Thinking of her past, she had cried so many times before. But this time, she was filled with bitter-sweet emotions. Her forehead and back were wet with sweat, a strange and dreading feeling, but she is also part happy… a hope, that she had from a long time ago came true.
She is so surprised by the newest addition to the Tennyson's family, that it almost felt like a dream to her.
The redheaded plumber got transferred to another planet, Avrenon, 7 years ago. She would be doing her usual hero business there just like how it would be on earth, except that she would see fewer humans and more aliens in the public. Avrenon is far ahead of earth in terms of general safety and technology, that there is a very low crime rate on the planet. She would often get very bored of staying on the planet. And because of the low crime rate, the plumbers there would get 6 months of vacation. Gwen spends that 6 months on earth, luckily enough, everyone's birthday falls within that six months that she couldn't miss anyone's birthday. When Gwen first heard about the planet, she thought that Ben made her transfer to that planet for a reason.
She was packing her things up while she stumbled upon an old photograph. There was a redheaded woman with a small baby in her hand while a man with black hair and muscular build put his hand around her neck. The overall photo looked so happy, painted with emotions. Tears fell from Gwen's eyes, as she tried to control her emotions, she felt a weird sensation in her stomach. She put the photograph in her bag and shrugged the memories off and started to head to the terminal.
She had never been so happy to visit the earth before. She quitted her job at Avrenon and informed Ben about it. She observed her surrounding one last time, knowing that she will never come back, she sighed and climbed the stairs which leads to the other end of the terminal where inter-planetary transport vehicles were stationed.
Although she was overwhelmed with painful emotions when she visited the earth, she was taken good care by the Tennyson family which includes ben, Julie, and Ken.
Gwen had gone through a lot of emotional traumas in the past. Which amazes ben how she could cope with her pain and suffering. Although Gwen is broken, she has a firm and sane mind which helped her slip through various problems that would have broken her even more.
Gwen sighed as she reached her destination. She saw Ben waiting for her, she ran towards him and hugged him tightly.
"Ben it's been so long." The fiery anodite said as she pulled off the embrace, her glimmering emerald eyes reflected Ben's happy face.
"ha! Yes, Gwen, everyone misses you so much." Ben said as he saw a sense of hope… longing in her eyes. He smiled slightly and said "There is a new member of our family. Devlin. He wanted to see you the day Ken told about you to him" Ben said as he walked towards the road.
"I will… did you…?" She paused as she looked into Ben's warm eyes worriedly.
"No, Gwen, as you said," He said giving her a slight smile. He noticed a brief expression of sadness on her face before she gave a smile. Tears rolled from her eyes as she hugged Ben one more time and said: "Thank you, Ben". Ben had never been so satisfied with the word 'Thank you' before.
She felt a cool breeze running through her face on that hot afternoon due to the shade cast by the huge plumber HQ, which was also where the Tennysons live. She was about to open the door.
"Gwen, remember…" Ben interrupted as he held a hand on Gwen's shoulder.
"I'll be okay Ben," She said as she opened the door to see a 10-year-old brunette standing with an excited face and wide eyes.
"Aunt Gwendolyn!" The boy said as he ran into her embrace. "Why didn't you attend my birthday party?" The brown haired boy said to her with a sad face.
"I'm sorry Ken, I had some extra work to do, but anyways, from now onwards, I'm going to stay here itself," She said with a warm smile as she rubbed his head.
"Really?!" The boy said with a shocking but happy tone.
"Yes," She said as she kissed his forehead and moved on to Julie who was standing with a warm welcoming smile.
"it's so good to see you after a long time, Gwen," Julie said as she hugged Gwen.
"Me too, Julie," Gwen said as her view shifted from Julie to a small boy with black hair who was walking towards Ken. She slowly walked towards him controlling all her emotions, she needs to Take that boy into her embrace and cry. She walked towards him with a warm and caring smile.
"Hey, it's nice to meet you. I heard from Ben that you wanted to meet me" Gwen said as she raised the boy's bowing head by lifting his chin. That's when she really looked at his face. He looked so sad. He looked just like… Kevin. He had bright emerald eyes, just like Ben.
"My name is Devlin. Ken told me a lot about you. I was just curious" The boy said with a weak smile.
"You look so sad. What happened?" Gwen said in a delicate voice as she patted his cheeks slightly.
"I'm just nervous"
"There is no reason to be nervous, come" Gwen opened her hands open for the boy to embrace her. She held him a bit tight… so did Devlin. She then stood up.
"come on Gwen, and come on kids, let's have lunch," Julie said as she brought foods to the table.
"Devlin and Ken, go and have your lunch," Ben said in a commanding voice.
"by kids, I mean it also includes you, Benjamin Kirby Tennyson," Julie said as she furrowed her brows.
Ben gave a sheepish smile and started to head towards the table.
The lunch went as usual. With the addition of Devlin and Gwen, it felt way Better to the superhero family. After the lunch, Ken and Devlin went outside with their hoverboard to play while Gwen went to her room to take a short nap. Julie was doing her usual chores in the kitchen and Ben attended an important meeting regarding the increase in alien attacks on earth in recent months.
