Gwen was confused beyond whits at what had just happened. She was beyond horrified and shocked at what had just occurred. One moment it was there the next, gone. "Gwen you look like you're about to faint?" Ben asked munching on the pancakes that Ben had just scoffed into his mouth. "How did you….," She was beyond confused. 26 pancakes. 26 pancakes, gone completely in less than a second. 26. Gwen placed her folk down beside her grapefruit as Ben stared down at it. "You gonna eat that?" He asked happily. Gwen gently pushed the plate towards him making him smile more. "Thanks, Babe" Ben said as a man in a large dark coat cringed in disgust.

Gwen stared up at her husband as he engulfed the rest of the grapefruit. "I think I'm gonna go to the bathroom, and be sick" Gwen whispered the last part. The man in the dark coat watched the redhead walk away and soon followed her as the waitress asking him if he wanted anymore distracted Ben.

Gwen washed her hands in silence. The bathroom was completely secluded but a moderate size. She looked down at the sink turning off the taps then looked up to spot something out of the corner of her eye. A man in a coat. She tensed but wasn't afraid more confused. He continued to stare at her for a few seconds before Gwen finally turned around.

"I think the male bathrooms are on the right" Gwen said about to grab the door knob and leave the room. "I wasn't looking for the bathrooms… lovely Gwen" Gwen tensed at the last part. She turned around lighting her hands up ready to fight. "Who are you? What do you want?" the man laughed. "I'm so glad you asked" He removed the coat. "I want you"

Ben tapped his index finger agitated by how long Gwen was taking in the bathroom.

He was deciding to take a stroll down there until another batch of pancakes were brought up to him.

"It's on the house, sugar" the waitress winked at him. Ben smiled and sat back down.

Gwen backed away as far as she could trying to get to the knob and the door and run for it. "Miss me" Kevin chuckled causing Gwen to cringed. "Not in the least" Gwen retorted as her hand touched the door knob. "I wouldn't if I were you" Kevin's arm transformed into a whip and slashed near the door.

Having no choice she jumped out of the way and landed under the sinks. Kevin, having the upper hand, scooped her up quickly by the collar and smashed her into the mirror. Gwen cringed from the pain.

She could hear the mirror splintering about to crack under the intense pressure Kevin was pushing onto her.

"I see I wasn't invited to your little incest of a wedding" Kevin looked her up and down inspecting her. "why would you be invited anyway?" Gwen asked furious. "Aww, Gwenny. We had such good times together, I thought you at least had the decency to ask me if not tell me that you were getting married" He placed a hand up to her cheek. "Cause I couldn't beat the crap out of Tennyson before hand" the mirror finally broke. Kevin then threw her to the opposite end of the room. He walked over to the door and melted it as Gwen attempted to get up. "I guess you're on your own for this one, Gwenny"

Ben looked down at his plumber badge. It signalled that she was at home. Ben's eyebrow rose. She must've walked home; she rarely forgets her plumber badge.

Ben shoved down a couple notes on the table then got up and left.

The waitress smiled as she picked up the five $50 dollar notes and tucked them into her pocket then began to clean the table.

He grabbed her again tightly and raised her up. "LET ME GO" She struggled furiously. Kevin smiled at her comment. He smashed her towards the tiles head first breaking them. Kevin held onto her and waited for her to tap out. He smiled as blood began to scurry out of the corner of her mouth. "Ow…" She whimpered in pain as she kept her eyes closed. She struggled to breathe and her head was spinning like crazy.

"You know what, Gwen? I don't know whether to beat the crap out of you or to revise on past experiences" Kevin cooed into her ear causing her to shudder. "but I know for certain that today's not going to be your lucky day" Kevin forced her to the floor again and watched as she hopelessly attempted to crawl away.

"I hope you and Tennyson weren't planning on having kids, lovely Gwen" Kevin smiled and kicked her straight in the stomach.

Gwen fell to the floor in immense pain. He walked up to her and stood towering over her. He brought his foot back and aimed it directly towards her stomach as Gwen continued to cough up blood.

"This ones gonna hurt" Kevin smiled. Gwen brought her hand up and blasted him in the chest. She then gripped onto the wall and pulled herself up off the ground. She began summoning up her powers as Kevin got back up and with a pink flash she was gone.

Kevin looked over towards the spot where she was and stared at it and smirked.

Ben walked blissfully through the silent streets.

He began whistling 'close to you' his wedding song. A classic, Max had chosen it out for them. He looked up to the large, green tower and saw a violet flash of manna escaping from one of the windows.

He smiled.

It was Gwen.

She collapsed onto the living room floor in tremors of pain. She couldn't let Ben see her like this, he'd freak out. Gwen grabbed onto the arm chair and hoisted herself up then with enough strength managed to drag herself up stairs and into the main bedroom. She looked at her reflection. She felt as though she were 16 all over again. "You didn't really think you'd escape that easily would you" She turned around but regretted it immediately as he grabbed her throat and lifted her up so her feet were 45cm from the floor.

"Kevin" She wheezed out.

"Let go" She winced and gripped his hands hoping to remove them. "Why should I?" He asked as she began to suffocate with her lasts breathing. He released his grip and she fell to the floor. Harshly. "I used to think about you and your cousin every single miserable day in the slammer" Kevin sat down on the bed.

"And when I saw you in that delicious dress at the wedding, I just new I had to have you…again" He stood up and walked over to her. "Of course you were always mine" He roughly gripped her chin in his large-paw like hands. "Ben just stole you away for a while" He lifted her up again and chucked her on the bed.

"Do you know how long I have been waiting for this moment" He grabbed her collar about to rip off her buttoned shirt. "not long enough"

'BANG'

'SMASH'

Gwen looked up to see Max with a gun in his right hand. "You alright, kiddo?" Gwen nodded and looked over to the broken window where Kevin had been made an escape.

Max walked up to her checking to make sure she was okay. "did he hurt you?" He asked placing a hand on her shoulder. Gwen winced. "Nuh, it's not as bad as it looks" She told him. Max stared down at her as she continued to wince for a few more seconds. "Common you need to go to the infirmary" Max took her arm and moved it around his neck and kept a tight hold on it as he lifted the girl up enabling her to walk. "Please don't tell Ben" Gwen whispered as they walked out of the room and through the corridors. "Why not he has to"

"No"

Max stopped in his tracks and looked over to her. "Ben can help, Gwen. Relationships built on trust," He told her but she winced and looked away. "I know but he's so stressed out at the moment and what if I tell him, he'll go insane, he'll have a mental break-down" Max pressed a button next to a large silver door and opened it. He then walked over to silver table in the middle and allowed her to sit down on it.

"He's going to find out, Gwen, Look at you" Max walked over to the first-aid box and placed it down beside her. Gwen sighed as Max took out a gauze cloth covered in alcohol and antiseptic "it's not as bad as it looks"
