This is my first future fic, again all based around Gwevin and what happened between Gwen and Kevin to make him become evil again. *Sighs* So sad, anyway here we go and I hope you enjoy. This is the first chapter and it takes place after Devlin joins the Tennyson family. There will be a lot of flashbacks and dreams so those will be represented in italics. So let me know how I do. :) –I Own Nothing –Lionesso002

Gwen's POV
"You promised," he murmured to me quietly while stroking my cheek. I felt the tears slide down my cheeks while I felt the aching pain of a broken heart.
"I know," I whispered. "I'm sorry," I felt him lock his arms around me and lay his head on top of mine.
"This used to be an everyday thing, why did you give up on me?" He asked stroking my hair. I burrowed into his neck inhaling his scent. I missed him so much it hurt.
"I didn't have a choice, he made me do it," I sobbed clutching to him. He ran his hands down the exposed skin of my shoulders every few inches kissing me.
"Why didn't you object then?" He whispered kissing the crown of my head.
"I was forced, he threatened me," he lightly pushed me against the wall and kissed along my neck. I bit my lip and arched my neck as I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"That's to bad, because you betrayed me," he hissed pulling away out of my grip. My eyes widened and I felt my heart ripping as I watched him walk away, again.
"Kevin..." I breathed watching as he disappeared into the darkness.
...
I woke with a start and gasped for breath as I clutched my frantically beating heart. I frantically looked around then remembered where I was, an airplane. I had just returned from an off world mission and for the first time in years, I was traveling home.
"Miss? Can I get you some water?" The waitress asked. I slowly tucked a strand of my waist long apple hair behind my ear and looked up at her.
"Yes, please," I whispered hoarsely. Airplanes were a dying invention, since teleportation, airplanes were not needed. Now I was sitting in an airplane, alone, with a couple of stewardesses and a pilot. The only reason I took the slowest way home, was because I was dreading going home.
Ever since I had decided to go home, I was having more and more dreams, visions, memories. All of him. When I was off world, I would get one or two maybe every other month, now it was one or two every week. I sighed and leaned my head against the head rest and rubbed my temples.
"Here you go."
"Thanks," I said grabbing the glass of water and taking a sip. I wasn't really paying all that much attention to the stewardess, I was too caught up in my own personal and internal problems.
"Let me know if there's anything I can get you."
"Will do," I said as the waitress walked away. I had sent a message to Ben at Mt. Rushmore a few days ago to let him know I would be returning home. It had me worried, what if it was to different for me to adapt now?
I turned my gaze out the window and watched the clouds lazily as they floated by. I slowly began to drift off into a light sleep. After about three hours of flying a voice came on the intercom and awoke me, "This is your pilot speaking, we will be arriving at Mt. Rushmore in a matter of minutes. Please fasten your seatbelt and put your seat in an upright position. Thank you."
I slowly rubbed my eyes and reclined my seat forward. "I wanted it to take forever, but why did it feel like it went so fast?" I thought as I belted myself to the seat.
"Thank you for flying with us and we hope you had a satisfactory flight," The pilot said into the intercom. I felt the airplanes tires bounce against the asphalt and skid to a halt on the runway. I took a deep and painstaking breath and unbuckled.
"Time to see the family," I mumbled to myself standing up and stretching. I reached up and grabbed my bag from the overhang and pulled it over my shoulder.
"Do you need help with anything?" The stewardess asked motioning toward my bags.
"Uh, sure..." I said handing her one of my bags. She smiled and headed for the exit. I took another deep breath and grabbed my last bag to follow her.
"Why?" Someone whispered. I stopped frozen in my tracks and looked at the stewardess that was waiting for me. I repositioned my bag and walked up to her.
"Did you say something?" I asked her. She tilted her head to the side and shook her head.
"Sorry, no. I didn't hear anything either."
"Right, I must just be tired," I whispered grabbing my bag from her and exiting the plane. I quickened my pace and sped away from the airplane with the stewardess staring after me. I walked into the main terminal and looked around. It was deserted beside an asleep ticket man and a smiling dummy, Ben.
