"Tennyson, get up! Lying on the floor really isn't helping!" Kevin Levin turned his head and shouted.
Ben Tennyson tried to get up off of his back after being thrown across the Mr Smoothie parking lot. The impact of hitting the ground automatically turned echo echo back into Ben. But he couldn't get up; every time he sat up he felt a searing pain going up his back before falling back down again. After a few moments a DNAlien managed to get in front of Ben and was about to spit acidic goo all over him until a swipe of violet energy swung round and flung the DNAlien across the road and into a nearby building. Ben then blacked out.
He woke to find a soft, warm hand against his cheek. He looked up to see his beautiful auburn haired cousin with a worried expression on her face, but it soon disappeared when she saw him open his eyes and smile at her. He then turned a little more to his left and looked over her shoulder to see a 'less than impressed' Kevin.
"What was that!" Kevin shouted down at Ben. "I had to defeat all the DNAliens by myself 'cause you decided to take a nap!" Kevin was in a fit of rage by now; clenching his fists, gritting his teeth in the most menacing way possible and shooting the odd glare at Ben every so often.
"Ahem," came a feminine but firm voice, "for starters I helped beat the DNAliens too, and second I don't see you taking a hit like Ben did and getting straight back up again!" Gwen said raising her voice a little.
Ben smiled a little at the thought of her backing him up, but the smile disappeared just as quickly when Kevin replied with; "Well I didn't take a hit like that because I didn't give them the chance to hit me."
The arguing went on like that for a little while longer until Ben decided to speak up.
"Uh guys I can't get up" he was mainly addressing Gwen but he knew he needed Kevin's help as well.
Gwen immediately rushed to help Ben up whereas Kevin was a bit reluctant but slowly decided to help. It still hurt Ben to try and get up even with the help of others, but once he was standing, with a little support, he could walk to Kevin's car.
The ride home was a little quiet with no one really saying anything except for the occasional wince from Ben every time they drove over a speed bump or a pothole. Kevin quite enjoyed Ben's pain at this time so he put all his thoughts about damaging his car to one side and tried to run over every pothole and speed bump possible, throwing in the occasional swerve to shake him a bit and cause him more pain. Gwen noticed what he was doing but decided not to say anything yet, she would tell Ben later and they could get back at Kevin together. Just as Ben was about to ask Kevin to drive a little more carefully Kevin turned up the radio full blast in an attempt to end the conversation before it started but he didn't stop going out of his way to hurt Ben.
