No Tomorrow
A Ben10 Fan Fiction
Chapter 1
Gwen leaned against the door frame, silently watching her cousin. He was reading; which in and of itself was unremarkable, but it brought home to her how much had changed in the four years since she, Ben, and their grandfather had spent their summer touring the country and fighting aliens (as well as each other).
Her cousin interrupted her reverie,
"What'cha doin' dweeb?" he asked without looking up.
Maybe he hadn't changed that much.
"Just thinking about how badly I'm going to kick your ass when we spar today doofus."
His head popped up from his book. That got his attention.
"Yeah, right, No way am I letting that happen."
He taunted as he rolled off the sofa discarded his book and grabbed his duffel bag all in one movement. His bright green eyes glinted and his grin widened in anticipation of combat.
She frowned slightly. "Forgetting some thing dimwit"
Ben's eyes went wide and he checked himself, "nope, I'm wearing pants this time." He responded smiling as if that were some sort of accomplishment.
A discouraged sigh escaped her lips, "Your badge! You remember what happened last time, don't you?
He did. His grin fell. His only verbal response was a grunt as he turned around to search for his security badge.
She knew her cousin hated working for the government as some weird cross between agent and specimen, but it was that or be hunted which was a losing proposition now that Uncle Sam knew who they were, not that Ben and herself couldn't elude capture, but they had to think of their parents and extended family, including their grandfather who had been offered a job in the new monster hunting agency. No actual threats had been made when they were contacted, but…
It was definite proof that Ben had matured that he accepted the "paid summer internship" at a base in the middle of nowhere. There were definite advantages to the arrangement though, there were a surprising number of magical tomes and grimores in the base library, and less surprising was the intelligence on aliens obviously available from when the "Plumbers" were active.
"YES!" Ben yelled from behind the couch, standing and holding the badge above his head like a trophy.
"I found it! Now let's go beat the crap out of each other!"
Gwen couldn't help but grin at her cousin's enthusiasm, as she followed him towards to recreation building.
To Be Continued...
So yeah, that's what i have so far.
next chapter should be the fight, and from Ben's perspective, but nothing is set in stone, so if you have any suggestions please put it in your review.
thank you for reading.
