“Yeah, that’s… definitely not right. I’m gonna need to scan you, hold still, okay?”

It wasn’t like he had much choice. If he moved, he was half convinced he’d disintegrate on the spot. God, everything hurt. He’d been knocked around plenty in his life, and he’d definitely had worse, but jesus. It was like his insides were on fire.

But he couldn’t stay down. He couldn’t afford to be dead weight on the team, not even for a minute. Not when he was constantly teetering on the edge of their collective patience. Not after the day Harris had been infected with ooze, had screamed at him that he was always in the way. 

He needed to show them that he wasn’t just the useless fool who didn’t add anything to the team other than plain annoyance. Quickly. Before they realized that it really was all he was and kicked him to the curb. 

“Wh—stop trying to get up!” Harris ordered, pushing him back down. Spyder’s head spun violently, and he had to give himself a moment to swallow down a bit of puke. 

“I’m good,” he hissed through his teeth, doing his best to filter the pain out of his voice. “All good. We’re good.” He still couldn’t actually focus his eyes enough to see the expression on his friend/severely unqualified doctor’s face. 

“I will strap you down, I swear,” he insisted, obviously annoyed. 

“Kinky,” came the unexpected voice of Veracity from somewhere near the door. 

“Wh-that’s not what I — no!” Harris stammered. Spyder wished he could see how red he probably was. He bet it’d be cute. Harris always somehow was.

“Relax, dumbass,” she said with a half-laugh. “Anyway, how are you feeling, kid?” She asked, her voice closer, now. 

“Mmm…” he managed, re-assessing his body to check for pain. To his faint surprise, though it was still definitely there, it felt so… detached from him, now. He felt like he was dreaming. “I think ‘m dying.”

“What?” they both cried in deeply concerned unison. 

Spyder grinned in what he assumed was Harris’s direction. “Cause you look like an angel.”

“I hate gay people,” Veracity mumbled under her breath. 

“I assume,” he continued, “'cause I can’t actually like… see you.”

“That’s… a problem. What can you see?”

“Shapes’n colors,” he slurred, giggling slightly. His head felt like it was going to explode. To be perfectly honest, that did sound pretty sick, though. Not as sick considering it hurt like a bitch. “G’nigh… sweet prince…” he mumbled, hoping his friends would still be there when he woke up again. 

They probably wouldn’t be, but he could dream.

[dramaticnerdwithanxiety11]

it’s been like 11hrs bc i forgot about this but like hello im here to talk about it now

AHEM

so starting off with a list of things i wanna say

1. No romantic subplot between main characters (and also marks gf) 2. female character on the main cast who’s pretty sick (and has two dads) 3. the a n g s t 4. harper and leo 5. spyder 6. the year and the tech 7. the 36 

Okay starting with the lack of a romantic subplot (between main characters): YES. THANK YOU DISNEY. Look, im all for romance if it’s good, but had they gone with the stereotypical “omg girl and boy on main cast fall for each other so cute uwu” i wouldve hated this show. But they didnt!!! They could’ve made Harris and Veracity fall for each other, as they’ve been frenemies/friends since kindergarten (or before), and there were a lot of jokes made about them dating etc etc, but they didn’t. They stayed friends, even when she joined the main cast. They also couldve paired Veracity up with Ryan, as he’s the main character, but they didn’t! And it makes sense, because these guys are in highschool and have other priorities (yaknow, saving the world, for example) beyond dating. 

Now, Mark on the other hand, he actually does have a girlfriend. And she’s great. She’s a side character, which means I’m not being exposed to unnecessary romance, just a little sprinkling from time to time. They met at this gaming con thingy that had a famous sports player doing signings, they met in the line. She’s a cosplayer for this game that I forgot the name of and she cosplays this warrior elf lady who’s pretty awesome. She’s nice but not Too Nice, and she laughs when Mark acts all full of himself (he flirts with her rihgt off the bat and she goes “Smooth” and then he says something about her outfit matching her eyes all awkward and she goes “Less smooth” and laughs, its adorable). She takes him to a con and helps him make a cosplay later in the show where he plays the male warrior that the character she cosplays is dating, and he makes a comment like “so when do i get to save you?” and she gives him a look and then laughs and goes “oh no, you have a lot to learn” because it turns out the male character is the “damsel” in distress it’s great. She also breaks up with him at some point in the show because he was ghosting her due to all the time he spends in the robot, and he wings her back after Harris, Veracity and Spyder all try to repair their relationship bc they were cute. He apologizes, she communicates with him, they get back together. Plus! It makes more sense for him to be dating. He’s in his last years of highschool (while the rest of the main cast are freshmans), and while he does have quite a few commitments he doesnt get with her until after he’s only attending one after school activity (bc his whole thing is that he’s super good at sports and is in like all the teams). Plus, as the mechanic he’s not always at the robot.

