Sorry but i will NEVER belive that in the secret mated au Spider gets kidnapped by the RDA.
For me when Lo'ak calls Jake telling him what and who they found Neteyam doesn't wait a single moment.
Lo'ak: "Me, Spider, K-"
Neteyam: "Lo'ak i swear that if Spider gets hurt in any single and possible way, if only an hair is being pull out of him. I will beat the crap out of you"
(I like to think Neteyam is protective of Spider, I will die on this road)
So then Neteyam says to his parents he knows a shortcut, and they practically have to beg him to go slower because their ikrans are almost giving in from fatigue.
Neteyam growls at them, and then say a low apology remebering that those are his parents.
They arrive, he jumps off his ikran, and he founds the others in no time, his parents behind him.
Then bla bla bla fight and bla bla bla
Neteyam during the fight grabs Spider and Tuk and he runs with them were they put the ikrans.
"Tuk you ok?" He asks first and Tuk who is shaken nods and she hugs him tightly.
"Spider are you ok?" Neteyam asks and Spider nods before hugging him tightly too.
"I was so scared i thought- i don't even wanna thought what i thought" Neteyam says
"Is alright dude, I'm okay" Spider reasume him.
"Oh mate, my dear mate" Neteyam says
That how the family finds out, them returning to the others and hearing Neteyam say 'mate' to Spider.
OR
Neteyam getting kidnapped with Spider because there is no way he leaves his mate behind.
I'm so sorry, I have many things to say about this.
FIRST OF ALL, killing myself at Spider calling Neteyam "dude" only for Neteyam to respond with "my dear mate." Like, the audacity. Neteyam's not even worried anymore he's simply like, doubling down on nicknames to combat DUDE. His family find out because he was pissed about being called dude. Now I simply have to headcanon that Spider is calling Neteyam the most platonic, dudebro names possible while Neteyam tries to call him sappier and grosser pet names.
Spider: Hey man, what's up?
Neteyam: Seriously? Hey gorgeous, how are you, BELOVED?
Spider: I'm doing great, thanks, my guy.
Neteyam: Great to hear, sweetness.
Spider: How about you...
Neteyam: Don't say it.
Spider: ...bro.
Neteyam: OH GOD.
Secondly, I still am of the hardcore nocorro mindset where Spider is Neteyam's place to be vulnerable and voice all of his fears and inadequacies. I don't vibe super hard with the idea of any of Spider's relationships being the na'vi character protecting him all the time, I don't think he would accept that. He can handle himself and he would hate being babied. Plus, the Sully's especially are so important to him because they treat him like an equal. So I guess I'm fighting you on this road?
That being said, I do find the idea of Neteyam hiding the fact that he's trying to protect Spider from him, so he's just secretly threatening Lo'ak all the time, whispered fights behind Spider's back or as soon as he leaves, like "that is my mate now not just your dumbass idiot best friend, stop trying to get him killed along with you." And Lo'ak's just threatening to tell Spider about it all the time.
Neteyam: don't bring Spider to that.
Lo'ak: oOH, I'M TELLING HIM YOU SAID THAT.
Neteym: WAIT-
Finally, I can see Spider getting kidnapped while they are secretly mated, just because Neteyam trusts his parents. The drama would be this might be the incident to break that unfailing trust. They are kids, and despite growing up in a battle, their parents are legends. I think it would be a big deal for Neteyam to have them not bring his mate back, even unintentionally. They're supposed to be the perfect people he's living up to, what the fuck is he doing if they can fail? Mental crisis.
Also Tuk on the back of the ikran as Spider and Neteyam reunite:

random hc but. crowley being a plague doctor in the 16th/17th century bc he's supposedly "tempting people into death" but he can never, ever bring himself to actually do that so he ends up soothing their pain as best as he can and comforting them in their last moments. one night, after he held a little girl's hand as she passed away, he sits down at the banks of the river thames, with his plague mask discarded on the dirt, and he starts out over the water with tears in his eyes, wondering what the fuck is actually the point? it's not the first time he's asked himself the question nor the first plague he witnessed but, here, now after personally witnessing hundreds of deaths every day, he really wonders what actually is the point of him? why does he exist and why should he keep existing. why does he get to live when so many others don't? how is that fair? how is any of it fair? that's how aziraphale finds him, as he just got back from an assignment somewhere or other and hears crowley is in town, so he discreetly looks for him and finds him there, sitting in the dirt, now with his head in his hands, his shoulders silently shaking and is obviously immediately worried but doesn't know how to comfort him or what's allowed so he just sits beside crowley and watches him try to pull himself together. aziraphale's heart breaks, he put what happened together from the mask and the robes and he obviously knows about the bubonic plague but was convinced it was hell's doing and couldn't have even imagined crowley was out there everyday, helping people under the guise of hurting them. is he surprised? no, of course not but it still hurts to see crowley like this. but he's afraid to cross their unspoken rules so he quietly waits crowley out. he watches the water and doesn't dare look at crowley as he lifts his head and takes a few shaky breaths in. after a few minutes of breathing, crowley croaks out "her name was mary" and nothing else, and aziraphale understands, god he understands. it's one of the things they never speak about after it happens but aziraphale can't forget the night he sat with crowley for hours, till the sun came up, as he cried about a death of one little girl. he holds it close to his chest and never, ever forgets.
