It was Monday, which meant Ryan and Reece were finally going to see each other again. Reece sighed as Seth drove her to school, looking out the window.
"Nervous?" Seth asked.
"Kind of... I just... I don't like what happened between Ryan and me last time I saw him..." Reece admitted.
"I guess you'll just have to talk it out," Seth smiled, patting her shoulder. "I mean, talking is always helpful! Right...?"
"Yeeeaaahh..." Reece reluctantly agreed. "I guess so."
Seth smiled and stopped the car. "See you after school."
Reece smiled. "Bye, Seth."
She grabbed her backpack and got out. She looked around as she walked towards the school, wondering where he was and if she'd see him...

Spyder poked Reece's shoulder. "Psst!"
Reece looked over at him, whispering, "Spyder, we're taking a test!"
"Yeah, can I copy off you?" Spyder whispered.
Ryan whacked him. "Spyder!"
Spyder smiled sheepishly. "Sorry...here."
He handed her a note.
Reece looked at it then at Ryan. She put it up.
'After the test,' she mouthed.
She looked back down and kept working. Spyder copied off of her very obviously. Reece just rolled her eyes and ignored him... Ryan watched for a moment then kept working.

After class, Reece unfolded the note and began reading...

Reece, I'm sorry about how I acted yesterday... I acted like a total dingus. You're right. You can make your own choices. I hope you'll forgive me. Meet us at lunch. We have some new information about the you-know-what.
- Ryan

Reece smiled slightly, glanced at Ryan, and nodded. She grabbed her backpack and walked out to her next class.
Spyder grinned. "It worked! High five!"
He held his hand up. Ryan laughed and shook his head, highfiving him and walking out.
Harris caught up. "So, is she coming, Ryan?"
"Yeah, I think so... I also think she accepted my apology," Ryan added.
"Not the main focus, but...bonus," Harris agreed. "Meet up at lunch?"
Spyder nodded. "Yep! Also, I'm totally going to nail this exam. Sitting beside Reece is awesome!"
"They move you for cheating off me, and now you cheat off her... Do you ever stop?" Harris asked.
"...no..." Spyder said slowly. "See you at lunch!"
Spyder ran off to class.
Harris just sighed. "See you at lunch, Ryan."
Ryan nodded then they all headed to their next classes.

Reece walked in the lunchroom and sat beside Ryan. "Hey guys..."
Ryan smiled. "Hey! So...we're good?"
Reece nodded, smiling back. "We're good. Soo, what's the news?"
Harris nodded. "Right! So, we were exploring the robot more this weekend when Ryan got this vision... It was of this little girl and Leo working on the robot. We've been trying to figure out who it could be, but it could've been anyone... Most likely, it was his daughter or niece or something like that."
"Really? Wow... That's really cool! So... This Leo guy said he's in hiding, right?" Reece asked.
"Or dead!" Spyder added. They all gave him a look. "What?!"
Mark shook his head. "Nevermind. So... What can we do with this information?"
"The more and more I'm thinking about it... Finding Leo could be vital," Harris stated.
"Yeah, and maybe he can tell us more about the robot and my powers," Ryan added.
Reece smiled and nodded. "Okay... Where do we start?"
"Still working on it," Harris admitted. "He's a hard person to find."
"Right... Harris, you keep working on that while we keep working on keeping the city safe," Ryan stated.
Harris nodded. "Let's head to the robot after school."
The others nodded in agreement then began eating.
