Title: Reworking the puzzle
Rating: G
Comic(s): Avengers: The Initiative
Prompt: 010. Alchemy; Fair Exchange
Character(s): Scarlet Spiders, MVP
Summary: They had lost one but gained another.
A/N: Part of the Science Geek prompt table. Inspired by a fic done by candyflosskillr. (As well as the conversation had before that.)


Van would never be replaced, both of the remaining clones were well aware of that. They had been a unit, one being in three separate bodies. (What was it Slapstick had said? They were like the borg?)

The gap would always be there but at the same time it had been filled.

Michael Van Patrick was very different from them but he understood and helped them learn to live in the world outside Camp Hammond. The clones had been into the city, sure, but things like arcades, movie theaters, and parks were strange to them. (But definitely not unwelcome.)

They had lost Van but in exchange they had gotten someone who was like a brother to them in a whole new way.

To them, it seemed fair enough.
