Chapter 2
Ben sat content in the back seat, Albedo laying on his back with his head in the hero's lap, his snowy white hair in swirls on the blue jeans. He listened to the labored breathing of his counterpart, making sure he kept breathing. It Hurt, a hard pressure in his chest, to see Albedo in such a position, so, broken.
Kevin stared blankly at the road, somewhat concerned about Ben, and how sad he looked. It was new to him, this look, he never saw the sad side of Ben. He's seen only the cheery happy-go-luck teen that was his friend. Of course he's seen an evil side to him, that ran shivers up his spine, but nothing so depressing.
Gwen scanned the scenery, looking for the so called plumbers base. The pain inside the car was thick, so thick you could probably cut it with a knife, and the tension was killing her. She glanced at the silent jacketless boy, noticing he had used it as a blanket for Albedo. It hurt her to see her cousin in such a state, so sad.
Finally Kevin made a turn into an old gas station. It was falling apart. The paint was melting, the windows, shards, and the door was on the other side of the lot. The pumps were covered with spider webs and dust, the meters broken, making them seem like glaring little solders, all aligned under the collapsed awning. The sides of the building were covered in vines and weeds, trees poking out of cracks in the asphalt.
The team got out of the muscle car, Ben last as for he was carefully sliding out Albedo into his arms. He made a small moan as a chilled wind hit him. Ben's eyes started to water as the breeze hit him in the face.
"Ben stop crying and hurry up!" Kevin called from the doorway, Ben nodded ad proceeded in the direction indicated. As soon as they were inside Gwen and Kevin began to look for an entrance.
"Kevin, are you sure this is an active plumbers base?" Gwen asked throwing a sideways glance at her boyfriend.
"Yes, I'm sure, it's on the list of the active ones. AHAH!" he replied, finally finding a switch that opened a secret door. Kevin placed his plumbers badge in a socket and the second door slid open with a hiss. The group entered cautiously. Gwen yelped as a rat ran by.
"HELLOOOO!!?" Ben chimed loudly, hoping to get someone's attention. "Is anybody here!?!" he called again. A response came from the main room.
"Who's there!?!" called a gruff voice. A doglike alien appeared from behind the desk. His fur was a pale brown with a black spot around his eyes, making him look like a bear. "Who're you!?" he barked at the teens. Ben walked out in front of the other's.
"He needs help, a doctor." He pleaded. The dog stared wide eyed at the silver haired boy.
"R-right away." He choked out. "Follow me."
