Okay so hear me out

What if along with the gun thing, Murray also gets suspicious because Ben is being…nice to him

Sure, Murray’s been acting chummy with him for a while, in a futile effort to try and salvage the friendship they had but he didn’t really expect him to reciprocate

He knows very well that, even now that they’re on the same side, Ben still hates him for stabbing him in the back

So when Ben acts as if they’ve been friends forever, and seems to genuinely like him, that’s what gets Murray to be like “okay, something is wrong”

I thought about an au; in ESS Ben is caught as a double agent by Joshua while he is talking to Mr.E. But instead of offing him they and decides that SPIDER stills needs Ben so they brain wash him.

Ashley had a part of catching Ben as a mole, so she is helping keep everything hush hush from the others.

The next morning Murray, Nefarious, and the Hales notice something off about Ben. He more cheerful and genuine about everything, and most unsettling eager to help SPIDER. Nefarious doesn’t do much about this but Murray does after watching Ben ACTUALLY SHOOTING A GUN ACCURATELY. So, he starts snooping around find out what happen to Ben.

While this is all happening the Hales think that Ben has actually switch sides and are with SPIDER, or at least Cyrus does. Erica believes that something happens to Ben and riskily infiltrate the base only to find Murray sneaking around. Erica attacks Murray and after they both discuss on how Ben is acting strange and decide to temporarily team up.

And Alexander is doing the same thing he did in the end of SSGN pretending to agree to Cyrus. When in reality he is distracting his father every time Erica goes ti SPIDER’s base (they either bond or angst issues, probably the latter).

Also also Mr.Wigglebottem (Alexander cat that was never brought up again) has a moment distracting guards while Erica and Murray sneak inside a building.

Erica finds out that Ben has ben brain washed Murray tells her about the missiles (i dont remember if he already knew, but if he didnt he just finds out). I dont know if Murray would do anything to stop the missiles or if he will help Erics stop them consider he might feel against using brain washing idk. Erica convinces him either way along with Nefarious. Murray and Nefarious try to disable/shut down the missile, while Erica deals with Ashley and Ben (Joshua already had left at this point).

Erica barely manages to defeat Ashley with Ben, who is now better at fighting while brainwashed, aiding her. With Ashley now unconscious Erica is left with a brain washed Ben. She doesnt want to hurt Ben, because it’s BEN, so she fights hesitantly against him (giving ben the upper hand). While in the middle of their fight, Ben starts fighting against the brain wash serum (does that make sense? i think thats how brain wash works). Erica notices this and starts telling Ben about the past memories such as his friends and past missions. When she mentions Mike, Ben snaps out of the brain wash and becomes himself again (yay :D)

Finally, after a heart felt moment between Erica, who is happy to have Ben back, and Ben, who is repeatedly apologizing since he remembers everything he done while brain washed. Murray interrupts them and with the combination of everyone’s skills they successfully shut down the missile.