Also, side note, the only other romantic relationship in the show is Harper and Grace, who get together early on in season 1 after she goes there to find work catering (she’s a chef btw) and the boys all break in to try and open the monster heart. After getting caught she scolds them, grounds Mark for a month for snooping, and then goes on a date with Harper just to spite him. They’re actually super cute, and if Harper weren’t the main supervillain I wouldnt have minded their relationship.

Anyways, moving on to part 2: Veracity (female main cast character)

So Veracity shows up in season 1 as this side character who knows Harris. They’re like scientific rivals, it’s cute. When s2 comes around and they move schools she slowly becomes more important (helping them out, working with Harris at Harper’s, etc), until eventually Harris gets injured and she gets recruited to temporarily take his spot as Defense in Mech x4 (she also thinks he’s going to ask her out when he invites her and politely denies him which is nice). She’s very independent and doesnt really know how to work as a team, and one of her biggest dreams is to get into this all girls hogwarts-style school for science. She almost does, thanks to Harris (who was mind controlled-ish at the time), but ends up not going when there’s more work to do and she has to take over Defense again. Also: she has two dads. We never meet them, but it’s mentioned, and I just want to appreciate that considering this is a Disney show from 2016.

Part 3: the an g s t 

for a kids show, this shit is so fucking angsty /pos. Like, unlike other fandoms I want fics of the like normal parts of this show that happen off camera; like the main cast bonding or shit like that, because there’s so much fanfiction-like angst in it i dont even need to read fics for it. And it’s like the good angst too!! Not even shitty angst, the good shit, and it’s not too over the top either, which is amazing.

Part 4: harper and leo

So, Harper is the main badguy. Seth Harper, owner of Harper Futuristics (a big tech company), creates this giant monsters out of orange goop because he wants to play god. More specifically: he intends to wipe out the human race except for the few people he deems “worthy”, then create a paradise for them to live in after everything is over. He’s actually kinda funny and neat when he isnt going all evil bad guy.

Leo, on the other hand, is the old mentor kinda guy-ish (he’s not actuallyt old he’s just like 30 but in comparison to the kids he’s old). He built Mech x4 (and also Mech x3 and presumably two other robots before), he’s super smart, etc etc, but he’s also a little fucked up. He was imprisoned deep under the sea by Harper for two years in solitary pretty much, and before that he was running experiments to create superpowers (resulting in Ryan being born with his Technopathy). He was on the run from Harper along with a lot of his experiments (who all willingly volunteered), before he went into hiding to create the robots and eventually got caught.

Leo and Harper actually went to college together. They were roommates and their relationship was akin to being like brothers, but then something split them up (presumably Leo coming up with the idea for the monsters and Harper deciding to end the world with them). When Harper turns to the good side (kinda) they bicker a lot and are very brother-like, especially when it comes to the tech on the robot.

 Part 5: Spyder

he gets his own category, fucking fight me

anyways, Spyder, aka Conner Johnson, is great he’s like the best character. He’s best friends with Harris and Ryan and he runs Weapons. He’s been to prison (”This is harder than it looks!” “Yeah, well, so is prison!” “Eh, it’s not that bad-- er, so i’ve heard!”) presumably multiple times, is failing all his classes and “has the attention span of a squirrel”. He’s super reckless and chaotic and loves chaos. He’s generally seen as the comic relief who’s pretty empty headed but is still very very important to the friend group and main cast.

Part 6: the year and the tech

This has been bugging me since i started rewatching it recently, i have no idea when this show takes place. Like you’d think it takes place in 2016 (or like 10 years in either direction) but then you see the tech and how at their science fair thingy harris making a device that can manipulate light and dim or brighten any and all lights from a distance and veracity making a black hole in a box is just normal and overlooked pretty easily (even if they did win the fair and the jobs). The tech from Harper Futuristics is all completely transparent and water proof, and also might i remind you that we have a 150ft tall fighting robot with a “plasma punch” and also giant hybrid monsters made of g o o. So no idea when this story takes place, and i think that’s interesting

Part 7: the 36

The 36 (i honestly dont remember the numer so we’re just going with 36) are the results of Leo’s experiments. They’re all allergic to technology and are slowly dying. They live together on this little farm thingy in the middle of fuckall and have an ore that protects them from techy shit. Ryan’s birth parents both live here. The leader of the place and her flunkies try to force Ryan and Leo to cure everybody, almost killing Ryan in the process, before she gets imprisoned for this. In the end Ryan gets a power booster device thingy from Veracity and cures all of them which is sweet.

Anyways I probably have more but i have places to be so enjoy this lmao

there are so many Words i could say about mech x4 but it's 6am and i don't wanna open my laptop so in like three hours prepare for a really long rant about a disney kids show 😎

[digitalfate]

Anyway here's some random Mech-X4 gifs bc why not. Idrc if you give credit. Just don't claim as your own.

