Black Spartans

What would you do... For family?

(A/n ALL Credit for Red Vs Blue goes the Rooster Teeth, I own nothing from them!)

A month later Mark laid with Angel watching a movie. She moved forward to grab more popcorn and then nuzzled back into Marks arms. Mark laid his head on hers, comfortable, but, fate has a funny way of making herself known. The comm on the table suddenly buzzed loudly, and Mark stood up walking over to it, looked at it and smiled. 

"727 here, hows Alpha doing?" Mark asked.

"Hello 727! Alpha is doing extremely well! Only a couple more days  and he should be able to go on your next tour." The A.I. Tech said, Mark smiled. 

"Thats great, and.... about the other project? Phoenix?" Mark asked in a hushed whisper. 

"That.... will take a lot more time, but with the data you were able to scavenge from Alpha's data sipher.... perhaps two years?" The tech said, Mark's smile dropped. 

"It never takes that long for a A.I to compute!" Mark hissed, annoyed. 

"Easy 727, yes it doesnt usually take that long, but thats a brand new A.I. You're trying to program memories into a specific A.I, that is what will take longer." The A.I. Tech said calmly. 

"Is it that hard? Or are you trying to change her? I know what you do, and if Alpha or Cortana are changed at all... hell will rain down on you, and your families." Mark hissed, the breathing told Mark that the Tech was there, but  too terrified to speak. 

"I must ask you to apologize, or the Admirals will be told of your threat." The Tech said finally, Mark snorted loudly. 

"The Admirals would support my decision, Im part of the group that saved the world, I'm the chief's best friend... you... your just a tech, get them both repaired." Mark said, then ended the call. 

"Techs messing with Alpha?" Angelica asked hugging Mark from behind. 

"Of course they are, what else do they do?" Mark said annoyed, not mentioning his pet project, he wanted to use the data of Cortana he had recovered from Alpha to make a new Cortana. The Chief deserved her back.

 "Well come on back to the couch, the movies almost over." Angelia said taking Marks hand and leading him back. Mark had barely sat down when the comm went off again, this time, the default ringtone. Mark stood up and walked over looking at the name. (A/n, Im assuming that Allison kept her name and her husband took it.... just so you know) 

"Leonard Church? It cant be..." Mark said under his breath. 

"Hello?" Mark asked. 

"Mark Church... its been a long time Spartan." Leonard said his gruff old voice the same as Mark remembered. 

"Leonard.... my sister husband... am I correct?" Mark asked, Angelica stood up and walked over hearing the conversation. "If you remember me then you will know that-" "WHERE THE HELL IS MY SISTER?!" Mark interrupted. 

"There is much we have to discuss, come to these coordinates and we can speak... you may wish to meet your niece." Leonard added, Mark gritted his teeth as he saw the message come across. 

"Thats extremely far out, what are you hiding Leonard?" Mark asked calmly. 

"If your wondering why its so far out....my project isnt exactly fully.... Legal." Leonard said slowly, Mark's fingers curled into a fist, he had taken his sister away and had a child without his know how? Why?

 "I can be there in a couple days.... if your not there I will track you down and eliminate you... Im not a child anymore Leonard." Mark said, his tone deadly serious.