I shook my head and walked over to Ben. "Hi, Ben," I said dropping my bags and walking up to him and giving him a hug. He smiled and hugged back.
"Gwen, it's good to see you," Ben said.
"How's it been?" I asked picking up my dropped bags.
"Not bad, Kenny had his tenth birthday." He paused and turned around with a smile. "He missed you."
"That's nice, but I think he missed me giving him more presents," Ben laughed and walked toward the exit.
We left the airport terminal and walked to the front of the building, it was raining and people were covering their heads running for shelter. I looked up at the sky and smiled. I had almost forgotten how beautiful it was when it rained.
I smiled and held my hand out catching a drop of rain. Ben was looking at me bemused. "You missed living here didn't you?" He said pulling out a his phone and speed dialing a cab. I shrugged and dropped the rain drop watching it splash to the ground.
"Not as much as you would think," I murmured quietly. Ben's gaze saddened and he ran his finger through his hair.
"Still think about it?" Ben asked. I nodded.
"Every day," I said. I saw the cab hover up and the door automatically open. I grabbed my bags and rushed to the cab. I threw my bags in the back and slipped in, Ben followed me.
"Hi Mr. Tennyson."
"You know where to go," Ben ordered from the backseat.
"Will do," the cab driver answered. I brushed rain off of my black and blue shirt and combed through my now damp hair. Ben was surprisingly silent beside me.
"What's up?" I asked him suspiciously. "I've been away for two years and you have nothing to say?" I pestered. He sighed and looked toward me sadly.
"Kevin...attacked a few weeks ago," said Ben. I stiffened and pursed my lips.
"And? That's nothing new," I said turning to look out the cabs window.
"That's not it, we have a new addition to the family, Devlin Levin."
"Oh? Kevin's son?" I answered seemingly unfazed.
"Yeah, Kevin's. He's in the Null Void again and Devlin's part of the family," he said. I nodded and rubbed one of my arms.
"That's great. I can't wait to meet him," I lied to Ben turning to look out the window again. He gave me a skeptical look.
"You sure you're going to be okay?" Ben inquired. I smiled and nodded,
"Of corse, why wouldn't I be?" Ben was about to answer when the cab driver interrupted.
"Here we are Mr. Tennyson."
"Thank you," Ben said. "Put it on my tab."
I exited the can and looked up at Ben's enormous headquarters. "I forgot how huge this place was," I murmured to myself. Ben was beside me looking up at it as well.
"It's kinda daunting, good thing it's not just me," he said walking to the front entrance door. I followed him slowly, still dreading the memory's that would come from staying here. The second I was inside and putting down my bags there was a pounding from upstairs.
"Aunt Gwendolyn's home!" A voice yelled from a couple of story's above. There was some more thumping as a young boy descended down the giant staircase. Kenny finally came into view bolting down the stairs with a giant smile plastered on his face. With one last jump he was on the same floor as me.
"Where's my nephew? He has brown hair, brown eyes and is adorable," I said looking around Kenny.
"Here I am, here, here!" Kenny exclaimed.
"What?" I said in a sarcastic tone. "My look how much you've grown."
"I'm not a little kid anymore, I'm a mature adult," he said flaunting the Omnitrix at me. I smiled and opened my arms for a hug.
"Well even mature adults need hugs," I teased. He smiled and ran into my embrace.
"Did you bring me anything?" He asked excitedly. I stood up and thought for a moment.
"Maybe, but I'll give it to you later, is your mother here?" I asked looking around the entryway.
"Right here," I heard Julie say while she descended down the stairs. She was followed by a boy that looked a little older than Kenny and looked...like Kevin. "Great," I thought.
"It's so good to see you Julie," I said giving her a hug.
"Same here Gwen," She said after finishing the hug and walking up to Ben.
"Hey sweetie," Ben said before giving her a quick peck on the lips.
"Eww, that's gross!" Kenny complained from behind me. I shook my head and ruffled his hair.
"It won't be gross when you're older, Kenny."