[bories]

im begging more people to watch it !

[peanutryan]

Anyone have ideas for a Mech-X4 oneshot they’d want someone to write? I’m looking for ideas, I haven’t contributed anything to this fandom in a while. Gen preferred, unless it’s a canon relationship I guess?? (which is like.....only Mark/Georgia basically lol) but yeah gen preferred. And if I end up using someone’s idea I will be sure to credit & tag you!!

i made a mech x4 meme because i was bored and i forgot harris so oof but i imagine he'd be in the "you will" spot

[mechexecute260]

Now that is some dark stuff for a Disney show. 

Harris is literally a kid. He’s in high school. But he’s been forced to choose between waiting and hoping his friends and family can save the world and him, or taking matters into his own hands, and potentially giving his own life to protect them. “He said it was better than being a slave.” That line hit me really hard. Harris doesn’t want to be used as a weapon against his friends. He sees Mark’s arrival as time to escape his dismal fate as Traeger’s puppet, no matter the cost. This is an extremely heavy Disney theme. I absolutely love how they handled this episode and this scene.

Spyder Topic 2

I know this one is going to be way longer then the first so let’s make this intro short.. 

Season 2 of every Spyder moment where he not so subtly revealed some information about his past aka “The Ultimate Spyder Angst Post Part 2″

P.S. There will be less text in this post because there will be so many gifs.

Versus The New Evil

Why did Spyder just assume everyone was fighting? It sounds like he was running towards the group so I doubt he had heard the conversation. Which means he randomly saw his friends and Varsity players in a group together and automatically assumed everyone was fighting and his idea was to run up and tackle one of the varsity players.

Look how hard Spyder flinched just then.. 

I do believe Spyder was joking at this time but (i’m reaching as of now) could Spyder have said that as a joke to hide the fact that he gets injured so much that ice packs are just a regular thing for him?

Versus The Deep

Versus The Outbreak

Versus The Dark Night

Yeah.. If someone said this to me, I’d feel really upset... Going back to the time when Spyder fixed the arm cannon and saved the others from suffocating, when he threw his candy bar to distract the guards and buy Ryan more time to hack a lock, when he freed himself from the ropes tying him to the chair and helped Ryan and Harris get out of their bonds while the serial killer guy was distracted, when Spyder defended Ryan when Mark was angry before finding out about the adoption, were all these instances not enough to prove that Spyder was a worthy team member? 

Versus Velocity And Veracity

This part isn’t necessarily angsty but I love how Spyder saw Veracity was having a hard time and went to find her to tell her she was doing fine with the team. 

Why does Spyder’s face say that he also experienced the same thing? Like he relates to the struggle of going from independent to dependent on friends? Could he have secretly gone through the same thing Veracity is going through with joining the team when he, Ryan and Harris were first becoming friends?

Sorry there was less text in this one but with the amount of gifs, I wanted to make this post as short as possible.

Part 2 will be coming soon!

Mech-X4 Week Day 2

"Ow!" Spyder glared as Veracity poked his arm before pushing her glasses up on her face .

"Good job, Spyder. You completely broke your arm being a dumbass. Why did you think taking a dive for your food was necessary?"

"Because I don't take food for granted, Veracity."

Veracity winced when he said that as she started making a sling so she could get his arm up.

"God, I hate when you bring that stuff up."

"Sorry..." Spyder sighed, flinching as she slipped his bandage into the sling. "I'm just used to joking about that stuff. That was the only way I used to deal with it, and now that he's out, I'm having a hard time stopping."

"You don't have to apologize, Spyder. Why do you think I make jokes when I'm scared?"

"Wait, what?"

"Yeah, life before my dads wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. I was number four in a family with eight kids. My father was never home except once a week, and my mom was a alcoholic. Beat the shit out of all of us, and actually beat one of my brothers so badly that he died. Then social services got involved. They arrested my mom and separated all of us. They changed our names as well. My name was Lauren Daisy. They let me pick my name. I thought Veracity sounded cool. I was bounced around a bit, and then my dad's adopted me."

"I'm sorry, V."

"It's okay. I just wanna see my siblings again, but that's extremely unlikely." She sighed, before adjusting the sling. "Was your dad sentenced yet?"

"No. They want me and my mom to testify against him tomorrow. She's probably gonna cry." He looked down, looking at his short fingernails.

"Are you gonna be okay?" Veracity asked, putting her hand on his shoulder. "Cause I'm free tomorrow if you need moral support."

"You'd do that?"

"You're like a brother to me. Absolutely."

Spyder smiled as he sat up, before wrapping his arm around her, holding her closely. "Thank you."