For the first time I really looked at Devlin. He looked awkward standing by the stairs alone. He looked so sad, but he really was Kevin's son, no getting around it. He was almost a smaller clone. I walked up to him and kneeled down to Devlin's eye level.
"You must be Devlin," I said warmly. He nodded quietly.
"Yeah," he murmured.
"Well it's wonderful to meet you Devlin, my names Gwendolyn, Gwen for short."
"I've heard a lot about you," Devlin murmured. Again I smiled and stood up.
"Well that isn't fair, you know more about me than I do about you. We'll have to change that," I whispered making Devlin smile slightly and nod.
"Okay."
"Okay boys," Julie began, "time for bed."
"Aw man!" Kenny whined. "But Aunt Gwendolyn just got here," Julie raised an eyebrow and pointed upstairs.
"Now," she said firmly. "She'll be here in the morning," Kenny's shoulders slumped and he sighed.
"Fine."
"Goodnight," Devlin said as he followed Kenny upstairs. All the while staring at me. I ran my fingers through my hair once they were both gone.
"So, how's it been?" Julie asked leading me into the living room. I sat down and looked at Julie and Ben sitting beside each other. For a split second I was envious but I shook it off and smiled.
"Pretty good, the planet I was stationed on was almost all sunny twenty-four seven. I learned a lot and I had time to relax and learn some more spells," I didn't add the part about trying to clear my head and let go of the past.
"That sounds amazing!" Julie exclaimed. "Anything else?" She asked eagerly.
"There's a lot more but I'm a little tired, Julie."
"Oh. Oh I'm sorry Gwen, I guess I just missed you," she said sheepishly. I shrugged and smiled.
"No problem Julie," I said standing giving her a hug. "I'll see you in the morning."
"I'll show you where your room is, Gwen," Ben said standing up. I nodded and headed for the upstairs.
"You do know that I know where my room is, right?" I inquired to Ben. He just shrugged.
"I should be a good host," I rolled my eyes and nudged him.
"I've lived here before, Ben."
"I know, but I need to talk to you first," he murmured, I cocked my eyebrow and shrugged. I followed him to the staircase and followed him up the first few floors. Ben stopped for a minute and pointed at the elevator, I smiled and nodded.
"Floor thirty one," Ben said to the elevator. It automatically started to move up. Voice commanded. Once we got to floor thirty one the elevator doors opened and I grabbed all my bags again. Ben walked me to the door and placed a card over a scanner.
"Was it locked?" I asked as I watched Ben type in codes and scan different papers and other cards.
"Yeah, no one's been in here since...well...you know," I flinched at the memory. It used to be his room, so at the same time our room.
"Thanks," I whispered. Ben pulled me in front of the door and pointed to the eye scanner.
"Only you and uh...Kevin...can open the door fully," I nodded and pulled my hair away from my face and placed my eye in front of the scanner. It scanned my eye and pulled back all the scanners and print takers.
"Welcome home Gwen,"Said the animatronic voice. I sighed and turned to Ben, he smiled and gave me a hug before walking down the hall.
"Night," He called over his shoulder. "See you tomorrow."
I turned to the door and hesitantly walked up to it. I placed my hand on the scanner and let it scan my eye so the door slid open. I closed my eyes and walked in, like Ben had said, no one had been inside in years. There was a thin layer of dust on everything and it was all dark inside the room. I fumbled to find the light switch and flipped on the light when I found it. The light was very dim at first but it slowly brightened. The door closed shut and I stepped father into the room.
I grabbed my bags and placed them on the bottom of the bed. I then opened them up and put all my clothes in the drawers and closet. I sat down on the bed and there was a small 'poof' of dust. I gave an annoyed huff and murmured and spell, "Eporioum satitorious ketlip." When I opened my eyes all of the dust in the room had vanished.
I gazed at the clock and saw it was already past twelve. "Ugh," I moaned as my head hit the pillow. "I need some rest," I thought as I got up and grabbed my PJ's. I quickly change and then slid under the covers.
"Goodnight, Gwendolyn." Someone whispered. I stiffened but was to tired to care at the moment, I just wished I wouldn't be plagued with the dreams of a life that wouldn't be.
